benson here, and so many others, that it's now become a place for families and people to really enjoy the entire city, and our signing today, because of supervisor cohen, because of jack sylvane, because of all the others, allows us to do something that often times we don't get to do. you know when you go down to pier 70, views and access are basically blocked by abandoned historic buildings, and that blockage has not been very good for us, and i know a few years ago when jack was working with kenneth matz, he got me down to a concert of all places, some music concert down there, and then, we walked around the area, and we got excited with made in sf and some of the other events we held down there, we finally for ourselves was discovering how beautiful it was and planning. and that's why we're here because the role of the port and planning working alongside for the city -- and jack, by the way, wanted to praise him, we worked with treasure island for many years, but he's in that spirit that we really wanted to get things done here that finally opened up access for everybody, and pier 70 project is all about that. it's about rediscovering what san francisco is and bringing all the people in that area together to enjoy nine additional acres of parks and rebuild with a lot of respect those historic buildings, make them useful. there's a lot of quiet artists out there because nobody paid attention, and so we want to bring attention to the fact that they've been out there, and we're going to work with forest city and they've committed to make sure that there's an arts center out there, community center will be built. and of course as part of my agenda, along with supervisor cohen's agenda, we're going to building a lot of housings in that area, 30,000 units of housing. a lot of commitments that were made by forest city, let me take the opportunity to thank kevin ginter and forest city, making sure that if we were going to introduce a project of this magnitude, its r had to have the amenities that we all enjoy. there's a really basic commitment that we're going to see through, and that is a lot of residents of district 10 are going to get to work on this, just like we're getting the work on the chase arena center among others. this project is not only going to be great for housing, for land use, for art, for open space, but it also will create the kind of jobs that we want. it'll also create revenue to contribute to the sea level rise challenges and the seawall. in fact, i think we're estimating maybe over the ten years, probably $1 billion of contributions to the seawall, and i think they're going to support us on another ferry service at the end of 16th street. these are all wonderful, wonderful attributes that i have to attribute to the people that have been working on this for over a decade, and i want to say thank you because this is why it was fairly easy for supervisor cohen to get a unanimous vote, because all she had to do was get in there, get the benefits. you know, it's easy, like all the proms that she does, so i want to say thank you to her, because everybody does get the benefit from this, and i feel strongly about this because we haven't opened up a lot of this area of the southern waterfront to everybody. it's been closed out, you know, you know, later on after this -- and of course, we're looking at treasure island, as well, but we also have other projects that will open up the waterfront. there's mission rock, the potrero power plant to the south, the parklands that we're beginning to identify with the blue-green trails that will dot it all the way through. you're going to see multiple transit opportunities for people to access, along with the housing and the jobs, so we're very excited about this. there's a lot of great benefits, but it took a while, and it took a while to make sure that everybody respected the historic buildings, that everybody used them. it takes a while tor historic preservation to also catch up with development, and in this area, it's not only catch up, we're going to pay a lot of respect because that is our city's history, and to respect that also means to reuse these buildings and respect the architecture and design of that history. i mentioned jennifer matz's team intentionally because she was part of the team on the port that worked so well and brought so much enjoyment to these projects. jack had a good time working with her on the same team, and that's the team that ken rich came from, all of that team continues to do wonderful work with the port, so they've given me a list of names that i make sure i mention, because i should, as the mayor, to recognize people who have minimally, six to ten years, working on a project and brought to it the final conclusion that has not only the unanimous vote at the board, but a continued for the next ten years, phase development that i think will be honored by not only the immediate residence debts, but the entire city will be welcome to come down here and enjoy all of the assets that have been associated and be part of it. elaine forbes, christine maher, ken matsuda. from the office of economic development workforce, ken rich, sarah dennis philips, cat daniels, mark majors, patrick mitchell, john ram, of course, beg dan siders, job switsy, melinda cooper. city attorney's office, they've been working a lot on language. a lot of things had to be balanced, a lot of things had to make sure, and in fact, i want to thank them because they just got some lawsuits on this, nothing to delay us, everything to go forward, and so thank you to the city attorneys be there with us and working on drafts. people like andrea ruiz, kriss tom and kate