Not a signed Lease Agreement. But it is something that you guys are working on it and it is doable and very intend to pursue it. I dont think we will have any time of any kind of Lease Agreement any time soon, but we do have the specs, which was a wish list for what they want. Within priced it out, we have a study, and the next section will be engagement with a catchment designer and going over the next level of detail. I dont know in terms of timing. We are planning on pursuing that next step. Again, i think that in between what you described, there is a spectrum of possibilities. They have been around and been doing this for a long time. They have done tenant improvements and build outs and other places. They do know both what is doable and what their funding is and what they can take on. Commissioner richards . I guess, i looked on the last couple pages of the revised motion. A talked about what was actually going to be given because of the state density bonus, but it does not quote the hardship or the financials. I look look at office space going for 80 a square foot. Office space is in high demand now. We are giving concessions and incentives to enable a very high yield asset to be built. It seems like it is the wrong way around. We were building more housing because of could see, but this is a huge giveaway. I would love to see what these hardships are or what the justification is in the numbers that they have handed in. This to me is almost an abuse of the state density bonus. Staff looked at this quite carefully. Obviously this is a really unique project. We havent encountered Something Like this with the state density bonus. We didnt really look into this with the city attorneys, with upper management to make sure that this was something that, legally could be done and it was they provided the Financial Information that was required to substantiate the costs to support the waivers where the concessions and, and supporting that, it would be a cost hardship. It would substantially impact their ability to provide the Affordable Housing. We had our Housing Specialist look at this and work with the sponsor very carefully to make sure that the information they have provided us was adequate and sufficient, and they also made some amendments to our findings. So should take should a continuance pass, i would really like to see that. The financials are included in the back of the revised motion that i handed out today. These came to us and were still working through this at the last minute before the may 9th meeting, and then it was continued, and since it was continued again, i didnt have an opportunity to get everything to you. That is why it is in this packet it is in this thing here . Correct. What page . After the end of the motion there are three or four letters from the sponsors architect detailing out the cost and showing the justification for the reason i am asking his mind does not have that on it. Mine just ends. That is why. That is probably my error. I wrote on this but you can have this. Thank you. Im not trying to harass you, i just dont see it and i dont know why i dont have it. Commissioners, keep in mind, with the concessions and incentives that are invoked by the sponsor, these are things that staff does not have the ability to grant or not to grant these are things they can invoke under the state law, similar to what the waivers do as well. Can i just ask you to help us supposedly were not building a single unit of housing on the site, but were just adding office space. How much office space could they add . They are allowed to the zoning does not restrict a number. It restricts a floor level, for example, the floor level, the current zoning is 68 x. So they would only be allowed the amount of floors that are permitted for the zoning. Which is what . If it is under four stories, it is one floor of office. If it is between five and seven, it is two floors of office. And right now they are at five . Correct. So they could go up to seven . Correct. And could they build office space in the parking lot right now . They could, but not on the ground floor. Not on the ground floor, but they could go up to seven floors in that parking . Theoretically, yes. Okay. Commissioner moore . This is a very interesting question that i want to tag on. If they then merge those two buildings, one being illegally nonconforming, what rules kick in for that . Do you get illegally nonconforming building with all of its space to be legal . As long as they are not touching the nonconforming space , they get to keep it. The minute they start doing a substantial amount of work for that existing space and adding square footage, for example, that is only have to conform back to the current codes and rules that we have. If they have the space, they get to keep the space. By definition, merging two spaces alters the space in a significant way. So if you are adding why to ask, you will get a major alteration. Which rules kick in . The space that they have, they are still able to keep. I understand the merging of it causes, you know, a perception that they would lose it, in this instance, they wouldnt. So they would still be allowed to build some office there as per the zoning. It is fascinating. We could geek out here all day. Commissioner richards . One question just to be clear we are not getting Additional Office space with the state density bonus, they are getting additional housing space. Correct. One other question, just thinking out loud, i could go there and put a tower up and add five units of housing on top and say i want a tower separation, i