>> [gavel] >> [please hold for technical difficulties] >> i am good. there it is. alrighty. is everyone back up and good to go? all right so welcome to the entertainment commission for tuesday, april 4, 2017. as a reminder to the audience while in the

commission please silence all electronic devices and thank you sfgtv for broadcasting this meeting and the first order of business is>> the first order of business is gen. public comment. members of the public may address the commission on items of interest to the public that are within the subject matter jurisdiction of that commission with respect to agenda items, members of the public may address the commission for up to three minutes at each time such item is called. so this is gen. public comment for items that are not otherwise on our agenda. >> item number two-- >> if you just want to do seeing none and then close it so that then we know it's close. >> seeing none. thank you. >> the next item is approval of meeting minutes. these are the meeting minutes for march

21. any comments, changes, corrections from the commissioners? if there are no changes or corrections i entertain a motion to approve. are you still reading? >> yeah. >> motion to approve the minutes of march 21, 2017. >> all right, is there a second? >> i second. [roll call vote] >> alright the meetings are approved. moving onto item

number three. reports from the executive director. >> i will try to be short i been so long winded lately. so this is a report under legislation and policy i will get to what is the second number eight later on this evening on your agenda about the amplified sound legislation. moving to staff and office update i wanted to update the commission based on last meetings request to work on organizing the quarter a little bit in terms of operators we schedule meetings so that april 10 is opening day but whatever and that is at 1:00 pm so if one of them get a quorum any of the commission is invited to attend and it will be fun and work. and we do it outlook invite to see if we can

get some attendance. but we can try to work one getting everybody there. so, that is happening. just to reiterate to the commission the retreat is scheduled for april 15 which is saturday from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm and i think we said the address, didn't we? >> no, we will do that tomorrow. >> okay, so were going to do a proper agenda item within our 10 day window so we just have and been able to get to it so put that on your calendar and if you have a conflict, please tell me. we did choose that date within our google polls and i hope everybody can be there especially commissioners have never been to one before. we are going to be moving our offices this is a discussion that has been in

discussion for a long time. city hall space is premium and as you know we share an office with labor and standards enforcement and we have grown a bit ourselves and they are growing and so, we have been able to hopefully stay for a while and move into a space that is just us down on the ground floor and they don't like when i called the basements of the call the ground floor. and, that is not a bad thing. so i just wanted to let the commission know that are being from two weeks to four weeks before we actually physically move but we will be having to change every bit of paper and your business cards and everything else so when we get there we will have to make sure he reissue everything. >> yep, and the last couple

items are on the heading of corrective actions which i haven't done this much of lately unfortunately but there was an incident at the grand after, you know, an incident not very long ago and it was called to our attention obviously through the inspectors as well as the police department so we had a meeting last week with the captain and the permit officer again, at which time we tried to again figure out what exactly was not working in terms of their security plan. so this is typically when we see violence or inattention that results in violence and some kind of an amendment of

the security plan that were looking for. we have had conversations about this a few times and have got an email back in terms of their changes. again, were writing a revision to the security plan which will include id scanners at the door and more exterior security personnel and their assistance in i guess putting them in yellow security jackets in order to promote their visibility and the communication amongst each other should be increased and internal incident reports incident reports need to be written immediately after an accident happens. so we've reiterated this and were going to watch very closely because the capt. and i both agree that we should changesome things or more things will occur.

some other things that are happening is we had an important meeting with hue. and there was a variety of sound complaints that we we're getting. i wanted to sort of know what, what was going on and how it was going. so i think it was productive i hope, and then, i think the inspector may touch on the sound test that he did do relative to the neighbor that's consistently complaining about the sound at the side door over there. moving along in terms of correction of action hopefully we will see some changes well. and happy to take any questions. >> any questions from commissioners? no? >> ari, thank you. >> the next item on the

agenda is-- >> i'm sorry to keep interrupt you but there is public comment offered on every item. >> is there any public comment one the executive directors report?seeing 99 that item is closed thank you. >> our next item is a>> item number four is report from the senior analyst community and cultural events dylan rice provides updates on efforts to foster, sustain, and promote outdoor events. >> good evening my name is dylan rice and media events are done i want to mention to sfgtv that we finished this one friday or

saturday this weekend to get these things done. and i like to say that we promote these community and cultural events that are assets and raising quality of life in san francisco as a result. anecdotally, i'm getting some responses from different people and there has been a lot of interest in a couple of key recommendation that hub and spoke organizational moller model and this isand this make sure that all the spokes the fire andwater and all that would be connected and this idea of a shared, digital platform so increasing transparency and conductivity

and being paperless and being able to track applications initially. the project is going to inform their report as much as it will inform hours. we will be in charge of the controllerss office and the department of entertainment management and whenever you have a large gathering you have to have medical resources and there was a process to, you know, for the city to approve those plans from local resources. and so, the good news is they do the same thing and i've found that [inaudible] centralization problem across the problem and the spoke and

that digital [inaudible] here it is promoting the city reports with the other city departments and judy and i with your support will be sharing our reports with the mayor's office and making the recommendation that there is a task force developed in key departments that are going to improve the process of the hub and spoke model and other key processes. that is more long-term implementation. one of the recommendations of the report is to create a centralized roadmap for event

producers. i think i talked about this last time. and so, i am in the middle of creating the content for that. and so, when i have the draft done i will share with other departments but the point of it is it's really a better position that's in power and to have successful outcomes we need to have this be more transparent and more clear. as far as content itself if you have, you no, if you have process maps then i'm creating a calculator c to know what your fees are before you get deep, deep in the planning. and, the best practices like do people have a business plan mother doing an event for the first time. and then when it comes to public safety and public health. to wrap this up 2017 for me

is about convening funders and thinking of ways to haves responders fund his resource and the second provide pro bono services and they can't give money because they provide to these culture events. also, the idea of doing mixtures and trainings to increase the network and share knowledge. that is the update. i'm going to be doing these updates for the commission. if there any questions, please let me know. >> any questions? commissioner leewhen you do the walk-through map are you make a chart like let's say if you start off then the next thing

is you to get a room such and such are you have to go to the police department any have to have a walking one here because there is people learn differently as much. leave as many online commissions as possible. this having like one, two, three, four, five, steps and other kind of visual tools can be a huge. >> the room number is going to be-- do you want to go through or do you want it to put the link in there? >> yeah, the actual direct line as the person but [inaudible]

the challenge is not over sharing. i want to make sure it doesn't scare people away from the process because there's so much information. the other piece of this is just knowing which jurisdiction has which property. people don't know for example that civic center plaza is so here is the different agencies and a tool to look up the mapping tools and stuff like that. >> if this church once of a sweet fair i could just say well, if you go there you got your little chart and this is

the procedures and you can do your research from there, right? >> yeah. and on the reporting, since summers coming now, there will be a lot maybe after festival that we could see here we could get your take on it. i'm sure. >> well right now, dm and the police department will do an after action report that doesn't cover all of them and i think that's a really good idea. i will check in with the producer at the end of the season. >> yeah with the crowd and all. it is a public safety issue. great, cool. >> any other questions or comments? any public comment on this agenda item? seeing none. oh, yep public comment. you

have three minutes. >> julie milano i just want to say that having the book events at places like the golden gateand the presidio each system has its own way of getting through this and it might seem like that butwell and other thing we saw is garbage and i found that there's never been enough trash receptacles in public areas for the crowds that show up to even the crowd and obviously we've dealt with the trash but obviously lumping in the

>> any other public comment? with that, this item is close. moving on to item 5. who wants to go first? >> that evening commissioners this is sean burke i am one of your two inspectors i had a i've been working with a permanent offer in the mission statement that was a restaurant and it's now open up as a pizza place the speakers have applied for an llp and it leads us to

the new complaint about the knockout i'll be working with inspectoror polly as thee sounds i have been in touch with the complainant, i've been in touch with the operator, and we're working together to ensure that they are thin c code and, were gonna let another permanent officer here on ingleside at 4653 mission this is a complaint that came through 311 and then was-- the supervisor's office was cced on some communication services in all hands on deck*because i will be

reciting that this password weekend and i just want to show you. not this past weekend but the weekend before they received a complaint for the house eontheir planning extensions to that for midnight in the first time that i visited themhis issues with doors to complete all around.

