Staff\, can you call the roll\, please. \nYerba Buena Room: Chair Mccann\, present board\, member Battaglio. \nYerba Buena Room: Present board\, member hall\, presence board\, member leader\, present board\, member\, Pellegrini. \nYerba Buena Room: Present and staff attending the meeting tonight. Are myself Ashley\, Tomerlin\, Yuri\, Jewett\, Alyssa\, please\, and Catherine Pan. \nYerba Buena Room: Okay\, good. Thank you\, Ashley. We have a quorum present. So we are duly constituted to conduct business. \nYerba Buena Room: I want to share some instructions on how we can best participate in this meeting\, so that it runs as smoothly as possible \nYerba Buena Room: for everyone online and in the meeting room. Please make sure that you have your microphones or phones muted to avoid background noise for board members. If you have a webcam\, please make sure it’s on. So everyone can see you \nYerba Buena Room: for members of the public. If you would like to speak during a public comment period\, you will need to do so in one of 3 ways. First\, st if you’re here with us in person\, we will ask you to form a line near the podium. If you wish to make a public comment. Speaker\, cards are available at the door. You will be asked to come up to the podium one at a time. After all\, individuals who are present make their comments. We shall call on the participants who are attending the meeting remotely. \nYerba Buena Room: The second way\, if you’re attending on the Zoom Platform. Please raise your virtual hand in zoom. Please click the hand at the bottom of your screen\, and the hand should turn blue when it’s raised. \nYerba Buena Room: Finally\, if you’re joining our meeting via phone\, you must press Star 9 on your keypad to raise or lower your hand to make a comment and star 6 to mute or unmute your phone. We will call on individuals who have raised their hands in the order that they are raised. \nYerba Buena Room: Please keep your comments respectful and focused. We are here to listen to everyone who wishes to address us\, but everyone has the responsibility to act in a civil manner. \nYerba Buena Room: We will not tolerate hate\, speech\, threats made directly or indirectly\, and or abusive language. \nYerba Buena Room: We will mute anyone who fails to follow these guidelines\, or who exceeds the established time limits without permission \nYerba Buena Room: for public comments. If you’re attending online\, please note that we will only hear your voices. Your video will not be enabled. \nYerba Buena Room: If you are attending this meeting on the Zoom Platform we recommend using the gallery view option in view settings in order to see all the panelists audio for in-person panelists is recorded through the room’s audio system and is not synced to the individual panelists videos. \nYerba Buena Room: If you would like to add your contact information to the interested parties list to be notified of future meetings concerning this project tonight. Please call or email Ashley Tomlin\, whose contact information is on the screen\, or is also found on the Bcdc’s website. \nYerba Buena Room: So with that\, we’ll move on to the next item\, which is the approval of meeting the meeting summary for May 12\, th 2025. \nYerba Buena Room: I think everyone you’ve seen the draft meeting summary from our May 12th meeting. This was the Berkeley Peer meeting\, and I just want to check if anyone has any comments or corrections to those meeting notes. \nYerba Buena Room: Anyone\, Ashley\, I mean\, I just had one small\, very picky minute comment. \nYerba Buena Room: which is in. I don’t have the file open right now\, but in \nYerba Buena Room: One of the comments about the ferry it says that I said to study to study the benefits of the ferry\, and I just would say\, study \nYerba Buena Room: the impacts\, positive or negative\, just so that there could be more understanding of how the ferry would be used as a public transit option and potential carbon \nYerba Buena Room: reduction. I didn’t want to presuppose a positive impact. I just wanted to say that it should be studied. \nYerba Buena Room: Okay\, yeah\, thanks for picking that up. Any other comments. \nYerba Buena Room: Okay\, I just want to make one comment. I thought\, I just \nYerba Buena Room: want to say how much I appreciate the level of detail that went into the public comment section that was. And I really appreciate it\, because there are a lot of great points brought up\, and there were a lot of people at the meeting\, so I appreciate how much work went into preparing those notes\, and they will be very helpful when that project comes back. So thanks for that hard work. Okay\, so let’s move on to the next item\, which is staff update. \nYerba Buena Room: Thank you. Chair. Mccann. \nYerba Buena Room: I’m excited to announce that we have released an Rfp. For an update to the Bcdc shoreline plants guidance document. Alas! Our legal team has advised that Board members would likely have a conflict of interest. But if you know of anyone who would be interested in or position to submit a proposal\, the links are available on the Bcdc website. And from yours truly\, we appreciate any help you can give in circulating the Rfp in your circles. \nYerba Buena Room: I plan to provide updates to the board as the project progresses. But the document was last updated in 2\,007\, and we’re hoping to incorporate traditional ecological knowledge and some site remediation \nYerba Buena Room: and more adaptive management for soils and sea level rise. \nYerba Buena Room: So please circulate. I’m happy to share the link. If you have anybody that comes to mind. \nYerba Buena Room: next\, we will not be having a meeting in July. Our next meetings are tentatively scheduled for an August 11th meeting and a September 8th review of Alameda Shipways Project. And that\, concludes the Bcdc. Staff updates\, I’ll pause here if there are any questions from the Board. \nYerba Buena Room: none from me. Any questions from anyone else. Stefan Ashley\, can you tell us when the \nYerba Buena Room: Plant list update? Rfp is due? \nYerba Buena Room: The RFP submittal is due June 30.th Thank you \nYerba Buena Room: any other comments? \nYerba Buena Room: Okay\, we will move on. \nYerba Buena Room: So the next next item is public comment for items\, not on tonight’s agenda. \nYerba Buena Room: and we’ll open the meeting to public comment. Now for items which are not covered by the agenda tonight. \nYerba Buena Room: We don’t. I can’t see anyone in the room who will form a line\, so we’ll skip that\, is there anyone online who has any comments? No. One online chair. Okay\, we will keep moving. Then. \nYerba Buena Room: Okay\, that brings us to the 3rd post permit issuance review of the Brooklyn Basin Channel Park Project. \nYerba Buena Room: and really appreciate the team coming back\, and very grateful to have seen the additional work\, and got to say\, I really appreciated this nice\, clear comparison chart that you guys made. So thank you very much for that. \nYerba Buena Room: So with that we’ll begin our review on this is agenda. Item 5. \nYerba Buena Room: And just to remind you of the Project Review order\, we will start with the Bcdc. Staff presentation. We’ll then have board clarifying questions to the staff. \nYerba Buena Room: We’ll then have the project team presentation \nYerba Buena Room: and then broad board clarifying questions to the project team. Public comment follows that and then board discussion and summary and a brief staff response \nYerba Buena Room: or project proponent response. \nYerba Buena Room: And with that I’ll ask Alyssa\, the Bcdc. Permit analyst to introduce the project. So over to you\, Alyssa. \nYerba Buena Room: Great. Thank you. Chair Mccann\, and good evening Board members once again I’m Melissa\, please. A shoreline development analyst at Bcdc. \nYerba Buena Room: And now I’m happy to introduce the project for tonight’s review. This is the 3rd review of Channel Park\, a proposed 6.2 acre waterfront Park\, situated \nYerba Buena Room: situated at the confluence of the Oakland estuary and Lake Merritt Channel\, within the Brooklyn Basin redevelopment area in the city of Oakland\, Almeda County\, while many of us have seen parts of this presentation. I hope it can be a helpful refresher for those of us \nYerba Buena Room: who weren’t here during the project’s previous review\, as well of\, as well as for those of us who were \nYerba Buena Room: so once again\, in 2011\, the Commission authorized the Brooklyn Basin project\, which involves the redevelopment of a former maritime and industrial district into a mixed use. Waterfront neighborhood. The development covers a 64 acre site at the Oakland waterfront\, which is bounded by the Oakland estuary to the South Lake Merritt Channel\, to the west\, the Embarcadero and I 80 to the north\, and the Broadsett local restaurant and North Basin Marina to the east. \nYerba Buena Room: The proposed project site for Channel Park is\, as you can see in the yellow dashed line bounded to the north by the embarcadero to the east by the Brooklyn Basin Development parcel M. Outlined in the following slide and by private property along the project sites southeastern corner at 5th avenue \nYerba Buena Room: along the southwestern edge. The project shares a shoreline with the Oakland estuary\, and is also across the Lake Merritt Channel\, from Oakland’s Estuary Park. \nYerba Buena Room: the overall development of Brooklyn Basin is phased into 4 parts. This slide shows how open space requirements on the permit overlap with the overall development phasing as well as the extent to which the overall development is located within Bcdc’s 100 foot shoreline band jurisdiction \nYerba Buena Room: construction phase one is complete\, including the development of Shoreline Park\, which is now called Township Commons\, with phase. 2. Construction partially Underway. \nYerba Buena Room: Channel Park is the 4th phase development within the larger Brooklyn Basin Project\, which includes several parks established in the original Master Plan\, such as Township Commons\, Shoreline Park\, Clinton Basin\, South Park\, and Estuary Park. \nYerba Buena Room: The develop the overall development project underwent 4 reviews by the Design Design Review Board prior to its approval by the Commission. \nYerba Buena Room: And now I’d like to briefly review the site’s existing conditions and discuss the existing permit requirements. \nYerba Buena Room: Once again\, here’s an aerial from Google Earth to get a sense of the site as it’s currently situated. And since the industrialization of the Oakland waterfront. The project site has been used primarily for shipbuilding and repair industries\, and though it’s remained vacant oops \nYerba Buena Room: 4 \nYerba Buena Room: the past 20 years\, historic fill placement and remnant contamination from the site’s industrial history have led to soil contamination throughout the site. \nYerba Buena Room: So to address this remnant contamination and to compensate for overall fill impacts. The original permit requires mitigation efforts before commencing \nYerba Buena Room: phases 3 and 4 of the project. This will involve the removal of approximately 0 point 9 3 acres of contaminated material \nYerba Buena Room: on the project site and backfill with clean material to create point 6 5 acres of new tidal waters along the shoreline of Channel Park. \nYerba Buena Room: And so here we have an overview of those permit requirements\, including \nYerba Buena Room: 1\,200 feet of pathways\, 14 benches\, one public view\, corridor\, bay trail\, directional map and an approximately 30 foot wide segment of the Bay trail \nYerba Buena Room: with separated bicycle pedestrian pathways. \nYerba Buena Room: Today Channel Park remains a mostly vacant industrial Brownfield site with an interim\, public access trail around its