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 important deep water

facility. we've spend a lot of time looking at an as recently as three or four years ago the chamber worked with some local workers thinking that construction costs had dropped low enough to make that office facility feasible at this pier and it wasn't. and it /serpblly isn't today. that approved project is not going to get built, but this project, with such tremendous public amenities -- 365 day a year pub /hreublg park covering half the acreage of this peer continued maritime use on the east /tpaeuls for cruise ships for visiting naval vessels and other ceremonial [inaudible] we look forward to working with you over the next six or eight

months to move this project to finalal approval. thank you /*fpl . >> thank you. >> members of the commission, i would like to defer my time to one of the wisest ladies of this water front, ellen, who's also the chair of your maritime advisory committee and she will speak. >> she has her own card and we don't defer time. so few yo're /pasing, /phraoetz wait to be called. >> that's what's fair to all the other people. we only go by the names that are called. it's what's fair to everybody else. then we -- i did call somebody. john ring is not here. okay.

>> madam chair, members of the commission and also the director, thank you for the opportunity to talk about in support of the warrior's arena. and i'd also like to acknowledge murphy, who i served for four years on the building commission and rightfully so, thank you for having the wherewithal to also /eupbl collude him in all the decision making. the impacts of warrior's arena is going to be huge. the category of economic, cultural and social benefits are of a magnitude that is far greater than what it is now, which is nothing.

the category of economic scale, the benefits of jobs that be /kraoe /kwraeted by the arena and the long term benefits by the ongoing labor and operations that will provide the revenue stream for both the port and all that's involved. on the cultural side, not only on the sports venue, but on the category of events that will enliven both the neighborhood and also the water front. i speak are the social side of having been a member of the dolphin club -- i'm a lifetime member and the category of water front activity is terrific. the opportunity here is the combination of the arena green and marina park. the combination of those two with the wonderful and more /supblny con /tkegss and less /weupbl /tkeu on the south bay is going

to be great. all told, all these benefits are just going to /pwhros sol as a result of both the architectural and decisions being made by you, categoried by which those decisions are going to be impactful, not only on the neighborhood, but the long term category of providing an entertainment value and social value to the nine counties that can converge on to this location. the time and place that this arena will bring a new realm of both entertainment and cultural values, both on a cultural and economic scale and i'm in full support of this arena. thank you. >> thank you. good afternoon,

my name is korin woods. i severable on serve on the arena cac and with ron miguel we cochair the land use design of that cac. in your packet today you heard that we're going to be having a full cac meeting in june and the land use committee is meeting later to start digging into this design. it's pretty pictures, but we want to look at how it's going to operate and whether it's going to be working for the city, the port and the neighborhoods. and i would encourage any of you that can to come and hear what the

community thinks about this be design when we have a chance to really get into detail. thank you. >> thank you. >> my name's garett law and i live in south beach neighborhood there. this is amazing and makes a statement, but i guess i've lived in south beach for about /tepbl years now amend ten years ago we needed a statement and so we got sf giants. it lands with the neighborhood, you got brick and brick and it all goes together. this is a peck tack /hrar concept. i don't see how it integrates into the neighborhood. we've got -- years ago there weren't a lot of people. there were empty buildings there and now the neighborhood's forming up,

we've got tech workers there, academy of arts has a college there so we've got people interacting on a daily basis. i think they're talking 17, 18 thousand people, 200 days a year into the neighborhood seems like an awful lot of people to me in addition to what we've already got. then you've got this venue, then the giant's venue at 42 thousand, then on the other side of the creek you've got another one at another 167 thousand so you're talking about increasing the traffic and the flow of people through the neighborhood from somewhere to 7 thousand to 65 thousand a day most days of the year. i think there's gonna be a huge impact on our neighborhood, being a neighborhood, by putting this

there and i think i'm the one guy not in favor of it tonight, but i think it's too much for the neighborhood. it's beautiful, but i just -- that location as a neighbor -- i'd like you to consider something else. /th*pbg you. >> /tpha*pbg you. >> and after ellen, [inaudible]. >> commissioners, my name is ellen. i'm here on behalf of the maritime commerce advisory committee of the port, along with myself, i'm representing the cochair of the committee and she is head of the director of the inland boatman's unit. we are here to bring you the ideas of the maritime commerce advisory committee and this is

