in front of embarcadero because it's convenient embarcadero lose traffic. i was here a week ago with the residents raising questions not so much about this design but how the entire site works. they have deferred seawall on 230 which is a huge issue hotel and it's surrounded by residents. if we don't have a solution to how people are going to flow through this area a in his design doesn't need that much. so you are challenged to raise those questions. thank you >> good afternoon, president fong and commissioners. i think back earlier to director rams statement about negative value land that he saw in detroit. i've seen recently a trend for, you know, keeping things the way their and not changing them. they sort of flight for blight that's happening near our waterfront. i gap working in the ship repair industry that piers 40 and southwest marine and the ear was full of warehouses and garment industries. i began to build portside and watch the growth of this area congressman in p a december late part of town. what i see now is still parking lots; right? and t

which means the west side of the embarcadero is within the commission's jurisdiction. all sea walls fall within that and with a positive side these two projects are strongly interlinked and i don't think -- >> no. >> i see this forum and the ability for the public to speak is a great opportunity to bring this project to everybody interested and this is the place where people can make the public comments, where people can view all of the exhibits. not everything can come to the cac or port meetings in order to participate. >> and just to reinforce you will have to review zoning changes for both side of the street and make recommendations on the planning code changes to the board. >> thank you. thank you. >> i would also add i believe over the pier property you have the granting body for conditional use changes theorizations. >> okay. >> commissioner hillis. >> i don't know if this was mentioned but timing now what is the latest on the timing as far as when these actions will be before us? i know it's early to predict that. >> sure. we are hoping to bring it back for cer

on drum street, when back up to south of market, and embarcadero to the bay bridge and as you know it is already congestived. and if you read the papers recently, it said, san francisco is the third worst congestived city? the united states as far as traffic is concerned. so if we take all of those things into consideration, sure, let's get on paper, and then the reality is, that it is very, very big. and it is not just not the right place. and the whole venue that is not being discussed today and the hotel towers and the condo on the other side and 175 feet which is worse than 8 washington and 105 feet for the hotel. and which is unbelievably, disfavorable. and just as we predicted and we said, if you open up 8 washington and others will follow, we were right. and the same thing as far as my park. >> oh, we will put a botchy ball court on the southern end of the plaza. and don't worry no one else will come after that. and guess what? >> we have a children's playground. which did not belong there because we have six parks that have play grounds and so you see that it is all, and it is

and you will be able to access that directly from the embarcadero level itself. across from the red is a plaza that is substantial and it prosides also the views out to the bay as you enter the edges of the pier in the future, and this is up at the top of the event center and looking off to the bay bridge and to the south, and we only have a couple more points i will move along, one of them in fact is a very important is insuring that the site lines are protected to the bear area and the south bay and first of all we would like to point out to be the previous design of 2.0 and if you look closely, the little, red dot, at the high line, and on the north of the page, is where people would first see this design as they approved from the city and they were looking straight into a craoe tail and the vaek access point and in the current scheme. it stays? the same place and you procedure vieded a view along the passage and directly to the northwest access point and to the pier as you are going up the retail and you do kind of a hairpin turn and turn back to the north an

and the embarcadero is crowded day and night now, before we even have a terminal there or recreation facility. and now i just asked you, to think very, very carefully about the traffic congestion and the traffic flow before you improve this facility because rate now things are very serious and they could be much more serious later on, thank you. >> thank you. >> michael mckenna? >> >> the out reach to the neighborhood associations and the traffic and they have provided the out reach to the building trades and to the local hire, and what she said about providing good, paying jobs for san franciscans, and i'm started my career in construction, on the water front and working in the ship repair industry and actually, started some of the first projects. i can see the pier, 30 and 32 deteriorate, since i gun working in that area, and it is really sad, and to see the opportunities in the beginning and we missed the opportunity of the cruise ship terminal there looking towards the bay bridge and so that i think they have done the outstanding job in toning this down and building open space, a

