I am a mom of two and i am thrilled to be here. This is the dream, like everybody else. It is a dream come true. I have been dreaming of this place since i moved here. Since weve become a resident over there, they told me that preschool will going to be here. We have been waiting for this for a long time. It feels like i have been waiting all my life. I have been calling melinda, she is somewhere here. I have been bugging her almost every day. I was calling her and saying, what is happening with the civic opening . I want to know because i want to go back to work, i want to know everything is safe. The next day they said october, and today it is december.

Thank you to everybody. [applause] thank you. And last before we cut this ribbon and get this place open so we can get out of the way of these kids who need more room to play, i just wanted to do a special presentation to you for your work for the past 15 years, your dedication. [applause] your dedication to being an advocate for Early Childhood education, working to support kids and be on the front lines for this. This is often times thankless work. It requires a lot of patience and a lot of hard work to hire people, to review contracts, to apply for dollars, to turn in the paperwork on time. You name it and she does it. She has been doing it with them for the past 15 years and we are so grateful for your service and the work that you have done in the south of market community, but the work we know you will continue to do to be such a blessing to so many people who need childcare that is going to help make a difference in the childs life. So thank you on behalf of the city and county of San Francisco [applause] all right. Supervisor haney, president yee, mrs. Haas, and all the others, i think we will cut the ribbon. Will we cut the ribbon . We will cut the ribbon and then we are going to let our kids get back to playing and having a good time. Okay, kids . Yes. Do you want us to get out of your hair . Okay. [laughter] thank you, everyone, for coming. Five, four, three, two, one. [cheers and applause] is our United States constitution requires every ten years that america counts every human being in the United States, which is incredibly important for many reasons. Its important for preliminary representation because if Political Representation because if we under count california, we get less representatives in congress. Its important for San Francisco because if we dont have all of the people in our city, if we dont have all of the folks in california, california and San Francisco stand to lose billions of dollars in funding. Its really important to the city of San Francisco that the federal government gets the count right, so weve created count sf to motivate all sf count to motivate all citizens to participate in the census. For the immigrant community, a lot of people arent sure whether they should take part, whether this is something for u. S. Citizens or whether its something for anybody whos in the yUnited States, and it is something for everybody. Census counts the entire population. Weve given out 2 million to over 30 communitybased organizations to help people do the census in the communities where they live and work. Weve also partnered with the Public Libraries here in the city and also the Public Schools to make sure there are informational materials to make sure the folks do the census at those sites, as well, and weve initiated a campaign to motivate the citizens and make sure they participate in census 2020. Because of the language issues that many Chinese Community and families experience, there is a lot of mistrust in the federal government and whether their private information will be kept private and confidential. So its really important that communities like bayviewhunters point participate because in the past, theyve been under counted, so what that means is that funding that should have gone to these communities, it wasnt enough. Were going to help educate people in the tenderloin, the multicultural residents of the tenderloin. You know, any one of our given blocks, theres 35 different languages spoken, so we are the original u. N. Of San Francisco. So its our job is to educate people and be able to familiarize themselves on doing this census. You go online and do the census. Its available in 13 languages, and you dont need anything. Its based on household. You put in your address and answer nine simple questions. How many people are in your household, do you rent, and your information. Your name, your age, your race, your gender. Everybody is 2,000 in funding for our child care, housing, food stamps, and medical care. All of the residents in the city and county of San Francisco need to be counted in census 2020. If youre not counted, then your community is underrepresented and will be underserved. Its great to see everyone kind of get together and prove, that you know, building our culture is something that can be reckoned with. I am desi, chair of Economic Development for soma filipinos. So that [ inaudible ] know that soma filipino exists, and its also our economic platform, so we can start to build filipino businesses so we can start to build the cultural