5:42 am
jackson i didn't come to speak on this issue but when i hear statements i have to make - come up and state something housing authority was mentioned i'd like to say to you all there is an organization a group it wasn't a group but your staff that came up with rad r organization d i wanted to give you information because of my involvement and in 1992 the vice president of the united states came to bayview hunters point because your tenants put together a management council that resident management council started back in the 80s and other statewide states but finally got here to
5:43 am
san francisco what that program was to do to train is retina to become managers, flaresers and contributions and all folks to run the housing authority the tenants were supposed to do that the hope program started in bayview hunters point from is fellow that ran the hate ashbury if a person was on drugs they were gotten off drugs and put into training all i have to do is get the information correctly but what occurred that was 20 tenants that was trained to be manager's 10 was hired and this was before willie brown who become the mayor the san francisco in 1996 and leader about those folks coming in i'm
5:44 am
talking about the mayor's office of housing for to purchase their apartments a lot of things was going on a lot of things going on for the people of san francisco i don't know how long people when i look at a building like this it frilgdz me because of the fact all of this area is landfill landfill if there's an earthquake and those buildings start falling nobody will be alive we vote back years ago that no buildings would be built in san francisco higher than 60 feet everything the voters voted office of the city administrator on went out the window oh we're going to do it another what you think about the people that will be living here i've been here 70
5:45 am
years i know san francisco thank you. >> thank you. do we have any speaker cards. >> public comment is closed commissioners yes i have a couple of questions, mr. lee yeah. i just want to know they're in compliance with is dw b everything and for the record supervisors to answer our question yes they've been working closely with us outreaching with small businesses and selection of small businesses as well so, yes >> okay thank you. >> second question is about the
5:46 am
parking how many parking you you know for one parking for 4 units you said. >> for the ocii funded unit yes. >> then what is the other people where are they going to park. >> well, for the remainder of the unit the ratio is .4 spaces per one space if you read lined up is design guidelines push to limit the parking we talked to the developer about that they ran some market studies and came up with what they throughout the parking needed to be what we're really trying to do it push the transit pedestrian and is bicycle along with the rest of the city is trying to do and our ratios are right there was getting approved. >> do we have other projects
5:47 am
with ratios like. in the city one parking for every 4 units. >> yeah. for when you say the city dooming is planning department. >> any other unit we have you know. >> certainly through the chair in transbay block 9 a similar ratio less than block 7 and 6 in mission bay certainly areas in high density it is immediately adjacent there's good access to transit and enhances transit in the future immediately with is trier of the facts of conflict and is city surveys for transit of the area should that transbay has the highest trips everyone is getting on and off bart and muni conflict all the trips generate from that and the worst
5:48 am
car traffic in the area comes and probable most people experience that first hand in the transbay area the reason why this commission but certainly the planning department and other city agencies have adapted this policy to less than one to one parking in the area to the best of our ability reasonable that's why we have car characterizing in other areas certainly in existing today more outlined areas like hunters point and candle stick there is one-on-one parking and in some cases more one-on-one parking access to transit for the future is not there it is not there today even with shuttles and circling bark to our question
5:49 am
ocii and other projects in mission bay yes. >> i'd like to have more parking you know but i don't know where i live everybody has four cars wonderful home you know but not have the parking it is difficult to park who is living there other thing i'd like to know who is in favor of affordable units we're going to be or giving or 0 do we have a list for that. >> yes. i can ask jeff white to come up and speak to that. >> good afternoon jeff white housing program manager so commissioner you're saying the affordable units but the bmr's
5:50 am
and is inclusionary in the tower and stand alone affordable units will be compiling with our marketing practices which include we'll be doing robust early outreach a month after construction starts and then there are after will be further marketing to insure that confident of preference holders are contacted and if those folks need consulting and help with getting rental read they have issues with their count they'll be provided avoidance next the certificate holders for people that have been displaced through the ellis act consistent with what the program is they'll have second preference and thereafter
5:51 am
is san francisco residents and is as you've heard before with our mayor's office of housing oewd will be overseeing is outreach and also the lottery so is developer and partner team related they'll be implementing the marketing plan. >> thank you. >> you're welcome. >> commissioner bustos. >> yeah going back to commissioner singh's discussion about parking and again, it is something we've been talking about and i know that since is original conception of objecting this property even the developers have realized that people want sort of larger unit more than 1 or 2 or 3 bedrooms that means nor families; right?
