database.
Three
facilities
are
noted
as
having
Notices
of
Violations:
Quicksilver
Products;
VWR
International
LLC
(Van
Waters
&
Rogers);
and
SFPP,
L.P/Chevron/Tosco
Corp
Brisbane
Terminal
(Kinder
Morgan).
Although
each
of
the
facilities
listed
above
received
Notices
of
Violations,
they
also
attained
compliance
within
two
years,
or
less,
of
receipt
of
the
Notices
of
Violations.

The
Draft
EIR
defines
sustainable
development
as
“development
that
meets
the
needs
of
the
present
without
compromising
the
ability
of
future
generations
to
meet
their
own
needs.”
This
definition
is
widely
used
because
it
comes
directly
from
the
World
Commission
on
Environment
and
Development’s
Brundt
land
Commission
when
they
coined
the
term
“sustainable
development”
in
1987.
This
definition
is
also
provided
within
the
broader
context
of
the
City’s
goals
and
objectives
for
Project
Site
development.
The
Draft
EIR
states,
“the
City’s
overarching
objectiv
e
is
to
establish
a
development
plan
for
the
Baylands
that
will
be
a
leading
model
of
sustainable
development,
which
is
a
source
of
pride
to
Brisbane
and
demonstrates
that
environmental,
social,
and
economic
considerations
can
be
harmonized
to
the
betterment
of
the
natural
environment,
the
Brisbane
and
regional
community,
and
the
individuals
who
will
use
the
Baylands.”
The
comment
asserts
that
proposed
Baylands
development
is
not
sustainable
due
to
inconsistency
with
the
Brisbane
General
Plan.
As
cited
in
the
comment,
the
Draft
EIR
supports
the
assertion
that
Project
Site
development
includes
sustainability
attributes,
stating,
“the
project
includes
sufficient
residential
proximity
to
transit
and
jobs
to
create
a
sustainable
community
to
support
retail
and
encourages
the
use
of
walking
and
public
transportation
to
minimize
the
use
of
impact
of
private
automobiles.”
Whether
a
project
is
or
is
not
consistent
with
specific
policies
of
the
General
Plan
has
no
bearing
as
to
whether
it
may
include
one
or
more
attributes
of
sustainability.
Consistency
with
the
General
Plan
is
addressed
extensively
in
Section
4.I,
Land
Use
and
Planning
Policy
,
for
each
of
the
development
scenarios.
See
also
Chapter
7.0
of
the
Draft
EIR,
which
is
entirely
dedicated
to
the
issue
of
sustainability.
