Treasure Island/Yerba Buena Island Project - Certification of the
Final Environmental Impact Report - 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 Draft EIR identifies potentially significant, unavoidable
environmental impacts on aesthetics, historic architectural resources,
transportation, noise, air quality, wind and biological resources.
Preliminary Recommendation: Certify the Final EIR
(Continued from
the Regular Meeting of April 7, 2011)
Note: The Planning Commission does not conduct public review of
Final EIRs. Public comments on the certification may be presented to the
Planning Commission during the Public Comment portion of the calendar.
