49ers' Stadium Update on Tap

SANTA CLARA, CA-The City Council will receive an update on the EIS process and hear from the Charter Review Committee regarding the legality of non-competitive design-build work for the stadium.

By Brian K. Miller | Updated on October 26, 2009

SANTA CLARA, CA-The Santa Clara City Council this week will receive an update on the draft environmental impact statement for a new NFL football stadium for the San Francisco 49ers. It will also receive a recommendation on whether it can move forward with non-competitive design-build work for the $937-million development deal.

The 68,500-seat stadium would be located next to the Santa Clara Convention Center, Great America Theme Park and the football team’s existing headquarters and training facility. The land would be leased from the city. Santa Clara voters will have the final say on the project sometime next year.

The 45-day deadline for comments on the draft environmental impact report was extended by a couple of weeks in early September but has now passed. The city and its consultant are currently responding to all of the agency and public comments received during the review period. Publication of the EIR, the comment letters and the written responses to those letters constitutes the Final EIR. The proposed final EIR is currently scheduled to go before the city’s planning commission next month for review and comment before being officially finalized by the City Council.
