6:00 am
heart goes out and i'm still struggling with the loss of the population, the older existing population because no housing gets built or because newhouse and gets built. i'm not convinced it's one way or the other. i think some induced demand but i think as well warmly approved 1198 valencia ruby adding 12 units here that some these not going to be evicting some of the out-of-date rental unit. i still struggled with as i did read the berkeley report but i think it's a little bit of both, and i think it's not just the housing thing it's a stabilizing housing it's preventing loss of housing. i thought sat through a short-term rental housing that oh i think it's all these things about try to help us to even move out of this situation we are in. so i want to go on record that i think this project is going to go far to
6:01 am
meet the needs create more units that it's inducing any thoughts on that? >> yes. have you actually are to correct the math i think is not right. if you look at your plans from the developer, in fact it's not even hearing to that's only 35% of the dirt is a real number. it's not 46 and if you do your methods will see it's 114/325 feet across the top of your chart in the buildable if you take out that it's 90 at of 290 fax your after getting 35% buildable is what were getting into the top dirt terms. that's the actual math there. so, similarly, it's been said that getting really 40% because the onus is on us the taxpayers to pay for it. i won't deny that a lot of people like idea of getting the land.
6:02 am
it's important because at this point chasing the rentals is near impossible, right get so we are in favor of that but i think 41% affordable housing am i right says eight stories were talking about going up to? is that right? this can be a tall thin towering building with paid for by the taxpayers. on this neighborhood is a cumulative impact of what's going on you. we realize there are three projects going on in the one block of the size coming to you soon. one across the street just had its pre-app. we'll think of it as being 41% and again to recommend, you are saying i forget what 23 million? this land you paid something like 9.59. that's what he actually paid recently for the land for turning it over to the surgeon just saying-overlooking a >> thank you guys. is holly ms. harley, can you comment on maybe what was said the 41% is
6:03 am
public finance? we had some proposition c issues. just, please will be 41% said on the other side? >> i think so there's a couple of ways to talk about these issues. one is just impact. i know that a lot of people think any market rate unit is a data units. to the extent that of all units produced 41% are affordable and that creates homes four 139 low income families. that's great. >> with the aim i? >>. percent of all units >> on the bmr units? >> the ami will be for the affordable parcel it would be around 50% of ami. that's the level where we usually build up
6:04 am
to 60, no more than 60 on the three units on the parcel will be at 55% of ami. june 20 and 30% of the affordable unit will be for homeless parcel. so that leaves that brings the ami parcel down quite significantly. now, it is true that most of the city has to build the vertical. so the other way of looking at it at this issue is, well, with limited resources. so what is the best use of our resources? it would cost us about over $20 million to go out, buy a parcel and build 50 units in the mission right now. so that's 50 units. where can have 139 and will put in about between 20-$30 million in subsidy. that's great. so, where to strike use our money most cost-effectively and get the most units out there for low
6:05 am
income households to live in that we can and by not having to pay acquisition cost on this begin work units. so, yes, this is a partnership and we do need to acknowledge that there's significant public funds going into get getting those 139 units, but we will do much better under this land dedication scenario that we just up on our own and find a parcel straight up. >> salome do the math quickly on my phone you. 139 units into $30 million-sorry. that is two and $15,000 a door. on the south bend that's the city. how much per door? >> are acquisition price was over 200 and will pay another 250 so between 202 50
6:06 am
>> so double >> right. >> thanks. >> that's why these partnerships are really important to get that critical mass of the actual number of affordable units up as high as we can. >> okay, thank you. before i move on, ms., any additional thoughts? i want to make sure everybody is heard could flush out all this information. >> no. i definitely have been like i was every in the room has said which is kind of weird because i don't know half the [inaudible] definitely, i want to see the former housing good to me i feel a small little silver going up into the sky is not as much as could be done and the art space those lost the blue-collar jobs that were lost to put eight a dollar or 500 square-foot café, i am happy to hear that the
6:07 am
