The National Park Service Wants You!


Where we are now:

Between May 15 and June 2, the Golden Gate National Recreation Area Advisory
Commission will hold hearings at various locations in the Bay Area to receive
public comment on the Presidio Planning Guidelines, the overall plan-ning
process, and issues and concerns that need to be addressed in planning the
Presidio's future as a national park.

Where we are going:

In June, our Presidio Planning Team will respond to public comments by
finalizing the planning process and by beginning to collect and analyze the
information necessary to address the identified issues.  Later this summer, we
will share this information with you and ask you to help us envision a future
for the lands and buildings at the Presidio.  Planning-oriented tours of the
Presidio will be held throughout this phase.  We will hold a series of
workshops and meetings at which we will ask the question:  "What is your
concept of the future for the Presidio?"  We will also work directly with any
interested group in exploring ideas.  These RvisionS sessions will continue
into the fall.

The next step in the planning process will involve the synthesis of information
and the combination of different visions into the best Ralternative conceptsS
for the Presidio.  This phase will involve more public meetings and workshops,
and additional site tours.  An Alternatives Document will be distrib-uted to
the public by the National Park Service in the spring of 1991.

Based on public comments received on the alternatives, a Draft Plan and
Environmental Impact Statement for the Presidio will be prepared and presented
for your review in the winter of 1991-1992.  The draft plan will describe the
alternatives considered for future use and development of the Presidio,
including the alternative preferred by the National Park Service.  The
environmental impact statement will analyze the impacts of all the options.

Finally, in the fall of 1992, a Final Plan and Environmental Impact Statement
for the Presidio will be presented to the public.
