(24) Kaye Schurkens, Senior Planner, explained the purpose of the hearing. She stated that Norton may be turned over as early as 1992 and that the Department of Defense has prepared an environmental impact statement. There was some discussion regarding the possibility of reversionary clauses to land at Norton. Ms. Schurkens stated that Norton has a 10,000 foot runway in top of the line condition. According to economic research done by P & D Technologies, the design capacity of the airport is 200,000 total annual flights. The airport is experiencing an 80% vacancy of the use at this time. The proposed number of flights will be 37,000. Kaye Schurkens of the Department of Planning and Building Services used a map to present alternative 1. Using this alternative the airport use would be less than 20% of its designed capacity. Streets would remain at their current width 23 2/5/90 . .~._----,.._._.__..~-_..._----_..._-_. I which is 22 feet to 33 feet from curb to curb. There would be no redesign of existing street layout. Buildings would be used "as is"; except for life safety features they would not be brought up to current codes and standards. Land usage would be left as it is now. Under alternative 1, the airport related usage would be 1,760 acres, light industrial would be 198 acres, residential/commercial would be 285 acres, and other usages such as the golf course would be 45 acres. Ms. Schurkens answered questions regarding the noise contour and the parallel safety zones. Ms. Schurkens presented alternative 2 which increases airport usage and proposes that a transition street connect Del Rosa Avenue and Tippecanoe. This would be a major arterial similar to University Parkway. Other streets would be allowed to remain as they are unless they present an immediate problem. Buildings whose design and usage fit the land use pattern would remain and existing buildings which remain would be brought up to current codes and standards. The existing commissary building (100,000 square feet) would become a new airport terminal. Alternative 2 includes 1,822 acres of airport related uses; 160 acres of light industrial uses, 261 acres of commercial regional uses and 45 acres of other uses (golf course). Alternative 3 would provide 1,860 acres of airport related uses, 383 acres of office industrial park and 45 acres of other uses. Al ternative 3 would maximize utilization of the airstrip. Tippecanoe/Del Rosa would be redesigned as set forth in alternative 2 and would be up-graded to a 64 foot width curb to curb. Buildings would be replaced and the land recycled for an office industrial park, which allows for commercial usage when it supports the existing users. This transition would take place in phases. A greenbelt would be planted along all arterial streets and along the safety zone. The existing commissary building would become the San Bernardino regional airport terminal. Ms. Schurkens stated that each of the alternatives would require re-alignment of the golf course. An alternative 4 was recommended by P and D Technologies, but a map was not shown. Mr. Bill Leonard spoke regarding the need to retain BSD and the commissary. 24 2/5/90 Ms. Schurkens answered questions regarding the alternatives and mentioned that Orange County is looking at Norton for its passenger airport potential.
