land uses, the land use and industry that we selected here are based on the land use mix proposed for the project. other documents get at the estimated number of direct employment numbers. what we did was we applied the average wage to try to get an estimate or idea for what previous imp -- what employment would look like on the island. with an average income of $60,000 that build up and occupancy. >> to be clear, you expect during the construction plays -- phase of the project you expect to create 120,000 jobs and after the full bill that is completed , 2200 ongoing jobs. >> correct, that is phased in over time. jobs and so forth arts -- expected to come on line. supervisor kim: when you talk about an additional 1400 direct and induced jobs, can you explain what that means in detail bella >> you are talking about the permanent jobs? >> those are jobs that are associated with employees, direct employees in supporting the citizens that way. supervisor kim: you expect that to primarily be in small businesses? >> i do not have an answer for small or large businesses. >> -- supervisor kim

us land us in jail and if she had gone too far or cross a line that we would never cross? we felt this loyal to her for thinking such thoughts and resentful to the prosecutor for putting those images in our minds. swing -- swung between wanting to believe the best and unable to believe the worst in realized we have no idea how prosecution works. police lawyers and courts were confined to parking tickets and wells in watching perry mason. we had no idea how to help even if we wanted to. >> that is where we began. we were living in that space for a while. we did not know the pictures were and just saw the newspaper reports. nobody had seen the photographs. i felt as the mother of the boy those close to her daughter i had to do just to show you do have to help people in need. i felt i could not get on a soapbox to say this woman is innocent but i believe she believes she is innocent and i trust that she believes that. i set up a legal defense fund is so i could raise money. she had lost her job as a school bus driver as you can imagine. and there will be paid legal fees and i think people were grateful because it gave them something to do without getting up on a soapbox. things change during the children's services case because 30 of us were subpoenaed to testify. fellow parents, soccer coach, teachers, a violin teacher, people who have standing in the community and all 30 of us were shown the photographs and once we saw those photographs there was no doubt in our mind we had no doubt they were completely innocent and this was a complete overzealous and done just prosecution and the reach of the government into a family's life where it does not belong. that is what clarified its for everyone. we all knew somebody who trusted that they could describe them. but we still felt the hearing would go well if we would testify to do our part because the law she was alleged to have violate was different from the criminal indictment. and they had to pass the obscenity standard and to be considered obscene the community has to decide so we would come in to testify whether or not we thought they were obscene to establish community standards. the prosecutor in the children's services case, the agency's supposed to have the well-be

helpful for us to have some kind of matrix or some kind of comparison before us that showed what was in the old redevelopment plan and its various related documents that related to land use and what-not and the new area plan proposed before us and that way we could have seen more clearly what the implications were for adoption at this point. on -- where are we? consistency 101 findings, there's a proposal and i don't know if this has been done, i don't think it has, for treasure island transportation management agency, staff, is that -- has the board of supervisors created that agency at this point? >> no, it has not. commissioner sugaya: it has not. i don't have mr. radullahovich's communications to us but it seems strange to me that we're creating yet another transportation authority. one of the problems i think in the bay area region-wide is that there are too many transportation authorities already and it's very difficult, extremely difficult, to coordinate activities between the various agencies and it just seems to be bifurcated and to add another one specifically for theiled -- the island doesn't seem, for me, a good idea. in terms of housing under policy 1.9, is

land use committee. >> supervisor ken, that is correct. we recommend item 32 b referred back to the land-use commission. supervisor kim: thank you. i would like to amend my motion and re-refer item 32 to the land use committee. supervisor chiu: colleagues, supervisor kim wants to re-refer item 32 back to land use. is there a second? seconded by supervisor mirkarimi. any discussion? those items shall be handed -- handled as discussed. item 37? >> item 37, ordinance amending the planning code to require any business selling prescription drugs to the public to post display materials explaining how to safely and lawfully dispose of unused prescription drugs. supervisor chiu: colleagues, this is item 37. any discussion? supervisor mirkarimi. supervisor mirkarimi: thank you, mr. president. first of all, i would like to think the department of the environment and the mayor's office for their help with this particular legislation. if you will recall, we were trying to advance legislation that had never been advanced before in san francisco, and that is to create a repository for people to take back

what we do not think about sometimes is the poor use of our land use decisions that have really riled our past. as you all know, there is quite a bit of commuting. the traffic and commuting distance is quite substantial, one of the worst in the nation. there is an extreme lack of housing affordability. some have actually said that it is the worst in the nation. what we really need is much better coordination. treasure island is definitely an answer for all of these areas. we strongly endorse the project. it is a great project for the region, a great project for our economy, our people, and especially san francisco. as you saw today, there are many positive impacts in the short- term and long-term, and we look forward to getting the ball rolling with our strong endorsement, and we suggest that we get it goin

