Potrero power station the area generally bounded by illinois informational presentation and general plan amendments. Good afternoon commissioners. I am john francis, Senior Planning Department manager for the mixeduse project. The 29acre Master Development site on the Central Waterfront south of pier 70. This project was before you in april of this year, for an informational presentation to review the draft design for the development document. Prior to that, for its draft eir hearing for november 2015. The revised design for the development was on august 202nd. Ellipsis august 22. August 22. At todays hearing, the project sponsor will provide an informational presentation highlighting recent project updates and key elements of the benefits package. I will then introduce the project, excuse me the proposed general plan amendments for initiation. Before the project sponsors presentation i would like to introduce my colleague from the office of economic and workforce of element who will Additional Information on the drops of Development Key terms. Thank you, john. I am here with ken rich, the manager of our section, we will be happy to engage in a conversation, that you need to after the presentation. It is very good to be back in front of you, on this project. A project that i have described, at its core, as a transformational one, one that had been a negative presence on the neighborhood for decades in the form of polluting power plant, when the neighborhood had worked for many years to close. Which we finally achieved some years ago. It takes that negative presence and turns it into a vibrant new neighborhood. One that is rich in Community Amenities and Public Benefits. If i could go to the slides, im just going to quickly touch on a couple of concepts that we have in the past, the first being a reminder, this is one project and what we would call the southern day front framework, which is a whole sweep of projects on the southeastern shore, as you can see together contributing a great deal of jobs and residential units to the city. We have kept this in mind while negotiating this package. Secondly is that this is a Development Agreement project. As such, we memorialize through a contract between the developer, and the city, that will all go into some highlights in a moment. Essentially a contract which ensures the city is getting benefits with the Development Rights that we are investing through said contract. Going to a few highlights about the da, we have obviously progressed in our negotiations since last time we were before you. I will touch on some of the highlights in the project team, youll see more about what that looks like, later in the presentation. So, the centerpiece of the Public Benefits package really the core of what we are delivering in this Development Project is the Affordable Housing component. We have been able to negotiate a package with the sponsor that delivers 30 of all residential units in this project at below market rates. Which is quite remarkable when you remember this is an entirely private development. No public land to utilize in the provision of those units, nor significant amounts of public dollars. To put this in perspective, 30 affordable rates is essentially what the help sf projects are achieving. Admittedly with a much deeper levels of affordability, because the city is investing a considerable amount of money, buying deeper levels of affordability, with those funds here, it is entirely cross subsidize with other components of the project. Being able to achieve a 30 affordable rate on an entirely private deal. Two thirds of that would be provided onsite, and the levels of affordability are consistent with section 415 of the planning code which is of course this citys Inclusionary Housing Program is codified. Excuse me, in terms of Workforce Development, we have programs aimed at construction jobs, generated by the development and user focused programs tailored towards getting San Francisco residents into the companies and tenants in those future buildings, the particular opportunities in this project are given the amount of office, likely that we will have in this project, creating some specific opportunities to get san franciscans to work in those fields, in the general arena. In terms of open space, about 7 acres of net, new, open space, critically we are connecting the blue greenway and the trail through the area of the Central Waterfront. There also be considerable Central Green in the middle of the development. We think significantly the project is improved a set of port on the properties on the waterfront that have never been open to the public. We are very proud of that, as well. In terms of other facilities and amenities, the developer will be constructing an Onsite Community center. Right now they are in conversations with the ymca for being the provider of that, but of course if that conversation does not evolve into more specific arrangement, it will be available to other operators as well, along with childcare onsite and space for a fullservice Grocery Store. In transportation obviously we are generating of course the 70 million in fees which will be spent on a wide range of local, districtwide transportation improvements. Lastly, the public that has received a lot of attention in the neighborhood, the Development Agreement will commit the sponsor to retaining the walls of the existing stationary complex which is portions of former buildings that remain Industrial Buildings that remain on site. Those walls will be retained and integrated into a new commercial development, the sponsor will also be placing Community Facilities district on their property, which is a mechanism through which we will be allowed , or able to collect assessments and spend those on infrastructure onsite, and in the nearterm years, and then the out portion of the project, the city will be able to collect those funds and use them for sealevel rise, adaptation measures, along with other infrastructure related items. It is a 30 year term for the agreement. The first 20, of which, we freeze the development fees, any development is subject to the full freight of the fees at the time. I think the project team will get into more detail on all of these points, ken and i are both here to discuss afterwards. Thank you very much. Thank you. Project sponsor. Thank you. Good afternoon commissioners. Henrique, project sponsor. It has been five months since we have been before this body. Today we would like to give you an update for the changes we have made since we have met with you and refinements you have made of ongoing conversations with the community. We would like to give you an overview of some of the other project benefits coming along with this project. Today that we would like to start with a bit of history. We enjoy history quite a bit in our project. This is kentucky street now third street as it was 108 years ago. To the right you can see station a, which at the time was the largest power station west of the mississippi. That was just after it survived the 1906 earthquake. It has proven to be quite resilient. The image provides an experience to us the spent time driving around the city, roads were not much better back then. We are very excited that the team to build that road is deserves a big congratulations. It is great. This is the plan that we provided to you guys when we published our draft. The project, that. Featured a 30e some key features of this plan. With that, we began our Community Outreach process. My colleague tells me we have held 169 events that 82,000 people have attended. We have done monthly tours, workshops, quarterly Onsite Community merely meetings. Through that we have learned an awful lot. Over the past year, we have heard comments in six areas. 30 Affordable Housing was something we heard loud and clear from the community. We work very hard to do that. Keeping transportation fees in the district was very hard. We also heard heights that were different to the stack. We heard loud and clear the demand for your saving station a. We heard requests to explore water transit, and the plan we propose to six month ago had a lot of those features, including station a and lower heights along the site. It also came with it less units, we heard loud and clear from this commission that you are unwilling to see a reduction in units. My team and i spent the last six months creating a plan that proposes not only the preservation of station a, 30 Affordable Housing, without public subsidy. Now 2600 units. To some extent we figured out how to balance the program, without losing units, we are excited about this plan. There was an overview of the public benefit, for this project. The project itself is true, since the civil war, this portion of the citys waterfront has been unavailable. No one has been able to go on it. We encourage you to come to the site, and see, this waterfront will really be a terrific portion of the dogpatch neighborhood. Our Affordable Housing program is something we are also very proud of. Getting to 30 Affordable Housing with out public subsidies is not an easy thing. We are excited to do that with two commercial covers of our community. We are excited to announce a new program today, a partnership of Homeless Prenatal Program, to provide 36 units of deeply Affordable Housing to prenatal clients. It serves homeless families, and parents, and we will provide housing to their candidates that are receiving job training assistance or seeking Higher Education so they can be housed unsecured on our site. Besides that, will make almost a quarter Million Dollar of infrastructure
