can see through the windows? >> yes, there is quite a bit of glass on third street. you will be able to see in the building but there is no entrance. third street wasn't an appropriate place for an entrance. there is no street parking and no place to drop someone off. it's better on mission boulevard. >> okay. thank you. >> commissioner ellington if you look at the model there, the long side, that's third street. >> i know which side third street is. i didn't know which side this was. >> mission bay blvd is in front of us and china bay is behind. >> thank you. >> you're welcome. >> just a couple questions. so i know in the memo that we all received there are some caveats to approvals that might have to happen to keep looking at the design even

after our action today. i wanted to jump into a little bit of detail about how we are going to resolve some of the issues. in particular ground floor activation. so, commissioner ellington got to a little bit of that when you were talking about entrances on first street. i would like to hear more thoughts maybe from the architect on how we are going to get to some compromise on ground floor activation because the parking is on the ground floor that lovely sort of courtyard which i understand is for private use. that's above people's heads on the ground floor and that does appear to be that activated particularly considering there is ground floor units in the affordable housing right across from there. so, rather than just leading that to some future point, i would like to hear

some ideas that many people have already had about how to help? >> i believe that condition was primarily related to third street. one of the challenges we had in designing this building was we have a limited amount of program to work with on the ground floor. we, i think collectively decided it was most important to stretch that along third street as the primary street and certainly not have pieces of the parking garage along third street. so that really left the pedestrian walkway on the side of the building for where the garage would need to be. what we tried to do is because it's hard to activate a parking garage as incorporated as much landscape as we could. the

idea of what we call these green screens is they allow the plant material to grow vertically on those walls and we've done that on other projects successfully. over a good portion of that side face a walkway. we envision a plan all the way up to the pit of the podium. >> i think, sorry, i think street -- design of street furniture is part of the scape plan and this question is for staff or for you. if that were to be part of the pedestrian muz would that be your design. i understand the orientation of the building, but i feel like there is ways to be more creative than having a blank concrete wall on that side. you talked about it a little

bit and i think street furniture is part of that equation as well. i don't know if that's part of your design or another? >> i can take a stab at that. the walkway is shared with the project and the larger portion of the pedestrian walkways is open to the space of the property. they have a little bit more room. we are going to be working jointly with them to develop that. we are doing what we can on our portion of it to make as much of it planting as much as possible. the walkway proper is right down the middle of the property line of the two projects. there actually aren't any blank concrete walls. there is no other exposed concrete. >> i'm just making a point. >> sure. >> well, maybe that's something for us to keep under advise ment because it's my

understanding that it has ground floor units in the affordable housing development. that might be semi private space. we can't necessarily count on the other side of the pedestrian muz to be fully public space. we may have to take that one back. i just wanted to hear some thoughts today. >> it would be open to the possibility of street furniture and pedestrian walkway. that seems like an appropriate things to do. we would work on that. >> great. next question on activation along third street. the ground floor layout has resident utilities along the street side and things like that. how r you going to be able to add transparency along third street. i know that's

something you said. i was wondering how that was going to happen. >> the more utility light spaces for electrical and mechanical equipment is anterior to the building. the spaces along third stories are actively use. the third street is administrative office and workers' and staff lounge at the corner of china basin and the southern end is more communal spaces. there is a large meeting room in the waiting area. some counseling rooms and meditation room. we have been able to internalize all the spaces. >> i apologize. you say there was no entrance along third street. it looks like one

here? >> that is a fire exit which we had hoped not to put there but working in the building department there seems to be no other solution bought the put a fire safety this. we are going to do with a we can to make sure it's not mistaken for the front of the building. the use of this building, security is kind of critical and it's important there be one point of entrance. after a lot of deliberation we felt that the mission bay commons side near third street was most appropriate. >> okay. this question is for staff. on third street along that block, what's on the other side of the street? >> the opposite side of this is an existing condominium oh. the bossa tour and they have

bottom retail. there is a chain and they are working on that. small market is what i have heard, but i haven't seen anything come through yet. >> yeah, the chase is already there. >> okay. thank you very much. are there any questions or comments? >> i just have a comment. the color is very nice. >> you need more of it. >> yes we do. i would say that general comment as well. that's a great design. it's challenging to properly mask something of this type of use on that block, and i think it's a great use of space for the most part. i think really good job, everybody. any other comments, questions? commissioner mondejar? >> a question for staff. you have all these conditions of

approval, so, are you still going to come back to us after all of these conditions are met or are you just going through for the staff is going to recommend all of these? >> for conditions we typically have conditions on. there is also some if iness of building. if we change anything to the significance of the design we would come back to you for approval. the intention is to if iness what you approve today. effect the frontage we want to emphasize that was an important facade. they are all important but this one specifically to how do you design the windows so you provide enough privacy so they don't pull the blinds.

