remorse and that we five, six, ten years from now have folks coming to us about the deactivation. i hope it will do due diligence. let the new neighbors know the existing neighborhood is supportive, just so that everyone goes in with their eyes wide open. i think it's important to have this much of the park activated with a variety of things and i'm very supportive of it. >> vice president adam. >> i have to tell you, one thing about a good presentation is how many people say, um, and not one time did you have any ums in your presentation. [ laughter ] >> it was very fluid. you knew what you were talking about. a lot of time people use the word um a lot. jack, you beat me to the punch talking about corrin. she was the conscious of this commission and a lightning bolt. this is so complex and all of

the patience and teamwork that went into this and you've heard me say this many times, i think the giants have shown the city what a good corporate citizen can be an engage in the community and you have brought the community along with you, right? and you can feel the investment that you're putting back. i want to go back to what commission wohoo said about your commitment and it shows by what you're doing. like the affordable housing and things like that. and i know it's been going back and forth and i like it. and also the different mayors. mayors that have seen this, whether gavin, the late ed lee. it's a transition about people and i like the fact that the people in sanfrancisco, we never use the word i and me but use the word we and us and woke through it. and then the back and forth. i'm just moved by this project

and want to see it get done right. this project, for future generations, you know,lyin' in the city, the average age is 27 years old. the younger generation and generations to come are going to benefit by to. the transformation in the city that i've seen in 16 years that i've lived here, this city has transformed. it keeps transforming. it went from, like, the flintstones to the jetsons and keeps evolving, living in the city. the culture, i think, that the gains and what you're going here is set in a different culture that other cities, i think, across the country want to talk about. because everybody always talks about what they have the best-looking stadium in the country. but the social, cultural things we've done and i want to say, jack, to you, because i've seen you out in a lot of things that you -- you are here a lot things

other than the giants, the homeless and you know people care because a lot of times as commissioners, we see people that come and they're here about their own issue. you never see them again. i want to say thank you to your organization because it speaks to the best of what san francisco is about and i'm happy about what it is going to be, so thank you. >> thank you. >> rebecca, thank you so much for this presentation. a lot of information that you guys summarized very well. i am so excited about this project that i wish we could vote today. [ laughter ] i echo everything my fellow commissioners have said but today, it was worth the wait. so i am so looking forward to putting the shovel in the ground and i want to thank the giants

and mission rock team for working so well with our fellow city agencies, with ron at cmd, with workforce development and really creating opportunities for everyone, not just this project. but for all of san francisco. so this is just an exciting project and we look forward to the next meeting when we're actually able to vote on this item and moving forward and get a shovel in the ground. so thank you. >> item 12b requests one final mitigated negative declaration and a mitigation of a programme, an adoption of finding to the quality act, public resource's code 21,000, for the mixed use development for sea lots 3.3 and

3.24 and davis street right-of-ways on the west side of the valejo street and north of broadway, two adoption findings, proposed by tck, a limited liability company for the suit providing numerous benefits to the public trust, threthree approval of a with tcd a term of 50 years with one 16-year extension. and an ons that includes 192-room low tell hotel, a dinne space and schematic drawings for the development. >> good evening. my name is ricky davani with the

development of the port. today's presentation will be at a higher level that does not

include the level of details which is was presented on augus. we have prepared, however, to prepare for details if you want. i will invite the representatives of mr. wallace to present a project schematic drawing for you. the day after, i will return to conclude the presentation. the request for you today is on the slide and i won't go through them completely but covers the sequa findings and a programme of mmr p to authorizing staff about a supervisors approval to move this project forward. next is the location of the site, the site is located at the corner of broadway and the

embarcadaro. it includes hotel and entertainment and high limit of 40 feet. in terms of line use control, this -- this is a gateway to chinatown. by way of background, how does this project get to where we are.

a proposal with temporary structures which was deemed not compatible with the historic district and went out, finding a development partner to help them propose a larger project, a proposal compatible with that

district. it goes to the board of supervisors to seek approval of awayer froa waiver.

this is a proposed development. as you ca can see on this side,n 015, after you proposed the dne, they came out with a proposal for $124 million with a ground-level basement.

this is the slide that is before you, you can see that the area has been reduced to 127,000 square feet and a community-based basement level. why are we doing this project?

