appropriate amount even if parking. this comments the area. so thank you for your time. i'd like to introduce my colleague >> colleagues any other questions before we switch speakers in. seeing none none >> workforce development i want to take a few minutes to talk about the partnership with between our office and the port as to the 3 developments along the waterfront. this project as well as pier 70. i've been pleased patio be part of the partnership. certainly working with the giants who have helped the
11:31 pm
community. we're able to expand the lense of this development. to talk about the projects more broadly. obviously a development of this scope is definitely going to have impacts and obviously as any project litigation we're going to talk about how to mitigate those impacts. we're trying to move forward citywide significance. this includes targeting investments that will help the city meet fits growth demands. we need to do more to house people and we're looking to do inclusiony housing. more boardly we're trying to
11:32 pm
address city and regional wide issues. this takes vanilla of the port you owned land and it's kind of pa blank slated project now but we can use other board projects see of the city in this neighborhood to set the size for policy dialog that will form the next coming decades. so quickly round u run through those dialogues i'll be happy to go more into details. the urban slides this is more sort of as a reaction to trying to enhance that's been built around it in mission bay.
11:33 pm
we're keeping parking at the edge so people can walk around. there is a 24/7 neighbors is an important part of this process. on the pier 33 assessment and the piers assessment is a great step forward to the city. it allows us to do a lot of those deals in this instance we're able to get itself analysis ahead of time to address the issues that are brought on ahead of time and hopefully craft agreement for transit investments coming
11:34 pm
online for example, this will be connecting the subway and the different patterns market place and across the channel. that's still ongoing has created a lot of excited conversation. so the sustainability we have a unique opportunity to look at district wide strategies so things like that water infrastructure and storm water all of those things are a great opportunity and we have a great pattern to help us. speaking of infrastructure we have the delivery of infrastructure it's a walking subject but we've been able to learn a lot about different ways
11:35 pm
to deliver the publicly that he owned streets. and we're looking to use a financing tools and also the coordination of infrastructure schedules to really do that in an efficient way because every dollar we save is a dollar we can use through the city and the tax increment that doesn't have to be spent he on that bringing the land up to a useable condition. since then the port has done a lot of work to help it's that maintenance needs but this park needs a lot of maintenance. working with the state they were able to pass s b-318 to allow
11:36 pm
certain restrictions on this site to be removed in order to under those the site so long as those dollars were put back into maintenance. so again every dollar we're able to realize this port goes to a wider use. so this bill really helped us to improve conditions. we know this is a water level front and our partners at mission rock have done a good job of looking at the water rise and this will be able to maintain this and adapt to rising sea levels.
11:37 pm
but i think this is one thing we can see happening longer than our waterfront that is currently protected by the seawall. but through the port districts that the board approved recently the project revenue could be used to help us with the challenges of the water rising. this is sort of sektd a policy pilot by bringing those concepts into this framing will he will with the framing. so with that i'd like to wrap up our presentation to talk about
11:38 pm
the other steps coming. the termination of declaration feasibility if we were able to achieve that we would move on to the entitlement process and mrs. the planning of their work on the actual land use and entitlements. we would work with the state agencies to address the other plans that incorporate this area and the 15 requirements to make sure the development can move forward and in addition during that time of the entitlements period reasoning with the o e w d and the port commissions we'll negotiate a master lease and the documents that are going to move this though. we have the master leases and
11:39 pm
that's the overall summary. >> one quick question i know we'll underwear the budget analyst and talking about the 90 day acquisition. >> and thank you supervisor we have had a dialog with the budget analyst as well. part of the deal a predicated on the developer and those will be paid back through the proceeds of the developer return on the cost the sooner we can pay that off that saves money. i think the budget analysts point is we should do that early on and we can limit that return.
11:40 pm
we fully agree with the intent there we think the timeline should be as quickly as possible. i think we're in agreement with the budget analyst we not to reflect that to make sure that's done as quickly as possible >> any other questions at this point? that were i just want to thank mr. williamson and the other gentleman and it's great to have a representative from the giants here. it seems like there's not many residents around the project but where will there be discussions about the taller projects and the height and the transportation when will that be
11:41 pm
discussed? >> thank you. those discussions are literally ongoing today as i showed in that early slide. but from the beginning by public comment from the prer f b phase. so we tried to echo that in our thinking. by as i mentioned we city hall still keep the dialog going. we know we need to be and want to be kind of unique to create this neighborhood we're trying to a create it will look different than mission bay. exactly how that looks we don't go know yet. by to answer oyour question thi
11:42 pm
summer for sure >> it looks like puss he lives of manic to make it finally feasible but there's some surveilling down toward the waterfront area. i know the last one has the best view along the open space and parks but i'm i hoping the neighborhood and others have some entity into the massing and the scaling down of design >> exactly and a few sections on your comments. what you see in that last slide some of the design principles you you can see the height actually, the heights on this side is good.
11:43 pm
you preserve sunlight here. so things like that have informed the design as well. >> okay. thanks. at this point we'll go to mr. rose to our budget analyst report but if we can address the whole 90 day report. going to page 33 of our report the mission bay project is fiscally feasible. hover we point out there is the financing for the parking structure currently represents $6 million plus. we recommend that you amended
11:44 pm
the proposed resolution to amend the 3 recommendation in the transition documents the d da and report back to the board on those recommendations at the time that the board of supervisors hearing on this documents. now the first recommendation mr. chairman is on page thai that the seawall rock and the port should establish fair market value and they should accept the entitlement based on that fair market value would any of the words that states within 90 days of the effect date in order to minimize the subject 20 percent return on equity.
11:45 pm
in that term mr. jack bear has requested a wording change to that remedies and that wording change after the words effect date to add or as quickly as possible in order to minimize the amount. we believe that that requested wording change is reasonable and we're relating that to be included 40 in your report >> the section remedies is myths rock final transaction should express that the seawall lot associates investment entitlement and horizontal costs and then the port the third remedies the port should explore
11:46 pm
rather than have the entitlement and infrastructure costs i should say fund all of the entitlement and horizontal infrastructure costs. finally, we recommend that i all the time the proposal that the port to report back to the board of supervisors on the finding shudders for the parking industry as soon as the lot has been final listed and we recommend the resolution and would be happy to respond to any questions >> thanks for that clarification. colleagues any questions for mr. rose? i see at least jack bear from the giant thank you for being
