Individual

to
Comments
from
Organizations
General
Plan
were
updated
in
2012.
The
flood
map
in
the
Draft
EIR
reflects
the
2012
update.
Discussion
of
flood
hazards
in
relation
to
proposed
Baylands
Project
Site
development
is
analyzed
in
Draft
EIR
Section
4.H,
Surface
Water
Hydrology
and
Water
Quality
.
See
9
for
discussion
of
historic
wetlands
and
wetland
mitigation
requirements.
See
for
discussion
of
the
remediation
review
and
approval
process.
The
Brisbane
General
Plan
and
zoning
ordinance
both
require
preparation
and
adoption
of
a
specific
plan
prior
to
development
within
the
Baylands
Subarea.
Since
state
law
requires
specific
plans
to
be
consistent
with
the
locally
adopted
General
Plan,
all
development
within
the
Baylands
will
be
required
to
be
consistent
with
the
Brisbane
General
Plan.

The
paragraph
referred
to
in
this
comment
is
the
introduction
to
a
section
entitled,
“Plans
and
Programs
of
Surrounding
Jurisdictions.”
While
the
purpose
of
this
section
is
to
identify
the
various
development
plans
and
programs
surrounding
the
Baylands
to
“provide
an
understanding
of
the
surrounding
context
of
the
Project
Site,”
the
paragraph
inadvertently
uses
the
word
“regulations.”
To
clarify
the
intent
of
the
“Plans
and
Programs
of
Surrounding
Jurisdictions,”
section
starting
on
page
4.I-12
of
the
Draft
EIR,
the
second
paragraph
on
that
page
is
revised
to
read
as
follows.
While
most
of
the
San
Francisco,
Daly
City,
and
San
Mateo
County
plans
and
regulations
development
programs
listed
below
are
not
directly
applicable
to
the
Project
Site
development,
they
provide
an
understanding
of
the
surrounding
context
of
the
Project
Site.
The
portion
of
the
Recology
site
that
is
within
San
Francisco
is
subject
to
San
Francisco
regulations,
however.
The
comment
asserts
there
will
be
considerable
conflicts
with
two
significance
thresholds
related
to
Land
Use,
but
does
not
include
specifics
on
what
those
conflicts
would
be,
or
why
impacts
would
occur
and
be
significant.
Draft
EIR
Section
4.I,
Land
Use
and
Planning
Policy
,
sets
forth
a
detailed
impact
analysis
for
each
significance
threshold,
concluding
that
although
inconsistencies
with
the
General
Plan
exist
for
each
scenario,
none
of
the
Project
site
development
scenarios
would
result
in
a
significant
impact
related
to
either
of
the
significance
criteria
described
in
the
comment.
