| | RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the Planning Commission recommend the Assembly APPROVE City CSP2018 0015, the reconstruction of Juneau International Airport Terminal, Phase 2. In addition to the submitted plans and narrative, incorporating these recommendations into the design would ensure the development is consistent with adopted plans. These recommendations have been written as conditions of the associated Conditional Use Permit.
To improve consistency with adopted plans, the following recommendations are advised:
-
Bicycle parking continue to be provided by covered bike racks which should be installed in a prominent location that is convenient for airport staff and away from congested areas for the traveling public. The rack(s) should be permanently affixed to the ground, building, or other permanent fixture, and they should be located so that parked bicycles do not encroach into a pedestrian walkway or vehicle area [the 2009 Juneau Non-Motorized Transportation Plan requires them to be compatible with locking the bike frame with a u-lock with two points of contact for a bicycle to lean against (i.e. a ‘staple’ or ‘loop and post’ design)].
-
The overall terminal building should have changing and showering facilities for Airport staff, as well as the staff of tenants leasing airport space, to use in order to provide an incentive to cycle to work.
-
The Airport integrates the Recycling, Reuse, and Waste Reduction Plan goals and initiatives into both the design and construction of the Phase 2 development. In particular, the design should incorporate recycling facilities in the terminal building including, but not limited to, the existing recycling receptacles that are placed throughout the terminal.
-
New CBJ buildings should aim to halve their energy use per square foot compared to existing buildings. Energy use targets for the overall terminal should ensure compliance with the intent of the Juneau Climate Action Implementation Plan.
-
All plumbing fixtures should meet a recognized water efficiency standard.
-
Any design should be capable of tracking energy and water use in the terminal. The Airport will use tenant meters if/where appropriate. Prior to issuance of a building permit, the Airport will describe the systems that will be installed to do such monitoring.
-
The Airport should continue to work with Capital Transit on improving transit facilities at the airport, such as providing a four-sided, lit, waiting facility that balances the needs of transit users and the operational requirements of Capital Transit.