some of the this is listed on the slide. it includes the sustainability as indicated on this slide. the key to transaction document that you would be approving is what we call the lease development and dispostion agreement. the lgda is the agreement and it is going to be for a period of one year and will list all of the conditions of what you need to complete before the port will allow the lease to be recorded. during the period, it will be paying us for staff time. and they will have transaction costs that have will be moving the project forward. they will use this for financing

the project and then keeping more time to close escrow because, you know, the nature of the business, they may not get everything down in time. we're providefor them to close escrow. the lease will be for an initial period of 15-year and 16-year extension. it includes rent they need to pay to the correspondent. court. we covered this extensively at the meeting on august 13th. we went over all those details we do have the details if you want to see them. next is the key public benefits of the development.

this is keeping with the policy of the city. as the space of 14,000 square feet of space which will be privately financed, not putting any money to it and operated by the developer. there'then there will be new jos well as increased revenue to the port.

were opportunity, i will turn it over to jay and come back to wrap it up. >> president and commissioners, executive director and staff. i'm jay wallace and i'm here with annie jameson. we're happy to go through the slights, buslides, but we wantey thank you to the supporters throughout the city. it's been a great opportunity to present a really positive outcome for the city and we hope that it meets all of your expectation and ours. i'm thrilled to be here with annie. she started -- >> in 1998. so tell us a little bit and then we'll get into that. >> i started in 1998 and i was

involved with the mayor of san francisco came to meet the mayor of seattle and calm to see the show. they had a conversation about hey, if it closes in seattle, it should come down to san francisco. that is what happened and started a great partnership between the two city. i'm pleased we're able to continue that tradition and move forward. thank you. >> in termsch the desigs of thee project, they're still not able to be with us today. but you have heard from him in the past. the project hasn't changed one bit since you heard from us four years ago. a site plan, we find the interior of the building, but the park is the same. the location and size of the theatre is the same, 40-foot height limit is the same and red brick along the exterior, the

glass gazebo for the tent, the park in the back and we have been a project that has been moving through the process. we're now here at what we hope to be the lease approval, so we can move on to the board of supervisors and happy to answer questions, but again, the project has been stable since virtually day one. the only thing that did change is the elimination of 16-foot basement deemed to be unnecessary. so happy to answer any questions. so move on, if you like. >> thank you. >> very quickly, i'll get to the rest of the drawings. the rendering of the park. a few from valejo street to embarcadaro and there is what the building looks like whenned completed.

the next steps is requesting the approval of the items before you. we're projecting approval in september or october and we hope to able to process this by october of next year if everything goes accordingly. that concludings our staff presentation. >> i make a motion. >> second. >> we have public comment, linda? >> good afternoon.

, president brandon, honourable commissioners and always esteemed the board director elaine forbes. thank you for having me here. i'm here wearing three hats for disclosure, one as a san francisco and secondly, as someone that has extensive background, land use development and third hat i'm wearing for the last two and a half years, i have joined 34 other people in sanfrancisco advising this commission that your staff, trying to put together a wonderful land-use master plan that will guide this agency for the next 30, 40, 50 years and beyond.

s i waive this project with the overall objections and equity and sustainability. the activities are increasing there and it's what we spoke about a lot. this is a public, private venture which is one of the things we note that you all would be embarking on as in the san francisco giants. it's the only way to begin to implement all of those wonderful projects on the pipeline. so this project meets that. let's talk about open space. yes, you have a lot in there as the port manager director said before. and so, you have all of the

elements of the economic development and the seawall, the development of the seawall is really the core, one of the core functions. this really makes you all the enterprise agency that you are striving to become more and more. so all of this project is in line with the mission and objective of off all. i can also add that you have value added in terms of job creation. one of the signature elements this is the detail.

i really want to commend the port staff and the project sponsor for everything you've done. this is a tremendous benefit to our neighborhood with the open space, a hotel that i will say beyond the construction trades with labor and i want to commend the developers for that, as well the only question i have, i'm curious if there's any way to

close the road sooner and start construction before october of 2020? >> i can let jay answer this question but from my professional experience, there is no drawing as to go to the city dbu approval process. oui quo would like to see that,k you. >> we'll make a photo of that, >> commission?at. >> we have reviewed this project with a fine tooth comb as ricky knows.

away asked questions and i think we're excited, number one, to see tiattro come back and revenue-sustains source and it's exciting to have a hotel on the waterfront. i think that's a major new development for us and that it is actually supported by everybody in the community, as well was the port and the city. so i think that's a major break-through. i wanted to follow up on the question that commissioner gillman asked on the timeline. how long is the construction period and when would we see the project completed and lease in operation? >> the construction period is projected to be roughly a year and a half to two years,

depending on what our conditions are. but that is currently the time frame. >> by end of 2022, hopefully. >> yes. >> hopefully we can see it sooner. as someone involved with the cultural organizations in the city, i think it's really sorely needed to have another cultural activity here and i think we would be supported to see that and not only for the city but the visitors to the waterfront. that's a great benefit to have. it.

