slides for you and looking at specifically at vacancies and sort of our properties performance across the types of soekts on the one side go through shed industrial storage and then this board category we have called master properties land sub merited lane and as you can see sort of the relevant size and those types of the largest is 50 million square feet and envision of parking and open land and ground leases where we have master in place with a low vacancy and we have the next largest category of outside the shed stoirj our pier storage locations and our pier shed has a highway vacancy rate and don't lease a lot of office but not a great vacciney rate

have the broke down by portfolio we have the 2023 date when we come back to you for the perimeter lease in may have that data i don't have that at hand today but i can tell you at fisherman's wharf we have this coming and expect that vacancy rate to follow up that is is metrics as we go through time and the vacancy rate didn't look too bad we continue to have - and the storage in the pier sheds that is one thing i need to go through a couple of metrics to give you you a sense. and so i want to grow through north to south and point out some locations where you're property owners are trying to lease and running into trouble for one reason or another and the slides you'll see colored stars with the type of uses and

where we have locations we could invite tenants. the green stars count indicate the retail restaurants and pier three and one-half by the cities needed list and have those vacancies 1 on jefferson street and 2 three 5 and round house where leases come up in roundhouse in the calendar year and storage at shed space at pier three three and quite a bit at pier 19 and variation location because of their cap we think of the name and code issues and other problems with the properties we had people potential tenants come forward but not being able to lease it for for whatever reason those include the sort of previous office space on jefferson street would be converted to retail and pier

three 5 and as structural issues and pier 29 largely vacant having enormous people talking to us but colombia issues and having to extend that in the coming months and this story about sustain i think that is nice to look at each side with a little bit of detail on the next slow down the centralized waterfront at the coconut some of the vacancies in this location. we have east building right behind us market by - we entered into a contract and office spice at a.d. building and storage shed as pier 26 and 28 and pier 50 and have capital issues with the leasing in pier 26 and 28 those capital issues leaks and some issues with

restrooms not working restrooms at the location and pier 54 we're local government what is next but those are all spaces available and few walk down the waterfront might see that lease oftentimes running into a maintains problem with birds through our signal engineering department and the last section we want to go through a number of location that are available for example, we do moss month to month leasing and pier 80 a bit of office space and space another 51 chavez and the land and buildings the buildings out there many of them them very incredible and lots of ways but again a lot of preferred

maintenance with difficulty in leasing and with the capital issues in some of the buildings. where we are really getting oversee activated and we're trying to have a cure as we get to them through the capital programs. >> we have building signage we do every couple of months update the vacancies and have a leasing form offender our website we receive e-mails and folks are interested in the property we get love referrals and other cities agencies from the departments like small business commission and o e w d rented the space through a children and families and we have that board of health and now have other tool we entered the contract

with the broker in january and been marking this i'll give an update on the next slow down and those are leasing efforts and limited but they have been enough to keep if you seen the latest leasing report we continue to go up and lease 90 leases lo last month so activities and can be a lot more and great property. so those are the permit constraints are are really have a limited marketing and one hundred plus jerald facilities with capital improvement needs we are able to keep into the a lot of ingenuity and staffing with the department and on their on behalf so improvements we see that happening in the future and continue to try to use our

facilities to the greatist extent and a location for a makeover quite a few times quite a few a few of locations for non-development kind of leases how we have done in the past and quickly more efficiently not to not have a deadline northbound come forward and have a way to control things forward and as we clear on the goals for each site so coming to figure out how to do this in an efficient way and have the perimeter and we'll come in may and may, june time period have that moment to look at the leasing and see what is working and see what other

incentives for tonsils to help with us activation and the other main thing as we trying to backfill four of vacancies in realtime and the senior property owner will be existed to hand off their responsibilities to the tenants to be freed up to do some of the more league of cities' and activation sort of fulfilling the dreams of waterfront plan like implementing wasn't we want for the facility that is is most fun part of their jobs we are looking forward to have more all hands on deck to turn their attention to the future rather than responding with the day to day difficulties of weather and what have you those are the efforts we are moving in terms of of getting on the for the and leasing and renewing the property rather than trying to get people into compliance with their sort of things that covid

19 tail they're focused on so leave but that and in your minds we we go forward with the information and action items more formally in may and june thank you, commissioners. >> thank you rebecca. >> i want you to those for your report and see in the public school as we work through the portfolio you are getting that for the public to understand with wearing facing and thank you, rebecca can and team for the information. that concludes my report. . thank you. >> elaine and i will open up for public comment any public comment in the room? >> okay. >> corey any public comment on this item. >> >> dial *3 to be added to the public comment queue for the item you would like to speak on. and at this time doesn't peer there is none on phone for

morning and i was telling her a matter of time for a lot of water and some floods coming our way i guess what i'm curious how we're working on fixing those older spaces when we know that is pretty dated i guess i want to know in the future i know the previous lease they're responsible to fix underneath they're building but to be competitive how do we integrate those as part of the lease they don't get scared withdrawing oh, my god have to fix those buildings but take a fair share of that and buried and the next person will have that all of a sudden costs to fix underneath

