PRESIDIO TRUST


Letterman Complex, The Presidio of San Francisco, Notice of 
approval of Record of Decision for the Final Environmental Impact 
Statement and Planning Guidelines

AGENCY: The Presidio Trust.

ACTION: Notice of Approval of Record of Decision.

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

SUMMARY: Pursuant to section 102(2)(C) of the National Environmental 
Policy Act of 1969 (Pub. L. 91-90 as amended), and the regulations 
promulgated by the Council on Environmental Quality (40 CFR 1505.2), 
the Presidio Trust (Trust) has prepared and approved a Record of 
Decision (ROD) for the Final Environmental Impact Statement and 
Planning Guidelines for New Development and Uses on 23 Acres within the 
Letterman Complex (FEIS), The Presidio of San Francisco, San Francisco, 
California (Presidio). The FEIS is a supplement to the 1994 Final 
General Management Plan Amendment (GMPA) EIS for the Presidio. The ROD 
documents the decision and rationale for selecting a development 
alternative for the 23-acre site in compliance with the mandates of the 
Presidio Trust Act and as guided by the GMPA. The ROD is a concise 
statement of the decision, alternatives considered, the nature of 
public involvement, and mitigating measures developed to avoid or 
minimize environmental impacts. Comments received on the FEIS and 
responses are also attached to the ROD.

DATES: The Trust has selected for implementation Alternative 5, the 
Digital Arts Center (identified as the proposed action in the FEIS), as 
the development alternative for the 23-acre site, and will implement 
the selected proposal as soon as practicable. This alternative and five 
other alternatives were fully examined in the Draft EIS that was 
publicly circulated and filed with the United States Environmental 
Protection Agency (EPA) on April 23, 1999 (64 FR 23296-97) and the FEIS 
that was publicly circulated and filed with the EPA on March 17, 2000 
(65 FR 14558). The Presidio Trust Board of Directors reviewed and 
considered the ROD after an extended no-action period, and authorized 
the Trust's Executive Director to finalize and approve the ROD, which 
was signed on May 24, 2000.
