Id like to update you on the embarembarcadero navigation cen. On november 25th, judge shoal man ruled in the citys favor the approval was not so required and so with that its good news. The Navigation Center is complete and conducted to be hit another benchmark at the end of this week. Five keys hsa contract providers joined the Advisory Group last week and eager to get on site and start working. The first guest are expected to be in the site by the end of the year. The Advisory Group will be invited to tour the site before it opens to guests. Im also pleased to announce that tomorrow night will be embarcadero Community Meeting number five for the ports waterfront resiliency program. The meeting will be in the fisher bay observatory gallery. At th the explore tore yum. Please mark your calender and join. At this meeting, the public will learn about the method odd gee around the seaboard program investigation. Its the multi hazard Risk Assessment by the mhra. Following brief presentations, members of the public will visit station staff Historic Resources, flood risk, life safety and more. This is a familyfriendly event and refreshments will be served. Join if you can. I would now like to play a short video that will actually show at Community Meeting tomorrow so we can explain. This is the multi hazard Risk Assessment. Its a really important part of this program because it is going to end in the spring of 2020 with us having a very clear understanding of a consequences of damage to our water front from earthquake and flood and having a clear understanding of those consequences from damages from earthquake and flooding is a first important piece for us to plan and prioritize interventions. Would you play the video for me. This video is called an explainer. I like explainer videos. Ill see if you do as well. The embarcadero seawall is the bac backbone for 100 years. Today its vulnerable to earthquake and flooding from sea level rise. In the november 2018 election, San Francisco voted for in aud anfor inaudible for a general obligation bond. Since then, the port of San Francisco has been busy. The port is undertaking a massive investigation. Officially called the multi hazard risk investment or mhra. The port is using lacers to measure water depth, drilling hopes to better understand soil condition, modeling earthquakes using innovative technology. Its comprehensive. This means that beyond understanding risk due to earthquakes and flooding, its all the way the the embarcadero is deto San Francisco. Support is looking at transportation and utility networks, Disaster Response and recovery facilities, Historic Resources like the embarcadero historic district, economic generators including downtown San Francisco and the many beloved port tenants. And land use. How residents and visitors alike use the spaces by the embarcadero seawall. All the findings from the multi hazard Risk Assessment are key to understanding which areas of the waterfront are at risk. The likely consequences and what areas the port needs to focus on first to protect. The next step is using new knowledge to select the first critical safety projects for construction. To learn more and share your feedback, visit sf port resilience. Com. Thank you. That concludes my report. Thank you. I like that video. [laughter] very nice.

Clerk item 11a is an informational presentation on Public Comments, responses, and proposed revisions to the draft waterfront plan and draft project description for the ceqa Environmental Review process. Good afternoon, president brandon, members of the commission and staff and audience members. My name is dianne. Im here to give you an informational presentation on the Public Comments that were received on the draft waterfront plan, which was published in june of this year, earlier this summer. And the response work thats been done, this staff report, is quite lengthy so i maybe apologize in advance but i think that we had a really great engagement with the community to seek their comments and their perspectives and some of the revisions that weve made in the plan to address those. So, in terms of Public Comments that were received, since june 2019, up through october, we received comments in these three key categories. We had an Online Survey and Public Comment opportunity and that was a main entree for people to be able to review the plan as well as leave their comments with us. We had 18 Public Meetings, Community Meetings including a public boat tour, which was very successful t brought a big scope of people that we normally would not see at our Public Meetings. And we also got a number of emails and letters in responses. So the attachment b, there are sub sections one, two and throw that separate these Online Survey comments and responses. The Public Meeting summaries of what we heard in those meetings and then the letters and the responses that the port staff has put together in response to the comments received. So, briefly speaking, in september i gave you an easterly year presentation. We met with all of our port Advisory Groups. A number of Community Organizations and some of our key tenants. Lat night i was at the east cut Community Business benefits district and i think people are very supportive over all for the scope of the plan, policies that are in the plan and many of the comments that weve received are really helping us to clarify and refine some of those policies. The staff report itself tries to give a summary of the breadth of comments. Im not going to go through every single one. They break into these categories. First off, in response to some comments weve got from the public as well as the Port Commission, we do have a executive summary that we prepared thats in the staff report that will be incorporated into the plan. We realize that it is a lengthy document and were doing all we can to try and refine further. We also got comments and responses and revisions that we proposed in the staff report dealing with the embarcadero historic district. There were questions about the conditions where high revenue generated uses could be allowed in those districts in the peer rehabilitation projects within the districts. And so weve added proposed revisions to the plan to hopefully make that more clear about the need for those Revenue Generating activities to be able to finance the kinds of sighs mick improvements and historic rehabilitation and public trust uses and public activities that we are seeking to have in those rehabilitaterehabilitated piers. We got comments regarding the terms under which seawall lots could be considered for state legislation to be able toll get some relief from the trust use restrictions for seawall lots north of market street. Weve added language in there to make it clear that those would occur on a casebycase basis when theyve been vetted by the Port Commission. For fishermans war of, we have comments from one of our tenants pointing out that we needed to provide better clarification for the warfj10 facility to make its clear its a maritime facility and that there are still fishingrelated use interest in that area so we have proposed changes in the plan to make that clear. And we got a number of comments related to making the waterfront accessible and open to the broadest ray of public and people from diverse racial economic