This briefing offers a menu of potential future activities for the nonaviation lands at Santa Monica Municipal Airport (SMO) to meet the following objectives for enhancing the quality of life in Santa Monica: Integrate the airport's future with the dynamic changes under way in Santa Monica, develop concepts for nonaviation airport land that emerge from the community, enhance the city's strong position as an environmental trend setter and engine of creativity, and honor the rich history of aviation in Santa Monica and Southern California. The briefing recommends that the airport upgrade access and improve circulation; reuse and improve existing buildings; enhance retail activity; expand the Museum of Flying, outdoor athletic and recreation opportunities, and the presence of the arts; develop a Sustainable Santa Monica Center; create an emergency communications and control center; and develop an economic incubator. It could accomplish these goals by partnering with colleges and universities, enhancing public and corporate economic development efforts, cooperating with regional and local transportation agencies, and complementing the Sustainable Santa Monica initiative. |
