3:00 pm
pool is so small of people that are actually qualifying for the program that we may need to broaden it to be able to reach more folks that are being displaced. that is part of the discussion with neighborhood preference so we'll keep you posted how that goes. we don't have income information on people who are evicted so we assume there are a vast mur jort of people who need the housing and it true. we are seeing also with the ellis act housing preference folks that are at a higher income and still within below 120s percent income, they are purchasing vmr units which is great because they don't have to worry about anybody kicking them out anymore and so we are
3:01 pm
looking at expanding that to reach more of the people that are being displaced now. >> i know we have a list here about some of the community based organizations and i recognize all of them, but i assume this isn't a exclusive list here. [inaudible] san francisco lgbt community center, san francisco housing development, there has to be more than this? >> there are and all-i think that all of those agencies are active in working groups on addressing access to housing and they are providing the services that ben had on his list of the services that we provide as rental readyness. it is much more all
3:02 pm
across the areas that need it now instead of a couple agencies there are all of the agencies that you mention are providing those services and helping folks that do get displaced. helping them navigate the system to apply for the lotteries and get in and get housed. ya, they are all really good partners and so are the developers that are embracing the ellis act housing preference like mercy and are incorporating the preference into their marketing strataniess. >> i assume the certificate of preference holders t is in
3:03 pm
encouraging people coming to transbay. >> absolutely. >> of the 5 that were approved so far, they are all western addition. >> you were not here at the last meeting but said we'll throw a party come dahlia is launched. these are great ruments result frz the old fashions way, but you can imagine the benefits when you have a more not automated, but a more--techno logically accessible system, and it is accessible and not just easier for our developer partners, the main point is that it bill make access to the end
3:04 pm
user more friendly and easier to maneuver, easier for their counselor to help them , language access will be easier. we are just-ya, big party. >> okay, let me see. i don't think i have any other questions on marketing. does anyone else have any other questions? >> just want to know that you approve 5 people, 5 families and how you do that? >> um, those 5 households met the criteria that mercy set up. before they begin their marketing, they meaning mercy, they give us a marketing plan and tell us in advance of any lottery or any selection how they are going select folks. they are
3:05 pm
going to-they told us in advance what they -what criteria for nat being selected. what was going to keep you out of the housing in advance and we had the lottery. the cop people started with them first. they go through their documentation and meet with them 1 on 1 and go over their income, go over their -making sure they do meet the criteria they set up and if they do, they are in and if they don't they are referred back to housing counselors back to the access to housing folks to see what we can do to help them work on whatever their issue is that is keeping them out of housing and fix it. >> it was done by lottery? >> it was done by lottery system but the cop folks go first. we do
3:06 pm
buckets, lotteries in buckets and the first bucket-we have over 5 thousand applications and took the 12 cop people out. we do a lottery for them and pet them in order and mercy goes 1-7 and do a separate bucket for ellis. there was only one ellis person and do the remaining thousands of applicants. >> i see that there is a 5 thousand applications for this but it dozen es dozen mean you are a second class citizen and have equal treatment as anyone else. >> absolutely and that is what we are working hard with each and every developer to make sure that thing are done as fairly and transparntly
3:07 pm
andachy witable as policy and mercy is great about being transparent and equitable with this process. >> thank you. >> i just have a quick question on the design action. it is a simple question. i like the wood and i understand the cost and i also like the added units so it isn't that i want to change anything, but i'm curious are construction cost so outrageous? you mentioned in your presentation there is economy of scale and come back a second time and each time we talk about adding and changing, but in part it sounds like construction cost or cost of materials. is that driving
3:08 pm
these changes? >> yes and think there is 2 factors, one is the foundation cost. because we are right on the historic shoreline of the bay >> no >> foundations are quite expensive regardilous of what you elect to put on top buzz wree supporting soil to keep it from sliding sideways with a system of soil cement columns. it is very elaborate and when we get under construction you'll see what a mess it is. besides that when i speak of wood frame it doesn't impact the exterior material. the material people say is the same as observe. wood frame we cloud the outside with placer and meter and we still cloud with plaster and
