the city need it. your developing chinatown. develop bayview. >> good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, my name is michael james abercrombie. i want to talk about a solution. i grew up with asthma and i was recently diagnosed with lung cancer. the children who are susceptible need to be able to get out and get to work and play. it's possible to grow out of it. i did. interacting with the communities and teaching youth how to stand up for safe and fair housing and to have pride and respect for the neighborhood. with respect for themselves. they can grow up to be people of the neighborhood. that's what i think they need. that's a slougs to t-- solution the problem and what you can do for that would be appreciate. thank you. >> president cohen: thank you. next speaker, please. >> my name is joyce armstrong, i'm the proud president of the public housing association. i have with me the secretary for phta and the treasurer for phta. we have five developments under our jurisdiction umbrella. vernal dwellings, where i live, paterno annex and plaza east

they went to the bayview and put 20 more to work. during that process, they got more than just one item on the table here. they've got the e-bike that they're not being able to put out on the road, and they have the regular bike they're not being able to put out on the record because they've been denied to operate. and these jobs they're taking away from the western addition are hurting households, seriously. and people need the income. and if you would support lime and let them operate, they could get their e-bikes back in, and there would be more jobs in the western addition that we've been forgotten about. lime's the only company that reached out to us. not scoot and the other companies, but lime. i'm through. have a good one. >> supervisor safai: thank you. next speaker. >> my name is sam did evore. we've been having meetings with lime, and they've introduced themselves and the scooters, and the thing is is that the veterans are very excited about being able to get to work, to learn how to work and maintain these vehicles. they we

do you think the wind will just stop in the bayview. you don't think it will go to district 9 or other districts around you? it will go all over san francisco. it won't stop there. you guys are here to benefit the lives of the people of this community. you shouldn't get us more sick. you guys should take care of us. you have to remember we're the ones that put you on this board and we can easily take you off of it. you should be taking care of this community. we don't need higher cancer risk in the area. we don't need more respiratory illnesses. you are here to vote and vote no on this issue because we need to have better lives and better health. please protect the people of the community. the whole e.i.r. should be redone and meet california state standards to be can at a good healthy level because this project is just going to endanger more lives than you're going benefit. thank you. >> i'm a resident of the shipyard and live there with my wife and two children. i'm sharing a picture from the navy and the pink buildings is where the na

in the bayview? it sounds like you are working with a number already in your mind. >> supervisor kim: you are correct. i don't know the average a.m.i. in the bayview and i would like to get that information. based on the numbers that i saw during the inclusionary housing ordinance discussion, and in 2017, they were not this high. in fact, the levels i saw were far below 55% of average median income. again, it would be good to have that data so i understand how that average was selected. >> president cohen: i have no other questions. >> supervisor tang: all right. at this point, i don't see any other questions or comments. we will go to public comment. >> all right. i want all of you to listen real carefully. this is an example of price-fixing. and about this developer, you have a developer that is in it for profit. you need to get a developer that is part of a nonprofit construction development organization by means of going through the federal government in order to get a construction company that is

i've lived in the bayview for 12 years now. i oppose the current plan. i would like to bring up three questions/points regarding the development. first, when you go down evans and around where it turns into inez, and look up, what you will soon see is a monstrosity, an eye sore of nearly 20 floors that does not fit the neighborhood. has anyone considered this? second, the city should consider alternate tiff designs. there really instead should be a much shorter development. four stories, a gradation down to three stories, down to two, and then one. third, as you look down inez, all that public housing on the hill on the right will be blocked from its current views of the bay and the city. the value of the city's land comprising the public housing will be severely impacted. why is the city allowing the land to be devalued by the developer? why isn't the developer being required to pay the city and the bnya. the bnya has these rights and uses them for business. the developer because compensate both for the usurpation of these rights. finally, i would like

the bayview opera house, girls 2000, the 21st century academy, and the city college of san francisco southeast, just to name a few, the southeast campus. mrs. armstrong has supported the success of three initiatives has had a significant impact on the bayview-hunters point community, like network for teaching entrepreneurship, and the san francisco renaissance entrepreneurial center. mrs. armstrong has also served as the interim volunteer manager for the american red cross. she's done work as the program director as the american heart association, specifically running the heart association's program called black community programming. she's been a consultant for capital one and consumer action, and as the community relations drar for fazz's restaurant. so the reason we are honoring and bringing this lady here before you is just to recognize an incredible career of service that has largely been unnoticed and unsecelebrated, and i just wanted to give mrs. armstrong an opportunity to come before us so i can say thank you not only for the many contributions that you've made to district t

ellington, how important is keeping and adding parks and open space to the bayview? and how -- what do you plan to do about it? >> so if you look at the situation with our parks on this side of the hill, you know that our parks are some of the worst in the district. if you look at district 10 as a whole, you know that some of our parks are some of the worst parks in the city. and what we're beginning to see is all the growth is moving down to the southeast side of town. therefore, it makes sense that the next wave of upgrades that happen to our parks and open space should happen right here in district 10. there is something on the state level that is called the quimby act. what it does is allocate a certain amount of parks and open space per resident that lives in the area. i think we need something similar in san francisco. i have a dog. his name is leroy. when i walk leroy, it's unfortunate that a lot of our parks in this district have become hotbeds for homeless population. we have got to change that in district 10. we have to ensure that we make the necessary inve

