Subject:Contra Costa Airports--Authorization to Negotiate Ground Lease and Development Terms for 0.86 Acres of
County-Owned Land at the Buchanan Field Airport
BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)
party expressing an interest in developing an aviation use on the approximately 0.86 acre site.
In accordance with prior discussions with the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) Airports District Office
(ADO) regarding development at Buchanan Field, the County notified existing commercial tenants at Buchanan
Field and Byron Airport to solicit other competitive interest in the property. The development solicitation letter
provided a response deadline of August 10, 2015, for all competitive interests in the site to be submitted to the
County Airport Office. The County did not receive any additional letters of interest to develop this property.
Consistent with the master developer selection process that was approved by the Board of Supervisors on May 23,
2006, projects without a competitive interest are to proceed with the traditional environmental review and lease
development processes. The commercial development project will be presented to the Aviation Advisory
Committee, the Airport Committee, and any other party as deemed relevant to enhance community relations and
collaborative relationships.
Development of this 0.86 acre area for aviation use would expand economic development activity at Buchanan
Field Airport, provide additional revenues to the Airport Enterprise Fund, and allow Contra Costa County to
expand aviation-related business and services available at the airport. This development will also facilitate the
growth and development contemplated by the adopted Buchanan Field Airport Master Plan. A business proposal
must be consistent with the Airport Master Plan and General Plan for consideration.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Delay in initiating the developer selection process will result in a delay of developing vacant land at Buchanan
Field Airport and may negatively impact the Airport Enterprise Fund and County General Fund.