i spoke with the head of security and managements make sure that the city solution that i don't have to have any given. >> that's all i have for you. i hope it doesn't that again. >> any questions commissioners? >> are they going to have an afternoon party? was that the afternoon party? >> yes it's sunday it's an afternoon party. we had complaints come in over the last six or so and i don't know any residential just yet and not getting any contact information with the plaintiff i just want to make sure that i

can hear anything past you earn 50 feet which are determined to be the highway overpassyou know i try to get as close to that party as possible and when i don't get the next steps. >> in the afternoon a freeway actually is louder but once they go by that personi guess there might be a missing session that i can raise it higher on that.i know from my

experience that they had been wrapping up like 8 o'clock or 9 o'clock. >> but what time is it after sixers at like 2 o'clock in the afternoon? >> unfortunately, do not write down the time that complaint came as but i will research toswhen the ncomplaints are coming in and that way we can get some kind of consensus on this >> shawn, just a point of clarification if i might. is sunday a backyard as opposed to friday, saturday and sunday night? >>they are setting up outdoor

amplified crop sides on the and that's what their mentoring because it doesn't really touch it. so everything they do on the inside thatis good but then only have thoughts of some there outdoor anything >> we hardly get any day parties. this is something that is a change.that level does go up on there's more traffic but i don't know. >> i will see if i can trackback as to what time those tracks are being put in and i

will look back in the notes and put together some of the history as to when those things came in and keep a close right. >> certainly, thanks. >> thank you. >> any other questions? all right. >> good evening commissioners. several items to report to you about. start with or questions so carmen langue we had this issue on a friday night a couple months ago and iwould say looks like a nightclub anddavid dj and i will talk to

the guys about it is officer the station we talked about it shortly and he took control the issue and it seems like it issue and it seems like it should be fine there's no complaints at this time. >> the red tavern is a complaint we gota couple years ago where they throw complaint to crystal stewart. talking to the complainant about the operation and i told him i would go out anyway and double check and i did a walk-through this weekend it basically confirms that they're not doing anything i talked a little bit

to management about the history of the complainant for the management there but that's not an issue for the entertainment commission and that item has been afforded to the richmond station permit office. new complaints is swank 444 per perpresidio avenue. i'm gonna stop by just remind them to keep the door shut. it's not a hard thing to manage we managed it periodically depending on the weather and sorts of things throughout the year. we should have that wrapped up relatively soon. another complaint came up about 155 fells st. this is about noise on or even after events or maybe even before.

it wouldn't take much for the patrons to bother neighbors in the neighborhood so again it's a situation where i will stop by and talk to management and hopefully get them to knock it off. >> i did a sound test in support of their limited live permit and basically, they can handle a sound in their given space and the distance to neighbors and and so forth and so on but they don't do anything really particularly loud so they were issued a sound limit and everything looks fine. there may be some residual complaints to deal with but we are handling that. on the 26, a follow up with hue nightclub we were getting complaints from a neighboring complaining about the sound and we decided we should do an

interior noise test so that's what i performed and the details are in the memo there's a memo attached to your notes and basically, on that particular night there was a lot of stuff going on. there was a venue that was connected to the residents and they were in operation and again, when you're talking about that type of texture you usually talk about one venues impact but nevertheless the venue sound was still within the threshold. not to say that they do not experience sound issues because there is a side door right there and if it's open for any period of time it's going to increase the sound level and some nights if there is a disturbance and security is coming in and out of the door then the door may be open and they made experience some impact that is not compliant.

but nevertheless, that's not what the particular test that i did revealed. and when they came and we talk to them about the side door and in talking with the executive director i'm probably going to put a little more pressure on them to make sure that they stay on the side door issue to give the neighbors as much relief as we can. and, that is basically that issue. we will be following up and monitoring i'm always on broadway sort something out look into pretty much every weekend. another sound test was hawthorn and they received a couple complaints and they receive these complaints from a particular complainant and that complainant did not want to participate in it and they didn't want to participateand

this happened twice and we talked to them before maybe about a year ago and it was the same issue. the plaintiff did not want to participate in the sound test. the reason why is it would be good to do an interior sound test for from the block is not much of a sound impact in the venue is downstairs so you don't hear that it much. but they might hear the venue downstairs but nonetheless the residence getting into that particular residence nonetheless it has to stay in compliance. so it's basically our determination that they are in compliance. if you have any questions, i be happy to answer if not, see next time. >> you know, the side door has that problem a lot. have you asked him about a sound curtain or anything? vs about a sound curtain or anything? >> for which one?

>> hue. >> >> they have doors and i would say there's always people coming inthroughout the night. usually though close the doors if it's less busy but usually they'll be packed to about 12:15 am and 12:30 am. oh, as far as the side door i do believe they do not have a curtain that something will mention p will make a note about that. >> i have a question. for swank it says 12 o'clock noon. was that during the day? >> sometimes we get an email and i would just write down the time that i got the complaint if it says inspection or sound

check that is whatever time that i went. >> right. any other questions? any public comment on this item? seeing no public comment the item is closed. >> police department comments and questions but i don't think that we have a lieutenant here. so moving onto item number seven hearing and possible action regarding possible permits. >> okay thank you. our first permit application for this evening is a limited live permit and this is forec-1399 - yalcin, irfan, cha cha cha on mission, 2327 mission st., limited live performance permit, change in ownership.the new owner wants to continue to

have live entertainment it's a restaurant and they plan to have live cuban bands perform probably about four times a month but they do want to have the flexibility to do this during the days of the week and they will end at 10:00 pm and currently they're just looking at sunday's. i have received seven letters of support that are in your file and two of them are are from supervisor rohen and another from mission station and they approve this with no added conditions and for a little bit more here is the owner mr.yalcin.

>> good afternoon my name is mr. yalcin and i am the owner of the cha-cha-cha restaurant on mission street. the mission is very live and very colorful and multi-ethnical place and they have musicians mostly from the central america and the caribbean andpeople come and they are looking for the place and this is the perfect chance to provide this for them and it would also be like the neighborhood place that , needs that culminate with all of them. i talked with all the neighbors and everybody is fine. and just because they

have planning in the daytime in the future will be in the nighttime around six or 8:00 pm and everybody will be happy to do it and it will be a great idea. >> commissioners, any questions? >> i can say that i own one establishment on either side of cha-cha-cha currently and previous music has never been an issue and the new neighbor has been there's been a great neighbor so far. >> all right, thank you. any other discussion from commissioners? any comments? alright so it is a limited live performance change in ownership and i will make a

motion-- i'm sorry, public comment first. any public comment on this item? no public comment. public comment is closed.commissioners? >> i make a motion to approve. >> drive a second? >> second. >> >> [roll call vote] >> congratulations. okay are seconds and the final application is for sunset reservoir brewing company and it is onnoriega st. in sunset

and they want to have a limited live performance permit they won't have live bands and they want to be able to do this throughout the week up until 10:00 pm. i have seen many letters of support i counted 140 today from patrons and neighbors i didn't see any letters of protest. i do not think that i put it in your file my apologies but i did receive a letter of report as well. so they approved this permit and they asked that no live music happen after 10:00 pm monday through thursday but the nature of the services that it wouldn't be. so here to talk more about the application is owner hilary passman. >> yeah, that about says it all. we have a restaurant on

sunset and we want to have live music and in the outer sunset after 10 o'clock we don't really have people going out to dinner much so that won't be an issue with that. >> thank you. any questions from commissioners? ari, thank you. any public comment? all right, seeing no public comment public comment is closed. ne a discussion or conversation? >> i would like to say that this is exactly what i think that we need more of in the outer avenues is culture and entertainment. there is very, very little to do and we go to the reservoir brewing often but

this is exactly what we need nightsupported. >> okay is that a motion. >> i will make a motion. >> great, do you i have a second? >> second. >> [roll call vote] >> congratulations. >>next item is item number eight review and possible action to review and change the conditions on the place of entertainment permit #ec-1377 place of entertainment and extended hours premises permit

for halcyon. do we have anything from staff that you want to say? >> amii'm happy to review but i've know that you guys have been here for the last few meanings and we intended to do this a few weeks ago and the owner that house asked for the continuance of the item based on this just to follow up today regarding the found complaint and here we are so--so ms. milano is here this evening. >> great, and i know we've heard from a number of different neighbors as well as the operator of the venues and a number of her experts and we've had a number of conversations and i think we are particularly interested in figuring out where we go from here and what we can do not necessarily to make everyone

happy but to at least move everything forward so that everyone is able to continue on in the same neighborhood. so with that, miss milano if you want to come up and talk about where you are and what might be changing and what your plans are . >> thank you. >> thank you. >> good evening commissioners and director kane the last time that we were here i talked about the venue and the noise complaint at the currentstructure we received a revised recommendation falter and associates andthe contractor andrew mckeith and

they're having an hvac meeting on april 5 tomorrow at 2:30 pm to discuss the scope of work. the equipment will be delivered and work will be completed on april 9. it will take proximally six weeks to complete the work. our goal is to complete one section per week and open first scheduled operations on friday and saturday night. the skylight an hvac treatment will include working on the prescribed ceiling area and painting the prescribe ceiling area and painting this area and this

