AIRPORTS COMMITTEE 6. Meeting Date:08/12/2020   Subject:Discuss progress regarding the Byron Airport General Plan Amendment (Daniel Barrios, Department of Conservation and Development) Submitted For: Keith Freitas, Airports Director  Department:Airports Referral No.:   Referral Name: Presenter: Daniel Barrios, Department of Conservation and Development Contact: Beth Lee, (925) 681-4200 Referral History: The Byron Airport Master Plan, adopted in 2005, identified a diversity of aviation and airport-related land uses for the long-term build-out of the airport. To fully implement the Airport Master Plan, it is necessary to adopt a General Plan Amendment (GPA) to allow for the range of contemplated land uses. The GPA requires an environmental review pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). In December 2012 the Board of Supervisors authorized the Department of Conservation and Development (DCD) to initiate a GPA for Byron Airport, to be funded from the Mariposa Community Benefits Fund. DCD staff is overseeing the project in collaboration with Airports Division staff. In April 2015 DCD staff issued a Request for Proposals for the Byron Airport Development Program and CEQA analysis. Only two proposals were received, and only one was within the budget for the project as established at the time. That August the Board of Supervisors approved a $180,545 contract between Contra Costa County and Dudek, Inc., to prepare a development scenario for Byron Airport and the environmental impact report (EIR) for the GPA. At the April 2016 Airport Committee meeting there was a general discussion about the project. Staff and the Committee expressed dissatisfaction with the apparent lack of progress. In the weeks following the meeting, staff of DCD and Airports, and the consultant, had several discussions to determine why the environmental review was not proceeding as originally planned. The consultant indicated they were having difficulty formulating an acceptable project description, which forms the basis for the environmental review, because: The Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP) predates the 2005 Byron Airport Master Plan and does not accurately reflect proposed aviation activities and proposed non-aviation development. The ALUCP policies for Byron Airport are overly restrictive compared to those for Buchanan Airport and relative to current guidance per the California Airport Land Use Planning Handbook published by Caltrans. While ALUCPs generally do not apply to airports themselves, the 2005 Master Plan specifically states that the policies and regulations of the ALUCP are applicable to Byron Airport, thereby artificially limiting what can occur on the airport property. Staff and the consultant determined that the best way forward would be to expand the scope of the project to include updating portions of the ALUCP pertaining to Byron Airport. While this would extend the project timeline and increase cost, the final product would be consistent and compatible General Plan, zoning, ALUCP, and Master Plan documents for Byron Airport. On July 20, 2016, the Airport Committee reviewed the revised scope of work and directed staff to prepare a contract amendment for approval by the Board of Supervisors.  In March 2017 Dudek presented the Airport Committee with updated development scenarios for Byron Airport. In the months following the meeting, DCD and Airports staff worked to refine the project description. With the project description seemingly complete, in September 2017 DCD issued the Notice of Preparation (NOP), which formally began the EIR process. Also in September 2017, Airports staff began discussions with Caltrans regarding Byron Airport’s classification (i.e., rural versus suburban). This classification affects the allowable intensity of aviation and airport-related development, which in turn could impact the airport’s long-term economic viability. Classifying Byron as a suburban airport would be more consistent with its FAA designation as a reliever airport, and the long-term build-out as detailed in its Master Plan. However, Byron Airport is surrounded by undeveloped land that is outside the Urban Limit Line, giving the impression that the airport should be classified as rural. Dudek’s work on the DEIR slowed significantly while the airport classification issue was being resolved because the project’s impact in certain environmental topic areas (e.g., Traffic, Air Quality, Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Noise, Energy) could not be determined until the intensity of development was known.  In January 2018, Airports staff received a letter of interest from Mark Scott Construction, Inc., to develop and lease a light industrial project on the approximately 36.3 acres located generally northeast of the main runway. In March 2018, Dudek indicated that the administrative draft EIR (ADEIR) would be submitted for County staff’s review in June or July, and that completion of the Transportation section was delaying the submittal. Throughout 2018 the project was delayed by the traffic subconsultant’s inability to complete the traffic impact analysis (TIA) that forms the basis for the DEIR Transportation section. In May 2018, Dudek presented the draft ALUCP update materials to the Airport Land Use Commission. Following this meeting, the project description was again refined.  