Brief Overview of the Request
The City of Banning requested a release from the conditions and
restrictions in applicable grant agreements with the United States for
approximately 20 acres of undeveloped airport land obligated for
airport purposes at Banning Municipal Airport, Banning, California. The
20-acre parcel is not being used for airport purposes and is not needed
for future airport development. The land is located on the south side
of the airport and is separated from the developed area on the west
side of the airport. The parcel was acquired with an Airport
Improvement Grant in September 1983. The property has remained vacant
and undeveloped since its acquisition. It has been determined that the
property will not be used for airport development and is, therefore,
not needed for airport purposes. In accordance with Assurance 31,
Disposal of Land, land that was acquired with a grant for airport
development will be disposed of at fair market value when the land is
no longer
[[Page 54327]]
needed for such a purpose. The sale price of the parcel will be based
on an appraisal of its fair market value. The sales proceeds will be
invested in eligible airport development projects. Following the sale,
the property's redevelopment for non-aeronautical purposes will comply
with local zoning and compatible land-use requirements. Use of the
proceeds from the release will be used for airport improvements that
will provide tangible benefits to the airport and civil aviation.
Issued in Hawthorne, California, on August 9, 2006.
George Aiken,
Manager, Safety and Standards Branch, Airports Division, Western-
Pacific Region.