will go on for six weeks and easter week is a short week so this is the contract making sure that we have an ample number people working that week because we want them to work a full work week and the ceiling is very complicated it's not just a plain ceiling there's a lot of beams and a lot of our lighting is already on the ceiling. so the work could go as long as six weeks and the work will go as quickly as possible and it's going to take longer than the indicated for weeks why we asked for six and we will measure our progress and hopefully the commission will find this satisfactory. >> any questions from commissioners? >> i do have a question, on weeks five and six, monday and thursday vespers to be fourth-quarter ceiling work completed? >> yeah, it says third i'm

sorry. >> it's basically the same thing over and over again but just to keep it simple each quarter is different but to keep it simple we just worded like that. >> so thank you for coming back andletting us know about the timeline i it's good to see something concrete and to be able to measure the progress with this will be helpful so thank you for coming back and we appreciate you coming back. is there anything else that we want to ask? >> i mean, we haven't seen anything above your interior ambien obviously but this is a painful deal but have you had any customer's complain that it's not loud enough? >> yes and people say it's not

loud enough. there was an article that came out on the nightclub and people actually complain that the club was not loud enough. >> maybe you can go higher without going outside's were talking about like, 120 now, maybe. >> so when he comes tomorrow were going to ask him work can be done and the dba levels father doing the work. >> and, i guess is starting out? >> yes or. these are all specialty materials to that had to be ordered from crazy places that are hard to pronounce. >> no i understand thank you. >> anything else? >> i just want to check to you have the necessary permitting to start work? >> the work prescribed is not

require a permit it's just a spending a second sealing off of the existing ceiling. >> and this is i mean in terms of the scope of work and what the engineers look at the should be sufficient to help the sound leakage that's coming from the roof. >> it is a $100,000 deal so i hope it is. but yeah, it's supposed to be with >> all right, great. >> so looking at your schedule here, you know, if the work is completed by 6 may that you have 1,2,3, for five -- six nights here are and as the work progresses will you behaving music all is nice? >> yes. but we can continue

that until the work process. >> all right. okay, thank you. and then were gonna take public comment have some more discussion about this but thank you for coming back with this. and so with that, i want to open a public comment. a c both of you here so welcome and come on up one at a time and you will have three minutes. iso i just want to say that i'm really happy about the progress and the people are happy and there's a plan in place for the progress and the goal in the wish here is thatthere are structural improvements so she can operate as loud she wants and as loud as the people that go there want it to operate and party and in the future we are

so looking at how do we do that so that they can operate after 2:00 am when it's quieter in the neighborhood and we don't hear it next-door to them because the reality is that sound leaks and we have a dba of 110 right now were still hearing it. we are still hearing the low frequencies they are much better but were still hearing the base. so i would recommend the commission to find a way from 2 pm and beyond that we get balance that a lot more when the neighborhoods a lot quieter. that's my ask as you go through this process and if there's anything else that can be done in the meantime period when it is completely done but again were still hearing the base and

low frequencies. i would be happy to answer any questions. >> when was your building built? >> it was built in 2003. >> is it double pane windows? >> yes and they're very structurally sound. >> any public comment? no. okay them public comment is closed. commissioners, we were asked from the neighbors that we measure the ambient noise after 2 am in the future. we've got a plan from the club owner a which is what we asked

for. is there any other discussion or conversation or action that you would like to make? >> sorry, i just want to give you a little direction. the item is here to review and change conditions to the permit >> and i think that we have to consider if there are changes we want to make between now and then and then we will reassess the new sound levels. >> weaver very expensive plan

that is before her right now but i would be hesitant to make and he changes right now until we see the results of this plan and what they are we retest this because we don't know what it is yet that is my thought. >> yeah, i think, you know, you have to give them the chance and they've already done the due diligence and the cost and the contracts that your sending to do the sound check and they will have a new sound check because they want to know if they can go higher or lower so there's a lot of things to go with it. they are working under their 100 or 110 dba limit. it's not going to catch every single frequency but as long as they stay in their compliance of what it says, i don't see any reason that we have to do anything major until after the soundproofing is finished and then we can

determine whether we need to recondition or not because it might work really well and it might not work. but they're also taking a risk of spending $100,000 to do something so i think they were all here and we been here for a while and they are part of sticking to their part of the bargain and let's just give them a chance as long as they stick at the compliant level.they should be okay with itbreaking the law here. >> i think that everything that needs to be said has been said i just hope that with the changes in the schedule that the poe stays in the timeframe

with the commission and that they just respect the neighbors. >> i think is a very sensitive time period between now and when this is completed.this complies absolutely the letter of the law in this period especially because a letter of action can deftly complicate the final solution. >> all right so, >> do you want me to make a motion to continue? >> i don't think we need a motion. >> should we continue a review in six weeks? >> you can certainly pick up that way for sure. for sure, that seems like the cleanest way to do it so we should never review in six weeks? >> i make a motion to continue from six weeks from this hearing and six weeks from this hearing to get an update review

and a preliminary test from the inspector to see where we are at. >> all right, there is a motion on the table is there a second? >> i second. >> [roll call vote] >> all right so, this is been moved forward. so, thank you for coming in with the plan. everyone please stay in touch and neighbors have also heard what the plan is and when we will be continuing this conversation and we look forward to hopefully having some good intermission at the next hearing on this item so thank you all. with that, the item is closed and the next item is discussion and possible

action regarding a draft ordinance amending the police code to revise and permit requirements, procedures and filing fees for outdoor amplified sound and sound truck permits. >> the last time the discussion was postponed to allow commissioner ben bleiman to review because he was not sitting as a commissioner when i did the presentation and he wasn't prepared to participate in what i'm looking for essentially is a motion for the commission to recommend to the board of supervisors to adopt this ordinance on the condition that any it revisions or city attorney issues or anything that

they would come back to you again. in the end, i would like to follow up with some sort of letter that will create from a motion like this and so anybody who does spons want to move it along add the board knows this commission is in support. >> commissioner ben bleiman, have you had a chance to review? >> i have had a chance to review and it seems it's cleaning up the police code in a way that has additional all meaning than what we are doing now and this will help us to better permit events and help us to lump them into permits that may or may not have been created for the purpose of this am very much in support of this. so, i am willing to

support the motion move forward with the director's recommendation on the commissions that she stated. >> [laughing] >> well then to reiterate this it would be a motion to recommend the board of supervisors to adopt this ordinance under those conditions . >> do i have to say all that? >> no, you can say yes. >> okay. >> [laughing] >> okay so there's a motion on the floor, is there a second? >> second. >> all right there were support from members that aren't here but is there any public comment on this item? any discussion from commissioners? all right,

let's move forward with a vote on this. >> [roll call vote] >> all right, you have our approval dr. green. keep us informed us that moves forward and you find our support and i'm sure that will likely hear better as it moves forward with thank you for coming up with that. item number eight is closed and item number nine is commissioner comments and questions. anything from the commission? >> i just have a clarifying question for the commission from the last hearing where bryant tan offered a timeline

foor the commission and that was about a section of the police code. >> this is sort out order but i think we can do this. president bryant tan had amended a section of the police code and it sort of confusing but i think the action that was taken tonight likely supersedes that action because that action would only begin counting towards another notice period towards a full-blown suspension hearing. does that make any sense to you because a lot of this is off-line. so he found

an old section of the code that doesn't necessarily jive with what the commission was doing this evening so in any event, i believe--i mean, the action that was taken tonight was approved and i'd be happy to go back and show you the efficacy of the section that he planned out and it's totally not what you would think it is so i went review that with the city attorney and had to explain why that was probably not the best actionor motion forward and this was probably going to be more effective what we're doing here, okay? >> yes, i would encourage you to get in touch with the commission staff after the meeting to resolve any questions you might have on that. and i'm sorry for taking things out of water. >> and the thing is they are

doing something about it and if they didn't come back like they didn't come back the last meeting because they didn't have the information and then they didn't come back again, then we have some recourse maybe with that.but since they are making the effort and they have the consult you know soundproof saying in order to get it right it takes a few weeks already so in order todo it right we have to give them a little leeway and they are good neighbors so we should talk to the director and get that part cleared up but i think it sounds a good deal to me. >> that was an agenda item that we've closed we can bring it up later but are there any commissioner comments or questions or other items that were not already covered on the agenda? all right seeing none the meeting is adjourned. >> [gavel]

a year now $87,000 taylor's dollars a year we got a grant that covered 22 thousands of that but and came to the minnesota street project in two people that development in the better streets plan project they saved us space for a nonprofit organization national anthem and turned out the northern california fund they accepted us into the real estate program to see if we could withstand the stress and after the program was in full swinging skinning they brought up the litigation fund and the grants were made we applied for that we received a one thousand dollars granted and that grant allowed us to move in to the space to finish the space as we needed it to furniture is for classes the building opened

on schedule on march 18, 2016 and by july we were teaching classed here. >> which we found out we were going to have to leave it was overwhelm didn't know anything about commercial real estate we suggested to a bunch of people to look at the nonprofits displacement mitigation program you have access to commercial real estate either city owned or city leased and a city lease space become available there is a $946,000 grant that is provided through the mayor's office of economic workforce development and that's going to go towards boulder the space covers a little bit less than half the cost it is critical. >> the purpose of the organization trust to stabilize the arts in san francisco

some of the reserves to be able to continue the serves we know our clients need them we were able to get relief when was needed the most as we were fortunate to arrive that he location at the time, we did in that regard the city has been - we've had tremendous support from the mayor's office of economic workforce development and apg and helped to roommate the facade of the building and complete the renovation inside of the building without the sport support. >> our lease is for 5 years with a 5 year onyx by the city has an 86 year lease that made that clear as long as we're doing the work we've been we should be able to stay there for decades and decades.