want to waive this and waive that, can i do this for a building of that scale even if it has five Housing Units in it . Major waivers like that . Miss stacey, i think that is for you. That is a rhetorical question i can see where this is going. This is nuts. Kate stacey in the city attorneys office. Im sorry i cant answer that hypothetical question, but there are demonstrations that need to be made when asking for waivers and incentives. Okay. Thank you. Thank you. Commissioner moore . In light of the fact theres a lot of soulsearching, i make a motion that we continue this project to get a little bit more clarity from the applicant, as well as answering some basic questions. Second. To when . That would be probably september. Your september calendars are closed at this point. We could fit august 22nd or we can go october. October. October 10th. Can you make it a bit later . October 17th. Go ahead. I would avoid the 17th. It is a big day for Office Projects. Why is that . That is when the new camp comes in for office. [laughter] did you want to the august 22 date if it is available, we would love to take that. If the commission feels we are not ready we can always be continued again. They asked for a oneweek continuance, so i wonder if that is okay with them to have august 22nd. [indiscernible] i cant make a motion. This is up to the maker of the motion. August 22nd, we should give that a shot. Second. Very good then, commissioners if there is nothing further, there is a motion that has been seconded to continue to august 22nd. [roll call] so moved. That motion passes unanimously 6 0. Theyll place us on items nine a , b. , c. , and d. For the property of 610690 brandon street brandon brannan street. Excuse me, folks. Excuse me. If you need to have a conversation, take it outside. We would greatly appreciate it. Good afternoon, commission. I am with Planning Department staff. I just distributed a response letter from our Environmental Review officer, lisa gibson, in response to the july 16th letter from the trust that we all received. As mentioned, the request before you is for four separate actions relating to the project at 610 698 brannan street, more commonly known as the flower mart site. It is one of eight key sights in central soma plan. In order to proceed, the project requires the Planning Commission to grant a large project authorization for construction of a new building within 85 feet in height, a new construction over 50,000 gross square feet in area, granted Office Allocation under prop them, recommends that the board of supervisors approve the planning code text amendment and associated zoning map amendment to establish the special use districts and create additional key sites, and finally, recommend that the board of supervisors approve the Development Agreement for this project. Following my presentation, the office of economic and Workforce Development will give a presentation regarding the development of the agreement, and following her, alexandra and ben representing the project sponsor and project architect will give a detailed presentation regarding the program and design of the project. The project site is approximately six and a half acres. Is comprised of six parcels located on the north side of brannan between fifth and sixth street. Is part of the project, all these lots would be merged. The site has split zoning. It has both types of zoning. It also has split height and bulk zoning. A portion being in the 130 and another portion in the 270 height and bulk district. The project would demolish the ten existing buildings on the site, including those that house the San Francisco wholesale flower market and construct three new 818 story mix used Office Buildings containing a total of 2,032,165 square feet of office, 113,036 square feet of production and distribution and repair, this would be the new San Francisco flower mart. 83,000 square feet of retail, 769 Parking Spaces, 30 loading spaces, and 496 bicycles Parking Spaces. It would also develop 35,450 square feet of publicly accessible openspace. Theres also project variance. At the behest of the wholesale flower market vendors, the project sponsor and the Safety Incorporated into the development and agreement an option for the wholesale flower market to permanently relocate to another site within the city in lieu of it being constructed on site. Should this option be exercised, the project variance would contain a total of 2,061,003 had an 80 square feet of office, 90,960 square feet of retail, 22,690 square feet of childcare facility, and 950 square feet of Community Room. It would have a reduced parking of 632 offstreet loading spaces, nine loading spaces, and then have increased bicycle parking at 608 spaces. It also would provide 38,450 square feet of privately owned Public Open Space. It is a very large project, and this project in the project variance would be developed in three phases. Phase one would include the construction of the northernmost building, also known as the block building. The underground parking garage and all of the bicycle parking, the mid block passage, and the majority of the plaza off of brannan street. Collectively, this phase would result in the relocation of the flower market vendors in the interim location. 1,355,363 square feet of office. The 113,000 p. D. R. , the flower market, 8,043 square feet of retail, 769 vehicle Parking Spaces or loading spaces and 96 part bicycle Parking Spaces. 