perimeter. As seen here\, the images above illustrate views from the public access towards Lake Merritt Channel and 5th Avenue. \nYerba Buena Room: and here’s an exhibit showing how the site connects to nearby recreation and transit amenities. The site offers vehicular and bicycle and pedestrian connections to embarcadero or via the Embarcadero to Estuary Park\, Jack\, London Square\, and the broader Brooklyn Basin Development. \nYerba Buena Room: It’s located approximately one mile from transit amenities\, including the ferry Terminal and Amtrak station\, and within a half mile of a weekday commuter shuttle service serving Brooklyn Basin. \nYerba Buena Room: Here are some perspectives from Google Earth approaching the site with views towards the bay\, where the site will be accessed at the Embarcadero towards Lake Merritt Channel and the Oakland estuary. \nYerba Buena Room: another access point will be provided where the bay trail is diverted around parcel M\, which is not yet developed. \nYerba Buena Room: The Bcdc. Community vulnerability mapping tool shows the project site census block as having high indicators of high social vulnerability and highest contamination. Vulnerability \nYerba Buena Room: for this census block limited English proficiency proficiency has also been identified as a social vulnerability indicator in the 90th percentile \nYerba Buena Room: the census block is also in the 90th percentile for multiple contamination vulnerability indicators\, including cleanup sites\, groundwater threats\, hazardous waste and impaired water bodies \nYerba Buena Room: regarding potential sea level rise. This map shows what 24 inches of sea level rise would look like if the site remained unchanged on top of mean\, high high water\, using the Ocean Protection Council’s sea level rise guidance. 24 inches of sea level rise is equivalent to a king tide at mid-century\, under the under the intermediate high scenario \nYerba Buena Room: under the scenario. There’s flooding along the shoreline with overtopping at such \nYerba Buena Room: at sections along the northwestern perimeter of the project site. \nYerba Buena Room: and this map shows what 66 inches of sea level rise on top of mean\, high or high water would look like if the site was unchanged. From this map you can see that the site will experience significant flooding and shoreline overtopping along the entire perimeter of the project site\, along with much of the neighboring shoreline along the Oakland estuary. \nYerba Buena Room: And now I’ll briefly mention the Board’s high\, level comments from the project’s March 10th Review. And just for context\, here is a side by side comparison of the previous Site plan and the Site plan that will be presented tonight. \nYerba Buena Room: During the Board’s previous review\, comments were related primarily to the Park’s public access and bay trail\, orientation\, sea level rise\, adaptation scenarios\, planting and landscape maintenance and the open water basin and breakwater design. \nYerba Buena Room: But I will leave our project team to explain in more detail how the project design has been modified in response to the Board’s comments. \nYerba Buena Room: But before that I’ll provide an overview of the question in the staff. Report that we’d like the Board to consider in your review. \nYerba Buena Room: First\, st please consider\, as usual\, how the project meets the public access objectives provided in Bcdc’s public access design guidelines \nYerba Buena Room: summarized above \nYerba Buena Room: and after the Board’s multiple reviews of this project staff has one question for your consideration tonight\, which is\, does the revised project sufficiently address the Board’s previous concerns. \nYerba Buena Room: including transitions between Channel Park and adjacent uses\, such as embarcadero and parcelain? \nYerba Buena Room: And now I’d like to see if the board has any clarifying questions for staff. \nYerba Buena Room: Okay\, thanks very much. Alyssa. Any clarifying questions. \nYerba Buena Room: Are are we gonna hear from the project applicants. Again\, we ask\, okay\, I don’t have any questions for the staff. \nYerba Buena Room: None question\, no questions from me\, and I none from the board. So we will continue. Thanks. Very much. \nYerba Buena Room: Great. Thank you. Okay\, we’ll move to the project team presentation now. So go ahead. Please go ahead. \nYerba Buena Room: Good evening. My name is Claire Janest. I’m a landscape designer with ein Willer keel\, landscape architecture here tonight with Sarah Keel\, Patrick Van Ness and Matt from Wra and signature development. Thank you\, Alyssa\, for the introduction and the background on the project. We’re looking forward to showing the board our Updated design for the For Channel Park. \nYerba Buena Room: There were some very helpful comments in our last presentation in March\, and we really appreciated the opportunity to sharpen our pencils and refine the design moving forward \nYerba Buena Room: as a refresher. The park is located within the larger Brooklyn Basin Development\, right at the confluence of the Lake Merritt Channel as it lets out into the Oakland estuary \nYerba Buena Room: and Channel Park is part of a group of 5 Parks in the Brooklyn Basin Development area\, and as a whole they read as as a family\, but each of them has their own unique character\, and channel. Park\, in particular\, is planned as sort of the greenest space within the Brooklyn Basin development. It’s got the most sort of wild and open character and the most relationship with the surrounding natural world. \nYerba Buena Room: This is the plan that we presented back in March\, \nYerba Buena Room: and it featured a section of the bay trail that winded through the park\, the new open water basin\, and then 3 main programmatic areas. There’s the Peninsula\, an interpretive garden sort of in the center of the park\, and then a more recreation focused area where the lawns are in at page South \nYerba Buena Room: The comments that we received from the board spanned 5 main categories. They were about the design of the bay trail and its connections to the public realm\, as well as questions around public access\, the planting palette\, the water basin itself\, and then sea level rise adaptation. \nYerba Buena Room: So we’ve incorporated many of those comments into our updated design\, and we’ve also taken the opportunity to go back to the site and ground truth some of our design decisions. \nYerba Buena Room: and returning to the site has really confirmed for us that there are really no bad views looking outwards. There’s great views all along the edge of the park. In some places you get views all the way out to the downtown Oakland skyline. There’s interesting views over to the 5th Avenue Marina\, where you see some of the industrial history. The only place where there’s a less desirable view would be looking back towards i. 8\, 80\, and we will be doing our best to plant trees to mask those views. \nYerba Buena Room: So our updated site plan reflects many of those changes that we spoke about in March. \nYerba Buena Room: primarily\, that would be the the bay trail itself. We’ve softened the course of the bay trail. We’ve made those turns a lot softer. We’ve tried to incorporate more meander\, especially out in the recreation area. And we’ve consolidated some of those lawn spaces to to get a more sizable \nYerba Buena Room: gathering space. \nYerba Buena Room: You’ll also notice in that Red Arrow shows where this the Bay trail could more easily connect through the 5th Avenue Marina parcel. Should that ever become an option or an opportunity. \nYerba Buena Room: and otherwise. They’ve just been some minor modifications to the geometry\, but it’s all still very much in the spirit of our previous design. We’ve also worked to clarify the connection points between the Bay trail and Embarcadero Street\, and we’ll have more details on that in the next slides \nYerba Buena Room: in red. You’ll see the Bay trail\, and \nYerba Buena Room: where it connects to Embarcadero Street is the dashed red line. And so what we’ve done now is made clear that \nYerba Buena Room: the pedestrian and bicyclists are always separated from vehicular traffic\, except where there are crosswalks that are already existing around the site. \nYerba Buena Room: We’ve also designed the bay trail to respond to a comfortable speed of travel for bicycles\, and in many ways all the paths around the site respond to speed of travel. So the purple paths that you’ll see\, relate to the pedestrian experience. Those are tighter\, more meandering curves\, and that’s really intentional\, so that people spend time in the landscape. It takes longer to get through the the space. \nYerba Buena Room: and that’s really to encourage people to explore\, whereas the bay trail itself is meant for a faster speed of travel. \nYerba Buena Room: There were some questions about how we are designing the width of the bay trail. And so this is our minimum condition that \nYerba Buena Room: responds to the minimum bay trail standards. So we’ve got a 30 foot wide area. \nYerba Buena Room: and in within that you’ll have 12 feet of planting area\, 6 on either side\, 3 feet of \nYerba Buena Room: paved shoulders on either side\, and then a 12 foot shared. Use trail that is paved throughout. \nYerba Buena Room: and that planting area may accommodate some lighting or benches or other amenities throughout\, but for the most part it will be planted. \nYerba Buena Room: We also wanted to clarify the distinction between pedestrian spaces and vehicular spaces\, especially along the 4th Avenue corridor. And so we’ve cut 3 sections through there\, and you’ll see that in each case the red and purple paths are separated from vehicular areas by planting. \nYerba Buena Room: The only exception to that rule would be in Section B\, where we have a crosswalk at the parcel\, M. Access and per the Board’s comments from March. We have lifted that crosswalk up onto a speed table to slow cars down as they access in and out of parcel M. So we’re prioritizing the pedestrian user rather than the the vehicular\, the vehicles. \nYerba Buena Room: And here’s a view of what that bay trail experience looks like at the embarcadero connection. Point. So you’ve got planting between people and the 4th Avenue Road\, and then on the right hand side\, you can see a bit of the meandering pedestrian paths that are winding around the bioswale. \nYerba Buena Room: This is at the eastern edge of the park\, the other point of connection to Embarcadero Street\, where there will be a curb cut that allows people to come in between the 5th Avenue\, Marina\, and parcel M down the throughway. \nYerba Buena Room: We recognize this is a tighter condition than some of the park. But we think that with \nYerba Buena Room: extensive planting and benches and signage and lighting\, this can become somewhere that really calls for the public to to enter\, and it shows that they are welcome into this space. \nYerba Buena Room: And this is the view from the the flip side of that. So back at the recreation lawns\, looking back towards Embarcadero Street\, and you can see that parcel. M is on the left 5th Avenue Marine on on the right\, and the bay trail goes between the 2. \nYerba Buena Room: There were some concerns as well about \nYerba Buena Room: the site being situated higher at a higher elevation than the surrounding context. And we’re we’re well aware of that\, and making every possible effort to \nYerba Buena Room: make that transition comfortable for pedestrians. \nYerba Buena Room: And so we will be working on this as we move forward\, but our intention is to keep this as as open and and comfortable as possible. \nYerba Buena Room: There were also some questions about bay trail amenities throughout the park there will be lighting all along the Bay trail. We’re intentionally