12:05 am
12:08 am
. >> clerk: madam director? >> commissioner mondejar: thank you, madam secretary. through the chair, this is a major milestone for the project. as you know, the approvals occurred in 2010. the hunters point shipyard redevelopment plan and the bayview-hunters point redevelopment plan and dda was approved in 2010. it was a nonstadium alternative. since then, the 49ers have left san francisco and have constructed a new stadium in santa clara, so the developer is now proposing a more robust mix of land uses that is phased better to respond to market conditions. prior to that, or since then, there's been various amendments to the dda, and -- which was
12:09 am
allowed for early transfer of the candlestick point stadium to accelerate development within the existing stadium site, and also subsequently, the proposition o was approved in 2016 that exempted the project from the prop m limitation on a cap on office space. and as a result, last summer, the board, the commission, d.o.s. and the mayor approved amendments to the dda to reflect the prop tigs o approval by the voters. i want to acknowledge activities to date. there's completion of phases one through three of alice griffith, yielding over 300 units, and phases four and six of alice griffith in various stages of construction. there's also the completion of the commercial kitchen, which is a state of the art 10,000
12:10 am
square foot commercial space. the developers also started construction on the actual building. i do want to also acknowledge that navy continues to do cleanup, and they're committed to doing the -- redoing the work for 100% of units. they're also drafting a work plan that will be made available for 30-day public comment review period, so the navy will work with the u.s.epa, the department of toxic substance and whatever -- control, as well as the california department of public health and of course with local public health department. they are expected to be here today to respond to specific questions regarding the cleanup to finalize details of the work plan. i should note before any transfer 6 land to occii, the federal state and local
12:11 am
agencies overseeing the cleanup must review the remediation and the statement of intended use. i also want to acknowledge that my team have just done an amazing job, and they've just done an amazing job partnering with all the city agencies, sf mta, public utilities commission, rec and park, planning, environment, the mayor's office, and public health, as well. in just getting us through the process. i also want to acknowledge cac who has held most of the public community outreach, and i see mr. honeycutt is well, so i want to thank them, as well. with that, without giving too much of the presentation, i'm going to turn it over to sally
12:12 am
who's going to lead the presentation this afternoon. thank you. >> commissioner mondejar: thank you. >> thank you, director, and good afternoon, commissioners. we're here today to seek your approval on a number of actions related to proposed changes to the candlestick point and hunters point shipyard two phase project. you heard about these proposed changes from the master developer at our last mission meeting and workshop on march 20, but now, ocii start will walk you through the details of the amendments that you will make to make in order to implement this readvisvised pr. the mouse doesn't work. fyi. okay. so our agenda for today is as follows: i am going to give you a quick overview of the approval actions before you and highlight some of the key existing project requirements
12:13 am
that will continue as part of the project. we're going to be spending a lot of time talking about changes, but i wanted to reinforce some of the many benefits that this project will continue to deliver, and then i'm going to give you a broad brush overview of the rationale and the summary of what these project changes are. i will then hand it over to my colleague, jose campos, who is our planning and redesign manager who is going to go over the new proposed shipyard proposed development, and walk you through what the environmental review we undertook while we were reviewing these proposed changes. he will hand it over to jonathan plowman, and he's going to go through the detailed changes of the various project documents like the parks and open space plan, the transportation plan, etcetera. and therngs i'll wrap up with a review of the requested dda amendments, go over what the community outreach efforts were, and leave you a current
12:14 am
status of the developers and contracting workforce efforts, and then i'll go over the last steps in funding and approval. so as our commission secretary readout to you, there are six items before you. including approving the amendments themselves, and approvaling a new development plan, conforming amendment to shipyard phase one's dda and then of course amendments to the candlestick point shipyard phase two dda. just to orient you to what we're talking about, here's a map of candlestick point and phase two is located in the southeast part of the city. and again, just a quick highlight of some key milestones that the project has undergone as the director mentioned, the dda for the candlestick and phase two project was approved in 2010,
