Richard. One Year Anniversary on the Planning Commission. I figure we can celebrate a light moment in this craseyness today but i want to talk about why 75 howard is a important project because this is a question about our values. As people who live in city and people in the bay area as whole. There are people thattled you 0. 16 production in shadow was more important that people that can live in the city. People told you that [inaudible] parking garage was more important that people that can live in the city. There are people that told you we are a violation and the 20 people that came out for housing are irviolation of neighborhoods. That is a question about values. Do you want to be a welcoming and open sit aetd that brings now people in or do you want to shut off the gate and force people to be displaced because there isnt enough housing to support them . I dont want to be aigated community, i want to be San Francisco. You mentioned somebody said that we are techies and so on, today is burning man so they are all out there. They work for non profit. Im so sorry all right folks. I think that is enough. The conversation that we are having todaythere are a lot of folks coming here to fight the soma project. [inaudible] i want to say all those people should support putting luxury housing in a luxury neighborhood. It is moving the welthsy people who would move into the the mission and soma and tenderloin to move to those areas and by voting this project and gaechbs the height you vote against Affordable Housing in the tenderloin and [inaudible] at the end of the day this isnt just about numbers and shadow squz values. It is who we are as san franciscan and whether people that want to come and live here are a violation or benefit. I know it is a long day but beg you tomorrow and next week and months and years aheads to make the right decision because we are counting on you. Our live jz dreams and hopes are counting on you. Thank you so much. Good evening. My name is betty macy and live on [inaudible] i make close to 200 thousand a year and cant afford to live here. What i would ask you to please consider is that yeah, the shadow of a large building are a legitimate concern to the Planning Commission but how about the shadow over the life of the people who live here and cant afford it. Who live here and liferberize here and been here for 20 year jz cant stand it. I would like to remind you rincon tower 2 was biment and opened earlier this year. I would like to remind you it sits half empty because the higher floor unit rent for 10 thousand a month each. That building is now for sale and why . Because they are going convert them to condoes. What about that action . What about those homes that were supposed to build affordable home. I dont see them and cant find them or live in them. I spoke to the audience, buster. Im sorry. It infeariates me to know at my squaij salary and cant live here and hear these people talking about the community and impact to the culture providing more housing. I would like to ask anybody here where is it. Please do not approve this project or projects like it until real Affordable Housing are in the city and until people who are your made and clean your toilet and cook your food and watch your kids can afford to live here. Next speaker please. Fwood evening [inaudible] coalition of San Francisco neighborhoods and neighbors association. I just want to have maybe a slightly different approach here. On Cathedral Hill we are working with developers to build 1 thousand new units. We have 5 projects thatd we are working with now, 4 of them were in agreement with the project sponsors and we are building 4, 2 fiver 0 units code compliant buildings with Affordable Housing on site. Green buildings, ree dused parking, increases bike. It is possible to build code compliant buildings that contribute to the community and allowtuse put our working people in the neighborhoods, not pay fees for pipe line projects in bay view or treasure island. It is possible to build, this is a code compliant good building, people can live there, the developer can make a profit and doesnt have to be a question of us against them so i urge you to approve this as a code compliant project. Thank you. Next speaker please hello, my name is theresa [inaudible] part of the south of Market Action xhitey and im appalled that there is a zero on site Affordable Housing and this isi was part of the giant Development Negotiation and we thought of that thoroughly about housing on site. 40 percent on site from 45 percent ami to 150 percent ami. From different ranges of people, from people working in the ball park to teachers. These luxury condoes who are going to afford this . Who are going to be able to live this . This is just ridiculous how this development are very much putting up for home. When someone talked about the shadows, as someone who fought protecting the shadow at [inaudible] it is not just shadows, it is about the usage of the park and rincon park isnt used by people. This is also increasing the shadow so we have to think aboutwhy are the Planning Commissions here . We have this zoning and these laws and need to be reminded why are these laws here . It is justat the end of the day are we just likewhy are these [inaudible] if we are violate [inaudible] every time zoning process comes in and nob nub there is no community input. So, this is ridiculous. Good evening [inaudible] from the mission sr collaborative also born and raised in San Francisco. Grew up in a one bedroom apartment with 6 people and upgraded to a sro and im sick and tired of the [inaudible] and grow sf and the people who still believe in supply z demand econmics [inaudible] it is only 100 percent luxury condoes no on site Affordable Housing because people can afford Affordable Housing dont deserve to live in this neighborhood. Im tired of this. You all know there is a crisis in the city. You all know people cannot afford to live in this city. You can build build build build build build build build from the pricing will stay the same. They are not going go down. You can build all over the city, it doesnt work here. Throw your economics 101 textbooks away because it wont work here. It is a different environment. Do you eve chb care about the city and just want to build luxury condoes all the time . You claim to care but how many care . The people up here speaking for this the [inaudible] and grow sf how menopy care about the city . They want to come to the the city and make it better for them and dont give a crap of people that are displaced and the [inaudible] and poor people that are nob nub gone gone gone. People i want to Elementary High School with cant afford to lichb thip city. Every project out of here is focused on market rate housing. There is amorally imperative to deny this project. Whether that speaks to you or not is not up to me. My entire life has been here and sick and tire said of seeing this. Im tired and your are tired and everyone is tired. You cant keep doing this and can hear you talking in the back saying shut up. Im tired of this happening. No one that i grew up with, everyone of them was poor. None of them live in the city. It isnt because they dont want to it is because they cant afford it. There is no where for them to go. Good evening, it is really late. My name is [inaudible] im with the south of Market Community Action Network and soma Action Committee. We are here today to ask you to reject this project because of numerous reasons. One, the 75 howard would be taller than the 8 washington along the water front towers that San Francisco voters rejected and [inaudible] two, 75 howard would harm rincon park. According to the Planning Department eir they found every development of substantial height approximately 100 feet or taller on the project site would shadow rincon park. There is no feasible mitigation to reduce this impact to a less than significant level. This is in the draft eir page 4 h 2425. The shadow maps produced by this developer dont go past 6 p. M. Which is when many local residence use rincon park and shadows are at the longest. Shadow diagrams are unrelabel because they dependent on aceral height info of the surrounding buildings and that is extremely difficult [inaudible] numerous errors have been pointed out showing buildsings heights as a point of reference the developer should put one map showing the shadow created by this project alone. It feels like for the Planning Department we hope that you actually remember what planning is about and that is to make sure that information like this is available to the public. We are dealing this with other projects in San Francisco and we are seeing a pattern of developers could just develop without providing all this proper public input. It is sad to see that this body is turning into this place of where we will just be able to just look at what fees and what Community Benefits should we suck up and just so we dont have to deal with the problems of shadows, of displacement, but in realty those are things that should bow what this department and body should be looking at because you are helping shape our neighborhood. You are helping shape San Francisco. We need to Work Together on those things, that is why we are critical about we participated in the [inaudible] and central soma and thosE Developments to make sure our neighborhood is built properly. Thank you. High my name is [inaudible] grew up ichb San Francisco. I dont have friends that live in San Francisco when i grew up and that was a sad revelation i just had. What i want to say is that someone asked before are you going say and i didnt know about this project but when i heard about thE Development it disturbed be like i always thought that below market rate housing meant on site housing just so those peoplethat is what i thought. This is the first time im hearing you can pay off that portion so that housing can be somewhere else and that feels like we are making sure theall the rich people Stay Together and the poor people are out there and we can keep this in a certain way. That is how i felt and why i had to step up saying it doesnt feel like San Francisco. The San Francisco i grew up in had a lot of diversity and inclusion, justice and cultural equity. What people dont understand that they are not san franciscans so i urge you to take that on and make sure those things are things that prevail in what we do here and hope there are more developers and more landlord out like Cathedral Hill that figure out a way to put Affordable Housing on site and should look that Planning Department for those kind of tweper landlords that want to stay in San Francisco from San Francisco. I think that would be great. Thank you. My name is diane [inaudible] with south affMarket Community Action Network. I approve this project because there is zero on site on this project and because they are building 100 luxury units. [inaudible] income levels and we are over producingwe produce twice as much lexry housing in the city as the [inaudible] for people making more than 85 thousand dollars a year which i definitely dont, we are making more than double what the [inaudible] goals are. At 80 percent of ami, so 57,000 dollars for people, they only intiteed about 30 percent. Less than 80 percent the city only built 55 percent. In 2007 San Francisco Planning Department issued a study that showed that for every 100 units of market rate housing it created depend for 43 affordable units so you may service the luxury class with these units but where and when are the 43240do the math, where are those going to be built . It will be put on and on forever. We have to look at the Affordable Housing e needs of the city and take into consideration the cities goal squz the studies that show we dont need more luxury housing in the city, we need more Affordable Housing. Thank you. Is there additional publicthere he is. I will start my clock again. Good evening. [inaudible] look, it is [inaudible] build the housing and dramatic water front housing will [inaudible] for those who need it. That is perposerous on its face. This is housing for the 1 percent. This is housing for the globeal elite. Starting at 2 thousand dollars a square foot and up. That is what this is. Only one person noted it was going to provide just the absolute bare minimum the city law allows or requires for affordable inclusionary housing. At 12 percent. In this case cash it out. 12 percent. We have a uber luxury project doing just 12 percent inclusionary. What no one mentioned but what i want to get you to Pay Attention to is the developer is asking for every goody they can get that makes their project more valuable every possible way. A parking variance, this variance, this conditional use. Most of all, 20 more feet and exception to your bulk limits. 2 more floors of condoes add that level sell for 4 thousand dollars a square foot and that is about 30 thousand feet at least. 120 Million Dollars goody from you a 20 feet you dont have to give them. What are we getting back . The profit from that after development cost, 30 million . Pick a number. 25 million . What do you get back . What is the sit a getting back for giving 20 more feet, nothing. You are not getting anything back. Why dont you tell them double the inclusionary which means double the fee in this case from 9 million to 18 million and well giver you that 20 feet and 120 millions. That is what you need to do and whailt the department has to use the leverage it has and ever exception and variance that you grant is worth money, big money and get us more Affordable Housing or at least more money for it. Otherwise [inaudible] it down. Good evening im [inaudible] from south of Market Action committee. I havent agreed with johnilatey but i have to say i think today i am. When we look at the calendar to see when this item would come up and realized the alphabet of exempttions you will grant them. This not something that doesnt have an effect in our nairbld. Many of you may know about the rincon hill stabilization fund. This was created particularly to make sure those height increases and exsempens would benefit and stabilize the neighborhood for the long term and that is model that needs to be looked at again. You are granting a lot of wealth to this development. It is also something that is a standard so essentially we had a majority of the housing built in soma. Practly 50 percent . Yeah, that. So 12 thousand units over out of 21,000 of the city over the most recent housing balance summary. So, with that though there has been efforts to make sure there is inclusionary housing that benefits this naird but i want to you to look at it from a planning perspective and not from the mayors perspective or from a development deal, on that sense i want you to think about how this impacts this neighborhood, south of market. You can transformed this whole area over the past decade and this is just over the recently before that there was a lot morE Development. The people who lived here are not talking from a place of asking for so much more, they know the value of this land and the impacts that will effect them. We had 13 different Redevelopment Areas here. We are perfectly aware of what the land is work and how you are packaging these deal said to makE Development happen but you are not aware of what we get in return and that is decent job jz Affordable Housing in the neighborhood, something that remains and grows the neighborhood so we have a chance to continue to sur vive. I urge you to think about when you think about passing this project and the one well talk about next because you need to take a stance how the neighborhood is shaped for the long term. Thank you. Good eeskening Planning Commissioners. We are here today late and should give ourselves a pat on the back. This project before us im shocked to hear it has no on site Affordable Housing and offers 20 percent off site affordable. How after prop k can any developer bring a project before the Planning Department and the Planning Commission with anything less than 33 percent affordable which isnt enough to begin with. How anyone can bring forth a project that has no on site affordable. As it was said, house frg the 1 percent, this is housing for the global 1 percent this is not serving the needs of san franciscans. If you think this will tricker to the folks in sro and the Homeless People on the streets i dont know what to say, but that is ubsurd. We cant approve projects designed strictly for praunlect. This project is designed 100 percent to make developers filty rich. It is not designed to meet the Housing Needs of san franciscans. Im angry and it is taller than 8 washington. Did we not hear from the voters, they dont want walls on the water front. We heard that loud and clear in 2 conseck trfb bal lt mesers, loud and clear. 