NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the Palo Alto Municipal Golf Course ReconďŹ guration and Baylands Athletic Center Expansion Project in the City of Palo Alto has been prepared. The Final EIR responds to comments received during the public review period if the Draft EIR and makes revisions to the Draft EIR, as necessary, in response to these comments. Project Location: The proposed project is located at 1875 Embarcadero Road and 1900 Geng Road in northern Palo Alto, on Assessor’s Parcel Numbers (APN) 008-06-001 and 008-002-032. The project site is approximately 175.8 acres in size, east of U.S. 101 and is bound by San Francisquito Creek to the north and west, the Palo Alto Airport of Santa Clara County to the east, and Embarcadero Road to the south. Project Description: The City is proposing a project to reconďŹ gure the Palo Alto Municipal Golf Course and expand the existing Baylands Athletic Center. The Project would reconďŹ gure all 18 holes of the Golf Course, a portion of the driving range and practice facility, and replace a restroom facility, while retaining a regulation golf course with a par of 71. The reconďŹ gured Golf Course would be designed with a Baylands theme that would incorporate or modify the existing low-lying areas into the Golf Course, reduce the area of managed turf, and introduce areas of native grassland and wetland habitat. In addition to reconďŹ guring the Golf Course, the City is proposing to incorporate 10.5 acres of the existing Golf Course into the Athletic Center. The design and scale of the Athletic Center expansion are yet to be ďŹ nalized. For the purposes of this EIR, it is assumed that the Athletic Center expansion would include a maximum of ďŹ ve full-size athletic playing ďŹ elds with additional parking and lighting. The existing baseball ďŹ eld and softball ďŹ eld at the Athletic Center would not change. Construction activities for the Golf Course reconďŹ guration would begin in early 2014 and last approximately 11 months. Following the completion of the turf installation, there would be a grass turf grow-in period of approximately 5 months. It is anticipated that the Golf Course would be closed to the public for approximately 16 months between Spring 2014 and Summer 2015. The ďŹ nal design and construction schedule for the Athletic Center Expansion have not yet been determined. The proposed project would have unavoidable signiďŹ cant impacts with regard to aesthetics (lighting) and short-term air quality. The project site is included on a hazardous materials/ contaminated sites list (Cortese list) compiled pursuant to Government Code Section 65962.5. Availability of the Final Environmental Impact Report: Copies of the Final EIR will be available for review beginning on January 22, 2014 at the following locations: UĂŠ ÂˆĂŒĂžĂŠÂœvĂŠ*>Â?ÂœĂŠ Â?ĂŒÂœ]ĂŠ iĂ›iÂ?ÂœÂŤÂ“iÂ˜ĂŒĂŠ iÂ˜ĂŒiĂ€]ĂŠĂ“nxĂŠ >“ˆÂ?ĂŒÂœÂ˜ĂŠ Ă›iÂ˜Ă•i]ĂŠÂŁĂƒĂŒĂŠ Â?ÂœÂœĂ€]ĂŠ*>Â?ÂœĂŠ Â?ĂŒÂœ]ĂŠ`Ă•Ă€ÂˆÂ˜}ĂŠLĂ•ĂƒÂˆÂ˜iĂƒĂƒĂŠÂ…ÂœĂ•Ă€Ăƒ]ĂŠ œ˜`>އ Friday, 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., (650) 329-2496.
