Final EIR Report - Partially Revised
Final Environmental Impact Report
Project Description: The Project Applicant proposes to expand and redevelop the existing Flower Market facility between Maple Avenue and Wall Street, south of 7th Street, while maintaining the existing wholesale market. The existing property consists of two buildings, the north building (206,517 square feet) and the south building (185,111 square feet). Both buildings include open roof-top parking. The Applicant proposes to maintain and renovate the north building and its roof-top parking and will demolish the south building as part of development of a new mixed- use building with one level of subterranean parking. The new mixed-use development will consist of wholesale trade, retail, restaurant, office, and residential uses. The new Flower Market building (in place of the existing south building) would be 15 stories (12-story residential tower, over three stories of office, retail, restaurant, wholesale flower market, and parking) and 205 feet in height. The development program would consist of: 323 residential units (the Applicant providing 10% of the units [or approximately 32 units] for moderate income families), 64,363 square feet of office space, 4,385 square feet of retail space, 63,785 square feet of wholesale space and storage, 13,420 square feet of food and beverage space, and 10,226 square feet of event space. The Flower Market would continue to operate in the existing north building during and after the redevelopment.
