Environments, and then, a mix of other environments throughout for residential and more flexible retail and commercial use. The design controls i should say the sud along with the the proposition that the voters passed regarding heights and bulk and the design controls Work Together to assure again, that as i said, we have a livly skyline for mission rock. But that also but with a design controls, having more specific controls for character and modulation of the building. Finally, the regulations and amendments before you will call for further design processes as these projects as the buildings become ready for actual implementation. There will be a phase Design Review process that is actually something that the port will take the lead on, the Design Review of vertical or a building is something that the Planning Department will take the lead on and is outlined in the special use district before you. That concludes my portion of the presentation, and im now going to hand it over to adam van der water who will talk about the southern bay front strategy. Thank you. Thanks, matt. Gamp. Adam van der water from the office of economic and Workforce Development. I wont belabor this, but we did present the concept of a negotiated waterfront stretching from bay front to the brisbane border. Wed be happy to come back and present under more detail. Generally speaking, there is an area of growth in San Francisco, where we have about 36,000 exiting residents and 23,000 existing workers, but its experiencing change. Our office is engaged in a number of Major Projects along this area, from mission rock at the north through the Chase Center Arena currently under construction in mission bay, pier 70, which this body recently considered, the potrero power station which will be before you later this year, through to the former Hunters Point plant, india basin, executive basin and candlestick park. These projects, in and of themselves on top of any smaller projects that are occurring in these neighborhoods will represent approximately 20,000 new hows holds, a third of which we are aiming to be affordable, about 38,000 new jobs, and not aarea of oparea an area of open space equivalent to the park today. You heard phil, jack, fran, and jack touch on a number of these when we negotiate these are our private partners, we are looking to maximize a basket of public goods that include housing affordablity, transportation integration, sustainablity, Sea Level Rise protection, community facilities, open space, Workforce Development, and if there is existing use onsite, historic preservation. When we look specifically at mission rock, you see that they are meeting or exceeding a lot of those targets, and provide a set of Public Benefits that were extraordinarily pleased to present to you today. You heard much discussion about the 40 standard for Affordable Housing. We have transportation, and ill be turning it over to karly payne, mta, to discuss it in more detail. You heard fran about sea rise. There is an option to provide up to 15,000 gross square feet of Community Serving facilities, the eight acres of open space. And then what hasnt yet been mentioned is a very robust Workforce Development program with local Business Enterprise access, first source hiring, administration, citybuild jobs, and a commitment by the project to fund a number of trapiining programs to get pile drivers for these pile supported streets and landscape gardeners to provide ongoing maintenance that the site will fund. Happy to answer any questions or discuss this further, but wanted to link this back to a broader conversation that our office has been facilitating for the last two years, and before doing so, wanted to turn it over to karly payne from the sfmta. Im sorry. Before we transfer to sfmta, before we go back to the previous slide im sorry. Maybe i have the wrong copy. Before that one. The first square should be 33 will be affordable below 120 ami. So these tenants are throughout the southern bay front, and they are targets for all of the nine. Oh, not just including mission rock. Mission rock is for a phase of amis between 80 and 150 . Okay. So this is regarding the entire southern bay front, so i misunderstood that. Thats correct. Okay. So the front front has no housing onsite, but there is a totali totali total this is a totality of all the nine projects. Okay. Got it. Good afternoon, chair tang, members of the committee. Karly payne from sfmta. Just want to provide a little context for the transportation framework component of this particular project. So to remind you, this project is right in the middle of an area a number of long planned and now on the verge of being delivered transportation projects thats really going to transform the Transportation Options along the southern bay front but definitely and very intensely for this future new neighborhood. The central subway and the associated increase in t3rd frequency. As they projects come together and build out the greenway, elect 2k4 electrification of the bike way. What we see in this neighborhood right now in terms of Transportation Options is not what the future residents and employees and visitors to this site will experience. Its going to be a quite different landscape. So as adam mentioned, one of the components of the southern