Is there any Public Comment on this item . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. We now on item 7 district 6 open Space Task Force thank you. That should work margaret. Go ahead and pull up the power point commissioners good morning planning director of the rec and park. Were here to talk about the open Space Task Force. I want to acknowledge Holly Pierson and im pinch hitting for her. So i think the most important thing is to understand about district 6 i want to talk about the complicated environment it is. The district 6 open Space Task Force come out of the negotiations that start out of the bond. Where in discussion with the supervisor to identify parks for inclusion in the bond we looked at the sites that were actually rec and park. There are other open spaces through mission bay and city planning. So in looking at those spaces we looked at the fact that many of them when i put the stars on are receiving some kind of capital investment. It became clear that the real need of district 6 was to identify alleyoop spacing for acquisition. Its because of that anticipated growth and were thinking between all the neighborhood plans about 20 thousand new retinas on top of new residents. So thats just the residents theres also expected to be an inclusion of other new residents. There have long been a number of Resident Plans and as you look at this map you can see that many of the neighborhood plans adapted in the past years are on the boundary or located in district 6. So with all this growth expected we have impact fees clearly calling up, up we have entrant for what were able to obtain. Theres a lot of opportunity so before the growth happens how do we cease those opportunities and development a strategy. So we took a new approach as youve seen from our acquisitions over the years theyve have long been with a particle in mind. We wanted to do something more proactive so we convened a task force to consider opportunity across the district. The goal of this task iowas force was to identify sites of Development Open spaces in district 6. The task space included commissioner leo and Community Members from all the different sub areas the trust Republic Land and the supervisors offices. In considering district of the major piece of information was the nature of the areas of district 6 the recreation calls out those based on population density and have a hive amount of children and seniors. So based on that analytic framework the residents brought their own experience of district 6 to the destruction and in balancing those different factors made a series of recommends. To the extent we can focus our effort for new parks in the western park of mart and the tenderloin area and the Eastern Market neighborhood. Theres also, we shared with the strrlgd a wide menu of rejectal amenities and the things came back as most deserved was the passive spaces rather than the active spaces like outdoor picnic areas. And also, if there had to be choices made Task Force Members felt it was better to acquire 3 or more small parks. I think that also reflects the practical ability of the opportunities that be are likely to be in district 6. In looking at the opportunity in district 6 there was kind of a rough inventory of spaces that might be opened abandoned parking lot and under utilized areas for example. The report prepared theres probably over 60 potential opportunities that mediating meet that board criteria but we need to explore those spaces and rank them against the priority by the task force. There were 4 specific sites that come up to the eastern side neighborhood plans and actually, two of those sites the brady block are in active vesting with a combination of acquisition fees im sorry impact fees could be to transition those to parks. There are two other areas like the triangle those are investing together by a broker hired by the department of real estate. Theyve put out an rfp to find a broker to evaluate those potential spaces against the criteria by the task force. Weve hoping theyll come back and present their finding. Just again to put this in context of your overall priorities we said at the beginning of this calendar year our goal was to work on 4 main priority. The town square has been completed and francis reservoirs is still underway and 9 hundred inissa 20year effort we have our fingers crossed and then to complete many acquisition with the idea that we could come forward after the broker completes the properties we will pursue over the next year with that im happy to take any questions or comments margaret maybe we could open up to Public Comment. So i have irish smith and then alice rogers. Commissioner commissioners im ricky live in district 6 im one of the Community Group folks that support the projects to convert the alley into a plaza and i serve on the committee of the tenderloin north of market working to make public assessable rooms and i severed on the open Space Task Force and based on that report i want to highlight that high needs areas district 6 qualities. Since the time of the report ive heard from a number of new families that would like to stay in the city and a raise their children and be part of it and having playground case is a big part of the world they want to be in. Given the cost of real estate and where were in the project i hope you can support and move forward this project to district 6 in particular the tenderloin. Next speaker. Hi im alice rogers i served on the task force and rick said it well, to support this proposal. Its time to acknowledge that our people are living in district 6 sensuous figures are 93 thousand people in district 6.
