As
stated
in
Draft
EIR
Chapter
3,
Project
Description
,
and
Section
4.I,
Land
Use
and
Planning
,
the
Brisbane
General
Plan
requires
that
development
within
the
Baylands
be
preceded
by
preparation
and
adoption
of
a
specific
plan.
Requirements
for
the
contents
of
a
specific
plan
are
contained
in
Government
Code
Section
65451,
which
mandates
in
subsection
(a)(2)
that
every
specific
plan
specify
in
detail
the
“proposed
distribution,
location,
and
extent
and
intensity
of
major
components
of
public
and
private
transportation,
sewage,
water,
drainage,
solid
waste
disposal,
energy,
and
other
essential
facilities
proposed
to
be
located
within
the
area
covered
by
the
plan
and
needed
to
support
the
land
uses
described
in
the
plan.”
Thus,
preparation
of
a
systemwide
drainage
plan
for
the
Baylands
would
be
undertaken
as
part
of
the
required
specific
plan
in
order
to
comply
with
the
provisions
of
the
City’s
General
Plan
and
state
law.
The
proposed
specific
plan
prepared
by
the
applicant
for
the
DSP
and
DSP-V
scenarios
contains
a
proposed
drainage
plan.
Preparation
of
a
detailed
systemwide
drainage
plan
for
the
Baylands
for
the
CPP
or
CPP-V
scenario
would
be
undertaken
as
part
of
the
required
specific
plan
should
either
of
those
scenarios
be
selected
by
the
City
Council.
In
addition,
as
stated
in
the
Draft
EIR
on
page
4.H-24,
all
drainage
plans
for
proposed
improvements
shall
be
prepared
in
accordance
with
NPDES
C.3
requirements
and
receive
approval
from
the
City
Engineer
consistent
with
existing
regulations
(as
stated
in
Draft
EIR
Mitigation
Measure
4.H-1c:
“Applicants
for
site-specific
development
projects
to
be
constructed
within
the
Project
Site
shall
prepare
and
implement
a
Final
Stormwater
Management
Plan
(SMP)
in
accordance
with
the
most
recent
NPDES
C.3
requirements
to
be
reviewed
and
approved
by
the
City
Engineer
prior
to
approval
of
final
design
plans.”)
Existing
regulations
stipulate
requirements
for
drainage
control
during
and
post-construction.
The
fifth
bullet
in
Mitigation
Measure
4.H-5
is
revised
to
read
as
follows:
Biological
Controls
:
Provide
for
use
of
natural
biological
processes
and
materials
for
control,
including
promoting
beneficial
insects
that
prey
on
eat
target
pests
and
biological
insecticides
derived
from
naturally
occurring
microorganisms.
While
it
is
not
possible
at
a
programmatic
level
of
analysis
to
identify
the
precise
drainage
improvements
that
would
be
required
for
future
site
specific
development,
Mitigation
Measure
4.H-
4a
requires
improvements
to
such
offsite
drainage
systems
as
are
required
to
achieve
the
performance
standards
set
forth
in
the
Mitigation
Measure
without
increasing
flood
hazards
either
on-
or
off-site.