the pier i'm glad we're making progress and glad to do shed space on the southern side i like to get up and talk with the nonprofits that are sharing spaces some of the sheds we're not using or fixing and they can raise money to do that or share they don't need though misquotes but they're might be 6 or 7 nonprofit i know there is would think in the mission and japan town and lease that rather than having that empty and not used the 23479 can try to raise money and share that so, anyway moving forward i think we're in the right direction and could a lot of work and the other thing is when i got you find out in washington that the u.s. chamber they're saying we're not comfortable again until 2025 with the economic recovery i have a feeling we're to be

adjusting for another year keep in mind and with the leases we have at the be creative so thank you and director and the relevant of staff for the tour of the port. >> thank you. >> vice president adams. >> i want to say a great report. and i agree with commissioner lee i called this we're going through a - i call this is the rebirth of san francisco and we're going through a change in the city. and it will look different than that looked post covid 19 that's okay change is good. but that's the only way we grow i see this as event to hear the offshore wind part of how the future is going to lock and good to see

you and your team raise the focus of where we have to do a a port and how we're going to change and make adjustments. i'm a glad to know we're worried the salmon and the crabs i'm glad to see we have comments and hydrogen and shouch but once again san francisco is on the cutting-edge and i was proud to show them we have the original affirmation on the water across the country once again san francisco we're leading the way and becca thank you for this elegant report on the vacancies we have been asking about that for a long time in light mission where we want to think that and

anyone wishing to speak should give their name, state that they are a resident or non-resident and they will have 5 minutes. what do we do with the sheds they've been vacant foreign a long time. >> thank you for asking pier 90 have small spaces but for storage sharing for restaurants and on the storages but to find find spacing those storage locations during the chinese new year's we can broke down for sure and a bit of time and all that so we are trying to market 19 for that pier 29 is on and just nodding to have columns but we are open for smaller spaces for sure. >> commissioner gilman. >> thank you >> so we are talking about the sheds space it is similar to the space um, on i

want to say pier 40 if we walk be backwards they're using for the facility for the marina tenants? just right one note some of the businesses have brought in trailers to make that look more like an office not typically what we want to do so most of sheds are limited by how much activity they're used for storage and very that was my question for the internet and electrical sea boomers this is just powell for storage. >> just powell for stoppage and improvements that's the limitation. >> thank you. >> thank you, vice president. >> rebecca how are we 0 doing in the ports was vacancies and leasing better look at everything; right? not just the city but how we stand across it

san francisco are reabout where we had been like the norm. >> we're still low on the office it is how we're doing well, we should be doing better on the storage side one thing we've been talking with the economic development and again, what are we not doing should be more demand for storage so it is either access or how the buildings how people can get to their facilities and if they rent something we're trying to figure that out we should be able to lease and might be the congestion on the northern side we're trying to figure that out but office we're in so doing well. >> thank you. >> one more question. >> (laughter.) >> so on the shed spaces the fire lane how much space is there square footage wise.

>> a lot. >> the typical shed with one hundred thousand dollars for circulation so pier 29 maybe 70 thousand i'm estimating but you get the image. >> right. >> any other questions or comments? >> thank you becca. >> jen can next with pacific cruise ship terminals for terminal operations parking at pier 29 during cruise operations at pier 27.

items and recap some of the presentations regarding planned revisions to give a summary of particularly for the newer commissioner about the public process a and so 0 honored we have leadership in the waterfront working group here to roll provide their preservation to talk about what the public process entails and what the waterfront relationship to the other documents that the port commission by details about the eir certification and ultimately the recommend we presented some revisions to the waterfront plan many of those revisions were related to comments we received

from the dolphin club at the time the commission members had a key issue we have a draft in the staff report regarding transportation policies and getting from better clarification about the intent as it relates to the embarcadero enhancement project and public safety issues along the embarcadero. so in our staff report today, our proposed revisions that staff proposes to included in the final waterfront plan that is tended to respond to the commission comments among those amendments to policy 18 to provide clarification about the importance of priority of public safety along the embarcadero promenade. and in the discussion led up to the policies make that clear as to the distinction within embarcadero promenade and

the embarcadero roadway it's eats embarcadero project is primary effecting changes within the roadway so we can improve the public safety along the promenade. and so if you have any questions i'm happy to address those revisions but the intent of the revision to respond to the comments that we received from the port commission. we have also i think clarify that those are all in sync with the revisions from f s mta and the policies are in alignment with the transportation policies and aligned how to apply them along the waterfront. um, i want to also spend a bit of time

parallel with members of our working group here to speak to the debt and the caliber the public process that backs up the policies amendments to create the final waterfront plan. outcome co-chair rudy is here to share the dias with janice and provided the focus and the revision and the leadership for the port staff throughout the entire time and guided the entire working group to 7 waterfront teams to roll keeping our eye on that and the water issues thereby addressed from that effort, you know, developed one hundred and 61 policy recommendations of which one hundred and 60 were unanimously endorsed and accepted by the port commission as well as part

