i'd like to introduce peter. >> good afternoon, commissioners peter can he get the t is this working. >> how much time do you have left 5, 4? 5 minutes >> first i want to say i've been involved thinking about pdr for some time and very excited is to be involved in bringing this project before are there are a lot of issues that we sorted through and thought-out very well in n this project about bringing office and light industrial pathotogether this project is an exemplar for possibility and i think also it's done in a way that provides a benefit to the neighborhood and welcomes the neighborhood in site i think you're familiar with the because of potrero hill

and it's right there surround by cac so we're nested with cac that seeks the opportunity for us to create a linkage with them the existing site didn't have a lot to speak of channel is closed off where they store r vs and hooper is in a great state of disrepair this is a walls inaccessible site so there's really a great opportunity to bring this back as a meaningful piece of the neighborhood our comment for the building starts with thinking about the history of american industry that's an albert connecticut building those are working horse

buildings that served any masters we want to create something that go really going to support all kinds of uses over time so just quickly going through the evolution of the project that's the available mass we wanted to on it up to provide proper light and air and wanted to create a public space that links the neighborhood to the use at hooper and cca and take the public spaces and link them to the network of spaces in mission bay the green spades there so we introduce what we call the alley which makes that linkage and then think of hooper and alley alleyway as pedestrian spaces bicycle and pedestrian friendly and move all the loading and

trucks and box trucks to the reestablishment channels a nice use of friendly pedestrian and that kind of more loading were added uses then we make linkages through the block to make sure there's pedestrian assess to the larger block and worked with staff at planning to reduce the massing of the building and articulate the openings of the mask of the building the result is kind of a workhorse of american people industrial building you you can see it butts on the sprayer pdr outdoors on the ground floor and they were quite high their 18 foot 3 high they on up around

the building to activate the space and looking at the plaza you're looking at could be a pdr use that has food service like side class or magnolia as an example we envision that is as energizing the plazas so as you can see the kind of stent of the pdr it really wraps hooper both sides of the alley and vascular has a large present on 7th street all those locations can allow accessory retail and each of the pdr spaces on the alley have on up doors to connect to what's happening in the alley and in the europe left hand corner is the multi story pdr building

so this plan, which is a little bit light shows the loading strategies he have two semi docks sgrarthd into the channel we have box truck parking and 86 off-street parking inside the building and 22 on off-street and showers sgrarthd in the building. >> your time as expired we'll give you a few more minutes as this is the transportation linkages to the project you see it is well served a 10 minute walk to caltrain their linkages to the 19 polk and fillmore and the 5 e fillmore within walking

distance and the project sponsor will provide the linkage to the bart station and conflict and the third street rail and the eir showed in significant traffic impacts so as you can see the public plaza we see it as something else that kraits creates a place gather there's a large event space to have makers or an event place to pause and sit it's, you know creates a really in what capacity amenity it is a straight up concrete this has a scheme that's a mod listed system that's intended to

breakdown the scale of the building and express the number of individuals that live in the building as opposed to one big corporate entity so the skin works to break down the scale you can see hooper street developed at a greener place for people to sit street furniture and lots of green the project sponsors have agreed at that underground the utilitys this is looking from 7th street as you can see looking into the alley the pdr space with the roll up doors and the bridges connecting the office above and the potential retail space and the products made on site can be

displayed or showroom or pdr detail and then the dedicated manufacturing incubator has a pdr place that opens into channel and the 3 block connection to the plaza beyond and then in closing this is a view of the plaza that really speaks about the project that brings together all the different uses on the site with the neighborhood and i that we're really excited about what this maples to the area and to the manufacturing uses in the city i think it is an amazing and exciting place to thank you we're here to take questions sorry for going a little bit longer. >> thank you for your

presentation i'll call a number of cards (calling names). >> commissioners ron some of you and i know i remember back when pdr was not in our lexicon a term that was actually invented by even though san francisco planning department and now we take it as something that is everyone should know what it means we talked about in the last couple of hours and just now about the eastern neighborhoods i found it interesting in looking at our agenda you had the last project housing and this project pdr within walking distance of each other it is exactly what is envisioned in the eastern neighborhoods plan when dan murphy talked to three and four it seems like 10 years ago he didn't have control of

