benefit trooe fee that the 23 he million dollars no, that's will apply to all other central selma projects to meet the public facility needs but not this project do they propose to allow the space for nonprofits no, they proposes to keep the one hundred and 37 millions for themselves oneself you know how we feel like that i've got to turn that detain don't approve that-had a of that windfall should be returned to civic benefits and that's enough to have the building space and pay the communicated benefit fee.

recently, we serve an enabling number of families from the african-american community i'm here because it's simple i believe that the public hearing should be detailed until after the holiday season we've not received the draft from 5 m even though our community has 45 thousand specifically is effected by the demonstration directly and indirectly i've requested our experienced legal council who paid the participation in the yerba buena to help with the draft given the long term fire chief of san francisco and he concerns expressed by residence and supervisors and i'm respectfully asking the planning commission to provide a thirty day notice for a hearing to take place in

january thank you very much. >> thank you. next speaker. hi, i'm teresa i'm from the veterans center i'm going to prison talk about the prospective the 5 m has conducted community meetings and i'm - we would like to see more community residents being involved in this committee meetings and so i know that there will be more dialog coming up on this especially, when it comes to housing there's a lot of residents in selma that are in dire need of the how's and i'm sure for the rest of the city this is a big project we of time to see more affordable

housing for summer residents thank you. >> thank you. next speaker. good afternoon. my name is a prescott a project manager for a nonprofit and employment training center over 4 years in the south of market area i'm here to speak on the development about the designing and engagement process it first of all, i understand the need for the process in the city i know the city has to deal with reducing the green house gases around transportation now the biggest concerns are looking at whos businesses are they currently living in the south of market or benefit others ii mean those people coming out san francisco this should be catalyst project and

so first and foremost this project needs to be about those currently in the existing communities there's been community leaders that talked about the community that i think people are sparesly tenant and be more outreach to people first and foremost is john talks about looking at the projects that take advantages of the selma and not in deep conversation with the contingency how to benefit there needs to be a bigger allocation as well as nonprofits sector office space and really more integration it is how this is going to effect the use there's not a lot of services as well as space for skids to be active in that area we were looking at green spaces that is mostly a passive green space that's not how the space a used within active spaces within the area

moving forward there needs to be more engagement from 9 community and focus on existing people in the community as opposed to people coming in the area. >> (calling names). >> hello, i'm shawn i'm a member of the champion senior center i was neutral before i spoke to a couple of people and heard some of the addresses i changed my opinion after they talked about how to have affordable housing is is a little bit over 20 percent i shadow there they said it was 2 hundred plus and 47 were affordable i've been looking for affordable housing now for 4 months i can't find it

on the streets for retirement so i change it from neutral to favorable thank you thank you. next speaker. good afternoon, commissioners angelica with the south of market community action network it's not a question that definitely for are city has been doing it's due diligence to talk to the community but there's a lot of things we have questions from affordability to the open space to jobs and many other things i want to critique a lot of the meetings they've been in english and the ones i've been to you provided translation to the filipino community so there so i want to remind this commission increase a heavy population of filipinos and

latinos in the community that's not been informed about the project and those meetings are very limited to what we can think about for example, one of the meetings i want to an november 6th we that finally had tagalog translation because they finally hired a staff that spoke the language we were told we needed to talk about the 25 million and 10 million community benefits and that's it but this projects is massive not a something we should sit on and noted really think about the impacts of the neighborhood and this is bigger than rincon hill we had to face in 2006 so with that request we request this item be continued and have more community discussion and

that's in multiple languages the developers should know the city is diverse and shop having their meetings no english only. >> thank you. next speaker. >> commissioners joseph for the community action network i'll speak on the next item. >> is there any additional public comment? >> yes. i'm jane wild i live on mission street between 7 and 8th i've lived in mid-market for 20 osteen years and my daughter also there one block away from the 5 m project i know the neighborhood i'm on the board of the central market and the prozac mission and the better

