what are the design goals for this project as i mentioned it has to be a vibrate landmark for the neighborhood and the city we have spent a lot of time thinking how to continue to enhance and bring nor life into the mission bay he certainly we'll provide a mixed use to make sure the project fits into the fabric of the city and used all year and most importantly has a public space david mentioned it is a lead goal we're targeted and commented committed to doing lead accomodation we're targeting the no g h emissions and be immigrant with the sustainability requirements this is above and beyond local cal green and san francisco requirements and how do we do that through the demands like balanced parking and the mass transit and bike parking green roofs and zero waste procurement and energy cac and other alternative sources like solar on site generation all right. so with those points out of the way let's talk about the design something i feel passionate about and hope to bring that to light today the fabric of mission bay if you know it is very wonderful tall buildings and that's part of the planning the design for development it yields texture let's say to the urban fabric we intentionally and with the help and support of katherine's group at ocii looked to do something nor organic i want to talk about that and you can certainly ask questions we had 3 large building elements the arena and the two office building we wanted to balance the location and the adjacency so it if create negative space around this instead of setting the site up we actually set it up over and over gangly allowing it to flow for having seenly would the arena located also let's say slightly to the billboard site that freed up the site on third street this was really key to us we looked at the site in a number of different ways we located the arena we balanced the public space around it what we did was establish a series of pathways that are more organic and flowing and interesting to use than the lines of the overall fabric of mission bay so that leads us to the current matter of the plan quickly the ocii you see on our screen all right. very good so the 18 thousand feet arena is located generally slightly toward the south and east and rotated it does a number of things by rotating the shape in the arena we opened up a closet space on the southeast corner for entrance it yields a more comfortable and adequate area on the site for the northern northwestern podium and locating a smaller podium on the south west corner we maintained the center of the site off third street working around the site i'll point out some heights that's a key part of the project the two office towers are will not exceed the height limit of one hundred and 60 feet that's the d requirement, of course, the podiums max out at 90 feats event center the arena is much lower than that it tops one hundred and 35 feet we've done a lot of things around the height of the building to make the massing and the scale for massing and not to create tall walls i'll walk you through the dimensions we have the hall or the market it is a food eccentric development we look forward to programming that right now, we're thinking it is a community-based food amenity that helps with the park on saturday morning you might be able to go and get breakfast and have a picnic in the park and then spinning around the upper areas of the are corners we're calling the mission bay area isn't it so an elevated element of the project that leans out over the city and the bridge and also on a lower level down into the arena as a club for arena guests most importantly to are the spaces between the building the largest one is the main placing and on 3rd street the north west plaza and goes to the southeast plaza i've mentioned before those pauthsd look like this just talking about the way you can circulate around the building without having to go into them let's talk about bike access for a second we're intending and targeting to exceed the minimum remit for bikes we want this to be healthy and environmental friendly place to go to and we're certainly welcoming more bike parking transit access one of the things we're digested excited about is the convenience to get to it in was other than our automobile situated near the muni stop on the corner of the site and it's well situated near the greenway downtown ferry terminal expansion and, of course, the cyclist track height and bulk this diagram brings it to light the massing the tower with the events that are - am i done >> you have 30 seconds we'll give you more time. >> basically a couple of minutes. >> i do be pleased to go more quickly you can read the massing the project and the dimensions and what i'm going to do quickly i know you have this presentation go through it on our on i'm going to walk you through the site beginning on the northwest corner this is the mass transit planned lapd's from the muni stop a large number of people gathering there and a comfortable space like an open area for people to arrive on the site and move up into the main plaza this is the front door of the arena this is the front door for supporting events this is the scale of the space particular is a union square or rockefeller center for the city on programs we will be an programs important seasonal activities and quickly a pathway that connects about 25 or thirty feet wide with detail that connects you around the site slowly to an 14r5e89d platform that overlooks the water you work your way up to the concourse and to the main part of the water i'm moving quickly the southeast corner is the secondary entrance and it is for the smaller sthaerts that can be hosted and again on around the south west corner two ways to get up to the southwest corner called the at&t trump through the arena and on the south west corner a ramp that takes you from the hospital building to the plaza so those slides very, very quickly with highlighted ♪ slide and this is the connection of outdoor things and quickly with some of the media rendering that were unveiled last week i'm sure you've seen them i'm happy to answer any questions you may have. how the different elements are inspired with that, given