spelled out. what are some of the forms of assistance? this comes down to if we are providing sufficient forms of assistance to the developer? that is the question in the center of this whole issue. i am listing just a few of them here. it includes a much more exhaustive list. we have listed what we believe are all the forms of public assistance that comply with the statute. i will highlight a few of the most obvious. the most obvious is the elimination of maximum density controls. you cannot build more than one unit per 800 square feet of lot area. we are moving towards foreign-

based identity controls. we have setbacks controlling density, and we don't set arbitrary caps on density. we have a eliminated maximum density controls. we have reduced setbacks and increased permissible height envelopes for many of the parcels. the new buildings exceeding 40 feet and for residential demolitions, we are permitting more commercially make use development that would be allowed under current zoning and leading the development rights. i am happy to answer questions as i can when we come to that.

i want to talk about who qualifies as an existing tenants. the agreement defines an existing tenants. it is subject to all the rights for relocation. i have laid it out here as clear as i can, that if any person executes a lease with occupancy rates and any subsequent occupants reciting an existing unit with the knowledge or approval by developer, when it is provided for the replacement building, you are in an existing units and you get a notice that they are beginning work, construction on a replacement unit, on the project site that ultimately will be moved into. you are a family member or something in that unit and you get a notice. that is a qualification number

one. that you are still in that unit when the city issues the first certificate of occupancy for the replacement building, your new unit has received the city's approval for occupancy. if you meet those requirements, you are an existing tenant protected and entitled to all of the rights in this agreement. if there is any dispute der status, his it is not by the developer, but by the rent board. of pay, the next topic. this is a big one. a lot has been said publicly about what will be provided and what may not be provided. i will try to go through that list and i appreciate your patience. every single unit and that is demolished will be replaced. because of the way we have structured this agreement, it is

important to note that at any given time, there could be more rent-controlled units on the site than exists today. there can never be less. why is that? because we require the full replacement building to be complete and have certificates of occupancy issued by the city before a single existing unit is demolished. it is possible and we could have more than the existing 3212, i believe is. the same bathroom and bedroom count. we divide up the existing units, and there is a list which is divided basically upon a one- bedroom, one bath. so on and so forth. there are 10 typologies. we have clarified how many fall

into those categories, and they will be notified. unless they specifically requests -- unless they downsize, we have a process for reducing the rent. there is a storage area. that includes off-site storage. i don't want to get too much into the weeds on this, but we have broken into the typologies where we have come up with an average size for each unit. he might gain some miners were

footage or you might lose some of minor square footage. it varies between 10 and 20 square feet. we are not talking about hundreds of square feet. we have made a policy decision, but is an immaterial change. that is a policy decision, and that is an act of open discussion about whether we should reduce the rent. this is one of the choices we have made. the same base rent they are paying today, you can keep your pets and you are allowed to have pets.

one of the ordinance based grants are eliminated. if there have been previous capital improvements, they are eliminated when this move occurs in the tent will go back to the original rent or when they get the end of this to relocate. no new ones are allowed for the related costs. they can't say they are building this amazing organic farm or this a state of the art bio- soil system. under the rent ordinance in the future, they are not related to this project and its implementation. new appliances are provided. the same parking rights and rent

are also afforded all existing tenants. not necessarily the same location. many of you were commenting about how this is a transit oriented development. how are we going to encourage transit rider ship. >in that many of you have advocated for. where that occurs, the space is perhaps less convenient. i want to be very specific. replacement patio's and balcony's are not guaranteed.

there are many in this proposal and the tenants would be allowed to pick based on seniority of their unit type if they have a patio or balcony. they get to rank their replacement units accordingly. it is likely that many will receive them, but we can't guarantee all folks will receive them. i am trying to speed it up. i have just described what the replacement units are about. this is a really important point, and i can't live in this uncertainty.

we don't want people to think they are going to be evicted or moved at a moment's notice. there shall be no relocation. generally less than two years without two years minimum notice. that process might be three or more years. this because of the length of time between notifying tenants and the relocation plan. it means we have to include the construction of a replacement building. even with the incredible construction technology, we are talking at least the 18 months for completing and getting a certificate of occupancy. at a minimum, people ahead --

they will potentially strength and that notice provision. i mentioned this before. before any permit can be issued, we haven't even started the building yet. there requires that the developer must submit to the city a tenant relocation plan. that plan is to replace the existing units that are proposed to be demolished. the number of existing tenants that will be affected and an estimated schedule for their relocation. and finally a detailed description of the process that i am about to describe. it is reviewed at a public hearing and the executive

director of the rent board. within 90 days, that is the first step. i want everyone to understand there is a plan that gets circulated. it goes to the board and the existing tenants. we have a replacement building that has been called out in the previous relocation plan. and the rent board and any residence associations. the contents are detailed explanation, he writes or redress that can be obtained through the rent board. and completion data for all of those existing tenants. i have a slew of notices here

and i will try to move through it. if you remember, that initial notice was the first trigger. check the box. after the replacement building is close to completion, we require the developer provide an availability notice. this is a notice that says units are going to become available soon. this has to be issued one year to six months before the building can be occupied. many tenants will give a one-six months notice that the building will soon be ready and they will be able to select units. the first acceptance notice is when the tenant says, thank you for notifying. the tenants are allowed to list the top five choices within the

and that type that they qualify for. you can't lift a 3-bedroom unit or upgrade unless you want to enter into a new lease. once the developer sees that first notice, it is not a lottery but they run a selection process based on seniority. they get the first pick in you move down the list. we have not figured out a fair way to deal with this. we're open to hearing ideas from tenants. once they received the replacement unit notice, this is the unit that they are proposing to provide you. the tenant has to accept that. there is a second who accepted mr. notice. when the first certificate of

