mr rich had something to offer there peerk -- there. we will need that microphone on fort mr rich. >> i wanted to have a second try and explain the way the affordable housing program works this is just for clarification, obviously. it is in your purview to accept or reject this particular set of policies. but let's start by looking at the units. the project is at 25%. the 394 units. of those 394 units, at least 319 of those need to be on site. the developer of the 319 units may build up to 180 of those units on up to three standalone site his -- sites. this is very important. no city money will pay for those units. the developer will fund the gap, other than freely available tax credits. we have 394, as a whole 25%. 319 is the amount, the minimum on site that is anywhere between zero and 180 that can be on separate parcels. what that leads to a 75 units that can be taken care of by feeing out. i don't know if i made you more concerned -- confused. if i did, let me try again. i want to make sure we have the right basis before we debate t

anyway, that will be on therapeutic the boe shined it up -- that will be on there peerk the boe shined it up. i digress. we had a weeklong incident management team class that falls into our disaster operations held at treasure island. a lot of members of the department attended on their own time. i know the chief went out there and spoke to them. these will be the people who will be responsible for assisting in running the department during a complicated at extended incident to. it may be used out in the field but they will be needing support by planning by logistics, by all sorts of other things. that is why the incident management team would do. during fleet week, there are several classes that we will be teaching. chief cochrane, along with another captain will be teaching a rescue system with the marines on tuesday. i know that veterans, our veterans association will be serving lunch for about 70 military personnel that day. and then on october 1st, i think that is monday, they will be instructing a confined space on a u.s. navy ship at pier 3032 , which is pretty cool. we are real

this is why i also started this legislation in district for only or having it apply only there peerky have a realized example where a business does want to serve coffee with their retail component. it is something that is desired and needed out of district for. but i could see where you might have issues in district three. >> commissioner dooley: i would be curious because it is always a question of enforcement >> yes. yes. much of this is complaint based. i completely understand. this is where i think it is really important that we have the underlying zoning match what they're they are proposing for flux retail as well as that you have to have two things within those categories at any given time. >> commissioner dooley: so that would still allow for someone who wants to do a limited restaurant and apply for that? >> if there was an ncd that did not allow for a limited restaurant, than they would not be allowed to do this. >> commissioner dooley: -- i was just wondering -- that would be another amendment that the district could have possible amendments to this legislation. >> possibl

we will get there peerk these tree calculator is going to make this happen, right? thank you for all that. next we will hear from mark. he is executive director of city forest credit. it is an organization which helps companies reduce carbon footprints by funding tree planting initiatives in the fight against global warming. come on up. [applause] >> thank you, very much. there is one group that is not here that we want to be here. that is the corporate citizens of san francisco. they are here? great. thank you, very much for those of you that are here. because public funding is stretched to the max. we need to find out a way to bring in corporate residence and corporate citizens to help us keep san francisco healthy, green and equitable. my organization is a nonprofit in seattle. we are making it possible for local projects during carbon plus credits. we hope to generate a whole new source of generating revenue for urban forest. so i will keep it quick. and let jenna take over. [applause] >> ok. before i bring you up, thank you for keeping that quick. i know all of

so perhaps there could be some clarification on there peerk the d.a. explicitly says, up to three sites maximum of affordable housing on sight. i heard 180 units would be built on site. i could not find that anywhere on the d.a. apparently, my reading, there is absolutely no obligation to provide a site within this development that will provide 100% affordable housing. there is no money dedicated and that is understandable. that is how a lot of these deals are. they provide the site but there is actually no guarantee that that housing will be there . and might be there but maybe i couldn't find it. the hundred and ten% a.m.i. average is very interesting. let say there was a site for low income housing at 55% a.m.i. let's say that occupied half of the units. that would mean the other half of the units could be at 170% a.m.i. with absolutely no range in between. and looking at supervisor safai, we have had this conversation about different income levels. where our teachers green they earn between 70 and 90% a.m.i. there could be no housing for somebody w

but we are not stopping there peerk we are adopting policies to meet our goal of being carbon neutral by 2050. by the year 2013, we have committed to cutting our landfill waste -- waste in half, to carbon icing all of our new buildings, and achieving -- by the year 2013 -- 30, we want to be more sustainable. we can achieve this by working across our borders as one a global community, to push for strong environmental protections together, we have the ability to create a cleaner and greener sustainable future for generations to come and as we move forward this week, san francisco, as you know, will be hosting the global climate action summit. i'm so excited that jerry brown has chosen the city and county of san francisco, we have been a leader in the effort to combat climate change. as we bring people from not only all over the united states, but all over the world to san francisco, we will continue to push the envelope and demand action. the whole point of this climate summit his action. it is about coming up with solutions. san francisco, is much as we live in a bubble, we can't do it

