parallel to the municipal code's treatment of yerba buena gardens, a handful of rules would be more tailored. for example, certain activities are prohibited in the park. certain sports will be prohibited. these activities also create an hazard to people on the ground if an item accidently goes over the fence to streets and people below. the gray water system can't properly process the waist of pets. the same prediction is enforced at yerba buena gardens. please note that ocii plans for under ramp park, a 2.5 acre under ramp park that is a pet friendly alternative.
5:01 am
amending the san francisco health code will prohibit smoking in the rooftop park. smoking is already prohibited in any unenclosed area of any property in the city and county of san francisco open to the public and under the jurisdiction of rec and park or any other city department. if the property is a park or other property used for recreational purposes. in this case, the city department will include tjpa with respect to rooftop park. also parallel with the approach applied at yerba buena gardens, the tjpa would retain ownership, jurisdiction and control of the park, so tjpa has established park hours. winter hours are 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., and summer hours are 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
5:02 am
tjpa would designate persons to perform functions for the rooftop park which are otherwise performed by the general manager of san francisco recreation and park department for any other park in the city. we anticipate that the best way to maintain an inviting and safe atmosphere in the park and to ensure compliance with rules and regulations is through a layered security program that includes jishs u includes use of ambassadors and security. they'll have the power to cite and arrest and refer people to appropriate social services. ambassadors will act in a combined safety and hospitality role, providing a friendly and helpful resource to the public, giving directions and informing park users of rules and regulations, difusing potential
5:03 am
conflicts, and connecting those in need with appropriate social services. tjpa will also inform the public of the rooftop park rules by placing signage at each entrance to the park. in closing, tjpa staff requests that the public safety and neighborhood services committee recommend to the san francisco board of supervisors amend the park code to treat the rooftop park as a city park for certain purposes, amend the health code to prohibit smoking on the rooftop park, and to affirm the planning department's determination under ceqa.

5:38 am
we've also had the helpful support of many, many people from the community. we all know that the late mayor lee would have enjoyed being here today. he was the biggest supporter of the city. he was an advocate for the project. and i believe there bear, he may have been one of the giants number one fans, so we reflect on mayor lee and his legacy and he would have been proud. this ace project that will help build a water front for everyone and deliver benefits to our residents for years to come. the residents of san francisco and the state will enjoy eight new acres of open space. the rehabilitation of pier 48. thousands of new affordable homes, 40% of which are affordable along our waterfront and much more. the project has created these benefits while recognizing the future challenge of sea level
5:39 am
rise. it's adaptable to the rise and for us, it provides an ongoing source of revenue to adapt other areas for the waterfront and the shoreline tax. this was done the san francisco way as a team effort. and we are not surprised about how many port tenants and three-time world champions san francisco giants led our team. thank you to the giants, to larry bear, to jack bear, to fran weld, to john and so many others from the hometown team for leading a gold standard community project. the giants are in the long game in this community and it showed. it promises a diverse community and in planning we heard from many voices on how the future of the waterfront should be prepared. that included the central waterfront advisory group. the mission bay advisory group. the south beach neighborhood
5:40 am
association, they participated in every step of the plan. i see many of our resident stakeholders here today, including ms. katy la del, alice rogers, bruce and so many others that participated. sonny schwartz is here today. there were many city agencies that collaborated. i need to say thank you first and story most to oawd, to ken rich, todd and adam. and we also will remember today jennifer, she had big vision for the waterfront and enthusiasm for the site. today, we recognize her work effort and can-do attitude. the mayor's office played an integral role in the project to support the benefits of housing, the housing program, the transportation program, and on
5:41 am
ward. i really think that this project is emblematic of what with can achieved through a public-private partnership. when we have supervisor jane kim. you were very dedicated to this project throughout and you challenged our team to deliver more affordable housing and we have done so. with a decade in the making, this project had the support of the mayor and now mayor newsom, the late mayor lee, acting mayor breed who helped us finalize, and now mayor farrell. mayor farrell has supported this project for two terms while on the board of supervisors. we're celebrating many years of hard work and welcome our mayor, mayor farrell. [applause] >> thank you, elaine. and congratulations to you.
