12:44 pm
space and that helps to activate the neighborhood and put more thought into the skin of the building so it differentiates itself and relates to the neighborhood at the same time. >> on slide 10 this is the new design that was prospered. >> no all the renderings are from the proposal except the ground floor plain that shows the january and the september clearly land january and september ground floor plain the rest of the proposal we're in the development process working with their team on a direction so we can bring the imply conceptual designs back next month. >> thanks. >> i have a question perhaps

12:48 pm
the san francisco redevelopment agency and 30 years a payment to the association agency for the use of supporting it project in the transbay area and resolution number make director. >> commissioners the one 81 fremont project is in zone two automotive designated that to the department so you know the transbay district has an unpredicted goal of 31 percent of affordable housing in the district that satisfactory the inclusivey there's an mixed neighborhood project we believe that will create an undue hardship for the blow market
12:49 pm
rate homeowners with that, i'd like to ask courtney acting project manager for transbay. >> lots of bays to present this item. >> hello, again commissioners i'm courtney the acting project manager for transbay i'm here to request a variation for a project in the redevelopment on fremont street i'm joined by the project manager jay. that's - (laughter) >> we're san franciscans. >> yeah. thank you. the project is located on fremont street north even if howard street adjacent to the transbay transit center as well as assembly bill requires that
12:50 pm
35 percent of the residential unit in the transbay area be made affordable to low to moderate homeowners and with the stand alone unit and 15 on site 14 percent affordable housing on all resident projects in the zoned area. the redevelopment plan gives the commission the permission to meet the affordable housing requirement if it results in practical hardship enforcement will constitute an unreasonable plan and their unique restraint applicable to the property it gives the commission the authority to approve a variation to secure the goals and the
12:51 pm
related documents. one 91 fremont street is a mixed neighborhood high i rise project in zone two of the project area designed by the j paul company it's currently under construction and was approved in 2014 it's a 52 story seven hundred foot tall building containing 4 hundred thousand square feet of office and for sale the highest 15 floors of the tower and have 15 thousand feet of retail and 16 thousand square feet of sub terrain parking spaces and in compliance with the on-site requirement the project requires that 11 of the 74 unit be available for low income families. the project developer estimates
12:52 pm
that hoa fees will exceed 2 hundred $0.34 thousand dollars per month are the are developer has requested the 11 on site variance from the demonstration the 11 on site be converted to market rate and $15.85 million for the project area. this project is unique in that it's the only mixed neighborhood office and housing development within 9 project and it has the smallest units and the residential units are located on the upper 15 floors. given those unique characteristics the creation of the practical difficulties will be there because of the hoa fees are already high will increase
12:53 pm
over time such as the original resident will not be able to afford those and it will have an hardship on the resident. hoa fees could not be adjusted and no help for the residents when the monthly increases occur as initial occupancy they can be increased without the owners and constitute a small minority and this will make owners sell their units. the con cared group talking about the market rate unit they've analyzed the demographic and supply and demand and comparable to develop the
12:54 pm
revenue estimates for the 11 proposed b m r unit. they concluded $13.8 million is the net revenue that will accrue to the developer. the $13.85 million is 2 1/2 times the fleeing fee under the dollar housing it will affect e effect the units within the project area ocii will use the money on transbay block 8 just two blocks from the site. ocii is on track to meet the transbay affordable obligations of 35 percent to date ocii has completed one hundred and thirty units on block 11 and provided
12:55 pm
funding for other units under construction on block 6 we have 85 affordable units on block 7 and construction will commence in 2015 other 2 hundred and 86 in block eight and nine they've facilitate 6 hundred affordable housing on block 2, 4, and 12. custom 86 the affordable units will achieve the transbay obligations. the payment of the $13.85 million as a condition of the granting the veterinarians requests insures that will not
12:56 pm
be detrimental to the public welfare ocii will use the payment to complete the obligation specifically ocii will use the $13.85 million to fund the units on a ocii evaluated site but fund 24 more units. again staff is programming the majority of the fund for transbay block 8. as required the commission approval of the variance request will be subject to approval by the board of supervisors and in capacities as the protective body for ocii because it constitutes a material changed in the ocii programming and additionally because the project is in zone two the planning
12:57 pm
commission and board of supervisors will consider approving the development agreement with the developer consistent with the action i'm here along with the property owners to answer question and madam secretary do we have speaker cards >> we have one and (calling names) >> good afternoon, commissioners thank you i'm with the council of community housing organizations here to express our support for the change there are clearly significant issues raised business owner around the hoa dues this addresses that problem we want to say in general we don't want to see this effect the mixed neighborhood to the rental building but clearly this is the
12:58 pm
out liar in the types of building we want to commend the methodology using a third party consultant to look at the opportunity cost and come up with a number will probably become a significant point of reference in our work to be able to point to a project that can contribute one $.5 million per unit that will go to building affordable housing in the area so thank you very much. >> thank you. any other speaker cards >> no more speaker cards. >> no other. we'll close public comment questions from commissioners >> i just want to know what is the expeditecy in the past the j p company has in building -
12:59 pm

1:00 pm
>> say that again. >> what else. >> we have subsequential 40e8dz in susanville and mother-in-lawville and own property in san diego. >> okay. thank you. >> yeah. what is the total price of the project? that is the cost of the project. >> no, no you know the project. >> the total development costs is there an estimate and again, i'm going to turn it over to it's that a little bit different in zone two a privately held parcel so i believe that jay paul bought it from a private developer we don't have the same information for the project that we have for other
