supervisor mar: thank you. >> good afternoon, supervisors. i am a member of the ocean avenue revitalization collaborative and a member also of the new ocean avenue association. i would like to point out that these plans are not new to the neighborhood and that we have been informed of them and talk about them over a number of years and a series of meetings. the better neighborhoods plan for the avalon a property itself any plans for that and what it would take to make a car for supermarket in san francisco on our street, and also in terms of the impact on the side of the turnaround, the phelan project for the affordable housing and the plaza. i have never heard an objection to this on any terms in the neighborhood, so we are looking forward to the project going ahead. we hope the disputes can be figured out so that we might have the supermarket we have been waiting for for many years. thank you. supervisor mar: thank you. >> good afternoon, supervisors. i just wanted to speak on the issue of building up on exis

supervisor mar: thank you very much. >> you are welcome. supervisor mar: next speaker. ms. ting. >> i am from the parkmerced action coalition. yes, we're here in the audience. we are very opposed to this. we do not want any demolition. we have not had enough time to go over these new papers that you have given us. just looking at it quickly, we do not feel that $160 million is enough. this is one of the articles mike was talking about -- my neighbor -- about the larry gluck demolition. i think it is in harlem. it's the piece of property that he owned when he wanted to try to destroy those people. he was not allowed to. parkmerced is a beautiful place. it's absolutely spectacular. it's a lovely place to live. we do not want to be torn down. we would like to stay just where we are. we would hope that you vote against this. we do not want to be put out of our homes. we want to stay there. thank you very much. supervisor mar: thank you. >> good morning. i'm with the housing rights committee of san francisco. i would like to mention these scary scenarios. i think it is possible

supervisor mar: thank you. >> thank you very much. supervisor mar: mr. flores. >> good morning. carter's local 22. supervisors, madame clerk, i will say it again. tenants rights. i want to thank mr. chiu. it's in the right direction. i urge you to move forward. let's plant the seed. you are all leaders. let's leave the way for the city and county of san francisco. we know how to do things right. let's do it. let's move things forward. thank you very much, supervisors. supervisor mar: thank you. maria, as well. >> good afternoon. i did not come down here to make friends. i came to talk about what i believe in. i also came down here to call some people out. he comes out here representing the union. you did not see him walking members of our organization -- crying while there were up. supervisor mar: what is your name? >> ben. i'm a resident of your district, supervisor mar, for eight years. supervisor mar: please speak to the measures before you and try not to attack people. >> i would like to pass this around, if you have not seen this. this is still being distributed by parkmerc

supervisor mar: ok. so i guess i will be supportive to have amendments, but like supervisor cohen, i do feel that there hasn't been enough transparency of the process and that we need much more discussion on a number of the mitigations and the question of the protection of the rent controlled units still to me is not rock solid. so i definitely hear the comments from the -- a number of the tenant organizations. in all of a sudden and i don't feel comfortable with moving anything forward without further vetting by many of the stakeholder groups that are here today but i'll support the amendment. supervisor chu? supervisor chu: most of these amendments came out of conversations with tenant advocates in recent weeks and months. so i do know that not all the members of the public here had a chance to see them but i certainly appreciate the perspective of our colleagues on this. these are complicated issues and certainly we will in the coming weeks have time for folks to evaluate the language here and i will

supervisor mar: thank you. >> hello, supervisors. my name is george. i am the president of twin peaks central council. i am here briefly to say the west side needs planned intelligent growth. i have attended at least 12 meetings regarding park merced. i have written extensively on the deir, and much of it was negative in terms of the neighborhoods have gone to subsidize things like water, schools, the transportation aspect with a tier five element is a big plus. 19th avenue as stated earlier is going to become a parking lot. park merced is a planned development, and i want to stress planned. it has been planned and discussed by the neighborhood, the developers and the city government. tangible benefits have been negotiated for the neighborhoods, affordable housing, you name it. although the park merced project represents many changes , costs and problems, and i feel bad for some of the residents, the project is preferable to the chaotic third element that represents uncontrolled density growth on the west side. you have a clear look

supervisor mar: i am going to call several more names. jim cook, elizabeth cook, bill blackle weapon, and hirkuda. that is the remainder of the cards i have. >> good afternoon, honorable supervisors. i am speaking as an arc at the time and the father of two children here in france -- san francisco. i support park merced. this is an opportunity to confront head on the crushing responsibilities we will be facing as a city, state and region for the next 100 yards. horrible housing, environmental sustainability and rent control make this is a response inproject in a local sense. but adding 5,700 units to the city's housing stock will be a huge benefit over time. an earlier speaker spoke about the history of this place as a plan from the garden city. if this is approved, it will become historic as a moment in time when the city of san francisco and the bay region got serious about living in a sustainable manner. thank you. >> what was your name again? >> owen kinnerly. supervisor mar: thank you >> my name is mike smith. i am an eight-year resi

supervisor mar: thank you very much, mr. kennedy. >> personally, i find this a very exciting proposal. supervisor mar: thank you very much. >> thank you. supervisor mar: next speaker. >> i've lived at parkmerced in district 7 for 14 years. i see this proposal as a very positive revision. provides solid, new family- oriented housing, a neighborhood where you can do many more things in a neighborhood without driving out of the neighborhood to other parts of the city or to other towns. it being propose at a time when many reports say san francisco will see a great amount of growth over the next 20 years. it's right on time. it provides jobs both during and after the construction. rent control has to be taken care of. i'm impressed by the work you are doing. i think this will lead to a presicident. make sure you can keep that in place. if this project is not approved, one of my big worries is not that it will go back to the era of benign neglect, but back to the era that i call aggressive exploitation but it was a relentless bat

