As you know, we have talked in the past we have been working with the Development Partner to redesign Candlestick Point. We are happy and excited to share with you what we have come up with. I want to extend my appreciation to the team and ocii led by lila and sally and aaron and the extended team working with this. There are so many of them i wont name, but the few take aways is that as a result of them moving away to date the developer is doing infrastructure work. What is proposed is reduction every tail of the retail space. We are converting some of the residential units. We are able to advance some of those. Over 400 will be advanced. The cpo2 reviewed did not have housing on the outfield now we propose to increase 480 units. We are removing the tower and making adjustments to height, making changes Top Community facility space. Reduction in the overall Retail Program in Candlestick Point and neighborhood changes which the team will be presenting on. I do want to know what this entails is extensive changes to major documents in phase one, infrastructure plan and design for development. Without giving or going over too much we will have someone from five point present and lila will come at the end for an overview. Both teams will be present to respond to questions. I want to thank the team for the extensive work. It has taken a long time to come here. What we have done differently is Community Engagement reflected today. I will turn it over to terries from five point. Thank you for your time this afternoon. I am terries breck key, senior r directoseniordirector of planni. I am presents proposed amendments to the major phase application and cor anchor resp korresponding changes to the schedule of performance. Before we start here, i will go over agenda for this afternoon which is really to describe our purpose. What our vision is for this community. Why are we here . What do we want to achieve . Lets begin there. We will then comp some background information, particularly for those in the community who may not be as familiar with the project as you are, and then we will be talking about the changes themselves and, of course, next steps. So first a bit of orientation. This was an ariel. It is a little dated taken in 2016. I thought it was a good example of progress made to date. What you see on the aerial itself is that the stadium is taken down. You can see on the edges o on te north edge and on this edge here along what is going to be harney way west. What is necessary to compact sochsochithesoils. In the tiny corner which is better on the printed version. You can see beginning to take shape what we have 337 families now moved in to homes in Alice Griffith. We are very pleased about that. Lets talk a moment about our first. First it is to create an economic engine for this community. We have talked for a number of years about the fact that the navy has gone away and Jobs Associated with the navy since it closed in 1974 need to come alive again in this community. We need that. We have created a plan that creates the same number of jobs as the prior plan. We have also then with this new plan expanded the range of Job Opportunities for a greater number of talent and education in the community, people can live and work within the bayview itself. The next job building housing. Our job is to build more housing sooner. We have been advancing more and more housing in our Development Plans over time, and in fact have done that more recently in some of the Schematic Design approvals where we have been making additions to what was previously planned for these sites. We have very happy about that. There are a couple things to point out for you that are important. One is that in this first major phase of development, 39 of all the hissing units are af the Housing Units are affordable Housing Units. We also have another important fact, which is within the project as a total, when you consider candlestick and shipyard together and look at all of the Affordable Housing proposed, which is a total of 3,345 units, of that you have over half is at a 60 a. M. I. Or below. We are really. I think that is important that is something that is important to the community itself. Now, you had begun to jump start this new plan when a year ago you made a recommendation to the board of supervisors to approve some amendments to the reDevelopment Plans, and those amendments allow for greater flexibility. They allow for the conversion of uses as we are proposing today, conversion every tail to office afof the retail to office. And to transfe transfer the offm ship yard to candlestick. The plans include that transfer of development. Our overall plan for success is jobs, housing, and other important benefits to the community such as Community Benefits program, of course. Then we have transit and other elements that are going to remain in place as always proposed. Similarly with parks and open space. Another important matter to the community is child care. Now, under this current plan we are required as a developer to contribute to a Child Care Fund or to establish child care on site. We are going to prioritize establishing child care on site. We do believe it is an important element of this project. It is tied to the office and hotel Square Footages. To provide you with just a little bit of background here, again, some of this is for those who may be viewing on television and out in the audience. We have our plan for candlestick is developed in three major