City/County Association of Governments of San Mateo County / Airport Land Use Commission Letter Dated July 31, 2013

C/CAG 1-1

[See page 5-31 for the original comment] Because the Baylands Project Site is located more than two (2) miles from San Francisco International Airport and is not located within the 65 dB noise contour of the airport, the Draft EIR concluded that impacts in relation to airport operations and noise would be less than significant. While Comment C/CAG-1 correctly notes that the Baylands Project Site is within Airport Influence Area A – Real Estate Disclosure Area, and person(s) offering real property for lease or sale are required to provide an airport disclosure statement, no physical environmental impacts are associated with such disclosure statements.
