generally, bcdc has a broad ownership of the waterfront. in the open water areas, they are responsible for phil, public access to the day, any new docks or pile-supported structures, gooding activity, open water activities, changes in use and any construction remodeling or repair of the structure. pretty much anything significant that the board does require the permission from bcdc. with respect to the cruise terminal, i am going to get into some of the major public benefits that the court agreed would be provided to the pier 27 location. in essence, the project changes how we need to approach the public benefit package. we are here today to seek your approval for a negotiated agreement with bcdc to amend their cost plans. now i want to get into what their plans call for within the pier 27 plan. you can see on the map smaltite -- i apologize to the public for that. north of the ferry building at piers 19 through29, bcdc called for the following major public benefits. one, for the front portion of the pier 27 shed along the embarcadero to be
