A public hearing will be held on the adequacy and accuracy ofthis document on March 17, 1994 Afterthe public hearing, our office will prepare and publish a document titled "Summary of Comments and Responses" which will contain a summary of all relevant comments on this Draft Supplemental EIR and the original Draft EIR, as well as our responses to those comments. It may also specify changes to the Draft EIR or the Draft Supplemental EIR. Thosewhotestifyatthehearingorsubmitwritten commentsonthe DraftSupplemental EIR will automatically receive a copy of the Comments and Responses document along with notice of the date reserved for certification of a Final EIR; others may receive such copies and notice on request or by visiting our office. This Draft Supplemental EIR, together with the original Draft EIR and the Summary of Comments and Responsesdocument, will be considered bythe City Planning Commission in an advertised public meeting and certified as a Final EIR, if deemed adequate, accurate and objective. After certification, we will modify the Draft Supplemental EIR and the original Draft EIR as specified by the Comments and Responses document and print both documents in a single publication called the Final Environmental Impact Report (EIR). The Final EIR will add no new information to the combination of the previous documents exceptto reproduce the certification resolution. It will simply provide the information in one rather than three documents. Therefore, if you receive a copy of the Comments and Responses document in addition tothis copy ofthe Draft Supplemental EIR and the Draft EIR, you will technically have a copy of the Final EIR. We are aware that many people who receive the Draft EIR and the Summary of Comments and Responses have no interest in receiving virtually the same information after the EIR has been certified. To avoid expending moneyand paper needlessly, we would liketo send copies ofthe Final EIR to private individuals only they request them. if If you want a copy ofthe Final EIR, please so indicate in the space provided on the next page and mail the request to the Office of Environmental Review within two weeks after certification of the Final EIR. Any private party not requesting the Final EIR by that time will not be mailed a copy. Public agencies on the distribution list will automatically receive a copy of the Final EIR. Copies will also be available at the Department of City Planning, 450 McAllister Street, 6th Floor. San Francisco, CA 94102. Thank you for your interest in this project.
