It is 5. 5 acre park with lots of aminities that will include plaza as well as trail paths so i would differ to the project manager, mark slokeen to present on the matter as well as we have the Development Team who will also be presenting. Good afternoon madam chair mondejar, commissioners, director; mark slescon project manier for mission bay and before and is mission bay Bay Front ParkSchematic Design, request we will have for you guys as a conditional approval of the Schematic Design for Bay Front Park p 22 as well adoping Environmental Review finding pursuant to California Environmental quality act. Today we will go over the site information, the design standards, project design, the team introductions, community outreach, mission bay cac, sbe contracting, ceqa findings and next steps and any questions. As you can see here, this is the largest park in Mission Bay South and it is located on the east side of the project area along the bay. It is across the street from where the future event center will be. Here is a amenities map with all the amenities growing in mission bay. I dont think anything new since the last presentation but have a birch more coming soon on 4th street. For the design standards, two sets of standsards, Mission Bay South design for development. That was requires we have open flexibility use lawn areas to accommodate passive, active and major recreation use, soccer field and other sports. Performance area, and accessory use and restaurants under port ownership and the port will build a restaurant in the northern part of the park not part of this design. There will be a pad for later use but will work with the port on that design and also some restrooms in that area. Also, pathways linking city and regional pedestrian and bike systems and continuation the bay trail on the eastern park. There is also the San Francisco bay conservation and Development Commission permit and that calls for the Bay Front Development enhance the viewer of the bay and maximize efforts to provide enhance and preserve use of the bay and shore line especially from the public areas and the bay itself. With these guidelines contrains what we can do, but you will see a great presentation. The team here today the land owner is port of San Francisco and david [inaudible] is here any questions later. The Master Development is fossil mv and Mission Bay Development group and luke stort is here representing them. The Landscape Architect is surface design and raujric wally [inaudible] representing surface design. Private coordination [inaudible] dana perry and [inaudible] will be here shortly. From the Civil Engineering dealing with storm water management. Graphic productions is omni digital andnot here yet. Same with outreach and programming site lab and another Civil Engineer ghd. Now well switch over to the presentation from roderick wily of surface. Roderick wily with surface design, thank you for allowing us to present the park to you today. As you know, project like this is a big sort of team project. So, we are really thrilled to be presenting to you a design that incorporated all kind of team members recollect Civil Engineering and community outreach. I know i want to make sure i touch the right button. I think that you are familiar with the site. It is a site we are really honored to be working on right at the bay, sort of eastern tip of mission bay. We think it is a amazing opportunity to provide open space for the city and for the neighborhood. Also, it is opportunity to really celebrate the bay, the water, but also to celebrate the maritime history of the site. So, thats something that weve incorporated into our design thinking. You can see that this is part of a sort of larger master plan that the western edge of the park is the newly aligned nob naeb Terri Francois boulevard. Apologies forthere we go. Thank you. This is the park. I know that you have a booklot showing the park but this is the slide of where we are with the park right now. Schematic design, a lot of details are being flushed out, but the spirit the park i think is represented in this drawing. A lot of it is a very large open space that we imagine to be very flexible so programmed with event, programmed with informal sort of soccer games and on the southern part the site is a applauseey that connects more clearly with the 16th street corridor and allows for activities, connection tooz the water of course but also bbq and picnicking and events like that. Much of the sort of overriding design of the park was sort of related regulatory guidelines and those guidelines are prescriptive. Thesenter of the park is intend today be flexible open space and the plaza space at termination of 16th street is the more urban space. On the north side the park is the proposed restaurant space. We have been work wg bcdc not only in terms of the bay trail that runs all the way along the east side the park, but also in terms how the park shapes and allows access to views to the water. So, the views that we are outlining in this diagram talks about view tooz the water and east and maritime Activity Still there. The dry docks are functioning and part of port history and contemporary port use so we want to celebrate those and make sure people understand where they are in San Francisco. We are been ginning to develop materials for the park. These materials are 34e7b9 to be very resilient. This is a site we imagine a lot of people will use and speak tooz the history so it doesnt necessarily to be pressure materialsment we think we can be thoughtful about how we detame the material squz incorp thait in the park so we are talkingof course part of that is ent grating access lt to the park but not in a way that that becomes sort of distracting to accessibility but it is integrated in every sort of place that we work on in the park. The materials are fairly simp squl we know we can detail them in a elegant way. We talk about cast and place concrete for paths, asphalt painchs on the street edge and small insertions of wood to break down the over all scale and gesture of the design. The furniture plan for the park is developing. It helps to underscore the way we think about the park. The applauseey we are showing picnic table s and bbq, things that activate urban in the park. The larger lawn space re 