the assessments of amount of approximately $43 million over years as well as paying the open space and street improvements and transportation fees the 75 howard project an unavoided good the project proposes to tear down the garage with a code compliant residential building with ground floor retail a platinum certification not only did this project address the environmental wrongs of past as note supports the development of critical infrastructure and the improvement of the district as well as paying all applicable fees to that end the project sponsor has been pursuing it's approvals contributing more to avenue than the amounts required

by law to assist the tndc project to come to frustrate shut up ultimately the 75 howard project that was approved pay the planning commission was a code compliant project and as such the new fee is 20 percent those project approvals again are not properly before the board this evening, however, the project sponsor still wishes to make a contribution to produce affordable housing and is therefore offered to pay additional money above and beyond did 20 percent required by law we submit both the record a letter from the project sponsor that offers the 75 howard is constructed to pay an additional amount of money to total to 33.3 percent this the project sponsor believes is consistent with the policy direction adapted by the city voters in 2014 by prop k

turning now to the issue that is properly before the board this evening the eir for the 75 howard project is it is studyingly thorough only 3 impacts identified for the final issuing one cumulative traffic impact that happens only from the city implements the 3w0ub89 as part of pedestrian plan that bulb out will improve the public safety cause the spear and howard intersection to fail with or without this project the appellant claims the traffic account are tools and the department explains the uses were taken in february 2011 and 2012 for the students methodology although the city's approach is not recent it is a traffic consultant used on the transfer experts list to perform

new account in noah valley of 2012 we submitted that report the traffic is somewhat less than the account in the eir the traffic analysis in the eir was on the conservative does the city traffic consultant performed a peer review and agreed the appellants to the 8 washington case are completely out merit the 8 washington decision is not relevant it is completely distinguishable the 8 washington of all the evidence the city for not having a farmer's market day the eir and the l t w were performed on a farmer's market day the second reason the embarcadero here the lcw recounted and finally to the

point the questions coming up the ceqa guidelines sections are very clear that existing conditions are established as of the date of notice of preparation that in combinations with the following the city's impact guidelines that the methodologies was correct followed ceqa and the city's guidelines and was without flaw the other a impacts although rincon park is not subject to prop k the eir found the shadows will fall apple areas where the public sits it is unavoidable they were exhausted in details it was studied a variety of height to give this board a

scale of shadow the project architect looked at the ones that were referred to in the records and concluded the net amount of hoods is about the same amount as the shots of the boo and arrow sculpture in the park they're more conservative in the eir but nevertheless, describe that shadow as fairly modesty, however, how modest the amount of shadow the eir concluded a significant and you think yield impact not mitigate there is simply no debate so the appellant argues that the eir if analysis a sufficient number of alternative and requested a one hundred foot be analyzed as the eir as the department explained second didn't require an infinite number of alternatives and is subject to the real

estate rule of reason that can mitigate the impacts of eir did present alternatives including the no project that retained the garage and discussed the potential shadow impacts at a variety of heights the potential of. >> a building is lowered but explain any building over one hundred feet in height casts a shadow again, the eir concluded the new shadows were cast on where people sit it can't be mitigated the project sponsor explain why they don't believe to tear down an 8 building structure to replace a 9 story structure and the architect explained the reasons for rejecting a shorter building it was not necessary to analyze an

alternative with only that one story taller in order to to the decision makers about the effect the ceqa guidelines is clear the reason that the eir quote and so forth only those alternatives that permit a reasonable choices unquote it met the standards and it is baseless the city analysis is complete that, sir exceeds the reminded of ceqa and we believe that deserves our support and we respectfully ask that you uphold this eir thank you, very much. >> thank you. >> so at this time we will open up for public comment for anyone who is in support of the project anyone that does not support approving the appeal please step forward. >> good evening joel cop he

will san francisco electrical industry the local contractors that will be on the job and the folks will be on this job it is a parking lot a way better use for the lot necessary and desirable the eir is adequate please move forward the project. >> thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> >> hi, i'm sorry we're all here and i just want to say that you know the appeal is without merit and we need to find better faster for efficient was to make those decisions we've not spent hours hearing about shadows and cars we're talking about a wonderful project that is going to replace a parking lot where people live you'll have to figure out you're smart people a lot of you went to fancy psychology find a way

to make better decisions thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> tim on behalf of the three hundred organization of the action coalition we've followed that for years and have reviewed it in daily we will agree with t the assessment the study is a accurate we saw the tall projects one of the things about this project was an enormous missed opportunities the project the earlier design was taller but tried to pay a much high-level of housing affordability to the city tried again and again in the tenderloin for whatever reason the city didn't continuing of the opportunity a code compliant project that meets the rules we've sit out and in addition to

that went above and beyond the call of duty when was required on the housing affordability a very good in lieu that was leveraged two or three times and uses to build affordable housing we need there is no significant purpose by delaying that you should pass this project tonight thank you. >> at the time. >> donald representation of members of rent-controlled renter we completely endorse 75 howard project simply because we are leveraging the developers financing to build avenue affordable housing 15.17 in the tenderloin supported by the tndc and most importantly with the