[inaudible] rpr is two dollars per square foot. the buildout for pdr is about $60 per square foot nonunion probably and gifted at $75 a square foot. so it doesn't cost a lot to do pdr shall whereas a ada bathroom that's what we've been on nonprofit. so of course i'd like to see more of the pdr returned to that block or 50,000 ft.2 were lost and were talked about not getting 10,000 back. so, i'm also concerned when i hear thispeople about the were five people living there were only talk about three units and not eight. i think you have some documents that to hold judgment on that until that part of it is more fleshed out to see really two was there, who knew about it and when. so, i don't know where this process is and
6:08 am
whether there is one to say, okay what happens to those what if there were eight and three bmr and you just for the project for three. i am kind of hesitant to say great, we got 10,000 out of 50 are should be happy. i just feel like this block was completely destroyed and mr. antonini talked about these are contracted out to those jobs of contracted out to canada. to me, the people who need to walk to work and the blue-collar jobs these to be there been replaced with tech workers were going to get on a bus and commute downtown down south of the border that does make sense to me that this is what you're approving. nevertheless, i would definitely like to see that bmr you look at further to see whether there are eight or three units. i like to see more pdr that was affordable. there's nonprofits that should
6:09 am
be involved in renting out that pdr that are like to see long-term lease that would give to make sure that is going to stay affordable and not turn into the tech shop back and paid the big bucks and still the artist over at cell space left out in the cold because somebody who's making coffee can afford to make more than somebody was making a picture that nobody will buy possibly. so i would just like to see were the community built project. i sat and negotiations when can which was talked about hitting soon be easy to switch out all this parking in turn it into peter. he sees no reason why not and are unaware that got off the table because i seriously don't think mark carson that block is going to be helpful. if you build it they will come. if you don't have parking the people who move on their own not have cars. this neighborhood is thoroughly transit positive. there's no reason in this day and age were building parking lots visit of art space for our speeds used to be. those are my
6:10 am
thoughts. scott had one other point that is turned to whisper to me and i do not hear. can you just come up >> sure. >> thank you, commissioner the one item that took a tremendous amount of labor to grate on the site was that so spaces one early scoops into an entertainment permit when the entertainment commission was formed and the cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. were talked about a future community arts center on that site over to see some way that entertainment permit can be transferred or grandfathered that used to existed sony may not allow entertainment at exist at that site. i don't know but has been a historical thing. tickets nine years. i just want in the record and entertainment permit was issued for that location for the cows 10,000 ft.2 so state and some consideration if this committee art center that is built were institute on a location to take
6:11 am
it vantage of the previous permit exist this way to transfer 10 was there ever be fantastic. that's the funny shot the relation between [inaudible] that's j.p. morgan chase. investment fidel is a local develop your the entertainment permit not losing that >> thank you. so, you answer the question we can ask for more on the land dedication because we opposition c is. about the entertainment permit, acknowledgment, transfer? baby staff >> lb something would have to differ to entertainment commission on.
6:12 am
>> is entertainment permitted in this? did come find out right now. i did have a petition regarding trade shop use. the trade shop is pdr use. basically is described in the code as a retail service use that includes personal repair, poster, carpentry, tailoring a couple other items. >> some designer on the computer not open up 100 desks trade shop. can i do that? >> no that's office use. so permits things that are basically physical ground. like a contractor's office project will be contractor considered a change of use. >> r divisive pdr entry jump why would one or the other? >> pdr is a broad category and trade shop is a subset. within. are you up arts activity light manufacturing, things like that. >> thank you. >> with an example trade shop? >> like a carpenter's office were a post-retailer anything that is basically in a mix
6:13 am
producing something. >> i realize were different on the entertainment commission the entertainment permit but typically that's a request for event space in the flood sound, but? >> correct >> this pace were talking about would be right below residential units which >> we would've a different type of whether it's nighttime entertainment versus right arts activities difference between a dance studio am a which of the arts activity or concert venue would you be nighttime entertainment. so without knowing with the publicist >> one other question i want to open up up our gravity can i do it in trade shop? i think we had this great issue or would that be pdr? >> so >> art studio? >> television arts activities about be allowed to the trade shop? >> well arts activity use. arts activity is separate and treasure.
