111. REASONS FOR BECOMMENDATION)BACKGROUND:
The southwest development site is approximately 9 acres of land owned by the County and located south of
the County Airport offices as shown on the attached parcel page. The parcel is proximate to the Buchanan
Field runways and adjacent to other aviation uses.The parcel is designated for aviation use on theBuchanan
Field Master Plan.The parcel is under the jurisdiction of the Buchanan Field Airport and entirely within the
unincorporated County.
On August 16,2005,the Contra Costa County Public Works—Airports Division received a letter of interest
from a private party to develop the approximate 9 acre project on the subject site.The proposed development
concept included aviation uses such as various sizes of aircraft hangars and some office space.
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 County also
published a solicitation advertisement in the Contra Costa Times September 16,2005,edition to broaden the
solicitation of competitive interest.
The development solicitation letter and publication process provided a response deadline of October 7,2005,
for all competitive interests in the approximate 9 acre parcel to be submitted to the County Airport Office.
The County received five (5) additional letters of interest in developing this property.
Due to the strong development interest, Airport staffwill convene a Selection Committee, consisting of
County staff and representatives from the Airport businesses and surrounding neighborhood(members of the
Aviation Advisory Committee may fill these roles).The Selection Committee will assist Airport staff in the
review, interview (if deemed necessary) and selection of the preferred Master Developer. Upon selection,
Airport staff would negotiate ground lease and business terms for this development.
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.The proposed aviation development is consistent with the
existing Buchanan Field Airport Master Plan.Additionally,the proposed development is also consistent with
the analysis and needs assessment being performed for the updated Airport Master Plan.
IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Delay in approving the project 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.