12:15 am
and there has been significant work done to date. the work related to these particular proposed project changes really began in earnest this year, and so now here we are in 2018 seeking approval for those changes. so as i mentioned i wanted to just go over briefly some key project and program requirements that will continue to be embedded within this project through its build out, and you know, of course, one of the most important benefits is the housing program. the very robust program. overall, the project, as codified which the dda, 35% units would be below market rate. it was specifically designed to create what we call the housing ladder, which creates housing
12:16 am
opportunities to families with incomes across many other incomes. you can see the breakdown of the different types of housing that we work on from alice griffith to more typical stand-alone affordable housing, and we through our housing program, we serve a spectrum of needs from seniors, families, homeless families and individual and those with special needs. the developer will contribute to the bmr housing program on the moderate income side through conclusionary units and then also creating a workforce tier of units at a higher range of 140 to 160% of ami. so here's just a visual represent of the housing ladder, and you can see the number of units that each income tier would provide. another key element of this project is the community bhen fits program, and here's just
12:17 am
moorely a summary of the many different types of programming, funning, and other initiatives that the developer in the project will provide over the length of the buildout. and you know, there is an active project, and you have been getting reports from the developer, as well as ocii start over the last several years on their progress, but just wanted to highlight a few accomplishments already done to date, which as the director mentioned, you know, the developer has advanced the infrastructure for the first four phases of alice griffith and provide construction subsidy for the first four phases, as well, and completed that now commercial kitchen, started construction on the artists building, provided financial contributions, and you'll hear about their ongoing compliment through t compliment -- commitment through the contracting
12:18 am
program. and now you'll hear what are our goals through the proposed contract changes? to just give you a little background is the original dda contemplated two options, a stadium option and a nonstadium option, and a lot has changed since 2010. one big change is there are no longer any 49ers in san francisco, so when the developer looked at the nonstadium option, they felt that it didn't respond as well as it could to both market conditions and to the project site itself. so in a nutshell, the changes -- the proposed changes are intended to bring a greater mix of land uses to the phase two site by increasing square footages of uses that are already contemplated, and then adding some new uses to the site. and then, also, trying to leverage as much housing entitlement as we can. it would also allow some additional flexibility in the project by creating an approval path, subject of course to cac,
12:19 am
commission and environmental review, but of course the most obvious change that you'll see and hear about today is the physical land use plan is changing, particularly in what we call the southern part of the shipyard south or you'll hear about the warehouse district, but really, it's a reenvisioned street block plan that more closely aligns with the his toric layout of the shipyard, and this was designed by an award winning architect that designed the new african american history museum, the smithsonian in washington, d.c. it increases the potential fore the developer to retain the existing buildings, to potentially allow for this be adaptive reuse. also with that changed street grid kim an opportunity to increase and then reconfigure the parks and open spaces and make some improvements to that programming. and then that also allows them
12:20 am
or through this process, the developers could potentially create green income and sustainable infrastructure programs that we're calling an ecogrid, and you'll hear more about that from jonathan. so very quickly, just a quick visual. on the left you'll see the 2010 shipyard land use plan, and on the right, the 2018. you can see that change in the street grid particularly in the southern part of the shipyard. but just to break it down a little bit by subject matter, you can see more housing, the total housing count would actually go up by 172 units, and we're able to accomplish this because there are 172 units unbuilt from the phase one entitlement. they're not planned to be constructed, and so we're able to capture that unused entitlement and bring it over onto the candlestick and new phase site. so the total count would go unto 10,672.
