been designed to facilitate development of 25% of all market rate residential units built within the project site. below market rate, inclusion inary and in lieu fee units. the mayor's office of housing is committed to applying fees generated to the project site within district 10 and could use these dollars for acquisition rehab, small and large sites. all of the affordable units are subject to the 40% local preference program to encourage community stability. turning to open space, the developer proposes a mixed-use development on the project site. it will include 14 acres of publicly accessible parks, plaza, bike trails and pedestrian pathways. 12 of those acres will be com prized of improvements to the rec park owned waterfront open space as well as five acres of private land that will be developed into what is identified as the big green. this new five-acre park will be dedicated at no cost to be part of the city's southeast
11:01 pm
waterfront network of public parks. when completed they will connect the 1.5-mile waterfront park at herrance head and continuing down through the rec park site into north side park. the project sponsor is committed to providing a services district yelling $1.5 million annually to enhance maintenance and operation support of the open spaces and public realm. the city has reserved the right to draw $750,000 from the dollars to use for job training in the areas of landscaping, horticulture, sustainable infrastructure, building and open space management at the project site. a component of the city's long-term sea level rise strategy is identified in the southern bayfront framework requires this projects agree to a community facility district contributing to the city's future resources for air wide sea-levels rise mitigation encouraging the city captures these future dollars to protect the areas beyond the borders of the project. in additional community
11:02 pm
benefits, i'm not going to each one of them because i know you've got all that in front of you. they include on site childcare, a open air community market, grocery store, first job opportunities. local higher and 18% local enterprise business target as established by the office of contract monitoring and the city has reserved an option on 5,000 square feet of commercial space for possible future community facility use such as reading rooms, libraries and other community-serving space. that's my presentation and i will be available for questions. >> today we saw an article regarding the mid-market problem with people not being able to rent out retail space. how are you going to mitigate that with 200,000 square feet of retail space? >> we're looking at breaking the commercial space. the commercial space isn't just retail space. there's office space. it's a combination of different
11:03 pm
types of commercial uses. mostly broken down into small components. >> so are you seeing an interest by brick and mortar stores to come in or not? >> one of the things that's interesting about this project and what they're proposing with the public market, is the idea of kind of using that as an incubator so they'll have low cost plug and play opportunities for small vendors. as the project grows overtime, there's a 17-year agreement -- vest ing so the idea is as we build the community out, occupy the residentses and start to build these smaller businesses up within the market and move them into the brick and mortar as they grow up. >> what's the line it takes to get there? >> i'm sorry, what? >> what bus do i take to get there? >> i'll turn that over to transit for that. >> this might be a good segway into the transportation
11:04 pm
components but i'm happy to answer your questions. so going back to the transportation framework, i'm going to go through those four com popcomponents. site design. it's by san francisco better street plan. it's focused on really creating walkable, bikeable opportunities. there's space for the transit stops for the future hunters point express bus, which will come online when the development up the road at candle stick point happens. the project is also investing an off-site improvements. they're installing signals and a left turn for bicyclists, transit-only lane. all of this is memorialized in the infrastructure plan, which is one of the documents you are consenting to in terms of the transportation components of the
11:05 pm
infrastructure plan within your actions today. the project has really integrated a network of walking and biking within the site and not just within the site but also creating connections to adjacent park lands and neighborhoods. at the request of the city, the site is creating a separated bike way on new hudson avenue. it really takes the need to bike off of ennis, which is not a very great bike street. also not just upgrading the biking but also creating an opportunity for our transit-only lane on innis to serve that express bus way. they're creating a segment of the bay trail to contribute to that regional amenity. the transportation demand management plan is designed to achieve a 20% reduction in
11:06 pm
driving trips, compared to what the environmen environmental ans estimated. it's five percentage points greater for what is called for as a mitigation in their environmental review process and this was something that was negotiated with the project to do even better than what they are being charged with doing. so to achieve this, the project is committing to measures that is physical and operational that serve residents, workers, visitors to the site. there's an on going monitoring and reporting and compliance program associated with the t.d.m. plan and there will be on site staff or a transportation management agency or association to deliver the program. t.d.m. is part of their transportation plan which is a schedule to the so one of the
11:07 pm