>> will this building be tied to some of the things they could provide as a public benefit which would act as a marketing for the site, as well? if people see that, maybe i should see the show and maybe that's a future sort of information session for us. but it would be nice to see how we would use the park and how it would be activated, who would manage the activation and if you could give us details. to get to where we are today, it's a huge effort and this is an add-on to the future to understand. >> vice president adam? >> what and introduction and it's good to see an icon coming back, the support, and thank you for being in the house and all

of the the jobs it will provide. jay, i don't know what kind of presentation you may and started on page one and went to page 10, it was quick. but i want to say thank you for your patience and being very, very consistent. i look forward to voting on this and supporting this. i tell you something, this is going to add to the beauty of our san francisco waterfront booing dowingbeing down there we terminal. i don't think there's a better waterfront in the world better than what we have in san francisco and it's getting better. i want to say thank you for your vision and pass it on to everybody. the port staff, once again, ricky, thanks for all of your hard work. you knocked this one out of the park. and so thank you very much. >> thank you. >> ricky, rebecca and mike, thank you for your patience and

perserverance and thank you for walking us through this project with a fine toothcomb and making sure we understood exactly what we were getting. i think because you did that, we are so excited to have this project come to fruition. we're going to get a hotel first on the waterfront. that the port owns. we are looking forward to this project. aye. resolution 1936 has been approved. >> congratulations a. >> requesting authorization to

ward contract to the harbour service's incorporated, rc environment and the silverado contractors and related professional services. each contract in an amount not to of course seed $300,000.

>> if this contract will off approved, there will be zero waste by 2020 and environmental practices and port operations and by ensuring this results in advancements, environmental quality of life for san francisco residents and visitors. the scope for this contract is not fully defined in advance but

will certainly as master agreements through which port staff will issue orders on a project by project basis. port staff have already identified areas and projects that this contract can be used for. this is such as recovery, containment and materials. following wiring used the majority of the work that this contract will be used for is hazardous waste disposal services. because the service is highly specialized and because there is

a low availability of people that can do this work, cmd, the subcontractor requirement goes for 5% of the contract. commissioners, on september 11, 2018, you authorized qualifications or rsq to provide these services to the port. on february 26th of this year, we issued the rsq with a due date of april 5th. on that due date, we received three responses. in a bit to try to increase the interest by suspicion in rsq, we in agreement with cmd decided to reject the three proposals and to reissue the rsq.

with had interest in the rsq. notably, we performed in the bay area counties to provide these kind of services. we emailed from various periods and even before the rsq was reissued. we held a pre-proposal conference attended by representatived from over ten firms and we also asked staff that have been contracted to promote the rsq at any of the events. on the due date of july 12th, we received four proposals for 18 unique firms and all were deemed responsive.

this next slide deals with a selection process for this contract. the rsq allowed for the award of up to four contracts. it met all licenses and requirements and we in consultation an agreement with cmd decided to recommend contract awards all for proposals. on july 30th, we issue issued a notice of intent and did not receive any project. the next two slides provide information about conferences. some of the firms are happy and happy to answer any questions you may have. although the requirements for

this contract is 5%, each of the four firms have committed to self-contract nearly 7% of the work to lbds. in fact, 60% of the subcontractings in the teams, on the firms are lbds.

nrc environmental specializes in marine services for emergency services, including the contamination, salvage, removal and disposal vessels and barges. this was involve in the demolition of removing the bay bridge and their specialization is the demolition services and salvage.

commissioners if you want this contract today, we will work to issue the notices to proceed by october 0th. 10th. also, there's a port contract demonstrators and that concludes my demonstration and i

appreciate your time. >> so moved. >> second. >> is there any public comment on this item? seeing none, public comment is closed. thank you, that was a very thorough report and appreciate the details you've provided in terms of the outreach which would have been one of the topics of discussion on the lbe side and i can imagine this is a very specialized and so if we feel that hopefullyby giving these firms an opportunity to see increased opportunities for lbes in the future, i'm supportive of this and i think i presume you all have your home to choose the right firms in each of your areas of specialty. thank you. commissioner gillman. >> no questions. >> i'm supportive and i'm glad to see there are new firms that got chosen, instead of the same

