1:00 pm
department on revising policies and procedures to address them. >> thank you. >> will we get a memo on that? >> it is a two-prong thing. the department will tell us how to move forward in the future and give us a presentation so the public can see it and an internal memo, confidential memo -- >> with respect to police officer records specifically. >> and then the second thing i want to do, i brought it up at the time last week when we revised the agenda. the chief's agenda and a brief description of significant incidences. i would like to discuss with the city attorney and discuss with the whole commission that maybe we have a catch-all kind of phrase here and if it's a significant incident that we have the ability to have a larger discussion if it is something that happened, like a mass shooting on a tuesday and we meet on a wednesday, i don't want to ask you where, when, how and lever it alone. it would be incumbent upon us to have some type of discussion. i don't know if that is possible, but talk about a
1:01 pm
phrase that works for us as well. test relevant, significant, something that is really important, not just anything we want to discuss because i understand we can't do that. but i don't -- the idea that we are limited to determine whether we want to calendar it, i don't know if that goes over on a major incident. wanted to put that out there. >> will that be calendared for november 7? >> let's meet with the city attorney and fe if there is any way to phrase something like that so it's limited to something that is incredibly significant versus anything we want to discuss. >> a commissioner taylor. >> going off what vice president mazucco just talked about, our city is becoming more and more notorious for being unsafe and dangerously unsanitary. when i think about that, i think about our children literally who are kind of having to navigate the streets that are unsafe for us as adults, much less little
1:02 pm
feet. so i also would like to know what we are doing and i can think in my mind of playgrounds that are notoriously hotbeds for drug activity and really dangerous conditions. what we're doing to help keep our kids safe here. and in dealing with this opioid crisis and just the crisis and the drug crisis in general in san francisco. how we're -- how we're addressing the needs in particular of our smallest citizens. >> thank you. anything further, commissioners? >> the public is now invited to come up and comment on items pertaining to agenda lines 1a through 1d. >> good evening. my name is john jones. i am deplorable. chief scott's report is typical of police chief reports that i
1:03 pm
have witnessed before this commission for years. it is uninformative. he reads a z if he is reading from crib notes. tells us little or nothing about the state of the city. and what's missing from his report is what some of the commissioners here have commented on. the fact that the city and county of san francisco is a laughing stock. it is the locusts of property -- it is the locus of property crime in the united states and hard to walk around downtown without seeing ongoing evidence of social decay. when i criticize chief scott for is not saying something about it, but what i want to tell you is, that's not something the police department can do anything about. poli police departments are -- but
1:04 pm
aside from doing that, police departments are by and large useless. you are on the losing end of a culture war. the people lie around in the streets who consume heroin are the casualties of that war. and what i don't hear from this commission is a recognition of your own impotency and the impotence of the police department. that is not a criticism. that is not a putdown. but the tools that you have, well trained people, well paid people, with guns is not the tool to deal with it. >> thank you. next speaker. >> i want to comment on the kind of piggybacking off what he said about the homicides are down and
1:05 pm
this has been said every year since i have been coming here that the homicides are down and they are doing this and doing things to gun buybacks and all this, and the unsolved homicides. people are still suffering. people are still -- what about the people walking around with bullets in them? they're just not dead. and we were talking about police-involved shootings. both people, the community and police, they're both getting away with the murders. what are we going to do about the unsolved homicides? nothing is done. one gunshot is too many. so something needs to be done instead of every year i am hearing this from every new police chief that things are down and things are getting better. it's not getting better. parents like myself are still
1:06 pm
suffering. you talk about people coming forth and they are suffering from post trau trau t maic stress disorder, so if you can solve a homicide without a body, how come you can't solve our homicides, people of color? this is appalling that this happening and the same thing is said every year from different people on the panel and different police chiefs. the same things are being said. and i'm tired of that, too. i'm going to come here every year talking about my son and keep saying we need the community involvement. we need the community involvement. something else needs to be done. thank you. >> thank you, ms. brown. any further public comment on the line items? please come forward. good evening.
1:07 pm
>> hi. i got some things for you. >> give them to sergeant ware. thank you. >> it is regarding the community engagement. and so my name is kelly cutler a human rights organizer with the coalition on homelessness and we presented here about the criminalization of homelessness and the impact that it's having on people. and the board seemed to agree about the recommendations, but then since that time, spfd even to they requested to work with the coalition on this and community partners to reform 311 and 911, this hasn't been happening. and the big thing i really want to draw your attention to is ashock. healthy treat operations center. this is a coordinated effort to respond to homelessness in our city. makes sense. that would be a good thing for a coordinated effort in theory, but we don't have the resources.