things you are being asked to content to today as part of your action. the environmental review process identified transportation-related impacts associated with the project. the mitigation, how they will be measured and assessed in the implementation and reporting requirements. they're all articulated in the monitoring and reporting plan which is part of what you are being asked to agree to today. i.we're recommending you take action to make the conditions of approval of the project. these go above and beyond required mitigations but do things like minimize cues and really focus loading impacts. m.t.a.'s role in terms of environmental mitigations is we'll monitor to make sure it
11:08 pm
happens. we had responsibility for implementing a couple of the capital measures that are funded by the project. and other components of the negotiated agreement before you, as courtney mentioned. the project is proposing 1800 parking spaces but it's also going to be built out over more than 10 years and given the changes and auto ownership trends, given that there's going to be new, very rapid transit line on the corridor, the high cost of parking facilities and the project's strong commitment to t.d.m. and the demonstrated relationship between driving and provision of on site parking, the parties agreed to look closely at up-to-date information and data and really look at how much parking is needed at ever phase of the project. it's going to be a phased project. so any phase of the project that
11:09 pm
includes a garage there will be a revisiting of how much that parking is actually needed. sfta along with the city planning department will be part of the city review. this is memorialized. the other component is environmental review said we need to have transit-only lane on innis avenue. gave them the ability to call for that transit-only lane before the impact is experienced so we could get out ahead. the environmental review document didn't articulate how we have to -- how we should give that notice or how payment should happen. the transportation exhibit gives a little more certainty to that. to summarize, the action before you, there are several within your resolution, is contenting to development agreement, a proving the transportation exhibit to the development experiment including the transportation and t.d.m. plans.
11:10 pm
approving the comb phone ants of the infrastructure plan and the findings and the associated mitigation measures. we are available to answer all of your questions, which will keep us here another two hours. >> thank you, very much. directors, do i have any questions? i don't see any public comment cards. do i have any -- i do have a public comment card. excellent. >> thank you, my name is michael hammond. i'm a resident and member of the neighborhood receipt sent association. soon after they purchased this property, they came to talk to us, which is not really that unusual. all developers took to the neighborhood. what they did that was different was they listened to us. our neighborhood association 12 years ago sponsored a
11:11 pm
community-based neighborhood planning process and it resulted in a 50-page over all plan for the future development of this undeveloped neighborhood. we call it our vision statement and over our discussions over several years, they agreed to adopt a large number of the elements of that plan and one of the key elements that they've agreed to adopt is the bike path off innes in a separate bike path that will alleviate some of the congestion on innes and i was out there some time ago and a group of 12 german tourists were riding their bicycle. they absolutely couldn't believe that we had this amazing shoreline, this marvelous area, and they could not get close to
11:12 pm
the shoreline. they were disappointed and agasped this was allowed to happen. this won't happen with this plan. they're going to have much access to the shore. the bike path will be off innes. one ever our key requests and they're going to accommodate that. they're going to jump start the neighborhood planning for innes avenue. other stakeholders are involved. pg&e and they've agreed to use their influence to bring these people to the table and get this process started soon. i want to just take a second to comment on mr. -- >> your time is up. thank you very much for coming down. >> i understand that. >> i appreciate t i'm sorry i can only allow you the allotted time. mr. hammond. thank you so much for coming down and taking the time. >> i'm voting now if you
11:13 pm
continue. >> thank you mr. hammond. thank you, very much. we really appreciate you coming down to talk to us. much appreciated. do i have anymore public comments? no. seeing none. do i have a motion to approve? >> and i have a second. >> all in favor aye. >> aye. >> and the opposed. no. hearing none it is approved. thank you so much. ms. pain and both of you for coming down and it's an unfortunate fact at the end of a long meeting sometimes the biggest projects get the least attention but congratulations on the work you've done on this. it looks like it's going to be an amazing project. >> at this point you are going into a closed session. we will ask the room be cleared. i'm not sure there's any member of the public here to address items for
11:14 pm

11:16 pm
i want to thank the san francisco unified school district, the san francisco police department, sfmta, the department of public health and walk s.f. and the boys and girls club for working with us to make sure that our kids are getting to and from school safely. as a new school year begins, we are stepping up educational campaigns and enforcement so that drivers slow down and our students are safe. no matter if they're walking, biking or taking transit. the s.f. police department traffic company is increasing its enforcement near 20 schools and foe cushion on our high injury corridors where the majority of the accidents happen throughout city. we know that the key to reducing accidents and fatalities is reducing the speed that cars are traveling.
