Next is the regular agenda. Item 5B is authorizing a personal services contract with Hollins Consulting, Inc., a California corporation for three years with three one-year options to extend in an amount not to exceed $1,300,000 for infrastructure coordination and engineering support services in connection with the implementation of the disposition and development agreements for Hunters Point Shipyard Phase 1 and Candlestick Point Hunter's Point Shipyard Phase 2, Hunter's Point Shipyard and Bayview Hunter's Point Project Areas, Discussion and Action Resolution Number 26-2025. Director Kozlowski.

Thank you, Madam Secretary. Greetings, members of the public, members of the commission. This is an item, as you heard, a contract, an engineering contract for three years. The approximate amount is $1.3 million over those three years. It's with Hollands Consulting. Hollands will be working with us in our role, OCII's role, in planning and signing off on infrastructure plans and also facilitating the completion of infrastructure improvements that are resulting from the development that's occurring in the Hunters Point Shipyard, the first phase, as well as the Candlestick area. And to present this item is Inder Grewal, who is with OCII. Inder.

Thanks, Executive Director Kozlowski, commissioners. Again, I'm Inder Garawal, development specialist for the Hunters Point Shipyard and Candlestick Point. You may remember back in July, I came to inform you all of a contract and opportunity for infrastructure coordination and engineering support services. I've now returned to you seeking authorization for a contract of our selected contractor. This would be for three years at approximately $1.3 million. Just to orient yourselves and the general public, this contract will be serving the Hunters Point Shipyard and Candlestick Point project areas shown on the screen. Primarily in the near term, they'll be focused on Hunters Point Shipyard Phase 1 and Candlestick Point as Shipyard Phase 2 is on hold for remediation. And I'll talk about some of their scope of work in the near term a little bit later in the presentation. But just for some background, back in 2015, about 10 years ago, we began contracting with a consultant to provide these services. And we've been contracted with Hollins Consulting Inc. since 2019. In July, of course, we released an RFP, had a 45-day proposal period, and by the September 4th deadline, we received two proposals, one from Hollins Consulting, Inc., and another one from a team led by Azad Engineering. We assembled a... a task force and a panel, a review panel, consisting of four OCII staff and one member of the city's infrastructure task force, who we worked with closely for both phase one and Candlestick. After the interviews on September 24th, the selection panel ended up selecting Hollins Consulting. It was very tight. Very tight scoring. Ultimately, Hollins was selected for their experience across the city, their expertise in executing the scope of work, and their overall cost and staff efficiency. In terms of the scope of work, what we have on the screen is sort of the general scope of work. However, in the near term for Hunters Point Shipyard Phase 1, we expect Hollins to continue working with the developer and the city's infrastructure task force for acceptance of infrastructure and utilities built by Lennar, as well as conveyance of constructed parks to the city, which is a process that is currently underway, and we anticipate by sometime next year to officially complete the process in conveying the parks constructed at the hilltop subarea over to Wrexham Park. For Candlestick, they're going to continue working with the city and the infrastructure task force and the developer on review of permit and plan sets as we move towards the next phase of Candlestick. And we anticipate that work to be complete by sometime next year. Most of the work that Hollins will be performing will be front loaded in the first year. So in 2026, as they handle these items on phase one in Candlestick. And then we expect their work to sort of dwindle down in 2027 and 2028, unless anything happens that requires an increase in work or work to pick back up. But for now, we anticipate a lot of the work to happen in 2026 as we move towards construction in Candlestick and close out of the Hilltop sub area. And then in the future, if within the contract area, Candlestick Phases 3 and Phase 4 do come online, they will support in that effort as well. So we are recommending that the commission approve and authorize a contract for three years, $1.3 million to Hollins Consulting, Inc., with the option of three one-year extensions at the discretion of the executive director. And with that, happy to answer any questions.

Thank you. Madam Secretary? Do we have anyone from the public who wishes to provide a comment, question, or concern?

At this time, we're inviting members of the public who wishes to provide a public comment on item 5B to call 415-655-0001, enter access code 26634854565, followed by the pound sign and then the pound sign again to enter the call. Then press star 3 to be placed in the queue. If you are already listening to us and would like to provide a public comment, please press star 3. And we'll begin by inviting members of the public here in person. If you would like to provide a comment on item 5B, you may come up to the podium at this time. Seeing none, moving over to our remote callers. Again, if there are any callers or members who joined on WebEx, if you'd like to provide a public comment, please press star 3 to virtually raise your hand. Seeing none, Madam Chair, it does not appear we have any members of the public wishing to comment on this item.

Hearing no further requests to speak on the item, I will close the public comment and turn now to my fellow commissioners for their comments, questions, or concerns. Commissioners? I'll need a motion for item 5B.

I'll make a motion for item 5B.

May I get a second? I'll second. Madam Secretary, please take roll.

Motion by Commissioner Aquino, seconded by Commissioner Shaddix. Commission members, please announce your vote when I call your name. Commissioner Lim is absent. Commissioner Miller?

Yes.

Commissioner Shaddix?

Yes.

Vice Chair Aquino? Yes. And Chair Scott? Aye. Madam Chair, the vote is four ayes, one absent.

Motion carries. Madam Secretary, please call the next item.

Next is item number 5C, approving preliminary and final official statements, a continuing disclosure certificate, and other related documents and actions for new money tax allocation bonds previously approved by the successor agency commission. The Oversight Board and Department of Finance and permitted under Section 34177.7A1A of the California Health and Safety Code to finance affordable housing obligations. Discussion and action. Resolution number 27-2025. Director Koslowski. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Secretary, commissioners, members of the public. This item is to provide a final approval from this commission for affordable housing bonds and issuance of tax allocation bonds. And this requires an approval by the commission, which had provided a previous approval in July, as well as our oversight board, as well as the State Department of Finance and the Board of Supervisors. Those approvals have all been received, and this is the final approval before we go to market in July. Again, these bonds are for affordable housing projects in Mission Bay and Candlestick Point. And to present this item is Nick Jones, OCII's debt manager. Jim, I mean Nick, excuse me.

Thank you, Director Kieslowski. Good afternoon, Commissioners, Chair Scott. I'm Nick Jones, Debt Manager at OCII, and I'll be presenting on the 2025C Affordable Housing Bonds item. So OCII has the legal authority to issue tax allocation bonds to fund enforceable obligations. In this case, the enforceable obligation being funded is OCII's affordable housing obligation of 4,334 units. Of this number, as you can see on the slide, we currently have 330 units in construction and 662 in pre-development. And the proposed 2025C bonds would provide funding for additional affordable housing units that we'll discuss in more detail on later slides. The enabling legal authority at the state level for us to issue these third lien tax allocation bonds is California Health and Safety Code section 34177.7 subsections A1A. So the purpose of the bonds will be to fund affordable housing units in various project areas. The primary funding amount is going to be for a project in the Mission Bay South area called Block 4 East. Phase A or Phase 1. It's 165 units, and these bonds will fund both pre-development and a gap loan to provide the needed funds for that project in addition to the other sources coming in from other entities. We'll also provide a smaller amount of funding for pre-development for a project in Candlestick Point called Block 11A. And in total, the funding amount will go towards the construction of 341 affordable housing units. Now, you may recall from the prior approval in July that we also contemplated a bond issuance under the same lien, the third lien, to fund the Under Ramp Park project in the Transbay project area. Since that time, and we gave an update to the Oversight Board as well when we sought their approval, the Under Ramp Park project is currently delayed. And the project site requires some amount of remediation. So further environmental investigation is needed before a new schedule for issuing bonds to fund that project can be produced. So at this time, no additional bonds will be issued to fund that project. Just to kind of refresh folks' memory and talk about the approval process that we've been through, and Thor touched on this a bit. In April, the Commission approved OCII's fiscal year 25-26 budget, which included this proposed issuance of bonds and the expenditure of bond proceeds on these affordable housing projects. In mid-July, the Board of Supervisors also approved OCII's budget and the issuance of these bonds. And in the same day, actually, Commission conditionally authorized, subject to State Department of Finance approval, the issuance of these bonds and certain primary bond documents. Oversight Board approval was received in early August, and the Department of Finance completed their review and approved the bond issuance on October 1st. This is a illustration of the sources and uses for the bonds. So we'll be issuing approximately $110 million in bonds. And you can see the project fund, which will go to fund those two housing projects we showed on the prior slide, will be $97.8 million. The other line items are essentially costs and funds that need to be funded in order to make the bonds saleable to investors in the market, the largest of which is a debt service reserve fund. And then there's cost of issuance to pay the consultants for preparing the documents and for financial advice, legal advice. And then the underwriter's discount, which is the underwriter's compensation for marketing and selling bonds to investors. And we do have members of our financing team both in the audience here and virtually if there are any questions for them. So the proposed action before you today is to approve the preliminary official statement, which will become the final official statement once we have all the final numbers from selling the bonds to investors, such as the interest rate and bond prices, and a continuing disclosure certificate. which is a federal securities mandated contract between the issuer, OCII, and the underwriter, which is Stifel, and we have a representative of Stifel here in the audience, setting forth the information that the issuer is obligated to disclose to the market as long as the bonds are outstanding. So we disclose financial information annually or if there are certain events we're required to disclose for all of our bonds that are outstanding. The other proposed action is to approve OCI's selection of the underwriters who will market and sell the bonds to investors. So OCI used an RFP process issued to the city of San Francisco underwriting panel of pre-approved underwriters. We received five responses. We evaluated the responses and scored them using a selection panel. And we've selected Stiefel as lead underwriter, and Tom Jacob from Stiefel is here in the audience today. And we also have co-managers to expand the pool of investors we can reach with the bond sale. And we've selected Morgan Stanley and Piper Sandler for those roles. So as Director Keselowski mentioned, this is the final approval step needed before we can sell the bonds and close and receive the bond funds to fund the projects. Anticipating timing for that is in December, we will go out to the market, sell the bonds, lock the interest rates and bond prices in. And then two to four weeks thereafter, all of the bond legal documents will be signed, the bonds will be executed, and we will receive the project funds, which will then be used to further the funding of the affordable housing projects. So that completes the presentation.

