49Ers SANTA CLARA STADIUM PROJECT DRAFT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT 49ers SANTA CLARA STADIUM PROJECT VOLUME I of III EIR Text City of Santa Clara July 2009 PREFACE The document has been prepared by the City of Santa Clara as the Lead Agency, in conformance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). The purpose of this Environmental Impact Report (EIR) is to inform decision makers and the general public of the environmental effects of the proposed project. This document provides environmental review appropriate for the approval of the proposed 49ers Santa Clara Stadium project in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Sections 15121, 15145, and 15151. Purpose of the EIR In accordance with CEQA, this EIR provides objective information regarding the environmental consequences of the proposed project to the decision makers who will be considering and reviewing the proposed project. The CEQA Guidelines contain the following general information on the role of an EIR and its contents: §15121(a). Informational Document. An EIR is an informational document, which will inform public agency decision makers, and the public of the significant environmental effects of a project, identify possible ways to minimize the significant effects, and describe reasonable alternatives to the project. The public agency shall consider the information in the EIR, along with other information that may be presented to the agency. §15145. Speculation. If, after thorough investigation, a Lead Agency finds that a particular impact is too speculative for evaluation, the agency should note its conclusion and terminate discussion of the impact. §15151. Standards for Adequacy of an EIR. An EIR should be prepared with a sufficient degree of analysis to provide decision-makers with information that enables them to make a decision that intelligently considers environmental consequences. An evaluation of the environmental effects of the proposed project need not be exhaustive, but the sufficiency of an EIR is to be reviewed in light of what is reasonably feasible. Disagreement among experts does not make an EIR inadequate, but the EIR should summarize the main points of disagreement among the experts. The courts have looked not for perfection, but for adequacy, completeness, and a good-faith effort at full disclosure. In accordance with Section 15082 of the CEQA Guidelines, a Notice of Preparation (NOP) was circulated to the public and responsible agencies for input regarding the analysis in this EIR. This EIR addresses those issues which were raised by the public and responsible agencies in response to the NOP. The NOP and the responses to the NOP are presented in Appendix M of this EIR. This EIR, and all documents referenced in this EIR, are available for public review in the Department of Planning and Inspection, 1500 Warburton Ave Santa Clara, California, on weekdays during normal business hours. i TABLE OF CONTENTS PREFACE……………………………………………………………………………………... i SUMMARY…………………………………………………………………………………… vii Section 1.0 – Introduction and Purpose……………………………………………………... 1 1.1

  • An Analysis of the American Outdoor Sport Facility: Developing an Ideal Type on the Evolution of Professional Baseball and Football Structures
    AN ANALYSIS OF THE AMERICAN OUTDOOR SPORT FACILITY: DEVELOPING AN IDEAL TYPE ON THE EVOLUTION OF PROFESSIONAL BASEBALL AND FOOTBALL STRUCTURES DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Chad S. Seifried, B.S., M.Ed. * * * * * The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Donna Pastore, Advisor Professor Melvin Adelman _________________________________ Professor Janet Fink Advisor College of Education Copyright by Chad Seifried 2005 ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to analyze the physical layout of the American baseball and football professional sport facility from 1850 to present and design an ideal-type appropriate for its evolution. Specifically, this study attempts to establish a logical expansion and adaptation of Bale’s Four-Stage Ideal-type on the Evolution of the Modern English Soccer Stadium appropriate for the history of professional baseball and football and that predicts future changes in American sport facilities. In essence, it is the author’s intention to provide a more coherent and comprehensive account of the evolving professional baseball and football sport facility and where it appears to be headed. This investigation concludes eight stages exist concerning the evolution of the professional baseball and football sport facility. Stages one through four primarily appeared before the beginning of the 20th century and existed as temporary structures which were small and cheaply built. Stages five and six materialize as the first permanent professional baseball and football facilities. Stage seven surfaces as a multi-purpose facility which attempted to accommodate both professional football and baseball equally.

  • R. C. Owens: Alley Oop
    THE COFFIN CORNER: Vol. 9, No. 9 (1987) R. C. OWENS: ALLEY OOP By Joseph Hession From Forty Niners: Looking Back It seemed unlikely that a rookie receiver playing in his sixth NFL game would leap into the stratosphere, gram a 50-yard pass above Detroit's All-Pro secondary and score a winning touchdown with 10 seconds on the clock. But that's exactly what R. C. Owens did in 1957 when he and Y.A. Tittle made the Alley-Oop pass as much a part of San Francisco as Coit Tower and the Golden Gate Bridge. Owens' touchdown reception against the Lions that day was not the first time the Alley-Oop was put to use, but it was certainly the most dramatic. San Francisco trailed Detroit, 31-28, with 1:20 to play. The 49ers had the ball on their own 38-yard line. Three straight pass completions by Tittle moved the ball to the Lions' 42. There was 11 seconds to go. Everyone at Kezar Stadium knew what was coming. The Lions completely surrounded Owens all the way downfield. Tittle let fly a rocket that sailed about 50 yards in the air. In the end zone, All-Pro Jack Christiansen covered Owens along with Jim David. Owens leapt, grabbed the pigskin over the defenders and scored. San Francisco won, 35-31. "That Detroit game was probably the most satisfying win for me," Owens said. "Detroit had just scored to go ahead and Abe Woodson made a good kick return. Y.A. went to work after that.
