2:30 pm
one dedicated block. block 49 and that change makes block 49 an affordable housing site. on this map you can see the locations of all affordable housing which are yellow and the block 49 location in red. >> the sixth amendment hasn't turned anything about the total number and to be developed but the change will result in a 50 percent mi to be developed much sooner and it's spread throughout the development of the market rate project. further as part of the 6th amendment they'll pay any gap that's to fill the project and pay a $1 million affordable housing fee. if the conditions at 4th and the 6th amendment aren't set aside for the housing development and it
2:31 pm
doesn't happen for any reason than vertical developers will build units within market rate project exactly as it was prior to the 6th amendment to the dda. block 49 units are be made available to people who earn up to 80 percent income which is $450 for a one person housing or $50,600,000 and this is based on half numbers. the rent that they'll be paying for a one bedroom unit is a little bit over $1,000 and for the bigger unit, the two bedroom units is $1,265. since block 49 is structured similarity to
2:32 pm
affordable housing site, it's being treated like an oci affordable housing type as far as design approval. rather than utilizing a phase project that a market project will pursue. staff is requesting approval and we'll bring several -- legal documented for approval early 2014 when the project is closer to closing. lanar will convey block 49 to the agency at no cost and have a vertical lease disposition agreement between the agency and the block 49 housing developer and it will also a ground lease between the block 49 developer and the agency. for this approved before you the staff said that it's
2:33 pm
complete and consistent with the phase dda, the climate and the phase one design for development guidelines. as it's common at the schematic design stage there a few remaining designs issues that need to be resolved in stages. i'll give an over view of these at the end of this presentation. all elements of the schematic design went through a process which included several meetings at the citizen's advisory committee and a committee design which we received a lot of direct feedback from the community that was implemented by the design team. final meeting is september 9th and cc members concurred with staff bringing this application forward to you. at it point i want to hand over to creg with m-cal who will introduce the design team.
2:34 pm
>> good afternoon madam chair, commissioner hes, director lee. a pleasure to be before you. i wanted to introduce am cal and myself for those who don't know me. i've had a 20 year career in development in san francisco on the non profit private and public sector. most recently i have been before the redevelopment commission as a member of the commission administration and a couple of years left the city to start a bay area office for m-cal and i'm really excited to be involved in the first affordable development at the shipyard which has been a long time coming and we're really ex -- excited about the work and
2:35 pm
the way you've paved. we've got a great design team and we're excited about the proposal in front of you and the work we've done to date and we feel like with your nod of approval we'll be headed to breaking ground in the early part of next year. we're realry excited. i want to thank you forgiving m-cal the opportunity to date to work on its first san francisco project. we've been around for 30 years and done 40 affordable communities in the state of california. we still own and operate all of those so we're a long term player and investor in the community and we're looking forward to adding san francisco to that list of communities. i want to turn it over to our local community partner, young community developers, weldon and we'll introduce the rest of the development team and talk about the community process and we'll
2:36 pm
walk-through the design. >> good afternoon commissioners, director lee. executive developer and young developers. as creg mentioned there are other partners that are apart of this project with us so you have m-cal and young developers and bernard as the master developer and the architect and david beck and associated. just for clarification, we're managing general partner and we'll actually receive set asset management fee each year as well as receive a portion of vler fees and be able to participate 100 percent along the way to make sure our communities have opportunity for these housing unit and provide opportunities for the construction and the work force pieces and components that are apart of this project as we we move forward as well. but i do want to highlight part of the community process that we got
2:37 pm
here today so we did hold a community sharet august 29th and we got feedback from the community. members -- for example, a lot of families came from hundreds of you who have participated in the redevelopment so they provided their insight as well as members of the community and bay view in general and just wanted to come and support and really give their thoughts about what these units should look like in comparison to the rest of the developments on the shipyard. here's some pictures of that process and we'll see that oci staff participated and the architects and design team. this was held in the community right behind ycd build. they had an opportunity to hold this
2:38 pm
-- to host this in our backyard. you can see the posted, those were opportunities for individuals who participated in the sharet to give their feedback according to which section and what they thought the changes should be or what updates should be made. so just an example of some of the feedback that we got from the design, sharet and kevin is going to talk about this when he presents but comments like the building mass is too heavy, response to curved and center landmark element, colorful wood, flat screen with gaps and the response was more transparency as screen and too much feel and then the introduction of the recess and the response was building a mass too heavy. you'll see some of those responses and the