phases. One is shown in tan. Green is two. In the yellow is major phase three. Within major phase one there, is a lot of work done to date. You have seen a number of blocks with housing and retail at the ground floor that have received your approval for Schematic Designs. We are very happy about that status. As i mentioned earlier, what is identified cpo1, that is where the housing for the 337 families in Alice Griffith is. As i mentioned, the Community Benefits program remains. All of the Community Benefits associated with the plan since we initially signed our disposition and Development Agreement remain. That includes things like education, scholarships, job training, Community Wellness. All of that remains intact. What also remains intact is our hiring goals. Our goal is to use good faith efforts to extend hiring for both construction as well as permanent jobs. First to the bayview residents and then to the greater San Francisco. So that is our goal, that is the goal we have been working towards to date on the work that we have done to date, and that is our commitment into the future. Proposed changes. The quick summary of the proposed changes that i will get into in detail in a moment is more housing and more office. We have reduced the amount every tail, but what we have done is right sized retail. Retail is critical to forming a community. It is necessary to get services to go to the drugstore and shopping and dining in your neighborhood so that is why retail remains. Retail in a large mall as our partner proposed is not a good solution in todays time because of the direction in moving towards more ecommerce as well as people spending money on travel and just personal Life Wellness activities. This shows the comparison. On the left the last major phase was approved in march 2016. To left is the plan approved and indicated in the pink is the regional retail mall. It was a mixed use community that included residential on thn harney. We think it is important and so that is also continuing into our new project. In the new land use plan, we have a center, the hotel remains and was mentioned earlier, we have added 428 Housing Units. Among those are 104 senior Housing Units at 60 and below a. M. I. This again is by sub phase. You can see the outlines of the boundary of the land use. Cpo1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, all within the first major phase. Can you point out where the Film Art Center is in. Use the little arrow, the arrow on the computer. Can someone hel help her . We are a little older on this side of the table trying to figure out the technical aspects of it. It is the pink and blue. The blue at that corner is to represent is center. There will be ground floor retail. That is why it is pink. Do you want me to go this way . No, i see it. All right. Thank you. So here is the comparison, summary slide what we talked to. Is major message we converted retail to profile more office. We are going to continue to provide Community Facilities. These are Spaces Available to local businesses and so we are hoping to draw local businesses in. You may have a business somewhere on third and decide it is a great time to expand, i want to expand into candlestick. Now, i am drilling down into the detail. On Candlestick Point, we sometimes refer to it as you have an outfield and infield. We are going back to the giants days. I will go through the Development Program according to the outfield and infield. In the outfield the office i have spoken of is depicted in blue. Those are the blue buildings, and they are backed up along walker. In the yellow and orange in the outfield is where we have housing and in the red that is meant to depict something such as market hall food court, that kind every tail space. There is also some retail at the ground floor of the residential buildings. On the infield is where we have the Film Art Center in the bright blue and hotel in the yellow and then, of course, the Senior Housing in brown and other housing shown in yellow. Design for development updates. So because we have a new plan, it is important that the design for this new plan be consistent with design character that we want for candlestick so we have added some new standards to our design for development guidelines. We have maximum building dimensions and coverage described to ensure the balance of urban character and open spaces. In addition, there are certain standards that have been added for design articulation. Facade treatments a number of ways to break down the building massing. You can step back buildings, use certain treatments that articulate and breakdown building mass so there is more standard as it relates to doing just that. The other important standard is the standard for activation. It is important for us at the ground floor to have uses that are engaging as the pedestrians move through the site. The primary change on the height is along walker drive. I will review these individually with you. On the left you can see the approved heights from 2016. The orange depicts 65 feet. You will note the front edges in 2016 along harney shows a height of 80 feet. Then 120 feet that has always been for the Film Art Center. In the future to accommodate the new building we are increasing increase in the height along walker to 120 feet to allow more housing. We are asking for an allowance to increase interior as well as edges to this site to 85 feet. At the edges along harney they comcomment the 80 feet on on thr sight. We have film art at 120 and then they go down and rise at Arelious Walker. I will show that in context. It may sound like a big move to move to 120foot. In this particular context it is less so and that is because we have bayview hill behind us. The highest point of bayview hill is 425 feet. Then the highest point of the building elevation, the highest elevation for the Building Height is more like 231. We have added this last little dot, dot, dot at the bottom to show you the sea level. When you look in the context, i think we have done a pretty good job of making this work in the context of the environment and bayview hill. We are not wanting to interfere with anyones views from bayview hill. Community facilities comparison. Our Community Facilities obligation is 7. 