Thank you, mr. Buckley welcome. Good afternoon, supervisors with reuben, junius rose representing the project sponsor for the ocean wide center were going to keep our focus specifically on the items the street vacation component and the ordinances that allows the direction of some of the Affordable HousingDevelopment Impact fees for the community in the big picture the project has approve pattersons within the past month including the Planning Commission approval on may 5th when the entitlements were approved it includes the 5 thousand square feet of area that is fronting jesz i didnt street and the additional were here for the recommendation on the vacation component and as i said on the use of required and voluntary Affordable Housing impact fee payments so quickly i want to mention on the street vacation the fact were asking to vacate or with the existing streets and mean well have access public assess around the project prompt and in reality you think that is the case with respect to jessie street terminates at one street and in conjunction with the street vacation creating a number of easements that allows the project assess for a pedestrian cross and throughout the site so one of the key reasons this is this the driving the open room a pubically assessable open space that is on first street and the dedicated parts of jessie street within the urn area the second component before you is the creation of downtown neighborhoods Preservation Fund that allows the project job linkage fee and the 20 percent of Affordable Housing fee and an additional 13 percent Affordable Housing to be directed and used within a mile radius of the site more Affordable Housing purposes so i the now im going to turn it over to to my colleague b that will talk about the visible where the streets radio located our entire team is here and available to answer any questions you may have. Hello. Hello, im carmen yee for the ocean wide project can we switch so were talking about the benefit quite a low the project is part of transbay redevelopment we called the transit redevelopment plan the district plan and two towers two hundred and 65 units actually unit one hundred and 69 hotel and one office space that the whole project is about mixed use project so the project at the corner of Mission Street on the north and west corner and the basics Design Concept we tried to bring create a friendly place for the city so to achieve that together with surrounding environment with the Transbay Center the south tower and alley we tried to implement our project and to keep the passages through jessie street and the alley and create a connection from the mission to jessie to the hotel so inside of the passage is Transit Development plan we add more and also, we exhaustive jessie center of the middleincome passenger way so the towers are over the heart of the urban space we call the urban room this is the designation for the neighborhood for the visitors and the users for this site so everyone has a friendly open to the Public Open Space and have the fully assess passage to connect to it. So heres an animation we wanted to show you so take into account of time to load. So the basically concept is a traditionally central core which leads and on the ground floor to the floor is open and jessie street turned 90 degrees by doing that we have a fully opened pedestrian friendly your honor, room space for the city for the neighborhood and for the project itself so the project that we mentioned the jessie streets turned 90 streets all of jessie will keep open for Emergency Vehicle and long trucks so this is the design idea for this your own room one hundred and 16 by 200 plus with a high 6 feet 8 feet the urban room will have the functioning side to besides the setting back and you can do performance and gathering and Art Exhibition and night things and this you urban room is open for the public and again jessie street turns 90 feet, however, keeping the inteshgz through the urban design and through the security cars to carefully maintain the city for this urban use so this is a diagram that shows the vacation this is basically partial of the jessie street and partial of the ed dom alley as it is by doing this we will achieve 3 goals one we create a landmark tower with benefits for the city, second we achieve the much enriched to the pedestrian Middle Passage for the neighborhood and third we achieve the 26 thousand open space which for the opens for the city for the neighbors and for the folks. Thats it. Okay. Thank you. Mr. Buckly something in closing. We are here and have city staff to answer any questions. I dont have any supervisor wiener didnt have any id like to go straight to Public Comment and call of ms. Christie wong calling names . Hi supervisors Christie Wong and policy director for spur thank you for the opportunity i want to urge you to allow ocean wide Center Project to happen it is a key component as a build out of the corridor this plan is seeks to focus regional growth in the right place and invest in transportation and will prohibition, of course, the downtown so we firmly believe that this location is the right place for growth due to proximity with the Regional Transit as the center of regional employment people that work in downtown San Francisco are the most frequent users of travel and it is important that the john updyke has placed like this and permitted opportunity in downtown 90 San Francisco it is targeting the Dense Development and this ordinance is necessary for the development to happen also just want to applaud all of the contributions this development will make on a revenue side both the one time and voluntary and on an ongoing basis and just dont take those opportunities dont underestimate i have you to keep this and now ms. Grace to speak. Thank you, ms. Grace. Thank you thank you for your time im one of the residents at the one acre located here and i wanted to propose one of the concerns the neighborhood as well as people that take Public Transportation my understanding we currently have two streets that are actually allow the trucks deliveries here and here to make a round on to the first street and on to Mission Street for the jessie street in the future to go this way to have the street going this way what that impact would be the truck delivery will have to make a round into the mist and to the streven son street for the first street and the impact is the neighbor on the division street is congested on that street as well as for Market Street we know that the subway train and muni trains are underneath and i asked for the supervisors to consider what will be the impact if by the divert the traffic to Market Street as well as i see that today, we have 5 lanes on the first street as well as Mission Street taking one lane out of that will be is a savior nightmare i have an article talking about what is the traffic today roe vs. Wade the bay bridge which we know is acquit congested so id like to ask the supervisors to consider that location thank you very much. Thank you, ms. Sheryl davis. Good afternoon.