district. I studied the bok chase choy her achbl heritage, and i discovered this awesome bok choy. Working at imarket is amazing. Youve got all these amazing people coming out here to share one culture. When i heard that there was a market with, like, a lot of Filipino Food, it was like oh, wow, thats the closest thing ive got to home, so, like, im going to try everything. Fried rice, and wings, and three different cliefz sliders. I havent tried the adobe yet, but just smelling it yet brings back home and a ton of memories. The binca is made out of different ingredients, including cheese. But here, we put a twist on it. Why not have nutella, rocky road, we have blue berry. Were not just limiting it to just the classic with salted egg and cheese. We try to cook food that you dont normally find from Filipino Food vendors, like the lichon, for example. Its something that it took years to come up with, to perfect, to get the skin just right, the flavor, and its one of our most popular dishes, and people love it. This, its kind of me trying to chase a dream that i had for a long time. When i got tired of the corporate world, i decided that i wanted to give it a try and see if people would actually like our food. I think its a wonderful opportunity for the filipino culture to shine. Everybody keeps saying Filipino Food is the next big thing. I think its already big, and to have all of us here together, its just it just blows my mind sometimes that theres so many of us bringing bringing Filipino Food to the city finally. Im alex, the owner of the lumpia company. The food that i create is basically the filipinoamerican experience. I wasnt a chef to start with, but i literally love lumpia, but my food is my Favorite Foods i like to eat, put into my favorite Filipino Foods, put together. Its not based off of recipes i learned from my mom. Maybe i learned the rolling technique from my mom, but the Different Things that i put in are just the Different Things that i like, and i like to think that i have good taste. Well, the very first lumpia that i came out with that really build the lumpia it wasnt the poerk and shrimp shanghai, but my favorite thing after partying is that bakon cheese burger lumpia. There was a time in our generation where we didnt have our own place, our own feed to eat. Before, i used to promote filipino gatherings to share the love. Now, im taking the most exciting filipino appetizer and sharing it with other filipinos. It can happen in the San Francisco mint, it can happen in a park, it can happen in a street park, it can happen in a tech campus. Its basically where we bring the hardware, the culture, the operating system. So right now, im eating something that brings me back to every Filipino Party from my childhood. Its really cool to be part of the community and reconnect with the neighborhood. One of our largest challenges in creating this cultural district when we compare ourselves to chinatown, japantown or little saigon, theres little communities there that act as place makers. When you enter into little philippines, youre like where are the businesses, and thats one of the challenges were trying to solve. Undercover love wouldnt be possible without the help of the mayor and all of our Community Partnerships out there. It costs approximately 60,000 for every event. Undiscovered is a great tool for the cultural district to bring awareness by bringing the best parts of our culture which is food, music, the arts and being ativism all under one roof, and by seeing it all in this way, what it allows san franciscans to see is the dynamics of the filipinoamerican culture. I think in San Francisco, weve kind of lost track of one of our values that makes San Francisco unique with just empathy, love, of being acceptable of different people, the out liers, the crazy ones. Weve become so focused onic maing money that we forgot about those that make our city and community unique. When people come to discover, i want them to rediscover the magic of what diversity and empathy can create. When youre positive and committed to using that energy, shop and dine on the 49 promotes local businesses and challenges residents to do shopping and dining within the 49 square miles of San Francisco by supporting local Services Within neighborhood. We help San Francisco remain unique, successful and vibrant. Where will you shop and dine in the 49 . San francisco owes the charm to the unique character of the neighborhood comer hall district. Each corridor has its own personality. Our neighborhoods are the engine of the city. You are putting money and support back to the community you live in and you are helping Small Businesses grow. It is more environmentally friendly. Shopping local is very important. I have had relationships with my local growers for 30 years. By shopping here and supporting us locally, you are also supporting the growers of the flowers, they are fresh and they have a price point that is not imported. It is really good for everybody. Shopping locally is crucial. Without that support, Small Business cant survive, and if we lose Small Business, that diversity goes away, and, you know, it would be a shame to see that become a thing of