if you just have blank window, the blind will be pulled and blinds will not activate. if you have transparent to have maximum kind of interaction between the building and pedestrians while still recognized that someone at their desk doesn't want somebody looking at them. we try to identify points to make with the developer to make sure these are important points to continue with. the idea is that we are getting pretty far in the design and it's not major changes to come back for. these are all if inessing at a staff level. >> thank you. okay. no further comment. this is an action item to approve schematic design. do a hear a motion? >> i have one question. how much is it going to rent for

some of these places? >> there is no rent. everybody who stays at family house stays for free. that's how we've operated for the past 33 years and that's how we will continue to operate. >> how can you afford that? >> we do all the fundraising privately from individuals, corporations and foundations. we don't receive any government help and we don't charge anybody anything and we continue to run that way. >> okay. you are doing a wonderful job. >> thank you. >> i move that. >> thank you very much. is there a second? >> second. >> thank you very much. madam secretary please call the roll. commissioner ellington, mondejar, commissioner sing, rosales, johnson. the vote is 5 ayes.

>> master plan amendment: the applicant requests approval of resolution for the cuesta al este master plan amendment. the cuesta al este master plan area includes property known by legal description laws unit 13, blocks 38-41, various lots. case no.: 13-410-00021234 approving a memorandum of understanding with the san francisco office of economic and work force development to provide work force compliance services for the office of community investment and infrastructure in fiscal year 2013-2014. and 2014-15 for a total aggregate amount not to exceed $278,000. >> thank you again for your attendance. commissioners as you know each of our major groups of project areas there is a significant amount of work left to be done in entrance bay as well as all of the retained affordable housing obligations. part of your scope and review is not only design review, but implementing the terms and

conditions of a contract that you approve, a core component of those contracts. we have goals for small business, both on the contracting side and the construction side and the proposed mou before you is the office of economic work force and development to help us complete this program. with that i would like to ask deputy general council and director to present this item and he'll be joined later in his presentation by owed. >> thank you director. commissioners, my name is jim more morales. i'm here to present the building of owed

for an amount not to exceed $280,000 broken down into two components. approximately 90,000 ford this fiscal year and 190,000 $190,000 for the next year to buy construction for work force compliance services. pursuant to 1fte full time employee that will be hired and retained by owed to perform this function. i thought i would provide a brief background on some of these agencies to provide jobs to san francisco residents and then turn to the specification of this mou and then finally to turn it over to pat mull gan , the director at owed.

as you might imagine to be able to provide jobs for san francisco residents has been a long paramount of importance and it provides concrete community benefits to people in disadvantaged community that might be displaced by current redevelopment. one way to provide benefits to the people who live in san francisco and live in the project areas was to provide opportunities for jobs created in the redevelopment and subsidies for the development. this project is supported in the provision that still remains in effect that emphasizes that redevelopment agencies and now successor agencies can provide a preference to project area

residents for redevelopment projects. on that basis, the agency over the years has employed a number of devices and mechanisms to try to fulfill the goal of serving san francisco residents who are seeking jobs. essentially these occurred over the years in agreement that we would reach with particular developers case by case project by project that would require san francisco residents to be part of the work force for construction. over the years, the agency collaborated with the city effort which the city also was very much concerned with providing jobs to san francisco residents and over the years over a variety of programs first source administration for entry levels, jobs for economically disadvantaged. there was a

jobs broker required for the office development in downtown to provide a brokerage service for city of san francisco to get jobs and funding of programs and jobs and training programs to provide direct assistance to the individuals interested in getting a job as well as referral or placement agencies. indeed, the redevelopment agency at one time directly funding a number of community bays -- to provide these services and was indeed in the last 6 years, 5 years, a high priority for the agency to fund directly community based organizations to provide services. with this solution and with the limitations on the agency

use of tax increment, these more robust funding arrangements are no longer available to the agency. but what we do have are the enforceable obligations that exist for our major improved development projects each which would require that san francisco residents and project area residents receive first consideration special preference in construction work force created by the projects themselves. because these enforceable obligations and i'm referring to mission bay south opa, the transbay implementation agreement and hunters point shipyard phase one and development agreement at and the hunters point candle

stick point all of these have the requirements although they are slightly in different form because as i said over the years, the efforts of the agency did require slightly different considerations for the san francisco residents. but at their core, each of these obligations requires that 50 percent of the work force hours created by these projects be available to san francisco residents. more than being available that there is a priority given for 50 percent of those jobs and work force hours to san francisco residents. in more recent enforceable obligations namely the shipyard candle stick point,

there was an increased emphasis on project area resident side and indeed in the shipyard obligations for the broader bayview community to get a priority for the construction jobs. so, the way that this mou is structured is that it's an attempt first and foremost to supplement the agencies and obligation and staffing efforts, not to supplant them but to provide what we used to get through some of the cbo's or other means when we had additional funds. it incorporates in this agreement with owed, the enforceable obligation provisions that relate to the hiring of local

