development
within
the
Baylands
that
requires
such
a
determination
will
be
approved
until
the
FAA
issues
the
determination.

a
copy
of
the
Final
EIR
for
proposed
Brisbane
Baylands
development.
2.8.3.6
San
Francisco
Municipal
Transportation
Agency
This
comment
which
contextualizes
the
Baylands
in
its
regional
setting
does
not
raise
any
substantive
issues
regarding
the
adequacy
of
the
Draft
EIR
or
its
analyses
and
conclusions.
The
comment
uses
the
phrase
“regionally
-
accepted
minimums
of
density
and
land
use
mix,”
but
provides
no
discussion
as
to
what
such
minimums
and
mix
might
be,
or
what
source
was
used
to
define
“regionally
-accepted
minimu
ms.”
As
noted
in
Section
4.K,
Population
and
Housing
,
proposed
non-residential
development
within
the
Baylands
under
all
four
concept
plan
scenarios
would
exceed
Plan
Bay
Area’s
employment
projections
for
the
Baylands
PDA.
It
is
not
reasonable
to
conclude
that
development
consistent
with
the
projections
of
the
adopted
Plan
Bay
Area,
which
is
the
regionally
accepted
Sustainable
Community
Strategy
aimed
at
encouraging
use
of
transit
to
reduce
greenhouse
gas
emissions,
would
jeopardize
long-term
funding
of
the
Caltrain
Station.
In
addition,
such
an
assertion
is
speculative
and
beyond
the
purview
of
CEQA,
which
requires
an
EIR
to
evaluate
the
physical
environmental
effects
of
a
proposed
development.

recommendations
by
the
City
and
County
of
San
Francisco
urging
the
City
of
Brisbane
to
consider
the
Recology
expansion
along
with
substantially
less
development
intensity
than
Comment
warns
would
jeopardize
long-term
funding
of
the
Caltrain
Station.
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.