1:08 pm
we have over 1,000 people on the single shelter wait list and the average wait list for a family with children is 111 days. what we have now is the command center and h.s.a. and the housing department, the homeless department, has had such extremely minimal role within this because we don't have the resources. we have seen a massive increase in enforcement and traumatizing people and taking narcan and h.i.v. medication and doctors working on the street where they have done a sweep and someone overdosed and they didn't have narcan and the person died. that is one example. the packet i gave you is a presentation that was done at the local coordinating board which i sit on and we can explain more about that and the article about that one as well.
1:09 pm
there's been no transparency, no communication -- i am on the sfpd advisory board. >> thank you for everything you do. it's actually greatly appreciated. obviously there is a need for -- there is frustrations on both sides. we will have to find a middle ground. appreciate you working with us. that is right. thank you. go ahead, commissioner. >> ms. cutler, may i ask one question. i'm sorry. i was trying to read and listen. when you said there is no transparency, i am not sure what part. >> i had to rush in the packet is a 15-minute. >> public comment is now closed, but respond to that question. >> there is a 15-minute presentation at the local coordinating board last monday. week ago monday. so we have been meeting here and it is within the packet where we have done the spfd homeless advisory board, but then 3% of the advisory board meetings have been cancelled. and another 10% have been
1:10 pm
rescheduled without actually community input and just rescheduled. and also there was no mention or discussion of hshock and then it appeared. there's been no discussion or transparency of policy, no community involvement. and i am on -- >> with hsock. and the lead is commander lazar, the policy is in response to homelessness. >> thank you. >> thank you so much. >> please call the next item. i apologize. i broke the rule there is. line number two. >> approval of the awards committee recommendations from the awards committee meeting of june 19, 2018, recognize members of the department for their actions in the line of duty. action. >> members of the commission, commissioner, this is approval of the awards committee. i was the commissioner who sat in on these awards. and again, it is for those of you who have done it before and those who will do it in the future, it is pretty incredible
1:11 pm
process. what happens is the commanding officers write the officers up for an award of valor. and there is a presentation done by the commanding officer. and then the officers are asked questions by the entire command staff. only people allowed in the room are the rank of captain and above and the police commission secretary and one commissioner. and there is a thorough vetting. a lot of questions asked. and at the end of the day, then the committee votes by using colored marbles. gold for gold. white for silver. and bronze for bronze. and then there is black for police commissioner commendation and blue for meritorious conduct. and this goes through and count and the majority of the votes and one marble to get that. very few gold medals are ever given. they are rare but there are some here. and so we went through that process. i had the honor of being there for this process. and we were there for about six
1:12 pm
hours, if i'm not mistaken. these are the folks and commissioner de jesus chatted earlier and i chatted with the act acting director of the d.p.a. we have a department general order 3.09 which dealing with vetting these award. i have gone through and there are certain criteria we have and if these officers that are present in front of you today, they meet the criteria, do not have any pending investigations or charges based upon what i have been told, and we did move one over because of that. we have done the vetting and so if there's any questions, feel free to ask myself or the chief. chief was present for the entire event. and after that i move to accept. any questions? >> is it possible to provide -- i don't know if like a summary of the conduct that led to the award as part of this report or packet? i think it's helpful for the public to know what our officers
1:13 pm
go through and what they see and some of the conduct that underlying the awards. >> whats a going to happen is the public is going to know because once we approve these, we are going to set the awards presentation and at that presentation, the very same presentation that the captain made on behalf of his or her officers will be made at that presentation. so the public will be present and hear exactly what the officers went through and what they did. so it will be done then and it's actually going to be a long one, this one, because there are several incidents that have come forward. so the public will know. in fact, dr. marshall has asked it be televised, so the public does know and it will be televised if i am not mistaken. >> right. i would guess that most people can't make it there. and view these. i think it would be helpful to have some way -- it could be distributed so people could understand. >> actually, that is a great idea.
