I On March 7, 2006, the Contra Costa County Public Works—Airports Division received a letter of interest from a private party to develop the I approximately 11 acre project on the subject site. The proposed development concept included aviation uses such as various sizes of aircraft hangars and some public use and office space. I In accordance with prior discussions with the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) Airports District Office(ADO)regarding developmentlat Buchanan Field,the County notified existing commercial tenants at Buchanan Field and Byron Airport to solicit other competitive interest in the property. The development solicitation letter and publication process provided a response deadline of April 3,2006,for all competitive interests in the approximate 11 acre parcel to be submitted to the County Airport Office. The County received three (3) additional letters of interest in developing this property. Airport staff will replicate the master,developer selection process that was used for the 9 acre parcel and was subsequently approved by the Board of Supervisors on May 23, 2006. For projects where there is competitive interest, a similar process to the one used for the 9 acre Master Developer selection will be utilized as follows: (1) request for project information submittals and development deposit; (2) convene i a master developer selection committee; (3) review, interview and rank the proposals; (4) seek Board approval of ranking order and authorization to negotiate lease terms; (5) facilitate meetings between project developer and stakeholders; and (6) seek Board approval of final lease. The environmental review process proceeds on a parallel path and would be scheduled for Board approval either before, or concurrently with, lease approval. For projects without a competitive interest, projects will proceed with the traditional environmental review land lease development processes (all but the first three steps of competitive interest process). All projects will be presented to the Aviation Advisory Committee, neighbors and/or other interested stakeholders/parties as deemed relative to enhance community relations and collaborative relationships. I If competitive interest remains after submittal of the development deposit and added project information, then a Selection Committee will be convened. The Selection Committee would consist of County staff and representatives from the Airport I 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 will request Board approval of the preferred Master Developer and authorize negotiations for development ground lease and business terms. I Development of the 11 acre parcel would expand economic development activity at the Buchanan Field Airport, and lead to increased revenues to the Airport Enterprise Fund and expand aviation related business available at the airport. A business proposal must be consistent with the Airport Master Plan and General Plan for consideration. l I IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION: Delay in initiating the developer selection process 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.
