so treasure island and yerba buena were originally constructed in 1937 as a works projects. treasure island is a 400-acre man-made island. the navy built the island in increments, so the infrastructure is tied together -- what is the best word? not the most rational layout. entirely new infrastructure systems will need to be provided before any development takes place. in addition to the wet/dry utility, there is approximately $140 million retrofit program and the possibility -- to guard against the possibility of tsunami. we will touch on that in the presentation. of the 450 acres, the treasure island development authority will receive all of treasure island, with the exception of -- this is not working right now, but -- let's see. this shaded area here outlined in red is outlined by the department of labor as the job corps vocational training program. that would remain under federal jurisdiction. on the south side of your blenheim islands -- your but when i went -- yerba buena island. basically all the structures that are out there would be constructed as new facilities, ne

of the general plan at your march 3 hearing, including adoption of a new treasure island yerba buena island plan into the general plan and adoption of series of maps throughout the plan to incorporate references as the islands do not appear on the key maps in the general plan. the new area plan contains high level objectives and policies calling for the development of islands for mixed use neighborhoods and the proposed project would be consistent with these policies. action 3 is adoption of the general plan and planning code related to all city actions related to the project. for almost any action you and other entities take with regards to the approval of the proposed development project, these actions need to be found consistent with the general plan and planning code. the approvals before you are structured to make these findings in a single resolution so all other actions refer back to this resolution which finds the actions consistent with the general plan as amended. the next three items on the calendar are amendments to the planning code text, approval of the design for development

and the crime rate on treasure island is 2500% higher than yerba buena island. thank you for your time. >> hello supervisors and commissioners in. my name is brian. i've been on the island for three years. i currently am on the island due to commercial ventures. i come from a different perspective. the new winery just opened six months ago. a lot of people encouraged me from moving forward and doing business on treasure island. it is difficult to get to and nobody will ever come out. we have seen a lot of support, not only from the treasure island development authority but also from the community. people are looking for reasons to come out to treasure island, if you look at what my pred -- predecessor said, people come to the gate and ask what is on treasure island. he has to tell them nothing. well, there is starting to be something. there are businesses that are bringing people out to the island. in our first six months we've had 10,000 tourists and people out to the winery and we have seen this development as being something that could be great for the city an

with that, i am going to turn to yvi -- yerba buena island first. it is a very different situation between the two islands, would yerba buena being at very steep. there are four different distinct watersheds a different phases of the -- at different phases of the program there. next, on treasure island proper, we have analyzed conclusions of concern for each difference land use and adapted our treatment to each of those different areas. and then we had divided the island further into different watersheds, based on the phasing, the soil and other issues, we can link the treatment with the infrastructure development. vice president moran: so your role is a consultant to the development? >> that is correct. vice president moran: where else have you applied for this advice? -- where else have you provided this advice? >> we have worked elsewhere in san francisco. we have helped several other large water treatment facilities within the bay area. vice president moran: right. so your expertise is really the bay area then? >> right. the bay area. vice presid

number two, on the treasure island yerba buena area plan, it's really interesting to me that staff was able to put together an area plan within the space of about three weeks, i think. we had a redevelopment plan previously which i have here which i was reading until the change came along and then all of a sudden we have an area plan for us to consider. i think it's rather unprecedented that the commission and staff has never given us a real presentation and the commission has not had informational workshops specifically on the area plan itself combined with the s.u.d., which are major items for the commission to be considering, especially since the s.u.d. is set up in such a way that it takes power away from the commission which i think is not a correct way to go. also, it would have been helpful, and i think it's because of the time element, it would have been extremely helpful for us to have some kind of matrix or some kind of comparison before us that showed what was in the old redevelopment plan and its various related documents that related to land use and what-not and the new ar

people to just let you know once again that the first time that there were any developments done on buena island, there were bones of the people removed from the island and so this has always been an original site of the ancestors of the people and some of those bones are still in places like the university of california in berkeley and san francisco state university. so i'm wondering if at any time anybody has raised this issue as to, for example, a place to reburr those bones from the place -- reburr those bones from the place they came from. if you on treasure island have reached out to the people to see what their wishes and desires were for what happens. i know that the e.i.r. always says that they will go to the native american cultural -- i don't remember what the title is but -- it is really important knowing they are the original people of san francisco really trying to reach out and make sure that they are aware of what's going on. it is really difficult to follow this from afar. they were exiled from here and so we're trying to raise the issue because we want to make sure that as san

coast guard will open up over the summer a command center on yerba buena island.hey will be the commander on the water, the waterways, search rescue, any kind of incident we have on the water. the police departments will be -- will be the public safety lead on the land. the office of emergency services in the counties of marin, san mateo, we will use their resources. for the first time in the history of the america's cup, we are going to have a theater in a bay where we will have 300 degrees of viewing area on the land. not to mention the water traffic. so, we are going to rely heavily on our neighbors in those counties. it is a coalition of law enforcement agencies on the water, different then the intentions of society. >> [laughter] >> and we are well into our planning. we have partners from the drought outside resources to come in. we've set up a series of exercises. the law or three each years. tabletop for joint training exercises. there will be an exercise this í4xwthváu)s& all be able to see and purchase. they areg7tw.)um all to preseo show us, we are rig

resting its two fingers on yerba buena island, the san francisco bay bridge is forming itself under our eyes into the most colossal engineering achievement of its kind in the mystery of the world. panelway that joined the charm of peninsula with a stretch of land is taking form under the impetus of these men who built with steel. by the concrete gonzaga, brought over 1,3 anyl,000 barrels the cement in the boxes to create over 1 million cubic yards of concrete. to form the base for those towers, that point tot high leavens, 519 feet above the the waterline. anticipating a worldwide celebration, a whirling propeller of our airplane gives us a perspective of the bridge in it's 8 and a quarter mile length and below it on theesha the yerba buena shores. from the early clipper ship to this last-minute inspection of the new almost completed structure, it's anticipated by conservative traffic surveyors will carry at least 70 million people and at a 50 miles per hour our camera's eye probes the completeness of this cathedral of steel. >> reporter: what was an extraordinary accomplishment in 1936

and business tonight, and a number of residents and representatives from treasure island/yerba buena island. thank you for that. i would have to disagree with those planning commissioners that are recommending recirculation of the eir. i am one of the new guys on the treasure island development authority, but some of my colleagues have been at this for at least over 10 years, maybe 12. i do not know exactly. the short time that i have been on this board, i have been briefed a very, very well. my questions have been answered. i have seen the support from not just the treasure island community, but the community of san francisco in general. i feel very good about the process that we have gone through and how this plan has been feted for years -- been vetted for years. i am very disappointed that we are not going to get 30% affordable housing. i was hoping that that would happen. because of the change in financing that was necessary to deal with the governor's proposal to eliminate redevelopment, unfortunately, the infrastructure financing districts do not raise as much money as the tax increm
