Referral History:
Discuss 36-acre Non-Aviation Development Project, Byron Airport

On April 24, 2018, the Board authorized staff to negotiate a ground lease and development terms for approximately 36-acres of County owned land at the Byron Airport. The proposed use was for a compatible non-aviation development on land described for non-aviation use in the Byron Airport Master Plan (Airport Master Plan). This land, however, was not formally released for non-aeronautical use by the FAA. A land release request package must be prepared in order for the FAA to make a determination. As the requested action could result in a change to the Airport Master Plan, the land release request package must comply with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). NEPA review will include preparation of a documented categorical exclusion (CATEX), It is possible that an Environmental Assessment may be required if there are identified critical items during the preparation of the CATEX or if the FAA determines that a higher level NEPA evaluation is necessary. Completion of the GPA process and FAA release of the 36-acres for non-aeronautical use is required before a lease can be executed.
Referral Update:
The County submitted a preliminary land release request and documentation to the FAA. The County has requested the FAA review the preliminary documentation and then issue a letter of intent to release the property for non-aeronautical use. The formal land release request package is being prepared which, if approved by the FAA, will allow for non-aeronautical use of the property.
Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s):
Discuss the 36-acre non-aviation development project, Byron Airport. This is a general discussion about the status of the 36-acre non-aviation development project at the Byron Airport.
Fiscal Impact (if any):
To date, $284,423 has been allocated from the Mariposa Community Benefit Fund for the GPA process
