projects)
are
also
included:
Mission
Bay,
Treasure
Island
and
Park
Merced.
Each
of
these
projects
has
been
or
will
be
reviewed
under
CEQA
to
assess
their
potential
significant
environmental
impacts,
as
well
as
a
review
of
consistency
with
the
San
Francisco
General
Plan
policies
and
objectives.
The
available
EIRs
for
the
projects
in
Table
6-2
were
consulted
as
part
of
the
analysis
of
cumulative
impacts
and
the
Baylands
potential
contribution
to
those
impacts.
Thus,
the
cumulative
impacts
analysis
presented
in
Chapter
6
includes
cumulative
impacts
analysis
from
the
EIRs
cited
in
the
comment.
The
traffic
analysis
for
the
proposed
Baylands
development,
for
example,
included
forecasting
information
from
the
regional
traffic
models
as
well
as
the
Candlestick
Point/Hunters
Point
study
(see
As
stated
in
the

and
Circulation,
Analysis
Approach:
“The

forecasts
use
the
Candlestick
Point/Hunters
Point
Study
(CPHPS)
forecasts,
developed
using
the
SFCTA
CHAMP
3
Model
as
a
part
of
the
analysis
for
the
Candlestick
Point-Hunters
Point
Shipyard
EIR
(San
Francisco
Planning
Department,
2009).
The
study
intersections
analyzed
in
the
CPHPS
EIR
have
considerable
overlap
with
the
Project
Site
study
intersections
due
to
the
proximity
of
the
two
development
areas.
A
set
of
forecasts
consistent
with
this
methodology
were
developed
for
this
EIR
by
backing
out
the
trips
generated
by
the
land
uses
for
each
of
the
development
scenarios
assumed
for
the
CPHPS
EIR
and
then
adding
in
the
newly
calculated
trips….The
cumulative
development
program
assumed
in
these
forecasts
includes
large
projects
such
as
CPHPS
(over
10,000
housing
units,
2.5
million
square
feet
of
research
and
development,
and
almost
1
million
square
feet
of
local-
and
regional-serving
retail),
Executive
Park,
Schlage
Lock
site,
India
Basin
Shoreline,
and
Visitacion
Valley.
These
projects
represent
at
least
20
years
of
development.”
The
analysis
of
project-specific
impacts
on
library
resources
contained
in
Section
4.L
of
the
Draft
EIR
concluded
that
the
residential
development
proposed
as
part
of
the
DSP
and
DSP-V
scenarios
would
generate
a
need
for
additional
library
space
and
services
beyond
what
currently
exists
in
the
City
in
order
to
maintain
existing
services
to
the
Brisbane
community
and
not
impact
libraries
in
surrounding
communities.
Mitigation
Measure
4.L-4
requires
that
a
new
library
facility
be
provided
within
the
Baylands
in
the
DSP
and
DSP-V
scenarios
to
serve
the
needs
of
Baylands
residents.
The
text
on
page

of
the
Draft
EIR
is
hereby
revised
to
clarify
this
information:
