FROM: J. MICHAEL WALFORD, PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR
DATE: September 26, 1995
SUBJECT: APPROVE UPDATED BUCHANAN FIELD AIRPORT LAYOUT PLAN, CONCORD AREA
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. Recommended Action:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Chair of the Board of Supervisors to sign the updated Buchanan
Field Airport Layout Plan.
II. Financial lmpact:
No, immediate direct financial impact. A current Airport Layout Plan is required as a prerequisite to
federal funding.
III. Reasons for Recommendations and Background:
A current Airport Layout Plan is required for federal funding. If a capital improvement is desired but is
not shown on the current approved Airport Layout Plan, the project would not be eligible for a federal
grant. The proper land uses must also be identified on the current Airport Layout Plan.
The current plan submitted with this Board Order has numerous technical changes associated with it.
Most of these changes relate to projects that have now been completed in accordance with the earlier
approved plan. This plan also incorporates new buildings that have been constructed since the last
update.
There are two significant changes to this from the previous plan. In the southwest corner of the Airport
near Center Avenue and Marsh Drive, we had a fuel farm shown on the previous plan. The Airport
staff now feels that there is very little likelihood of needing a remote fuel farm as was shown on the
earlier plan. This fuel farm has been eliminated and the area has been expanded to accommodate
corporate and small business-type hangars.

APPROVE UPDATED BUCHANAN FIELD AIRPORT LAYOUT PLAN

The other significant change is in the Terminal Building area that is being reserved for eventual
airline facilities. To the north of this area, we have eliminated the planned parking for rental cars
and converted that back to corporate hangar sites. The Airport staff feels that if in the next twenty
years an airline terminal is constructed on the west side of the Airport, parking should still be
adequate for the level of service expected.
IV. Consequences of Negative Action:
As time progresses with the aging of the old approved Airport Layout Plan, funding and further
development of the Buchanan Field Airport would become more difficult.