345i7bs uncluttered from furniture along the east edge the parkt. We are excited to the opportunity to bring peep tool the agand have a moment to sit in what we imagine a fairly naturalistic experience and insertion into the city. We are beginning to work with stew winchester who is horticulturerist who has done work in mission bay. There is learning to be gleamed what succeeded in mission day and what hasnt succeeded in mission bay so we are trying to pinpoint exact species but now what we are proposing is brizbane box widely someplaceed 35 feet apart. It is something that doesnt32 feet wide so something that doesnt impinge on views but creates a urban edge people can respond time in. And then beginning to develop of overall strategy for planting so incorporating plant types. There is turf lawn of course but along the edge of the water is coastal scrub so something that speaks to the larger landscape and the planting we find in the bay area. This is a plan breaking down the programmatic elements of the plan. The waterfront composed of the bay trail and porchs, the moments where people stop and take in the water. The bay front green which is the open space can be programmed in all ways. 16th street plaza is urban end of 16th street. The restaurant cafe which is phased in at a later date and the promenade which creates this grand walk along Terri Francois. I know parking is a concern. There will be parking along terri fron swau boulevard and p 21 which is the parking lot on the north side of this slide. We have copal of blow ups of park design now. This is 16th street plaza design and the vista point we are trying tothe sea wall is in great shape. It is fairly new construction on the site so something that is resilient and serving the purpose of the edge. We are still ritoog invite people out to the edge. That sense that you are on the water and thats really the inspiration for the vista point and various kind of moments when you polk out tworsds the water. And then on the north side the park, the bay front green creates the sort of overriding experience on this part of the park. There is a small plaza directly across the street at the termination of south street. This is not something we imagine heavily programmed. It is a bump out within the promenade along terri fron francois boulevard. We applied for a grant from caltrans and Oakland Museum to use some fragments the bay bridge that was dismantle recently and we received a grant which we are really excited about. So, we have stock piled materials to possibly use as a shade structure in this park. It is something we are really excited about. We will be working with the local artist currently not yet named but have a few ideas and reaching out to leakal artist to see who might be compatible and design something reallyue meek and that speaks to the history of San Francisco. So, right now you are seeing actually our depiction of that shade structure which as i said is to be realized by a artist but we are trying to give a sense how it might be used in the park as a shade structure. There is a plaza looking east. This is the other view of the green looking south. So, you can see in a way we are imagine this structure as it develops in design be c34s a threshold from one zone to the other. A pretty straight forward view looking south of the bay front green, so we can i 3457b8gen all kind of uses here. There is probably never enough spaces for people to kind of have pick up soccer or any kinds of informal actaveties like that. A view south street plaza. This is the applauseey plaza i mentioned. The terminationf south street. Probably not as programmed as the 16th streetplaza. We wouldnt propose bbq and picnic tables, it is place for people to rest and creates a more intimate scaled edge to the park. These are terraces, so these are the west side thf park. Very subtle topography that allow the view about the grade to look at the water. Creating more intimately scaled park spaces. Ultimately the vocabulary of this park is one that is an oasis in the city. There is Large Program spaces but the idea is that also people have a moment to breathe and kind of reflect on being in the city or on the water. It is a real respite, that is the way we imagine it. Then finally there is subtle grading that creates a bit of a promentory for people to take into even more. Thats my slides. Thank you. Thank you. Jennifer m att Economic Workforce Development and was interested in key projects along the water front including the Chase Event Center across the street. Sadly in december 2012 she passed afrom pank attic cancer so in recognition of great contributions there is a element of the park dedicated to her. Later this summer we will work with family and in communication with the family to determine what is the appropriate memorial for her. Outreach over the past 18 months ocii the port and design team held 8 Public Meetings to develop review and receive feedback and approval for the park concept. Thrfs a specific design workshops, port central advisory group. Bcdc Design Review board. Mission Bay Citizen Advisory Committee on two occasions and just last month we were before the port of San Francisco commission which they approved design as well. Mission bay cac went for approval january 17 and after discussing concerns it was approved. The initial concerns about lack of exexpressive Design Elements and activation. It a great conversation talking about the constraints and bcdc permit that you have to keep more level areas to allow for views out to the bay as well as bay inwards so within those constraints we have a really great design and they ultimately approved it. They were also concerned about the porch area not damaged by skate boarders, very big concern in a lot of parks and then also with the shade pavilion they wanted to make sure that there was access to power and water so it is accessible for that. Sbe contracting, the agency goal was 50 percent Small Business enterprises on this was consultant who achieved 70 percent. Informational, there was 29. 6 percent minority owned and 5. 3 percent women businesses. During construction well affair the 50 percent sbe subcontracting goal as well as 50 percent local participation and that will be acheebed. Here is data break out of the consultant to show how w