6:14 am
>> both pdr >> that's a question i've the project sponsor pdr gives more variety in tenants and why narrow to trade shop? me that would get us additional >> our proposal was retail --trade chuck. which is more flexible than pdr trade shop. >> you can't [inaudible] >> i'd experience recently admission and 17 will be taught we had a perfect trade shop and no, it's not customized enough. so it's light manufacturing. it's a big trade chuck is a really limited category. pdr is much broader. trade shop is a sliver. >> so you rather have a broader -why would you not one of a broader brought to attract other tenants? trade shop economic tract-my concern is legal pdr for example on 18th st. then we can to any retail.
6:15 am
only accessory retail with pdr use. we do want to have some neighborhoods serving retail a small amount. >> so, i guess puppy happy to move to approve the project with 12,000 ft.2 of pdr >> second. >> third. >> in a market rate site. >> commissioner johnson >> thank you. i've heard that motion of your thing i would say i don't know going back to commissioner hillis's comments on the site being contiguous. i can be supportive it and not the especially since i actually
6:16 am
do believe that if were all still in the commission and eight years time so must we look at this project having adaptively use of parking. i know it's less than what is allowable but i don't believe that it's can be parking issue. >> that's why give a higher number. spector >> commissioner antonini >> is to make a similar motion with commissioner richards i don't get that trade shop on 18th st. trade shop-retail would be trade shop pdr and most of it you might be will to carve out 300 feet of it because motion is for 12,000 because my math brought us up to 12,300 if you use a whole trade shop. if you just to 12,000 new stove three and feet that could be retail on there. that's the most. >> unsupportive i think it's a good motion >> commissioner mar >> if i may ask you one more time, the site, you intending
6:17 am
to provide pdr has a current doing it on it for the housing site? >> we are planning on providing arts related spaces. >> we don't have entitled building so we will be working with the community and doing design work and line for a permits and engaging a community outreach so we want to devote ground-floor space to arts uses that are needed and desired by the community. >> do you have a must build number of units for the project? >> the muscle number of units is 70. >> that is a mix of different size of units? >> yes, and we tend to emphasize larger units two bedrooms and three bedrooms for families.
6:18 am
>> are you concerned because of the site limitations that this will result in a eight story project? >> we would like to build high density, so we are looking at an eight story project, but again we don't have a design project so we want to pursue that pursue community engagement and build a project that is high quality, aesthetically pleasing, meets the needs of the community and is very habitable for the tenants that live there. >> that means you will be-on repeating probably what you said i could you be putting out an rfp brother architects to design this project? >> that's right >> in what form to the two projects have to code just so the units on the lower part, those for the market rate as well as for the affordable are livable units relative to like an airplane privacy? the fact
6:19 am
that the affordable the market rate project is asking for a exemption on the [inaudible] needs the alley as i said earlier, too narrow and hourly for my level of comfort if designing a comfortable quality project wrapping up, you're what would you do? >> i can't speak to what the future architect will say. in the hypothetical they put out. what i can say is that like all our projects, that we have we are committed to high-quality design. most does provide funding and work with developers to achieve high-quality design. they'll be the case on this project as well. >> uncomfortable you are stepping away from using the portion as proposed right now. i do see some potential problems because the singular 25 feet is of great concern to
6:20 am
me. i know another project where the distance between the bone things is creates major impact on privacy and comfort for those people who live there. mr. zero case, your project will be taller so though be potentially some dialogue in one form or another because in the end, the project is no different lives in the but they should be quality long-term investments in housing that it meets the larger needs of the neighborhood which is the middle of change. i appreciate your permitting to a different degree on the architect because i knew the project build high quality. thank you >> i'm just curious, why they chose to put the affordable slang which to be taller on the south side of the lot number which would then some shadow on that muse and the shorter six rebuilding?