the time constraint thank you very much >> thank you to the team for their prediction opening it up for public comment and then commissioners can ask questions. >> if i call our name for public comment when your name is called please step forward. >> (calling names). >> first speaker can come to the podium. >> hi, i'm michael a neighbor to the mission bay i live on mission bay boulevard and i personally am happy to have the warriors come to mission bay but also to gain the world-class rather than with the shops and restaurants and for me personally i've two dogs i walk over there all the time and it needs a little bit of work so the new park in the presentation looks at amazing and great spot for the community to gather every on the off days for the restaurant and shops but to spend time together with the new park built it's great it offs so many activities. >> thank you. next speaker. >> hi, i'm ester a resident near the site and i have lived in mission bay for four years we love the design we're so excited i have 3 teenagers and we can't wait you know to be able to walk down cherry boulevard and have something be there or finish a family bike ride and get something to eat it will be great for the neighborhood i love mission bay and i've enjoyed this and i think the warriors are going to be fabulous and for the neighborhood and the stadium can give character and bring activity to the area thank you. >> thank you. >> good afternoon. i'm pat valentine he i've lived in the south beach mission bay neighborhood and vice president of the south beach merchants association so i'm here on behalf of both of those i've been following this project tennis the piers 30-32 one of the things as a business association as a merchants association with our neighborhood association is work on activating our neighborhood with the addition ground floor retail so mission bay is viewing and coming on line one of the things that is important watching what happens with the arena and sdraths with the neighborhood also as a designation place for people that live there and for people coming there and we're pleased with how this project has advanced in this new way and excited about the retail about the marketplace they're going to set up it's important for us as neighbors and the merchant associations to see other replacement in the neighborhood and having it next to the park is also important so this new design we look forward to the continuing evolution and excited about getting started thank a lot. >> thank you. >> members of the commission dravm i'm laura the social person with you ucsf i want to make a few remarks for the university i want to reiterate we welcome our neighbors to mission bay and join the rest of the city in joining the warriors franchise to the city and bringing a professional supports enterprise to san francisco the warriors mixed use investment about bring dining option to mission bay where it prestigiously didn't exist i'm sure you're aware of we've addressed issues in the city with traffic and research campus to maintain a presence at mission bay when we break ground on our first building and mission bay has blooumd bloomed with its great accomodation with cutting-edge research mission bay as a population of 4 thousand patients and other visitors on february one i'm sure you're aware of mission bay will be the home of san francisco's new hospital the ucsf medical in thirty years at mission bay that complex will consist of 3 status quo we think that 3 thousand employees and physicians will work in our new hospitals so the new children's hospital will serve all the pedestrian africa folks and we'll have transportation of patients and have an energy department we anticipate that will be thirty patient visits per day and visits by plans force the firefighter we anticipate the birth to be 26 to 2 seven hundred so it's critical that our patient and staff hass have access to our pediatric access we look forward to continuing our dialog with the warriors and city around parking and access he issues the federal government i'm sure you're aware of through the state and university have made a significant investment at mission bay and we are interested in making it secure we've been working with the city and warriors on security issues and understand there are minimum overlap between the giants and warriors but we're worried about the traffic and the large concerts held at the arena we want to thank the commission for providing the podium thank you very much. >> thank you. >> good afternoon, commissioners john with the traffic nice to see you all san francisco travel remains whorling in support because of the jobs it will generate and itself activity for san francisco many of you have heard me say before tourism a major driver in san francisco over 16.9 million folks viftsd san francisco and spent $9.2 million every day here in san francisco this support many jobs and contributed $560 million to the general fund we know that we are leaving money on the table due to a number of factors one of which the commission support we are addressing and take the opportunity with the moscone project we entered into with a public-private participating now we hear from our major clients there is a tremendous need for space in san francisco one that can host political conferences and one day efforts associated with hotels this addresses it and makes it assessable for our venue users in terms of transportation accessibility that provides bikers and pedestrians with ease pathway to the building and it's proximity to a- it makes it easy for public transit we see a number of venues that don't work thankfully month are in other cities but effective assess wants is important for a safe experience the design being offered provides the access points we need this and for those reasons we continue to support the facility and we know that will help to attract the visitors by help make our public-private partnering in moscone more valuable. >> as the next speaker comes up i'll call one more name. >> thank you, commissioners i'm dennis with the diamond consulting and education it's my educational work i've been enjoying for 45 years i'm also for the last 