After reviewing the draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) I believe the document is inadequate and flawed and therefore does not fully comply with requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Among the reasons why are the following: - Demolition of Historic Buildings. All of the historically significant brick buildings on the 28+ acre industrial site will be destroyed under plans for the proposed project. These unique structures are representative of the City<U+2019>s famed industrial past at Potrero Point in the mid-19th to early 20th centuries. Alternatives presented in the DEIR fail to both adequately preserve these structures and mitigate multiple significant impacts of the proposed project. - A Wall of Highrises. The developer plans to erect one high-rise tower that<U+2019>ll reach 300 feet in height, and construct multiple other buildings ranging between 90 to 180 feet in height. Collectively, they will form a huge wall along the public waterfront. The development will be considerably taller and denser than what was approved for the adjacent Pier 70 project. - Major Shadowing of Open Spaces. The recreational space planned for this project will be minimal and much of the open space will be compromised by shadowing from overly tall buildings. - More Traffic, Transit Delay, Dirty Air. The draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR) for the Potrero Power Station acknowledges: the project will burden the City<U+2019>s public transit system with more demand and delays <U+2013> impacts that the DEIR admits cannot be mitigated; substantial noise and decline in air quality will occur during many years of construction; and traffic will be so bad that it will permanently increase air pollution to levels that violate air quality standards. For all of the above reasons, I urge you to reject the project as currently proposed and require additional alternatives that will mitigate the more serious and significant impacts of the project.

Potrero Power Station Mixed Use Case 2017-011878ENVGood morning Honorable Members of the SF Planning Commission. I'm sorry I will be unable to attend this mornings 11/08/2018 meeting. However, I fully support item number 13 on your agenda <U+2013> DEIR - 2017-011878ENV - POTRERO POWER STATION <U+2013> Draft Environmental Impact Report.

I'm sorry I will be unable to attend this mornings 11/08/2018 meeting. However, I fully support item number 13 on your agenda <U+2013> DEIR - 2017-011878ENV - POTRERO POWER STATION <U+2013> Draft Environmental Impact Report. I'm currently reviewing this DEIR and as noted, I will submit my comments to this DEIR by November 19, 2018. Both the Developer and the San Francisco Planning Department has done a fine job with this Document. Let me rough in my initial comments. Your Recommendation; Review and Comments, good or bad - can help in expediting the RTC process and getting a final Certification. This Mixed use Project shows great promise. This area has several major, if not many other projects both in the pipeline and under review. All these projects will help this semi blighted area in it's revitalization. This includes Table 2-1 on pages 2-14 of Volume 1 which pretty much says it all <U+2013> a well thought out Project from the Developer with a good use of retail and office space, 2,682 housing units, hotel, PDR and more. Wow where else can you get so many units to be added to the our City? I see this as another ideal project that will bring so much additional housing, retail, office, PDF and other mixed use to this area. Just think per table 2-1 it shows an additional 2,682 housing units from this Project alone. I hope we do not loose the opportunity to get this project approved. Only because I feel that these Developers are moving on with their projects some where else, only because so much time passes on with this process, construction costs keep rising and it hurts their bottom line. Okay, as usual, said enough, more of my comments will be submitted later. I'm a resident of San Francisco for more than 74 Plus years. Now retired. Can I have everyone<U+2019>s support on this Project too? If you have any question regarding my email, please reach out and let me know what your concerns are. Please include this as part of the DEIR Document/file. Honorable Commissioners with all that said, can I have your support and any comments to help expedite this project thru the system, as I believe it will help with the RTC.
