for
determining
the
significance
of
impacts,
as
well
as
discussion
of
an
alternative
windsurfing
impact
analysis
proposed
by
the
CPA.
In
addition
to
the
discussion
regarding
thresholds
and
methodologies
set
forth
in
the
Draft
EIR
and
and
a
meeting
was
held
with
representatives
of
the
San
Francisco
Boardsailing
Association
early
during
the
public
review
period
for
the
Draft
EIR
preceding
receipt
of
comment
letter
CPA2.
The
EIR
study
involved
new
wind
tunnel
testing
and
analysis
to
determine
all
of
the
wind
effects
of
the
proposed
Project
Site
development
on
the
CPSRA.
Prior
wind
test
results
were
included,
where
justified
and
appropriate,
to
assist
in
determining
the
wind
effects
on
the
CPSRA
of
cumulative
development
to
the
north,
within
San
Francisco.
Refer
to
and
for
discussions
about
the
adequacy
of
the
level
of
detail
of
the
wind
models
used
for
analysis
of
Project
Site
development
impacts
on
windsurfing.

a
transition
between
previous
comments
and
comments

letter.

Comment
introduces
comments
regarding
methodology
and
assumption
deficiencies
that
follow
in
the
comment
letter,
and
does
not
raise
significant
environmental
issues
regarding
the
adequacy
of
the
Draft
EIR
or
its
analyses
and
conclusions.
See
the
discussion
regarding
adequacy
of
the
project
description
and
land
use
details
used
in
the
wind
models
See

for
discussions
of
the
adequacy
of
wind
tunnel
testing
and
the
windsailing
area.
Contrary
to
the
statement
in
Comment
2-19,
as
the
300
Airport
Boulevard
project
Final
EIR
clearly
shows,
the
relative
obstruction
of
the
wind
is
substantially
greater
for
that
project
than
for
proposed
development
of
the
Baylands
Site.
This
is
primarily
because
the
buildings
that
comprise
the
300
Airport
Boulevard
development
are
massed
close
together,
and
are
centered
closer
to
the
water
and
to
the
sailing
area
at
Coyote
Point
recreation
area.
Regarding
the
significance
criterion
,
independent
of
the
Baylands

EIR,
