SUMMARY
The Skywest Property is a 126-acre site located on the property of Hayward Executive Airport. It was formerly the Skywest Golf Course that was completed in 1963 and operated by HARD between 1975 and 2020. After closure in September 2020, Airport staff assumed basic maintenance of the property and initiated a process to guide future use and development of the site. City staff and consultants prepared an initial site plan for the Skywest Property that included a mix of open space and business park uses, as well as a Runway Safety Area required by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and sought community feedback on the plan. In response to extensive community input, staff is now proposing a revised site plan and seeking review and comment from the CIAC and HARD Capital Outlay Standing Committee and a recommendation of the revised site plan to the full City Council.