100 Parking Spaces so these people can pull their bam burr geenys and [inaudible] because they live in a mansion in another country or down the peninsula. No, we do not build luxury condoes with zero on site Affordable Housing. We shouldnt look at projects that dont offer a minimum of 33 percent affordable. You know that, that is prop k. The voters said that. It should have been enforceable. Now it is a notion thatia can ignore and ignoreed over and over again. Enough. I cant imagine this project would be approve. Thank you. Can i have the overhead . What im trying to show you is the area that this project is on. Commissioner got this from neighbors but i want to point out something else. These are all Redevelopment Areas. These pointy things are all redevelopment set backs. There is Affordable Housing right across the street from this building. Why . Because Redevelopment Agency had too overwhelming concerns, a there had to be Affordable Housing and renting housing at the rincon annex which is across the street. There rufordable unit there. There are a lot of affordal units because that was redevelopment policy mps the second thing redevelopment did is they followed the planning code and urban design plan z followed the one that was in exist ins in 1981 when they adopted rincon south beach. All these set backs are greater than the ones shown here, these red lines are not the real set backs. The Redevelopment Agency let you have a point tower at the point and a [inaudible] building for gap. What you dont have because it was not provided by your staff is excruciating long discussions at the redevelopment had about pushing back all these buildings and especially the gap building. I was paying attention to the gap building. The gap building mass is back here. These illustrations are very good for showing what the top of the tower is but now the buildings are pushed back. They were pushed back every place along here. This is a Redevelopment Agency so the first thing you are asked to do on your approval is take over the redevelopment tower 15 a. You should insist that you have the record of how the Redevelopment Agency considered the design of these buildings because they were following the planning code. They were following the urban design plan and it really used to mean something that buildings were set back along the water front and there was Affordable Housing in Redevelopment Agency projects and i want that as a myth. You cant have Affordable Housing down here. You canthe Redevelopment Agency did it. I asked you to continue this hearing, get the Redevelopment Agencyies files from ocii. I know the debate they had. Thank you. Any other Public Comment . Okay not seeing Public Comment is closed and commissioner ant [inaudible] to answer the last comants first this isnt a redevelopment project. The distance this project is going be from the embarcadero road way is the same distance the gap building is. That road way turns in a westward dweckz after it passes this so that measurement is all most the same. The talk about set back doesnt have validity. A lot of other things, there seems to be this war on people with means which is sort of hard to believe. I mean i grew up in a small town and was nice when someone with means moved into town, they made a better town and there were tax revenues and contribute thood town and it didnt mean modest means like us were not equally valued but like the improvements in the town where i grew up. The other thing is to paraphrase field ofdromes they will come whether you builds it or not. Wealthy people want to live in San Francisco and they are going live here and they are going compete with other people with the existing housing or you build these units for people who can afford to live in them. So, adding to the supply is only going to help things. It may not be the whole solution. A few other things that come out of the value. First of all one speaker said the inclusionary was 12 percent. If it is on site it is 12 percent and the other speaker said it was 20 percent and by prop c you cannot require a project to build higher than what the voters passed in prop c. They can voluntarily do what they want to do but also prop k says 33 percent collectively. Our goal as a city is to have 33 percent affordable buzz it doesnt mean any one project particularly projects not special usE Development which some speakers brought up which is a different ball game. Some projects are getting port land at all most nuthsing at all and others huge increase in height and bulk so of course as part of the special use they are having more Affordable Housing but this is private land and priferbt project and as it is they are contributing all most 10 Million Dollars to Affordable Housing. Much more valuable than having a few people of lower means being able to live in these expensive units. You are getting all most 10 Million Dollars to use and for housing in places like the tenderloin or anywhere else in the city which will help people out and get leverage for that. If we approved this building if it was higher we would have been allot more affordable dollars for this. A few other things about this project, there have been comment about there environmental parts of it. We are not giving them anything other than what we commonly have exemptions for all most every project. Wind exceedance are lowering the exceedance from 16 to 14 and for the reason because of the way sequa law is we have to still say it is a exceedance if any exist. Same with the parking issue. The parking is felt to be a impact that cannot bow mitigated only when it considered in the context of all the other projects being built in the area because obviously if you replace 550 cars with 1 wn cars the impact is less, but because there is projection of a lot of other cars coming from other projects you have to collectively consider these and therefore that is part of what is being talked to. The exposure for some of the units towards the space in front of the gap building which is a huge amount of exposure technically it isnt far enough. The rear yard is all most never any project in the down town area and limited size is not made to put a rear yard where the yard is, they can put it on decks. And think the sequa thicks brought up dont have much validity to them. The shadow we cant completely mitigate this. 76 percent shadow on rincon park it is not significant and i mentioned the parking a. Few other things this project brings in addition to Affordable Housing fund which is a significant amounts, it is going to one time only contribute 800 thousand towards transit open space because it is in the Transit District which is hurting for money and having trouble getting it funded. All most 2 million towards transportation. This is one time only but over the course of 30 years this project is going to contribute 1. 5 million per year to the mell rose district which it is part of so that is a total of around 43 Million Dollars contribution towards the transit situation and Transit Center and our Transit Needs so these are significant improve ments. For those of you who study history particular of new york you realize park avenue was created a lot as this project and others like it are going to create the transit sent squr down town extension. Before parkarve new there were Railroad Train jz steam engines above ground and nobody liked and them electrified them and took the money from the sale of apartments and condoes to do this project and put the beautiful green space that is over it now. You hardly know trains are under there and end up at Grand Central station so this is how things have to be done so im very much in favor of the project. I think it is a extremely good one. I will probably have other comments later on but im prepared to support it and i thinkalso i compliment graig heartman on the modification where they made the precastair ais wider and less glazing and it makeathize building look more substantial, it doesnt just look like a glass box, it looks like it has definition to it and pleased with the way that design evolved. Commissioner johnson thanks very much. Couple comment and questions. Just first of all i wish we were looking at the larger project because it had more Affordable Housing but that is not where we are and can only look at the projects here and not here to negotiate the project but to look at what we have. A couple comments about the area, i heard comment and maybe interesting to know, this building is in the rincon south beach Redevelopment Area which is next to the transbay redevelopment district which is why this building would contribute to the cfd and that transit redevelopment district has 35 percent Affordable Housing so people want to see neighborhood Affordable Housing go togovernor brown and ask him to bring redevelopment back. I have a quick question about the delegated [inaudible] i think i have a good understanding of what that is. I see ken rich and wonder were you here to answer questions . So sorry, ken. Can someone just explain the delegated authority . Thank you. Did one of you want to take it . Basically it is just for that small 337 square foot parcel and we have to make the findings with rincon point south beach area plan for 337 square feet which we have and that is pretty much it. The reason they are delegating is because it is a tiny piece of a seat. The vast majority of the site is not in the redevelopment laning it is just the 337 square foot triangle at a corner of the site. Thank you. That is helpful. I want to make sure that it wasnt more than that. Just real quick im supportive of this praunlect for a few reasons. It doesnt provide on site housing but we know we cant require on site Affordable Housing unless we have a Development Agreement and i push for those when we can get them and this isnt a case. We comply with the planning code to have on site or pay the fee and the developer is chosen to pay the fee and that is what they are entitled to do is pay that fee. One thing that hasen been brought up is that this building provides really good diversity of units. I see 712 bedroom, [inaudible] particularly with the 3 and 4 bedrooms i see 26 smaller older Housing Stock we dont have to look at drs for because someone is trying to demolish them and build a bigger house. For that reez frn the location i think it fits win the neighborhood but think the larger project could have worked as well. There are a lot of approvals we have to make today so other commissioners have questions about the other things we have to look at i could be supportive of changes but generally supportive. Commissioner woo. So firsta lot of people brought up the extra Affordable Housing money that would have happened but i think it is a problem to think about it that way. I think that we have to look at our Affordable Housing goals on balance and it is not that one project can come in and i know this isnt in front oaf us more and ask for double height and say im giving 10 million. I dont think Affordable House developers should be put in that position to support these big projects in other neighborhoods. It isnt in front och anyone but thing that is the wrong way to think about it. As for this project im glad we are in the remm of the more accurate height. I think the big asks for me fl parking cu and 10 percent height extension. I would like to see something maybe more in the realm of Community Benefits to look at that. I know it is not a one for one with the commission but on balance im not sure those are warranted. Commissioner just a couple comments and hopefully i do think this project fits better contextually. I am support was and think the zoning lends itself to bulker building but think the architect has done a good job articulating that and making it a interesting building. Agree with xhishzer woo wos about Affordable Housing. There are needs for 100 percent Affordable Housing and with redevelopment [inaudible] it is appropriate times to fix the fee instead of on site. We dont have control over that necessarily it is appropriate to fee out. Generally supportive of the project. Commissioner richards could we see the shadow animation, please . Could you walk us through it, please . Starting at the beginning here this shows aarial view of the site june 21 which is the day of maxman impact. The shadow from the project is shown here in blee blue. As we get towards the afternoon there is no impact on the park. Until 6 p. M. When you see the tip of the building and over the next hour and a half the whole park is covered by our building and existing buildings. In the fall and spring the situation is similar but there is significantly less shadow absolutely none until Late Afternoon and spring z fall the shadow touches the northern part of the park here. This day is the winter sul sts december 21 or 22 and there is no impact of the park with the shadow ending further north to the park. I can play it again if that is helpful. Anybody need it again. Question i have on the parking, the architect, if you dont mind. The way the parking is arranged in the garage is that dedicated space because im concern about additional parking . What is proposed is mechanical parking and havent decided if that is acamidated by a automatted steel stacking system or floor slabs. The residence drive to the first level of the garage, leave their car can a valuee or attendant who put it into a machine. It is car storage than parking and it is meant to be space sufficient. Thank you very much. Staff aside from the cu for the parking we are doing a cu for the height . Can you outline what we approving . There is a cu just for parking to exceed 1 to 2 with respect to height we are seeking upper tower extension of 10 percent so the zoning is 200 feet. The code allows for upper tower extension providing the project is slenderized and offering interesting [inaudible] enhances the sky line and there is also a rear yard exception as well as ground level wind currents. Thank you very much. Um, we struggle with this a lault. Boundaries exist and that is why we draw them. As i look at this and search in the back of my head and look at my conscious it isnt on the water front t is a street away. There is a parcel in front of it. It isnt onport property. I was interested in the shadow and how it effects rincon park. Looking at the shadow study and documentation and the bell shaped cover i dont think it is that significant. It isnt require we examine that for prop k shadow but it is interesting thing. We are granting a 10 percent upgrade in the height but if you look they reduced the Square Footage by all most 30 thousand square feet to make a taller slender tower which i like a lot better. It is more taller and slender and less chunky and bulky which from the sky line and urban design view is a much better design idea. Running the numbers and there isi dont know what the additional profit would be on the 2 floors but even at the 2 thousand a square foot with the amount of Square Footage they cut down that was 60 Million Dollars so having a hard time trying to understand, they did forgo money to make a better attractive project and may make more money on the top than the bottom floors. I love to see more Affordable Housing however we are constrained by prop c and go around and agrown r round all the time with the city attorney. We cant demand or exthort project sponsor to do anything other than what is legally required. Im normally a on site person but my thoughts are [inaudible] the Condo Association fees and may seek a exemption for that i think the money may be better spent taking the 10 Million Dollars and put it in a place that is 100 percent affordable and putting it in a place where the [inaudible] cost is less. Thats it. It is something i can support. I agree and the 10 percent on the top is better building than having a bulkier building and with Square Footage you end up with less Square Footage by having that and having the lower floors cut down so think it is a benefit we are not giving them anything, we are reshaping and that is what we are allowed to do. In terms of approvals mr. [inaudible] would you like to do these individually or do them all at once you recommendation is you certify the Environmental Impact report separately from the other entitlements first ill sever to [inaudible] second. Shall i call the question . Commissioner johnson thank you for bringing up 181 free mont i think that is a good analogy. Just quick question on the variances can you explain the [inaudible] street frontage variance . [inaudible] put in the code in section 155 it allows for a 27 foot wide entrance provided the loading for freight and [inaudible] are combined which the project sponsor is doing. In 145 there is a more restrictive provision that states entrances caents exceed 20 feet or 1 3 of the street frontage and because of the conflict it was unintended and imagine down the line [inaudible] because of the conflict variance is required. Okay. Thank you. Commissioner richards one question for staff. We have in the eir super stop 380 foot was the super tall and then reduced height which is 280 or 290 [inaudible] 100 foot alturn trfb should have been evaluated, can you comment on what type of alternatives are evaluated and why would wn00 foot not be looked at . Sequa tells us that [inaudible] the range of alternatives we should analyze in the sequa document and 100 foot tower which is half the size on the site we wouldnt [inaudible] also alternative needs to meet the project sponsor objectives which nob nub would not meet the sponsors objectives. We never look at alternatives that are half of the allowable height . Correct. [inaudible] 35 percent smaller than the original project proposed. Thank you. Commissioners there is a motion and second too certify the Environmental Impact report. Ant teeny,i. [inaudible] commissioner johnson, aye rchlt commissioner richards, aye. Commissioner woo,i. Commissioner faung,i. The motion passes unanimous 6 to 0. Commissioner ant neney, i would like to move the accept onsf the delegation oof authority collectively along with adoption of findings under California Environmental quality act termination of compliance with planning code 309 and the conditional use authorization. Second. Commissioner Richards Commission for project sponsor. There was a i think i read in the foot stack of document squz talked about this there was a offer to maintain park across the street, is that still on the table . That went away with the taller project because the triangle in question is controlled by dpw and the port and that is now not part of our project but if anyone