i do not think the argument for a wonderful green rupert or an obnoxious green fence -- green roof or obnoxious green fence have anything to do with what we're talking about. they will be dealt with as in normal situations. i have some problems with the project itself. i know we're not discussing the project, but we are enabling it. that is why i am trying to be very cautious about how i approach it. we still have the der and the project itself to come before us. we are saying it is ok to go to 136 at that point. that is basically all we are saying right now. i may go for it. it is not the best land use plan. >> a lot of comments about the fact that won approval is to each other, which is not the case. each has to be considered and it -- individually. we noticed the uses are different in the southern waterfront and the northern waterfront. we try to have some similarities and try to have some marion. this certainly would be in the context with what the southern waterfront is showing us, too. the other question i had was in regards to, i guess what commissioner moore brought up. she ca

you talk about the green fence, they have kept it that way to make the argument that the only way to do this is to do the project. the 1200 unit golden gateway to short-term vacation and sweet. how do i know that? there is the hotelization of the middle class rental housing. the picture on the front of very much looks like something else, and if you go to the executive suites or a number of the sites for short-term rentals on the web, these are advertisements. hundreds and hundreds of units are being lost, so getting 29 units a lot of this does not make up for what we will lose year after year after year. why reward this kind of behavior? the same property owner is not paying their fair share of property taxes. another loophole, they have figured out a way to transfer partnership interests in increments less than 51% to avoid a reappraisal, so when they bought the building, and never recorded as a sale, he said they are paying property taxes based on an assessment in 1994 increased by one% a year. it may be legal. but it is not ethical, and it is wrong, and according to the whistle-b

the ugly green fence? that is put up by one of the owners of the property, one of the parkers. in washington does none of these a million things, so what does it do? it built condos that cost that2.5 millionto $7 million. -- $2 million to $7 million. on top of that, mr. fu is a partner in the spirit he will be making millions of dollars selling the land. he has been systematically converting rent-controlled apartments in the golden gateway for years. so we are going to raise the heights for the two benefits. housing for the half percent, and are going to reward somebody for taking away the red- controlled house in the middle class family in the city are crying for. so why? revenue? i would plead with you to read the port term sheet. it is robbing the city. let me show you how. if you can see this on the overhead, this is the site. one of the major claims is they will raise $40 million through infrastructure financing. as you can see, 20% of the site is owned by the port. 80% is owned by the city. if you read the term sheet, they are taking all the tax increment. they are taking

there will be a profit, and one is responsible to the green fencing, and in addition to what the opposition is trying to support. >> there is an option to purchase the property, so in any situation like that, a purchase and sell agreement, the current owner would be paid to sell their property, so that is certainly a benefit to them. in addition, they will get back at the end of the day a condominium interest and a fitness club. if this gets approved in the wisdom of this board and others, there will be a condominium created as part of the purchase price, so there is actual cash that gets paid. there is cash that gets paid to the board, to the current owner of the club, and then they will receive an edition in kind payment with a fitness club being given back to them, but i think it is important to make that clear. the golden gate apartments have nothing to do with this project sponsor, or anything going on at the club, and i do want to be clear. i appreciate you having the hearing today, but it is important for the board to keep an open mind. there were so many things that were said that a

it will renovate existing facilities and replace the parking lots and green fence with a vibrant waterfront community of residential housing, new retail and and restaurants, belowground parking, and three new public open spaces. this is the final piece of the ferry building waterfront area. this is a good example of the kind of responsible development that can occur with the support of the commission. >> thank you. >> i am and landscape architect and environmental designer. i am a certified green professional. i am here to voice my support for the eight washington project and the green earth alliance. the green earth alliance is an advocacy group for green infrastructure. it is made up of architects and others that strive to promote environmental, social, and other benefits that green infrastructure provide. san francisco has long seen itself as a leader in green innovation and sustainability. it is. the green innovation is being undertaken by other cities to address their aging sewer systems and co2 emissions. they are now leading the way. i feel 8 washington represents an opportunity for
