we've got approximately 240 acres of parks and open spaces. affordable housing. as you all know, we have a commitment to do 32% affordable housing. this -- this figure here depicts where we're providing both alice griffith and ocii units that capture an income levels that are approximately 60% of the area median income. we also have workforce units identified, and you should also know that within the market rate housing development, we also have provisions for inclusionary housing units that average a little over 10% of the housing units are inclusionary units. one of the projects that we

heard a lot about from the community is a new senior housing project that we are proposing. we feel very good about this. this is a project that took 105 inclusionary units and wrapped them into a project that's now going to be available for those that have 60% or less of the area median income, and it's exclusively for seniors. that is what we think is important. we think we need more projects like this in the area. the area that's providing the senior housing is wrapped by retail development and market rate housing, so it is currently proposed in an area

called oh, for lack of a better word, perhaps the infield. it's the infield of the candlestick point -- infield of the candlestick point retail center and development. and we purposely wanted it cited there because this allows access to retail services and other access to transit. it's right there. it also includes market rate housing so there's no isolation but rather a nice integration of development, of housing development. on this, in this development in particular, we are going to be able to provide a roof deck in addition to open spaces on the podium so we're really thrilled about the fact that we have this, that we're responding to

the community, and that it's going to meet a need that's particularly important. just to give you kind of a recap of construction of below market rate housing, i won't go over this table in detail, but i do have this. if you'd like to look at it yourself, you can see how much of the alice griffith replacement units have been constructed. i mentioned again the senior housing and of course the workforce and inclusionary housing, more of which will be coming. shipyard, so in 2010, this is gsh gsh i know this is a -- i know this is kind of an interesting slide because it shows in 2010, we had a contract with the city that

would include approximately 3 million square feet of r and d, but we also had cleared, through ceqa, and received approval for a total of 5 million square feet of r and d. what we've chosen to do now is to pursue the 5 million square feet but with some reductions to allow for a greater mix of uses. i mentioned before how important the site's heritage is, and i'm wanting you to know that there are a number of buildings that are on the national register for historic places that of course will be retained, and i invite you all to come out and take a look at some of these buildings. some of these buildings date from the 1900's, pump houses with water flowing in and out of the dry docks, and we have world war ii vintage buildings, too, that we are studying for possible retention. of course building 101 is going

to remain, and so the overall focus of this project has been let's look back on that history, take what's best from that and advance it to a new future. this is just one example of how that could be materialized. building 411 is one of these examples of grease massive volume buildings, and it provides then an opportunity for creating a new type of work space. and these are hugely popular. they've been seen in other places in the country, and people like it. they like the authenticity of these original buildings, and yet with modern convenience. the project is going to include retail spaces as i noted earlier, and what i call major spaces which is really a way of creating a space that's been

kind of pushed out of san francisco. so the maker's space is going to be for artisans, as you can imagine someone doing woodworking or ceramics or any kind of incubator type business that wants to be a part of this maker space, we are reserving 75,000 square feet just for these types of uses. and i won't belabor, we've already noted the institutional community and artists. one of the documents that we're going to be updating is the d for d, and the design for development document, it effectively establishes both the extent and the design standards for which to develop, to realize this vision. so we have a vision for our different kind of building in

san francisco, and we've been working closely with ocii design staff, as well as city planning department design staff to now create standards that relate to this vision for the shipyard. you'll note as one component of that vision, the focus on maximum building height, we have made some adjustments to height to ensure that views are protected from important public spaces. so views, for example, from the hilltop open space witare protects, as well as views along the entirety of the waterfront. the next part of our project is a concept plan for parks and open space.

