Unless the adjacent "New Development Area" is going to include parking, the majority of airport parking remains on the south-west corner of the property, on the other side of the runways from the terminal. I realize that these are conceptual plans and very likely to change if and when the project ever goes ahead.
I don’t think there’s anywhere else to put a new terminal other than in that quadrant. The existing terminal area is too built up and constrained by the runways and taxiways.
The current value parking is already shuttle serviced, so not that much worse to have drive further down fountain.
And it looks like just north of the new terminal they’ll have parking, so I expect a premium/value combination similar to what they have now.
This setup also leads itself well to separating the commercial airlines traffic from the GA/charter/aviation business side. Which is a nice benefit.