keeping lighting out of the Peninsula\, as that’s really meant to be more of a nature focused space. And so \nYerba Buena Room: we felt like \nYerba Buena Room: to prioritize habitat. We should keep lighting out of there and along the bay trail\, where most of the public use will be happening\, especially in the evenings. There will also be trash cans\, picnic tables\, benches\, bike racks in the most sort of heavily used areas \nYerba Buena Room: in terms of the relationship between the pedestrian spaces and the open water basin. There were some questions about how we are \nYerba Buena Room: limiting public access to the water basin or limiting folks from walking down to the water\, and we’re really doing that by incorporating planted shoulders\, especially on the bay trail. There’s a 12 foot wide planted shoulder. \nYerba Buena Room: And we’re taking our cues from other existing open space areas and bay trail sections throughout the bay. The examples that you see at the bottom of the screen. A few of them have more riprap\, but we are trying to move away from using as much riprap as possible and shifting towards planting. And so we’re hoping that the planting really encourages folks to stay on the path and signal where people are invited in and where it’s supposed to be for the natural world. \nYerba Buena Room: And with that I’m going to pass it over to Matt to speak about the open water basin and sedimentation. \nYerba Buena Room: Sure\, we recognize that the the board had some comments about sedimentation \nYerba Buena Room: in the open water basin. The civil engineer that’s a Simpson Simpson\, Gumpertz and Hager Sgh. What they had done in the pre-design phase of this is\, they had done a bathymetry analysis between the 2 data sets shown here 2017 and 2024\, and the 1st of those shows that the mean High water line had not changed in that time. \nYerba Buena Room: So we didn’t find there was a a change in this area of the Oakland estuary or the Channel. \nYerba Buena Room: and if you can go to the next slide. \nYerba Buena Room: and similarly\, when looking at the local bathymetry\, we found also\, or the Civil found also that there was really no change at this location where we were designing the open water. \nYerba Buena Room: Given the local conditions that seem to indicate that there’s no net sediment\, increase or accretion at this location. That’s where we that’s where our concerns were laid that we’re not going to have similar issues with the open water feature. \nYerba Buena Room: And lastly\, we’ll just touch on the question of sea level rise resiliency to 2\,100. We showed 2 options last time one diagram showed a walled condition and the other was a berm\, and there was a unanimous desire for us to move forward with the berm condition as it offered a more\, a managed retreat scenario for sea level rise. So we’ve incorporated that into our current design and made space for that berm for that berm to be built in the future. \nYerba Buena Room: It would be a 2 foot tall berm\, and it would allow the park to be resilient to 2\,100. In the interpretive garden and recreation area the Peninsula would support\, managed retreat\, and would slowly become marshland. \nYerba Buena Room: and the berm would work in tandem with a breakwater modification which you’re seeing in the top right section\, and then a wall that would kind of transition between that breakwater and the berm itself. \nYerba Buena Room: And this is Sarah Keel. I’m going to conclude by just trying to contextualize what I think is important about this project for Oakland. One thing is. \nYerba Buena Room: there are places in Oakland where you can go to a park\, but the places where you can go to a park and experience sort of a healthy natural world and ecology are the really beloved ones. And so this project is trying to be a place where healthy ecology is an environment that people are invited into rather than sort of drawing a line between them. \nYerba Buena Room: And the other thing is that within particularly the last 5 years in Oakland\, Brooklyn Basin is a real success story. There have been tremendous challenges in cities in Oakland in particular\, and Brooklyn Basin is actually doing well. It’s built 465 units of affordable housing\, and they built them first.st So there’s \nYerba Buena Room: much more of a mixed community of people living there. The park\, which is township commons. I actually just got an article while I was sitting here saying that they’re having a contest for what’s your favorite 3rd place in Oakland and Township Commons is one of the top contenders. \nYerba Buena Room: It’s well maintained. It’s not having some of the challenges of other parks. And so we really see this as building on something that’s working in Oakland building on what’s happening at Jlac\, and something that potentially can extend the range of experiences. So we feel like it’s in a place in Oakland\, and it really matters that it’s building on things that are already working. And so we’re we’re believing in the ambitiousness in some ways of the design for that. \nYerba Buena Room: and it’s not just anywhere. It’s somewhere where we’ve seen things succeed in the past. And with that\, Patrick\, did you want to add anything \nYerba Buena Room: Patrick Van Ness with the project development team. And yeah\, I’m here to answer any detailed questions you might have about the history of the project or the interactions with surrounding properties. \nYerba Buena Room: Okay\, thank you very much. It was a very clear presentation and appreciate the extra detail\, evaluation and review of the various aspects of the design in the last couple of months. So thank you for that. \nYerba Buena Room: We’re now going to move to clarifying questions on the presentation from the board. I just wanted to kick off with one\, and I wonder if you could just flip back to the \nYerba Buena Room: the 2 sketches perspective sketches that you prepared showing the Embarcadero Street interface. And it’s the southern one that I just yeah. Sorry. The one \nYerba Buena Room: flip today. Yeah\, I just wanted to double check. It shows a curb cut there. \nYerba Buena Room: Just remind me\, is this an emergency access vehicle \nYerba Buena Room: way as well or or not? \nYerba Buena Room: It could end up. I think that will relate more to the final design of parcel M. But it doesn’t have to be. The curb cut is primarily provided for bicycles coming from the bike path. Yeah\, yeah\, I mean\, I. It’s it’s \nYerba Buena Room: in the sketch. It looks like\, perhaps there could be confusion from vehicles who might \nYerba Buena Room: decide that that’s an access way\, but to be determined in the design\, of course. And I just wanted to clarify that. \nYerba Buena Room: Okay\, any other clarifications. Bob\, we’ll start with you. \nYerba Buena Room: Thank you. \nYerba Buena Room: What can I ask about the the basin? \nYerba Buena Room: I know you had discussions about this last time\, but I \nYerba Buena Room: What is the the design elevation of the basin. And what is it? It’s expected condition. Is it going to be bare ground or vegetated? And what kind of \nYerba Buena Room: habitat\, or\, you know vegetation. Are you anticipating? \nYerba Buena Room: Yeah. The the inlets tied into the Oakland asteroid\, a subtitle level \nYerba Buena Room: and the open water itself is also below mean high water\, and below the where we typically find low marsh vegetation. \nYerba Buena Room: So it’s it’s kind of going to look like \nYerba Buena Room: what you’d see\, perhaps a natural mud flat. We’re not expecting a lot of vegetation growth. \nYerba Buena Room: With the channel at the elevation it’s we’re recommending would likely not stay full of water\, but only on the lowest of low tides. Would it also be empty in the middle by the 6? Right. \nYerba Buena Room: Thank you. Thanks \nYerba Buena Room: other questions\, Stefan. \nYerba Buena Room: Thank you so much for this really helpful presentation\, and I also found it very helpful because I wasn’t here for the previous review to see what the comments already were. \nYerba Buena Room: Fantastic. Board discussion. And I just a a few kind of grab bag of questions. \nYerba Buena Room: that future connection to Lake Merritt Channel is the idea that would go under the embarcadero or over. And is this very speculative? What’s the sort of story with that? \nYerba Buena Room: There is a many tons of 1 million dollar bike path project. That is an elevated bridge that goes over the railroad and the freeway. It is as of yet unfunded. But if it ever happened\, it’s touching down from above. \nYerba Buena Room: Got it. So it does. It sort of loops around. Got it? Okay\, yeah\, that’s helpful. \nYerba Buena Room: I was wondering for the programming. It seems like\, kind of primarily picnicking and walking. Maybe bird watching \nYerba Buena Room: was there. You mentioned a desire for this to be more natural? Was there some a process that led to those specific activities like a public process. Or how did you select that programming for this site? \nYerba Buena Room: So we’ve had the benefit of working on all of the parks at Brooklyn Basin\, and particularly when we started with township commons\, which is very built. \nYerba Buena Room: Some of the public who lives in the 5th Avenue community\, and others really wanted a place that was for birds\, for the natural world that spoke to that. And so this park \nYerba Buena Room: was always going to be a passive recreation park. But the dial towards ecology got turned up through feedback that we got during our other park meetings\, and in other hearings that people did at Estuary Park was\, which is the one across the Channel. And in conversations. It’s something that people said they wanted here \nYerba Buena Room: those activities of picnicking and the kind of recreation lawns specifically. \nYerba Buena Room: There’s always\, you know\, people putting tabs on picnicking and the trail uses themselves. But as a like detailed\, I want a picnic lawn at this park. \nYerba Buena Room: Not not exactly. No\, I’m also wondering. \nYerba Buena Room: the parking kind of comes very far into the park. \nYerba Buena Room: and I was wondering if there\, I see that there’s a desire to make a vehicular connection into the blocks there. \nYerba Buena Room: But is there a reason why the parking isn’t closer to the road. Is it? Is there some the bioswale needs to be there\, or is there some. \nYerba Buena Room: or is it just? That’s sort of where it landed? \nYerba Buena Room: More than one reason. So one partly it’s the existing bioswale and the need to make a grade change from embarcadero to a higher ground. \nYerba Buena Room: Partly it’s a question of ease\, of access to the water\, and other things for people who are mobility impaired\, and a desire to have some close spaces for them. And partly. It’s just a geometry of trying to get the\, you know\, a square thing in a round thing and getting it to look good. \nYerba Buena Room: and then for the Bay trail. Was it important to achieve a 30 foot bay trail? \nYerba Buena Room: Was that like a because I noticed there’s a lot of planting which isn’t typically part of the Bay Trail section. \nYerba Buena Room: So Patrick can speak to this more the before my time document that guides all of the development at Brooklyn Basin called out for a 30 Foot Bay trail section\, but when we drilled down to that for township Commons \nYerba Buena Room: we were told to follow the guidelines for the Bay trail standard\, which is obviously less. But then amenities and things that support the trail\, planting benches\, lights should be within that 30 foot section. And so that’s the guidance we have continued to follow is that there’s \nYerba Buena Room: an 18 foot wide trail section which includes the trail itself and the paved shoulders and the remaining 12 feet is