In August 2018, the Mark Scott proposal was expanded to potentially include an 11.67-acre private parcel located on Armstrong Road between airport property and the Byron-Bethany Irrigation District Canal. Because this private property was not part of the original EIR scope, it was necessary to perform additional environmental studies and revise several sections of the ADEIR (e.g., Aesthetics, Biological Resources, Cultural Resources, Hazardous Materials). The expansion also pushed the overall project over the threshold for requiring a water supply assessment (WSA) pursuant to Senate Bill 610. Ultimately, these revisions to the ADEIR and preparation of the WSA caused little-to-no delay because of the ongoing delay in preparing the traffic analysis.  On November 6, 2018, Dudek submitted the first TIA for staff’s review. The analysis assumed a substantial portion of future airport-related development might be commercial, which inflated the projected vehicle trip generation to an unrealistic level. The proposed mitigation measures, which included installation of traffic signals at several local intersections, construction of new turn pockets and lanes, and widening of nearby roads, were impractical and cost prohibitive. On December 13, 2018, Airports staff met with Dudek to again revise the project description so that a new, more realistic TIA could be prepared. On the same day, Dudek submitted the first few sections of the ADEIR for staff’s review. The remaining sections were submitted throughout January and into February 2019. Staff reviewed several sections of the ADEIR and found myriad problems including flawed analysis, portions copied and pasted from other EIRs, and numerous grammatical errors. Staff also reviewed the second TIA and determined it was woefully inadequate, in large part because it was not prepared in accordance with the Contra Costa Transportation Authority Technical Procedures. The ADEIR was so flawed that continued review was a drain on staff’s time. Dudek indicated it would prepare a second ADEIR responding to staff’s initial comments.  The second ADEIR was submitted in June 2019. Staff began its review and again found the sorts of problems that plagued the original ADEIR. Staff also reviewed the third TIA and found it to be flawed. DCD and Airports staff met with Dudek’s regional director, Steve Peterson, on August 4, 2019, to discuss the problems with the ADEIR and Dudek’s continued poor performance. Mr. Peterson requested that County staff complete its review of the ADEIR and guaranteed that the draft EIR (DEIR) would meet the County’s expectations.  On November 21, 2019, staff from DCD, Airports, and Transportation Engineering met with Dudek to review a proposed updated TIA that included additional study intersections. Following this meeting, Dudek submitted a revised technical memo to DCD and Transportation Engineering staff for review prior to beginning traffic counts at the proposed intersections. County staff has reviewed this memo and provided their comments to Dudek with direction to begin the traffic counts at the established locations. DCD staff continues to review the ADEIR concurrently with the TIA study. Referral Update: On May 26, 2020, Dudek submitted a revised technical memo to DCD and Transportation Engineering staff for review prior to beginning traffic counts at the proposed intersections that responded to County staff’s comments on the previous proposal. The proposal provided a revised plan for traffic counts to comply with CCTA requirements, included VMT analysis, and put forth a plan for covering the additional costs associated with the expanded scope of work. County staff has reviewed this memo and provided their comments to Dudek with guidance to move forward with the traffic analysis and a proposal for the additional cost. HCP staff has provided their comments on the Biology section of the ADEIR, and DCD staff continues to review the ADEIR concurrently. Staff acknowledges that Dudek has put considerable effort into correcting the problems that plagued previous versions of the ADEIR and TIA, and the current ADEIR shows much improvement overall compared to previous drafts. Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s): Discuss progress regarding the Byron Airport Development Program. Staff continues to review the ADEIR. The timeframe for completion of the DEIR is unknown. The next step after completion of the DEIR will be the public review period, which will last from 45-60 days. Fiscal Impact (if any): As amended, the contract with Dudek is for $272,586, to be paid out of the Mariposa Community As amended, the contract with Dudek is for $272,586, to be paid out of the Mariposa Community Benefits Fund. This figure does not include County staff costs associated with the project.

