KANDEL Staff Writer BURBANK - Seeking to contain criticism from residents opposed to expanding Bob Hope Airport Bob Hope Airport (IATA: BUR, ICAO: KBUR, FAA LID: BUR) is a regional and national airport located in Burbank, California, United States. It was formerly known as United Airport (1930-1934); Union Air Terminal (1934-1940); , officials have withdrawn their request to use part of a 41-acre site for a parking lot. Airport Commissioner Chris Holden sent a letter April 18 to Burbank officials withdrawing a suggestion to amend an agreement that limits the use of the so-called Southwest Quadrant quadrant, in analytic geometry quadrant. 1 In analytic geometry, one of the four regions of the plane determined by two lines, the x-axis and the y-axis. for parking. In an interview, Holden said the commission made the decision after realizing it would take too long to make any changes for an expected parking crunch this summer, and also feared it would ignite long-simmering tensions over airport growth. "We certainly don't want to throw kerosene kerosene or kerosine, colorless, thin mineral oil whose density is between 0.75 and 0.85 grams per cubic centimeter. A mixture of hydrocarbons, it is commonly obtained in the fractional distillation of petroleum as the portion boiling off on a fire," said Holden, who is also a Pasadena City Councilman. "Certainly, it is a sensitive point. Certainly, we're trying to find the path of least resistance Noun 1. path of least resistance - the easiest way; "In marrying him she simply took the path of least resistance" line of least resistance fashion - characteristic or habitual practice ." Howard Rothenbach, the founder and chairman of the grass-roots Committee to Restore Our Airport Rights, which has fought expansion efforts for years, was pleased with the change of heart. "I think they knew they were starting a firestorm fire·storm n. 1. A fire of great size and intensity that generates and is fed by strong inrushing winds from all sides: the firestorm that leveled Hiroshima after the atomic blast. 2. ," he said. "I think they will try to find ways around it, though. Whether or not the public finds those solutions acceptable or not remains to be seen. "Anything that would be construed as an expansion we will be pressing for a vote of the people." Holden said the commission will pursue other alternatives off airport property and is considering hiring a consultant. The parking issue could come up again at the commission's next meeting May 1.

"If they have something that perhaps we could help them with I'm sure they would ask us," Barlow said. Officials were eyeing the Southwest Quadrant, which is at the airport off Empire Avenue, for parking, because it is close to the existing passenger terminal and would help maintain the airport's user-friendly reputation. jason.kandel(at)dailynews.com (818) 546-3306 |
