Ending a contentious two-year planning process, the federal agency that oversees the Presidio has adopted a 30-year master plan.
"The 174-page plan describes how the federal agency will preserve historic buildings, restore open space and protect the park's natural beauty -- and generate enough income to be financially self-sufficient by 2013, the year federal subsidies will end... The master plan will become the framework for future decisions on how many new buildings will be constructed in the Presidio, how many -- and when -- existing apartments will be demolished and replaced, what programs will be offered and who will pay for them, which natural areas will be restored and what types of tenants will be sought for commercial space."
