SANTA BARBARA MUNICIPAL AIRPORT

MINIMUM STANDARD REQUIREMENTS

Article 1. Introduction

The City of Santa Barbara (“City”) is the owner and operator of the Santa Barbara

Municipal Airport (“Airport”) . The City’s Airport Department is responsible for the

Airport’s management and administration, which includes operation, maintenance,

and capital improvement of aviation buildings and facilities on the Airport property.

The Federal Aviation Administration (“FAA”) places the responsibility with the

Airport operator to ensure that adequate aeronautical services and facilities are

available on a fair and reasonable basis to all aviation users.

To encourage the safe and orderly development of the Airport and its operation,

the FAA recommends that minimum standards for commercial aeronautical

activities be developed. Airport minimum standards establish the minimum

requirements to be met by an Entity as a condition for the privilege to conduct an

Aeronautical Activity or provide a Commercial Aeronautical Service at the Airport.

The benefits of establishing minimum standards include:

 Promoting safety in all Airport activities;

 Maintaining and enhancing the availability of adequate services for all

Airport users;

 Protecting Airport users from unlicensed and unauthorized products and

services; and

 Promoting the orderly development of Airport property.

The requirements in this policy are minimums. All Entities are encouraged to

exceed such minimums.

Section 1-1. Applicability

Pursuant to the City of Santa Barbara Municipal Code (“Municipal Code”), no

person shall conduct any commercial activity or otherwise transact business on

the Airport without first obtaining the authorization required under Title 18 of the

Municipal Code.

These Minimum Standards shall apply to all Aeronautical Activity providers, with

the exceptions noted below. These Minimum Standards do not apply to:

 The conduct of a Proprietary Aeronautical Activity by the City;

 Certificated Air Carriers providing scheduled passenger service and/or

cargo service operating under a separate lease and/or agreement with the

Airport;

 Non-aeronautical commercial service providers such as restaurants, rental

cars, concessions, taxis, airport shuttles, etc., located on or otherwise

serving the Airport;

 Non-commercial Airport tenants, including private aircraft owners and

operators operating under 14 CFR Part 91, except as noted below;

 Aircraft operators that are not based at the Airport but that use the Airport

on a transient or itinerant basis and comply with all applicable rules,

regulations, and procedures.

These Minimum Standards are not intended to be all-inclusive; aeronautical

service providers are also subject to all applicable federal, state, county, and City

laws, codes, ordinances, rules, and regulations, including the rules and regulations

promulgated by the City, as may be amended from time to time.

The provisions of the Minimum Standards herein contained do not supersede any

federal, state, or local law, code, ordinance, or regulation; Airport operating rules

and regulations; or lease, permit, or agreement entered into with the Airport or the

City. It is intended that the Minimum Standards be consistent with all applicable

laws, ordinances, codes, rules, and regulations. In the event of any difference

between the Minimum Standards and other applicable laws, ordinances, rules,

regulations, agreements, etc., the Airport reserves the right to amend the Minimum

Standards as necessary to ensure consistency.

These Minimum Standards and all agreements authorizing the use of the Airport

for an Aeronautical Activity are subordinate and subject to the provisions of any

agreement between the City and the United States Government relative to the

operation and maintenance of the Airport, the execution of which has been, or may

in the future be, required as a condition precedent to the transfer of federal funds

or property to the City for Airport purposes, or the expenditure of federal funds for

the development of the Airport.

The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of these Minimum Standards

shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of these Minimum

Standards, and the remainder shall be construed and enforced as if the invalid or

unenforceable provision were not included in the Minimum Standards.

These Minimum Standards have been developed in accordance with the current

versions of FAA Advisory Circular 150/5190-7, Minimum Standards for

Commercial Aeronautical Activities and FAA Advisory Circular 150/5190-6,

Exclusive Rights at Federally-Obligated Airports.

Article 8. Independent Operators

The City recognizes that Airport users may periodically require specialized

assistance with the maintenance of their aircraft and/or Flight Training. When such

assistance is not reasonably available on the Airport through an existing

Commercial Operator with a Fixed Place of Business, because of the specialized

nature of the maintenance and/or the Flight Training requirements or other factors,

the City may allow an Airport user to solicit and utilize the services of a qualified

Entity not presently based at the Airport (an “Independent Operator”) to provide

said services in accordance with the provisions of this Article.

Application Procedure

An Airport user requiring the services of an Independent Operator must submit a

request to the Airport Director on behalf of the potential Independent Operator in

the form and manner prescribed by the Airport Director.

If the Airport Director determines that the requested services are not available at

the Airport through an existing Commercial Operator with a Fixed Place of

Business, the Airport Director will invite the potential Independent Operator to

submit an application pursuant to Section 3-3 hereof. If the proposed Independent

Operator satisfies all applicable Minimum Standards, the Airport Director shall

issue a permit to the Independent Operator authorizing it to conduct specified

Commercial Aeronautical Activities on such terms and conditions as the Airport

Director may require.

The duration of a permit will typically be thirty (30) days but, in the Airport Director’s

discretion, may be issued for a duration of up to one (1) year based on

demonstrated need and the likelihood that the service required of an Independent

Operator will be provided by a Commercial Operator with a Fixed Place of

Business at the Airport during the term of the permit.

Services without establishing a Fixed Place of Business on the Airport only upon

executing a written permit issued by the Airport Director. Such Commercial

Aeronautical Services may include, but are not limited to Independent Flight

Training Operators, Independent Aircraft Maintenance Operators, Independent
