Provide highquality space, decent, affordable and Sustainable Housing to hardworking clients in San Francisco and san mateo county. We do this by partnering with cities, community leaders, donors, volunteers and homebuyers to build and sell homes affordably to qualified families. This project would be responsible for city subsidized forsale units for working families whose Household Income is around 100 of a. M. I. These families are what we call the missing middle. They are typically working as nursing assistance, construction workers, teachers, daycare staff , all of whom are vital to this community. Too often they are willingly displaced because they cannot afford to stay. Those families this family seduced day often live in substandard and overcrowded homes. They live in places where children do not have space to do homework or to play, or families cannot grow and thrive in a healthy environment. There reservoir project can make a significant and meaningful contribution to the citys Affordable Housing stock and help hundreds of families make a future here. Habitat strongly supports this project and we look forward to continuing to work with you, members of the community, and the Affordable Housing advocates throughout the city as it moves forward. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Good evening. My name is alan. I am a Public Service worker for public health. We have more than 16,000 members in San Francisco. We come here and complain about how we dont have Affordable Housing. Each land belongs to the people of city college, the staff, the teachers, the students. The land should be transferred back to the students, to city college and its staff. If they want to develop housing, it is their decision to develop housing for teachers, students, and families. You all know San Francisco, we have more than 60,000 empty apartments. We do not need new developers to develop expensive housing and make the traffic jam, Traffic Congestion for the people nearby , including students. Sciu has a lot of members. We have a lot of members. There are four there. A lot of them are poor. In San Francisco, if anyone who makes less than hundred 20,000 is called poor people. The majority of Government Employees are poor people. We are advocating to opposing this land that is developed a private developers. We want this land back to the people, for the people that really contribute for workers, families, students and for the people who care about San Francisco. We have enough empty apartments already. We do not need any more privatizing of apartments. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. You left your sign. Hello. I have been an engineering instructor at city college for over three decades. Im currently the Vice President of the faculty union. I couldnt agree more with the previous speaker. It is true that the land doesnt quite belong to city college, it belongs to the public utility commission, but it is precious public land. City college, although it leases it from the p. U. C. , does not quite own it, but it has been using it for over seven decades. Public land should stay in public hands for the public good turning it over to a private developer whose motivation is profit and theres nothing wrong with that, but this is public land, it needs to be used for the public good. Fifty of Affordable Housing is not good enough. It needs to be 100 Affordable Housing on public land. It was also mentioned that city college stakeholders are in these meetings, but i am on the facilities committee, and leave a hard time getting information about what goes on in these meetings. I went to see that slide that looks at the access road into the development because something there was, will i be able to do that . No. Okay, i really want to question the decisions that are made at these meetings and aware that access road is. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Good evening, commissioners. My name is mark and they sit on the reservoir presenting the San FranciscoPublic Utilities commission. Im also residents of district seven, and they live near balboa reservoir. Im here to express my support for this project. Since 2015, the reservoir has held consistent meetings with the community and project sponsors to discuss project details and approve the Development Parameters that have been incorporated into this proposal. The sfpuc adopted a resolution in 2016 to support this project, recognizing the need for additional Affordable Housing in San Francisco in a transit rich neighborhoods. Over the next year and beyond, we will be continuing to work with the community to ensure that the project meets specific goals of the community and the city to build additional housing for all. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Good evening, commissioners. Hopefully my stomach will not be making any noises during this, im getting hungry here. I am the chair of the balboa reservoir committee. The balboa reservoir site sits between four distinct communities, each of these areas has unique characteristics and idiosyncrasies, it is not just a Housing Project but i neighborhood that we are building. It is not surprising that a large group of stakeholders have strong opinions about building density, affordability, open space, neighborhood character, how it will be affected, and of course, parking. There is a very ride right wide range of opinions. That is why, in the spring of 2015, supervisor he introduced the board of supervisors and introduced to the board of supervisors to improve an ordinance creating the Balboa Reservoir Community Advisory Committee with Seven Members with the local constituencies. Two members are at large, myself included, although i do live in the neighborhood. So, over