12:21 am
there would also be a shift in the allocation between candlestick and shipyard. you can see that on the slides reque with the different colors there, and then you're going to hear more about a change in candlestick. at i mentioned the parks and open space plan changes as a result of the change in street grid and changes almost 1 is 37 acres. the biggest changes really occur on the nonresidential side. overall, the commercial and nonresidential uses would increase by a total of about 2.1 million square feet, and the green table on the left shows you the proposed increases to land uses that were already contemplated, so it would be adding about 1.3 million square feet to the
12:22 am
r and d and office entitlement. the orange table on the right shows the new entitlement buckets that would be created. 410,000 square feet for potential institutional uses that could be educational in nature, and then, 75,000 square feet of a new use called makers space that i will give you more details on later in the presentation. you have a more detailed version of this chart in your packets. this is just focusing in on that total column, but again, you can see the total changes proposed to the candlestick and shipyard phase two projects, and then, the new total of about 6.7 square feet in nonresidential uses and again the totals of housing and parks and open space i mentioned. so to implement these changes, there are a large number of amendments that we need to undertake starting today, and that's because there are a
12:23 am
large number of controls and documents that govern this project, and this is just an image to kind of give a sense of how the project entitlements are managed through this project. and so of these, the ones that just turned green and underlined are the ones that we are amending, and you're going to hear about those today. but the largest by far is our dda. this is our major agreement with the contractor to build out this project. it is compromised by the body of the dda itself and all of the documents having to do with the build outside, so anything that's being amended is laid out through these project changes. now we'll get into a little bit more of the details, so now i'd like to hand it over to jose who's going to talk about redevelopment plans, the d fore d and the environmental review.
12:24 am
>> thank you, director. >> thank you, sally. good afternoon, commissioners. to start, i would like to present to you some highlights of the redevelopment plan amendments, and starting with the hunters point shipyard, the plan amendment would change the names of land use districts to match a new vision for phase two on the hunters point shipyard. also land use definitions would be modified to match the updated vision. this calls for more specific commercial land use categories such as makers space, and the more diverse mix of uses including the hotel and different types of schools. the amendment would clarify that sustainable private infrastructure such as an ecogrid infrastructure would be permitted. it includes a total maximum square footage limitation.
12:25 am
the development limitations found in the shipyard plan would be adjusted by reducing the maximum square footage of r and d office and therefore increasing the square foot i can't imagines for recreational and increasing the hotel and central land usages. the dda amendment under that, the maximum square footage of r and d office would be increased to match the maximum permitted under the redevelopment plan. finally with the plan amendment, up to 118,500 square feet of r and d office allocated to the shipyard could be shifted to candlestick point, subject to future commission approval. now onto the bayview-hunters point reveemt plan amendment, this governs candlestick point. this plan amendment would allow the conversion of uses within
12:26 am
candlestick point between certain commercial land use categories, subject to commission approval and not an exceedance of the plan's limitations on development. the plan would also be amended to allow that transfer of 118,500 square feet of r and d office uses allocated to the shipyard to candlestick. and finally, the plan amendment would shift the jamestown parcel, which is located on jamestown street and not owned by the developer out of zone one and into zone two of the plan, which is governed under the planning department's -- department and the planning code. here's a map showing in blue the jamestown parcel that would be removed from the development project by excising it from zone one of the redevelopment project area. now, with respect to the d for d, with the stadium option gone, five point engaged london
12:27 am
base arc tech sir david ajay -- [ inaudible ] >> -- to align with the shipyard's historic street grid and the creation of large blocks. both of these aspects would allow the developer to maintain more of the large industrial buildings that currently exist on the shipyard and celebrate them by -- [ inaudible ] >> -- starting in the north -- [ inaudible ] >> -- the north shoreline district is residential in isn't that true and lower in building heights. it would serve as a continuation of the hunters point hill development down to the northern waterfront. as you see in the center in red -- in green, the village center is the home of the artists building and the commercial kitchen, and it's a prime location for future maker spaces and retail. [please stand by for captioner switch]
12:29 am
. >> it calls for an appropriate massing around the green room and the water room of heights and importantly a stepping down in building heights from the hill top to the waterfront. and here is a rendering of those building heights as they step down from the hill top to the waterfront. as i mentioned earlier, the vision calls for large scale development blocks partly to
