Capital and operations of the center. So please approve the fund. Thank you very much. Thank you. Next speaker. I will call out the next cards. [ reading speakers names ] if there is anybody else aside from those speakers when want to speak, please line up on the far wall. Supervisors, good afternoon. Potrero neighborhood association. Were pleased that our amendments on the citizen representatives and the business representatives,. Representatives no. 3 and 4 has been amended and we would like to request District Representative have the same controls as representatives 3 and 4 so they live in the mission bay neighborhood, potrero hills, somewhere close to the stadium and not out on Treasure Island or the tenderloin or someplace like that. Were optimistic with the proposal from the warriors and in the area where its going to cause significant issues, a number of residents of potrero hill and dog patch are still highly concerned that this so this needs to be sold to them. So they understand what is going to go on there. The proof will be inment implementation by the city, the mta and warriors. We need the additional cars for the tline and to go to caltrain and not terminate. The Ferry Landing is critical, because the giants are telling us that a large percentage of their patrons are coming by the ferry boats. So a Ferry Landing would also help mission bay. The e or end line needs to be extended to 25th street and needs to be pcos and a livable street s for dog patch and potrero. We have speeders and people running stop signs and significant problem because of applications like waves that route people on to our streets instead of keeping them on the freeways. Thank you for your time and at this time the boosters are not endorsing the project, but would like to continue to work with mr. Albert and the committee. Thank you, mr. Castro. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon, carla tucker, native San Francisco and academic enrichment program. We also have a group of wonderful supporters from various communities and organizations, which brings me to talk about our nba Championship Team the Golden State Warriors. The warriors project will attract over 4,000 jobs both permanent and construction. Seeing that bay view has the highest unemployment rate, our families are excited about the opportunities that this will bring to our city. The warriors have already demonstrated tremendous amount of Community Support particularly in the bay view community, by providing tickets for kids and families to attend professional basketball games, awarding several bay view organizations grants, refurbishing our courts and neighborhoods and showing just an overall commitment to health and education. It will also trigger creation of a brandnew Waterfront Park along the terry a. Francois boulevard, which will set a tone for better access to the waterfront and eventually add a connection point to other waterfront projects like the Hunters Shipyard and candlestick point. The move will generate more than 40 million upfront funds to pay for transit improvements for the neighborhood, including expanded muni and ttrain services. This is something that will also definitely benefit the families in the bay view community. I think that San Francisco deserves a worldclass sports and entertainment facility. Thank you. Thank you very much. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon, my name is tom lippe and i represent the Mission Bay Alliance that opposed this project as you know. I will submit three letters one from my office that objects to the ceqa finds and other from cocounsel that talks about the public subsidy you are going to provide and the third one is one that you may have seen before, from Bruce Alberts and 20 other faculty members from uc f sf, if i can paraphrase, for this area to be Health Sciences and biotechnology and this is a key legal issue and because the [pro ept ] project sin consistent with the redevelopment plan in a number of ways. I want to move to bigpicture points of the process. I have gone to the hearings and since the time of the final eir, there hasnt been enough time to look at the serious legal issues. Any development is its both a political process and a legal process. And sometimes the politics can overwhelm the law, and here you have lots of Strong Political forces that are urging you to approve this project. But you have lots of legal reasons to stop and say, wait a minute, we have legal issues, we have legal violations. And i think a comment that was made at the Planning Commission last week summarized my concern, one the Planning Commissioners after the Public Comment said there is a small restaurant on grove street that we had earlier on the agenda that got more opposition than the warriors arena. That denigrates the written opposition that has come in. My client has submitted 40 letters that detail serious legal violations and also den grates the depth of the faculty members who signed the letter to the original vision for this area. