a commensurate public benefit as well with respect to affordable housing. >> and my last question is just regarding st. patrick's such. i know there was a concern about parking -- public parking spots that were available to those that attended service at st. patrick's on the weekend. my understanding is actually in the weekend there is a decline in occupancy and the public parking garage. i'm wondering if the reduction -- because there will be a reduction in public parking spaces. if that reduced number still meets what we currently see in terms of usage on sundays at the jessie square garage. and you may not know the answer to that. >> i don't. i'll have to [speaker not understood]. what i can tell you definitively is the expectation that the contemporary jewish museum, st. patrick's and the mexican museum, each of those cultural facilities which enjoyed certain use and

benefits in this garage, each of those cultural benefit -- cultural facilities and st. patrick's church would have commercially reasonable rates that would be rates commensurate with what they were typically paid before when it was a privately operated garage available to the public, the balance. and now it's just a maximum of the one to one and the balance available to the public. so, i know that the developer is committed to working with the constituent partners in the area to make sure that their parking needs are satisfied at reasonable rates. >> okay. so, that would just be my one request of the developer, is to ensure that the reduced public parking spots, which actually i support, are commensurate to kind of needs on the weekend. >> [speaker not understood]. in terms of the amount of money this project is putting into the general fund, is it the 9.3 million and the bond repayments? >> i think that's just one

component, to payoff the totality of the garage bonds which is actually 43.5 million. the outstanding debt under that reimbursement agreement is 18 million. so, even though the garage bonds are being paid off every year, we're still -- the city is still accruing interest on that 18 million and that's not being paid off. so, the total amount of those dollars would go -- payoff the bonds and then some, would accrue -- >> through repaying the general fund? >> yes, it would make the general fund whole. >> it's not new revenue, going into the general fund? ~ >> that's correct. >> right. not like as opposed to an impact fee which is new money that goes into a function [speaker not understood]. this is a repayment. >> i think understand, supervisor kim indicated there has been a lot of discussion certainly at the board on other additional contributions that are important and critical to

considering the package that goes before -- >> absolutely. when it comes to these impact fees, they're all very important. you know, i'm a big supporter of the affordable housing trust fund. i think it's critical that we through impact fees generate funding to create affordable housing for the city and money for open space and for our schools. but, you know, when we have -- and even though residential and nonprofit use are exempt from the transit impact development fee, i think it's way overbroad the way we do that and unbalanced, but that's the current law. when these projects are negotiated, you know, so, for example, with the affordable housing fees, we frequently will negotiate an affordable housing fee that is well above what the inclusionary housing ordinance provides, right? is that right?

that's what we have here. >> yes, that's correct. >> and that's a negotiation. that is a negotiation where the developer is asked to put a higher impact fee, whether it's affordable housing or open space, then it's legally required. right? am i -- >> yes. >> i want to make sure -- >> you articulated that with the discussion. >> was there any negotiation here about paying transit impact fees, even though it's not automatically required by the tidf ordinance? i'm just wondering because, you know, i know there's a lot of -- we have a lot of -- >> not for this particular discussion that you've recently raised. >> so, before today was there any thought given to -- i mean, the fact that this will generate muni trips, and, so, i just wonder as we're negotiating these projects if there is ever any thought given to, hey, let's negotiate a transit impact fee given that there will be an impact on muni.

>> i think in the context of the environmental analysis, certainly there are a number of trips each and every day with respect to the public garage. and i think the environmental analysis did show what ceqa expert, but certainly on-site residential generates a number of trips. there's no doubt, supervisor, that there will be impacts to our transit system and we certainly, from the public side and taking our direction and queues from the board and what we know from the pressures from our other departmental colleagues at muni, certainly push it to taking our guidance from the board. does it make sense. is everyone paying their fair share. >> so, i guess i would like to give direction and a queue, but i believe that when we're negotiating these projects where clearly there are impact fees that are paid that are well above what is legally

required, that these projects should be paid transit impact fees. and, again, not just this project. we see a lot of projects coming through here that are not paying transit impact fees and we're heading in a bad direction, and i think we need to shift course on that. so, i do want to provide that feedback. supervisor kim. >> thank you. i just want to clarify. so, there is actually dollars that are coming into our general fund in the amount of $9.3 million. and that's in the pay back of the tax increment that we've already spent in the bond redemption. but on top of that, the developer is also paying approximately 25 million for the outstanding debt under the garage bond and will be paying the successor agency roughly $18 million for the reimbursement agreement, the cooperation and tax reimbursement agreement. so, there is actual dollars coming to our general fund with this agreement as well on top of that. i did just want to say i agree

with supervisor wiener that i think overall as a city, that we have undercut our transit system by not applying tidf to market rate residential development and that goes for market rate residential development inside redevelopment and also outside redevelopment area plan. but i think what is occurring under redevelopment mimicking what we were doing outside and generally throughout our city, if there wasn't a kind of [speaker not understood] made for redevelopment residential buildings, that they didn't have to pay into our transit impact fee. but i completely agree that was a short-sighted call. [speaker]

