Who directs the development of Sonoma County Airport?
The County, as the owner and proprietor of the Sonoma County Airport, determines how STS will be developed. The FAA provides guidance in order to ensure that proposed airport facilities meet important safety standards. Does the draft Airport Master Plan update forecast greater levels of activity than the forecasts that were used for the General Plan Air Transportation Element (ATE) or the Sonoma County Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP)? No. The draft Master Plan actually forecasts lower numbers of based aircraft, lower levels of aircraft operations, and lower numbers of passengers than the forecasts that were used for the ATE and the CLUP.