6:21 am
>> this in north side alley. so the shadowing of the building is primarily because of the shallowness of the alley and the height of the building and the tenderloin we have the east-west alleys which are four stories and it kind of works in the majority of alleys, even along chinatown, as well as the middle elevation on knob hill, are 2-4 stories, four stories maximum. most days, one side is taller in order to protect light and air for the other side. we designed county guidelines which require that the angle to the bottom of the adjoining property is a 45° angle leaving like him. you may remove that with a to mark open project on van ness between venice and poke they dedicated
6:22 am
themselves to doing that on the alley. this but to the project now with the one side becoming eight stories. i am concerned that will be impacted but i assume it's too high and you take a close look at that. >> yes. >> date. commissioner omotalde >> i just want at a couple more thoughts. i think this is a good conversation to unpack with the on-site land dedication means. it's drawn here but really it's not designed at all. so it'll be on the affordable there on the challenges that i think the future has their work cut out for him. then, i understand the city wants to make its money is goes far as possible, but that money could've also been spent at another opportunity in the city. right? it's a decision to spend it here, making it such further, but if the developer had just built a number of
6:23 am
on-site unit was required to get those something is good i'm not saying it's better or worse. just that it's a decision to be made. lastly when assessing comparing before 90 venice because those very expensive project. >> commissioner antonini >> on at on a motion to recognize to scrap motion with the correction that were read into [inaudible] that for the maker. >> yes. just as a point of verification, commissioners, since were increasing the amount of the pdr space if there's any additional findings you want to later on, is that were requiring more than what this project has been providing. so such as the mitigating of a
6:24 am
higher fraction >> higher percentage of the pdr that's lost. we feel that's a good thing. 11.5 hours i'm not a slam. >> there is a motion that has been seconded. >> you want to call the question? >> yes. >> the motion is approved the project with the staff and amendment there were submitted to the commission as well as 12,000 feet of pdr on the market rate budget. >> on a motion commissioner antonini's bureau >>[roll call vote] >> so moved commissioners the motion passes 502 commissioner moore and wu voting against. >>[applause] >> we do have additional
6:25 am
business so they can quietly go outside and bring conversations outside of the great. thank you >> jaspal comment and i have no speaker cards. >> any public comment? not seen any public on this, the meeting is adjourned. >>[gavel] spans >>[adjournment] >> ♪ ♪ ♪

did you know that many buildings in san francisco are not bolted to the foundation on today's episode we'll learn how the option to bolt our foundation in an earthquake. >> hi, everybody welcome to another episode of stay safe i'm the director of earthquake safety in the city and county of
6:49 am
san francisco i'm joined by a friend matt. >> thank you thanks for being with us we're in a garage but at the el cap center south of market in san francisco what we've done a simulated the garage to show you what it is like to make the improvements and reduce the reflexes of earthquake we're looking at foundation bolts what do they do. >> the foundation bolts are one of the strengthening system they hold the lowest piece of wood onto the foundation that prevents the allows from sliding during an earthquake that is a bolt over the original construction and these are typically put in along the foundation to secure the house to the foundation one of the things we'll show you many types of bolts let's go outside and
6:50 am
show the vufrdz we're outside the epic center in downtown san francisco we'll show 3 different types of bolts we have a e poxy anchor. >> it is a type of anchor that is adhesive and this is a rod we'll embed both the awe hey that embeds it into the foundation that will flip over a big square washer so it secured the mud sell to the foundation we'll need to big drill luckily we have peter from the company that will help us drill the first hole. >> so, now we have the hole drilled i'll stick the bolt in and e post-office box it. >> that wouldn't be a bad idea
6:51 am
but the dust will prevent the e post-office box from bonding we need to clean the hole out first. >> so, now we have properly cleaned hole what's the next step. >> the next step to use e post-office box 2 consultants that mixes this together and get them into tubes and put a notice he will into the hole and put the e post-office box slowly and have a hole with e post-office box. >> now it is important to worm or remember when you bolt our own foundation you have to go to 9 department of building inspection and get a permit before you start what should we look at next what i did next
6:52 am
bolt. >> a couple of anchors that expand and we can try to next that will take a hole that hole is drilled slightly larger marathon the anchor size for the e post-office box to flow around the anchor and at expansion is going into the hole the same dinning room we'll switch tamet so, now we have the second hole drilled what next. >> this is the anchor and this one has hard and steel threads that cuts their way into the
