*Treasure Island/Yerba Buena Island Redevelopment Project*- *Public Hearing
on the Draft Environmental Impact Report* - The Treasure Island Development
Authority (TIDA), the redevelopment agency for the project, is
proposing a *Redevelopment
Plan for the Treasure Island/Yerba Buena Island Project* that would provide
the basis for redevelopment of portions of Naval Station Treasure Island,
owned by the Navy, once they are transferred to TIDA. The project site is
located on Treasure Island and Yerba Buena Island and the immediately
surrounding waters (Assessors Block 1939, Lots 1 and 2). The proposed
project would include development on Treasure Island and Yerba Buena Island
of up to 8,000 residential units; up to 140,000 square feet (sq. ft.) of new
commercial and retail space; up to 100,000 sq. ft. of new office space;
adaptive reuse of three historic buildings on Treasure Island with up to
311,000 sq. ft. of commercial, retail, and/or flex space; about 500 hotel
rooms; rehabilitation of the historic buildings on Yerba Buena Island; new
and/or upgraded public and community facilities; new and/or upgraded public
utilities; about 300 acres of parks and public open space including
shoreline access and cultural uses such as a museum; new and upgraded
streets and public ways; bicycle, transit, and pedestrian facilities; landside
and waterside facilities for the Treasure Island Sailing Center; landside
services for an expanded marina; and a new Ferry Terminal and intermodal
Transit Hub. Infrastructure improvements would include geotechnical
stabilization to improve seismic safety. The proposed project would also
include green building specifications, programs to encourage transit use,
design standards that would enable photovoltaic panel installation on most
roofs, recycled water use, and other features promoting
sustainability. Construction
and build-out would be phased and would be anticipated to occur over an
approximately 15- to 20-year period. The proposed project would require
amendments to the San Francisco Planning Code and the *San Francisco General
Plan.* The Draft EIR identifies potentially significant, unavoidable
environmental impacts on aesthetics, historic architectural resources,
transportation, noise, air quality, wind and biological resources.
Preliminary Recommendation: No Action Required
*Note: Written comments will be accepted at the Planning Department’s
offices until the close of business on August 26, 2010.*
