C/CAG
CMP
requires
the
owner
and
tenants
of
projects
that
will
generate
more
than
100
peak
hour
trips
to
implement
TDM
programs
that
mitigate
the
new
peak
hour
trips.
These
programs,
once
implemented,
must
be
ongoing
for
the
occupied
life
of
the
development.
Transportation
demand
management
programs
are
developed
for
site-specific
conditions.
Given
the
unique
nature
of
the
Baylands
location,
size,
and
mix
of
uses,
provision
of
a
“sample”
congestion
management
program
from
another
project
site
would
not
be
of
value
in
evaluating
the
impacts
of
proposed
Project
Site
development
or
the
ability
of
a
congestion
management
program
to
mitigate
impacts
of
proposed
development.
Ferry
service
is
not
described
in
the
existing
conditions
section,
as
there
is
no
existing
ferry
service
that
serves
the
Baylands
site.
South
San
Francisco
Ferry
and
Golden
Gate
Ferry
services
are
included
as
transit
options
in
the
transit
trip
distribution
and
assignment
tables:
4.N-21,
4.N-22,
4.N-23,
and
4.N-24.
These
would
be
linked
trips
on
transit
with
a
first
leg
made
by
a
Baylands
site-serving
transit
line,
which
are
described
in
existing
conditions.
Study
intersections
were
identified
to
fully
capture
the
impacts
of
Project
Site
development,
and
were
selected
based
on
traffic
patterns,
modeling
results,
and
engineering
judgment.
The
intersection
of
Oyster
Point
Boulevard/
US
101
Ramps
was
not
included
for
study
since
the
majority
of
the
land
use
is
concentrated
at
the
northern
section
of
the
Baylands
Project
site
and
would
be
most
logically
accessed
via
the
Beatty
Avenue/Alana
Way/Harney
Way
interchanges.
The
trip
distribution
percentages
were
based
on
the
San
Francisco
CEQA
Guidelines,
as
the
Baylands
site
is
directly
adjacent
to
San
Francisco
Superdistrict
3.
Data
compiled
for
use
in
San
Francisco
is
relevant
to
the
Brisbane
Baylands
Draft
EIR
since
the
Baylands
site
is
directly
adjacent
to
the
City
and
County
of
San
Francisco.
There
are
no
physical
features
that
separate
the
Brisbane
Baylands
site
from
adjacent
lands
within
San
Francisco.
The
roadway
and
transit
networks
are
shared
between
Brisbane
and
adjacent
lands
in
San
Francisco,
and
therefore
the
travel
behavior
would
be
similar.
Based
on
trip
distribution
developed
for
Project
Site
development,
27-28%
of
Project
Site
development
trips
were
assigned
to
Superdistrict
3,
not
all
of
them
as
asserted
in
the
comment.
The
City
will
consider
this
comment
as
part
of
the
planning
review
and
decisionmaking
for
the
Baylands.