the port's committee which the members include representatives of car /tkpwo*e shipping users, cargo ware housing, harbor services and other maritime cargo and industrial users. i want to say overall i'll /-pl really pleased with the progress that has been made on this design to incorporate and the inclusion in the operation design for deep draft birth. just one further point on that, i do -- /twoubl helpful to see -- i think jennifer and team are going to be making a presentation to the maritime committee on thursday to show the committee this design. the

box is checked, but we /sr-pblt seen the dimensions. there needs to be more work on how the maritime use and the operations of the birthing of the [inaudible] will be incorporated into the design so we'll be interest eded in seeing that -- some more detail work on that. so secondarily we were pleased to hear mention of a ferry birth because this is just in the last few months, the maritime commerce committee has said what can we do to support maritime in this design. we have acceptability a letter to the port and we've handed copies of it here to you today talking about we'd like the team to consider a study working with the water emergency transit authority to

consider the ferry birth. and i saw it there, then we're even further pleased. we think the design is coming a great way for a win win /weupbl for the community and the port and the continued support and public trust on this pier. thank you. >> thank you. >> thank you. i'm dennis. i each in the san francisco public high schools. as you can't to refine and re/spopbld to the orders updated arena project, i have been over the last year sharing my proposal with the warriors and san francisco officials to include within the original design and construction within this arena, a high school college career

pathway classroom. i have provided everyone involved with this project with /tphaoupl /rouls ideas and updates regarding my arena classroom. i trust that the integrity and visionary leadership of the warriors, along with the nba understands their unique responsibility as a powerful, /eupbl flew en/-rbl and social institution and how the nba's influence in the current and future lives of all our youth, families and communities. as well as the creation of the sports arenas that they have and will built. i believe this is a to design and construct this arena for the best and highest use for the benefit or

everyone in san francisco and beyond. this is a golden op /taoupblty to /kraoe /kwraet a will provide a practical and inherently [inaudible] for the establishment of cross cultural [inaudible] visiting students, educators, school officials, business lead /ergs and government officials to the san francisco bay area to general rations to come. making available arena seats [inaudible] educators

government leaders to purchase they will have the op /taoupblty to initiate and develop creative relationships for their schools, students and officials as well as inspiring cross cultural business, including mexico. as all /thaoelz these herbal shoes and /khal ever everywhere /#0*eu6r7b8gs for the benefit of the public my proposals on my website. thank you. >> any further public comment? please identify yourself when you come up to the podium. >> good evening. my name is

mark mcdonald. i'm a /rez /tkepblt resident in south beach. we have provided feedback throughout the project's along our beautiful water front. [inaudible] came as a great surprise we observed that the southeast tower on seawall lot 330 was actually increased in height from 150 feet to 175 feet, which is 70 percent higher than current zoning allows. needless to say a large number of residents were very concerned about having a 175 wall built in front of our homes, and we are

concerned for the disregard the designers have shown for our family's homes. i would /r-pltfully repeat our prior requests that the building heights specifically the proposed tower on the southeast corner of 330 be significantly reduced. thank you very much. >> thank you. are there any further public comments? hearing none, we'll move to the next topic. commissioner, soy write.

>> thank the warriors and their team for their making adjustments towards the feed back that they've received so thank you. >> i want to say thank you. that was a great paren /taegs and we have come a long way. and i think from the speakers we have a little ways to go and it'll be great to see what happens with the land use and maritime committee members and -- because the maritime activity -- that piece of it is key to this project. so looking forward to the next re vision. thank you. >> i guess i have to confess when you showed the open window looking in at the stadium was my days on cal and cheapskate hill. >> want to thank the /pufb

public for coming out. everybody has slowed down. this is a slow process, we got a long way to go. i think we're getting there and the more feedback and more involve /-pl and i really appreciate the sisters saying -- [inaudible] and brad and everybody's trying to make this thing work. unfortunately you can't please anybody but it seems like they're thinking about that, but we know that the giants were very good corporate partners, were very powerful in this process and they /hreftd a blueprint. i think the warriors have heard that and they're trying to be responsible and i think it can be a win win for everybody.

