architects george and frederick hampton and they had another building in the lower left hand corner it had two wings at the rear with the glass. in 1886 they had a admit building and the union iron works built the admiral ship in the 1898 it went around the corners. it was nationally significant for the shipbuilding and one of the continuously operated

shipyards it was known for its ability to build and repair a ship and what was in the use of electricity and the fabrication process it was the best prepared on the west coast and had a scientific management to increase efficiency in ship building. in 1905 the bethlehem steel bought this and they built the first dry dock that's shown in the images was damaged in the 19067 earthquake and also damage that we know of buildings 213 and 214 from the 1906 earthquake. building 102 was built in 1912

by the iron works and this was designed by san francisco charles weeks in the republican as a revival and this is a powerhouse that provides the power to the shipyard. world war i by 1910 the union iron works what the largest shipyard on the west coast and before world war ii broke out they went through a renovation program and they became the first shipyard to build ships for the war effort. in 1916 bethlehem ship company built buildings that were used for mechanic compulsion systems.

the union iron works bethlehem shipyard expanded because of the contact to build two destroyers those were the first to be built in world war ii and in 8938 bethlehem becomes bethlehem steel and renamed the san francisco yard. in 1940 the iron works was purchased in the southeast and it built the complex its referred to as the new yard what we was responsible for the anti aircraft. by world war ii the shipyard reached full build out and

employed 10 thousand men and women working on the bay ships and in usa let and the shipyard closed after world war ii but it's the only tunly operating shipyard in the country. because of the rich history it is significant for the period 1884 to 1905 it is significant for its roles in the shipbuilding industry it's built with a architecture for the architect during the 60 year period. the district has 44 contributing resources that reflect the period and in addition they

central advisory group and san francisco architecture heritage and the museum and bethlehem she'll museum and the mayor's office of workforce development and the preservation and the historic presently and the state national park services. the creation of the district plays a integral part of the site it supports the living history of the site. the historic district supports the crane park that is for the only surviving designation. and the union iron supports the rehabilitation for the 9 telling the truth resources along 20th street including building 113

the oldest this on the site by providing tax credits. the district supports new in fill parcels like the 80 front site that will provide that development partner with access to the rehabilitation tax credits for their work on buildings 2 and 12. in conclusion, i want to point out this is a quick overview and for more detailed history you can go to the sf port.com the the nomination posted on the website and also our central visa cards group ralph has prepared his own website and it's helpful pier 70 sf.com and

last week the nomination is currently under review and we hope to hear back from them to hear if it's qualified for a listing by may first that concludes my presentation thank you >> we now have public comment corrin woods. >> corp. win woods from the central viruses group since the beginning of time. this is a very exciting momentum to have this nomination. mark has deny an absolutely phenomenal job of shepherding this through.

i know affidavit has also helped out on this and many other port staff. it is so critically important to funding the pier 70 rehabilitation. to be able to have those several tax credits and we're just transmittal excited and truly happy that the nomination end and i'm sure we'll get it >> thank you for you'll your hard work. any public comment on this item? >> hi, james madison with orton management we're participating with the port on a number of those buildings. i wanted to echo corrin my congratulate mark and others. it's a massive very detailed document we're excited with the district is being nominated and

it's an important part of our work for the tax credits congratulations mark >> any other public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. >> mark i'd like to thank you for a very well done presentation. i can't imagine there's any more history you've left out (laughter) >> thank you corrin and everything that's been involved. this has been a long project and anything we can do it help make it happen would be absolutely terrific. >> i also want to say thank you to the detailed report i have a question on the timing. you mention there was a pier 70 master plan and now we're doing

the nomination why didn't he nominate before >> actually, the nomination as i mentioned was finished in 2007. and we went through a review process through the state office of the national park service we got preliminary comments and it was decided we needed to bring our development partners on board first and to finish the virile assessment of the site that carol was heading up so we didn't lock ourselves into something we can't fulfill. we understand there recent specific resources rather than to mediate them to remove them from the site and understand

horrifying so that's the reason for the delay. it took us a while to get back on track with the nomination and bring our consultant back on board. in the meantime, the state office wanted to take a fresh look at this they were new and hadn't been part of the process going forward. i think we've bend from doing that because they actually got in and gave it a thorough technical review and because of that we're going to have success with the national parks approval and so the nomination norms of what was naementd in 2007 there's more substance >> yeah. and the

classification of the each features. such a lack of integrity because of the features evolving for the needs were altered but we were able to achieve a balance of designating some that we really can justify as being worthy and many of the others on the slide >> it's important in terms of the tax credits for the funding of the credits i was occurring on the timing would have been i guess you've explained it but not that i recall that would be the first step but i understand. >> i want to say congratulations mark and