During the months of March, April, May and June the aircraft operations averaged only 100 aircraft operations per day. However, Buchanan Field has seen a significant return in aircraft operations in the month of July, averaging approximately 200 per day. This increase is largely due to the reopening of the flight schools at Buchanan Field and in the area. Byron Airport which typically experiences 5,000 aircraft operations a month and averages approximately 160 operations per day experienced only a slight reduction in their operations. This was mostly due to the fact that Byron Airport is a common flight training location for many pilots throughout the Bay Area. Many certified pilots continued to maintain their flight currency requirements during the pandemic and used Byron Airport for these flights. JSX scheduled charter was averaging 3,253 total passengers per month for January and February. However, due to the pandemic they had the following total passenger counts:  March 1,384 April 92 May 294 June 410 Most of the commercial airlines in the United states have been operating at 5% of normal operations for the months of March through June. The commercial airlines are now operating at approximately 25% of normal and projections are that it will be at least 2 years until they return to 2019 operating numbers.  Current projects are that the Airport Enterprise Fund will meet their budgeted FY 2019/20 targets for both revenues and expenses, ending with a small budget surplus. This positive economic news is a result of the fact that the Airport Enterprise Fund is a diverse government business enterprise that has mature aviation and non-aviation revenues sources. Additionally, the FAA provided the Airport Enterprise Fund with a $1,123,000 CARE Act grant that offset approximately 40% of the annual salary expenses of the fifteen Airports Division staff that were deem a critical infrastructure and essential services. Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s): The Airports Division staff will continue to research, market, attract and retain aviation and non-aviation business opportunities. Airport staff will continue to watch how the various markets react to the continued COVID-19 pandemic and make appropriate adjustments. Fiscal Impact (if any): There is no expected impact to the County General Funds. The Airport Enterprise Fund revenues are projected to be slightly (5%) lower in FY 2020/21.

Meeting Date:08/12/2020   Subject:Discuss Runway 14L/32R Pavement Replacement Project, Buchanan Field Airport Submitted For: Keith Freitas, Airports Director  Department:Airports Referral No.:   Referral Name: Presenter: Contact: Beth Lee, (925) 681-4200 Referral History: In December of 2016, the Board authorized the Director of Airports to submit applications and accept Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and California Department of Transportation grants related to Runway 14L/32R pavement reconstruction. In August of 2017 the FAA and California Department of Transportation awarded a grant for approximately $261,000 to the County to complete the design and engineering portion of the Runway 14L/32R pavement reconstruction project. The design of the project is now winding down and a construction bid package is expected to be advertised in early 2019. In September of 2018, Airport staff submitted an application for approximately $3,800,000 to complete the construction portion of the project. Due to requested changes to the design of the project, the construction bid package costs came in significantly higher than the estimate. The FAA agreed to fund the increased costs of approximately $5,300,000 for the construction project. The winner bidder has been selected and the Airports Division is waiting for the final documentation from the FAA. The project is projected was scheduled to start when the weather cleared in early 2020. Referral Update: The final documentation was received from the FAA and the project started in late May due to COVID-19 related delays. Phase 1 repaving of the west side of the runway is completed. Phase 2 repaving of the east side started on June 30th and is expected to be completed by early August. Phase 3 consists of night work and will require full closure of the Airport from 10 pm to 7 am. Project appears to be under budget at this time and has made up some of the delays including by having the final phase work already substantially completed. The Airport has submitted and received the first reimbursement from the FAA for the project. Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s): The Contractor will continue to finish Phase 2 with an expected move into Phase 3 approximately The Contractor will continue to finish Phase 2 with an expected move into Phase 3 approximately mid-August. The expected completion of the project is September 25 th. Fiscal Impact (if any): There will be no County General Funds expended on this project. The total project cost is estimated to be $5,800,000 with $5,300,000 being funded by FAA. The remaining funding will be shared by the California Department of Transportation and the Airport Enterprise Fund.

