the community builders will enter into a partnership with lanar if under the independent program the community builds will buy the land and do the job on their own. so staff has demonstrated it is complete and the d d example a and the horizontal hunters point shipyard are complete those designs went through the design process with the hunters point shipyard advisory committee in april and may have this year and in accordance the planning staff provided the comments and they've been incorporated into the design you'll see today.
4:31 am
we've made a handful of clean up and one thing to the process the former language only required that outreach to the certificate of preference performs were one hundred days prior to the first day of sale this is changed because it is advanced 16 to 18 months to the first homeowner sale this is for the ocii and the office of economic workforce development if you don't mind waving with the lanar i'll introduce our colleague from the lanar who works on the housing market it will provide us more easily and frequent outreach to the certificate holders making sure they have the opportunity to obtain a home on the hunters
4:32 am
point shipyard. now i want to bring up veronica from the architecture to talk about the beautiful design. good afternoon, commissioners and executive director. and chairperson johnson nice to be here we've been excited to be involved in the ocii project on the port and mission bay on block and now in the hunters point shipyard it's really great we're excited to see what's happening. this first image is the elements of our design i'll go through the designs slide by slide but you can look at the model as well as to ask my questions about those later to file in my
4:33 am
blanks i might have. the first - >> oh, i'm sorry can you speak up. >> yeah.. all right. so, now i'll be yelling be probably so block 52 has the highest point and the hunters point shipyard of the hilltop area your building is on the top it's visible as you drive into the site and allows for views of the bay. and as we start the design we typically look at everything the sun and the wind and the parks access to open space and you'll see from the diagram the portion of block 52 has amazing views from oakland to candle stick.
4:34 am
in looking this diagram you'll see buildings one and two their walk up without elevators have is s they have a concrete development and one ada buildings three and four are the townhouse they have their own parking underneath and the main living space on the first and second. and then building 5 is the larger building at the crest of the building it's a podium 5 style with parking lifts in the parking garage and a think a elevator building spectacular views at the podium level. here i'm showing you aerial views from each of the 4 corners
4:35 am
of the building to get a sense of the scale is at the hilltop and the townhomes and two flat buildings. the two place of residence buildings one and two their - they share have shared open space in their rear yard that bach back up to each other that's an airy building the townhouse buildings have their own private space either in the front or back or both yards. in general our approach to the design was to take to look at texture and simplicity i pilot to bring something quieter that has moments of surprise and burst of color a lot of the
4:36 am
architecture has a lot of architecture detail and ornaments we're looking at something to be a counter point to that. so here we go looking at gerald it rises quite a bit buildings 5 we were expressing the concrete siding in 3 textures to express that we have those vertical slices i call them there's the stacked balconies that have the rich tone that includes the deeply husz increment plastic the tiled back wall and the colored glass at the balcony edge the lower buildings you see the two townhomes we were expressing the vertical with the same material we're using the
4:37 am
same pallet but slightly differently. as you go to the other side of the block you'll see the other side of the townhomes and a peak into the moose we have the pops of color. we are also in this we were looking at breaking down the simple form felt end by introducing frame also corner glaze windows to soften the edge if you look at directly 0 above the guy with the green shirt we have a glass pit there we're softening that edge. you can get from the vantage point we wanted to introduce a back element it more organic so people in their townhomes will have something pretty to look at
4:38 am
instead of a of a solid wall it has a screen on the outside of it and in the evening it is grazed with a little bit of light it's eloquent and soft. we're taking advantage of the curve to have a curved element you can see the vertical concrete panel and theville even though slices at the corner where the joggers are there will be a retail we're going to have glazing but this is exactly what is been shared with everything so far. so here we go the color we're in
4:39 am
the moose walking along we were drawing on an inspiration we thought of an old european town where everything is simple and quiet but a lot of color that's the inspiration we didn't want too much color but we introduced balconies that are stepping along this so people have a lot of private open space for themselves. additionally this is private open space behind the units. and in order to really bring in shadow and depth we have architecture metal over doors. here's a view as you're starting to come around the corner and up
4:40 am
the hill along kurt wood we've got a ton of private and open space on this building so many views we had to take advantage you see the softened wall alongside the townhomes. this is actually, one of my favorite views you're standing in a park across the street from building 5 and looking at the podium that is accident south francis scott key podium that captures all the light and allows us at the lower areas we have unit we wanted to avoid any sort blank walls pedestrian wise so incorporated unit and each one has their own private open
4:41 am
space we've made assessable they can have the tea and it has a railing you can see there's some trumpet vines it has to be you purple >> and okay. fine it is. not inspiration originally for this design we wanted something simple from the inside >> surprising on the outside i don't know but goez comes to mind the outside is simple. we liked the idea you're walking along and all of a sudden there's a surprise your eye sees the vines and you see this color and people having fun up there hopefully.