shadows i must remind the board of supervisors this park is not rec and park approved that is done by the port therefore the shadows laws don't necessarily apply to rincon park and the day it is casting shadows in late august we have hot days and tourists it is hot out there harder any trees therefore we need more shade not less and forecast concerning the traffic just a reminder about the traffic parcel it is border not touching the embarcadero no traffic on the embarcadero directly on on fulsome and howard spear and stuttering and the garage opening on the additional next to the office square footage go against the

park - against the garage therefore the entrance is in the additional through little or no traffic. >> thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good evening supervisors danny sheet metals workers local one 04 we remain convinced the analyses done by the of any person(s) responsible for the ringing or use of a meet the guidelines of ceqa this appeal she doesn't hold merit and uphold the decision made by the planning commission and move forward thank you. >> thank you very much. is there any additional public comment - welcome and. >> start high time over i agree with this project on the

grounds unlike the 5m it is not displacing the national outlet of people even the majority of this board voted for the 5m i believe that the filipino community will be displaced lake the black community was displaced in the fillmore area where i ordinary from i want to call your attention the representatives told me the affordable housing is at 50 percent of medium that comes to $35,700 a year for a single person this is not affordable housing on a scale of low income affordable housing we have to start at the 20 percent income at the overall session i'll get into further detail i noticed you keep saying affordable

housing and you catch everybody's eye by the toukt it's not for people on fixed income and economically disadvantaged and basis it on the geological location where the building is being built and a lot of professional people maybe working in this area not a comparison that is under to get due process and equal protection under the law thank you. >> any other members of the public that want to speak in support of project seeing none, public comment is closed. and i will now recognize the appellants you have 3 minutes for rebuttal >> thank you very much. >> david rincon hill neighbors

the people keep on planning and calling this project code compliant i mean the advertising if they agree an anything that was not code compliant i mean they're requesting surveillance or variance an exception not code compliant and those will be addressed at the board of appeals in december the other thing as planning in the appellant seems to be in cooperation keep saying it is rhetoric ridiculous to do a study an alternative heights yeah, well i guess so what we requested was there is one shorter height be analyzed i mean it is planning that brought up the fact that a shorter

building will resolve the shadowing problem they should have analyzed with only shorter building not an innight number and let's be clear about the requirements for a traffic study let me quote ceqa new traffic analysis is required to be taking quoting to be taken when recent chancellor in the aersz traffic perseverance or traffic analysis that is clearly the case in traffic study was definitely required i guess the last comment would be don't pass the buck you know that keeps on happening people don't seem to want to

take responsibility and do what needs to be done planning department staff should are three hundred and 50 foot building get out of here go back to new york wasting times and much money city money and staff should nip those things in the bud and the commissions should if staff didn't instead of, you know, right thing to do those things i'll ask you not to let those get passed on to you know perhaps a courtroom situation do the right thing and let's quite wasting everyone's time and money thank you happy night and seeing that we are done with this item item 29 as handheld and is now

closed items 31 and 32 and 33. >> i didn't ask to speak just a couple of comments i want to appreciate some of the comments that made and the members of the public that are critical of this project certainly the project that is before us is quite different than we've heard 100 percent market-rate on sited with that said, i want to also appreciate this project is lateral as a project and despite that given the existing laws even though there are not enough not more than 20 percent offsite i agree with some of the comments by the members of the public we should differentiate

greatly in our offsite fee there is a difference between building 18 unit project in the excelsior had an than a 90 project in the waterfront i we should differentiate within the units to capture offsite in lieu fee that's unfortunate not the allowing law we are limited that the house trust fund therefore i want to appreciate even though it is has nothing to do with with the developer want to convey its support for building more affordable housing vnz that 33 percent 1/3rd is the goal moving to 33 percent offsite in lieu fee i speaking to the eir in and of itself my greatest concern with with that project is, of course, the considerable shadow that is

placed on open space in our district the smallest parks in the district i have to say sunshine an important that impacts on our enjoyment and open space in a city that is a cold in san francisco i think that sunshine does matter with that said, that would have been difficult to avoid any shadow impact without building a project at hundred feet our own zoning allowed to build up to two hundred feet the eir recognizes the impact is substantive no substantive arguments against what the eir is not comet and thorough the motion i'll be making today is just to move forward with item

number thirty and to table item 31, and 32 is now midnight i want to thank the project sponsor and the members of the public that stated there is a lot to be said about this project in general before us is timely thoroughness and completeness of eir i believe that this has been substantiated in today's hearing. >> so supervisor kim made a motion to approve item 30 and table 32 and 33 madam clerk madam clerk, please call the roll. >> commissioner avalos supervisor breed. >> supervisor campos supervisor christensen supervisor cowen supervisor farrell supervisor kim

francisco is thrilled to be hosting super bowl 50. when we found out we were hosting super bowl 50 we were planning right away. we've been planning last spring with many exercises and pulling together our regional partners and local and federal partners to make sure that super bowl 50 is a safe, fun, experience for everyone who comes here. it's the golden anniversary of the super bowl. that's something to really celebrate and we are thrilled that san francisco was chosen for this honor to be the super bowl 50 host. today, we have what we are calling a super bowl scrimmage. we have the second of three exercises that test our assumptions, refined our plans and actively engage our players in planning and response. each one of these we learn new things. we alter our

