the navy will use a comprehensive parcel g work plan as the model for future work plans for parcels b, c, d-2, e, uc-1, uc-2, and uc-3. these work plans will provide for comprehensive investigations and required remediation if necessary. we look forward to starting field work in parcel g once the final work plan is complete. we are grateful to our regulatory partners and stakeholders for their constructive participation in the work plan development and to congress woman pelosi for her support in securing additional funding for fiscal year 2019. since our last discussion, the navy has also supported the california department of public health in its efforts to complete a health and safety scan of parcel a. 90% of scanning activities across parcel a-1, totaling 56 acres, have been completed. the information collected continues to confirm that the area was not used for work involving radiological materials. the scan did not find any soil contamination or evidence of radiological activities. most importantly, the scan's extremely detailed and sensitive methodology reinforced the fact that

>> with respect to parcel g or a? >> president cohen: parcel a. >> parcel a is only being evaluated by california department of public-health. >> president cohen: as it relates -- i don't know what that means. a cheerleader? >> we think it's a go ahead approach because there were concerns expressed by the residents and by going back and retesting it, it will provide information to either prove or disprove that there was contamination left. >> president cohen: parcel g? >> parcel g is a complete retesting of all the areas that tetratech conducted sampling. our role is to make sure that the retesting is conducted, consistent with the work plan that is now being revised and released at the end of the month. >> president cohen: and so, what will you be reviewing with public-health? >> so the department of public-health will be our agent for addressing the radio nucli and they could be being split samples along with the navy so that they can they can analyze the analysis is done properly. we've also considered and recommen

we're an extra pair of eyes and you've heard how this is playing out with parcel g and parcel a. one important thing to realize about parcel a, is even though parcel a was transferred in 2004, that if any issue comes up, the navy still has the responsibility to work with other regulators to make sure that things get taken care of. >> president cohen: thank you. i just do have one question. what would be our department's role in providing the feedback. communicating to the neighbors, why there's a work plan and what it hopes to accomplish? why people should be paying attention. the importance of this work plan related to parcel g? >> so we independently review the work plan separate from e.p.a. so we also provided our comments based on the consultants we higher. we have our own health physicist to review everything. right now we're deep into planning on how we'll reach out to the community. we're going to develop a website. we're developing materials. we want to make sure the community is not only learning about what is happening in the shipyard but they're also aware of the other

you are right, the parcel shouldn't be in here they can a the map and pull the parcel out. >> the urban watershed assessment is online? it feels like that would be an important document four residents to be able to look at. they are in the watershed, for example. >> the urban watershed assessment information attained in all you have the features, the curbs and the areas and the slopes and all of that stuff have been placed into the model -- into the model so that it knows all you have this information? that was what i was saying. based off that information and effort we went through to do that assessment, we incorporate in the model. >> i understand. i did two things. i went to the website as we were talking and i didn't see the urban watershed assessment. that is the first thing to look at to see if my house is in the urban watershed. then i went to sf water.org you and that link didn't work either. it iit is important for resideno have a first step to go to online or two steps which would be the assessment and floodway site like me to be my house on the map? so the watershed assessmen

just to give you a parcel background. the parcel developer is heinz urban pacific and goldman sachs. it's the same developer as block 4. the purchase of parcel f was conditioned upon the developer obtaining an option to purchase block 4. parcel f is now in the approval process, with planning. it consists of 170 residential units, a hotel and office. ocii has approval rights over the parcel f residential component. due to the high homeowners association fees planned for parcel f, it is the developers' intent to off site the inclusionary housing units to block 4. the transbay redevelopment plan does not allow off siding of inclusionary unit so this will require a variation to the transbay development controls, which must be approved by the commission in the future. the ocii commission approved the block 4 option back in 2016. the term of the option expires in october of 2018. the land purchase price is $45 million subject to negotiations or appraisal based on the final terms of the deal. the option requires the developer to

federal authorities arresting a suspect in connection with the parcel bombs just north of miami.ment officers surrounded a white van emblazoned with pro—trump stickers. the president and his vice president, mike pence, and more threateningly, crosshairs over the faces of hillary clinton and barack obama, two democrats targeted with crude bombs. the suspect is 56—year—old cesar sayoc, a registered republican who's evidently a devoted supporter of donald trump. on social media, the former strip club worker posted shots of himself at trump rallies, and this is him at donald trump's inauguration — wearing a make america great again cap. oh, yeah, donald] trump! next president of the united states! he also posted videos of himself listening to donald trump. trump: you take a look at these people. you study these people... the president's attorney general announced sayoc has been charged with five federal crimes. let this be a lesson to anyone, regardless of their political beliefs, that we will bring the full force of law against anyone who attempts to use threats, intimidation and ou

