1:08 pm
lyla so i don't repeat what she will be presenting on and we have the entire team here, as well as development partners, as well, t. >> i'm the senior project manager for hunter's point ship shipyard. just as the director noticed, two weeks ago, in a detailed presentation on the vision and goals related to the proposed amendments for the major phase, which needs to be implemented through a series of amendments to regulatory documents governing the development of candlestick point. today, you will give a quick overview of some of the plans that you saw previously and then get into the details of which amendments are tied to which regulatory documents. also, sally, deputy director, will give a quick overview for
1:09 pm
candlestick point and i'll come back to the podium. here is a broad overview, probably essentially lists out what i just spoke about and then, the commission secretary read the one before you. the first for findings for addendum 6 and the third resolution covers the adoption, the major phase as well as changes to the infrastructure plan, transportation plan, conversion of square footage that is allowed for the bayview redevelopment plan and transfer some square footage for the shipyard to candlestick point. this sha look familiar from the last meeting. this is an overview and mostly we'll be talking about candlestick point. i have several images to context
1:10 pm
usecontextualize where we are, showing neighborhoods in candlestick point and you have the center in grey here and we probably won't have these names for the future neighborhoods but this is just to orient you of the whole candlestick air and griff is to the west and to the east is candle park south. and now zooming in, into the major phase, another aerial overview with the major phase of the subphases within the major phase talking about, a cpo one which includes the first phases of alison that have been built and the other major phases we've been talking about today. and just a quick overview. this is the hir hierarchy of documents many of you are familiar with, the order of how we get from very broad documents
1:11 pm
like the redevelopment plan, the dda, then down to other project documents that regulate the development and major phases and then subphases and then to the vertical designs you have seen before you. and then to recap, there's been many prior aprojects bu approvae amended it and i'll you turn it over to sally to talk about the overall housing program. >> good afternoon. again, we thought it was important to revisit the housing program within the project and highlight a few things not changing, as well as can't points that are changing. so a key point today is that the bmr housing plan within the dda
1:12 pm
is not changing. so now are the number of total units, the required range of inclusionary housing, nor the senior inclusionary project are changed to the actions today. what you'll hear about later from lyla is the proposal to rearrange the market rate and inclusionary hous housing withie cp center, as well as the inclusionary housing from later phasing into cpo2. as a quick refresher in major phase one, the first housing completed was alice griffith, phase 4 founded by ocii and the developer. here is an overview of the housing units delivered, the full build-out of shipyard phase two where you see over 10,000 total units, over 3300bmr units and the projectachieves 32% of
1:13 pm
afforability. in candlestick, the total amount is 3,000 housing units which is an increase of 400 units, thanks again to the developer advancing some of the housing into cpo26789. 2. major phase one will achieve 39% affordable. affordability. this is looking at candlestick as a whole and so here is a visual of the bmr housing map from the dda and the colored blocks represent the alice griffith lots, ocii lots and workforce housing lots and these are not changed through the actions today. now ouour stand-alone blocks ala full spectrum of housing and opportunities for deep affordability. you're familiar with the public housing replacement units in alice gruff fifth serving zero
1:14 pm
to 60% of area med-i medium inc. there will be homeless housing and rental housing units and what's changing today is just rearranging of the grey blocks in that triangels in the cp center. of course, one of the most important aspects of the bmr program are the people who live there and so there is a robust set of occupancy projects that will govern the housing projects.
1:15 pm
there are additional phases for any previous householding that left and want to come back. so oci staff is working hard to think of ways to increase our outreach to certificate of preference holders and we'll be coming back before you in a month for our annual cop program report but i'll give you a sneak preview of some of the things looking at are ways to continue to improve and increase our outreach range, including ways to use social media. we're looking into trying to create an inner active map to allow potential cop holders to see more easily if they resided in an address that is eligible to receive a certificate of reference and, of course, we are going to continue to implement our recent practise of income tiering through properties, proe projects are spread across multiple levels to maximize opportunities for cop holders.