wants a park there we would still like to do a park maybe we can make as a part of the finding the project sponsor has intention of exploring the maintenance of a park should one be created. That work frz me thank you. Commissioner richards sorry. Im good. Commissioners there is a motion that has been seconded. I should ask is that finding amendable to the motion and seconder . Yes thank you. Then commissioners there is motion and second to approve this project with the accept onsf delegation of authority the adoption of California Environmental quality act findings [inaudible] as amended to include a find for the project sponsor to continue seeking to create and maintain a park. On that motion commissioner [inaudible] so moved commissioners that motion passes 5 to 1 with commissioner woo voting against. Ill close the variance hearing to grant the variances with the commission. Thank you zoning administrator. Shall we close this out . Item 16 for case number 20 lane. 04 [inaudible] this is a informational presentation. Commissioners there are a large number of speaker cards. I will suggest giving the hour we may consider reducing the time. So we got a garage issue at 12, right . We got quite a few of these i would remind you this is the second informational hearing, there will be a joint hearing in 2 weeks. Good evening kevin guy can planning staff. Todays item is a informational discussion of the 5 m project. We have been before you with informational items on july 23 and august 6. Previous topics discussed focus on the site design, Land Use Program and urban form more specifically there were detailed discussions of the design for Development Document and Development Agreement as well as focus conversations around wind shadow and pedestrian. August 6 they initiated general plan amendments that would be needed to implement the projenth. Looking forward on the calendar to septumber 17 you have a joint hearing with recreation and Park Commission and that will be the day toconsider certification of the eir, pauject entitledment and shadow impact and a package of legislation associate would the project including the Development Agreement. Today we would like to focus on 3 very specific areas if i can have the overhead. Economic impacts of the project, planning context, inactivation at the ground floor. We have staff from the office of economic work force [inaudible] here to provide greater detail. So first off i would like to bring forth [inaudible] from oawd. Thank you very much. Good evening [inaudible] office of economic and work forcE Development. We were asked to provide a indepth analysis of how the project benefit stack up gaens a project under existing zoning. Is this ready . While there are a number of possible Development Scenarios we can start with basic assumptions. There is no Development Agreement under existing zoneer. The dwerps will maximize Development Capacity by purchasing Transferrable Development right and building allowable height of 160 feet. Existing zoning does not require any housing on the site and therefore a likely scenario would be a build out of mostly office. The zoning doesnt require ground floor retail. There is no protection for the chronicle or [inaudible] building and assume they could be demolished to maximize buildable area. Existing zoning doesnt require ground level open space. You cant see this but so here is a side by side look at the total fees and benefits package and assume existing project. The proposed project [inaudible] generates over 35 million in fees, more than double [inaudible] this is a quick reminder what plachbing staff identified as a Public Benefit and also remind you that the project pub benefit achieves these projectess so take a look at how the [inaudible] the revised projectogenerates 2 twebl units at ami level at 50 percent or low the existing scenario is required to pay job housing linkage on Job Commission and institutional use generating 19 [inaudible] if we apply the same of 25078 thousand used to calculate the 19 million yields 75 total affordable units. There is no housing on site so the projectogenerates 300 percent more affordable units and it [inaudible] of Affordable Housing which we couldnt do under existing zoning. [inaudible] 3. 4 from the Community Benefits. The existing project would junerate just under 12 million in transit impact fees so it is a wash when the ins to the fee but we cant localize the improves. The project pays 1. 5 million to the down town open space fee to be used [inaudible] the project sponsor will build [inaudible] the project sponsor will maintain robust transportation manage lt program. Existing zoning requires standard street and Pedestrian Safety improvements. When it comes to production distribution and repair, there are no pdr jobs on site and no loss ineter scenario. A major contribution to arts and non Profit Office space generated by this project is donation of 12 thousand foot [inaudible] the [inaudible] 60 percent of the [inaudible] in addition to the 5. 4 Million Dollar fee 5 m will make a contribution of [inaudible] existing zoning has no non Profit Office or programming requirements. We assume that the developers of a existing scenario would have to satisfy the 1 percent [inaudible] 3. 5 million of 6. 8 million for the project are above the baseline impact fees and will be used to provide 1 Million Dollars. A Million Dollars to support the [inaudible] and 1. 5 million for non profit organizations to serve the youth and families in the soma neighborhood. Pays a total of 1. 3 million in childcare and school fees and doesnt provide [inaudible] providers. The old mint. The project is looking at 1 Million Dollar to the city to addressing current and future needs. The project protects the conical dumpster and [inaudible] or futurE Development. Existing zoning protects the [inaudible] could result in the demination of conical and [inaudible] and doesnt require any contribution the old mint. Finally, both sunar wroeerize required to pay standard childcare fees but the project provides Youth Development program for a foster growing community. The kitty considers a mixed use project and maximizing acass to the Transit Center. The differences between the 2 scenarios. We were asked to provide a in depth look how the size and benefits package will hold up in the central soma framework. Steve [inaudible] will provide you with that overview. Good evening, steve [inaudible] Planning Department staff. Thank you for staying so late. [inaudible] planning to come to [inaudible] relates to central soma particular as it relates to Public Benefits. Glad to have the student to participate. 5 m and central soma are distinct projects and share the same goals and strategies to desire to acamidate the demand for growth and [inaudible] in terms of how the 2 compare it isnt a easy exercise. Feeurks mrfx can tailther benefits package in a way that cant occur in like central soma that has [inaudible] this includes for example the Gap Financing on Taylor Street and [inaudible] the 1. 5 million for [inaudible] that is the stuff you cant do in the central soma plan. Also nive m is 6 to 12 months ahead of som a with a pucklic benefits program. At soma we are at the begin ofg the discussion of Public Benefits. It isnt a apple to apple comparison or apple to orange, it is like apple to orange seed comparison and hope we can flush out what central soma can be. I have tried my best to figure what we can compare. Firstly i present to you in the june 25 hearing central soma has 10 buckets of Public Benefits. I wone rehash them and that is covered by the 5 m project. I did the analysis of the benefits relative to Square Footage. We have 22. 5 square feet of new Development Expected and generate 2 billion dollars in Public Benefits from the plan. That works to 89 dollars in Public Benefits for every square foot developed. If everything stays as we proposed which it wone but if it did. 5 m is proposed 1. 6 [inaudible] you couldnt see the figures but 75 million shows the [inaudible] i think that accounting fell short the 5 m project [inaudible] we can monetize them to say what would the city have topay to build those if it wasnt paid by the project. We get a total value of 144 million in pub lb benefits. If you divide that by 1. 6 millionair feet that is 90 dollars in Public Benefits so 89 and 90 are the 2 numbers. They are equivalent in those terms. [inaudible] itself has a economic value that i didnt try to calculate. That is all i have at this time. I am happy to answer questions and not sure who is next in the presentation. Thank you, guys. Good evening commissioners my name is [inaudible] with economic and planning systems. We were tasked with looking at the economic and fiscal Impact Analysis for the 5 m project and based on the proposed developmentwell have the slides up here in a second. Based on the proposed project there will be 4100 full time equivalent jobs that will be supported within the project and that activ will generate 2800 jobs in the city that will result from the spendsing by business and employees of the project itself. The jobs will range across various industry and includes a range of skill levels. There will be small scale and shared membership. [inaudible] there will be small scare manufacturing and [inaudible] and other uses as well as active ground floor service. The construction of the project will generate 3700 full time equivalent. If we assume the project will take 3 years to build out that is about 1200 a year in construction. This is a summary of Economic Impacts increasing between what is on site now and what would be supported when the project is built out. There is a the direct impact which is what is supported within the site as well as the indirect and induced impacts that would be triggered in the city by activity in the site. Number tooz note here is the project completion will increase over 500 million labor generated in San Francisco as well as the output of 1 billion. On the fiscal impact side we look at revenues and cost generated to the the cities general fund and right now the fiscal impact from the site is still small at 1. 7 million a year and this impact will go up at build out by a large margin that is illustrated in these charts to 13. 8 million. This is increase of 12. 1 million to the sate every year from new activity in the project and the revenues will comprise of property taxes, gross receipts tax, as well as sales tax among others and the revenues will be available to the general fund and could be used for other Service Within the city. This completes my presentation, happy to answer any questions after and would like to introduce laura who will talk about design next. Good evening. Thank you all for your time. Lets see. Can i go backwards . There we go. So, you heard me speak about design and i just want to highlight 2 key aspects and because of the late hour i think i might speed through the first topic. The 2 topics being mainly or the 3 topics hited and context, the ground floor and open space design and we talk about this before but we wanted to get a little more specific for you so you understood what it means on the ground and how the [inaudible] relates to that. Height, we can go back if you have questions but in interest of time ill skip to the ground floor and wanted to put together the context of height. This is within 3 blocksquite a few build ings in the 3, 400 and above range. The design of the site is lent itself to bay bridge between down town and lower rise that we see in parts of western soma and that happens largely through the split between the up and down zoning so 50 percent of the site is up phroneed and 50 percent you. And as ive mentioned before the premises is trying to pick up on the fabric and how the open spaces have spun off the Mission Street as weve put time into how that fantastic is onsite and offsite and then on the ground floor itself so the public realm as ive mentioned is really designed as to celebrate the system of alley ways for the creation of the center that linked to the rooftop with the activation throughout so one the key things im to be about two more minutes if that is acceptable thank you a couple key things one as is Standard Practice were activating retail and activation observe the mission and howard and fist what is add in the project the focus on activation in the alleyways and open space that is scored by the score building that depended on a task to study that this and as a result of the open space heres f the view of ground floor spaces and what you get is the series of spaces and here are a couple works on admitting it is required to be neighborhood serve scale retail under 5 thousand square feet spaces of retail and it could be Something Like that a design that is filled out as you can see the examples looking counsel mary the mary court and weve have found a lot in trying to create a program that will promote art and partners and intersection in others examples of that then the public elevators we think that rooftop open space a tremendous opportunity attire San Francisco we dont have public opportunities for a Vantage Point a Alice Griffith a little bit of the ground floor that this is explicitly connected to the other open space of mary court and north all about the high line a number of elevators there are opportunities in how we make that a design or art element itself on the rooftop part of how you make a rooftop work make it a designation weve encouraged garden agriculture the examiner portion that is remained well calling that a cocky praise from the lower level to the ground floor . A great opportunity for Something Like a bike kitchen or a workshop space that is in the conditional use permits that is required to be a nonoffice space some kind of retail commitment there is an existing kitchen run by the chronicle in the building at the center of the site and as i mentioned neighborhood retail throughout the all of the ground zero the new construction buildings will be neighborhood serve scale under 5 thousand only an allowance if it is Something Like a market hall independent vendors this is an idea how the salvation works with the mary street and such weve added assess off the central space that creates eyes on the street and through into the buildings and also their users the Historic Building in terms of art and assess we require zaz on every block frontage for rail and the building circulation and a couple of things in the package for the 17 that has at restrictions weve increased the restrict on the retail you can only have active office space not permitted in the ground floor of the other construction building the 5 thousand square feet to make it has an added and as you may know there are requirement the minimum retail and all the buildings and no requirement for transparency with that, ill hand off to dan no. Im going to wrap up with a few comments commissioners that is a last hearing we tried to do in this presentation answer simply of our questions about the reDevelopment Agreement and at comparison to central selma and so on the issue it the height and the relationship to the rest of the skyline and i realize the hour is quite late if we could get a couple images up the one thing ill mention a couple of things that has been since the 1985 zone thats been the case for thirty years the other thing ill mention about the sud it is not helpful thank you the other thing about the sud this is a big enough site that we will likely do an sud on this site because of the multiple buildings on this site we typically do in fact, every case weve done an sud with a development so i think that likely would have been the scenario on the site it ma been incorporated into the downtown plan into the central selma plan with respect to the urban form issues a couple of things to point out this site represents the ends the downtown the bulk of the downtown skyline and as of now the bulk the skin. Ends when our going to the west with the conditional hotel not the best way to end the skyline the other thing that allows the transition the intuition is a combination of the at all building these on fist and the smaller buildings a transition that is created that is almost impossible and given the Historic Buildings for there to be taller building on mission and you dont achieve a higher height until you get to van ness you have it, if you will, dropping two the two and rising up our sense and my sense this site represents an opportunity to kind of crate an edge to the downtown, if you will, that doesnt happen blont this allows us to do that with a transition between the new higher buildings and the open space and the higher building to the rest with that, well close our presentation and open up to Public Comment if i could thank everyone for your comments and acknowledge kevin guy has been the planner on this project since day one as work hard and can be a planner on the downtown kooevenz last day with the department is tomorrow kevin as grayish stated tonight to working to present this project i thank him insensitive of the work he has to get down his excellence work and wish him well, the good news hell be in the building even though working for a Different Agency we wish him well, so thank you clapping. commissioners that the second informational presentation youve heard on this subject the project will be coming before you in two weeks with a joint hearing with rec and park so the Commission Chair has determined one minute there will be the a lot of time for Public Comment the commissioners do need to get to a parking before midnight didnt leave a lot of time for discussion calling names if your name has been called please approach the mroum and line up on the screen side.