everybody involved i echo the rest of the commissioners you know why not before why not today and get it done. i've personally been looking at that site for 40 years and know before i ever became involved that this commission i wondered why on earth we hadn't done anything. after getting two or three up close tours of pier 1770 it's an incredible place. i got one tour with james over there and walking into those dell less is walking into a great cathedral and just in disrepair. i congratulate you guys for doing this and also congratulate the developers that are coming in and putting up money to

restore those buildings to their original charm. for everybody involved it's wonderful >> i echo all the processes and thanks. this is one of the most existing projects and appreciate all the incredible amount of work. to sort of follow-up on our comments as to why now. it looks like we're xaventd some of the buildings in terms of the rehabilitation so i appreciate the deliberately approach. one question is there any scenario with the entire 66 acres might not get designated but designate a portion is that all-or-nothing or some buildings would they do that or the whole package. the short answer it's the whole

package we explored that. like corrin who was involved at the beginning the port staff said based on what we've learned from the embarcadero historic district which took 6 years to complete but we looked at various scenarios what about the building over 20th street and having discontinuous districts and the direction we got from the regulatory agencies state office the preservation said the ownership and history justifies it being the entire property. and so, you know, we might be surprised and get a response but baseline the guidance i don't

think we are going to hear anything different >> thank you all for your hard work. >> item 11 c understanding between the port and mayor's office of housing and community development regarding the development of affordable housing open 322 dash one located at broadway and front street. >> good evening. project development manager with the planning and development divisions of the port. i want to start by stating this

matter before you is not about the mo u it's the approval of a guideline that put housing staff will follow as the persecute of improving accident site with affordable housing. in the behind we want to leave the site to the job housing credits to offset the krtsz of pier 70 that you heard before this item. the story tax credit is not going to be enough you're going to need a lot of resources to make an it happen. i want to familiarize you with the site that's involved in that matter. it is looking at the corner of front and broadway and across

from embarcadero is pier 7 and i show some of the pictures for the location. this is the view of the site the site is on the right. this is looking north on front street as you're standing at the corner of front and broadway street. this next view is a quality view of the site but to the left you see pier 9 down on van lay street and this is a residential building and to the right. the current use of the site is a parking lot. it is in and near a historic

district there's no buildings on the site at the moment. and the besides being used as a parking lot it's providing the port with $600,000 a year that translates to 48 thousand a month. in addition to the funds generated to the port that's significant funds for the - one of the reasons we're doing the including parking garage to continue to generate the fund. the zoning for the site is currently c-2 which is community business and it's tagged residential with other uses. the staff anticipates this will comply with the component that

includes up to 1 hundred and 70 so 2 hundred sense housing units. the commercial exponent of the royalty component will be small between 2 thousand a 5 thousand square feet along with the parking the proposed parking garage. the connection between the site on pier 70 is what i'm to talk about next. as part of the event to find the funding to address the funding of pier 70 back in 2011 staff approached the park examination as well as the community groups to said they come up with a strategy that they need to

approach the commission and state lovers to find legislation that will allow the limit of some of the restrictions on the seawall lots in 2007 prior to that bill 815 was passed to allow for the lifting of some of the use restrictions on seawall lots on the north part of the seawall lots and that relatives to the capital funding that's required. following that in 2012 assembly bill 2649 was passed to allow

this seawall lot to be higher to the seawall lots that were added to 815. and it was a condition that the site should be made available for affordable housing for the mayor's office of housing. in 2012, the board of supervisors passed american people ordinance that helped with the prelims of those two legislation and he authorized the port to enter or to list the site to the mayor's office of housing of community development which i'm going to be talking i'll be calling the housing office to ask for are a job housing credit that could be used to offset some of the costs

generated by pier 70. most of those costs are from the development impact fee that needs to be paid. some of these challenges were indicated the state of this building the historic building on pier 17 i believe the 3 buildings are out of control they require a significant amount of money to get them restored. this is another view of the buildings building 12 is right there in the center. this is standing right on 22nd street and looking at the pier 70. those challenges include the

buildings the height of the story building the height and the cost of the building in the historic district and the environmental clean up as well as the impact fees. following those elastic and the ordinance given staff the ability to moved on this. we went back to the community to apprise them regarding the proposal. we found the two objectives which is to develop affordable housing open the site and use the fundraising for that to help with pier 70 pr since then, the port and office staff have been moving forward with the direction in the
