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
Possible so that while youre in the large public concourses that lead to the seating areas, youll be able to look out over the harbor and have these kind of amazing views of the city. Likewise, youll be able to see back into the arena when there are activities at night. We are looking to provide an open, sort of openly publicly accessible outdoor ramp that leads up to the side of the building that gives unique views of the harbor that cannot be found really anywhere else in the city. And the possibility we hope to plan for an Observation Deck related to this ramp itself. The retail functions of the site are placed in a lowrise structures that are very much in the quality and appearance, esthetic of the original structures along the piers. So, theyre about 60 feet high and they have the shedlike appearance that were still developing. Theyll have direct access from the embarcadaro. This is a view showing those retail facilities in relation to nearby pier 28. Youll see theyre about the sa
Your time. But im carla johnson, the interim director with the Mayors Office on disability. And as you understand, we are the citys overall ada coordinator here to make sure that all of our city programs and services and facilities comply with americans with disabilities act. And part of our role is actually to perform an architectural access plan review of important City Projects as they come forward. We prefer to be involved with the City Projects at the earliest possible stage and understanding that and [speaker not understood] the office of economic and Work Force Development called a meeting that i was involved with about ten days ago in order to introduce me to the important project at an early stage. I had an opportunity to review the conceptual drawings and also to ask some fairly detailed questions about the universal Design Concept which was all entries are accessible entries. All paths have an accessible path collated right next to it and so forth. I have to say i was very i
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