surface . that's what i try to get at when i do my clay. the camaraderie that we have here. we have students that have been for for many many years. we have students here for the first time. we share our skills, our formulas. this is how we learn. how did you do that? let me show you. that's the attitude that the students and the teachers have here. it's a really wonderful nurturing place. welcome to th

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 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 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 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 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 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

top. >> so, now we have our foundation plate and the tightened screw a couple 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 foundation it really depends on the contractor and engineering what they prefer. >> talking to a qualified professional and see what . >> madam secretary we'll make us

please. >> item no. 11 - engineering. federal cost share agreement with the united state army corps of engineer for an embarcadero flood study. >> >> good afternoon, commissioners executive director forbes and i'm the manager here to present the federal cost-share been the united states corps of engineers and the port joined by cal eastbound senior project planner with the united states corps of engineers based out of the capping production in sausalito we've had a long relationship with the u78d and look forward to continuing that. >> so some background the continued authorities program the architectural on the seawall project started through the rivers and harbors act of 1952

and amended as of in conflict to the united states corps of engineers that requires at least 4 elected state senators the continuing authors program to delegate the authority down to the local the division of united states corps of engineers for approval for smaller scale projects that are managed at that level we move faster and allow us to avoid waiting for legislative people to come along will be drafts for the united states corps of engineers one of 3 a has to do with with coastal flooding infrastructure as i mentioned the united states corps of engineers to fascinated those had recently created a production center for capping for the continued authorities program for capping projects in

sausalito most of us have seen this lied a seawall the area in question at the border of older and newer sections of seawall how we got to where we are in 2012, we made a request to the san francisco corp. for assistance under the 101203 actually a one-203 or 205 both are correct. >> by 2016 he you said for those will volunteer first time to get the studies underway to make a finding of whether or not they should procedure in the federal interest that is worthwhile for the federal government to undertake in 2016 i think they department of homeland security that was cost

beneficial and trying to move forward the next step in the process to have a cost schaffer agreement for the study phase for the potential construction resolution it is limited to $10 million for the designated authority we're focusing on the muni tunnel and the bart entrance the embarcadero near the ferry building. >> one thing to point out while we're undertaking this it authority project the smaller scale didn't preclude us we're exploring moving forward materially with the large-scale recreation process the distinction between the two

are parallel the general investigation process is not limited to $10 million but makes it takes a long time and requires steps that are not always predictable and the one thing we for us katherine will that the project manager for the united states corps of engineers and lead both of those projects so no chance there will be you know winding away from each other without be coordinated and for the smaller scale the modeling the economic modeling asset mapping and other types of things all that information will be available from one study to the on the capping study etc. excuse me - >> the tentative schedule an

$800,000 for the study half will be the port and by the federal government looking like wrapping up in at the end of 2018 with another decision document have an array of materials to construct the materials and staff will be back to seek authorization to enter into that agreement for the construction constructed fixes. >> at that that the cost-share for the construction phase is two-thirds 1/3rd the port will be provided 1/3rd match so what is before you today is that the federal government cost sharing agreement that is the essentially the same as under the united states corps of engineers for all cap 3 projects

the key is do study phase we have an equal cost phase with the united states corps of engineers and allows for credits to make up for some of that it has the standard nationwide upper limits $1.5 million for the study and six months inform how to do it our estimates are much better than that looking for $800,000 half from the federal government and completion of the fourth quarter of 2018 so those are the key terms as of this morning the united states corps of engineers has agreed to not expect the documents to change from what you have presented in the packet that's it i'm available to answer any questions and faster to be joined by the united states corps of engineers for more depth. >> so moved. >> second. >> is there any public comment

on 11 a any public comment on leveling a public comment is closed. consume commissioner kounalakis. >> okay we just authorized on rfp for another look at the seawall for a lot more money and a lot bigger project explain to me how this has been with the other project that we're pursuing. >> so the in terms of engagement with the united states corps of engineers i'm sorry caveat with the seawall manager that planned on being here unable to join us i'll do the best i can. >> we can help. >> colleagues pitching in here so the rfp that the commission

approved for a broader study is one of the things that is contemplated in terms of how to connects to the united states corps of engineers is that for the larger united states corps of engineers the general investigation project leads to one hundred of million dollars dollars limited by our ability to match that process has certain the legislative action i mentioned one the water resources act and also appropriations of funds from the united states corps of engineers start studying to kickoff their project an option available to us to take on the study portion of that ourselves and not wait on a rare new start that the congress level but makes kickoff ourselves and in a way in coordination with the united states corps of engineers to handle the studies to further the large-scale the big scale

projects so those consultants which will be active in august. >> i'm going to step in a little bit here. >> so what you approved it general fund first of all, for a consultant team to do the planning phase of seawall this is very broad scope of work to identify go from conceptual to really fine-tune in terms of risk by location those are the planning phases to identify where we're first available dollars to address the emergency repair, emergency most risk at at risk areas of waterfront that interact how we respond to a big earthquake this to the have a study for federal determination in an area of the waterfront that currently shows flood i'm

using a one hundred year storm the united states corps of engineers is one very great potential source of funding for the large seawall project so on the general obligation bond we have 3 had and $50 million no 2018 that is down payment to a 3 to $5 million project we're looking for multiple sources over time to address the 3 mile stretch of seawall i hope that helps to answer the yes requester. >> ours with the army study a. >> an implementations of an desire phase of phase one of improvements. >> it didn't include the entire waterfront only one part. >> this is just this one section. >> so, yeah mostly to that question the united states corps of engineers - so what we're

doing looking for other outside sources as director said the united states corps of engineers but makes even at the core two separate processes we're engaged in we are talking about now the little one. >> right. >> and only looking at and spending $500,000 for the study have to seawall and has strategic think advantages we're following up on an official finding of the united states corps of engineers that for at least this scale that it is worth it in the easy of federal government it repays them more than a dollar for every dollar they spend and has certain advantages. >> commissioner vice president brandon. >> thank you for this report i'm happy we are collaborating with the united states corps of engineers and hopefully, will be one of many to come. >> so this is a really good

presentation thank you. >> commissioner katz. >> i'm also pleased and a while back we were talking about the efforts on the seawall we had to go after the federal funding opportunity and get added partners to help us in the project as director forbes pointed out coming up with the down payment we need side funds i'm existed to be partnering with the united states corps of engineers to look at options. >> i agree with might fellow commissioners the united states corps of engineers they're a great resource we're building a coalition we're talking about 3 to have 3 to $5 million is maul with small by the definitely want them on our side this is huge this is one of the biggest

projects ever. >> by a long mile; right? is really it is a really big for the city and huge undertaking you think the dual threat of sea level rise it is a complex challenge. >> i'm glad we're there thank you. appreciate it. >> colleagues all in favor of the resolution >> opposed? >> item item no. 11b - request authorization to advertise for competitive bids for construction contract no. 2781, crane cove park construction package 2, park improvements. >> good afternoon, commissioners director forbes david with the planning and development i too am pinch hitting for stephen he's out be patient with me left me in good shape here to advertise for construction contract 2781 for crane cove

park construction package two this meets the port strategic objectives of renewable and liveability and resiliency and as you may know the major project along the blue greenway and pursuing for over 10 years a few months back in segment of the 2016 we awarded contract number one, that was site demolition in preparation for crane cove park a dry by the site it's moving forward well, this request it is is the preliminary consultant the landscaping and crane recreation parks plaza and pathways and then we'll be coming back later this summer to request authorization to authors the

page 3 the 19 street improvements again, the second package of a 3 package project what is illustrated is the site plan slipway ford in the middle of screen the park project is every thing about the bottom of screen i'm sorry westward of like that. >> way for you this includes an alternative bid for the 19th street parking lot that is the third package i've talked about the funding sources for in include the 2008 and 2012 parks bond and some fund from the economic department federal grants we used for the site wide investigation of pier 70 one half a million dollar of the funding we want to investigate