22,000 of popo his, and then it would also provide an additional 4,000 square feet of off site open space and as per the Development Agreement, would implement and enhance workforce programs, have a dedication of 14,000 square feet piece of property to the Mayors Office of Housing Affordability to construct Affordable Housing, streetscape improvement, and contribute 5 million towards a sunnydale hub project in the construction of a gateway or marker for the soma filipina cultural district or in lieu fund. The project variance would change the first space by reconfiguring their ground floor of the blocks building to replace the wholesale flower market would 22,960 square feet of childcare and an additional 7,517 feet of retail, 29,215 square feet of Additional Office and the 950 square feet of Community Room. Would also increase the amount on site by widening the market alley. The other two phases will remain unchanged. Phase one b. Would include the construction of the building of the corner of fifth and brannan, most commonly known as the market hall building. The completion of the brannan plaza and construction of the fifth street plaza. This phase would have 351,895 square feet of office, 60,930 square feet of retail, so the majority of the retail will be in the second phase, 12,000 square feet of popo and streetscape improvement along the adjacent frontage. And the in the final phase, this would be constructing the building at the corner of sixth and brannan, commonly known as a Gateway Building and the dog park. This last phase would have 324,900 and square feet of office, over 6,000 square feet of neighborhood serving retail, 800 square 830 square foot dog park and then they would dedicate another 703 square feet for off site Public Open Space and complete out those streetscape improvement. The project is requesting a large project authorization pursuant to planning code 329. They are permitted to seek exceptions from the planning code. The code allows additional exceptions in the case of key sights within the central soma district, dependent upon the project providing qualified amenities. In excess of what is required by code. The qualified amenities proposed for this project include the provision of p. D. R. And greater amount and lower rents then is otherwise required by code. That would be the relocation provision of the new flower mart as well as the dedication of the 14,000 squarefoot parcel land for the construction of Affordable Housing. As such, under the large project authorization, the project and project variant are seeking the exception into the planning code requirement as detailed out for each project in the staff report the project is also requesting approval of an Office Allocation as a proposed project, it would construct over 2 million square feet of office and as of july first, approximately 1. 7 million of square feet of office is available in the largecap Office Development. The Department Recommends the Commission Grants the Office Development authorization for the first phase, phase one a, of the project, which would be for the 1,355,000 square feet or phase one a of the project variance which would be 1,000,384 thousand square feet today, staff soc four letters in support of the project from the San Francisco bicycle coalition, neighboring businesses, in a neighboring resident. Stuff is also received four letters and opposition to the project from the Neighborhood Consortium and the river trust, and attorney for three neighborhood residents and a neighboring property owner. The Department Also received comments from adjacent neighbors recommending that if the flower market relocated is offsite in the shared Service Drive on the northern side of the property be more pedestrian in character. In summary, this terrifies a project is on balance consistent with the central soma plan and relevant objectives and policies of the general plan. The project will facilitate the retention of a long operating p. D. R. Use in the city and provide a new mixeduse development with office, p. D. R. , retail or alternatively, childcare and will provide substantial Public Benefit as provided in the Development Agreement. This concludes my presentation and im available to answer any questions. Thank you. Project sponsor . Good afternoon, commissioners im with the office of economic and Workforce Development. There are three key components of the Development Agreement for which i will provide an indepth description for you today. They include the need to provide an option for both an onsite and an offsite scenario, the payment structure for the offsite scenario, and the agreement to prioritize the projects phase one b. Prop m. Allocation in the fall of 2021. Before i get into the d. A. , i like to remind everyone of this projects Community Benefit obligation approved under the central soma area plan. As you know, under this plan, each of the nonresidential sorry. Each of the nonresidential key sites was assigned a specific set of Community Benefits that the projects would be required to achieve in order for there to be diverse and comprehensive portfolio of cumulative benefits the key amenity assigned to this project as a replacement and upgrade of the wholesale flower mart. The plan acknowledges that the production, distribution, and repair or p. D. R. Sector is critical to San Francisco. Companies in the p. D. R. Sector serve the needs of local residents and businesses and tend to provide highpaying jobs and Career Advancement opportunities for people without necessarily requiring a four year college degree. P. D. R. Jobs also enhance a city s Economic Diversity and therefore our ability to whether times of economic stress. While this project has anticipated replacing the f