one of my colleagues has worked ex-tense civilly on parks and open space, and he'll talk to you for a moment about that. >> good afternoon, commissioners. i do want to talk for a moment about the update to the parks and open space concept plan. the plan from 2010 to 2018 has increased. we have about 18 additional acres of publicly accessible parks and open space, and i'll run through a few of the highlights? the changes are considering at the shipyard side of the project. i'll skbrust run through those. changes we've made including incorporating additional dog runs and children's play areas, placing a new emphasis on the historically registered dry dock four and creating a public plaza around that. through the shifting of the grid that allows us to retaining herd aj buildings, we're also able to consolidate

three small parks into one larger park that we're calling the green room. it'll be privately owned but fully publicly accessible, and we've incorporated centralized stormwater gardens to treat stormwater run off. what we're calling the water room is an enhanced plaza around the end of dry dock four which is right in the middle of the new development, and we wanted to create more of a public presence and a public place in this important meeting point of the parts of the development. what's proposed here, in addition to what was already there, is amphitheater seating around the dry dock, one, potentially two pedestrian bridges over the dry dock, so it doesn't serve to separate the two sides of the development. large public plaza with shade trees, cafe, and sculptural art component. this is just a rendering of

sort of an aerial looking out at the development, and you can note, even at this scale, looking out at the bay, you see dry dock four, the central component that we wanted to celebrate. this is another rendering closer to the ground, where you can see the amphitheater seating and landscaping curbing around, and then, some of the that mixed use development integrating with the park plaza here. as i mentioned, another area that we've looked at is the green room. so in consolidating the three smaller parks, we've ended up with a larger central green that we think will have a lot of activity, a lot of interest, and will really be a center piece to the neighborhood. it's envisioned as a lush, green, outdoor room. a lot of rolling lawns, active

sports programming, including basketball courts, bacci courts, children's play areas. also more passive and interpretive uses, such as interpretive component recalling the historic shoreline that occurs here, and additional gardens and paflivin seating areas. one other item we looked at when we changes the grid on the south side of the project, we've reconsolidated the community sports fields. there is no change to the programming except in response to community comment, trying to make sure there's still flexibility in some of the programming, so we've changed one sport court into a flex space, acknowledging that as the design goes forward, we'll be soliciting input on getting just the right mix of sports courts, but as this diagram shows, there are a number of

types of courts in the fields located throughout the development, not just this central sports court. additionally, i wanted to highlight the outdoor international african marketplace set to be located in north side park. this is in addition to the indoor international african marketplace planned for development at candlestick. i wanted to mention project phasing briefly. our project has six phases, and these phases, and the ordering of them is tied to the expected transfer of land from the navy so that we're able to take land as it's available and develop it. phase one beginning construction in 2018 with the artist as we mentioned and then moving throughout the rest of the development as land becomes available, targeting out through 2030 for infrastructure

construction. now i'd like to introduce chris mitchell from faron pierce to talk more about transportation. >> thanks, martin. i'm a consultant working with five point, and we worked very closely with sf mta to talk about the transportation that we've developed here today. i know you've seen this plan many times before, so i won't spend a lot of time, but i'll give you a brief refresher of what the plan entails. first of all, the plan continues to provide a transit center at this hunters point shipyard, so that's a total of three transit lines from the north, in the north side of the shipyard, and two additional transit lines coming from the south for a combination much five lines all come together at one block. that's a point where everybody can transfer.

you can get from one point to another anywhere in the city with just one transfer, and it ensures people can get back and forth between sites. it'll also include some amenities for drivers as they take their beats, and the five point's also providing space for some of the electric infrastructure that might be needs as the fleet turns over to electric vehicles. we anticipate a new bus transit line all the way from the shipyard transit center all the way to balboa park b.a.r.t. station, and new express bus service between hunters point shipyard to downtown san francisco making limited stops in this part of town and then going directly downtown, giving you a very quick, efficient ride. one of the new features of the plan is water taxis. we're still working on all of the infrastructure and all of the agreements that would be required to make that happen, but that's something that we're actively looking at to provide