4:42 am
so speaking of landscape this is sort of a composite landscape image it shows the podium levels to give you a sense of how much green there is here. one thing i want to point out you see in the center behind building 5 and the townhomes is a large green swath that's the treatment for stormwater and it is going to be plant with the graze and that will be at eye level they'll have the texture and the green that's another way to soften the texture between building 5. the next image is the podium courtyards so show you the planning we're working closely
4:43 am
with pg a to create separate rooms we have a kitchen ear and moveable tables and fixed concrete benches and pits. also at the edge of the podium we have apportions with a glass railing for more transparency to draw people to the edge. as far as the architecture slides yep that was them. i think 30th as a few things to say if you have any questions, i'll be happy to answer them >> thank you veronica commissioners feel free if you want during the presentation to look at the geoboards but it's normal for the design review there's design issues we're
4:44 am
going to solve in the latter stages and number one the exterior architecture mark ups will be provided for staff and the building retail area will be expansions and studyed namely parking and anything to be screened the time set backs and the corner of kohlman street and jerald avenue we wanted to study the design the garage doors and have a access to the garage levels unit that don't require passing through the garage. in terms of economic development ocii equal opportunity policies for the development in the shipyard having the workforce
4:45 am
hiring goals there's an s pe subcontractor goals for the vertical projects or the professional services lanar has achieved 77 fte participation to date and 84 percent on block 52 that's exceptionally high this is $33 million that will create seven hundred and 93 jobs they have a 50 percent goal of temporary hiring for san francisco residents with first consideration for bay area. and today, i think the local hiring numbers are 46 percent for san francisco and 28 percent for bay area district 10.
4:46 am
to moving forward lanar will work with our partners to hire the local folks and others next steps is the finlz of the portfolio it is hoover around 52 percent either a joint venture or fee. and after that a vertical d b.a. will happen prior to construction the design phases will be achieved and hoping e hopefully, we'll be done by may 2017. that concludes my presentation. >> thank you very much let's take public comment on this item. i have one speaker card al norman >> i think i've said enough i
4:47 am
know you were going to call me up on this. >> thank you, mr. norman. >> good afternoon, commissioners and the executive director. the community builders program is unpreened in the history of san francisco and i know all you have you i've given the program your blessing and here we are today to demonstrate when you give opportunities to people in the community they performance and surround themselves with the all the technology expertise that brought together to make this happen and what you're seeing this project is in compliance with our health department department plan and i've impressed with the color
4:48 am
schemes the architecture especially with the materials of construction with myself i have expertise so what you have today congratulations to norman and his partner derrick smith and if you could give your blessings this will convey a lot of opportunities because the community has declared we want to be part of the project and this is a great millstone thank you for your approval in advance and your time serving here >> thank you very much do we have any other public comment. >> i have no speaker cards. >> thank you very much i have a few questions i want to start with questions for the people. >> commissioner ellington. >> thank you, mr. thoreau for the presentation just a few questions or comments i'll not
4:49 am
comment on the color scheme. >> even your director is wearing purple today. >> beyond my control. i wanted to be sure i was in the purple. the retail can you go over briefly the size of the retail space and just the types of retail that may be appropriate for this setting. >> it's presidential 12 to 15 hundred square feet and that's the exact size will be based on further study to have a convenience store you guys know from being familiar with hunters point shipyard that shipyard is new and there are are not many retail you opportunities this is one of 2 retail opportunities
4:50 am
block one about a 9 thousand square feet retail but this is something that is like 23 blocks walking distance from the heart of the hill tape community. >> got you awesome. the next is about the parking i was confused is the parking on the lower opted and the units above what's the parking look like. the buildings one and two the smaller ones toward the north have parking blow the unit but in a parking garage sty and buildings three and four they have their own dedicated parking and building 5 is parking underneath so we have an electrical charging station >> perfect.