the past. It is important to dine and shop locally. It allows us to maintain traditions. It makes the neighborhood. I think San Francisco should shop local as much as they can. The retail marketplace is changes. We are trying to have people on the floor who can talk to you and help you with products you are interested in buying, and help you with exploration to try things you have never had before. The fish business, you think it is a piece of fish and fisherman. There are a lot of people working in the fish business, between wholesalers and fishermen and bait and tackle. At the retail end, we about a lot of people and it is good for everybody. Shopping and dining locally is so important to the community because it brings a tighter fabric to the community and allows the Business Owners to thrive in the community. We see more Small Businesses going away. We need to shop locally to keep the Small Business alive in San Francisco. Shop and dine in the 49 is a cool initiative. You can see the banners in the streets around town. It is great. Anything that can showcase and legitimize Small Businesses is a wonderful thing. Chances are if you are in San Francisco visiting one of our vibrant neighborhood does, youll see one of our workers wearing one of our vests. Usually, the corridors are the busiest travels areas of the cities, so we want to keep San Francisco a worldclass destination for everyone. My duty is to go around, making sure that im getting everything up off the ground. I pick up everything from cigarette butts, sweeping gum. We find needles on the floor, drug paraphernalia, trash, sometime feces. It gets pretty dirty out here. My job is pretty much its unpredictable. Im a San Francisco native. I grew up in the bayview. You know, im just appreciative of just helping my neighborhood. Even places i dont live it, sometimes im out there, helping, too. Im a San Francisco native, so it is really important for me to keep the city clean and try to make a difference. It makes me feel a part of the city more because im a native here, i was born and raised here. So i know what San Francisco should be and should look like. As much as possible, i try to keep the neighborhood a place for everybody, not just the people that live here because everybody contributes to making the neighborhood. I know theres a lot of camaraderie between everybody, and that makes for a good days work. How are you . Good. Good. Thank you. Thank you. Theres still good people in the world. Oh, always. Theres always. How you doing . Good. All right. Theres a lot of merchants thats very happy with the job that were doing here. Theyve noticed that since weve been out here, that the streets have been a lot cleaner. He is one of the happiest people i know, just doing his job, that is keeping the trash out of the street and keeping our neighborhood clean. So hes our little hero, super hero. Only thing thats going to get in my way is the trash, and i know how to sweep that out of the way. Like i said, if people is fine, we have nothing to worry about. Life is what you make of it, and thats for real. Friday, its raining. So . Im out here. I love what i do. Our Corridor Program is made up with a combination of employees, and Human Resources agency who are helping people get back on their feet in the workforce. As a homeless person, im glad that public works has given me the opportunity to work, and give me a job and so i give it 110 . Public can really help by picking up their trash and not throwing it in front of me. I make sure i even encourage my own kids to you know, if youre outside, you see something, go and pick it up. Dont leave it there. Go put it in the garbage. It doesnt hurt to do that. You cant get it all, but you can get most of it. Help us keep San Francisco clean. Its a beautiful city. It seems like its hard to keep it that way, but its not if everybody be a team player and work together. [please stand by]. Good afternoon and welcome to the land use and Transportation Committee of the San Francisco board of supervisors for today, monday, december 9. My name is mr. Peskin.

Please silence all cell phones and electronic devices. Completed speaker cards to be included should be submitted to the cleric. Items will appear on the 17th board of agenda unless otherwise stated. Thank you. Could you please read the first item and welcome supervisor safai. Item number one is business and tax regulations code to extend through fiscal year 202021. The temporary suspension of the application as a Business Registration and fee requirements to Transportation NetworkCompany Drivers and taxi drivers. Thank you for hearing this. This is a continuation of a Business Registration fee suspension that we enacted last year, both were taxi drivers and t. N. C. Operates while the city continues to challenge the validity after senate bill, 182 that was sponsor by uber and opposed by our local state senator scott wiener, which basically sought to preempt our ability to require local licenses for t. N. C. Drivers, running their own commercial carrier businesses. Ms. Freed from the treasurer Tax Collectors Office is here. And on behalf of colleagues, if you have any questions, please address ms.