Thank you. Madam Secretary, do we have anyone from the public who wishes to provide a comment, question, or concern?

If there are any members of the public who wish to provide comment on item 5C, please call 415-655-0001, enter access code 26634854565, followed by the pound sign and the pound sign again to enter the call. Please press star, then 3 to be placed in the queue. If you're already listening to us by phone, please press star 3 if you would like to provide a comment. And at this moment, we'd like to invite members of the public in person. If you would like to provide a comment on item 5C, you may come up to the podium at this time. Seeing none, moving over to our remote callers. If there are any callers who would like to provide a comment, please press star 3. Madam Chair, it does not appear we have any members of the public wishing to comment on this item.

Thank you, Madam Secretary. Hearing no further requests to speak on the item, I will close public comment and turn now to my fellow commissioners for their comments and questions or any concerns. Commissioner Miller.

Thank you, Nick. What's the current market for our bond sales?

Yeah, the market, especially for our bonds, which are tax exempt bonds, so they're tax exempt at the state and federal level, is still very strong. There have been some recent decreases in interest rates. And so that bodes well for the ability to sell bonds at a good interest rate.

I'm going to ask you this one fast question, and this is the final vote on these bonds, right? I mean, this is it, and then they go to market. That's correct. Okay. Yes. Thank you.

Commissioners, if there are no further questions, comments, or concerns, I'll need a motion for Item 5C.

I move approval of the bond skills.

May I get a second?

I'll second that motion.

Thank you. Madam Secretary, please take roll.

Motion made by Commissioner Miller, seconded by Commissioner Aquino. Commission members, please announce your vote when I call your name. Commissioner Lim is absent. Commissioner Miller? Yes. Commissioner Shattuck?

Yes.

Vice Chair Aquino? Yes. And Chair Scott? Aye. Madam Chair, the vote is four ayes, one absent.

Motion carries. Madam Secretary, please call the next item.

Discussion and action resolution number 34-2025. Director Koslovsky.

Thank you, Madam Secretary. Commissioners, members of the public, this item, seven items altogether, items 5D as in David and J as in Joker, I guess. I don't know. What's the Army nomenclature? are related to the development of an affordable housing site in Mission Bay, what we call Block 4 East. It's at the intersection of Third Street and China Basin Street, as well as Mission Rock Street, which is just across the street from Mission Rock, the development. These items are going to be presented together, but be acted on separately. All seven will take separate votes. This is a major milestone in the Mission Bay affordable housing program. It includes a lot of different approvals, a design approval, amendments to the major phase, which was approved previously in the past, the design for development, the owner participation agreement with Fossil, the developer for the area. the redevelopment plan, and approval of the report to the board, which is a document that goes to the Board of Supervisors and to the Planning Commission. Mission Bay 4 East is one of the last affordable housing sites, in addition to 12 West in Mission Bay. And this will complete the affordable housing program in that area. And the area is one of the city's most vibrant neighborhoods. And the journey to this site with this team started in 2023 when the Commission authorized the release of the request for qualifications that solicited a developer for this project. And then in early 2024, the Commission received recommendation to select the team that we have here, and I want to acknowledge them here in the audience as well. Curtis Development with Charmaine Curtis. Charmaine, would you mind standing or something? Yeah. Thank you, Charmaine. As well as Bayview Senior Services, Kathy Davis. Kathy, would you mind letting me? Yeah. Thank you. And the design team of YA Studios with Yaku Askew. Would you mind standing? And I believe Steve Perry is here from Perry Studios. Thank you, Steve. And Jennifer Wood from Jon Stewart for the property manager part of it. Thank you, Jennifer. So since 2024, the team really created a stunning design. I'm really impressed with it. It's containing nearly 400 units of affordable housing across two buildings and two projects. The folks who will get a chance to live here, the residents, will be earning anywhere between 30% of area median income. all the way up to 95%. So we have a wide spectrum of availability of affordable housing opportunities for folks. We also have larger family units. Up to five bedrooms will be in the site. The project includes many amenity spaces, like an outdoor terrace, multipurpose rooms, laundry facilities on several floors, so no one is very far from a laundry facility. multiple rooftop open spaces, and a very family-friendly layout. The design in the buildings presents a really handsome, cohesive facade that's highly articulated and draws interest to the surface, and it has a distinctive crown element that enhances the skyline, and we think in a very bold way. Philip Wong, development specialist with OCII, will present this project, and then YAE Studios, I believe, Yaku, will present the design in detail, and then we'll take questions. Phillip, thank you.

Thank you, Director Kozlowski. Good afternoon, Chair Dr. Scott, Vice Chair Aquino, Commissioner Miller, and Commissioner Shaddix. I'm Phillip Wong, Development Specialist with OCI Housing. Before I begin, I'd like to offer a land acknowledgment that our collective work takes place on unceded Ramaytush Ohlone land, and we recognize their continuous connection to culture, community, and country. As Director Kozlowski noted, I'm joined here with our wonderful development team and OCII staff to present the basic concept and schematic design and the proposed planned document amendments needed to advance Mission Bay South Block 4 East Phases 1 and 2. So this slide is an overview of the seven resolutions, but I'll go into a bit more detail in later slides. Thank you again, Director Kozlowski, for the wonderful background. The Mission Bay South project area was created in 1998 to expand affordable housing and to address blight. Of the 1,218 affordable units allowed under the owner patient agreement for Mission Bay South, which I'll here to refer to as the OPA. 1,053 are complete and the final 165 will be constructed with phase one. One of the actions before you today is to amend the OPA to increase the number of affordable units to accommodate additional affordable units at phase two. The financing of the Phase 2 project through Senate Bill 593, as discussed in previous Commission meetings, provides an opportunity to maximize and prioritize affordable housing replacement units as required by that legislation, while implementing the build-out and completion of properties in our existing project areas so that OCI can wind down and close out our project areas. And again, as Director Kozlowski mentioned, Block 4 East was most recently heard by this commission in fall 2024 with the approval of the exclusive negotiations agreement and the pre-development loan agreement, after which this development team has been quite hard at work So Block 4 East, again, is one of the two remaining affordable housing sites in Mission Bay, the other being Block 12 West. Recently completed developments include Block 9A, which was developed by our very own Curtis Development, in addition to Michael Simmons Property Development. We also have the Mission Bay School, which is opening next year, and Bayfront Park. The site is surrounded by other major projects, including Mission Rock, the California College of the Arts expansion, Flower Mart, the Caltrain Rail Yards, Pier 70, and Potrero Power Station. These projects collectively add housing, cultural space, parks, and office space. So again, another slide that goes over the development team, who you met, led by Charmaine Curtis and Curtis Development, Bayview Senior Services, represented here by Kathy Davis, and her team, our co-developer and services provider. John Stewart Company will be providing property management services. Hawaii Studio is the lead architect. Perry Architects is the associate architect. GLS is going to be providing the landscape architecture. And Swinderton Rubicon Joint Venture is the general contractor. This is a slide that goes over the development program. Overall, the project will be providing 398 units, of which 80 units will be set aside for families experiencing homelessness. And that will be subsidized by the city's local operating subsidy program. 4 East will serve a range of income levels to accommodate our priority certificate of preference holders. The unit mix is roughly 25% one bedroom, 50% two bedroom, 25% three bedrooms. And as noted for phase two, the project is providing five four bedroom units and two five bedroom units. And phase one also includes a modestly sized 1,253 square foot community serving commercial space and will preliminarily have a youth or senior service focus. And the project is also providing 88 vehicle parking spaces across the two projects and 264 secured class one bicycle spaces. 4 East is a transit-oriented development. It's within a 15-minute walking proximity to transit and amenities. That includes local and regional transit. Again, the new Mission Bay School, which is opening next year, Mission Bay Parks, and tremendous amount of amenities and retail. And this is a detailed slide on the proposed plan document amendments to advance phase one and phase two. We're proposing amendments to the redevelopment plan, the OPA, and design for development. That will include increasing allowable affordable units by 250 for phase two. increasing the maximum tower height to allow for a 225-foot tower in Phase 2, exempting the street wall height restriction on Mission Walk Street and China Basin Street, reducing the minimum tower separation from 125 feet to 118 feet, and then updating the major phase for Blocks 2 through 7 and 13. This slide goes over the environmental review for the project. OCI initiated CEQA review in 2023 after this commission approved a contract with ICF. In January of 2024, Assembly Bill 1449 went into effect, which exempts 100% affordable housing projects from CEQA, including those with plan amendments. So based off the exemption criteria on this slide, OCI confirms that Block IV East is exempt from CEQA. So with that, I'm going to turn it over to our wonderful architects, Yaku Askew of YA Studio and Steve Perry of Perry Architects, to take us through the design overview.