5 of all retail. I mention Community Facilities earlier so we are required to do 7. 5 . Retail the amount every tail has been reduced. Naturally the amount of Community Facility space has been reduced, too. At the same time we still have Community Facility spaces lining our blocks alons an along harne. You can see where the Community Spaces are noted and how much Square Footage is on each one of these blocks. An important Community Facility, the highlight is the International African marketplace. We have worked with the cac to have an International African marketplace, and she liked the idea of being right across from wedge park. That is what we did. I will show you the endings for the kind of place we expect to build in the future. This is a view from Arelious Walker into the plaza area. As you enter from the drive you can see to the plaza where we have a one acre open space to be used for festivals, concerts, any number of things. This is the primary entrance in from the community. This entrance is at the cor corr of earl and ingerson or montana clark drive. The interior is montana clark drive so as you cross the street that is the major gateway to the project. On the right is the food hall i mentioned. On the left is the hotel. Far in the distance you can see the open spaces. The Film Art Center. We think it is an elegant civic building for this community, and we have invested a great deal of time and effort and energy designing this because we do feel that a major civic building is important to the community, to have something that stands out as a signature kind of development space. Now, the next thing i want to talk with you about is some changes to the sub phase boundary for cpo5 and changes within the Alice Griffith neighborhood. One of the things we have done is that we have moved a Community Lot from the corner of ingerson and harn nein the middle of the retail and we moved that to this location in Alice Griffith where we think it can more appropriately Serve Community needs. We are retaining a small piece of Community Use on the site i just mentioned at the corner of ingerson and walker for the fair station. We are wanting to make sure Community Types of uses find a home in this plan. Now, this slide perhaps depicts something that we also think and have mentioned earlier is very important to the community. The child care is the site that operates in true hope church. They currently use the outdoor areas that are included within our Development Plans for a playground. They desperately want to playground to remain. What we did in consiltation with ocii and others, we agreed to leave that block open to retain the playground use, and we swapped out, so to speak, the Development Program for that unit as shown on the left side. It is block 8, if that helps for orientation. Block 8 is now open. The development that had been assigned to that site is now on block 15. The market rate on block 15 was distributed to other blocks on Alice Griffith so it remained. This might be an easier graphic to see the site where it lists alice a g8. Of course, the Community Site is the vibrant purple, and then the Affordable Housing unit that had been proposed moved to a market block and the market rate units moved to other blocks. Transportation plan update. There are a few Transportation Plan updates. One has to do with our own schedule. The implementation of transit, of course, naturally, you know, korresponds to the development. You want people there and transit when they open their doors. We have made a few modifications with the support of s. F. M. T. A. And or Transportation Consultants to update the phasing schedule for the Transportation Plan. We also made a couple other small adjustments. We made a roadway adjustment to allow for train and bus movement at one street and accommodated a driveway entrance to state parks. Infrastructure plan. There are three primary updates to the infrastructure plan. One has to do with updating standards for addressing potential Sea Level Rise. More recently, the National Research Council Published a report in 2012 that suggested Higher Standards for Sea Level Rise are necessary. That was adopted by a number of california agencies, including the planning department. It is a standard that we, too, are applying to the project. The difference is at one time your development in the past had to be finished floor is to be three and a half feet above base level flood elevation. 