EIR Work Starts for Candlestick, Hunters

SAN FRANCISCO-A consultant begins work on an Environmental Impact Report for the planned redevelopment of Candlestick Point and the Hunters Point Shipyard.

SAN FRANCISCO-Formal work began this week on the Environmental Impact Report for the redevelopment of Candlestick Point and Hunters Point Shipyard. The San Francisco Redevelopment Agency selected locally based EIP Associates/PBSJ to prepare the report, with an expected mid-2009 completion date.

The work comes three months after Lennar Corp., the Miami-based Fortune 500 company the city tapped to manage the redevelopment efforts, and the SFRA released the details of their plan for redeveloping two well-known chunks of the city’s southeast shore. The combined plan calls for a new NFL football stadium, two million sf of office space, 700,000 sf of retail and entertainment uses, 9,000 housing units (25% affordable), 350 acres of open space and an 8,000 to 12,000 seat performance venue.

In late November, Lennar and the city released a plan for Candlestick Point only that included a new NFL stadium. The plan was released despite the fact that two weeks earlier the NFL’s San Francisco 49ers, citing among other things the plan’s lack of surface parking for fans’ pre- and post-game tailgate parties, announced they would focus on building a new stadium in the city of Santa Clara. Shortly after the team’s announcement, the city scrapped its bid for the 2016 Olympics. The new stadium was slated to host the opening and closing ceremonies.
