SAN FRANCISCO, (KCBS) -- The National Park Service is critical of the Presidio Trust's development plans. Plans for a contemporary art museum, hotel/restaurant and movie multiplex at the main post appear to violate Interior Department standards.
KCBS' Margie Shafer reports
Vice President of the Presidio Historical Association, Whitney Hall, believes the opinions carry a lot of weight. "It is said, something might be possible out there," Hall said. "At the same time they're pointing out dozens, literally dozens, of fatal flaws in the Trust position right now."
Those flaws include the appearance of more construction than is authorized by the Presidio Trust Act and the risk to its designation as a national historic landmark district.
A key component of the plan is construction of a museum for Gap founder Donald Fisher's contemporary art collection.
Alex Tourke, a representative for the Fisher Family Camp Project, disagrees. "With the utmost respect for the National Park Service, our hope is that as we continue to dialogue, we'll be able to hash out some of these concerns," Tourke said.
If plans move forward as expected, the Presidio Trust Board could vote on the project by the end of the year.