1:14 pm
maybe we can talk to david stevenson and see if we can get this out. again, this was numerous incidents and incredible valor. and the officers very proud about where this department has come in the last, you know, eight, nine years. it is amazing. and that will be done, but that's where it is. >> thank you. >> okay. >> anything further? do i have a motion to accept? >> so moved. >> do i have a second? >> second. >> any public comment regarding the medals of valor? hearing none, public comment is now closed. all in favor? aye. passed unanimously. thank you. please call the next line item. >> number 3, general public comment. the public is welcome to address the commission on items that do not appear on the agenda but within the subject matter and jurisdiction of the commission. speaker wills address the commissioner as a whole and not
1:15 pm
to individual commission, department, or d.p.a. personnel. under the rules of order during public comment, neither police nor d.p.a. personnel nor commissioners are required to respond to questions presented by the public but may provide a brief response. individual commissioners and police and d.p.a. personnel should refrain, however, from entering into any debates or discussions on speakers during public comment. >> thank you. now time for public comment. perfect timing, ace. >> ahh, thank you, jesus. looky, looky here. two minutes. can i do this? i am trained. first of all, i wanted to present something to you in official way, chief. this is the juneteenth festival. and i see you in the picture wearing brown, and let me tell you what is really going down. there we go.
1:16 pm
trying to tell y'all. now you done seen it all. anyway, i am just here passing through making my announcement and i'm back at city hall, y'all, down in the press room. representing the black media. and i have to read papers. the population is down to, what, under 3, whatever, so i am here after 10 years. i'm back. thank god. and thank my persistence that kept me driving for my community. and now there's a lot of issues we must go on. first of all, the new commissioners welcome to city hall. i call it silly hall, but see if we can change that. and all you new commissioners that i don't know and the ones that i do know for a while -- hello. and the tv audience because i can't see you. i'm responsible for san francisco building the channel, the san francisco government channel. i don't want no credit.
1:17 pm
i rater have crash, but i started the tv that you are looking at. it's peg now, public access government channel. and the government channel. and i am working like trump did. i know how to work this thing. and through the difference and the billionaire, but i'm a black man. he in the city by the bay. we're going to put it back on the map. we going to make history with london breed. we come from the same community. we going to put the feel back in the mo. oh, don't you know. and i want to invite you all to watch my brand-new show called this week at city hall, y'all. that's all. >> thank you, ace. >> mr. jones, you are next. >> all right. thanks, ace. mr. jones, you are on the air.
1:18 pm
>> my name is john jones. and i am deplorable. i wanted to -- go back to my point about losing the culture war. and the impotence of the police department in dealing with that. what i encourage and i know you are not supposed to talk to people individually, but i would encourage police department and members of this commission to tell other members of the political branches in the city that the police department is not the agency with which to deal with the cultural war and the detrius of the newspapers comment on all the time. san francisco and the popular press is a laughingstock. it's not your fault. it's not the fault of the board of supervisors. it's not the fault of london breed or gavin newsome. we are the losing end of a
1:19 pm
culture war, which is insulting our sensitivities daily. and the people you step over on the street, the people defecating in the street, the people dropping needles on the playgrounds, those are the victims of the culture war. they didn't go to high school doing that. i ask myself when i see them, what were you like in the fifth grade? did the coach ever grab you and say, hey, u you would make a great guard? how did thatment codown in their lives? -- how did that come down in their lives? so what i would like to encourage members, the people on the dais to do, is to tell your political pa political masters that the ball is in their court. they will turn around and say, no, you have the guns, go out and i a rest them. don't stand for that. even if it means your jobs. thank you. >> thank you, mr. jones. ms. brown.
