2012.0054E – Sunol Long Term Improvements Project: The San Francisco Public Utilities Commission (SFPUC) proposes to implement the Sunol Long Term Improvements (SLTI) Project (the “project”), which comprises two main elements: improvements to the existing Sunol Corporation Yard (Sunol Yard); and development of a new interpretive center, the Alameda Creek Watershed Center, in the vicinity of the Sunol Water Temple. The purpose of each element is as follows: 1) to improve the existing Sunol Yard by replacing outdated and no longer serviceable facilities with new structures in an updated facility layout, to efficiently provide operations and maintenance support to SFPUC operations in the East Bay area; and 2) to enhance the use and educational value of the Sunol Water Temple site through the establishment of an interpretive facility, which would provide information and activities that allow visitors to learn about and further appreciate the Alameda Creek Watershed. The project site is in a rural setting, south of the Town of Sunol and west of the State Route 84/Interstate 680 junction, in Alameda County, California. [T. JOHNSTON]

The Project would also construct a new publicly accessible pedestrian alley along the entirety of its western property line. Combined, the two new buildings would also include 388 vehicular parking spaces and 455 off-street bicycle parking spaces, divided between a two-level garage in the new northern building and a one-level garage in the new southern building. The project site is within the UMU (Urban Mixed Use) Use District and 48-X (southern portion) and 68-X (northern portion) Height and Bulk Districts. [Wietgrefe]
