BOARD OF SUPERVISORS Contra FROM: Sunne Wright McPeak Costa DATE: October 17, 1989 Count SUBJECT: , Draft Airport Master Plan and Environmental Impact Report SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION RECOMMENDATION Refer to the County Administrator, Public Works Director, Airports Manager, Aviation Advisory Committee and Planning Commission the following items for consideration in their course of -review and deliberation on the Draft Airport Master Plan and Environmental Impact Report: 1. Adopt a strict policy for aviation development and/or activity at Buchanan Field based on the adopted Noise Abatement Ordinance and FAR Part 150 Airport Noise Comptability Program such that: regardless of the maximum number of planes allowed to be based at Buchanan Field, no more planes or activity shall be allowed if it will exceed the noise contours projected in the FAR Part 150 study for the year 2010 . If adopted, this policy will assure that the airport will operate within the noise study projections and, therefore, the public will know exactly what will happen in the future. The noise levels will become the controlling factor on aviation development at Buchanan Field. The effect of this policy would be to limit the number of planes based at Buchanan or constrict scheduled commuter service if the overall aviation activity (number of" operations) will exceed the adopted noise level contours. For example, if the maximum number of planes to be based at Buchanan Field remains at 850, but the projected noise contours are reached with 750 planes, then the total number of planes that could be based at the airport would be 750 . 2. Consider reducing the maximum number of planes that can be based at Buchanan Field from 850 to 750-800 . 3 . Restrict the number of planes that can be based at Buchanan Field to no more than 700 until the complete noise monitoring system has been installed and is operational for at least six months.

Consider retaining the airport terminal on the east side of Buchanan Field in order to use the west side for more non-aviation activity and amend the Master Plan to provide for either location. The Draft Master Plan consultant has concluded that the current Airline Access Plan and aviation needs of Buchanan Field can be served by a terminal on either side of the airport. 5. Prohibit any relocation of the terminal from the east side to the west side until a complete marketing effort (including a solicitation of proposals from the private sector for projects) has been completed for the 20+ acres on the west side and the Board of Supervisors defines the appropriate parcel size for non-aviation use. It is important that the Board of Supervisors pursue options for maximizing revenue to the county before precluding those possibilities by deciding to move the terminal to the west side and unnecessarily limiting the amount of property available for non- aviation uses. 6. Consider moving all helicopter training flights from Buchanan Field to Byron Airport or another location and adopt a timetable for accomplishing this. 7 . Provide for increased security at Buchanan Field and incorporate this into the Master Plan. 8. Prohibit any continued outside use of the southwest portion of Buchanan Field when the current lease expires for the golf course until the necessary CEQA compliance has been certified and the right-of-way for Diamond Boulevard has been secured.