1:20 pm
>> good evening again. i would like to use the overhead as usual. concerning my son who was murdered august 14, 2006. still to this day his homicide isn't solved. i did speak with my investigator the day before yesterday or yesterday. and he's kind of saying the same thing. we're supposed to -- there is some things he was supposed to do, but i have no qualms about his family, but he said he is going to his son's wedding and going to this and going to that. and even though his son is awe live, my son is dead, i still have the same feelings and if my son was alive. so i mean, i need to hear something more than you going on a trip. and we talked about that. we don't know who killed and we
1:21 pm
need the community to find out who killed them. you have mayor gavin newsome saying we know who killed the son. i know who killed her son. the police know who killed her son. so if you know all of this, then how come the community don't know? he even know and he wasn't there. so why isn't my son's case solved? he said we can name names, addresses. he helped gavin newsome had the name. you guys have all these names. they're still walking the street to kill again. my son, this is what i am left with of my son. my son had a father. this was a two-parent family. i have nowhere to put this thing that where are you when i was murdered? we need a venue for our children. this is what they left me with. i bring this because i need you

1:25 pm
>> the teams really, really went above and beyond and is continuing to do that today. this past year, the san francisco public utilities commission water quality division started receiving many more requests to test for lead in the public school system here in san francisco as a result of legislation that had passed from the state requiring all of the public schools to do lead testing. and so as a result, the public
1:26 pm
utilities commission and the water quality team in particular was asked to meet with the san francisco unified school district to begin to prioritize which schools to test to meet that state mandate. >> the team that tests, we're a full service environmental laboratory, and we take care of both the needs of the water quality division and the waste water enter price. and on the water quality enterprise, we have to also have drinking water that meets all federal and state quality regulations. and lead in schools, we're playing a problem in remediating this problem of lead in schools. >> our role here in communications is being able to take the data that we have that we know is protective of public health and safety and transmit it, give it to the public in a way they understand we are really doing our jobs well and making sure that they are safe always. >> the public learned very
1:27 pm
quickly all the accurate facts and all the critical information that they needed to know, and it's up to these individuals and their agencies and their commitment to the city. >> i enjoy the work because i can help people, and i can help the utilities to provide a better water quality, make sure that people feel that drinking hetch hetchy water is actually a pride. >> hats off to the water quality team because between them working on late nights, working on the weekends when the schools are closed, and working as a partner in the school district for the times they found a higher lead sample, they worked through to address that, so the team went above and beyond and is continuing to do that today.
1:28 pm
>> when i open up the paper every day, i'm just amazed at how many different environmental issues keep popping up. when i think about what planet i want to leave for my children and other generations, i think about what kind of contribution i can make on a personal level to the environment. >> it was really easy to sign up for the program. i just went online to cleanpowersf.org, i signed up and then started getting pieces in the mail letting me know i was going switch over and poof it happened. now when i want to pay my bill, i go to pg&e and i don't see any difference in paying now. if you're a family on the
1:29 pm
budget, if you sign up for the regular green program, it's not going to change your bill at all. you can sign up online or call. you'll have the peace of mind knowing you're doing your part in your household to help the environment. [ gavel ].
1:30 pm
1:31 pm
1:32 pm
1:33 pm
1:34 pm
1:35 pm
>> all right. everybody welcome to our land use and transport committee meeting october 15, 2018. my name is katey tang, and i am the chair of this committee. to my left is supervisor ahsha
1:36 pm
safai, and i believe supervisor fewer is on her way. madam clerk, do we have any [agenda item read] >> supervisor tang: thank you very much. can we please call item one. >> item one is an resolution establishing new -- [inaudible] >> -- and establishment of new sidewalks authorizing real property transfers and waiving provisions of administrative code chapter 23. >> supervisor tang: thank you. we have brad benson here from the port. >> good afternoon, chair tang, supervisor safai. brad benson representing port director elaine forbes on behalf of the pier 70 project team.
1:37 pm
today, we're talking about an implementation step for the buildout of pier 70 that was envisioned at part of your project approvals last fall for the pier 70 28-acre site and the 35 acre special use district. so this represents -- this slide represents the 35 acre special use district at pier 70. what is shown in -- outlined in red is the 28 acre site that will be developed by a subsidiary of forest city. we're here today about the box in blue which is the future parcel, one of the first sites that will be sold for market rate housing development at pier 70, and it generates much needed proceeds to pay for project entitlement costs.