yet another option. and then, finally, one element that remains a key part of the project is the transportation and manned management plan. that is a series of programs, including bicycle parking, amenities for bicycle -- things like showers and lockers, everything from that all the way to transit passes for residents -- residents living in this, to provide transit passes to provide revenue stream for mta. this wi there will be a full-time coordinate i don't remember to staff this program, both to market the services to ensure that they're working properly and also to coordinate with sf mat, if there's something that needs to be tweaked, they can work with mta to get thattic at thatten care of. it's not enough that the project just has a really robust transit system and whole

build out of the project. we need to make sure that we strike a balance between making sure that there's enough tlan s -- transit serve so that when people move into the neighborhood, they feel they can get anywhere. we've morked with mta very closely to identify the right levels of transit service that correspond to each phase of development. it's a little hard to see on these screens, but what we've done here is we've ensured all the transit lines that extend into the transit center itself, in the interim phase, all of the transit lines will continue to overlap so that there's still that opportunity for connection between all of the transit routes. so this is the phase one program, you can almost see it here. i'm sure your screen is a little larger, but the hunters point express -- hunters point

shipyard express point will come into the southern part of the site to ensure that connectivity. basically, we've just rhea lined some of the routes to match where the roads are being constructed, so it'll still continue to provide that over y&p, and then, a final phase build out, which includes the construction of the transit center. another feature of the site that you've probably seen before is that it includes a robust bicycle network to ensure that bicycling is another high priority mode of transportation within the site. previously, i'm not sure if this mouse will actually work here -- it does. previously, you've seen that we included a two day dedicated cycle track, so they can ride both directions, and it's off of the street. the original plan was to priech it along wrich road here. you can see this is the actual green line down here, and we've relocated it. one of the things is the

ability to bring that route outline the way through and cut across through the green room, across the dry dock, directly to the heart of the project site rather than skirt around the edges, and that would continue north along robinson and donahue streets. this just gives you a little bit of context where that would basically connect to. it will be connecting from the candlestick point site all the way across to the bridge to the shipyard, and then, the blue-greenway is the proposal to construct a bicycle facility all the way along the eastern waterfront, to embarcadero, and you can continue all along the entire san francisco waterfront. this is a major connection piece for that. with that, i'll turn it back over to therese breckie.

>> and i want to wrap it up with one of the key aspects of the project. one of these is the sustainable development, the eco drift. so we are proposing solar panels on every building in the hunters point shipyard. we are looking at recycled water, that treatment, doing recycled water treatment for the site is going to save over 400,000 gallons perday of domestic water. and we're also looking at something very innovative, the idea of geothermal heating and coaling. it's a system of bore holes that are drilled into the earth. water is circulated through those holes in enclosed tubes, and as they come up, natural heating has helped to facilitate the heating and coaling that was then spread out across the site.

so it's very exciting and it's very innovative, and our team in land development has worked closely with puc on this. community benefits, i've already noted some of the community benefits, but just to give you a quick recap on some of the things we are doing and will of course continue to do is we are doing making contributions to scholarship and education funds totaling over $1 million to date. we have provides moneys to the southeast health center as well as moneys for wellness, totaling over 350,000, and we have been contributing towards job training in an amount that exceeds $2 million. so we -- we're very proud of this rather robust community benefits program.

it's an $82 million program that is now becoming a model for others. building a-13 is just one element of the project. i had mentioned earlier 813 is under ownership by ocii. we have then worked together with ocii to determine how the best use of that space, and part of that space had been contemplated for some incubator kinds of spaces. and what we are looking at now is to try and spread that incubator space and other maker spaces throughout the project site and mix it in and integrate it in with other developments so that certain synergies can be created and relationships created just through working side by side with your neighbor.

let me conclude around discussion of the economics. i had mentioned economics just earlier today. i mean, i told you that when you do a comparison to the project as defined in 2010 and the project we are presenting to you now, there are approximately 50% more jobs, permanent jobs, approximately 49% more construction jobs, and and what has really become a big benefit for the city is the fact that we will now have approximately 47 million in net general fund revenues for the city. couple other aspects of just the fiscal and economic impacts of the project. one is there's going to be over

