the south. the lower portion is a large open space with the a grand staircase leading up to the /srepbl ewe plaza. this is the first time you see a really exciting pub /hreublg amenity we're proposing of a ramp along the sod of the arena so you can go from the /srepbl ewe plaza, which is at the plus 35. you see that line cutting through the south /erpbl edge of the arena which gets you up to another /spaeuls that's at about the plus 90 foot arena so you get these spectacular views of the bay. this is a similar view, but of course it's night. just to show that we're obviously being /sepblgstive not only to safety and security, but also making sure that this is a fun usable space on a daily and nightly use basis. you see something in the hotel come /poe /tphept

component on the seawall lot 330. we have to /hr*upbg

reduce that conflict with bicycles. in terms of accessibility, that little white box -- the rectangle there just to the right of the stairs is an elevator. we're being very aware of accessibility issues as we're dealing with the elevation changes. this is a view along the northern edge. there's a little key so that's the very text of the little red v is where the person would be standing. that stairway leading up to the main venue plaza. there's some retail

with some exterior /spaeuls facing north towards the bridge. of course we have the lovely san francisco fire department and their fire boats being located in that center portion of the pier. we're also working with them to really give them visible /prepbls on the site so we're trying to work with them to figure out ways where you'd be able to see the fire truck when it's in their garage. looking east along that edge beyond a reasonable doubt the fire department and the boats, you'll see a vertical wall that we're working with. we're conscious of course for the needs of /sus stain /-blt and storm water management so that's a wall that we're working with in term of the filtration and storm water manage ment and greener areas

along that edge. we've introduced another stairway in this location in that northeast earn corner. we've reduced the number of team support facilities so we've provided a lot more open space on this northeast earn edge /-fp i think there's a lot of really exciting things happening in this ho case. so for example down at pier level where the /prabg /teuls facilities for the team are, we're providing a large glass area. it's a really amazing space to be part of and see visually. you'll see beyond it the wall i was

speaking to moments ago in terms of storm water management. you have a really

/aeu amazing view of the city. and of course the arena, if you look at that left hand side of the image -- you only have about 75 feet of the arena exposed in this location so it lowers the visibility in that location. you can see into the bowl of the arena and feel like you're a part of whatever event may be going on. we're showing a warriors game but there's also concerts and other performances to take into

account and think of this this viewing opportunity. you can't get down to the floor level in this view, but still you can see almost the entire bowl and really start to have this interaction with the fans and the crowd using that space. so this was another really exciting moment. so when you're inside of the bowl since you can see in in this location, when you're /*epbls you can see out in that exact same location so we've been working extremely hard with a come and removed about 750 feet or so in that north /erpbl edge of the arena which opens up your view right to the bay bridge so you have this immediate reconnection with the bay from the inside so that's a really exciting moment. but before i move -- sorry, before i move beyond a reasonable doubt that, that's not the only moment where you have this connection to the interior or to the exterior of the arena

depending with where you have. if you see the little bar of light just below the suite /hr*efpl here at center court, that's actually open out to the /srepbl ewe plaza which is at the 35 plus foot level. if you're see views of the park lee center and instantly you can see the entire bowl of the arena so we're providing a similar effect if that /srepbl ewe plaza which you see there. if you zoom in you'll notice another blue area. i think that the /skrao*epbl is just slightly off so it's a little bluer than it will be, but you see a group of people basically up in the tresses up in the ceiling and that's the termination of the ramp which i spoke a little bit about along the south /erpbl edge. so that's a great moment where

you'll be able to see the bridge and the city, but have a really exciting moment of looking into the arena. and along the length of that ramp, /kh-lgs what i'll talk about now, we're also identifying other opportunities to see into different components of the event center. doesn't give you a view into the bowl every time but it allows you these amazing views of the various lobbies. so here on the east /erpbl edge you see the middle of the arena, which is actually the main concourse. and we're identifying areas which can have a high level of transparency, which really will be primarily used during event times 'cause the interior light will make the glass more transparent. so when there's an event going on and people that are walking along the edge of the pier will be able the see up into the arena and also