3:09 pm
3:13 pm
>> i love the design that you were talking about, but i was going to ask about- this is probably for mercy. the qualification criteria for childcare, who can apply and use it. you have it. >> so, it is-so, there is the lease agreement between mercy housing and south of market childcare that describes a order and preference of occupants for childcare center first going to concern of livering in transbay 6 and 7. the second preference is to people in the transbay redevelopment project area, south of
3:14 pm
market redevelopment area or the zip codes 94103, 6 and 7. the third is for children of families with a parent working in transbay. in any case, at least half the total number of children should be from low to moderate income families. there are about 40 children will be accommodated >> and the fees are subsidized >> good afternoon. my name is [inaudible] the enrollment will be, we anticipate that we'll be able to get license for 40 to 50 children. i might guesstimate 45 children. half are from low income families, state
3:15 pm
subsidize contracts that will provide and cal works contracts and other contracts the city [inaudible] we'll serve infant, toddlers and pre-school aged children and the other 50 percent are private families >> do you know how many childcare facilities there rin the vicinity? i know you are running several. >> we have 2 facilities one on folsom -we are licensed for 90 children. 60 percent are low income and the rest are private families and then we have another facility on [inaudible] all
3:16 pm
most 90 percent of the children at that site are subdized low income. >> how many? >> 48. >> you have 3 facilities. >> this is our third facility. >> in mission bay we have a couple of them. >> [inaudible] on king street. the mission housing development and the is a childcare operator and there is the family, the 3 family spots accommodates 12 at mercy's 24 street development. ucsf also operators a childcare operator and there are other proposed within commercial developments including the proposed head quarters on blocks 26, 27 you'll see in the fall and potentially killrow development on block 40 on 16th and owen

[inaudible] >> did you say 5 thousand? >> 5 thousand, yes. >> we are talking toddlers. >> infant and toddlers are limited in san francisco because the cost is very high so that is why we are very
3:18 pm
excited about it project. >> it isn't just affordable housing >> it is affordable childcare. i have a feeling we will be able to get license for 48 children so they create 48 slots that are really needed. >> i also believe transit sent r has childcare facility and the sit affof office through early care and education, thank you so much, city wide coordinating body because many developers pay a childcare fee and it is the coordination that happens through that office to provide the construction there is the financial plan that has to be put together in place for the operating. for new childcare facilities they run through that office. >> thank you for all the work

plaza capital impruchbments consistent with recognize obligation schedule item 387. subject to approval by the ovsite board and department of finance. bay view hunters opinion redevelopment, discussion and action rez solution 53-2015 >> commissioners there is one notable relief mechanism that is enacted in disaleutian law and that is the ability to expend pre-twonet 11 bond proceeds. we do have the ability to transfer those bond proceeds to the city and county of san francisco for projects that are consistent with the bond cuv nns and you have seen a number of these previously authorized in the south affmarket area and the bay view and we are nearing the second to last of the
3:33 pm
bond proceeds. now all we have left is the tax exempt housing bond proceeds after this for your consideration so through a great deal of due diligence the staff worked with the city through department of public works to come up with a program for the proceeds in the bay view hunters point redevelopment. i would like to ask [inaudible] with ocii staff to walk you through the proposal and the process. >> good afternoon commissioners and executive director. as director bohe stated earlier this year there are several items that have compl before you related to the the access bond proceeds sfr & iimeer here to seek authorization to enter into grant agreement acting through department of public works for up to 450
3:34 pm
thousand dollars in tax exempt bond proceeds for palou avenue streetscape and jening street plaza capital improvements within bay view hunters point redevelopment area. back in february i was here before you for a portion of bay view bond proceeds. we estimate we have 896 thousand bay view bond proceeds in february i came before you with a grant agreement with the office of economic and work force development for third street pedestrian improvements as well as sf shines in the amount of 446 thousand so today i'm here for the balance of that so that we can expand our bond proceed in a manner that is consist wnt the work we have done previously in bay view hunters point. all of the capital
