Coyote Point Eastern Promenade Mitigated Negative Declaration Addendum

The purpose of the proposed project is to develop a sustainable solution to the coastal erosion problem along the San Francisco Bay at the park shoreline while facilitating god public access to the beach and water for a variety of users, particularly swimmers and windsurfers. The project site is located along approx. 950 feet of SF Bay shoreline along the eastern promenade. Existing conditions along this area include shoreline protection features, promenade, restrooms, lawn area, and parking areas. The original Coyote Point Shoreline and Promenade Improvement project proposed improvements to two distinct areas; the eastern and western areas, and a MND was adopted in 2009. The western improvements were completed in 2014 and the remaining improvement under consideration are for the eastern area. These remaining improvements in the Eastern Promenade include creation of a crenulate-shaped bay, reconfigured/reconstructed and new parking areas, beach area, completing the pedestrian path network, landscape plantings and irrigation, grading and surface drainage of all planted areas, pedestrian pavements and walls, installation of a prefabricated restroom buildings, installation of site furniture including benches, bollards, fences, bike racks, trash receptacles and signage and the removal of the remnants of old wooden pilings at the water's edge. The general improvements proposed for the eastern promenade area are largely the same as those that were originally proposed, however, the methods to implement the improvements have been revised to reduce aquatic impacts and account for anticipated sea level rise. The Eastern Promenade Rejuvenation project proposes less earthwork (cut/fill and import/export amounts) than the formerly proposed project. In addition, the previous IS/MND identified several areas that could provide the additional parking required to off-set the loss of parking incurred by the project. However none of these previously identified parking areas is currently proposed to provide parking; instead a new parking area, located just to the east of the eastern promenade improvements in a sloped, forested areas is proposed to provide the needed parking.
