What is a Master Plan?

The Master Plan for OAK is a concept-level planning and feasibility study that identifies potential near-term projects (5-year timeframe) and provides long-term (20 year) on-Airport general land-use guidance.

• The Master Plan:
  • Follows FAA Advisory Circular No. 150/5070-6A
  • Identifies near-term projects and provides long-term on-Airport general land-use guidance
  • Provides a vehicle for community participation in airport planning (through a Stakeholder Advisory Committee)
  • Meets the requirements in various settlement agreements
    
    
• The Master Plan does not:
  • Focus on detailed plans for individual projects
  • Include every project the Port might propose in the 20-year planning horizon
  • Approve specific projects
  • Undergo detailed environmental review under CEQA / NEPA because it is exempt as a planning / feasibility study (preliminary, screening-level environmental benefits and possible constraints were examined in the Master Plan)