market cac i've passionate about the neighborhood i know a lot of aspects about it this is the heart of the city it is part of the work of all of us that are involved is to try to preserve the commercial and the residential and the left to right industrial while you encouraging positive development we're not against development we needed to manage it carefully so we don't destroy the heart of the city we're not downtown we're not transbay but this is an attempt to bring downtown into the neighborhood and it is totally out of scale with everything that is there it's a distorted sighing skyline building a city within a image is outrage it's invaluable what we are got interest we're a mixed neighborhood we've got mixed income and we love living

there we don't want to cluster a 40 soft story building i used to work for architect i served on the board and trained by the department of the interior that's architect testimony was impress they don't design away shadows or design away inappropriate uses of the eery ask you to please not spot zone and allow this this power developer should adhere to the regulations their begins the zoning limits the rest of us must adhere to we welcome housing and development we request you consider if it's appropriate thank you very much for your time.

>> thank you. next speaker. >> sue hester i've had my office at town and market for 35 years 1 or 2 blocks away, however, you measure it there is been a state of really big land use proposals that are going through in that area at the same time one of them is an actual rezoning central selma and this project and there is a mid-market rezoning to upscale to 2 hundred feet and above from my building down to leavenworth street and you're not treating them as rezoning and they are when we went through the process of the

eastern neighborhoods and rincon hill and everybody else e everywhere else there's a separation from project and planning this is one big thing dumped into the same hearing and one big thing dumped into a seven hundred page document which is the next item we need some respect in this area there is been no consideration of low income populations in the tenderloin and in the south of market there existing people people have offices and have operated residential and retail businesses in this area for as long as i've been in the city more than 35 years in my office so when are we're going to set

back and is you don't plop a development proposal and is here we go our comments you have 45 days and in the meantime have a series of the decisions you have to make about what is the nature of this area of the city market street and mission street two big huge corridors this is a street pits another transit corridor their easily blocked up and we have to instead deal with individual comments on an eir? when are you going to do some planning p l a n n i n g really you're a planning commission not a project for the commission thank you.

>> >> next speaker. >> staff person senior center at the fiscal community services i'm here on behalf of of our senior planters that currently reside in the 5 m area and those who will be living there in the future we are in support of the planning concept that incorporates widower sidewalks for the frail and elderly and residents because that will greatly improve walking assess to the very if i senior centers in the ear this includes the senior center we're they've and happy this concept and there's been

consideration for widower situations that's all i have to say thank you. >> thank you. is there any additional public comment? >> good afternoon. i'm heather i'm a south of market resident and the director for the folks on the street i want to speak in support of the project i've been sitting in focus groups planning what this might look like since 2009 forest city has invited people to participate how often people are participate is up for question i really feel like there's an a dialog that's been honest and open that forest city has listened to the citizens and made their concerns no one has

all of that been resolved not necessary but an ongoing dialog we personally meet our organization is existed e excited to continue we're taking a parking lot to make it useful for housing and more affordable housing and hopefully, we'll assure the whole community can benefit from here. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, commissioners peter cowen i have a letter to submit and i'll paraphrase it we e-mails this to you a few hours ago we'll speak to the environmental review i want to put this project in context what we have as a new normal for

housing balance of a minimum of 33 percent and specifically within that we also have a commitment from the city to look at the south of market and in particular, the central selma plan elevates the projects within that context we did data analysis to give you you an idea you look at the pipeline and the projects so you can have a reference point for on about this project we look at all the entitled projects from the department data the balance is 26 percent the inclusionary units plus one hundred percent affordable against the projects that are fully entitled for construction 26 percent is not bad it's been thirty percent the pipeline going forward is there's a lot of market rate

compare that to the inclusions and we're down roughly hallway of the thresholds so whether the current 26 percent which is an increment below the third or the pipeline projects that are going to be approved over the next year there's a whole thinking about the project how do we help to realize that minimum 33 percent as part of the central selma plan is the big question not to critique but 0 a they've done generally good projects the pier 40 they said themselves it was a mark for affordability in the upper market with the citizen add on we worked with the forest city and got it designed so we know this developer don't above the normal