supportive elements that make the trail a good experience\, basically. And that’s the way we’ve been following it on the whole project. \nYerba Buena Room: Okay\, thank you? \nYerba Buena Room: And then last question\, what are people connecting to across the embarcadero? \nYerba Buena Room: What’s the? There’s a crosswalk. There? Is there a future connection that would be made because it looks like it’s just the sidewalk\, basically on the other side of the embarcadero. And the reason I’m asking is if there should be some sort of \nYerba Buena Room: light or pedestrian safety something\, or if it’s really just not going to be a heavily used crosswalk\, or if that was considered at all. \nYerba Buena Room: we are just drawing the existing condition. That’s sort of out of the purview of the project. But in terms of uses on the other side there’s an facility and a lumber yard\, and the crosswalk is mainly being used\, for if you happen to use one side of the bridge or the bike path that’s on the other side. But there’s not really a parcel destination\, I would say. It’s just a movement across the road itself. \nYerba Buena Room: Do you know\, if there’s been any like traffic studies\, or anything to indicate that there should be some sort of enhanced pedestrian safety for crossing? Or is it not really a desire line. \nYerba Buena Room: The crosswalk\, as I understand it\, was installed with the Embarcadero Bridge\, and in that design they had enhanced pedestrian access on both sides\, so it was put in place to bring pedestrians from one side of the bridge to the other side\, the thought process being\, if somebody’s on \nYerba Buena Room: the upland side of the bridge. They’ll want to go to the Park\, and so they would have done any pedestrian studies with that project. They’re the ones that installed the crosswalk. \nYerba Buena Room: Thank you. Those are all my questions. \nYerba Buena Room: Tom. Any questions? Yeah. Just 2. \nYerba Buena Room: Quick ones. \nYerba Buena Room: The \nYerba Buena Room: possible future bay trail connection to the south. I guess it is. Could you talk a little bit more about what would have to happen? \nYerba Buena Room: Would that become a reality? \nYerba Buena Room: Or maybe maybe there’s a bigger context map\, too. \nYerba Buena Room: Yeah\, maybe go back to one of the bigger context maps. This is pretty good\, actually. Well\, either one of these the sort of white zone between South Park and Channel Park is a piece of property owned by someone else. \nYerba Buena Room: And at the time that this development came about they did not want to sell it\, so what would have to happen would be\, they would have to decide to develop or sell that parcel\, and then there would be an opportunity to request a connection. \nYerba Buena Room: and if they did develop they would have to accommodate Paytrail some way correct. That was the theory at the time\, but they were very specific that they wanted to be excluded from all planning efforts for this project area got it. They did not agree to anything. The city of Oakland had asked\, makes sense. Okay? One more question on siltation. \nYerba Buena Room: If somehow expectations were not met and there was some silk came in there. God forbid! \nYerba Buena Room: What would happen! \nYerba Buena Room: What would that be like? Is that bad or good? Or \nYerba Buena Room: I think certainly we’d go into a adaptive management mode. \nYerba Buena Room: I think the 1st thing we’d start to watch out for is what vegetation really is coming in. So the the current design of the open water is about at mean high water mean high water\, the level of mean high water\, so \nYerba Buena Room: like a like I mentioned before\, almost like a mud flat. If vegetation did start coming in. I think we would likely be looking for things like Spartina \nYerba Buena Room: or other low marsh vegetation that would come in \nYerba Buena Room: and we’d look to the regional plans to to manage that\, if need be\, or to let it keep growing. \nYerba Buena Room: Now\, if you know\, I think if the channel was filling in. \nYerba Buena Room: That would be something a little bit different. \nYerba Buena Room: right? Especially into how it was. The intention of the open water is to invite the tide in right for that experience. Right? We’re watching. We’re watching the water go in and go out on a daily basis. It’s marking the time as you’re in the park. \nYerba Buena Room: So I think the idea there is. If that experience was being interrupted right by the saltation\, that’s\, you know\, when we might consider \nYerba Buena Room: corrective actions right to to clear the channel or clear the inlet. \nYerba Buena Room: Corrective action like you mean\, deep in the Channel. \nYerba Buena Room: I don’t think that would. Necessarily. It’s it’s designed pretty deep\, right as an open water feature. \nYerba Buena Room: you wouldn’t necessarily you’d look for. \nYerba Buena Room: I think. I guess what I’m saying is corrective actions might be. If there’s specific blockages right? A blockage at the Channel\, a blockage at one of the trees\, right? Not necessarily a \nYerba Buena Room: wholesale sediment\, accretion going on\, so would it be fair to say that if it did salt up more. \nYerba Buena Room: that it’s not necessarily creating a blight or anything. That’s it’s gonna it’s gonna go to saltwater marsh in some form. \nYerba Buena Room: Yeah\, I I think the difference between this and and other planned \nYerba Buena Room: you know\, more traditional like a restoration right? Instead of a park feature is that this is designed \nYerba Buena Room: well\, deeper than you might \nYerba Buena Room: right. It’s it’s designed to hold the water. Mark the time as as the tide comes in. \nYerba Buena Room: So so again\, if it did silt in\, we’d start to see vegetation. And and I think the evaluation is there is whether that’d be beneficial to the experience of the park or not. Not necessarily that the whole system would stop working. \nYerba Buena Room: Thanks. \nYerba Buena Room: Okay\, yeah. Stefan. \nYerba Buena Room: I have a question about parcel parcel\, M. And so I’m hoping that \nYerba Buena Room: staff can also weigh in on this. The parcel M will be proposed by others. It’s out of the purview of this project\, but it also \nYerba Buena Room: is impacted by the shoreline band. \nYerba Buena Room: But so the way that I understand that is that there’s some expectation that parcel. M. Would \nYerba Buena Room: also be subject to maximizing public access to the shoreline. \nYerba Buena Room: Is that a correct assessment? \nYerba Buena Room: Do you expect? Parcel M to come through for review? \nYerba Buena Room: It’s my understanding parcel. M is not in the shoreline band\, so we wouldn’t review it. For \nYerba Buena Room: for the project. \nYerba Buena Room: it’s Catherine. Did I get that right\, because I’m just looking at the little purple band there that goes through the corner. So I think if \nYerba Buena Room: oh\, it might be that with the new configuration of the shoreline resulting from this project that it \nYerba Buena Room: enters the shoreline band. \nYerba Buena Room: I’m not sure\, if like\, without \nYerba Buena Room: you know this project\, whether it would be as that. I don’t know if Sarah is that correct\, Patrick? \nYerba Buena Room: I believe that the purple band you see there is the new shoreline. So that’s with the reconfiguration of the shoreline. It pulls the \nYerba Buena Room: Ccdc jurisdiction line. In \nYerba Buena Room: that being said\, we went through extensive discussions about development parcels through the entire. You know 4 plus \nYerba Buena Room: design review hearings that were in the original entitlement. And every time that we have a project that comes back to Bcdc design review. \nYerba Buena Room: so the development parcels are private development parcels that \nYerba Buena Room: are part of the project. But it was always intended that they were to be high density housing \nYerba Buena Room: in around the parks. \nYerba Buena Room: So I would say at the time the project comes forward. \nYerba Buena Room: Depending on what the shoreline is at that point. \nYerba Buena Room: It might require some action from Bcdc. \nYerba Buena Room: I think we’ll have to see kind of how things converge. \nYerba Buena Room: Well\, Stefan\, I I mean\, I think it’s you’re raising a good question. \nYerba Buena Room: Can I put it to Ashley and Staff to look into that\, and to determine what the position would be? \nYerba Buena Room: And I take it from previous. \nYerba Buena Room: the the sequence of reviews. Maybe you could help us with this. The \nYerba Buena Room: previous 4 reviews that happened during the Master Plan\, or the planning process for the entire \nYerba Buena Room: parcel\, the the master plan. Have you come back to Bcdc. With architectural proposals\, ever or\, yeah. \nYerba Buena Room: Not. With. So the original design review process envisioned that each parcel was a big block\, 86 feet tall\, property line to property line. So the what was reviewed was\, you know\, shadow view impacts\, but the assumption being that that it would be a complete \nYerba Buena Room: covered parcel \nYerba Buena Room: we have the parcels that sit around Clinton Basin that are clearly within Bcdc’s jurisdiction and staff has reviewed those and \nYerba Buena Room: we did go to design review on \nYerba Buena Room: on one of them\, I believe. But it was more for how the public access \nYerba Buena Room: was developed in that area\, not for the parcel\, but it was the final design \nYerba Buena Room: of that section of public access\, and then\, where the openings were from the future development. But it wasn’t \nYerba Buena Room: determined at that time that the Pcdc sort of overarching view of \nYerba Buena Room: requiring public access on the parcel development site\, because the public access was the 30 acres of \nYerba Buena Room: right waterfront park. Yeah\, I mean\, there is a timing and sequential relationship here that in\, you know\, in other projects. We’ve certainly reviewed projects where. \nYerba Buena Room: the implications of the building as in shadow or wind\, or \nYerba Buena Room: access or visibility privacy\, you know all the issues that we would consider. You know we we are. It’s not uncommon for us to be looking at those issues and reviewing the the trail \nYerba Buena Room: in this instance the trail is being established\, and the park. \nYerba Buena Room: before seeing any of the buildings which I presume on their own timeline. But \nYerba Buena Room: So it’s a little unusual to I don’t know what is the timing for the development of the buildings. Is it the same? Or \nYerba Buena Room: they would go likely of at the same time. Everything you discussed about\, you know\, shadows\, wind views. \nYerba Buena Room: When we went through design review before it was an understanding that there’s a similar to Mission Bay. It’s a big building sitting on the \nYerba Buena Room: waterfront\, and we’ll have those impacts because it’s a big building sitting on the waterfront. The the \nYerba Buena Room: really\, the focus was on \nYerba Buena Room: the public access around there\, similar also to Mission Bay and what those interactions were. And that’s kind of how it went through the design review process. And yeah\, now\, that was a long time ago\, and and no one on this board was here. But that was a lot of the discussion at the time was\, how do the development parcels interact with the open space staff gave guidance to the designer view on how to do that. And that’s how we ended up with these \nYerba Buena Room: parks. Yeah\, actually\, I think a few of us were on the board at that time\, but we were reviewing master Plan proposals\, and you know the park design\, for example\, here has evolved significantly from the master plan. So which