several years >> good afternoon president fong and members. i'm with the planning and port division payroll if i could - i want to express any comploenz to kerry. so on behalf of myself as well as the staff and the port commission we wanted to express our presentation for everything she's left for us. i'm going to speak briefly as john indicated last month we did this informational presentation for the port commission to give an overview. we tend to look at what the commission is doing and we want

the people to understand the planning and land use development issues we're facing in the city along the waterfront and follows a certainty tradition that's been set up over the last 10 or 12 years. i have a staff report i've given copies to be described. it gives us an overview of what the waterfront planning process and the collaborative efforts have been that have manifested for properties down to the base i think that's memorialized in the waterfront plan. and that plan as many have you recall is something that was created at the initiative of a

voter project that took the better part of ten years to look at the future of what the waterfront should be. a lot of that was focused on the changes on the northern half of the waterfront from the basin you up to fisherman's what have. and how the city had changed upland to expand the downtown and create the northern gateway and left open the question of what should be happening along the piers and how is it we bring along the open front of the spaces and celebrate our resources and bring in newland uses that are relative to a changing face of san francisco while at the same time really

recognizing and protecting the integrity of the maritime industries along the waterfront. the work that has been done has been reflected in the people that are now going up and down the waterfront it was to give and open up the range of activities that would be developed along the waterfront and to a make sure that was planned in sync with the waterfront system and to make sure those opportunities awe violated us the chance to preserve those buildings. between the ballpark buildings

it's been a successful effort overall and we're been working with the planning department to create joint design reviews both of our colleagues serve on to make sure the planning the citywide design prospective's are integrated into the port projects but now we're shifting our focus to south of china basin into the waterfront area we're going to be taking a lot of the the accused from the efforts we've already made in the in her opinion half of the waterfront in terms of the calculation efforts and bring in mta. as you know, the tear down of the freeway and the creation of

the boulevard was the creation initiate that was on the northern half of the waterfront we've had now 10 years under your belts and how now do we extend it south of basin. so we've been very happy to find a very collaborative city effort to take a look at the growth and land use needs projected edify the next 20 years and how is it go back going to effect the neighborhoods and how is the port going to try and take it's accuses from the boarder citywide forces and bring them down to the waterfront so we can

uphold our trust responsibilities. and as the arena project at pier 2022 and sea lot 37 and pier 38 the efforts for the multiple projects for parks and historic preservation and basically redoing the who san francisco to make a resilient to put in sustainable infrastructure those are all efforts that the port commission needs to take on but it needs to take it's accuses from the planning commission. so the eastern neighborhoods plan in particular was an effort that the port followed on closely and it informed the planning and the further detailed work that the port do for the master plan, which is

the jump off point for two private-public - public-private efforts on pier 70. i think the on come of the waterfront transportation assessment now that is mta is leading is a very integral development in terms of tying together the land use transportation planning that we can as best as possible match the capital for the developments as they come on line. we're very pleased to have a collaborative relationship to build on. we're working with your staff in terms of looking at the new projects where i take large pieces of land and what are the

new zoning and special use construction that should apply to those areas and and can it meet the economic and a financial needs of rebuilding infrastructure and integrating open spaces at very important strategic parts of the waterfront. i appreciate our tension on that as john indicated i expect to be back into this commission fairly regularly to try to get up e keep you updated. thank you very much >> thanks diane. so i'm going to go quickly through the presentation which i think you have in your packets and i - if i can have the computer. i always find it useful at the risk of being redundant to

replacement us that the one plan adopted does provide and does project a fair amount of growth in the region over the next 25 years namely an increase of seven hundred households and 1 million jobs. and for the city, of course, that means an increase of 1 hundred though households and 2 hundred thousand jobs. we are, of course, of course - the regional will grow sustainable we're being asked to accept 15 percent under that growth and we have about 12 percent now. it's for o important to talk about that as we talk about the planning we're doing along the waterfront and the plans we've adopted over the past decade those plans do in the get us to

