Clerk yes. [agenda item read]. Chair fewer thank you very much. We have john lau from the office of economic and workforce development. Yes, supervisors. I have a presentation, which i am opening now. Can you share your screen . I just did press share. I do not see it. Ill try to open it again. John, if you hd like, i ca pull it up quickly. Let me try again now. Chair fewer, you have someone on your roster. Chair fewer okay. Supervisor walton chair fewer, if i could say a few words . Chair fewer yes, sir. Im sorry. Supervisor walton id like to say a few words. This agreement would lease 1. 6 acres of port shoreline property to the developer for 66 years. In exchange, the developer will be responsible for constructing and maintaining the area as a Shoreline Park at no cost to the port or tworth tens of mils of dollars. With the inclusion of this port lease area, the project will have a dramatic effect on opening up the citys waterfront. Port front access is very limited at this point, and this increases the access. So this comes to us with a positive recommendation to the port commission, and our district 10 office deep district 10 office is in full support. Chair fewer thank you. Mr. Lau . Thank you, supervisors. Im having trouble sharing the file. Im here wi im david, ill take you up on that offer. Thank you very much. So oewd has led the negotiations for the Development Agreement on this project, working with multiple city partners. One of those partners has been the port of San Francisco. One of those items is before you, the Lease Agreement of the potrero hill project. I do have a few slides both for the Lease Agreements part of the project and then the project as a whole in context of the city. Ill go briefly through those. I know, supervisors, you have a number of items to get through today while dealing with this new format, but both david and i are available for questions, of course. So this project is what we refer to as the southern bay front strategy. Its kind of our organizing plan for planning for and organizing the suite of projects that the city has processed in the southeast part of the city in the past 15 years or so. So obviously, in combination, they represent a significant amount of Public Benefits of parks and open spaces, obviously, jobs and affordable housing, as well. So this has been the framework that we use to ensure that the Development Agreements that we negotiate on these individual projects serve overall the city and county ultimately. Next slide. So here, you see the project in context of the needed waterfront and its neighbor to the north, pier 70, will really have a dramatic impact on connecting the neighborhoods of the central waterfront, particularly the dogpatch, and its a part of shoreline thats never been publicly accessible and will be with this project. Next slide, please. Here, you see the project in particular, and youll see the 2. 8 acres of port property have been included in the project as analyzed under the California Environmental quality act analysis project and certified by the commission at the end of january. That decision has not been appealed. Next slide. So of that port property, 1. 8 acres next slide. Thanks, david. Is a portion of the remainor of 23rd street, which the developer will improve and dedicate to the city as part of this project. So the 1. 6 acres there you see on the shoreline area will be park project and publicly accessible land, and well get into a little more renderings of those in a minute. Just briefly, on the overall project, its been the subject of a robust 2. 5year Community Planning process with dozens and dozens of onsite meetings and meetings in the community with groups like the dogpatch association, potrero boosters, and other groups of the southeast really have made some significant changes to this project over the past 2. 5 years in response to that engagement and input. Next slide, please. You see the project here in total as a land use figure. 2600 units of total build out, in the total project thats okay, david. We can go to the next one. You see 1. 5 million square feet of office and life science. You see it organized here as a massing study. Next slide. And a little rendering about the shoreline itself, which is the topic of this Lease Agreement, and really a site and program thats geared towards drawing people to the waterfront and creating and engaging in dynamic experience once folks are there. Again, part of the shoreline, which has never really been publicly accessible in the history of the city. Next slide, please. There, you see a little bit about what the port property is today. And the next slide, how it would look after the project. Ill note that the bay trail, which is proposed to go through this area, its actually on what is currently private property, and they will be an easement over that area, including east of that, a total of 1. 6 acres. A 66year lease, and in return, the developer will be spending tens of millions of dollars to improve and then maintain that area within the next slide. Just a few slides, again, on the broader project because it is such a significant development. Ill go quickly through these. Overall, the project has achieved a 30 b. M. R. Level without public subsidy on a totally private project is quite significant. With the total project at buildout, it represents almost 800 units. The housing creates a menu of options for the developer to meet their b. M. R. , which includes fees, inclusion throughout the project, at 40 development. The fee projects, if they fee out to that maximum, would all be dedicated to Housing Projects in district 10. Well go next slide. And transportation of robust both t. D. M. Program and 65 million in t. S. F. Fees will go to a long list of projects that weve worked on with our colleagues at m. T. A. And the community. This includes potentially a Pilot Program for water transit run in San Francisco. Well go to the next slide. Workforce development. Again, weve negotiated a 1 million package from the sponsor which will directly fund getting san franciscans in the pipeline both on the construction and the users side in projects geared towards the type of users on the site that we anticipate, including science and biotech. And here, you see the subject port property in context of the open space, framework, really, a system of spaces throughout the project incurred by this new environment shoreline made possible by this Lease Agreement before you today. Well go to the next slide. And then briefly, a suite of community spaces. Theyre included in this deal, including a 25,000 square foot recreation center, that the developer is required to provide the conversations with the ymca thoroughly advanced conversations, i should say, and the potential of a new Public Library in the neighborhood. Next slide, please. Historic preservation, three notable resources onsite, all of which the developer is intending on reusing, which theyre required to do so by the planning documents. One being the brick walls of the former brick fortress of station a, and the staff, which people recognize from allaround the city. Next slide, please. Im wrapping up here. And then, sea level rise, which is important. Were achieving two measures on this front. One being the intermentions in the project as it is built interventions in the project as it is built, and then, second, a Community Facilities district that we are establishing as part of this project will be out years, which the city will receive revenue from, which the city will be able to spend on intervention of sea level rise. So from the ports perspective, and they can comment on this if there are any questions, we are receiving important Shoreline Park resources, access to those areas that have never been enjoyed. The city is receiving those at no cost to the port in terms of this, maintenance, and liability. Were also including additional areas through easement in the public trust which benefits the area in a number of ways, and i think thats it. Thank you. Chair fewer okay. Thank you very much. Colleagues, any comments or questions . Seeing none, okay, lets hear from the b. L. A. , please. Good morning, chair fewer and members of the committee. This is Severin Campbell from the budget and legislative analysts office. The board of supervisors is being asked to approve a 66 year ground lease between the city and California Bell Company with the purpose of developing a project on the port property. The proposed Development Agreement thats pending before the board sets out the development of the public park. The proposes resolution before you also would have the board approve the port commissions findings that the lease rate of 1 a year supports the public trust and the ceqa findings. Youll find in our report in exhibit 1 on page 6, we estimate the cost to the developer of the development, which we estimate about 69. 6 million over the 66year term. The actual cost of the development has not been laid out. There is a process laid out in the Development Agreement for that process. However, because we do estimate a net value to the port for this lease, we are recommending approval of the proposed resolution. Chair fewer thank you very much. Any comments from my colleagues .