supervisor mar: is there anything else? supervisor elsbernd: for members of the public, i am having my office print out copies of this. we will have a stack here as soon as they are ready. i imagine this will go back up on the parkmerced web site, and if anyone would like to e-mail me, i can e-mail you an electronic version. supervisor mar: we do not have public comment yet. we are not going to public comment yet. supervisor, is there anything else? supervisor elsbernd: that would be it. this would be, as i said, readily available for the public to review. supervisor mar: if there is nothing else, was there anything else? >> i did have a very brief presentation, and i did want to clarify to the members of the committee that redline revisions were also submitted to the draft development agreement itself, not the ordinance, but the development agreement itself, which was posted by the clerk on friday. i did want to briefly summarize those for the public, and i wanted to emphasize that copies will be available by the end of th

chairperson mar: 25%? >> thank you. which they hope to get back to 25% if there is additional funding. we remain committed to tihdi -- supervisor cohen: he said if we get back to our affordable housing dollars? >> we are in process -- as you know, the other ifps were only able to get 69 cents on the dollars for projects, whereas with redevelopment we were able to get 80 cents on the dollar. that loss in increment was recommended to make up for that loss. what we intend to do and are already doing is looking at making legislative changes at the state level to try to get back to that 80%, if we possibly can. that mirrors what we saw under redevelopment. that is to be determined, how exactly we are going to do that. but there are five pieces of legislation now before the state legislature that would look at making changes in how money is spent. currently, affordable housing is a prohibited use for ifp's unless you have a replacement housing requirement. in this case, we do. we would like to change ifp law to allow them to

supervisor mar: thank you. before i introduce supervisor elsbernd, let me just say we have a lot of public comment today. we will limit it to two minutes per person. i urge people to keep it as short as possible. brief remarks in the mibeginning 39 yen, he will talk about amendments or changes. supervisor elsbernd? mr. yardeni, would you like to make opening remarks? >> good morning, supervisors. i will keep my remarks very brief. i think this committee has received several informational presentations. i will focus today on the revisions to the draft development agreement that was submitted to the clerk on friday. supervisors csupervisors cohen:k that members from the public restraint supervisor mar: conversationsmar thank you. please continue. >> i'm going to highlight key sections where there are red lined changes. the red lined documents are also available with the clerk's office. i will move through the sections. i do want to note that there were some organizational and technical cleanups' made to the dined

supervisor mar: thank you. >> good afternoon, everyone. my name is katherine wong, and i have lived at park merced for a few years. i am happy with the community and the current management company. i am excited to see their plans for the new park merced. i am happy to be able to live in a community that i will be able to call home for many, many years. i am grateful that they are promising to continue my rent control rate even after the construction is complete instead of just passing down pass-throughs as past management used to do. in today's age community is key. we need a place to gather, to celebrate, to build a community together. the project offers a community center, neighborhood parks, community garden, coffee shops and restaurants, missing today. currently open space is unuseable for recreation since most of it is in the middle of busy streets. it is highly con surf tiff of water. the project will provide over 68 akers of green -- acres and parks. they have guaranteed any person affected will be moved

supervisor mar: i am going to read a couple of names. matt preston, dean chamberlain, george woodalling, carroll coppell, nikollo. >> good afternoon, my name is bill blackwell with the plumbers and pipe fitters in san francisco. just to reiterate what some of these tenants have said, this is a property that has lived its life. some of the areas are 60 years old. the infrastructure for this property is failing. we can walk any days you would like to, and i can show you gas lines, sewer lines and water lines in the walls that are failing. when we have redone it, they have passed the construction on to tenants. i understand the concerns the tenants have about being relocated and no rent control, but this owner has kept its word every step of the way. if not, they are going to get all these pass-throughs put on to them, and it will be worse for them. i hope you support this project. supervisor mar: thank you. >> good morning, supervisors. i am the chair of the coalition for san francisco neighborhoods. nine years on the housing committee. th

supervisor mar: thank you. i will call the last card that i have from the box here. manuel flores. >> good afternoon, supervisors. my name is hall of fame -- javier floors. i am here to support the project. one of the things i want to minx, laborers are the lowest paid compared to any other trade. we do have members. we represent members that also live in the apartments. the reason i am bringing this up is because of the rent control. if our members can afford to leaves there, is a place to live. one other thing i want to mention, the management at park merced. i get all this from our members. they took compliments about park merced, which i think it is a good thing. i don't think there is a single unit that does not support this project. we all have something in common about this. we have an only gigse with our members and all that. i suggest we move the project forward. thank you. that's all i have to say. supervisor mar: thank you. >> good afternoon, supervisors. jeff rock a fifth generation person here. i h

supervisor mar: thank you. >> hello, supervisors. thank you for holding another public hearing on this very important issue. my name is ann marie bratton. i live in merced. i have been in my garden apartment for 18 years. i am in phase one, and i will be one of the first people to move out. i don't want to particularly live in a high rise apartment. however, i think that each one of us, everyone, has a responsibility beyond our individual lives. i think the park merced plan speaks to that responsibility. san francisco needs housing. san francisco needs affordable housing especially on the west side of the city. san francisco needs, as well as the earth needs, environmental development. and this plan is a very sustainable plan. high density urban housing near transportation is becoming the best development for sustainable living. san francisco needs economic development. the jobs that will be provided, the construction jobs, the electrical jobs, the union jobs. i have talked to my neighbors as well. i have a nei