100 year flood. Now the base Floor Elevation must be five andahalf feet. We have increased the elevations required for all of our buildings by two feet. For us that had been part of our game plan all along. It is not requiring a big change to the plans because we had always anticipated increasing the grades pretty significantly because of Sea Level Rise. It is a standard we are currently already meeting. The other couple of small edits we are requesting from p. U. C. An easement through cp center to accommodate basic utilities, water and such like this. Then the last thing we want to do is, as you may know, of course, we talked about constructing a recycled Water Treatment plan at hunters Point Shipyard. If we are able to do that we will extend is line across the bridge to candlestick to provide recycled water to candlestick two. Jobs. So now let me report on the jobs. We have, as i say, we have increased the category of jobs. The office jobs has increased substantially, and then some of the other jobs are about as they had been originally predicted. For example we dont anticipate any real changes in multi family operations or in hotel and such. There are differences in retail dining, entertainment. Thathat has changed. It is less than the previous plan. What we do have now that we didnt have is a range of office from 1875 to 2725 jobs. What i think is important to note, too, as part of this is that we have the 50 goal, as i mentioned earlier in the presentation, for hiring temporary and permanent workers. We will be working with oawd to develop a plan to enable us to do that. Vertical construction. I know the first question most people ask. When am i going to see something out there . When are you going to build . I recognize that the past couple years has been a couple years of change. We learned retail is no longer a good successful option. We revamped. In the course of the revamping things are one to three years delayed as originally anticipated. What we want to do is we do want to get in the ground by fall of 2020. We are actively, aggressively working on a final map that would give us the ability to secure the permits to finish the Backbone Infrastructure along Arelious Walker and hope to have that in hand to continue infrastructure by this fall. The vertical typical leo horizontal it is two years. If we do the infrastructure 20 0 to 2022 then we begin very cal and that is vertical and that is outlined here on this slide. Ias director safai indicated, we have had a lot of community input. We have had a Couple Community workshops, we have been before a full cac, and we have been before subcommittees of the cac so we have been walking this plan around the past year after spending much of 2017 and early 2018 to revamp and redesign, we came up with a plan we believe we can all endorse and stand behind, and now we are going to start construction. Next step. We will be presenting before the full cac on october 7th, and at that time we will ask them to recommend approval of the major phase application as well as the corresponding changes needed to support that major change application. We will be back in front of you on october 15th, and at that time we will be seeking your approvals for the major phase applications and mo modificatios to the corresponding documents. We will create the community we have all been wanting, which is a community that includes jobs, housing at all levels, child care, transit, parks, all of the things absolutely essential to making this community a viable successful community. With that i think i am going to turn it over to lila to do a wrap. Good afternoon. I am the project manager. I want to close with a summary about the Upcoming Commission actions that would be associated for the changes that you heard today. After the feedback that we get from today, staff intends to come back to the commission with a request to approve amendments to the regulatory documents and make associated findings to support amendments today. There will be three resolutions. First will cover the adoption of temperature findings to subpoena the findings to support the 2019 changes discussed today. Second covers design for Development Amendments which is the height changes, bulk, massing set backs and guidelines for the office building. Third is the major phase amendments and associated documents such as infrastructure plan and Transportation Plan. That will effectuate transfer of 118, 500,000 Square Footage into Candlestick Point. The staff are all here to answer your questions. With that, i will close this presentation. Thank you. Madam secretary, any speaker items . We have oscar james. Good afternoon, commissioners. Oscar james, native resident of bayviewHunters Point. First of all, i want to change the cac and ms. Walker for the hard work inputting this package together along with five points, but i do have some concerns pertaining to the child care. I would like for the child care to hire and train people in our communities that have brought this up at the Southeast Commission meeting for the college to have courses there to train them like we trained them from joint housing programs we had with five child care in Hunters Point wher where we trad People Living in the community for jobs. A lot of them were successful and a lot have retired from that project. Also would like to try to have some homeless housing, an opportunity for some of the people in the community who are homeless to have some of those houses also. I would like for them to start a Training Program with the College Track and some of the other Young Community developers, and randolph to train people for the different type of businesses that will come into both of these projects. Hunters Point Shipyard and the other