the property it was a vision tonsillitis that's the type of vision we appreciate in inform this is totally underutilized where you're walking or biking it is not assessable what is going to happy is decade what should and where it should happy it is being designed in accordance with what san francisco made take their own building and which was not in existence in when the term was put button is lexicon with the large alley and the plazas that serves as an interaction space those of you who are conversant with current work environments

know the old cubicles and private offices are being torn down and have desks like this one that are there for five or six people or two or three people to sit around and discuss what they're doing that's what i envision with the alley and as well as inviting the neighborhood in this is an excellent project and royals our packets didn't contain anything negative for a change i urge you to pass it. >> thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> hi, i'm crying chris oirn i've been an employer employee in the neighborhood i'm a renter at the minnie storage site i saw the only posting on the exterior

x i did not see the mailing well, that may not be pretty with the existing conditions that's an important space and usage i use it as a you might call a pdr business i salvage bikes i've been could go this for over 10 years and actually, one of the folks that was here was a client of mine with thousands of bikes that hit the city without this service i think or think it's important i provide a low cost bike in the city and i would be displaced and others would be displaced business people that keep our material as a storehouse the businesses are in the center

core they need the materials to supply their businesses so this are over impacts of shopping stopping this low rent opportunity there i am an eco business and would be put out of business by b that okay. that's something to realize i'm no opposition as it sit right now if you look at the numbers 4 hundred and plus thousand square feet i've seen the traffic worse and worse and worse and you know what's happening in february the hospital is opening up you can bet when we had this on opening day and people visiting the hospital 7th street will be a parking lot it's a different use but at the same time to say there's no opposition a lot of the people that rent are

homeless and this is their home away from home they keep their positions in an inexpensive store place this is something to be given thought to it serves a social need thank you. >> next speaker >> good afternoon, commissioners i'm tim collin i'm not speaking on behalf of the coalition i'm here on my own no support of the project i should disclose that dan murphy sat on our board i'm here because of my strong interest in the roll out of the and were neighborhood plan we were strong sports supporter and i watched the last

item on 1601 mariposa the eir ordinance the eastern neighborhood plan plan and you've got to remember when it was adapted in 2008 the economy was going off a cliff and things crashed we went into the great recession we are starting to see the eastern neighborhood was pushing it's very exciting when the eastern neighborhood come out we got the pdr a necessary idea to support it deserves strong support we don't know about the uses that can't compete against office space we wanted to succeed here's an example an important test of this it appears to use the

inclusionary housing model something that's in demand you pay good rent the space appears flexible we're not banking on one income it could be moved at&t park and adapted the choice of participating with sf made a expiring the hottest stick out in town they've appeared to catch something something going on here that we can develop and nurture small-scale manufacturing we keep hearing when the american industrial center that was built decades ago it was a successful ecology is is going to work is this the solution to pdr who knows but we absolutely should try it it maidens and appears to bring all the possibility together in one

place and one time it's one of the most existing things about the eastern neighborhood in a longest time. >> i'm ross i've come to lend my voice to this it's exciting there are many additives creative and diverse it is a great creative force here a lot of people say things san francisco is not about tell him property about new rhythms and software systems and financial instrument but people that make and manufacturers things and they need space as you know one of the companies had to live they left it was a big loss

so we need more supposing spates for our corrective people and innovative i love this it hopefully is a new model for mixed use pdr tape references that's been done on the east coast and diversity is third add jif i want to bring up that's consistent with the project is we've become too much of a community known and technology and tourism we need to be more diverse in terms of was we're known for and creating great, great products in an environment

that's a show case i'm excited about this project thank you. >> thank you. next speaker. >> hello commissioners j russ johnson potrero hill neighborhood i'm here to support in project ii get to say something positive the boostered have scored it this project we were specialist of the special use district this project sits in and commenting about 9 flexibility how it helps with the square and the economy the dog patch association is xretsz it's support saying this is motel after the industrial center have a play in the development and success of small businesses and how the sources of businesses may serve as a

incubator environment in which the small businesses survivor the dog patch is in support this is the 34ukd neighborhood and this will add more flexible work spaces in this part of town and give the location next to the cca there's an opportunity to integrate the 10ur7bd existing zones and have the modular space that allows for the flexibility of different size of business and dog patch got into the specifics talking about the gathering places and the way those spaces augment the pickup and drop off necessities and how it is a space for everyone to walk through and be able to use the dna appreciated the green space from dog patch to the hill