again\, is not unusual\, but it does raise the question of \nYerba Buena Room: I I don’t know. If you’ve been able to find anything else out while this conversation is going on. But \nYerba Buena Room: Can you clarify anything for us? \nYerba Buena Room: No staff will have to look into the \nYerba Buena Room: preview\, the plan\, review history\, and the design review history for the site and see how the permit is structured related to input on the building. I do recall from the last the Drb meeting in March \nYerba Buena Room: Gary string had requested more information on the interface with the public access and the site development \nYerba Buena Room: and we can look into that right. \nYerba Buena Room: Yes\, go ahead. \nYerba Buena Room: Sorry. I guess just maybe just one follow up question is\, is the vehicular access to parcel M \nYerba Buena Room: limited to the 4th Avenue connection? \nYerba Buena Room: Or will that be something that’s subject to future determination. \nYerba Buena Room: based on the layout of the ultimate project. \nYerba Buena Room: 4th Avenue was always envisioned to be the main access point for parcel M. \nYerba Buena Room: The design guidelines that we operate under with \nYerba Buena Room: city of Oakland\, discourage direct access or development onto Barcadero\, trying to limit the amount of \nYerba Buena Room: access points on the main thoroughfare and crossing the bike lanes and whatnot that are there \nYerba Buena Room: so 4th Avenues? And is your main access to parcelain and the park? \nYerba Buena Room: Is it possible that the number I’ll call it the number 9\, \nYerba Buena Room: a bay trail connection could be \nYerba Buena Room: requested or used for future vehicular access. \nYerba Buena Room: The bay trail location on 9 served 2 purposes. One was originally intended to be an emergency vehicle access for parcel M. Because when I said before\, we looked at large developments. They were required to have that access point there\, but also because we have no ability to cross the out parcel. It was the Bay trail section \nYerba Buena Room: that got you back to the connection of other pay trail sections and bike and pad on \nYerba Buena Room: in the area. \nYerba Buena Room: So it served 2 purposes. \nYerba Buena Room: depending upon what happens on parcel M. That may or may not be used for an Eva for parcel M. But it may be still desired by the fire department \nYerba Buena Room: to have emergency vehicle access. \nYerba Buena Room: because now they could use that to potentially fight a fire or have access the site from an emergency standpoint \nYerba Buena Room: along the adjacent parcel that doesn’t currently exist\, and I would not be surprised if. \nYerba Buena Room: regardless of whether or not we need it on parcel\, M. That the fire department requests that that be a emergency vehicle\, access to access the park and access this section of the park because it is \nYerba Buena Room: somewhat isolated from the rest of the site. \nYerba Buena Room: Just a follow up on that. Can you describe \nYerba Buena Room: how that section would change if if the fire department requires that for Eva? \nYerba Buena Room: Oh\, go ahead! \nYerba Buena Room: Really not much in terms of the width of the path right now is designed at 18 feet\, which would almost accommodate a fire truck. You need 2 more feet\, and then we might need some places potentially to stop and have slightly wider areas. But it wouldn’t really change much from what we’re proposing. \nYerba Buena Room: They would use the trail as the vehicular access \nYerba Buena Room: the roadway it would\, it would have a different section or wait. \nYerba Buena Room: I really appreciate this this additional clarification. It’s really helpful. I have one more question\, and I promise I’m not gonna ask any more questions right now. \nYerba Buena Room: Is\, is is there a precedent or \nYerba Buena Room: Is there a situation where a permit could include considerations or conditions of approval for a \nYerba Buena Room: internal private property that would bring considerations of public access into play when it is developed. \nYerba Buena Room: cause it sounds like there’s a scenario here where that would be out of Bcdc’s future purview. \nYerba Buena Room: And this is\, I can’t think of a situation where we have. \nYerba Buena Room: I’m not saying that there isn’t 1 i can’t remember a situation where there is kind of an internalized parcel like this. That is maybe \nYerba Buena Room: potentially has future impacts on the outcome of public access. \nYerba Buena Room: That’s being considered right. Now. \nYerba Buena Room: You don’t have to answer that question. But that’s that is a question about like the reason why I’m asking this is because you have asked us is the considerations around the things that are outside of the purview of this project being parcel M. And the 5th Avenue properties\, are we feeling? Okay with that? And so I’m \nYerba Buena Room: I’m putting a question back to you. so I’ll stop. \nYerba Buena Room: I would say\, if it’s something that the permitee has control over or can enter into an agreement over and it’s something that would \nYerba Buena Room: protect or preserve some aspect of the public access. Specifically\, \nYerba Buena Room: you know\, we do often include conditions in our permits that are that affect locations outside of our immediate jurisdiction. \nYerba Buena Room: But it has to\, you know\, any condition that we include like has to like\, have some \nYerba Buena Room: place in the findings that we make about maximum\, feasible public access\, and it also has to be something that the permitee is actually able to provide. So \nYerba Buena Room: you know\, something that’s like\, either on property that they control\, or something that they’re able to enter into an agreement with the property owner over\, you know something like that. So so it is possible. \nYerba Buena Room: I that answers your question. \nYerba Buena Room: you know\, just not to overdo this right now\, but just to clarify one other thing\, the current \nYerba Buena Room: building\, the the building areas that are shown \nYerba Buena Room: on parcel M\, are they all residential over garage? Or are they separate garage structures. \nYerba Buena Room: What’s shown is a schematic plan that was submitted to the city of Oakland and was running through a design review process. But it’s been put on hold. But this design\, if it moved forward\, has garages on the ground floor\, pedestrian or access at the ground floor as well along 4th Avenue. Okay? \nYerba Buena Room: Can. \nYerba Buena Room: I just want to say that I do think that? \nYerba Buena Room: You know\, we’re in a housing crisis. \nYerba Buena Room: and we desperately need housing\, and I would hate to see us adding a layer of review to an already very complicated thing to do\, which is build housing in the Bay Area\, especially at this moment. \nYerba Buena Room: and it sort of feels like we might be penalizing them for having increased the habitat\, because that’s what’s moving that jurisdiction line in to catch the corner of parcel. M. So I think we should talk about any concerns we have about this Bay trail access. But I would just hate for us to say that housing has to come in for another review\, because \nYerba Buena Room: it’s all this. This plan has already been through review\, and I think they should be able to move forward with building housing without us having another review over that. That’s my personal feeling. Maybe not the feeling of the board. But I just want to say that. That’s I think it’s an opportunity we have to help \nYerba Buena Room: housing production. Yeah. And Kristen\, I think that’s well said. And you know\, I think to Stefan’s Point. It’s just \nYerba Buena Room: more typical\, in fact\, really usual for us to be able to appreciate the interface between the you know\, a park and whatever the building development is proposed to be just so that \nYerba Buena Room: the protection of public access is maintained. Yeah. \nYerba Buena Room: for what it’s worth. Township Commons followed this model. We built the park first\, st and there’s a lot of there’s a road\, and there’s a lot of lots behind it that weren’t built and it’s worked out\, I guess is what I would say\, yeah\, yeah. Okay. \nYerba Buena Room: Good. \nYerba Buena Room: I’m good. Yeah. \nYerba Buena Room: Okay. With that\, we’ll move to public comment. Is there? \nYerba Buena Room: Before I read the preamble? Is there any public comment? \nYerba Buena Room: There’s none online. But I think\, Ashley. \nYerba Buena Room: okay\, we received 2 public comments submitted prior to the meeting. The 1st was from Mtc. Bay trail. Planner\, Lily Brown \nYerba Buena Room: and her points were\, she requested\, clarification on the inclusion of shoulders on the bay trail\, and suggested maintaining the paved portion of the bay trail at 18 feet to accommodate the anticipated higher use at this waterfront\, observing the new neighborhood district in the nearby shoreline destinations that make connections through the site. \nYerba Buena Room: she requested clarification on the permit condition that requires a 30 foot wide segment of the bay trail where this is located\, and how long that segment is supposed to be. \nYerba Buena Room: and she also requested the addition of a drinking fountains with a bottle\, full station\, and bike repair stations within the park\, as well as a drawing depicting the locations and quantities of the Park and Bay trail amenities. \nYerba Buena Room: We also received a letter of support from Sullivan\, Houser\, Executive director of the Jack London Improvement District\, emphasizing the crucial link that this helps fill between Brooklyn Basin and Jack London Square. \nYerba Buena Room: Thank you very much. \nYerba Buena Room: Okay\, that concludes public comment. We’ll now move to board discussion and advice\, and we’ll follow the usual approach here. As you know\, we’re always \nYerba Buena Room: keeping the 7 objectives for public access in mind\, and I won’t read them\, because we know them very well. And I think we’ve already had \nYerba Buena Room: a very productive conversation with the applicants on those 7 objectives. There was the question\, though\, that the staff have asked us to consider as we discussed the project\, and and that’s whether the transitions between Channel Park and the adjacent uses\, such as the Embarcadero and Parcel M are adequate\, so that touches on some of the conversation already. \nYerba Buena Room: So would someone like to \nYerba Buena Room: lead off on our conversation. Yeah\, yeah\, I wouldn’t mind leading off if you don’t mind. Yeah\, go ahead and just \nYerba Buena Room: finish my thoughts. \nYerba Buena Room: so you know\, I’m an engineer\, and I’ve done a lot of wetland restoration. And so I kind of focused on the basin. But before I get into that I’m really happy to see a project where the bay trail is pulled back from the shore. \nYerba Buena Room: and that there’s a \nYerba Buena Room: a wetland basin excavated into the shore. I I don’t know how many times we’ve seen this\, but usually it’s the other way around. So I I really like that a lot\, and it’s nice to see. \nYerba Buena Room: So I like the design. I really like that as far as the sedimentation potential of the basin. \nYerba Buena Room: Typically\, if you have a tidal basin. \nYerba Buena Room: You expect more sedimentation than you would on the \nYerba Buena Room: shore\, or the perimeter of a site that’s \nYerba Buena Room: got higher hydraulic activity\, like waves and tidal currents and stuff like that. And this is because \nYerba Buena Room: well\, and also the so the basin’s calmer\, and then you also the water that flows into the basin has more calm what we call residence time. \nYerba Buena Room: and so the sediment that’s in