Privately owned public open spaces and investments in the transportation infrastructure. Through the central summer plan we are planning for Additional Office and housing capacity and focusing that growth particularly near transit so we can continue to work towards our transportation and sustainability goals. The full report is available on our website and we will publish data tables as well both on our website. With that that concludes my presentation and im happy to take questions. We will take Public Comments on this item i have another little handout. I have no idea what you are handed by ms. Harris, she may have talked about the changes that are on here, sue hester, i was san franciscans growth and i attended every single hearing on the downtown plan with three engineers that worked with me on dealing with what became the office limits in the housing fee, and the transit fee. They all came from a lot of work. Years of work from the people in the city. I want to point out a couple of things that are just in here, one of the things that jumped out to me was page 3 report on the Office Allocations. I have the Office Allocation report that you were given two months ago, three months ago 10 months ago, by cory teague on the Office Allocations. The pending smallcap projects on the pending largecap projects are not in the c3 at all. I summarized them up there. Four of the small caps are not in the c3. The ones that are in the c3. A lot of 4999 ft. Depending largecap projects, 10 of them are not in the c3. When i say c3 r, ost. They are not in the downtown core. What that means is that the whole Transit System that was talked about in the downtown plan, the fees that were put on their, were not relevant to what is happening right now. One of the things that i am pleading with you to do, is to really take cognizance of the jobs housing imbalance. This comes out on page page 9 of your report. You Start Talking about the jobs in the housing balance. The jobs housing balance is really bad right now. It is because we have an assumption of how much housing was needed in 1985, and its not the same as 2019. You have Office Development at the allocation and sit on it. One of the ways you have to correct it is to impose at the same time you approve the Office Allocation a report back on what they are doing. It should be done automatically, because if it is not done it will not happen. Secondarily, you have to have a serious discussion about the jobs housing balance, really serious. I am willing to work on that, ive already exceeded my time. Can have an extra 30 seconds. I do a lot of work on this. I had a meeting last night, it wasnt set up, between the head of srd, the board had, david jones and myself, we talked about the jobs housing balance. Its not what you normally go to dinner to talk about. We did this because we had been in this battle and it was unanimous on our side, that we really had no idea about the real need for housing, in 19801981 when we got the fee. The fee is undersize. The people making the money are the office developers. We need housing. Thank you. Any other Public Comment on this item . Public comment is now closed. Great report glad to see goals are being met for important issues like transportation and Greenhouse Gas emissions. Commissioner johnson. Want to echo that this is a great report. Its touching onto hot button topics whereas, the jobs housing linkage and also the future of transportation. Adding more color as we can figure out how to address both of those things. It has been a long day so i am linking a little bit on how we have worked to calculate that fee. It has come up a few times. Could you just share a little bit about how we have been continuing to think about that fee. Specifically to the jobs housing or transportation . The jobs housing linkage fee has been legislation to increase it supervisor haney increased legislation by about 10 per square foot. Im not sure of the specifics on that. Great. Thank you. A couple of questions for staff. The other c3 districts, can you just briefly explained to me what geographical areas they are . You are asking where the c3 districts are in the additional downtown dress dish districts . Andre if you can pull up the slide that has the map of downtown, to me it looks like an upside down diagonal guitar. I see the overall map and i know the downtown plan its an original stage was different than this map. My question is, on table 1 when they talk about these other districts come i dont know where these are. They are all within that larger district. But we do not have a breakdown. Go ahead. The c3 r is in the downtown area, the artist for retail. The g is for general downtown. The o is for office. There is also the other districts, i guess a little bit selfexplanatory, the dtr is in the south market. There is some dtr which is High Density Residential districts. There is also dtr in the intersection near market and vanness for more downtown residential. The highrises you see near that intersection will be residential, the majority of the rest of the traditional c3 is for office building. Is this the downtown plan, the original one was much smaller than this . The original one is the red. The c3 district has not changed that much since 1985. But for the expansion near the market in vanness area. Recently, with the central summit plan, that is when a little bit of changes also happened in the central subway area. It looks predominantly like the red upside down guitar. My last question would be, in the discussion on transportation, what about rideshare . When you speak of rideshare do you mean the car pulling itself . Both. San francisco county Transportation Authority has released a number of reports on what is happening with the tmcs. That is not included in the general if you will information about what is going on, transportation wise. Again, the data we are looking at is transit ridership, caltrain, bart, and what the census is estimating the motor to be. We did described in the report what we called rideshare which would be the more traditional carpooling has decreased by 26 . That is one of the main reasons why we are not getting as high vehicle occupancy as we would want in the downtown. There is more Single Person in a car trips because carpooling has been down. This is also a regional trend, if you will, too. Do we have any data how the disruptive construction practices, in downtown, have contributed to making downtown less industry interesting retail environment. Particular streets to be linkable to projects which have been around for a very, very long time including the unattractiveness of what it takes to maneuver around them and how they could potentially do we have any data on that . We do. No, we do not, commissioner. Sorry. Okay. Any other comments or questions, commissioners . Very good, item 7 a and b for case numbers 2014. [reading items] good afternoon pres. And members of the commission. Right now, which is handing out a memo from the review ofc. As well as some revised emotions that clarify some language as well as correct some type of graphic errors area i am linda hoagland, Planning Department staff, and im here to introduce the project at 6554th st. It is characterized as fourth and townsend, its one of the eight key sites identified in the plan. The project is a large project authorization to allow construction of a new Building Greater than 85 feet in height, or for new construction of more than over 50,000 gross square feet in the sentra selma special use district rate as well as authorization for the demolition of 2 existing dwelling units and to allow hotel use in the cmu oh zoning district. Demolishing the existing buildings on surface parking lot on the site and construct two new 400, 300 foot mixeduse i am sorry, residential mixeduse, i apologize, that appears in for separate towers.