20 million available for affordable housing through the tax increment and the 20% set aside. we will be funding the parks through a community finance district, so that will be an additional burden to the residents, the totality of san francisco, but rather, it will be a responsibility of those who live in the imminent area of the -- of the site: let's talk for a moment, then, about next steps. so as i had mentioned earlier, we need to amend some of the documents that were originally approved in 2010. we have a redevelopment plan that we're going to amend to allow for this new development program that i described to you earlier. we are amending our contract with the city, our disposition and development agreement to embrace this new development program, and then, all the

documents that go along with that, which is the transportation plan, the parks and open space plan, and others, financing, infrastructure, all of those are under amendment right now, will be presented again for approval as we come forward to meet with you in april and ask you to take some action. so there's been a lot of community outreach. we've been presenting since last summer to the cac, and more recently, we presented some elements of this project to the housing sub committees of the cac, as well as the business and economic sub committee, the cac just last week. we will be presenting to the full cac, and we will also be coming back to see you next month because at that time, we will be seeking approval for the amendments i just described to you throughout this presentation, and we'll also be

seeking approvals from other -- other agencies such as the planning commission for both the d four d as well as a determination from them on general plan, consistency findings, and ultimately, this'll be going to the board for its approval in june. >> so there's a lot of work. >> there's a lot of work. there's been a lot of work, and i have to say, there's this whole contingency of folks back here. we have consultants from the ginsler team who have worked with us on d for d. there's counsel here. we have all of our staff here. you know, we have our executive vice presidents, and we have our -- all of our chiefs and community affairs directors,

and there's doctor honeycutt, and frank marcowitz, it takes a village, as they say, and we've been lucky to have such great, thoughtful, intelligent people with whom to work, so i thank you. >> thank you. >> i just want to know how many people are there on this project? >> everybody's here. >> everybody. >> yeah. >> if you could standup if you're a part of the consulting team on this project. >> don't worry. i don't have any camera on. >> oh, great. thank you. thank you. >> thank you, commissioners. before i hand it back to lila to wrap up, just a few things i wanted to highlight. i know this is a lot of information, but a couple things that are of note, and one is with regards to housing and certificate of preference holders in working with five point in discussions about the

housing program. we saw an opportunity -- our housing staff saw an opportunity to approve the likelihood of certificate of preference holders to get parking in areas where there is less than 1:1, because i know that is a concern of yours. as it stands now, the way the project works, when you have less than 1:1 parking, the spots are offered to the bmr households, so the largest, the three bedrooms, etcetera would go first, then two bedrooms, and one bedrooms, etcetera. so we're proposing a change to the dda, to put the certificate of preference holders at that largest size preference level, so that will increase our odds, since we found from our survey that they tend to be in smaller households, but a bigger need for parking. another thing just to highlight, therese went over some of the benefits. on the community space benefits, what we're proposing

is the developer will now go through a process to create a marketing plan for those spaces, bring that to the cac for their condition, with specific outreach and targeting to the bayview-hunters point area. and then, we'll provide a short list of candidates for these spaces for the cac to review and make recommendations on. and so they would go through that process to tenant those spaces, recognizing sometimes that there cannot be a perfect match between tenant and the market before you are able to move forward. they could do to a five year incident leasing period. after that, they would go back to their bayview-hunters point marketing plan. so i just wanted to highlight that for you in all the

community benefits that are being provided to you, and i'll hand it back to lila to wrap up. >> as theres e mentioned, there is a team behind me and they worked to vet every single element that is before you today. we really look forward to hearing your feedback. in addition, we are doing informational presentations to other boards, sfmta, rec park and so forth, because everyone participated, and we also want to get their feedback, as well, because the city is very supportive, because as you know, these items will be going to the board of supervisors, with that, there's a team behind me ready to answer questions. thank you. >> great. thank you. madam secretary, do you have any speakers for this item. >> yes, mr. chair, there are