Next speaker if your name has been called line up on the screen side.

Good evening, commissioners going to take put this down, i did a quick model i was interested as an x gardener what the open space would be like. Is sfgov still here . Just a second. They must have gone home. Is there a way to zoom out . So my concern was about the open space use because it is inside the court and the shadow from the south and east there wouldnt be any light until mid afternoon or Late Afternoon thats the shadow this is all you know this is like 11 oclock in the morning so ill not going to have open space where people sit and watch farmers market, etc. That all dont think direct sunlight or lots of ambient light or defused light so if there could be adjustments to the heights the open space might be more activated thank you hello marlene coalition for San Francisco neighborhoods we do have a resolution ive sent and leave it here i had a a sinking feeling based on director rams comments of the edge of the building in the downtown area and the edge of the van ness corridor highrise district i have a feeling those edges are going to be creeping closer and closer 80 together with a gigantic block down van ness hopefully not we hope at the coalition more thought and a very detailed presentation of alternatives thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Commissioners my name is tony im a boards president of the manila foundation our mission to honor and preserve the legacy of the hotel of the Filipino Community in the vanilla town lost their Development Like for Developers Like this lets not make bones the developer cares about thE Development E Development not us theyve rated you are elders that promises of Senior Housing no guarantees of that what i foresee is that a similar situation you youre going to have high ends housing and people of the filipino communities will be seriously impacted were canadas you take no action at least until december to allow the communities to be demands to be considered and their responses to be looked in a serious way and real responses be provided thank you. Good evening, commissioners my name is vivian executive director of filipino multi center commissioners the filipino population that we serve is in crisis it is very hard for us to understand how this proposed project including the Affordable Housing it proposes for to help our people now in terms of the past years the increasing the filipinos being evicted this project unfortunately will not really meaningfully benefit our community by the time the Affordable Housing that is being proposed is constructed my community will be gone so obvious that the most urgent need of filipinos to be able to stay that in their homes not south of market my question what is being done to stop the eviction of any people how did that project and others respond to the present concern it seems obvious commissioners first, the filipino thank you, maam your time is up. Good evening, commissioners my name is mary im with the Veterans Center through all the presentation and at commission the project sponsor has not shown renderings of what the project looks like for the 5 m project from all angles on Mission Street and mary street and Howard Street luke down each street both directions east and west or north and setting in the veerments marketing materials that hats been manipulated it appears that the windows are not to scale it is difficult to find a scared scaled rendering that portrays what is allowed by code and the additional height and bulk by the project sponsor we demand no action be taken by the commissioners, that motion passesing Planning Commission on 5 m fee allow time for the demands to be considered and real responses be provided thank you. Good evening, commissioners my name is louis im with the veterans Equality Center the workingclass community and Small Businesses and nonprofit are on the road to extinction because of developments like 5 m to no analysis of displacement rent increases and evictions specifically resulting from 5 m project one thing for sure the neighborhood will feel the impact of the theres Property Values because of zoning the consequential the neighborhood will be unaffordable for workingclass families and Small Businesses and nonprofits why cant we collectively prepare for all things coexist families are protected you cant make luxury condos in Office Towers in the workingclass neighborhood without the consequences we demand no action taken by the Planning Commission on 5 m until december for the demands to be considered and the responses to be done. Hello, im teresa a resident of south of market i want to know your criterias when chicagos a developer im looking for an architect and billed like my lord father god this is not this developer in order to get what we want their dividing our community theyre willing to play dirty and prevented theyre actually looking out for the welfare of our community you know that the clearly know a gentrification you you know that we will lose our entire neighborhood entirely you know that this if you base all your decisions about this is description and because youre turning to blind eyes of reality that is prejudiceism i believe that it is cause for a lawsuit and now we be guided by our faith and. Thank you, maam. Your time is up. Thank you. Good evening chris from the Veterans Center i urge you to delay this until december or later on. I was working on the family zone a while ago we were working on the youth and family zone it disheartened me no presentation from our staff it is not just our zone our zone in the code and youve not had any contributions how to say effecting the youth sud i would like you to consider that before you move forward and looking at the interests of the neighborhood to canned it to central selma that was the idea with us being involved with the Community Planning process if you dont include this youre turning a blind eye to our primary purpose to defend the code thank you. Thank you. Im Bryan Webster i live on o feral street about thirty years thank you very much for your time and service i want to support of selma Action Committee and join that the Planning Commission take no action until december 10th to allow time for the Community Demands and concerns be fully and the and responded to i am a Small Business person im a Founding Member of the hub and doing research ive been reading articles about the rise of the innovation districts around the United States im all for innovation it is clear where this is going and knock out the Filipino Community south of market unless forest city does something sit down and meets with the selma Action Committee and comes up with a plan that explicit eliminate the Filipino Community San Francisco even more than that is now thank you. Hello my name is sole working with snack and this is Something Different the 5 m project is a quiet block they get little traffic but if sfmta and forest city have incurred the city the super sized structure will harm fully increases the automobile and truck traffic on quiet streets those carriers an additional 8 hundred car trips to say nothing of 50 or more large trucks the people that work and live on those streets are the substance abuseers and homeless and others i cannot imagine the its vision zero plan those are small alleys this project i request this throughout fully mitigation efforts thank you. Sir, your time is up. Good evening it is almost good morning. My name is a bashing a resident of selma im a real novelist this is my first go around understanding the way Planning Works and things in the city i have to say it is daelgd to hear if you pay enough money youll have without exemptions or exemptions you want and it is in a guys it is good for the city so what is the message it maybe good for the city but also george all of the careful planning and zoning that has gone on as far i want to say im wondering when zoning became just a suggestion. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Hi from the Mission Collaborative i want to kaushgsz to the screen over here. The resolution recommending the rec and park postpone their votes on the 5 m project until further studies are repeated that was passed unanimously a couple of days ago by the rec and Park Citizens Advisory Committee theyre clearly saying they need to have more studies and need to postpone that this is not just being said by Community Members but this is a committee of the city that is saying to postpone this project until further studies are completed sorry i dont have any more copies but it is a clear indication you need to ask formal postponement as well thanks. Good evening. Im andy blue supporting the Action Committees can understand this be detailed until december until the concerns are heard the cumulative impacts of the 5 m project must be analyzed the draft central selma plan that is a step down transition from the east of the site to the mid and mixed use buildings to the west the eir it bans the definitely central selma plan that didnt include the height and bulk as prototype, if any, i project sponsor the central selma eir didnt include the analysis of the shadows and massive passing furthermore the central selma eir doesnt incorporate those in the context of how to mitigate the impacts as it is implemented carving out the 5 m project medians the cumulative impacts have not on analyzed and needs to be done before anything boom. Hold on one second. Do we have 4 . Are you set to go. No. Were sitting here. Sorry. Are we doesnt. Hello, im teresa part of the selma Action Committee at this time we would like to see a rail economic study that needs to show the impacts of rents for surrounding residence and businesses up zoning and spot zoning have not been in regards to help the displacements and the evictions that project will cause we have a analysis of the economic benefits that will be confederacy to the timing increased revenues from the buildings and the increase the value of lands there should be a impartial analysis to increase the benefits in values confederacy by 5 m we would like to see the real impact economic study on this. Good evening commissioners im gail speaking as president of the latino club in San Francisco and personal story my father when we came out in 1960 tleltdz in the south of market he was being fed by something a community of workingclass were seeing in not just in the south of market by all over San Francisco . An Esteem Development that is happening were asking for the commission to look at delaying this are this until december 10th so the communities can have impact i think the 5 m with no special use district will be aquate to consider if were norwalk a plan for the mission how wide we know youre coming to follow that plan if youre not following this one we dont want to carve out 5 m but preserving our cultural and the club. Thank you. Hello commissioners my name is lisa with cultural action i support the action demands i wonder with the workingclass neighborhood gets to be considered a valuable resource in the city it seems like to be less and less something we preserve as value and instead becomes a place of an opportunity to change. Wheres the analysis of the displacement for increased rents and evictions this project whether cause what you add this 5 m project weve seen it in the mission id like to continue to see the diversities in the city and just every time we come here if so about taking away from a community that has been here forever and adds its own flavor thank you hello commissioners peter culture Action Network i run the theatre i wouldnt want to reiterate were seeing this around the city now i i know in some ways some of you feel trapped by the code youre working with but youre hearing i think a clear story repeated over and over i think there are certain simple things to make sure you, you have the full amount of requisite studies by the selma Action Committee there is little to be lost and you will really be could go our Due Diligence by saying this is an easy achievable thing to not have the kind of negative impacts your hearing from the communities under those a great concern so, please lets wait until december thank you. Commissioners joseph south of Market Community Action Network i want to clarify one thing people heard as hit the ground running i think the Community Knows more been planning than the mraif theyre saying c3 this is downtown support not only downtown support it is actually in the central selma plan that was the eastern neighborhoods plan and continues to be downtown support the proposal from the developer not to change it from downtown support but changing the use by changing the height and bulk so radically it acts as c3 look at the height and bulk the Community Know more about planning than you do we varntd heard anything in responding to the planning only about view corners and such and the aesthetics of the skyline thank you. Good morning, commissioners im angelina with so on take care we find is dangerous the entire not just for selma but the entire city the Planning Department has been working closely with the project sponsor on a project that sdaurdz the fact if San Francisco is a proud city with existing zoning weve heard the comments were making are late in the process to the contrary to our coalition has been working on, on Community Neighborhood for decades the south of market was born out of the gentrification and displacement that is happening in 2000 people like jimmy has been working on planning, zoning since the 70s and 80s so we do weve been part of this kind development and we want to see this development hold off until december thank you. Hi, good evening. Im lift evry voice and sing i didnt been in selma almost a decade i support 5 m and speaking for the youth not only for the youth but the seniors i have a senior aunt 5 m will benefit the youth because a theyve provide open space for them especially theyre supporting you know more projects for the youth and we the person indicated Affordable Housing we need Affordable Housing in our community thats all thank you. Good evening, commissioners eric coordinating district were here in support of our brothers and sisters in selma to clay this project until december 1st thing weve got to make sure the details are really ushg9d be worked out i poke to some that does know a ami or guaranteed for them all those details need to be worked in order for the benefits really to benefit the community what weve seen in the mission the short term benefits is a detrimental project we need to slow down and benefit the people long term thank you very much. Gentleman im ricky live in potrero hill i worked with the mix folks in helping to bring to our attention what is happening in the mission i had a photo i didnt studio on this site im familiar with the selma neighborhood i just building that you need to support the selma Action Committees request for time to adequately sort out what is going on it is too big, too much, too fast without enough complalz of understanding what is going on thank you. Is there any additional Public Comment okay Public Comment is closed. Commissioner johncks. I guess i agree with angelina thank you for this request it is late in the process finally we have it in our hands a 14 page with an attachment i read it and glad we had it wish we had that a long time ago were two weeks away from the scheduled program the first one i guess the last time we met i asked for an Economic Impact about 3 weeks ago i got it in my hand Environmental Impact report read it while i was on vacation im not sure i read into the record it was something we kind of staff framed for the Mission Interim controls im sorry. Its getting late the studies which are proposed to housing increases of doctors and flooifg the shifting characteristics of the selma neighborhood other issues the study must looked at how to affect the cost of demographics the residents and must have the Community Uses one the neighborhood that result from the changes that is the language were considering for the Mission Interim controls so i literally like to see that two weeks might not be enough time ive talked with steve i guess this was maybe played into some of the requests we saw from the community id like to take circle and pit this interest of the circles in the displacement pressures this critical listed in anything like that mind theirs protections under place for the uses and residence in the vicinity including the citys anti conversion protecting the hotels and the San Francisco rent control ordinance against unreasonable rent rising and eviction particularly angle 6th street id like to see a quarter of a mile around the project site to illustrate what theyre trying to see hey heres an sro lets color it; four, the conversions owners and heres Affordable Housing operated by a nonprofit heres all the parcels that are two units or more built before 1979 pay the feces fees on the tax and Data Collection we can get 0 sense that will help the neighborhood and help some of us concerned about displacement along with the Environmental Impact study id like to work on that with staff steve thought it was a great idea i didnt center a time this morning, im send it tomorrow in an email id like to read through that mr. Rich we see over time what happens if people are getting evicted well see on the map from the color of green to red we have baseline what the protections are you think with the preferences legislation that is coming down the pike that helps the preferences where if you live within the district of Affordable Housing you get it your first in line behind the redevelopment ones the ellis act ones that helps so i think those are one all big thing under displacement and informing all the ted egon report anybody know where this ted egon report is the effects on displacement. Ken oewd