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon, chair, and supervisors. My name is barbara french. I am vice chancellor at ucsf and im here to represent chancellor hall good as the rest of the ucsf. Werish to express our support for the Golden State Warriors event center and development and specifically for the ordinance that is before you today. Ucsf has been studying this project for overia a year. Initially the concerns focused on the impacts to the hospital, that opened this year, cancer children and women. As we study the project, our concern quickly focused on the traffic impacts and how that might hinder the ability for emergency vehicles for patients and their families and for the more than 3,000 employees who work at the hospitals to get to work on time . We in analyzing the project, we do support an active mission bay environment, which some neighbors have testified today. Our concerns quickly focused on the impacts during what we call our peak hours, the times there would be an overlap between a large event at the arena and homegame of the giants, and a situation that could bring more than 60,000 people into that neighborhood. We looked that the time, because our analysis showed that this would likely cause the biggest traffic issues for patients and our Health Care Workers during this time of analysis our chancellor publicly announced his qualified support pending some agreements around traffic and last month the city, the warriors and ucsf announced that we had those agreements and ucsf gave the project its endorsement. Its our firm belief that the measures that you heard of today, as well as other measures that have been implemented will provide a level of monitoring and management sufficient to ensure that people who need access tot to the hospitals and workers to provide that critical care. In conclusion, we do support the ordinance before you today. Thank you very much. Next speaker, please. Hi. Im Scott Van Horn and thank you for the opportunity to speak today. Im a dog patch resident. I live just a block from site and i can actually see the site from my deck. Im fully in support of this project. The benefits it will bring to the entire area are immense. The warriors have worked with the residents and city and Transportation Plan including bus and lightrail service, almost 30 parking control officers and railcars and additional police, the possible ferry service, bypass track, et cetera. All are wonderful and needed, but the thing that really shows how this is a clear win for our neighborhood and city is the transportation improvement fund. This fund will allow the city to spend money on whatever it decides to as the project progresses and events start. I would anticipate eventually using this fund to do things like, provide even more service from 16th street bart station, some additional officers in the dog patch area after events and hopefully building the ferry terminal. Local businesses and residents desperately need the transportation improvements with or without the new arena. However, if we let the billionaires and lawyers who want the land for themselves, we will get nothing and well continue to have a dilapidated field and pit sitting there for many, many more years. Well not get the new services and businesses and well not get the warriors next championship. Thank you. We urge support for this project. Thank you, next speaker, please. Good afternoon, supervisors. My name is John Cornwall and 20year resident and member of the board of rain rincon Hill Development association. The big 800pound gorilla is transportation and congestion. So we can order all the extra streetcars we want and put in bus bridges and all the rest, but currently we all know there is a 28 p. M. , even without a special event at the ballpark, 80 is already congested and the on ramp to mariposa is congested and we have reached saturation. There is some very highlevel Traffic Studies that we did when was going to be on pier 3032 and showed that the commute hours would be extend on each end. You have to ask yourself, there is something very unique about the Sports Events and the events are synchronized. If you have offices or labs, people would adopt their schedules, but you have 18,000 people coming to a sporting event that begins and completely overlapping and synchronized in terrible hours. Every single event has thousands of hours of disparate impact and i could get into the opportunity costs of an arena versus office space or what have . When these entitled projects come online, transbay terminal, the giants, its going to be car magedon thank you, any other speakers. Thank you, supervisors for letting us speak. My name is rudy from the united players. Been serving the community in the city and county of San Francisco 21 years. We just cleaned your neighborhood. That was the kids version. Kids in school. We are here in full support of the warriors stadium built in a city built in a city that is built on champions. We have right here in right here behind me, people from district 6, people from Treasure Island, people from. Tenderloin and south of market. President obama is speaking about reentry and we have one brother who did 35 and Rick Stevenson who just came home and did 36 years. When you talk about reentry and talk about giving opportunity, this is the people from the community and the people from the hood. We are groundzero people. We are the people who are about safety. That is our no. 1 thing that we fight for, is safety in our community. They say dont stop we need housing. We need jobs. We need health care and this is the opportunity that they are giving to our community and our people. So were thankful for that and letting us speak here and letting us share. Thank you. Thank you guys for coming. Much appreciated and thank you for being in district 2 over the weekend. It was fun. I dont know how many lead singers you have had before you, but here i am, gold records and a prison record and its a pleasure to be here and support this. Thank you all. Thank you. Anybody else from the public who wishes to comment on these items . Please step forward. Hi. My name is alex and im here representing the Mission Bay Alliance as winstonsalem. Wall. I wanted to say given the new information revealed by mr. Rosen budget Analyst Report but what or because this information is different, to ask for a defer to read through the documents and absorb what was shared today putting the taxpayers on the hook for 29 million that as of yet unfunded and process the fact this stadium is not generating the kind of revenues that we had previously anticipated. Thank you. Thank you very much. Anybody else wishing to comment on items 14 . Please step forward. Anybody else, please line up on the far side of the wall, so we can finish it up. Thank you. My name is leo schwartz and would request more information according to the brown act. These materials are not published in compliance with the brown act and i had to call on friday to find out this meeting was being changed and nothing was posted until after i called midday friday items 14. So they should be posted farther in advance. Thank you. Thank you, anybody else to comment on items 14 . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Before we get to discussion amongst our colleagues, i would like to call back mr. Adam vander water, who had comments based on some of the testimony earlier. Thank you, chair farrell. Supervisors, a couple of comments in response to commentary today. First, there was a comment made about parking. And a suggestion that this move entirely to an office space. The proposal before you today is actually 100 fewer spaces than would be allowed under a full office development. So its not by any stretch of nba standards by mission bay standards or city code, overparked. Second you heard the university of california, San Francisco talk about access this. Was a very important thing in our conversations with the community. I mentioned the local hospital access plan, which provides access for nonemergency vehicles. What i did not mention is that eir analysis talks about no significant impacts to emergency vehicles under the no project, the project, the project plus cumulative conditions and the 20 40 conditions and the reason were able to say that, there are transit priority lanes, north, south, east and west and once we complete the 16th street corridor on 16th street the redstriped lanes under traffic code will permit emergency vehicles. And on an occasionally basic nonemergency vehicles to use those lanes. Our feeling is between the 28 parking control officers, the transit priority lanes, and the added Transit Service to the neighborhood, that even under peak conditions that access to this neighborhood may actually improve over Current Conditions today. There was some commentary about the fiscal impacts of this report. These were comments that were made last wednesday, and we responded to at the Planning Commission last thursday. They are simply holding up the revenues from the arena against the proposed sources we presented today, versus an alloffice building. Which they resume would bring in an additional 2,000 employees without impact to city services. So they contributed zero costs to the added employee and gave no benefit to the existing employees as part of the two Office Towers onsite. Finally, with two other comments. One with respect to the other budget analyst recommendation, that we did not discuss. Their first recommendation. We fully agree with that recommendation and, in fact, the item before you, item 1 today, adopts the ceqa findings and the mmrp included in that mmrp and ceqa findings is a transfer of responsibilities adopted by the ocii on tuesday and by the mta board and while were in full agreement with the budget analyst, its an unnecessary amendment to make today because its already contained in what is adopted before you today. Finally the comment about rush to judgment and request for continuance. This has been part of the standard approval process. We have been providing adequate notice and, in fact have been responding in writing to what we refer to as data dumps within hours of our meetings and dont feel there is any new information that wasnt addressed in the analyses or our responses to comments. Thank you, any comments from my colleagues or questions at this time . Mr. Vander water, anything else that you want to add . Just one second. By the way, in case i didnt do it, Public Comment is now closed. [ gavel ] we also submitted a response to a comment about public subsidy for the project in writing. And submitted that to the clerk of the board as part of the file. Mr. Vander water in terms of amendments to item 1 that you distributed earlier, could you just briefly highlight what they are for us . To budget analyst recommendation no. 1. No, no. To item no. 1. The ceqa findings. There was i believe some small amendments handed out earlier or ask our city attorney. The substantive items of the recommendation that we have handed out in response to some recent comments with the neighborhood related to the composition of the Advisory Committee that would be advising the mta for the transportation improvement fund. That is item no. 2 and to talk to item no. 1 really quick. John malamut from the city attorneys office. There were before you today there are four pieces of legislation and each one has a series of minor technical amendments made to it. Your questions were about the very first item on the ceqa findings. Many of these things are just minor additions. One recognizes the mtas approval on november 3rd. Just a few other minor things. While im here i might as well speak to amendments to the delegation ordinance, which is the third item on your agenda. There was one small addition on the its on page 4 of the ordinance, line 23 and 24, just recognizing the existing process that the city usually goes through for accepting public improvements and recognizing that the director of public works can make those decisions in this case, given that everything is really mapped out in terms of what the obligations are for public infrastructure. There are also a few minor additions to the last item on your agenda, the street and easement vacations, and that is primarily to recognize there is an existing agreement on the use of the temporary Terry Francois connector boulevard that will remain in place until the permanent improvements are constructed as part of this project. There are a series of agreements that the city needs to work through with various par