1:16 pm
you know, of course, the most immediate way to serve cop holders is ensuring we have housing units to move into which is why seeing progress is so critical to oci's mission. so with that, i'll turn it back to lyla to continue the presentation but i'm happy to answer any housing questions after the commission takes public comment. >> and so here on this slide is a summary of community benefits, none of which are changing. we are essentially the developers and compliance, a lot of these community benefits were triggered when the first major phase was approved and later i'll be talking about the lots moving but in teres o terms of e actual compliance, the developer is compliant and nothing is proposed related to the dda body of the community benefits.
1:17 pm
so again, if you look at the map, the tan, the beige area is major phase one, cp, which is what we are talking about. if you look at the map, cpo3 and 4, man seven of the blocks havee before the commissioner for vertical, schematic design review and you have seen those and you have cp center which we refer to as cpo2. and so now, i'm going to drill down deeper into the proposed amendments here. i'm skipping ahead. so this is an overview of the major phase application amendments that you heard two weeks ago but broadly, it's about adding more housing to the cp center area. it's about reducing the regional retail, removal of the tower
1:18 pm
site and pane o many other itemd hear thahere that we will get ie next slides here. there's phoufbgss t phoufbgs toe schedule performance where the developer will deliver parks and the horizonal infrastructure and we're shifting those one to three years because we spent the last couple of years retooling this plan and needing to go out and do the actual approvals, the community process and now after this step, we will have to go seek permits and that whole time has shuted the schedule performance and we've updated the performance. the alison griffin neighborhood is moving the facility lot from where it was previously in cpo3
1:19 pm
to the alice griffin neighborhood area and then the retention of the frendalda childcare play area. so this map should look familiar. what is currently the land use plan to your left and what is proposed. if you look at the pink area, it was the outlet mall area in the map and to the right, you see a lot more housing. again, here is some know many clanomenclaturei'll be using the presentation, the outfield and infield, keeping in line with references to the old stadium and i'm just going to zoom in more on what's happening on each partpart of the pie or home pla. and so back in 2017, we had a retail center and you see the red representing regional retail and now you see the 2019,
1:20 pm
office, housing and you see retail lining the area to serve neighborhood uses and you have a certain amount of regional retail in the 2019 plan, as well. so this is the outfield program, the summary the square footage of the units and outfield area. if you go up now to the infield, the dark blue area, the film and art's center. that has always been a part of the project. the location has moved from where it was previously located but still a part of the land use program and then you have the senior housing at 60% ami and multifamily housing in the infield. so this is a summary from a square footage percentage of what has changed between the 2016 approval and currently what is proposed and you see changes in the neighborhood retail and
1:21 pm
you see the performance and the venue is getting smaller. the hotel, the square footage is smaller. now we will zoom in on alice griffith. this map represents the different types of neighborhood. you have workforce and market housing and the first face of pf alice on this map. we want to highlight where the community facility lot that is supposed to be used for a community used for fire, school or police is being located from what is cp1a to the alice griffith neighborhood to serve the residential neighborhood in that area. but you see purple remaining on the right-hand side for community use and reserved for
1:22 pm
possible fire station. so now, talking about frandeljia, if you look at ag8 to the housing map that sally covered, ag8 would be a mark rate lodgmarketrate lodge but ag with the te tenants, they need t to function and we are keeping that as a playground area and the market rates will be distributed throughout the other market rate unit s. s. we're not changing the percentage amount but since the development plan is shutting froshiftingfrom a retail to lard residential, your defact tow deo
1:23 pm
reducing the amount for spaces the change you see is the cp center and i'll show you this map, these are all of the locations of the community facility spaces, most of which have been approved through the vertical designs before this commission. and so you see all of these locations lining as well as ingerson which is the main retail corridor and you have harhaveharney with retail and ye the african marketmace to have .
