Narrative:

Aircraft #1 was given a taxi clearance to runway 23 after he reported his position was at FBO-1. FBO-1 is an FBO at ZZZ airport. It is located on the east side of the airfield. The approach end of runway 23 is also located on the northeast end of the field. There are no other runways to cross between FBO-1 and runway 23. Taxiway east parallels the ramp area that leads into FBO-1 and is the taxiway that leads to the approach end of runway 23. Another aircraft that was given taxi instructions from FBO-1 to runway 23, was instructed to follow aircraft #1 (LR35) to runway 23. At this time aircraft #1 indicated he was on the west side of the airport. Aircraft #1 was instructed immediately to 'hold short of runway 19 at taxiway H.' aircraft #1 was observed just entering onto taxiway H. However, there was another learjet (aircraft #2) departing runway 19. Because of aircraft #1's erroneous position report and because of the ZZZ airport's management failure to take action on the following, the potential exists for a catastrophe. There was no loss of separation this time, but I believe the potential exists everyday! FBO-1 is an FBO on the east side of cak airport. This is usually referred to as FBO east. This is because at one time, FBO-1 was also located on the wnw side of the field. This one no longer exists. The FBO on the west side now is 'FBO-2.' it is my understanding aircraft using 'FBO-2' are instructed to say 'FBO-2' when asked their position and there are also signs instructing them also. However, it is my understanding there are signs with 'FBO-1' on them, still in view on the west side. These 'old' signs mislead pilots as to their position and as in the case be given wrong taxi instructions.

Title: ZZZ DEVELOPMENTAL CTLR RECOGNIZES TAXIING ACFT HAS RPTED TAXIING FROM AN INCORRECTLY IDENTED ARPT FBO AND CORRECTS CLRNC TO HOLD SHORT OF RWY FOR DEPARTING TFC.

Narrative: ACFT #1 WAS GIVEN A TAXI CLRNC TO RWY 23 AFTER HE RPTED HIS POS WAS AT FBO-1. FBO-1 IS AN FBO AT ZZZ ARPT. IT IS LOCATED ON THE E SIDE OF THE AIRFIELD. THE APCH END OF RWY 23 IS ALSO LOCATED ON THE NE END OF THE FIELD. THERE ARE NO OTHER RWYS TO CROSS BTWN FBO-1 AND RWY 23. TXWY E PARALLELS THE RAMP AREA THAT LEADS INTO FBO-1 AND IS THE TXWY THAT LEADS TO THE APCH END OF RWY 23. ANOTHER ACFT THAT WAS GIVEN TAXI INSTRUCTIONS FROM FBO-1 TO RWY 23, WAS INSTRUCTED TO FOLLOW ACFT #1 (LR35) TO RWY 23. AT THIS TIME ACFT #1 INDICATED HE WAS ON THE W SIDE OF THE ARPT. ACFT #1 WAS INSTRUCTED IMMEDIATELY TO 'HOLD SHORT OF RWY 19 AT TXWY H.' ACFT #1 WAS OBSERVED JUST ENTERING ONTO TXWY H. HOWEVER, THERE WAS ANOTHER LEARJET (ACFT #2) DEPARTING RWY 19. BECAUSE OF ACFT #1'S ERRONEOUS POS RPT AND BECAUSE OF THE ZZZ ARPT'S MGMNT FAILURE TO TAKE ACTION ON THE FOLLOWING, THE POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR A CATASTROPHE. THERE WAS NO LOSS OF SEPARATION THIS TIME, BUT I BELIEVE THE POTENTIAL EXISTS EVERYDAY! FBO-1 IS AN FBO ON THE E SIDE OF CAK ARPT. THIS IS USUALLY REFERRED TO AS FBO E. THIS IS BECAUSE AT ONE TIME, FBO-1 WAS ALSO LOCATED ON THE WNW SIDE OF THE FIELD. THIS ONE NO LONGER EXISTS. THE FBO ON THE W SIDE NOW IS 'FBO-2.' IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING ACFT USING 'FBO-2' ARE INSTRUCTED TO SAY 'FBO-2' WHEN ASKED THEIR POS AND THERE ARE ALSO SIGNS INSTRUCTING THEM ALSO. HOWEVER, IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THERE ARE SIGNS WITH 'FBO-1' ON THEM, STILL IN VIEW ON THE W SIDE. THESE 'OLD' SIGNS MISLEAD PLTS AS TO THEIR POS AND AS IN THE CASE BE GIVEN WRONG TAXI INSTRUCTIONS.
