Under the port jurss diction. In response to prop b, the giants obtained approval for prop d garning 74 percent Approval Rating for sites, density and land use program. Following the success of prop d, the team developed draft site design controls, providing detailed information to support the environmental analysis that is required under ceqa, California Environmental quality act. Developed and issued a new draft infrastructure plan under review by several city departments today and developed ish oo draft Sustainability Strategy and Transportation Plan frz the project. Go frgward, port and oewd staff are currently in negotiating key transaction documents for the project development. Over the next several months staff will return to the commission for policy direction to aid these negotiation jz look forward to your input. Key upcoming milestoneicize publication the draft irement Environmental Impact report anticipated february of next year and following bide the final eir and transaction documents which well bing you the middle of next year. The eir process will provide the public and Decision Makers a opportunity to review the technical detail thofz projecktd and potential Environmental Impacts and provide opportunities to comment on the project. The giants support and city staff will continue work oferk the next several month tooz conduct ongoing public out reach and engage; finalize design control for public rem improvement, coordinate inplanning with city departments and finalize transportation and sustainability plans. We willologist work to coordinate project phasing over time with the ports adjacent commercial tenants, pier 15 and 48, [inaudible] are in the project and Maintenance Facility at pier 50 and coordinate with the maritime tenant at pier 48 and 50. Across the street from the plauject we have the Public Safety building and in negotiation and discussion i should say with the fire and Police Department to insure the safe melding of the projethwith their operations. Today, the giant will provide a update and overview affthe proposed lands use for mission rock and Progress Report on Site Planning sustainability planning and projethresponse to Sea Level Rise. After the presentation the project team will be available if you have further questions. With that, i like to introduce jake bair from the San Francisco giants. [inaudible] observe before we get started i want as a member of the port family congratulate elaine on being port director. I met with commissioner adams at the beginning of the process and insured the port staff would not miss a beat and be seamless presenting and Going Forward with everything and want to congratulate you that on your process. It was seamless deal wg the port in part due to all the leadership elaine exercised when she was interim director. Really want to underscore how smooth it was working through the port in that process so thank you for that. I also want to add roscoe maps is a member of the team in the audience and a lot have been work ogthen project for a very long time. Back in 2007 commissioner bandon chaired a subcommittee on the possibility och development of sea wall lot 337 so here we are all most 10 years later, we are on the precipice of actually getting this done and approved. It is starting towards the next phase of building this part of inwaterfront and make ing it special and fulfilling the promise we worked on so long. Today we want to give you a little bit of a flavor of what we have been up to. There are lairs and layers of complexly to this as im sure you know and well review some of the layers. Ill start from 30 thousand feet. It afs year ago prop d passed by 74 percent of the vote and established the height limit frz each of the parcels on the project. Determined that there should be Affordable Housing at the level of 40 percent in each of the unit or each of the buildings with residential units. And mandating 8 acres of open space. Establish a birch of other policies that were a product of the planning process for the site that preceded the ballot. We are dealing with 27 acres. This is project timeline. 27 acres of land including seawall lot 337 peer, 48 and portion of [inaudible] consisting of 11 parcel. Open space primarily in two major parks along the waterfront and interior the project but including a lot of connective spaces between pier 48 and pier 50 and around pier 48. It also includes housing up to 1500 units, 40 percent of which are affordable. Office 1. 3 million scare feet of office and 250 thousand square feet of retail producing 7 thousand jobs on site. The plan also has parking and structured facility at the bottom of the site at the corner of mission rock and third street. So, immediately upon passage of the proposition d, we have been hard at work and i think we worked very very diligently with the city family to advance the projethon many fronts all at the same time. And as port staff phil joanne and rebecca can attest, it is a very very busy year. In addition to port staff we worked closely with city, regional and state agencies. Mike is here from economic and Workforce Development. Mta, department of public works, Public Utilities, bay and state land commission. We had a very productive year. Pleased to say the state of california passed legislation to facilitate the development projethand allow for a 75 year term for each of the parcels that consist of seawall lot 337 and mission rock. We are nearing the completion the environmental analysis as phil indicated. We expect that the final draft eir will be on the streets beginning of february for Public Comment is that is a enormous undertaking vauving many city agencies so we are all