2:39 pm
changes will be presented in the design presented before you. but i want to highlight the partnership with m-cal and the rest of the team as we move forward to provide this opportunity for the resident and the community in regards to the shipyard and the affordable housing opportunity. i'll turn this over to kevin. >> good afternoon. kevin with david becker architect. i think what you saw was held in one of the buildings that we designed and it was a good event. i'm going to walk you through the design. this image shows a view from the hill of the building at the top of the noel of the shipyard and it has
2:40 pm
a nice use of the bay. one feature you'll see is a landmark to identify the building and provided a focus for the project. i think amabell showed this slide of where this is. this is an aerial of the shipyard as you can see. our site is in the upper right hand corner of the image block 49. the other two below are block 15 and 51. that puts it in context. some of the data on the project we have a mixture of one, twos, and threes as you can see there. the percentages of those units in the average unit size, the buildings is about
2:41 pm
$85,000 square feet combined with the garage and community areas. we're parked at 43 spaces and then we'll -- i'll go over the data. this is a list of the development standards for this site. as you can see we meet or exceed all the standards for the d for d in terms of density, coverage, we're below the maximum coverage allowed. we're below the height on a portion of the building that's allowed to the site. there's a parking maximum, so we're below that with the 45 spaces we're provided in the enclosed garage on the first floor. we also have bike parking, street loading off site is not required and then our goal is to meet, lead, silver and sea level for green building
2:42 pm
requirements. this shows the project in terms of is -- you can see it in the model here, it's two locking l's that has two exterior court yard. one opens up to the south which is the summer court and one opens up on donahue and someone can walk in from either side and access the court yard. the site does have great solar access and good access to transit and a bike path and it's up on the noel as i mentioned earlier. this is the site. the one on the right and then the one on the left shows
2:43 pm
the context on donahue. so i wanted to show you a few images here. this is an image when you're standing on fradell, it shows the landmark element. one of the things that tramont touched on was earlier designs we had, we had a form and feedback from community. they wanted something softer. in terms of the deep -- it's a metal screen. this form contains all the community spaces in the project, the laundry room, it has a deck at the top floor with the view of the bay beyond and then you'll see the lower level where we introduce another -- another comment was provide some wood at the ground floor to make it softer for those who visit the
2:44 pm
building. you'll see the height in the upcoming image. so the next image is down on fradell near the pocket park. here we step the massing of the building in and out as well as up and down. we articulated the corner. that was another comment from the community to kind of erode the corner there at the park. and then introduce some color accent on the project. also the windows step up and down and shift horizontally. and then the final images of you from donahue and kirk wood, we had the bays along donahue, we have stooped along that street so people can enter their unit
2:45 pm
along the sidewalk to activate the edge which is a requirement for the d for d and then we've introduced sun shades on this as well as a portion of the frydale. it provides shadow for those units facing this west orientation. i have a couple material boards up here that i can pass around later after the presentation but basically the materials on the building are painted a cement board panels, painted horizontal citing, we have some board form concrete as you can see in this image. the metal is a warm metal that we're using on the building. we'll have painted railing and you'll see the sun shades there that we're proposing and then the wood screen that's along the
2:46 pm
street on frydale which is a mixture of stained wood colors. juflt want to walk you through the program. this is a plan on the screen right now of level 1 which shows the ground floor and closed parking garage that's access off of frydale. and then visitors as well as resident have the ground floor mail room bike storage and the community room off on the corner near the pocket park. the next level is up court yard which is the winter court yard. we have one, two, and threes sprinkle through here. we he have the larger ones on kirk
2:47 pm
wood and donahue and we have the common room that's associated with that landmark element and that's where the laundry will be for the folks so everybody can get gather at one location, overlook the court yards and interact with the court yards on both levels. and then i'll briefly -- it's the same building plan. this is affordable housing so economic plan to the design of these buildings in terms of all the units backing and then we have the court yard or the balconies that overlook the court yards on each level. and then our partner in terms of associated architect is landscape architects so they're the landscape architects on the projects as well. i think one thing that wasn't mentioned was
2:48 pm
we are achieving the sp eagles in terms of our team we selected so that's a good thing. we got a good mix in terms of women owned business and minority owned businesses on the team as well. i want to just flip to the next slide. >> this shows a summer garden that people will enter into, visitors, it has an extear yore garden so people can walk up and down between those two spaces. we have places for seating as well as a lot of landscaping for the management of brain water and the
2:49 pm
