consideration are a series of items this passage will secure the port's rich maritime legacy and begins a new chapter for san francisco as a port city. the pier 27 cruise terminal is one of the largest maritime infrastructure programs that the port has ever undertaken. for nearly three decades, the port has look for ways to develop a new passenger terminal the fitting a city like san francisco. passenger ships are getting bigger, and our current facilities are being taxed by today's passenger volumes. while past efforts were earnest, circumstances dictated that the past plans for cruise terminal developments never came to fruition. court staff, understanding the economic benefits -- port staff knew of another strategy would be needed if we were going to be successful. it is estimated that the industry brings in annually about $40 million of economic benefits to the region. the average contribution economically to the region is about $1 million. it also directly benefits our other maritime industries, such as longshore, a hug and tell, our pilots, and ship suppliers. the cruise industry is also vital to the ship repair sector, where

so the big picture answer to your question, supervisor is i do want to applaud the port, the city and the p.u.c. staff to figure out a way in this particular instance of keeping it neutral to the port. if that answers your question. >> thank you. i think i have about a minute and a half more. i pronal won't finish my slides but hopefully i will have some follow-up. i just want to return to the presentation and note this slide shows some of the operational air quality impacts of the america es cups in the number of tons that would be admitted in each category. the short powered project has such air quality benefits that it will resolve in actually reducing air quality impacts in three of four criteria pollutant areas. and this is just applying the first two years of the short power project as mitigation. the project will have a useful life of up to 30 years. so it's an ongoing air quality benefit to the district 10 neighborhood. the port is going to be considering on february 14th zero waste policy sociated with large events. i really want to call the department of the environment staf

comments i gave to you that there are several other important public benefits, including the funds for the city and port. the last point i made is that these are exceptional architects planning the development. i think it will be a bright spot for the city. thank you. >> i will keep calling names. lynette loishell,. >> good morning. i rise to speak in opposition to this resolution which are viewed as the first step in the destruction in what has been a long-term plan for the northeast border from. >> state your name for the record. >> paul ready, long-term resident and san francisco. many of you are too young to remember. i invite you to go to fontana towers. that was built before the public became aware of the possible destruction of public access and use of the north waterfront. your predecessors wisely took the opportunity at that point to say no more high-rises on the waterfront. this is the first step between market and the north waterfront. this planning commission is being asked to approve a project which is going to put a 150 ft. building right on the embarcadero north of market, blocking the vi

the port. we reject the 25 million to be split between the port, city and infrastructure financing. nd we assuredly not reject the payment to the mayor's housing department to support the housing affordability. this last one is astonishing and painful. our cities need for housing subsidies have not diminished. in fact, it only ever grows. worse, it looks like it will be expected to absorb many of the people, projects, and commitments resulting from the demise of redevelopment. [tone] my question to you is does it seem like a good bargain for the city to reject the benefits offered by the project in order to preserve a surface parking lot? president miguel: is there any additional general public comment? if not, the general public comment is closed. >> commissioners, you're now going to hear the public on the agenda items. if the agenda item has been reviewed and a public hearing has been closed, the opportunity to do so would be at this time. each member of the project may address the commission up to three minutes in this category. the only item on the calendar this would pertain to

we have a number of projects that are ongoing and it is an exciting time for the port in the city. e have a new mayor, so i think we have stability in terms of how things will evolve. i know that the mayor has been extremely supportive of what we do at the port, which is extremely important for us. many of you know the mission of the port and maritime, recreational, and commercial activities that are important. i wanted to reiterate the commitment that was important for this commission to share, leading in an important and transparent way in terms of overseeing the activities of the port, as well as serving as the formal approval body for various projects and matters that come before us, which we are expected to accomplish. importantly, we are here to reiterate that we act as resources to the port director interest that. our role is to help them and the port to be more successful in terms of their endeavors. support is very important -- the port is very important to business enterprise in the city. in some sense, our stakeholders are not just the city and county of san francisco, bu

and what i would like to do is urge the planning department, the city port and the america's cup and other authorities to continue to work with the environmental community and neighborhood groups to resolve any remaining issues and to work closely with us to make sure that these environmental protections are monitored and enforced. the mitigations even with some of the very good mitigation measures in the e.i.r., it will not prevent significant and avoidable and environmental impacts from occurring. so we plan to continue to engage in the public process as it moves forward to make sure that the project is implemented in a timely fashion and the other environmental documents being developed are finalized so that we can have an america's cup that is as clean and green as possible. thank you. >> thank you. john arnt. linda schaefer, mike savage. >> good evening. i'm john sindary, from the san francisco bomb pilot. >> we recommend them to move forward on the america's cup and the new cruise terminal. the cruise terminal is very important especially to the mary time commune -- maritime co

paid by the developer and future home owners, it is clear that this is an incredible deal for the port, the city, and the residents, especially the 99% like myself. i urge you to support this when it comes before you. justin amano. >> good afternoon, supervisors. my name is jennifer warburg. i am here representing a group which supports the seawall project. we believe that the proposed development is a significant improvement on the northern waterfront. 8 washington presents a unique opportunity to replace these with open space, housing, a renovated, as the official club -- a renovated, space- efficient club, the addition of greenrooms to the project, and a 45 and its preferred playground -- and a 45 foot preferred playground. this bids the scale of the surrounding neighborhood. this reflects the scale of the surrounding buildings and allows for density. given the proximity to much taller buildings, including the golden gate bridge parkway, the scale is modest and appropriate. we would also point out that this comes out of the northern embarcadero design process with community stakeholders, orga

lot last november, through the board process about economic benefits of the america's cup to the port and the city. we believe the 34th america's cup will bring to the port of san francisco and the san francisco bay a world-class venue for sailing well beyond the event. i mentioned a little about public access on the waterfront. we will be accelerating major public benefits, not just in the area of the piers, but as far down as pier 80 and beyond the port property. major port infrastructure upgrades, we have not contemplated a plan in either the capital plan or the waterfront land-use plan for fixing pier 30-32. we're getting the benefit of those upgrades. the tenants, we are very mindful of any impact on the tenants that would be displaced in the process. you should be proud of the real- estate division's efforts to do outreach to all of the tenants trying to make a concession easy for them, but there are many will see major benefits as a result of having the america's cup, both retail and maritime. we talked a lot about environmental stewardship. that has been a major theme of the planning effor