most at that point where we are on the street. We also worked hard building open space Design Guidelines and controls. A document that translates the many years of planning and Community Input into actual requirements for the development on the site. Building envelope set to address wind impact and sunloithd. The street and paichbing and tree jz where they are put to the wind mitigation, lighting, public art and street level retail. How many retail establishments per block to create a pedestrian environment and to fufill a promise creating a hub in mission bay. We are hard at work for infrastructure plan. How to stable the sited against effects of potential earthquake. How do we compact the site ready to be developed. The length and piles that need to be driven, many thousands. How to support the streets so they dont slump away from the buildings which is happening in other parts of mission bay. How to run the utilities and establish services. How to counteract likely Sea Level Rise that will impact the area. All those part the infrastructure plan and the product of a tremendous amount of work and thought. We also have Sustainability Strategy that is developed. And how do we build infrastructure and buildings and function as a Community Together to achieve targets for carbon reduction and reuse water on site and meet the promise that the port ask us and challenge the port ask us to meet in this area. Transportation, how will people get around . Bicycles, vehicles how will theyert interact. What about loading and services of the buildings. How do tenants gets supplies. The garage design and how everything is set up for circylshz thrmpt is a lot of work with mta and lot of different departments to think about transportation and how the community will function. How will this project be phased in terms of what is built first and how it can be a functioning operational unit together. We operate the ball park throughout the process of the developing this out. So, a lot of these issues have been advanced significantly this year and memorialized into plans that we are now discussing with all the various city agencies so we are in place and ready to go. We have as phil indicated several items underway. The business transaction, master lease, lease disposition and Development Agreement which will determine how the parcels are valued and acquired. Sample ground lease for each parcel. The financing plan, infrastructure, Community Finance district, jobs and equal opportunity plan to make sure that the benefits of the project are spread throughout our community. So, we have been busy and i wanted to introduce fran weld who is our day to day person who is really put the heart and soul into the project and see can answer questions but will go deeper on a couple items we have been working on. Thanks, jack. So, i was hoping to provide a little bit of a deeper dive on many of these topics mptd this project is so far reaching, it is fun to see the range and think also fun maybe to get a sense of the level of detail of work that the project team has been up to for the last several years. So, starting with design and public space, which is always been a foundation of sea wall 337 and pier 48 back to the original rfp is creating public space and open areas. Im showing here a image that is taken from a design controlled document at the perkens and will team put turth. This document is about this thick and every park has its own chapter and set of standards and guidelines that govern and codify the designs that will be at that space. So, one example that we have for Mission Rock Square, which is the middle park in the site surrounded by 6 of the mission rock buildings, we looked at different uses and their adjacency. The micro climate the scare. How much sunlight will be at what time of day. How it impacts the trees there and tied that into utilities and infrastructure planning. The bottom of the slide we have storm water garden programmed from the southern part of Mission Rock Square. Weve advised that to be the location and tied into the storm Water Treatment and deignage and piping and coordinated that with the infrastructure plan and what is happening under the square squujacent streets. This is a example where we have taken a look at one of the parks, what are the micro climate conditions of that park and how are people going use it and then how does that impact our infrastructure and this amount of detail has been created and thought through for every single pub lb space and park on the site. It is not just the parks, so we think of the public space of mission rock as a very diverse many different scale and type of areas. You have china basin park at the north, the image you often see of mission rock and have Mission Rock Square in thesenter but have several other public areas, different types of streets that each have their own requirements and demands. You can imagine terri fran swaus boulevard. Pier 50 and 48 requires very Different Levels of guidelines and controls than our pedestrian throughway which has more restaurants and about stroling and pedestrian experience in blue. Each of the different colors has its own chapter in design control book and that is coordinated with the infrastructure happening below grade as well. I think it is important to touch on the below grade issues and this is as good a time as any. You may hear in the news around geotechnical challenges across the city in the transbay and our neighbors at mission bay and we wanted to just talk about the amount of work and Due Diligence the Port Engineering Team has done led by nob and stephen working with our Engineering Group to investigate the conditions of the site