ise that to get to the 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 certificate
6:01 am
of preference and would it be possible some point maybe in the next few months hold or sponsor a workshop for the public about certificates of preference where we could talk about how you know how to do better outreach to them but also if we're looking at workshops have to do around kuwait credit let's let people know we didn't forget about them but two get people prepared to be on is look out that things are happening and maybe we can get a pipeline of folks to be able to do that if we hosted somewhere i think it would be great impeople will see we didn't forget and we can probably do a lot more outreach especially right now it is a
6:02 am
heated thing people will appreciate that chair if we can host. >> we have on our forward looking at calendar i think is mayor's office of housing i believe a report on is housing - >> we do through the chair on is forward calendar a look back on is 13, 14 our production and part of housing production to contributed to ocii through 2020 will attribute 40 thousand affordable units 21 hundred are through ocii projects and related to t n d c block 8 contribute but certainly a start from the public hearing on our production duo to date and we'll be glad to work with you and our city partners with the stakeholder engagement.
6:03 am
>> so okay elsewhere. >> i have a point so maybe perhaps when we get to the commissioners matters we can bring that up i had a couple questions it is in line with some of the other questions my fellow conversions raised i'm interested in the market study that ruled in a great demand for larger units in turn to reduce the number of units i'm interested in that study itself i think perhaps two years ago maybe i'm just remembering a different development where the market demand study was for is smaller units i'm intrigued a shift in the market perhaps and can i have someone address that. >> i'll ask bill witnessing i didn't to come up and answer
6:04 am
that. >> madam chair rosales we can certainly get you a copy of the market study but i'll tell you why it's happening in my opinion we're not strangers but with the former development agency it opened in 2001 we track the market as it's gunning gone with when the paramount opened the square feet in the building was seven hundred and 70 square feet studios and ones and two's at the time people thought that was small a kind of new york building now that's large and if you look at the large buildings developed recently particularly in the middle market area is 14 hundred unit they're all really small there's a huge surge if you look at building coming
6:05 am
online i'm saying there's anything wrong with that but is second thing in the market study b will documented this is for is very expensive tall buildings in the market unit high rents interestingly it is not just a rent per square feet calculation the smaller the higher rent it is true for some level rather is bigger unit are commanding higher rents in some cases it is a practical thing paying that much rent a phenomenal rent not looking rent per square feet that is renter talk but to put all the things together a lot of people see the privacy in the market of transbay and other areas there's really a deficit, if you will, of larger unit
6:06 am
offset also by so many very small unit you don't mean mike units but a building an harrison street is one hundred percent studios in the building again serving the market not a question of right or wrong but we didn't go in with a preconception of doing this we assumed smaller units we looked at what was happening it steadier us in a slightly different direction. >> do you think that more families or folks that point more space to grow, if you will an investment in the property to hold it. >> i think there is a sector of the market that is egging merging i don't know if we have another experience in the city to see that you may be beginning to see that by the way, as
6:07 am
commissioner fewer commissioner bustos we didn't anticipate this but when the paramount opened that garage has 6 percent spaces per unit we evaluate park the whole garage i think that was roughly the percentage of people that had cars today at the paramount 32 percent of the tenants park cars in that building in terms of because of transit option that is how mentally ill are young we didn't necessarily see that coming there seems to be less demand for parking although i can't frankly quickly commissioner bustos with some of your comments about people going to part is city those things are evolving over time i think one thing that helps with the point
6:08 am
if there were some type of charter school dentist didn't have many people now between mission bay something maybe in the works that would be a big a real key to more of that happening not everybody can afford or want private school that area really was not financial so primary so that would be significant the answer is i don't know yet but you're probably right that's my guess as awhile you're there let me ask you another question i'm districts about how is developer pick the general contractors at least right now in attachment 4 a robust picture of our professional service providers what is the process that you
6:09 am
would go throw in selecting a general contractor do you have one in mind. >> i'll give you the criteria we typically work with one or more contractor just to advise us on cost estimates that's not is selection of the contractor building the project for us in a kinds like this a couple of criteria one they'll have to some of this is obvious they'll have to have san francisco high-rise experience we will want someone that is has in likelihood has business with ocii as we have over the years because all the criteria that you have to address we don't want someone that is unfamiliar with local hiring requirement and things like that
6:10 am
a building of this size when is really enormous they're going to have to have a certain bonding requirement you know what else can i say and then we have a strong in house construction design team people on is staff full-time we like for example our head of krauks construction was is project manager for is team that built the paramount we rely on their input but local experience familiarity with ocii and other local requirements financial capacity are probably the main criteria i don't know 3, 4, 5 that meet that you can threshold, if you will, can you consider is ability of
6:11 am
the general contractor to expedite the project? well we really don't rely on them to expedite but to perform that's our job managing the team of consultant we have a fair amount of history in san francisco not that is not to do your job but working with ocii staff and city staff and you know people say it's difficult it is difficult if you let it be difficult >> it's good to know. >> you know actually, i think if you work with the process you're fine here but local experience outlets it is really the one side of the accompany expedite but do no harm that's is first rule. >> one other reasons i'm asking those questions i have our sbe
6:12 am
policy as the fellow commissioners said in some of the reports we've received in the last quarter excuse me. shows - >> okay shows that is transbay area as compared to hunters point that some of the minority business in particular participation in the construction side is not as robust in transbay. >> whout without knowing the details but historically that mass as much be a function of the type high-rise development as the location imi don't know the particular facts there are simply fewer firms when you get into those complicated structures that have that kind of experience i don't know is details historically that is
