GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION
Public Building Service; Notice of Availability; Final Master
Site Plan and Final Environmental Impact Statement for the Denver
Federal Center, Lakewood, CO
AGENCY: Public Building Service, General Services Administration.
ACTION: Notice of Availability.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act of
1969, and the President's Council on Environmental Quality Regulations
(40 CFR Parts 1500-1508), as implemented by General Services
Administration (GSA) Order PBS P 1095.4D, GSA announces its Notice of
Availability (NOA) of the Final Master Site Plan Final Environmental
Impact Statement (FEIS) for the Denver Federal Center in Lakewood,
Colorado. GSA proposes to implement a Master Site Plan for the Denver
Federal Center, a federal facility, that addresses opportunities for
future site redevelopment. The Draft Environmental Impact Statement
presented two action alternatives, the Federal Quad Alternative and the
Federal Mall Alternative; and a No Action Alternative. Subsequent to
public review and comment, GSA determined that the Federal Quad
Alternative, with modifications, would be the preferred alternative.
The Federal Quad Alternative, with modifications, is the concept
identified in the Final Master Site Plan.
DATES: GSA will execute a Record of Decision (ROD) based on the FEIS no
sooner than March 3, 2008, or 30 days after the date of publication of
this Notice of Availability in the Federal Register and after
publication of the related notice by the Environmental Protection
Agency.
ADDRESSES: To obtain copies of the Master Site Plan and FEIS, contact
Lisa Dorsey Wild (formerly Morpurgo), Senior Project Manager, at the
U.S. General Services Administration, Rocky Mountain Region, Denver
Federal Center Service Center (8PD), P.O. Box 25546, Building 41,
Denver Federal Center, Denver, CO, 80225-0546. Or visit the Web site at
http://www.gsa.gov/dfcsiteplan and follow the instructions.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Lisa Dorsey Wild at (303) 236.8000
ext. 5039, by fax at 303-236-5328, e-mail at dfcsiteplan@gsa.gov, or
mail at the above-listed address.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Denver Federal Center is a 640-acre
secured federal facility operated by
[[Page 6185]]
GSA. The Federal Center was acquired in 1941 by the U.S. government and
is currently used for office, research, and administrative purposes by
26 federal agencies. There are approximately 4 million square feet of
space in approximately 50 active buildings at the Federal Center, and
there are approximately 6,000 on-site employees. The site, formerly
part of unincorporated Jefferson County, Colorado, was recently annexed
into the City of Lakewood. Annexation has no affect on the federal
ownership or management of the site. GSA recently sold 65 of the
facility the City of Lakewood through the federal land disposal process
for construction of an inter-modal transit station and relocation of
St. Anthony Hospital. GSA proposes to implement a new Master Site Plan
for the Federal Center that will address new opportunities for site
development. The FEIS, prepared to comply with the National
Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), evaluates the proposed Master Site
Plan alternatives and identifies the environmental effects associated
with implementing the proposed alternatives. The Draft Master Site Plan
and draft Environmental Impact Statement released in April 2007,
evaluated two action alternatives, the Federal Quad Alternative and the
Federal Mall Alternative; and a No Action Alternative. Under the No
Action Alternative, GSA would not implement a new Master Site Plan for
the Federal Center. Though currently planned upgrades to site
infrastructure would move forward contingent upon funding, existing
resources would not be leveraged to attract capital to the site, a new
vision for growth would not be established, and the value and appeal of
the Federal Center site would not be maximized. Under the No Action
alternative, it would become increasingly difficult to maintain the
resources on the site to serve Federal tenants and overall community
needs. During the public review and comment period conducted between
May and June 2007, over 300 hundred individual comments were received
from 198 tenants, neighbors, groups, city, state, and federal offices.
The Federal Quad concept, with modifications, is identified in the
Final Master Site Plan and as the preferred alternative named in the
FEIS. The defining characteristic of the Federal Quad Alternative is
the central ``Quad'' that would be located in the center of the Federal
Center site. The enhanced streetscapes throughout the campus would
encourage area employees and residents to walk to and from transit and
into adjacent districts. The Quad would be the heart of the plan and
would be woven into the fabric of the surrounding neighborhoods and
commercial districts via road and land use connections. The Quad would
be surrounded by complementary office buildings, including secure
federal buildings, non-secure federal buildings, and research
buildings. A total of 227 acres (or approximately 36 percent of the
total site) would be designated for open space use. The Federal Quad
Alternative includes a development plan with approximately 3.6 million
gross square feet of new development, plus 1,400 residential units,
organized around a formal open space/park area that suggests a
university campus setting. The primary change in this alternative
between the Draft Master Site Plan and the Final is additional
residential units in the northwest area of the site in the vicinity of
the anticipated transit-orientated development and intermodal station.
The modified Federal Quad Alternative as presented in the Final Master
Site Plan for the Federal Center reflects GSA's preferred development
strategy.