land use. this week the land use committee had a special meeting on the morning of tuesday to consider parkmerced. at that hearing the board president, david chiu, introduced a package of amendments that were intended to strengthen the rent-control provisions of this agreement. the highlights include providing tenants themselves to become a third-party beneficiary of the agreement, and they would be explicitly vested and given rights to bring legal action over enforcement of the agreement. two, instituting explicit financial penalty that would be about $192 million if the developer challenges the provisions of rents control in court. the proceeds of which would be used to subsidize the rents of relocated tenants. three, designating certain blocks of the existing garden apartments to remain until the last phase of development, which is expected to be over a period of about 20 years. requiring the developer to allow a group of relocating tenants to collectively move to the same block of new housing if they wish to stay together as a mini--neighborhood. and an amendment to the design standards and g

us under item nine, -- a review of the board of supervisors and the board of appeals. >> [inaudible] i am here to give you your weekly update on the planning and when used by the supervisors. -- and land use by the supervisors. this concerns action items associated with the treasure island project. first, at the request of supervisor wiener, the land use committee held a hearing to consider the impact of historic preservation policies on public policy goals. staff the the board of supervisors and the public through a presentation outlining where in the planning code in general plan historic preservation is relegated above the local level, as well as parking policies and requirements, which are two different things. in addition, other city departments presented, including the library, in mta, the mayor's office for housing. as you have heard, there was a large turnout for public comment on both sides of the issue. members of the board were willing to plan on a wide range of topics, including the ethnic and cultural diversity of staff and consultants working on historic preservation surveys, the number of -- and a specific project question related to surveys. at the informational hearing, i

redevelopment project, the land use of gordy was lifted from the planning commission and the planning department. in this case, we are not adopting the redevelopment plan. the land use and jurisdiction remains with the planning department. what is getting complicated is that this is also the trustee for the public trust. they have authority over trust lands. that is in essence were all of the development or most of the development is happening. these are all being built on non trust lands. these are the various plans that have been laid out here. >> could you explain how a d4d in this or any other instance in which is used is affected by future changes in legislation? >> the development agreement that is before you blocks in the entitlements, recognizing that this project is going to be built over 15-20 years. there is the recognition that you are going to take time, but you are a entitling the project now. fifth the city comes in and says we want to reduce all heights down to 40 feet, that would not affect this project. it would not have an effect on this project. >> basically an entitlement contract. in this instance, it is over a longer period of time. that being

us. give us access to the lands. let us start drilling. put our people back to work. >> reporter: what about the high prices at the pump? even president obama acknowledged new drilling won't have any short term effect. saying there are no quick fixes. the president again today called for the elimination of government subsidies for oil companies, that $4 billion in subsidies we heard about this week. there's supposed to be a vote in the senate on cutting those subsidies, but at this point it's not expected to pass. >> we'll be watching for it. >>> the president's announcement today is also surely a reaction to republicans who have been blaming him for high gas prices. one of those republicans, former arkansas governor mike huckabee is about to make an announcement about the 2012 campaign. is he in or is he out? who else is running? tonight, the field is worried that it's not deep enough. >> reporter: mike huckabee is the alfred hitchcock of politics. a master of suspense. >> i plan to make a little news with some announcements at the end of

