Myself and a representative from ocii are here to answer questions now im going to turn it over to the project sponsor thank you. Thank you. Thank you, commissioners mr. Director with alexander real estate entities United States of america weve been working on mission bay for quite a few of the and those are the last two parcels that fills in the 26 through 28 lots that we started back in 2005 so it is very exciting to be here we we have a design it is exceptional and last week to ask you to hear our small presentation from shop architects we have omar with us good afternoon commissioners its a pleasure to be here as weve been working with david and ocii staff had a great collaboration ill start by showing you work from the shop thank you shop architect is a employer of 1 mrs. Employees we are interested in technology and come together to enhance the buildings both aesthetically and were interested in the material uses of rich materials that bring detail and articulation to the building not just the slap on most active but with the performance of the envelope what you see on screen is 1 leveling west street street is super at all with broujs in the middle is the facade it is trying to replace the Traditional Technology with transparent films and mulberry a new take on the buildings in particular in mission bay we asked ourselves what can we do to enhance the district california we do to make sure it feels like the rest of San Francisco and the question is really answers by starting with the fact that the buildings are intersection of a very busy hub served by the transit and have a key roll in completing the urban fantastic fabric that is moving from the southwest are part the district and neighbors to the future arena this is, of course, have the most prominence sites at third street. As we asks ourselves how the building is for San Francisco we looked at the building at the city in 3 different scales the city and its relationship to the bay and open space the vertical streets with the typography without changing the course and finally, the rewards you get at the top of those streets usually the public space an opening in the fabric that allows this to happen so we wanted to capture this in the identity of the building we designed the building based on the concepts of neighborhoods neighborhoods that are listened by the vertical need not of the streets and at the intrfshths streets we have public happening appearing throughout the building those are mostly concentrated in the circulation that is on display behind the glazing that was described in addition, this experience is meant to breakdown the scale of the building to activate the sidewalk with visually but and goes beyond the building envelope in the landscape plan 3 main public spaces that are integrated into the design by the Architecture Firm so weve been working with them to enhance the design of pure point lane to make sure we mitigate the lane that runs down the corridor to redesign the pubically owned space at the eastern end the site and finally a considered courtyard that is completes at the Northern Edge of the site with our building at 1455 meets the other buildings so those 3 Small Businesses create a realm for mission bay residents as you can see here this is the main vantage points where people will come to in mission bay if youre coming to the tram on third and south youll across the street the buildings are connected physically as david mentioned with the description of bridges what is unique about the buildings the Office Buildings they dont relate relate to the buildings thought anybody not bandit in solid materials they dont reflect the sun as most buildings do to mitigate titles for demands instead we have a building that is based on a transparent exterior and wall that is meant to breathe the way in which we are meeting title 24 demands the height forming passage based on human principles they should be confront but were not artificially disconnected to the rest in San Francisco and in mission bay this is the right place to do this so in short the building breekts it inhales and exhales this operates the windows telling it when to open and close in addition the front porch is a rich series of space that are connected to the circulation encouraging people to walk in the building and in addition a rich totality to the materials it changes throughout the day and reacts to the light of San Francisco but also is beautiful and warming on the foggiest day. As you can see a simulation of the operational windows that hinge open and closed by butterflies this is the site plan the uses on the ground were important and we work hard with planning and ocii to make sure the distribution of spaces is optimal to activate the sidewalk as as you may know there is this rail in mission bay the retail that is there is mostly Community Serving and 3 spots of retail at the corner and the mid stand and the larger building along third street and at the northern ends fronting that courtyard something many has not been mentioned the inclusion of a daycare facility it is incredibly important because commercial projects skirt the issue by paying the fee rather than providing the service this is a permanent facility it is designed to meet all of the regulations of the codes required of a daycare they serve 49 folks and adjacent outdoor space specifically designed to work with the daycare in addition youll note there are dedicated Parking Spaces one that came up how do you, you drop off kids and rather than crowding the conditions weve dedicated up to 15 Parking Spaces or parishes for parents to drop off their children without being in the street through the parking garage it serves all the buildings between blocks 26 and 28. On the design side we really always wanted to generate a place what you see is us doing it at ever opportunities thats why we required the streets the traditional sidewalk is 12 feet we respected the guidelines and incorporated all the landscaping an urban furniture that belong there and in addition setback the ground floor in order to provide a bigger sidewalk this should mitigate the Public Transit for future events in the area in addition the building really announces its main entry by opening that allows up one to look at the front porch, if you will, it is connecting people and youll notice there are some windscreens that are terribly important to address the adverse wind conditions to make third street a bit of a wi7b8d tunnel throughout this in the winter. So quickly the screens to retract it pulls back and allows for the sidewalk to expand and finally sit up the facade creating the rhythm that is required in the d4d guidelines and a few slides to talk about the public realm as t it relates to the public realm to the urban design it essentially activates the space making it confront for people to use it this is image of a larger model to demonstrate house the materials come together and the setback finally we want to commend talk about the elevation on third street this is really an activate elevation all the materials come to life you see the what we call eye cubes meeting rooms throat but concentration breaking down the scale and creating interest and a sense of relief in terms of materiality the cultivation of thet didnt stop there it turns the corner as you go there the lane an opportunity to look up and relates to the maritime history of mission bay in studying mission bay and asking ourselves how this building can be about San Francisco and mission bay we looking at looked at the gangways and he is materiality and the imagery and sculpture we see on the left two images if henry cam a affirmative that took pictures of the dry dock and find f it the storm detached it and drifted across the bay and the scriptures inspired us to create a rich palate in mission bay but interpreted in an contemporary way for the future of San Francisco and for the environmental places were trying to mitigate here you see another animation talking about the lighting on the wall and the is a elementary theres various Public