bay front transportation negotiation framework is transportation. When we look at transportation, were really looking at four things. First is site design and as youve heard from the project team, the site has really been designed with a lot of attention to modal hierarchy, supporting people walking, bicycling, taking transit through the design. We also looked to make sure that the Design Principles dont end at the design, but the site is being designed, and the site is being enhanced to the existing surrounding neighborhood. The second is Transportation Demand within this project. Theres a commitment to not creating or reducing 20 of auto trips that otherwise would be estimated from a project of this type through different amenities and offerings within the site to the future visitors and residents and workers of the site to really support them in making sustainable trip choices. The third is something that we expect from every project in the city which is to mitigate any impacts on the transportation system. And for this project, the kinds of mitigations that are expected are things that enhance pedestrians safety. For instance on 4th street through creating new Traffic Signals or addressing cueing or preventing cueing along the t third line to prevent delays. And then, the fourth is looking at the fees that the project pays. Now this project because of its initial application dates was grandfathered to a lower transportation fund, and theyre paying the full transportation sustainable fee equivalent, and we at mta with our City Partners have agreed with these revenues along with the pier 70 development which has already been approved will be reinvested in this area as opposed to distributed citywide, and the reason we feel really comfortable doing this is this neighborhood and southern of this area are really aware where the majority of this effort is happening and do deserve concentrated investment. The kind of investments that youll see is building along that network that i described earlier, so really looking at the t third line. Exposing and concealing gaps in our bicycling networks, and funding improvements for bus transit in the area. So with that, im going to turn it back over to phil, from the port. Supervisors, that actually concludes our presentation today. We are available to answer any questions that you may have. Thank you. Great. Thank you so much. 1k3 and so i want to call up members of the public who wish to speak. People flock to these different neighborhoods in saech search of something novel and different. Yet where i live, people drive through on their way to a different destination. Those that live in the area leave to go to other neighborhoods. Mission rock will create an inviting, inclusive, vibrant neighborhood drawing on the residents of mission bay, mission rock and south beach. Mission rock will bring about new friendships and relationships, the very essence of community. Neighbors supporting new small businesses. It will friday more Affordable Housing, presently in short supply, and with eight acres of open space, it addresses a desperately needed facet of urban living. It is important to recognize then in the undertaking of this project, the giants held numerous workshops and open houses. It was commendable the hard work and dedication exhibited by local groups such as south beach rincon hill Mission Bay Neighborhood association and the Mission Bay Citizen Advisory Committee whose voices helped shape this project. With their input and commitment to a better San Francisco along with civic leaders, social interest groups, and other political leaders citywide, the Mission Project is a model development. It is a winwin for all. The reverend Arnold Townsend said something at the Port Commission hearing january thank you. And as the timer comes up, youre welcome to finish your sentence, so if we can allow people to do that, thank you. Thank you. Hi. My name is stephanie mueller. Im here to represent delancey street neighborhood. I agree weve been friends and partners of the giants with at t park and the entire building of the community, and we are so looking forward to the possibility of jobs, the possibility of some Affordable Housing. Just as an aside, you know, as you know better than anyone here, delancey streets dedicated to helping people change their lives, and they spent two, three, four years in this neighborhood. When they graduate, looking for jobs or housing in San Francisco, its impossible, so we are so supportive and so excited about this project. And i just wanted to come here to be able to say that, so thank you. Thank you, and we love delancey street. Good afternoon, chair tang, supervisors kim, safai. My name is bruce, and im speaking in support of the items associated with the mission rock development. Im involved in the community, serving on the board and transportation rep of the south beach, rin son hill Neighborhood Association, however, my Public Comment today is being provided specifically as a native san franciscan and a nine year resident of mission bay. Over the past six years, ive had the opportunity, along with my neighbors, some for up to ten years being involved in the process fof the planning of the mission rock development. This included providing feedback on a variety of public documents