those numbers so it's important to think creativity about how we recognize the large amount of growth it's only 15 percent of the recreational growth. the main point i want to make is what we're doing with other departments is really about cargo out the waterfront plan it was adopted in 1997. it effects many of the goals and improvements it influenced our work in neighborhoods. the steps we've taken in recent years and the work we're doing provide very much recreational benefits. there has been some concern and it's been expressed lately that

the city does not have an overview vision. i think part of the raison is that the plan has been adopted over 15 years ago. we often get this with the downtown plan it was nearly thirty years old. but we still think it's important to honor the plan and the work and the same is true of the waterfront. it's 15 years in planning terms is not a long time. we tend to get a little bit im35ish9 but in terms of implementing a plan 15 years is not that long. its important for me and you to honor the work that creates those plans. i won't go into detail but it establishes a 5 sub areas along

the waterfronts. it looks in dlafl over the waterfront and the details over the districts and those 5 sub areas. excuse me. one minute arrest plaintiff. and i think it's important to look at the combination of the waterfront plan that was done and the plans done subject to that. it goes back to the time before the plan was adopted and certainly predates me. when i arrived 5 years ago i was part of the jury that reviewed the lots 37. so there's been a long time of planning and it's been almost as if we have a one time plan. but starting about the time that

it was adopted and city agencies began the series of eastern he neighborhood plan, which included 4 areas. it was to accommodate growth near trait and in higher decent neighborhoods. someway simultaneously we recall developing plans that had been adopted a few years earlier. you're looking at an entire quadrant of the city that stipends to the waterfront. even the upland plans establishes policies and procedures for the corrections first year the eastern plan established the context for

planning at pier 40. it was not formally looked at but it has the open space planning and the restoration of the shipping destroy. those are on the waterfront and it focuses on the attendance to the water and a consistent with the wftd plan and focuses on better connections between the neighborhoods and waterfront. most popular it's not just about connecting to the waterfront by extending the neighborhoods. it's on the recent development projects is to create a better seamless transition. it's important to mention that

the work about designing components of the water. diane mentioned the waterfront design advisory committee which was set up by legislation in 20098 a year after the plan was adopted and that's a form body it takes care of the waterfront projects. but it's important to mention another project that and that will extend the waterfront area. so it has a region and local context. navigate our public collaboration goes further such as a jefferson street and finishes man's what have was led in collaboration by the port. given the nature for

recreational growth and the transportation needs we're working not only with the mta and dp w to include the transportation services for how we assess the waterfront in the surrounding areas and peter will talk about that in a second. so quickly what are the lessons of the work and where we are headed. we know that the waterfront are going to offer more opportunity for public and recreation that takes care of the neighborhood needs. it takes care of the authentic care of the waterfront. it was a blue print integrated with transportation oriented neighborhood needs and helps us

to accept some of the recreational growth. now we're going to work on the implementation. we're dealing with a large number of those sites and all at the same time. all sites carry out goals for the expletive mix of ice and protecting maritime destroy and extending the neighborhoods to the water. since the rehabilitate of pier one and the ferry building on the national register the port has made strides in rehabilitating it's resources. the plan and assess element and the b cbc plan together provided an area that is important. and the context of sea level rise after the america's cup is

complete. in terms of overall lessons those are lessons of the plan 127b9d public engagement and it's going to last throughout the project. we've learned that the public expects excellence on the waterfront xylophones. our partners are selected through a fair public process. that b cdc have to be an integral part of this process. and especially, when you're looking at major industries like at pier 70 it's important. the public is increasingly enjoying the project. and we've learned that the design uses can connect the

neighborhoods to the waterfront. neck steps we're working together with those promotions and there's a high number of them at the same time. we're trying to implement the land use plan and the other neighborhoods plan. to meet the goals we're looking at potential zoning changes and probably tweaks to the waterfront designing pr we think that some of those changes are likely justified and those sites play an important part in reaching our targets. we still doesn't add up to all the targets so we need to accommodate the growth. i want to close by thanking the staff for the great collaboration over the years and

the port and planning commission for recognizing the importance of this waterfront project. i'll turn it over to peter to talk about the transportation >> thank you. >> good afternoon president fong peter. this is the second time i believe i've come to you and given i an update on the waterfront assessment. i appreciate having the concoction that was given are the transportation doesn't work in the isolation of any project.

