Order to inform exactly how much retail we should have, how it should be sized and placed within the site. We studied the sizes of the shops from how many different the range of the sizes of the shops, how many were on each block, what is the difference between a corner store with a restaurant and a midblock shop, and we looked to emulate these features that were really consistent across the city in mission rock, which we believe will be the main street of mission bay. We actually went so far as to introduce an entirely different chapter of our controls. Just to preview it, weve had the urban design team and the architecture Landscape Team Work Together to ensure that those retail spaces on the ground floor of each of our buildings is really working to activate and enhance the public realm along the streets themselves. Well also be looking at a siteside programmisit siteside programming for all of the retail, so well be taking a holistic approach to look at where the restaurants should
Initial application dates was grandfathered to a lower transportation fund, and theyre paying the full transportation sustainable fee equivalent, and we at mta with our City Partners have agreed with these revenues along with the pier 70 development which has already been approved will be reinvested in this area as opposed to distributed citywide, and the reason we feel really comfortable doing this is this neighborhood and southern of this area are really aware where the majority of this effort is happening and do deserve concentrated investment. The kind of investments that youll see is building along that network that i described earlier, so really looking at the t third line. Exposing and concealing gaps in our bicycling networks, and funding improvements for bus transit in the area. So with that, im going to turn it back over to phil, from the port. Supervisors, that actually concludes our presentation today. We are available to answer any questions that you may have. Thank you. G
Very early on when i first read about the project, before i had even spoken with anyone on the Development Team or with the giants organization, i expressed with mayor lee, that all things being equal on large projects, we should never accept anything less. Not only struck by how much Affordable Housing is, but the deep affordablity. As most of you know, the constituency that we serve out of our church and the fillmore district cannot really afford what we call Affordable Housing. This has deep affordablity, and we can perhaps quit losing our members to churches in antioch and pit burg atsburg and many who cant live in San Francisco. Also, the amount of work it will provide, but theres Something Else that hasnt been talked about. In talking about the commercial units, looking at them, and with the giants willingness to create new commercial units, so people who own businesses, people who are hopeful of becoming entrepreneurs, can come here and open up.

We are available to answer any questions that you may have. Thank you. Great. Thank you so much. 1k3 and so i want to call up members of the public who wish to speak. People flock to these different neighborhoods in saech search of something novel and different. Yet where i live, people drive through on their way to a different destination. Those that live in the area leave to go to other neighborhoods. Mission rock will create an inviting, inclusive, vibrant neighborhood drawing on the residents of mission bay, mission rock and south beach. Mission rock will bring about new friendships and relationships, the very essence of community. Neighbors supporting new small businesses.