1:38 pm
specifically, we're here today to vacate a 12-foot strip, excess strip of michigan street, which would remove the street designation, allow for a larger development parcel and pave the way for a new street and sidewalk. so on left, before the straeet vacation, we have an extra wide michigan street, which will be a one block straight with parcel k on one side and a historic core on the right. after the street vacation and a subsequent action by the board to approve a transfer map, michigan street will be narrowed. part of it will be conjoined with parcel k north through the transfer map, and part of it will be added to the historic core. there's actually a historic building that encroaches a
1:39 pm
little bit out in the street today. following -- if this committee recommends the street ordinance and the board approves it, after that action, a final transfer map would come to the board of supervisors for your approval, and then sale of parcel k north for market rate housing development will also come to the board of supervisors for your consideration. so we're at october 15. in december, the street vacation ordinance would become effective. in january , the board of supervisors would consider the parcel k north transaction, and in february , the transaction would close. and with that, concludes my presentation. i'm here to answer any questions you may have. >> supervisor tang: thank you, mr. benson. the diagrams were very helpful, and colleagues, any questions or comments? okay? no? seeing none, then we're going to
1:40 pm
open up item one to public comment. any members of the public who wish to speak on this item? okay. seeing none, public comment is closed. colleagues, can we get a motion on item one? okay. so we'll move it forward to the full board with a positive recommendation without objection. item 2 [agenda item read] >> supervisor tang: thank you. we have representatives from the p.u.c. here today, i believe. >> good afternoon, supervisors. i'm jamie sidell. i believe you have my presentation in your packet. i can go through it if you'd like me to or jump to questions tappi . >> supervisor tang: sure. why don't you go through the presentation. thank you. >> so the way it is now, sfpuc
1:41 pm
has owned solar generation, and we have over three megawaits throughout the city, 23 project locations, and all of those systems have interconnections agreements with pg&e in order to energyize the system and to connect to their grid. the board has historically approved those agreements, and we were given ongoing authority to enter into those agreements. form 79973 with pg&e with ordinary unanimo ordinance 14414 several years ago. and so needs have changed for us. there are two main items that have changed. one, our customers are starting to install their own solar generation as a result of the better roof ordinance. and additionally, sfpuc is operating under a different agreement with pg&e under the
1:42 pm
wholesale distribution tariff. so we're coming here today, asking for authority to sign two different agreements with pg&e under the customer owns solar generation. there'll be two different forms. one for our customer to sign, form 79988, and then, a form that p.u.c. would sign, the customer generation agreement, 79992. and in addition to that, we're asking for authority to sign the whole sale distribution tariff agreements for our own solar generation, and we have several upcoming projects that would fall underneath that with a high school and opera house. let me see... so that's basically it. let me know if you have any questions. >> supervisor tang: thank you. and i know that the other piece of legislation -- i think we
1:43 pm
might have -- i don't know if you just touched upon it or if it was skipped over very quickly, but just the delegation of authority to the other departments, do you want to explain that? >> yes. so in addition -- so additional departments we expect installing their own solar over the next few years, so rec and park, police department, airport, various other departments, we expect to install their own solar, so they would need to sign the same agreements. so the first test case would be sfmta, where they have a system coming on-line shortly. >> supervisor tang: okay. so -- all right. so just to confirm, we are delegating our board of supervisors's authority under the charter to allow the m.t.a., p.u.c. and other departmented to enter into agreements with pg&e to exceed ten years. and i have seen this type of waiver frequently before, but just to point it out that we are
1:44 pm
waiving some of the competitive bidding, first-source hiring and some other requirements, just given that they are not feasible. >> yeah, i guess they wouldn't apply since they're not competitively bid, the projects. >> supervisor tang: okay. so -- all right, colleagues, do we have any questions, comments on this item? okay. thank you. seeing none, then we'll go to public comment on item 2. any members of the public who'd like to speak on this item, please come on up. okay. seeing none, public comment is closed. [ gavel ]. >> supervisor tang: all right. colleagues, any recommendation for item 2? [inaudible] >> supervisor tang: okay. and we'll do that without objection. [ gavel ]. >> supervisor tang: thank you very much. item three please. >>clerk: item number three is an ordinance amending ordinance number 1061 entitled regulating the width of sidewalks to change the official sidewalk width of certain locations fronting assessor's parcel block number 3718 and adopting and affirming
1:45 pm
appropriate findings. >> supervisor tang: thank you. i'll turn it over to sponsor supervisor kim. >> supervisor kim: thank you so much. this is actually just a simple work item -- trying to find it. my apologies. i actually don't have my points before me, but this is a request of the project sponsor at 250 howard, and it's just to cleanup language around the sidewalk with changes. sorry. i don't have the actual notes in front of me. from my understanding in reading it, just improving pedestrian safety in midblock, pedestrian access for this project, and
1:46 pm
it's part of the transit center district plan. >> yeah. the project is 250 park street howard tower. it memorializes the portions of main street, beale, and mission street, and parts of the streets will be widened, except for mission, which will remain the current width. this is an ordinance that our office has been working on with the:00 john buck company to widen the sidewalk and get the traffic back to normal and get tenants back into the building. they submitted their sidewalk legislation in september 2015 and received an at-risk street improvement permit application on may 9, 2017, so it's been about three years that this project has been waiting to get their sidewalk legislation approved. they're also going to get their temporary certificates of occupancy on october 24, 2018.
