updike. >> thank you, chair farrell. director updike, director of real estate. this particular project was in city scape by john king this spring and i thought i'd take the opportunity to use that visual for you. it's a very cool building. and the architecture has been described by mr. king as moorish make believe. so, i figured how many times will i get the opportunity to say that at this committee? so i had to bring that to your attention. [laughter] >> we're very excited to bring you what really is a partnership agreement between the city and the san francisco unified school district. this is actually the largest single leased premises by the city as tenant in the general fund family. county adult assistance program and the cal fresh food stamps is located here. we've been in this location since 1993. it was a creative financing agreement between a third-party ownership, a lease to sfusd and a sublease to the city. then in the end of august 2013, after the dee feesance of the debt, the school district became the owner of the property ~. so, now we are here fo

updike's department. and have come up with a ken except tail plan that has been reviewed with city planning. the site divides the [speaker not understood] in half. the northern and eastern portion of the site basically would become a build to suit for the city of approximately 4 62,000 square feet. i'm going to walk you through the initial massing concept for that in a second ~. importantly, this portion of the site is contiguous to a building that the city already owns. it runs south van ness. so it really is literally and figuratively a consolidation of the city departments. one of the objective of the master plan we've been working on is to give the city a presence on van ness, and also to accommodate a programmatic requirement, very large well played -- something very hard to do. ~ anywhere in the city, but particularly this part of the town. and at the same time, create a project that would be a good partner or good neighbor to the 565 units of residential that we are building on the south and wester

updike. supervisor mar? >> yeah, i wanted to just comment to mr. updike, i'm realizing also in reading the budget analyst report, reviewing it more closely, that it not only department of public works building inspection and planning, but it looks like it's also the retirement department and health service systems that would be consolidated into more centralized location. and given how much the rents have been increasing commercial property i'm seeing the tremendous benefit to the city for those. i did want to ask, the head of mayor's office and housing is here. i know the 550 units proposed and 110 below market rate is cited a a goal. and i know that we're looking at middle income residence as well. but i'm wondering if you can comment on the tremendous need for below market rate units and what you're doing to ensure that we're going to have enough to that, for example, workers from good will would be able to afford to live in the building they used to work in. >> supervisors, olson lee, director of mayor's office of housing. as director updike me

updike. >> thank you, chair farrell. [speaker not understood], good morning. so, this item is a master lease of 144 eddy street known as the empress hotel to empress, llc. it is a ten-year lease for the direct access to housing program. this facility has 90 residential units on five floors. ground floor includes a significant common area with a kitchen, laundry room and lobby. tide center, delivery innovation [speaker not understood] as we affectionately call it dish man gentlemen the day-to-day operation of the facility. they were selected through a competitive rfp process and will be providing property management services through a board approval that was he secured last year through 2018. the current rent in terms of the transaction is -- was 56,5 79.13 per month. through this renewal the new rent will be 60,6 87.03 per month. that is $674,30 per housing unit per month. we feel that is a very competitive rate. we're pleased with that ~ fairly limited increase. in future years the rent can

as director updike mentioned we're very early in the process, and the level of affordability specified in these agreements are related to the use of taxes and bonds for the financing of this development. so, these units will be affordable. at no greater than 50% of median income. so, they're going to be relatively affordable. and i presume that the workers of good will would be income eligible for those, those particular units. one of the questions is, you know, are they, in fact, low enough to actually serve those employees. but the base obligation for any new multi-family development based upon prop c is 12%. and, so, this is an increase in that air of affordability by 8 percentage points. so, there are going to be over 130 units of affordable housing here at 50% of income for which the mayor's office of housing community development is not subsidizing it. and we will actually be the other party responsible for issuing the bonds and monitoring the ongoing affordability and ensuring that the owner is indeed serving, you know, folks at 50%, the median income and below. the mayor's offi

drafts of things, you can go back, i believe it's -- i could be wrong but i think emory has john updike's computers and all his disks and materials, and you can go back to go through and see how he changed things. >> from arguably the most intelligent english novelist to the apocalypse, tell us about the engraving. >> the great german renaissance artist created this work. there are full-page web cuts of a story of apocalypse, the final book of the christian bible. a popular work throughout the middle ages and renaissance period, the work was originally published in 1498 in a latin and german version with his large scale wood cuts. there are about 15 in the work that illustrate the texts and here you're seeing the four horsemen of the apocalypse, one of the most if not the most famous of the work. albert took the art of the wood cut to heights that it still hasn't been surpassed. what were very rudimentary outline figures in earlier german and european wood cuts, he brings shading to and light and so much detail and space through just the carving of the wood. >> jon: and that was for, to g