1:24 pm
the orange is highlighting 3,000 of community facility spaces that would be located in major phase two, part of major phase one and that is the welcome center for state parks. that's part of the requirement. and then this is the end results of all of the changes and this is a land use map essentially, what you end up with and you have the community facility lot and west side of the site plan, you have office at cpo2 and then you have a lot more red residenl in cpo2. another viewpoint, just to look at it differently, amassing that you can see the major phase. so then you want to talk about the design for development, which essentially functions as a zoning code for candlestick point containing all of the
1:25 pm
guidelines to shape the future of the cp center as well as all of candlestick. this is tai tailor-made for a regional center for the land uses proposed within the cp center. oci staff, five-point and planning department worked closely on the changes in the d for d and it's in your packet, you have a red line of what all of the changes are and examples, just some of the examples of the starstandards are set-backs, sie coverage and how you activate the ground floor. there's also more information on some of the other items that are contained within the d for d minutes. we are also proposing a height of course acceptioexception whe%
1:26 pm
allowance to cover mechanical equipment and then also allow for 10% deviation. these are -- that deviation is consistent with what we approved for the d for d. this we went over at the workshop, as well, the height changes and all of the height changes are happening within the candlestick center part of the project. if you look at the map in 2016, you had a tower before and that is being removed in the candlestick center site. you have increases from 65 to 85 to 120 towards the back part of the site where the mixed use office is and then in the internal part, you have increase from 65 to 85 feet and on the productiveryperiphery, you haveo 85 feet.
1:27 pm
so the schedule performance changes as i discussed earlier is having shuts between one to three years and then towards the end, th, there's a shut. the major subtpa*use subphases t from one to three years. i'll talk about the other documents. the other documents that are very much involved with our city family infrastructure plan. we work with all of the city adoptdepartments so we work wit, public works, mta related to the infrastructure plan and all of these amendments have been vetted by those city agencies and so, i just want -- you have detail summaries in your package, but this is some high level changes.
1:28 pm
one is a sea level rise design criteria updated to match wha what -- to the 2012 standards that have been adopted and certainlyessentially, it's a hir finish floor required for the project. the developer contemplated this and had been designing the project to those standards already. so it's more about catching up the document to the actual standard. and then we have private utili utilities on right streets and that's something to get the city's ok on and that's a part of the project, as well. we have something called the auxillary water supply which allows enough to fight fires in event there's a fire and then a complicated on how to build that system and puc and ocui and the developer will be working through future changes on, maybe, how we fight those fires
1:29 pm
and provide enough hydraulic capacity on the source and so there will be possibly a future amendment to the document. and that's one of the requests and one of the resolutions to delegate that voter t authorityr director when they have worked together on how we will provide actauxillary water supply system and then matches to what we have made in the transportation plan.
