there's been a lot of super issues that have happened cross the country but i think that can only happen in san francisco the mayors on board and the city hall it's an incredible outpouring and i love how san francisco is in the spotlight here and people around the world sending their love to san francisco. you kids we thank you for your encourage and we wish we can erase the pain we hope this is the day of magic and that you'll remember this forever. bat kid forever in san francisco >> san francisco is unique in this way and it's part of our compassion and we have a civic duty to be involved and people
11:10 am
are stepping forward if in huge way. it's about san francisco and it's inspired by miles and about every child who has a severe ok call this meeting to order today is december third at 108. commission members when i call your name commissioner ellington >> present. >> all the members of the commission are present. 2 announcements. the next scheduled meeting will be a regular meeting on tuesday
11:11 am
11:12 am
of unfinished business. we have no items. consent and regular agenda. we have no items. the next order of business is item 5-a presumed innocent a lease agreement for block 7 west and the university of california san francisco and housing partners. an to construct 200 affordable units. madam director. >> good afternoon to the
11:13 am
members of the public. thank you for joining us. you approved in june of this year a redevelopment loan. disbursement condition of that loan provided for actual disbursement could only come once you approve the amendmented dda so that action is before you from block 7 and assigning that to mission bay block 7 housing partners and i'd like to ask catherine -- to present this item. >> good afternoon madam chair and commissioners. today we have one resolution action the
11:14 am
approval of 2 documents and lease agreement between ucsf transferring an existing dda to the develop or and basically taking that dda and modifying it to reflect the current project which would -- as the director mentioned it is comprised of chinatown i refer to them as a single developer. mission bay it's located on 4th street north to the south china basin to the north and then block 7 directly abutting to the east. this is the result
11:15 am
11:16 am
11:17 am
five million dollars and also the commission approved the agreement and amendment that allows us to have the block 7 go directly to the developer for construction of temporary housing for families going through treatment at ucsf and permitted to assign the original block which still exists to the developer for 200 units on the remaining site of block 7 and ucsf has agreed to prepay under the existing dda a. which is tied to construction of the second phase of the hospital. that won't start until otherwise would not be
11:18 am
due until 2035 onwards. 2.4 million 20 years early ucsf would be allowed to assign the dda to the developer and that amendmented dda would be 25 percent of the units on the block with the 7 west project to give preference to employees of the healthcare institution and liabilities under the dda so as i mentioned this gives us a 2.4 million about 20 years earlier that anticipated otherwise and paid march of this coming year 2014 or as we'll talk about later in the presentation if we're required to get additional approvals from the board that don't come
11:19 am
in until after march 1st ucsf would pay about a month after those approvals came through so the first document you have in front of you is the assignment of assumption of a lease agreement transfers the document in its current dda directly from ucsf to -- with the requirement of prepayment of 2.4 million with an eligibility preference for 25 percent of the units. back in june the original proposal of about 33 percent had preference the commission had expressed concerns about that number so we reduced it to 25 percent so the second document in front of you once we have gotten that dda over to the developer
11:20 am
amending it we would end up with 200 units and because we would now hold the land versus having sold to ucsf that allows us to ground lease it to the developer so the unit. would also comply with the city's affordable housing guidelines first priority for all the units would be given to preference hold ers including those the 25 percent that the public employees would have so if you worked at general hospital you would get first priority for 25 percent of the
11:21 am
units. retail private open space we'll get to more detail about the design in early january. approved a redevelopment loan. no money could be disbursed until the dda is approved. this in conclusion staff recommends approval of both assignment of the original block to the developer. the developer will come back to the commission in
11:22 am
2014 and permanent financing and a ground lease and construction to start by the end of next year beginning of 2015 and the final determinationses from mission bay from the department of finance have had it over a year now but have committed to work on it and we've been getting questions from them so we know they are actually focussed on it. so that said they have had it over a year so we wanted to build in a backup plan if it looked like it was going to take too long. if they are going to be taking too long we may want to go through a separate process up to them so we're not hung up. we don't anticipate it will take longer.
11:23 am
so what we've done is put together revisions to the resolutions which we handed out to you with red lines recognizing that there there will need to be approvals and approval of these documents are contingent on that we'll be updating both of the actual contracts from what you saw in the contracts include that language and tweak the deal just to recognize that there's additional steps of approval that need to be done before they become finalizes. again, we feel this risk is very low. so they have already blessed our ability for the affordable housing. so this concludes my presentation i want to
11:24 am
recognize other folks in the audience that are here. pam simms from the mayor's housing office. >> thank you very much is there any public comment on this item. all right thank you very much. so we've all seen this topic quite a bit. there's a couple of minor questions and i'll pass out to my fellow commissioners. i like to start with the small easy stuff so on the resolution or the agreement
11:25 am
11:26 am
include an estimated time of when that may be and then a more policy related question so this is something i notice about the preference program for residents and it didn't jive with my memory and i realize now my memory was wrong so when we look at the after appendix let me say i'm really happy that ucsf was able to negotiate with you guys i think it's a boon to add to the affordable housing. i believe in housing for workers as well so with that said, i notice that the
11:27 am
third item for the categories of preference for the general public and my recollection back in june or july is that it was general san francisco residents and general public and working with the director it seems like maybe that was not actually in a previous document and i wanted to talk about whether or not that's something that can added maybe conditional to approval or something like that. >> thank you chairperson johnson. actually the san francisco workers were included in the committee approval and it was an oversight that it wasn't included in the dda. >> thank you okay so great. so is that something that's just a
11:28 am
simple edit? >> we'll include that in the preference so you have the certificate of preference category one and category 2 and category those who live and work in san francisco and then members of the general public. that was easy and of course all subjected to fair housing laws as well. >> okay. and i think i have one more but i'll open it up in anyone else for comments. >> i just want to add a comment your memory was right. and i'm glad that we can make that change to ensure that we have more housing opportunities for san francisco. >> okay. >> i'm very pleased to see that we've got such a robust
11:29 am
affordable housing project so i'm very excited that this project is moving. >> so the university discussed and investigated a variety of development opportunities to partner with developers and given the depth of subas i sidies required for the housing projects and lack of access to state tax credit funding, the university concludes that it
11:30 am
was not feasible to proceed with the affordable housing projects on block 7. >> thank you. >> okay. we had a question about commission's -- i apologize i thought i had a question about the developer's obligations or how the developers default so we're good. okay. so obviously i think everyone understand that the next big document that we're going to see is the ground lease and that will also answer a lot of our questions as to how this transaction will work but are there any other questions about the dda or release