ones, new people that got an opportunity and we want to provide more opportunity to support other people just in the same old group of people. so thank you. >> i think we're all very supportive of this. so all in favour? >> aye. >> resolution 1930 has been approved. >> item 14a, a presentation is addressed and waterfront review process and solicitation of public comments. >> good afternoon, president brandon. i'm the deputy director for planning and environment. happy to be here today to provide a report on where we are with the draft waterfront plan which was published in june. the work that we've withi been g

over the summer. i wanted to give you a report on the feedback and the outreach efforts and to provide this public hearing opportunity, as well, for further public comments to come forth. we have really sought to solicit comments by the end of settlement so that we can take stock of whether the draft plan is hitting the points that people expected after the long process lead by the waterfront plan working group and to make any further refinements and, of course, corrections, if necessary, before we start the environmental review process. so to that end, the staff report lists more details, but this is the summary of the meetings that have occurred over the last couple of months, continuing through the end of the month, as far as scheduled. we're still open and available, certainly, to other organizations, if they have any interests or questions or

meeting requests. so we want to make that clear. but it's been a great opportunity to get out to the community and hear so many different perspectives of we vetched out oand wehave reachede port social media, through digital magazine, which has been helpful and we were really -- the funnest one was the public vote tour back in july. we had over 200 people join that tour. they got a sense to understand what this waterfront actuallien tailactuallyentail entails and it was so fun to see the people in diversity in age and backgrounds and neighborhoods they were coming from. we also have the draft plan online and we have public comments and surveys online to make it easier for people to

review it and solicit if they're not able to come to the meetings. and the survey is still open, so this is just a snapshot of the results that we were tallying on the online survey as of last week, which was organized by the nine goals that the plan is presented in, along with policies presented in the plan andouille oand all of the subple are promoting for the waterfront subareas.

i have snapshots of the highlights because the survey allows for people to give detailed comments, as well and not to repeat them all, but i thought it would be good to highlight for you that on the maritime front, there continues to be very strong support of the port's diverse maritime portfolio and a respect for the birthing, the diversity of birthing requirements that the port needs to maintain to support those industries, particularly for the deep water burbs. there's a new form of public access to the san francisco waterfront, in addition to public access from land. a reiteration of making sure there's as many different public

oriented policies and to include opportunities for low and no-cost activities, as well, in the interest of really making the waterfront as accessible to everybody, regardless of economic background. i think the two projects that you've had before you today are good examples of what we're trying to achieve here. we did get some finer-grained comments, as well, on some of the technical issues of some of the policies. one of them being as relates to the embarcadaro historic district objectives. i would note that all of the public outreach done on the waterfront plan, to answer questions or to solicit comments has been done in a quate coordid with on the port's resilience programme and rfp preparations

for the embarcadaro pier projects and the seawall, as well. where we've been able to have interactive discussions to show how the policies relate to actual project initiatives that we're trying to advance, it's helped, i think, the public to understand why the waterfront plan is there and what the policies actually mean and to that end, rattler the historic district, we did get a comment about, perhaps, clarifying the policy language to make it clear that the high-revenue generating uses that are allowed for in the embarcadro policies is for the purposes of generating the financial capacity to be able to seismically upgrade and deliver the trust access and oriented

uses and not to be just an an office development opportunity. that it's an integrated package. i think there are improvements that we can make on the language there to make that more clear. we did get some comments just yesterday from john collinger from the working group with concerns around the general office policy provision and we will follow up with him to answer his questions and certainly happy to answer questions you have today. similarly, as relates to our seawall lots, the giant's mixer mission rock project, to enable the kinds of neighborhood development that you've just heard about today, there are provisions in the waterfront plan policies for state legislation of some of the north of market seawall lots. and we had comments there asking for more refinements in the

policies there to make it clear that if the port were to pursue state legislation to lus lift te public restrictses on the seawall lots, that would happen after the port commission had identified a development opportunity for that given site and talked about what it is that you would like to achieve before there was a state legislative proposal and i think that that is an easy clarification for us to make in the plan. as it retes to parks and open space, i think the park activation is something that we continue to hears a an interest from many members of the public and a lot of comments really in strong support of recognising the importance of the natural waterfront and how the natural shoreline is also a big part of the port's open space plan as well.

