See notice of hearing text below:

The Final EIR for the Burlingame Point Project at 300 Airport Boulevard, Burlingame, CA is now available for review. The Document is available on our website - City of Burlingame, California : Burlingame Point Project (former Drive-In Theater)



The Final EIR consists of responses to the comments received during the review period of the Draft EIR, and revisions made to the Draft EIR in response to these comments. Because there were a lot of comments regarding potential wind-related recreation impacts, a Master Response was prepared to address these comments. The Master Response is found in Section 3 of the Final EIR document. The remaining responses are found in Section 4 - Written Comments and Responses and in Section 5 - Oral Comments and Responses. Appendix 1 contains the Technical Responses to Questions Raised related to wind-related recreation impacts, and Appendix 2 consists of Wind Speed and Turbulence data.

The Draft EIR for the project is also available for download on the above website page.

A particularly interesting part of the EIR is the "Appendix I Wind Tunnel Report". It says there is "no impact to windsurfing launches" <<<<this is BS!! and I doubt they took account of a westerly wind direction.

Looking at the site map in that document, there is another plot of land next
to fisherman's point that says "future developement". This is 350 Airport Blvd. We should push Burlingame to put a park there WITH A LAUNCH and lots of parking for mitigation. Another building there would be even worse for our inside wind.

Note that they plan to re-route Airport blvd and improve some of the
shoreline between fishhermans pt and the beach, but not upwind of fishermans pt.

I sail at Coyote all the time and am concerned about this potential development. I will be out of the country on this date. Is there anything I and others who can't make it to this hearing can do to make our voices heard?
