against the east central soma e.i.r.as well as office developers outside of central soma. i want to focus a moment for the nexus study. that needs to be the basis of so much of this conversation. this truly is a legal document, not a policy document. the requirement of the nexus study is based on a mitigation fee act, several decades old, state law that essentially says to pass muster in court, if you're in front of a judge you cannot have a fee more than, meeting all the standards, one of which should strike some of us is that all of the new job created by the new office are all going to be housed in the seven by seven city of san francisco. one we know is not true. we know people are living elsewhere and commuting to the city. two, it is inconsistent with the regional housing and transportation approach that everybody has been working towards, at least for the last decade, but even longer. in a sense that we are in a down environment next to the highest density transit, probably in the country. one of the highest this

concludes my presentation along with myself and abbey, josh is here to answer any questions about central soma along with claudine, the mayor's office of housing and community development staff and staffs the soma stabilization cac. thank you very much. >> i see supervisor haney here. did you want to say a few words? okay. we will open up this item for public comment. i don't have any speaker cards, but please come on up. >> afternoon, we have been waiting down the hall. i am john. funny wrapping up the central soma plan. it is a year after you voted to send it out. we are now getting through the important details, and the cac is one of them. you may be aware we are wrapping up the legal matters right now this week actually. i think, you know, we are in the final phase of getting this altogether, and this the cac is an important community public process component we always wanted supervisor kim introduced it and they have been supportive and worked hard to get it to here. in case you are wondering how the two different cacs work. stabilization fund is a grant-making body working with mocd with

as i told you, i am particularly interested in central soma and what it does to central o soma.i would like to see those numbers and empower you to get us the best deal overall. if anybody makes a motion i hope you take those comments into consideration. commissioner moore. >> commissioner moore: could we close by the approval with modifications. what i heard nobody is supporting that modification so what we are trying to say is that we are supporting where you are, including forward going negotiations in improving fees and allocations. would you help us with that? >> i appreciate that. we have spoken about this. there are ongoing negotiations around it so i think i hear what you are saying and i will take that as we move forward we will definitely continue to work with the community and this has to go to land use and colleagues and such, i would appreciate your support in the legislation, but i understand the questions that you are raising around the number. >> then couldn't we just send it forward with affirmative support, not only for what it says by supervisor haney also tha

would be to improve input in the city's decision makers regarding implementation of the central soma plan. , the western soma area plan and the east soma plan. the soma c.a.c. would also provide advice regarding the following community improvements projects and other public investments, funded by the central soma infrastructure impact fund. improvements, projects and other public investments, related to transit, parks and recreation, complete streets, environmental sustainability and schools and childcare ra also reflected there. if we turn to the chart that i have provided to all of you this morning, it does have some cleanup amendments in modifying certain residency requirements with the soma stabilization c.a.c. clarifying that the soma planning c.a.c. members and alternate members serve as pleasure of the respective appointing authority, clarify that the members and alternate members again serve at the pleasure of the -- of the authority and that same idea would apply to the eastern neighborhood c.a.c. there's some clarifying amendments that we worked with with the city attorney,

this is 340 townsend street within the central soma zoning use district. the western district and the 130 district. the site is currently developed with five story structure. first three levels are devoted to parking and top is office space. the existing garage is under utilized with 100 spaces unused on a given day, according to the project sponsor. the department considered if this is appropriate use for the site if the auto parking could be converted to higher use. the site is transit accessible with the fourth and king transit station across the street. central subway is opening service in 2021. the context of the neighborhood undergoing significant change. the tennis club and creamery will generate construction activity in the coming years. crews come early before transit is in full-service, it is likely providing additional parking capacity in the immediate term may provide relief during the construction. as the neighborhood develops public parking may impede less auto dependents pattern and it may be redeveloped to higher and better use. the departm

what is clear, this report should have been released during the hearing of central soma hearing plan. the study was nonpublicly released until june of this year. this kind of report is really important to be part of public discussion since we see the impact of of new commercial developments in our community. commercial development, especially office develop and has impacts to the existing communities and neighborhood and san francisco. we have seen rapid gentrification and displacement as a result of the first, and second technology boom that comes with speculation and high-rises office development. we want to thank supervisor haney's office and continuing this work, and working with us, and our partners in getting the legislation in front of you today. the jobs housing linkage fee is not new for the city. when it was increased in the late '90s, the same issue we are bringing up today which was office development create massive impact to existing neighborhoods in san francisco. the city acknowledge that this development had an impact in these fees are necessary to mitigate those impac

