Tuesday Mayor Edwin M. Lee, the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) and the Golden State Warriors announced several preliminary agreements related to the proposed sports and entertainment complex in Mission Bay, which the Warriors plan to privately finance and build on a vacant lot near the new UCSF Medical Center at Third and 16th Streets.
If, after completing an environmental impact report (EIR) for the Warriors’ proposed Event Center and associated development and conducting a robust public hearing process, the City’s Office of Community Investment and Infrastructure (OCII) ultimately approves the project and various City Commissions and the Board of Supervisors take actions on the project, the preliminary agreements will take effect and address traffic and other access issues to UCSF’s satisfaction.
