we are anticipating that the draftee eir is published in may. your hearing on it would probably happen in june, and the schedule calls for a completion of the eir and consider the certification by the end of next year, so we are about a year away from completing the eir work on that project, and we will have the informational hearing scheduled on your calendar for january. secondly i just wanted to let you know i will be out of the office for two weeks starting thanksgiving. i will miss the meeting on november 29 and back for the meeting of december 6 and bill will be in charge of the department in my absence. that concludes my presentation. >> thank you. >> item nine and review of events at the board of supervisors, board of appeals and historic preservation commission. >> anne marie rogers from the planning staff. this week there was no hearing or full board but the zoning administrator did give me a report from the board of appeals i would like to share with you. there was one hearing last night they wanted you to know about. it regards the a

the eir is to be -- this is, for all intents and purposes, 2013. they are going to do the entire eir by 2014 and get it through the port, through the planning commission, through bcdc, through you all. you have multiple votes you have the take and rezone the sites. i have a clue to how complicated this schedule is and how compressed this is but force the port to tell you on your record what the schedule is. i was involved in the giants negotiations, which went on for two ballots and eir process and public discussion the better part of two years at the end. they limited the number of events. the giants, which are san francisco, which won the world series, have a severe limit on number of events. you are going to blast it out for this area. you will blast out when this area has had n nor mouse numbers of residents. what you are committing to in the eir that is before you is no other location works no other events work. that is implicit in what you have before you. get that all in writing. thank you. >> thank you. >> hi, betty. i'm a resident of san f

wait until these people see the eir is all i have to say. that's part of the job and it does take time. takes a lot of time and that's why citizens serve on cac's and commissions such as you are doing because they're willing to put the time in. katie ladel was absolutely correct. the cac so far has been nothing but a public sounding board. we have taken the public so you wouldn't have to here in a way to be very truthful but that should not be its purpose, and it is my hope and i have been talking to katie and others on it at least come january we will start to function as actually advisory group and i think we can do so and i believe we can do so very effectively. there has been a misconception what a fiscal pleasablity study actually is. i know this from the large volume of email conversations i've had as well as a number of private conversations including some this morning next door in pier one at the port's affair breakfast this morning. people do not understand what it is, either commissioner katdz or sue hester can correct me but i bel

the substantive part is with the term sheet and substantive eir. i'm hoping to get a commitment from city on ensuring we don't hold scoping meetings during holidays and move to mid-january to make sure we adequately hear through the input. if the city would also be okay with amendments to the resolution ensuring the cac would hear and review the term sheet prior to the board budget committee meetings. >> since you mentioned, during my presentation, the concept of moving the eir scoping meeting to mid-january, had an opportunity to talk to planning department and warriors, we can do that. rather than having two meetings, one before and one soon thereafter the new year, we can move and have a scoping meeting in mid-january and get beyond the holidays. that is something that is achievable and we will do. in addition, i would be happy by to have you amend the resolution to include whatever language protection cac wants in order to ensure they get to review, comment on, opine, report to

you are voting on a schedule, and you're voting on rejecting the eir alternatives. the study that you have before you, and there are many studies, the conceptual framework says the port rejects out of hand at the start of the process any alternative site especially any site north of the -- north of here, or south of here. north of here is fully developed. no one in their right mind is proposing an arena north of the bay bridge, but the port commission is voting to reject alternatives. you are setting a schedule, and you have heard at the beginning of the calendar that the cac said wait this is coming too fast. it is hard to participate as a member of the public for those residents in the area to participate when this is coming so fast and there is a lovely organization from everyone who made the presentations for the warriors and the court and omd and every meeting that the cac has, so i would ask you what are you voting on? additionally i just want to say there are no rendering that we have seen anything about the -- how the stadium and the arena looks at from wher

we have made a decision guided by the limits imposed by the eir and the original approvals to go to the higher unit end of unit count and adjust the size slightly lower. we still have met the 40% two and three bedroom threshold. that's a factual statement and exactly where we were and recall us having been in 2005. in terms of -- the best way i can respond to the preponderance or not of families living in downtown hi rises is probably one hawthorn which is a project that my company developed and has 165 residential units and it's anecdotal information and not just speak for example art stone and i have provided to my partners. we have approximately five families -- i think the definition of families parents with children living in the 165 unit high rise building. 10 units remain unsold but it can't skew the mix too much and the preponderance of the units are primary residents. they're not investor units. i don't know if i can shed anymore light on the question. >>i think you answered it and certainly sounds based on your experiences with hawthorn this is the best you feel that would wor

we don't believe that western soma doesn't take advantage of the e eir capacity. we have talked about architects and rear yard setbacksis better understood as a land banking plan than promote the type of urban youth we would like to see. we question why the zoning administrator is prevented from making rulings in western soma he might be able to make in other parts of the city and regarding that gap on impact fees where do the fees come from if a plan is designed to restrict development? we think it has a lot of work to do on it yet. thank you. >> good afternoon commissioners, i am kowg cane and hotel designer and developer. as you can see there is going to be a lot of conflict over this particular western soma district. i would like to call your attention to three zones of influence which have not been discussed today and those three zones are specifically mid-market development and the grocery store zone. i call it a zone. that is from trader joes all the way to food co including rainbow and costco which is really the grocery shopping area of the city and to a l

my feet back is i think that having a scoping meeting which is substantive in the community on eir and hosting december 13th will be viewed as trying to ignore public input and feedback. it is a busy time for many of our families and residents. i know the request has been to move the scoping meeting to after the new year's in mid-january, when people are back and will be able to focus attention on this important project in the neighborhood. >> okay. i'm happy to talk to the larger project milestones briefly, which is just while we first fiscal feasibility finding and environmental e are view process. as we talk about term sheet endorsements between february and april that anticipated a draft n environmental report would be published may to june of 2013 and final eir would be in early 2014 along with proposed approval of transaction documents. trust consistency approvals that would need to be obtained in the spring of 2014. that would keep us on a schedule tol begin construction december of 2014. >> i want to say one other thing. in addition to the fire department we have reached out to

identify the challenges but we can't propose potential answers to those unless we are doing it through the eir process so this is very much a beginning process. i absolutely acknowledge -- in fact my colleagua brad and i were talking and katie ladel is right and the other cac members it's a deluge of information to bring citizens not necessarily well versed in real estate development in private public partnerships towp speed is who is the waterfront plan? what is the special area plan? what are pro formas and term sheets? and an effort to give fownchzal information as possible and get to where we are which is truly the beginning there is a lot of talk and we are committed to moving forward in the cac process whether workshop format or a format where there is less formalized agendas but opportunities for free flowing comment and the meetings more productive for everyone and responding thoughtfully. that is something we're willing to do this the many, many months ahead that face this project. i will say again on the 13% what i want to emphasize is that the 13% is reflects the cost of capital tha

interest to say a word about this, but i know about it, and i commented on it when i commented on the eir. i'm the only person that has standing to pursue it, and with the scott wiener's amendments even less standing and please tell people you're considering demolishing it and with the board of supervisors and with that building. thank you. >> next speaker please if you're ready. >> hi. my name is reynolds cameron. i'm an individual and not representing anybody. i am married and just moved to san francisco in january and lived in norway, copenhagen and france and shanghai china. i am here to speak about my experience about living on the south slope of po troro hill and how my experiences can shape how it should help you shape the future of san francisco. many of these countries have a very -- have been recognized as being innovative in incorporating the needs of low income and especially refugees from third world kowntsdz that have been going through civil wars and they have come to the scandinavian countries that are wealthy and have through their rental policies given them rental subsid
