Left, is the entrance to the wholesale flower market, which is over on the left side of the market alley. You can see the market alley opening up onto fifth street, so as you walk along, you will be able to see into it and be drawn into the activity going on there as you walk along brannon, you will walk along the market hall, seeing all the different activities going on there. Further down brannan you see, through to the market alley from the street, through the oculus, and from the freeway, the building is broken up into several different masses that are all a related design, would give the building a sense of scale. The Gateway Building on the west end creates this connection through the midblock of the green and really creates an identity at the western end of the site. Landscape is used throughout the project, and it will all be native and low water using, street trees have been selected, as well as trees to protect the on sight. You have ten minutes, im sorry. Two quick things. Wrap it up quickly. Sure. The building is designed to be built in phases, so the first phase is the block building were the market hall would be in the bottom. The market hall would be the second, and Gateway Building would be the third. This is the variance if the flower market chooses not to come back. It includes the childcare, the Community Centre opening up more popo through the market alley, and having more activity space. Otherwise, you wont know the difference of the project from the outside and from a community perspective, it will really look the same. Thank you so much for that presentation. Do you want to Say Something . Okay. With that, we will open this item up for Public Comment. I do have three speaker cards. [calling names]. [indiscernible] i would like to start off by expressing our appreciation to Kilroy Realty and to the city, especially oewd and the citys Attorney Office in helping us work on sculpting a Development Agreement which will give the market tenants the option to move into a new permanent sight and not returning to its current location. When the original agreement was made for building the new market at its current site five years ago, we did not know that just around the corner of fifth street and brannan street, they would be around 4 million square feet of new office space, with the increased density and traffic, vehicles and pedestrians and bicycles or vendors, customers, his of pliers and Delivery Companies would have a very difficult time operating the flower marked at its current location. The Development Agreement gives us the option of moving to a no location in which our vendors can sustain their owner operated businesses. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. My name is fleming. I am part owner of one of the tenants of the flower market, and we appreciate people working with us trying to keep the flower market together. There are very flew few flower markets in this country. We have seen others going through the same situation like us, like in boston and other places where they had to move outside of the city to the suburbs, and the market itself felt a little bit apart. When somebody does move, we just did not have the funds to put into it. This enables us to keep the flower market together and in the city and gives us a place to function. Thank you. Thank you, sir. Next speaker, please. Bran nan. A lot of our needs for housing space and sustainability and Economic Development have historically been pushed around about because ever this Cultural District Partnership theres a huge opportunity here for the city to coordinate with us and prioritizing a gateway on sixth street. The cultural district has already been in discussion with kill roy and they have expressed interest including a gateway as part of their interest in the community. As commissioners who have an obligation to built a sustainable environment theres a chance to be champions of the soma. To have Community Facilities and a gateway included in this Development Agreement is super doable and the absolutely can be done to increase the visibility of a community that has been fighting to stay here. It can pave the way how Developers Work with the city and with soma filipinos moving forward. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Charlie lafferty asked me to give the commission his regards. He was unable to make it tonight. While the operating engineers and our fellow brothers and sisters in the building are excited about this project and the number of jobs going to bring to the area, we also have some concerns regarding the amount of office space being used in this project. We feel that this, along with the other south of Market Office development is going to put a large choke on the amount of Office Space Available for Development Due to the prop m requirements. We would like there to be a gradual phase in that considers the amount of available labor for these projects. Certainly skilled and trained workforce that is going to make these projects successful and make them come in on time and on budget. Theres not a million of us out there and so we want our workforce available for all. