See
Master Response
1
for
discussion
of
requirements
for
concept
plans
and
specific
plans,
including
Brisbane
General
Plan
requirements
regarding
when
they
are
required
to
be
prepared
and
applicable
requirements
for
their
content.
As
discussed
in
Draft
EIR
Chapter
1,
Introduction,
and
Chapter
3,
Project
Description
,
the
Brisbane
Baylands
EIR
addresses
proposed
development
of
the
Baylands
as
expressed
in
both
the
four
Concept
Plans
(DSP,
DSP-V,
CPP,
and
CPP-V
scenarios)
and
the
proposed
Specific
Plan
submitted
to
the
City
by
Universal
Paragon
Corporation
(UPC)
for
the
DSP
and
DSP-V
Concept
Plan
scenarios.
The
concept
plan
scenarios
and
the
Draft
EIR
cover
the
entire
733-acre
Baylands
Project
Site.
Whether
recreational
access
to
the
lagoon
is
permitted
or
not
in
the
concept
plan
scenarios
is
not
relevant
to
the
geographic
extent
of
the
concept
plans.

Mitigation
Measure
4.G-2a
requires
that
remediation
and
formal
landfill
closure
be
undertaken
prior
to
site
remediation.
See
Master Response 13
for
discussion
of
the
remediation
review
and
approval
process
for
the
Baylands.
The
Mitigation
Monitoring
and
Reporting
Program
set
forth
in
Chapter
4.0
of
the
Final
EIR
describes
the
requirements
for
implementing
Mitigation
Measure
4.G-2a
and
all
other
mitigation
measures
set
forth
in
the
EIR.
See
also
Master Response
3
for
discussion
regarding
the
enforceability
of
EIR
mitigation
measures.

The
purpose
of
the
visual
simulations
is
to
address
the
extent
to
which
proposed
development
within
the
Baylands
would
have
an
adverse
effect
on
a
scenic
vista.
Thus,
the
model
developed
for
the
visual
simulation
analyses
in
the
Draft
EIR
demonstrates
an
overall
worst-case
potential
for
view
obstruction
of
scenic
vistas
given
applicable
development
requirements,
such
as
total
amount
of
allowable
building
area,
allowable
maximum
building
heights,
setbacks,
and
floor
area
ratios
(FARs).
Proposed
development
for
the
visual
simulations
presented
in
Table
4.A-1
was
based
on
the
maximum
allowable
amount
of
development
at
the
maximum
building
heights
permitted
as
described
on
Draft
EIR
pages
3.A-14
and
15.
The
Draft
EIR
analysis
of
visual/aesthetic
impacts
of
the
four
proposed
concept
plan
scenarios
included
12
existing
public
viewpoints
of
the
Baylands
site,
including
vantage
points
from
both
close
to
the
property
boundary
as
well
as
more
distant
vantage
points
from
San
Francisco
and
Daly
City.
The
public
viewpoints
selected
by
the
City
represent
a
reasonable
range
of
directions
and
distances
form
the
Baylands,
as
well
as
ground
elevations
to
address
impacts
to
