Top issues during term (15)(Development)
Falcon Nano drone and bird detection field testing
The agreements will bring a modest usage-fee revenue stream to the airport.
Archer Aviation propeller testing at Hollister Airport
Would be leased at $0.23 per square foot, creating new revenue on land that currently earns the airport nothing.
Los Pinars apartments and Nash Road traffic
No city cost from the subdivision itself; the developer pays traffic impact fees and built half of Cushman Road as previously required.
Meridian Village continuation
Housing Element certification
Reduced open-space and lot-size requirements lower development costs for multifamily and small-lot housing projects.
Housing Trust Fund establishment
$300,000 transferred from the general fund to the housing revolving loan fund after HCD certification.
FAA grants for Hollister Municipal Airport
Not stated in the record; any rent or fee terms would be set in the use agreement.
340 Bridgevale affordable rental housing sewer agreement
Projected as fiscally neutral or beneficial, with capacity and impact fees replenishing the sewer fund.
JRVS Ventures hangar proposal transparency concerns
A new 15,000-square-foot hangar would increase airport lease revenue, though terms are not yet negotiated.
Community Development Department overhaul
204 Hawkins affordable housing litigation
Litigation costs and the housing obligations at stake were not disclosed.
Kramer Commons subdivision extension and housing supply
Each lot pays roughly $2,500 toward San Felipe Road improvements, and the developer will pay traffic and sewer impact fees that have climbed sharply since 2021.
Community Development Department Reorganization
About $1 million in projected savings, but three employees lose their positions.
Industrial warehouse development at 1850 Airway Drive
No direct city cost; the project could bring construction jobs and future tenant businesses to vacant industrial land.
851 Sunnyslope Road project environmental review
Costs will depend on the RFP bids; no amount was set.