Meeting Date:08/12/2020   Subject:Discuss 4.6-acre development, Buchanan Field  Submitted For: Keith Freitas, Airports Director  Department:Airports Referral No.:   Referral Name: Presenter: Contact: Beth Lee, (925) 681-4200 Referral History: The development site is approximately 4.6 acres of land owned by the County and located on the northwest corner of Marsh Drive and Solano Way on the north side of Buchanan Field Airport. The parcel is commonly referred to as “Parcel C” and is designated for non-aviation use on the Buchanan Field Master Plan. The parcel is partially (approximately 20%) within the unincorporated County and the balance (approximately 80%) is within the City of Concord. As such, on July 20, 2016, the Board approved an agreement between Contra Costa County and the City of Concord regarding the entitlement process for development of this parcel and the apportionment of tax revenues. On December 6, 2016, the Board authorized Airports Staff to negotiate lease terms with another entity. Unfortunately, the other entity was unable to proceed with its proposed development and they withdrew its development interest on March 9, 2018. On March 13, 2018, the Contra Costa County Public Works – Airports Division proactively solicited and advertised for development interest in the 4.6-acre site. The competitive solicitation process was consistent with the FAA Airports District Office’s guidance for airport property use. The Airports Division received seven (7) letters of interest from private parties to develop the subject site. On April 16, 2018, Airports Division staff distributed a RFP to select a master developer to the seven interested parties. The proposals and a $25,000 development deposit were due on May 25, 2018. The Airports Division received two complete proposals, one from Montecito Commercial Group, LLC and a joint proposal from StoragePRO, Inc. and the Deutscher Properties Corporation. A Selection Committee comprised of Airports Division staff, a member of the Aviation Advisory Committee, and a City of Concord staff member was convened to review and rank the two proposals. The ranking outcome was the proposal submitted by StoragePRO, Inc. and Deutscher Properties Corporation was unanimously ranked first and the proposal Montecito Commercial Group, LLC was ranked second. They have been meeting with the City of Concord to proceed Group, LLC was ranked second. They have been meeting with the City of Concord to proceed through the environmental process. On June 26, 2018, the Board authorized County staff to negotiate a lease and development terms with the respondents in ranked order.  Development of this 4.6-acre vacant parcel for commercial use would expand economic development activity at Buchanan Field Airport and lead to increased revenues for the Airport Enterprise Fund. This development will also facilitate the growth and development as identified in the adopted Buchanan Field Airport Master Plan. A business proposal must be consistent with the Airport Master Plan and General Plan for consideration. The Claremont Companies, LLC has replaced StoragePRO, Inc. in the development partnership with Deutscher Properties Corporation. Referral Update: Geotechnical work has been performed on the site. The project site plan, design, landscaping, and other development application components are underway. The team submitted a development application to the City of Concord in October 2019, and the application is proceeding through the entitlement process County staff has negotiated lease and development terms with the development team. The project has been reviewed and approved by the City of Concord’s Design Review Board and is scheduled before the City’s Planning Commission in September 2020. The lease has been drafted and is being reviewed by the development team. The lease will be scheduled for the Board of Supervisor’s review and approval when the City planning process is nearing completion which is anticipated to be by late fall 2020.

