Design

Facilities
Consistent
with
Brisbane
General
Plan
Policy
146,
which
requires
developers
to
provide
needed
infrastructure
“at
their
own
expense,”
responsibility
for
the
costs
of
constructing
all
public
facilities
and
infrastructure
required
to
support
Baylands
development
would
be
the
responsibility
of
the
Project
Site
developer.
Specific
facilities
and
infrastructure
components
that
the
Project
Site
developer
would
be
required
to
design
and
physically
construct,
and
facilities
for
which
the
Project
Site
developer
would
be
required
to
pay
the
City
or
other
agencies
for
the
full
cost
for
design
and
construction,
would
be
identified
as
part
of
the
design
and
approval
process
for
a
site-
specific
development
and
review
of
infrastructure
and
public
services
plans.
The
Final
EIR
includes
mitigation
measures
to
reduce
significant
environmental
impacts
of
infrastructure
construction.
The
cost
of
implementing
these
mitigation
measures
rests
with
the
Project
Site
developer,
unless
specifically
noted
otherwise
in
the
Mitigation
Monitoring
and
Reporting
Program
contained
in
Chapter
4.0
of
the
Final
EIR
or
in
a
development
agreement
approved
by
the
Brisbane
City
Council.
Long-Term
Maintenance
Maintenance
of
roadway
and
freeway
improvements
required
by
the
Baylands
development,
as
well
as
associated
landscaping
within
rights-of-way,
would
be
the
responsibility
of
the
jurisdiction
owning
the
facility.
For
example,
maintenance
of
new
or
improved
streets
and
associated
landscaping
within
Brisbane
would
be
the
City’s
responsibility,
and
maintenance
of
state
highway
facilities
would
be
Caltrans’
responsibility.
Mechanisms
also
exist
for
the
City
to
set
up
maintenance
districts
such
that
infrastructure
and
public
improvements
are
paid
for
from
the
specific
area
benefitting
from
these
facilities,
rather
than
from
the
City’s
general
fund
a
nd
the
community
at
large.
Maintenance
of
water,
wastewater,
electrical,
natural
gas,
and
other
utility
facilities,
as
well
as
schools
and
other
public
buildings
and
facilities,
would
be
the
responsibility
of
the
service
agency
owning
and
operating
such
facilities.

Comments
Several
comments
requested
clarification
of
how
the
baseline
traffic
conditions
under
Cumulative
Conditions
were
developed
and
whether
nearby
projects
were
included
in
the
forecasts.
Response
As
stated
on
pages
4.N-51
to
4.N-52
of
the
Draft
EIR,
baseline
volumes
for
the
Cumulative
Without
Project
conditions
were
developed
using
the
SF-CHAMP
model.
The
model
includes
anticipated
development
projects
and
projected
land
use
changes,
on
both
the
small
scale
and
the
Brisbane
Baylands
Final
EIR
