8:30 am
standards of excellence and services. in the same ways as before, cpm c will be object -- obligated within five years to offer the site for the city for the purpose of constructing such facility. like saint luke's the provision of baseline for the poor and under served. we think also a better way oh for defining this obligation. instead of using a certain amount and leading to financial performance we have negotiated a set number of patience which cpm c must care for every year. this has defined a number of patients
8:31 am
cared for in the last three years and approximately 30,000 patients a year. cpm c is prepared to provide services and does not depend on any external circumstances. you will remember that in the last agreement cpm c was responsible for being the hospital partner for a number of new medi-cal beneficiaries. cpm c will provide medical services for people outpatient. it will be beneficiaries for 10 years at least which may come to provide
8:32 am
services. like in the last agreement there is a foundation. cpm c will fund this with $9 million approximately. it's already been identified and although there will be additional funds available as well. in the health service system, the agreement includes protecting the city's health service system from increases by capping rates for ten years and limits premium increases for 5 persianly -- percent -- annually after that. moving off to health care items onto to affordable housing. the clear sheet includes 2
8:33 am
affordable housing payments. to compensate for 25 units that will be displaced. this is for the planning and codes. this will be paid at the time c p pulls the permit for demolition. and the mayor's office of housing affordable housing fund. the van ness special use district which causes housing to be a large part of projects being used. agreement includes 30 percent local higher for construction jobs, including 50 percent local higher for new apprentice position and entry level permanent jobs for ten years. that change is hard to notice here. i will note that in the last agreement, this is 45 jobs. this is now 40 percent of
8:34 am
new entry level jobs for 10 years and $4 million for cpm c, the other work force provisions remain in the same as the previous agreement. on transportation we have three pot of funds which will depot to the use in improving transportation. this is in lieu of a fee instead of tidf, funding for brt facility and parking surcharge to be imposed in the cathedral hill garages. in addition there are new provisions in this term sheet regarding on going monitoring around all of c p mr. in short, cpm c is obligated to work with the city to monitor
8:35 am
conditions to the campuses and over all congestion at cathedral hill. if these are found substandard, cpm c will address the conditions. and i will note that one of the measures here we are measuring against is a campus wide reduction goal of reduced single occupancy of 15 percent. lastly, cpm c will use a variety of outreach means at their disposal to encourage their employees to purchase a clipper card and will subsidize half of the cost of the card. in addition this cpm c le restrict access to the parking garage. the access will be restrict to only cpm c employees and not others. moving on to street escape and pedestrian safety. cpm c will
8:36 am
pay the city for pedestrian walkway. $200,000 to fund a safe passage program and $1.5 million for transit and joining the cathedral hill campus. in addition cpm c will pay $3 million to the city for increased enforcement and traffic safety improvement for the campus. the pacific campus will become an outpatient campus after the new hospital is built and california campus maybe taken out of service or may not be. continuing with saint luke's and day via. it's a specified program of i am improvements. instead of money,
8:37 am
it's improvements. those list of valued and 3.million for saint luke's. it's the project, not the actual cash. looking at the payment schedule for the funds as you see up on your slide, the agreement also contains a payment schedule for the cash payments as noted on the slide about $7 million is payable as soon as the project is approved by the board and signed by the mayor. the remainder of the payments come over a period of 5 years. once the approvals are finally granted which means that any litigation that might occur is settled or dismissed or the period for filing passes or at such a time that cpm c begins construction at cathedral hill. as soon as they get through that litigation period or begin construction at cathedral hill
8:38 am
then the $14 million segment comes in. the improvement at saint luke's and daveey and any funds that are payable due to traffic that show too high an amount of congestion that would be at the time of doing those studies. so, the process going forward if the commission approves today we'll go to the commission to come back to this commission on may 23rd for approval of the large packet of the development agreement and the other various things. that
8:39 am