of update to the waterfront planning plan this was done in addition to um, providing a deep dive with the confirmation consultant providing modeling for the public and the working group to understand port leasing what is required to make them financially viable and how we fork in public access historic presentation and all those public benefits that are key in the waterfront plan so that people what understand the job that the port commission has to balance all of those different public benefits to achieve the best outcomes for each of the ports projects. we really enjoyed great um, support and participation from our agency partners including the state

lands commission and the planning department and sf mta to integrate the policy and objectives and plan to be aligned as governmental agency across the board and workplace, you know, to provide for the support along term um, that will continue to provide go guidance for the port commission strategic plan. the foundation for the waterfront resilience program and a lot of equity values that right now being developed in more detail through the racial equity action plan so trying to weave all these together to have alignment and in same house, same call? was a focus this this process is

three stages of work with an orientation process the policy development and then a community engagement phase so that there was time dedicated to try to explain what the updating were entailed with the waterfront plan will look like for the citizens to understand that was a really regarding regarding *- rewarding so before the port commission what approve we have or have to finish the california environmental quality act and fortunate the port commission city administrator the final eir on march 16th. we had in the process worked further with um, the swim club south rowing club

them but through the remaining steps to be civil rights things can still change and hefty and i appreciate your time on that. >> thank you commissioner gilman. >> there are public process reviews in the policies in the plan and i'm telegraph hill working with david and the planning and environment team to use those the information is made available to the commission and public for review. so those policies are 85 in place. >> (multiple voices). >> i did want to add with with the nonprofit and following the recommendations of the waterfront plan. >> okay. >> to a t and in the request for professionals for pier

order whatever looking at the photo of you guys around the table i can imagine how much arguing but my question i've not been in the environmental groups but you how much of the business communities are you listening to and covid 19 happened sometimes for general reasons and public safety, you know, and before covid 19 happened i was, you know, worried about that small businesses were over locked this is part of economic recovery and wondering about our conversations with the meeting you had people in the business community involved or anyone that was retired enterprises that's my question. >> um, the answer is yes a very intentional effort to include all the different stakeholders

and the particular types of businesses loan the waterfront were key to that so we had several maritime responses and from the hotel couldn't addressed fisherman's wharf business strength and those local flavored types of businesses in particularly are displaced to the waterfront and make sure those are included in the working group membership and through the meetings great news business and 345i6r789 responses that paraded. >> was there pretty sure a consensus i mean, i that that everyone at has in their line about the safety and did you have to readopt our plan or is

that in line with that. >> this is where the. >> call the vote. goes to the waterfront working group to rudy and janice and the subcommittee chairs for leading very inclusive and civil i mean that was you livestock 0 might have been life points of view not in alignment but we didn't is have controversy no anger words but people chris what they're particularly acres or issues were in a collaborate way and then developing policy language that cross one hundred and 60 recommendations you can balance through and all the 9 groups and how to manage. so it is reflective of balancing act of

the port commission always brings to the job. and to look at if multiple perspectives and people hoping learn in the processed by looking at it from different perspectivess than you might normally be aware of and um, and one hundred and 60 of one hundred and 61 points of view the public's work and that's why is powerful than for the public works and port staff to carry that forward. yeah. i i mean a lot of work i - i mean i congratulate all you, you guys and the people do have a voice and don't understand mom and pop aye that come here to open and business and don't understand the environmental issues so thank you very much for that and everyone here. and, you know,

obviously adopted i'm to follow that man. >> great. >> good to hear. >> (laughter.) >> thank you. >> vice president adams. >> i only say this is a master piece for those and anything for san francisco you understand the politics we can't help it but you know what the democracy a painful and i want to say that rudy and janice and linda and alice had the patience the back and forth and that is good. that's the democracy i think that everyone had a voice. you gave us everything and more importantly have patience with the commissioners and had patience with the port staff the director. and then have patience

with the public. because sometimes human beings we are - that's how it is okay. and rudy you're smiling up and running but that's a gong and all the times you guys come here but to me that is democracy diane and that played out really been that that played out i don't think anything can say didn't have their voice heard and that's what we do and i want to thank you, for giving the time and you don't get paid for doing that your sheddeds of this and generations will benefit if all the hard work and it is painful may not hear from anyone but i can say this commission and each in this room if you don't hear from anyone else we appreciate it and wanted to tell you that

and i don't want to say anything about anyone i want to say it now you can hear me. thank you very much. i don't know what you (unintelligible). >> (laughter.) >> i wanted to again say thank you to you personally and also remind you, we the great presentation on the committee -

called the water land use when we built the plan because of comprehensive that the citizens have recommended for all of us i think that is very important to guidance visions for the port moving forward and cannot ask for a stronger more collaborative and wonderful set of team members and staff to shepherd we can move forward. >> thank you and congratulations on working with that group to make sure they're okay with that also (laughter.) >> thank you. okay. we have motion and second. >> all in favor, say "aye." >> aye. >> any opposed? motion passes unanimously resolution 23-15 is