india basin is located in the bayview-hunters point community. it's skbrust northwest of the hunters point shipyard and north of hunters point hill. the entirety of the the project consists of 38 acres and can be further divided into two components. as you see on the diagram before you, the northwest half or i should say the third of the site is proposed to be developed by rec and park. it consists of the existing india basin shoreline park and also the newly acquired site at 900 innes. 900 innes is most known as the site for the historic ship wrecks cottage. referred to as 700 innes, it consists of another r.p.d. project that we refer to as india basin open space, and then 700 innes itself, which is approximately 17 acres of privately owned parcels, and then also unimproved public works right-of-way. so if we zoom out a little bit to put this in a little bit of a context, this project is being envisioned as part of a series of open spaces within the india basin neighborhood, including the existing improved and new open space starting with heron's

the third street corridor in the bayview community is at an exciting point. we are attracting businesses. no longer are we plagued with the over proliveration of vacant storefronts. we are starting to turn the corner and get businesses on this local corridor, and that is quite honestly through a concerted effort and recruitment by many of the merchants already on the ground and looking to expand. in order to achieve the balance that will allow our existing community to grow and to thrive in place, of course, paying careful attention not to exacerbate the pressures of displacement as well as gentrification, there are a proposal that i'd like you to consider for your -- for your vote. what i'm doing is i'm proposing the following mix of affordable housing levels. first of all, i'm proposing a 55% a.m. i. that's 5% b.m.r., which translates into 64 units. there's a -- the second band is between 80 and 1:20 a.m.i. that is -- 120 a.m.i. so in total, 28% of b.m.r. units will be dedicated to this particular project. i'm happy to discuss the in lieu fee. right now, spe

seeing none -- okay. >> i'd like to know what's going on there in the bayview-hunters point shipyard. the newspapers were full of news this weekend, and i don't know what about this, you know? >> so -- >> the problems there. >> several meetings ago, i had announced to the commission that at the request of the mayor, leader pelosi, president cohen, they had asked that parcel a that was previously transferred in 2004 be retested or rescanned. even though it wasn't part of the tetratech site, it was part of the navy site. on july 6, 2018, they started the scan, and they -- to date, they've scanned over 90% of the public area and common areas on a-1. as you know, there's a-1, the hill top, and a-2, that's the hillside. usually, the california department of public health that is responsible for the scanning, produces a weekly report on progress. so this last -- the week seven, they discovered an item. the item that was discovered was a deck marker, which was 1.5 inches in diameter. it was 10.5 inches underground, and it was in a fenced-off inaccessible area with grass, so it was protected

the opportunity pass by. i worked on diesel for bayview-hunters point. i'm the only person i know of that was able to secure good neighbor agreements from all the trucking companies within our city limits. however, you're going to sit here and tell me the pioneer the person who did all the research and all the leg work you're going to allow them to use alternative fuel? who's going to stop them and where? only place close to alternative fuel is muni. are they going share with the truck drivers or the businesses that open up? answer those questions, please. think about that before you put our lives in greater damage and our health and well being. thank you. >> president cohen: thank you. the public hearing has been held and now closed. i want to give everyone an opportunity to answer some questions. i particularly heard from supervisor fewerer who may -- supervisor fewer who wants to ask the planning department question. what will the mitigation be for dust? i think there's some information that is erroneously put out there that people think dust is going

if you walk down 3rd street or in the bayview and you ask 100 people in the bayview if they know ms. princess, 99 of them would say, she's touched their life in one way or another. ms. princess is an inspiration to everyone around her. myself at the top of the list. when people ask, what does miss princess do at school? you don't know how to respond. to say she's a special education educator, tip of the iceberg. that's what she does between 8:30 and 1:30, but she works before school and after school as part of our beacon program. in fact, she's often the first car in the parking lot when the gates open and the last car out at the end of the night. she's the head of our dance team, she runs picture day, and i'm pretty sure she has more mentees than anyone in the history of the school if you ask the faculty, parents, community members, almost all of us would say that we consider her one of our mentors and somebody very valuable in our lives. she's crucial in our staff retention plan. we've coined the "ms. princess plan." if we can get her engaged with our newer teachers, it's part of 0

testimony that people said they saw other -- much of that soil being transported to other areas in the bayview-hunters point area and also near the shipyard, and so my main concern was that if we did adequate testing to see whether or not any of that residue has also gone over to the india basin area. so thank you very much for your answer. >> president cohen: supervisor? >> supervisor ronen: thank you. i just had a question about the notice in different languages. i know that you had said that was a mistake, but could you walk us through what you noticed in what languages and when? >> so trying not to give you all these acronyms. at the beginning of the environmental impact report process, we determined an environmental impact was necessary, so the department has to send out a notice saying, hey, we're preparing an environmental impact report, and that's called a notice of preparation, and that just -- that's even before we scope what's going to go into the environmental impact report. we kind of guess based on going through the checklist what we might find out there, but knowing that we're going to