Good afternoon, commissioners. Yaku Askew with YA Studio. I'm actually going to walk through the first half of the design slides, and I'm going to invite Steve Perry from Perry Architects to walk through the second half. On this side. So just to give you some oversight, again, we've talked about this, the context. It's really a rich neighborhood in terms of the amenities that are surrounded by it. We have to the north the Mission Rock development, which starts actually kitty-corner to this site, and then to the south, of course, Chase Center and the rest of the development. This is a site plan of the overall development. We really wanted to focus on activating the pedestrian experience. So a lot of the sort of active spaces are along Third Street, really hoping to enhance and have a positive impact on the community and neighborhood. These are those streets experience renderings, really sort of reinforcing that. So a view of both Parcel Phase 1 and Phase 2. Again, a really strong focus on activating the corners, activating Third Street, and really hoping to entice people to experience this neighborhood in a wonderful way. These are some images showing some of the design intent that we looked at, really wanting to look at ideas of pattern making, textures, really rich colors, something that can really kind of reflect some of the history about the site, but also activate the buildings in a very positive way, looking at different textures and colors and pattern making. This is an image of phase one. This is the south parcel. This is an image of looking from the southeast up to the site. You see phase two beyond it. Again, this idea of rich color, texture, looking at different materials. I'm going to go into the next slide, which really points out some of those materials. We're looking at using a thin precast concrete material, which is very durable. It's going to hold that color really well. It allows us to go with a couple of different finishes and textures, again, adding a lot of richness to the overall experience of this building within the neighborhood. I'm going to walk through the plans quickly. One thing to note is, again, we really focused on activating the street edges. The parking is inboard of the site, really hidden away from pedestrian experience. We really took a lot of care to think about trash management within the building. So we do have some staging areas adjacent to the loading dock to allow the trash to be staged there, hoping to mitigate any disruption to the pedestrian experience. Yeah. And on the second level, we have a lot of services for the building. And I'm going to pass it over to Steve to talk through phase two.

Hi. Good afternoon. Steve Perry. I just want to talk about the Northern Tower. And our initial intent was to have two building phases and two expressions. And so our first thing we did with the North Tower is to create a tonal shift. and go to a lighter, more reflective materiality. This also contrasts the southern tower, which gives us a nice, vibrant composition on the block. We also introduced a geometry that has a distinctively vertical expression and creates a nice dialogue, once again, with the horizontal nature of the southern block. And then for the modulation, we have recesses at both Third Street and Mission Rock that defined a more slender proportion at the corner. And this is counterbalanced with a strong horizontal proportion going along Mission Rock. Then we accentuate the verticality and the top of the building once again with a with a crown form and this allows light to pass through and it also frames the sky. The orientation of the fenestration once again is based on this kind of woven fabric idea and we do that with these subtle shifts in the skin. and also with with perforated panels or with with staggered panels and then also using different coloration for the highlights of the panel and then Going to the ground floor once again just trying to activate the ground floor having the entrance at the corner having the bike parking exposed to 3rd Street and And then we will develop further some of these ideas at the corner and at the crown. So that will be something that we develop further. And then once again, talking about the amenity spaces, these are organized around outdoor spaces, which really activates these and creates nice views at the top and then creates more of a social interaction at the lower levels. And this is... This is an evening shot with a subtle lighting at the crown right now, but that will be further developed. And so this is a fly-through we have, and it's starting at Mission Rock. And it's progressing south down Third Street. And this is phase two, the taller tower. And then here you can see the amenity spaces and the landscape terraces on the 10th floor. Coming around to the southern face of the building, China Basin, and then the western frontage of the building. with an open courtyard allowing afternoon sun into the living spaces. Coming down to the streets, the lobby at the North Tower. You can see how this engages the street. Canopies at the entries. And then we have bike parking expressed on the exterior. Retail. And then finally, the lobby for the Southern Tower. Up on the third floor terrace, this is closer to the Southern. And then up on the 10th floor terrace, looking at the Southern Tower once again. Thank you, Phillip. And then going to our view corridor analysis, you can see here this is Potrero Hill. And the images on the left are without our development. And the images on the right show our development. Then Mission Bay, North Plaza, Third Street looking north. in 4th Street at Townsend. And I'll pass it back to Philip.

Thanks, Yaku. Thanks, Steve. So this is our last slide, and we're just going to do a schedule overview. Following this hearing, we anticipate returning to commission in December or January for financing actions. Very exciting. While concurrently seeking approvals from other review bodies for the redevelopment plan amendment and the PA amendment, phase one anticipates applying for financing next year, 2026, and they have a goal of starting construction at the beginning of 2027. And then for phase two, they're going to pursue financing in 2027. They're going to stagger it about a year with the goal of starting construction in early 2028. And that concludes our presentation. And the development team and OCI staff are here for any questions or comments you may have.

Thank you. Thank you, Philip Wong, for this detailed presentation. And thank you to Philip as well as Yaku and Perry. Thank you, gentlemen. I'm excited about that. Madam Secretary, do you have anyone from the public who wishes to provide any questions, any comments, or concerns?

At this time, we'd like to invite members of the public who wishes to provide comments on items 5D through J to please call 415-655-0001, enter access code 2663485, 4565 followed by the pound sign, and then the pound sign again to enter the call. Then press star 3 to be placed in the queue. An automated voice will let you know when it is your turn. If you called us by phone and you're already listening, please press star 3 if you'd like to provide a public comment. And we'll begin by inviting members of the public here in person, starting with Mr. Demetrius Williams.

We do have cards to be filled out, if you would. Go ahead.

Good afternoon, commissioners. My name is Demetrius Williams. I'm the president of the San Francisco Hyperlocal Building Trades Contractors Collective. We meet every Tuesday, 8 AM, 1550 Evans on the second floor. We have met several times discussing this project at 4E. It is disheartening to know that we have a project that's going on that's not going to include the community. It's definitely not including the community contractors. We already know OCII is supposed to have inclusion with community contractors and helping facilitate and build this community. So when we talk about affordable, Yet we have yet to hear a number of affordable. What is the exact number for people to be able to afford a place to live, let alone for us to build? If we can't build it, how are we going to afford to live in it? We sit up here, and I'm not against the project going forward. It's a great structure being built. It's a needed structure to be built. But at the same time, how can the community, the city residents of San Francisco afford to live in something that they can't build? We outsourcing the resources that should be involved in the community and keep it in the community. If we build it, we can maintenance it. If we maintenance it, we keep it alive. But if we not include it, we exclude it. And out there goes the resources again. I have met with the developer. I've met with the general contractor that's supposed to be on it. And we're still excluded. So we're supposed to come over here and be silent. It is not OK by the community to allow this to continue to happen and sit by in silence and not be heard. I've reached out several times. I've met. We've met. We continue to meet. The collective is here. Collective, by a show of hands, how many of you guys got a contract on this job?

Yeah, nobody. Probably raised their hand.

That's disheartening. And it's super sad to know that we're here saying that we want to see something grow, but we ain't included. Thank you.

SHANDI PATEL.