background. and port staff at the direction of state of emergency hof hsh and the department of public health to have r v for unhouse people and 91 trailers provided by california and across the city were placed along with trailers for administrative functions the mou extensions on april 13th and was to expire on october 31st, 2021, or upon the mares lifting of state of emergency and the mayor issued that on february 28, 2023. and at the location of site is industrial and the use was intend to be short time and temporary therefore the original agreement that didn't have a hold over

provision and currently no active agreement at the site. next slide, please. the mou was san francisco department of homelessness & supportive housing, hsh the original agreement was a the new agreement is going to be with hsa the site is ended in 2021 and hsh has been operating that site but again, the mou will be with hsh for a term of 10 messes months and retrospectively to cover the wind down and demobilization the site and a little bit over 90 thousand a month. next slide, please. it is part of the conditions of the mou no new placement will be

introduce emily cohen with san francisco department of homelessness & supportive housing and after emilys presentation will be i'm available for any questions that you may have. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> good afternoon, commissioners and president brandon and vice president adams and commissioners, thank you i'm emily with the department of homelessness & supportive housing. and i will be having a brief presentation on the trailer at pier 94. so as kim mentioned the program opened at the beginning of covid 19 in april of 2020 and served three hundred plus guests 78 and 37 guests have moved oust this presents the good parts of the

situation at the beginning the covid 19 many departments came together and in the bay view and opened this with help in the state of and wouldn't have done it without the staff and appreciate everyone for ultimate team effort with the projects and open in ground breaking time. and in terms of the impact on people xroerng homelessness we have three hundred guests of last week and one hundred and 18 guests currently on-site with one hundred and 14 units are still in operation. the onsite. >> 14. pulled consent agenda items. working closely with the adult protective services and the and dos to provide the onsite 24/7 staff security on

the sites. and to talk about those amenities you see a picture the site. this program offered an opportunity to provide non-spaces for those o people that living in extents in the neighborhood and isolated and able to provide showers in the r v and local pumping and pumping service and weekly maintenance two meals a day and laundry and we added a shuttle service so people could can get to other places they need to be. and a little bit of demographics of the folks have been served at the site. you'll see the majority of guests were at the age of 45 and 70 percent of

guests were african-american or black and the vast majority of those guests were brought in by outreach workers and similar to the breakdown of the people experiencing homelessness generally 66 percent of our guests were male. and one percent transgender and 20 others. and the won't right the good neighborhood policy but this is included in the mou. and we do provide quarterly report to the port on incidents as well as the current guests and the housing placement. this is just a quick success story we have an opportunity in our view a woman

that lived in the but been homeless on the streets of bay view over 13 years and has role lost hope and had lost connections with ongoing care and she and her husband were brought if by the outreach team to the trailer program and were welcomed with a hot shower and hot meals and the support of staff and really became a part of the community that was when her husband suffered a hear attack. so susan is now moving into housing and has moved into housing at mission bay. one of the projects and able to take care of her husband because of

support she received they trailer program. >> and demobilization as kim mentioned requesting the new mou to continue operation we can reasonably and deliverability wind down the project and make sure that the people have safe alternative places to go. and this is redundant to what kim mentioned but the process is the timeline of guests identification and have the team onsite to finish the work and make sure that everyone has a house and move guest eligible into permanent housing and those might not be eligible for housing work to make sure the placement in a shelter and interested because some of the folks are from the area to make

sure we offer them shelter in the area. and will work with the public works and the vendors to removal whatever (unintelligible). >> and kind of already said all of that but as of last week, we have one hundred and 18 active guests on-site and 59 are eligible for permanent housing and 8 for financial violence and 51 guests are still - that work will be happening over the next month's and i'm available for any questions that you may have. >> thank you. >> thank you. emily and kingdom for the presentation. >> any public comment in the room. >> alice. >> good afternoon, commissioners i'm alice rogers and i actually not familiar with that site but wanted to take the

opportunity to say that um, what great partners hsh and the port has been around visible shelter situations i serve on the advisory group in the embarcadero and ca am impressed by the number of hours that those agencies role devote behind the scene to make things work but really because of the work that t the staff has been doing behind the scenes. >> thank you. >> and any others public comment in the room? >> all right. anyone on the

phone? >> no one on the phone at this time wishing to make public comment. >> thank you commissioner gilman. >> um, thank you for the report any questions? are for hsh support staff before i ask my questions i want to frame as commissioner for the port and at franciscan and first of all, commend the port for stepping up and two 0 it navigation soekts on the property and didn't skip a beat in approving that that the pandemic and full support for the facilities like this even if we have the opportunity for supportive housing but i guess emily the question i'm actually confused not about the extension of 0 mou but the fact we demobilize over one hundred interim housing sites we have thousands and thousands of

people still on the street and with the rent of having folks put that into the waterfront neighborhood. when the demobilization happened i don't understand why? >> rebecca i'll try to answer that owe kim just this in so the site as you can see not for residential that is intended to be a temporary use we have been working with potential tenants for the background that is primarily an industrial attach location and looking at maifrm industrial and support for offshore wind for the companies to come in so emily would love to - to stay as is long as possible we have been growled do work with emily they don't a tremendous job and really our own this particular site able to

