Before the

"The Board of Supervisors finds
that the Final Environmental Impact Report for the proposed New M.
H. de Young Museum Project is not adequate, accurate and objective
in all portions, that its conclusions are not correct in all portions,
and that the findings contained in the Planning Commission’s certification
are not correct in all portions. The Board of Supervisors directs
the Planning Commission and Planning Department, in specific, and
consistent with the findings of the Board of Supervisors, to revise
the FEIR to include corrections and related environmental analysis,
as may be appropriate under CEQA (California Environmental Quality
Act), on the following issues: (1) errors and discrepancies in the
shadow impacts analysis relative to the height of the Tower; (2) errors
and discrepancies in the visual impacts analysis relative to the height
of the Tower; (3) updating and correcting the Project description
relative to the height of the Tower and to other information now available
regarding the proposed Project design; and (4) broadening and correcting
the description and related impacts analysis of the Project environmental
setting relative to existing and potentially qualified historic resources,
currently addressed in the FEIR pages C&R 80 - C&R 82."