use of our land use decisions that have really riled our past. as you all know, there is quite a bit of commuting. the traffic and commuting distance is quite substantial, one of the worst in the nation. there is an extreme lack of housing affordability. some have actually said that it is the worst in the nation. what we really need is much better coordination. treasure island is definitely an answer for all of these areas. we strongly endorse the project. it is a great project for the region, a great project for our economy, our people, and especially san francisco. as you saw today, there are many positive impacts in the short- term and long-term, and we look forward to getting the ball rolling with our strong endorsement, and we suggest that we get it going as soon as possible. thank you so much. >> i am here representing catholic healthcare west and st. francis and st. mary's hospital. we are here because we are very impressed with the division of this project. we want for you to support it and move forward with the development. we are very impressed because of the many things that had been said here before me, but most importantly, because of what is included when it comes to the health care of the population on the island. we look forward to being part of the dialogue that will move forward quality health care on treasure island. thank you very much. >> good afternoon, supervisors. i work for the treasure island homeless development initiative for the last seven years. not only have i had to fill numerous inquiries from the public about low-income housing opportunities in which there is more demand than there is supply, i have watched how executive director williams and our other collaborative partners have worked tirelessly for the past 10-plus years. it is unfortunate how the proposed state budget has affected the project, but miraculously, all entities involved have altogether collectively and financially in order to move the project forward. i support the plan, and san francisco needs it. i hope you can support it as well. thank you. supervisor chu: thank you. >> good afternoon, supervisors. i am the chair of the treasure island/ yerba buena island citizens advisory board and have been in that capacity since its inception in 2001. we're a diverse group of individuals, including longtime residents of treasure island and your but when the island, each with his or her very unique perspective. as i said, this is our 11th year of meeting, and over those years, we have held literally hundreds of public meetings. i think it is close to 300. since the beginning of last year, we have held 40. through april of this year, an additional eight. during that time, we have reviewed these entitlement documents, and over the 11 years, we have vetted and number of items including but not limited to community benefit sea level rise, global warming, transportation, sustainability, open space, bike and pedestrian paths, wetlands, on and on and on. the process has been extensive, and on the april 9 meeting, we took action on the recommendation to the tida board approvals of the final transaction and recommendation entitlement documents, including the items on your agenda today. of the current 24 members, 21 were present, and 20 voted for it and one against. in addition, the four residents of -- for residents of treasure island who sit on the cab voted in favor of the recommendation. i hope you look forward to -- you move forward to the full board with you're a busy at the recommendation is very exciting project and additional neighborhood to san francisco. thank you for this time. >> i guess good afternoon, supervisors. i represent spur, san francisco planning and urban research association. spur has been following this and supporting it for all the years it has been going on, and we urge you to approve the items on the agenda and move it forward. we have a different out what somewhat than our other speakers in that we are interested in the physical planning of the project and want to point out that this is really the only opportunity san francisco will ever have to do a new neighborhood from scratch. so let's do a wonderful 21st century neighborhood and show the world how it should be done. i think the plan for this supports that very strongly. so please help move this forward so we can get on with a. thank you very much. supervisor chu: thank you. [reading names] >> good afternoon, supervisors. my name is emily rappaport. i am a long-term resident of treasure island. i am president of the good neighbors association. i am also a career transition services specialist at treasure island job corps, so i both work and live on the island. i have participated in the vetting of this project and as a market rate individual, i am also very upset at the cut in affordable housing. i am delighted that you have decided to help us get a 5% back that was taken out. it would be criminal to do otherwise. this is a wonderful opportunity for the city. this is a wonderful opportunity for those of us who live on treasure island. it is a beautiful plan, and i hope you will bring it forward and support us in this. thank you. >> good afternoon, supervisors. in the program director for catholic charities. i am here today in support of the plan. i have worked on the island for 11 years. i sit on the tihdi board and the good neighbors board as well. we support this plan. i have brought a client of our program here to speak to you briefly about her experience living on the island. thank you very much. >> i have lived on treasure island for nine years, and before that, i was homeless for 13 years on the streets of san francisco, doing drugs, and i got clean and sober, and once i was clean, i needed housing. housing on treasure island save my life, me and my young son. to cut any funding for any housing for any homeless progra

nothing of this is in the people use it people is right about anything wayne for example and they tell us look they're only used seventy percent of their cultivated land or is collective farms used all of it what they don't see though is that at least the winnies able to cover all eats needs using always seventy percent produces more green than ever we don't have free media just tries speaking to a television journalist as we're talking now over media's monopolised semi-independent self censored newspapers have a circulation of fifty thousand a week and at the same time we get two million copies of the soviet bill or is telling us that the president is a saint and we've never had a better leader and that we shouldn't look for anything he's lickspittle riders will drive you mad or is infected with the serve all mentality is people are actually no longer the russians their location because henchman well whatever you call it servility or whatever the fact is that people are voting for lucas chunk of which is no they're not but most of them supported bush and co nothing of the sort i say this time and again no civilized country has recognized these electi

attempting to do, make a commitment to the investment that needs to be made on the land use side, to then make the land use pattern and the settlement pattern much more viable for service by transit and much more efficient in terms of the pedestrian trips and so on. because it has a significant impact on this region's ability to meet the sb375 target and also the cost of transportation in general, the societal cost of transportation. it's have a important thing to do. it's very clear to me that not every jurisdiction is acting with the same level of responsibility. regardless, i'm not taking a position of whether the bond -- the point is there is an attempt to providing investment. and one of the points that we make in our recommended principles is the nontransportation aspects need to be funded with nontransportation revenues. this can't be a zero sum gain, you put it in housing being and wind up with not enough infrastructure anyway. commissioner avalos: and one can leverage the other. >> absolutely. chairman chu: thank you very much. if there are no questions at this time, why don't we open the item for