have that back for industrial for all intents and purposes but looking at forward to working with p them and impressed as alice said and thank you,- >> (multiple voices). >> i wanted. >> (multiple voices.) >> and wanted to echo what rebecca said the demobilization so the port stepped in during the pandemic we prepared the trailer with the maintenance team in record time and hsh got that site ready but had to be a temporary site that was our marine facility and to our and my director's report i talked about all the varies opportunities for maifrment and other opportunities

critical for san francisco and absolutely the city is supporting the port for the facilities and it is important for the city of the industrial locations and emily is working at our request 100 percent not elies request for hsh. >> thank you. director for clarifying\that i racial inequity that a temporary use we we can reclaim that the goals are supportive of that my concern just role was support the 37 guests a beautiful figure but 11 percent placement no housing my concern the neighborhood we have so much happening the power plant will start we have a development and the blue gateway my concern individual calls this neighborhood their home and not

linked to permanent housing resources my concern is that we're going to see encampments in other ways for folks to live, you know, that also effects the interests and that's where the questioning was going i think we have morale responsibility to make sure those individuals are a secure place to lay their head and the port responsibility is the - i wanted to understand where this is coming from i appreciate the clarification. so emily will you keep the trailers and move to another site. >> we've not identified but we will be working with the state to determine - we're doing an adjustment of the conditions and we'll be looking for other properties what communities have

done this is my primary concern as well we have been working other than - we're approaching to wind down the is that you with the sheltering in place through the concerned efforts so much higher than a typical process not a lot of families are helped we've not done that push yet they'll be invited and we'll again, that brothers with 59 determined for housed that is confident we can get them into a rental subsidy will be hopefully and conversations with the team that many folks will be eligible for supportive housing or for a housing voucher that is good for the wind down process and folks

not we'll, offers with the bay view and shore if at the point to stay in the neighborhoods are will have that function. and do this as responsibly as possible. >> okay. i have one other question. um, so, you know, i - i wanted to see of it's up for us to keep the trailers for the state mandate i want to say i hope the department choose to keep them a valuable resource and can be placed in many locations to um, you know, to you don't know to fisherman's wharf we need to have a crisis on our streets and we see it

right cross here we know that folks are not housed i hope we're committed to the housing conditions. >> i support the extension and support absolutely respect that the port we need our property back for our own goals and initiatives particularly in the bay waterfront we are doing more but not giving away valuable resources can have other communities and other parts of san francisco to step up particularity the west side and house those brothers and sisters and we need more not less but for f this tiff project is challenging we've been looking at they west side for trailers and parking places over a year

without muck luck new know private/public partnership options for this text me call me off lion but we're looking for parcels like this. >> thanks >> thank you. >> commissioner lee. >> (clearing throat) well seems so important for people to get it together i know a shortage we can't keep it going but the process and environmental issues but i'm supportive but hope we can find another location i think that trailer parks are good giving a chance to choose good luck. >> if you know of any parcels available let emily know

(laughter). >> i wish. >> thank you. >> vice president adams. >> thank you, kim and emily, thank you i want to thank the mayor's leadership and listening to this wow. >> i have not forgotten that ronald reagan was governor shut down did hospitals in california and sad to see that 70 percent of the people were black and how percentage of them love probably - and i remember president brandon was gone on vacation but a navigate center across the street ass alice recommends reminds that day that was exciting but and sometime we

worried about 80 percent of those will never happen but got it through that day and good to see we are able to give me one thing i like what was happened here bus everyone is always on the accusing what are you doing when anyone is watching that goes to the is where i get and emily i see what you're saying we have doing everything we can and sometimes maybe this choose us. so be that have a morale and responsibility to do all we can so i appreciate and i'm supportive, however, this thing moved with the fellow commissioners asked good questions but would tell montana

do ever think you're above something bad happening or situations are a heart attack or stroke everyone had a story some people were very, very successful so don't under estimate we have been an going to help. >> emily and kim thank you for the presentation emily i don't envy you in our role. because like nobody is happy all the time everyone has their challenges and i think the port has been stroll supportive of hsh and, you know, with the two navigation centers one of the trailer the r v park and, you know, i wish were more we could

do because it is huge issue but and some how we have a all together and speak to us and we have to take care of we all have to do something we can't be concentrated in one area. you know, there are homeless people all over san francisco. and so this is judge from my knowledge we have we have to decrease the trailers but now covid 19 is over so are those at full capacity? do we have room to take in more? >> thank you for the question president brandon. >> across our shelters we reduced the capacity dramatically at the beginning the covid 19 and moved folks to

