many of these old warehouse buildings, as you approach rincon hill, are sitting on rock. if you go down to king street, which is the street that fronts the ballpark, if you cross the street from the ballpark and the look on the sidewalk, there is actually a little brass plates that depict the location of the bluff that existed, the transition from the beach to the vertical cliffs that existed at second street. at second and king. all of that was taken down, and they have built warehouses. now at his condominium developments. and portions of mission bay. the first building of mission bay, third and townsend -- i am sorry, third and king, it is a rock site. if you go further into mission bay, it goes from rock to week bay mud. -- weak bay mud. this is on the folsom? >> the old wonder bread bakery. a little bit higher up. >> that particular building, if you look closely, the rock has actually receded back because of rockfalls. it was too expensive to put in foundations, so the foundation for that building is right on the surface. over the years, the rock face has receded to

i think, you know, we see that is the case in rincon hill and other places. everyone gets entitled to live thereafter, and it takes a while for everything to get bill. >> i found opportunity sites. does the eir allow for total -- greater f.a.r.'s then allowed on this? >> i see allows for a certain square footage and dtr

neighborhood districts and not mentioned but always discussed by staff was the downtown residential and rincon district so if we could put that into the motion would be great. and on page eight allow more flexibility in how the funds are spent and provided that the expenditures are decided through the public process with the arts commission and 2a, instead of providing the option that prescribes the certain on site or the payment to the fund and the department and the commission suggest that the requirement for all residential uses be deivied up in either amount to put on the fund. and if the nonresidential requirement is in place, there is no need for fiscal limits. and the ordinance has a lot of detailses about how it is spent in certain ways and the commission recommendation would be as long as it goes through the public process, that is good enough for us. 2c, remove the proposed 5% discount with on site and pay into the fund. and to remove the art work requirement and four, consider adding alternative sources for public funding administered by the art commission and then commissioner migu

perfect example, as you approach the bay bridge, on the left there is the building called 1 rincon hill. that is 63 stories tall with a basement, and it sits on a foundation in rock. if you look to the left, you see the infinity. it has the shaped. that is the rock site. they dug down, put it on rock. as you move north, you come to the southern pacific building or the embarcadero centers or the trans america towers. there, the rock is 40, 60 feet deep. but the decision was made that we need parking. so they elected to dig down to the dents supporting soil and build a foundation on the dance material below the bay mud. so that is a rock site, rock expedite -- rock excavation. this is part of the temporary shoring system that retains the walls of the excavation and prevents the building, other buildings from falling into the hole. >> where were we? >> we were driving around in the marina. we were looking over the perfectly flat marina green, at the whole marine area, which is also perfectly flat because it was artificial filled from the 1915 exposition. >> that is correct. it was hydrauli

where new housing developments were going to be included in the fund and large-scale housing like rincon hill and are some of the examples of large scale projects that would be great to contribute to this. i would like to echo the previous speaker's feedback on the percentage since there's not as much popo space within the areas to be a greater contributor to the general art trust fund created here. and with the exception of the nonpublic arts group, it would be best to maintain control of the funding. and there is a new fire station and please require them to pay the 2% public art fee. all the public wants to see that. president olague: thank you. is there any additional public comment? >> i have to open up one thing. i am brad paul and i became involve in arts policy and issues in the city in 1975 when i moved into the goodman building and that is a test for how many are old enough to remember where what the goodman building was and about affordable livable and workable space in the downtown. back in 2005 i was invited to the san francisco arts task force to talk about arts issues and

you think of rincon hill and the slope coming down the financial district, we expect the death of the shaft should shorten up and move away as far as the landmark moves away. >> we will wait until the end. >> yes, that is the current plan. that is the way we assumed we would end up saddling it up on the overall total length. >> the last question on the kraft hours, are you measuring trade by trade? do you have the ability to break out san francisco from the rest of the area? >> what we do is track it through the certified payroll. there's a lot of different metrics that could be pulled out, including by a specific city if that is something that would be desirable. >> i think it would be instructive. it would be informative to the work that the rest of us are doing and the city in terms of on a big project, what kind of actuals you have and what trades have higher participation and what has lower. >> absolutely. one thing to keep in mind is right now, we have fantastic numbers from the work the evans brothers did relative to the local residents and county. we have seen a little bit of

the largest public works our city has season in many years going on now the private project that 1 rinconl. huge project. we had 5 or 6 people work on that project thus far. the rebuilding of the academy of science in golden gate park. the rebuilding of our public hospital laguna honda this is on going work with the same contract ors that move successful apprentices from one project to another and keep them working for several years. the construction workers of the future to be the superintendents the construction owners. that's the perfect thing there. that's success.

there might be other places in rincon hill where you can pull that off, because you are among other contemporary buildings and not along a major car corridor. president olague: we do not have a motion yet. commissioner moore: it is difficult to have this discussion in this room. it is almost impossible. because the building is so large, i would like the residential expression to be a little more fine grained and softer. it is just too massive, and the material accentuate the mass of this, and with the white it will be even more exaggerated. president olague: this could be part of a motion. there was a mention that the staff continues to work with the architect around this issue. there is no motion on the floor. it could be included in the motion. >> there are more details in the material itself. the stuff is fine with how these materials are applied in the building. i think we can work with it. commissioner sugaya: i will go ahead and make a motion, since everybody is chomping at the bit. president olague: we are not chomping, just discussing. commissioner sugaya: yes, we are. i will move to app

if you look at south of market, rincon hill, bit by bit they are going away and they will go away when a higher and better use becomes economically feasible. certainly, almost anything built there will bring in more revenue than the surface parking lots and be much more aesthetic. to put a time limit on it, while the intention may be good, i do not think that is good. the far exceptions for affordable housing and other exceptions i am generally against. i think height, bulk, the same standard should apply to everything. it does not make a difference if a person is living in a market- rate units, affordable units, or public housing unit. the impact on the committee and those of us who are not in there is the same regardless of who was there. admittedly, people have a tendency towards whether they will have cars, the kind of life they will lead, but by and large there is a density that is appropriate, and i think should be universally applied and we should not try to incentivize more density using that tool. another part of it is that we have not been too successful because i think whene

really the center of the downtown today, which extends all the way down to the ring, hill area -- the rincon hill area. the transit center is the center, and this would emphasize that. here is another computer simulation of what the skyline will look like. we did countless simulations for the public to weigh these changes. our website has had 16 or 20 different public views simulated on our website that people can scroll through, and the draft eir has quite a number as well. here is a view from treasure island. in terms of land use, the plant currently proposed would eliminate the floor-area ratio cap, which currently exists in the downtown, currently limited at 18 to one, and the plan would propose to eliminate that and have an unlimited f.a.r. allowance in the districts of the buildings could be built to this district. additionally, given that this area in the transit center district essentially represents the last development sites in the downtown, you probably know that the northern part of the financial district essentially built out. there are no major development sites left. in this a

with the endpoints of the ring kind towers on the left and the trans america on the right -- the rincon towers on the left. it is also important to mention what this will actually resolved. under current zoning, there's about 6 million square feet of office space. we will be adding over 2 million square feet of that so that the total we get between office, housing, retail, and hotels basis is almost 9 million square feet, which is about a 4 million square foot increment over what current zoning allows for us. i think it is important to recognize that this is being built not in some far distant part of the city but in exactly the parts of the city where high rises exist today and where we have the transportation infrastructure to support it. it will include major improvements of the streets and sidewalks, which we know will be desperately needed in that area and it will also include 11 acres of public parks, over half of which is on the terminal being built by the tjpa. importantly, it will also include a funding mechanism to help pay for all this. we can realize a net present value of o