so if i could have the computer i'm walk quickly through our update. when i last talked to you about the statement it was an idea it was something that was going to help people understand ahead of those big challenges inland use that was coming down. we since have drafted the promise. i'd like to go through those slides and how to make sense of those and if i walk awe >> jerry: u away from here letting you know what are the next steps i'm being successive. it's complicated. we were talking about it being the area inside that box and we recognize that all the way up to

the fisherman's what have the waterfront is the waterfront. and the essential waterfront effects businesses all the way to the perimeters. we're blowing this boundary because we want to make sure that what effects the system is being recognized by 0 people who are all along the waterfront. but the focus is where the major things are happening like pier 70. this diagrams are to emphasize and the main goal is to get ahead of this year that the darker the red color the more difficult. here's a snapshot of would 20/20 looked like.

so in 20 years i think this is what it looks like. the first phase is to come up with transportation goals and strategies and the importance is we're working with the goals and strategies to the agencies that are responsible have said, yes your assumptions of capacities are correct whether it's the traffic engineers or the other folks they've helped us shape the golden strategies. and the second part of it is when is eirs kick in and putting them through the models that the eirs will crank on and which this is bigger than one change it's how it effects the whole waterfront. the goals and straengz you've

probably seep this before we're continuing to take control of what's in the pipeline. the left-hand side were the major projects that were coming along in the phrases and up to 20040. the point is that list is changing and we work closely with the staff to make sure that when the projects are submitted. on the right side are the transportation projects. so there's a host of projects coming online. are they coming on together are they coordinated. so the second part of this phase is to get the community workshops session.

those are graphics to show as we get in we track it with the suggestion. friends this is not really readable but down to the 22 fillmore a whole series of comments coming and how important it is to the waterfront we can see the same for parking. the third part of it after understanding the pipeline and making sure we're getting friend of mine is looking at the america's cup. we need to pay attention to all the special programs like argue special events team. and we want to a make sure that at the end of the day we've got parking and a lot of coordination. it's the waterfront so, of

course, this is very important. the way we did the people plan was the development a strategy ahead of the eir and boy that paid off in dividends. we scoped this out before the eir had finished the certification process. we've developed the golden strategies as and the director said we've got generations of plans in our books. we build on what the past generation has done to help us what the future. this color coded diagram is saying that whether or not it's the strategic plan or any one of the area plans or the commerce and industry those r relevant.

we're analyzing those goals and objectives because here we are in 2012 with a whole new range of projects. i'll wake quickly through those that are those are in the pipeline because their informed but he america's cup experience. so right away right now we've had a lot of meetings and we've started to prepare a progress report series so people participating with us whether or not we have the right streams we want to come back this summer and reflect on what when we have heard. this will be final listed and we want to make sure that people tracking this can go online and see the process so they can see

how comments are shaping the plan. this is the second plan. the stream here is to get to the solutions to make a difference in and keep on track. we're going to use this diagram. is the waterfront is the whether i circle in the middle. the error right now points to all the workshops we're having like the warriors subcommittee. we look at the other groups to make sure we're getting input and, of course, impaneled in the waterfront project not only the giants or the warriors but it's the 1r0e6789 agreements and the environmental assessment itself because from those communities meetings is outreach. that goes back to the project

sponsor may rktsz the best ideas and strategy and the community feedback through the development agreements so some aspects for example, of the warriors comments reflect what the community upstairs. there's a host of other smaller details but when the environmental review comes along there that might be mitigation standards and they might not all right. looked in the rough. and then let's say that project moves forward we get more sophisticated agreement and the waterfront that is that much

smarter because we've learned every step of the way. this will a lot of you slides but they go quick. if i may go too fast but the station is up against at any time capacity limits. we're looking at short term and long term fixes to give important capacity so it doesn't have to shut down. we're also looking at cal train and look at the electrician faster and to look at 22nd street and it's not that easily assessable so there's capital improvements there. we could use the water more ea