backgrounds that point out that there are many people who really dont have the kinds of resources to buy services and foods along the way and that where possible, that we should be incorporating activities that are welcoming to all along with the Economic Impact opportunities that should be available for any new improvement projects along the way. So we have included some additional revision to try and make that point. The equity both economic, social and resilience equity lenses have been integrated through all of the portwide goals and policies through out the plan. We havent concentrated it in one lace but due to the response we received we have incorporated something proposed revisions to further emphasis the point this waterfront is for everybody no matter what your background is. Probably the largest category are related to port environmental sustainability efforts and the resources we manage along the waterfront. This is a new area of center that were hearing from the public from many different perspectives and walks about the role that we play in managing resources and people were very happy and supportive of goal and the policies for environmental sustainability and a bio diversity which really migrate into thinking about adaptation and Shoreline Restoration planning as we move into the seawall and the flood study work as well. So the body of work is really i good flat form from which we can draw those Public Values into as many different ideas for the Resilience Program as possible. There were some finegrained comments about vegetation, native plants that should be incorporated throughout any of our shoreline improvement opportunities and so we have incorporated some proposed revisions to be clear and acknowledge what those values are but we were really heart end by the level of support and the sophisticated understanding that our public has about the importance of our Environmental Stewardship programs. We also received comments from hudson pacific, our new tenant partner here in the Ferry Building. Theyre doing fantastic things already with the plaza planning and activities within the arcade. They point the outside that while theyre very supportive of the proposed Ferry Buildings plaza policies, they are in the plan now they ask their ground lease be recognized in the policies in the plan which we believe was an oversight on our part and completely agree. We have proposed to include those in the draft amendments as well. So i think that were looking forward to a Great Partnership with them. They flagged some other issues in their comment letter about Transportation Safety in the Ferry Building area and programming and park activation for the plaza areas which dont cover they didnt just fade into plan revisions but theyre definitely shared interests that will be working with them further on. Finally, there were some revisions that are not called out on this slide but we added some assignments as well relating to resilience and making more clear our Emergency Response function as the waterfront is a protector for the public as well. So you will see in attachment a of the staff report, that there are some additional revisions related to resilience as well. All of this work, as you can tell from the breadth of the pages, it was quite a body of work to go through all of these comments and to develop responses to all of them. Weve had help from the whole team throughout the port but in particular, i would really like to call out ji jackson and anne cook, who are with us today here in the room. Carole back and shannon and dan have also been extraordinarily helpful but ji in particular, really did the work of going through every single one of those comments and he is relatively new member of our planning staff and probably now has the best knowledge of the waterfront plan of all of us. [laughter] as a result. And then anne cook, i wanted to give her a particular shout out because anne was here with me along with carry killstrom on the first waterfront plan. Im not the only one who knows about the first waterfront plan as well as this one and she has been just the sage adviser and will be wrapping up her second round here at the port helping us out at the end of january. So, i really wanted to recognize all that she has done both for the waterfront plans but also she has been key in bringing the equity lens through all of the goals and policies in this plan and then working with byron on the ordinance integration as well as where the Resilience Team so that the equity values that we heard through the planning process, are really integrated throughout all of our efforts and our trying to respond to the directives that wove gotten from you through the Strategic Plan as well. So it will be hard to move on after she retires in january. Shes been extraordinary in her devotion to this waterfront and i wanted to thank her publicly. The plan is still a draft. It has to go through the Environmental Review process before the Port Commission can adopt it. We have been working with the Planning Department to prepare for the steps moving forward to get the Environmental Review analysis underway. This Public Comment period that we invested in over the summer into the fall was really helpful to make sure that we didnt miss anything or that we got things wrong and that we didnt want to go in with a draft plan that might have had to be corrected while we were in the Environmental Review process. There was nothing that changed the direction of this plan. With that, were going to be starting the Environmental Review process proper. Weve got an attachment c of your staff report is a draft project description used for the Environmental Review process that the Planning Department has asked for us to populate so that people can take an early look at that before we get underway in the new year. Similarly in my last presentation in september, i reported at length on the work that were doing with bcdc to amend the special area plans so that we can have consistency between bcdc and port policies for the waterfront plan. That work continues and weve been working actively with state lands Commission Staff as well as bcdc so our objectives are really to align our public trust responsibilities across the agencies. We will be having more progress on that at a future date and that will be providing those in the future yo updates. Were also continuing our work with the Planning Department to make sure that if there are any reconciliations with the citys general plan and the waterfront plan, we will take care of that as well. And to amend the San Francisco planning code so that we create a Design Review process that incorporates all projects along the seven and a half waterfront that would review the process which today is only extended in the northern half of the waterfront and in the pier 70 and mission rock projects. We want all of our projects along the southern half miles to go under the Design Review procedures. So i think i gotta head of myself. I just explained all of the next steps already. With that, im happy to answer any questions. Its been a really great experience to meet with people to explain what the plan is all about. The work that you are leading on us for the historic pier rfp and the item on 3032 have also been helpful for people to understand how these