11:17 pm
a pedestrian hit by a car going 30 miles per hour is six times more likely to die than a car going 20 miles per hour. the sfmta is repainting approximately 90 crosswalks to make them visible -- more visible to drivers and we are deploying 187 crossing guards and we are joined here today by some of our most talented crossing guards in the city. thank you all so much for your work. i went to rosa parks elementary school and we would all walk to school together and we were so fortunate because we always had a cotszing gar. there was someone that made sure we got to school safely. that is what this is about. keeping our kids safe. along with enforcement, we know that we need to make physical changes to our most dangerous transit corridors.
11:18 pm
earlier this week, i unveiled the new masonic avenue corridor which previously had been the site of far too many accidents and, sadly, for too many fatalities. numerous city agencies work together to make the new masonic avenue a safer place for our pedestrians, for bicyclists, transit riders and for drivers. hopefully i don't get anymore of those complaints about bumpy roads along masonic. it is a newly paved street as well and it is absolutely beautiful. we are working on infrastructure improvements like this across the city, while also taking immediate stems to make our streets safer. so know to the point of this press conference is safety. it is about making people aware that, as our kids return to school, we want people to be aware. we want drivers to drive more safely. we want people to look out for
11:19 pm
one another and just to add an extra bit of security, law enforcement will be out there in full effect making sure that we are all on our best behavior. together, we can make sure that every student in san francisco gets to and from school safety and i want to thank you all again for joining us, for helping us get the word out. and that the time, i want to introduce one of our partners in this effort. our school superintendent, dr. vincent matthews. [applause] >> thank you, mayor breed. and i also want to thank you all for being here and joining us. on monday morning, monday the 20th, over -- we're standing in front of everett middle school. over 750 students will return to this school and it is important that we do everything we can to keep them safe and
11:20 pm
the number one way of keeping them safe is slowing down. reducing speed saves lives. 750 students will return here, but throughout the city, 56,000 students will be returning to our schools along with 10,000 staff moebs and coming to these schools will be anywhere from 75,000 to 100,000 parents dropping them off and picking them up. we want to make sure that all of our people who are associated with our schools in any way, shape or form are kept safe. so once again, we want to encourage you to know that we're starting school on monday and we need you to slow down. what we're also excite about is that we're training the next generation of safe walkers. we are partnering with so many organizations. and what that does is it allows us to have our safety workers here and they will be at our sites. last year, they were at 15 of our schools.
11:21 pm
and this coming year, there will be an additional four schools added with more safety workers to help our students stay safe. daniel webster, ed cleveland elementary, gordon j. lowe will have safety workers added to their sites. we're really excited about monday. we're excited about partnering with our partners to keep our students safe and we're excited that you're all here today. with that, and without any further ado, i'd like the introduce our chief of police to you, chief scott. [applause] >> good morning. >> as we relate to the start of this school year, the safety of our residents, especially our children as the mayor stated, is one of our top priorities. under mayor breed's leadership, we're collaborating closely with our partner agencis to put in place smart strategies to drive down traffic injuries and fatalities.