stacey. they had a whole host of other agencies who assisted them. our public utilities agency, our public works, and of course our contract monitoring division all had dedicated staffers that contributed to this project. all in all, the best projects are the ones where there's a tremendous amount of collaboration, a good trusting relationship with the developers so they know we're not trying to rake them over the coals and take money that isn't from there deservingly, but they will be honored from this project. we can't get projects done without a supervisor who's going to champion it along with the mayor, and let me introduce our supervisor, malia cohen. thank you. >> oh, my goodness. today's wednesday morning, which means that yesterday was tuesday, which means we had a board meeting. i'm still in shellshock right? but good morning ladies and gentlemen. it's good to see everyone today. we've really come to celebrate and kind of pass ourselves on the back. it's been a tremendous lift. this project has been in development for ten years, and i have been a part of it, certainly in earnest for the last three years. everyone looks good. you look good in a suit. i love it. and but i really wanted to tell you what -- you've heard -- you know about the economic benefit to san francisco, and we're really fortunate to live and to work in san francisco, but i really want to talk a little bit about the community impact, what a project of this magnitude actually means. it means, coming from a native san francisco resident, that we have an opportunity to interface with a beautiful shoreline that really has been locked away. when you go into the dogpatch neighborhood, it's almost like you're relegated to just the 3rd street corridor and maybe one block, block and a half, did he fe depending on what side of 3rd you're on. you can see the water and the bay in the distance, but you can't touch it. you're not able to bring your kids to experience it, and this project begins to breakdown those man made barriers and open it up, and the significance of pier 70 is it's going to be connecting where we are in the embarcadero all along the southern waterfront past the bayview project into the community. this is a tremendous project to get through, and i want to recognize the mayor already gave the names -- called the names 'cause we remember, but i don't think you guys understand how many hours of public comment, how many hours of neighborhood meetings, and then, just right before you get to a vote, you literally spend the weekend with the city attorney drafting amendments, making changes, and then, that's when you begin to talk to the colleagues -- excuse me, you're incident being with colleagues prior to this because you need to bring them along to make sure they're nothingable about the project so that they will vote for it, and that is where the challenge really lies, balancing your colleagues' perspective and what they want to see with the reality of what can actually be done, with the reality of what your constituents want to see, and i think that is where the rub is. i'm very proud to be on the team that has steered this ship to make this come to fruition. this is a significant accomplishment. pier 70 will deliver. this project will deliver a tremendous asset in public space, open space, office, retail space, affordable housing, i mean, you name it, and i've got to admit, i wish there were more development projects that got it. this team got it right out the gate. they got it correct. they went to the constituents that were affected in the area, and they said, what do you want to see? how can we help you -- what can we develop that's complementary to your neighborhood? everything from drawing figures, which was an interesting way to take notes, but it's a new fad, to beating back an appeal. if you all -- most of the people in this room have dealt with development, and you know how challenging it is. i don't want to belabor the issue, but i just want to come out here and to pay my respects because many of you have lost a lot of time in your life on this project. it's the truth. this is -- this was not easy, and i don't know where kevin is. where's kevin? is he somewhere around here? okay. i spent a lot of time on the phone with him as the project lead. the port, entire team and family is phenomenal. elaine, you have a phenomenal team here. mr. mayor, you have a great team with the city, not only the planning department, but your economic development thinkers and workforce builders, and we need this. this change is moving and changing and we need to make sure we don't leave people behind. that is a fear that people have, particularly a little south of this project, and i think the mayor and team in this project has demeonstrated that we're not going to leave anybody behind, we're allowing everybody to speak and be heard on this project. it gives me great pleasure to be able to come out and to celebrate, to christen this project. it's been an incredible, incredible -- contrary to what the mayor said, he made it sound easy, and i'm sure from his vantage point it was, but i'm here to tell you this stuff was hard. it's hard. it's difficult, but you know, when you have a team of professionals, it makes it a little bit easier, so i wanted to just say thank you to everyone who worked on this projects, from the lobbyists on down to the person that was at the neighborhood meetings. thank you. >> thank you so much, supervisor, you said so many important points, and you led a process that was not appealed at the end, an actual development project of 28 acres that did not have opposition, so it was hard getting there, but my goodness, we certainly