10:34 am
companies and how it's going to impact the smaller ones >> when we brought forgot this amendment we tried to a reach anti to all the bicycle rental companies. one of my staff is on pregnancy leave but i'll certainly research that. but what we have found around the city that this type of industry the bicycle rental companies are located in the neighborhoods that's why there's an established bicycle routes that tourist are familiar with. so as we add for bicycle rental locations and as we make did
10:35 am
tour books we'll tell you see that all the businesses will improve. currently all the bicycle tape recordings i trips go over the golden gate bridge. people have lunch in sal shred and also using this sort of ad hoc bicycle network we have within our park system to invest visit neighbors in the guide books. but was we can build an awe that ment we'll see we think improve the sales of those local bicycle rental companies >> i don't know about america cycling on canyon but i know
10:36 am
that the bicycle rental and skate they're my be neighborhoods on 6th and fulton but it's a different kind of business and i hope we don't negatively impact them. we want to enhance their businesses on the edge of the park but i'm still supportive of the lace for the 5 years and thanks very much >> so we have a number of amendments by our budget analyst a motion to approve? a motion to approve the as amended legislation? so moved. mr. clerk call item number 4. the resolution to approve the
10:37 am
amount of $506,000 to cover the san francisco initiative >> do you want to talk about this item or defer it? we'll defer it. this is emily with the department of public health. our understanding is this is an exceeded expense we've haven't received the award yet but we would like to present to you this resolution knowing we might have to come back so we'll defer to you >> sorry maybe you, explain that a little bit more. >> sure in concert with several partners applied for the california program. as you may know in health reform
10:38 am
california is going to establish a health and insurance marketplace that means grant fund will louse allow us to help the uninsured population so they'll be enreportedly? 2014. we were under the impression we were to be accepting an ward and begin the conceptual needs we applied for another expense. so as such we still don't have information to whether we will receive the grant.
10:39 am
>> yeah. our controlers office? >> good morning, mr. chairman monique. the committee is free to consider and approve this request and should the grant not be awarded to the health department no services would be delivered if the grant is accepted as a lessor amount it can be reduced. if it's a greater amount then the resolution would have to be approved upward and have to come back to the committee. i think the committee should act on this today for if you don't act on it today, the services will be delayed. >> and our apologizes we can
10:40 am
tell you we will not receive more than 5 hundred and 68 thousand. >> okay. so the city attorney know what she's approving now? i notice that you can approve it and forward it to the board >> i'm okay doing it. we were told you have intention to continue this item is 5 had the and 68 the maximum? >> i think your department one way or another would have to have a better coordination i didn't know you were here today. >> if the legislation would have to be amended on page 1911 it refers to american people
10:41 am
agreement we don't have. arrest an agreement we don't have. >> mr. clerk is that something that be approved and we wouldn't have to come back or would we have to come back? >> mr. city attorney if we need to deter this can we have time. >> yes. the economy can decide to continue the item as the clerk mentioned. if you want to pass to out today you would have the file on file.
10:42 am
and when it's at the board a - two weeks from now you would reference the agreement on file or being submitted by the department. >> just my preference is we have it here. we've harder the items. we can actually amend out and delay two weeks? >> that's fine. all right. colleagues any other questions? we'll move to public comment? any public comment? seeing none public comment is closed. i agree we want to get this thing done. so the clerks recommendations
10:43 am
can we have a motion to do that. we'll move this item forward to the full board. and we'll can't agree upon this until there's a grant? >> i don't think that's necessary. we can recommend that the board approve it. >> so we have a recommendation to move this forward. >> i want to be sure are we deferring this until next week? this will be recommend to may 14th? >> correct. >> item 5 the developed of seawall lot and pierre 48 third street mission rock street and
10:44 am
san francisco bay and just a few minutes to the park feasible under the code 39 between the seal wall lot and the port of commission. >> okay thank you, very much. we have a gentleman from the port of san francisco. >> good morning with the port of san francisco. i'm pleas probation officer to be before you today to present the report and seek your approval of that. before i get started i want to quickly introduce our team to you. most of them - many of them are here today from the prosperity. jonathan and brad and binding and joanne and jamie.
10:45 am
and others. today, we have jack and fran and their team includes council and others. so with that as you can see on the slide this is a project that is a collaboration, if you will, between the port and the developer. one of the several projects that has assumed the structure and the significance of the impact of the port and the city. and to stress the planning for this site there was - it goes quite a ways back.
10:46 am
that was approved in 1997 that identified parts of the waterfront and it helped us to place revenues in places we need to invest in the port. and then looking at the lot 337 it shows the debts of the planning into this project. way before we selected this developer there was an expensive extensive process to listen to the folks and come up with an existing site that would meet multiple goals of port revenues and community benefits. as you'll see thought the presentation i believe we've achieved those goals.