And after that you have interest, fines, penalties. Its a hefty mistake to make. Ive been there. Dont do it. Anything you would like to add to my comments . Thats all colleagues, any questions for the Tax Collectors Office . Seeing none, are there any members of the public who would like to testify on item number 1 . Dont all run up here at once. Public comment is closed. And colleagues, i would like to make a motion to send this to the full board with recommendation as a Committee Report to be heard by the full board of supervisors tomorrow, december 10, tax day. And seeing no objection, we will do that without objection and supervisor fewer has joined us. And i want to apologize to supervisor fewer because i would like to take item 7 and 8 out of order, unless supervisor fewer, item number 2, can be done quickly. All right. Then please read the next item. Item number 2 is anard nancy to require at least half of residential units in educator Housing Projects to have two or more bedrooms, to eliminate the requirement that educator Housing Projects have a minimum amount of three bedroom units, conditioned on the passage of proposition e in the november 5, 2019, consolidated election. Thank you. And i would like to take this opportunity foremost to thank the voters of San Francisco who saw fit to adopt this last month in november and thank supervisor fewer and her office for their leadership as well as cosponsors for this measure, my colleague supervisors haney, walton and mar and as well as the Affordable Housing advocacy community, our teachers and faculty and labor allies for their hard work to pass proposition e, the Affordable Homes and families and educators now act. Which was truly a collaborative effort, and we pledged to the mayor that we were going to continue to work collaboratively together and design a unit mix for one particular project, Francis Scott quietiver housing. I will turn it over to supervisor fewer. Thank you. The legislation before you today is a small tweak to proposition e, which was passed by over 76 percent of voters in this recent election. I would first like to thank my cosponsors of the initiative, supervisors peskin, haney and walton as well as the mayor and the board of supervisors for unanimously supporting prop e in helping us to ensure to voters overwhelming help us ensure voters overwhelmingly passed it. We all know in this Housing Affordability crisis we need to create more Affordable Housing in every part of the city. As we all know, San Francisco is exceeding our goals for market ray rate housing, but we are falling short of our goals for low and moderate Income Housing. As of last year, the city produced 96 percent of the market rate units needed to meet our goal for above moderate Income Housing by the year 2022. However, we have only produced 30 percent of affordable units needed to meet our goals for very low, low, and moderate Income Housing in order to close in gap, we have been working to provide more funding for Affordable Housing and make it easier and faster to build. My colleagues and i have been pursuing new Funding Sources for Affordable Housing, including legislation i authored with unanimous cosponsorship which allocates 50 percent of excess funds the city gets back from the state for Affordable Housing. This added 70 million in additional funds for Affordable Housing in this years budget alone and will continue to add tens of millions more each year. We also unanimously passed legislation from supervisor haney, to increase the job housing linkage fee and provide hundreds in millions for Affordable Housing. In this recent election we all worked together to put a 600 million housing bond on the market which was approved by 71 percent of voters. All of these proposals will help address the number one barrier to building Affordable Housing, funding. To address other barriers identified by Affordable Housing nonprofits, our office and colleagues worked with the stakeholders to develop and pass Affordable Homes for educators and families now initiative, which became prop e, in order to make it easier and faster to build Affordable Housing in every neighborhood across San Francisco. Our office began working on this legislation to make it easier to build Affordable Housing in outer neighborhoods that have seen little investment in Affordable Housing. It builds off the success of the legislation that former supervisor jane passed last year to make Affordable Housing a principally permitted use in service, arts and Light Industrial districts. We also worked with the educators of San Francisco to develop a Pilot Program for educator housing that would serve the need oferts and a wide range of income levels and household sizes on land owned by the School District or city college. No one understands the need of our educators better than the educators themselves and we are proud to have partnered with them on this initiative. In order to ensure these projects serve the diverse Housing Needs of educators, the ordinance currently requires at least 30 percent of the units in an educator Housing Project are two bedroom units and 20 percent are three bedroom units. It was important to the teachers that projects dont end at being primarily made up of studios and one bedroom units as this would exclude a sizable portion of our workforce, many of whom live with their families. The legislation changes the unit so that 50 percent of all units will be two bedrooms or larger, rather than requiring a set percentage of three bedroom units. This will allow for more Design Flexibility ensuring that projects arent just for single educators. It will allow the School Districts working with the educating community to make the decision about units on a sight site by site basis. Im excited to see new Funding Sources available including at the state level and local Affordable Housing bond. I cant wait to see more Affordable Homes being built in my neighborhood and every neighborhood across San Francisco. I hope i can count on your support today to send this to the full board tomorrow as a Committee Report. Thank you. Thank you, supervisor fewer. Supervisor safai. Thank you, chair peskin. Thank you, supervisor and others for your leadership on this and as she said, thank you to our friends in labor, particularly the united educators and others who really led this forward along with all the colleagues on the board. This