Hi, my name is Chandlee Patel. First and foremost, I want to express my support for affordable housing. I live in Mission Bay, and I love it. I've lived in the city for the last six years, and Mission Bay is truly home. I want to also express some strong concerns regarding the proposed amendments for 250 additional dwelling units and a 90-foot increase for the new Mission Bay development. from the previously acceptable limits. These amendments represent a dramatic change in the scale that will significantly affect the neighborhood in several ways. I want to start with the safety concerns. The San Francisco Police Department is already stretched pretty thin. There's talk of redistricting into including other parts of the city, not just Mission Bay. And I want to just talk about the building that we, Mission Bay, have right now, Home Rise. Home Rise is 141 units. We live right next to Home Rise. In the first year of Home Rise, residents, like in my building, my neighbors, there were over 1,000 service calls, over 600 police reports. And of those 350 police reports, they were priority A, which means immediate threat to life or substantial risk of major property loss or damage. For one 140-unit building to produce that much volume of high priority public safety calls, I'm very concerned about 398 units being built. Additionally, for the height of an additional 90 feet from 160 feet, when homeowners bought into Mission Bay, we were told that this was the limit. To be now in 2025, To be essentially asked to go along with an additional 90-foot increase to a new building, this substantial deviation undermines prior agreements and expectations that shaped long-term home ownership decisions in Mission Bay before 2025. Such a height increase risks setting a precedent for future projects to disregard established guidelines. And then the last one that I'm most concerned about, and I know this is going to come up again and again, but a taller building of this magnitude inevitably brings more residents and impacts already limited resources in set time.

You have 30 seconds.

OK. Our sidewalks in Mission Bay. People can trip easily. Additionally, just if you look at the sinking surrounding areas, it's unfair to continue to build into the ground such a massive structure that can further damage the surrounding units. So again, I'm in support of affordable housing as long as we can stick to the agreed upon rules from earlier Thank you.

Thank you. Samantha Thrower.

Thank you, good afternoon Commissioners and thanks for the opportunity to speak. I too am a resident of Mission Bay and I actually come from affordable housing, a similar situation back in the UK, so I fully support what you're doing here. I really do speak to a place where I want families to thrive as well as the opportunity of a great neighbourhood. I do see that there's some serious environmental and geotechnical, legal and density impact concerns that I have with the plan and the extension of the height that we're talking about today. Mission Bay is actually built on artificial fill with high groundwater and there's soil subsidence. We live with the consequences of this every day. The sidewalks are actually sinking, there's pavement separation, drainage failures, and it's unsafe for pedestrians. We've had some people fall over, people get quite hurt. We're not talking a little gap, we're going about half a foot now. There are actually some legal cases ongoing. with the impacts and what's happening. What I'm really surprised to see is that within this planning, for something that's got a good impact with community, there hasn't been consideration on the environmental. There hasn't been an up-to-date geo survey, ground water study upon what happens to the next blocks. What happens to the sidewalks that there'll be kids and families in soon? And we've got old people in our block. Why isn't that done first before we've got people asking for permission to go 90 foot higher on a very small lot? This lot is incredibly small, and it's going to be very, very high. That's going to have an impact. And I'd like to have that information shared with the community. Because if we want this to be vibrant, And we want it to stand as it could, a big flag bearer of what can be done. This is not the way to go about it. There's already been records of us building, passing planning permissions, and then dealing with why, what happened afterwards. So all I'm saying to you commissioners is could we get this information? Can we really look at building something that would be sustainable, fantastic for the whole of Mission Bay and actually San Francisco? Thank you for your time.

Thank you. Daniel Atler.

Thank you. Good afternoon, commissioners. I'm Daniel Atler, also a resident of Mission Bay Area. I also am in favor of affordable housing for the Mission Bay area. I think it adds a lot of vibrancy to the whole community, and I've enjoyed it quite a bit. My concern has to deal with adding additional height to the whole area. It's a variance to what I understood when I bought into Mission Bay and became a citizen of Mission Bay of what the height expectations would be. There's six remaining projects on Mission Rock that haven't even started yet for residential housing. And I don't know what the impact of those six projects are going to be on the whole neighborhood, plus this additional one. And I think this is 400 units. There's probably 800, 900 units for Mission Rock that are set to be built. So has anybody looked at the differences of what Mission Rock is going to do to this project? And then last, she talked about the neighborhood. Please, please, before you vote for this, walk the neighborhood. Understand what the street conditions are. what the pavements are. I mean, everywhere you walk, everything is marked. There seems to be some core problem. The buildings are fine. They appear to be fine. But everywhere around the sidewalks, they're sinking. And it would really be good to understand what this is and at least have a plan for this building, how to make sure these sidewalks don't sink with the rest of the other buildings. And with this additional congestion this adds to the area, plus the additional congestion, the six more residential projects that are already approved in Mission Rock that have yet to be built, I'd like to have that full study understood. I appreciate your time. Thank you. Thank you, sir.

Janice Smith.

Good afternoon, commissioners. My name is Janice Smith. I'm a resident of Baby Hunters Point. I was just observing and listening to everything about these affordable housing. Have anyone thought about low income housing? A lot of people at low income won't be able to even live in this beautiful place that they're going to build. So that affordable is misleading because everyone can't afford affordable housing. Also, correct me if I'm wrong, since the Chase Center came, that was 94124 District 10. But when all this other stuff built down there, they removed that zip code, right? Tell me if I'm right. I don't know if I'm right or wrong. And are the community contractors going to be involved in building these things? We're right here in our community. Like you say, not one of them have a contract to help build. Two women names that I'm going to mention may be upset with me, but I don't care because it seems like they don't care about us. And as I said before, my name is Janice Smith. I'm going to be like Ruth Williams. Remember my name. Jon Stewart, they're involved in this, in the way they're treating Alice Griffin. You guys need to take a walk down there and see how those residents are being treated. by Jon Stewart. And I'm going to bring out something. No, she really didn't think I was going to say her name. Miss Kathy Davis, go check out her center down there on Carroll Street. I have family members that live down there, the way they are being treated down there. Remember my name, Janice Smith. Dr. Scott knows me. Thank you for your time. Oh, and also related, up on the hill, thank you for your time. Thank you, Miss Smith.

Aranda Sterling.

Good afternoon, commissioners, public. My name is Orande Sterling, member of the San Francisco Hyperlocal Bidding and Trades Contractors Collective, and also the vice president of the Bayview Hunters Point Coordinating Council. I'm here as a contractor and a community advocate just to make sure that, you know, this project, nobody's against the project, but again, to follow up with President Demetrius' saying and Sister Janice, there needs to be transparency. There needs to be, they need to make sure that the developer, Charmaine, Curtis Development, Kathy Davis, You guys are reaching out to the contractors, the community contractors, because we are the ones that can build. We are the ones that can maintain it. We are the ones that can put the community to work, OCII. You guys should be implementing the simple fact that they should be reaching out to the community contractors and the developers. Because we are the ones that are going to make sure that it gets built right. And again, the community gets put to work. We keep doing a lot of asking. We keep doing a lot of begging. And we keep getting passed by. We tired of it. We are starting to demand work. We are starting to demand that these developers and these contractors look at us and utilize us. We are overqualified. And I know that a lot of talk of saying that since we're small businesses that we're unqualified and we don't have the paperwork, but we got everything we need to have to make this a success story. We're overqualified for these projects that are coming down the pipeline. We just need to do better as a community, especially being that OCII is for the community. And there's requirements that state that these developers and these contractors need to utilize community contractors. So this is just something to think about. And I definitely agree with what Sister Janet said about going to check Alice Griffith and going to check these apartments, these complexes that is uninhabitable living conditions that our people are living in. And there shouldn't be a blind eye turned to this. You know, it's disgusting and it's sickening. And, you know, you may ding me for it or blackball me for it or whatever you may want to do, but I'm speaking for truth and I'm speaking for my people. So you all may want to go take a look and go walk down there and see what it's looking like down there because all they're doing is coming out, getting this money, and going back to wherever they're coming from. You know what I mean? So if that is happening, why don't you make sure that we are the ones that's going to maintain where we are living at? Because nobody else is going to take care of us like we are. Thank you.

Thank you.

Can I please leave this with you guys? This is related how they're moving residents back in, missing windows, broken locks. They're not painting the apartments. They're using primer, so we can't wash our walls. Thank you, Ms. Smith.

We'll pass it. Are there any other members of the public who would like to come up to the podium at this time? Sure.

Thank you, Mr. Sterling and Ms. Smith.

Were you providing a comment for this item? Okay, come on up, please.