be part of the excitement so we're trying to promote views into the bowl and into the lobbies and along this ramp area here. so this is a view just above the east /erpbl edge on the ramp. i /sho*eed the termination, but here is a moment we've identified that you can actually see down into the event center at multiple levels. you see the upper concourse there and you could even see an all the way down to the main concourse. so this is an exciting opportunity toe interact with the bay and bridge. naturally there's operational concerns in terms of safety and curt at certain hours of the day, but the idea is to make that as open as long

as it's safe. some of the other they thinkings we're working with with 6.7 acres of open space, not only dealing with storm water management, we want to program this in different ways /abld /*r and provide a variety of experiences and uses. so in the southeast /erpbl corner this is one of the more wild areas so we're just working with ideas of creating vegetation /thag will be sustainable in this environment. the grand staircase leads you up to the /srepbl ewe plaza and the arena on the right. before i talk a bit about scale, it's interesting to note that because of the need to break

down these spaces and to provide a variety of experiences, we're working things around reds where we're identifying locations where the surface could be wood so it's [inaudible] would also be more [inaudible]. we're working with spaces on the left hand side of the stairs like a palm grove that you could walk up through. on the the right hand side of the stairs, there are places for performances, but some retention areas. we need to break up some of the venue plaza spaces which is at the top of the im/papblg /-fpt just so you get an idea of the scale of this space, this is /kwraoupbl you know square here on the left, which is about 1.4 acres and you can fit two of those just in this location on our project. that doesn't include any of the plaza space

at the upper level in the northeast earn level, nor /tkutz it include the perimeter of the entire pier all the way around so those blue rectangles only represent about 2.8 percent of the the space. so this is thinking about the programming and identifying what we can do around the perimeter. i've spoken about most of these so i /wo*epbt spend too much time here, but really the thing to point out is the bay promenade. this is just another view moving up to the event plaza. this is at the plus 35 level standing at the top of that grand staircase. you can see on the right of the arena there another area where we're promoting transparency to be able to see the full height of

the arena and the interior of this location. this is the entry you see off to the right which is i was trying to identify from the interior, where you can see in the plaza into the bowl of the arena. this is towards the back of reds. this is not quite eye level -- probably around 10 or 15 feet tall, but identifies the zones i've talked about. something i haven't touched too much on yet is the retale /spaeuls providing of course south /erpbl exposure to the retail space so it with open up to the south /erpbl plaza and the second floor having some exterior space. you see in that same view -- this is that same view, you just crop and zoom. what's interesting here is that ramp going up the side

of the arena. you see we started to shift this is a view similar to what we've already seen. this ramp here which touches down on the pier is an accessibility path to get up to the /srepbl ewe plaza and it lets you out right at the

/phaeupbl entry of the ticketing area. going now back into the retail component and to the embarcadero first

thinking about the scale of the retale, we look at pier 2 8 and 26 and -- this is a

similar view-so that was from the north locking south, this is from the south looking north. you see reds in its new lo /kag. you can open [inaudible] as well as providing some exterior /stpaeus on the second floor of the retail in that location. you see sort of in the background the arena on that transparent moment of the arena sort of -- you can be led /raoegt up to that through this sort of palm grove and through the grand staircase. so this is interesting, thinking about

the scale of the retail, we wanted to figure out a way of relating the scale of the arena to a /tphoepbl structure. so the closest thing we came up with was the at&t ballpark. so the next couple of viewpoints i'm gonna show is from the same distance standing on the street with a camera trying to get a sense of scale. looking across the embarcadero, this is basically standing in the middle of our lot. this is what you see /-fp because the arena is pushed all the way to the east to the water, it has a very low profile. it's almost hidden by retail, which is between 35 and 55 feet. the roof is sloping so it's changing as you go. so this is what you see /-fp it's open, has a /tphaoeuls [inaudible] feel to it. i mentioned the