11:22 pm
outlined in our vision zero initiative, we want to get to zero fatalities by the year 2024. and here are a few numbers to think about. while children represent about 6% of our traffic injuries overall, they make up a slightly higher proportion, 8%, of our pedestrian injuries. compared to 6% of passenger and 4% of bicyclist injuries. we're pleased to say that there is a downward trend in children trafficked fatalitis in san francisco, decreasing from three in 2013 -- three fatalities -- to zero in 2016 and zero in 2017. i think that is very commendable. last year we saw significant drop also in overall traffic deaths. compared to 2016, there were 34 deaths that were traffic related and 2017 there were 22 deaths that were traffic related and then 2018 we have 10 deaths.
11:23 pm
we're tracking better. we know 10 is far too many. just this week, a bicyclist lost his life to a hit-and-run driver in our tenderloin district. so we're focused on getting to zero. what i've asked my staff to do, including the police department's traffic company which many are here today, is to conduct back-to-school child-pedestrian and bicycle safety operations for the entire week. these officers will perform traffic enforcement at or near 20 san francisco schools -- i'll wait until the bus passes, the train -- located near what is are considered our high injury corridors. our efforts to focus on the behavior is to jeopardize pedestrian and/or bicycle safety, which are speed, failure to yield to pedestrians, violating bicycle lane regulations and other
11:24 pm
at-risk violations. it's really important to point out that we work on these efforts year round. not only during the school year to make our streets safer. throughout the school year, we'll be engaged in traffic enforcement and education regarding the consequences of unsafe speed. we know that higher speeds increases the severity of injuries in a crash so we're focused on getting drivers to slow down. our officers will be conducting high-vizability enforcement and education in part through a state-funded safe route to school program. we've done 30 operations so far this year. in addition, our school resource officers will balls on hand this year to engage with student and teachers and continue the conversation about safety on our street. the message that i'd like to leave the public with, and it is the same message from the
11:25 pm
mayor and superintendent of schools troeb slow down. the speed limit is 50 -- is 15 miles per hour. watch out for small children enterg our cross walks and we can keep every pedestrian in our city safe throughout the year. now i'd like to invite mr. tom mcguire, the director of sustainable streets for the san francisco municipal transportation authority to the microphone. thank you. [applause] >> good morning. thank you. it's great -- it's a great time of year. the first day ofle school is a great time of year to remind ourselves and recommit ourselves to our city's vision zero commitment. the commitment to end all traffic fatalities in san francisco by 2024. our school children are, on one hand the future of our city. on the other hand, some of our most vulnerable pedestrians and we can all do better.
11:26 pm
we can all do better by not speeding, by slowing down and by yielding to pedestrians, especially seniors and especially our school children as they twaouk and from school. a pedestrian in the crosswalk always has the right-of-way. i'm really excited and i'm joined today by four of our most senior crossing guards. the m.t.a. will have over 187 crossing guards out at over 100 elementary and middle school this is year. they are on the frontlines to keep all of our kids safe. and to work with our communities to build that culture of safety that we need. we are excite about things that the m.t.a. does to support safe travel to and from schools. our muni assistance program provides transit assistance to help kids on the bus, on bus routes with high rates of crime and vandalism. we've repainted over 90 crosswalks, high-visibility crosswalks so drivers and pedestrians are clear about the rules of the road and they know
11:27 pm
where the crosswalks are and know how to use them safely. so we're very excited about our efforts at the m.t.a. in terms of engineering and crossing guards and education. but it can't just be -- it can't just be those efforts. we need everyone to participate in the effort to slow down and keep our kids safe, to move from that culture of speeding to the culture of safety that we need if we are going to achieve our ambitious goal of vision zero by 2024. i'd like to introduce the head of walk s.f. [applause] >> good morning, everybody. thank you, mayor breed, superintendent scott to talk about our partnership in making streets safe. for many parents, this weekend getting ready to go to school is more about new sneakers and backpacks and school supplies. it is the work of figuring out how their child will be getting to and from school safety.
