allowing new opportunities for the filipinos for art and culture to be showcased this is unprecedented and we applaud forest city for making arts and cultural a priority in the 5 m project we believe that art and culture can you think if i and lift people up and the art benefits package has the ability to do just that historically individuals suffering in the lower income ranks call central soma home and soma has neglected the community 40s people including filipinos to leave the 5m is different it seeks to work with and exclude ethics itself but especially the filipino community this approach is different than any we've experienced 5 m understands the needs and stresses the residents in soma and through the plans and agreement that have

obsoleted on tackle ways to address the needs the community has always throughout the community system for the studios and manila town foundation and at san francisco filipino center the building would be the fifth center for the filipino arts and education programs and other space for the community not only has the 5m troubled to the art and culture but the project will provide an additional $4 million to help to support the neighborhood youth dictated funds for the bmentd school and the gene friend recreations center no other project has engaged the community at this level i urge you in support of 5 m now. >> thank you.

the payment to the tsif and the tooifrd and all the bike parking those are things not in other projects unaffordable housing what is unique that allows us to see the titan you market rate housing and the production of affordable housing that project on 80 street the site was bought if 2007 its been looking for money for 8 years this project provides a gap for this site without 5 m is likely that project is detailed for many more years the project on howard street the senior family homes 5 m is buying the land for if to happen without 5 m that affordable housing project might not happen the each other and rental building in 5 m we are where is the building going in

san francisco we can't assess the tax and finally to assess the subsidizing the middle-income housing people don't make a lot of money to qualify for bmr's that project helps helps that we ask you to reject the appeal and let's move forward tonight. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> hi, i'm with the m j m we're here in support of knowledge project and it's open spaces and against the appeal 5 m has an ability to use opinion speak brings the community together especially families and 1234rz when you think about open space we should think about an area of grass and tables like open space can and be reflective of the neighborhood a.m. as considered

this and made candidates to lierlts at space 5 m is a willing engaged partner in creating open space that is lively and creativity and diverse for example, the neighborhoods near the site helped to determine the 5 m open space it is this approach working with people that makes it exciting to be involved with 5 m the 5m for the new public space finds was to galvanize the neighborhood initiative programs and activities this new open space has think up to the time to think are be an open asset lakes the yerba buena gardens district 6 and soma has the lowest amount of open space you have access where you can play and grow and thiefl this adds

programs and can enrich the lives of residents 5 m is a true community partner we hope you'll support this project thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good evening supervisors my name is sharon i'm here representing the making have a family the family owns a 1912 building at the corner of fifth and howard some of you know it as as m & m turning around and the irish pub and still other as the housing built in a remodel 1912 single room occupancy that has 8 apartment all rent-controlled so we also have soma we have been in the neighborhood with any father and at bar for thirty years and

before that with any gather for 50 years the mc have a family are the neighbors the only corner not owned by he did hearst in this fifth and howard section through those years we've seen the neighborhood change and change dramatically we believe now for the better so in the latter years there's been a lot of growth and development in bringing back vitality for the area that for a time seemed to be lost the scope of the 5 m project is significant in its impact on soma both in his benefits and in the hazards we have attended all the prior commission meetings and heard the concerns of the neighborhood the mc have a he family expressed our concerns early in the dir process and contaminated

we remember not supportive we have a zero lot line with the project our the 5 story brick single room occupancy is immediately adjacent to the 5 m we are directly impacted and x's response to us and the communities demonstrate this they left hand and forest city has put in protects for the integrity of our 1912 building to our soma neighbors 5 m has shown sensitivity with a underlying bond one that community and has taken steps to strengthen we have no desire to be an island in the middle of gentrification with 50 percent of affordable housing is quite significant throughout those hearings we believe that 5 m has listened and we recommend supporting the 5m project and

not supporting the appeal thank you. >> thank you very much at the time. >> good evening supervisors i'm randy the executive director of intersection for the art we're asking you reject the appeal one development can't address everything 24s that is going on in the city the housing and gentrification all the elements and one development project can't redress everything in the past the displacement of the filipino community is real and resonates the arts community suffered from a grateful displacement and 5 m did something unpreened they invited the arts on the ground floor of this development they wanted to be at the table and us and see how to inform this development was designed what the life would be like in the project and the

