the fingertip is proposed during the public notification period we received two comments the first was from margaret filipinos the alliance for 2nd district that go wishes to establish a gym and no concerns regarding the project the latter was received after the draft motion but i've printed the e-mail forwarded to the dependent on december 16, 2014, the establishment of that gym requires they retain a permit and in the urban if i could mixed district up to 4 hundred feet are planned a conditional use authorization are required

when going beyond the project this will not change the fingertip of the building this is providing a use and currently within a vacate tenant space that concludes my presentation. and i'm available for comments show s should you have questions. >> thank you project sponsor. >> commissioner president wu commissioners director ram i'm larry of back in the day in her urban planning i represent fitness a new locally and minority owned business the two folks are san francisco residents worked in local gimmicks and their dream to open a local gym training gym the gym will serve the local area with numerous employees in the area

with pdr employees and many new residents coming out the area we think this is a great opportunity for a non-formula retail gym space was vacate whole thing it was leased to fitness but the brothers that are the owners the property to the so bone they're not mr. haney experts and didn't realize the sizing size of the gym will require conditional use the original use of the site was a calory over time without the benefit of permit it transitioned to a party place to hold he wedding didn't function as a pdr space or warehouses space they rented two fitness as merry relayed noted it's

before you because the size the conversion of a pdr space so a retail space in the urban mixed use it allowed as a right under 4 thousand square feet site would not be before you the improvements they're proposing are minimal we're not putting in high-end finishes this is an advanced studio it is very low key in terms of the improvements the investment did not precluded the pdr space leases up i think other than thanking the planner for a great job i have nothing to add i'm happy to answer any questions you may have. the project sponsors are here.

emotional and financial involvements thirty 32 i can tell you in recent weeks eave spent time defending our worrisome and sanity to people outside of san francisco that questioned whether or not buying a titled piece of property with a size and price and building one completely fined project makes sense in the backdrop of cities across the country providing million dollars dollars and those are the projects in california doing that i couldn't say we can't be happier since we did the mission bay we've been overwhelmed by the support from the neighborhood and the larger san francisco political community as a whole as well i have to tell you we've been expressed

with the level of commitment from our staff and ocii i think the project has benefited what you see has it's fingertip of their work on it and i mean that sincerely we are working with the community leaders and meeting with those with interests in mission bay we are positive about the momentum we feel we are very much heading in the right direction the real need of our presentation is going to be from our colleague i want to let you know we're here to answer questions related to the warriors our vice president of public affairs is here and

our director of public affairs david our project which you have and jessie the principle for us without further ado i'm happy to introduce our leader in the public project david. >> good afternoon david president of the earth thank you rick and david for this incredible introduction i'm humbled to be the voice of what's been a collaborative project and process for this project behind this voice is a thousand people that have been working hard day and night to bring you what you i've been pleased blessed to get to show you it's coming from 3 groups i want to highlight the feedback is on an

hourly and welcome back basis there's a team of engineers that are dedicating a lot of over time open this project those that team of architects and sdwrerz is specialists that have dedicated their lives and career to working on those projects and also a lot of local involvements has been a part of this effort and it's important i recognize the weekly feedback and the process we had with ocii i had to thank katherine for all the time she and her team gaffe to the effort the design would not be it is today without the entity i've enjoyed the dialog open a weekly basis beginning in the summer all the way up to this point on a monthly base we

have a portion of talking to the neighborhood and their feedback what they hoped it will be for the community and that feedback is also been very important and has shaped in a lot of ways so with that, i'll get started as david said this is the master plan project there are some things to be designed and approved that collaborative progress and those pro-people i mentioned will continue to help with the project david introduced the project last year 18 thousand feet in the multiple purpose venue and square feet of commercial office space i'll show you that there's approximately one hundred and 25 thousand gross square feet of the retail area

that will be a contribution to mission bay one of the things i'm month proud of what we've been able to side in spite of the development thirty percent of the site is given back to the community and to the public as open space that is actually, the formulate of my presentation i'm going to wake you outside the building that is what is happening people m people they experience those building we have 9 hundred and 50 car spaces underground those spaces have large loading docks and parking areas and all of that has been put underground so the above areas can be developed as assets to the city this is important in mission bay if you know the quality of mission bay it is an incredible

commitment to making this a great place i'm excited about that project benefits certainly it will be the first multi purpose event in san francisco a world-class landmark for sports and entertainment events there's a significant new property tax increment that will fund public infrastructure and affordable housing and trigger the construction of the adjacent 5.5 acre park and finally it creates a 4 thousand permanent jobs with commitments to the community what are the design goals for this project as i mentioned it has to be a vibrate landmark for the neighborhood and the city

we have spent a lot of time thinking how to continue to enhance and bring nor life into the mission bay he certainly we'll provide a mixed use to make sure the project fits into the fabric of the city and used all year and most importantly has a public space david mentioned it is a lead goal we're targeted and commented committed to doing lead accomodation we're targeting the no g h emissions and be immigrant with the sustainability requirements this is above and beyond local cal green and san francisco requirements and how do we do that through the demands like balanced parking and the mass

transit and bike parking green roofs and zero waste procurement and energy cac and other alternative sources like solar on site generation all right. so with those points out of the way let's talk about the design something i feel passionate about and hope to bring that to light today the fabric of mission bay if you know it is very wonderful tall buildings and that's part of the planning the design for development it yields texture let's say to the urban fabric we intentionally and with the help and support of katherine's group at ocii looked to do something nor organic i want to

