Project Description:

The Project would involve construction of separate mixed-use developments within the Project site by individual Project Sponsors, which would consist of residential, live-work and retail uses, along with non-retail commercial space. The various developments would consist primarily of residential uses, totaling 1,570 dwelling units, including units in converted warehouses. Commercial space would include 13,000 square feet (sf) of neighborhood-serving commercial uses plus 14,487 sf associated with the historic Southern Pacific 16th Street Train Station. The Main Hall of the Station between 16th and 17th Streets would be restored for reuse; the associated 16th Street Signal Tower also would be restored. A 94,479 sf Warehouse on Pine Street would be reused as lofts. Public open space, consisting of a public plaza in front of the Station's Main Hall and five pocket parks totaling 1.39 acres (60,670 sf) would be provided. In addition, 2.82 acres (122,925 sf) of private open space, which would be accessible to Project residents, would also be created. All other existing commercial and industrial floor area would be demolished. This is referred to as the "Maximum Residential Scenario." Specific land uses for some portions of the Project site would remain flexible to best respond to future market conditions, allowing for an emphasis on commercial rather than residential uses. To that end, this EIR also evaluates a "Maximum Commercial Scenario," which would consist of 1,084 dwelling units and 539,266 sf of commercial space. The provision of private open space would total 88,350 sf. The remainder of the development program would remain the same as that under the Maximum Residential Scenario.
