do have that -- we have that current pool of money but we want to be sure that the projects that we fund realry have strong impacts as you saw. we identified core area of need and housing jobs and committee as being key funding priorities for us, so whenever possible we try to cross those over the neighborhood and business coordinations program for instance is an exer size in both job creation but in community cohesion and bringing together those businesses and resident. and i think it's as opportunity as needs become clear, we as the cdc act on those. we have been looking in ways to invest to help resident that live in south of market to stay there. we view our self

as the place where the south of market can come to us with ideas and we like to support that and let us be a place the community can come to. >> thank you. supervisor mark. >> thank you mr. tim and mrshgs rosario. >> i have a question about the tech 2.0, the rise of younger more a fluent and childless people in the south market area and i know that key goals are stabilizing and building community, but i worry that families will be displaced and the philippino and the immigrant community which i know you're trying to create a historic heritage district for populations that occur maybe displaced so what strategies what are you trying to implement that the community is given not just on south of market but other neighborhoods

if the city. >> as i mentioned, we're currently working with other non profit and the city to be a leader. and the idea that many of those families, many of those philippino citizens and veterans live in the smaller market. another example of really working to keep families in south of market, this is a previous program that we funded a relationship with 333 harrison which is a new development in south of market where we work to make sure that south of market resident with an emphasis on family were able to submit applications for the units to 3333 harrison. they created a number of family

units created that would cater to seniors and we wanted to make sure since they were building in south of market that as many south of market resident had access to that. those are examples where we're looking for new ways to address the particularly of dwindling housing. >> carmichael school, you're trying to turn it into a community hub with services and places go to see with a large philippino population and immigrant students, that makes a lot of sense. can you give background about renaissance and urban solutions and why they're critical. there's a representative of renaissance who can speak to what they do. but renaissance center who we funded for the

program has a, i believe, 28 year history of working with small businesses and being located if the south of market with particular emphasis on training, low income folks to start businesses and helping those folks really grow those businesses to the point where they can hire employees where they're much for being

forward. >> there will be a remaining balance of $3 million based on the rfp, we recommend that you approve the proposed resolution. >> are there any restrictions in terms of how much can be disbursed from this fund at any point in time? >> there hasn't been any restrictions. we have to approve all of them with you all. >> all right. thank you very much. any other questions. mr. rose, see none. we'll open

this up to public comment. if anyone wishes to comment on item number 10 please step forward. >> hi, my name is paula connely and i'm with the entrepreneur ship program. i'm here to talk about the goal of renaissance. we want to make sure both local resident are aware of the non profit and what we can provide. we're using the strength of our organizations to bring together small businesses, non profit organizations and resident. our proposal is to create benefits for both businesses and resident addressing residence needs like affordable projects to the needs of businesses like employees and local support. businesses want to give back and our program will create a way for them to do that easily. renaissance can provide through our business services

and united players can provide training to the community. we'll create other opportunities for partnerships and businesses providing lunch discounts and raffling and things of that nature. and ultimately bring non profits together are strengthen the community and create community unit. >> ity. >> everybody else wish to comment on this item? >> i'm from south market resource center childcare. and we -- i'm speaking for the school site position grant from silma family fund. we have worked with the school and we have seen over the years the increasing need of support for the students and family at carmichael. this will help us expand the work that we do and

collaborate and identify more services that could bring in more support for the families and students at carmichael. we want to increase more services in the school site so the families have easier access when at the need the services. we believe the families are able to meet their needs and have access available support. and children are better supported and can be more successful at school. we know that study shows that when students do well as school they're more likery to succeed in the future and be more responsible individuals in the community. >> thank you. public comment is closed. colleagues can have a motion or do we have comments. we can do so without opposition. call item number

11. cohenresolution finding the proposed development of the pier 70 waterfront site, an approximately 28-acre site located in the southeast corner of pier 70, fiscally feasible under administrative code, chapter 29, and endorsing the term sheet between forest city development california, inc., a california corporation, and the port commission >> okay. thank you. we have brad benson. we have emily loed and be have jack with the city development. whoever wants to go first. >> good morning supervisors, emily lask with the work force

development. our item is the pooer 70 work force which is the pooer 70 port site. our plans for the water front site are based on the pooer 70 master plan which was created if a three year really expensive community and state holder outreach process led by david bow pray who is here today. and byron receipt planning and director. the water front site proposal really builds on the main goals that came out of that planning process in the preferred master plan creating a new district, preserving historic resources and activities, creating water front spaces and attractive innovative users. that's a two