the past year and a half, we have acted as a clearinghouse and a forum where concerns can be voiced and question spee asked and answered the first 16 minute meetings were concerned with putting together a document laying out the Development Principles and parameters, prioritization and r. F. P. During the time that we heard perspectives from neighborhood groups, representatives representatives in local schools , people at large and around the city were concerned about the lack of Affordable Housing, and we tried very hard to arrive at a consensus whenever possible, and after multiple revisions, we arrived at a final document. Can i go 30 seconds . You have 30. Twentyone now. The principles and parameters concern housing, transportation, projects in relation to city college, the urban realm, urban design and neighborhood character and sustainability. I will close now, but i want to ask everybody in the room and on the commission to please hold your opinions until after the e. I. R. And we will see exactly how much traffic and congestion really does get generated out of this project. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Glorified, i am going to repeat what a lot of people have already said. Number 1, is a long time San Francisco resident, since its public land, i always felt like it stood somehow stay public. For city college, for whatever, but it should be public. It shouldnt be sold. Second to that, one of the people were talking about one of my big concerns about the proposed project and that is the height density, it is so big. When we are not talking about one big building on a block, were talking about a big neighborhood up in the middle of all of these other neighborhoods , and the parameters have not been followed. We have been going to meetings for years, and the parameters as they were agreed to have not been followed. It was supposed to be 28 feet to 65 feet, and it was supposed to be a gradation. It is like boom boom. It is up quick, and it is high, it is like it creates such a density and it just seems like the congestion, the effect on all the neighborhoods, the effect of city college, is just too much, and then my only other comment that has not been brought up is the open space parameter also wasnt followed. The citywide survey, and also people want an actual continuous park where you have a land and you can play frisbee or whatever , and that is not going to happen. Thank you. Think he. You. Next speaker, please. Good evening. My name is michael. Im a member of the organization for the last three years. Im also president of the Westward Park homeowners association, which adjoins the impacted neighborhood. You heard earlier that the president of the coalition of San Francisco neighborhoods, which by the way, consists of 31 different neighborhoods throughout the city voted unanimously that the property should go back to the city and college of San Francisco, state in the public realm for public use. The city of San Franciscos financial entity valued city college at 300 million a year. That is the value that it gives to the city of San Francisco. 300 million. Any user private development of this land will severely impact the value of city college that is given to the city of San Francisco. In addition, if a member we voted on these parameters. The former chair from the sunnyside, said we will not allow these parameters to be violated. They are being violated. We took a lot of time looking at those parameters. Eventually we have to give you a report. Were in we are in violation of our own bylaws. We should give you an annual report. We havent done that yet, and i brought that up at the last meeting on monday of this week. You should have all these comments. You hear the comments from the audience. They are very good comments about city college, about how it is being damaged, about how it should have the land. I have urged us to do a report so you can read it, the board of supervisors can read it because we spent a lot of time as a member of the board listening to these people, and we should advise. That is what committee does. It is a committee Advisory Committee and hopefully we will have a report to you that shows you how the parameters have been violated and things like that. Because the height of 25 to 65 is now up to 88 feet. Fleet we can be helpful to you that you can read our report when it is concluded. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Hello. My name is micah, im a very proud city college student, or and raised kid. I speak on behalf of many students that i know in opposing this project think it is really you understand why first of all, the parking lot. It is not like it is empty land waiting to be developed, waiting to be made into a property. The developers are crucial part of many student teaching ability to attend school. Are often in a rush to park. It is not empty, it is you, and i guess if it were to be developed, it makes sense that because it is public land it would be developed in a way that is affordable, not affordable my definitions of making more than 100,000 a year, would affordable for actual students, myself and every other student i know would not be able to afford most of the units at this place, which would be leading me to believe that it is being built for the wealthy, you know, it not not for the workingclass students at the school. So really think about what you want your legacy to be. I think as chronic commissioners , you do have a really big say in how the development in the city happens, and you have a crucial responsibility to protect the working people, to protect city college which serves, you know, a little less than 10 of the city. All of us have connections to this place. It be like developing on part of