3:35 pm
improvements we are proposal reflect the previous work we have done with other city agencies as well as with other community stakeholders. this was a exciting opportunity when we were seeking and frying to find projects that were shoveal ready and had community feedback and in line with the preechbious redevelopment plan and talking with community steakholders and other city departments, the department of public works was in the midst of streetscape improvement plans which is in the project boundary and in the process of houstic community meetings where they were looking at repaving, adding traffic [inaudible] and several other butte fiication elements and possibility for public arts as well as additional bull bout squz
3:36 pm
planting of street trees. as part of that community process, dpw came forward saying there is a interesting project at theert insection and i have exhibits dpw staff walk ed through with you is jen asian jenings and [inaudible] improving it so it would not be a area of flight. so, with that, i think i would like to start our presentation. with me today we have marshy cumacho from department of public work squz oscar g and we'll start this presentation which is the intent of the grant agreement to cover several capital improvements that we will go through in the slide presentation that relate to improvements along palou
3:37 pm
avenue or additional improvements along jenings plaza concept that came out through community feedback. >> good afternoon. the first slide i would like to show is half of the streetscape project that rubs from third street to [inaudible] which is a gate to the hunters point shipyard. the star represents theened of jenings which turned out to be a right of way owned by public works. this slide shows just a detail-what happened, we had a couple community meetings, we had 3 and at the very first community meeting the community said there is a couple locations on palou where we would love pizazz or something
3:38 pm
as people drive through they say this is wonder ifal. one of the areas they selected at the other end of palou there is a mini park so that was a area the community targeted. the other end pow lieu by chris gate, they gave addresses of 2 properties which as you go down palou in the orange it was a public works right of way and the one next to it is a long skinny parcel owned by the school district. so, at the-right now they are just si cyclone fenced. at jenings when you turn around there is a wonderful view of the bay. jenings go down and you are like you are in a room. we told the community we would try to find out who ownathize lots or they can go
3:39 pm
forward or with it that it wouldn't necessarily be part of the streetscape project and we found out that our director was excited about when we talked to him and said is this really a right of way and not a private lot. then the next community meeting we told the community our findings and what we did is told them about the 2 lots and they gave us ideas-at that meeting which fsh the second meeting they gave ideas of a amtheater or farmers market, childrens playground or combination of uses. we talked a little about that and this was a informal design workshot but we didn't want to talk about it to be much because we didn't know if was reality. the other interesting thing is
3:40 pm
in thearial you can see right about the-now the lot is blue, but above that is elevated i think it is george washington carver school above it and the school district also owns the-to the left of the blue lot is the long skinny parcel, but even if we didn't get the school district lot it is a large space. on our third community meeting we told them there was a possibility of a grant so people were getting excite td about it and we told them when we thought we would come and talk to you about it and what we would do is if we get the grant we hold a couple community meetings specifically to work out the jeningplaza. the next slide we have some ideas. at
3:41 pm
this point because we are-things are so rough there are all kinds of elements that could be included in the plaza dependent on how much many we have. there could be planting and pace making, paving, street trees, lighting and fencing because the idea is to keep the yiria secure and clean and not let it become reblighted. the squej sin process now and we are just starting the design fauz so the timing is great because we would love to be able to include jenings plaza. you have full design team including experts and then you would also have bid and built at the same time so it would be
3:42 pm
come part of the streetscape project. we are planning to finish the design phase in the fall of this year and go to bid early next year with the construction being completed by spring 2017. right now the palou complete street were a joint project, which means we have a paving budge lt of 3.45 million. the sewer joined so there are different blocks with the new sewer lines at 1.9 million. the streetscape portion is 3.68 million and then we have a design budget for jenings from dpw of 100 thousand that we would do -contribute to the design fees. the 450 grant would strictly be construction budget.
