This challenging. And so we helped to bring in Northern California Community Loan fund, who found a tenant and we also had experience working with cast in the buildings that moya mentioned in mid market and were proud of what cast has been able to do to help to sustain nonprofit arts groups, so i just wanted to endorse the approach. Its complicated, but weve done buildings like this before and were really comfortable with it and excited to see the project move forward. Supervisor cohen thank you miss cohen. Next speaker, philip . Good morning, supervisors, i thought that id just say a sneak in a Public Comment and say a few quick words about this project which is extremely meaningful to our department, to me, and to our city. We had a big long presentation here yesterday about our Strategic Plan with supervisor fewer and a core element of our Strategic Plan is to developing more open space and opportunity and high needs and emerging neighborhoods and another provision of our Strategic Plan is to celebrate our historic and Cultural Resources and this project does both and its been a slog. This building was given to rec and park several general managers ago back under Elizabeth Goldstein and it was a fixerupper to say the least and it has taken this long and numerous partners and i am very, very, very grateful to the parents, theres a lot of parents of this project, that has had a hand in its success. And i want to single out one person, however, in my thanks and thats nicole avoril. Nicole, when this project began, was actually i think the First Executive director of the friends of the geneva car barn. And she has driven this project from all sides and all perspectives for well over a decade now and i can say with some great assurance that we would not be standing here today before you on the verge of executing this agreement to finally renovate this site without her leadership and talent. Thank you. Supervisor cohen thank you. Any other speakers that would like to speaking on these items . Cool colleagues, anything that you would like to say . Supervisor yee. Supervisor yee sure. As supervisor mentioned that my district is a few blocks from there and i would say that i have been i guess in a car barn about five times now and every time that i go in there it gets more exciting as i realize that it might really happen and then we thank her for being here and continue to support that. I actually shine a light on this particular project as being one of the not only exciting but because of the partnership between the community and the city, the different departments and so forth and even the State Government with assemblymen bringing some resources to activate it a little faster, and im really looking forward to the day when the first part of it is going to be developed, hopefully before i leave office and so im very excited to make a motion on this if its okay with you. Supervisor cohen not a problem, absolutely, you can make a motion. Before you make that motion i wanted to say something. I have been on the board seven years and also a native of San Francisco and so its very exciting and growing up i wondered what that building was. And only come to learn exactly the history of the geneva car barn until i became a member of the board. And i know that supervisor avolo spoke a lot about it for a very long time so i think its fantastic that the supervisor is here today in the seat to help to get the vision that the neighborhood has had for this asset over or a little bit closer to crossing the finish line and were almost there. So its exciting and now im ready for the motion. Supervisor yee i want to say one more sentence which is that actually within a month of me being elected as a first time as a supervisor i was brought over to visit car barn and i thought it was my district and people said you will help to fix it and so forth and for several months i kept on talking about it as if it was in my district anden this i realized that it wasnt. Oh, shucks. I would like to make a double positive recommendation, motion, to send this out of committee with a positive recommendation to the full board as a Committee Report for december 12th. Supervisor cohen all right, thank you very much, and well take that without objection. Madam clerk. Call item 14. Clerk resolution authorizing the execution of the performance of a Second Amendment to the ground lease between the city and mission bay Affordable Housing for a Real Property at 150 barry street to 13, to 15, to 17, to 19, 23, 25, 27 king streets in connection with the zone refinancing and minor rehabilitation of the space at the commons.

Supervisor cohen thank you and im the sponsor of this legislation and i bring up miss faith kirkpatrick to share with us about this resolution. Thank you. Thank you, supervisors, i am faith kirkpatrick and im a project manager and working on the project and im here to request your approval for an access easement at the cityowned parcel at 1101 connecticut street and the size of the easement is 68. 25 square feet. And 1101 connecticut street is the parcel for a 72unit Affordable Housing project known as black x and its part of the revitalization project. This committee and the board of supervisors has previously approved a 75year grant lease with a 24year extension to the affiliate of Bridge Housing which is the developer of black x. And black x began construction in january of this year and its currently 25 complete and theyve completed the Foundation Work and they are about to start the framing work. The project is estimated to be completed in november 2018. And includes Infrastructure Improvements on 25th street and connecticut street. Adjacent to the project site as part of the master plan revitalization work. And the small access easement is required to give pg and e the permission to install an underground vault that requires three feet of access area around all four sides of the vault, three sides of that access are located in the street and the fourth side is located on the edge of 1101 connecticut, that parcel. Mocd supports this easement as its ensuring that the undergrounding of the lines provide temporary power to the project and if approved pg and even will schedule the work and the overall project will maintain its current schedule to be completed by november 2018. On behalf of the mocd and Bridge Housing i thank you for your consideration today and were here if you have any questions. Supervisor cohen thank you very much, faith. Lets go to Public Comment. If theres any member of the public to comment on this item please come on up. This is for item 15. Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Thank you very much. Colleagues, id like to make a recommendation to move this as a Committee Report with a positive recommendation to the full board. Supervisor yee so moved. Supervisor cohen thank you, taken without objection. So earlier i had mentioned that we would go into the im going to refrain from calling items 1 and 2 from the budget and finance federal select committee and were going to hear that at the end of our regular Budget Committee meeti meeting. So i just want to acknowledge that weve got two more supervisors here in the chamber and we have supervisor sheehy and supervisor fewer and hell substitute for supervisor yee in about 20 minutes, so with that said, call item 16. Clerk item 16, resolution approving and authorizing a longterm ground lease with 96 housing on cityowned land and wall street for a term of 75 years with 24year lease to extend and in order to construct a 100 affordable 94unit multifamily rental housing for lowincome seniors and formerly homeless seniors. Supervisor cohen thank you very much. The sponsor is supervisor ronan but we have miss sarah ama maral that will speak to this item. Good morning, im with the Mayors Office of housing and im the project manager. To approve a longterm ground lease between the city and the project sponsor of 1296 shotwell l. P. That has the agency and the Chinatown Community Development Center. The city obtained the land from oyster l. L. C. Who elected to satisfy the requirement of inclusionary housing for the new Mission Theatre development and by dedicating 1296 shot well to the city and the city had an r. F. P. To develop the site into 100 Affordable Housing for seniors with 20 of the units set aside for homeless and formerly homeless seniors and it was chosen to develop the site and they have predevelopment work and construction is ready to begin in march 2018. Once developed the property will be 85 feet tall with 94 units, and one unit reserved for a manager, onsite manager. And 19 homeless units at 30 a. M. I. And the rest is up to 50 a. M. I. And the ground lease will have annual payments of base rent and resil saidual rent, which is 10,175,000 and the city will collect 15,000 in base rent and to the incident that the residual receipts is available, they will collect an additional 1,205,000 and they will have a ground lease for 74 years with the option to extend for 24 more years and otherwise we are in full support of this project and the Analyst Report to we request that you move to approve it based on the Analyst Report. Supervisor cohen what did you say . Sorry. I was fumbling a bit. At the time i was saying that were in a full support of the project and we considering the budget legislative Analyst Report hope that you move to approve it. Supervisor cohen lets hear what the budget legislative analyst has to say. Yes, this project would be this resolution would approve 74 up to 99year lease for 1296 shotwell street and the tenant would be a limited partnership between the Mission Economic Development Agency and the Chinatown Development corporation. And the base rent would be set at 15,000 a year with a residual grant to go up to a Million Dollars a year which represents 10 of the appraised value of the property and this is Standard Terms for a ground lease for this type of Affordable Housing project and we do note in our report that given the lowincome threshold for the tenants of this property that it seems likely that there would be residual rent to the city over the term of the lease and we do recommend if, for example, a new lease and license negotiated at the end of the full 80year term of the lease. In addition to these items requiring board of supervisors approval, on september 19, 2017, the ssmta board approved purchasing 48,177 square feet, 1. 1 acres of property for 1. 15 million which is not subject to the board of supervisors approval. And the ssmta agrees with the proposed amendments recommended by the Analyst Report. Thank you for your support and im happy to answer questions. Supervisor cohen thank you, as you know theres a lot of conversation around this particular project with the neighbors, specifically my constituents janet carpanelli and robin chang. And at some point there was a promise made for use, access to to open space and public use. Can you explain the agreement that you have reached with the constituents of mine in dog patch . Currently were working on a spaceuse policy for the Community Room which is on the ground floor and were also looking at opportunities for the community to be able to access the second floor but yet keep our employees safe and secure during their operating hours and which are 24 7. So were in the process of looking at that as well as a space plan overall for the islis creek facility. Supervisor cohen to be fair you have looked at it for a very long time and this is the subject of many meetings for a couple years now, so what is the status and how close are we . We have a draft policy that were e viewing internally and we hope to share with the community soon. Supervisor cohen umhmm. And in this draft policy, i havent had a chance to review it, so does it have a clear access to the public space, to to the meeting room yes, there would be a way for the community to access the room thats on the ground floor as well as possibly to use the second floor space. Supervisor cohen umhmm. What about the requests i think that there was another element that was a point of contension was the a contention the amount of time to notify m. T. A. And the need for security, have those been resolved . Part of the access issue is access to the ground floor room and the hours that the m. T. A. Operates as well as when the Community Meetings would be so those are all part of a spaceuse policy that were in the process of finalizing. Supervisor cohen how do we remedy that issue . In terms of giving notice to the m. T. A. , so well work out the number of hours or days that we would need notice so we can have the staff available to let people into the room. Supervisor cohen how much notice are you proposing in this draft proposal . I believe that its three days. Supervisor cohen three days . So i just wanted to kind of go on the record for a couple talking points. As you heard in my questioning i have heard several several pieces of communication from residents in dog patch about the Public Community space that was agreed upon several years ago and i think that it was me as supervisor. Thank you for an update on the outreach and the collaboration with the community. I know that there have been several meetings and i would be interested in seeing the draft policy, i have not seen that. And im honestly have to authorize the m. T. A. s approval authorize m. T. A. s approved additional lease, extension without coming back to the board and maybe you should explain publicly why i should support this . The director of transportation has the authority to approve the extension under the city charter and so thats what we are requesting. Supervisor cohen so. All right. Thank you. Thank you. I just want to go to the budget legislative analyst to hear a few of her thoughts. I think that youre making a recommendation of four amendments if im not mistaken and detail them for us. Okay, correct. The board is actually under this resolution asked to approve the air space lease with caltran to a license and easement agreement and some Planning Department determinations. Our recommendations are generally to correct numbers in the report. The first is to amend the resolution to clarify that the rent is actually theres from 191 to 241 so theres a dollar difference with the lease and another amendment is to correspond to the commencement date and so that the total costs would increase from 2191, to 21903676 and the third recommendation is to change the cost based on the closing date, so in the resolution 1328185 and that is 138931 and the more substantive recommendation is that this is a 50year lease with two, 15year extension options to extend and the way that the legislation is written is that the board of supervisors would be approving those extensions upfront and would not have Approval Authority at the time of it coming due and we consider that to be a policy matter to not have the authority to approve the extension through the time. Otherwise we recommend approval as amended. Supervisor cohen thank you, i appreciate that. Madam clerk, did we take Public Comment already . I cant remember. Anyone here from the public that would like to comment on item 17 . All right, seeing none, Public Comment is closed. A