to a lesser extent with the bayview as well, but i did just want to state that. >> great, thank you. colleagues, any additional comments? i'd like to ask that project sponsor come up for a few minutes to make a few remarks, and also perhaps to comment on some issues that we've been discussing. >> good afternoon, supervisors, my name is sean jefferies. i'm with millennium partners. the developer of the 706 mission mexican museum and residential tower project. millennium partners has been working with the redevelopment agency for over 20 years in the yerba buena plan area. we have worked on numerous projects and together over the last seven years we've been exploring prior to the expiration of the plan area

than the dissolution of redevelopment a project whereby we can bring the mexican museum ~ to fruition. and also as well work through several neighborhood and other matters that, again, through redevelopment, there was concerned with, as far as the wind down of the plan. we've been working extensively the last several years with the planning department and have enjoyed their collaboration and input. there's been renewed and focused interest on pedestrians and others for the neighborhood, including more recent updates with the project area and the yerba buena area. so, we've enjoyed that experience. we are very committed to the mexican museum and making sure that it takes place in a timely manner. and, so, we are very happy to support the mexican museum and its trustees. to the extent i've heard some

questions today about st. patrick's and the church parking, yes, on sundays the parking utilization is significantly lower than it is during the week. during the week it, again, would operate mostly as a monthly parking for businesses in the neighborhood. i believe that will monthly parking for sometime given the south of market office market has been cut off, so there can be no further additional monthly parkings. but on the weekends a lot of those office users are not coming downtown. we've been tracking for st. patrick's the rough validations over the last six months or last two quarters. we've assured them that we would make those spaces available and more for them on sunday parking. again, even with the reduction in spaces that we're contemplating as far as the parking mix, we will ensure and make sure that there will be more than adequate parking for

st. patrick's. that will go for the jewish museum as well for events. we are working through a project marking management plan that would account for the new project requirements given the mexican museum moving in and the residential project we're contemplating. ~ parking so it is something we anticipate putting together with all of our neighbors well in advance. >> thank you. colleagues, any questions for mr. jefferies? okay, thank you. okay, at this point we will begin public comment. public comment -- >> if i could. i know everyone is very familiar or familiar with the project. i'd like to bring up again [speaker not understood] from handel architects to walk through the visual descriptions if that would be appropriate at this point in time. >> colleagues, would you like to see that? president chiu? >> [speaker not understood].

>> i think we've seen the renderings. thank you. okay. we'll now open it up to public comment. public comment will be limited to 2 minutes. at 30 seconds left you'll hear a soft bell and then when your time is up you'll hear a louder bell. so, i will call the first batch of public commenters. ricardo padilla. [speaker not understood]. michael mckenna. [speaker not understood] rodriguez. noll wagoner. [speaker not understood]. nor a wagoner. don marcos. [speaker not understood]. [speaker not understood]. sorry, having trouble reading that one. helen salse. [speaker not understood].

mary mccue. [speaker not understood]. [speaker not understood]. carmen [speaker not understood]. and matty flores. go ahead. good day, supervisors. thank you for a chance to address the committee. my name is [speaker not understood]. i'm creator and co-founder of latino comics expo. it's become the largest gathering for latino [speaker not understood]. we've enjoyed the support of president david chiu. thank you. i'm here to advocate for the ordinance because one of our goals in the latino comics expo is to try to introduce young people, under served communities to the museum experience. so, i'm here to testify from a firsthand viewing, i've been able to see what kind of impact museum experience has on young people, the access to art, to

creativity, to. that venue for young people is, you know, an incalculable benefit for our community. ~ to have our association works with 826 valencia program. we work with [speaker not understood] mira project. we work with the police mission station to get at-risk youth to come to our museum projects and expos. so, i've seen how important having museum access is to young people and that's why i'm a big backer of this ordinance and to help the mexican museum get passed. another thing, too, i have to admit that i've been fortunate to see the mexican museum collection, the one that's currently in moth balls in storage. it is an amazing, amazing collection. the people of san francisco in and around the world deserve to see. some of these pieces have not been seen in over 40 years

since the founder of the mexican museum pierre rodriguez collective over 40 years ago. there are some amazing pieces at the rockefeller foundation family has donated to the mexican museum that have never been seen. once the mexican museum gets a chance to have their own facility, i'm sure that it will be yet another jewel in the cultural crown of this city that will give, you know, i measurable benefit to the public. ~ i'm sure people will come from all over the world to see this collection. so, that's why just as an arts advocate, as a young people advocate, i strongly urge your support for this ordinance. i appreciate your consideration. thank you. supervisors, michael [speaker not understood], san francisco public construction and trades council. you heard somebody mention jobs in connection with this project. i know it's a little difficult to [speaker not understood].

but i will point out that most of those tower cranes are on projects for which we had to fight years ago. during the last boom, and we don't count on those projects going when we fight for them. we count on them happening when the economy allows them to happen. so, we are
