NOTICE OF PUBLIC REVIEW AND INTENT TO ADOPT A PROPOSED NEGATIVE DECLARATION

Existing General Plan policies and zoning regulations for Byron Airport prohibit most of the uses necessary for the airport to reach its aviation potential and achieve economic self-sufficiency. To promote economic development, the County intends to amend its Airport Land Use Compatibility Plan, General Plan, and Planned Unit District zoning to substantially broaden the range of uses allowed by-right on airport property. This will include a variety of aviation uses (terminal, hangers, fixed-base operators, aircraft sales, aviation supporting businesses, etc.) and airport-compatible uses (light industry, warehousing and distribution, general commercial and retail, offices, etc.) Approximately 941,000 square feet of new development is planned. The Project is located a 550 Eagle Court, Assessor’s Parcel Numbers: 001-011-013, 001-011-017, 001-011-033, 001-011-037, 001-031-023. County File Numbers: GP12-0003, DP14-3008.