6:13 am
probably been the case certainly in is wood frame world achievement tends to be higher okay. >> well take that note yeah. absolutely go ahead. >> commissioner mondejar. >> go back to our seat. >> it is a beautiful building i've seen the model and is rendering and the pictures you sent to us do you have any plans for local arts or what you're going to do. >> i should know this in many cases a public art requirement i don't know is there one. >> public works projects no commercial in other project areas but i think o m organization might be able to address your landscape what you intend. >> is one thing i'll say it is
6:14 am
good question we introduce to do in our projects whether it's formally requires is distinction office buildings have public lobbies so there is not that much interior public space we try to work define if we're going to do anything in the lobby and something like that and is landscape easier we try to find local artists we did another project with was it redevelopment or mayor's office of housing jeff would know in crescent coffee 2 hundred affordable unit project and mission bay north on is show place square side of the 280 we paid for a local measure lift we try to do i'm glad you brought it up i was thinking about it
6:15 am
ever there is a requirement we're going to have something some art and we do try to use local it just make sense it is a good thing to do people feel a little bit more at stake and i have a beautiful facade on market and sphere the beverages for example is outside are works of art and so i was i didn't see anything about art. >> jason can confirm we're only in schematic design but when we could be with the finished product those details will be filled in you're right the real opportunity to outside on
6:16 am
clemente that will be shut off in the perry say in a lesser degree in the lobbies but a lot of public spates there's where this opportunity will be i think. >> okay. thank you. >> do we - >> i have one more. >> go ahead. >> not for him. >> one more question. >> dr. jackson and any public comment on this item? >> no, i just talked to the young man mr. white to inform him, i want to inform i'm a certificate holder i received a letter from olsen lee last year that the certificate holders will not be any longer than after 2016 i'm glad you're going to hold a hearing auto while take our comment during public comment. >> yes. at my age 82 i forget.
6:17 am
>> i'll remind you. >> laughter. >> so commissioner mondejar. >> one last next thing or thing i want to hear from the nonprofit partner t n d c if it's okay. so i just want to know how that this meets our requirements as a nonprofit partner do you have any comment. >> thank you for asking commissioner don falk we're really thrilled to be part of project we're very passionate about our values and sxhuts we feel like it is important to represent those in our discussions about design and financing and how the project will carry forth i think in our mature selection always partners we felt like we needed to hear and see that and relate it they'll be responsive to us when we raise those issues that's our experience so far as
6:18 am
far very good. >> thank you very much i appreciate it. >> would any commissioners like to say anything about is design i think that is beautiful i personally like the terracotta. >> here's one hundred and 50 affordable units 77 percent and 50 or 70 inclusionary units will be first and second story what's is rest of the affordable. >> is - >> over one hundred 50, 70 is second-story. >> yeah. in the first 7 stories of the tower and the remaining 80 ocii funded you units are located in is adjacent one adjacent podium which as 65 foot
6:19 am
podium and is second podium is the remaining ocii funded unit will be. >> will be there on top of the building anyone. >> no. >> no. >> okay. >> all right. thank you. >> okay. any other questions or comments? is that two items we're going to vote on this separately and everyone ready >> rosales if i could have the design stand up >> thank you so much very, very impressive work thank you. >> okay. so we've got two items 4 b and c we'll take them separately. >> can i move.
6:20 am
>> yes. commissioner bustos would you like to move 5 b. >> is first one. >> yes 5 b so commissioner bustos has made a motion and seconded by commissioner singh please call the roll. >> commissioner mondejar commissioner singh commissioner bustos sxhorlz i have four i's. >> is next item is - commissioner singh as moved is there a second. >> second. >> commissioner bustos seconded that. >> commissioners commissioner mondejar poimg we're voting on is second one i have questions on is second one i thought we were only discussing the first
6:21 am
resolution. >> it was open for both but it's fine if i think we - do we have to. >> well, it's been months ago and seconded i have a question on we had a discussion on this on the standard i want to make sure this is ones attachment 21 where was that - there are no page numbers but second page of the attachment 21st page page the attachment 21st page page 2 the declaration of affordability
6:22 am
21 it's number one the second page under bmr units one .4 okay. mr. white you were ready okay. >> is size and finishes of the unit and i know there was a discussion that the bmr units have the same finishs or finish the size and so on and is last line says current standard and i was wondering if we can add industry standard. >> yes. we can. >> we can. >> it is allegedable. >> can you expand. >> in section 1.4 in the affordability declaration of restricts for is ad bmr's we're
6:23 am
going to revise a a description of the finishes of the bmr unit so that there's consistent instead of just saying with current standards it will say current destroy standards to insure it is a slightly better define when we are talking about finishes in is unit. >> and also i can't remember which area it was about making sure that is bmr units have is same received the same amenities as is market unit is same door entrance for t smeeldz there a trend in the east coast about the bmr tenants have a different door is market unit are different entrances if some were here we go that indicates such
6:24 am
amenities or such things are not amended later. >> for example the schematic assign e design race a shared lobby that is the better part of the schematic design we actually don't have lapsing but the fact we're conditionally approving the schematic design this has is shared elevators and lobby we feel like staff feels like we're covered yeah. >> and amendments if any redesign or remodeling is staff will cover that we - >> that's right in our conditional language any proposed change orders that kind of thing needs to be approved by ocii we're confident that our partner t n d c will step ♪
6:25 am
the interest of the affordable units and is bmr's as well >> just one other thing i think it is on page it is page 32.2 letter d it did say internet and other media by the time when the buildings are available hopefully social media will be included in advertising in local newspapers. >> that's a great point we'll add that. >> just to make sure a lot of organizations are making internet and social media affordable or free they'll be a better outreach to potential bmr applications. >> thank you that's great yes. >> you thank you. >> thank you, mr. white. >> thank you i don't think that
6:26 am