and make sure we are prudently proceeding on the geotechnical front so performed borings this year and got more information about the soil and soil condition and we analyzed our utilities and infrastructure plan. Together we made a decision with dpw and puc on having pile supported streets and infrastructure at mission rock. That means that the Public Infrastructure we are building will be held up over time. It will not be sinking and pulling away from the buildings and it is amazing to see the newest buildings in mission day bay, the Public Infrastructure because it isnt built on piles is settling. There is a building just off of the map shown here about a block away where the sidewalk pulled away up to 4 inches in less than two years. You see this is clearly not sustainable from a fulsh planning and Public Investment and safety and accessibility and ada. Together with the port team and our engineering we did this investigation and collectively decided to move forward with piled supported streets on the infrastructure which we believe means this mission rock site will be able to stay for many years to come and wont have to redo what we just built. In addition, our piles that are supporting the buildings jack medicationed mentioned6 thousand at last counth, the average length is 230 feet and planning to go down to bedrock. Taking the Long Term Plan because this is a long term asset and a civic state land port and city asset where we will not be cutting any corners and we are going in the most prudent and responsible way with all the geotechnical issues and challenges facing buildings on fill land near the water. So in addition to the design of the parks and open space, we have been working a lot on circulation and transportation. This part the sitee had a lot of growing pains as it buildbuilt out and want to make sure the tha recordinated from day one as they can be. You are look thath bicycle circulation network which shows a coordinated plan with mta down to the location of stop signs whether they are two way stop signs, 4 way stop signs, the width of the cycle lanes and the transition between bicyclist coming from a street into a park area. All of that has been talked through with the different agencies and port departments and will be reflected fully in the design package of controls. So, from the beginning the pub lic experience has been highlight of mission rock and parks and open space and recently added this layer of retail and the pedestrian experience to our design thinking. You may recognize this study we presented to you last year about different neighborhoods around the city and different land use mixes and did this to make sure that the land use mix we were proposing for mission rock with the residence and office and the retail uses made sense from a neighborhood hol istic perspective so you see at the top of each color how mission rock stacks up compare today the different neighborhoods we studied from potrero hill, to hayes vala and mission and haight. We have taken it one step further in design control and look at a detailed finer view of the retail itself. The next slide with the pink buildings stacked up shows 4 neighborhood streets in the city and mission rock, the shared way of pedestrian mainstreet for mission rock is on the far right. The different colors represent different sizes of stores and restaurants, so we dug in deep to detail and rhythm of what a great main street looks like and feels like. How is it to walk down that street. How many openings are there per block, how many stores per block. What are the windows and restaurants look like. We used this information to write the guidelines for how architects will be aloud to build on mission rock. This is a area that i think is very important to be tightly coordinated Going Forward with open space and streets so we have the best ploest compelling neighborhood on the waterfront. This is a imobject thf shared public way which is a result of all of that deep research the perkens and will deep team has done on design of great public spaces and streets. Shoulder to shoulder with the ports commitment for great public spaces is a commitment on sustainability and the depth of this has really allowed us to per sue groundbreaking sustainability strategies. We set extraordinary targets here from 100 percent of our Building Energy demand met with Renewable Resources to zero water waste. These are very lofty goal squz we believe they are absolutely achievable. We see a path forward to save 40 million gallons of water every year on the site if we are a able to have the cooling we talked about move forward. We see a path forward partnering with puc Power Division to reduce the Carbon Emissions coming off mission rock off the San Francisco average which is already 58 percent below a u. S. Baseline of Carbon Emissions for building. This is a extraordinary and will require a deep commitment to maintaining these goals, but it is the level and scale of a project of this size that allows us to do so. I think the legacy of mission rock sustainability and ports xhilt to this will be a really wonderful legacy that we can pursue together. Of course perhaps the most challenging environmental consideration we have is Sea Level Rise and spent a lot of time on this already today. The port overall so just a little bit of snap shot how mission rock is planning to deal with Sea Level Rise. We are raising the site to withstand 66 inches of Sea Level Rise. The site will be graded up slowly so there wont be a boundary edge. The yellow will stay as currently existing grade, transition up over the green blocks and then the blue you see in the center is where the full center