in building 49 restoration and the park restrooms the engineers estimate for the total project including the parking lot is around $26 million including all the alternative bid items we've identified here this is exceeds the current budget in hand we broken down into several bid alternative items we can award based on the final bid and final funding in place we decided to include in the alternative bid items are articulated with the yard and the children's playground and crane 14 the crane on the northern end of the slipway the utility racks with part of slipway four elements and then lastly park the 19th street

parking lot we are anticipating and hope we can deliver this but makes likely not be able to deliver all of them >> working with the lbe and c m.d. identified 21 percent intaushth with a 10 percent bid discount for lbe prime time actress we as a local hiring for the construction consistent with all our contract packages those are the means of advertising at the last commissions meeting commissioner vice president brandon spoke about the openhouse we had one of the projects that was highlighted at the openhouse for the local and small and disadvantaged businesses in the city about contracting opportunity helped to man the

b seeing none, public comment is closed. commissioner vice president brandon. >> okay. thank you so much for your presentation you did a great job stephen will be proud i'm happy that is before us it's been a its been a long time coming and an absolutely beautiful park and happy that we are breaking down it so we have there are several opportunities to participate in building this i want to know is any money set aside so for maintenance and upkeep of this park. >> bless you. >> bless. >> i'm going to let brad handle that question. >> good afternoon, commissioners we're looking at cfd over areas of pier 70 the portland project, there is some that parcels along illinois street we're hoping to generate maintenance dollars to assist with the program for

crane cove park and we're working with tom carter and his folks to come up with a process for the park to support this tax. >> we'll have some type of plan. >> yes. we'll be bringing that with the forest city transaction. >> okay. thank you. >> commissioner katz thank you very excited to see this coming long and you can my fondness for the greenway as we look at the project funding some say what is the total project estimated to come to? >> for the total project funding we have in place right now is $33 million $641,000 that includes all soft costs our budget for this phase of project

remember one morbid package to put out is approximately $20 million one plus million dollars and you've already except for the 6 - >> let's see. >> i'm trying to get a sense of where we are in terms of what was anticipated and we used $6 million $4 million for the construction of part one and used approximately $2 million for design and permitting at this time and what was anticipated for the costs for the district. >> phase three we're anticipating around $1.4 million and one million dollars of that is the grant and so our match is approximately $400,000 so we're coming in under budget? >> or at least under the project funding? not - well, so - let me go

>> the base bid is $20 million as illustrated on the screen is $26 million we're not getting to all the alternative bid items 0 we'll use every penny and complete as much but makes the $26 million and the 6 that's. >> 32. >> plus the additional we're right. right where we think we need to be with contingency. >> any intermits it is making a significant improvement so for some of the other businesses and developers and other folks in the area my opportunity to partner with them to get the add funding for the parks for the thinking of the warriors stadium nearby perhaps. >> david as long thought

philanthropy will be great for fissuring and structures in the park if we approached the rec and park they have a small distinction that works on philanthropy and a defined program we wonder if we can workload they've over capacity they're using all their resources but makes this is something we will be exploring right now we're moving along with that phase of park and have a gap with future phases and we will be looking at some external sources to complete the fund a fine point on the park ash describing the philanthropy it what i said we've had discussions with businesses and community leaders to be helpful on some of this. >> part of the way we structured the additional bid items items that might be a good match with philanthropic giving.

>> okay. >> commissioner kounalakis. >> i'm just curious what the timeline is for the process for getting bids in and when you think you'll be underway with the construction of the project. >> so as i described 3 bid packages with an was award i was out there an hour ago to construct the locations and they're going doing good and hoping to award this in june and they'll begin the shoreline work and water can be done seasonally and hoping the entire project that are significantly complete by spring of next year it loose great in to the picture are those people swimming? >> will it be that kind of a -

>> those are people in kayaks. >> oh, people in kayaks. >> human powered boating people may want to dip their toes bus not the most comfortable place to swim with the activity in the area. >> it is beautiful. >> thank you. >> david great job colleagues no more comments. >> all in favor, say i. >> i. >> of resolution 1670. >> opposed? madam secretary that passed unanimously next item, please. >> >> item 12 regarding the pier 70 special use district proposed by forest city development california, inc and associated public benefits. >> good afternoon, commissioners brad benson on behalf of the pier 70 team this presentation today is an exciting one about all the public benefits we hope that the

pier 7028 acre sites will deliver to the port and the surrounding neighborhood i really want to hand it off to sarah dennis phillips the office of economic workforce development pier 70 project director. >> so she'll walk you through to the presentation and have jack vice president of forest city here to answer any questions should they come up thank you. >> good afternoon, commissioners pleasure to be with you today we're here to take you through the draft level overview we're trying to get in public benefits as we develop the study oewd has been before you i think a number of times to talk about the southern bay strategy pier

70 we've approved 3 of the projects in the strategy pier 70 is the next one up and that's what we're here to talk about i think that is helpful to remember we're looking this project in a context of something much larger and point in past presentations we're looking at negotiating to apply to all projects along the bacons to address all the things we want to see out of projects in relatively consistent way that didn't mean we're trying to apply a one-size-fits-all what 24 brings is different we're hoping by looting them together when they add up in 15 years and developed we've been able to appetites together all the sum for more than transportation and more open space benefits but makes have a consistent complete neighborhood framework up and down the shoreline.

>> so i'm going to take you to topic by point. >> a 33 percent of policy unit westbound the 28 acre being affordable the way to get to that is laid down on the slide for all the residential unit and as you recall prop f for the residential buildings being rental rather than for sale all will have 20 percent onsite unit provide for low income and 60 percent of ami we'll also have 3 dedicated household furniture affordable pharmacies totals three hundred and thirty unit between the parcels the development of those parcels building the buildings from the ground up will be paid for onsite sources tax increment from the hoe down yard and the economic development and the in

lui development fees gets us the 99 to one million dollars to fund the gap on the three hundred and thirty up affordable housing units we're working with the mayor's office of housing on a district 10 southern bay front marketing plan for all the affordable housing units not only in 42 but makes you up and down the shoreline to get the word out to the people in the neighborhood we want to apply we have a neighborhood preference program that the mayor's office of housing it administering and will apply that to the rental, building how had plays out on the site the 20 percent rental buildings will be happening where fees are paid and primary identification of where the affordable housing sites maybe all of them within walking distance to the children's playground in the plan transportation there is two

large component and actually a third as well a big part of plan onsite transportation demand management which we in the planning role is toddler called tdm and forest city toward a 20 percent reduction what is expected to happen through a number of the way a transit pass program so get the people using muni and bart a shurment service not just assessable to residents but makes to the neighborhood and one or more bike stations proposed from the dog patch and up the bay front interesting the bike share and bicycle parking spaces and lockers the project is paying a transportation sustainability fee we expect to be to $50 million we're working

closely with sfmta to find the projects that really move the needle in getting people out of the cars and making things better a couple of these i'll stick to the slide there are a number of transit improvements of 10 muni line the 12 muni line, extending those and improving and new line it is tentatively called it will go east west from the castro into pier 70 and turn around and provide an east west connection and a ferry landing you put a lot of priority and a lot of the fees can go to help to make those priorities happen environmental sustainability a key element as with all the major developments we're working on the project meets or steady

all local codes this is a given i didn't list them all the green building are better use policies a number of them you know the city has coma a long time in the last 45 years adopting the strongest green policies in the country this will meet all those and looting a number of things to do on a hard building basis but makes we have a district of 28 acres that is a gray or black water system to use the water and solar lighting on the streets and parks district a based thermal heating solar based and thermal energy loop we're not sure but makes things that we will explore sea level rise obviously a priority you guys have been

discussing today this project like the mission rock will sure the project is protected if sea level rise maim by elevating the building and open space and using the shoreline as a buffer space what i think that really exciting we're working on a new long term a tax paid by the building onsite to create a long term ongoing funding stream for sea level rise and shoreline protection and that's supposed to our estimate are just estimates it can produce one point one to $3 billion over the next year's and open space you heard a significant amount about that at the d-4-d about a week ago 9 arcs onsite and looking many of the parks i included a couple of slides i'll not go into that much the 9 acres that

are proposed more than dog patch so represents a doubling of the amount of assessable open space in the neighborhood and the economic fist what are we going doing for jobs estimates are 10 thousand permanent and 11 thousand construction a thirty percent local hire we're working to flush out the lbe commitments to local businesses here and there are a number of components to that plan i think that are will help the neighborhood in particular looking at an outreach coordinator to work with the community that are surrounding and looking at 345eshg9 and outreach with nonprofit that work in the area we have those direct connects easy looking at agreements typically do that with security maintenance what would be