1:30 pm
you have express shuttle, the brt and the 29. i would like to turn to the environmental review which is the big document you see here which requires studies that we need to do for these amendments and this is an addendum six that is a part of the project, part of these project amendments and it concludes that the scope of the project will not result in any new impacts or cause any new significant impacts but the other important thing that i'm going to talk about in the next couple of slides that we are also adopting a different threshold on how to measure significant transportation impacts to be more compatible
1:31 pm
with how the state and the planning department is now measuring transportation impacts. and so, this is about vehicle mile travel. currently, you know, the 2010 spa*u2010 err uses level of sere and this focuses on how lan usee and transportation affects drives instead of how these projects change the amount of driving. changes to driving condition taz resulsthat result in an increast changes do not fully describe the environmental impacts associated with greenhouse gas emissions and fuel consumption. so evaluating projects based on vehicle miles traveled instead of level of service, changes the evaluation from impacts to drivers to measuring the impact of driving itself. so it's a much more effective way of really figuring out a
1:32 pm
project's true impact. staff has reviewed state and local city planning guidelines and staff recommends that the commission adopt the vmp, vehicle miles traveled, for the purposes in accordance with state and planning pwhraoeupbs. guidelines. we're doing what was previously done but we're adopting the new standard. and so slide 40, again, the workforce requirements for this project has not changed. this slide is showing the current status for slide point on current contracting and workforce status and with this project, there are no proposedded changeproposedded ce working with this on the workforce requirements and to make sure that we're successful and mee meeting or exceeding
1:33 pm
good-faith effort goals. so again, this is the list of community outreach you have seen addeand added is the cac that wd last monday and the vote was 6-1 at that full cac meeting. and this came out of the workshop that we had on october 1st, where the commissioners requested to create working groups to monitor the progress and also affect how the developer of oci are working towards meeting all of the objectives that are required for this project but also exceeding them and so we have taken heed to this and given we'll be spending a lot of the six to seven months on the horizonal infrastructure not quite getting
1:34 pm
to vertical, we thought first meetings could occur in the spring of 2020 and we've listed out the different working groups. and there is similar to the last slide you saw at the last meeting, when do we go vertical. you spend two years working on horizonal infrastructure, getting the permits, the maps and then this is the vertical timeline and so the order of events where we're focusing on the developer is going to start on the outfield and then shortly thereafter work on the infield and cpo3 and then subphase cpo5 will be the last subphase of the major phase. and the immediate next steps is the planning commission approves the plan for development amendments and as i stated earlier, there's a lot of work with other city departments to get a street improvement permit to continue to build infrastructure in accordance with the infrastructure plan and
1:35 pm
also then the developer could actual start the construction. and so we have a whole bunch of people here to answer all kinds of questions in case they come up, but we're ready to answer anything. thank you very much. >> great, thank you. >> madam secretary, any speaker carcards for this item? >> linda richardson. >> good afternoon, everybody. noi am very assaulted. very exc. the last time we came out was during the workshop presentation by five points for the three minutes and we're going -- i think we need to just highlight
1:36 pm
the key parting statements, number one. there is no other project, no other company in the history of san francisco that has provided and also has proven, exceeded community benefits. i'm looking at your slide here sp this hathis has been talked t throughout san francisco agencies, over 3 million provided community benefits and guess what? more in candlestick point. it has become even more important, an emergency 9-1-1 to consider the five points have already built self-employment, job training and the whole encharge laenchilada is right h.
1:37 pm
there's an open space, transportation improvement, housing and everything adopted by five points. there is no other projects that are doing that and we're going to make this the gold standard that every development to the southeast sector adhere to that master plan and where we are today, no other project also has been put into community scrutiny like this. the community outreach is mind boggling. everybody has been going out, the cac have conducted several workshops. so at the end of the day, you have this project to kind of help us to revitalize. we are losing population everyday and we cannot wait any longer and we have the brilliant project. we know you're building everywhere, in mission bay, and help us to do this.
1:38 pm
1:39 pm
>> none of the ballpark was not in place, which is in place today. none of mission bay was even thought of 45 years anderson county wheago whenthat shipyard. we have suffered all these 45 years with a loss of jobs, business opportunities and everything else and it's time for this development to go on. lenar five points have done a tremendous point. when they came out in the community, i wasn't supporting them at all, ok? i'm being truthful. with their commitments and with what they have done, the opportunities they have given people in our community in job training, in helping contractors
1:40 pm
and subcontractors become more sustaining and able to go into the world and do construction work on their own, five points should be commended for that. twe had problems that allowed te environmental issues and my father worked in the shipyard and i know all of the places, the contaminants were in the shipyard because my father told me and other family relatives told me about the shipyard and it was conveyed to the commanding officer in 1974. partial aid did not have any toxics up there. that was officer's house, officer's club and the other enlisted particpates up there. .