got there, and thank you so much for your leadership. so to do this, we certainly had our vision and our plan, but we absolutely needed our partner to do it, someone put at risk capital up, to find private investments, to endeavor with us through all of those hard meetings and plan a benefits package that i really think is bar none, something worthy for other projects to see, and i say it's a 20 year process because we did the planning process first, but ten years ago we selected forest city, and that was the moment where everything really got going, and we began to see what was in our heads to something that could be real in the ground, and we're so fortunate to have selected forest city at our development partner, and i'd like to introduce jack sylvan who has led the development project. jack? >> this is really happening. thank you very much for all the kind words for our team. where we've gotten to, this really is a special opportunity, and the chairman of our board, james ratner tried to get out here from new york last night, but he wasn't able to, but when i asked him, what do you think is really important for you to communicate from you, he said please pass on that we think this is one of the greatest projects, the greatest opportunities in the country. they see some projects as they're traveling around. it's been said, just the -- the amazing amount of people and energy and time that goes into getting the project, a project like this, just to this point. the collaboration, the dead indication, the commitment, the -- the fighting, the haggling, the finding common ground as we get to a place like this, and mostly, i just want to pass on from forest city the gratitude that we feel for being at this point, the opportunity to -- to jump in and take what has been on paper and turn it into a reality. that started, really, with the mayor, thank you for your unwaivering support from the beginning of the process. it's crucial to get to this point. it will continue to be crucial as we start implementing the project. supervisor cohen, you're right. it was a lot of really challenging work, and your--your commitment and your leadership along the way was crucial, and it actually, i woul coffee. >> how many agencies does that take in order to convert a parking lot into affordable housing in the middle of the tenderloin? well no longer 7, of course, tndc of course, the mayor's office of housing, of course, the incredible financing organizations that came through the department of hud enterprise came in indicating to construction their compressed be contracted so all the agencies came together with tndc working with the community making sure at least one and 13 unit get built all accountable jobs are another stake and certificate of preference and having the schools and community they're all at stack if we can't get in housing built i'm here to thank everybody for putting this together and making sure wear on our way to do more housing that by the need and build the kind of housing housing for everyone but in particular the hardest thing to build 100 percent - even if a parking lot so many fencing mechanisms to meet the champion >> (clapping.) >> sew mr. mayor i think what is really special about this project the fact over 60 percent will think two bedrooms and three bedrooms apartment we know there a sdaerth of family housing no inform has an incredible impact on the economy and, of course, on the communities if you can't have families that work here afford to live in the city they living live and work we have much, much more to do across the country to make sure we're housing the middle-income and working-class this supplement will help to solve the problem thank you for making that neighborhood healthy and congratulations to tndc for the groundbreaking this >> good afternoon, everybody, and welcome to city haul. my name is london breed. i'm president of the san francisco board of supervisors, and i represent district 5, the amazing district that houses the incredible 3rd baptist church, which we plan to make official landmarking status today. aren't we excited? i just want to say one, praise god, right? praise god, thank you for being here, thank you for supporting this ceremony. we are honored here to have the mayor here to perform the ceremony who will speak in just a little bit, but i want to thank my colleague, aaron pes k kin for sponsoring this legislation, and thank you for supervise cohen for joining us here today, as well as our city administrator, naomi kelley. this is a wonderful day today. i'm so excited. remember when we celebrated with reverend brown and lady jane brown at the celebration with bill clinton, and i told you we would make this happen, and we made it happen, and look how quickly we made it happen? well, i didn't have a choiz because reverend brown was calling me every single day, every day fighting for this community, every day fighting for this community, and one thing i want to say about 3rd baptist church, which is my church, my home, thank you for welcoming me. thank you for continuing to a beacon of light in this community, who need a place of sanctuarn, who need a place to call home, who need a place to feel welcome. 