year process that took place between 2007 and to 2010. the port issued an rsq and the city to enter into an agreement with the water front site. in 2011 and for the last two years the port and oewd has been working together to do analysis and come up with concept plans for this site and community outreach and the term sheet. if the board of supervisors endorses the term sheet we anticipate two to three years of review and development agreement, negotiations, and creating design guidelines for the site. i also want to mention that the project really relies on three important pieces of legislation. prompt d which was approved by voters

with 68 percent yes vote in 2008, enables the port to stream line the development process. basically they - the board will be asked to approve the plan and the changes in the structure finance plan or the combined board approval of the project and the port can move forward. ab 1199 allows the project to create financing district that captures the state's share of new tax to go toward infrastructure. and ab 418 addresses the site -- the water front site is a patch work of parcels some of which are subject to the public trust and some are not and enables

the port to reorganize which parcels are subject to the trust so it's more rationale. just putting the project in pier 70, it's the right side of the map going counter clockwise north of there, the ship repair operated by ba systems, it's a priority to keep that time use if place. the cove parcel west of the ship yard or the ship repair yard, the port is planning a large new water front park currently wrapping up the community process and it will utilize park bonds for its completion. the historic core of historic office and

industrial buildings along 20th street, the port as entered into a negotiation with development for the rehabilitation and they're on track to get going on that rehabilitation project the beginning of next year and the hill site south of the historic core, the northern portion is port property that is expected to generate revenues that are help fund the entitlements and the water front site and the port, in negotiations of pdg which owns that parcel to acquire it. it's currentry a dirt recycling facility. and we're committed to creating a more appropriate gateway to the exciting new activity that going on. i'm going to turn it over to jackson who is going to talk about the land use

concept. >> that's not quite tall enough is it. good morning supervisors. it's a pleasure to be here on be after of the team. i'm joined by alexis who is the head of the san francisco office. if an effort to be efficient, we have not included slides that talk about the extensive outreach process that we went through. i would like to just note that we did spend about a year out in the community. we hired an artist to do an illustrated narrative depicting the history of the site. we showed that as an opening that 300 people and we did focus groups and brainstorming and workshops with business owners and cultural organizations and members of the central water front advisory group. we work

with our engineers and construction companies to go out and do due diligence to understand the reality of reviet vitalize the community. it was a 12 month process led to the plan i'll show you shortly. one of the, i think just to put in context the key things that came out of that learning process were that it was really important to create a successful place that community would want to participate in pier 70. that's a mix of creative uses that i'll talk more about and it capitalized on the community and the history. the experiences that people can have are locally inspired,

local feeling and that that permats the ground floor on the site. there's enough density, one to support the infrastructure cost but to make the place feel alive and support these uses on the ground floor and to create a unique water front. so at the center of the site, we've located a mixed created core. i think what's important here is that when we look at where the pier 70 master plan was one of the major goals was to reaccomplish pier 70 as a city hub as in world war ii and we think the way you can make that work is creating the urban environment that you have in

south market particularly around south park. if you look at where companies are going that are growing in san francisco they want to be in those locations and they're choosing those like mission bay which aren't designed to accommodate that mix so at the center of the site we've located this core of residential and creative uses like small scale local production, arts and cultural uses, restaurants and retail and those are flanked on the edges of the site by that commercial office space which supports the ground floor activity and supports the economic equation for this site. the land use program that is in the term sheet includes 270,000 square feet of what we use as catch all category called creative uses that perm ats the ground floor but it's around three buildings here in red. two are historic

rehabilitation. the affordable component delivered on site and 2.5 million feet of office. to three dimensionally, which is really how we experience a place, we spent some time looking at how do we make a place that feels like a san francisco neighborhood that people would want to spend time in and take ownership at. we started by looking at the form of certain areas the mission bay where the heists are capped at 90 feet and you end up with the buildings are brt out to the envelope, to the box, the shoreline is one continuous frontage with the buildings which makes it more challenging to activate that open space. so one of the things that we did is we have the opportunity with these three historic buildings on the site that

create a little note of historic texture and we opened up that water front park into the interior of the site. it creates some distinct zones for the parks that can better be integrated with the buildings and it also creates that connection into the interior of the site. we drop the scale of the buildings around about 75 percent of the site to lower the dark gray building with the textured roof. that's building 12. it's about 65 feet, 3 three quarters of the site is lower than that fronting on the park, it's approximately 35 to 45 feet. a good example of is this south park. the buildings around south park are lower scale and as you go to the next ring out you get the larger scale buildings that help support the activity in the