suspension\, the estrine sediment\, the vines\, like the clays and the silts\, tend to have. They have longer to kind of settle \nYerba Buena Room: and quiet water settle down in deposit. \nYerba Buena Room: and so you have more of the suspended sediment depositing. \nYerba Buena Room: and then. So I would actually expect sedimentation in the Basin is where I’m going now. \nYerba Buena Room: I don’t really see that as a problem\, because\, especially with sea level rise\, because then\, if anything\, your site grade will just go up with sea level rise. Depending on it all depends on the suspended sediment concentrations that you have \nYerba Buena Room: and then it depends on the existing depth and the size of the basin and all these other things. \nYerba Buena Room: and I think that if you’re around mean higher high water and lower with any kind of slope you’re likely to get emergent \nYerba Buena Room: saltwater of vegetation\, cord\, grass\, pickle weed going to sawgrass\, whatever. \nYerba Buena Room: I’m not sure the salinities here. I think they’re probably pretty salty\, but to the extent that you have some drainage swales\, and it’s a little more brackish. You might get something like a Thule\, or more like a bulrush\, maybe. \nYerba Buena Room: But anyway\, my point is\, those are all good things\, I think\, and I’m not sure why they would be objectionable. I think you could still have the water coming in and out\, and there would probably. Still\, it’s nice to have channels excavated. \nYerba Buena Room: I think that’s the right thing to do. \nYerba Buena Room: I would tend to recommend providing. \nYerba Buena Room: making sure you’re providing enough width a big enough gap for the Channel\, especially if it’s a little bigger than a tidal marsh\, because you’re going to get a little more water going in and out. \nYerba Buena Room: and it’s better to avoid the scour around sharp edges. It’s a little more stable\, and if it’s a low energy environment it’ll be fine. You don’t need to squeeze it with the rocks and stuff like that. \nYerba Buena Room: or walls. So I would actually recommend that you have somebody look at the \nYerba Buena Room: at the guidance on on these wetland restoration\, or try to understand what the equilibrium of the project will look like. \nYerba Buena Room: Look at this\, the set of suspended sediment concentrations\, and there’s some guidance \nYerba Buena Room: that if you have enough suspended sediment\, you can look at some regression curves applied your morphology regression curves that relate the size of the basin \nYerba Buena Room: to \nYerba Buena Room: the area of the Channel\, the channel sizes and all those types of things. And there’s the \nYerba Buena Room: San Francisco Bay\, tidal Wetland Restoration guidelines that were put together by Philip Williams and associates some years ago. And they’re widely available on the Internet. And they have all these curves and wra probably contributed to those years ago. But anyway\, I just want to say I think it’s great\, and I wouldn’t be afraid of some vegetation. \nYerba Buena Room: I don’t know what adaptive management\, because once the vegetation establishes\, you’re probably not going to be able to get rid of it from a regulatory standpoint\, but I don’t know why you would. Actually\, I think it’s it’ll be nice. So \nYerba Buena Room: I just felt like I should say that as somebody that’s done Wetland Restoration for about 40 years in in the bay. Quite a bit. \nYerba Buena Room: But I also really thank \nYerba Buena Room: you for the design where you actually have a basin\, and you pull the darn \nYerba Buena Room: they trail a little inland so people can enjoy that that natural space. I think that’s going to be really nice. \nYerba Buena Room: So that’s that’s all I have. \nYerba Buena Room: Yeah\, no\, thank you both. That’s \nYerba Buena Room: very\, very well said\, thank you. \nYerba Buena Room: Comments from others. Kristen. \nYerba Buena Room: Well\, yeah\, I just am sort of embarrassed to say. I just went to Brooklyn Basin for the 1st time this morning to check out the site. \nYerba Buena Room: And it was amazing. It’s beautiful. There’s so many people. It was there at 7 30 in the morning. There’s people out rollerblading and walking their dogs. And it just was a really wonderful experience. And it’s sort of really an act of vision to imagine that such a vibrant\, wonderful neighborhood could be built in such a tough location \nYerba Buena Room: next to the freeway and sort of separated by these tracks and all of the obstacles there. And so I just want to commend you all for having built such a wonderful place that really felt exciting and special\, and I’m sure on a sunny day and not a foggy morning it’s even \nYerba Buena Room: it’s even better. \nYerba Buena Room: and I just I was as I was looking at this plan\, I’m I’m understanding the desire for this kind of natural counterpoint juxtaposition to the kind of more hardscape really active township commons. And I think that this is a plan where the planting really matters\, and we’re not seeing the level of planting at this level of design. And so without that \nYerba Buena Room: when I read this it. \nYerba Buena Room: I’m struggling to see the sort of clarity of the hierarchy. There’s sort of a lot of winding paths that feel without the sort of planting or the topography. It sort of feels like they’re sort of arbitrarily meandering \nYerba Buena Room: and intersecting. Can I jump in? Yeah\, the previous presentation had a lot more detail on the planting and the strategy\, if you like\, for the secondary path systems and \nYerba Buena Room: grading relationships. So so that’s there. I’m just it’s there. And Gary\, you know\, responded on some of the planting great points. Yeah\, it’s not from today’s presentation. Those details are not clear. Right? But there was. \nYerba Buena Room: you know\, I thought\, quite a thoughtful yes\, and and quite convincing. The the designers\, I think\, are approaching it very appropriately for this sort of \nYerba Buena Room: for the ambition of the project. Great? Yeah. \nYerba Buena Room: That’s great. Then the only other comment that I had was \nYerba Buena Room: I’m from the renderings and from the plan. The parking feels very visible. I don’t know if there’s a strategy there about planting that would kind of help \nYerba Buena Room: hide it away a little bit more it just for a desire to be in this natural place. It feels like\, you know\, in the renderings everywhere you look. There’s cars still\, and I am understand. You know cars are always the hardest part of any plan. And understanding that it’s an existing bioswale\, and that that may not be a great place for parking. \nYerba Buena Room: I would just encourage you to think about more ways of kind of making that parking feel less present\, particularly in the central part of the plan. I think once you’re out on this sort of the nose out there that goes towards estuary that could feel like a very lovely kind of removed space. And I think that’s what people are looking for when they’re looking for natural. This sort of like away from cars specifically \nYerba Buena Room: And then the the just. The last other point is\, you know\, this artist community next door? I could anticipate. There might be some friction between \nYerba Buena Room: that community and a new development. But I actually think that that identity there is really interesting. And if there’s ways to kind of integrate the quirkiness and the arts into this space\, that that might be an interesting opportunity to kind of help give it a unique identity like how township Commons brings in the history of that space. Maybe there’s an opportunity here to add this overlay of kind of the quirky artistic \nYerba Buena Room: community. \nYerba Buena Room: Just a thought. \nYerba Buena Room: Yeah. \nYerba Buena Room: And I think that’s that’s a that’s an excellent point\, because it is a very interesting place next door\, despite them\, not wanting to participate in the development. Stefan\, any comments? \nYerba Buena Room: I just wanna say I I appreciate the \nYerba Buena Room: way that you approached responding to the previous review. I think that it is very helpful \nYerba Buena Room: to sort of address the Board’s comments in this way. \nYerba Buena Room: I’m sort of fixated on this. \nYerba Buena Room: The question that you’re asked. You’ve asked at the end. So I’m going to try to say \nYerba Buena Room: something about this that maybe makes sense. \nYerba Buena Room: Is that the way I understand it because of the existing multimodal infrastructure that’s along the embarcadero is that the primary access from the San Antonio side of Lake Merritt is via the 5th Avenue underpass. \nYerba Buena Room: and for those folks the primary entrance until \nYerba Buena Room: the Laney College flyover is built\, which we know is sometime between the future and \nYerba Buena Room: right it\, so that the access is at this new 4th Avenue intersection which has been constructed and which this park will now allow \nYerba Buena Room: folks to basically get to the Bay via that point. \nYerba Buena Room: So that means that from the San Antonio side\, right? I \nYerba Buena Room: there’s a spot in the middle along the number 9 additional alignments where I really \nYerba Buena Room: I can’t make a southbound connection in that location\, because I can’t cross the embarcadero directly at at. There’s no intersection there. \nYerba Buena Room: right? I can cross 5th Avenue or 4th Avenue\, but where the Number 9 connection comes up \nYerba Buena Room: there is no intersection there. \nYerba Buena Room: So for folks coming from 5th Avenue they need to be able to stay on the north side of Embarcadero \nYerba Buena Room: and go to the 4th Avenue intersection \nYerba Buena Room: in order to get into the Park. That suggests that maybe most of the \nYerba Buena Room: multimodal traffic on the number 9 alignment is actually northbound \nYerba Buena Room: because it’s that’s really a write in. Write out access off of embarcadero for for pedestrians and bicyclists. \nYerba Buena Room: All of that points to a question about should there be enhanced multimodal \nYerba Buena Room: access on the front of parcel M. \nYerba Buena Room: And \nYerba Buena Room: that’s kind of a question in my mind\, because\, again\, the 5th Avenue community is just providing a sidewalk \nYerba Buena Room: ideally\, you would make that connection across both of those properties on the water side. \nYerba Buena Room: Of the embarcadero. But that’s \nYerba Buena Room: that is sort of a question in my mind is\, if there was a \nYerba Buena Room: future condition of approval that you would put on parcel\, M. Maybe it’s about the \nYerba Buena Room: access on along the the pedestrian access along the the embarcadero frontage that would allow for \nYerba Buena Room: that frontage to be used bidirectionally as opposed to \nYerba Buena Room: It’s that’s it’s just eastbound. \nYerba Buena Room: It’s just an eastbound connection on that side of the roadway right now for for bicycles. \nYerba Buena Room: Stefan\, just to to make sure it’s what I understand what you’re saying. So you would suggest that \nYerba Buena Room: and this is I I when you say multimodal\, pedestrian and bicycle. So \nYerba Buena Room: you know\, in you would potentially have a wider\, a wider sidewalk\, I mean in theory\, the bay trail. \nYerba Buena Room: you know\, following a bay trail approach width so that the bay trail\, you know you get that. Yeah\, if I talk about sort of looking at this diagram\, right. The the 5th Avenue intersection is off this diagram. Yeah\, right? It’s it’s below it to the south. But that is the prime. Right now. The 5th Avenue \nYerba Buena Room: connection under the highway is the primary connection to the San Antonio side of Lake Merritt. All