Places within the project the courtyard and the pubically owned public space and by which the public arts live on the other side of the bridge is a Dynamic Campus and uber is committed with the caliber with the local as well in their curation of the arts for those sites then there is the 5th facade that speaks how the building will be seen by the towers a green roof tipped to work with San Francisco Entertainment Commission management to reduce the capacity of the building to maintain heat. That concludes my presentation. Thank you i want to conclude by saying the team is committing to delivering the building weve designed we have a great contractor as well as a facade manufacturer that will help us deliver in the rendering. Thank you very much. Opening up for Public Comment one speaker card im sorry. Mr. Jonathan macy. Good afternoon commissioners im jonathan dean of architecture at California College of the arts located across the intrastate and the caltrain in the mission bay flats i want to come and share the sense of my colleagues of great excited about this project first of all, because developing mission bay further in a way that activates the streets we imagine benefits spilling over to our neighborhood which has a dirt of retail and daycare and others stoop and then particularly we welcome the work of shop architect in a way to change and improve the architectural character of mission bay where most dynamic and open compelling parts of marshes we find that the pushing of circulation forward towards the facades that remedying remind me of new york will introduce a kind of diamond workplace the interaction of the public realm weve not seen im excited by the mixed mode Environmental Control system and the promise of operation alable facade of Meeting Energy codes that haves a cost of design and buildings openness visual and other ways for the Public Domain so im very inspired and wanted to share the enthusiasm and welcome any questions. At the any other Public Comment on this item seeing none, Public Comment is closed commissioner hillis. So thank you for the presentation and obviously a lot of thought gone into the sdieven this project and shows we appreciate it wherewith kind of the design and architecture is prioritized i think it has paid off the building was great i got a chance to look at the site and visit with the Property Owners project sponsors but the texture and articulation has done in a takeaway we dont see simply earth so i kind of share the publics excitement about seeing this actually big deal being built with the attention on the ground floor i think in Walking Around mission bay starting to see Fourth Street and thirsted back on third street so really appreciate the retail i think we should encourage variances like this because of retail in the lobby living room space otherwise get from the exterior of the building and again appreciate the architects comments we see sometimes dont get that followup so im very excited to see this building being built in very much support it thanks. Commissioner johnson. Thank you very much i am excited about this project it is one of the last remaining larger lots in mission bay project all over but especially in the south i have a couple of quick comments commissioner hillis im excited to see the ground floor on third street Fourth Street definitely that retail corridor i think third street because of the location of this streetcar right down the center is pretty wide and kind of i live in mission bay so a little bit of a like a desert not sand but very i think the plan to have a larger rajt banks and cvss and pharmacies that can handle that type of traffic but would you care to state your name we appreciate we have this a couple of quick comments thank you, mr. Architect mentioned that the building breathes my first thoughts seeing the design when i first visit the site a few weeks back i think the materials and the articulation makes that much more organic and the Mission Bay South plan really focuses on the dense what you think of urban architecture but the way it is released is boxy a lot of uniformity with the exception of some of the streets in Different Directions but still boxy format i appreciate were doing something i appreciate something that will light even the Warriors Arena a cycle last year arena an Office Building that is different and hopefully other Office Buildings or planned Office Buildings on Warriors Arena site will be interesting definitely appreciate the daycare i i appreciate theyve made the childcare facilities with numbers that are appreciateable appreciateable facilities in this area and hopefully not only for uber people but other people that live in the area their babies. laughter i think this is my next comment relating to the childcare people that dont know childcare requires open space requirements you have to have a place for the kids to play that scary stranger cant come in easily that requires thinking how you split up open space supervise the plaza and behind that pier point park alleyway that will be using the space i challenge you to not just putting up a gate but how can you make that transition organic and think about the public art requirement in terms of how you make the gates interesting play structures interesting looking for public art in the plaza and really not will make that go a long ways when you put a bunch of kids and adults id like to see that better transition there the sky bridge none talked about those by weve had discussions about sky bridge here in this commission i think we work well, for this project one you have the Warriors Arena across the street and not like a bridge taking away the pedestrian activities that norman would have been there and no longer on the street a lot of people in the area both giants games not that far up third street of the arena ambassador basketball and other events a lot of foot traffic 200 and 40 days around the year they work wellnd love the Good Relationship on third street you said it is great i understand the street wall requirement i think the fact the variance makes a lot of sense and challenge architects on the project sponsor to be creative with the public art requirement here with that phase can we do things usable art like bicycle facilities or other things takeaway that wind tunnelness that potentially is the case had the smaller released are closed and make it Something Interesting but overall really appreciate the design really excited to see this project contra costa come on out of the ground commissioner antonini. Thank you excellent project a very nice design fresh and unique not monolithic and i like the color this sort brajs color is a nice addition somewhat stayed and now buildings that existing in mission bay step in the right direction and the building is nicely public assessable and amphitheater and pier point lane well begin to lighten up the area and greenery that is softer and the idea of setting back the building with the allowance of a wider sidewalk is a really good thing many times building in doubt have so close to the street it con districts the foot traffic into a narrow area that is thoughtful and will make the foot traffic easier there and also i noticed that you have accommodated your employees by Public Transit and for instances for drivers with large garages income tax that shouldnt provide a problem in in addition to the t line the caltrain station one important thing a halfmile away the others on 1010 sort of walking distance to caltrain stations and opening and closing windows a wonderful thing as is the daycare and the retails rears which hopefully be a market are neighborhood serving so for mission bay so and the allotment of over 2 million towards this fits well, ill move to approve. Second. I dont want to belabor i like the design it raises the bar into the ighborhood. Thank you. Commissioners, if theres nothing further, well move on to to approve with conditions.

Just let me read it and do it right through the secretary and it will get to us. You are certainly welcome to do that. All right.