talk about that and you can certainly ask questions we had 3 large building elements the arena and the two office building we wanted to balance the location and the adjacency so it if create negative space around this instead of setting the site up we actually set it up over and over gangly allowing it to flow for having seenly would the arena located also let's say slightly to the billboard site that freed up the site on third street this was really key to us we looked at the site in a number of different ways we located the arena we balanced the public

space around it what we did was establish a series of pathways that are more organic and flowing and interesting to use than the lines of the overall fabric of mission bay so that leads us to the current matter of the plan quickly the ocii you see on our screen all right. very good so the 18 thousand feet arena is located generally slightly toward the south and east and rotated it does a number of things by rotating the shape in the arena we opened up a closet space on the southeast corner for entrance it yields a more comfortable and adequate area on

the site for the northern northwestern podium and locating a smaller podium on the south west corner we maintained the center of the site off third street working around the site i'll point out some heights that's a key part of the project the two office towers are will not exceed the height limit of one hundred and 60 feet that's the d requirement, of course, the podiums max out at 90 feats event center the arena is much lower than that it tops one hundred and 35 feet we've done a lot of things around the height of the building to make the massing and the scale for massing and not to create tall walls i'll walk you through the

dimensions we have the hall or the market it is a food eccentric development we look forward to programming that right now, we're thinking it is a community-based food amenity that helps with the park on saturday morning you might be able to go and get breakfast and have a picnic in the park and then spinning around the upper areas of the are corners we're calling the mission bay area isn't it so an elevated element of the project that leans out over the city and the bridge and also on a lower level down into the arena as a club for arena guests most importantly to are the spaces between the building the largest one is the main placing and on 3rd street the north west

plaza and goes to the southeast plaza i've mentioned before those pauthsd look like this just talking about the way you can circulate around the building without having to go into them let's talk about bike access for a second we're intending and targeting to exceed the minimum remit for bikes we want this to be healthy and environmental friendly place to go to and we're certainly welcoming more bike parking transit access one of the things we're digested excited about is the convenience to get to it in was other than our automobile situated near the muni stop on the corner of the site and it's

well situated near the greenway downtown ferry terminal expansion and, of course, the cyclist track height and bulk this diagram brings it to light the massing the tower with the events that are - am i done >> you have 30 seconds we'll give you more time. >> basically a couple of minutes. >> i do be pleased to go more quickly you can read the massing the project and the dimensions and what i'm going to do quickly i know you have this presentation go through it on our on i'm going to walk you through the site beginning on the northwest corner this is the mass transit planned lapd's from

the muni stop a large number of people gathering there and a comfortable space like an open area for people to arrive on the site and move up into the main plaza this is the front door of the arena this is the front door for supporting events this is the scale of the space particular is a union square or rockefeller center for the city on programs we will be an programs important seasonal activities and quickly a pathway that connects about 25 or thirty feet wide with detail that connects you around the site slowly to an 14r5e89d platform that overlooks the water you work your way up to

the concourse and to the main part of the water i'm moving quickly the southeast corner is the secondary entrance and it is for the smaller sthaerts that can be hosted and again on around the south west corner two ways to get up to the southwest corner called the at&t trump through the arena and on the south west corner a ramp that takes you from the hospital building to the plaza so those slides very, very quickly with highlighted ♪ slide and this is the connection of outdoor things and quickly with some of the media rendering

that were unveiled last week i'm sure you've seen them i'm happy to answer any questions you may have. how the different elements are inspired with that, given the time constraint thank you very much >> thank you to the team for their prediction opening it up for public comment and then commissioners can ask questions. >> if i call our name for public comment when your name is called please step forward. >> (calling names). >> first speaker can come to the podium. >> hi, i'm michael a neighbor to the mission bay i live on mission bay boulevard and i personally am happy to have the

warriors come to mission bay but also to gain the world-class rather than with the shops and restaurants and for me personally i've two dogs i walk over there all the time and it needs a little bit of work so the new park in the presentation looks at amazing and great spot for the community to gather every on the off days for the restaurant and shops but to spend time together with the new park built it's great it offs so many activities. >> thank you. next speaker. >> hi, i'm ester a resident near the site and i have lived in mission bay for four years we love the design we're so excited i have 3 teenagers and we can't

wait you know to be able to walk down cherry boulevard and have something be there or finish a family bike ride and get something to eat it will be great for the neighborhood i love mission bay and i've enjoyed this and i think the warriors are going to be fabulous and for the neighborhood and the stadium can give character and bring activity to the area thank you. >> thank you. >> good afternoon. i'm pat valentine he i've lived in the south beach mission bay neighborhood and vice president of the south beach merchants association so i'm here on behalf of both of those i've been following this project tennis the piers 30-32 one of the things as a business association as a merchants

association with our neighborhood association is work on activating our neighborhood with the addition ground floor retail so mission bay is viewing and coming on line one of the things that is important watching what happens with the arena and sdraths with the neighborhood also as a designation place for people that live there and for people coming there and we're pleased with how this project has advanced in this new way and excited about the retail about the marketplace they're going to set up it's important for us as neighbors and the merchant associations to see other replacement in the neighborhood and having it next to the park is also important so
