Transcripts For SFGTV Planning Commission 20240712

The pier 740 master plan which eventually led to historic core, it resulted in those buildings being rehabilitated and rfp that resulted in brookfield taking over the waterfront site as our partner on that location and the next slide, built on to that process in 2013. Our planning and Environment Group developed a crane cove park plan. You can see here its very similar to what ultimately has been delivered on site which is very exciting. And the kneass building was not addressed with use it might serve. Building 49 was. Its in the center of the slide. We opened it would be used for water recreation and bicycle parking on site so were not sure if we need additional as well as a site and next slide. Please. There are eight goals that apply to the southern waterfront and weve pulled out throw in particular that we think really speaks to what might go i go ine buildings. Number two listed in the staff report has to do withens hancements water recreation and enhancement to the blue green way and doing something that enhances sort of the public experience and the various public locations they can visit and the southern waterfront and number throw was implementing pier 70 projects which includes the deliver row of parks and other public realm improvements that the public can enjoy and number eight was relating to Community Partnerships and Community Benefits for the southern waterfront and delivering more Community Benefits. Next slide, please. They set out the acceptable uses for each of the facilities. You can see here that building 49 was anticipated to have water recreational boating, to relate to the parks and open space to have accessory and other sorts of short interim uses and maritime industry, retail, general office, Community Facilities as well as interim uses. Thats the whole framework of what we have to work with in terms of previous Planning Efforts and our current draft waterfront plans. A successful rfp will support our Strategic Plan. Were evolving the waterfront anand engaging working with our Community Members to speak to their needs and we need to have projects that are equitable and accessible and attractive to a very Diverse Group of people who live, work, use, or visit our recreational assets. We need money to bring up with they can be used up and creating stability in the sport of our financial side and maintaining the harbor funds and ourselves as an organization. Next slide, please. So, were proposing to do an rfp on these sites. In order to do water recreation retail and food and beverage we need an rfp in order to do the competitive process required for retail leasing. Were proposing that we use the process thats in the waterfront plan. You may recall the general process is informational at at Port Commission to discuss the particular big values for this area and what are Community Values and minimum qualifications and what not that we want to see if an rfp and we go out to the community that those with them and come back to the Port Commission. So were proposing to use that same process which ill note in a subsequent slide in a little bit more detail. We do a process respond propose to one or both buildings and so both of the buildings and this is the just primarily theyre close to one another and we can do a and we think theres an opportunity that we may be able to get one tenant for both buildings and were very opening to having different tenants in the building and one is in a Poor Condition and it would require a lot of capital to bring it up to the useable condition. The other would needles capital potentially. Theres an opportunity to meet potential tenants in both of those categories. In terms of the minimum goals, what we are stating and were going to add on to that as we go through the process with you and the community, we think at the very least we need at least one food and beverage location. It could be very casual and want to serve the needs of park goers for sure. We also need to have one personal watercraft rental storage and sales facility and some sort of ann an aquatic cen. We want to see a Community Development or communityserving youth. A tenant that will provide a lot of co benefits for being on the park. Eyes on the park and bringing members of the community and into the facility and community the elsewhere and we this is the minimum goals of from the community and what other goals there should be. And the co benefits economic benefits so the desired economic and theyre seeking through this rfp process is First Investment in these buildings and the preliminary cost estimates of how much it would cost to rehab both of these buildings is 10 to 15 million and depending on the uses. Theres quite a range because theres the opportunity to add a seismic retro fit to building 49 which is on this slide and if one did that that would cost more money but would result in more occupancy in the building which you could dense fie uses inside of the building. To give you a little bit of perspective thats 500 to 700 per building square foot and its expensive and kneass is more of building 49 in terms of per square foot cost. The second key benefit wed like is a tenant who will be responsible for maintaining watch over the Public Restrooms in building 49 delivered by our engineering group. This is a really port arent maintenance responsibility that we think having tenant on site to do this would be a real benefit for us