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Sue. The flower acceptedder vendors g to stay in the city. Theyre fighting to stay south of market although the vendors are fighting to stay in the city. And the Planning Commission has big decisions. The reality of the Office Development in the next month including the one that was disapproved is all for the tekin does tree. Conveniently, the cal train station is down the street and the housing you are being asked to improve next week is a thousand units of market rate housing with no on side affordability and and it will be upper income rental housing to serve the tekin does tree. Notekin does tree. Not the filip. It is being approved week by week, month by month. One of the messages you got to give to the developer is the alternative without housing is not acceptable. If the flower vendors move to east of Bernal Heights and i would welcome them there. Its the section the Produce Market has moved out of Golden Gateway but its not acceptable to say you are going to build four or five million square feet of Office Development for the tech sector to get on their train and go down to Silicon Valley conveniently without taking the pressure out of the housing market. Theres a crying need for housing to be built to serve the existing people that are being moved on. The people that work in the city and in your restaurants, in the hotels in this city and the stores in this city that people still pat toront patronize. Who are going to be the vendors in this marketplace. Theyre not going to be able to live in the city. What is the message that you are going to give them to have tech offices that use space efficiency and so next week a thousand units of housing in kill roy, you are in the crosshairs. Thank you. Thank you. Any other Public Comment on this item . Public comment is now closed. Ok. Go ahead. Please. Come on. Thank you. Good afternoon. My name is Christine Hanson and im a San Francisco native. I have had the lucky opportunity to personally know Flower Growers who relied daily on the flower mart. These folks grow locally and they give modest income. My concern is when the developer said that some day a replacement property may need to be found for the flower mart in our land locked city land is precious as is our flower mart. Please protect them and make sure that possibly in four years time, theres no way that they will be told oh, well, theres just no land. Please dont allow that to happen. I am concerned. Thank you. Thank you. Any other Public Comments on this item . With that, Public Comment is now closed. Commissioner richards. Walk us through the spread sheet again and just one of the things we heard was that granting all the 1. 4 million square feet to killroy would hurt other projects when they were able to put their shovels in the ground. Could you help us on that . Sure. It would be great for the public to understand. The only allocation that i know the numbers on are the three that are in front of you in this current summer phase. Which are the 590 brand and allocation you approved last week and then the project which is coming in for the first phase some time this summer as well. And so, i dont want to turn that off again. What we know for certain right now is that right now, we have the actual allocation in the bank of 2,892,466 square feet and in non port projects in front of you this summer, the total allocation is 2,564,765 feet. We expect the port to come in the next several months with a allocation request for 60,000 feet. Which totals 2,624,765. It leaves a little bit in the bank. A small amount in the bank. In the fall and on october 17th you will get your 875,000 replenishment giving you a total of 1,142,000 square feet. At that point, we expect another chunk of projects will come forward. Theres a number of projects in the cue. I dont know what order they will come in and i dont know exactly which onc ones theyre coming in. Theyre being asked to phase. You feel comfortable . Its safe to assume you feel comfortable that the phasing plus the timing is going to allow a lot of projects to move forward . I think it does. Particularly because we know that the port will come in after probably in Second Quarter next year and then theyll pull the bank negative and the following year after that there wont be any allocation available because it will be replen issued i reple fall and the port will have taken everything left in the bank. In the fall of 2021 you get another allocation and you end up with 810,000 in the bank and the next round of projects will come in front of you and some of the second phases and other projects and so basically by looking at the way the port comes through taking the bank negative but ronenish particular allows you to allocate the remaining can you talk about the rational for that and why were taking it in that much in this first allocation. Theres a couple of key points. One is that we are requiring that the killroy keep the option open for the flower vendors to return to sixth and brandon. Until we can find a permanent home for the flower vendors, we want to make sure they can always return to sixth and brandon if it has their election. Thats one of the key points. The other key point is that on the timing of it, as soon as kill roy gets his final approval, they will begin construction on the temporary site at 2,000 marin. So the developers will be responsible for clearing that site and preparing an interim market and as soon as that market so whether or not they come back, we still have the timeframe in which they need to bneed tobe at an interim locati. And the d. A. , which will come to us and thank you for the detail on that. Its between the city and kill roy. Is the flower market a party to that . The flower mart is not a party to the Development Agreement. Thats the city and kill roy. The flower vendors have what is called a tryparty agreement with kill roy and the Development Agreement will reference the triparty agreement. Were