Ensure that we look at wind. And another issue that ive heard is in how we designate rules for privately owned public spaces pudx. People have brought up to me, can we do there what we do at dolores park . Im not advocating we do that, but i think a Community Process with the neighborhood about how we manage that privately owned open space would be very important. Puds so the neighborhood feels they have input in terms of how far we utilize that open space. Last, in if terms of the retail, i appreciate the warriors said they wanted [speaker not understood]. I think that shows a commitment both to the history and also to supporting Small Businesses in the neighborhood so they also benefit from this project and arent pushed aside in order to create the best project for the project sponsor as possible. I think in terms of the access to the retail, we want to make sure that there is as much access because it seems to be on the second floor and i just want to make sure there is as much inte
Where it talks about that number of events over the course of a year, the vision is really a variety of events of different sizes. The intention is to design an arena that can really be collapsed to host shows and events that are that attract a wide range of audience and different size audiences. So, that means really reaching out to the full breadth of the entertainment and night life community. In addition were working very closely with sf travel to ensure that this venue is complementary to the convention the Convention Industry and the Tourism Industry and making sure that those types of uses are also fully addressed. And i believe we also had Alex Rosenthal who represents the night life Music Consortium here at budget and finance talking about her organizations ongoing support and commitment to working with the warriors as the proposal moves forward. Thank you. Okay, thank you. So, at this time well open up for Public Comment. Supervisor kim, can i just ask, ms. Matts, can i just

Jamie whitaker, glenn da leanhart, [speaker not understood], barbara, and david hartzell. Good afternoon, my name is Jamie Whitaker sorry. Please feel free to line up on this side of the chamber if i called your name. Thank you. Good afternoon, my name is Jamie Whitaker. Thank you very much. For having this hearing. I took a break, went to the rest room and i overheard some conversation that was basically im just looking to get a piece of the pie. Thats fine. We all need to make a living. But my fear is that while a lot of folks are pursuing a piece of the pie, whether it be Building Trades unions, members, hotel union, lawyers, political lobbyists, theyre creating a dichotomy. What is getting lost in the process is the speed which this is going through, environmental and Impact Review in nine months
It was last week, 5,000 fulltime jobs, about 2800 5,000 temporary jobs and 2800 permitted jobs and about 80 million annually from visitor spending to the city. Permanent also mentioned by the fire department, fire boat station and 7 acres of public open space. Was there anything else thats left out of those Public Benefits from the development . I do think its important about the 7 acres of open space, for commitment of the warriors to maintain all of that open space. In addition, the three sides of the pier that would be active for maritime use really not only forward the ports goals of having continued maritime access, but really do provide some pretty wonderful waterbased amenities for residents and visitors. Whether its the water taxi or the ferry or the excursion boats including the boat launch and the potential of a deep water berth on the eastern edge of the pier. Another sort of ongoing public amenity is just the walkway around the edge of this pier and the spiral going up to t
I know when the cac was put together there was no one from the Entertainment Industry on the cac which i thought was i know was a complete oversight, it wasnt intentional. I know you assured me that [speaker not understood] in the community would be involved in the planning process. I want to make sure were continuing to really take into account the fact this is an entertainment venue. I think that community can have a huge contribution in making sure that it is successful both in terms of design, working with the surrounding neighborhood. I want to see if we can get a little update on that. Thank you. Supervisor wiener, we very much take seriously your questions and the need to integrate the entertainment and night Life Community into the design and programming and thoughts around this arena are critical to its success. The warriors have reached out to event promoters in the area in order to Start Talking to them about some of the specifics around the design. It is their intention not
