Information

Referral History:

The development site is 4.14 acres of land owned by the County and located on the west side of Eagle Court at the Byron Airport. The site is designated for aviation use on the Byron Master Plan.

On September 18, 2019, the County received a letter of interest to develop the 4.14 acres at the Byron Airport. On September 19, 2019, the Contra Costa County Public Works – Airports Division solicited for competitive interest to develop the 3 acres. The solicitation period ended on October 14, 2019, and the County did not receive any additional letters of interest.

On November 5, 2019, the Board authorized Airports Staff to negotiate lease and development terms with Mark Scott Construction, Inc.

Project approval and construction was delayed due to the lender’s requirement to have leases signed with subtenants prior to commencing construction. To facilitate the project, Airports staff worked with the development team to break the initial project into three phases. Three separate leases were developed along with option agreements for the later phases. All three leases and the option agreements were approved by the Board of Supervisors at their January 5, 2021 meeting. The developer has executed the lease for the first phase. The project sponsor has also secured the building permits for the project.

Referral Update:

The project sponsors are worked with Public Works staff and received approval of their stormwater and clean water requirements for the project. Construction commenced immediately upon completion of the stormwater and clean water elements. Building foundations have been poured for the initial phase of the development.

Recommendation(s)/Next Step(s):

Discuss the 4.14-acre development, Byron Airport. This is a general discussion about the status of the proposed project.

Fiscal Impact (if any):

None.