three speaker cards. members of the public please come to the podium this this -- in this order. >> good afternoon, commissioners. i was listening to what was being said about the jobs, and i think through the course of this plan, it totals over about i'd say about 26,000 jobs. it warms my heart to see the shipyard and the candlestick development which emerging as an economic engine for the construction and permanent jobs for the community. i support the plan. thank you. >> thank you. mr. washington? >> oh, joyce. >> oh, yes. excuse me. >> good afternoon, commissioners. my name is joyce armstrong, and

i'm the president of public housing tenant association citywide and also a member of the hunters point shipyard cac. when i voted yes on prop o, so did the most of the people in san francisco that don't even live in the bayview. everything i've heard is an improvement on the existing plan while bringing the dda into alignment with the redevelopment plan. i really like the bmr housing for seniors. i really like that since i'm one, and i encourage the commissioners to join me in supporting the amendments to the dda. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> ace washington. [ inaudible ] >> it's okay. i'm here -- i've been here most longer than you all. i don't -- what you all get, stipends?

i don't even get that. >> neither do we. >> this has been taking up most of my time. i went to three different commissions, and i still have to stop before i go out. i've always supported healthy. see, i can speak because i know kofi on the board and all of them years ago. avenue he came off of the redevelopment agency. see, ace is always with the origin from the beginning. i don't know how i got involved with all this politics stuff here now that i'm 64, and i'm still ready to go. any way, i was told the status -- i'm impressed with phase two because it sounds good. knock on wood, like i say, it sounds good. i'm going to hold my comments back until i sit down because there's a lot of things you're going to have to point out to me. it's a lot more than five points, because i do a lot of pointing, too, case in point. i'm not going to do that today,

because we've got things to do. we're going to talk later. all these afo's, cao's, i know them all, but i'm still little a-c-e. i'm 64, i've got kids in their 40's and 30's, and i've got grand kids, and i've got great grand kids. a lot of people get up here and speak, and they don't even have kids. they're not going to be around, but that's okay. but here's the thing. when everybody starts they thipg, they better stay in their lane, because ace is on the patrol. i know how it goes. my name is ace, and i'm on this case. >> thank you, mr. washington. next speaker. >> mr. honeycutt, in addition

i can't. >> good afternoon. i'm not going to take a lot of your time today, but i am going to say thank you very much for approving block 2-a, a truly beautiful piece of architecture. and i want you to know that we on the cac are looking at hps two, this project that was just chaired with you, and in fact, we will be having two special meetings in april so we can have even more details prior to deciding the approval process with which you are familiar. i just want to thank you for taking the time to work on moving these projects forward. very important. there's so much at stake. jobs, affordable housing. you heard, you saw all of the amenities in the hps two project.

so much at stake. any delay means that somebody is not going to take advantage -- be able to take advantage of those opportunities, and i know you know that, because i feel i know where your hearts are all. thank you so much for all you do. >> thank you, doctor honeycutt. >> jackie flynn. >> good afternoon, commissioners. my name is jackie flynn. i'm the executive director of the brandoff institute here in san francisco, and i am very happy to see a majority of my community here speaking on behalf of folks that i work with every day, 'cause often times, we don't see our representatives here. and so i'm here -- i want to also applaud and echo all the work that has gone into the job development and career development aspects of the project because obviously that's very much in need in our community. i want to talk about the fact that healthy communities are those that exist in which people, plans and wildlife coexist and thrive. and open spaces and parks are essential in bayview-hunters

point. our community has grown significantly in the last ten years and will continue to grow exponentially, and it's been proven that green spaces with functionality have positive impacts on the overall heath of the community. so beneficial benefits include environmental mitigation when it comes to heat and resill yen see, as well as physical activity, social interaction. i mean, it's important to talk about healing spaces in bayview. so it was very pleasing to hear consideration for youth and their growth over the next couple of decades, and i think that five point has done some exceptional work for beautiful open spaces, so i want to applaud their effort. i think that their amendments are tangible, and i'm in very

