state bills authorize the creation of a transportation -- treasure island transportation management agency, and that is the agency that would manage the transportation demand management program. we are going to be recommending to you that transportation authority board accommodate that function. we will be coming to you after april 7 with that recommendation. we have already had conversations with authority staff at this point. titma will coordinate the transit service with ferry service, ac transit, and mta, and it collects the on-island congested parking fees which allows them to put that back into how you set the ferry rate and other transportation incentives. they will coordinate to make sure we achieve the balance between transit ridership -- really, alternate but such as cars. titma also helps us look at the

long term. you saw the slides of how the votes have changed through the environmental review, which requires us to look at how the roads function and perform. if over time, there are some triggers that show congestion is getting to affect reliability, the titma coordinates with us to implement a mitigation measures that goes back to make sure that munii appreciate the time to tak about this and would like to talk to you about the taxi service as well as other questions. >> it just to follow up on peter's remarks. in our agreement with the interagency cooperation, they are not required to provide that bus service. but we are bullied by the fact that during their latest

iteration of planning, the 108 survived and there is a vocal constituency including the job corps and the 1800 residents on the island that argue that 108 is critical to them getting back and forth from san francisco. we have a physical analysis that shows general fund revenues will be greater than what we need to provide police, fire and muni service. the last topic we want to talk about, the housing plan and transition housing. obviously a key component is the provision of affordable housing. a 30% of the units developed on the island are required to be affordable, and they come in various ranges of affordability. that's about 2400 units of the 8000. the sources of financing that

are available come from three primary sources. one is the land of the developer is required to build the and the pads that have utilities delivered to them. there is the tax increment financing, 20% going to affordable housing. there is a $51,000 per unit subsidy that could be used to build affordable housing. here is a chart that shows the anticipated numbers of affordable housing. we break them up into three groups. there is affordable housing that would be developed in partnership with the treasure island a homeless development partnership initiatives. tie dye has been a great partner in developing the plan before you. they have been at the table for 15 years developing this plan when the federal government enacted laws to close these places. they required localities to partner with service

organizations that provide services to homeless groups to use these assets. they have but what does not only in developing the plan, but they have to under 50 occupied units that make the island a more vibrant place. there are units that are developed by the treasure island development authority. they would partner like the agency does with non-profit housing developers. we anticipate there being about 1670 units of tie dye housing. we anticipate full build out to be about 295 units of inclusion rehousing. we have identified a preliminary map to show where the affordable pads are. this shows you the 24 lots which could be divided in the future to provide more lots, but these

24 lots would get us 2400 units of housing. there is an ability as we move forward with the development plan to change some of the locations. but we work with them in the redevelopment agency to identify these lots. supervisor mar: if it is good there spread out, it is there anything that differentiates the affordable housing for a market rate housing? >> we have tried to do just that -- put them within dead neighborhoods in various locations. we wanted to make sure some more close to the grocery store in the ferry terminal because then they end up scoring higher for tax credits in other financing sources. so the three types again -- the egg units will range in affordability but we are taking

50% to be the average. they could go lower or higher. these could be provided for low- income families, seniors, singles, etc.. it could be ownership or rental. the tida units, there are 250 occupied units and we would replace those units as well as provide 185 new units. we are pegging affordability to these units at 0% to 30% of ami and we will have a separate agreement that lays out how and when they get the parcels to be developed. the and exclusionary unit, we made a -- see inclusionary unit,

in exchange for more pads to build 100% affordable projects, you will note that rate is lower than it is a city-wide at 5%. these are units that would be built within the market rate products and anywhere between 80% and 120 for home ownership, for sale units. on transition housing, we had a lot of discussion with the residents. at first -- supervisor wiener: i know you spoke about the levels of affordability and in terms of low-income verses middle-income housing, about 90% -- 80% was for low-income? >> that depends on how you define low-income.

if you are defining it at 50% or 60% below, the affordable housing would be for low-income. i will note that the units -- we have a flexible funding source which could be $90 million. if we get the pads, it would be their decision to tie the income level. >> when would that be -- supervisor wiener: when would that be? >> when they get land or mo, they would make a recommendation to the type of housing. we did peg in the redevelopment plan that on average, the affordability level would be 50%. we may need to look at that if

you want to make adjustments. supervisor wiener: this is a broader issue in the city in that we do a really poor job of lead building middle-income housing. it was disappointing to me to see that by san francisco standards, we have a big opportunity for developing affordable housing and it's disappointing to see a fairly low percentage being devoted to middle-class housing or work force housing or whenever we want to call it. i would like to see a diversity of affordable housing ranging from very low when come to middle-income because we -- our economy in san francisco is at risk of being hollowed out of the middle-class and i think we need to do everything we can to prevent that.