project. I am truly happy and glad this project is going on, and i like the work that the cac and ms. Walker has done to make sure the Community Benefits to keep residents in the forefront of this project. Thank you very much. Linda richards. Good afternoon, commissione commissioners. Commissioner. Glad to see you. I have attended and we need a lot of times we dont give credit where credit belongs. High point, the only project in the future of San Francisco. This developer has succeeded all of the goals you all have set for this development here. I am a developer myself. A lot of times and living in bayview, the economic engine, our Community Benefits, it is all tied to this project right here. We have been wining and dining at the chase center and everybody there. I get asked a lot about people in bayview because several years ago, all of the jobs and businesses that were created in the area and citywide were because of the hunters Point Shipyard. We are talking with the developer who knows what to do. We have all of the regulatory and mayor breed today, i thought it significant. She signed this legislation called equity. The first of its kind in the history of San Francisco. Thithis is the comment from mayr lee. It is tied to housing, all of this project we have with all of the housing to be built will be based on that preference. We are being judged. We know that. What can i say . That is what we do for a living, but reacting to the Market Conditions, coming back. The community input. Did you see the workshops they have committed. I attended all of them. It is stunning. They made sure to do that, you have made sure they are following. There are more than one. All of the regulatory by october. I think the Community Wants a huge celebration. Then that gets to the next space where they can develop. Thank you all for your work here. We are all very excited. Doctor veronica. Executive director and commissioners, it is always good to see you. Five point recently made a presentation to the cac executive subcommittee, and we were very excited about this particular program and what they are doing out of candlestick. With what the members liked was the plan for jobs, the housing, particularly, Affordable Housing at 60 or below a. M. I. Senior housing 104 uniteds at 60 below. More child care including retention. Some retail office, something more modest, realizing brick and mortar businesses are having some challenges right now. Training program for residents in bayview and ultimately for the city and county of San Francisco for the jobs to be generated through the project. Community stayses. To let people in the community develop businesses and do wonderful things. The Film Art Center, the hotel. To their credit, five point addressed some of our concerns we brought up in the executive subcommittee. That is to see more housing for lower income folks in the 30 to 35,000 a. M. I. Range. Look at the homeless problem. By the way, what we also liked there will be homeless families housed in some of these buildings as well. That is critically important. They will return to us on october 7th. They will give us more information, but we are very pleased with what we see. Iowa president to thank you for allowing me to speak with you about this. No more speaker cards, mr. Chair. Anyone from the audience to speak. I will close Public Comment and turn to fellow commissioners. I just would like to say thank you for all of your hard work, and all of the efforts that have been done in working with the community and as i said the adding and keeping the goals and requests and the desires of the community aboard. I am just impressed. I am thankful, terries. Thank you so much and all of five point for this. Thank you, doctor scott. Again, thank you for the presentation. I have a couple questions just for clarity. On the vertical construction schedule slide it has 2022 to 2025, 575 housing universities. Are those market rate housing or combination of market with Affordable Housing . It is combination. We are required to provide inclusionary housing. That is typically anywhere from 5 to 20 of total housing. With respect to the connection between jobs and the community. I would like to have a couple questions on that. One of the things i brought up in the past with the Mayors Office of economic and Work Force Development is the idea of a custom census where you are looking at a neighborhood. I suggested to them looking at 94124 to start. Looking at it from a data driven perspective, what does the labor force look like . What are the capabilities of peak working or looking for work to get the connection between their interest or skill set and need for training with the upcoming Job Opportunities . Contract compliance supervisor. With respect to the custom census. That is alive today. It is presented to oawd for proposal. We would tie that in with future needs within the community of San Francisco. There would be a conversation. We are going to wait to see what the census says. There has got to be a connection between the folks in the neighborhood their willingness to be available for jobs even if they dont have training today. Kind of like pipeline training to connect them with jobs in their neighborhood. Most people dont want to travel across the city for sure, but far away from the workplace if they need to be close to home. We have an country to anchor the Job Opportunities in the community. Thats correct, yes. I may have others. Question . I just want to