much support of those amendments. and i think it's great to have nice things in bayview. i think it's okay to have nice things in bayview, so thank you for your time. >> thank you. [applause]. >> kurt grimes. >> my name is kurt gramz. i am -- grimes. i am also a native and resident of the bayview. i would like to echo the sentiments of jackie flynn and dr. honeycutt. i do believe that the plans we have seen are quite exceptional. i do believe that the bayview deserves to have nice places and go to relax and enjoy. open spaces with key. me personally, i grew up in the ingleside, ingleside terrace to be impact, where that

particular part of the city was planned as a park like setting. i do know that that life has -- that my time there has affected my life in a very positive direction, seeing that i'm also a college graduate, but also, i would like to see that sort of lifestyle on this side of the city, as well. once again, i do believe it is okay to have a nice place in the bayview. i also think the plans we have seen today is exceptional. this group has done a very nice job to make sure that this side of the city is well developed and accessible. on that note, i say thank you very much for your time, and i appreciate yourest ares. >> great. thank you. >> thank you very much. >> are there any other speaker cards. >> no more speaker cards. okay. is there anybody else? any burning questions? seeing none, i will close public comment, and i will turn to my fellow commissioners for any questions or comments. it's a workshop, so we don't have to vote. >> yeah. i have -- i have a couple of questions. the first one is on the senior

housing appropriatesal. i just want to be sure that i understand, it's on 15 of the large handouts, and my understanding that the proposal is in a -- one development to consolidate, what would be 105 inclusionary units that would be in other developments? is that the idea. >> yeah. just sort of pull it up for the audience. >> oh, sorry. >> yeah. so rather than having inclusionary bmr units sprinkled throughout the project, a typical project would have five 5 and 20% of the units as affordable bmr's. in this case, the developer is proposing to advance the bmr's from what would be in later housing developments and kol date them here as a stand-alone

affordable housing project, very similar to how ocii does stand-alone housing projects, serving households at median 60% of income and below. we're working out the deals of that pronl and anticipate that will come to you as a design level in the next few months. but it would be advancing housing, bmr housing that would otherwise come later. we're not increasing the overall number of b 34 r's project, we're just designating them earlier. >> and how can we hide tke the proposal to as close to our success on our c.o.p. goals?

>> well, that's certainly something we can explore. just like we've been doing with the ocii lots, early outreach has been proven to being the key, so there's nothing to preclude us from using all the lessons we've learned on how to maximize c.o.p. success and using them here skbl so do you think that dalia is at a point or would be at a point where that matching feature that was a trink wiwinkle in maria benj eye. >> i don't know that i know the answer to that now, but we would go back and look at that. >> because that would be a win-win, if you look at it. it's just, as with you know, the certificate of preference population is ageing, and there's a -- i think our last survey, we know that there's a

high percentage of c.o.p. holders that are seniors, and many of them are still in san francisco, but many of them are not. and those that have come back home have expressed, you know, that coming back to an environment as we're proposing here that's been very healthy for them, so i think that would be a win. >> that's great. commissioner singh, do you have any questions? comments? >> it's one of the biggest projects that i've ever seen in so many years. actually, the biggest ever. i just want to know when they're going to start this and when they're going to finish this. appreciate it, i would be still around. >> can someone just quickly answer that? >> i'll be happy to answer, particularly because i'm pleased that we've started. and as i'd noted earlier, there's been a lot of insfra structure investments in alice griffith and construction of

housing in alice griffith. you've seen other projects brought forward to you today for your approval, so we're advancing this, absolutely as soon as we can. and of course, as you know, everything is subject to the navy and epa on the shipyard site. >> yeah. great. >> do you know the completion date of this? ten years or 20 years? >> well, the total buildout date is imagined to be at this time out to about 2035. >> oh . okay. thank you. >> great. thank you. >> yep. >> i just want to say great work. continue to move forward on this, and we look forward to more coming our way, so thank you. and thachg the cac members for all their hard work and their involvement for all this. i want to thank the staff for the diligence in making sure that all the things we hold dear to our hearts is coupled with the work of the developer, so thank you. >> and i'm sorry.

