SAN FRANCISCO - The San Francisco Board of Supervisors voted unanimously this evening to affirm the Final Subsequent Environmental Impact Report certification for the proposed multi-use arena for the Golden State Warriors in the Mission Bay neighborhood.
After more than four hours of public comment and dialogue on the impact of the stadium to the community and the environment, from individuals both for and against the development, the board voted unanimously to approve the report's certification, giving the project the green light.
The appeal of the report, submitted by the Mission Bay Alliance, a coalition of UCSF stakeholders and San Franciscan voters concerned with the potential negative impacts of the arena, was based on concerns that the project will be too close to the recently constructed University of California at San Francisco Medical Center.
