Environmental
Review
and
CEQA
Documentation
for
Subsequent
Projects
Environmental
review
for
subsequent
site-specific
development
projects
and
program
components
is
discussed
on
pages
and
of
the
Draft
EIR.
The
program
EIR
prepared
for
the
Baylands
will
serve
as
a
“first
-
tier”
document
to
assist
in
later
CEQA
review
of
site
-
specific
development
projects,
i.e.,
environmental
documents
prepared
for
the
later
projects
may
incorporate
by
reference
the
general
discussions
and
broad
analysis
from
the
program
EIR,
concentrating
their
analysis
on
issues
specific
to
the
effects
of
the
particular
project
(project-
specific
impacts
and
mitigation
measures).
As
st
ated
by
the
California
Supreme
Court,
“it
is
proper
for
a
lead
agency
to
use
its
discretion
to
focus
a
first-
tier
EIR
on
only
the…program,
leaving
project-
specific
details
to
subsequent
EIRs
when
specific
projects
are
considered”
(
In
re
Bay
Delta
(2008)
43
Cal.4th
1143,
1174).
At
such
time
as
site-specific
development
projects
are
proposed
within
the
Baylands,
the
City
would
undertake
further
environmental
review
under
CEQA
to
determine
whether
the
projects
would
result
in
new
or
more
severe
significant
environmental
effects
than
those
disclosed
in
the
Brisbane
Baylands
EIR,
and
would
prepare
future
CEQA
documents
for
those
subsequent
site-specific
development
projects
accordingly.
(See
CEQA
Guidelines
Sections
15162
[subsequent
EIR],
15163
[supplemental
EIR],
and
15164
[addendum].)
Water
supply,
site
remediation,
and
Title
27
landfill
closure
will
be
addressed
in
a
similar
manner.
At
such
time
as
the
specifics
as
to
how
water
will
be
physically
moved
from
OID
to
the
City
of
Brisbane
are
developed
and
available,
subsequent
environmental
evaluations
will
be
undertaken
by
the
City.
In
addition,
at
such
time
as
human
health
risk
assessments
have
been
completed,
risk-based
cleanup
goals
have
been
developed,
RAPs
for
and
have
been
prepared
and
reviewed
by
the
DTSC
and
RWQCB,
and
closure
plans
for
the
former
landfill
have
been
prepared
and
reviewed
by
the
RWQCB,
subsequent
project
level
environmental
evaluations
will
be
undertaken
by
those
agencies.
To
clarify
(1)
the
use
of
the
Brisbane
Baylands
EIR
in
the
analysis
of
future
site-specific
development
and
implementation
activities,
and
(2)
that
additional
CEQA
evaluation
would
be
undertaken
before
future
site-specific
development
and
implementing
actions
would
be
approved,
the
following
revisions
to
the
Draft
EIR
are
hereby
made:
The
third
paragraph
under
Section
1.1,
Environmental
Review
,
on
page
of
the
Draft
EIR
is
revised
to
read
as
follows:
Future
discretionary
approvals
and
permits
proposed
required
for
development
within
the
Baylands,
including,
but
not
limited
to,
site
remediation
and
provision
of
water
supply,
will
be
subject
to
the
provisions
of
CEQA.
Pursuant
to
CEQA
Guidelines
Section
15168(c),
the
City
or
the
Responsible
Agency
undertaking
will
review
any
such
future
discretionary
actions
concerning
development
within
the
Baylands
Project
Site
for
development
within
the
Baylands
will
to
determine
the
extent
to
which
the
analyses
contained
in
this
EIR
address
the
impacts
of
such
discretionary
actions,
whether
additional
environmental
review
is
required,
and
what
form
that
that
review
will
take.
When
Should
additional
environmental
analysis
is
determined
to
be
necessary,
the
City
or
the
Responsible
Agency
may
use
the
information
in
this
EIR
to
assist
in
support
such
future
environmental
review.