12:30 am
attract commercial tenants who will need large floor plate office space. the working group team tested many of these blocks. the mapping i show you now is just a standard building envelope that follows a standard set of development controls, such as maximum height, building set backs, the street wall requirements, coverage, dilate, etcetera. to make sure that the architecture buildings are attractive, the working group creates a menuapproach to architectural controls, so looking at the potential of a big box, we decided to look at how can we shape that and -- in -- especially given the size of these blocks to ensure that the architecture is attractive. so we came up with these controls, and we came up with
12:31 am
this menu approach. depending on the size of the building, a certain number of points are required, and here before you is the menu of the architecture controls. will rememberer and the architect gets to choose among the list of the controls and they focus on facade composition, bulk and massing as seen from afar and as seen from up close as a pedestrian, very importantly, ground floor activation. for the test that i'm going to show you in a moment, and we tested many of these blocks, the bolded controls are those in the test fit that the architect and developer chose in each category. as you can see, the number of points required, two in one category and one in the bulk and massing category, and four in the building enhancement and public realm enhancement category. out of this came this design, which basically proved to us not only that even with large blocks, we can encourage and
12:32 am
require good design, but also one that is economically viable, and that the developer will be able to build. so while that concludes my overview of the d for d, for the record, staff requests a modification to the commission's d for d approval resolution. right now, the state lands commission is reviewing height increases that we are proposing to confirm that the trust value of state trust lands within the shipyard is maintained. so we recommend that your approval resolution be modified in order to accommodate any minor revision that state lands may request, and we ask that the executive director be able to make any conforming changes if they are proposed by state land. now onto the california environmental quality act. the commission is requested to
12:33 am
make ceqa findings as part of its approvals today. in summary, in 2010, the san francisco redevelopment agency commission and the planning commission certified the project's environmental impact report in 2010. the lead agency, ocii, since that date, has issued four addenda to the environmental impact report. the ceqa findings that the commission would make today are based on the conclusion of the addendum to the eir which study the environmental effects of the updates to the project as proposed. the addendum, which you have, recommends modifications to 16 mitigation measures that were adopted in the original eir's mitigation and monitoring program -- or in the eir's mitigation and monitoring program. addendum five concludes that the amendments are within the scope of the project that was originally analyzed that will not result in any new impacts or a substantial impact in
12:34 am
previously identified financial impacts, and there by does not alter the conclusions reached in the eir. so this concludes my portion of the presentation, and i pass the baton to jonathan. >> thank you, jose, and good afternoon, commissioners. i'll just walk you through the planning document amendments involved in these changes, and i'll just say at the outset there's some really positive changes that are in here, and we're really excited to share them with you. firstly, with the schedule of performance and the phasing plan, these together set the schedule for completion of project infrastructure, including the parks and the offsite streets, schedule of performance provides the completion dates, and the phasing plan identifies the
12:35 am
locations of the infrastructure. in the phasing plan amendments, hunters point shipyard's being reduced from four to three major phases, and reduced from 17 to sixsub phases. the geographic sequence of is changing. it was to develop clockwise. under the current proposal, development would start at the inland core and progress outward toward the shoreline, and at candlestick point, major changes are already reduced from four to three, the sub phases are used from 18 to 17 and the geographic sequence of development is changing slightly. previously the first phases involved alice griffith, the retail center and adjacent housing and then development two progress outward towards the shoreline. under the proposed changes, the first phase will not be changing, they will still be alice griffith, retail center
12:36 am
and adjacent housing, but then development would move to candlestick point south and then candlestick point north, and this indicates the proposed phasing for candlestick point and shipyard. these tables show the current schedule of performance and proposed performance. i just wanted to mention that schedule is based on our current best estimates, but they may change based on things such as the schedule maybe of transfers. for the park and open space plan, i'll just say thanks to the staff of parks and recreation department. the parks and open space parts contains plans and schematics for the parks. the acreage has increased by 10.7 acres. this is due to a number of changes, including approximately five blocks that
12:37 am
