Proposal:

Public
Hearing on (1) certification of the Final Environmental Impact
Report, (2) a proposal to develop a residential, live-work, retail, and other
commercial mixed use development. The
site would be redeveloped with up to 1,570 residential units, including 186
live/work units, some in converted warehouses. Commercial space would include 13,000 s.f. of
neighborhood-serving commercial uses plus up to 15,000 s.f. of civic uses
associated with the historic Southern Pacific 16th Street train
station. The project proposes
retention of the main hall and a portion of the elevated tracks of the 16th

Standards. Historic structures
proposed for demolition include a portion of the 16th Street Train
Station elevated tracks and the entire baggage wing section of the Train
Station. Public open space,
consisting of a public plaza in front of the station’s main hall and five

private open space will be created for residents.