was a really important conversation about advancing and making educator housing a priority. The and i know this was largely driven by educators in general, particularly around Francis Scott keys. I wanted to make a footnote about the reference to or the acknowledgement of familyfriendly units. So the upon us of familyfriendly units, i know this language was adjusted to say two bedrooms or more so i want to keep that on the radar. We had a lot of those conversations while we were crafting the home s. F. Program, the couple of those projects were coming through our districts right now where we are pushing the developers to consider three bedrooms for families. So just wanted to highlight that. I know that president yee also brought to to my attention so we are going to keep that conversation going. I appreciate all your hard work on this. And i wanted to give a little homage and underscore the importance of familystyle units. So this language does acknowledge that, and we want to continue that and ensure that that is a big part of the conversation. Are there any members of the public who would like to testify on this item number 2 . These are come forward. Good afternoon. Planning Department Staff. The Planning Commission heard this item on november 21 and voted unanimously to approve it. Thank you. You are not a member of the public but we appreciate that. Are there members of the public who would like to and you are here on what item . [off mic] got it. Good afternoon. With the council of Community Housing organizations. Just to say im fully in support of these amendments. Its great to see that we are able to pass this as a ballot measure with 75 percent of the voters with a large absolute majority throughout the west side of the city. I think changing the dialogue and narrative about how we want to see housing built throughout the city. I think its important that we have a project that is moving forward and other projects that we want to make sure this affects and helps those projects to actually succeed quicker, sooner, faster. So again, thank you, supervisor fewer and supervisors for making the comments about family housing, which is extremely important and extremely important discussion to have in the city. Thank you. And thank you to the council of Community Housing organizations for your support. Next speaker. Good afternoon, cory smith on behalf of the housing coalition. Im excited about how the dialogue has shifted over the last few years where building housing and building Affordable Housing on the west side was a little bit of a poisonous political topic. And weve gotten to the conversation where we know we all need housing. We need as much Affordable Housing as possible. So through this and future pieces of legislation and potentially ballot measures, we look forward to continuing that progress and i want to thank everybody for their leadership on this issue. Thank you. Thank you. And thank you for your support. I will note that supervisor pioneered that. Are there any members of the public who would like to speak . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Is there a motion to send this to the full board as a Committee Report with recommendation made by supervisor safai . We will take that without objection. Supervisor fewer, thank you for your leadership. Colleagues, if theres no objection i would like to call items 7 and 8 out of order. Item 7 is an ordinance amending the planning code and zoning map to establish the 2,000 marin street special use district and to create additional key site exceptions for the flower mart site and appropriate fundings. Item 8 is an ordinance approving a Development Agreement between the city and county of San Francisco and kr flower mart for the development of an approximately 6. 5acre site at fifth and brannan street, with various Public Benefits including a new onsite wholesale flower mart. Thank you. Supervisor haney who is the supervisor that presides over the storied flower market, an institution that has existed for over a century in the city and county of San Francisco, actually started in what technically now district 3 at lotus fountain before it migrated south of the slot into what is now district 6 and ultimately migrated to where it has been for over half a century at sixth and brannan streets. This is a institution that is in in linked to San Francisco. It is linked to families whose lives have changed over time who live in san mateo counties and other counties who grow the product, bring it to market in the middle of the night. If any of you have not been there, i urge and commend you to go there at the crack of dawn at 3 or 4 in the morning. It is the second largest wholesale flower market in the United States of america. The south of market is changing. Supervisor kim presided over some of those changes. Supervisor haney is now presiding over the changes. Their predecessor daly presided over the changes as downtown moved south and central soma is where that action is happening today. The Kilroy Corporation did what the academy of art that is on our agenda later today could not do, which is to assemble the japanese and italian sides of that flower market and propose a Massive Office development. I stepped in i forgot what year, i think 2015, i forget what year it was, alex clemenses is not in his head and went about procuring some tens of thousands of signatures to down zone the flower market, and we came to an agreement actually with all respect to the Kilroy Corporation, they said they would never displace this storied institution, and that is what we are discussing today. The fundamental policy issue before this board of supervisors is making sure that the flower market exists for another hundred years, or at least 35, which is in the agreement. We ended up at a shredding machine, we shredded all the signatures. There are pictures of that. Im happy to share them with you as is mr. Clemens. And we entered into an agreement, and that agreement is playing out today. Let me be the first to say that there has been incredible work by the 53 changes on a daily basis, vendors in the flower market, by their underlying remaining landlord, which i dont know if its called the california flower market or whatever its called these days, its changed over time, and the Kilroy Corporation and most importantly the office of the Economic Workforce Development and i would