and located on the easterly side of the Buchanan Field Airport(see attached map). Approximately 3.4 acres
of the site is currently leased to Sterling Aviation for a fixed base operation. Sterling Aviation's lease

parcels are proximate to the Buchanan Field runways, adjacent to other aviation uses and designated for
aviation uses on the Buchanan Field Master Plan. The parcel is under the jurisdiction of the Buchanan Field
Airport and entirely within the unincorporated County.
In August 2006,the Airports Division received a letter of interest to redevelop the approximate 3.4 acres of the
existing leasehold interest plus develop an additional 2 acres to the immediate north of the leased site. The
proposed development concept includes a fixed base operator development plus office, restaurant, parking
garage and other related aviation uses on the total 5.4 acres on the west side of John Glenn Drive,just south of
the control tower.
In accordance with prior discussions with the Federal Aviation Administration's(FAA)Airports District Office
(ADO)regarding development at Buchanan Field Airport, the County notified existing commercial tenants at
Buchanan Field and Byron Airport to solicit other competitive interest in the additional 2 acres of property.
The development competitive solicitation process provided a response deadline of August 28, 2006, for all
competitive interests in the sites to be submitted to the County Airport Office. The County received no
additional letters of interest in developing the subject properties.
Negotiation of lease terms would expand economic development activity at the Buchanan Field Airport,
provide additional revenues to the Airport Enterprise Fund, and allow Contra Costa County to expand
aviation related business available at the airport. A business proposal must be consistent with the Airport
Master Plan and General Plan for consideration.
IV. Consequences of Negative Action:
Delay in approving the project will result in a delay of redeveloping underutilized land at Buchanan Field
Airport and may negatively impact the Airport Enterprise Fund and County General Fund.