i will keep repeating this. i know the horse is a little bit out of the barn, but to the extent we're able to make changes, i would like to consider that. >> this is an issue that has come up with some board members expressing the same thing. we are highlighting where that provision comes and -- a the tida units are more flexible and -- probably less so on the others. this is the last slide. on transition housing, what happens to the existing residents on the island? there are about 1800 residents living on treasure island now. there are about 800 occupied units. we have had a lot of discussion with the residents on forming this plan. we don't get a lot of feedback -- we get a lot of positive

feedback on the plan itself, so i think residents are excited to have an island that would provide them with more amenities and options, but they're concerned that they could remain on the island and what would be available to them. we proposed a benefit package to folks living on the island, some who have been there a decade, that would give them options. they would have the right to a new unit after their existing rents which would be constructed by tida. they would be eligible -- eligible for an in live payment , from $5,000 to $20,000, or the ability to purchase a new unit and we would provide that cml for purchase assistance. that is the boiled down version, but we have had a lot of discussion with the island residents and a lot of changes to this plan. it seems to be fairly well

received by those currently living on the island. that concludes our presentation. i'm happy answer any questions. supervisor mar: somebody has e- mail question about the earthquake and tsunami and sea level rise. could you reiterate the considerations you paid to the infrastructure on the island so that has addressed all of the concerns about potential disasters that might occur with a significant rise by natural disasters by an earthquake or tsunami? >> part of our presentation next week will be part of the infrastructure plan. they are definitely talking about our strategy to make the island, improve the island seismically as well as elevate the island and shoreline for sea level rise, which would help in a situation where a tsunami is.

basically, the island is being compacted. the soil will be compacted and the soil will be brought in and elevate the island in your between 3 feet and 6 feet. to seismically improve it is the most important aspect, but it would also provide benefits for sea level rise and a tsunami. supervisor mar: from a full page ads -- from eight full-page ad, they are urging delay or more time for public comment before the eir is approved and saying the urgency of the redevelopment decisions at the state level should not prevent more time for public comment on the environmental review. i would just ask you could respond to that. >> this has been one of the more vetted projects in san francisco's history. we have met with the issues

identified in at add, we have been talking about for 10 or 15 years. it's not as if this has been the only opportunity in the last week or so to comment on these issues. we have been before the board six times to talk about the development plan. our cab meets once a month and out twice a month. we have had general president meetings with those of the island -- >supervisor mar: what would be the consequences of a delay like that? we expect the governor will be successful in his redevelopment reform rebozo. >> the short answer is we do not know. -- successful in his or redevelopment reform proposal. >> we don't even know if it could continue adopting a plan. we're trying to move as expeditiously as possible, knowing that proposal is out there.

but we're probably moving at that pace anyway given that it has been a plan that is 15 years in the making. supervisor wiener: if could just make the suggestion -- we're already getting phone calls related to the tsunami and treasure island. i don't know if there's going to be a campaign about that. i was contacted by the press about it today. i know that it seems like there's a strong plan for sea level rise and i would recommend being prepared for that specific question even though we are unlikely to get a 0.9 earthquake here. supervisor mar: thank you for the great presentation. we have a lot of speakers and a good variety of folks. i'm going to call them in the order that i have their cards.

[reading names] and then there are more that i have not called yet. >> ago afternoon, supervisors. i'm the executive director of the treasure island home was development initiatives. supervisor mar: because of the number of speakers, we're going to ask everyone to limit it to 2 minutes per person. >> i have been involved with the reuse plan for dryland for 16 years and i'm still excited about the redevelopment plan. it reflects a lot of what we have going on today. it is going to be a neighborhood

of people all sorts of socio- economic background and there'll be jobs for people of barriers to employment and this will all happen in the bp surrounding us in the day. except for the redevelopment plan, we make all of these plans for the people in the island today, we expand it, it grows, it gets bigger and better and the island gets stronger and more sustainable. we are excited to be at this point it week have added the housing plan significantly. we worked with affordable housing developers and major was financially feasible and workable and integrated into the larger community. we strongly support the housing plan. next, the revised, legally mandated agreement will be coming before you, but i just want to share the fact we have that the planning tables for a long time and are still very energized and excited to see it come to fruition.

>supervisor mar: 15 years? >> is 16 years on march 9th for me. >> i'm with the san francisco bicycle association great we're bringing our support to this project. we have been involved for several years. personal -- personally and professionally, i don't remember a large scale redevelopment project for we have been so involved and so welcome. we are particularly proud of the work we have done with the department public health and others on a plan for a likable, walkable treasure island. the work we did with our stakeholder partners and agency partners is all being pulled into the design for development. you saw some illustrations of that. it's very exciting to have a brand new neighborhood to be set out as a walkable and likable neighborhood. we are concerned about access.