you probably couldn't even get a car in there peerk which is typical of a lot of the old houses.so you will end up with a three-story house, 2200 square feet. the average square footage in our neighborhood is 1800 square feet. i had my property manager print out something for it. and today, here, we have been here since 1:00. i know you have been here a long time. they said that the average square footage in san francisco in 1600 square feet. i think the average of our area code is about 1100 square feet. it will be twice as big as any other house as the average house in the area. and i just think that there is some modifications. the second floor should not come out. the first floor can come out. they want to put the basement in there, it will be 10 feet tall. that is fine. i think it would help mr toole. thank you. >> president hillis: thank you any additional public comment in support of the d.r.? seeing then, project sponsor? -- seeing none, project sponsor? >> good evening commissioners. i am the project architect. thank you for having me tonight. i have a demonstration that

and because of the nature of the work, we have the assets and all these players that are in there peerk it is about leadership. we can exercise that leadership. the vision here is let's plan on having everybody here. we want to have everyone here so we can all be on the same page. rule out the plan that they have when they're talking to the port and talking to all the other stakeholders. let's see where we are here. that way, when we come into the supplemental funding, which is really another key that we need to explore right now, how do we go about doing that? and then if we need to engage others and get the legislature, at least san francisco treasure island, we will know where we are and what the options are. then we can have this elaborate plan. it will be easier for you because you've done all the research now. we would look at what technology do we need to deploy or employee to help us to figure out all of these branches of things that we need to get accomplished. that is the level that i really would like for this to grow and we will help you to pull all this together. that is th

being a trading card, that if you don't cooperate, we will put a roof deck that looks right in there peerky have a good architect on their side and we have an architect. it should be continue so the architects can talk with plannings -- planning's oversight. >> president hillis: thank you project sponsor? you have two minutes if you like >> the roof deck has been in the design since the beginning. there was never a discussion about adding a roof deck in an argument about changing the design. the roof deck has always been there. when we made an effort to negotiate with the neighbors and offered her some concession, we offered to give up the roof deck they didn't want to make any concessions at all with our design. they did hire an architect to show some other possibilities for the bathroom, but they were not acceptable to our clients. and so here we are. at a stalemate. one more thing. when we met with them and talk to them, back they mentioned that they would like to use all of their resources and time to delay and block our project. >> on the legal point of this that was just made, that t

we make sure the department of emergency management is up to speed as to what we are doing there peerk to be having few goals. the first goal i already briefly mentions. goal number 1 is for individuals , the person who feels like someone is following them pack or they are on the street and they don't feel safe for some reason, or they've had an altercation with an individual, it gives them a place to go and they know they can go there safely. we know there's been times where the public has walked into a business just to be told, no, not to your. you have to leave our business. in order to prevent that, that is our goal is to have a place people can go. number 2 is rolling this out. we will start at bayview and mission. we could easily roll this out. i think, citywide but we will want to make sure that our policy and our program and our procedures and our strategy is sound. by doing so, we will start at the first two stations at bayview and mission. we will partner with a banking institution, but we also have support from target to help us financially with this. those recommendations w

give and take and i want to thank everyone who attended there were, of course, command staffers there peerk but then there were also some other members who contributed to what i think was a very rich exchange and thank you all very much and we will be following up. >> president cleaveland: we look forward to the report that will come out of that. >> commissioner hardeman: i will try to be brief again. i took the streetcar down because i did not want to get stuck without a parking place. i arrived quite early and lit up a cigar. and right here, i watched a massive equipment. i had never seen anything like it. huge pieces of equipment bounding and digging with a crane. they were going like crazy. there are brand-new buses going by in the street is all torn up. people are heading over to the salesforce event tonight, the fundraiser. and reading that the supervisors just past the south of market, that new huge, 5,000 homes and big development, which is very progressive of them, unanimously i am thinking, we have 170,000 people here. this is the hot hotspot in the world today. 170,000 people try

we would love for any of you to come and check out what we are doing there peerk i just want to touchthat it became known to us there was a rumour from the last capital committee that we had demanded a dollar amount from this past developer. in my opinion, there is no dollar amount. i would prefer the developers mitigate this impacts before we have to go after them to do so. i know there was an e-mail sent out clearing up that misinformation. but we will continue to come before you because this is about all of us. it is for the entire community. >> vice president low: thank you. >> clerk: is there anyone else who would like to make general public comment at this time? ok. seeing then, this item is closed we are now on item five. the consent calendar. anyone who would like to make consent on the consent calendar? seeing then, public comment is closed. >> vice president low: i entertain a motion. >> it has been moved and seconded. all in favor? >> aye. >> any opposed greeting grief. >> so moved. -- any opposed? >> so moved. >> good morning. thank you for having me. my name is jason walt

go back and one of our slides that we have, we have that hotel in the power station that is there peerk you can see the mould is there. the exhaust within the stock is a 300-foot and you could never escape it. if this remains as part of the hotel, it will still be a power station that will be repurposed into a hotel. we think that that would still carry very much to look and feel of that. we are very open to seeing how this neighbourhood gets named. >> ok. my other question related to the improvements for 23rd street, the open space and now this alley, is a part responsible for any of the funding of those improvements? >> no. >> great [indiscernible] -- [laughter] >> we just need to approve the design of the open space because everything else is not exactly within our purview but that is our role here. >> right. >> ok. thank you. >> i would expand a little bit. our purview is much broader than that. because our land is part of their entire project. their entire project is relying on our open space for the integrity and beauty of the project you are putting together as i always say, some