had been development being converted to parklands in the north shoreline neighborhood. i'm going to try to use the new neighborhood designation so i'm getting used to it, but that's the northern part of hunters point shipyard. another reason fore the increase in acreage is the reorientation of the street grid in the warehouse district. there's also a new privately owned public space being added in the warehouse district, we all it the gre all -- call it the green room, a and it effectively replaces three smaller parks. there's also at the end of dry dock four, an enlarged and reconfigured plaza called the water room. also, new children's play areas, dog runs, and exercise areas have been added in a number of the parks, which is a really exciting change, and centralized areas for stormwater treatment have been
12:38 am
added in north side park, water pront prommenaenade park. here is the currently proposed plan for parks and open spaces, and here is the proposed plan. very briefly, i'll just give you a look at the two of the more significant open spaces that i've mentioned. this is the location of the water room. again it's at the end of dry dock four, and this rendering shows you what that open space might look like. as you can see it really celebrates the waterfront location, and there's amphi theater style seating along the edge of the dry dock. this is the edge of the green room, a publicly accessible open space, and here's what that might look like. it's a large rectangular park framed by commercial and
12:39 am
residential blocks, very much in the spirit of san francisco city parks, which occupy four city blocks such as alamo square. next i'll speak with the transportation plan. it establishes the transportation infrastructure for the project and it's extremely lit cal because we're bringing thousands of workers and residents to the site. it's going to play two really important roles. first it's going to knit new neighborhoods, and provide access to critical destinations like downtown san francisco, the balboa park b.a.r.t. station, and the bayshore caltrain station. now this slide covers the basics of how that happens, and this isn't new, but i wanted to go over it briefly. there are three muni routes that are going to extend out, the 24, the 29, and the 44. also there will be a new service, the 48, which will one
12:40 am
to the bayview site. there will be bus rapid transit service. there will also be a candlestick park -- candlestick point express bus to downtown. this center will also be accessible to the primary bicycle facility running through the site and to potential future water taxi service at dry dock four. and finally, there will be a full-time transportation coordinator whose job will be to monitor and manage the project transportation needs and to recommend measures as needed to make sure that transportation goals are achieved.
12:41 am
so the point i want to leave you with is just the project's not an island, and we're not planning just for the site but also for the bayview neighborhood and how the bayview neighborhood will participate in the project and benefit from the changes it brings, and that includes having high quality options to walk, bike, take transit or drive between the bayview and the project site. the changes to the transportation plan include readvising the street pattern in the warehouse district so that it follows the historic street pattern. there's a new pedestrian and bicycle bridge acrossing dry dock four which is really great because it's going to knit together the two halves of the shipyard. there's some changes to the primary bicycle route which runs through the whole project site. in the northern part of the shipyard, it's been enhanced. it was previously a bike lane. now it's going to be a separated bike lane and cycle track, and in the southern part the warehouse district, it was previously a bicycle -- excuse
12:42 am
me, a separated bike way cycle track on crisp road. now it's going to be a bike path by itself running through a number of the open spaces and across that bridge on dry dock four. so -- and this is new. result you'll be able to bicycle through the entire point from candlestick point to hunters point shipyard on a facility at no time will have you to share space with automobile traffic. there are transit phasing updates responding to changes in the schedule of performance and sf mta service plans. this figure just shows those public transportation services i've mentioned, including four muni routes connecting the project to third street, the brt service, connecting to caltrain and b.a.r.t., and the express services going downtown. and this figure shows the bicycle and pedestrian networks which includes that bicycle
12:43 am
facility, separated from auto traffic running through the entire project. this rendering just shows you the two bridge -- well, first bridge that i've discussed on dry dock four which was a bicycle pedestrian bridge, and potential second one further out toward the bay which would be a pedestrian only bridge. and in this figure, you can see the dedicated bus lanes for the bus rapid transit running alongside of the green room. and before i go onto the sustainability plan, just wanted to express our thanks to the staff of the sf mta who collaborated very closely on all these changes. so the sustainability plan identifies project sustainability goals. on this we worked closely with the department of the environment staff and they worked on these. the updates are the addition of a facility for recycling water, a geothermal system, and
12:44 am
collectively, we're calling this the ecogrid. the district geothermal heating and cooling system uses the relative ground temperatures to heat and cool buildings. during the summer when it's relatively cool underground, the liquid will be cooled and used to coal buildings. during the winter, when it's relatively warm underground, the liquid will be warmed and used to heat buildings. the recycled water treatment plan will divert waste water from the city's sewer system and recycle it for things like watering lawns and flushing toilet doe toilets. the treatment plan will use purification technologies that