like to thank them for working with a very complicated set of characters and bringing a Development Agreement to this board, which is not done. It is my intention to hear from every member of the city family and from the public, and i would like to keep this conversation going. And i would like to, if animy colleagues agree, continue this if my colleagues agree, continue this at the board of supervisors. But there are a lot of ts to cross and maybe theres somebody here from planning, i think we should start with planning. Should we go with planning . Thank you. Thank you chair peskin for those comments. And for your leadership and support on this effort, which i know has been going on for over five years to my predecessor supervisor kim, i came in very much in the middle of all of this. And im very grateful for all the work that everyone has done to, as you said, protect quintessential institution in the flower mart. Its been very complicated to figure out the best way to protect the flower mart, especially in light of the changes in the south of market and where the wholesale flower mart could best not just survive but thrive for, as you said, the next hundred years. So i really appreciate everyones hard work on what we have in front of us. I do think that there are some things that, as you said, not only still need to be figured out and determined, but a lot of hard work left to go in the coming months and years to make sure that we fulfill all the commitments that are here in front of us. I do want to thank ann from oewd, ela from planning, the folks from kilroy, as i said, supervisor peskin, and your chief of staff who have been really critical partners on getting this done. There are two items that are in front of us today regarding the flower mart. The first item appears as item 7, which is a proposed ordinance that would amend article 2 of the planning code and the zoning map to create a new 2000 marin street special use district. The purpose of establishing the special use district, and its associated planning code exceptions is to allow for a feasible temporary location for the San Francisco wholesale flower market due to the development of the flower mart site. And i believe the Planning Department will present on those changes and will be available for questions. The second item appears as number 8 which would approve a Development Agreement between the city and the projects sponsor for the development of a large multiphase mixed use development that includes office, wholesale, open space, parking and related uses. I also want to say that this project is the first example of how our recent win in passing the house our workers legislation, which increased the jobs housing linkage fee, which will provide more Affordable Housing units. This project will contribute a significantly higher amount of dollars to the city for the construction of Affordable Housing, ar increasing the project sponsors total obligation from 58 million to nearly 107 million in fees, which can deliver close to 500 units of Affordable Housing. Theres an amended Development Agreement which i believe all of the members of the committee have and which we can describe in more detail im sure will be described as we move through. Again, i want to thank the project sponsors for their work and everyone from oewd, the Planning Commission and for chair peskin for your hard work on this for many years. Im glad they were able to shred all of that and have a new agreement that i think will memorialize our shared commitment to protect the flower mart and develop a site that provides Significant Community benefits, Affordable Housing and a future of development in this area, which is equitable and balanced. So with that, i dont know if you have to call up ken rich, i dont know if its ken. Im happy to start with you. Supervisor mandelman and mar have joined us. With that, if you would like to regale us with the recommendations of the Planning Commission. Hi. Planning department. Ill provide a brief overview of the project including the items for consideration. And then ill hand the presentation over to ann with oewd and alexander, representing the project sponsor. So ken rich is just sitting here . Thats fine. That works. Im sure hell be available to answer questions. You can go back to your office, ken. So the two items before you are part of a suite of required approvals to facilitate the proposed mixed use project known as the flower mart site, specifically this committee, as was mentioned, is being asked to consider an ordinance amending the planning code and zoning maps, as well as an ordinance approving the Development Agreement. On july 18, 2019, the Planning Commission heard and considered the testimony presented on behalf of the project sponsor, the Department Staff and other interested parties and took the following action. They adopted a recommendation of approval of the planning code text and map amendments. Adoption of a recommendation of approval of the Development Agreement, approval of request for large project authorization and approval of a request for an office developmentalcation for the first phase of the project. You mean prop m . Yes, prop m. The proposed project, which is the southern half of the block between fifth and sixth street, would be redeveloped as a mixed Office Retail and p. D. R. Development. It would demolish all ten of the existing buildings which does include the buildings currently housing the San Francisco flower mart. And they would construct three new eight to 18story mixed use Office Buildings that would contain approximately 2 million feet of office, 113,000 feet of production, distribution and repair uses, which would be the new wholesale flower market, feet of roadway tail and privately owned public open space. And thats in the first phase or all the phases . Thats a total for all three phases. This version would also provide about 769 underground parking spaces, 30 loading spaces and close to 500 bicycle parking. The prop m allocation you referenced is only for the first phase, is that correct . Yes. It was an approval for the first phase which is about 1. 3 million square feet. The other two phases would go to Planning Commission for separate prop m allocations. Thank you. Theres also project variance. As you know, in the Development Agreement, theres an option for the wholesale flower market to permanently relocate to aew