it's still again in parcel a, but it's a lengthy process, so we want to start the process. and then, the next two items, marketing outcomes, and we have sam simms here to speak to those. [inaudible] >> but this was ownership -- a home ownership program, and that was impressive, that we had two c.o.p. holders, and it's out of the nine inclusionary units within the building. also, 51, 52 innes. it's for sale, and we don't want to see fore sale units very often. if you have any other questions, we're available to respond. we now have an extensive marketing outreach program, and you can see that in the staff materials that's provided. so if you have any additional questions, we can answer them, as well. >> great, thank you. commissioner rosales? >> yes, thank you, vice chair bustos. i do have a couple questions for pam. this was excited, i have to say. you know, when i'm reading this, i'm very touched by the fact that our efforts are incrementally making a different in people's life. i want to commend everybody, not only the staff but the city in achieving these results. the pa

we're here today about the box in blue which is the future parcel, one of the first sites that will be sold for market rate housing development at pier 70, and it generates much needed proceeds to pay for project entitlement costs. specifically, we're here today to vacate a 12-foot strip, excess strip of michigan street, which would remove the street designation, allow for a larger development parcel and pave the way for a new street and sidewalk. so on left, before the straeet vacation, we have an extra wide michigan street, which will be a one block straight with parcel k on one side and a historic core on the right. after the street vacation and a subsequent action by the board to approve a transfer map, michigan street will be narrowed. part of it will be conjoined with parcel k north through the transfer map, and part of it will be added to the historic core. there's actually a historic building that encroaches a little bit out in the street today. following -- if this committee recommends the street ordinance and the board approves it, after that action, a final transfer map woul

in january , the board of supervisors would consider the parcel k north transaction, and in february , the transaction would close. and with that, concludes my presentation. i'm here to answer any questions you may have. >> supervisor tang: thank you, mr. benson. the diagrams were very helpful, and colleagues, any questions or comments? okay? no? seeing none, then we're going to open up item one to public comment. any members of the public who wish to speak on this item? okay. seeing none, public comment is closed. colleagues, can we get a motion on item one? okay. so we'll move it forward to the full board with a positive recommendation without objection. item 2 [agenda item read] >> supervisor tang: thank you. we have representatives from the p.u.c. here today, i believe. >> good afternoon, supervisors. i'm jamie sidell. i believe you have my presentation in your packet. i can go through it if you'd like me to or jump to questions tappi . >> supervisor tang: sure. why don't you go through the presentation. thank you. >> so the way it is now, sfpuc has owned solar generation, and we

and parcel a did not have historical use of radiation. now the testing which was a scanning, hasn't found anything except for this one deck marker and the deck marker was outside and 50 yards away from any housing and underneath and the amount of radiation that was coming from the ground is a very small amount. to give you an idea of how small the radiation coming out, you'd have to be next to it for 39 hours to get the equivalent of one flight to the east coast and because it was fenced off and no house construction, it was the other road, there was no chance of anybody being exposed. so what we're advocating is to continue doing the scanning because it's providing the reassurance to the residents that the area is clean and they've done all the outside areas and we're advocating they go ahead and do the inside areas on the surface. they're working out the technical issues. the california department of public health has also agreed to do desk swipes because people are concerned. and the last thing i want to point out that provides reassur

i have asked all the key sites dedicate a portion of their parcel to housing. affordable or market rate. there's seven key sites. six with plans before the commission and staff in our office. one that has not decided at all what they will do with their key site. this is the only site of the six that currently does not have housing included in their plan and every key site should be providing some housing to contribute. i think there's already a tremendous a lot of linkage and nextus that is discussed about the need to build more housing as we create more jobs within the city and county of san francisco. >> i understand the goal here. i'm just wondering, because we had heard about this project, i got briefed on it many years ago. and so, at this point in time, is that something that the project sponsors are going to be able to do? given that we're now just making this amendment and again, they've been planning for this for quite a while without housing? >> i just have to say to all of our developers and project sponsors that there's no guarantee of a project unt

the expectation is to have those parcels would be ownership at 50 units and the third parcel would be a 100% affordable rental property at 130 units. >> supervisor tang: what is the percentage of two and three-bedroom units required in the affordable and in the market rate? >> the percentage -- i'm sorry the percentage of the number of units? >> supervisor tang: two and three budget -- two and three bedroom units. >> is a 25% for the two bedroom -- i'm sorry. what? >> supervisor tang: i could not find this on the d.a., as well. >> i can't remember. the number of two and three bedrooms. >> supervisor tang: about 35% of units are two and three bedrooms. and the affordable and the market right? >> they will have to match. >> supervisor tang: about 35%. can you give me an accurate number? >> there is about a split. >> supervisor tang: ok great. if we can confirm, that would be great. i feel very uncomfortable with this very flexible open menu of affordable housing. i do think they percentage is quite high, to be honest, particularly given the district that this development is going into a

