zinzanni. >> who is presenting on this item? anyone? item no. 2, thank you, sir, please come on up. >> thank you, chair cohen and supervisors wiener and kim. i am the department program manager with the port of san francisco. i am here recommending -- representing the port commission, requesting your consideration of a resolution authorizing the port to enter into negotiations with teatro destinani and their project tzk bredway, llc. to develop and lease portland with a boutique hotel and dinner theater. the resolution requests an exemption from the competitive bidding policy set forth in

administrative code section for the potential real estate transaction involving port property as seawall lots. i have a map showing the location of the site. it's right there at the corner of broadway and embarcadero. and it consists of just those two parcels. teatro zinzanni is a former tenant, beginning in 2011, it operated as a successful venue, combining dinner and theater at pier 27. during this period it welcomed many performing artists and close to a million customers. and frequently partnered with charities.

in 2011, the port asked teatro to determinant the lease for pier 27 and vacate the location at pier 27 to accommodate the america's cup and construction of the [speaker not understood] by state law the port is required to relocate tenants including teatro. after searching widely it became clear that the best location to keep teatro in san francisco was at port site seawall lot 324. a 1.4 acre site at broadway and embarcadero with picture being shown on the screen that currently operates a parking lot. in 2011, teatro conducted extensive outreach to seek

comments and address concerns about the site from community groups and stakeholders including the barbary coast neighborhood association, golden gate commons, chinese community development center, telegraph hill dwellers, golden gate tenants association and many others. seawall lot 324 is a permanent site along the embarcadero. some community groups and stakeholders indicated that they prefer for teatro to develop a project that would be a distinguished gateway between neighborhood -- between the neighborhood and the waterfront and chinatown. the community also requested the site to be developed in a manner consistent with the northeast waterfront historic district in terms of architectural characters, zoning and building massing. to be responsive to the community, and the comments from the community, teatro

expanded its project to include a hotel with a theater and public park. prior public planning for this site called for a hotel at the site. teatro has engaged an investment partner and together they have formed a limited liability corporation called tzk broadway, llc., so that teatro can return to san francisco. the proposed uses as indicated -- in the line use regulations that cover this site. including the port waterfront line use plan. the port previously sought a development partner for a hotel on the site. the site continues to be recognized as ideal for hotel and entertainment using because of its location's attributes. the board of supervisors adopted a music and cultural

sustainability policy in code chapter 98 requiring city departments to undertake all means to use city property to retain cultural and entertainment entitis in san francisco. this policy also promotes creative strategies for theaters. the proposed project meets the policy directives of the administrative code 98. in this requested exemption -- if this requested exemption is approved the port will enter into a exclusive negotiating agreement with the partis and if the partis are able to reach an agreement on deal terms, such terms would be summarized in a term sheet and the term sheet or the proposed lease will be brought back to this board for its consideration and

endorsement. authorizing the port to enter negotiations is not an approval of the proposed project. the project still needs to be refined, through the public review process, including ceqa and design review. after the term sheet is endorsed, both the port commission and the board of supervisors must consider a long-term lease with terms including fair-market considerations for the use of the property. if it is acceptable to the chair, i will now turn my presentation over to teatro's representative to make a few remarks, norman langill -- -- and a person from your development partner. >> thank you. welcome.

>> good afternoon, chair cohen and supervisors kim and wiener. i am norm langill, the president and artistic director of zinzanni and brought to san francisco in the year 2000. i'm here to speak on behalf of the sole-source resolution so teatro zinzanni can return to san francisco. our team includes our supporting partners, daris anderson and jay wallace, the architect will be in charge of the project and teatro ally jamison and also in the room are many supporters, neighbors and past employees and local artiests who make teatro zinzanni a unique part of san

francisco's curtal life. i'm going to reduce my speech, because the gentleman before we covered a lot of points. >> we appreciate that, to get it to the vote. [laughter ] >> right. that is true. when we started to pursue the project we soon found our plans to rebuild the site as was five times more expensive than we originally planed and not only that, it was impossible to finance and meet the standards of the neighborhood or to match the revenue requirements of the port. it's a fact that theatres could not generate enough revenue per square foot that you could get with private development. so we needed help and the only solution was to develop a multi-using cremate concept for the site, in which it would support the cost of

construction and teatro zinzanni's lease. a multi-year contract has been used successful in the you united states and around the world. and the art series hotels in melbourne, australia. i asked daris arnoldson to partner with us to develop a financially feasible multi-year plan to meet the recommendations of the neighborhood, the lease terms of the port and support teatro zinzanni's unique cultural position. it includes housing for our after artists and the hotel, restaurant and lounge, serving as our lobby and open public park, backstage areas, built into the area and office space and our teatro zinzanni tent,

which we'll put in a glass gazebo much like in a hotel and it will be entirely glass to the backstage quarters in the show will be completely transparent to people walking along the emweekend, embarcadero. this combination made it possible to return with a 66-year lease. i want to thank the neighborhood groups we met with over the last two years who demonstrated their support for the project and a willingness to stay with us during the next design phase and barbary coast neighborhood association, telegraph hill dwellers, chinatown community development, north beach neighborhoods, hotel neighbors, top of the broadway cbg and port of san francisco. i was surprised in the community meetings there was actually great ideas that came

out of it. and it was a useful process and we want to continue. it the four suggestions that we heard that we stuck to was stay at 40'. we awakened the corner of broadway and embarcadero so that it serves as a gateway up to north beach and chinatown. develop a plan for parking and balance with the transit-first policy. and to comply with all the public policies on the waterfront, which all encourage a theater, hotel, green space, and retail. just as another side note, quickly, that particular location is very important to us, because it was the site of the clark's point wharf that brought the 49ers ashore and, in fact the first city gate.

in 1839 the rose circus came to san francisco, where the production of "othello" including elizabethan language and horseback juggling in order to sell it. montgomery street a year later, the first professional theater opened, the national theater, which was a french vaudeville company that came to san francisco. in this district is where san francisco theatrical traditions began, a tradition that is widely unique, progressive and often wonderfully whacky tradition and will continue to inspire teatro zinzanni every night. thank you, i would like to introduce annie jamieson, chief

operating offer the teatro zinzanni. >> i'm going to shorten myself as well, since time is of the essence. the most important thing for you to know is that we have really developed a multitude of relationships with neighbor, vendors, corporations, artists and we became a destination entertainment experience and a part of the fabric of san francisco's artistiac community. we employ hundreds of bay area citizens with waiters, chefs, bartenders, costume mickers, technical staff, artists, sales people and administrators who all added to the vibrant life of the waterfront. we entertained over 2,000 separate corporate companies and created many, many special and spectacular moments of celebration for our customers. since we closed in 2011 it's been anizing receive a vast number of ongoing and daily requests from the public, asking us when we will return to san francisco?
