ABOUT THE BRISBANE BAYLANDS DEVELOPMENT:

The Brisbane Baylands encompasses approximately 660 acres, generally bordered on the west by Bayshore Boulevard, north by the City and County of San Francisco, east by the U.S. Hwy 101 causeway, and south by Brisbane Lagoon. It is comprised of a former municipal landfill and former rail yard, and presents both exciting opportunities and formidable challenges for the City. The site’s history left a legacy of contamination requiring millions of dollars and years of remediation, which is still ongoing. Yet the remediated site holds the promise of enhanced environmental quality, opportunities for use and enjoyment by Brisbane residents via trails and enhanced open spaces, and new sustainable development contributing to the City’s economic health, social diversity, and environment.

The City is committed to a planning process which engages the community and maximizes opportunities for open dialogue and input along with public review and comment. You may direct general comments or questions regarding the Baylands to [email protected]. Also, for general information on past and future activities, agenda reports and presentations, see the Sequence of Events. Some of the most commonly asked questions may be viewed at FAQs.

Additional Information

City-Initiated Baylands Survey

The Baylands survey results may be reviewed here. The City Council received a presentation from the City’s survey consultants regarding these results on October 27, 2015. This was a mail-in survey sent to all registered voters in Brisbane to gauge community opinions and attitudes on a number of issues pertaining to the Baylands. The survey was sent out on August 25, 2015 with a response deadline of September 12, 2015. The survey results are an important factor in the City’s decision-making process for the Baylands.

Fiscal/Economic Analysis of Potential Future Development for the Baylands

The City hired an independent consultant (Keyser Marston Associates) to evaluate some of the fiscal/economic issues associated with potential future development of the Baylands. Specifically they analyzed the potential fiscal impacts of some development scenarios on the City of Brisbane’s General Fund, and looked at broader economic feasibility considerations pertaining to future development. Please visit the Fiscal and Economic Information page to review the reports and view the presentation.
