Referral History:
Parcel C, as commonly referred to, is County owned parcel at Buchanan Field Airport. Approximately one-third is in the County and the remainder is within the City of Concord. A majority of the parcel is within Runway 19R protection zone; which requires the land uses and subsequent improvements (such as locations, heights, and the like) comply with the FAA compatibility standards. The parcel is approximately 4.63 acres; about a third within the County and remaining two-thirds within the City of Concord (“City”) jurisdiction.
While the property may have development constraints, it is well situated for commercial/retail uses. Although the land is undeveloped, it’s access to and visibility from Highway 4 has resulted in many development interests over the years. Development attempts, however, have been prevented because there was not a tax share and development agreement between the County and City. As such, the County and City have been working on a draft agreement which were to address the primary issues at that time: (1) apportionment of sales, use and property tax revenues; (2) designation of the lead jurisdiction for planning and environmental; and (3) coordination and communication between the parties.
A draft agreement is nearing completion; it will be forwarded to the County Board of Supervisors and the City Council for review and consideration.