that that whole neighborhood access to the waterfront goes through the 5th Avenue. \nYerba Buena Room: I mean that is\, that is the point of least resistance for that neighborhood to to connect. \nYerba Buena Room: It’s right there in the middle of of this drawing \nYerba Buena Room: right? So I can. There’s a very well designed intersection there. I can come down there. \nYerba Buena Room: I can find my way down 5th Avenue\, but I can’t get to. \nYerba Buena Room: There’s no public access to the water at the bottom. This project will open up public access at the 4th Avenue \nYerba Buena Room: intersection to the north\, slash west\, left hand side of this drawing. \nYerba Buena Room: but where this Number 9 access comes out I cannot. I can’t cross the embarcadero in that location \nYerba Buena Room: right? So if I’m coming from the neighborhood\, I really need to go down. Be of the \nYerba Buena Room: Via the 4th Avenue connection. That’s that’s why I really need to be comfortable to doing\, because it’s really not safe for me to cross at the number 9 connection. There’s no intersection there for me to do that. I can cross it fit that. \nYerba Buena Room: Yeah. \nYerba Buena Room: right? And I can cross the 5th Avenue. But then I’m on the sidewalk right? Right? Which is maybe not ideal. I mean it’s possible\, but it’s not ideal. And then when I come out on the number 9\, section \nYerba Buena Room: right? If I’m traveling east west on Embarcadero\, I can get in on the Number 9 piece. \nYerba Buena Room: But if I’m coming out of there I need to be able to travel either up to the 5th Avenue intersection or to the left \nYerba Buena Room: to get up to the 5th Avenue intersection in order to to get back into the neighborhood. \nYerba Buena Room: So all of us\, I don’t know if I’m I’m telling this\, but it raises a question about the frontage parcel. M. \nYerba Buena Room: Because a parcel M is improved to the condition\, that is. \nYerba Buena Room: But both of those parcels in a future development situation \nYerba Buena Room: probably need more pedestrian and bicycle frontage \nYerba Buena Room: along embarcadero. And in my mind that is\, it doesn’t have to be solved by this project. But it’s this question. It raises this question about the future design condition of parcel M. \nYerba Buena Room: Well\, and it also \nYerba Buena Room: should apply to the parcel which is not part of the development and didn’t want to be. But ultimately the frontage to that parcel that you know\, you would hope that there’s a an ultimate \nYerba Buena Room: aim. Yeah\, how that would be handled as well. Yeah. And then the other piece of that right is that if the connection on the water side \nYerba Buena Room: of Number 9 of the number 9 alignment. If that actually also happens\, then that it sort of lessens the pressure of correct. Because then I can. I can go. What I want to do is to be able to just go straight to the water on my path right? I don’t want to have to cross. \nYerba Buena Room: Yeah\, another intersection\, and we can go straight to the water. And then I can choose to go left or right. So that that is also something that we can’t determine when or if that will ever happen so again\, it just raises this question. \nYerba Buena Room: It doesn’t. I do not. I’m I’m trying to sort of go back to answering the question that’s in the \nYerba Buena Room: staff report. I don’t believe that this project needs to deal with this\, but it raises the question about what? How we deal with parcel M in the future. \nYerba Buena Room: That makes sense. \nYerba Buena Room: yeah. And I think the discussion here. I think you know\, our role is to provide advice on you know how\, especially for for staff. You know\, for because they are dealing with these issues on a daily basis. So \nYerba Buena Room: I think we should be clear that you know the at \nYerba Buena Room: someone needs to be thinking about the you know the length of the the treatment. Sorry the treatment of that cross section on the looking at this drawing on the south side of the embarcadero. It’s really not South\, but and you know\, and how it will ultimately connect between 5th and 4.th And you know what’s optimal in terms of \nYerba Buena Room: accommodating the Bay trail connection and the sense of how public the Bay trail is to. Yeah. \nYerba Buena Room: You mind if I jump in. Yeah\, I mean\, I think one of the challenges of these large master plan projects is that they? \nYerba Buena Room: We sort of look to them to solve all of the problems. \nYerba Buena Room: When this is I. I agree with you\, Jacinda. This is a a connection that’s being \nYerba Buena Room: frustrated by the existing parcel there. \nYerba Buena Room: and I would imagine that that parcel is required to provide bay access just like everyone else along the shoreline is. And so I think. \nYerba Buena Room: asking this number 9 connection\, as we’re calling it to in some ways calling it a bay trail connection on the plan isn’t really \nYerba Buena Room: there. It’s like an interim. It’s a connector to the bay trail. It’s not really part of the bay trail. \nYerba Buena Room: and I think\, looking\, because 5th Street is a public street. You can go down it to the waterfront if you like\, and I’m not sure I actually didn’t see if there was a fence or anything that would block the access to the North\, let’s call it \nYerba Buena Room: to the to the west\, but I mean\, I don’t \nYerba Buena Room: think that that personally\, I think that that problem \nYerba Buena Room: shouldn’t have to be solved by this plan. \nYerba Buena Room: Yeah\, I think we’re saying the same thing. Okay. \nYerba Buena Room: yeah. I mean? The question was\, Oh\, okay. \nYerba Buena Room: well\, and I think maybe just to be a if I can just jump in on this to be a little more\, maybe \nYerba Buena Room: to dial it back to the project. You know it was very helpful to see the 2\, and if you wouldn’t mind if you could just show us those 2 illustrations of perspectives at the 2 connection points that were in your presentation. \nYerba Buena Room: So this\, I mean\, I think\, one thing that we \nYerba Buena Room: discussed last time. And\, Kristen\, you brought it up tonight as well is the sense of publicness\, and you know openness. And you know that that parking lot that you can see those cars in that. \nYerba Buena Room: People who are thinking about coming to the park actually \nYerba Buena Room: can determine that there are some parking spaces in there. So you can see that in this illustration that you can see the cars\, and I think that’s very helpful\, because it is in the\, you know\, embedded in the site a little. I think the thing that struck me\, and and even in this sorry before I jump to that\, you can see some indication of some of the the grading\, the birming\, you know\, to the right\, but the \nYerba Buena Room: the the visibility\, if you like\, of the park\, is is very good. At this entrance. This doesn’t. It’s not. The shot is obviously not taken showing the connection to the road. But if we go to the other perspective \nYerba Buena Room: you know. I just think. \nYerba Buena Room: I think that there’s we had the conversation about. Would this be an Eva? And we’ve had the conversation that ideally\, you would connect across water\, so we won’t revisit all of that. But but I think the \nYerba Buena Room: as the team is detailing this up further particularly\, you know what will be project entry signage that would go into both of these. You know the the previous perspective\, and possibly this\, you know\, naming the project and just the relationship to bay trail signage. \nYerba Buena Room: you know I would \nYerba Buena Room: if if this is not an Eva you know\, I think there should be a couple of bollards there to just make it really clear that to a vehicle that they’re not meant to drive down the you know the \nYerba Buena Room: the bay trail and you know\, maybe they’re \nYerba Buena Room: Ballards that\, you know can be unlocked\, you know\, in an emergency. But I mean that I think that for me the thing that was very critical and helpful to see this. And I really appreciate you all producing these 2 perspectives\, because \nYerba Buena Room: you know\, what you can see here is that there is some which we talked about last time. You know\, there is some space being devoted to planting. \nYerba Buena Room: and I really appreciate that illustration. I just think that there’s further the detailing of this\, the connection\, the sense of \nYerba Buena Room: clarity around\, you know\, public access here. \nYerba Buena Room: you know\, could could be a little further enhanced. You know the the trail sign\, is there? \nYerba Buena Room: But there could be something more if we flip back to the previous \nYerba Buena Room: one\, you know the I mean. Similarly\, I presume this is because it is the \nYerba Buena Room: 4th Street entrance. I’m sure there will be some you know more signage there. But \nYerba Buena Room: my primary concern at the last. Our primary concern at the last review was that \nYerba Buena Room: you know\, people really know that this is public space\, and to come in and be welcomed\, you know\, as into the Park\, because when you have a lot of buildings there. \nYerba Buena Room: sometimes it’s a little unclear \nYerba Buena Room: but Kristen to your point. The other phases of the development have made. The relationships are all working very well\, so you would expect this. This should \nYerba Buena Room: I found these very helpful. So\, as far as you know\, just being a little. \nYerba Buena Room: very just\, very practical about this. \nYerba Buena Room: I think the project is\, is has is demonstrating to us that you know the maximum feasible amount of of attention\, or given the given the space constraints\, I think the \nYerba Buena Room: treatment of the landscape. \nYerba Buena Room: the approach to signage which could be a little more enhanced\, and you know the actual connection\, safety\, and so on\, is\, is \nYerba Buena Room: is looking good\, Tom\, what do you think you think I should talk? \nYerba Buena Room: Only if you \nYerba Buena Room: sorry I jumped in and I missed. I always get lost. Sorry\, Tom. Feel like I’ve already gone on too long. \nYerba Buena Room: I just have really simple comments. Can we go back to the plan? \nYerba Buena Room: The the parkland? \nYerba Buena Room: Yep\, so. \nYerba Buena Room: I feel like within the con context of this application. And what this applicant can do and can’t do\, they’ve done what they can do\, and I totally agree with everything that is being recognized and understood about how to make it better alone. \nYerba Buena Room: embarcadero. But this can only do certain things\, and so I really feel like \nYerba Buena Room: we shouldn’t\, you know\, stand in the way of this any further on the issue of the design of the bay trail. I think these have been really been smoothed out to make the approach \nYerba Buena Room: work better\, and both there at the 4 and 3\, but also at 8. Hairpin is gone\, and I also feel that? Does it matter \nYerba Buena Room: whether the little lagoon silts up or not? It’ll be something positive\, and sea level rise will do its thing\, and it’s going to migrate\, and in whatever way it needs to\, but it will continue to be a natural resource with a dynamic nature to it that’s influenced by \nYerba Buena Room: seawater\, and and habitat\, so forth. So I just \nYerba Buena Room: I don’t have anything to say except that I just support what we got here. Yes. \nYerba Buena Room: Tom\, I’m glad you brought that up because I think the response\, the applicants response to the bay trail alignment and the geometry is really good. It looks great. So\, and one last thing that what everybody was saying about about \nYerba Buena Room: this applicant is important\, I think\, because\, you don’t know