you have had several questions about transit access and the natural bottleneck that exists. we cannot have everyone driving to this neighborhood. it's very important we get transit right and have a strategy for containing and pricing trips. it's very exciting to have what we think is the state's first congestion pricing mechanism in place. it will be exciting to see that go forward. we bring our support and pride in being part of the process and we look forward to this moving forward and becoming the city's new neighborhood. of course of finishing the bay bridge so we can all walk and bike between neighborhoods. thank you. >> good afternoon. i'm with the bright line defense project. just a brief countries -- just a brief statement on the local

hiring laws. in regards to diversifying our housing stock, local hiring to be a powerful tool to maintain the middle-class and ensuring we can expand it as well in san francisco. specifically in regard to the treasure island and alan colley are wondering how developers will ample and local hiring law and we request an update from these developers from the 2000 annual construction jobs that will exist. thank you. supervisor mar: the director of island operations is here. if you want to say anything, we would love to hear you. thank you for being here. >> supervisors, i am here representing the neighbor and parks council for the open

space and urban resources related to the urban agriculture. we are excited both organizations about the open space element of this plan. in fact it would be rather hard not to be open space advocates when 65% of the site will be devoted to open space. in particular, we think both the scale and scope of the open space is very impressive because there are many types of open space, including neighborhood parks which are often not planned for in the rest of our state development. also all the way through to an urban farmer and 20 acres of urban agriculture. i am going to come back to that. we are very pleased that the phasing requires development of the open space and the parks as we go along, about waiting until the end. that's an important part of the pluses of this project for us. i mentioned the farm -- especially interested -- especially in relation to what

we see with emergencies coming up, we are an earthquake area and right now, food coming to most cities travels 1500-2,000 miles to get to allocation. having food production sites locally is really critical and just so that you don't think a 20 acre farm is superficial, today's production techniques related to urban agriculture mean a quarter of an acre can't beat 300 families. 1 acre, as 1200 families. we are over that 8000 new families and units on the site and have enough left over to produce for san francisco or regional residents. it's a significant piece of this open space plan and we hope you will consider that in supporting the project. supervisor mar: by understanding is athletic fields and

placements of that will require other stakeholders to decide. >> that is right. but there will be regional serving as well as local to and that's needed to make sure there can be more fields. supervisor mar: can you repeat that acreage? >> one-quarter of a maker using greenhouse production and other intensive means of production is able to feed 300 families. that's -- 1 acre is 1200 families. strive for some level of self- sufficiency when we might expect an emergency seems like a good idea. >> good afternoon. i have had the privilege of serving as both a member and chairman of the treasure island yerba buena island citizens. i've only been at this for 12 years, but it has been a good 12

years and like others before me who have spoken about the excitement and actually getting as far as we have gotten, we are looking forward to all of the next phases of development. the time we have spent has given us the opportunity not only to look at a couple of plants, the first presented to us in 2003 and was at we presented in 2006 as a totally different plan, more ad commented to -- more acclimated to fighting the wind and elements of the island. we have also benefited from gains in sustainability. we have been able to look at things were critically and we have been able to add sustainable issues that were not available to us five, six, seven years ago. we are very happy we are now

seeing a bit of a light at the end of the tunnel and our process into the next phase of this. i urge you to enthusiastically endorse this when the time comes. thank you. supervisor wiener: i'm going to call a number of other names -- -- supervisor mar: i'm going to call a number of other names. [reading names] >> good afternoon, a supervisor. these are my students. if the other speakers would allow us, we will make a quick presentation and we are out of here. >> i'm a carpenter and job corps

program -- in job corps program. in the era have been their colleagues had a lot of fun in the garden we may on treasure island. i'm looking for to the jobs and housing they have coming in the future. >> i just wanted to say from my personal experience, i've only been on treasure island for about a year and three months, i am also in the carpentry, construction trade in job corps. i am really looking forward to be there and try to support this change which is a good thing. >> this development that is going to happen hopefully call

hopefully it works out right because i want my fellow students in the future to see the new development that happened on the island. there is so much land that is open around island that it could be possible for it to happen. hopefully in a long run, it happens. thank you. supervisor mar: how many people go to the program each year? >> 6. >> i'm a carpentry instructor employed by the united brotherhood constructors. dryland is now the no. 1 center in that nation -- treasure island is now the no. 1 center in the nation. we have been doing a lot of work, we worked for the villages. we have done some work for the coast guard. these young men are familiar with project and our hope is we can get them on the projects and they can work with the

contractors and become employed by the contractors and purchase some of the homes. the department of labor has recently given as $180,000 for a sustainable garden. you are all welcome to come and see it. it is 70% finished already. to have the grocery store there would be wonderful. we can have fresh produce delivered to the grocery store that is grown on treasure island. >> i'm representing the san francisco planning and urban research association. we have been on board with this project really since the beginning. one of the things we pushed hard on was to have the best units there to make all of this work. -- to have enough units there to make all this work. the original plan had much fewer units which would not have

sustained the commercial development, the ferry or anything else we now have. we think it is a wonderful project and we support it strongly. thank you. >> good afternoon, supervisors. i'm from the san francisco chamber of commerce. i'm obviously here to support this. i've been involved with this since the jordan administration. not today myself, but 17 years ago when we talked about this property first becoming available. san francisco's population is now a record, 805,000. with the exception of treasure island, we are the only city or county in the state, certainly the only city, that has not has -- has not had its boundaries expanded. san jose must be three times the size of was 50 or 60 years ago geographically. this is the only part of san francisco that has been added
