San Francisco and San Mateo Counties. These improvements, requiring approval by the City of Brisbane, are being studied through their own CEQA environmental review process. Implementation of these regional improvements would be based on fair-share funding measures through inter-jurisdictional study and cooperation, such as the ongoing inter-jurisdictional Bi-County Transportation Study effort led by the SFCTA. Inclusion of the regional improvements proposed in the Bi-County Transportation Study recognizes the need for such facilities to support major proposed development within San Francisco and Daly City, and that these improvements are independent of any action the City of Brisbane may take regarding proposed Baylands development. However, the City of Brisbane also recognizes that the proposed Baylands development also contributes to the need for these regional improvements. Thus, Brisbane will require project developer fair-share contributions to these identified funding needs as a condition of development approval. Within San Francisco, the Planning Department and the Office of Community Investment and Infrastructure will require project developer fair-share contributions to these identified funding needs as a condition of development approval, or as a condition of any Owner Participation Agreement. Should these facilities not be constructed in a timely manner relative to development of the Baylands, Project Site development would still be required to meet the performance standards set forth by mitigation measures in this EIR.

[See page 5-61 for the original comment] There is no legal requirement for the Baylands to provide housing in order for the San Francisco/San Mateo Bi-County Priority Development Area (PDA) to retain its PDA designation. The Bi-County PDA designation was granted due to the confluence of jobs, housing and transit opportunities in close proximity across multiple jurisdictions. The July 2013 Final Forecast of Jobs, Population and Housing, prepared by the Association of Bay Area Governments and the Metropolitan Transportation Commission in July 2013 projects a total increase of 250 dwelling units between 2010 and 2040 throughout the entirety of the City of Brisbane with no housing projected for the Baylands. The residential component of the Bi-County PDA is projected to occur within the San Francisco portion of the PDA for which the July 2013 Final Forecast of Jobs, Population and Housing projects an increase of 5,250 dwelling units between 2010 and 2040. The various planning issues and recommendations raised in these comments regarding appropriate land uses for the Baylands will be considered by the City as part of its planning review and decisionmaking.

[See page 5-61 for the original comment] The proposed development being analyzed includes concept plan and General Plan level information for all four scenarios and specific plan level information regarding development of the DSP and DSP-V scenarios. No site-specific development projects have been proposed,
