1.3 Acres of County-Owned Land at the Buchanan Field Airport, Pacheco Area

III. Reasons for Recommendations and Background:
Area 1, or Sally Ride West Development, is a 1.3 acre parcel of land owned by the County and located
on the westerly side of Sally Ride Drive and north of the County Airport Administrative office, as shown
on the attached parcel page. The parcel is adjacent to the Buchanan Field runways and is designated for
aviation use on the Buchanan Field Master Flan. The parcel is under the jurisdiction of the Buchanan
Field Airport and entirely within the unincorporated County.
Can March 29, 2004, the Contra Costa County Public Works --Airports Division received a letter of intent
from a private party to develop the Area 1 project on the subject site. The proposed development included
approximately 37,500 square feet of aircraft hangar space and 1.750 square feet of office and storage space.
The letter of interest did not include business elements necessary to solicit additional development interest.
On April 19,2004,Airport staff received a secondary letter of interest that contained more specific business
information for the proposed.project.
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 and San Francisco Chronicle, business
section in the Sunday editions on May 9, 2004,to broaden the solicitation of competitive interest.
The development solicitation letter and publication process provided a response deadline of June 5,2004,for
all competitive interests in Area 1 to be submitted to the County Airport Office. The County received no
additional letters of interest in developing the Area 1 property.
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 expand aviation
related business available at the airport. A business proposal must be consistent with the Airport Master
Plan and General Plan for consideration.
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.
