PRESIDIO TRUST
Letterman Complex, The Presidio of San Francisco, California;
Notice of Availability to Review and Comment on the Draft Supplemental
Environmental Impact Statement
AGENCY: The Presidio Trust.
ACTION: Notice of availability to review and comment on the draft
supplemental environmental impact statement (SEIS) for new development
and uses within the Letterman Complex, The Presidio of San Francisco.
The draft SEIS is a supplement to the 1994 Final General Management
Plan Amendment (GMPA) EIS for The Presidio of San Francisco.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Presidio Trust has prepared a draft SEIS for the
development and occupancy of approximately 900,000 square feet of new,
low- to mid-rise mixed-use space within 23 acres of the 60-acre
Letterman Complex, located in the northeast corner of The Presidio of
San Francisco, California. New development would necessitate the
demolition of the functionally obsolete 451,000-square-foot Letterman
Army Medical Center (LAMC) and 356,000-square-foot Letterman Army
Institute of Research (LAIR), and several other non-historic structures
located within the Letterman Complex. For the purposes of the draft
SEIS, six alternatives have been formulated for development and
occupancy of the site: a ``Science and Education Center'' (the Updated
Presidio GMPA Alternative, or Alternative 1); a ``Sustainable Urban
Village'' (Alternative 2); a ``Mixed Use Development'' (Alternative 3);
a ``Live/Work Village'' (Alternative 4); a ``Digital Arts Center''
(Alternative 5) and ``Minimum Management'' (the No Action Alternative,
or Alternative 6). The alternatives were selected on the basis of
concerns expressed during public involvement activities and the
proposals received and considered by the Presidio Trust in response to
its Request for Qualifications to develop the site.
Public Meetings
The Presidio Trust will receive oral comment on the draft SEIS at
the May 18, 1999 and June 15, 1999 meetings of the Citizens' Advisory
Commission of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area. The meetings
will be held at Park Headquarters, Building 201, Fort Mason, San
Francisco, California at 7:30 p.m.