and as you move along the embarcadero there is a lot of interesting and what the impact of the mass of the facility will be on those people that are moving along the embarcadero's edge and so we made this diagram and this is a section through the site and there are a couple of things to point out here that if you look at the pavillion itself, the hao*it has not changed but the edges of building have dropped to 110 feet and so the para pit line or the line in which most people perceive the height of the building has dropped 15 feet and that in conjunction with the 50 foot height of the retail along the edge, makes the building in effect *, almost envisible as you move along the edge of the street itself. this is the tress, that the people move along the shore line with and you can see that in the scheme that we are working with, that it is really the retail that provides the direct understanding of the site, and you see over it to the sky, and where it is at&t park where we see the edge of the architecture itself to the street edge and so we think that this is ap important aspect of the

that is proposed for the pier across from bryant embarcadero. i live in the neighborhood not an activist not particularly sociably activity. i would love to see moot architect building. i think what's not been take into account the location of the arena. the neighborhood is really made up of very small streets. there isn't parking and traffic. the traffic situation is not suitable to accommodate the kind of traffic that will come through the neighborhood in addition to the events and defames at the at&t park. with the giant state and spell your name for the record that was built that was amazing and beautiful a jewel to the city we've seen a huge increase in traffic both pedestrian and auto in the neighborhood. it's fine we've worked around it but a artery like brian that's a main thoroughfare we have gridlock at the intersections. when events let out and event before them start. so i'm not opposed to develop in the city. i'm not opposed to change i want to make sure we're considering the quality of life for the folks who live in the neighborhoo

and look across your view is not defined by the area but defined by the embarcadero those have a scale. if you compare that to the at&t park i'm going to go back you see the dashed line didn't move it's the same location along the highway and it's a different amount of things. we hope you'll see the advantage of keeping those retail mass sz as they are. people concerns is the bay is so wide and a generous in the south it's actually, the horizon is huge how will that be protected. the pushing of the retail away from the opening you get a great view to the south portions of the bay itself. it's hard to see but the triangle responds to the actually part of the building. you'll see did mountains in the background. likewise when you get next to the bridge you'll see into the facility itself. anytime. obviously it will be managed but the motion is this is a great place for people to come and visit. the path of traffic is key. this is an important slide. all of the red represents wheel access or ways to get to the site if you're in whole or chair access. there's ways to move in that regard. t

instead, they called it access to the embarcadero. even in their attorneys any of their attorneys in their door hangs or tv ads do they mention the building or address the height or address the budget. no, they tried to address other issues which i'm happy to explain are red herrings. >> thank you, mr. barb. >> everywhere i live i talk about the buildings and height. the idea is to put the whole project out there it's the other side who wants to hide the fact if you look at the models there's some real stunt to enjoy the waterfront and talking about red herrings. what louis mentioned about the sewer that's a redundant sewer system that the city a having and the project sponsor is helping with an easement. thargz to work closely that the puc engineers of the city and by unanimous vote going forward with the plans. talking about red herrings and misleading campaigns remember where's the beef where's the wall on the waft that the adverse talk about. it's half the height of the 6 floor believe on the waterfront but it should be looking mu

i'm a resident in embarcadero. i want to express serious concerns about the development. i'm not a developer but i've taken time to attend several meetings and the presentations on this project i have serious concerns with the local concerns that the resident concerns are not being dealt with. there's some planning going on to the planning, zoning code to follow and everything in this plan throws it out the window. we're - i want to encourage the planning commission to get involved or send some recommendation or someone with intelligence. we have the mta coming down and telling us they want to open that bryant street excuse me. beal street it's part of a orus project was cut off yet necessary want to open up through traffic to the neighborhoods and parking for the entertainment business. i'm sorry i was in a building maybe 60 cars during the day and cars for the general public but they're going to come into the garage and have valet serviced. the impacts on the neighborhood go way beyond i hope the planning commission get involved. i want to see them provide the prospecti