thanks. >> i just hope the warriors win tonight. >> i have a couple comments. have you decided whether you could actually do a 3 d model which would be easier for everybody to see into and see what the de/saoeupbl is. i know you're still making changings, but i guess with the printing these days it's a lot easier to do that but it gives everybody a better sense of what welcome happening. i want to echo what ellen said about the fact that you have incorporated for the ferry because i believe that everybody's concern is about how the flow of traffic and transportation and i think be i said this many times before, if

we can improve water transport, not just east west, but north south to relieve some of the concerns of the neighborhood and commune tip as far as congestion is concerned, not just for special events, but for normal commute, traffic would be a great thing to have. i think that's one of the areas and opportunities that we need to look into for the whole area of embarcadero in terms of the future as if we do bring more traffic in. what else can we do to relieve it in addition to the mass transit options that are obviously there as well. i want to compliment you on that and encourage you to keep thinking about it and i appreciate that you incorporated a lot of the changes and hope you /kopblt to continue to do that so we can

get to a success. thank you. >> item 10b [inaudible] for the mixed use development of the pier 70 water front site bordered by 20th street, michigan street, 22 /-pbld /-pbld street and the san francisco bay. >> good evening. [inaudible] port's pier 70 water front site project manager. i'm here tonight and will be presenting with emily, who is the office of economic and work force development manager for the site and representing for quite

some time. today we're here to talk about the proposed terms described in a term sheet that the port staff intends to bring to the commission on may 28 for your consideration and possible endorsement. our process is normally to bring the proposed terms to you on an informational basis so we can hear your early thoughts and thoughts from the public. and if you endorse the term sheet on may 28 we would then /pwrepbg bring it to the board of supervisors so we could start en/sraoerplt with you. so i want to say this is a big mile sewn in this project.

along with mark, who's look ed at historic resources of the site. emily and i have been working on these term sheet negotiations to advertise that rfq and receive proposals and score the proposals. kathleen and

jonathan arranged an amazing process and -- we've been trying to get [inaudible] proposition d was adopted by san francisco voters in 2030 by a margin of 68 percent to 32 percent. we've gotten several pieces of legislation by assembly /phebl. the /tp*eurls allows the capture of the state share of tax increment to fund public improvements at pier 70 and we'll talk a little bit more about that within the pier 70 site. so i'm going to hand

this over to emily. >> hi, good evening. so as you know in planning for the future of pier 70, the port has been looking at pier 70 as a series of sub years with /sraeurls strategies and priorities so starting in the north east corner one priority is to maintain the maritime use, the ship repair facility moving around counter clock wise port staff is hard at work creating [inaudible] cove park which will be funded largely by voter

approved geo bond. to work toward rehabilitating that historic core. it looks like we'll be bringing a lease to you toward the beginning of next year. the northern portion of the hill sub area is port owned land that we'll talk about later. then toward the south is a privately owned parcel that the port is currently in negotiations in with [inaudible] to acquire. and then there's the site that is our focus today. the water front site is 21 acres. we're

proposing new parks and preservation and reuse for the amazing historic building -- building 2, 12 and 21. so as whiting as the water front site is, there are a lot of kind of /sp-rbl risks and challenges that go along with it and those have shaped the term sheet that we're going to present to you. one of them is the site's location in the context of pier 70 and relative to dog patch. it's further east, less proximate to the other areas in dog patch, as a result it's expected to follow the order [inaudible] historic core, as well as infrastructure ready

parcels along illinois street. there's the risk associated with the fact that the pier 70 area isn't an established place for the /taoeps of commercial office uses that we're proposing. we think that it can become a really exciting destination for those kind of users but when the market is going to be right for that transition is also has some un/serpblty uncertainty associated with it. this has to do in part with sea level rise. we'll show you a map later on that -- the whole site has to be raised in order to withstand sea level rise in the future. the project team needs

to build a sea can't wall along portions of the shoreline to protect against potential [inaudible] center of the site presents some pretty significant structural /kpal /hrepbgs and additional uncertainty until the developer gets into the ground and starts building it's hard to know /kpabgtsly what is going to be there and what challenges they'll face. so as a result we're [inaudible]. basically an overview of what the project will entail -- the terms sheet
