An
updated
listing
of
land
ownership
within
the
Baylands
Project
site
is
provided
in
Final
EIR
Chapter
3.0.
Information
on
the
dates
that
individual
property
owners
acquired
their
land
is
not
relevant
to
the
analysis
of
physical
impacts
of
proposed
development
within
the
Baylands.
A
review
of
the
map
on
page
61
of
the
General
Plan
indicates
that
the
boundary
line
between
the
Trade
Commercial
and
Lagoon
designations
appears
to
be
near,
but
does
not
touch,
Lagoon
Road.
Given
the
scales
of
the
map
on
page
61
of
the
General
Plan
and
Draft
EIR
Figure
no
revision
to
Figure
is
warranted.
Figure
illustrates
General
Plan
land
use
designations.
The
Brisbane
General
Plan’s
“Open
Space”
designation
does
not
distinguish
between
public
and
private
open
space
areas.
Thus,
no
revision
to
Figure
is
warranted.
Existing
land
uses
are
mapped
in
Figure

.
As
set
forth
in
Brisbane
Municipal
Code
Section
17.02.400,
building
height
is
defined
and
measured
as
follows.
“Structures.
As
applied
to
structures,
height
means
the
vertical
distance
above
a
reference
datum
measured
to
the
highest
point
of
the
coping
of
a
flat
roof
or
to
the
deck
line
of
a
mansard
roof
or
to
the
average
height
of
the
highest
gable
of
a
pitched
or
hipped
or
vaulted
roof.
The
reference
datum
shall
be
the
lowest
point
of
elevation
of
the
finished
grade
between
the
building
and
the
property
line
when
the
property
line
is
five
(5)
feet
or
less
from
the
building.
When
the
property
line
is
more
than
five
(5)
feet
from
the
building,
the
reference
datum
shall
be
the
lowest
point
of
elevation
of
the
finished
grade
between
the
building
and
a
line
five
(5)
feet
from
the
building.
When
the
finished
grade
results
from
fill,
the
reference
datum
shall
be
the
lowest
point
of
elevation
of
the
natural
grade
prior
to
the
placement
of
the
fill.
In
the
case
of
a
stepped
or
terraced
building,
each
segment
of
the
building
shall
be
separately
measured
and
the
height
of
the
building
shall
be
the
maximum
height
of
the
highest
segment.”
However,
because
(1)
the
entirety
of
the
Baylands
consists
of
fill
material,
(2)
“natural
grade”
is
well
below
ground,
and
(3)
landfil
l
closure
will
require
capping
of
the
landfill
with
additional
soil
materials,
the
definition
of
building
height
set
forth
in
Municipal
Code
Section
17.02.400
would
be
ineffective
for
Brisbane
Baylands