10:47 am
so looking at the project as a whole and we'll dive down deeper. it's a 3 point 6 thousand square feet. and we have a fair amount of retail on the ground floor. the mixed use reflects what we believe is the best way to generate revenue and to - doing so we build out to the program 65 hundred jobs on site and as well as others off-site. the site also include 8 acres of parks and it restores the shared
10:48 am
lot. the project infrastructure will be phased and i'll get into that in a minute but the aging infrastructure to deliver in a timely fashion to minimize the costs. obviously as mentioned the port revenues are an important part of the project and we believe we've addressed the capital needs going forward. and we have done so with the developer and recognize the nature of this project. here i see on overview on the north side of the project china basin park and the open space parcel for the neighborhood
10:49 am
square. in more detail land use summary of how the mixed place could play out we're pursuing a marketable construction. but we want to make clear that mixed use is a key goal and that supports the public benefits from the project so we do have minimums we want to achieve in each of those areas the commercial skweerj and the residential units on this site and also retail. and a little bit of our schedule again as mentioned a few moments
10:50 am
ago. we've sportsdz the staff and we started with this specific project in 2007. and today, we're just about done with the term sheet phase of the exclusive nature of the developing partner. this has been an experience when you've reviewed the feasibility report we hope you'll agree. and now the entitlements including the environmental process we anticipate 18 months to two years. and bringing us to the bottom. we have agreement in place in 2015 we can time the infrastructure construction to coincide with the phase so the
10:51 am
infrastructure span you'll see the infrastructure span is to be out there for a short of time as possible to limit the revenues. then you'll see the build out occurring in this two 21 and 20022 to be complete. the mix we're pressuring here we need an urban location it's a prime waterfront location. but we've looked at the best ways to fulfill our needs. we started with what we have today and looked at the adjacent neighborhood and said can we fit this program onto the site. you see the big blocks and the
10:52 am
rectangular blocks and the mission by a is under 6 hundred feet. and going forward looking at the public benefits we want to accomplish as well. we said what can we do adding this park on the north side. we see that program is pushing up on the project and adding the neighborhood square to create a mixed use that fulfills all the goals we've outlined and the developers prospective. we get a project that looks like this. still in discussion additional still involving. we're working diligently with the community to listen to their needs and see how we can further
10:53 am
evolve this. >> and the project obviously would generate a significant number of jobs. we believe that the contradiction period would generate over 10 thousand jobs and as mentioned permanent jobs would total 11 thousand 1 hundred. we're proud to be working with local labor to come to some agreement on higher goals that's shown here. we believe that the project labor agreement to govern construction is a wise a choice and we're pursuing those >> thank you it's go to see the goal of 25 percent. i know this is not totally about the project but 25 percent what the goal last year.
10:54 am
and the local goal was thirty percent and wondering if that's set in stone that 25 percent figure? we have just concluded some discussions on this this week and the 25 percent goal represents those discussions. it's notes set in stone but it's a goal we believe we can achieve. it recognize that some of the trades may not be able to meet that goal but there are some things that are hard to fill with local higher. but also recognize that some of those trades will need to work with labor and i'd like to think there could be more of a push on local higher.
10:55 am
i'm curious to see how many trades are hard to find for the port. i know perhaps on the piers they're doing that work but i'd like to think we could do better than that and given that we're showing the city. i think this could be better than what it is. we'll definitely carry the discussion. >> the project labor agreement as we kind of pursue the development agreement. >> and just the discussion around the site what's the affordability for housing. we've got housing mixed in terms
10:56 am
of affordability on the site? i can speak to that moving onto job we're looking at rentals on this site and therefore it's best suited for rental projects but we're open to other ways to achieve the mix >> i actually appreciate looking at building mixed sections. >> the team is very incriminated to the on site project. we want to represent that - we want to deliver is incremently along the way >> and a a little bit of a
10:57 am
drill down. as you know there's a water assessment underway to look at the city's waterfront and the transportation needs coming our way we're trying to get prepared for that. we're trying to answer the transportation needs. we recognize from the community that transportation is a key certain not just recognizing the needs but planning for the assets as well. so we're working closely with mta and the community having some interesting solutions to bring forward and obviously we adhere to the city's - open to exploring a hoop to the
10:58 am
transportation to the north side of the creek. i want to mention we're focusing heavily on bicycles and pedestrian friendly very open to bikes. this is the northern section or the beginning going south of blue gateway site to that amenity. we're trying to minimize cars traffic. i can show you that graphically but we're going to phone call on the garage portion. as you heard this is a type 1 district it's a blank slate no infrastructure has been developed here we have the
10:59 am
opportunity to build it up. and in addition to the project adding a light industrial use added the wastewater disposal possibility >> when you talk about industrial uses what is the use of pier 38? >> pier 48 is in the interim phase it has not been used for freight there are two primary sheds the one is for over flow parking and for special events. the southern shed is currently used by the department of elections for the port just for election equipment voting and
11:00 am
things like that. thanks for your question. we will take the entirety of the site and conspired it to industrial use. >> and the slide is for benefits. i know that just to highlight some of the key items. this project generates ongoing revenues to the city and the port a significant development impact fees and jobs and open space focus on pedestrian bicycle paths and also human access to the waterfront. and there you see the numbers. we'd be glad to go into more