1:41 pm
we need this development to go on. we need the newcomers coming in, seeing what's there to stop lying and listening to the people out there in the community. one thing i have with let's nuclealenar,they need to hire me who are out there and know the history and tell us what's wrong and what's right for the betterment of our community. i thank you very much. please pass this. >> will the following members line up in the following order? neo, joyce armstrong, mr. walker, kimberly hill-brown, randall saragushi and sam paulson. thank you. >> good afternoon, commissioners. i am here today to support the
1:42 pm
resolution 27-2019. i'm all for this project to continue and go through. thank you. >> thank you. >> please state your name. >> joyce armstrong. tac member for the shipyard and also the president of the public housing tenant's association. we serve seven developments that are left for radd and four of then are in district ten. as their representative, we come to you today to ask you to please pass this. we really need it to move on. i want to see some of this happen before i'm gone. so we would appreciate -- we appreciate lenar five points for what they have done and all of the cac members like dr. scott and dr. honey cut and people working before we got on the
1:43 pm
board two years ago. they've done amazing work and we would like to see this pass. thank you. >> thank you, miss armstrong. >> good afternoon, commissioners. my name is kimberly hill-brown and i'm here today to support len arars moving forward. alice griffith is my first home and all of this work done at candlestick is my backyard and something that i looked at as a little girl pwh-pb when i was f the dark. lights shined on my bedroom and i was happy when the 49ers and the giants played. this community has gone under a lot of disenfranchisement. my grandfather retired from the navy and he retired from
1:44 pm
treasure island and the shipyard. so i know a lot about the background of these two properties. i'm so thankful for our elders like oscar james who know exactly the historical situation that is going on those lands. i've played all back there as a little child. so we want to see this move forward. i am thankful for leringenar, fe outreach in the community and i'm the phta secretary and we follow leshawn. we've missed one community meeting thes she's held in varis locations throughout the year and just giving us the updates and amendments and different changes. it's been very informational. it's given the community an opportunity to have input and
1:45 pm
this is telesraeuzed so i want to say to in any district 10 residents to come to these meetings. whenever you hear anything going on, come out so you're informed and you receive the information. a lot of times we say, there's no benefits and nobody is doing anything, but if we don't participate in the meetings, participate in different programs that are going on in the community, it's just like voting. if you don't vote, you can't complain. thank you and i support the amendment. >> thank you, miss hill-brown. next speaker. >> commissioners, my name is tim
1:46 pm
paulson and this is the first time that i've addressed ocii since i became the secretary treasure of the 32 unions and construction trade's counsel. you probably remember me in last 14 years when i was the director of the san francisco labor, the unions in san francisco. organized labor has been behind this project almost since inception. we were there at the ballot and we were there during many of the hearings that took place. we worked on community benefit's agreements. we worked with the community and we worked on project labor agreement so that the people building the job out there will be paid fair wages and health and welfare benefits. so i'm here to support on behalf of all of organized labor this project moving forward. i want to remind people of one thing, not that i have to remind anybody about it, we all knew
1:47 pm
that when this project started, we didn't know what the 49ers would do. we didn't know if they would stay at candlestick or if it would move. that always throws a wrench in the plan. so it's no surprise lenar and five-point have been making the best for the community and this seems to be yet another phase of that adjustment b, that people have to work on and i have commend five points for the work and investment that they're taking to move this forward. so that being said, we do support this project. we look forward to moving forward and we're asking for your vote today. thank you very much. >> thank you, mr. paulson. >> james mavry.
1:48 pm
>> good afternoon, board. james mavry and i'm a san francisco microlocal business enterprise based in the bayvieww hunter's point, to speak for this project to move forward. being a bayview resident, i grew up attending a ballpark, things of that nature and just living around there, i employ 100% local residents and five-point has been very instrumental in helping my small business grow. this project will definitely enable me to have a solid foundation, being that it's long stkwr*efty. longevity. projects come maybe six months at a time and this project, the duration of it will help my core employees that work for
1:49 pm
longevity. this project will provide continuous jobs with the retail facilities in shops for people because we do janitor yellial. we will be able to provide four-time jobs, 40 hours a week to residents in sanfrancisco, which would eventually become taxpayers in san francisco. so it's a win-win for the whole city and county, especially for bayview hunter's point. >> reverend walker. >> honorable commissioners, i was looking at the screen up there and saw a name up there i arilius walker and then i look add the document that talked about the property and i saw the name in there.
