I think that's what they meant--the tallest tower (zoning, really) on city or state-owned land that the TJPA can sell to raise money for the terminal (except the already spoken for TransBay tower site itself). The land they still have to sell is basically just land made available by tearing down the old freeway ramps. The other land covered by the rezoning is already in private hands or part of the tower/terminal complex already under negotiation.

I see now, thanks for explaining that to me. My idea of the difference between these sites was a little fuzzy, but now I see the intentions of the agency clearly. As for the ramp, I would have imagined some sort of joint venture between Caltrans, Pelli, and the agency. I also would imagine to see some bulldozing of the current bus skyway structure because a part of it seems to sit on the temporary terminal's plot of land, at least judging by the renderings made available.