Meeting Date:08/12/2020   Subject:Discuss relocation of Confire Station 9 to Airport property, Buchanan Field Submitted For: Keith Freitas, Airports Director  Department:Airports Referral No.:   Referral Name: Presenter: Contact: Beth Lee, (925) 681-4200 Referral History: ConFire has identified a preferred location to relocate Fire Station 9 which is an approximate 3-acre site of land located generally east/northeast of the Center and Willow Street intersection on the west side of Buchanan Field Airport. The project would also include an aircraft hangar. The desired location of the fire station is designated for non-aviation use and the hangar location is designated for aviation use on the adopted Airport Master Plan. CEQA analysis of the site is currently underway. Referral Update: On October 8, 2019, the Board authorized Airports Staff to negotiate lease and development terms for 3-acres of County owned land at Buchanan Field Airport. The Buchanan Field Flood Report update is nearing completion which will provide the mitigation options for projects located along the drainage ditch on the west side of the airport. This project is located in the Flood Report impacted area. Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s): Discuss the proposed relocation of Confire Station 9 to Airport property, Buchanan Field. This is a general discussion about the status of the proposed project. Fiscal Impact (if any): None. Attachments No file(s) attached. AIRPORTS COMMITTEE 15. c. Meeting Date:08/12/2020   Subject:Discuss Development of 16-acres non-aeronautical use, Buchanan Field Submitted For: Keith Freitas, Airports Director  Department:Airports Referral No.:   Referral Name: Presenter: Contact: Beth Lee, (925) 681-4200 Referral History: FAA forecasts are used to determine long-term demand for aviation facilities and the amount of land needed for those facilities. The land denoted for aviation use on an airport layout plan (ALP) correlates to the long-term aviation facility needs. The existing ALP shows the approximate 16-acres of vacant land on the northeast of Marsh Drive and Sally Ride Drive (generally across from the Airports Division office) for aviation use. In order for that land to be used for aviation facilities, a taxilane would need to be extended from the airfield. Further, that taxilane would cross Sally Ride Drive causing it to be severed. Thus, a new second connection to Marsh Drive would be required on the north end so that tenants can continue to access their hangars/buildings once the taxilane is installed. These combined improvements would be very expensive which would likely cause the land to remain vacant and unproductive. The current forecasts for the ALP update indicate there is substantially more land currently reserved for aviation uses than needed to meet future demand. This, combined with the high cost to connect this property to the airfield, make the 16-acres economically infeasible for aviation use. As such, it was determined that this land should be released for non-aviation use. County staff discussed the findings the FAA Airport District Office staff and they conceptually agreed with the approach and suggested that a land release request package be prepared in order for them to make a determination. The cost to prepare a documented categorical exclusion (CATEX) is approximately $122,000. It is possible that an Environmental Assessment may be required if there are identified critical items during the preparation of the CATEX or if the FAA determines that a higher level NEPA evaluation is necessary. Subsequently, the Airports Division received a letter of interest to develop this property for non-aviation use. A competitive solicitation process commenced, and the County did not receive any competitive interest. On December 4, 2018, the Board authorized negotiations for a ground lease and development terms with the Montecito Development Company, LLC for the approximate 16-acres. Completion of the FAA release of the 16-acres for non-aeronautical use is required before a lease can be executed. An Exclusive Negotiating Agreement (ENA) between Montecito Development Company and the County was reviewed by the Board at their May 7, 2019 meeting. The ENA is necessary for the development team to identify potential tenant(s) and to feel confident in proceeding with all of the review processes, including Federal NEPA environmental review, necessary to complete the FAA process for the release of the land for non-aviation uses. It will also enable the parties to proceed with the land use entitlement process and the CEQA process, as mandated by State law. Referral Update: On June 18, 2019, the FAA sent written confirmation of their intent to release the airport property for non-aeronautical use. The final FAA approval of the land release request will be based on successful completion and review of the formal land release package submittal by the County. On September 9, 2019, FAA staff found a copy of a letter that released the land for non-aviation use dated October 18, 1982, and FAA staff confirmed that this past action is still applicable. County staff is in process of negotiating lease and development terms with Montecito Development Company team. The Buchanan Field Flood Report update is nearing completion which will provide the mitigation options for this project as it located along the drainage ditch on the west side of the airport. Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s): Discuss the 16-acre development, Buchanan Field. This is a general discussion about the status of the proposed project. Fiscal Impact (if any): The Airport Enterprise Fund will no longer need to be used to cover the additional land release project expenses. Attachments No file(s) attached. AIRPORTS COMMITTEE 15. d.
