can see the new design for pierce thirty 32. there are representatives here from the lawyers team and others nick reward and, of course, craig. peter albert will be joining us shortly he'll come in and we'll all think around for questions. as you may remember craig was here talking about the second phase of pierce thirty and 32. you'll see six months of intensive review from comments b from public agrees and the planning department and the mta.

there's a collaborative effort from agency that have jurisdiction in the promise. at the end of the august the planning department provided form comments inform the warriors team on the second reiteration to make sure we incorporated the comments into the design on the open space connections on the piers and on the scale and interests of the sort of perimeter access along the edges of the pier. and probably most important to us the sort of articulation of the main entrance as you're walking from downtown at the intersection with the embarcadero. so we've included copies of that memo in your packets i believe

in august, august 23rdrd. i can provide you another copy. so with that we'll get to the order of business. i'll turn this over to envy colleagues. we'll be here after the presentation to answer any questions you might have. thank you >> is it is this one? okay. thank you. thank you hello again commissioners it's a procure to show you the latter developments. there's been a great deal of work on the project. i want to clarify we're focusing on pier thirty and 32. you may be interested in the seawall site m that won't be presented there's still issues on that.

so although obviously there are some implications of the design along the embarcadero. i'm maple to answer as many questions as i can we're happy to answer questions about the whole. your focus is on thirty and 32. the first thing we wanted to remind you have we've been continual stabilizing the pier. there's been a lot of studies to assure that the pier can be stabilized to manage the pier as it krmgz into the bay. so part of our a big part of our goal and emphasis is to make sure it's viable for the citizens of the community. we're looking forward to creating a design that provides for access than we're able to

have here today. 3 that will be open on all sides important our first sketch is a reminder and also to suggest to you that although many changes have been made the core consent is the same. so the open space is a commodity not just a left over thing. this particular idea has been carried through to the original scream. but the emphasis on the view to the bay bridge peer to the south will be maintained in this current design. moving from the north to the south there are more things to

see. one is approving access and various types of access across the site. many comments from the community and those who've been working with we're working with developing a more inviting scale to the building to assure with the massing of these things are in scale. we're trying to provide for park space and a vegetation. this was what big challenge because originally the sketches showed you less of that but there's a commitment to this by the team and ownership to insure that would be a healthy place. so here's the first view of the new it location. it's the version 3.10 you notice

the areas on the west side of the site have been broken down. there's a v shape that goes through the retail that's a passage a gentle rising passage that takes you up to the center plaza. you'll note there are several things we'll mark in detail many of the heights have come down so that are central plaza area has been lowered and the northeast corners have been load. there's been cut outs given to the edge of the pier for quickly access to the pier. so all of those things have been part of our thinking. this was the previous scream to remind you. the retail was set into two

large blocks and there was a straightedge to the arena. the arena was slightly larger. in fact, what we've shown is the red scale and the retail are important it's more imitate in scale and porous. we reduced the program but about thirty thousand square feet that's the gross square feet of the area. without sacrificing performance in general it's about being efficient and tighter on the solutions and making sure the engine solutions are able to make things more refined. the other thing, of course, is mentioned we'll talk about is

the there of water that's open to the sky. it remains maritime use and a for the fireboats on the north and east and on the south public access to leisure activities. you'll no a lot of green that raised plaza used to be a little less planned. we brought more vegetation both this sloping surface. the sloping sacrifice comes down. those rapture ramps they're less than than one to 20 they slope but don't require a handrail. it's a simple sloping sacrifice from bottom to top. this is a long chart there's

time to review it but for the purposes of this meeting we'll highlight some of the factors. we've lowered the event center down to one hundred and 10 feet. as you know in cities people gage the height of structures by their eave line. so we pushed the top portion of the building inward so it's one hundred and 10 and it's in the center of the arena itself. we managed to decrease the 03 thousand square feet in the facility. we've sort of morning managed inform maintain the soviet of interior. one is to raise the amount of total open space that's 7 and a half acres of open space.

we would like to say that's 3 union squares of space that's available to the sky and it's created a park like atmosphere per we've increased the amount of vems to there's two acres that's planted what sort of plantings. we've kept the mradz at the northwe northwe northwest corner. on the cars remain at 5 hundred although reduced from the one hundred and thirty. and finally, from the last version we've actually removed for an hundred of pier space so there's less pier and more water

in this new scheme. but the first thing we're going to go through 9 points the first point is approving safety. as you recall we had a situation where the primary entrance was at the northeast corner but it made it difficult to manage and some people felt that maybe we could but it was better to try to push the limits of this support access so we moved it it the south it's mid block more in lion with the vehicular challenges around brian street. if you see that blue error e arrow that puts that into the

applicant lane. there's 3 lanes that could be rotated. there's a number of places where you can move around the site obviously in terms of vehicular access. we're proposing to put bicycle parking. we have room for 3 hundred valet bicycle parking spaces and seven hundred are more available spaces. we've worked hard to insure that the bilk lane can move freely pr and not have a lot of starts and stops. i, you know, there's been talk about a bicycle track those things are possible with the given design.

the second point is there's been a radical adjustment to the northwest corner it opened up the space for people stayed. furthermore we've removed retail from that location. you'll see because of the moving of the parking and because we've moved retail we've opened up this space. we've had this in the recent picture. we optional have a 10 foot stair access not particularly positive. instead now by moving the vehicular site we have no vehicle conflict and seven hundred feet that's open to the public on all sides. we've moved the retail to 80 a

series of terraces so the retail element is pulled away from the corner. this is a view from the north he looking south. there's some details we find interesting. the roof escapes are getting socialister it works with the soft shape of the arena it's the white structure. the fire department remains in the similar location. there's the 3 steps we've made several terraces that led away from the north west he copper but if you looked the right side its only one story high and then it steps up to 2 and 3 stories. so there's a lot of mitigation of scale and a widening of the spates.

one of the key features is reduce the plazas height. as you know there's a view i'll walk you through that that. we had an issue we have to bring people in at plus 37 feet we have to drop the arena into the water so there's a plus 37 that has to be kept. so we worked with engineering to make it more efficient from 37 to 28. that shows you how much mass has been from us this area of the site by creating more efficient design. here you can see where the plus 37 level was on the left and where the plus 28 is. some people refer to this area as the saddle you