- to hotels and merely back to where we were were covid 19 in terms of expansion more work to do in the embarcadero to expand but the beds are back online we've been expanding that property again up to a full 30e7b8 or potential not achieved still in the ramps of covid 19 but other than we are pretty much fully back to our precovid 19. >> what do we need to do with the embarcadero? >> put people in them. >> absolutely. >> go ahead, go ahead go ahead. >> the question i have can we - we read stories in the chronicle people are accepting the navigation centers? >> and have you invested so much in. >> we have a pubically available dashboard to track it

availability and you'll see it fluctuates but today or monday it was about 90 percent full. so and that's across the entire shelters system we want to make sure we have enough slack to make sure the homeless team has the best to offer folks we don't want to drop below 85 or 90 percent and one preference for this for the trailers people are still accepting those as well. >> thank you emily. >> vice president adams. >> well, i think, you know, we need to point out this is just not a problem here. in san francisco. outcome commissions in d.c. and sacramento and it is seattle and it is many portland and los angeles county and the

mayor race been in in los angeles one of the largest cross the country 0 there's an issue are homeless. we can't escape the politicians a lot of politicians talk about that the area race and stuff like that but something that plagued this country and really we're the richest nation in the world and ought to be ashamed of ourselves, we, you know, do better we can do better. >> fdr said that best you, you have beds and don't be cruel it is form of being cruel. >> thank you. any other comments questions? recommendations? >> (laughter) thank you, emily. >> we look forward to seeing you on the 25 and okay. next

prospered, homeowners it was thriving for the african-american community. where bayview became the center points for african-american homeownership. >> with the shipyard closing, a lot of jobs left and with the maritime shipping leaving throughout the state. african-americans moved out of san francisco, which was the population is 4% or less of african-americans where 20 years ago it may have been 20%. here the port of san francisco we tried to create many opportunities for are african-americans to participate in contracting in development and jobs. i'm kay book the founder of coffee company. recently opened the flagship

coffee shop. this is a full circle for mow to have opened a new cafe here at the port. also like being welcomed back home again. >> port is the first place they was able to bid and win an opinion contract as a small business owner. when we think about the business of the port, and the maritime, right, that history is really continuing to extend itself in the way they engage with black businesses, black people and other diverse communities that are situated along the waterfront and as we move inward. >> we are looking now at the port of rejuvenating the community. bringing back a kind of economic sip lutz so that the people can go back to the lives they were so well adopted to and building homes and creating families and having churches that were filled. >> i toured crane cove park it is absolutely amazing.

this will be a wonderful addition to san francisco. >> i think it is amazing after having conversations with folk who is live in the community and have been excited and waiting for this p to be realized for years, walking around, seeings the connections to history. the opportunity for folks to utilize the water here is going to be an amazing opportunity for all the families and community and i can't wait for the diversity of opportunity we will see here. >> i'm in the crowd and i'm the owner and founder of spin out fit knows. port reached out to me recently and said they would love to spin out fitness a per of this plan going to 2025. that will be the beginning of you know, this redevelopment of this southern part of san francisco. which is going to be a fantastic. i'm excited about that. >> mission rock is 13 years of city planning and community input to transform a surface

parking lot south of the park to a new neighborhood. it will transfurthermore this area into 1200 homes 40% will be affordable and this is something this we are all excited and proud of. >> having been in the industry for 17 years and seeing a lack of diversity when i joined the port, that was the first thing that i saw that there is a lot of diversity and leadership from the commission. and down through the executive team and then throughout our port. director forbes, commission they have done a good job of making sure the port team reflects not only the city but the people of san francisco and those who visit our water front >> the community. city and private cities working together we with bring the port back to the economic stimulus

for people who live here. >> it is important that -- everyone have a role at the port of san francisco and everybody feels welcome >> the city has undertaken a pilot program to hook up private privately -- owned hotels. >> the community members say this is helpful for them especially for the seniors and families with kids from seniors being able to connect with the family during the pandemic and too watch the news has been really helpful during this time where they are stuck inside and

are not able to go outside. for families it is important to stay connected to go to school, to get connected so they can submit resumes to find jobs during the pandemic. [speaking foreign language] >> challenges that might seem for the fiber in chinatown is pretty congested. the fiber team found ways around that. they would have to do things such as overnight work in the manholes to get across through busy intersections, and i think the last challenge is a lot of buildings we worked on were built in the early 1900s and

they are not fitted with the typical infrastructure you would put in a new building. we overcame that with creative ideas, and we continue to connect more sites like this. >> high-speed internet has become a lifesaver in the modern era. i am delighted that we completed three buildings or in the process of completing two more. i want to thank our department of technology that has done this by themselves. it is not contracted out. it is done by city employees. i am proud and i want to take a moment to celebrate what we are doing.

