to come up with alternatives, we will keep you apprised of this. there is no legislation that has been written. we can't analyze exactly how this will impact treasure island. this is a map of the existing conditions on the island. there are currently 800 residential units, but the bulk of them being on treasure island, there are two areas not included in the plan. they will retain federal ownership, the red outlined area. it is the southern side of yerba buena island. i will turn it over to craig and karen.

>> i am pleased to share with you a summary of treasure island as it stands today. i am particularly pleased that development in 2005 based on principles articulated remains intact as land use concept. it has been fleshed out by multiple architects and planners the the agency is already public. this includes the safety, security, and economy of that development. it is based upon the microclimate of the island. coupled with building placement , it misses the sun in major public spaces to be able to occupy the exterior. it is a place to reinforce

environmental sustainability and social vitality. the core that you see here, a majority of the island, homes are less than a 10 minute walk. the settlement allows a majority of the island to be a network of green, open space. the island's neighborhoods are woven into this network. there are four principal neighborhoods that comprise development. i will briefly articulate the qualities. the first is the island's center, the social part of the island. there is the historic district and the transportation center. the towers here will provide the historic preservation building the you see here in the

foreground, they will be had actively reused. -- adaptably reused. there is adjacent to the northwest, you can see the wind- protected culture park. the skyline will eb the slend -- be the slender towers you see here. very important. as you may remember from teh 1939 -- the 1939 international exposition, it is an arrival point for the island. the administration building and building two, historic buildings are linked by cultural buildings. and in the transit center there

and the foreground. in the southeast year, it will become a major promenade. on the northwest side, a neighborhood faces the city. as you can see in and open up to a park in the city. and connects to the park. this is lengthened and provides a very fine-grained said of pathways that link this neighborhood and in fact the entire island. the east side is linked to the side of the canal.

there is the diagonal with the pathway that makes a series of sequential gardens going to an east side, an odd and park. there is a pedestrian fabric that links all of these places and and it makes for a profound experience. the development is to and to the very steep -- that makes up -- the offices quarters are preserved. the bicycle and pedestrian pathway is connecting through the island and connected through treasure island.

beginning at the cultural park adjacent to the administration building, there is an existing chapel. this chapel remains in the plans. we want to make these consistent with the pass off of the bay bridge itself, there will be a consistent pathway of the same qualities that we see on the bay bridge.

on the left is the class one mixed use path. the right of way is slightly greater to accommodate the traffic. this is a lowering of the towers in the islands center. this would be lowered to 450 feet and would be lowered a commensurate amount. this will be about 520 feet high. looking back to the city is the

original plan which you see here. that is a very quick summary of the plan revision. the principal author will describe those details. >> good evening, commissioners. i am happy to be here. i am here tonight to what you through the designed for development. i am happy to say that the document has held up quite well during the process. there are some changes that i wanted to mention.

this is the document as you received it and this is the content of it in the same five sections. treasure island is handled separately. this summarizes the cart and the intent and the idea. many of these are in the first section serve there is a description for the vision for this place and a regional destination that brings people from all over and they have their own memorable distinct characteristics as all of the great san francisco neighborhoods do. and there is a number of principles and there. then there are the places you go

through. this is where all the parties go to get a sense of what you can accomplish. then the rest of the documents tell you what to do. we do focus in on the neighborhoods. they cover these topics. we begin with the public space on the streets, the character of the places where we began and thinking about what they should be. there is a section on open space. everyone of them is presented so that you get a rendering of the few and a section of plan and a set of standards and guidelines that comes through.

each distinct area is given that attention and the recommendations in terms of the guidelines. the next section is this is something that fits right together, these are part of the very important public round. there are many different types of streets. there is attention to the streets themselves but also the very important transition area between the area and the streets and try to learn from the developments. for each of the streets to get a sense of the few, what is going to be accomplished. this is a place where we were able to use the ideas of a new type of street which would favor bicyclist and pedestrians.

each one comes with plans, sections, and standards and guidelines. this is a section which is quite familiar to you in terms of addressing the specifics of what kind of uses would be allowed or subjected to special permits. we have some special areas. there is an overlay that you can see that shows the areas that are within the public trust. we take each one of those areas and the public and citic facilities and some supporting

jobs-creating uses and we get each one of those a set of uses. we try to anticipate that this is a place of innovation and their needs to be some flexibility and some guidance and how to accomplish those things. we're looking for innovation in construction. this is a very important section and probably believe are most detailed. what we have added text in this one. there is some questions that came forward in terms of street well. we have focused on the development blocks and easements and have added some additional easements that extend it through the whole of the island.

