Board approves reversal of mitigated negative declaration for 110 The Embarcadero after amendment
Summary
The Board amended and approved findings reversing a previously adopted mitigated negative declaration for 110 The Embarcadero, adding language to account for past, current and reasonably foreseeable projects in the cumulative analysis.
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors on March 31 adopted findings reversing the Planning Commission's mitigated negative declaration for a project at 110 The Embarcadero, agreeing to an amendment that expands the cumulative-project language in the environmental finding.
Supervisor Chris Daly moved an amendment to add two words so the cumulative analysis would read that the "project together with other past, current, and reasonably foreseeable proposed future projects" be considered; the motion was seconded by Supervisor David Chiu (as recorded on the floor). Without objection the board adopted the amendment and approved the item on a roll-call vote of 8 ayes and 3 noes.
The amendment clarifies the scope of cumulative impacts to include past, present and reasonably foreseeable future projects when determining whether the project at 110 The Embarcadero requires further environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The board did not provide additional specifics on mitigation measures on the record; the action reverses the Planning Commission's earlier determination and directs the administrative record to reflect the board's amended findings.
The motion to approve the item as amended received 8 ayes and 3 noes and was recorded as adopted.