4:51 am
the community builders program when i first was brought to the commission that was kind of the program that was near and dear to my heart because it gives local folks the opportunity to take advantage of the wealthy opportunity to the community it's no a question i'm just want to make a comment on how appreciative i am of al norman and derrick smith with partnering are lanar and taking advantage of this opportunity >> thank you commissioner singh. >> thank you madam president. it's a very good color coordination so everything looks good >> thank you, commissioner.
4:52 am
>> yes. the color is fabulous purple most people say purple is my favorite color but purple and shades of purple and greens are bold and we're it is geographically located it will make a sunny expression how will it look in the evening i see the presentation it's fabulous. i had a couple of more technical questions maybe i missed when we talked about the community builder program that's a program we initiated >> yes. for phase one and two. just how that works i know, of course, derrick smith and mr. norman from the prior work for the city i guess i want a better understanding how that u you
4:53 am
know how does one i think it's a fabulous idea and great model >> thank you commissioner rosales. and the community build up program works the same in phase one and two in phase one as part of 2003 d da approximately thirty percent of the blocks in the shipyard were community blocks so lanar conducted a request for qualification to seek local developers to partner either with other developers or be on their own if they have development experience to work with lanar to do the 50 percent of the units those blocks have been laid out they have a community developer assigned and
4:54 am
to get a percentage of the fees and have lanar be the project manager and joint venture or individuals buy the land. in each case someone will have to sign a d b.a. with the agency after the appraisal thirty days this trial they'll decide which way to go either to be alone or partner with lanar while enter into a d b.a. >> this is the first time we've we're working on this plan. >> this is the first time they'll decide whether to act on their own or but they opted to be on the program they didn't
4:55 am
feel they had the wherewith all but those folks have the experiment so they're working with lanar. >> great. >> and certainly through the chair the benefit of this program it unique and i don't believe is anything else in the country we repeated it buy it out right or fee developer with the depending on the experience and expertise or desire work with the master developer lanar this is the first thing it an out right purchase they're looking to purchase out right as well. >> excellent. >> commissioner mondejar. >> thank you. i wanted to know what everyone else said about the color scheme
4:56 am
i love purple and like the plants and it makes it feel like home. i think i hope we attract for families it feels like, you know, they would like to go home and be around that. i had a question about transportation i'm looking at this is a 4 hundred some units there's one hundred and 48 parking spaces and bike spaces can you speak to the transportation what we're doing the plans? >> absolutely. and i'll let someone from the developer add something will the shuttle bus for the home 51 and 54 the muni number 19 runs into
4:57 am
the shipyard it is a regular bus and is that expands and their service captains 10 or 15 blocks away is the light rail and on the southern side of the cripp gate i don't have a great map but there's other busy bus lines in the 50s resit down back into the community and there will be a rapid transit system butt put in so we look at the muni to install all the transportation that's required as part of the phase two requirements >> thank you. going to the retail portion do you have any plans at this point on what type of - any plans of
4:58 am
what kind of retail shops you're planning on attracting you need to think about this the types of retail operations that are yourself planning to attract >> absolutely although it's early in the architecture planning stages there's been many, many discussions at the cac level for 10 years and the constant request for the amenities in the community so a variety of different kinds of consequence services like lockers for dry platt and laundry service and fresh produce of some kind of and but there are in the beginning stages to formulate things to the community things that have been brought up in the previous
4:59 am
years. >> thank you. >> thank you yes. i have a couple of comments and a few questions about the d b.a. and technical aspects. first of all, i didn't want to mention that i want to keep that moving it is is clear to my eye i've seen the pictures of block 51 rising up out of the dust it's so great 8 years ago i want to a meeting and nothing out there >> madam chair there's no dust. >> i meant ground. >> i know what you meant. >> dirt you can what i mean very water down dust. >> (laughter). >> i wanted to keep the number 7 item moving by it's great to see the buildings coming up.
5:00 am
i want to say a few things about the design and go to the d b.a. on the design itself i love purple but a real question as it relates to the color scheme what's our strategy for a color scheme for the entire hilltop in the hillside area i say that because i notice we're getting a lot of public input for the base north and south people wanted to see the variations in the mapping and in the color and not having just gray blocks of concrete and one of the ways the architects probability ms. hendricks another architect got around that by adding correspond to the typography to address their concerns but
