PRESIDIO TRUST


Letterman Complex, The Presidio of San Francisco, Notice of 
Availability To Review the Final Environmental Impact Statement and 
Planning Guidelines

AGENCY: The Presidio Trust.

ACTION: Notice of availability to review the Final Environmental Impact 
Statement (EIS) and Planning Guidelines for new development and uses on 
23 acres within the Letterman Complex, The Presidio of San Francisco, 
San Francisco, California (Presidio). The Final EIS is a supplement to 
the 1994 Final General Management Plan Amendment (GMPA) EIS for the 
Presidio.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 101(2)(c) of the National Environmental 
Policy Act of 1969 (Pub. L. 91-90 as amended), the Presidio Trust 
(Trust) has prepared a Final EIS analyzing the potential impacts of new 
development and uses on a 23-acre site within the 60-acre Letterman 
Complex, located in the northeast corner of the Presidio. The Final EIS 
describes and evaluates a preferred alternative (Digital Arts Center) 
and five additional alternatives for development and occupancy of new 
low- to mid-rise buildings totaling approximately 900,000 square feet. 
The six alternatives were fully examined in the Draft EIS that was 
circulated and filed in April 1999 (64 FR 22662-63). Two of the six 
alternatives were previously analyzed in the 1994 GMPA EIS: a specific 
proposal for the site (Science and Education Center) as part of a 
proposed action (Alternative A); and a no action alternative (Minimum 
Requirements/Alternative B). The other alternatives evaluated in the 
Final EIS were identified through a Request for Qualifications and 
scoping process and include a Sustainable Urban Village, a Mixed-Use 
Development, and a Live/Work Village.

CONTENTS OF FINAL EIS: The Final EIS consists of responses to all of 
the substantive comments received on the Draft EIS, and revisions to 
the Draft EIS that incorporate analysis, additional information, and 
suggested changes made in response to comments.

Guidelines are available by calling or writing: The Presidio Trust,