embarcadero. the marina we do not want to encroach the embarcadero. if 8th wash ington wash was 30 percent affordable housing and 10 percent section 8. i would not it because it encroaches embarcadero. thank you. >> thank you, next speaker? >> an carpal , resident for 20 years. i came here for the parks thing. but that's been continued. there are a few things that i left out of my communication relating to that particular topic. that can be our core problems or issues i should say that haven't been mitigated or any -- it just an appears there has been no thought about the citizen impact in any of these development agreements and the public private relationships and as we see with the friends of the public library, there is a lot of issues. would like the board of supervisors to consider maybe developing whistle blower programs especially for non-profits because inform profit entities have the sec and other agencies looking at them. cities got it's own cities looking at them and mechanisms whether they are followed or not have those mechanisms in place

so although obviously there are some implications of the design along the embarcadero. i'm maple to answer as many questions as i can we're happy to answer questions about the whole. your focus is on thirty and 32. the first thing we wanted to remind you have we've been continual stabilizing the pier. there's been a lot of studies to assure that the pier can be stabilized to manage the pier as it krmgz into the bay. so part of our a big part of our goal and emphasis is to make sure it's viable for the citizens of the community. we're looking forward to creating a design that provides for access than we're able to have here today. 3 that will be open on all sides important our first sketch is a reminder and also to suggest to you that although many changes have been made the core consent is the same. so the open space is a commodity not just a left over thing. this particular idea has been carried through to the original scream. but the emphasis on the view to the bay bridge peer to the south will be maintained in this current design. moving from the north to the south t

and the map here, is the sea wall from china basin north as you see as part of the embarcadero national district and the sea wall south appear 54 was constructed after the 1950s, and my poor attempt to show you where mission creek is located. and mission creek provides a really ideal location to study adaptation strategies because it is one of the lowest lying areas. and storm water run off from mission bay, also trains to mission creek and complicating future flooding events and this is an ideal place to study and this graphic shows the existing condition in green, and in red, the 2050 scenario, and with 15 inches of sea level rise and in blue, the scenario with a55 inches of sea level rise. >> this proposed study is the out growth of prior sea level rise work and led by dcdc on its adaptation adapting to rising tides project and this project is a collaborativive planning effort to help san francisco communities to adapt to the rise and event flooding. this project has engaged local regional and state and federal agency and organizations as well as non-profits and private association.

>> on the first slide that you showed maybe, it is my imagination, but does the embarcadero get narrow at that point, or is it still the same still, three lanes? >> the answer is no. simply the entrance for the vehicle support access is placed in the middle of the site. >> okay. >> i like what you have done and dropping the part that, and that is really, makes it look nice and her yeah, there was a lot of public comments on the parking. and we talked a little bit about the parking? >> yes, of course. >> is there going to be parking in the stadium itself? >> there is a number of vehicular support facilities on the site and there is also, there is for loading and other to the site and as you know, in addition to this being a basketball venue, it will be used for cultural and other activities and related to entertainment and so that those could have it under fleeting the plaza and there is parking spaces for the fire station and dedicated to users of the arena. >> and so that will be down on the mezzaninelevel? >> you can't see it because of the way that we have made the design is that th

the airport or the south bay that choke up all of the streets from 8th street all wait down to the embarcadero and so it seems illogical to me that you would put a huge impact project directly at the epi center of the problem and that, and this is a problem that already has the extra impact of the giants on the weekend. and it just seems illogical and then to start from that premise and go to a transportation system and adding capacity to a system where you are driving to put peak on peak capacity is a very inefficient way to allocate resources and so i know that it is a beautiful spot and i know why, professional team, or business people would want to make a huge entertaining complex there, and it is just the wrong location on the number of people transiting the area. and the number of people living in the area. and it is just too much, thank you. >> >> thank you very much, next speaker, please? >> i want to use the computer overhead and i am going to try to rip through a lot of points in two minutes i have my presentation available on-line at clean air pledge.com. there is no candy coating t