can i ask just a question of procedure, that because this is a workshop as we go through the materials again, that we could raise questions to go along, so for the next time -- >> absolutely. >> for the next time. >> thank you very much. madam secretary. >> thank you. >> will you call the next item? >> the next order of business is item six, public comment on nonagenda items. mr. vice chair? >> okay. great. thank you. do we have any speaker cards on this. >> yes, mr. vice chair, we have one speaker card, ice washington. >> thank you, mr. washington. >> by god. i got about ten minutes in here today. it's chopped up, but two, four, six, eight, ten. you all don't got to leave. you might want to hear what i have to say. >> emp's running. >> whenever you all want to close the show, bring on old ace, huh? but any way, i do want to say, i want to commend you all. you all are doing a wonderful job, because when you all came on this ocii, i commended all of you all, because you took over an agency in my opinion --

>> if we could have everybody be quiet in the room. >> it's okay. you know, ace talks, go ahead. no, no, i appreciate your respect. i'll talk into the mic, but what i would like to do, respectfully ask this commission, your oversight board which cancelled out, and they are he not going to meet anymore until september is ridiculous. i told you, secretary, i wanted the reports of the rops. i wants the report that you sent to sacramento telling the governor everything is okay in the city by the bay. i would like to get that before i go up there and hear what he have to say. now, i know you all look at me like i'm some kind of fool. i done reached the pinnacle here in city hall. i can't go no further. ed lee, he's gone. i mean, i can't talk to mark. he's smart, but he took the part, and he's only here for a little start. so the next mayor, we've got to see if he cares -- or no, she

>> third thursdays at the commons is a monthly event series to really activate krisk centkrisk -- civic center, fulton mall, and other locations through social operation. >> in 2016, an initiative called the civic center progress initiative was launched, it was launched by a bunch of city agencies and community partners, so they really had to figure out how to program these places on a more frequent basis. i'm with the civic center community benefit district, and i'm program manager for the civic center commons. also, third thursdays will have

music. that was really important in the planning of these events. >> we wanted to have an artist that appeals to a wide range of tastes. >> i'm the venue manager. good music, good music systems, and real bands with guitar players and drummers. >> we turned uc center and fulton street into a place where people want to be to meet, to laugh, and it's just an amazing place to be. there's a number of different exhibits. there's food, wine, cocktails, and the idea, again, is to give people an opportunity to enjoy what really is, you know, one of the great civic faces in america. when you look from the polk

street steps, and you look all the way down the plaza, down market street, daniel burns' design, this was meant to be this way. it's really special. >> the city approached us off the grid to provide food and beverages at the event as kind of the core anchor to encourage people who leave a reason to stay. >> it's really vibrant. it's really great, just people walking around having a good time. >> this formula is great food, interesting music, and then, we wanted to have something a little more, so we partnered with noise pop, and they brought in some really fun games. we have skeeball, we also have roller skating lessons, and we've got a roller

nonprofits partnerships, you know, neighborhood activists. >> i really like it. it's, like, a great way to get people to find out about local things, cuisine, like, it's really great. >> it's a really good environment, really welcoming. like, we're having a great time. >> we want to inspire other people to do this, just using a part of the plaza, and it's also a good way to introduce people if they're having a large scale event or small scale event, we'll direct you to the right people at the commons so you can get your event planned. >> being a san francisco based company, it was really important to connect and engage with san franciscans. >> how great is it to come out from city hall and enjoy great

music, and be able to enjoy a comtail, maybe throw a bocci ball or skee ball. i find third thursdays to be really reinrig rat reinriggating for me. >> whether you're in the city hall or financial district or anywhere, just come on down on third thursdays and enjoy the music, enjoy an adult beverage, enjoy the skee ball; enjoy an adult playground, if youtoday. >> (clapping.) >> i've been working in