5:42 am
so, i'm excited to be here to celebrate the signing of this legislation. let's be clear, we all want to talk about the world series coming up here to san francisco. i know, it isn't here, but i'm here to say congratulations. first of all, elaine, congratulations to you and the port team for all your hard work and to larry, you and your team for all of the hard work. this is emblematic of the best of a collective planning process we have here in the san francisco. this is a city agency willing to be creative with a ton of support and a willing and engaged local partner in the giants. to really come here to celebrate this today. but it's because of the port and the giants and their hard work that we are really here today celebrating what is going to be an amazing project. as you think about the project itself, 21 acres is going to be redone. 1500 new housing units, 40% that are affordable. congratulations to supervisor
5:43 am
kim on her hard work on making that happen. [applause] eight acres of new open space. we're going to have teachers and nurses and firefighters and police officers living there, transition age youth is going to be living there. this is a big deal for the city of san francisco and a huge part of what mayor lee was pushing for in the housing units, that he has been pushing for as mayor. and transportation improvements. you think about the t third line, the $40 million, the new mission bay ferry terminal, which is an amazing resource for the neighborhood and million dollars for workforce development to make sure the children we have growing up in the neighborhoods, they can work in the neighborhoods and they're ready with the job skills they need moving forward. i'm here just to say congratulations to everybody. a number of people to additionally thank. mentioned the giants and the port. i want to thank the entire board of supervisors and president breed for all their work.

david chiu for his hard work in legislation that he pushed forward that allowed it to happen. other city departments, todd, where are you? to john ram and planning, ed riskin and the mta. that was a collective effort from the city family. as elaine mentioned, huge thanks to lieutenant-governor, alan and especially thank in closing to our late mayor ed lee who worked very, very hard on this for his entire time in office. and i just think he would be proud of being here today. congratulations, everyone. [applause] >> thank you, elaine, and thank you, mayor farrell. i'm larry bear from the giants and i have to say this is truly
5:45 am
an exciting day for the organization. it has been mentioned, it was a decade in the making. i think maybe a little north, 1, 12 years, i was just sitting here thinking nobody on the giants roster right now was actually on the roster when we started this project. i believe bruce was a rookie manager at the time for the giants. but really valuable, important projects are worth taking the time and being very carefully done. i have to -- there is a number of people we want to thank because they led with their hearts in making this project happen. they understood the vision, saw the vision and led with their hearts. it's a profound statement when a mixed project can garner 74% of the voters' support in this community, which was the case in the election two years ago.
5:46 am
and unanimous support from every commission and every board. many of you we will talk about were part of that, of garnering that support and leading. without the folks we're going to mention today, this would not have happened, it would not have been possible, come together. what we're really most proud of is the creation taking a surface parking lot, what we used to characterize as a wind swept surface parking lot and creating a new dynamic neighborhood from the parking lot which will serve as a central gathering place, a hub for the surrounding community, for the mission bay community. it grew on the expertise of thousands of created people, dedicated people in this planning process, including our neighbors. which we'll talk about. so leading off the thanks, i
5:47 am
would like to thank the project team who worked hard, diligently, long, long hours, lending their expertise in urban planning, engineering, architecture, finance, legal work to create this topnotch project that meets the values of our community. mention the neighbors and the community based organizations, many are here in the audience today. they've been a voice for the project from the beginning. now the city departments. the city departments have been quite amazing led by the port of san francisco, the mayor's office, economic and workforce development, the city attorney office, the planning department, dpw, mta, all unbelievably collaborative in their work with us through this long process. i want to specifically
5:48 am
acknowledge port direct elaine forbes for her amazing work. commission president kim brandon. where is kim? so kim brandon -- [applause] -- kim brandon unlike any of the giants players or bruce, did precede this project. i did a fact check, because i don't want fake news, 20 years on the san francisco port commission, looking at the progress and what happened to the port through her two decades of service. thank you, kim. and and finally the city leadership. a heart felt thank you to jane kim who authored the legislation and has taken a personal interest in this project from day one. huge thanks to board president london breed for her long time