occupancy iss7ñ issued and is ry to be moved into by human beings, a relocation notice is given. that notice you wanted is ready. they agreed by mutual consent to move within 30-60 days after that notice. and now i have walked you threw in as simple of form as possible, how the process works. we are almost done. what about the tenants that want to stay in the existing housing but don't want to move into a new unit? a couple of important things, they are allowed to stay in that rent-controlled unit. they remain in rent-controlled in perpetuity until they are demolished. they don't get to remove rent control restrictions. if there is a delay, the replacement building is built in

the market falls out. we have another great recession. the developer has to maintain that building. that is subject to zero rent- controlled provisions. that existing tenant who chooses, i don't want to move into that unit and i love my garden. i want to stay here until the end, so to speak. they can stay in that unit until the demolition permits for the building is issued by the city. the developer cannot force them to leave. the developer has the full permits issued. the stop leasing other units and the developer cannot be leasing units while he tells the tenant who is hanging around to scram. they have to stop leasing units and finally, the developer has to deliver a 60-day notice that is the rent board standard.

60 days. all existing tenants are required -- entitled to full relocation. that means up to a maximum of $13,500 per household. no difference. the developer may lease vacant to be replaced units to new tenants. until the 60-day notice to vacate decided to stay. let me be clear. if a tenant says they are ready to relocate, they leave, and other tenants say they don't want to leave, the developer has a right to release the unit to a new tenant. but this building is slated to be demolished and that tenants knows that before they enter the lease.

it is fair and transparent. they are moved into a building that will eventually rejoin down. the concept is pretty basic, you have a fully informed agreements to read that unit and knowing it will be demolished. we are not proposing giving that same assistance to new tenants that come out after a full notice to be demolished. that is it. i will limit my presentation to that. i will get into details of members of the commission would like to discuss its. >> that completes our presentation.

>> all rights. -- right.

>> ok. if i could get the slides up. we started the transportation discussion of sort of the pedestrian aspects, the pedestrian mobility. we talked about new connections across a lot of the major streets that surround the project. there is a series of new access points. we talked about that and we will skip the component. we can come back and talk about that if you want, but we will go straight to the traffic into transit component. like the new access that is being created for pedestrians around the site, there is a

substantial amount of new improvements being made or proposed for vehicular circulation. there are very few access points in and out of a project. there will be a bit least six new or substantially new vehicular access points into the project so they don't need to circulate around the project. and there is sort of major congestion. people coming and going can this -- to distribute to the most convenient access points. both the brotherhood will be reconfigured. besides these new access points, there will be substantial improvements in some of the major intersections that are troublesome in the future. the best is being proposed.

these improvements have come about not just through the proposal, but the planning department and the mta. and will come up with a substantially improved at some of these locations and hopes the ceiling doesn't cave in. through the environmental review process, we identified substantial improvements that can be made to the intersection. looking strictly at the vehicular level of service, if you will, that is typical for environmental review analysis,

some changes were proposed for the intersection specifically, adding turn lanes to make vehicles moved through better. there are some trade-offs there, and there are already existing deficiencies for pedestrians. it is difficult to get across the lake. the planning department and the mta came up with -- it enables us to add crosswalks tok that intersection so that people can get across. it will be one of the new major access points. it will have traffic improvement as well as pedestrian improvement. just a couple of other intersections to highlight ha, the project in through the

environmental review process, there is a need to add additional lanes to those roads. and at the same time, create opportunities to add new crosswalks where none exist today. also, the intersections at 19th avenue present substantial opportunities in this reconfigured addition to smooth the flow of traffic. you included modest improvements of the immediate intersection, one that we just wanted to show the extent of the dialogue and the improvements that are being considered. this is the intersection a couple of blocks north of the site.

through the traffic analysis, we identified the need is the priority was to keep the vehicular level of service at what is considered acceptable levels. it comes at a compromise of other important values such as pedestrian safety and on-street parking. to monitor this overtime, should traffic horse and -- worsen, the city will have the opportunity to engage the community at that point tod8 see if the highest priority is to keep traffic flowing or improve pedestrian safety. those choices can be made in the future. but they are laid out in the documents. moving forward, you have heard a lot about the proposed

realignment of the m streetcar through the site. there are also questions from the commissioners in the previous hearings about other forms of transit, particularly in buses. it works closely with the mta to come up with a new bus route in plan -- routing plan. just to keep it brief, it would create a new intermodal bus and rail hub at the new transit plaza as well as realign some of the bus routes that run through the sights to better serve the housing as it is proposed. meshing with that is the proposed shuttle plan to serve residents and workers as well as stones town and shopping

area. they have been designed to match with the bus system in the light rail system. they are actually -- in the transportation plan, there is a full plan are laying out the required headways in the different trigger points that one of the project hits, has to start providing this increased level of shuttle service. it is very well laid out in the project. a couple of other aspects, we talked about land use and how it supports reducing vehicle miles traveled, but there are other more active things that are in part of the project that is important to point out. one very important one is the community benefit.

transit subsidies. $20 per unit, per month. the logistics' are still being worked out about how it will be implemented. the residents can take advantage of that. there will also be the active management of the pricing. you heard about the share that the project would implement. the city has not ruled out a program at. before i turn it over to the mta, let me touch on parking. in a nutshell, physically how the parking layout would be his underground. with the exception of a couple of blocks northeast in the

neighborhood, a commercial area. -- neighborhood-commercial area. in terms of how the numbers layout, parking would be essentially concentrated in terms of how it relates to the ratio of the number of units to a number of parking spaces. there will be more parking on the west side vs. the east side. that is concentrating year transit so that there are more units to fit as much parking and rolling it out as it gets less dense. on the east side, the ratio is about half a space per unit. overall, the project is proposing one-one parking. some residents
