7:15 pm
proposals only just for the public's benefit. lot 337 and pier 48 in the port's exclusive negotiating agreement with sea wall lot sociabilities affiliated with the san francisco giant, this slide shows is that the area that we are conceiving of the certainty lot a in mission bay was previously a from the period between 1905 and fine 26 it started to be used for what he will use and that is one of the things that drove the filming along the san francisco water front. this is the film today and you will see it in yellow and it really stands out as one of the areas that needs attention in mission bay. as the as you heard so eloquently
7:16 pm
from david port staff isel contempt plating the develop of this park and the earn part of eastern part of city was cut off from bay access and so this is one of the a pennities that we strive to provide and so this development is contemporary plating 3.5 million square feet of mixed use development and unto a thousand unit of residential and up to one .7 million square feet of commercial office space with ground floor retail and approximately 2800 to 3,000 parking spaces with over 8pm acres of parking space and the proposed plan to to be flexible
7:17 pm
and this is a phase development that will happen as early as 20 scene, 207 in the initial phase and it's hard to tell now what the right mix of office vs. residential is so the zone something proposed to be flexible to respond to different market conditions. this china basin park proposals is one of the reasons why the giants the sea well lot 337 llc., proposal is receiving such positive tension it's because of the attention they have given to the design of this water front open space. it would be 5-acres the costs are high. we are looking at entirely newue tillity infrastructure new streets, sidewalks sidewalks and park locate and is improvements to pier 48 currently estimates at over $2 million in current
7:18 pm
$2,012 and this infrastructure is really needed to unlock the value of this site for the port and for development. very significant this would be an entirely new city neighborhood with significant economic development for the city as a whole and 5,000 construction jobs and over 7,000 permanent jobs on the site and 10,000 jobs regionally with up to 2,000 new residents so erail mentioned the fiscal analysis that we would do through fiscal feasiblable report to the board of supervisors prior to environmental review and the draft fiscal feasiblability for this probability indicates a 9 million-dollar tax benefit to the city after the cost of the city services and this is after netting out the property tax
7:19 pm
increment that we would capture through the i f b and so this is really coming from gross receipts tax and sales tax and other tacks that would continue to flow to the general fund. and elane mentioned the idea of excess tax increments and after the project needs are paid there is up to one $.6 billion paid in excess taxes generated from this site. pier 70 is a bit more complicated in that it's divided into a number of districts and a master plan starting in 2,007 and the commission chose to let out pourings of this site in sort-of a segmented manner and the water personal property site is the site under contract for a city development or in development is managing the rehabilitation of the historic buildings along 20th street, we
7:20 pm
have our ship repair under least and you have heard david talk about cran copark. four city's this the process of doing due diligence for the property right now and they are concerned that it's sea level rise and the city's team will be consulting with the chief hash engine here about raising the grade of this site so it's not subject to innonedation in the future. very interesting engineering constraints at pier 70 there were slip ways built by the federal government to facility ship repairs and it's difficult to buildbled on those and that is blue line that you see here and that is demarks the only shore line and everything bay ward from that line requires pile support and there is a risk
7:21 pm
of lateral spread and major earthquake and to there is a need to reinforce the shore line so it doesn't slough off in the bay and an earthquake. and these are the water lines that are out of the known water lines that are out of the site and for city proposes to install entirely new water infrastructure at the site and the same goes for waist water form water facilities and all of it needs to be relace and had they are looking at one $56 million of at the moment infrastructure cost and is potentially an additional $90 million for historic rehabilitation costs at the site and so finally, the warriors project in piers 30 and 32 and
7:22 pm
a lot of it -- in the public eye and the site is currently-15 -acre and the pier is near it is end of life and we have some road restriction on the site and limiting use and if we were just to contemporary plate we moving this, it would cost $45 million. and the warriors have hired a team of a commons who have gone to produce conceptual design for this site and they are looking at multipurpose venues for basket ball games, public concerts, convention use, with 60% of the site dedicate to open space and a combination of retail uses and practice courts and parking covering the rest of the site and this is the concept
7:23 pm
of what it would look like and this is being published in the paper and so the major a major terms is that the ports would finances these improvements and they would look up to 120 million here with a 13% of capital and the city would repay that private investment and publicly owned pier through rim credit and the price of c o l lot 33 and that is an increment from an i f d and those would be the soles and again, almost a billion dollar on it's own and generates more than 2500 construction jobs and 1700 jobs with great fiscal board of trustees to the city of posh 19.4 million in total tax receipts.
7:24 pm
so that conclude the presentation as we are scheduled go back to the committee to seek a vote on this policy later in december, the plan if the commission has no other changes that we should contemporary plate and incorporate in the policy would be to then bring the policy to the board of supervisors for a vote by the board and we think at the staff level it's very important for the capital planning committee and the board of supervisors to establish this before the individual projects propose the i f d and so that concludes our presentation any questions we are available to answer them. >> is there any public comment on this item? seeing none ... thank you for all of the work that has gone into this and for explaining what one of the very difficult