>> i'm a project manager at department of technology. i like the roll because i get to work with a variety of different projects and the people i work with, the space i work, telecom, wifi, the work that interest me a lot, and the service you are providing to the different departments. i say the most significant barrier, especially early in my career was getting the trust and the credibility in the work space. i feel i'm

lucky and blessed to have been given the opportunity to work in this space. i feel if you have a good mentor and support group that will help in the journey. in my family i'm the first lady who got the opportunity to go to graduate school, and i feel that was a major break-through and a blessing for me. especially i come from a family of doctors and engineers so being the first lady to go to graduate school-my mother is the biggest source of inspiration and strength. she encouraged me to go to school and study hard and i do it no matter what and always there for me. i would say to my younger self-that time is pressure precious and be aware how you spend it. early on in life finguring what your priorities are,

managing your time accordingly, investing your time in the things that matter to you, because that grows and you want to-when you are young you have time on your side so you want to make the right choices. you want to understand what you want out of life, prioritize accordingly and go from there. and love what you do and the rest will follow. >> shared spaces have transformed san francisco's adjacent sidewalks, local business communities are more resilient and their neighborhood centers are more vibrant and mildly. sidewalks and parking lanes can be used for outdoor seating, dining, merchandising,

and other community activities. we're counting on operators of shared spaces to ensure their sites are safe and accessible for all. people with disabilities enjoy all types of spaces. please provide at least 8 feet of open uninterrupted sidewalk so everyone can get through. sidewalk diverter let those who have low vision navigate through dining and other activity areas on the sidewalk. these devices are rectangular planters or boxes that are placed on the sidewalk at the ends of each shared space and need to be at least 12 inches wide and 24 inches long and 30 inches tall. they can be on wheels to make it easy to bring in and out at the start and the end of each day. but during business hours, they should be stationary and secure. please provide at least one wheelchair accessible dining table in your shared space so

the disability people can patronize your business. to ensure that wheelchair users can get to the wheelchair accessible area in the park area, provide an adequate ramp or parklet ramps are even with the curb. nobody wants to trip or get stuck. cable covers or cable ramps can create tripping hazards and difficulties for wheelchair users so they are not permitted on sidewalks. instead, electrical cables should run overhead at least ten feet above sidewalk. these updates to the shared spaces program will help to ensure safety and accessibility for everyone, so that we can all enjoy these public spaces. more information is available at sf.govt/shared

him and he called us up one night and said i'm going to sell the ice cream store what you you talking about diane came and looked at the store and something we want to do and had a history of her dad here and growing up here at the ice cream store we decided to take that business on. >> and have it in the family i didn't want to sell it. >> to keep it here in san francisco. >> and (unintelligible). >> share worked there and worked with all the people and a lot of customers come in. >> a round hill in the adjoining areas loved neither ice cream shop in this area and support russia hills and have

clean up day and give them free ice cream because that is those are the people that keep us the opportunity to stick around here four so many years next generations have been coming her 20 er thirty or 40 years and we have the ingredients something it sold and, you know, her dad said to treat the customers right and people will keep on coming back and 75 or 74 years, you know, that is quite an accomplishment i think of it as our first 75 years and like to see that, you know, going into the future um, that ice cream shop will be around used to be 4 hundred in the united states and

all gone equipment for that one that is the first and last we're proud of that we're still standing and people people are you tell people it's been around in 50 years and don't plan on

>> all right. what an exciting building. where all my department people? supervisor, welcome. >> okay. how are you? >> first of all, thank you all for being here a.m. san

francisco mayor breed. and we are here at a building and a place that has been i would say decades in the making. many of us struggle with the bureaucracy of the city and the frustration around the bureaucracy. i gotta admit a lot to do with the laws created at the board of supervisors including i did not create those complicated laws only lus to get rid of bureaucracy and happy top have supervisor engardio joining us here today because he, too, is someone who care busy making things easier for people to do business with the city and county of san francisco. you know what is frustrating is how hard when you have to do thing in a permit center or apply for things and you go through the process and not only does the city make it too difficult for to you go throughout press they make you pay for it. and part of what i wanted to do

with a lot of changes to our structure is to the try to clear out the bureaucracy, make it easy approximate simple. i remember when i was on the board of supervisors and every year we would honor small businesses. what was interesting is most of those small businesses could not necessary low come and sit in the chamber all day because in many case they were the 1 who is owned the business and ran the business. and part of what we have done in 2020 which i was proud of exit know an initial mall business ordinance are joining us here today; i think ben was a part of the commercial got fame from us this commercial when we introduced and put prospect heart attack on the ballot to stream line the process for small businesses in san francisco. and let me tell you what that means. during the pandemic, so many businesses had to pivot from being one business to another in

order to survive. in the past, before prospect h, it could take months. sometimes up to 2 years and at the same time when you are trying to go from for example, a clothing hop to a cafe or another use. the process it would take to do that while you are still paying rent, still paying water bill, still paying electric and the city all the fees and everything else, you are not generating money and the process is just really set up to see our businesses fail. so when we talk about how we care about mall businesses, what is most important to me is to make sure that we are listening to those same small businesses and impelementing the change to make it easier. now we are seeing extraordinary things happen. pandemic challenged us like never before am many of the businesses specific low with our mall business this is have

comellow the doors to make changes to their businesses, they went from waiting months and sometimes 2 years to change their use to doing it over the counter within a day. because that is how it should be. if you want to change for example, from a clothing shop to a coffee shop and want a change in use and it is permit in the that neighborhood, why do you have to go through a lengthy press to do it? you shouldn't. you should be able to move forward that's number one. you know what i'm talking b. you are like all i want to do is sell plants now the pandemic everybody is a plant parent. so i want to sell plant and coffee and sometimes you could not do that in the same location. and those other things we need to change. we need to get creative. we need to make it easy for people to do business in the san francisco and especially when we

