geographically. Where impacts will have a specific geographic effect (such as traffic at specific intersections, noise, and impacts on sensitive uses), impacts at specific locations are noted. Where the evaluation of alternatives concludes that significant effects of proposed development scenarios will be reduced, the geographic effects of such impacts would be reduced. See Master Response 19 for discussion of the impacts of the four proposed development concepts on Visitacion Valley.

[See page 5-60 for the original comment] The Draft EIR analyzes impacts on regional housing demand in Section 4.K, Population and Housing. Brisbane’s existing Housing Element was certified and found to be in compliance with State law by the California Department of Housing and Community Development. Thus, Brisbane’s Housing Element complies with state requirements for providing sufficient opportunities for the development of Brisbane’s fair share of regional housing need for all economic segments of the community.

While Plan Bay Area projects an increase of 266 dwelling units for the City of Brisbane as a whole (see Draft EIR Table 4.K-9), Plan Bay Area also does not project housing within the Baylands. ABAG has determined Brisbane’s fair share of regional housing need through 2023 to be 85 dwelling units, which can be accommodated within the City of Brisbane outside of the Baylands.

[See page 5-60 for the original comment] The first full paragraph on page 4.I-13 is revised to read as follows.

Visitacion Valley Redevelopment Program. Since the fall of 2001, residents of Visitacion Valley have worked with the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency, the San Francisco Planning Department, the Mayor’s Office of Economic and Workforce Development, and the City Supervisor’s office on plans for the redevelopment of the former Schlage Lock site on the border of San Francisco and San Mateo Counties. While the entire former Visitacion Valley Redevelopment Area comprises 40 acres, the former Schlage Lock site encompasses approximately 20 acres and includes Third Street Light Rail connections and Leland Avenue. The site, which is immediately north of the Baylands, along the west side of the Caltrain corridor, contains contaminated soil and is subject to remediation requirements. The plan for the site as amended by the Board of Supervisors on July 22, 2014 proposes 1,250 1,679 residential units and 120,000 43,700 square feet of commercial and institutional development. Another 335 residential units and 2,600 square feet of commercial and institutional development were contemplated in an adjacent portion of the former redevelopment area.
