Environmental Review and City Planning Process
The Kirkham Project’s Environmental Review and City Planning process is underway. In November 2014, they submitted an Environmental Evaluation Application (EEA) to the San Francisco Planning Department, which was the first step in initiating a multi-year process to identify the proposed development’s potential environmental impacts. We submitted our updated EEA to the Planning Department on June 10, 2015. The revised EEA provides an updated site plan and additional detail on open space, parking (autos, bike and loading), fire access, height, and building layout. The EEA is available on the Kirkham Project website at http://thekirkhamproject.com/
The Project’s planning and environmental review process will be guided by the recently assigned Neighborhood, Environmental and Transportation Planners within the SF Planning Department. Throughout the multi-year review process, there will be numerous opportunities for public review and comment. The neighborhood will be notified about the opportunity to review the EIR project scoping and analysis and attend formal community meetings. The results of these studies will be made available as part of their outreach. They anticipate the initial EIR scoping to take place during the first quarter of 2016.
San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) Improvements
Some of you have asked if there will be additional capacity provided for the N-Judah. They are pleased to report that the (SFMTA) has several major improvement projects for the Inner Sunset transit area planned, including the city-wide procurement of 175 new transit trains that will start arriving in 2016, more than doubling its fleet of light rail vehicles by 2020.
