BACKGROUND/REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATIONS In 1986 the Public Works Department began a process to update the Buchanan Field Airport Master Plan and the Airport Access Plan. A consultant team was selected by the Departments of Public Works and Community Development and representatives of the Buchanan Field Aviation Advisory Committee to prepare the Master Plan and related environmental documents. In March 1988 a contract was granted to the firm of McClintock and Becker to develop a new Master P1 or the Airport under the Direction of the Airport Manager' s CONTINUED ON ATTACHMENT: YES SIGNATURE: RECOMMENDATION OF COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR RECOMMENDA=ft OF a3O OMMITTEE APPROVE OTHER SIGNATURE(S) : ACTION OF BOARD ON jUN 13 19B9 APPROVED AS RECOMMENDED OTHER _ VOTE OF SUPERVISORS I HEREBY CERTIFY THAT THIS IS A X UNANIMOUS (ABSENT ) TRUE AND CORRECT COPY OF AN AYES: NOES: ACTION TAKEN AND ENTERED ON THE ABSENT: ABSTAIN: MINUTES OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS ON THE DATE SHOWN. cc: Community Development ATTESTED JUN 13 7989 County Administrator PHIL BATCHELOR, CLERK OF County Counsel THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS Public Works AND CO 1TY ADMINISTRATOR General Services BY DEPUTY JWC:cg cjcl/buchnfld.bo On a separate path, the General Services Department has been responding to Board direction to review the Reynolds and Brown development agreement for a 13 acre parcel at John Glenn Drive and Concord Avenue. Questions on the safety and financial feasibility of the project have led to a need for the re-evaluation of the best use of this property. That review has led to the idea that a smaller scale mixed use project of retail and office might be appropriate. The Community Development Department is charged by the Board with administrator responsibility of the California Environmental Quality Act. They were requested by Public Works Department to provide assistance to that department on the processing on the environmental documents on this project. In reviewing the need for an Environmental Impact Report and the potential for change in the land use on the 13 acre parcel, the staffs of the three departments prepared an alternative land use element to be considered as part of the CEQA process to reflect mixed. office and commercial use on the 13 acre parcel and updated other parts of the plan to reflect the proposed Buchanan Field Airport Master Plan. That is done as part of the planning function of the Community Development Department. It is desirable to clarify the roles of the three departments to insure the project proceeds on an efficient schedule through adoption. The County Administrator' s Office has requested that the Community Development Department take - on a coordination role between the various County departments to insure that this process proceeds in a timely fashion. Staff will strive to meet the schedule shown on the attached page. This schedule is tight but can be fulfilled if County staff,- the consultant and the County Planning Commission act in a timely fashion.
