An informational presentation of the proposed rehabilitation and adaptive reuse of the grouping of vacant piers as a mixed-use commercial, office, retail and open space development. Piers 1-1/2, 3 and 5 have been determined by the California Office of Historic Preservation (OHP) to be eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places as contributing resources to the Port of San Francisco's proposed Northern Waterfront Historic District. Additionally, the project sponsor has submitted a nomination for listing of the piers on the National Register as the Central Embarcadero Piers Historic District. The project is zoned within a C-2 (Community Business) District and the Northeastern Waterfront Special Use District No. 1, as well as an 84-X-1 and 65-D-1 Height and Bulk District. The proposed rehabilitation will be implemented in accordance with the Secretary of Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties as a Federal Rehabilitation Tax Credit project, and is currently under review by the OHP, as well as the National Park Service. The project has been the subject of environmental review pursuant to the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). This review will result in the adoption of a Mitigated Negative Declaration (Case No. 2001.0448E) and the San Francisco Environmental Review Officer has determined that the proposal would not result in a significant effect on the environment, provided it is implemented in accordance with the required mitigation measures.
