that's why we're hoping that people will move quickly and make this happen. >> great. let's take a look. so, let's talk steel frames. tell me what we have going on here. >> well, we have a steel frame here. there are two of these and they go up to the lower floor and there is a beam that go across, basically a box that is much stiffer and stronger. ~ goes so that during the earthquake the upper floor will not collapse down on this story. it can be done in about two weeks' time. voila, you're done. easy. >> for more information on how to get your building earthquake ready, h

design and the tower in candle stick point. the first tower to be before you. it would yield 422 units of residential mixed use with some retail community space, etcetera. we're excited because this really starts to shape the community in candlestick. with that i'll turn it over for a presentation on the item. we have the development team here as well. >> good afternoon, chair bustos, members of the commission. director. i'm an assistant project manager in the hunters point shipyard and candlestick project area. i'll be doing the presentation for the schematic design for the candlestick north block 11a. i'll quickly review the agenda. the commission action will be what we're requesting today four

to act on. and then we'll go through the project description the bmr description and design team will also give a presentation. i'll briefly discuss the community benefits associate with the project and the conditions of approval and next steps. in considering the project, there are a few considerations in the commission actions and some of those are variances or exceptions to the des moines for development standards or what we call the d for d. those include the maximum building height, blank wall limits and a non-habitable projection dimension. in addition to approving the schematic designs.

it's part of the bay view point area and plans to include office space and community facilities and it includes a new park, open spaces and will served by new transit lines and infrastructure. in this map includes and identifies the blocks in candlestick that have been approved to date and those for future approval. to date, the competition has approved schematic designs for blocks 2a, 9a, block 8a or the international african market and

block 6a and ocii 100% affordable blocks at 10a and 11a. cpo3 where block is 11a is located would approved for design and is seeking aprobable for design and located next to blocks 2a and 10a north and ocii 100% affordable housing development. you can see the 100% affordable housing site. this project is a mixed-income home ownership project consisting of 422 residential units, 21 of which are below market rate and dispersed throughout the first 21 floors of the podium and tower. all the project amenities will be shared by all the residents.

the project will also have 4,000 square feet of community activity on the ground floor. and the bmr is at 80, 90, 100 and 120 percent. this is just a brief view of the unit distribution for the first 21 floors. now i'll turn it over to the design team to give you a specific and detailed look and information about the design of block 11a. i'll be back to discuss more of the other benefits associated with the project.

>> members the commission. i'm with five point and a want to first thank you for giving me the opportunity to introduce my design team. i had the honor and pleasure to present building 6, 8 and 9 and block two and it's an honor to create cpo3 and cpo4 for the residential section. i'll turn you over to the lead architect on it to walk you through the design. thank you.

>> brendan donovan and thank you for your time and we're really excited to be here today and present the project. this is the first tower in candlestick. it is going to be the new gaetd -- gateway into the city from the south and take that responsibility very seriously. we've had a number of meters with ocii and the successor agency and the agency and the design represents a lot of work of which i need to represent the number of people that are part of this project and on this slide you can see the names of the companies involved and those folks who have been asked to be here today. i'd lick our team members to

stand up and be recognized for the work they've done. these are the structural engineers, the landscape architects and my design team project manager over there and phil and lee and our m.a.p., and also our associate architect. we're super excited to have them here. the word architect is singular but the project is the work of a lot of folks so thank you. . on the next slide this is an overview of the side and just to understand what is going on around the site, this slide shows how along harney way the b.r.t. and the bike lane will be pock occupying the space

between the building and adjacent wedge park. below is the film art center in the cpo2 section and is this also noting where the sun angles are. the yellow indicates the way the pattern of the sun will be going around the sights. north is to the front of the page and to the south is ingerson and the passage which is a pedestrian only midblock. these are a vows of diagrams. the first which we began working on two years ago which was to understand the zoning for development and how to stay within the zoning and comply with it yet create the kind of