im told out within a week it took longer than he expected so i will try to push it so youll have a week to read it. Alleyway and on displacement no direct displacement were dealing with parking lots and Office Buildings that kind of indirect displacement that the eir mentioned several serve times in response to the comments the public and organizations is have submitted that will be helpful and some of the other asks you could go down the list and check off those quickly the code compliant study weve heard several times tonight, im nearly there on the code compliant alternative looks like we have the fees sibdz with the project site and maybe additional thimbles to do i think the community we can give you that and could be with questions that will answer a lot of your questions perp the code compliant alternative is not as attractive as this project now you know end up with something completely different but a code compliant build out will also increase the displacement pressure and eviction pressure and other pressures when we come back next time look at the shadow on howard that will help people understand the impacts the shadow it powerful and an animation we talked about before and then the filipino Cultural Heritage district i know mike from San Francisco heritage and ive been talking about it and hes been talking with better known indict in the filipino who spoke in the Filipino Community theyre willing to be the lead agency we need to define what it is and how much it costs and rick in the Mayors Office didnt seem like another money but to hire a consulate and get it in the interpretation of street signs those are very, very expensive things im glad to have the list there are things to do hopefully in a couple of weeks im working with that with anyone and get this over the line thank you. Commissioner johnson. Thank you very much yeah. I appreciate again everybody being out here and thank you commissioner johncks for your comments i again like to thank the communities especially so moved cam having their thoughts in writing i met you guys and i want to help you know what is going to make that project better and a or help to preserve the neighborhood but i cant get general outlets it is good to look at this and see what is actionable im looking forward to the report it will be helpful the one thick i want to say in terms of looking at what can we do about the project there is certainly some physical aspects of the project we can talk about here and there when you overall it does what it is supposed to do with dents and giving Community Benefits to the community what is administrative reviews to talk about what can we do about potential impacts of the rest of the neighborhood ive heard applying to do further negotiation that would involve the developer of forest city helps the neighborhood impacts it will not because forest city doesnt ownership own or control the lots in the selma neighborhood has nothing to do with we need to talk about what can we do with the city in terms of potential development controls or other ways of the neighborhood Preference Program it will be in hypocritical that doesnt also solve all the problems thats the releases communication not other 5 m the neighborhood proefrpgs preservation lets talk about that and has nothing to do with to forest city they dont control that land and so saying thats what ill talk about with the members that are interested and separate those two communications a little bit. Commissioner wu. Thank you so i two things i would like to see more analysis on the use of family zone how it overlays i know that weve worked on other projects where the zone has come up before i continue to feel challenged noted enough land use controls in the zone a great policy statement but hard to make a Land Use Decision those changes will not be made quickly but many process needs to come quickly to add the land use controls in the zone id like to see the consideration for the triggers on the air force one Public Commenter said may not guaranteed so when is the land transferred and the certify of occupancy. If i may commissioner, i did address this last time the land is transferred when the project sponsor pulls the Building Permit they may not pull the Building Permit until they own the land. It is the m1 building. Because no specific orders in which the project sponsor buildings either the m1 triggers that. Both of them have residential. No, because of the way we have the Affordable Housing triggering and what about construction and the certify of occupancy. The way the Development Agreement works the first building triggers both the transfer of land, a small amount of prefab and the complete coverage of the taylor site so the 18 millions taylor thats the first building regardless schon comes first that is the land tramp if they when we build the other building sf if h1 is first m1 n one sorry its late they we get the rest of the money for the Senior Housing site. Okay. Okay. And then more broadly on the neighborhood and displacement and those pressures so im supportive of this idea that commissioner richards had around the mapping project a lot of the work has been done by the project but i want to say that all of the protections are being theyre really go challenged right now through the ellis act and harassment so having those protections isnt enough we have double down on the protection and protection of rentcontrolled units. Commissioner moore. I want to follow up often what commissioner wu said about her district in the eastern neighborhood ive heard they dont believe that the detail it is necessary in order to make the protects for the soma can effect the art in plays it is a broad stated policy are with no treating weve founds ourselves in similar situations trying to find the means to help the youth and zone admitting to ourselves it is a lot of lip Service Really nothing by which the stability or Strong Foundation which we can rest building up of the Culture Heritage district can provide for the protection one genocide that crossed my mind what the by line in the 5 m project would have helped to be better working. The other point i never understood or understand why this project has to with a mixed use district the downtown plan says to keep downtown in small parcels credentially and avoid the use and effect of the center for example, where a Large Assembly of blocks other than that was done by embarcadero would ever happen again not to say that downtown is a location for a special use district with that said, ive seen welldesigned and i think urban design plan for that this strongwilled designed well phased project with increments in the sud and the nature the decisions we make do i have to last for the entire length of the project which could be 10 or 20 or more years with no further input by itself communities the one thing we say nothing it constant but change to free the large site downtown for that length of time is counter to how it works it is completely counter to increment change youre stuck i wrote a letter to the director and commented developing on one the project on the sud of park merced i realized now having ability to discuss the broader positive or negative ramifications of decisions that have been made to change from the images weve seen those are only images and promises and only words as we move to implement that project none of us who sits in the room have any say thats not to say the people that are not skillful unless the city should look at billings that way. Commissioner hillis. So first thank you to the Planning Department staff and city staff you did a great job around the initial was concerned what a code compliant project looks like compared to what is being proposed in i echo commissioner johncks statement i think it is clear that it is kind of from the height works here the project with the da and is benefits that come out of that works a lot better than a code compliant project director ram spoke eloquently about the height it can take it . Got to be the way of short of Ballot Initiatives or bonds issues we get to affordability levels that exceeds the 12 percent we see in most projects the way to protect against the next wave and next wave on Affordable Housing and thats the key in this project i appreciate that comparison thank you. Commissioner johnson. Thanks very much two quick things commissioner moore he see where youre coming from ive seen this working in redevelopment weve talked about how frustrating to work project by project basis were not able to look at a neighborhood and look at what were doing this give us an opportunities you can august whether or not you like the project were looking at but i appreciate the fact were able to look at a large slice for one and say what do we want out that this project by project i want to also echo with commissioner moore said when i made a point having a further discussion of the preservation in the neighborhood i think i was kind of keying off something commissioner wu said some of the protections are constantly being challenged some of the protections dont exist theyre not in the books were george them some of the protections in terms of the neighborhoods preservation we may need to look at other cities or works to create something in San Francisco that doesnt exist thats my point i feel strongly that was a separate confusion on the 5 m project. Thank you staff for the late hour presentation and the public for sticking around and passion in what capacity and consistent that commission at this late hour there is consensus whether the filipino district and families displacement assures of delivery as it could be a decade or two before we see the ends of this phased communication so looking forward to seeing this project back in two weeks additional a few things that are taken away from this discussion.

Discussion and action, resolution no. 542015. Madam chair. Madam director, im sorry. Thank you madam secretary. Good afternoon to the commissioners and good afternoon to the members of the public. Thank you so very much for joining us. Commissioners, the item for your consideration today really is a product of decades of work and it truly is a potentially a momentous consideration if you approve this action today, which is the transfer of property at Hunters Point shipyard. Its been well over a decade since the last transfer was approved. Since that time weve engaged in a process with several regulatory agencies the navy and other third party and redundant reviews as done by the San Francisco department of Public Health as well as our independent environmental consultant lang tread low willow to ensure the property here before you, which is about 14 acres, which form the backbone of the infrastructure for the land plan thats been vetted and approved and approved by the voters really is the spring board for the balance of thE Development as well as early seating from innovation corridor. Weve taken all due appropriate Due Diligence. And now are ready before you for you to consider these actions. So with that id like to ask han zen drew whos the Hunters Point candle stick point senior. And shell also drew other members of the team here as well. Thank you executive director bohi. Thank you gonzales and other members of the commission. Id like to thank members joining us today. Including doris, vincent and marry booker. We are also joined by amy from the San Francisco development of Public Health and christina lane of our independent contractor environmental consultant. Lain tread will and low low. We are joined by patrician mcfad p from the u. S. Department of navy. Jackie lane from the United States Environmental Protection agency. They are the lead Environmental Agency on the clean up. And we are also joined by sue hail hoe da from urban Master Development partner. To provide a quick overview as we all know in 1974, the United States navy closed operations at the shipyard. The shipyard was then placed on the comprehensive Environmental Response compensation and Liability Act circa in 1989. The federal facilities agreement was enter into between the navy and the regulatory agencies in 1992. This agreement allowed the clean up work at the shipyard to begin. And then in 2004 the conveyance agreement was entered into between the navy and Redevelopment Agency now ocii. Also in 2004 the navy transferred the first hill top and hillside along the first phase of development to the Redevelopment Agency. And now for the First Time Since then the three additional parcels uc1, uc2, and d2 are ready for transfer. So in terms of the agenda, my presentation, im going to provide some background olt parcels that are now ready for transfer and go from the steps required to go to the conveyance as well as give overview documents required to execute the transfer finally overview of next. indecipherable . Sorry. Yes. Slow down a little. Ill slow down. [chuckling]. Trying to get in under my 20 minutes. So to provide some background on the parcels, uc1, uc2 and d2, here they are in context of thE Development. You have candle stick here along with the shipyard. And on the left side of the screen is the transfer schedule for the parcels as you can see a and a 1 have already been completed and the future conveyance schedule is listed there as well. The into the shipyard side of thE Development project, here in red, yellow, and orange are the three parcels that are ready for transfer. Specifically looking at parcel d2, this parcel is comprised of approximately six acres. It includes building 813 currently. And it will be developed in the future into commercial development specifically research and development uses. Next parcel is uc1. Which is comprised of four acres. Uc stands for utility corridor. Sto that means its currently roads and infrastructure thats used on the shipyard. And its use is similarly commercial development, research and development. And finally we have parcel uc2. This is 4acre site, which is similarly a utility corridor kurnltly comprised of roads and infrastructure. It will be developed into mixed use including community facilities, specifically a part of the future artists studio building will be developed on parcel uc2. And it will additionally include some residential properties. The parties to the transfer are of course the United States department of the navy. Theyre the current land owner of all the parcels on the shipyard with the exception of parcel a, which was transferred in 2004. The u. S. Navy is responsible for all the Environmental Remediation thats happening out at the site. The office of Community Investment and infrastructure is another party to the transfer. We currently own portions of parcel a. Should this be approved, well become owners of uc 1, uc 2, and d 2. And then our Development Partner will develop the land they receive from ocii through the process outlined in phase 2 position and Development Agreement. Additional folks who are parties to the transfer are the regulatory agencies. Those include the lead agency, the u. S. Environmental protection agency, and in addition to the California Department of toxic substances and control also known as dtsc. Also Regional Water Quality Control board. Their responsibilities are to approve ceqa nn and then after transfer they do have ongoing monitoring and enforcement responsibilities. Other involved agencies include the California Department of health. And of course our own San Francisco department of Public Health. The San Francisco dph reviews and comments all remediation documents and reports leading up to the transfer. And then they do have continued oversight after transfer through article 31. This is my favorite slide, which i have stolen from the department of Public Health, which demonstrates just how iterative the process of conveyance leading up to the clean up is. The arrows represent the various ceqa decisions that must be approved in advance of conveyance and also show opportunities for Public Comment and discussions with the regulatory agencies. Brings that diagram out and parking it, there are these are the documents that are really fundamental to the conveyance. So, as i already went over, the fall facilities agreement and the conveyance agreement, the ceqa final remedial design which includes the land use control remedial design, remedial action completion report and this all leads up to finding of suitability to transfer. After transfer, the covenant to restrict use of property or indecipherable xp and Risk Management plan are critical documents. Going into more detail about which regarding these documents the federal facilities agreement was entered into in 1992. The parties to that agreement are the navy and regulatory agencies. And this document established the framework for the schedule developing, implementing, and monitoring the appropriate remediation actions that are required in accordance with ceqa as well as other appropriate state and federal laws. These ceqa documents that are overseen that are part of this process include the record of decision, which identifies the clean up method that the navy will use. The final remediation design, which includes the land use control remedial design. And that document describes the clean up method that will be implemented at that point thats actually just created that is shared with the public before any work begins. The remedial action itself is the work that is performed by the navy in accordance with the remedial design, which leads up to a completion report. The remedial action completion report or racr. This document describes the clean up axtivities. Review and provide comment on this report and the navy is required to address any concerns the have. And then transfer or sof outlines clean up that will transfer with the property. This document must be reviewed and agreed to by the regulatory agencies. inaudible . The