this is something that was pioneered in rincon hill. this is reallocating the alley way for open spaces. through this effort, we fund it and carried out a survey of the resources for the entire plan area and the recommendations of that survey which was initially approved by the landmarks board in 2008 -- excuse me, 2009. then, the h pc recently approved an updated finding to the survey a few months ago. this recommended expanding the montgomery conservation district and renaming it the new montgomery commission district to reflect an expansion of the district and to take in more buildings all the way to and across third street as well as expand at the district in the southwest a little bit along howard street. the boundaries that you see are updated and revised from the november, 2009 plan. the only difference is a further expansion in the southwest. the plan will propose to update the individual category ratings for many buildings. i'll get to that in a second and consider steading and pursuing the new landmark designations in the dist

my name is katie, and i have been living in the rincon hill neighborhood for 17 years. i have been very involved in the city and neighborhood issues. as a founding member and current president of the local neighborhood association. i really care about the waterfront. i love seeing the improvements. i am currently watching pier 36 come down to make way for the brandon street wharf. i am here to support the 8 washington project because it, too, will improve our waterfront. i am also an avid walker and pedestrian safety advocates. no one uses this area to the full capacity. 8 washington will widen the sidewalks, welcoming more walkers, runners, bikers, and families to the waterfront. as someone who lives near the waterfront, i also know how important it is that we have more public open space and parks to enjoy, which is exactly what 8 washington provides. years of community input and hundreds of meetings are what have gotten us to this point today. we do not want to lose this opportunity to improve the waterfront. i strongly urge you to allow this great project to move for

commission and board and redevelopment commission adopted a couple landmark plans, one of which was the rincon hill plan. and the development plan, which together created a blueprint for a new high density neighborhood just to the south of the terminal of over 10,000 new units and supporting infrastructure. since then, and sort through that process, there has been another major change taking shape in the downtown, and that is the construction of the new transit center to replace the old terminal. the project, which also includes the rail extension is a multibillion-dollar product, which you are all fairly familiar with, but it will both reshape this area, create a new public amenities, substantially increase the transit capacity in the area as well as cause us to rethink some of the patterns in the area and whether there is an even further land use response to this major investment. additionally, in 2006, the mayor convened an interagency working group made up of the planning department and a number of other agencies including othertjpa -- including the tjpa to look at whether we might be able to r

the rincon hill. there's one tower there. there might be more now.f you walk down king street, you're seeing more businesses pop up, you're seeing a lot more families with strollers. the mission bay library's dynamic right now, and parks are going in there. so, it is a chance to build the neighborhood, but we're going to see big fights over things like union jobs for the construction jobs. are they local hires? that's a big issue in san francisco. we're also going to be seeing issues about anything, any views are going to be blocked. >> parking? >> no, parking -- the giants have done this incredible job of having 50% of the people who come to the games come on public transit, but a big question's going to be how do you get more people into that area with transit? can muni afford it? >> they have the rail down third street now. >> all we need is a winning team. if there's a good reel, they're winning. even planning commissioners might find it hard to turn them down. well, thank you, rachel. thanks to all of you, in fact, for joining us here tonight. >