3:43 pm
>> so, if the grant agreement is authorized we will submit it for authorization to the oversight board at the meeting sep tember 14, 2015 and the grant agreement will become effective on the date the dof concurs with the oversight board resolution. the grant agreement is effective for 24 months. based on the schedule provided and the timing related to the other funds we expect to complete the project within that period or the contract will close out if dpw is ahead of schedule. this concludes the presentation. there are member thofz community here and marsy is here to answer questions and i'm here to answer questions as well. thank you. >> thank you. >> do we have speaker cards? >> i do. mr. chris logan.
3:44 pm
>> there is a 3 minute here, that means i get 3 minutes is that correct? tell me when you want me to go. go. thank you tiffany for your explanation for the funding, i think that was important. my name is chris logan, i lived on palou since 1999 and moved here from orange county which is different from san francisco. i moved to san francisco because i loved the diversity here. racially, just everything. it is really exciting-i stayed on palou because where love the bay view. it is great place to live and it has a lot of great potential. we have a lot of long time
3:45 pm
really nice residence who care about our community. it is unfortunate most of the publishty for our community is taken by a small minority of people who are not the long time residence who are really committed to our schools and churchss and the arts. it is exciting to see the whole bay view area become cleaner and prettier and safer. the true signature of a society is fomunitation thorf arts and san francisco is known for its squarts the bay view is a luchbly conclave of the arts. we have the original opera house there, we have a lot of public art and by public art qu think what the young lady was rirfing to are the murals, a lot of murals. if you haven't been
3:46 pm
393rd street near palou you should take a ride there, there is a lot of pretty stuff. new york sate has chelsy and soohoo, those were wrairias run down and blighted for years. artists were the only ones who could afford to live there but now it is vibrant desirable places. san francisco can repeat that success new york had with helping revitalize the bay view hunters point area. a small park where community members can gather and help the city achieve your goals revitalizing the area and that gives a opportunity for a mural public arts and trees and this will help attract and retain residence and that is very important.
3:47 pm
commissioner mondejar talked about affordable housing. bay view and huntsers point are the last affordable areas we have so this will have the city achuv the goals on multiple levels so hope you'll prove approve that. >> i don't want to mispronounce your last name. >> i'm [inaudible] i also live on palou, i live on the block just east of the jenings plaza. i get on and off the bus right in front of it every morning to go to my job at ccsf. i would love to see your support for this grant. it was eluded to it was a blighted area but it is a fence
3:48 pm
off parking lot which you can see in one of those pictures, cars park on the sidewalk in front tof all the time. there is constantly garbage and not just on the ground, but home garbage couches and beds. as [inaudible] palou will look different in a few years and it is [inaudible] while everything else was improved. i think lots of amazing things can be done there. the view from there is awesome. you can see all the way down to-you can see bay view hill and san bruno mountain and i think i forgot to mention, i live there with my wife and son and soon to have a second kid soon so a place for the community to gather, it would
3:49 pm
be awesome. i know lots of people on my block and west of there that want a safe place for a block party and people on bay view and palou are very energizeed where they live and the people around them so hope you guys put your support behind this. thank you >> thank you >> i don't have any other speaker cards. >> okay. there is a motion and second. commissioner sing h moved and commissioner mondejar 2nd. please call the roll. >> commissioner mondejar, yes. commissioner singh, yes. madam chair rosales, yes. i have 3 ayes and one absent. >> thank you for coming. please call the next item.