and would really help in operations of the park and the third goal is through participation at revenues or upside revenues, rental payments to the harbor fund. To pay for the use of those sites. So i talked earlier about what the draft waterfront plan anticipates in terms of an rfp process and what we did for the pier 48, 40 and 33 and 330. They were to come to the Port Commission with the beginning outlines of the rfp. We then went to the Southern Advisory Committee and at that time the swag in order to directly ask those groups to advise on the Community Values and diversity equity and inclusion goals for the rfps, we want an additional step for these two buildings because they are situated in this very public location. This great new park weve just delivered and its getting a lot of use. So were also proposing to outreach to youth oriented groups, elder groups, other at risk populations and communityserving organizations who may wish to occupy the kneass building to enhance our understooding of what we can deliver through this rfp that would be welcome and valued by the community. Next slide, please. So thats the end of the presentation. Our anticipated schedule, if you all direct, is to take this sort of a presentation, focus on the subarea goals and trying to get input on Community Values for the two buildings. Two are Southern Advisory Committee and we identify other groups so we can interface with virtually to also introduce them to the site and get their input in terms of Community Values. Were really excited to work on these buildings. Theyre small in comparison to the other rfps weve done but we think they can deliver that sort of other parts of the crane cove experience that people are now getting to enjoy as a park is open. Having those buildings provide more services we think will enhance the crane cove experience. I welcome your thoughts and questions and inputs. Thank you, rebeca. We will now open it to Public Comment. Jennica will be our operator and provide instructions now for anyone on the phone who would like to provide Public Comment. Thank you, president brandon.

At this time, there are no members of the public on the phone wishing to make Public Comment on this item. Thank you. Seeing no callers on the phone, Public Comment is closed. Commissioner gilman. Thank you, ra baek and everyone for the presentation and the thorough staff report. Im really eager to see this process moving forward. I had the pleasure about a week ago to tour the park with randy and david duepray and it was a sight to be seen. It was incredible. Im so impressed with this project and how much it has to over. The South East End of our waterfront inside highly recommended part of the process for bidders to get maybe a more diverse pool of applicants to activate these buildings in the neighborhood its that we offer a site tour with davids commentary about the history of the parks about how intentional we were on design from ship build to the history of the waterfront and also maybe include the promotional videos that i saw featuring supervisor walton on president brandon and mayor breed. I think those bring a richness to the experience that could be beneficial for anyone bidding on the project and to make sure we can have the usual suspect thats can activate these buildings so i wanted to offer those few thoughts and i look forward to you bringing back a more polished set, a recommendation after the Community Process for the rfp and im excited to get these buildings activated. Thank you. Thank you for the reports. I think it was well positioned and i think the sensitivities of the project have been outlined and i echo commissioner gilmans conversation. I will go next week and i was looking forward and would suggest that a tour of the building is much as you can see them from the outside be included and i think that it sounds like i should ask for david buepray was my tour guide. I look forward to seeing how it herbs witmeshes with the neighb. In addition to the aquatics and the retail, do we see any of the Building Space used for office at all . I know what you want to see, but what else could we see putting in these buildings and since one of the buildings doesnt have a lot of public trust restrictions, so if you could comment a little bit more on that. Definitely, thank you, commissioner. We anticipate there will likely need to be at least some ancillary office use. The kneass building that is already built out, just to make the project financially feasible we think we will need the kick of those revenues in order to get that building to cross the feasibility threshold. So we do anticipate that that one would have some office space but were definitely open to any financial receivable projects that needs that acceptable use table that i showed. I also want to mention in addition to retail and aquatics were looking for a communityserving entity to take over we anticipate parts of the kneass building or it could be a greater part of building 49 to kind of have members of the public come and use the building and then have that kind of spill over effect into using the park. I actually have not seen the interior of these building and i dont know what shape they are to be able to see them. It looked like they have high ceilings and so there could be some interesting uses if you think about it and given that were all sensitive about internal space and how much air and ventilation and open space areas give the