exciting training people in entry-level tech might be web-based or market and a significant amount of tenant to fourth how to make a direct connection between the tenants and the offices. >> arts industrial and public facilities art and inclusively has been the core of this project since the start the muni have a commitment they'll have new work spaces onsite at rent concurrent with what they're paying in terms of ever burden and developing a new arts facility obesity with a local nonprofit has the ability to work with new market tax credits or others donors to ramp up the funding for the program and provide the below-market rate leasing to organizations be it performing arts what have you to

flush auto the keksdz with nonprofit and with the appropriate art organizations might be and industrial facilities we call pdr priority production distribution and repair a commitment there will be a commitment within the cba for a minimum of 50 thousand square feet we're hoping to steady and not jew just the retail and then childcare rather than paying fees we're looking at this providing basis to meet 80 and one hundred spaces historic resources obviously another core from the beginning the you go union iron works historic district is something the port in motion several years ago this project will help to flush it out 3 of the key buildings will be restored and rehabilitated building inspection 12 and 21 and building two and then ear also working for forest city the port

had been working on interpretation plan for the district that can be embedded spot open space and the buildings so one of the final slides how to make sure that actually happens it will be embedded in into into the development agreement we'll have a binding commitment for the public benefits to be secure how it works out as we go to the build out at each phases the developers will come forward with a base for the directors approval and estates the conforms with the plan you'll adopt this july but makes the affordable housing plan, the transportation demand management plan and any other society benefits coming with that space there will be a compliance review report before we sign off to allow it to move forward we're going to look at goals and

the targets through the plan and oewd staff we're working on that now we have potentially three or four district attorneys are monitoring that and several more in oewd 3 people that look at the development agreement and making sure the public benefits are met and supported by the port staff as well and this is a slide you saw last week with that, i'm available to answer any questions thank you is there any public comment on 12 a, public benefits review? any public comment seeing none, public comment is closed. commissioner kounalakis >> well, this is really great, thank you so much for the presentation every time we have another overview of pier 70 more and more of the wonderful benefits emerge and it is just a

terrific project for one enthusiastic of seeing that progressing for all the public benefits that will be coming along with that thank you. >> commissioner katz. >> very exciting thank you and i think of - the things we work on this is one of the most existing and the opportunity for a difference for all san franciscans as we build out this area a i have a couple of questions and beyond the scope of the presentation but makes in terms of the residential unit will will be built and the affordability will that include the multiple bedroom unit that's a a problem we've not built enough and parks for the kids to make sure. >> with the majority of new development and the projects that we approved either there

the planning department or other agencies in the past couple of years put in a minimum 40 percent two bedrooms and three bedrooms so. >> that's with the units that are dedicated to affordable. >> it applies to the whole unit they have to build to the market-rate. >> and 3 right of parcels will be 100 percent affordable is that a little bit like siloing. >> we don't think of that that way one of the things that works well, in the city mix of everything with accessary dwellings we have the same assess tote services that market-rate person has i think what we've seen in the past whether or not in the building doesn't foster the integration most of activity happens on the street level

rather than in the building as and 100 percent affordable we're able to provide the services whether we're relocating hope sf resident with greater need or homeless or families that point childcare on site it provides a mix of both and having it within the same neighborhood we have the integration we need. >> talking about some of the clean tax systems the sustainable systems we're putting that in there have you thought about onsite solar for the facilities you talked about the solar street lighting and several water systems any focus on - >> solar is considered for the building basis we're not mandating it our better roots policy look at a mixes of usable open space and solar for the use we want to make sure we use that we're going to looking that by a

building by building and hopefully, we'll be able to use that. >> the last thing looking at maybe i've missed that the irish will be a playground. >> yes. >> i assume after clean up is thoroughly done wasn't that a former next to a power station there's a risk management plan the port plan in the area you're talking about the hoe down yard and any sort of use requires clean fill on top of the existing to make sure that people are protected. >> as we're looking it is not playground the standards are different depending on the used in terms of - >> the risk management plan sets forth the standards for those types of parks to include the area so it is safe.

>> okay. >> and very excited so thank you. >> commissioner vice president brandon. >> thank you very much for this presentation i'm happy to have a presentation a couple of weeks ago that is clear and easy to understand i also had a question i'm not sure commissioner katz got the answer i wanted regarding the b and the 100 percent and 20 percent what is the difference between those 20 and one hundred. >> so really the ways we're getting the actual unit will be 5 to 6 hundred affordable housing units are in two ways the buildings with mixed in as part of the 20 percent that means 100 percent building 20 will be restricted to low income families and the other 80

percent will be like any other market-rate building within the 100 percent go affordable building all the unit will be r50ik9 to families of low income or other need as we work and build out the site that's the two ways when we talk about the building 100 percent affordable buildings we need money for the restriction so the site brings the land that is wonderful but makes it still costs us close to you know about probable locally three hundred and thirty thousands of local subsidies for construction of affordable units but makes we build so that will come from condo on the building that show fees we don't intend to had had opt out within the condominium buildings it is often challenging the affordable having the income to be able to purchase an affordable for sale building is challenging and tend

to see in our condominium buildings often high hoas we're not allowed to subsidize through the inclusionary program it intend to workout if we have a strong revenues to build the one hundred. >> the fees will be condo. >> yes. and no permitted home buyers for affordable in this project. >> one of the affordable parcels for for sale building would be possible but makes not something we're looking at. >> i'm happy to see that you've created a fund for the stream of sea level rise i think that is absolutely wonderful and especially look for in all our projects regarding the 10 thousand

permitted jobs and 11 thousand construction jobs when will that be thoughtfully and what we will actually be doing on this project. >> as we bring back the project four informational this summer you'll see a job program attached to the d da and our podium will have our hiring agreement attached to the document so they will come before you the thirty percent mandatory local hire you'll see those. >> you've done a lot work this is helpful so thank you very much. >> very thorough very good job. >> director forbes any comments. >> sure you've captured this

is a great project all over the place transformative this is a long haul that many staff have been involved in going back over a decade and great to be at the point we're approaching approvals it is a tremendous effort and exciting for everyone to be gets us over the finish line to see the change to the dog patch and something we look forward and sarah and the team putting it together have a separately throughout through for the public to see ♪ advance of the approval it is a fine thing there is a plethora of transportations to housing for the environment is important to call it out a lot of work to get those public benefits into the project so thank you to the staff and forest city for working so hard and making that a great project >> very good thank you very much appreciate it.

>> madam secretary next item, please. >> and item kvmd kchld development, jobs and housing trends and accomplishments. >> commissioners good afternoon for the record john rahaim director forbes great to see you and glad to be here i've been coming annually for the last three or four years and pleased to be here i will say to start and finish this i'm really every year a collaboration between our staff and my staff has been growing and more constructive and as you'll see in any presentation

we're overlapping in the work more and more everyday and great collaboration and director forbes history is part of a that but makes certainly the w40e8 staff is great to work with over the last couple of years i'm going to give you a brief presentation about the issues and he growth challenges and talk about briefing about the areas of overlap between the port and planting they're growing everyday and siege much more overlap to give us a sense of city's growth since 2010 it has been growing in the city we've seen 10 thousand resident a year and a couple of years more than that something on the order of one thousand per month we've seen in terms of population we've seen one and 25 thousand new jobs that is a little bit out-of-date closer to one hundred plus an

extraordinary job growth and seeing finally in the last two years somewhat of a catch up on housing prudence that of those 15 hundred units a year more than tripled that over the last 3 is something we're trying to keep up with the demand one of the carts of cow hollow crisis today a number i find compelling and telling i don't have a slide the regional jobs housing since 2010 the region has produced excuse me - in excess of 6 hundred thousand jobs and we have produced 60 thousand housing units so if that's not an indication of a housing crisis i don't think of nothing that is the region has to do catch up with the housing production and in san francisco i think that producing over 20 percent of

housing we're doing our part i've been a side note working with the neighbors and cities to get them to do their part here you see the sustainable strategies is the regional plan often referred to as as planned bay area that is based on state law that was pass several years ago somebody needs to do something 35 requires all region to have a regional land use to transportation plan that plan it shows an expected growth to 2024 of 6 hundred 0,000 housing units and 6 thousand jobs we've already gone over half of the preksz projections so we're far studying the growth pace, if you will, that was projected when was plan was adopted 4 years ago and you'll see that san francisco shares to maintain 15

percent of regional growth and to produce about 92 housing units which is will accommodate over 2000 people and see that we're projected to grow by one and 90 thousand jobs but makes we've grown by over one and thirty thousand jobs and this was a projection that was typical for the period between 2010 and 2025 so other pace of growth is much more substantial than projected in those numbers when the first bay area plan was produced three years ago what is i mean quickly i think it is always hope to step back and figure out the abstinence intense growth we've identified 4 strategies one is there a return to cities particularly with the baby boomers my

