2008.0021E
(R. COOPER: (415) 575-9027)
Parkmerced Project; 3711 Nineteenth Avenue
- Certification of the Final Environmental Impact Report - The
project site is located on about 152 acres of land adjacent to Lake Merced
(Assessors Block 7303-001, 7303-A-001, 7308-001, 7309-001, 7309-A-001, 7310-001,

7333-003, 7333-A-001, 7333-B-001, 7333-C-001, 7333-D-001, 7333-E-001, 7334-001,
7335-001, 7336-001, 7337-001, 7338-001, 7339-001, 7340-001, 7341-001, 7342-001,
7343-001, 7344-001, 7345-001, 7345-A-001, 7345-B-001, 7345-C-001, 7356-001,
7357-001, 7358-001, 7359-001, 7360-001, 7361-001, 7362-001, 7363-001, 7364-001,
7365-001, 7366-001, 7367-001, 7368-001, 7369-001, and 7370-001). The Proposed
Project would increase residential density, provide new commercial and retail
services, modify transit facilities, and improve utilities within the site. A
new Pre K-5 school and day care facility, a fitness center, and new open space
uses, would also be provided. About 1,683 of the existing apartments located in
11 tower buildings would be retained. Over a period of approximately 20 years,
the remaining 1,538 existing apartments would be demolished and replaced, and an
additional 5,679 net new units would be added, resulting in a total of about
8,900 units on the site. The transportation system modifications would include
rerouting the existing Muni Metro M Ocean View line through the development.
Infrastructure improvements would include the installation renewable energy
sources, such as wind turbines and photovoltaic cells. The Proposed Project
would require amendments to the San Francisco Planning Code and the San
Francisco General Plan. The Planning Code amendments would change the
Height and Bulk District Zoning Map and would add a Special Use District (SUD)
applicable to the entire Project Site. A Development Agreement is also
proposed, which would be accompanied by the proposed Parkmerced Design
Standards and Guidelines with specific development guidelines. The
transportation improvements would require approval of the San Francisco
Municipal Transit Authority, the California Public Utilities Commission, and
Caltrans. The Draft EIR identified potentially significant, unavoidable
environmental impacts on aesthetics, historic architectural resources,
transportation, noise, air quality, wind and biological resources.