3:51 pm
project area. [inaudible] transbay redevelopment project area. madam director. >> commissioners there are 2 informational memorandums in your packet. actually the initial results of the staff analysis for the rfp that was issued in april you just received today as part of your packets. that is the rfp for 150 unit, 50 unit for formally homeless-50 units for homeless and 50 units for families. the homeless units were up too [inaudible] require a operating subsidy and the 50 units are for families earning up to 60 percent area medium income. rereceived 3 proposals that were responsive to your rfp criteria. those 3
3:52 pm
were from development teams comprised of [inaudible] with china town community development center. community housing partnership and the third proposal was from tenderloin neighborhood development and bridge housing. based on the multidisciplinary panel convened included experts and representation from the city including human service agency that provides additional substaes, mayors office of housing and our staff and the initial results of the staff analysis concluded china town and [inaudible] were the most response ovthes 3 and met the criteria. there will be a presentation to the mission bay citizens advisory committee
3:53 pm
on september 10 [inaudible] will get community feedback with our staff and we'll present the results of that finding as well as come to you for authorization for an exclusive negotiation agreement i pre -development loan to get the project moving. i'll pause for any questions. we can move on for discussion and give a brief report on transbay block 8. it will come back before you shortly in the fall. the ena and pre-development loan. the discussion about transbay and the related [inaudible] as you recall as part of the approval of owner
3:54 pm
participation agreement they were require today give quarterly reports on the status of securing a grocery tenet for the 12 thousand or so square feet for the ground floor grocer and there is subbasement space. the first steps related to that [inaudible] the developer, you heard jonathan shum or may have been hime give a brief report. they indpaijed a specialized marketing firm that did a retail survey so they specialized marketing firm analyzed all the retail within.3 miles of the site to gauge what is out there and they also did a study in essence of where people shop for their groceries and they did a theoretical analysis
3:55 pm
if there were to be a grocery store on that site what would be the weekly sales volume and topping that, trader joes was at the top of 300 thousand per week all the way down to 150 thousand and chaij for a local independent grocer. it dozen mean those are the stores that would go there, but the retail market and the potential and possibility. it show thrz is a great deal of retail leakage with respect to stores in the area because people travel outside going the safe way at 4th and king, the safeway near jackson on davis street, bristol farms,
3:56 pm
they are going to whole foods, south of market and other specially stores. there is a market opening across the street from transbay block 8, that isn't yet open. this is existing retail and this is the first step in order to identify a grocer or food supplier that would go in and serve not just transbay block 8 but has a broader submarket for the entire rincon hill district. we expect to bring you these quarterly reports as the developer submits them and that offer as opportunity for the commission to provide input or feedback as it progresss. the transbay block 8 we expect will close on time in october and the sales proceeds will go to the tjpa and commence construction in the spring with 2 years later or so
3:57 pm
opening or more. that conclude my report. this was the first report. they indpaijed a specialized experts which helps us and the commissions deliberations for retail. we also are partnering with transbay joint power authority which has a sig cnts amount of retail in the transbay sener. each of the developers hire their own broker. gallb for their tower on block 6 they hired collier so we are engaging in a coordination effort to make sure as the projects are built it provides the necessary suvss people need. >> i would add the range of service because when you look at page 15 of the
3:58 pm
report, trade area dem ographics, it looks like it is diverse. i would like to see better numbers on the african american and hispanic category but when you look at average house hold income at 17 aith8, 506thality is a wealthy district and wouldn't want decisions to be made on the idea that people with a lot of money can afford certain choices. that is why i keep pushing for price points across all spectrums because if we have a lot of affordable households there, to your point especially with no cars, maybe they leave the kids at the childcare center. i know. that is an amazing average of household income
3:59 pm
>> what we work with the developer-this thir first report, making sure plan projection take into account the 35 percent affordable which has a diverse set of incomes and racial make up. up interestingly, the theoretical projections about weekly sales volume, the most price conscious even with this analysis of the average howhold income, the most price conscious of grocers trader joes had the highest weekly sales. whole foods, safeway, all the rest it teared from the. even with- >> they don't- >> this project on dem ographic and average income, we don't know if it take synchronize to account our projections and delivery of the affordability units and will
4:00 pm
