however, for purposes providing an appropriately conservative impact analysis, different buildout periods were selected. for example, in the population and housing section, the e.i.r. identifies the 20-year time frame for replacing the demolished units. in the transportation analysis, the year 2030 is used to access future accumulative transportation alternative and the greenhouse gas analyzes the emission of construction over a 20-year period. it's typical of major redevelopment of a multiacre site such as parkmerced to take approximate 20 or 30 years to build out. the analysis uses a 20-year time frame because population and transportation forecasts for san francisco and the region that form part of the basis for the analysis are made through the year 2030 and are typically made for a 20-year period and because assuming the site is built out and occupied in 20 years, concentrates the impacts into a shorter period which then provides us with a more conservative analysis of environment affects. representative phasing of demolition and construction activities is described in the e.i.r. wit

the advance notice in in an orderly buildout. why do i say that? this is the scale of a neighborhood. we are essentially looking at a better neighborhood plan. but it is important to note, like those areas, there is no public land taxes or funds being expended. this is not like candlestick or the shipyard which are truly public-private projects. what does this mean? this means we do not have the same amount of control necessarily on how this evolves. without us having a stake in it, it is hard for us to dictate. so we let the developer respond to market demands, and when there is an opportunity to build, they can build in a set of rules. as i mentioned before, they must get development phase approval. that is up to a minimum of 500 units and a maximum of 2500 units. so put it another way, if the fewest is 3, and the most is, i think, about 12, so the project will be broken up into larger small pieces, and each development phase approval has to specify specific development, block by block, and then, finally, and most importantly, the delivery of the

there may impracticality be more than the 3002 under and 21 at any given point in buildout in case you have to build the replacement unit for the replacement buildings before you can remove tenants from the existing buildings, so in all likelihood, there will be more rental control units on park merced then there exists today -- than there exist today. and a tenant can apply for a rent reduction. this is due to construction. if they feel that it is excessive that represents a diminution of housing services, they can petition the rent board and seek either a reduction in rent, or other remedies. finally, and i think this is my last slide, and, again, i appreciate your patience, supervisors. i want to speak -- speak briefly on it. city attorney charles sullivan is the primary director, he is actually at jury duty, and the other attorney who has been primarily guiding this effort is also unavailable, but they will hopefully be available at future hearings. it is the city attorney's opinion that the state relocation law does not apply to the parker said projects. we have obviously looked a