concludes my presentation. >> the action before the commission today is to initiate the general plan amendment of the revised project. you are not being asked today to take action on this. the amendment plans requirement as follows: the map 4 of urban maximum development. the height map is 88 feet for saint luke's campus. this is a proposed maximum height of 145 feet for the portion of the sight where the the hospital tour is located. the second is map 5 of
8:40 am
the urban design development. currently both allowed in the accordance with this map by 125 feet for the campus. this would be amended to 229 feet by 285 for the hospital and at the cathedral hill campus there are four general plan amendments. the first is the van ness area plan. the van ness area plan objectives and policy for a high density area. second is map 1 of the van ness area plan. the project would amend this map to designate the site for new medical office building for the van ness medical use. from 7.1 to 7.5 to 1. currently
8:41 am
the project area is 30 v. the project would amend this map to include a terminance with the hospital side. lastly about five of the urban design elements. this map are 110 to 140 feet and m v sight. this is 385 feet for the hospital site and 265 feet for the medical office building site. so the commission can hold a future hearing to consider action on these items. the department recommendation that you adopt the resolution and instruct the planning department to provide notice for a hearing to continue these items on may 23rd. that concludes our presentation an
8:42 am
we are both available for questions. >> okay. opening up to public comment. steve nak go, sash a hong and derek. >> thank you. good afternoon. my name is steve nak go, director of cofounder of the senior center of japan town. we call it western addition fillmore. i'm here as the executive director of a non-profit community based located in japan town. i'm voicing my support of the california pacific medical center plan. i would like to highlight a point. we have a long history of working closely
8:43 am
with providing case management services. patients returning home have received home meal deliver y. we deliver 180 meals a day. formerly we have worked with the transition care specialist are assigned to work with cpm c discharge managers to help patients transition to home. kimchi is 42 years old. we are celebrating our anniversary. cpm c is an important part of our community supporting the health needs of our seniors and families. i
8:44 am
hope you will support efforts in advance for a serves -- service that is much needed. today i'm speaking at the director of kim che senior center. >> hello, i'm marlene morgan with health care jobs for justice. i was reflecting that the first time i spoke about this issue. we were being presented with 331, 620 bed hospital at the cathedral campus and eventually the closure of saint luke's hospital. all the care services in san francisco were going to
8:45 am
be concentrate at cathedral hill and now it's an 8 year journey that we see the planning department environmentally alternative has been adopted by this project. we have a significantly smaller cathedral hill and environmentally cathedral hill campus and impact on the corridor and a sustainable campus in the mission district. so we are very pleased at this work and this outcome of this long negotiation and discussions. and the participation of the planning commission who has had to read all of these documents. thank you so much. one of the things that the coalition is interested in, we met with mr. rich on tuesday and hopefully with director ram soon sd idea
8:46 am
of mechanism for on going community input into enforcing the terms of this agreement. we can see that a lot of these things click off over the years in terms of monitoring an overview. we believe there needs to be a mechanism for community groups to continue to have input into the process. cathedral neighbors on the coalition have been transportation. you can see there is a lot of elements around transportation in the term sheet, parking, transit passes, surveys of employees, overloading fines, support of transit systems. we want to make sure there is a community mechanism to monitor over this term. this is a long term process. it's going to affect transportation on the van ness and poke street corridors for
8:47 am
many years. we would like to raise the issue that we are looking for a role in this. thank you. >> thank you. >> good afternoon, commissioners, i'm a law student from the economic development clinic unit. we have been providing council for the legal coalition for health and justice. i'm here to address how collateral agreements will strengthen the implement of the development agreement with cpm c. san francisco administrative code contemplates collateral agreements between government and coalitions. by the developer and/or other agencies and not limited to community coalitions to provide for and
8:48 am
implement social and economic environmental benefits or programs. the development agreement with c p mr. m c in preventing it's community base terms for collateral agreements. advocating for the community benefits in the agreement. not only the community directly benefited from this project, the coalition continues to be committed that these fought for are carried out. because they have been so involved in the process of contributing to the terms, they are the best for the city when moving forward in the implementation terms. the gains for the city have been substantial in the negotiating process. it will come in the implementation of it's terms. the goal of the coalition and it's involvement in collateral agreements is to provide