generation and the millennial generation those two cohorts are the largest in the american population those two groups are the in fact, what is fueling urban growth right now and happening at the same time and the kind of perfect storm in the bay area that return to cities is happening at the same time that the technology industry is exploding with growth they've left to the city's clove growth monopoly none of us erupted and we're no did ready for the second factor since 2006 before the revision recession we've seen a decline in driving in the population as a whole and seen a decline in car ownership which we think in the city is a good thing it actually means people are using transit and obviously the third thing the technology

industry in particular not just tech industries but makes the reverse of the psychos and 70s the population was moving to the endurances now the population is moving back to the city and the companies are following so this is kind of the exact same thing that happens in the psychos and 70s now in reverse and thinking about land use as a way of reducing green house gas and how we think more holistically about the connection between land use and transportation all that creates the champs wear challenged particularly with the creation of a city it is the affordable housing issue is potentially the issue that keeps me up at night we're soon to be recommending to the board of supervisors our recommendations on the inclusionary the changes for the inclusionary housing which is been a point of much

discussion in city hall over the past month and moeblthd and their resilience issues and the notion of making places that are special in the work place how do we do this and make that happen this map shows the areas we've done specific neighborhood plans for over the past 15 years it is the area of the city that is seen the most growth and the ear that is best connected to transit and other transportation systems and it is where the land use have allowed the growth to happen in rough terms 80 percent of city's growth will happen in 80 percent of plan this is the areas you see highlighted and much was the land you control the project you've heard at pier 70 the most imminent but makes on the port is playing a huge role in neurology or enable 2,

3, 4 to make sure that happens the way it's benefiting the community i thought i'd highlight some of the various areas of overlap the planning department are working on a number of obviously strategy initiatives and infrastructure elements obviously with the seawall is critically important to you and we're happy to are part of making that happen there is the work on the southern by the way, front and connect 19sf is our citywide transportation that is led by the planning department it is actually a 50-year vision not appropriate to call it a plan a 50 years vision how we think about transportation in the future that will then influence various planning efforts along the way we are in this effort we're doing 50 year

landlord projections half a century out and obviously sea level rise and i'll talk about that and your waterfront land use plan update we're involved with the sleeve we're involved with and on top of those initiatives the projects in our shop as well as your pier 70 you heard about and mission rock and seawall are far under the environmental review process the back land the alcatraz and other projects that is something that is in our ceqa shop and pier 90 and the fire boat station no matter the others are highlighted single projects last year and small we're working on both from ancillary standpoint and the entitlement stand point we're very much joined at the hip with director forbes in your efforts as we move forward quickly on some of the efforts

connect sf i'm excited about it really is laying you out a long-term visions for transportation when you been the lead time it takes to actually design fund and build a major transportation project it is not inappropriate to think 50 years in advance when you think about the fact that federal fund is as tenuous and the fact that someone else agree second bay crossing that is being discussed regional can easily take 20 to thirty years to clear and fund so we really need to think in terms of decades that's what we're trying to do it is led by the department with mta and the ta and oewd and it really kickoff the overall umbrella that will put the city in position for regional transportation on the table with our regional partners i'm

excited about that one of the public workshops this summer we've devolve into in more detail the southern bay waterfront on port property it is extraordinarily number of projects 75 to percent the growth will happen here with the jobs and housing units from mission rock in the north to executive park in the south and obviously a big project the hunters point shipyard and candle stick point moving forward with the major phased first of development in candle stick point and we're working with them on accommodating more job spaces in the shipyard part of that project but makes this will have a huge public benefit in the long run not the least is public and waterfront assess with the greenway and all the other

benefits with respect to sea level rise ii have to shout out to byron who is co-chairing with our staff with the sea level rise task force a fantastic collaboration ahead of every city in this aspect in terms of work and a diagram how we see this progress playing out this is kind of the continuous loop with the accessibility of risk we're in the process working with every major depth to do an assessment of their facilities and leading to an adoption plan and monitoring but makes importantly this is a loop; right? an opportunity loop trying to learn from building and upgrading science and so on this is a very important piece of work and you may have heard we're fortunate to receive a

grant from the rockefeller foundation modeled after new york city and hurricane sandy we're excited about are rockefeller has almost fully fund that we're pleased and excited a regional effort each county will have a site they select to be part of that process so a very important regional effort so that's just a very brief overview he know there is a lot we can tube and details i thought i'll 0 give you a quick snapshot and a shout out to the port staff for working collaboratively with us on those projects. >> thank you, john any any public comment on 12 b seen none, public comment is closed. commissioner katz.

>> thank you, thank you very much i feel i learn something new and appreciate the collaboration that ask now concurring between the two departments and also appreciate the fact we're ahead of most other cities wrr79 to the sea level rise and the climatic change it is amazing when you believe in science. >> i agree. >> (laughter). one just and it is a lot of information to digest is there my anticipation so the 20, 40 projection we've hit 40 percent of the judge jobs and thirty percent in increased resident do we - are those numbers going to get readjusted >> the short answer is yes, we're doing that right now the

abag their updating it and in about a year although not quite sure but makes not projection beyond 2020 so there will be likely some slow down but makes it is true to say the last 8 years has preceded the projection and we're not prepared for that phase of growth. >> we see that everywhere around the city and one specific question you referenced no changes and sort of the peak of driving which i recognize but makes at the same time, we're also seeing a number of tmc cars

coming into the city how did he account. >> we're trying to think smart, heer been the tmc issues and we advertised - unclear the exact impact we've received data new york city conducted looking at the impact of i'm going home to my city by the bay tmcs and they're having impacts we're trying to get smarter we don't have good data partly because the companies don't want to give us the information and been given thought to locations rather than the cashes xhavbl circle. >> that is part of our thinking in terms of especially

in places we think about market street and other major downtown streets where we can say yes or no like the other programs we specified the locations. >> i'm thinking with all the development along the waterfront take that into the planning process soorm. >> but makes again, thank you very much for coming and updating us. >> commissioner vice president brandon. >> thank you so much for this report it is very informative and mind-boggling how are we continuing to deal with the growth as such a rapid pace seeing the actual number is mind-boggling i'm happy to see the sea level rise is at the be forefront of all the planning effort and i really appreciate the pg&e collaboration between the two departments lead by director forbes with you but

makes this is wonderful and it is great to see and it is just amazing the amount well maybe that all the projects we have going have to go through planning i have one question regarding connect sf and that is we're planning for growth are we are doing my planning for existing resources. >> very appropriate question we get it a lot are we doing this for new folks or everyone who is really both it has to be so you know it's looking at a kind of a long term vision how to improve the transit systems not only the existing transit systems and improve what we have today a big priority for mta frshths but makes also to make sure that all the projects that i talked about for example, the southeast waterfront can be more transit friendly; right? that

really has to be both and i - i mean it is an important question because frankly we're criticized for thinking in terms of only accommodating new resident and new jobs we have to do both and a big part of our thinking. >> thank you commissioner kounalakis. >> thank you so much for coming down it is nice to meet you i'm the newest member this is the first overview and i have so many questions i'll bubbling over but makes limit them to one or two that an impact the port rather than what i'm curious about as a san franciscan my first one is how the city as you're planning for the growth and accommodating this growth how you deal with tracking because i'm from a small town inland if you have a new project

have to have mitigation for impacts to traffic that your project - and it seems like the way that things are happening here there is certainly isn't a mitigation of street widening you know there is no way to do any of that so what does that look like when new projects come on board in terms of what kind of mitigation is required for impacts to traffic. >> that is my first question. >> okay. >> no please and i will say commissioner i'm happy to talk with you offline i know this generates a lot of comments and questions i appreciate that i mean your spot on saying unlike community that are less built will widening streets is not an option and for 40 years has a

transit first policy our transportation dollars will be spent the last priority on vehicular assess the highest priority and other modes of transportation when we deal with development and transportation impacts everyone from impact on transit service and for example, the warriors area they'll be purchasing light rail to serve the corridor we look at we can do things like changing the traffic lights but makes the primary goal to see what we can do to reduce the electrical vehicles or bmt the sarah dennis phil's mentioned the tmc transportation demand management a groundbreaking ordinance we passed pie the board after two years of work we worked on with mta and the ta that gives did

developers a memo of options to reduce their traffic footprint the electrical vehicles and vehicles miles traveled from reducing the amount of parking by the way, providing less parking is the single most important factor but makes it is everything from providing less parking to buying transit pays for employees and two to providing realtime information about transit service a memo of 25 items and the developers have to choose if the memo and have a point total to reduce the bmt. >> so all the parking lots going away and projects built without parking this is then basically creating a distance for people to drive. >> both a distance and reflecting the reality it car