My name is Raymond. I live at Mission Plaza Apartments at 16th and Mission. And two Wednesdays ago, on November 5th, BART called for a community meeting to talk about the BART plazas. My response was, it's not cognizable to me to talk about the plaza unless we talk about the real estate that surrounds it. And we discovered a couple of things that need to be improved. We found that we had been excluded, that decisions were made, and those projects were finalized in January 2024. But I came up here to make compliments And I think you should look at sidewalks that are sinking. How easy is it to offset a problem by being cognizantly aware of it before you begin? Whatever gets built there is going to be there for a long time. and employment. I'm not going to leave the podium without speaking about including local folks in your construction. Isn't there a percentage of the jobs that are going to be given out going to go to local people? Gee whiz. But we found that one of the boundaries to the Northeast BART Plaza there at 16th and Mission is going to be a solid cement wall. You know, you will not be able to walk from the plaza into a pavilion and have an experience there that you're going to keep with you for the rest of your life. That's not going to happen. You're going to stand there and stare at a wall as high as the one we're surrounded by. Solid stucco. And when I saw the presentations from Jakub, And I saw that they had made accommodations of exactly the kind of architectural details that I'm speaking up for, that us neighbors at 16th and Mission are talking about. They made an accommodation with their building. It comes down not all the way to the standard height of a retail store. That before you get down that far, they stopped up about 15 feet and did some architectural things that provided relief there. Below that, lower than that, there's some kind of retail space. There's a courtyard between the two towers. And the way the buildings in the courtyard flow into each other is wonderful. We saw photographs coming up Third Street with the different kinds of space that are happening there. We don't have a canyon. We don't have a Manhattan Canyon come right on down to the property line. There's some relief there. And I just want to salute you and thank you for including those architectural details in what you did. And to see the local organizations.

Thank you, Mr. Raymond. Thank you so much. Any other members of the public? Seeing none, moving over to our remote callers. We do have some callers, Madam Chair. Go ahead and call on the first one. Excuse me. Hello. Go ahead.

Can you hear me?

Yes.

Okay. How are you all doing OCII and everyone in the building? My name is Mr. Dennis Williams. I'm a local micro minority developer. I just don't understand why the contractors are still being excluded after we've been on this project planning for several years now, as well as myself. My firm would not stand for sinking buildings and sidewalks. That don't happen with local hire. It instills pride in the work that's being done when you do so. And I've asked numerous times for OCII to facilitate a meeting between D.C. Williams Development Company and the prime developer to no avail. I know Ms. Cathy Davis, as well as Charmaine, and there is space for microdevelopment participation. Can you guys develop a pilot agreement? I've identified components suitable for microdevelopers participation. Microdevelopers are essential to real equity in San Francisco. I'm also part of a coalition. SF Hyperlocal Contractors Collective, churches as Third Baptist and others, and Bethel, AME, and community leaders. I can assure local contractors are hired and workforce development is seamless. There's no reason why Demetrius Williams is a skilled, one of our best renowned plumbers. Sterling Framers is one of our best up-and-coming framers, and they're not on this project. It doesn't make any sense. OCII's mandate includes equity and ownership and development participation, not only LBE contracting. The LBE part should be seamless. Opposition relates to development not competing for subcontracting scopes. Strong working relationships with community leadership. This aligns with good partnerships. My request for action is to establish a microdeveloper participation policy across OCII projects because it's missing. And we've said this for years and the community stands and backs it. Formal role under inclusion of joint venture provisions and access to community benefits agreements is what I've asked for in the past, both in person, over the phone, and in others. I appreciate Mr. Thor and Dr. Scott and others for their diligence in our work, but at the same time, we can't keep missing these steps. And I truly hope that on this project, as we're two years away, Yeah, almost two years away or a year away. That we can get some of this stuff in and make this project a true success for not only the people that will be living there that might not be from San Francisco, but for the builders and the residents of San Francisco. Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Williams.

There's one more caller. Hi, I saw your hand up earlier. I don't know if I inadvertently put it down, but did you still want to provide a public comment? You may go ahead. Are you there? OK. OK. Just give one second, maybe a technical difficulty. Are you there? OK. Sorry, we can't hear you. OK, Madam Chair, it does not appear we have any other members of the public wishing to comment on this item. Or these items, excuse me.

And we can't hear the person that's trying to. Let me try again. There is someone here in person.

OK, give me one second. Let me try again. They raised their hand again. Hello?

Are they muted?

No, I unmuted. It's not coming through. Yeah, sorry. Take this down again. Come on up, please. Thank you.

State your name.

Hi, my name is Linda.

Can you use the mic, please?

Yes. I'm a little nervous right now. I'm not a public speaker, but I'm going to give it my all. Welcome. But anyway, my name is Linda, and I'm from Mission Bay. And I live in the Madron as well. And I was just wondering about, you know, and of course, we all want affordable housing for people. We don't want anybody to be left out. But we also want to have the neighborhood look clean. And with the height of the buildings, and you don't want it to go . It's not Salesforce. So with that being said, that's my main concern. And also, I'm going to talk a little bit about a little bit of history, because I was born and raised in San Francisco. And so I do know the ins and outs. And I know that at one time, there was a project that was developed. similar to this. And it was the Geneva Towers, thank you, with good intentions. And we all want that. You always want to hear about the success. But nobody wants to talk about the amount of money and time and everything else that is going to maintain this. So that has to be taken into consideration. It's a great, great project. But if it can just blend in with everything and not look so out of place and just, and it has to be maintained. At some point, the maintenance on it is going to be astronomical. Things go up. But anyway, that's all I really wanted to say. Thank you. Thank you, Linda. Thank you.

Madam Chair, I'm going to go back to the caller again, give them another opportunity to speak. If not, I'll ask them to just send their message to the office. Oh, let me try again. Hello? Okay, we still can't hear you. We still don't have any audio. If you'd like to provide a comment, you can send it to our office or you could email it to me. It's commissionsecretary.ocii at sfgov.org. Sorry about that.

Madam Chair, it does not appear we have... Oh, okay, you can come up to the podium.

Thank you, Commissioner. You're welcome.

Good afternoon. Cheers. My name is Prince Dean. I'm a contractor from the Fillmore, lives in the Bayview. I just want to let this be heard, man. Right now, just in financial turmoil because of being excluded from so many projects in my city, in my community where I was born and raised, my children, man, are just being, you know, left out of things that they could be involved in because of my financial situation, not being heard, not being included. I'm a contractor, and I just want to be a part of it. Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you, sir.

Are there any other speakers for this item? Okay. Madam Chair, I think we're...

Hearing no further request to speak on the item, I'm closing public comment and turning now to my fellow commissioners for their comments, questions, and concerns. Commissioner Aquino?

Yes. Thank you, Chair Scott. Lots of emotions. Happy, you know, as a San Franciscan, excited to see this project. You probably cannot hide my emotions. I do get excited about projects because we are a world-class city. We are a city that continues to grow. And it's going to continue to grow. in the future, as we can see right now. I don't have a script, but I have a lot of questions. I don't even know where to begin. Bear with me, because my emotions are all over the place. You know, I ride my bike through the city. So I know the neighborhoods. I know the city very well. I know the streets. And I pay attention. I pay attention to a lot. And I hear the people in the Mission Bay. I hear people in the Fillmore. I hear people in the Bayview. So your concerns are my concerns because I'm also a citizen of San Francisco. But that was not part of my script. Like I said, my emotions are everywhere. I'm excited overall, but I'm also wanting to make sure our community leaders and people get heard. I guess I just want to start off. Bear with me. I don't have a script, as I said. I have a lot of notes that I wrote. First of all, about the building itself, it's great visual. The evening shot, I want to start there with that visual, is the money shot. The second money shot was the visual animation of the site. That's money shot number two. And I call that money shots because it really took us to the ground visually. Renderings are great. I'm excited about the project. Again, we're a world-class city. We're a growing city. These things do need to happen. And I guess one of my main questions was, top question is, tell me more about the window panes. With that height, are those windows going to open? For me, it's safety. I don't have kids, but I'm thinking of those who would live there who have little ones running around, animals, even adults are seniors as well, anyone. But just my concern is the windows, do they How do they open up? How wide? Sorry if I didn't see it. There's a lot to look at on this rendering, which are beautiful. But that was my number one concern is, can you tell me a little bit about those windows?

Thank you for the question, Vice Chair Aquino. Access to light and air is a very important thing for our residents. And I'd like, if I may, turn it to our architects to provide a description of which windows are operable. And I think to answer your question better, I'd like to turn it to them.

Thank you.

Thank you for the question, Commissioner. In general, for buildings of this size, when we get above four stories, we use what's called limiters on the operable windows. We are going to provide fresh air to all the units mechanically and with access to operable windows as well. Those limiters will prevent anything larger than four inches from going outside. So it's not a safety concern from what we can see across multiple high rise buildings built with the same technology.