at at says that build would be developed approximately 29.26 acres of privately and publicly owned parcels. maybe i just need to better understand how that is broken apart. and if it is just parks on their portion, that is fine. >> they will be building parks on their land and dedicating it to the city at no cost. >> supervisor tang: ok. a great. >> since you are bringing up some housing issues, which i think are global and extendable beyond this project, i was going to say a couple of words about our thinking in terms of getting back to the housing package. you will see a similar thinking coming to some of the future projects coming towards you. as you know we are getting into projects that we will be bringing it that are mostly private, and somewhat some office to continue to -- contribute to jobs. this one will not. we are having to be more conservative with her out jewish -- with our asks. and we did run numbers and look at the project performance and where we are with this project is at about a 5.2% return on cost. our experts tell us that at 5.5% and above you will get capital to bui

justice department has charged a man over the recent wave of parcel bombs targeting senior political figures officials identified says also from his fingerprints and d.n.a. on one of the envelopes he allegedly sent it since being revealed he had a number of previous convictions the media's been stressing the suspects strong support for donald trump. this is the face police have tied to the anonymous explosive devices bill this week to prominent democrats and apparently mad bomber has been targeting president trump's favorite targets for his invective cesar say they are calling sign this is c.n.n. socks as well as a lot of other nonsense and there he is at a trump rally of the fifty six year old florida resident today was arrested and charged with sending a series of explosive devices. fifty six year old is indeed known to be a trump supporter and one with a substantial criminal record previously convicted eight times including for coffee if found guilty of the attempted parcel bombings he could face up to fifty eight years in jail president trump in turn has condemned the incident we

as you know it's packages and parcels. we've seen double digit growth in that business for some time. we have half the number of mail processing centers in the country we had ten years ago. we have roughly half the full-time employees we had ten years ago. we have about a third less full-time postal services. the question is for some of us are the products handled by the postal service, are they pay your way? does that raise concerns about packages and parcels especially focussed on amazon they're not paying their way. i'm told by the postal service they made $6 or $7 billion on parcels. that ain't a bad piece of business. how do we continue to grow that? i want to just note for years we've been coming back to a major problem for the postal service in how do they pay for offset the costs of health care costs for their retires. and that's been an issue faced by states, faced while i was governor, it's faced by businesses, as well. most state and local governments put almost nothing aside in order to meet the obligation for

your agency role, and then, your responsibility in the parcel g work plan. all right, kimberly, you're up. come on down. good toe

the reason that the flower mart project corner is so significant to both is that it is a large parcel. it would be 300,000 feet of office space which makes it a balance just makes the balance that much worse where it could be 200 units of housing. if the kilroy company had followed the same practice as three of the other key site developers are doing and commit to donating -- receiving the value of what they paid for it, that parcel could afford affordable housing. to be 200 more units of affordable housing than the plan now contains. clearly that is better outcomes in the big picture. we support that. the hotel site, we support their change that allows the developments because that developer has secured west of sixth street in south of market a site that they are prepared to give to the city, likewise for development of future affordable housing. that project is on a win-win. the flower mart should follow the same path. thank you. >> thank you. any other members of the public who wish to comment on items 11- 15? public comment is closed. >> thank you. i did forget to mention a little

service arts light industrial parcels. under existing law which is not permitted. this applies particularly to parcels that are undeveloped and contain no existing structures as well as on surface parking lots that have no existing building. but we had to provide some cleanup language to make sure that guard stations, kiosks and small buildings under a hundred square feet for billboard advertising signs were not interpreted as structures. i do have two more amendments that i would like to make to this ordinance today and colleagues, i have sent out distributed copies of these amendments. it is a change on page 6 and 2 -- tata -- two or. and then on page 6, adding two lines 24, will make explicit structures that are accessory to parking -- parking lot to use such as those providing general advertising signs. we feel this is already encapsulated within the ordinance. it is to make it even clearer if there were any debates about what the intent was so there is no question that general advertising signs are also included and t

it also addresses the ship of opioid drugs and provides for additional tracking of parcels. in most cases suspect parcels are coming from china and the extent were able to better track packages, figure out where they're coming from, we can interdict the ship and then also work with the chinese in agents overseas to identify sources of supply and if they want to help a lot done around to hold these folks accountable. we believe it can prove beyond a reasonable doubt. in many cases were not going to be able to get them extradited to china, but other collateral consequences if they travel to countries they risk being extradited to the u.s. they also said sanctions and these people are on the business of making money and so that has an immediate impact separate and apart from whether they are ultimately prosecuted and we do hope will someday return to court in hold them accountable for the consequences which include deaths of american citizens. additional reporting of suspicious transactions for the collection of data or the dea and sharing of that data with their state and loca