and with the general indication a new housing balance standards concept for the city we implore you to think about >> is there any additional public comment seeing none, public comment is closed. on item 11 i'm sorry commissioner commissioner antonini >> thank you i just have a staff question there was one commenter having a hearing in the future obviously that is only an informational presentation a draft eir meeting and a comment for that and obviously other hearings before approval that's already taken care of and that's correct we would be n envisioning returning back to the commission depending on the time to respond to the

question in the eir sometime in the early second quarter of next year but subsequent hearings before the planning commission as well as the board of supervisors on the various entitlement actions for the project. >> thank you just to those who spoke about more outreach, more domiciling there are a lot of dialog coming up we don't want to get to the second quarter of 2015 when it comes back to us for approval and is well, there wasn't any the sponsor is interested in talking to certain parties i'll courage you to this is the time to talk about any concerns you may have and get it done before we get to the approval process and obviously changes made in the plan as a got rid of hopefully for the better but my

noticeable take this a very, very good project years and years good market street was the dividing line and industrial to the south was with housing included too many of the uses that were there no longer functional and this parcel where no one it in the parcel much of it is parking lot by most of the standards we've heard is not anything anyone wants as a surface parking lot theres a project for a good development it should be everything we're hearing is to pit business and housing together in dense locations to eliminate the further destruction of outlying lands to necessities people to

drive distances from where they're working and it promotes automobile use it is a from him development and it is interesting about this development and we haven't seen this in another development is the fact it blends office and housing and retail and office space in one development and unlike many that are office developments or housing developments you know this is sort of has the whole panning as i see so i am very interested in learning more about it but i think you know the initial presentation is very encouraging to the architect they don't necessarily need to answer but you spoke about i believe there are two residential, two office building i think the architect only spoke about one of the office buildings i i don't need the detail at

this time but a second one from my reading the uses of the two buildings that are going to be preserved and for project sponsor you spoke about one of the buildings being rebel you how's is there housing on site? >> commissioner yes there will be for sale housing. >> okay. great thank you very much. >> numbers on the office scheme are interesting there's almost the exact well, not exact but very close to a balance in square footage between the housing and office use that's unusual and we'll talk about the dr to mitigate the housing impact because there is so much housing there thank you.

>> commissioner moore. >> many of the publics comments resonate well with me while i considered to be a wise move to introduce the project where it stands before an eir decision whale the comments are being made i believe this project is doing certainly things well and it has internal dialog and focus about the earth but the challenge i would like to weigh is this project lacks a larger dialog with the surrounding projects still to be realized central selma study i believe that that project need to be able to respond and deal with all aspects uses and height, open space connections, pedestrian and other issues not three or four acres of land as

an island are i do believe that forest city is an extremely thoughtful developer there's been spent e spending many years in terms of the project in front of the of us has been done they can't gave me in the dialog they've done it on pier san francisco but they can do it well here this project fits into areas of change roifb and the transbay center and the central selma pd i believe this particular project because it is an already very well advanced architecture project needs to be able to addresses those things and be responsive to the details i want to leave it with that

there are many things i like including how forest city went about engaging the whole process with one outstanding question. >> thank you commissioner richards. >> i met that forest city and talked about the project i do a lot of thinking while i laid in bed to go over additional things i talked to foster city i work with on on market street it's a positive experienced and also impressed with pier 70 i definitely support of the development and actually worked around the site by myself and learned a lot it was a massive project actually walking through there i didn't see forest city that was yesterday it seems like two days ago but it has the controls the exceptions i

appreciate the variety of materials i think life in selma is in it's alleys tests important last time when i was there 0 no one was hang anti under the tunnels only on marching street i have a concern about replacing one bad tunnel with one replacing one blight with another that's my insight i found myself 1789 and i look at kind of trends and styles in the buildings and office spaces and things i sat in absolve fields and in selma valley i wonder how long you know offices are going to be in style i look at that and