Siding impacts to light and air, to adjacent live and work units on environmental concerns. Throughout the application process, the project sponsor has conducted multiple oneonone meetings with individual stakeholders, Community Organizations and nearby homeowners associations. They also participated in three Additional Community outreach forms. Staff finds that the project is on balance consistent with the central selma plan and the relative objectives of the general plan.

The project sponsor is present and has prepared a presentation for you, as well. This concludes staff presentation and im available to answer any questions. Thank you. Lets do 10 minutes. Good afternoon commissioners, i am carl shannon. Great to be here again. We are here today to talk about 655 fourth, also known as the creamery site. This is directly kitty corner from the train station. Initially when we began assemblage of the site, this was envisioned as a commercial site. Really from working with the department and with the community, and looking at the specific massing of this site, it made more sense to shift this to a residential site which is part of the evolution of the central selma plan. And to see at least one of the major sites come forward as a residential site. We are very glad to be here to present this today. The site is directly across from the train station where the train is being electrified which will provide great transit down the peninsula. It is immediately adjacent to the brandnew central subway providing good conductivity up to the muni backbone and good north sound transit immediately across the street from a grocery store, within walking distance to preschools. Near a library in elementary school. Equal distance between southpark and the park that we plan to build in the new part block. Two weeks ago you heard, in this room, about the plans in terms of Affordable Housing to be part of the central selma plan. In the city put forward, several sites that they want to see be permanent housing for a total of 820 units. That requires 211 million of fees to help support those 830 units. This project alone, the creamery project would provide approximately 1 3 of that. As much as 300 units coming forward. This is an exceptionally dense site from a pedestrian traffic standpoint. 3000 People Per Hour across the intersection at fourth and townsend at the train station. We wanted to do a groundfloor plan that has very vibrant retail and really plays off of the energy that is here. Also provides a central courtyard and hobos spaces that allow one to get away from the frantic environment on the street. We turned the lobbies of the building to the interior so that there is a mix and a permeability through the site of both quiet public spaces. And very active in sidewalks. We also pulled the back Building Back intentionally away from Fourth Street to provide a plaza there at the Northeast Corner of the site adjacent to the liver worth building. 960 units, 20,000 ft. Of retail, 38 room hotel we are thrilled to bring this forward. I have a letter of endorsement from the San FranciscoBuilding Trades council. I will also ask, we have a number of supporters here. Given the hour i will ask them to talk briefly. Without i will turn it over to daniel from the ark angels designed to walk you through the project. Good afternoon. Somehow it is not switching. So, as we look at the new central trend 32 districts, typical downtown cedar blocks. They are split up by mid lock alleyways providing shortcuts and activation at the neighborhood scale. We see a tremendous potential to continue this strong San Francisco culture of activating alleyways connecting connections on life within the block. So, instead of building up the towers on a typical podium, we propose a ground plane that spits up the podium into alleyways and plazas. We essentially blend them together offering a wide variety of moments in a unified expression. All while incorporating various setbacks to provide extra space to neighbors on all side. Essentially with the main focus of activating the site and inviting the neighborhood and everybody into the site. For the tower facades we are referencing both San Franciscos timeless skyline and capturing so much Industrial Heritage rate essentially the idea is that we are bringing the selma heritage into the skyline, marking the new central selma district. You can see, this scheme is really offering an incredible variation of expressions in the skyline. The intention is really to create this incredible dynamic project that looks different from different angles. And then the sign comes together and creates a Great Variety of open spaces both public and private. Enhancing the aim at creating neighborhood walks. We are basically using the architecture to frame, define and invite people into the open spaces. These are a few diagram examples. You can see here from Fourth Street, you have the 4th st. Plaza at the corner of the site. Really pulling the project back and creating this invitation into the central oasis. Once again, a more closeup look at what that would look like, and then inside some of these moments you can see we have opportunities for art, and landscape to really occupy the building and the surroundings. And then having the retail spelling out onto the street, this is from Fourth Street. In some of these alleyways you really have the retail, so making sure that their life, throughout this district. This is just coming into the middle. You see the central oasis, this wont be program together with the community. We are thinking that you have restaurants spelling outs, opportunities for different art projects, nature and so on. At the heart of this project you have this ecosystem of different activities generated by the community and for the community. And then just some examples, of course murals, sculptures, inhabiting the overall project. Once again this is a diagram showing the intention of creating a variety of spaces, and really creating different characters throughout the project and working together to make sure that it becomes a diverse, and interesting experience. So here you can see a new metric view of how everything comes together. An activated indoor outdoor environment. 24 hours, in the evenings, as well as daytime. Thank you. We are opening up to Public Comments. Thank you so much. We will now take Public Comments on this item. I do have a few speaker cards. Michelle, i cannot read the last name, kevin, noel, katrina, elizabeth, and michael. Anyone else who wishes to speak on this item . Please come on up. Dont be shy. Hello. Michael guthrie, i am resident next door at 6014th st. 30 years ago, i moved into this building that was originally the hue blank building on the first project that the Planning Commission approved as a live work loft project and south of the market area. We found a very interesting and exciting. Subsequently i bought a unit i moved my Architectural Design practice into one of the groundfloor spaces. This is a pretty exciting project. I dont have anything other than praise for a lot of the design that has been done. It is an exciting addition to San Francisco. Knowing that one of our biggest problems is housing, and rental housing. Myself, and those of us that are going to speak, we are not here to oppose the