and had Numerous Community outreach meetings and wosh shops. Nod to current residents and local businesses, the developers of mission bay were also involved in the process. This is good for us as neighbors, our community and ci city. As i mentioned, this helped shape the project we see today, striking a delicate balance on the amount of parks, waterfront access, housing, neighborhood serving retail and restaurants, preparation for Sea Level Rise and office space. Im not an expert in the financial aspects of development, but this project brought together an amazing and Diverse Group of stakeholders and experts to find the optimum mix of land uses while providing some flexiblity to ensure success of the project. There were some land minute discussions, thank you, supervisor kim to agree that this project could raise its Affordable Housing from 33 to 40 . With that, we have the parking along the waterfront, and please provide the necessary approvals to allow the mission bay waterfront to move forward. Thank you. Good afternoon, supervisor kim and supervisors. My name is vanessa, and im here to show my support for the mission rock. Im a proud san franciscan and living in dogpatch for over 14 years, and this community is my family. I lived in various neighborhoods, but this dogpatch is my really connect close hearted people. That being said, as board of member of the dogpatch association, ive seen amazing changes all around dogpatch community, the bayview district, mission bay, and mission rock. This is exciting. We are living in exciting i am times because our city is growing for the best. Heres why i ask you to support the mission rock project Mission Project will address the need of Affordable Housing which is desperately needed. As we all know our population is increasing, and having Affordable Housing now is key. Mission rock project will support area Median Income which will support low to middle income households, include Public Servants such as nurses and teachers. Mission rock will have units for transitional age youth, and id like to share with the last 30 seconds i have here how important transitional age youth is because i used to live in a group home. Ward of court of San Francisco. I did not have those services after i left the group home, and i think what the giants and mission rock are doing is great to support transitional age youth from foster and group homes. I ask that you please approve the mission rock project and lets keep the communication going. Thank you and have a great evening. Good evening, supervisors. My name is karen alschuler. Im a resident of San Francisco. I cant stay away from the excitement of the edge of a city of a great city or working to find the best role for that edge in the city or reaping the benefits of the investments we and private people city and the private people make in those areas, and taking leadership because its so visible. It tells the story about a city. In that experience, i think mission rock stands out for me. Ive been engaged since day one, jack, on the project, and i think its really stayed true to its values, open arms and focus on the public first. Id like to emphasize the way in which the community has played a significant rollover ten years, and in ten years i have to stay engaged, nimble, and inventive. We have made partners, partners from the local community, partners around key issues, environment and energy, and focusing then, inviting them to be our partners and making decisions are what this committee looks at, land use and transportation. We invited them to be our partners in order to get down to specifics. The neighborhoods and particularly the local neighborhoods where people have grown to create a Mission Bay Community in those years have been invited to the table to make choices about what is needed, what fills the gaps, what needs to be programmed, so that it will be rewarding for all. Theres no back door to mission bay, mission rock project. Its open to all of its neighbors, and i invite you all to come to the table to discuss, live in, and enjoy it. Thank you. Good afternoon, supervisors. My names corrine woods. Ive been involved in this project for more than ten years and in mission bay for much longer.

Weve had many, many meetings, many, many workshops over the last ten years, and the giants listened to the community. I get my park up front, which is really important. I want to thank all of the other city agencies who have cooperated on this. This has been a tremendous interagency cooperative effort oewd, mta, planning, public works. Everybody has worked together on this to get to a project that i hope will be better than mission bay, and i urge your support. Thank you. Good afternoon, supervisors.

I served in the Parks Alliance for two years and ever since completion of the big trail has been a huge priority for us.

The parka lines believes that giants have been extremely in addressing the city needs for more active recreation opportunities. We are truly thrilled to see the San Francisco giants commitment on prioritization of parks by the first phase of their plan. Were particularly pleased with the considerations that have been made to address Sea Level Rise, the creation of open waterfront and investments towards the use of alternative methods of transportation such