working closely with the flower market to make sure that we understand exactly what they need in a Permanent Location so we can come up with the formula that will allow them to pay for the Permanent Location if its located elsewhere. So the city has seen it between two . The triparty agreement is between who . Its not the city is not a part of the triparty agreement. Its the kill roy and the Market Association and the vendors. So theres two entities that represent the flower mart. Ok. Thank you. And then, a question came up in our last hearings on these program allocations, i imagine that the d. A. Will address this but the timing of the Public Benefits. How is that addressed in the d. A. If theres an initial allocation and an allocation how are the Public Benefits being timed . All the benefits in this project come with the first allocation in the first phase and so to give you a sense of what it looks like, the first throw projects in front of you, are all getting about the same percentage of their total allocation in their first phase. Actually, 598 brandon got 77 and kill roy 67 and theyre all getting roughly the same percentage of their total allocation the first phase. In this project, we have the Development Agreement that allows us to bring all of the Public Benefits forward first. So theyll all come in the first phase. How is that being addressed with other projects . I know we heard some will lag because of the approvals but how is that controlled . The Public Benefits . In this project . No, in others. Its about what the Public Benefit is. For example, in the land will come online earlier because we have to go through the board and other processes and so the commissions approval lends itself towards getting that. On 598, we were able to get the land early and then the park will come when they get the second construction and maintenance to the park come in the second phase basically. Thank you. I just wanted to clarify that the popos will be phased with the three construction. All the benefits from the d. A. Are with the first phase but the popos get built. When the building gets built. To the projects sponsor, can you just talk about if the flower mart does go to a different site, can you just walk through what happens to that portion of the project. I know theres a childcare and i guess additional retail but perhaps perhaps i can answer that. Can you show that again because i know you were running out of time. Theres a plan at the end of the presentation there. So essentially what happens is were able to shrink the footprint that otherwise would go to the flower mart a little bit so that frees up for additional popos widening the market alley and it also allows us to then insert the 23,000 square foot Childcare Center along the north and fifth street side. And thats up too. Its a purple back on the backright corner. Were able to get a meeting center, a Community Room for Community Meetings and such of almost a thousand square feet over off morris street. In the blue areas . The blue areas are most of that is still what would be counted as office space or the lobbies to the office space. Ok. All right. In just the youve got theres a significant amount of retail in this project which i think is great. Weve had discussions about row tales and theres some who arent as bullish in the future of retail. Maybe can you talk about the types of tenants that you anticipate in those spaces and in kind of your thoughts on of retail. I like it. We get a little nervous about that amount of retail space seeing some of the trends were seeing in retail. Thats a good question. Were seeing some parts of Retail Sector struggling. In kill roys other projects, were having a lot of success with retail tenants. Certain types of retail do well. Food and beverage retail and that would be the focus of this project. The market hall especially would be a lot of really small vendors that are neighborhoodserving. Evoking the europeantile market hall feeling and were pretty bullish about that part of the Retail Sector. Other parts of the Retail Sector, clothing, for example, not doing as well and wouldnt see as much of that in this project but theres plenty to go around and especially in this location with all the new development happening, the neighborhood will need this retail. Our project has probably more retail than all the other projects combined and its needed to serve the new residents and office workers. Thank you. Thank you. Commissioner fung. Not sure who would answer this but for years the lease with p. U. C. , are there options to extend that . Yes. Weve asked for options. For how long . Weve asked for one twoyear options. Its still a negotiation that is on going. The 170 million, can you provide us with a breakdown for how that is spread out. I will include that and theres a exhibit that breaks down all the fees. I didnt bring the breakdown. Its a great deal that is the jobs housing fee which 160 million many of theres an eastern neighborhoods fee that is 20 million. The transit impact fees are closer to 60 so theres a number of fees and i will definitely include the breakdown they come with the formal submission. Yes. Ok. That seems to be it. Very good, commissioners. That will place us on item 6 for case 2019006418pca many of this is a north of market Affordable Housing vn city wide Affordable Housing Fund Planning code and administrative code amendments. Good evening, commissioners. Veronica flores Planning Department staff. The item before you is proposed legislation regarding the north of market Affordable Housing fund.