3rd baptist has been doing this longer than almost any other place in san francisco. it is an unappreciated institution because of its advocacy for being on the front line for anything related to challenges with our community, the displacement of our community, the issues with our children in the public schools. every single occasion when there has been an issue in the city and county of san francisco related to our community, 3rd baptist is at the front lines, trying to make sure we speak truth to power and we change the city for the better, and so it is only fitting that we come here today in city hall, and we celebrate our community, our accomplishments, and all that we have done to make san francisco a better place, but more importantly, we leave a lasting legacy with the changes in san francisco making 3rd baptist church a landmark location, make sure that the next generation of young people, and the next generation know that we are still here, we have left a lasting impression. we have built this city, and we are not going anywhere. and so -- so with that, i'd like to turn it over to our mayor to speak a few words, and then, we'll get to a few other comments from some of the amazing members of 3rd baptist church. ladies and gentlemen, welcome mayor ed lee. >> president london breed, you have already said and expressed a lot of my feelings about this legislation today, but let me welcome each and every one of you here to the people's palace. this is your house, as well, and this whole city is all of yours because we want this city to continue the strong efforts of being inclusive, being the rainbow city, welcoming everybody, but also working for everybody, and i want to say thank you to each member of the board of supervisors that are here today, our city administrator, our commissioners, our department heads for all sharing this wonderful moment. but i also want to start out by saying thank you to reverend amos brown. your leadership on so many issues, reverend, kind of defines what the 3rd baptist church is all about, especially on challenges that face people of color. you've been consistent, you've been steady, and you've been guiding us with the greatest amount of integrity in whatever capacity that you have filled. and this is exactly why the supervisor and president breed said that when amos and his wife, mrs. jane brown, celebrated their 40 years at 3rd baptist church a few months ago, they didn't celebrate by themselves, it wasn't just community, it was people from all over the country that came in here: bill clinton, governor jerry brown, reverend jesse jackson, they all came out because they recognized the historic center that the 3rd baptist church represented, but they also know that the reverend not only speaks locally, he speaks nationally and internationally. so congratulations reverend on 40 years of your life here at 3rd baptist church and for the city and county of san francisco. thank you, reverend brown. 3rd baptist church has been around since 1855, ladies and gentlemen. 160 years! -- 52? 1852. okay, my notes, my staff, go back to the history books, correct that history. make sure we have the right history. it's important because, you know, when other parts of the country talk about their landmarks, and we get kind of embarrassed, what kind of history they're embracing, i think we're embracing the right history right here with a building that has housed people of african american descent and worship since 1852. and you know what's significant about the 3rd baptist? 'cause i've always felt welcomed, that it wasn't just african americans, what the reverend, what everybody else did was make it a center for everybody to feel comfortable with. that's the significance of 3rd baptist church. it was for everyone, and when you go there, and you do wrong things, you're going to be condemned. i've been there when people are condemned. sometimes i use the word, oh, looks like a crucifiction have been going on, but i've also been there with the greatest moment of blessings happen because people do the right thing. and you know, 3rd baptist does have that line, what's right and what's wrong. that's what we have to do with our kids, help them figure out what's right and what's wrong, and when you go to 3rd baptist, you can help them gain the moral ground. that's important to kids these days. they don't know the difference between right and wrong, we're going to lose more folks. this is what's important to 3rd baptist, and this is why it's been so welcoming to me and to so many others, so by making the 3rd baptist church a historic landmark today, we're not only preserving the building, we're sending a larger message to the san francisco bay community, we respect all the people who have been here for generations, we respect you, we respect the community. we honored the work that you have done. it's hard work to allow people to recognize what's right and wrong and do the hard work. it's the hardest work that we have to do today, whether you're holding a public office, being a minute center or bei-- minister or community activist, it's hard job, but it serves our community and our children, and we must try to do better. this has been an important home to gobs of community meetings, employment workshops, to incubators for employment opportunities, and it's also been a place where sadly, we've also had to send people away, who died in violence or met an early death. all of those aspects of life that are challenging the city, it's happening in a microcosm there at 3rd baptist in a collusive and collaborative way. so i'm just sharing thisome things, but i'll also share with you some strong feelings with people that i've got to hire in the community, doing entertainment work, doing community work, doing leadership work, trying to save more people, trying to get them out of condemnation and into salvation. we're all trying to do it, and in a large part, a lot of what i have to do is save more lives and make sure people live more robust lives in the city, the city sometimes where people say there are a lot of inequities. 