relationship to /kp*esing structures and that was extending that same /tkeuls /tapbs. this is a photograph that we applied to a 3 d model which represents at&t park. so here because the park is right on the edge of the embarcadero it appears to be much taller. /t-ls obviously naturally a little bit taller, but not by so much because of the perspective it seems bigger than it is. so this is what happens when you overlay it so that data there of at /t*rbg -- that first band of lighter stone is in the neighborhood of about the plus 55 foot level in comparison to our retail. then you can see our arena in the background. this perspective makes it appear much smaller and less of a presence on the embarcadero and the neighborhood. going down -- very close to the end now -- this is a good opportunity to

jump across the street to the seawall lot 330 and talk a little bit more about it. so you can see here we've talked about the 175 foot of the condo, which is the building on the left and the hotel on the right. i already spoke about the main street passage and the transparency of the bridge piece so you get that nice view. you can see we're also being very sensitive to the podium height so that's currently 45 feet tall and we're respecting that height so our podium does not go above the 40 foot level. these color

are really off. sorry about that. this is just a pedestrian circulation. we are doing our best to provide as

much accessibility as much as we can on the site to promote action in a lot of ways, not only around the presumptive /ter of the pier, but at different levels. mark /-rs markets, jogging, bicycling, walking. then this is just thinking a little bit about the vehicular situation. right now there's two curb cuts on pier 30, 32 and we've focused all of our energy on that northwestern corner, which is really the only major intersection so this would be the in and out for loading and for cars and people that are parking there. that's the in and out for the fire truck for the fire house also. ten i already mentioned a little bit storm water vat

/skwreus. we're very sensitive to the /sus stainable issues so we're working to achieve the highest level of leed, which is gold, but we're working to /aeu /khao*e that and it will be achieved. we will energy efficiency. there's an [inaudible] proximity to [inaudible]ca l, bell /traeupbl

. that pretty much closes the presentation. >> thank you. we are now ready for public comment. first up, patrick, after that ramona. >> i'm in there, ariel kelly. >> we'll take you. >> we'll let you take patrick's spot, but just recognize that a lot of people have been sitting here all afternoon also trying to get in the queue. >> i appreciate that. my name is ariel kelly and i'm here to

speak about the proposed warrior's water front arena. i think all of /uls can identify with support and /sepbls of community that the giants presence in san francisco has brought to our communality, not to mention the amount of attention that has been brought to the port when the giants are on tv. a /t*rbgt park has /kraoe /kwraeted a gaitway for /thourbgs of people to the water front and a reason for thousands of people to visit the port and water front who wouldn't normally have a reason to come down here. i think that's what this arena will do. there's been a lot of talk lately about the transportation issues surrounding having an arena at these piers. i worked on [inaudible] no doubt that the plans for the new arena will be robust and thorough. i want to mention that this arena

has about 17 thousand seats, which is much less than the 45 thousand seats at at&t park and much less than the hundreds of thousands of potential spectators that could show up for america's cup. many warriors fans like myself are well accustomed to taking transit to games. we >> my name is ramona, from

brightline defense. we really support this project because of the unprecedented local hire comment /-pt >> my name is kevin carol, i'm the executive director of the hotel council. the hotel council fully supports this program to bring the arena to the water front. looking at the amount of economic 'em pack, what that will bring to the city, not to mention being able to market an incredible addition to our water front. i want to thank the commission and port for the work that's been done on the

officialerman's warf, the promenade down there and this work happening for pier 30, 32. i want to remind you that this will be good for hotels. when people come to this city for a concert or games, they're staying in hotels. people spend /stwaoeuls /twao*eus as much money outside of hotels as they do inside. that helps small businesses and other businesses throughout the city. we think adding something like this that will help market san francisco continually to the would so that the world class water front and this will be a world class addition to that water front. thank you very much. /tkpwhr thank you. >> thank you. okay. >> gym, chamber of commerce,

alliance for jobs -- supporting this project, warriors on the water front. this is a great opportunity and i they you and you the maritime uses of san francisco have hanged. i've been around long enough in the mayor's office to remember when this pier burnt down and long into the 19 /# 0s and since that time you've been struggling to find an appropriate use to maintain this
