    The proposed project consists of up to 220 acres of the FISC's land 
and facilities to be leased to the Port of Oakland for long-term 
commercial uses and redevelopment for maritime cargo transportation-
related functions. In addition, the project includes 45 acres of the 
Port of Oakland's property, south of the Center and adjacent to the