finally, on transportation, we have a lot of comments on transportation. there's a lot of support for thd transportation goals and policies which are new additions to the draft plan. but i think the comments we got on the transportation policies are a reflection of how much the transportation challenges are that we are constantly facing here, whether it is on a bicycle and pedestrian safety perspective, whether it is on reduction of vehicles to reduce greenhouse gas emissions or to maintain industrial good's movement, to support our maritime industries. we've got comments that have been logged on to all of those fronts. and finally, on the environmental sustain ac sustaid

resilience and all work done on the seawall and resilience team on the sea-level rise planning has paid off because people are understanding the importance of really effective environmental sustainability practices and strategies and the regulatory programmes that we deploy to put us in better position for planning for the resilience. so a lot of comments and positive feedback on that front, as well. alongside the draft plan, we also have other work involved with bcdc and sanfrancisco planning department so that we're working in sync with their planning documen documents to ae port, city and bcdc planning and land use policies for the san francisco waterfront. for the planning department -- did i skip over b.c. -- for the

planning department, we are taking a look at the city's general plan and we'll be working with the staff to develop conforming amendments as necessary so there are conflicts between the waterfront plan and the city's general plan. for the planning code, those are regulatory procedures that are contained that affect or designed review process for port development projects on port property. we would like to amend that planning code so that we have a design review process that extends through the entire seven and a half mul half mile waterfd all of that work is being down iin sync preparing to issue the sequa environmental review process which we hope to be able to do after we've completed this

comment period on the draft plans. and then with b.c. dc, for president brandon who was here when we did the last waterfront plan and did a major amendment to bc-dc's plan so both agency's plans were consistent with each other, we have to go back and do that again. and in this case, we have, we a new transportation resilience and environment sustainability policies, and new upgraded rules for how to try to manage historic-peer projects to deliver, we have a number of planned amendments to b.c.-d.c.'s waterfront area plan, and it will be formally initiating with the commission next week on september 19th.

this slide here is to give just a quick highlight of some of the key items that are described in further detail in the staff report. but this 50% rule policy, just as a reminder for the newer commission members, that is an old policy that b.c.-dc had on the books that basically frustrated the efforts to try and allow for seismic retrofit or substantial repairs to pile supported facilities that redated b.c.-d.c. all of our historic piers predated that and under the 50% rule, that rule would have appeared to have shrunken to half of the footprints of the repair and the remaining half would either been removed to create bay fill and expand the size of the bay or to be converted to public access or a

combination of bill fill or public access and for the historic piers, that was at 20 years ago, deemed to be not possible and from pier 25, down to china basin, we were able to strike a deal with b.c.-d.c. where we could create the brandon street wharf and the cruise terminal plaza and remove some piers but allow the rest of the historic piers in the historic district to be held in place and for us to be able to do the kinds of projects like this project or pier one, where we can do seismic retrofits and rehabilitate them. ands that really what we're trying to do on the rfp projects comincomecoming forward. (please stand by).

some of the improvement may be most needed vase on an two area outside of a given geographic vicinity. as we go through our resilience program planning, seawall planning, we are starting to see that we need to be very holistic in the way we are looking at improving the waterfront, and making sure that the equity opportunities, environmental justice issues that we need to respond to are also considered

in taking that holistic look. those are kind of the key issu issues, and their other details in there, to that we will be working with bcdc on to work on draft amendment to the plan. we will bring back report on our progress on that front for the port commission and the public to weigh in on it as well. for next steps, we want to hear out to what other comments that we get to the end of the month, port staff will be taking review of all of that to figure out what refinements, if necessary, are going to be needed for the plan. where we make any proposed edits to the goals of the policy language.

so that the commission members, as well as the public will be able to review that. at the same time, we have got some comments about the length of the plan and how it's very long, and if there are ways in which we can edit it down, and reduce some of the background information, we are working on that front, too. we will be doing redline changes on background information, so much, but any policy related comment that would do that. and then we will report back on our progress with the planning department, and bcdc on the special planning amendments, and wrap those into what will ultimately be covered by the environmental review process area without, i am happy to answer any questions. >> thank you. public comment? randall scott.

>> good afternoon. my name is randall scott, i'm with the secretary of treasurer for the wharf. i would like to applaud diane and her team for the herculean effort for the dog and they produce and it's amazing. the primary reason why am here today, is to really lobby on behalf of the fisherman wharfs area, for the 50% elimination at 50% that bcdc proposes area as you can imagine, reducing pier 45 by half for seismic upgrades it would just really be a detractor to the area. the holistic approach, you know, i plan on going to the bcdc hearing next week as well. the holistic approach that the planning department
