The Santa Maria Public Airport District, Santa Maria, California
requested a release from the conditions contained in the Quitclaim Deed
and Grant Assurance obligations for approximately 21.09 acres of
airport land at Santa Maria Public Airport. The property is located on
the north side of the Airport and south of Fairway Drive. The property
is mostly undeveloped and served as a 9-hole golf course. The Santa

market value and the sale proceeds will be used for airport purposes.
The future commercial use of the property represents a compatible use
that will not interfere with airport operations. On this basis, the
disposal will serve the interests of civil aviation.