plans and define them an deconflict them and as we move forward we are speaking with one voice and we know what other agencies are doing and what assumptions are in place. our goal is to work through all of these challenges together. so, again, super bowl 50 is a wonderful fun family event that's going to be 9 days long here in san francisco. we want people all over the region, all over the world to come and celebrate with us. we think that unfortunately our own team will not be part of this. but, other than that, it's like it is the perfect event for san francisco and the bay area. we want to encourage efrj --

everyone in san francisco and sf to be alerted. it will be an important way to get messaged about with such information as what streets to avoid or what areas to avoid. so please encourage your residents neighbors to sign up for alert sf. i'm going to introduce my good friend. police chief suhr who is going to come up. there you are, chief. he's going to give us a few words of wisdom. >> thank you, ann. i will preface my comments as a lifetime 9er faithful, i'm not ruling out that we are in the game. don't give up. anyway. we are so excited to be hosting the 50th anniversary of the super bowl.

again, the planning has started in ernest pretty much as soon as we won the bid for our chance to show case san francisco and as police chief of what i believe is the finest police department in the country, we want it to be as safe as it can be. we've been to the new york fan fest where the super bowl played in new jersey, we've been down to arizona, where the super bowl was played in glendale and went to the phoenix police department to see what they do and it got us that much more excited to be able to host this event over a 9-day period event in san francisco. one thing san francisco is good at is planning. it's what we do. no matter what eventuality that happens, our fire department and with the leadership with the mayor's office, we plan as if that event happens here. pretty much for every eventuality all the way up to and including

typhoons and/or anyway, tidal waves. so, or tsunamis, which we hope never happens. that said, we'll be planning and it will be a great event where we plan and get to know each other. everybody has each other's cell phones and we work with our state and federal partners on what may come and i can't say enough how much preparation is going into this effort to make sure that it is safest. i know with events going on overseas is leaving people right now anxious. again, it's just one more variable that we are training to. we are in regular contact with the fbi. again, there are no known threats to the united states, no known threats to san francisco and certainly no known threats to the super bowl. that communication will remain open regular and we will absolutely make sure that every precaution is taken to

make sure the whole world can come to the super bowl in late january and february and have hopefully what is going to be the best super bowl and best fan fest ever here or nfl experience. i would just say as police chief here in san francisco, you are all invited. >> thank you, chief. now i would like to introduce our very own fire chief chief hayes white. >> good morning, everyone. like the two previous speakers, san francisco is very enthusiastic about hosting super bowl 50. although we won't be in shoulder pads and cleats. the people behind me gathered around the city are like a team. we are the team preparing, planning and communicating about what's going to happen end of january, beginning of february. we are very well

prepared and that's what you see today with the men and women of san francisco county and state and regional partners. what i want to advocate to those visiting san francisco is we will do our utmost to keep everyone safe. we operate at a high level in san francisco. we know there will be additional challenges but we are up to the challenges and as a team we are practicing and per -- perfecting and we are going to assure everyone that we are going to respond to emergencies outside of the super bowl as well as those coming to the super bowl. chief suhr wanted me to pass along what he always talked about and not just from law enforcement but fire department perspective. if you see something, make sure you say something. it's important to utilize 911. if it's not an emergency you can use

311. if you have some ideas related to preparedness and transit, make a good plan and utilize all the city's resources many we want you to understand that from the san francisco fire department that we have 15 more paramedics that will be available. we have private providers as well. we anticipate we will have a high call volume during the period of time, but we are prepared and ready and look forward to hosting everyone here in san francisco. thank you. >> thank you, chief. i'm going to call chief suhr back up real quickly. >> so my partner at the fire department shouldn't have to say what chief suhr said with chief suhr standing here. anyway, with all of our devices we are never going to be as safe as we can be with the millions of people in san francisco looking out for one another. whoever comes to the nfl

experience during those 9 days. especially right now with everybody anxious in san francisco and around the country. please, if you see something, anything remotely out of the ordinary. please call. 911 is on alert to expedite calls. that will be the case in the nfl experience as with other major events with our three world series championships and runs with super bowls in the past and other major events in san francisco. we need to remain vigilant as a city as a whole when it comes to taking care of one another and looking after one another. that's when we are going to be safest and you will get the most rapid response you can possibly get to checkout any possible potential concern.er on the side of the caution, if it's nothing, no problem. you would be remiss what i always call a predictable surprise where you saw something and didn't say anything and

something went on. just call us. >> thank you, chief. now i would like to introduce our director of sf mta, ed reiskin. >> thank you, good morning, everyone. i would like to thank ann and the team for her leadership and what the team referenced. to put on a big event like this does take a lot of coordination and planning and is really preparing us for anything that might happen and that planning is essential to making for a great event. it will be a great event as everybody else has said. i think this is a great opportunity for san francisco whether you like football or not, whether you are planning to participate in these activities or not. the super bowl being hosted here is going to bring a lot of people, a lot of excitement and a lot of goodwill to our city which is a good thing.