12:45 am
produce very little odor and it will be enclosed in an indoor space. it'll be located on crisp road where it'll be surrounded on several sides by open space, and specifically the future open space maintenance yard. next, the infrastructure plan which details the infrastructure the developer is required to construct. it consists of two volumes. we're not amending the first volume, candlestick point, amending only the second point, hunders point ship ward phase two. the streets and the utility systems are of course updated to conform to the new street grid, and this is a really important and i think a really great change that's being made. the design criteria for sea level rise are being increased at the development perimeter, previously it is going to be
12:46 am
amended to accommodate 44 irchls of sea level rise. it's now being designed to accommodate 66 inches of sea level rise. finally, the design review and document approval procedure, it just describes the submittal and review processes for major phase applications, sub phase applications, certificate cal improvements, parks and open spaces, and changes to this include we are adjusting the times of parks and open space schematic design so that it aligns more closely with construction to give people better opportunities for community input and clarifying various submittal inputs and processes. so with that, thank you very much, and i'll turn it back to sally. >> thank you. >> thank you, jonathan. so what he just we know
12:47 am
overcome prizes tknow -- went over comprises the changes, and i'll go over the body of the dda itself and then a number of key exhibit exhibitexhibit -- exhibits. there is some unbuilt commercial space, in phase one, but this would allow up to 171,000 square feet of that to transfer into the candlestick phase two project. we're making some clarifying changes to the developer's obligation to construct and maintain midblock breaks and also raise the creation of a definition for something like the green room which is a provi privately owned by publicly accessible green space. this existing building currently owned by ocii would now be treated like other
12:48 am
former navy land and be conveyed for development. we're creating a pilot option or a payment in lieu of taxes for any tax exempt entities that might come to the shipyard, and finally, we're also making some changes to agency costs which would increase the percentage of ocii staff overhead costs that can be reimbursed by the developer. so now for something not related to the phase two redesign as all but also a candlestick change that we've been working on, namely the incollusion of a -- inclusion of a new housing definition. the project would serve seniors aged 62 years or older, and they would be at how's hold incomes of 60% of ami or below. this is not a -- an approval of
12:49 am
a specific project itself right now, merely creating the potential for approval of this type of project. in concept, we think such a project would be about 104 units, and if it were to be developed, it would trigger corresponding changes to that housing ladder, and as you can see on this table in the right hand column in red, you can see what those changes would be. and then, we would kraed out the remaining 80 to 120% units a little bit more to make sure we had coverage at all the different ami levels in between. since this is or would be a senior project, the units would be sized for smaller households, primarily one bedrooms and junior one bedrooms, and in creating the stand-alone project rather than sprinkling it through, the
12:50 am
developer believes they would be able to include more bmr you wants. it doesn't increase the total number of bmr units for the entirety, but it increases it after. like all inclusionary housing, it would be developed at the same time as its corresponding market rate housing in cpo-2, and like all senior projects it would include all amenities needed to make this a really successful project, things like fitness rooms, libraries, and other things that make this a real community. the developer is currently in discussions with mercy housing as well as other southeast neighborhood organizations to see how they can partner together to bring such a project forward which we would anticipate would be sometime later this year. so there are a few other bmr housing plan changes we would like to make, one of which is to give certificateed permit
12:51 am
holders -- now onto the community benefits plan. one general change we're making is to add in a reporting requirement like we have in phase one and that you've been heard periodically over the last several years, but then onto the specific change regarding building 813. as i mentioned, this is an existing building that ocii owns and was originally contemplated to be used for business incubation purposes. instead of ocii retaining it, it would be treated like other former navy property and conveyed for development. the developer would then instead provide maker space that we've been talking about, and it would be 75,000 square
12:52 am
feet of maker space. it's being defined as you see here, basically light or small scale production, manufacturing or repair, likely to have associated retail, but it's fairly flexibly defined. the developer would set aside that 75,000 square feet within the phase two site in locations that would be determined at the sub phase application approval in a cold shell condition, and they would be at market rent, but that would be comparable to whatever then -- then current market rent is for comparable spaces throughout the city. and most importantly, the developer or the vertical developer of the building that would contain the maker space would need to follow a robust marketing and tenant selection plan. these spaces would have special restrictions recorded against