uses? >> there are other uses. we are state land, not city property. the state land has a lot of uses. the office has to be maritime- related, unless it is an historic building. our facilities have to be for the people of the state of california. they have to enhance that visit there. they're not local surfing. we cannot do any residential on the waterfront and we cannot do any hotels over the waterfront. there is property on the embarcadero for that. >> somebody told me there were 11 different agencies, probably more that regulate the use of the space. >> it is the city and town of santa cisco, the port, -- of san francisco, the port, the army corps of engineers, fish and game, boating and wildlife. >> every time somebody wants to do something, and has to go through all of these review agencies. >> it makes it very interesting. >> the port is really a separate administrative jurisdiction. the ferry boat we are not on the -- a theory but we are on is not regulated by them. at the port has its own authority granted by state law, state charter which says they have their own building depar

us not put on a sure raid -- a charade that this is an amendment that is going to help move the project forward. superivsor mar: in a to three for our land use committee meeting this morning, we heard -- in a three to four hour land use committee meeting this morning, we heard pages of amendments from president chiu to increase rent control protections for the unit's scheduled to be demolished. i will say i think the planning department staff and others have put together a wonderful project on paper that really is a sustainable eco-city in some ways, meeting our city and regional housing needs. i appreciate the efforts to protect rent control units and to offer power units to existing garden apartment residents. i also really appreciated the community hubs that are created within walking distance, and a lot of the sustainable planning that went into the project. but when it comes down to it, my visit to parkmerced and my history of working at san francisco state for 28 years, often being around the community there, i do see it as a viable, vibrant community with shared backyards and space. i feel very strongly that like someone said in the hearing this morning, the demolition of those 1538 units is equivalent to clea

slide, but as you all know, the waterfront land use plan was adopted in 1997 unanimously by the port commission, and conforming amendments to the waterfront land use for the nets were adopted unanimously by the board of supervisors. but the special area plan lagged adoption of the waterfront land use plan and specifically the problems that the port problemsbc portan -- and bcdc grappled with. that basically meant in shorthand that if you wanted to do a peer rehabilitation project, that you either had to remove half of the pier or convert half of it into a park, and that frustrated most proposals to do new projects with these old piers on the waterfront. additionally, bcdc had water- oriented use restrictions, which basically meant just maritime uses or recreation passive enjoyment of the day. bcdc did not that acknowledge the broader sweep of public trust uses we have in our projects now. over a three-year process, led jointly by bcdc and eight port at the time -- and the port at the time, the resolution was adopted in 2000, essentially lifting the water-oriented use restrictions and allowing a broader range of public trust uses and replacing the

using roughly 3 acres per tower, for 100 hours, you need a 300-acre plot. to build out the size you need, you are not talking 300 acres, you are talking 3,000 acres. so the land use of wind, the land use of solar, the land use of biofuels, these things have not been thought through to the point that we could ever scale up this kind of energy as a successor form of energy to the existing infrastructure. in the oil and gas case, the united states uses 20 million barrels a day, every day. 10,000 gallons a second, which is a figure you can better recognize, perhaps, than 20 million barrels. we produced 10 million barrels a day in the 1970's and 1980's. today we produce less than seven. that means we have to import two-thirds of the crude oil we use every day. we have an administration that uses the past tense for oil. as the president has said on numerous occasions with respect to tax deferment for oil companies, why do we subsidize the past, when we should be investing in the future? i have to really say to the administration, using oil and gas in the past tense is domestically misleading and internationally dangerous. dangerous because our national security is ever more dependent upon t

use district and height and bulk districts and as previously presented to you, the s.u.d. contains the land use and core controls for the island including establishing new zoning districts for the islands, designating permanent land use, maximum parking ratios and establishing permit review and procedure for individual building projects. it refers to the building design document above you for approval as the supplementary set of quantitive and qualitative design guidelines. no other part of the planning code will be relevant to regulation on the islands. the design for development document which in addition to rereflecting the controls and the special use district contains a more comprehensive set of building standards and design guidelines for vertical development. the d for d also lays out design for the island and streets and open developments but these are referred to as horr zontle development under tihdi. key aspects of the special use districts and d for d including height limits and bulk are problematic elements that would be vested to the developer in the development agreement before you so any future proposed changes to the s.u.d. or d for d that would affect these aspects of the project would require with

reference the plan but instead present policies to provide the foundation for land use and development and the special use district to be added to the planning code along with zoning amendments. the references designed for development and uses its standards and guidelines as a basis. the main financing mechanism also has been revised under redevelopment plans to one or more infrastructure district mechanisms. as a direct result it would change from 2400 units discussed in the e.i.r. to. 2,000 units. it is envisioned to an area plan from a redevelopment plan. some are in response to public comments on march 5 public review draft. the maximum height limits and maximum parking ratios for commercial uses have also been reduced. as described in the memo, none of these present any new information that would alter the conclusions presented in the draft e.i.r. consequently they do not trigger the need purr suents to ceqa. also you have been presenteded with a copy of the letter. none of these letters raise new environmental issues that have not already been addressed through drafert e.i.r. at this time i would li
