RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the use of a portion of the Mariposa Energy Project Community Benefits Fund to update the Byron Airport Chapter of the Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan as recommended by Supervisor Diane Burgis (District III).

FISCAL IMPACT:

There is no negative impact on the General Fund. The total cost for the update to the Byron Airport Chapter of the Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan is $49,250. This project is not eligible for FAA funding and the Mariposa Energy Project Community Benefits Fund will provide project funds. The Mariposa Community Benefit Fund was established to enhance and support the Byron Airport

BACKGROUND:

The Byron Airport (Airport) Master Plan, approved in 2005, identified a diversity of aviation and aviation-related land uses for the long term build-out of the Airport. To fully implement the Airport Master Plan, it was necessary to undertake a General Plan Amendment (GPA) process to provide consistency with and allow for the range of contemplated land uses. The GPA also requires an environmental analysis of the proposed changes before the amendment can be considered for approval.

This process was initiated by the Department of Conservation and Development, working in collaboration with the Airports, in December 2012. The GPA and environmental processes were estimated to have a project cost range of $90,000 to $250,000. On December 11, 2012, the Board approved using up to $250,000 of the Mariposa Community Benefit Fund for this GPA and related environmental processes.

The project cost estimate did not include updating, if so needed, the Byron Airport Chapter of the Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan (ALUCP). The intent was to bring any additional work items, such as updating the Byron Airport Chapter of the ALUCP, back to the Airport Committee and the Board of Supervisors for consideration at a later date if additional Mariposa Energy Community Benefits Funds were needed.

The consultants performing the GPA and environmental processes has determined that an update to the Byron Chapter of the ALUCP is necessary to make it consistent with the GPA and Airport Master Plan. The cost to update the Airport Chapter of ALUCP update is $49,250 and it is not eligible for Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) funding.

The Mariposa Energy Project Community Benefits Fund was established to enhance and support the Byron Airport. The proposed use of the Mariposa Community Benefit Fund to update the Byron Airport Chapter of the ALUCP was reviewed and approved by the Aviation Advisory Committee at their June 14, 2018 meeting.

On July 18, 2018, the Airport Committee approved forwarding the use of $49,250 of the Mariposa Community Benefit Funds to update the Byron Airport Chapter of the ALUCP to the full Board of Supervisors for their review and approval.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If the Airports Division is unable to proceed with an update to the Byron Airport Chapter of the ALUCP, it will be inconsistent with the Airport Master Plan and GPA which could cause the contemplated development opportunities not to be realized.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

None.