5:49 am
support of mission rock and keeping us on track during crucial moments. thank you to david chiu for spear heading the state legislation that allowed us to do the project. and finally, i want to acknowledge our friend, our late mayor ed lee. very bittersweet here without him. one of the project's biggest supporters, with us from day one. we are eternally grateful for his leadership and support and we miss him every day. thank you, mayor farrell for making this historic moment for mission rock come true. we're thrilled to move closer to the ground breaking and realizing the vision of all of us here for this project, a decade in the making and now the fun beginsment thank you so much. [applause]
5:50 am
>> hello, everybody, my name is london breed, i'm president of the san francisco board of supervisors and i am so excited to be here today. as a former san francisco redevelopment agency commissioner, i know how long these projects, these major infill projects can take. i mean, but looking at mission bay and what we're doing with the shipyard and watching as this entire neighborhood change and provide more businesses, more housing, more parks, this is really a crown jewel for this particular area. i want to thank the giants for investing in this project, for working with the city, for working with the port. elaine, you're an amazing leader and i've got to thank kimberley brandon and the members of the port commission who spent countless hours listening to public comment, arguing over the details, getting the criticism and look at what we have here
5:51 am
today. an amazing project that is doing something we need to do all over the city and county of san francisco. provide 40% affordable housing for low, moderate income families in san francisco. how exciting is that? people who make up to 150% ami. when we think about it, that's a lot of money and it's not a lot of money here in san francisco. those families still can't afford market rate housing in san francisco. it includes some of the city employees. some of the ballpark workers. i want to see the ballpark workers walking across from their housing in that parking lot into the ballpark. is that a promise? yes. the members of local 2 and the folks who make san francisco such a great place. this is a wonderful day, i'm excited and grateful to my colleagues on the board of supervisors, including mayor farrell and i see supervisor yee and supervisor kim who will be
5:52 am
speaking and supervisor jeff sheehy. we all care about making san francisco a wonderful place for each and every one of us, providing more housing, providing spaces like this on the waterfront that are going to be beautiful and accessible to so many with parks and everything else, it's going to be amazing for city and county of san francisco. i know sonny schwartz has been a part of the project from day one, here we are, ten years later, let's make sure that the future projects don't take this long. thank you all so much. [applause] >> good afternoon, it is really incredibly exciting to be here today after the years as larry and mayor mark farrell have
5:53 am
mentioned that have gone into making the project a reality. the portion of the project that i'm the proudest of, this is the first project in san francisco that has committed to a record percentage of 40% affordable and middle income housing. [applause] and i really want to thank the giants for stepping up and being a leader for san francisco. this is our home team. and they've demonstrated their commitment to san franciscans by saying we're going make sure san franciscans get to live by our ballpark and root for us as we make it to the championship. i want to say that a lot of work went into the process. i should ask someone this, this is really one of the first projects that didn't use redevelopment, that built such a large percentage of units. households that make between $80-150,000 a year. i want to recognize the teachers union, the council community
5:54 am
housings or organization, that helped us literally, number by number, over hours in the course of the night, craft a compromise that would pencil out. and i want to recognize the port and the city for sharing the value that would generate the land that would allow more housing. this is a partnership between the city and the giants. i want to take a moment to thank our community residents who are also here. who have worked on the sidelines of this. to ensure this is a neighborhood that they want to be a part of. i see corrin woods, the chair of mission woods advisory committee. sonny schwartz. alice rogers. part of the south beach rincon.
5:55 am
bruce, also a member of the organization. and katy who is not here, chairs the organization as well. i talked a lot about the affordable housing, but this is a mixed use development project that is going to provide retail and small businesses, amenity, open space. the type of neighborhood that is inkredably excite -- incredibly exciting, providing amenities we need for the mission bay neighborhood. finally, i want to thank the city for all of your work. and the hard work begins now. we have to make sure we get the infrastructure in the ground so the thousands of units of the housing can get built. thank you, everyone, for making this a home run for san francisco. >> thank you to everyone. i understand now we have the honor of signing the