from the merchant to the resident there's a broad support will echoing what ron is the eastern neighborhoods plan hopes to give us us. >> thank you. is there any additional public comment public comment is closed. commissioner moore. >> i'd like to call this best of planning sf made and you can interpret that many a number of ways i'll leave it as vague as possible a few years ago i was standing on top of cca that was in preparation for the update of the master plan and i looked at him and said david what are you going to do looking north. >> he said we'll walk the strit streets and was evasive as best he said i shouldn't pubic talk about that but some people have

interesting destructions but it was very vague and confidential this was an incredible opportunity and incredible views and incredible ways of setting except there was so moved so many holes and for cca that's a serious drawback you question the safety of the excludes and pretty challenging frontier fast forward the hot and heavy we were losing pdr i saw a strong co-leggings the pdr support we're talking about the protection of jobs and pdr are the same thought here we are today wlerp thinking about lose

end how to do it one of my early questions was and i think it was remind is there a building type to be too office and passenger door peter said i know be it can and i think if there's a will a way and that's what we're witnessing i wouldn't be more supportive and excited i guess i'm gufsh i'm in full support and admiration for the support this will be a national attention getter and how the rest of the world is landmarking to restruck industrial and the stories are different for each city, however this sets a strong benchmark of how we'll be

doing that thank you. i'm in sub support of your project and if i may i make a motion. >> sectional. >> commissioner johnson. >> thank you very much real where i can the first comment i want to acknowledge the public commenter it was a very, very hard project but i said to acknowledge it was a verify point of view and a huge supporter of the project a comment this is a pilot project for new legislation or new edition to the planning code i hope we'll see more example in the eastern neighborhoods the pdr business plan that is a key innovative piece of the legislation not just the building type but what is in the building and what are they going

to be doing i thought that was fantastic the only thing sf made is a top organization i know they are both industry 0r7bd and know the pdr space i know it is here now and also community oriented and interested in local hires for middle skill workers i will say i saw there was a lot of objectives at&t park recruiting and around marketing for both the businesses and also inform that get employees but i didn't see much on the reporting of outcomes how will we know they hire people from the zip codes around the area and those people got jobs i didn't see anything around the reporting of outcomes it is very much like how the local hiring is the best efforts type of legislation this

is the same vein because of the piloted project i'd like to see how that's going and if there's opportunity to strengthen that in the future i think that will be if anything the one with tweeting tweak go but i definitely supportive it. >> commissioner richards. >> one of the speakers said it it the innovative and creative and will create a show case for a lot of the people in the state in not beyond the city of to see how to integrate the two the pdr just creates an eco he system i was talking to the project sponsor if i look at the transportation portion of the draft motion i've mentioned that i missed that i take 22 fillmore

as a winemaker hopefully in the next generation of my life how do you 0 get to the site on a rainy day i know there's channel service do you only user downtown are there shuttles between the 8th and mission and all those places. >> there is a shuttle the mission bay shuttle that stops at the site we'll opt two that system and the mission bay system and drop people off at the caltrain station depends upon traffic if you take the 22 you'll on your umbrella and walk a couple of belongs as people often sided in san francisco on that subject on the 22 line as augmented there will be buses

every 6 minutes and they're looking at reducing travel times by 25 percent an easier proposition in the further. >> i'm fully in support. >> commissioner antonini. >> i'm also in totally e total support superosupport i think the underground of the utility is wonderful once that happens you'll have the choice of street lamps and hopefully put t up historical ones and the ones that the cobra heads in the 50s and 60s make my neighborhood look unpleasant so that's i think you can do that hopefully number 2 i want to shout out to my colleague he coincide the pdr phrase if i'm not mistaken and

for many years he was the spokesman for pdr for the discussions in the early part 69 1i7b9 and thirdly liam i'd like to compliment the legislators that put it together it's good legislation it created a synergy between office that makes the pdr affordable and makes the pdr affordable indefinitely as long as the office is supported because you can afford to take a loss leader on the pdr if you have the office to carry the load also the other thing that was piloted was $16.5 million in fees that will help a lot of things to go with the pdr uses and the office use as was mentioned i hope that is a model for the future that can be used as well as further to the south

the square there's a lot of potential and the other thing that's really important here is that the cash i can't that san francisco has i think historically companies even ones that are not here anymore like to make a point they were off and on in san francisco and so the gardell chocolate and they're making a point of their organizational the banana republic say their founded in san francisco their american made and they must be cutting-edge because they were created in san francisco because people see us as innovative there's a great potential for