public spaces they've you couldn't asked intersection in the beginning louder us to play and allowed us to work with other communities groups like bindle and united playaz in our programming and experimentations and now done something they've changed the one percent for art so it is not a sculpture going up in a lobby in a public plaza one artist benefits is paid well, this changes it so a building is donated to arts and culture money it there for programming with the community many meaningful ways so we are asking you support this project this developer and hearst have been intellectual compassionate

and left hand and adopted and the utmost integrity please support this project thank you. >> hi names a laura clark with grow sf welds to thoroughly endorse this project and please does not give into this delay practices i think he i i mean, that's the point to delay once again and we all know we're in a housing crisis that's what we're heard over and over and over and over and can't cut off you're notice to spite our faces we lard to this being the new standard to embrace the sxhement to take a parking lot i mean, that's what we are doing taking a parking lot and crappy buildings and turn it into homes

is mostly parking lots not assessable for public use and leaving it as see will only serve those not seeing the bigger picture i don't know the rational of those opposed to this project when the housing crisis is at its worse the 5m is a additionally addressing of the affordable housing and more important opportunities in san francisco my family our families especially fmz throughout the community beg you to approve this project that is the kind of project that soma and san francisco needs but all said and done warrior the roof over our children's heads thank you for your time. >> thank you i'm john a resident in san francisco and i'm not here in support of 5 m project i thought that the

architecture was amazing in terms of what the plan was i think that the benefits that the city is going to be getting from the projects are incredible so thank you and that's all i have. >> i like the 40 percent affordable and the dozens of stories in a city with not that much land important probation officer build up so thanks so much for all you're service. >> thank you supervises michael san francisco building and construction trades council we have our own account of the displacement we are in that economic class for the new

by generation have been at least served by the housing production in san francisco we make two little generally to fast food market-rate except in the outdoor neighborhood we make too much to qualify for subsidize housing so some facts 100 percent of area medium income is what an operating engineer and other earner working a few weeks less as common in a down turn one hundred percent is sheet worker metal works and other this is i want to applaud supervisor kim for observing middle-income in new york city with forest city that's exactly what we in the trade need to remain in san francisco those of you who look at the local hire

reports over the last few years know we're a majority of monitored in the building trades in san francisco there are not only filipino nurses and filipino teachers there are filipino trade workers of plenty but as supervisor remind me when we testified in the past the purpose of this hearing not to judge the facts of the adequacy of the environmental impact report to that end we believe that you're city staff as adequately refeuded the claims against the environmental impact report we ask you to reject the appeal and approve the eir thank you. >> hi, i'm katie i'm the director of housing development for tndc our director was not here we have a board of directors meeting tonight i'd

like to address some of the statement about 9 who supported eddy and taylor family housing and additional clarifies it will provide affordable housing to individuals a third restored for the families moving out of homelessness and some with the disabled or transitioning from long term care institutions the 1, 2, 3 depressions bedrooms over 70 percent will be reversed for families who earn between 20 and $50,000 a year paying rents continue 8 hundred and 12 a month. >> there was also an ad in the examiner that asserted that eddy and taylor will be built and a speaker saying the tempt was fully fund in 2009 i want to correct those statements it is true that tndc will not give up

on the dream it is not true the project was or project was already fund we've controlled the site since 2007 and washer for the financing it is challenging in a great recession and following the recession and the demise of development never enough resources to build all the affordable housing and capable of building as a result we have to be creative and look at all resources and 5 m agreement to provide funds to the city to support eddy and taylor give us the confidence with a feasible plan and plan to start construction in two years tndc didn't negotiate the 5 m benefits plan we believe it is a good precedent for future developers in our community the two traditional affordable housing will serve families and individuals earning less than half of the medium area income

within a 5 minute walk the layer of oversight medium is income is exist serving the people and as the previous speaker said didn't qualify more affordable housing the solution to displacement is really affordable nonprofit housing and tndc is part of solution we urge to reject the appeal and approve the thank you very much. >> thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> >> good evening the board and supervisors my name is jess i can't i'm here to deny the appeal i have here people say together that this building are too tall and i have heard them as a that this building need more housing

we regard good behavior what the developer is willing to work with the community and take open space and more money for community programs, mass transit those are positive those are win-win for the community developers and the city and that's another positive another positive the 40 percent is this - the prop - the project all right. we, go on and on cbo infinity but the point is if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck it is a duck all right. so that's my $0.02 i say reject the appeal and get on