talk about how much we support small businesses and on top of that, when we see in many of our neighborhood/commercial corridors. we see many vacancies. when i was on the board, i go back because of my relationship with small businesses, i remember this one ice cream place that had to wait over 2 years. had to continue to pay rent and the final straw that almost broke the camel's back a 250 thousand dollars bill this will needed to be paid up front to turn on the water. and i thought, this is criminal. for a small business to come up with all this money. mall businesses that don't have investors in some case. this need to hire staff. and what i was proud of last year is when we along with the board of supervisors introduced money in the budget to allow for the first year free. so we are waiving all of the

various fees -- for people who want to start their businesses and bill, who has a great thai restaurant will talk about her experience and being able to benefit from that program. but the point is, we are trying to make the city work efficiently. we know we are not perfect. it has been working a bit inefficient for a time. and i than it has been challenging for a lot of the city workers here because when they are doing is they are following the law this is we introduce this we get paddled. and they are doing the best jobs they can to provide you with as much information to make sure that you get through this process efficiently so you do what you need to do with plans to open your business. deal with housing, or had have you. i want to thank the various city agencies and departments and

employees here today from the help desk to many of the folks with the hole crew up there. many of the people who work for the planning departmentful department of building inspection. from small business commission. the fire department. there are so many layers to this. now we have reproductive services in this building. i don't know but, all the things you want printed and printed right away instead of going to another building you get it here >> went from 5 building guess here and mission street to having a one stop shop in this building. and it is amazing. i'm so happy. i know everything is not perfect. so i strongly suggest that as you go through this process if there are suggestions that anyone wants it make our small businesses here today. feel free. in the meantime know the goal of this center has everything to do with efficiency.

and i want to appreciate rodney fong with the sudden fran chamber of commerce. ma sud with council district merchants. so many small business leaders and folks from every walks of life. people manny on the mt aboard but owns a great cafe. and we got so many people who want to see businesses in san francisco succeed. they have been an important part of providing feedback, making the recommendations and now we are implementing many of the ideas to make sure that business is successful in san francisco. and -- that also includes the director of small business who used to be a supervisor who is also an important part of make happening recommendations to change policies to make it easy. i want to thank katy tang for her work with the mall business commission. [applause]. and i want to say to the

assessor recorder joaquin torres don't reassess people and get more money. in taxes from our small businesses. let them have time to do well for a couple years before you go and ask them for more money. can you commit to that? [laughter] assessor recorder joaquin torres. the point of us here today is to celebrate the success this is we made in order to make adjustments to mech it easier to do small businesses. i also. to take a moment before i introduce our city add administrator carmen chu to just also mention the housing for all plan. because this is a center not just for mall businesses but i center people will come to get permits and the things than i need for so many things if you want a picnic and birthday party, you get this is one stop shop permitting. a festival, this is where you

come. it is also the accomplice people come who are building housing or -- doing some stuff to their homes and all the different things. in san francisco we have a plan housing for all and we are going to push forward a number of changes to make it more efficient to get the plans approved and get housing built firefighter in san francisco. we have a requirement under the state to build 82,000 units of housing in san francisco in the next 8 years. you know what that means if we do this right? that means the city employees who work in this permit center can ford to live in san francisco. [applause] some of the people coming can live in san francisco if we do this right and make it efficiently we cut become on the costs. we create an influx of housing. have 50,000 units already

approved in the pipeline and we have to make it easier and starts with our city bureaucracy, permitting process and everything we need to do to get san francisco on the right path. more how longs built. small businesses open and make people happy when they leave the doors and feel that when they are opening their business and doing anything in san francisco they feel good about how this process works. and this process was not about saying, no to everything. it was getting to yes and ensuring the success of small businesses, housing and everything we do that makes san francisco an amazing city for all of us to enjoy. and with that i want to introduce next up, our city add administrator, carmen chu. [applause]. >> thank you, mayor breed i want to thank everybody who joined us and especially our mir for her vision and her steadfast focus

process that we have and how people are able to get a building permit. get different business permits and approvals to open up and dot things they want top do in the city is really hard. people went to 5 different building in the city. whether city hall or 1155 market street or 1650 or 1650 mission. people were going all over to open a business. we have 13 departments. there are now colocated here in the permit center. this one stop shop is the beginning. the idea is simple. bring together all of the different departments and the different processes that are involved in permit nothing one house, one space so you don't have to be thrown around the city to figure out how to get your work done. but not only that, make sure that when people are together we figure out a way to help our departments collaborate. speak better and figure out how we remove all the impedimentses

and presses we layered on. the process we have now was not manage that was done over night. it was done through decades of new processes that got layered upon each other. layers of different lus that got put in decade by decade. we have to look and do the nerdy work of figure outside what was is broken. where bottle necks are and removing those so you get your stores open earlier and homes built and make sure we have a thriving san francisco. i thank the folks that made this possible. but know this this is the first install am of our commitment to make sure or processes are better. with that i want to introduce a champion to the causes supervisor joel engardio.
