Scottsdale Airport
Master Plan and
AGIS Survey

Our team initially began serving the City of Scottsdale in 1985 by conducting a new airport master plan and Part 150 noise study. The rapid growth of the Phoenix/Scottsdale area has resulted in several updates to the airport master plan and the Part 150 noise study as the City continuously addresses increased corporate jet and helicopter activity, as well as land use compatibility issues.

In the past three decades, the airport has expanded its runway from 4,800’ to 8,249’, regularly serving large corporate aircraft with “through-the-fence” access to the adjacent 2,500-acre industrial airpark. Our team completed a third master plan for the airport in 2015, and is currently working on a fourth master plan update. In response to the FAA’s Runway Safety Area Program, a detailed review of the airport’s runway safety areas was conducted, resulting in several recommended changes and improvements. Airport property was also evaluated for landside redevelopment enhancements. Recommendations from this master plan included:

• Additional aircraft hangars in existing development areas
• Redevelopment of the terminal area
• Dedicated vehicle parking for new and existing hangars
• Construction of aviation support facilities (airport operations center, self-service fuel facility, and aircraft maintenance bay)
• Identification of various land parcels adjacent to airport property for potential future airport development