residents for construction jobs. those are good efforts. the agency has always maintained a very high level of participation but did not require mandatory highering but rather good faith efforts and as if you look at the document and the enforceable obligations, the mission bay provision for good faith effort is very broad without a lot of specificity. where as the shipyard documents enforceable obligations are the product of much greater thinking and consideration of how to implement those good faith efforts and the result is a statement of how the good faith steps shall be taken and those are captured in your documents that are before you primarily in exhibit d to the mou and also in exhibit a

which is the bayview hunters point employment and contracting policy. section 7 in particular is the provision there that details what the good faith efforts require. transbay and mission bay have a broader goal. the attempt here in this mou is to take the shipyard candle stick point good faith steps and apply them to mission bay and to transbay so there is a relative uniform approach to administer good faith complains. in determining whether a developer or particular contractor is complying with these good faith efforts we'll be able to use the resources

of owed under this mou and the to describe those services, i would like to ask pat mull gan to go into more detail about what the employee at owed will be providing and to give a background on city building in san francisco to promote local hiring in san francisco. >> thanks, jim. commissioners, director. i'm pat mull gan director within the office of economic and work force development. we've been providing compliance as corresponding employment services for the mandatory local higher since it's inception since 2011 and similar role around the first source obligations since 2007. first source would apply to all our most private development, any projects and

excess of 10 residential units or more than 25,000 square feet of local space. local higher would apply to city funding projects. we have been providing the compliance on ocei sponsored projects since july of 2013. we have been providing employment services for a number of the redevelopment agency projects. hunters view since 2008. the third street corridor starting in 2011 and western edition in 2009. in addition to that we are responsible for compiling the federal reporting for hud section 3 obligations for the associated projects for the mayor's office of housing. so with that, with this mou we will then charge again or this

provides a funding source for a rec's specific to provide compliance on these projects. a role that we've been providing to some extent for some time right now. >> thank you. >> questions? i can go into detail? >> are you guys done. we have to take public comment. are you guys done? okay. that was an awkward ending. so the presentation portion. do we have any public comment on this item. >> one speaker card from oscar james. >> good afternoon director, commissioners. my name is oscar james. i'm a bayview

resident of hunters point and the first to serve in the 1970 in writing the original memorandum of understanding. in the mission from the model city guidelines with 54 percent community and hundred percent citywide. we are going to stand by it. we don't care anything about what the city has adopt since that time, 201, we go by what our grandfathers in 1970. anyone who comes in our community is going to do 50 percent community, 100 percent citywide and 30 percent are minority contractors. my point is this. the people who have been trained through work force development and who have been trained through these different union organizations what have you have been

trained as workers. being there is not a lot of work a lot have not been able to keep the union duce. -- dues. i would like them to have the opportunity to continue with the unions and the work force development agency and city to come to a reality. those people have been suffering looking for jobs. some of them are pushing shopping carts trying to take care of their families but they have been through these training programs. it behoves this organization to make sure those people are reinstated into the unions. once, when you come out of a work force development our city built, they put them in the unions, but then they don't have these jobs and to pay the unions, they kept the union dues, they need that assistance again. thank you very much. >> thank you. any other speakers cards? >> no other cards.

>> okay. thank you. i will start with my question and then we'll go around. so in terms of the one fte, can you talk about how that person will work with our grood friend george bridges there. how is that interaction going to work? >> we have a long standing relationship with george. we are already actively working on the oci projects. correct me if i am wrong, george's role is specific to lbe's where on the compliance position that we are funding right now will be specific to work force goals. so to the goals that the gentlemen just spoke to the goals over all. they will be working. there is some overlap between lb and

the local hiring goals and they are separate. they will be working more accurately with the employment liasons which actively work with the public and our various cbo partners towards fulfilling these goals. >> okay. a couple more thing. they would be able to respond to us. we often have request for reports on work with hiring and contracting goals and things like that. so that person would be responsible for providing that information in reports to us? >> certainly, actually we've had staff that have been attending the local cat meetings regularly to be able to respond to community interest and input on an on going basis and nothing will change and we'll all be available to respond to any questions and concerns from this commission. >> i guess more specifically,

there is hiring and other systems, i just want to make sure that this person is in their job description to get us written reports or charts or things that we need, those questions frequently come up here and i would hate to sign up for situations that are difficult for us to get information. >> i will always be available to come to this commission to present that information. >> to the public comment of mr. james, i think that goes towards your employment liaison staff to really work with some of the cbo's particular lau -- the yc to be able to provide additional services maybe to the people that come out of those programs. before there was a lot of construction going on. >> we are coming off a deeper session and we have some