s. F. General and saying through the people who need services there, you know, city college is a Real Community space. Is one of the last remaining, fortified places that really serves everyone in the city. It is really important to protect that. Dont allow it to be privatized. You have a responsibility to protect the people. Please adhere to that. Thank you. Thank you. Make speaker, please. Hello, my name is christopher peterson, i live in the neighborhood, i have participated in multiple meetings about this project going back to 2014. I do strongly support maximizing the amount of housing, especially Affordable Housing on what is currently an underused surface parking lot. I think that this project has potential to benefit see the colleges and while i urge the developers from the city to work with city college, possibilities for having housing served the city college community. In light of this crisis, it is also imperative to be doing this project in a way that minimizes automobile use. Some of that is helped out by sheer location, it is next door to city college, next door to the ocean avenue Commercial Area , easy walking distance to bar, directly serve served prime multiple munimobile bus lines. One element of the project that hasnt been discussed very much today, though, i think it maybe undercut, and that is the potential to include a 500 space Public Parking garage that would be, in addition to the parking that will be provided to residents. I really strongly urged that the project not flute such as Public Parking garage. I think that will worsen traffic impacts of the project. It will worsen the overreliance on vehicles in this area. So i urge support for the housing, but i also due to vigilant to make this a genuinely transitoriented project. Thank you. Thinking. Next speaker, please. Hello. My name is christine. I have lived here since 2007, and they live about three and a half blocks east of the reservoir. I am active in my neighborhood, and the developers asked me to speak about the public process related to the balboa reservoir development, which i was happy to do since my personal experience has been both positive and productive. I had not participated in the monthly balboa reservoir meetings, so im pretty much an expert on nothing, but i have attended some of the open houses and submitted comments. My main focus has been on addressing neighborhood concerns about the development in my tiny way, mainly preparing for increased neighborhood traffic and improving connections to city college and loss of parking i have been working for a traffic calming and Pedestrian Safety measures, and with neighbors the sunnyside and i want funding support for maintenance, beautification and the production bridge over that 280 and balboa park station at city college that five paces bypasses high end recorders. Im grateful to developers for their support for the beautification a safety of the pedestrian bridge, further understanding of how it fits into the neighborhood transit solutions, and for the engagement on this community issue. Regarding my personal engagement with the balboa reservoir public process directly, my experience has also been positive, one, i submitted concerns about the original open space design, that is my time, it anyway. Youve 20 seconds. Okay. Did to his exposure to wind, i was pleased to see the developers to do a wind study and reoriented the building to block wind from the open space. Im guessing that i was that one of many with experience with the department that had concerns. Thank you very much. Next speaker, please. I am but, Michael Adams again for coming to you as a former city planner, not in this city, letting other cities. I have had experience with Public Housing administration and i would like to tell you that some images are being created, for example, at west parking lot, which is what it is , the less parking lot of city college is that piece of isolated property that is underused. We heard it is underutilized when you close the door after this meeting. So the whole notion that this is a piece of property that is just sitting there, waiting for someone to come spend a lot of money to develop as a false notion. Many streets at night are underutilized parking metres out here that are underutilized. Be careful how you hear that language. This is public land. It should be turned over to public institutions. City college is that institution assumes the whole city. It needs that property. We are going to be building from a bond issue that we all voted for. The performing Arts Education center. On the upper parking lot that will displace parking, free city college, hopefully everyone here supports it and it is increasing the population of city college, which means increasing the demand for Parking Spaces. You just heard traffic study that the agent before this that said the traffic is going to continue to increase with regard to car usage, especially ridesharing companies. Please do not be cruel by to habitat for humanity, for example. It is not a habitat for humanity Financial Model that is being used. Mercy housing has a place right next door. That is a different model. Thank you. Your time is up. Next speaker, please. Good evening, commissioners. I went to several meetings and i was always taken by the fact that while there were architectural renderings, they were never any 3d models that would accurately show the scale of this project. I subsequently went we website called statistics cal atlas. Com. It shows what the density per mile of different areas across the country is. In San Francisco, surprisingly to me, the densest neighborhood is the tenderloin, with 129 thousand residents per square mile, followed by chinatown with 62,500. If you put 1100 unit two
