HARDING GOLF COURSE, Appeal of Preliminary
Negative Declaration. The proposed project involves the upgrading and
minor changes in the layout of Harding Park Golf Course, an 18-hole course
located at Lake Merced in southwestern San Francisco. The existing nine-hole
Fleming Course would not be substantially altered. The proposed project would
include: removal of all existing grasses, replanting of tees, fairways, greens,
and roughs with new grasses; realignment of the 13th fairway and green and
relocation of the 18th green; and minor repositioning of several other greens
and tees. Excavation and shaping of the ground surface would be required,
generally to a depth of one foot or less. All existing buildings, including the
clubhouse and pro shop, restaurant, cart barn, and maintenance building
(totaling about 17,500 sq. ft. of floor area), would be demolished and
replaced with new structures that would have approximately
30,000 sq. ft. of floor area. New structures include a combined and
larger restaurant and clubhouse, and banquet facilities for group events. The
proposed project would include construction of a driving range at a new
location, double-decked with lighting to allow nighttime use; the existing
driving range would be upgraded. Artificial turf would be used on the driving
ranges. New irrigation systems would be installed on both the Harding and
Fleming courses. Existing parking lots would be demolished and replaced at
generally the same location as the main lot; about 50 parking spaces would
be added. About 120 mature trees - mostly eucalyptus, cypress, and pine -
would be removed as part of the project; additional trees may be removed as
part of a city plan to replace existing trees that are nearing the end of their
life span. No wetlands would be affected by project-related construction. The
project site is in a P (Public) Use District and an OS (Open Space) Height and
Bulk District, and is within the Local Coastal Zone permit area.
