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.
Referral Update:
Mark Scott Construction is in process of submitting building permits and anticipates construction to start by late March 2020. The lease is being developed and anticipated to be scheduled for the Board of Supervisor’s review at their February 25, 2020, meeting. County staff negotiated lease and development terms with the development team. A lease has been drafted and is expected to be scheduled for the Board of Supervisor’s review and approval in September. 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 first phase of the project is now being constructed.