6:53 am
concrete it is a ti ton anchor with the same large square so similar this didn't require e post-office box. >> that's correct you don't needed for the e post-office box to adhere overnight it will stick more easily. >> and so, now it is good to go is that it. >> that's it. >> the third anchor is a universal foundation plate when you don't have room above our foundation to drill from the
6:54 am
top. >> so, now we have our foundation plate and the tightened screw a cple of ways to take care of a foundation what's the best. >> the best one depends on what your house is like and our contractors experience they're sometimes considered the cadillac anchor and triplely instead of not witting for the e post-office box this is essentially to use when you don't have the overhead for the
6:55 am
foundation it really depends on the contractor and engineering what they prefer. >> talking to a qualified professional and see what. >> working for the city and county of san francisco will immerse you in a vibrate and dynamic city on sfroert of the art and social change we've been on the edge after all we're at the meeting of land and sea world-class style it is the burn of blew jeans where the rock holds court over the harbor the city's information technology xoflz work on the rulers project for free wifi and

7:07 am
need and i think you have a array of city staff to take any questions you may have on the amend e item, however, large or going forward i wanted to start off by talking about the project so 41 street is a mixed use project at the northeast corner of first street and mission for one million square feet of total office space 200 and 64 units, one hundred and 69 room hotel and ground floor retail and pub opted open space to two towers this space received its approval from the planning commission on may 5th who's before you the street vacation of own alley and a portion of jessie street and also in addition to that some of
7:08 am
the details of the downtown preservation fund i'll be happy to with you on so the main reason for the legislation before you the vacation of jessie which is necessary in order to build the administrator tower to the height contemplated in the district plan that was adopted in 2012 the plan is a comprehensive vision for shaping and growth in the southern side of downtown the transit center focuses on regional growth towards downtown san francisco and in a sustainable manner for the sculpting thought you tower and the extra and improvements to the streets and the open space as the parks downtown in order to make that happen it includes the clarification of parcels in the area to increase height
7:09 am
limits and including a landmark tower from the transit center from one thousand feet and several other nearby sites with 6 to 8 hundred and 50 feet the plan leverages the intent to generate revenue for the transportation facilities including the support for the new transit center and downtowns improvements of the sidewalks and other infrastructure to create a public realm so some of the think interesting aspects of this project just so you're aware of that includes some of the one time fees that are generated from the project again this is not the issue about you but important to understand the project in general estimated to generate one and $17 million fees those fees are die construction dot
7:10 am
net for an issuance of november 2016 this is about one $.9 million for downtown parks and 2. $9 million for school and childcare millions and sustainability fee and talk about did affordable housing consultant in addition to the downtown lease but the transit center is 11 want 9 with the transportation street is 3747 so the issue before you is the street and authorization to create the new downtown preservation fund so the i wanted to first talk about with you the purchase for jessie alley so this is the purchase price is $22 million, about 22.6 to be exact providing
7:11 am
the closings doesn't occur beyond or before the effective date which will be $33 million plus and in addition to that in partial consideration the city's agreement to sell the property the buyer will produce the 20 percent inclusionary fees that maybe applicable under the san francisco planning code section to 33 percent affordable housing fee the affordable housing payment as it is known and the city will waiver the portion the downtown program as well for this the fee buyer will pay for the project under the planning code but we've essentially down is create this fund and fees and kept them one a mile radius to
7:12 am
the principle project and dictated those for purposes of acquisition and in that one mile area that fund will be in use for no less than 10 years and acquire administrative code by the mayor's office of community development that is a brief discussion i think the purpose for us being here i want to invite a representative of the project sponsor to come up for about 3 to 5 minutes to discuss the urban room development and how it relates to the street vacation for the context. >> thank you, mr. buckley welcome. >> good afternoon, supervisors with reuben, junius & rose representing the project sponsor
7:13 am