3rd baptist is about equity. it's n it's about finding love and support. that's why it deserves to be recognized in our hall of landmarks, so i say to the rest of our country, you ought to be embracing the right principles when you're endorsing landmarks. you ought not to be endorsing symbols of racism and oppregnano oppression. this role that our community has played, this building will be known for when we place the final signature of landmark status. this is our history. this is your history. you've shared it with us. it's our history, it's the nation's history, right here in the middle of san francisco, we celebrate 3rd baptist church and everybody associated with it. thank you for being here, thank you for being witnesses to this wonderful important occasion for all of our citizens. thank you. >> thank you mr. mayor, and i just want to again thank the cosponsors of this amazing legislation. supervisor malia cohen, supervisor aaron peskin, and supervisor mark farrell, and with that, i'd like to bring up our leader to give us a history, abbreviated, reverend brown, we ain't in church. we trying to sign this today. amen? amen. amen congregation. reverend brown, our leader, come on up. >> good afternoon. madam president of our board of supervisors, supervisors peskin, cohen, to our city administrator, our friend, miss naomi kelley, i see other department heads here, but time would not permit me to name them all, and indeed to our fine mayor, my friend and servant of the people, mayor edwin lee, give him a big round of applause. and to all the members and our officers of 3rd baptist church, we have with us the chair person of our deacon's ministry, deacon alfonso campbell, chair person of our trustee ministry, trustee preston turner. this is a tender and touching moment for me, for i am privileged to stand to celebrate a fateful day, a day in which our honored mayor will sign this legislation that w l defines a faith community as a landmark, a mark, a memorial of what all faith communities should mirror. 3rd baptist was not founded in 1852 to just equip people with knowledge of spiritual things. thi3rd baptist was born out of struggle. she was founded on the anniversary of the abolition of slavery in the british west indies, and that struggle has continued cross the weighted span of these now 165 years. i want to acknowledge here that william duboyce celebrated his 90th third day at 3rd baptist on april the third, 1958, when paul roberson, after he had been maliciously ma lined and wrongly accused of being a communist, first came back to the united states, it was 3rd baptist church that opened its doors to a man who needed befriending. dr. martin luther king, when he had inaugurated the montgomery movement had his first appearance in the hallowed walls of 3rd baptist church in 1957. i said again that this is tender and touching for me, for i was introduced into this struggle at the age of 15 years old, when i organized the first youth conference of the national organization of the advancement of colored people in the wake of that malicious brutal murderering of em emma teal, and it was one year later that megawale evers asked my mother if i could come to san francisco to attend the national convention of the naacp, and on that sunday morning of the convention, where did i worship? at 3rd baptist church, and i was as a young lad from mississippi, so impressed overseeing frederick douglas haynes, sr., standing before that sacred desk who had the presence and the elequence that was greater maybe than that of prince albert as a gentleman, as a scholar, as a pretty muche mucher -- preacher, and a social activist, so that impacted my life further, and to think we're here today with mayor lee, members of department heads, and citizens with the city of san francisco to honor this struggle with this designation, and because of this designation, there will forever be known that 3rd baptist was here, was reckoned with and made a difference in the lives of people for the better. thank you, mayor lee, thank you all of you who gathered today for we have set the bar high. i'm a woman, but i'm wise. i'm an immigrant, but i'm industrious, i'm gay, but i'm godly, i'm saint, but i am sensible. that is the feeling of 3rd baptist, and thank you mayor lee for signing this document, so that in all common generations, it will be known that we knew more than how to walk the walk skb talk the talk as members of the human family. god bless you all and thank you all for honoring us this day. >> thank you, reverend brown. we had church a little bit up in here. he going to give it to you good on sunday. you all ain't ready for the chapter one, chapter two, and chapter three on sunday. he got some making up to do after today. thank you, reverend brown for always being there for our community and just really protecting our history and reminding us how important it is to remember what happened in the past so that we can celebrate that and continue to push and advocate towards the future, and so with that, i want to welcome up deacon campbell to just say a few words, and then, we're going to get to the ceremony. deacon campbell, come on up. >> good afternoon. to mayor lee, supervisor breed and president of the board, to my fisk university alum, supervisor malia cohen, supervisor peskin, and all others who are here, it is a pleasure -- and to reverend brown. don't let me forget to say that. it is a pleasure and an honor for me to have an opportunity to say a word or two on this historic celebration. this morning, i woke up thinking about what would i say because of the origin of 3rd baptist church out of racism and say it, and the development in the home of two members has led to this. i just know that god is