environment that were living in today it could be some creativity applied to whoever looks at these buildings in terms of the uses of the buildings. In addition to what you are looking for. I dont know if im correct assuming they have high ceilings. Building 49 has high ceilings and the kneass building is twostoreys and i wouldnt say theyre particularly high. They can definitely have the ventilation through i guess terrier air flow. There is no restriction. They overlook the park, correct . Is there going to be any restrictions if they want to open up the walls to have bigger windows or open doors into the park space . Go ahead question. I was just thinking that when we talked about ventilation. Ill be sure to consult with mark and others to make sure this secretary standards are met on the buildings and how many openings they could create if there are no openings there now. I hope that in this case, that would be an amenity to whoever is in the building to have a view on the park and from the use that uche given off they have calls closed so if you want to know, you can open up some of the walls there and both for light, ventilation and as well as view. I think you should check that out before you set up the rfp so whoever sets it out, knows that information in advance if there are any restrictions if there is one is Historic Preservations and one is already listed and the other could be listed. Ok. So rebeca. Which called we have committed to doing designs that are consistent with secretary standards and the kneass building has roll up doors and are on east face of the building and either roll up or barn like doors that could be redesigned to engage with the park in a more active way. That would be a very attractive part of the building if they are able to leap right out into the park area its right when the spark in its final phase which is great and weve been working forward to a long time and hopefully whatever i can say is the building in the coming weeks. Great. This is the phenomenal job its just so beautiful he is so knowledgeable and informative about all the history at the park and it is just a beautiful park so thank you involved to the creation and then this solicitation is exciting. I think we have covered most of the points for i for inclusion. Im happy were going out on a listening tour to and i hope we put an emphasis on communityserving uses. Because its has to be anna traction for families to bring tears to Community Groups and for residents from dogpatch, bayview, the entire city and to make it a draw because its such a beautiful destination so, i hope whatever were looking for is really focusing on serving those Community Needs in the park. So thank you general i ca gener. Can you give us a brief presentation of your timeline . Thank you for the comment and the question. I agree going to the park is really making me so proud to work at the port. I bet a lot people felt like that. We wanted on the southern advisory agenda in november. Were working with mark to see whether or not we can catch them in november. And if were able to we would come back to you in november if its a little bit late we would have to go to the december meeting so the issuance so were opening we can issue this calender year is it regardless of whether or not we hit the november or december Commission Meeting and so we issue the rfp and it goes through couple months review period before we bring a selection to you all so well be clear on the next staff report what were proposing in terms of the Selection Process and very interested in speaking with you more if there are things we should write now with this rfp or different terms we should take at this point to make sure that process is really smooth. I was told there was a meeting on october 21st. With all the other groups that you are reaching out to, do you think you are going to be able to do that by december . We hope so. Were really focused on talking about the Community Values and were hoping we can have that targeted conversation and bring back along in terms of issuesance of the rfp and the site tour is a wonderful idea for introducing a respondents to the building. So it will be out for maybe two months typically we leave the rfps out for six, eight, 10 weeks. Ok. Im just hoping that we can get the most Community Input that we can prior to coming back to us with a solicitation propose a im hoping that the Advisory Committee we also meet with these other organizations and get as much input as possible so that when we do print out the rfp everyone is on the same team. Good point and good advice. Hopefully this will go out early to mid next year. We will take our time and make sure we do all that work. Ok. Thank you. Next item, please. Clerk item 12a request approval of the operations agreement with dhl global forward granting dhh authority to operate its brisbane location drive site for a term of five years with one option to extend for four years and outlining conditions for the usage driven site this is resolution number 2047.

The relationship with the port of San Francisco as a grantee. Both pieces have interesting parts to it. So first the Foreign Trade zone program was established to the Foreign Trade zone act in 1934 as a tool to stimulate International Trade by providing incentives to u. S. Firms to keep jogs and economic activity, domestic here in the United States. A Foreign Trade zone or ftz, is a designated area that is considered to be