park itself. what that does mean is having the density that we need to the site, that means moving that to the edges of the site and so what you see here is that we've got into a three locations some taller buildings that can be up to 230 feet where you maintain that density, but you're doing it in a way that respect the shoreline and the character of the open space. the overall density that is being proposed on the water front site is very similar to what you see in dog patch which is the american industrial center, the area around south park and slightly in mission bay. i won't go into a lot of detail here but we're focused on the ground floor activity, creating a place that feels like the type of neighborhood that people love about san francisco. and that means a mix of diverse

interesting, publicly uses that include cafes and restaurants and neighborhood serving retail, arts and cultural expanding on what exists on the site. some scale row cal production as got a major presence in the dog batch already. chocolate makers and wine makers and those types of users and the other project that we're working on called work innovation. these are spaces that are often called work share environments where you've got a high density of people sharing space, often sharing equipment. there's a high density and poll nation across businesses and examples are tech shop which is oriented around making and manufacturing or the hub which is oriented

around entrepreneur ship. you have the office and those are less accessible to the visitors to the site but they're the fundamentally economic driver for the project to support the infrastructure uses and also to support those ground floor uses that really rely on the residence and the works as clients, as customers, as partners. all of this space is tied together by the public realm. that's the parks and the walkways and the shoreline. we worked hard to orient the plan so the open spaces have a maximum opportunity to be activated by the buildings and the uses that are a djacent to them so around building 12 where we envision a market hall

where you got low market scale that's making and selling their goods. you have the historic building on the water front site in an area we're calling it -- you got it unique space where the buildings are the right side of the park could be an indoor, outdoor venue. there's no road between the building and the park so there's an opportunity for those uses to spill out directly onto the park to live them. it's a place where people can have a picnic or their children can play. it can accommodate to the outdoor concert or an outdoor movie and lastly an area called the slip

way promanade where it's a unique place in san francisco where you have the bay trail which will pass through pier and south with restaurants and retail on one side without automobile access separating that space from the buildings and on the other side these historic piers that give people an opportunity to pop out onto the bay and these amazing views as you can see on the screen looking at downtown san francisco and the bay bridge. so we're extremely excited about this. we've been extremely encouraged by the positive response we've received. we've had three open houses on the site. it has been incredibly impressed by

having upwards of 700 people attend these and folks are excited about what's happening at pier 70. >> supervisor mark. >> this is a great presentation, the slide you're giving us, but having visit that flip way area and even just seeing what it looks now now compared to what you're proposing, that would make the presentation stronger. and how things aren't used at all and how you're creating an amazing community. i like the presentation too but it doesn't bring out as you stated in the beginning, how what a creative process it was to look at a vision and the panels you had in the community and how people looked at the history and creating something that's based on the respect, but this is a great presentation. >> i appreciate you acknowledging and also the fact

that you showed up at one of the open houses. i will end, i don't know if you all received a few letters of support that came in late last night and early this morning. i'll leave them here in case you didn't and we're available to answer questions after brand benson finishes the presentation. thank you. >> good morning supervisors, brad benson and the last part of the presentation is to describe the term sheet that we have negotiated and the term sheet is the proposed high business terms between the city and for a city to build it new neighborhood. and then also

the fiscal feasible code and starting a code. we've been in -- if we could move back to the presentation, victor. we've been in -- after four city completed its two year process, we entered into an sharet process and the port and the municipal transportation agency. as you can see from this slide, we're looking at developing a complicated neighborhood in what is, you know, largely a historic industrial site. maintaining that ship repair use and building all new infrastructure and amendities to support the vision that four city has put

together. there's challenges and there's high infrastructure cost. there's a market absorption with this site. we think the natural development of the site starts from illinois street on the west and through those purple sites down into the four city site. so it's going to take up to 15 years to see this vision realized in phases over time. jack over gave an over view of this site consists with the ports preferred master plan. it's a major goal of the master plan and these retail maker uses at 270,000 square feet. four city brought forth the

idea of incorporating residential having 1,000 to activate the staff and the staff agreed that that 24 hour presence was needed to have a vibrant neighborhood at pier 70 and associated parking. we always focus on open space development. david bopray who is the lead planner for the master plan is working on the blue green way up and down this water front and we're excited about the new editions that they propose to that network of parks and water. as a city team, we're excited about this place making notion. four city's got new ideas but they implemented