Thank you for that. And those are double panes, right?

I believe so. I think we have some areas that may, well, it's under study with the Title 24 energy requirements, but in general, we're going to have at least double pane.

Thank you for that. I think that was it for that about the windows, I guess, because I don't live in a high rise. I live in a bottom unit with not a lot of sun. Anyhow, that's another story. But I love it. So I think the materials are great for the building. I love that there's the history here. of the site that you're going to keep alive. I think it's important to keep the integrity of that community, of the land, the space, and the environment. That's what we did in Dogpatch. I think it's important to keep, again, the integrity, the color, the history. Those things are very kind of a puzzle, right, to keep together the history of it. The other question was, will there be some kind of plaque, a map on the wall as to what Mission Bay and the area historic background was? Sorry, my notes are everywhere. Yeah, I think that one of the things to kind of keep that neighborhood alive, is there something like that being done?

Thanks, Vice Chair Aquino, for that question. We are working with tribal leaders on an acknowledgment plaque that will also be developed further and refined with the developers as we progress with the design.

That's great. Great to hear. And I love that you mentioned what land we're on as well. Yeah, it's important. I think, like I said, I'm all over the place. So sorry. You mentioned about bike parking on Third Street. And again, I didn't get to see it all here. Is that bike parking, is that going to be Can you tell me about it? It's locked up. I'm assuming it's a door you have to go through. So sorry, again, I didn't get to look at the details of it. I just heard the bike parking. And I guess, Mike, the reason I'm asking is because safety is those bikes get lost or broken into. It happens throughout our city, as it turns out. But how do we keep that area safe for the bikes?

Absolutely. There was a lot of discussion between OCII staff and the design team to make sure that on the Third Street frontage, we had a lot of storefront glass to create activation. And you saw that in some of the renderings and some of the plans where some of that secured bike parking is visible from Third Street. There is a specific ratio. We'd have to look at the details where the project needs to provide a specific number of secured class one bicycle parking spaces that will be behind closed door. It'll be, I'm looking to our development team, that will be accessible only by residents, correct? And yes, I think safety of personal property is paramount for this team. And that is a consideration that's been made, while also balancing this need to provide an active frontage on Third Street.

Thank you for that. Let's see. And I just want to say I do hear our neighbors in Mission Bay. I hear Demetrius in the Bayview. Everyone, I do hear you. I think, I don't know how we're going to fix the streets on Mission Bay. What's the update with that, like the You know The rising of it. I don't know executive director if you can help me with that and Bear with me here. I took a lot of notes And yeah, I think that's My only concern is that and I And any update on the environmental aspect of it in that area that Samantha, resident of Mission Bay, mentioned? I mean, I do walk down there. Again, I walk, I run, I ride my bike in all those communities. I have a Strava app, so you can really see the map. But just so I can let the members here in the city how important these issues are. Thank you. Madam Vice Chair? I have so many other things.

May I? I can answer one of the questions, and I'll turn it over to Philip on the geotech and groundwater questions that came up. The sidewalks are the responsibility of the adjacent property owners. To the extent there's any pavement imperfections or challenges with the pavement, those folks are responsible. The project developers will be responsible for the sidewalks adjacent to this site. The streets are owned by the city, are the responsibility of the city. And so any maintenance or repairs that need to be made are city responsibility. So that's how that works and that flows. So yeah, stuff that you see down in Mission Bay is either the adjacent property owner's responsibility or the streets if it's in the street where the asphalt is.

Thank you. I recall that now. Thank you so much.

If you don't mind, we can talk maybe after the item and we can hear more about what you want to say or submit something in writing, whatever you'd like. Thanks. Thank you. That's all I have. Thank you for that.

Just to add to Director Kozlofsky's points, the conditions in Mission Bay are very well known. Charmaine Curtis, with Curtis Development, built Block 9A and had those considerations in mind when constructing that building. And those same considerations are being made for Block 4 East. We know that there has been extensive geotechnical studies of the site and part of this pre-development due diligence that is required for any project, but especially one of this scale. And there is serious consideration. These concerns are not taken lightly, and we have a lot of controls in place through all of the regulations that govern this building being permitted and constructed that are top of mind for the development team.

I appreciate that. I think we all need to hear that I think just to It's and I know we have a lot of work to do and it's an ongoing so I get it You know, just thank you. Yeah.

Thank you Thank You chair Thank You Commissioner Shattucks

Thank you. And actually, I have a question for you. The building itself, both of them, they look great. And I like the mix of the colors you bring in. I've seen that also with the Mission Rock there where they're bringing in the green colors, the green hues. So I like how that looks from above and distant. The ground floor retail, did I miss something? Was there only one ground floor retail space on block one or building one or phase one and none for phase two?

Thanks for the question, Commissioner Shattucks. The solicitation, the request for qualifications was quite specific about the project considering a community serving commercial use because the zoning doesn't require a commercial space on Third Street because it's primarily a transit corridor. Not to say that there aren't wonderful amenities on Third Street. Most of that retail focus is on the Fourth Street corridor. So the team We really asked them in their response to the solicitation to consider, again, a community-serving use, and that is not necessarily retail. Right now, the consideration is for a youth or senior service focus, but that will develop as we, I think, as the project develops further.

OK. Chase is right there. The ballpark is right there. Giant's ballpark is there. And that's a lot of people that are going to be walking in that area. So I just thought there was opportunity, perhaps, for more retail. But one other quick thing, or two last things. One comment. I'm done. Thank you. I do also walk around the area. Any time we talk about projects, I make sure I walk in the area. upside down and backwards. And yeah, I know what you're talking about, about the sidewalk sinking. I've seen it and that's wild. I don't know what to say other than hopefully that sounds like it's being addressed or will be addressed. But the last thing I wanted to comment on, You know, it's incredibly hard for me. I'm kind of the rookie up here. And it's so hard for me to see and hear from my neighbors, people that I know, saying that they're not included on a project. That is really tough for me. And, again, I'm the new guy. I'm the rookie. So maybe there were conversations that were had that I'm not aware of. THAT I WOULD CERTAINLY LOVE TO BE AWARE OF, BUT I'M STRUGGLING WITH THIS ONLY BECAUSE I KNOW SOME FOLKS OUT THERE, AND I WOULD JUST, I COULDN'T EVEN IMAGINE WALKING DOWN THIRD STREET AND RUNNING INTO SOME OF THESE FOLKS KNOWING THAT THEY WEREN'T INCLUDED. SO I NEED A LITTLE HELP WITH THAT, AND I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S YOU, DIRECTOR KOSLOWSKI, OR IF THAT'S A SIDE BAR FOR ANOTHER DAY. I DON'T KNOW. BUT I JUST WANT TO FEEL A WHOLE LOT BETTER. knowing that, you know, local contractors are included. I know it's a discussion that goes on and on, especially at the Baby Hunters Point. And I live there as well as one-third in Oakdale. I think most of you have seen me around. I just want to feel good about it. That's all.

Thank you, Commissioner Shaddix. Yeah, of course. We all share the concerns about that. I think it would be good to put this project and this approval in context of time of construction. And there's a process of bidding. They had selected, they being Curtis Development and Bayview Senior Services, selected Swinerton Rubicon as a joint venture general contractor, and then there are subcontracts that would be let. Some of those things are out for negotiation, and I want to invite Maria Picot from our contract compliance team to talk about good faith efforts and what that means, and then at what stage this project in particular, in terms of construction and the design and the bidding, what stage those things are at.