conveyance agreement the parties to that are the former Redevelopment Agency now ocii and the navy. This agreement sets a specific clean up standard that the navy must comply with per the Hunters Point shipyard reDevelopment Plan. And it requires the navy meet those clean up standards in advance of offering the parties to ocii for acceptance. The conveyance, which is in front of you today, has three conditions to it. The first is that the navy must determine the planned development will not present a risk to human health or safety and that the property has been remediated to the level described in the conveyance agreement. Second, the regulatory agencies must conquer with the navys determination that the parts were suitable to transfer. And lastly the navys quitclaim deeds must be consistent with agreement and acceptable form to oci smed. So to walk through each of those, the first is that the navy must determine that the planned development does not present a risk to human health or safety. And that the property has been remediated to the levels we all previously agreed to. The navy makes that determination through the fost finding of suitability to there have. Fost was issued in 2012 and parcels for uc 1 and uc 2, the fost wassished in march 2015. Concur with the navys ready to transfer. They do this through a concurrence. For parcel d 2, the regulators published their concurrence in 2012. And for uc 1 and uc 2, the navy concurred with the forest in 2015. The last code and condition is navy quitclaim deeds must be in acceptable form to okci itched. Reviewed krit claim deeds for all three parcels and we have found them in conveyance with the. So after transfer, there are certain functions that are put in place to ensure that the parcels are handled in a way that is protective of health and safety. And the first of those is through the department of Public Health. And article 31 authority. That permits the San Francisco department of Public Health to review all permits for consistency and compliance that the regulatory controls. Ask they continue to monitor and force these regulations during building. Actually sig toir to permit closeout before any occupancy of development on the 14eu7 yard. There are also land owner responsibilities, which ill go over in detail. And those are to first comply with the covenant and deep restrictions. Those two have the same requirements. So im just going to go into the krup. But note that the Deed Restrictions mirror whats required by the krup. And also future land owners must comply with the Risk Management plan for development activities. After transfer, the navy does still have continuing responsibilities. First they are responsible for any clean up thats required after transfer. So should any unforeseen or unanticipated spots become noticed, the navy would be called in to do a remedial action on those. Theyre also required to continue, maintain, monitor and report on ground water dispp and finally for future parcels, which isnt applicable to the parcels in front of you today, theyre required to perform shoreline protection. And continue to monitor engineered caps on shoreline parks and the land itself. So more details on that covenant to restrict use of property. This is a restriction that will come with exclusively parcels uc 1 and 2 and not d2. The responsible parties for this are the future land owners. And its overseen and implemented by the California Department of toxic substances and control. California dtsc, who is one of those ssa sig toirs. The krup is incorporated by reference into the deed and obligates fiewrnlg land owners to certain tasks that safety. Require future land owners not to grow edible vegetables in native soil. Use the ground water, or do activities that stir up the durable cover or any monitoring rules. In addition in designated areas, futurE Development will be occupancy of futurE Development will be restricted unless those new developments are designed in a way to mitigate for soil vapors. And finally, future owners are required to annually inspect and report on compliance with these restrictions. Inspect, maintain, and repair the durable cover in accordance with the maintenance plan. Theres also a Risk Management plan. The future parties to that are the future land owners. And it applies to parcels again, uc1 and uc2 but not parcel d2. This document requires regulatory agencies certain. On the property. If these protocols arent followed. If the activities would fall outside that rnp, then the developer would be responsible for seeking approval of a separate work plan. So the activities are permitted under the rnb are excavation and grading of area less than one acre. Excavate right of away for repair and maintenance of underground utilities. The demolition of hard scape hard scape would be the durable cover. If it is removed, it must be reinstalled. And lastly Horizontal Development has been improved, then vertical development may proceed. So a key to ocii in moving forward with this transfer is a Fourth Amendment to the interim lease which is also in front of you for your consideration. The interim lease is an agreement between ocii and our Development Partners that defines Property Management responsibilities to them. This amendment will additionally assign Land Management responsibilities to comply with these regulatory requirements for future land owners, including of course compliance with the krup and Deed Restrictions. The developer would be responsible to on ocii behalf conduct annual inspection reports and provide any payment of fees due to dtsc or the regulators and additionally our Development Partner would be responsible for the durable cover, maintenance and repair. So in terms of next steps, we will be working to complete the transfer of the parcels with your approval today. And well additionally endeavor to execute the Fourth Amendment to the interim lease of the developer. In terms of upcoming transfers, next anticipate transfer of parcels g, b1 and ir 17. And then in 2017, we are looking forward to the transfer of parcels d2, and uc 3. I would also like to make a quit note that the numbers of phrases in the result clause of the resolution thats in front of you today, that pertain to the Environmental Review, we would like to revise the numbering for clarity. So the final form will change slightly from the version thats in front of you today. Its not a substantive edit. Its just a renumbering for to provide c clarity. And with that i ask the folks here today are available to answer your questions. Thank you. Do we have any speaker cards . Yes, we do. Doris. Norman. And oscar. Can you please come forward . Good afternoon, commissioner. My name is doris stenson. And i find that the documents in front of you has addressed all of our concerns about the transfer, and im hoping that you will approve and pass this today. Thank you. Commissioners, director rosales. Counsel. I can only echo what miss stinson said. We are all here. We are hoping today that you will move on this item so we can continue to move forward. And we came all the way we have a little more road to travel. So were hoping that you will pass this so we can be continuing to go ahead and get this big job at the shipyard and everything over with. And so, indecipherable questions. Im not a environmentalist or anything, but hopefully have answered all the questions. Were ready to continue on with the cleaning effort and get to the part where we get to the vertical development on the ships yard. Thank you so much. Doing such a wonderful job. Thank you. Good afternoon. Oscar james. I can see it every time i come. Hunters point. And one of the first ones who served on Hunters Point shipyard under the honorable joseph when they closed the shipyard in 70. When i served in 73. They closed in 74. But im in favor of this particular project, but i do have problems with and i know its going to be coming up pretty soon. C and d 2. I want that 100 clean. But this particular project, i support it 100 . And i was one of the first ones to bring it to the mayors attention. Also the navys attention that the shipyard had been polluted. Thank you very much. But i am in supportive this. Thank you. Es pe doe la jackson. Good afternoon. Good afternoon. Will you please. Down to 235. Ready . Im ready. I want you to go to the last page and see what it says on the last page. The conclusion. That conclusion was down to leiveth. 2011. And you need to go on your computer and get the file number thats on what i just given to you. Because its a 37page packet. And i refuse to give any more of my paper out, because you all take up donation from me for me to buy my paper. You know. We have a large problem in bay view Hunters Point. You know, people dying. And we had set up a task force a couple of months ago to have all the regulatory agencies come and be a part of whats happening in bay view Hunters Point. The deaths that are occurring. And when you hear and see 20 people dying within a 2month period, someone needs to be concerned about whats going on in bay view Hunters Point. And what the sad part is is that most of the people that are making these decisions dont live in bay view Hunters Point. And what i would like for you all to do, because this is granted to you some years ago, is that this commission come out to the community and let the Community Know exactly what you are doing. Ive asked this before. You can meet 1800 oak deal and the picture. That would be a good place for you all to come and listen to the people that live there and whos going through all of these turmoils there in our community. I dont want you all just to be a rubber stamp for something because it sound good. We have to know that it is good, and its good for the people. And whether because we, you know we have a lot of mental problems going on out there now than we ever had before. And its because of what we are breathing. And a lot of you dont know if one get inside your body how long youre going to live. But i hope you read the information about indecipherable . It is not clean. The navy told me that theres no way that they can clean that shipyard. Thats what was said to me. Why . Because of the landfill and Everything Else there. He said if they took everything out of it, it would be bare again. So when i hear you cant clean it, you know . The toxic steel in the dirt. That let me know you all shouldnt be supporting anything to be built over there for the health of the people. Thank you. Thank you. indecipherable . Any others who want to comment on this item . Okay. Public comment is closed. Commissioners, weve had several workshops on this topic. You have any questions . Yeah. I want to talk about the indecipherable . I want to see what their opinions are about this. Commissioners. My name is amy brownell from the San Francisco Health Department. I just want to know indecipherable . Yes, it is. Weve been monitoring and serving and going to meetings and reading reports for 23 years on all of this information. So weve tracked it all this time for all of this work starting with way back when we were working on parcel a and continuing on these other parcels. And yes everything that the navy had needed to do they have done for these current parcels parcel d 2, uc1 and uc2. And were continuing on the next ones. Were already in the transfer thats going to happen next year and all this finding suitability to transfer has documented the navys work and then the regulatory agencies wrote their concurrence letters for those three regulatory aghtszs the usda, department of toxic substance control and the Regional Water quality board have all concurred on fost. Obviously im just one person, so i have a whole team of folks with the independent consultant lang wen tread well and low low who have looked at all the details for various technical decisions that had to be made, and they also support the work that has been done and the transfer of the parcel. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. Commissioner, any questions . I dont have a question. I just may basically have somewhat of a statement regarding. This is a big build. Historic build for us. As we look to this transfer. You know, i know theres been many sides to this long struggle, story, and, you know, i hear dr. Jackson, some of the folks on her work that has talked about the health and safety of the parcel. Heard from people in the Community Say you can finally you know, were going to build and were going to build this area and do whats right by it. You know, i am support of of this, but i think that dr. Jackson brings up some concerns. And this may not be the body to do more research. We may need to go to the Health Commission and talk to them about some of the issues that dr. Jackson and many people in the area who have been expressing whether it be folks dying of a certain disease or Mental Illness that we dont ignore that reality and that maybe, you know, we work with other city departments to take a look at whats happening. So maybe colleague from Public Health can help us through that. But i dont want it to go unnoticed and dont want it to go ignored. Because there are issues. At the end of the day, you know, the city theres still some things in our city that are not clean. And because we built over landfill throughout our city, i think the only people who have this clean was the lownies and native proars and sisters who lived here. They got to take advantage of a very clean area. We dont have that benefit. The alternative is we dont do anything and it doesnt get cleaned up at all. I think with technology, as things move forward with technology, things will get better. And we have the assurance by the navy that, with that advancement of technology that, if theres things that are found they can come back and clean it up. And i think we need to hold them accountable to do that. Because if they didnt do it right this goaround and they can did it as far as they were able based on their own tool and is technology. We further down the line need to make sure they do it right with even further technology that maybe we cannot comprehend may happen. But the road to Clean Communities is going to be long. And so, with that, you know, i support this to move this along. But i also hope that we could maybe you could help us set something up with the department of health to look at some of the issues that dr. Jackson had been bringing up for a while. Because its not just a former redevelopment issue; its a city issue. One of our communities is suffering, we need to to take a look at that. But thats all. Okay. Couple of questions. Just following up on that, i agree that weve heard from dr. Jackson and others this issue of, you know, people dying to be frank about it. This is what she says. And weve heard this. But i dont know that ive heard any response to that particular issue. I mean, has that been looked at . Is this and im not sure if everyone if the incidents that are being talked about are happening in the in a short period of time. If theres more information, maybe you can tell us. Again, amy from the Health Department. I can just give you a very general answer. And then if you need specific answers, i have to get in touch with the head at the Health Department. The Health Department has many initiatives. Were wellaware of disparities in africanamerican health. Thats one of the main initiatives we address. We have lots of different programs and areas that we support. We investigate healthy housing issues like mold and pests and air quality indoor. Theres restaurant inspectors in Environmental Health to make sure all the restaurant food is safe. We have multiple programs that are targeted for the whole city and for that hunters bay view Hunters Point area. Since this isnt the agenda item for today, we can come back and explain all that. I have plenty of folks at the Health Department the director, of course, and dr. Tomas aragon will be happy to address these issues. And its always an ongoing learning process. And theres always more to be done. And its, you know, priorities, funding and all that kind of thing. But do i hear you saying theres no cause and effect . Im not you know, the contamination or lack of appropriate clean up i guess would be the way to describe it. The work that has been done by the navy and the regulatory agencies overseeing at the shipyard itself, we do not they have certified all these years is that the issues of contamination at the shipyard are not impacting the neighboring community. We have air monitoring. We have soil monitoring. We have all sorts of data that has proven that over time. And then the finding suitability to transfer is the marker where they say, okay, we definitely for these areas weve fennished it. And it is okay to transfer. Theyve looked at the adjacent areas. So theres work ongoing as it should be for the adjacent areas. And theyre going to find that that is not going to impact the current im sorry, future residents or tenants or any of those folks. So yes, i agree that the contamination issues that the shipyard are not impacting the neighborhood. But im fully recognizing the first part of my answer that there are problems in the neighborhood that the Health Department does address. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. The only other question i have is just im interested in this portion of the proving that we have in front of us. Looks to me that in 2011 the San Francisco superior Court Granted a writ again, the Redevelopment Agency among others. The board of supervisors. What happened, i guess would be my questwould be my question. Can anyone tell us what happened with this matter . If i may, chad, commissioners. In 2011, 2010 there was a comprehensive approval. This commission gave entitlements as well as planning. Six departments in the city. The board of supervisors enacted. There was a comprehensive Environmental Review document as required under se qa nn and there was documentation dr. Jackson alluded to. As a result of that at that time there was contemplation of early transfer for development that is, it is not a situation we have under consideration today where the properties are fully remediated for their intended use. However, back in 2010 there was a contemplation that prior to accepting the property, there would be the potential and we studied it in environmental documents, in project to potentially take property prior to its full remediation by the navy and certification under that f oost and other process as mr. Ber knell and miss drew outlined. As a result of the lawsuit if we were to consider it again early transfer it would have to be a whole new Environmental Review under se qa nn. So it is not the subject of your actions today, but any future actions should this commission and parties agree to move forward in that way, there would be additional review as required under this writ. Okay. Thank you. Okay. So do we have further comments . Motion . Exploring this kind of situation. And you know i think i am pleased that everything is okay. And i move that item. Thank you. Been moved by commissioner sting. Commissioner biews sos. Can you please call the roll. Commissioner can you please announce your name when i call your name. Commissioner manned har is absent. Commissioner sin. Yes. Commission biew sew. Yes. I have three ayes and one absence. The item is adopted. Thank you. Please call the next item. The next item is item 5c and 5d related to thier baa binah gardens chb acted together but heard separately. 5c conditionally authorizing the First Amendment to the commercial retail lease for the west cafe inier baa buena llc a California Limited Liability company to extend the term of the lease for ten years with one 5year option to extend. Former Yerba Buena Center predevelopment project area discussion and action resolution no. 55, 2015. And 5d condition bli. East cafe in yerba buena gardens which provisions llc, a delaware limited Liability Company doing business as Box Food Company to extend the term of the lease for ten years with one 5year option to extend. Former Yerba Buena Center redevelopment project area discussion and action resolution no. 57, 2015. Madam director. Thank you mad 78 secretary. Commissioners, these next set of actions related to these leases in yerba buena are seminal really in their own way, but really putting the focus on Small Business and the ability of former Redevelopment Agency and the commission to really help Small Businesses grow, thrive not just stabilize, but grow and stay in San Francisco. And it is seminal in the sense this is another nearly a decade the former commission entered into agreements these two businesses and were here again to enter into to request the authorization to enter into another set of 10year leases for these very important thriving Small Businesses. Marie munson senior real estatE Development specialist in our Real Estate Division is here. And i also see the owners of box foods and some of our here as well. Anxiously waiting for your consideration. So with that thank you director foley. Commissioners cisco and spinning marie munson Senior Development specialist. You have before you conditional. Commercial retail leases for two cafe spaces located in yerba buena gardens. I will make one presentation on the two amendments which will then be considered separately. Without these First Amendments, the existing leases for the cafe spaces expire in 2016. The First Amendments would extend the lease terms for the xaf fais for ten years and provide an option for a one 5year extension period. Key provisions included in the First Amendments are the rental amounts for the 10year extension period. Definitions for tenant improvements and the credit for tenant improvements if they are completed. The amendments will also include miscellaneous provisions. You can call it at this point. Cii proposes the First Amendments to the leases in order to continue the operations and management of the cafe. The amendments will avoid potential vacancies of the cafe spaces. In addition able to secure a continuing revenue stream from the leases which use for capital imriew. S of the yerba buena garden. Amortize Capital Improvements which are specified in the leases. Oci real estate include two small cafe spaces located at the gardens on the gardens Upper Terrace above the Martin Luther king memorial fountain. The west xaf fai and east cafe spaces were constructed in 1993. The west cafe is about 2,000 square root and the east cafe is about 2100 square feet. Both spaces have continuous patio space with exclusive access by the tenants. Since 2006, the west cafe space has been occupied by sam rp lounge and since 2006 the east cafe has been occupied by the b restaurant and bar. For the technical difficulties. You can see the space for the cafe spaces. Fourth street and up above the fountain. Okay. Challenges of the cafe spaces. Although the upper floor locations afford expansive use of the gardens and city it results in the lack of disability and street level access, complicated finding and low pedestrian access. Moscone Center Expansion which could further hinder cafe access because the stairway leading to the cafe could be closed during construction. Further construction could be built and a potential loss of business for the tenant. Because of their location, the cafe spaces are considered secondary retail spaces and their market value is negatively affected. In fact, prior tenants were not able to establish Business Models. Of note from 19932003 the west cafe was leased to starbucks, which didnt render its lease because it failed to establish a Business Model. Cloud restaurant and creole cafe both of this did not farewell and ultimately closed. Here you can see in this image the location of the safe and how the path leading up to them winds around. And in fact, the spaces are almost higher than the secondfloor location. You can see at the turn in those walkways, theyre aboveground. The tenants have evolved their Business Models over the past ten years by close proximity to Moscone Center and developing a regular clientele. Occasionally buyout of cafes are not a typical Business Model for a small cafe. However, this model has helped the Financial Performance of the cafes despite the many challenges of the spaces. Under redevelopment dissolution law, ocsi must dispose of its assets including the cafe spaces and leases under the Property Management plan. Under the plan the yerba buena gardens including the two cafe spaces and leases are supposed to be transferred to the city for governmental use. The gardens cannot be transferred until dof approves the pmp. The dlf continues to review pmp. Preserve and manage the cafe. As initial steps to extending the leases you shoulder under the amendments, ocii San Francisco real estate based economic fimple to and recommend lease terms based on market data. Common evaluated Market Conditions for the retail spaces in yerba buena and areas as well as San Francisco market as whole acon reviewed 20 comparable leases and interviewed brokers active in the yerba buena area. Aconfound that the average asking rent for ground floor lease is 58 per square feet. Asking rent for street level with highest foot traffic are as high as 80 per square feet. As opposed to the rents for the most challenging locations on the second or third levels with low foot traffic such as the cafe spaces are as low as 30 per square feet per year. The rents differential between spaces in decipherable locations, primary spaces at street level with highest lines of foot traffic and those in challenging locations can be up to 50 . Acome concluded that the market rent is negatively affected by their less desirable upper floor locations. The current 2015 rents for the cafes are within market range based on comparable existing retail leases for the area and the characteristics of the spaces. The 2015 rent for the west cafe is 44 per square feet per year. And the 2015 rent for the east cafe is 42 per square feet per year. Acom recommended one 10year extension term and one 5year renewal option based on several factors the overall challenges associated with the location, access and disability of the spaces, the history of tenant turn i dont ever since 1993. The tenant demonstrated track record and the tenant planned improvements in capital investment. Okay. So acom recommended adjusting the rent to the market rent at the time of renewal. At 2016 rents that is a 3 increase over 2015 rent. And 3 increases in each succeeding year. In regular in addition of tenant improvement expenditures, acom recommended a first year rent adjustment equivalent to four months rent which would be amortized over 12 months. Acom also recommended that the rent for the first year of the renewal period be adjusted to the market rate at the time of renewal. Which is anticipated to be 2026. Based on acom recommendation, ocii has negotiated with both cafe tenants on the terms for the First Amendments. First ill present the key terms for the and then the key terms for the east cafe the b restaurant and bar. And then finally ill summarize the terms for both amendments. These lounge Serve International food with organic key pairings. Okay. So the terms for the sa ma bar are one 10year term which would begin on march 1, 2016. One 5year extension that is optioned which would go to. The unadjusted for year one would be 88,550 or 32. 50 per square feet. The adjusted rent would be 59,000 or 21. 20 per square feet which reflects credit for tenant improvement again, equivalent to four months and amortized over the year. In year 2 the rent would no longer be adjusted for tenant improvements and the rents would be increased 3 per year. Sama bars tenant improvements estimated to cost 50,000 will include outdoor furniture, heaters, and glass wind screens as well as griew. S. Sama bar will pay for the improvements with their own funds. If improvements are not made, rent credit will not be made. Sama bar complies with ocii policy. In 2014 sama bar employed over 214 employees. Currently over 20 are San Francisco residents. Prevailing wage requirements for the upcoming tenant improvements. And for the east cafe which is the b restaurant and bar it serves farm to table american cuisine and cocktail. Amendment terms are one 10year term beginning june first 2016. One 5year extension that if optioned would end on may 31st 2015. The unadjusted rent for. 43. 26 per square feet per year. The adjusted year 1 rent would be 60,440 reflecting a credit of four months amortized over a year. In year two the rent would no longer be adjusted and the rent would increase 3 per year. The b restaurant tenant improvements which are estimated to cost. You work with us . My name is kar. I am consultant for econ. So the leases that we looked at were a variety of leases in the downtown. Example, you know. Unfortunately, because these leases, i was a lot of it was confidential information, i cant say the exact location of the leases. Couple of out of 20 . Im sorry. It was something that was which is confidential information that i thought we were available to access. But unfortunately, i cant. Maybe. Perhaps chair kelly, if you would discuss your methodology. What was the trade area you looked at from a geographic point of view. Attachment to. What do you go through the methodology at top of the range . And then put into contact these secondfloor low visibility spaces. Absolutely. So we started off by analyzing the entire city of San Francisco. So we looked historically. And mostly the average rates, but also the average asking rates. And then we zoomed in for yerba buena specifically. And we looked at, again, the average rate and the trends over the past over the past few years. Thank you. And then we also so we looked at that kind of in terms of general rents. But then as a secondary analysis cross checking, we did look at this differentiation between high traffic primary spaces and more secondary spaces that are considered more in a more secondfloor location that suffered from the lack of pedestrian traffic. So we also looked at the differential between those two spaces, which we found at about 50 . And imen, we crosschecked it from the greater city of San Francisco as well as yerba buena garden area specifically. And due to the kind of smaller nature of thier baa nah we we also did look at the greater Downtown Market area. It does have similar characteristic with employment which contributes towards indecipherable . We focused in on between those two methodologies. And then the third component was looking at the specific location for and the attributes of the real estate. The visibility, the access, and the pedestrian traffic were the main considerations. What kind of Capital Improvement youre going to . Im going to call up jesse and kevin, the owners, to give more specifics on their Capital Improvements. Okay. So Capital Improvement has been ongoing. Its something that has allowed us to be successful there ten years. Thats frankly speaking why were still there, because we constantly reinvest in the space. Specifically, the walkin which is a sizable investment for us. All new kitchen equipment. The most noticeable and the most expensive is the glass partition on the patio. So this is a 6foot high glass. One barrier that goes around the patio structure itself will become a permanent part of that patio. In response to the outdoor patio, the idea is to make it a downtown area thats accessible by night. Right now its dark, cold windy exposed to the elements. Making it a glass enclosed area would make it dry and heated without making a structure around it. Thats the largest capital outlay. On top of that is furniture, facilities inside constant upkeep. On a slow day we can get 100 people. On a day with convention 1,000 people could overall wear and tear. Weve done our best to maintain it. And were going to do our best to maintain it. Actually have a very we have indecipherable . And, you know, first june i want that vision should be good for them, but rent is not enough. At the same time, i will not go for that 15year lease, because too long. We are not going to be here. Even three mayors will be changed. I think people who come to, you know, after us they should have some kind of say in the lease. Go for just five years at this time. I have a question. Ive actually been to your restaurant really enjoy it. Question is you know, staff was talking about some of the limitations of that space being high up and, you know, theres been a lot of change over around. Is it even i mean, do you actually do well . Because there seems to have been so many negative points about the location and with the construction of the Moscone Center. There were a lot of things that were brought up as negatives. Is it even worth it to even want to stay there . Because it seems like theres a lot of negatives versus positive. For me definitely its worth it. For us we serve two other locations in the city. And its like a flagship being in the center of the city. I would say the challenge is dealing with the fluctuation of business and staffing it and providing reliable jobs to folks who come in. And it could be empty for several days literally twiddling their thumbs and then surge of convention. So for me exposure to San Franciscos international and being in the literally cross hairs of an International City is great exposure for me. It impacts my other locations as well. Definite inherent challenges in creating a destination business thats not reliant on just foot traffic. And thats taken, i would say we are barely beginning to recoup the investment over the past years especially with the construction coming that im excited about the future, which is why were eager for a longterm lease in that its been a very long road to here. And having built it up. But i feel were really at an inflection point. Im an optimist. Being an entrepreneur, have to be. But its a vision to the future is where im excited about. The only thing i would like to add to that is, you ask whether were its good enough for us again, its hoping whats to come. If youd ask me this question after year 5, i would have told you no. But weve modified the way we operate this business this restaurant specifically. I dont operate this restaurant like any other restaurant. As jesse said, we hire i have 18 employees of which ten are fulltime and have been with me over five years. You know, monday, tuesday, wednesday when theres no convention, and we do 35 covers for lunch, that doesnt get it. But then thursday, friday, it spikes it is worth it. So were trying to balance that. And thats why the glass partition is so important for us to try to make a happy hour or Evening Service there viable. But thats why were asking for the extended term. Last year i finished my mba program, and one of the things they say in mba course is that the worst business is restaurant. Its just the toughest, thats why. And i think that you need that sense of stability. I know were asking for that in the mission with some of the longterm businesses that have been there for decades as they renew their lease of stability okay, you have a certain number of years. You can invest. You could plan and thats important. Well, i just im glad you say that. Thats the reason we ask for ten years. We realize as operators in that restaurant that the glass partition is important for us. But the ticket price of over 60,000, its going to take us many many years to recoup that with our margins seeing three or four cents on the dollar. So yeah. Thank you for answering this question. Okay. So i have a big question. Id like to hear about your marketing plans. You know, how you draw i mean, i know this area, and