these are reflecting the changes in the heights. this identifies the places for the various buildings and areas where towers will be in place. there are some that have to deal with building separations. there are six types of buildings that are discussed and regulated through the design

guidelines. when you saw this last, there was 8 sites. you saw these illustrated a few minutes ago. in addition, we have added a discussion about the tops of buildings and have added information about shaping of the buildings, reduction strategies. there is considerable discussions. the next companion chapter is building designs. hear, we're talking about more details and a kind of character that we want to establish. a number of items discussed related to design. there are some specifics. there is a big focus between the streets and the building.

that is a gracious and welcoming way. looking at pedestrians, we discussed and variations and interests along the path of pedestrians along the street wall. a couple of new sections are put in in response to comments that we have gone. there is more discussion on building materials and color. what we are looking at is not the architecture. they're not regulated to be white. we are interested in variety and compatibility. people are working on this and

trying to deal with this. people have been working with diversity at the island. there is discussion about that. each of these sections finishes with a discussion of parking and loading. we go through the same set of issues for the island and discussing what is trying to be accomplished. a different kind of character that will result because our approach is to favor the habitat and to keep the new development pretty much in the development of that is their.

that is what is reflected in the design for development. a series of different roads has been organized. for some uses pinpoint as areas where you can go residential and the adaptive reuse of the historic building and the lower portion of the mount which is the potential location. this is one of many illustrations you find in the document that describes the way in which the buildings are to hold the site and then focusing on the spaces between the buildings. then keeping that public access passing through and going in a variety of ways.

the final section is there for reference. there is more discussion of implementation. in the appendix, we have added these related to the coast guard's need for corridors, the various resolutions and the green building specifications. they are there and in reference to mitigation measures. there are these details that relate on the design for development status. you will be getting the sustainability presentations and specific references to the measures. we hope it will be something as illustrated over the last. thank you. >> thank you.

>> similar to other big projects you see, this does not happen at one time in this stage. there are major phases which there are five of in this project. there are some cases which are two to four blocks of development.

this is a graphic that illustrates there is a major phase approval and there is more detailed design. -- during the seventh phase of approval. -- during the sub phase of approval. then we can sell lots for vertical design. this is the existing plan. there are five phases for treasure island. the first phase is around the retail and commercial for the island center and then they radiate out from there.

we are giving land from the navy and it they are getting these in shops. there are different parcells after that. this gives you an illustration of the substations within the major phase. this is broken up into two phases in the residential areas. there is a process to allow for modifications. we don't presume that we know exactly how this will work and proceed 10 years from now. there is a process to make changes. it has to be consistent with our goals. we don't want to pass a checkerboard pattern.

the redevelopment plan which is part of the package, there is not a time of details. most you will see in the other documents. the redevelopment plans does two things primarily. it sets out the land use plan and this is consistent with the city's general plan. but also has tax income is to pay for infrastructure improvements on the island. tax increments to other projects. they would be able to get these

as passed through back to the city and distribute as property- tax is. this gives you some of the requirements of the redevelopment which we had exceeded in many instances. the affordable scum of the hurdle is 30%. this is the transition plan which is extremely important. this is a major benefit to what is happening on the island. what happens and what is the benefit.

some are doing 1% affordable projects. this can be forcing the housing or family housing but this is a typical affordable project you see in development areas. we have the homeless initiative and they are a consortium of nonprofits providing services. we have had an ongoing relationship with them since the base was closed and it came out with a federal law. this has been an enormous success there. they are providing services to almost -- families and individuals.

they are obviously a very important part of what we do on treasure island. then there are the inclusionary units which you are aware of. we are expecting approximately 1500 units which are for seniors, symbols. we are taking the affordability level at 50% of those units. this is somewhere between zero

and 30%. we will have approval. there will be 435 units. to under 50 and is to replace the existing units. then the new units. the exclusionary is 5% of the market rate projects. there are no offset payment options. there is 60% for rental. we studied up to 8000 units in the eir. we are building about 7500 units. if we build the maximum units, this would be affordable.

we work with the redevelopment agency to identify housing sites to the affordable housing projects. these can change but they also require the approval to change these. the funding for the affordable use of it -- units are coming from a couple of sources. there is some tax credit funding which we will obviously take advantage of. this will be used directly for housing on the island. then there is a developer subsidy of 75 and a dollars for the market rate unit.

the transition housing program, we have talked a lot about this with the existing residents as well as the board of supervisors. but there are existing residents on treasure island. there are about 2000 residents. they set of principles when they approved the resolution for us to come up with a program and we believe that we have come up with a pretty robust program to release to allow for that option. people are getting new units on treasure island
