water front and 5 hundred car parking endanger right in our by the way, were we urge you to consider the public impact and ask i join us in the following. the city should issue a new notice of preparation and the city should hold a scoping session within 45 days. it is clear in the presentation that the pier thirty and 32 has changed in any significant ways and those changes are nwithout consequence. so we ask you to please consider our recommendations.

the bay area for thirty years. my partner and i bruce purchased a condo because it's located a block and a half from the new stadium. we - i started going to worrying games in 1962 and i'll tell you i can't wait to be able to walk over there and i hope it keeps me going another thirty years. we decided to move to san francisco in 2011. we knew with didn't want to live in a residential area we wanted to live in a neighborhood that was vibrant and had business and

shops. residential a real mix. good transportation, public transportation a walking distance to downtown so we looked south beach and then the warriors announced the new arena and went counsel to the - now i understand this was a land use planning commission and entertainment and i want like to say i think this is tremendous land use planning. it has components that will draw so many people lift the city up and put us on the map. the wish from our area we could see the stadium

>> thank you, mr. graham. yeah, and just for the members of the public you have two minutes by you, finish your sentence. thank you for being here mr. graham >> good afternoon. i'm a resident of the south beach area for 12 years. and i'm president of the south batch business association. i'm a very excited been the warriors coming to the water front. personally and building the new arena will create jobs and provided revenue for the city. but one of the problems that we do have the business community

in the area we've only had - the business from the for 6 months of the year so businesses suffered for 6 months of the year. this will bring many new and very needed businesses for our community and help the exit businesses grow. so that's an important aspect. we're continuing to work with peter albert and mta who's coming out to our association and discussing the parking for our area. we were e we believe the warriors are providing tint for the business community as well and a good afternoon >> good afternoon and i'm here

for the warriors on the waterfront that were i think this is one of the most exciting projects since 1989 when the governor suggested a wall on the waterfront. it was no more than a wall on the waterfront but this is a tremendous opportunity for the city we've been looking for for decades. like it or not there are a few sites available to build this arena. and this site at pier thirty, 32. is it will be a public amenity for residents in the simply

beach area to have that much open space to have the ability to open up that pier that's never been opened up to the public so restore a major masterminded asset for birthing & it would otherwise fall into the by the way. you only have to go to boston, los angeles, chicago know brooklyn, washington, d.c. and soon downtown sacramento and you'll see the benefits of an arena that adds to employment and activity in those communities. thank you very much. >> good afternoon supervisors. i'm gena.

i'm glad you brought up questions like transportation and your bringing it to the neighborhoods. you're making s it real. i mean, my husband and i have some season tickets to the giants and the 49ers and he struggles to get to the games. so i like seeing the transportation thing talked about. i'm in full support of this being called the cultural center. i think what it will do for san francisco with jobs i have a son in the hotel industry i mean - i hear every sportscaster see that at&t park - i keep forgetting what park it is - is a jewel in

the crown. i look at this as the opera house. it's a designation gives jobs and please i love peter albert's analysis of the american cup and i incidentally believe ahead of time bring the warriors on and bring culture and concerts. i think it's a really good thing. thank you >> good afternoon supervisors myron lee. born and raised san franciscan and lifetime resident. this is pretty sure i've dreamed my entire life but, you know, i've had worrying season tickets but i live on the west side so

it's been pretty - yes. i have. i went to an east side game is it took me an hour and a half to get back. we have an opportunity to put a world-class arena brown where we can go to events right in the heart of the city and i know with the 49ers kicking off there's a great opportunity to take something on the pier like there's nothing there right now and make it a world-class venue. so, yeah i'm a thousand percent behind this project just wanted to showing you show you my support. thank you >> good afternoon supervisors tom president of local 98

speaking on behalf of the firefighters. this project is among one of our highest priorities. the warriors are proposing to build a world-class project and it will generate hundreds of thousands of dollars. this new arena will impact the folks at the wart edge this is currently urban - under utilizesed. with have a pier that is starting to crumble and it will be probably down in three or

four years. it will create over 5 thousand construction jobs that will generate revenues for the city of san francisco. those folks have been engaged with all the vital businesses in san francisco and we urge you to move forward on this >> thank you very much. >> thank you john with the san francisco traffic association. i've been saying that the san francisco couldn't be more incriminated but now we've seen this we're even more incriminated. we see that will create more traffic opportunity.