Thank you. Thank you, Director Koslowski. Good afternoon, Chair Scott, General Counsel Morales, commissioners. My name is Maria Paco, and I'm a senior compliance specialist at OCI. And I just wanted to talk a bit about our SB program and also the good faith efforts that I've personally been a part of and witnessed on this project. Since the inception of this project, I've worked closely with the Curtis development team to give a little bit In terms of where we're at the project, most of the construction is going to go out to bid. It has not gone out to bid yet. Currently, 70% of the sub-trades are available for bid. We have completed the design development, as you've seen today, for that particular phase. 83% of phase 1 was actually awarded to SBs and 84% of phase 2. So for the design there was substantial small business participation, the majority of that being local. In terms of construction, as I mentioned, I work closely with Curtis Development. I would also invite them to speak a little bit more. However, The only work so far that's actually even gone out to bid is some early trades, MUPF, which is design builds. That's currently under negotiation, as Director Klaskowski stated. We are looking at substantial SB participation for those scopes, and the majority of that being LB. But again, those are under negotiation, so they have not been officially awarded yet. But with that said, 70% of the work is still available and has not gone out to bid. There are various opportunities available. for the local contracting community. I'd also like to talk about good faith efforts on the project, because understanding our SB program, it's a 50% good faith effort with first considerations for project area firms, followed by San Francisco-based firms, followed by all other small businesses that meet our size standards. In terms of the good faith effort being made on this project thus far, for the early work, the MEPF work that's gone out, there were two community meetings, one at Swinerton headquarters and the other at Southeast Community Center to match large and small contractors and just make the community aware about those opportunities. Swinerton also met their Swinerton Rubicon Joint Venture, who's the GC on the project, which actually includes a San Francisco SB as the JV partner, Rubicon. They met 24 times between the development team, the general contractor, their consultant. They met 24 times with different local SB contractors, with prime contractors, community stakeholders, different groups, as well as attended some of the meetings with the various affinity groups in furtherance of meeting those good faith efforts and creating opportunity on the project. There are more meetings that are planned in Q1 when the majority of the work begins to go out to bed. So I've talked closely with them about the schedule in Q1. They do plan to start with a 50% DD. That's what's anticipated. There will be more meetings with different community groups. They're also planning some larger outreach events meet the prime style events as you know what they're referred to in the industry in terms of you know creating opportunities for small businesses but also making sure in terms of how the work is being bid out that it's sizable for some of those firms so one of the good faith efforts is breaking apart scope support those are conversations you know that are had to make sure you know that the work is um you know something that the small firms can compete with there's also the standard pre-bid meetings you know that happen for every project where you know there's outreach so they'll be community i oversee those outreach efforts And so I just want to assure you that from what I've seen, there's been a lot of work on that. There will continue to be work on that. And I would also like to invite up members of the development team to just talk about their commitment as well.

If I could just clarify, Maria, correct, MEPF is Mechanical Electrical Plumbing Fire. Yes. So it's those systems in the building, and those are the first packages that you've seen out there for consultation and bidding.

Yeah, and that's the only construction work that's currently been out to bid.

Thank you. I just wanted to clarify for the audience.

Director Thor, can you repeat what you just shared?

Sure. Ms. Picot said MEPF. That's the only construction design package that's out. It's one of the earlier design packages. That stands for mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire.

Can I ask one final question? And I promise I'm going to pass it here.

So is it fair to say then the bulk of the work has not gone out to bid yet?

That's correct. Okay. That's good to know. All right.

Thank you.

Thank you. Any more questions? Not at this time. All right. Thanks.

Commissioner Miller?

Yes. Thank you, Chair. And thank you, community, for your input. This is a great project, but it will truly be a great project when we take into consideration all the community input. So we appreciate hearing that, and we will follow up on these things that arose in the discussion. Thank you for that. But it is a great project. Affordable housing is not easy in San Francisco. And the team that's together, thank you to the staff, thank you to the contractors, our consultants. This is hard work getting affordable housing built in San Francisco. And this project I think is one that we will all be happy to see. I appreciate the comments. Linda, you had comments about maintenance. And maintenance, to me, I spent a large part of my career doing public facility maintenance. And that's so important. So we'll take that into account. And I'm sure the developers have already done that. I've seen, if you get a chance, looking at the detailed plans, they really show a lot of these things that will increase the positive aspects of this for the neighborhood. The building design, I was impressed that it reflects the cultural heritage of the area and the aspirations for the community. And that's important. Architecture can really be aspiring. And I think that was captured by this team. I thank you for that. The site location is fantastic. It's a gateway between downtown and Mission Bay. adjacent to public transit and near to some of the best parks in San Francisco. So I think it'll be a good amenity for those living there and for the neighbors. The project's designed with the residents and the general public's safety in mind, including the controlled access they have for meeting areas that are separate from access to the people that may not be appropriate. There's good lighting. The lighting plan is preliminary, but it has good lighting, which increases public safety. And right across the street is the San Francisco Police Department police station. I think that's huge for ongoing public safety, and that will be something that will work with the police department, of course, that the safety of the public and the residents is continued. There's so many amenities on this. particularly for the residents, and it is geared to very affordability as best we can in this climate in San Francisco. And the design and the landscape really support the quality of life for both families, which is so important in the city, and for seniors, which that's my demographic, so I appreciate that the seniors get housing here as well. I particularly like seeing the social spaces in there so that the people that are residents here can have a social life as they age, and for the kids. It's really good for that as well. I appreciate the extensive native San Francisco plantings. Almost all the plantings, extensive plantings there, that'll be a nice amenity for the neighborhood. Almost all of them are native San Francisco plantings. That's great. Thank you for that. Commissioner Aquino, I think there's 264 bicycle spots required. And we have a great walkable city, bikeable city. And seeing that, I think that'll be a great amenity. And it'll help offset some of the traffic concerns about this many people in a tight spot. But again, thank you for the community's comments. And we will address those as a commission and as staff. Appreciate it, all the good work that went into this. And look forward to more. Thank you.

I mean, it's a great project. I'm just excited, period. And I think it's great. But there's more to do. Yeah.

Again, thank you for the presentation. And as a native of San Francisco, Born, raised here since the 40s. I've seen the transitions. I have seen since the 40s the hard work. My parents, my dad helped build, starting at the shipyard. That was the engine that put food on the table. And got us through school, college, universities, and into our jobs. I'm so grateful for the opportunities. And I hear you. And when I hear the hopes and dreams and thoughts of some of our, we're not saying grab workers that are not qualified, but when I look at 1550 Evans, that solid foundation that has not had one problem with maintenance, nor the, my husband was a cement mason, the leveling, the foundation. When I look at that at 1550, I see what was built by qualified, I'm not even thinking color, race, ethic, qualified, workers that put everything they had into building something that's safe, sustainable, and secure. I know we have contractors. I cannot tell you, just backing up a little bit, how grateful I am for the detailed, Charmaine and Kathy, the detailed work you've put in the plans. I'm so grateful for that and looking for that whole human care in putting this together. But when I see we have framers that haven't been called, I'm looking forward to hearing more about how you think about looking at the community for the qualified workers that are ready and willing and have excellence in their resume, excellence in their work experience, how we can leave them out. It's shattering hopes and dreams. As far as checking out and not having a blind eye, I live in the community. I live in this city. I not only live, I serve. And I know the people. I have family. I have residents and care for the community deeply. It's not unknown. And you can get a witness of meetings I've gone to in behalf of tenants over and over for years. Didn't just start even with the pandemic. but hoping that people are treated humanely, cared about. I look at the holistic way you've given wraparound care in putting this together. And so my heart is for this building. But I also have a heartbeat for food on the table. Gas and cars, their children going to college like I had the opportunity. I have a heartbeat for health and wellness because when you can't feed right, you're nurturing unhealthy children. Seniors, and I'm one, 80 next year, we can't eat well when we can't afford it. So my heart is this for the health and wellness of a thriving, most, this is the most wealthiest city in the nation. We want to be inclusive and we want to stick with our words that we're here for you. We hear you and we see you and we will consider every qualified worker for a position. That is my heart for this wonderful building that's coming together. And I think we can work on, as a cement mason would look at it and see, we can work on that foundation. We can work on that. We can work on and deal with even the wind We need a tall building to house people. We've had to deal with it. For years, no one considered the wind blowing on us. But I think we'll be OK. There are cities known throughout the nation as the Windy City, and they do well. But I look forward to us caring for one another, working together with one another, And making sure, as a Marine would say, no man is left behind. That's able, capable information. So don't think because we're not over and over repeating what you're saying up here. We've had our conversations and our meetings. And we're looking forward to the greater things that can happen. And that's my comment for we the people and myself. OK. So Madam Secretary, if there are no further questions, we'll proceed with motions.

And we'll begin by inviting members of the public here in person to come up to the podium if they wish to provide a comment, starting with Raymond. Raymond Raymond. Raymond Raymond.