13 years teaching in the public high schools i gave a multi media pamphlet one the programs since i have 3 minutes i'll introduce to summarize the information i e-mailed you sent 29 letter a couple of months ago and over the last 57 years i've been providing the warriors and all city officials my proposals i want to remind you the classroom is the heart and soul of my proposal based on this arena professional sports i'm sure you're aware of is a powerful influence for our kids after working in the classrooms for years it is observe the power that sports plays in our kids lives this classroom could be an incredible incentive inspiration not only for the warriors and basketball games but multi media and journalism and advertising business even the architecture teams that do those incredible structures and plus as a long time promoter of education in city hall for 35 years it's critical to introduce our kids to the public-private sector relationships this body board of supervisors the mayor's office, all those agencies are revolved in this process to me that is all what i refer to as an educational methodology those sports teams in and of itself are untapped in in my opinion further down the road the bigger picture of my proposal to be a magnet and model for other cities around the countries to visit this and their government and business leader and schools and teachers and kids and beyond that cross cultural bringing bridges throughout the america's i've mentioned before in different meetings we have sister relationship in many cities around the world not one in america this is a long term evolutionary process to do all of that but it's critical ancient traditions they've made decision with the future in mind and ask you for the support of this proposal thank you very much thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon commissioner i'm matt the chief executive officer for life nation in california i want to start by thanking the commission for approving the project we've been open for 3 months and have a great rapport were our neighbors on knob hill and we'rees static the clients so thank you we'rees static about an arena in warriors in san francisco we look forward to them being in san francisco we emotional task about the world-class venue we've worked closely with the warriors on the design how to make that an incredible venue and special event venue they've got a incredible team in place and taking the right steps we're excited about the venue being in the city thank you very much for your time and is there any additional public comment seeing none, public comment is closed. >> i want to thank the team for the presentation today i - it was great to see all the prospectives i agree the public realm this incredible opportunity to provide for space and more sort of wonderful space for us to be in i assume there will be a lot of design refinement going forward and thank you to all the staff and really great to see see a decision being made where it helps both to the importance of that transit connection. >> commissioner moore. >> thank you for your thoughtful presentation i was arena when more people were speaking against it than this room could possibly hold i don't want to dwell on the past i'm impressed from the prospective that the setting which occurs has questions but you've well answered i'm happy to say the accumulation of buildings we're dealing with the citing in the way i do and am glad we're finding a way to redefine micro e mission bay the hospital basically of the main mission bay being an institutional viable off accomodation we're having something that can potentially create a new center and focus within a similar looking building the arena about evolve and find it's proper facade and other lemons i thing i'm interested a new office building where the larger hope they've distinguish wvm the architecture of the other buildings there's an element of sameness he hope you'll reach that making it - i'm happy about the continuation of the waterfront i'm sure the port will be supportive the mandate of the bay trail and the city's idea of connecting the buildings and have fisherman's wharf all the quasi you're starting to do here speaks to that idea and at the end you'll have to stand to get the same applaud the sales force and the letterhead i look forward to seeing this project. >> commissioner antonini. >> i too am very impressed by the plan it is truly an urban facility like many in the past you have a arena surround by a sea of parking and the arena maybe the park in the middle the gathering spates even more than the arena that will be used often but the park and the plans for the food hall and the office buildings and, of course, all the remain use that is in the area will make it a vibrant area all year long and this is very giving to me unfortunately in 1966 san francisco began to lose not only professional basketball but another concerts and thing in the past including we have two political conferences in 66 and other championships only because it was the only possible facility in the bay area it wasn't because of the stent of it once the arena of the colosseum was established in the oovldz we are eclipsed by another sites the whole bay area losses if we don't have the most concentration of jobs during the day's and people want to come for other reasons since is they're here that's why facilities are successful as witnessed by at&t park because people want to be in the city they work in the city and it's great to have sporting events and concerts and having all the parking underground is a great step and having the retail sites that will help support the projects but financially to make that even better than you know it could have been otherwise that's very good idea and we have a lot of transit that's been pointed out one thing we have to look at it and consider with the environmental piece to have a plan of what we will do for people that drive from the east bay we'll courage people to take transit but which way to have the traffic flow i have less concerns about the south because it is easily address is from the south so for the city at large so i just have a couple of questions