space we were hoping to create. so this first line is about the zoning envelope. then we get into the masting. it's limited to 12,000 square feet we wanted to set back the tower and create separate planes within the podium of the building. also at the ground floor, the retail is held back and the upper floors are held back and there be draet -- creating more sculpting of the massing and these are the terraces. there's a terrace at the lower section and the pedestrian terrace and then the sky terrace at the top. further accentuating and calling more architectural movement to

the building. and this is the view from harney. so in this presentation we'll be stepping around the tower at four different views from the four corners of the project looking at both the tower and the podium in context. we'll then come back to pedestrian views. the lower sections of the building, what we call the podium and we'll get into some of the materials and how we've r relegated and articulated that facade. so this is looking to the west. this is the view along harney way and the mid block break. you can see how the tower has

been sculpted at the top at the terrace and top and back. that is a screening element. and there's mechanical equipment up there which needs to be ventilated and cooling equipment and also equipment used to surface the equipment of the building and the element serves as an architectural element reducing the size and mags at the back. -- massing at the back. it works to our benefit to take what was a functional element and yet create some sculpting opportunity at the top of the building. as we go back to the north side and look back to the south we're moving in a counterclockwise fashion, we're looking back at

the corner of the mid block break and m street. here you can get a sense of how the tower top is reduced in its massing and the element defines the base, middle and the top. we take another view of the tower and this is down ingerson and you get a scale of the base and the tower. now we're starting to get down to a more pedestrian level. and we wanted to see what is in a successful neighborhood we could translate to this project looking at streets like chestnut or union or even in my neighborhood, i live in the richmond walking clement street, the rhythm of the retail is not

uniform. that is the richness of our neighborhoods. so breaking up this facade into various components was very important to us. so as you can read from left to right we have the elements which define are defined in white. below that is intended to be a restaurant and then a color that harkens back to the tower color. the center section. that is located just above where the community center is envisioned and another retail spot and then the pedestrian and here you can see where the lobby is accentuated by the component. it becomes not only terrace for

residents and it celebrates the opportunity that we'll experience walking into the lobby of our building. this is looking back down ingerson and you get a closer view of the window wall system looking down from the tower. we allow that material to get closer to the pedestrian realm. but also picking up on what will be more human scale are canopies that are different colors and heights creating this variety along this pedestrian experience. and then we move along again at the pedestrian realm. this is looking back along harnio way at -- harney way at the pedestrian perspective. we have the terrace which defines the entry to the lobby, the tower and then the podium

section. we took architectural license that breaks up the facade and we're excited about the accent color and what wore doing to bring it down to the ground level. as we move to the next image this is one of our favorite images and dramatic if you move from the top down it's the canopy of the roof and element of the stair and that brings down the color, our podium section and you can see how the color shows itself along the midblock break at various elements along the elevation of the mid block break.mid block break at various elements along the elevation of the mid block break. this is now looking at the mid block break. all the units and harney open at the ground level. there is no retail along that section.

this turns around to the neighborhood lobby and wanted it more neighborhood serving. it's a fantastic lobby and smaller in scale and back to the p pedestrian only mid block break and excited how m street worked out and down the perspective you can get a sense of the challenges on m street. it's the only street to bring utilities into the building that service the building, electrical, water, gas and the parking. you can see the center section that is the driveway and the pattern facade at the ground level. behind that are electrical

transformers, meters. all the things that make this building work and again this m street we're happy is turning it into a feature and neighborhood serving smaller scale lobby. this is a straight on view capturing some of the same articulation. the elements that come from harney along the mid block break but with a different rhythm architecturally and to the tower and almosts that help define the tower top, and offer mechanical screen on the back and on the right side of the tower stepping down is a series of sun shading elements. this helps further define, articulate and slenderize the

tower itself. and then the punctuation, the real architectural statement is the sky terrace. that is the element that really sets our building apart from looking at the south view. this is a night image and look at how it could be a beacon arriving from the city and how the tower would announce itself being the first tower out of candlestick. here's an idea of lighting elements at the top of the building and how the terraces also are lit. we brought a material board. it's over here against the wall if you care to come up and kick

the tires of some of the materials it is there. the elevation shows where the materials are located. we've called them out in the image and this is an exciting pedestrian active zone along ing ingerson with block 11a on the left and the ultimately the fine art cinema on the right. so active street and a wonderful new neighborhood. reflecting the wonderful neighborhoods of san francisco. that concludes my presentation. hopefully i've covered all the things one might have questions about but certainly here to answer any questions.