1:50 pm
i came today to speak to you in reference to -- i lived in san francisco for 60 some odd years. i'm 88 area 88 88 area 88 years. i live at gillman avenue for 50 years didn't retired. the lord let me know i've done my job and i semiretired a ceo of the corporation and senior pastor, but they gave me another title, a mayo meretus pastor. i supported 100%. were build 504 housing units right by the church and i built
1:51 pm
out about 20 and new brand church buildings from the ground and my grandfather came hear to work in the shipyard, cleveland walker and he was very successful. what i mean by that, he saved the money, made the ship yard anyard.we were share croppers ad sharecroppers next to slaves for money, power and position. he made enough money to come back to east texas, that racism, written area and bought nine and a half acres of land and built a three-bedroom home. as a young guy, i made up my minemind, when i grow up, i'm gg to sanfrancisco and about seven of us made a decision that the only organization that we could
1:52 pm
see at that time, years back, and i don't have time because of my time is to bring the redevelopment agency back out here. we had a problem because the redevelopment almost destroyed the philmore area bu so i'm excd about what's happening and looking forward to working with the plan. i talk about it at the tabernacle corporation and i'm doing various other work in round with thirelationship withe looking forward and lenar and for five-points and thank god for them, too. >> thank you, mr. walker. >> randall saraguchi. >> good afternoon, commissioners. my name is randall sarag user c. we are a nonprofit in
1:53 pm
becauseviebecauseviewbecauseviee served boys of colour in the neighborhood three through five with a saturday school placing colour in front of them with stem exercises. the success with had with that slowly evolved in more men of colour in our schools in our week. so a one-day-a week program to three-day-a-week program and now we're at 350 harbour road and we have our formed initialive of recruiting african-american men to move to the city and give them housing to do that in this environment that the city has now. so at this intersection of education, workforce development and workforce housing for essential professionals in the city and our focus is on teachers, it's been extremely difficult, as you can imagine, making all of the pieces work at
1:54 pm
the same time, particularly for a small nonprofit but i can say that five-point and the community partners with this project interest bee have been o that come the end of this project, there could be a chance for a teacher to live in that neighborhood. soutwe've been successful in bringing two cohorts for from 5hbc and we have three housing sites in san francisco secured towards this project and we believe we'll be able to expand that moving forward with at a support we've been able to garner because of this momentum and we're in favour of this moving forward. we hope that you all will aremove it and thanapproveit an. to. >> alfonso. >> thank you. >> you have to excuse me. i'm kind of hoarse.
1:55 pm
>> i'm alfonso rhodes. i believe this could be a good help if you approve this. i'm out of the bayview and i put people from my neighborhood to work and i've been doing this about 18 years and lenar five point has been good to the small local business. so yo if you guys approve this,m ready to put men and women to work. that's it. >> thank you. >> dr. honey-cut. >> good afternoon. i'm dr. veronica honey-cut and i want to remind, i was the dean of the southeast campus of the city college of san francisco. i served in that capacity for 3
1:56 pm
years and i was always blessed because i was an educator in the city for 45 years, sanfrancisco unified school district and for the board city college of san francisco as a teacher and administrator. i have deep roots with the bayview and this city. in terms of this project, this project has it all. i'm going to reiterate it again for you i did the last time and i want you to remember what we're getting with this project. housing at 60% ami or lower and that means low-income folks will be accommodated. childcare not only at frandelgia and training for johns within je community and that's a huge plus so they cannot only live in the community, as well as work in the community. housing for the homeless of
1:57 pm