1:47 pm
we do have allison owens here who is representing the project sponsor if you have any questions for the john buck company. >> supervisor tang: okay. thank you, supervisor kim. colleagues, any questions, comments? seems pretty straightforward to me. okay. let's open it up to public comment. any members of the public wishing to speak? seeing none, public is close the. >> supervisor tang: colleagues, any motion for item three? >> supervisor kim: i move to move item three to the full board with a positive recommendation. >> supervisor tang: okay. we can do that without objection. [ gavel ]. >> supervisor tang: okay. next item, pleasitems 4 and 5, [agenda item read] [agenda item read]
1:48 pm
>> supervisor tang: thank you. i believe we have philip wong here from the office of economic and workforce development. >> good afternoon, supervisors. i would like to invite sophia keller from president cohen's office to introduce an amendment for your consideration. >> supervisor tang: would you like to talk about the items first before the amendment in general? >> yes. apologies for that, chair tang. what we have before you, supervisors, today, is consideration of a major street vacation that would allow for start of construction of this 50-acre public housing revitalization project in may of next year. i think when we have the presentation, we'll go over some of the main objectives and public benefits of the legislation, and then, i'm going
1:49 pm
to allow ramy dehr, the housing development lead from the codevelopment team, mercy housing, to go into more detail with the project site and also the intent of the legislation. and then, of course, representatives from public works, the mayor's office of housing and community development and myself representing the office of economic and workforce development are available for any questions that may arise. >> supervisor tang: thank you very much. >> thank you, chair tang, supervisors safai and kim. i'm here today on president cohen's behalf as the or of this legislation. this is a necessary street vacation that will allow us to move forwato -- president cohen introduced this resolution and the ordinance before you last month, on september 4, and today we seek your authorization that
1:50 pm
memorializes a future s.f. public utilities action that they're meeting which will allow for public utility easements to be determined surplus and vacated, and following that, staff will be available to answer any questions. these are for the colleagues. thank you. >> good afternoon. my name is remy dare, and i'm have mercy housing california, representing the development team. i'm going to give you a quick presentation. just to refresh your memories, sunnydale hope s.f. is the existing revitalization of the housing site into a new development with all new housing, 17 -- over 1700 units of affordable and moderate income housing, 60% of which are affordable, including
1:51 pm
replacement units for existing households. the other public benefits of this development will be that we'll be creating an all new utility and street infrastructure grid, new services to serve the community, and 30,000 square feet of neighborhood space and mixed use buildings. we started our first building the master development plan in january on an infill site that we purchased across the street from the development, and we are now in predevelopment and permitting for block six, affordable housing development and the associated infrastructure of five acres. we are hoping to start the construction of the infrastructure portion next spring, spring-summer and then follow that immediately with the construction of block six. so we are requesting the board of supervisors' approval for a master street vacation ordinance that would allow us to come at this time in the next couple months for one-time board of
1:52 pm
supervisors' approval to vacate all existing rights of way within the sunnydale master plan development area and then as we embark on the phases of development, the d.p.w. director would be authorized to review each phase of development and allow us to enact the vacation of those rights of way within those phases. the conditions that we would have to meet would be reviewed by the d.p.w. director. we're also seeking the city's authority to allow for the necessary conveyance of those vacated rights of way to the san francisco housing authority so that the housing authority can then execute long-term -- short-term or long-term leases for us to be able to develop those sites with infrastructure housing or community benefits. there is also something that would allow us to have sfpuc
1:53 pm
maintain existing public utility easements so this would give us new time to build infrastructure, allow the city to test that infrastructure while we're still operating the existing infrastructure in the rights of way, and then those older utilities would be abandoned after the new infrastructure's accepted. so on the left diagram, you can see how we have divided the development site into phases and how the master street vacation ordinance would allow us to get a one-time approval and then come back through the city d.p.w. director to obtain approval for vacating rights of way according to these phases. on the right side, you see a diagram that shows how there will be all new streets, realignment and street grid overlayed on top of the existing site. so the schedule that we are here today for the committee's approval, and then we're intending to go to the board of supervisors next week for the
1:54 pm