we know that the traffic continues to be vital to the san francisco prosperity and in 2012 tourists spent $5 million and contributed $600 million to the sfolg san francisco. the largest gap we have here in san francisco are the thinking door facilities are not there. we need a indoor space that can seat 16 thousand more if we build it they will come. and 4 had percent said they would definitely use it for things as general concessions

performances and concerts. we know it creates opportunity for public access to water front and assesses safety for the public and to explore bicycle and pedestrian enhancement. >> good afternoon i've janet. i live in the mission and i constituent regularly through that area so i'm sensitive to the transportation issues i take the 10, the till, the tea line, i go out on others areas. i would do anything to work on uncomfortable muni. i don't drive i never have. i want to focus on the design. i'm happy to see the design that

balances water front use with maritime uses. also with the hotel and residential. and the city despite needs development it is sensible but improves our tax base. soon, we'll get to an $8 billion budget. we have an under utilized water front. we have had temporary uses these in the water front. they appeal to both local folks and those out of town.

i will say i'm a member of the wooerz warriors on the water front. i found that one of the most interesting aspects of the plan considering how hard we're working building entrepreneurial opportunities. so the retail space the mode last year space is really important >> thank you before we have our last speaker on the set, i'm going to call 10 more cards. (calling names)

>> in 1962 the warriors moved from philadelphia out here from the east coast to here. they placed this place in detail city called the cow palace are they moved across the by the way, to oakland and it was better but this could sewer pass that. this ca could be an fantastic upward movement but you have to consider the transportation as well but it would be a big step up >> good afternoon manager partner of gross house i'm also the president of the golden gate

restaurants association. i have a investor there are i will say that i do have any challenges given the location with what happens in the neighborhood and i appreciate you're looking after those challenges. i will say to the economical impact of a world-class arena on san francisco the city as the restaurants industry that would be a wonderful addition something we all welcome and look forward to it. it would be something that the city needs and something that the restaurants community is really looking forward to. thank you >> good afternoon. i'm charring lynley i'm representing local 3 the engineers.

we represent about 20 thousand operating engineers in northern california. the work of heavy equipment and inspectors. we're an affiliate of the council and with the construct unions we provided thousands of jobs. those wages help maintain the have i beency that we love in san francisco. the warriors have been pro-active in seek to hire veterans through the hard hats program. and this is really an exciting project for the city. as a construction worker we've seen so many infrastructure projects that we needed and finally, we're going to get a

project that will provide an opportunity for entertainment and relax at the end of the hard day. this will also renovate a pier that would continue to decay. we urge the committee to support this project >> good afternoon supervisors i want to thank you for giving me this opportunity to speak you. i'm with the labors local 61. i'm here to speak on behalf of the 42 though members we have. we are here to support our returning veterans. the warriors are open to meet everyone. the proposed arena will have

people will say it's from sidney as australia. that's what i see. i have a friend investing from australia and i took him and his wife to the pier 39 i would have loved to take them to the area around the arena. i can say we're going to be looking this in the future and we're going to be saying this is san francisco what a give me of a city. thank you >> good afternoon supervisors. we talk about this great arena and it's a we have thing the city during this trial needs but

how much open space this gives to the city. and i always worked on trying to find open space that don't have the open space component and this gives the open space to a area. i hope you all get this going through. thank you have a great day >> good afternoon. i'm really excited about this project. we support it because of the local hiring the landmark local higher - the landmark local commitment made with the local higher to billed the arena and just to operate it. thank you >> thank you before our next

process is moll way too quicken and the real issue is what do you want the legacy to be for this project. this is not the right area. i've harder people say this isn't a residential area it is a residential area. there have been 4 deaths here. in real terms you're talking about thousands of extra car trips and those of you who live or work in that area that area if it has any problems in transportation it's a heartache.

i hope you guys slow down and not basically build another freeway. thanks >> good afternoon. i'm rescinding i didn't gordon i'm an independent market analyst. i work in a basketball tournament called basketball hoops. basically, i see basketball that bridge the gap through play. i appreciate the process that you guys are adhering to and i want to say in 1993 i worked on an impact study and we were able

francisco. i believe that all folks would love to have is a privately funded arena in their city. >> supervisors manny of the carpenters union. i want to thank you you for the presentation. you know, we still have a long ways to go but it's a smart development but like i said it's got a ways to go but it's doable. but supervisor wiener brought out a good point and it's about the traffic and the public transportation. very important. i hate to compare this to other projects but back in the at&t campaign