11:28 pm
san francisco is proud to be part of the team that is making it possible to choose sustainable forms of transportation, like walking, biking, transit or car pool or the four fun ways of traveling to school. because in the 1960s, about 50% of children used to walk and bike to school and now that number is less than 20%. and we know that this -- children and parents don't allow their kids to walk and bike to school because our streets don't feel safe. and we're trying to change that. in 2011, san francisco became the first large city in california to establish a 15 miles an hour school zone city-wide. this is around 181 schools. we did this because we know that speed is the number one cause of severe and fatal traffic crashs in our city. proud to say that walk s.f. led this initiative, along with
11:29 pm
city agencis that are here with us today. because we need to help protect children, families and all pedestrians city wide. through smart initiatives and strong partnerships like the safe routes to school program, we're coming together to make sure that parents have options to get their children to school safely. . beyond a single occupancy vehicle. this behind me is the team to put in place necessary infrastructure, the engineering, enforcement, encouragement and education through the safe route to school partnership to enable our children the future of san francisco to arrive to school safe. and ready to learn. we hope to see you all on october 10 for our 10th annual walk and rolle to school day. we will be announcing the location soon. but i hope to see you all there. thank you so much. [applause]

11:35 pm
tenant, and it might be normal because the tenant will -- for the longest, i was applying for b.m.r. rental, but i would be in the lottery and never be like 307 or 310. i pretty much had kind of given up on that, and had to leave san francisco. i found out about the san francisco mayor's office of housing about two or three years ago, and i originally did home counseling with someone, but then, my certificate expired, and one of my friends jamie, she was actually interested in purchasing a unit. i told her about the housing program, the mayor's office, and i told her hey, you've got to do the six hour counseling and the 12 hour training. she said no, i want you to go with me. and then, the very next day
11:36 pm
that i went to the session, i notice this unit at 616 harrison became available, b.m.i. i was like wow, this could potentially work. housing purchases through the b.m.r. program with the sf mayor's office of housing, they are all lotteries, and for this one, i did win the lottery. there were three people that applied, and they pulled my number first. i won, despite the luck i'd had with the program in the last couple years. things are finally breaking my way. when i first saw the unit, even though i knew it was less than ideal conditions, and it was very junky, i could see what this place could be. it's slowly beginning to feel like home. i can definitely -- you know, once i got it painted and slowly getting my custom furniture to fit this unit because it's a specialized unit, and all the units are microinterms of being very
11:37 pm
small. this unit in terms of adaptive, in terms of having a murphy bed, using the walls and ceiling, getting as much space as i can. it's slowly becoming home for me. it is great that san francisco has this program to address, let's say, the housing crisis that exists here in the bay area. it will slowly become home, and i am appreciative that it is a bright spot in an otherwise >> greetings, everyone. thank you for being here for grand opening of the minna lee. this is 50 new units of permanent supportive housing of the 1300 units that we have in our pipeline. [applause]
11:38 pm
i want to thank the mayor for her leadership in ensuring that we have a robust housing pipeline, permanent supportive housing pipeline for people experiencing homelessness. as i said, we have 1300 more units that we'll be opening in the coming years and before we officially get started and hear from the mayor, i just want to say a few thank yous. thank you to the owners of the building who worked with us so hard to master lease the site. [applause] and folks from the departments of real estate for their work in making the lease happen. thank you all very much. [applause] and, of course, staff from the department of homelessness and supportive housing, i want to thank nina and her staff for making this building happen and all the other staff and grace and margo for helping the tenants rent up. by the way, there is a 50-unit building and even though today is our grand opening, we have 48 residents living here. that will be fully rented out next week.
