because the past doesn't need to be mroengd >> i agree the point i made earlier there so many assets but i found over the years there's not enough time spent among the various cities talking abouts regional assets. now we're not saying there are not enough regional agencies but there are and their full of brilliant people but not enough authority but trying to collaborate what those cities iowa they wish to do but perhaps there's a challenge for the region is to really think about how we can begin to think about

regional think tanks with top developmental agencies should be forced to meet open a regional basis and think about the regional resources they hadn't to be located in their particular jewish regions but it makes more sense because of their economic dynamics to satisfy a particular need for the region and that particular location shouldn't suffer as some economic consequence for the fact that that regional asset is located there >> let's get mayor lee to speak open that. mayor lee >> i'm telling you bruce and cfo i didn't i'm using more and more time to participate in the regional entities like the bay

entrepreneurship form have gone to give us the opportunities to talk about regional on topics we all care about and transportation is always going to be to one because we need the bay transportation system that works. and i always speak not only of san francisco but as the bay region when i going to those national cities to compete ultimately i don't necessarily care that a km company might be floekd another part of the bay area we're going to by the people from that upkeep so as a bay area we've got to keep this system that we have very strong so working on transportation issues those things bring us

together and we'll share resources >> thank you, ma'am. >> so many of our realties have changed we have gear engineering helping with climate congressman and quantum commuting which is all about reducing the humans needs to participate in the workplace we see robotic machines across china and the future is really about replacing humans with machinery. we see that in the economy so i want to talk with you before bruce because the institute has been supportive of that research that is replacing humans with

machinery >> thank you bruce cats. >> well, we've about that here before there are disrush active technologies in the past where it will dmich employment so i don't want to by any stretch want to talk about rofbdz for certain kinds of work but if we focus as the mayor and a connie has focused about a very different kind of committee that's productive and innovative that's resilient; right? and we begin to talk about some of those issues like the shift to 0 lower carbon economy as giving cities and metz the first

advantage i don't think we should be overly worried or concerned about this technical innovation and we went off course for a very long time by this is our wake up call this is the moment we need to understand what assets and advantages we have in the world and we need to max maximum misses their opportunity. if we can stay on that focus i think we can make up the jobs deficit about 10 million jobs in the country we can have quality jobs that can help a large portion of our youth make their way. let's embrace this technology

for the world >> we have to he said it there bruce cats vice president of the metropolitan institution and have cities and he metropolitan we heard from the urban developer and san francisco ed lee and thank you all for listening to our program and thank you for coming

>> five c adopting environmental review findings pursuant to the california environmental quality act, and conditionally approving combined basic conceptual and schematic designs for block 49, a 60 unit affordable housing project on parcel a pursuant to the hunters point shipyard phase 1 development and disposition agreement; hunters point shipyard redevelopment project area. discussion and action is solution number 50-2013. madam director. >> good afternoon commissioners and good afternoon to the members of the public. thank you for joining us. commissioners at your first meeting of last year you approved the shipyard disposition development agreement. as part of that amendment you permitted the master developer lanar to develop its housing obligation. it would come from the master developer and the tax credits, any gaps financing that would

be necessary. in further of that amendment this is a basic comprise and it will come back later in the year to get the transfer and development. with that i'd like to ask you anabell to present this item. >> thank you. >> thank you. good afternoon commissioner members. i'm the assistant project manager for the shipyard. i'm asked for the commissioner to adopt finding pursuant to approval the concept and design for block 49, a 60 unit affordable housing shipyard. as part of my presentation i'll provide information about the shipyard and the design team will

provide schematic design and i'll give a review of the next steps. >> block 49 is located on the shipyard. it's a residential area and in the presentation on the screen, in the yellow area you can see the shipyard developments to be built. on the left side you see the existing neighborhood along donahue. 15 percent of all units is affordable. 30 percent or 58 units are at a 50 percent income level and the remaining 70 percent are 134 units are at 80 percent. additionally the agency will develop affordable units for a total of 410 units on phase one

of the shipyard. the original version and all developer affordable units are included in the unit which means they'll be spread out to the market rate project. the 6th amendment which was an amendment that occurred in october of 2012 allows development for all units on one dedicated block. block 49 and that change makes block 49 an affordable housing site. on this map you can see the locations of all affordable housing which are yellow and the block 49 location in red. >> the sixth amendment hasn't turned anything about the total number and to be developed but the change will result in a 50 percent mi to be developed much sooner and it's spread throughout the development of

the market rate project. further as part of the 6th amendment they'll pay any gap that's to fill the project and pay a $1 million affordable housing fee. if the conditions at 4th and the 6th amendment aren't set aside for the housing development and it doesn't happen for any reason than vertical developers will build units within market rate project exactly as it was prior to the 6th amendment to the dda. block 49 units are be made available to people who earn up to 80 percent income which is $450 for a one person housing or $50,600,000 and this

is based on half numbers. the rent that they'll be paying for a one bedroom unit is a little bit over $1,000 and for the bigger unit, the two bedroom units is $1,265. since block 49 is structured similarity to affordable housing site, it's being treated like an oci affordable housing type as far as design approval. rather than utilizing a phase project that a market project will pursue. staff is requesting approval and we'll bring several -- legal documented for approval early 2014 when the project is closer to closing. lanar will convey block 49 to the agency at no cost and have