It's a comfort to me to be in a forum with so many San Franciscans. I love this. I'm a native San Franciscan. And when Joe Alioto was mayor, he referred to the dog patch as a little bit honky-tonk. The Mission District is still in places. Some of the buildings are aged. They were built at times when Victorian-style buildings were the style, and they weren't constructed Victorian. They were just kind of put together like the original Europeans who arrived here. They got some straight sticks, and they could nail them together, and rah, got a good house. But today, that dank, that honky-tonk still lingers around 16th and Mission. And those of us who have a much brighter spirit about living in San Francisco and living at 16th and Mission, there are five buses, municipal railway transports that move through that intersection. And there's a barge station. Wow, pretty nice. Bart called a meeting. Bart gave a notice, a written notice to the residents all around that area. And on Wednesday, November 5th, convened a meeting in one of the buildings there on the west side of Mission Street. And complete with visual aids, with maps and the like, invited us. They had drawings of the plazas at 16th and Mission and the real estate around it. Invited us to talk about the plazas. We had also recently received a notice from the Department of Permits, the Board of Permit Appeals, inviting us to review the plans for 2970 16th Street, which abuts the Northeast Bart Plaza. And if we were so moved to file an appeal for a demolition permit that was being issued. And that was a bit encouraging. Wow. Because of the information that came out in this BART meeting had to do with Daniel Lurie's wish to revive San Francisco. Matt Haney on the state level, he's trying to inaugurate a campaign to revitalize housing all across the state. Good idea. And that spirit of revitalizing called to those of us who live at 16th and Mission that we have a much brighter disposition towards the community there and really appreciate the work that's gone in by police and the public utilities people to clean the place up, remove some of the schmutz that collected around there. acres and acres of people selling stolen goods.

Thank you, Mr. Raymond.

Yeah?

That was three minutes.

I know. It's a three-minute statement. Well, what I want to get to arrives at Native Americans.

Sorry, that was your three minutes.

Okay.

Thank you very much.

Nice record. Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Raymond.

Are there any other members in here who would like to provide a comment? Seeing none, moving over to our remote callers. There are no remote callers wishing to comment on non-agenda items. Madam Chair.

Hearing no further requests to speak on the item, I will close public comment. Madam Secretary, please call the next item.

Next order of business is item seven, report of the chair. Madam Chair.

Well, I am happy to report I had the privilege and opportunity to attend another CityBuild graduation that was just amazing. And it was just really exciting to see and hear that 25 of those students were placed in permanent jobs and a very diverse group. Exciting, heartwarming, and to see how this city is growing and in whom hands will be a part of stabilizing and keeping the city and taking us further. Also, the Oscar James ribbon cutting. That was heartwarming and amazing. And to hear the testimony of one of the residents, tearjerker, but to see that they reach out, people are coming back home to San Francisco, and given the opportunity to raise their children and in a safe place, with the accommodations that meet whole families and then the individuals that have moved into that site as well. Just really a blessing to be able to hear and see that things are happening and the right thing is being done. And I just hope that we continue doing the right thing the right way. And again, I just want to go back to making sure that we give an opportunity to everyone that's qualified to build this wonderful city, first class, not just citywide, statewide, but worldwide. First class city. And I'm just hoping that we carefully, thoughtfully, intentionally, make sure and look out to see how we might better do the information, informing those that need to respond to the RFPs. They don't get by them without them knowing it went out. Something is done and that we relook and see if there's anything we're missing. If not, then we just keep doing the right thing the right way. So thank you for that. Madam Secretary.

The next order of business is Item 8, Report of the Executive Director. Director Kozlowski.

Thank you, Madam Secretary, members of the Commission, members of the public, and thank you, Chair Scott, for your remarks about the CityBuild graduation. I know Vice Chair Aquino and Commissioner Miller were there as well. What an outstanding event, seeing families see their graduates together and sort of hope for a better tomorrow, being trained in the workforce and having a future in the construction industry. CityBuild is great. uh program and it was fantastic to hear the origin of it from former supervisor sophie maxwell um her hand in it then mayor newsom's hand in it uh folks in the community like laura luster who apparently wrote the program itself and everybody who helped it along the way so it was amazing to hear that hear that story so thank you for your remarks on that I also want to reference a memo that's in your packet regarding the Hunter's Point Shipyard and an update on the recent Navy cleanup activity. As you know, the Navy's cleanup activities are monitored by the US Environmental Protection Agency, the State Department of Toxics, Substance and Control, and the Regional Water Quality Control Board. And they monitor the Navy's activities as well as their air monitoring and dust monitoring whenever they have any dust generating activities in their cleanup. The Navy reported that in November 2024, during some asphalt work on Parcel C, as in CAT, one air sample had a detection of plutonium-239 exceeding what's called an action level for the work in which they were doing. And that triggers a review by the Navy to consider what they're doing and make any necessary adjustments. According to the Navy and the environmental regulators I just mentioned, this was not an indication of a public health risk in any way. But the Navy conducted a months-long investigation to verify the results of this exceedance, and it included a third-party laboratory analysis and validation, after which the Navy shared those findings with the environmental regulators and the city, including the Department of Health, in October 2025. The Navy explained their process for why this was such a long delay from the time of the occurrence. And they said it was an effort to validate the results before any public disclosure. And they also cited the lack of any sort of health risk They also explained that, you know, this in hindsight was too long of a time. They were, I'll talk about it in a second, but they were at a community meeting last night where they said in hindsight they were just too focused on the science and weren't thinking about how the community might receive this. And so nonetheless, this delay, of course, caused concerns about transparency in their cleanup and the reporting of the information that's supposed to be taken to be scientific and not being concealed in any way. And it sort of caused concerns about that. And so everybody, the Department of Public Health and the environmental regulators asked for some additional documentation on this, which the Navy is going to provide. And as I mentioned last night, the Hunters Point Shipyard Citizens Advisory Committee had one of their environmental committees hearing last night. Dr. Scott and I attended that. It was very well attended. The residents got a chance to get information. especially through poster session. I thought it was remarkable to have a radiological expert there. And they got a chance to question the Navy and their methods and what they were doing and voice their concerns. All the regulators were there as well. And so while the Navy and the environmental regulators stated that this posed no risk, the reporting, the delay in the reporting damaged trust. And so the Navy has agreed to and committed to improving communication and reporting process, greater transparency, and posting more relevant documents on their public website. And so they're working with agencies to strengthen oversight and transparency and improve community engagement. uh supervisor walton the supervisor for district 10 has also called for a hearing on the matter uh december 15th at 10 a.m i don't have the room number but he uh will be announcing that shortly so december 15th at 10 a.m at city hall uh december 15th at 10 a.m at city hall uh so i just wanted to make you aware that um and uh i'll keep you apprised that this matter progresses thank you

Thank you, Director Keselowski, for that update. Please keep us abreast of the situation with the Navy and the shipyard. And we do want to see the shipyard safety developed more. and the community protected and I can just say our DNA culturally it's not all the same and what they may know about one they may not know about another so we really want to be kept abreast. Again we will not accept any property if it was not cleaned up properly. and wasn't signed off as safe for redevelopment by the environmental regulators. So thank you so much for sharing with us. Commissioners, do you have any questions, any comments, or concerns on the director's report? I do.

Yes. First of all, thank you, Chair Scott. Thank you, Executive Director Thor. I would like to just say thank you for that. And as you know, we all know resident safety must remain the top priority. I appreciate the continued cleanup efforts, and I strongly support the Navy maintaining responsibility for this work to ensure thorough and transparent and safe remediation for the Bayview community. So thank you for that.

Thank you, Commissioner. Madam Secretary, please call the next item.

The next order of business is Item 9, Commissioner's Questions and Matters. Madam Chair.

Commissioners, do you have any further questions, comments, or concerns?

I'd like to say something. First of all, I did attend the CityBuild graduation event. Thank you for that. That was great to witness the next generation. It's exciting. They're carrying the baton to better things in our city. I think that's very promising. Our Mayor Lurie was there, Sophie Maxwell, as said, and Commissioner Miller was there as well. I didn't get to see you, Chair Scott. I missed you. You were in the front row. Didn't make it quite to the front row. Also, I did attend the amazing Oscar James residency, new resident in the Bayview over by near the shipyard. So that was exciting to be part of and to witness. I think it was a very historic moment as a San Franciscan. I get to be around amazing community leaders and And so it was an honor to be there. And the housing that's there for the community, amazing views, too. So with that, also, I need to plug in my community, Dog Patch. And of course, I just had my flyer and it disappeared. But we're having the holiday market on 22nd between 3rd and Illinois on Tuesday. Saturday, December 6th from 11 to 5. It's fun. It's including the American Industrial Center. They block off a street. You get to roam around our beautiful growing community. Talk about development there. I've been there 22 plus years. So come through. It's Saturday, December 6th from 11 to 5. It's going to be a holiday, fiesta, bring your doggies, kitties, emotional rabbit, I don't know, emotional support. Anyhow, that's all I got, and thank you so much. The place is 22nd and between Illinois and 3rd Street. Just mark that down.

Thank you, Commissioner. Anyone else? Madam Secretary.

Next order of business is item 10, closed session. There are no closed session items. Next order of business is item 11, adjournment. Madam Chair.

Fellow Commissioners, I will need a motion and second to adjourn the meeting.

I move to adjourn. I'll second that.

It's been moved and seconded. The meeting is adjourned at 3.10 p.m. Whew.