say that i you want to Say Something . I have some questions and concerns regarding the retail space that is going to be anchoring this new development in terms of International African marketplace to be at cps. Because bayview has historically not been given as much Business Support Services as other neighborhoods, i would like to get information since you reduced retail availability there will still be retail space. How will the community be prepared to go into that space and access opportunities within that retail corridor that is not available on third street right now. Commissioners, i am Vice President with five point. There will be 23,000 square feet, which is a fair amount of Community Space that will be provided for local businesses. The Selection Process will involve you, the c ac and community so we can identify the proper businesses. We will help construct the bases to a warm shell condition. To assist those tenants. The african marketplace was selected at that location with the community. That amount of space has not changed at all. My question is i understand you have a selection application process. Because this community sometimes needs a little bit more as assistance and accessing the opportunities before the application phase what are the plans to reach to the community to identify people that can be gotten ready for the next five years for when the opportunities come about . Yes, in fact, the outreach is spelled out as part of the Community Benefits agreements in terms of what we do to go to the Community Well in advance. There will be quite a bit of outreach done with the local community. I was on there when they were planning to approve this project. It went to 1 00 or 2 00 in the morning, what was clear was the vision and the need to have this project good through for the people that have historically been neglected in bayviewHunters Point area. I was proud to support that project. This got me excited. I remember how excited i thought about it and was hopeful there will be the jewel for the community that so well deserved it. I still hope that and believe this is going to be there, but i also think along with the commissioners and doctor scott that this is an opportunity for us not to miss. We dont want 10 years from now to say we got a nice beautiful building, but yet where are the people . We have to be thoughtful. I really appreciate five point for being nimble, looking at Market Conditions to see what is the best so we dont have a mall that is empty, but that every space is utilized for the benefit of the people working there, but most importantly the People Living there. The community has been waiting for this for decades. I would like to ask our director if sometimes as we know in City Government it takes a little producing. I know our mayor is committed. I know mayor breed who sat on this commission when we voted for it believes in this. I would ask that may be if staff can work with a commissioner, obviously, we all cannot work on something at the same time, but if there is a specific commissioner to help champion whether it about the small businesses, working with the Mayors Office of Business Development to move that forward. When it comes to local hire where the training is maybe we work with the Mayors Office with Work Force Development so another commissioner could work on that so we are helping move this along and we look to see where we are making the dots connect. So that we really take full advantage of this. Directors, if you could survey us who wants to do what, then what we could do is have a presentation with staff on how we are doing with connecting with that and we will let the mayor know that we are very interested in maximizing the opportunities here for people. I think this is going to be great. I think if we can prove we will work hand in hand with our City Partners and with our Corporate Partners to help us do this and community members, this could be a model. It already is in many ways a model. This really could be more a value added to this. Also, i think it lends to the fact we all need to buy local, that, you know. The fact that malls are disappearing and people are going to amazon. We need more connection to our communities. There are so many entrepreneurs in our communities that we need to begin, i think, going out to spend our money at home especially as we look at the holidays. I think there is so much opportunity. The last thing i want be to say is, and i know that when we get the designs coming up, i was a little bit of a critique last time because some of the designs. I dont know if it was in projector the wow factor, it may have been another project, but for this, you know, i want to be a super wow. We talked about iconic buildings. This Community Needs to have beautiful things andy serves it. I appreciate how you talked about the art center, but, you know, this is our opportunity to make it shine. I know this is just a workshop, but i hope from this we could work with staff, work with our City Department to really take full advantage. This is the only shot we have for this, and, man, if we can get people who live in the community to work in the community and to take full advantage of what is going to be an incredible new part of our city, and that they can stay there to say this is ours, i think we will all be very, very proud at the end that this happened and that we played a very small part of it. I just want to say that. Thank you in advance. [please stand by]