selection of rain water. we have some bench features there and a plaza areas and we have the stairs and that's the input we received from the community members. it tells the history of the area so visitors and resident know real lae what happened in the past in this neighborhood. we did that successfully over at armstrong senior in terms of incorporating some ethnic elements in that project so those are the images you see below. and then this is just a number of images of the planting pallet and some of the features we'll put in the project, the paving, its materials, some images of the benches and seating and it gives you an idea of the
2:50 pm
amenities that's apart of the landscape court yard. at this point i'm going to turn it back over to amabell. >> thank you. as i noted earlier in my presentation the approval of those beautiful designed are subject to approvals that's addressed to the design team. the approval are apart of your resolution and include a condition that materials, colors, finishes and architectural details will be subject to further review at the design development phase and additionally they'll be moca of material and architecture details in an early phase of construction and it will be subject to staff
2:51 pm
review to make sure that the final product is in -- is consistent with the design we're reviewing today. we're required the developer to study the combination of sun colors. third we require the developer to provide basic descriptions for the use of the common room and to initially clip the room with very flexible furniture and to make a final designation for the use of these common rooms upon occupancy of the building and we want the resident to have a say in how the rooms are going to be used. we want to the developer to have the guard rails. as a
2:52 pm
last condition we want to make sure in the case of building corridor as far as high winds, we want to make sure the building will notify us and those circumstances will be implemented and developed. >> in addition to great designs, the development team is also exceeded the 50 percent. they have 52 percent of the professional consultant services being provaded by small business enterprises and they require developers to follow a program which consist
2:53 pm
tans of the contracting policy. the small enterprise policies. they must make good faith efforts to 50 percent of the opportunities to small business enterprise and contractors to businesses with addressed in the bay view area. and to date the development has achieved 51 percent. also very high participation of minority owned firms or women owned firms. the policy requires the architecture to have great faith participation to the bay area resident. these will happen during construction will be monitored on an ongoing
2:54 pm
basis. >> block 49 is following several developments that have open ground or will break ground in the upcoming months. it's anticipated including the csc members and you can read it in your pocket. there's a few mile stones that need to be reached before a resident can move in. there was a series of legal documents that have to be finalized. it allows to bring late or early construction. and six months before a project completion the development team will market the property in accordance to the marketing plan which is approved by the dda. resident can submit applications for a lottery that's going to take place in august of 2015 and that will follow a structure that is
2:55 pm
outlined which includes preference holders. lottery winners will move into their unit in late 2016. today schematic design is approval to get us to the first step of affordable housing unit. before i conclude i want to ask someone from the design team to hand the model and the materials samples to the commissioners so they can get a close up view of block 49 materials and myself and the development of the design team will be available for any questions. thank you. >> thank you very much. while we -- i guess -- pass this around i like to call for -- >> we can keep it up front so people can see as well. and commissioners will have an opportunity to go down and see
2:56 pm
it. i like to call for a public comment on this item. >> i have four speaker cards. the first speaker is moore. >> a tended the 40 plus meetings linked to the disposition and development agreement. and then i was very instrumental to see that former san francisco redevelopment agency, the most corrupt agency in the nation that we brought about the demise and now i see the same sha nan begans right
2:57 pm
here. first and for most i think it is dispickable to take item number 10 and have the community and others spend a lot of time in the hallway just because in the first place you couldn't handle some union work. now, let me tell you as a representative of the first people, no good will ever take place on parcel a. again and again while talking about an issue including this issue doesn't address much and going to design this and that. that's going to happen in the year 2016. i tell you right now there are some people who get the report of the readings
2:58 pm
from the bay area quality management district. the readings come from a company that is hired by lanar and right now in the neighboring area people are adversely impacted. no notices are given to them. we got the notices of the high reading. i'm sure none of you have read the readings, none of you have read the readings so to the architect, to lanar, to anyone who is going to do anything on that land, you got to address quality of life issues. that's what if anybody has the balls they should come here and say they're going to construct this. that looks like a very high density building that is not appropriate in the year 2013, not in the year 2014, 15,
2:59 pm
16, 2020. that's not right. finally as part of the disposition and development agreement, lanar promised rental units. guess what, the first amendment that lanar made was to get rid of the rental units so now you come behind trying to have some affordable housing where you can't put a king bed in the rooms. if you put a king bed you won't be able to move around. thank you very much. >> the next speaker is vincent. >> good afternoon, hear christian johnson, director of
3:00 pm