8:49 am
valuable assistance through the city throughout the development agreement. for example the community can have a role with compliance with local hire provision and to monitor the transportation issues as marlene just mentioned. san franciscans for health care justice provides a source of knowledge with the communities that will be most impacted with the cpm c project. collaboration with the city and the community as has been so well demonstrated. thank you. >> linda chapman. i will speak for knob hill neighbors because it was done for other members of our board and urban
8:50 am
planners. it's the most brilliant plan and i'm so sorry to see the ways in which it's being breached. heaven knows it's the alternative for greatly reducing the number of beds here. why is it still double the side of the height limit. why does that have to be? there was a land form and consistent and not overwhelming the historic buildings. why are we putting a tunnel under there when it objected long-term for a subway. are we going to build the tunnel deeper. if they didn't want to locate there they didn't have to do it. since they did do it, they can walk across the street like all
8:51 am
of us. the parking is good, but it's still too many. previously it was 405 spaces at that site plus the ones in the sutter street building which is part of that here. they need to reduce that more. david chiu the other night said it would allow to be reduced. in the c s f n, we used to say if you were building garages it was a good thing to build garages. if you build them, it will come. all of the traffic will increase, actually the garages in the van ness area are under parked. this is the same kind of thing that knob hill neighbors did years ago that we didn't need a lot of additional parking. if you put it there more people would be encouraged to drive there. there is a concern that i have, david chiu said they
8:52 am
were planning to fund c bd for lower polk area. that means you are funding bar owners as far as i can see. it was also checked by robert garcia when a cbd was proposed and rejected that it's a pass through for rental tents whatever fee they charge themselves. there are actual no resident members although they are bar oranges. it has no residents at all. they are the ones who have wrecked the area. at the hearings on the polk improvement, people from other districts said that area is dangerous. it's dirty. they are the ones who did that. >> next speaker.
8:53 am
>> good afternoon commissioners. my name is gordon. we are here to express our support for the new project that is being presented and will be going through the public process. we want to really acknowledge all the hard work and good work that went into the new project proposal by the mayor ken rich and other city staff and the board of supervisors and cpm c. our coalition has been working for the last three plus years to ensure cpm c is built in the right way and we are proud to have played no small role in the much improved term sheet. think other speakers noted that we are interested in committed
8:54 am
to continue to be part of the process to ensure that particularly the community benefits are really going to be delivered and realized in the communities here that need it in terms of the health care benefits, housing and work force and job benefits and the neighborhood and pedestrian and traffic and public transit i am improvements. we in terms of the work force issues, which i as a director of jobs of justice and part of the coalition have more focused on a real community voice in the implementation of the work force commitment both the local higher commitment and the $4 million that cpm c is committing to support work force development. there is a lot of projects that come before you and the board of
8:55 am
supervisors that come around you particularly in local higher. you remember fresh and easy, projects making promises of local hire in their store where the reality they have not met that at all. and there has been very little enforcement and monitoring and holding fresh and easy accountable just as an example. i think we want to be a resource for the city to ensure that work force commitment and particularly the local hire and the job training that is being provided is realized. thanks again, commissioners for your work on this. >> good afternoon, commissioners. jim lazere ritsdz. thank you for reaching
8:56 am
and historic agreement for reaching the health care facilities in san francisco. from day one the chamber has supported not only this project but other projects in san francisco. whether it's general hospital, chinese hospital, u c s f mission bay. for reasons, public health and safety, no. 1 but no. 2 the health care facility is key for our growth. medical education, medical research, clinics, hospitals and medical professionals comprise in dollar value the largest segment of the city's diverse economy. we always said the diversity is always our business. in total dollar value