5:52 am
that want to bow those properties or live in those unite so expecting families to move around on a bicycle is an elicit it attitude people that have families you know maybe in one affordable units need a car i'm holy hoping there are other people from the parts of city will that will be able to live in this building there maybe folks from bayview that can live here but their churches or synagogue are in the southeast portion they'll need to drive to church or vista family member i know there is a transit first idea that is buzzing through the whole city but it is almost that policy or that way of thinking
5:53 am
is meant for a small group of people and does not take into account families community that rely on their automobile and if of we look at the elderly if they want to go grocery insurance policies in certain places they're not going to ride a bike to go grocery insurance policies and have to carry bags i know there is a grocery you guys are looking at i applaud you, we had discussion what type of store we're talking about i want to highlight is kinds of things we've been talking about and i i know the city is pushing something but mid-market in the history of san francisco is city has pushed something that has not worked so we need to think this through the second thing i want to talk about the sbe
5:54 am
update before i busted my knee and foot and was away one of the last commissioners are commissions i talked about you know the need to do those small business enterprises minority businesses owned businesses about creating fairness about equal listing the playing field so i'm glad to see the numbers you guys are looking at is up there but in that spirit of fairness i would hope that i mentioned this before but it is almost a month we look to businesses and services that have been here in san francisco for a long time we have because of growth of whaepdz in many of the areas a lot of people from outside are moving in and starting a business and getting the services then we have businesses that have been here for decades
5:55 am
not getting nothing whether that is architecture firms or other types of professional services to even carter coffee is goals is spirit was to be fair and so i've asked this before i hope we can as you work with our staff and - let's look at what companies have been here 0 a long time and give them an opportunity to get some business that was the spirit of is whole thing if a company moved in to take advantage of the new gold wishful u rush it's 2309 not fair for the folks that have been here for a long time keep in mind that as we look at the work you guys are doing as you put out our rfps and try to
5:56 am
reward people that stuck it out and survived in the city that believed in the city about a boom right who wanted to make the city the best city they deserve to have a good chance and you know what if they're missing something or they need proven ways god we'd love to hire this contractor make it workout make it a win within for everybody i mentioned this on the phone this is what it is all about let's lift everybody up so i ask for that consideration as you guys go forward and are looking at hiring people in companies for service thank you but i think it is a great project i think you know you have a great reputation here in the city of do the right thing
5:57 am
and you know you got a partner that is do the right thing so i want to thank you for that. >> okay commissioner mondejar. >> yes. for the record could you explain is madam chair of reducing the affordable units from one hundred san francisco to one hundred 50 did we get something in return for the what 20 units we've lost i know this is because they said to expand the unit to two or three bedrooms. >> our rvp requires that 27 percent of the total number one number of units be affordable they've met that requirement with is one hundred and 50 as far as what we get in return what we got in return was unit
5:58 am
that are larger from what we originally requested if you look back at our rvp for the ocii units we said that is units need to be a minimum of 5 hundred square feet for is one bedroom and 70 is 50 for the two bedroom and we end up with 840 plus and 11 square feet for is 3 bedroom we got larger units that i think will be more comfortable to those people that are in there. >> and because of this the grocery store was reduced to 12 thousand 57 hundred from 22 thousand; is that correct. >> it was reduced i don't know if it was reduced specifically for that reason i'll ask bill
5:59 am
whitney to come up and address that. >> commissioners with respect to to the grocery we started out with our usual concept of trying to combine two floors what we found as we talked to people two issues of is previous scheme is first is that was a fish nor foul size the larger grocery's want thirty to 40 we couldn't do under the circumstances but something central to our design that cuts to is site the larger gorgeous wanted continuous space partly is lack we were not going to compromise that to get to the
6:00 am
larger grocery their tech people that is true e thought they might not got a compatible size to commissioner murphy's point there is a lot of local groceries in today is work or world there's kind of sweet spot is 75 to 10 or 12 thousand square feet is a garage selection, if you will or possibility we have not picked anyone it is a combination of all those things. >> thank you. >> any other questions. >> i have a couple of. >> real quick commissioner one thing i'd like to if tiffany and jeff one thing we can do i know that we talked about