ownership are dropping in about buildings for example, one the larger downtown developers said 1/3rd of tenants are cars we're now seeing projects 5 years ago developers we're saying we can't get financing without a one to one parking and now projects are not proposing projecting parking underground is 60 or $70,000 a space they don't need it. >> as your project by project forward improvements to public transportation that ultimately that is going to be there so that there will be a way for people to get around. >> certainly you can certainly offer a meeting time limit director reiskin. >> the short answer the challenge is just the cost of the improving the systems are

enormous in addition to reducing the vehicles miles traveled developers pay what is called a transportation fee sustainability fee on a per square feet and upped that fee but makes again i mean it is certainly helping mta but makes not going to raise $2 billion for a subway line there is a magnitude of - so mtas i mean the magnitude is on the order of 8 or $9 billion if you recall a half a billion dollars passed in 2014 and another one coming up next year those are important but makes the magnitude of the needs that mta has is enormous so is a city issue and transportation is not the kind of thing to draw a line in and say that's the end of the

picture. >> can i ask we've been talking about hybrids on the waterfront i'm curious as it looks as though the voters with interested in keeping the profile at a lower level unless they have a say my understanding there are more the skyline is changing and the waterfront says it is the height of buildings within certain corridors will be higher than the new salesforce building will that be the tall it building and other buildings of that scale that are coming down the pike and where if so. >> so the short answer the buildings of that scale are reilly concentrated around the

transbay term that was adopted i the commission in 2012 and created enabled the salesforce tower and other like to call them super tall buildings where they should be around the transit center that was the idea you the other area are much less drastically but makes some taller buildings call the central soma program that is the plan that had been adopted and reflect the subway corridor and a plan that goes from second to 6 to two blocks either side of ford from townsend to market that will create higher project sites particularly the north side of that corridor near market and the south side towards side caltrans central

station not a district of theses but makes 5 or 6 or 7 sites from 2 to three to four hundred feet so accommodate particularly to accommodate new office growth because the city's capacity for office and job growth is limited with the build out of downtown and the transit center and office use is only allowed in 10 percent of city very few places to accommodate new office use so this is one of the areas we want to do that. >> thank you no, no that's great, thank you. >> john welcome to the house really glad to have i watch you guys on sfgovtv. >> commissioners. >> dude your commissioners man like a football team the public wears you guys out it is rough

that commission (laughter) but makes john thank you for being able to find a balance between the developers and the community and i know that is hard for you sometimes and san francisco for so along was a working-class say and generations can't afford to live here you're trying to find the balance and not like you're the enemy but makes people saying you're out priced out of city you might want to comment on that and how are you trying to find out where to keep people that lived here when we say affordable housing i know you're working with the mayor's office and recently, i saw supervisor president london breed on there and supervisor peskin and several the supervisors came and suppressed to the planning commission their concern about the city getting so out of whack

and on the scale of balance. >> speak to that you. >> it is the biggest challenge we face so 0 this is part of the creating and city for everyone and the way - we have a lot discussion in the planning department and i'm sure members of the public will go appreciate that my fear is that it is that the current growth rate and wealth creation in the city is kind of threatening the city's soul i take that very seriously and frankly like not on my watch; right? so what do we do the affordable housing question is the most important part but makes not the only important part frshlths we have developed three years ago put together in the department a community development team 4 people on the team those are positions they

didn't have and their position not to look at the zoning or where the city will grow or to develop the projects but makes work drurlg with the community and organizations on the existing neighborhoods particularly the more and more vulnerable neighborhood we've been focusing on the mission district that is ground zero on the bayview and folsom we've been working for lack of a better word the community stabilization this is a challenge that very few cities have taken on can we allow the initialed neighborhood to grow but makes stabilize the population can we do both have our cake and eat it good frankly some people think i'm smoking something we've not taken this on this in this directive manner

i'm proud of something called the mission action 2020 this long term strategy how we can try to stabilizing businesses and stabilizing sros sro is a multi faceted strategy has to do with with land use a lot has to do with with the businesses and a range of activity to stable lids that neighborhood that was done in direct partnering with the neighborhood and it is you know i'm proud i was personally involved in the meetings for two years with the neighborhood organizations to create this strategy i think that is extraordinary important and groundbreaking it is somewhat experimental every major city on the coast are struggling new york a seattle and washington their challenged by the

inflection of people with a lot of money in the city how that is a disrupting factor to the population we are trying to figure out a way to allow the growth and stabilize what we have it is a challenge we need to take on. >> second the forest city with the most incremental in the world language number one, and moscow number two, and new york 3 and san francisco number 3, 4. >> you think that is pretty much the bay area not just san francisco but makes i understand that yeah. >> and last president trump will his budget effect any violation you see for the city and where you want to go and the commissioners and mayor have any effective on the journey you're on. >> the answer probably but

makes doesn't know we haven't gotten the details the one project you've heard about they detailed and perhaps killed funding for the electrification of caltrain that is in the works for a better part of a decade and locally figured out how to fund billion dollars and asking the feds for 200 and $60 million and at the last minute they pulled the plug they've detailed it governor jerry brown went to mayor willie brown to plug for the funding the peninsula corridor is seeing tremendous growth and caltrain a one at capacity and the electrician indication will increase the capacity by thirty percent by electrifying that system that is important that happen but makes that's the one tangible example i can give you the other simply

we don't know but makes reduction in funding. >> colleagues. >> john thank you so much. >> thank you, commissioners and happy to have further conversations. >> item 13 new business. >> i have a couple of impedes e items i've written down to make sure there are accounted for in items we're planning for the future from commissioner vice president brandon about how are we paying inform crane cove park and are we sure to bring that forward with forest city and another from commissioner katz around philanthropic giving them for crane cove park we need to do more to understand the opportunity for a formalized programming we can pursue or rain water for the crane cove park for all open space and finally from commissioner vice president brandon around the jobs program and the pier 70 and

>> 7 and a half million renovation is part of the clean and safe neighbor's park fund which was on the ballot four years ago and look at how that public investment has transformed our neighborhood. >> the playground is unique in that it serves a number of age groups, unlike many of the other properties, it serves small children with the children's play grounds and clubhouses that has basketball courts, it has an outdoor soccer field and so there were a lot of people that came to the table that had their wish list and we did our best to make sure that we kind of divided up spaces and made sure that we kept the old features of the playground but we were

able to enhance all of those features. >> the playground and the soccer field and the tennis fields and it is such a key part of this neighborhood. >> we want kids to be here. we want families to be here and we want people to have athletic opportunities. >> we are given a real responsibility to insure that the public's money is used appropriately and that something really special comes of these projects. we generally have about an opportunity every 50 years to

redo these spaces. and it is really, really rewarding to see children and families benefit, you know, from the change of culture, at each one of these properties >> and as a result of, what you see behind us, more kids are playing on our soccer fields than ever before. we have more girls playing sports than we have ever had before. [ applause ] fp >> and we are sending a strong message that san francisco families are welcome and we want you to stay. >> this park is open.

lowell u allowing people to keep their pets and bring their personal bloonlz. >> the full realization that people don't want to be homeless not refuse services but from the services don't meet them and not relevant they're not going to be successful if you look at the budget losses we've got a community sacrifice important people to get food and laundry we're standing next to the bathrooms it is designed to be a dynamic and brief residential experience where right of on this site city staff to connect you to homeless places to return to family dine is up for medi-cal and all those things that are complicated for people. >> the other exciting thing city agencies come on site and provided the services for folks this is existed to see when the

goal of streamlining a a whole processes of getting people on go gentle assistance into housing as much as possible. >> way totally different you can come and agree as please and get laundry services and showers any time of the day and night it's twenty-four hours a day whatever and twhefr it's not like any other she recalls. >> they come and help people for what it is they're required the issues they need and reach out and do what we can to say okay how can we accommodate you to get you set up and straight never in my mind imagined a program like this this place it different and a a lot a lot that better it works. >> the navigation is center is

a collaboration of partnerships too city departments one is the homeless outreach team managed by the san francisco distributing i look forward to the navigation center we'll have our agents go out and help and say don't go anymore over and over send our dayshift out they've meet the population and hang out and hang in the encampment and transport people and be with them and make immediate impacts with me and my staff. >> bringing our wloongz whatever you go presents a problem this place their help with the storage i don't have to worry about it staying here you know you're getting things done they need to get things down

they've seen we're trying to do is help their neighbors they've seen getting sicker and more frail and broken down on the streets and welcomed us that's a powerful statement people are exist and president in they're becoming to see the movement for folks and people on the streets are only survival modes where is there next meal and their itch more carefree. >> the staff here is interpretation the first day i have a appointment and everything was made all you do is go through them this makes a huge difference. >> to get settled in a helping hand, to get on my feet, take

care of the issues i have and get out of bed and help. >> even though the navigation center has been up in march 2014 the program is creating successful outreach for it's clients. >> a month ago they came to me and asked me to go into a new program i moved into here and now 3 months later i have my own place it is mine i lock my door don't worry about my stuff it feels human again