resolution of intent. we will go to the sfpuc commission for approval in december, and then come back to the committee in january and finish the process through the board of supervisors in january . we're available to answer any questions. >> supervisor tang: thank you very much. colleagues, any questions or comments? >> supervisor kim: i'm sorry. could you just go back -- >> supervisor tang: i'm sorry. that was my question, the expected timeline on sunnydale hope sf. >> this was the other legislation wher legislation where we're asking -- we bought a site across the street. it's on the corner of handwritthahy and sunnydale. we're targeting to complete that in august of next year. we are currently working on the design and permitting of the next phase, which, on this diagram, is the kind of red and then, the green above that, we
1:55 pm
actually combined two subphases into one phase, so that is our block six affordable development, and the five acres of infrastructure. and so we're actually working with the housing authority to vacate that area of existing residence. those recess dents are moving to other vacancies within sunnydale right now. we're hoping to create a site by the end of november , beginning of december, and then conduct the building demolition in that area and then follow that with -- in may, following that with actual new construction of street and utility infrastructure. we'll be back before the board of supervisors for that public approval agreement and others like map actions for that phase. so we'll be able to start that construction in may, and then follow that with a vertical block six construction in august of 2019. >> supervisor tang: and what is the expected completion date for the vertical construction of
1:56 pm
block six? >> february 2021. it's a large development. >> supervisor tang: oh, wow. wow -- so -- and during that time period -- sorry. this is a project i'm not as familiar with. between 2019 and 2021, those residents will be at alternate units for about -- >> right. they will continue to live in the current vacancies in sunnydale, and then, we've organized the sites into groups so figure out who would move into parcel q and the unit in block six. >> and six is the -- >> block six is 1 00% affordabl, and it'll be primarily replacement units for sunnydale households, and then, there'll be some general, as well parcel
1:57 pm
q is 55 units in toting and block six is 167 units in total. >> supervisor tang: and then, the site you said was mixed income. >> sorry. i think i spoke too fast. the whole development is mixed income. the way we designed our blocks, we have 14 affordable units or 14 affordable blocks. so when we say affordable, your typical tax credit affordable. and then, the next block, next door, might be a moderate income development that would be developed by another developer, but we would assist the housing authority in identifying those developers. >> supervisor tang: when you say moderate income, what do you -- >> what's the range? we haven't done a study in a little bit, but could range
1:58 pm
anywhere from 60% to 120 or 130% a.m.i. we would need to figure that out with the city. >> supervisor tang: and there will be some market rate units here, as well. >> right. >> supervisor tang: and when will that get phased in? >> we actually -- probably see it a little bit on the diagram on the left there to the right of the red area. there is going to be a market rate or moderate -- >> supervisor tang: ask sfgovtv -- >> if you look on the right side, that's half of our first development phase. so the right of it, you'll see a small rectangle. that's a new site that's going to be created through the segment of blythedale, and that will be a moderate income site that will have frontage on hahn street, and we think that'll support about eight units.
1:59 pm
>> supervisor tang: only eight? >> yeah, because this is a small infill site. >> supervisor tang: oh, is it's that -- oh, it's very tiny. >> yeah. that's our very first market rate site. >> supervisor tang: so when you say 60% affordable, you mean, throughout the entire project. where is the 40% that will be unrestricted? >> it'll be located in different blocks, so the majority of the blocks actually -- so if you look at the diagram on the right side, it's a little hard to see, but you can start to see some of the outlines of the new housing blocks. so 14 of those -- i should say 13 of those are affordable, and then, the rest -- then there are four open space blocks and one community center blocks, and the rest are the market race-moderate income blocks. >> supervisor tang: and how many is that and where are they located? >> i don't have a diagram here, but we've tried to intersperse
2:00 pm
them throughout the site. >> supervisor tang: because the basic concept of hope which started in chicago was to actually have market rate, moderate and low-income units together. my understanding in chicago is they were mixed within the same buildings. >> right. so we're not able to do that here in california because of the tax credit program structure. >> supervisor tang: oh, the tax credit structure is different here than in illinois. >> right. >> supervisor tang: i'm just curious how it's different in the mix. like, if they can't be within the same building envelope, i'm curious to see how it would be mixed. when you say moderate income, there's income restrictions placed there? >> no, i'm sorry. it's just that we -- given the area, that we think it would be mad rate. >> supervisor tang: i think it's important that you state that those are moderat i