>> as i mentioned there are several community benefits associated with this project. we discussed the below market rate unit of which there are 21. the 4,000 square feet of community facility space on the ground floor and as with the other projects that have been approved in candlestick point there will be a 0.5% contribution of the sale of each market rate unit to the community benefits fund. and there's also the small business and workforce policy just 50% of contracts and 50% of the construction hours with --

will go to spes and to san francisco local workers and more about the small business and local workforce the 118 worked hard to meet ocii objectives through the professional services team selection achieving participation rate of 45.1%. with 45.5% of those firms being minority-owned firms and 1.8% being women-owned firms. as is standard with these types of approves there's a few design conditions with which the developer will continue to

refine or identify in the design development phase of the project these include compliance with the wind mitigation measures, black walls, materials and colors, and further study off the exterior details and community space locations. the developer has also committed to following the occupancy preferences for the project including early outreach and emphasis on certificate of preference holders. now i'd like to recap the requests for the variances beginning with the tower screening height. this variance request is to increase the tower screening height to accommodate the mechanical and roof-mounted

equipment. it would be an increase from 320 feet to 350 feet. and this is for an exception to the blank wall restriction. currently it allows for a maximum of 20% of the total facade of blank walls. in this case, the building is subject to other design restrictions on three other sides of the building. these include a b.r.t. or bus rapid transit line along harney street, the required for a pedestrian retail along ingerson avenue and retirement of active uses of a pedestrian nature along the mid block break and along with the uses and requirements have required the

need to increase in necessities on m street and the blank wall allowance. the final variance request for the non-habitable projection and i said it many times but saying it is difficult and request of the length of two balconies and a canopy that will protrude approximately 10 feet from the building space to avoid potentially hazardous wind conditions within the project area. the team present the schematic design at three meetings, one was a housing and sub-commitee meeting and a meeting for

housing in 2018 and the full meeting in 2018 and the six members present at the full 2018 meeting unanimously recommended the commission approve the schematic design as presented. ocii staff will continue to update the c.a.c. as the project progresses. and as a review of the action, requested today for your consideration authorizing an exception to the design for development standards for tower screening height to increase the maximum height limit from 320 to 350 feet. authorizing an exception to the design for development standards for blank wall restrictions to

increase the black wall limit from 20% of the total facade length to approximately 34% to accommodate the m street frontage. authorizing an exception to the design for development standards for non-habitable projection limits of 15 feet in length and three feet over to the property line it allow two canopies that protrude approximately 10 feet from the space as well as conditionally approving the schematic designs. with your approval today the team will move forward to complete the design and construction document. here's the anticipated schedule with the start of construction in 2022. and completion in 2024.

i'd like to take a quick moment to thank who worked dill againstly on the project to present you with a great design and background information required of the ocii design team and general council, aaron foxworthy and the five-point team. thank you. that concludes my presentation and we're all available for questions. thank you. >> commissioner: madame secretary do we have any speakers? >> clerk: we have one. oscar james.

>> thank you. it's always a pleasure to come and speak but it gives me great pleasure to speak on this project to support 100%. if i could support it more than that, i would. this brings back history to me. my grandfather filled most that in laying out there by candlestick. most of that was water . from gillman park we used to skid rocks out there. i have a whole history. i used to ride my bike out there. sometimes ride a stick horse with no head but i'm glad to see this project coming to fruition. i'm glad the african marketplace will be located around there. it's just a pleasure but i do have some problems with it even though they have 21% low income

housing. the next project i wish it had more than that. all in all, i support it 100% and i just want to thank five points and lenar and making sure the community benefit. you know a lot of times people sit up here and talk about the negative but i see a lot of positive out there. most of you weren't here when i used to fight lenar because i didn't know what their intentions was but they've proven themselves to me. and i'm a native resident. been here 73 years. and just do see this coming to be, a lot of people in my community was born and raised out there will welcome this wholeheartedly. thank you very much and keep up the good work. >> clerk: no more speakers. >> commissioner: is anyone else wishing to speak on this item?

