While the Trade Commercial designation is intended for a mix of commercial uses, several types of industrial development (warehouses, distribution facilities, light industrial, and research and development) are clearly included in that mix of permitted uses.

To clarify permitted uses within the Trade Commercial designation for the Baylands, the final two paragraphs on Page 4.I-8 of the Draft EIR are revised to read as follows:

Land Use Designations. Brisbane General Plan land use diagram (City of Brisbane, 1994) indicates that the Project Site is designated primarily as Planned Development-Trade Commercial (Baylands Subarea), with one small section on the western border adjacent to Bayshore Boulevard (Northeast Bayshore Subarea) designated Trade Commercial with no planned development overlay (see Figure 3-9 in Chapter 3, Project Description, of this EIR) and the portion of the Project Site occupied by Recology designated Heavy Commercial. The Brisbane General Plan states that Trade Commercial (TC) represents a mix of commercial uses including warehouses, distribution facilities, offices, retail uses, restaurants, commercial recreation, personal services, as well as light industrial, research and development, and uses of a similar character. Public and semi-public facilities and educational institutions may be located under this designation. Repair and maintenance services, such as auto body repair shops, may be conditionally permitted in the implementing zoning districts. In such districts, certain individual or groups of uses may predominate, thus distinguishing the districts one from the other. In the 1994 General Plan Crocker Park, Northeast Bayshore and Southeast Bayshore are designated TC. designation provides for retail sales, offices, residential uses, bulk sales, open space, recreational facilities, statuary, public and quasi-public facilities, services and utilities, commercial services, hotels, research and development, educational institutions, and lagoon/bayfront.

The Planned Development (PD) designation, which applies to the Baylands Subarea, requires that a one or more specific plan(s) be prepared and adopted prior to development of the property. The PD designation also requires that a minimum of 25 percent of the surface land within any of the subareas designated PD shall be in open space and/or open area.

Brisbane Municipal Code Section 17.15.040A, which sets forth development regulations for the Beatty Subarea, also requires preparation of a specific plan prior to expansion of the square footage of building area within that subarea.