11:39 pm
[applause] and i just want to also a special shout-out to nina because many people tried to make this happen. i wanted to rename is building the nina lee but she gets mad when i say that. [laughter] and i wanded to see her make that face. of course, ours nonprofit partners, dish and e.c.s. for operating the building. [applause] and most of all, our new residents. the new members of our community who are living in this building, who will be part of this community and part of this neighborhood and will help make both the building and the neighborhood a better place to live. thank you all to the residents who are here today. let's hear it for the residents again. [applause] ok. and without further ado, it is my great honor to introduce mayor london breed. thank you. >> wow.
11:40 pm
50 new, affordable housing units in san francisco. this is going to mean a lot for 50 residents. [applause] people who, sadly, have been struggling with homelessness right here on our streets in this city. and we know that although this is amazing for the 48 people who have already moved in to minna lee, we know that there are still more work to do for so many more people who need housing. today is a celebration. it is an opportunity to just shine a light on the fact that it takes a village. it takes a village to create an opportunity like this. to make sure that we not only renovated this building, that we find the funding to do so, but more importantly, that we make this place a home for the people who are moving in. and making sure that they have the support, and many of your
11:41 pm
programs, to be successful. al sex here today and i know you will be hearing from him, one of the new residents of this complex. alex had a lot of challenges. he will tell us a little bit about what those challenges were. sadly living on our streets, feeling hopeless, feeling like no one cared. and here he is, one of the residents at, many inna lee who is going to come before us and tell us his story. let's give alex a hand. [applause] many of you know that my top priority as mayor is addressing this homeless crises. grew up in the city. i grew up in public housing. and the conditions of where i lived were not very comfortable. the busted pipes. the violence. the challenges in the neighborhood. the feeling that nobody cared
11:42 pm
was just normal life for me. but i had a roof over my head. i had a grandmother who raised me and who cared about me. i had her support and it meant everything for my success. and that is what housing has to be about. not just providing a place for people to stay and to be housed, but opening the door to opportunity so that not only can they get the housing that they need, but they can be successful and hold on to that housing. one person at a time. making sure that we make the right kinds of investments in places like minna lee for the purposes of supporting our community who needs it the most. this is a new way of doing housing here in san francisco. we have actually, in our inventory, have over 7500 units of supportive housing and we
11:43 pm
have 1300 units in the pipeline. that is to, again, help people get housed and keep them housed and make sure they have the housing they need to be successful. i want to take this opportunity because it does take a village to make sure that this happens and a fierce champion with a homeless outreach team and who deals with several text messages a day from me asking for help who i know need help. the department of homelessness -- [applause] you know what i love about jeff is every time i text him about somebody i want him to help, he actually, in most cases, he knows their names. he knows theirs stories. he knows whats going on with the situation and why something so difficult. and that is exactly what we need to address each of these
11:44 pm
unique situations that some people are struggling with. so i'm really grateful for his service and the work that he's done. of course i want to thank the department of real estate. i want to thank the department of building inspection for moving faster than they typically do to get this project done. the department of public works. the city attorney's office and everyone, the nonprofit partners who have assisted the episcopal community services, which is operating this facility. and delivering innovative, supportive housing, which is managing the property. thank you to dish and others who are going to be a part of making sure that this property is successful and the residents who live here. so thank you all so much. and we know that the solutions to addressing our crises is making sure that we build more housing and provide opportunity, we provide the support and we work together to
11:45 pm
deliver projects sooner rather than later like minna lee. congratulations on this major accomplishment and thank you all so much for being here today. [applause] >> thank you very much, madame mayor. now it is my honor to bring up beth stokes, the executive director of the episcopal community services. [applause] >> thank you, jeff. and thank you, mayor breed, for your leadership and continued focus. on solutions to ending chronic homelessness such as the minna lee. i want to echo something that the mayor just said, that this today is a celebration. it reallile is a celebration of ms. folks coming together and i'm going to be brief and thank a few folks. the minna lee is a celebration of 50 more solutions. in our collective effort toward ending chronic homelessness in san francisco. and that is something to
