Status Report on

Proposed City-

Airport Agreement

on Development

Mr. Kirsch, Special Counsel, presented a report on the proposed Development Agreement between the City and the Airport Authority.  He emphasized that there is no agreement drafted at this time, and noted that staff in undertaking the process of drafting one.  He then discussed the following key elements of the proposed Agreement over a seven-year period: no new zoning; no new terminal for 10 years and that the Authority would not seek any approval for a new terminal; no new gates and airport parking; the Authority would discontinue the use of a small portion of the B-6 property for overflow parking for at least two years and parking at the Airport would not be expanded for at least four years; the Authority could proceed with normal projects such as maintenance and capital projects that occur over the normal course of events; the Authority would gain control over the parking facility on the A-1 North property; the Authority and the City would work together to seek nighttime noise curfew; and, the Authority would be allowed to complete Taxiway D and would remove Parking Lot A which is located too close to the existing runway for safety purposes.  He noted that at the end of the Agreement, the City would return to the status quo as is today and all protections available to the City today would be available at the end of the Agreement.

Mr. Kirsch then gave a brief background on staff�s actions since adopting the Interim Development Control Ordinance in August 2002, and discussed the different ways in which the proposed Agreement would affect the City�s power and fundamental controls over the Airport as follows:  the City�s zoning controls existing over the Airport would be enhanced by imposing more specific and stringent requirements on all Airport property; the City�s control over the A-1 North property (Star Park) would be enhanced; the Trust Agreements and protections of the B-6 Property would be preserved; the City�s Public Utilities Commission 21661.6 authority would not be affected; Measure B is not applicable; and, limits on any new terminal will be enhanced for 10 years.

Mr. Kirsch then discussed the necessary City reviews and approvals, and the proposed public participation opportunities prior to final Council action in mid November 2004.

Following Council deliberation and further clarification from staff, the report was noted and filed.