recent projects on howard, folsom, and closing the gap on the network and most of you know, the central soma plan is coming, we are going to see over 5 million square feet of new development on 5th street alone. and so it's imperative that we approve this project, build this project to serve not just the existing community but also all the new development on this street in particular. so, just the same as with the mission excelsior safety project, engaged residents, employees and businesses on this corridor, and of course, needless to say, we will be implementing a quick build version of the project right away. with that, ask my colleague to come up and give you the details on the project and answer any questions you may have. >> hi, everyone, talia lange, thanks for hanging in there and listening to me today. i'm here today to talk about the proposed changes between fifth and townsend streets in the core of central soma. the 5th street project is not a new effort. first came about as part of a 2000 the bike plan, designated a major bicycle route. it was halted down to the central subway con

the building is located in the transited center district plan on the edge of the central soma plan. we think this is great consistent with the objectives of the city high density transit oriented mixed use development. this is the current building on location. it is pretty much a building that has not been occupied for some time. it has narrow sidewalks. there is much to be also wish for in terms of landscape. it is generally also pretty dark at night. we think our building will have a positive transformative impact on this immediate context of the city which actually is when you move towards the freeway this is the important experience coming into the city. again, here it is in the plan. this parcel does not have the requirement of power separation. i want to talk during the presentation how we sculpted the building to allow the building to have access to light, ventilation and views. again, if you focus on the screen showing the major fulsome with one way traffic street toward the water. we have a parallel street howard in the opposite direction. hawthorn is a small scale resident

the district on a daily basis, not to mention the lack of subject open space for the tenderloin central soma. so thinking about how vi civic center can function to spend time in this space together to share urban open space was a significant goal and so three goals, make a place for protests and celebrations that work and serve daily life. about a third of the way into the process, maybe half way, we came to the public with a series of plans and three plans were, i think what you saw last time we presented. they were more prov provocation, what if we did this or that and it would result in different identity and experience. and the feedback we got was quite clear and various tools were used from online survey and literally a cut and paste exercise people could do. people, obviously, had a desire to reconnect with nature and wanted access to beauty and valued a sense of history in the space, but literally the plans we had shown were taken pay part and attributes we understood clearly and were applied to the plan that we'll present today. we obviously are using it as a starting point, the aspe

program, and it was recently amended in november 2018 as part of the central soma plan adding in some parks and other uses there. for the pier 70 and mission rock, there's two buckets of amendments. the first is just clarifying the existing law and clarifying any ambiguities? and then, the second is requesting that you authorize certain improvements that are not currently permitted? the three that i've highlighted here, the first is historic buildings, so paying to rehabilitate the historic buildings for future uses, market housing, and then seismic improvements, so making sure those buildings are seismically safe. and then, the last major one is entitlement costs, so the cost that went into planning the entire site of both projects. those are the main three things that will be added in, and then, clarifications. so later this year, you'll be seeing the members of the port again to continue financing these projects. there's a two-step process for the community facility district which is the special type of tax district we're looking to form here. so first, we will declare the intentio

soma and i am a daily munimobile rider. when the embarcadero freeway was demolished, rose knew it was an opportunity to get central subway for the chinatown community. whether it is leading the efforts of gathering over 10,000 signatures in support of attending community meetings or city hall hearings, her presence was instrumental. without rose there, there will be no central subway. we should all support the naming of chinatown rose pak station to commemorate this female warrior in our community. thank you. >> thank you very much. next speaker, please. >> i'm sorry, i have to report a situation. the names that you called, the sheriff will not allow them to come in. >> we're working on that. thank you. >> if people's names have been called, they should be allowed in. >> hello, we are a group of four people. >> please state your name. you have a name -- you have a minute. we are a group, so we will stay continuously. we understand you are under pressure to make a decision today on the naming of the chinatown new subway station. please allow us to shed some light on this matter. we know that aaron peskin was very outspoken ag