good. i just know that this was meant to be, and with all of the preparation and the organization and all the things that have been done, this is the payoff. i can remember martin luther king, in one of his many speeches, made the statement that the arch of the universe is long, but it bends towards justice. this is justice; and we try to do that at 3rd baptist. we do it. we show as mayor lee said, respect to everybody, and we make every effort to show justice to love mercy, and to walk humbly with god. with that, i will just end by saying thank you and the fact that as long as there is a san francisco, there will be a 3rd baptist church. thank you. >> okay. i just wanted to acknowledge supervisor jane kim and thank you for joining us today, and with that, let's get down to business. reverend brown, it's time. it's time. come on over here. [ inaudible ] >> to mayor lee, and all the other folks around here, i just want to say thank you for all you have done for 3rd baptist church. you know, when i came here, i joined 3rd baptist right off, 'cause i've always been impressed with the church, but the biggest thing this church has done for me, it has so much carin caring, c-a-r-e-i-n-g, or c-a-r-i-n-g, i don't know which one. but any way, they're so caring. we have back on track to help young folks, because if young folks can't make it, it's no excuse, 'cause 3rd baptist has got it. we have a beautiful senior extension group, and oh, boy, i can't wait to get to that because we play bingo and all kinds of exercise and things for the seniors. but we also have a music department that's out of this world. you have to come to some of the concerts because you can't beat it. but the thing that has helped me is that caring way. let me give you an example. this morning, one of the members called me and said, mama smith, make sure you dress warmly 'cause it's raining outside. wasn't that beautiful? give her a hand. and not only that, this is what has happened to me in 4.5 months, i'll be 100, and i have to give 3rd baptist part of that because god works through a good church, so i'm just thankful to be here, and i'm so thankful for you all who have done so much for this church. keep on, because we are for what is right. we are going to be there forever, and we thank god for it. amen. [ singing amen ] [ applause ] >> neighborhoods in san francisco are as diverse and fascinating as the people who inhabit them and today we're in the western addition in district 5, where we'll hang with supervisor london breed and experience firsthand the renaissance underway at the buchanan mall. buchanan mall was connecting city blocks from grove to turk street and once besieged by violence, today it's revitaling community spirit with an urban garden. this is where anyone who grew up in the neighborhood and spend out any time outside we spent time at buchanan mall and we hang with one another and made it work. we had fun together. the good news is that it seems like the activation is bringing the community back to the area. this garden, i think, can do a lot for bringing the community together. my hope is that with these cooking demos, that will bring folks out and they will start talking to one another when they probably normally wouldn't do that. crystal jem started cook as soon as she could start and the coordinator for community grows an organization that teaches cooking and nutrition, sanctifying growing spaces and nourishing communities. >> it was to have a sea of calm for pause and congregating. i see more people out. if they are out here playing, it's still safer. it's a beautiful spaces and people are less inclined to mess them up. it allows them to want to instill some sort of ownership over this good thing. before we did this buchanan mall project i had walked through here -- hadn't walked through in ten years because of the dynamics of the neighborhood. >> for residents who kov founded green street a local business that offers re-cycling for the properties, activation took opportunity for the environment and community at-large. >> it's the but thy of the whole mission north and from the prison yards together and now we stand here today pushing good energy for those people around us. i learn businesses through this and now i can share business with my community. >> president breed: good afternoon, everyone, and welcome to the november 14, 2017 meeting of the san francisco board of supervisors. madame clerk, please call the roll. >> clerk: president breed? here. supervisor cohen? cohen not present fewer present. supervisor peskin? >> present. supervisor sheehy? >> present. supervisor tang? tang not present. supervisor yee. you have a quorum. >> please join news the pledge of allegiance. i pledge allegiance to the flag of the united states of america, and to the republic, for which it stands, one nation, under god, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. thank you, please read the agenda. i apologize, are there any communicatio communications? >> no communications. >> president breed: are there changes to the minutes? seeing none, seconded by yee, can we take that without objection. the board meeting minutes will be approved. madame clerk? >> clerk: items 1-5 are considered routine, if member objects item, may be removed. >> supervisor yee? supervisor breed? aye. cohen? aye. farrell? aye. supervisor kim absent. supervisor peskin. aye. ronen aye. supervisor safai? aye. supervisor tang? absent. there are nine ayes. >> president breed: those items passed unanimously. please read item 6-8 together. >> these are three ordinances. item 6 amends the general plan for the urban element and other appropriate findings. item 7 amends the