please come forward. please state your name. >> good evening, commissioners. i'm gidria smith also a member of the c.a.c. thank you for allowing us to have the presentation and they did come out to the community where the community had the opportunity to speak and say whatever they wanted to say at that time. again, we want to thank five points and lenar for all their support and ask your support for this to go ahead and move forward. this is something we're excited about. this is something that's going to bring jobs to the community again where they can transfer out of one job and others in the community to go ahead and move forward into this job opportunity. we're asking from the community part for your support for this to move forward to the next phase. thank you.

>> commissioner: thank you. anyone else wishing to speak? hearing none, seeing none. [gavel] >> hi, good afternoon. i'm dr. honeycut the c.a.c. from the shipyard and i'm always happy to see you. this say beautiful design and well thought out and i love the community benefits. beautiful d well thought out and i love the community benefits. beautiful dl thought out and i love the community benefits. beautiful d thought out and i love the community benefits.i beautiful l thought out and i love the community benefits.s beautiful well thought out and i love the community benefits. beautiful d well thought out and i love the community benefits.a beautiful well thought out and i love the community benefits. i love 50% of the construction will be awarded to qualified bayview hunters point residents getting the community involved in the building of this marvelous creation. i'm delighted to see the e.m.i.

spread across the middle-income and low-income folks. people will talk about everything going to low-income folks and five different types are being pressed out of san francisco and we need to accommodate everyone is my point. i particularly like the 0.5% of the sales building to the community benefits fund which is called exactly that. but which we in the community know as the legacy fund. as chair of the legacy fund, when we have more money, we can do more. we're getting ready through the work of ocii to put out a scholarship to award $500,000 in college scholarships to residents in the community.

that's huge. there's educational opportunities for folks. so we urge you to vote yes in terms of your commission actions and on the schematic design. thank you so much for allowing us to make our presentation. >> thank you, dr. honeycut. is there anyone else wishing to speak? seen, okay, i will close public comment. and we'll turn to my fellow commissioners for any questions or comments. dr. scott had one. >> just with all gratitude, to five point and lenar and bayview hunters point shipyard, c.a.c. for all your eyes and ears and hands moving with them along the way. i cannot thank you enough. i appreciate you all so much the care and concern and how you've

been so inclusive with the community. i'm just so proud of you. proud to be a part of you but proud of how you're moving on. one of the questions i have in light of the structure the millennium tower sinking, had you thought of anything like that to make sure there are preventive measures? i see you get the wind factor and i'm so pleased. that was one of my questions. i too like mr. james, grew up in that community in the '50s. i know that area very well and how the weather goes. so i see you looked at that. i didn't hear anything about the structure of thinking about because it is landfill, the sinking of the building.

have you done measures for that? i want it hear more about that. >> i appreciate the question. we're happy to have our structural engineer and i'll recognize nick and hardiv. they've done numerous high-rise projects in the city and the world. the next step we'll be evaluating the geotechnical information that comes back from that report. and from that report we will be implementing a structural foundation that take into account the soils beneath the land and that is subject to

revows. that's our next process but there's lessons learned ma make the process building and our building codes are built off the lessons learned. so our building department and others are very aware of what measures need to be taken as do our structural engineers. >> and for the paint inside and outside, have you considered the glossy paint for the inside of the walls opposed to a matte. i was looking at alice griffen and before people could move in they looked old and tarnish just from janitors setting things up and their clothing and it was

marred. >> are those interior or exterior? >> interior walls where the garage is and it leads like if they were moving in. garage leading upstairs into the levels. >> we do take into account all the materials. they're life cycles, the finishes, we tend to look at finishes between a matte and glossy an eggshell finish. all those are further refinements but for sure keeping something fresh and knew they're all things we take into account as we start to specify all the finishes in the next iteration of the design process. >> commissioner: thank you so much. and the last thought and it may not even apply to thi
