Bay FC Training Facility on Treasure Island

Bay FC Training Facility on Treasure Island

The proposed project would construct a professional women's soccer training facility for Bay FC of the National Women's Soccer League. The approximately 8.5-acre "Phase I Property" project site is located towards the center of Treasure Island (Assessor's Block 8925), with 9th Street to the north, Avenue H (Macky Way) to the east, and 5th Street (Golden Bell Way) to the south, and the future Passiflora Way Extension to the west. The project site contains a two-story commercial building approximately 50,000 square feet in size and stockpile soil associated with the Treasure Island/Verba Buena Island Development Project. The modified project would demolish the existing two-story building, remove the stockpile soil, grade the project site, and construct a soccer facility consisting of a25-foot-tall, approximately 25,000-square-foot athletic training building, three full-sized soccer fields, and approximately 76 vehicle parking spaces would be provided on or immediately adjacent to the Phase I Property for Bay FC team use. The athletic training building would include indoor and outdoor facilities for Bay FC team use, including but not limited to athletic training, conditioning, weight rooms, medical and wellness treatment, food preparation and dining, laundry, locker rooms, lounges, meeting and event areas, and spaces for athletic staff offices. The building would be supported on a concrete slab or micro-piles. The three soccer practice fields would include two natural grass fields and one artificial turf field, with irrigation systems. Ball stop nets at a height of approximately 32 feet above grade would be provided along the perimeter of the three practice fields. A field bubble or other weatherproof temporary cover may be provided on one field at certain times of year to allow for practices to be held in inclement weather. The temporary cover would be a maximum of 80 feet above grade. Amplified sound and lighting would be provided to serve the practice fields. One practice field would have up to four 75-foot-tall lights positioned at the field perimeter to allow for use of the practice fields during the evenings. The lights would typically be activated at dusk approximately 2-3 times a month for specialty training sessions or community sporting events and would operate at 100 or 60 percent capacity until 10 pm:' The proposed lights are designed to concentrate the light on the field area with minimal light emitted outside the targeted areas. The proposed lighting system, which is specifically designed for sports fields, would be equipped with spill and glare shielding. The light system would be designed to focus the light on the field evenlywhile minimizing the spread of light upward and beyond the project site boundaries. A potential Phase II of the project could provide up to three additional soccer fields on a 7.5-acre site (the "Phase II Property") east of the Phase I Property. The specific programing for the Phase II Property would be subject to a public space planning process to be conducted in the future.