i if youve been in business ten years and youre able to sustain it, you have to applaud you, because it is a very difficult spot to get to. So you naturally would want to draw folks in, right . You got the advantage of Moscone Center convention. I just want to understand are you members of San Francisco travel . You know, are you do you have regular meetings with the folks who know about the Hotel Business . For us i think we have good relationships with the concierges of the hotels. Weve done regular events. Weve done happy hours dedicated just to them. San francisco Visitors Convention bureau. I would say truly the best marketing comes from word of mouth a lot of noise out there. The founders of yelp, twitter, Hoover Square are regular customers. Having them come and tweet something out to their 3 million followers is the best marking possible. Both of us have thousands of yelp reviews. Speaks to the destination factor. Neither of our business are commodities. Its not walkby traffic. Thats why starbucks didnt make it. Thats why its taken years to build up that effect. The second is training. Training our employees to then teach employees all about tea culture and hosting events around that provide really cool opportunities to teach customers something. Which again learning and experience and having an educational experience is the best marketing possible. Ill go out and teach my friends about cullty vars origins. Weve done things where weve had farmers in doing live tastings with customers. We use every channel possible. Not the traditional advertising ones. But members of the yerba buena ie license local organization and then using technology in the best way. Email marketing and twitter were good at that. Social media side of it as well. And collaboration or coordination with the yerba buena gardens festivals, activities . Definitely. That would be continual. Museums around. Definitely. We just had a meeting probably six weeks ago with the whole all the museums were down there talking about how to elevate the perception of the entire area and have for example a round robin hit up various museums in a happy hour, tea taste ping. Everyone can benefit from collaborative market dollars. Listening public is on the radio. Biggest thing was to work to make to parlay yerba buena garnsd as a destination. And ive seen success trying to trying to be part of that definition. So when people come to the gardens whether tourists or locals, they come to the gardens and we really try to sell them on the idea youre going to have dinner here or lunch here. Go to the other side of the gardens go bowling or go ice skating. Theres a Music Festival next sunday. Come in and have brunch and go listen to the music. Thats especially the last four years weve worked really hard to try to be part of yerba buena so thats the draw. One stop destination museum, kids, entertainment, meal, drink. Excellent. Okay. I guess to commissioner sinks point about the length of the term and maybe you can give us an explanation of the recommendation. I mean, i understand the 10year term, but maybe the option is just exercisable by the city or . Ill let marie munson describe how the option works. But john updike and ms. Munson articulated the citys position. It is important for the city to have a longterm tenant through the transition process of the entirety of the yerba buena gardens. And this 10year lease with the 5year option is what the city wants. And its very supportive of it. I just was trying to reach john. He has unfortunately another commitment that he cant change with the Mayors Office staff. But very very supportive. We wouldnt have brought you these two leases for your consideration with these terms with the rent as proposed in the very challenging locations and for this term if we werent moving forward together. So again, i have reiteration from john updike right now yes, theyre extremely supportive and do want these leases to move forward. Theyre cognizant were in this transition phase, which is why its structured in a way that provides us stability for the gardens. Because were coming on 22 years just for these spaces and longer for the balance of the gardens. So there are going to be larger frankly Capital Needs that the gardens reserves cant meet. And if theres a gap here, were just adding to the deficit and adding to the burden frankly of the city, which they do not want. So i add to that with the dre expressing that interest. Also in the market study, it found that there was a range of 510 years, but most of it was 10 years. And because of the challenge of this site you know, the consultant recommended the ten years. And in terms of the extension beyond that, all parties have to agree to that. Right. Is it initially you know, is it at the option well, everyone has to agree. So even if the tenants wanted, the city could say no. Exactly. So its not a matter of right. Actually, i am very very familiar with that area. Theres Moscone Center, yerba buena. You know, upscale. But everybody know theres a restaurant there, you know . And the rent is actually is very good for them, you know . I want to help them. But is it not actually 10years and 15years too long . You know, i dont know whether they have studied that. Whether they have studied all the leases. Im very very familiar in that area. And its very good rent. And i think it will go for 5years if im still there and youre there, come back. Otherwise we dont want people who succeed us, after us they should have something to s say. Okay. Any other comments or motions . I mean, id like to move this resolution. Okay. Prepared to second it . Second the motion . So we can please call the vote . And i think were taking them separately. Yes. So first 5c. Mmhmm. So this is the agenda item 5c. Commission members please announce your vote when i call your name. Commissioner monoda har is absent today. Commissioner singh no. Commissioner busa. Yes. Madam chair. Yes. I have two ayes, one nay, and one absent. Okay. So given that rules majority prevail so that resolution is adopted. Do i have a motion on 5d. Move. Second. Its been moved by commissioner miewns and seconded by gonzales. Commissioner monoda har is absent. Commissioner singh. No. Commissioner biew sews. Yes. Madam chair. Yes. I have two ayes, one nay, one absent. Okay. 5d also is approved. Good luck. We will probably see you some time there. I think its a good idea for us to visit thank you. Okay. Can you please call the next item. The next item is 5e amending the personnel policy to add provisions concerning reinstatement rights of former employees, discussion and action, resolution no. 57 f h 2015. Madam director. Thank you madam secretary. Commissioners, as you recall, recently adopted a personnel policy change to apply certain reinstatement rights to former employees who were unrepresented. And so, now this particular action unifies it and applies that reinstatement right to all employees. So with that brief introduction, id like to ask monica davis, who is our new Human Resources Administration Services manager. Her new to walk you through the specific terms. Good afternoon. Madam chair gonzales and commissioner. Thank you madam director. Just to expand a little bit on what executive director mentioned. As you know on june 16, 2015 commissioner adopted resolution 402015 expanded reinstatement rights for former unrepresented employees who instate with ocii. Said rights stated that unrepresented employees shall have the right to accrue vacation based on their years at ocii. This resolution also provided that unrepresented reinstated City Employees had the right to restore any unused approved sick leave they may have had upon separation of ocii or Redevelopment Agency. The resolution before you today expands those rights to all employees reinstated excuse me, represented who reinstate with ocii. As you may recall during the initial resolution in june, the union reps trying to consider this provision for their representative employees. Since that time, oci hr division and the representatives have conferred regarding this amendment to the policy. And they are in agreement with these provisions as representing attachment a. You may notice a lot of different red lines in the document, but substantively its the same resolution, but we find some things for clarity and consistency of thought. So i hope that please let me know if you have any questions. That is the gist of my presentation. Okay. Thank you. Great, thank you. Do we have any speaker c cards . No speakers. Do members of the commission have any questions . I think it makes sense. I think pretty much everything. Move to approve. Okay. Commissioner buso says made a motion. And seconded by commissioner.

Yeah. I was wondering im not real familiar inaudible . Sure. Be happy to. Sure. inaudible . Well work on that laughter so we start this program 5 years ago the city launched a number of empowerment programs to help 9 low income folks and keep their money save connected people who didnt have bank account to rely right hand the cashiers check and ongoing Financial Education programs we want to reach out and support our youth we were spurred on if a child groups it builds ass prirgz and helps them get to college we work hard with the scapegoated with our partner city bank to make that successful question build it from the ground up every year we get a set of information and listing all this kindergarten and the demographic information to open a account Affordable Health care ensue kids enter kindergarten and a few weeks later we open up on account in the childs name and we tell that family heres our 6th district at large and account card and id number and heres how to make deposits and go online and go online the city has put an initial amount of 50 the child has money saved for the College Education we know that 50 is not going to pay for college but find a way for the child to be successful and offer incentives to match the savings well match dollar for dollar up to the first 100 and match the steady saves every month for six months in a row another account and participating families savings over 1. 3 million thats family money not city or matching incentives that is all family money and half of the families are families ref fry and reduced aprils Lunch Programs so we know were reaching families across the income spectrum in the Security Guard and finding a way to save there is a cost to the city im pleased to have the city leaders success the city pays for the administration of the program we have a great kc staff manage an Incredible Program with an incredibly small amount of people but have great partners the citys cost is 650,000 a year to fund the kc program we add to this private money some donations in city bank to make the program a reality it is every income kindergarten in the Security Guard thats correct. From the stand point sorry. inaudible . Yeah. Well, i wanted to go to the point you asked on the back end the college end our focus on making college more affordable the initiative to contain the cost of College Education while we put more money out there we dont want it to be used for other purposes more opportunities available for that young people thats why were fighting the fight when we put u cut the pell grant and increase the interest you see initiatives to under those there the pell grants but also to incentivizes states to do more important Higher Education and when federal money comes along not to underwrite but to do more important the kids in terms of what the treasurers cisneros a long time ago which i went to college and initiative to encourage families to start bank account but it wasnt automatic the way it is and families trying to reach for the hardest ones to reach it the other ones had Bank Accounts to it is not a decision to make to do it is done now they take it from there so it is really quite a beautiful thing and again, youll secure a lot during the president ial campaigns about College Education to add Community College for the college as well to it is a budget we say you increase the deficit if you dont invest in education to, in fact, theres a loss so were again at the other end when this model travels there the country it could create an approach where the federal government can participate as a parent and at left or level were not at that part yet thank you to Jose Cisneros for education in our country once again San Francisco is leading the way. There are initiatives that were having congress to have features the program in terms of assistance to state predicated states containing the cost of education in terms of cost of education it just being frugal just fiscally sound in how the institutions are run im not christ the institutions were getting more back for the students for that initiatives that reduce the cost of Student Loans or initiatives weve had in the congress for a while were proud that is part of the initiative that is a Good Initiative more things weve been working on for a while which is proposing the next idea others that want to go further the consent of money the 350,000 berry new sanders says the cost for the country has already been we want to make that affordable and have qualify of the education and have publicprivate partnerships do their really understand that we have to pay the bill at the end of the day and go into many anything we do for education enhances our country aspirations the people the conceiveness of the people in the world ive seen the invests in education all do more to bring money to the treasury we need to know what it means for people to reach their aspirations and Education Innovation begins in the classroom and have it is all succeed beautifully this way laughter maybe time for one more and Everybody Needs to get back to school. inaudible . Well, first of all, let me say i dont know if any one of us can express our they to kate it is a sad life beautiful and all the prospects of the future of this person insufficient funds out so how we treat and value every single leave is important to us in San Francisco and california and in our country kate steinle law says you have a 5 year minimum sentence for reentry into the country that didnt really address the prop at hand the person perpetrate of that tragedy spent a long time in jail and the 5 mandate minimum didnt add to what we need a better communication amongst the intermits whether the Immigration Service or Law Enforcement we should be putting focus judges come to me over time in congress when necessary come in inform their appropriations they say give us appropriations we dont need a mandatory sentence but the discretion to address the case my Climate Change in this case i dont see i think we can do something but more than that and i support the sanctuary city i think that this horrific crime as terrible as it is is not a reflective of the sanctuary city to do the answer the comprehensive Immigration Reform this will address some of the issues and the minimum sentence of reentry to the country and secondly, we have to have background checks in how people are access to firearms this is a background checks whether or not that into have stopped this it stopped millions on the books but now extend to other things online sales and those kinds of that emerged with the advances in technology so there is plenty we can do and shouldnt just think about it but having mandatory sentence of reentry what seasoned happened in San Francisco im sorry mayor. I happen to agree im focused specifically on the circumstances as well as to what agencies did in discussing to bring somebody back that didnt have to be brought back thats another area to come to an agreement and again i dont think that those cases law the way ive read it addresses that circumstance but im very much for more communication among the Law Enforcement agencies in my opinion is less to do with sanctuary city and more to do with communication among the Law Enforcement you cant have a good communication if an agency device spot to communicate we need to correct that locally as well as regionally. inaudible . Well, we made the discovery the memorandum with an the Sheriffs Department prevented people from communicating once you start it, it is a sleep slop not to communicate this is wrong when we are engaged with people with a criminal record history youve got to have more communication of the circumstances around that im a true believer that communication will help people to understand what we face today. inaudible . Yeah. You know, i think that is the private claim and again, i take this position officially on behalf of the city the people of San Francisco in those circumstances need more communication a good policy for all Law Enforcement officials. Thank the San Francisco playgrounds hitsvery dates back to 1927 when the area where the present playground and center is today was purchased by the city for 27,000. In the 1950s, the sen consider was expanded by then mayor robinson and the old gym was built. Thanks to the passage of the 2008 clean and safe Neighborhood Parks bond, the Sunset Playground has undergone extensive renovation to its four acres of fields, courts, play grounds, community rooms, and historic gymnasium. Here we are. 60 years and 14 million later, and we have got this beautiful, brandnew rec center completely accessible to the entire neighborhood. The new rec center houses multipurpose rooms for all kinds of activities including basketball, line dancing, playing pingpong and arts can crafts. You can use it for whatever you want to do, you can do it here. On friday, november 16, the dedication and Ribbon Cutting took place at the Sunset Playground and recreation center, celebrating its renovation. It was raining, but the rain clearly did not dampen the spirits of the dignitaries, Community Members and children in attendance. [cheering and applauding]