12:53 am
them to ensure that they stay maker spaces. we want to make sure we have an allowance for any temporarily relief for this program so that spaces don't sit vacant unnecessarily or for too lock a time, so this would only be for a maximum up to five years, and then after each temporary term concluded, the marketing terms kick in again. the maker spaces themselves would last until the earlier of one, if a particular space has gone through three temporary periods without being able to find a successful maker tent tenant, then, the space could be unrestricted, but assumed this be tenanted with makers, which we certainly hope would happen, it would be at minimum a ten year term with automatic
12:54 am
five year extensions that would be ongoing unless the developer came to the commission to request something different. or of course if the shipyard redevelopment plan expired. the other thing that the developer would do is related to the community facility space, and that's an existing program already within the dda, which is to set aside 55,000 square feet of retail spaces in cold shell conditions and then ocii is required to go find the tenants. it's somewhat flexibly defined in the dda; and the rest of the space could be used for retail, community retail use, but its main purpose is supposed to be focused on enhancing the bayview-hunters point neighborhood and the new neighborhood that this project
12:55 am
is creating. so what is being proposed now is to instead of having the developer set aside that space in a cold shell condition, they would actually put the financial investment in to provide that in a warm shell condition, which would greatly help tenants when they're building out their spaces. the developer would then take on the obligation to find the tenants for those spaces and they would follow a very similar marketing plan approach to the maker spaces but with slightly different features. so the key distinctions between the community facilities marketing versus a maker space that the marketing plan would be much more focused on the bayview-hunters point neighborhood and businesses there, and then, the developer is actually going to bring forward potential tenant candidates to the cac. the cac will hear about them, and then, the cac will actually make a recommendation to the developer on who the tenants should be. similar to the maker space, we
12:56 am
do want to allow for some temporary relief to ensure that we don't have unnecessary vacancies. but again, what is different though from the makers space is that these restrictions would not expire. there is one other community benefits plan amendment that i wanted to reference. the developer's already obligated to provide a 15 to 30,000 square feet vacant lot for a potential future arts center, and so what that proposal would do would allow them as an alternative to provide a 10 to 15,000 square foot warm shell face in a building, and this change has been discussed and approved by the artist community at the shipyard. quickly, i'll just mention we're making some other conforming changes to the financing plan, like updating those major phase consolidations and updating the salary proceed forma, and then
12:57 am
we need to make changes to the phase one dda through the a-7th amendment which would reference that 172 units transferring over as well as that 71,000 square feet of commercial space. so community outreach on these proposed changes began last august, and both the developer and ocii staff have presented information to the cac, the larger bayview-hunters point community and several scity agencies. before you is a list of those community and public events. the cac acts on april 9, and a majority of the members voted to recommend the project changes now before you. before i wrap up, i want to leave you with a current status of the project's contracting and workforce efforts, since this is an active project and work is ongoing. as a reminder, the dda already has a robust set of policies
12:58 am
pursuant to the bayview-hunters point employment policies, and this is just a copy of those. here is some current data on the ongoing sec contracting and hiring for construction job as well as their participation in the professional designee training program. an upcoming signature milestone for us will be to negotiate a permanent secure job financial agreement agreement. so finally, our next steps. next steps would be heard at the planning commission a week from this wednesday, and onto the board and introduction to the board of supervisors in may. in june, we expect to be before
12:59 am
the oversight board, and the board of supervisors would hold hearings in late june, and then we anticipate seeking some approvals from the state lands commission in august. the dda would be final after the department of finance approves the amendment, and then the plan should be approved by fall of this year. before you hear public comment on these matters, i would like to acknowledge the various team members. if you would stand. >> commissioner mondejar: oh, wow. thank you. >> i would of course love to thank the cac, chaired by dr. honeycutt who dedicated much much their meeting times over the last several months to reviewing, providing and considering these project changes.
1:00 am
[applause]. >> finally, i again want to echo the director thanks to the amazing team at ocii who worked on this important project. it was really a great example of team work across the agency, so thank you team. and thank you, commissioners for your patience through this. we are here, staff is here, development team members are here to answer any questions you may have. thank you. >> commissioner mondejar: oh, my goodness. thank you. a lot of work.