for the ocean wide center we're going to keep our focus specifically on the items the street vacation component and the ordinances that allows the direction of some of the affordable housing development impact fees for the community in the big picture the project has approve patterson's within the past month including the planning commission approval on may 5th when the entitlements were approved it includes the 5 thousand square feet of area that is fronting jesz i didn't street and the additional we're here for the recommendation on the vacation component and as i said on the use of required and voluntary affordable housing impact fee payments so quickly i want to mention on the street vacation the fact we're asking
7:14 am
to vacate or with the existing streets and mean we'll have access public assess around the project prompt and in reality you think that is the case with respect to jessie street terminates at one street and in conjunction with the street vacation creating a number of easements that allows the project assess for a pedestrian cross and throughout the site so one of the key reasons this is this the driving the open room a pubically assessable open space that is on first street and the dedicated parts of jessie street within the urn area the second component before you is the creation of downtown neighborhoods preservation fund that allows the project job
7:15 am

7:36 am
signing this very important piece of legislation and let me begin by thanking supervisor wiener so far his instead of leadership the sponsoring the legislation that will raise the minimum angle for anyone purchasing tobacco products and e cigarettes to the average 24 and that will take effect on july 1st of this year i know that supervisor wiener along with his co-sponsors supervisor mar and supervisor cowen and supervisor farrell and ultimately the entire board had a adopted this and this i know that the supervisors with working closely with our duty 0 who has been documenting why it is showing so important to continue our efforts as a city if not as a state to continue be rooiktd the access to cigarettes particularly at journeying or
7:37 am
younger ages that is advocated by the groups like the tobacco free coalition i want to thank them they're not just here in san francisco but the entire region and all over the country working with the health department making sure that supervisor wiener and not only pay attention it the science and data it is going on but that we do our best to end the suffering that is brought by by long-term smoking that obviously is the cause of cancer and asthma and heart disease we do our best to educate the public in doing so if not the industry that sells overseeing products and ultimate our kids are your family when in
7:38 am
their 18 and 19 is shown that the coalition has shown over and over you're putting that some 95 percent of long term smokers had begun smoking at the age of 18 perhaps younger and as certain under the age of 21 those habit are so hard to end voluntarily so that's why we have to go to many other front to try to do this and that's why i think that the supervisor wiener has found a person cause and public health health cause if the violation kriebs the department of health to make sure that we do what we can to end our these diseases as much as we can to make sure that we also reflect as the mayor of the city if we can save a lot of
7:39 am
money if we are able the medical systems we have to have in place it treat cancer and asthma with smoking is an incredible experience to the public safety the cleaner air with the coalition work on families that second-hand smoke impacts this has another critical reason why we want to do as much as we can and i think we're on the overview we know that supervisor wiener is already in contact with the governor's office as we are and with his the 1184 particularly senator leno and senator henry's to insure that the state which maybe hopefully in our minds the second to join
7:40 am
hawaii to end the sales of tobacco products and less people under 9 age of 21 it doesn't make it right because your 21 you buy tobacco products wild to end it. everyone hopefully with the adult level of age 21 that people make better health decision tore themselves and their family so i take this opportunity to thank the coalition i know that in looking at the data as they have done in working with us this year was a strong sense interest the data it the smoking rates are higher amongst people of closer and amongst the let the record reflect community and other xhucht we rank it with a hard impact sales work that is done by tobacco industry the may or
7:41 am
may not lgbt community that's where we really have good data to show that the more we do to educate your communities be about this the better off we'll be so with all that background i want to say to supervisor wiener you have again showing the good leadership i'm going to give the pen avenue we sign this your accumulate more pens than anyone but thank you for your leadership and also working with such important groups like the tobacco free coalition supervisor wiener i'd like to invite you up here to say a few words >> thank you, mayor ed lee i'll give that pen to the advocates and the district for they're really horroric work tutor sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us; 24 legislation in a way that highlights this critically