a vertical lease disposition agreement between the agency and the block 49 housing developer and it will also a ground lease between the block 49 developer and the agency. for this approved before you the staff said that it's complete and consistent with the phase dda, the climate and the phase one design for development guidelines. as it's common at the schematic design stage there a few remaining designs issues that need to be resolved in stages. i'll give an over view of these at the end of this presentation. all elements of the schematic design went through a process which included several meetings at the citizen's advisory committee and a committee design which we received a lot of direct feedback from the

community that was implemented by the design team. final meeting is september 9th and cc members concurred with staff bringing this application forward to you. at it point i want to hand over to creg with m-cal who will introduce the design team. >> good afternoon madam chair, commissioner hes, director lee. a pleasure to be before you. i wanted to introduce am cal and myself for those who don't know me. i've had a 20 year career in development in san francisco on the non profit private and public sector. most recently i have been before the redevelopment commission as a member of the commission administration and a couple of years left the city to start a bay area office for

m-cal and i'm really excited to be involved in the first affordable development at the shipyard which has been a long time coming and we're really ex -- excited about the work and the way you've paved. we've got a great design team and we're excited about the proposal in front of you and the work we've done to date and we feel like with your nod of approval we'll be headed to breaking ground in the early part of next year. we're realry excited. i want to thank you forgiving m-cal the opportunity to date to work on its first san francisco project. we've been around for 30 years and done 40 affordable communities in the state of california. we still own and operate all of those so we're a

long term player and investor in the community and we're looking forward to adding san francisco to that list of communities. i want to turn it over to our local community partner, young community developers, weldon and we'll introduce the rest of the development team and talk about the community process and we'll walk-through the design. >> good afternoon commissioners, director lee. executive developer and young developers. as creg mentioned there are other partners that are apart of this project with us so you have m-cal and young developers and bernard as the master developer and the architect and david beck and associated. just for clarification, we're managing general partner and we'll actually receive set asset management fee each year as

well as receive a portion of vler fees and be able to participate 100 percent along the way to make sure our communities have opportunity for these housing unit and provide opportunities for the construction and the work force pieces and components that are apart of this project as we we move forward as well. but i do want to highlight part of the community process that we got here today so we did hold a community sharet august 29th and we got feedback from the community. members -- for example, a lot of families came from hundreds of you who have participated in the redevelopment so they provided their insight as well as members of the community and bay view in general and just wanted to come and support and really give their thoughts about what these units should look like in comparison to the rest of the developments on the

shipyard. here's some pictures of that process and we'll see that oci staff participated and the architects and design team. this was held in the community right behind ycd build. they had an opportunity to hold this -- to host this in our backyard. you can see the posted, those were opportunities for individuals who participated in the sharet to give their feedback according to which section and what they thought the changes should be or what updates should be made. so just an example of some of the feedback that we got from the design, sharet and kevin is going to talk about this when he presents but comments like the building mass is too heavy,

response to curved and center landmark element, colorful wood, flat screen with gaps and the response was more transparency as screen and too much feel and then the introduction of the recess and the response was building a mass too heavy. you'll see some of those responses and the changes will be presented in the design presented before you. but i want to highlight the partnership with m-cal and the rest of the team as we move forward to provide this opportunity for the resident and the community in regards to the shipyard and the affordable housing opportunity. i'll turn this over to kevin. >> good afternoon. kevin with

david becker architect. i think what you saw was held in one of the buildings that we designed and it was a good event. i'm going to walk you through the design. this image shows a view from the hill of the building at the top of the noel of the shipyard and it has a nice use of the bay. one feature you'll see is a landmark to identify the building and provided a focus for the project. i think amabell showed this slide of where this is. this is an aerial of the shipyard as you can see. our site is in the upper right hand corner of the

image block 49. the other two below are block 15 and 51. that puts it in context. some of the data on the project we have a mixture of one, twos, and threes as you can see there. the percentages of those units in the average unit size, the buildings is about $85,000 square feet combined with the garage and community areas. we're parked at 43 spaces and then we'll -- i'll go over the data. this is a list of the development standards for this site. as you can see we meet or exceed all the standards for the d for d in terms of density, coverage, we're below the maximum coverage allowed. we're below the height on a portion of the building that's allowed to the site. there's a

parking maximum, so we're below that with the 45 spaces we're provided in the enclosed garage on the first floor. we also have bike parking, street loading off site is not required and then our goal is to meet, lead, silver and sea level for green building requirements. this shows the project in terms of is -- you can see it in the model here, it's two locking l's that has two exterior court yard. one opens up to the south which is the summer court and one opens up on donahue and someone can walk in from either side and

access the court yard. the site does have great solar access and good access to transit and a bike path and it's up on the noel as i mentioned earlier. this is the site. the one on the right and then the one on the left shows the context on donahue. so i wanted to show you a few images here. this is an image when you're standing on fradell, it shows the landmark element. one of the things that tramont touched on was earlier designs we had, we had a form and feedback from community. they wanted something softer. in terms of the deep -- it's a metal screen. this form contains all the community spaces in the project, the

laundry room, it has a deck at the top floor with the view of the bay beyond and then you'll see the lower level where we introduce another -- another comment was provide some wood at the ground floor to make it softer for those who visit the building. you'll see the height in the upcoming image. so the next image is down on fradell near the pocket park. here we step the massing of the building in and out as well as up and down. we articulated the corner. that was another comment from the community to kind of erode the corner there at the park. and then introduce some color accent on the project. also the windows step up and down