what’s going to happen with regard to parcel M. Or the thing next door. But I think it’s it’s proven that there’s a trustworthy player \nYerba Buena Room: at work here. You don’t have to worry. There’s something. \nYerba Buena Room: Bizarro. Things gonna happen\, I think. And that’s the benefit of the whatever does happen in the future\, they’re responsible. But yeah\, that’s it. Yeah. \nYerba Buena Room: Great. Okay? Well\, I think that concludes our comments. \nYerba Buena Room: Does the project team want to say anything at this point? \nYerba Buena Room: But \nYerba Buena Room: well\, thank you for your comments. I think we had some direction that we can respond to. And we’re looking forward to moving this project forward. \nYerba Buena Room: I think just I don’t want to draw this out \nYerba Buena Room: too far\, but I think a couple of comments that really stand out for me from the board\, and I think are generally supported\, is\, you know\, we really want to see this project happen. The design is very good. It’s an appropriate\, I mean\, I’m actually really excited to see a design with this intention to\, you know\, produce a very natural area in this \nYerba Buena Room: part of Oakland. I think it’ll be an incredible draw for people \nYerba Buena Room: so great job on the design. \nYerba Buena Room: I think\, the other comment that Kristen made. You know we are really \nYerba Buena Room: enthusiastic to see housing go ahead in the in the bay. So. You know. I hope. Parcel M. Moves ahead quickly as well. And \nYerba Buena Room: I think that’s it. I won’t reiterate the other comments that have been made all worthwhile. But \nYerba Buena Room: I just want to ask the Board whether you would like to. \nYerba Buena Room: with. Just let the project move ahead with the staff and the proponent working together from now on. \nYerba Buena Room: Great\, that’s I’m hearing a yes from everybody. So \nYerba Buena Room: that’s good. Okay? Well\, I think with that we move to the briefing of the San Francisco Baywater Trail Project. \nYerba Buena Room: So that concludes that for all of you. \nYerba Buena Room: thank you very much. Yeah. Yep. \nYerba Buena Room: Give us a second to transition here. \nYerba Buena Room: There’s something. \nYerba Buena Room: Okay. \nYerba Buena Room: Okay. I shall wait. \nYerba Buena Room: Little rare room and a half like you doing. \nYerba Buena Room: It’s okay. So we’re reconvening here \nYerba Buena Room: for a briefing of the San Francisco Water Trail program\, which is agenda. Item 6. \nYerba Buena Room: And just to remind you of how this will go\, the Bcdc. Staff presentation will occur. 1st \nYerba Buena Room: we’ll have board clarifying questions to the staff public comment \nYerba Buena Room: from folks\, and then that will be it. So\, I think. With that\, let’s I’ll ask Yuri to introduce the project. \nYerba Buena Room: Thank you. Okay. \nYerba Buena Room: Good evening. Chair. Mccannan. Members of the Design Review Board. My name is Yuri Jewett\, the associate. \nYerba Buena Room: Oh\, hold on. Okay\, the Associate Bay Design analyst here at Bcdc. And tonight I am joined by Shalini Kanan from the State Coastal Conservancy\, and she and I are going to tell you all about the San Francisco Bay Water Trail program. \nYerba Buena Room: So our roadmap for this evening is I’m going to kick it off and go over some of the basics of a water trail\, and then we’re going to do a deep dive into the planning process that went into creating the program. And then I’m going to pass it on to Shalini\, who will speak more about implementation and give you a peek of our new signage program and next steps. \nYerba Buena Room: So water trails are not exactly a new idea. There are many of them all throughout the United States\, and have proven to be an important vehicle for promoting water\, oriented recreation for citizens of all economic means. Water trails can inform the public about natural\, cultural and historic features and foster public stewardship of these resources\, and they can aid urban renewal in industrial waterfronts as you’ve seen today. \nYerba Buena Room: And so wait a minute. \nYerba Buena Room: Something happened. \nYerba Buena Room: Okay? Sorry. But \nYerba Buena Room: but let’s focus on the San Francisco Bay and our water trail\, which is a network of launching and landing sites around the 9 County Bay area and not for non-motorized small boats. \nYerba Buena Room: These little red dots represent both existing as well as planned water trail sites\, and\, to be clear\, there’s no actual trail in the water. I like to kind of think of it as sort of a free form. Nonlinear. Choose your own adventure kind of trail. You can use these launch sites to follow along the shoreline\, or cross across the or cross over to the other side of the bay. I mean\, it’s completely up to you\, but the key is that it allows you \nYerba Buena Room: access and enjoy one of the largest open spaces that we have\, which is the bay itself. \nYerba Buena Room: So you heard me mention the term non-motorized small boats\, which is exactly what it sounds like. It’s a human powered or wind powered vessel\, and is a key part of what makes a water trail site. Non-motorized small boats basically means kayaks stand up paddle boards\, dragon boards\, kiteboards. All the watercrafts you basically see here on this slide fall into that non-motorized small boat category. \nYerba Buena Room: So I just want to recognize that it’s been a while since the water trail has come to the board\, and I thought. We take a sort of Bcdc’s deep involvement during the early days in the creation of the water trail. And I want to highlight that one thing that makes our water trail so special is that it was born out of community advocacy. A small group of citizens called Bay Access\, Inc. Voiced the need for more access to the bay and partnered with Senator Lonnie Hancock to adopt Ab. 1296\, the San Francisco Bay Water Trail act back in 2\,005. \nYerba Buena Room: This legislation\, then included in Bcdc’s and State Coastal Conservancy laws\, but it specifically outlined that Bcdc. Would lead the charge to create a steering committee and develop the water trail plan\, which is sort of serves as our North star to guide the Coastal Conservancy’s implementation of the program. \nYerba Buena Room: This is the Bcdc. Part of the story. As we really held a lot of public meetings\, workshops\, we wrote many\, many white papers to explore and analyze how to provide this network of unique public access in the bay. All of this effort then\, led to the certification of the programmatic Environmental impact report and the final water trail plan known as the Enhanced Water Trail Plan\, which is still in place today to guide the implementation of the program. \nYerba Buena Room: So again\, the law was passed in 2\,005\, and finally\, through all of this planning effort here at Bcdc. Coastal Conservancy\, Mtcabag\, and the Department of Boating Waterways\, and of course\, the public. \nYerba Buena Room: the 1st water trail site was designated into the program in 2012 at\, can anyone guess the 1st designated site? Just curious. No\, okay. \nYerba Buena Room: thought I tried. It was at Tidewater Boat Center\, in East Oakland\, which is a really great\, great\, great spot I highly recommend for you guys to check it out. It is part of the East Bay Regional Park system. And today this is still a very popular site launch\, and that supports a diverse population in East Oakland. So really recommend that you guys go check that one out. \nYerba Buena Room: But there’s actually more \nYerba Buena Room: So let’s see. Again\, my notes are crazy. \nYerba Buena Room: Okay. \nYerba Buena Room: I’m missing one. Okay? So so as we continue to implement the program\, there were sort of other guiding documents that we relied on. One of them was the Water Trail accessibility\, accessibility plan that we adopted in 2015 or sorry. The Coastal Commission created in 2015 the lovely Ashley Tomlin worked on that document. It’s lovely. Recommend that you look at it. And then\, after the accessibility plan\, we also developed some design guidelines. And basically the accessibility \nYerba Buena Room: plan and the design guide sort of work together to really sort of help shape what these launch sites look like. I mean\, as designers. You know that landslide improvements are really important\, right? I mean\, you can’t just design a launch in the water. It’s like\, is it an urban location? \nYerba Buena Room: You know\, like restrooms parking all the things that we think about are sort of in that design guidelines document. And that’s something that Ashley and I use to review when we\, as applications come to us. So I do want to mention that. And then\, lastly\, of course\, there’s a regional shoreline adaptation plan that was just adopted by the Commission in 2024\, and the water trail is actually contemplated as being sort of a asset\, like a part of the public act. \nYerba Buena Room: Public access program for the sub regional plans\, and the water trail is mentioned as a possible asset. So something at the very early planning stage to consider the water trail as part of your design is starting to be sort of contemplated\, and that’s a lovely thing. \nYerba Buena Room: So I’m just going to end here and just say\, you know of all this planning a lot of times when you do a planning presentation\, you start with the vision at the beginning\, and I just kind of wanted to put it at the end. Because what’s really interesting is that this started in 2\,005. And here we are 20 years later\, and this vision hasn’t changed at all. It’s really strong. So \nYerba Buena Room: you know\, to preserve and strategically enhance access. I mean\, we really want to respect the bay as an open space\, and\, you know\, including all the wildlife and habitat and all the creatures that live here\, plan for future growth\, to explore ways\, to increase water. Oriented recreation is part of our changing shoreline\, and as our notes\, you know\, it is going to change. And so we want to be a part of that \nYerba Buena Room: promote safety and environmental education. Spreading the word about the water trail as best we can. Shalini is actually going to touch up touch upon a new signage program. So learn more about that. And then\, lastly\, increase funding to create opportunities for all the program has a core mission to support inclusive design and continues to find creative ways to fund that work. So\, and that’s when I’m going to pass it on appropriately to Shalini\, who’s going to talk about implementation of the water trail and funding. \nYerba Buena Room: Hi\, everyone. So \nYerba Buena Room: the water trail program gets implemented in 3 key pathways. We have planning and partnerships\, facilities and grants and outreach and education. \nYerba Buena Room: This program crosses the 9 counties of the Bay area\, and it’s fully voluntary. So it requires really good partnerships with a lot of different stakeholders that have been cultivated over multiple years by the project management team. \nYerba Buena Room: Me and Yuri haven’t been on it the entire time\, but we build on the trust established by the earlier project management team members. And this is actually like a key challenge and important feature of the water trail. There’s a lot of staffing changes at our agencies\, as well as all of the partner agencies that manage the sites. But having everybody on board and in the loop is so essential for the program success. \nYerba Buena Room: This is our organization model. We have the project management team made up of 3 agencies\, the State Coastal Conservancy\, Bcdc. And San Francisco estuary partnership\, which is a part of Abag or Mtc. \nYerba Buena Room: And our small core group meets regularly and really moves forward the water trail. We plan implementation meetings that are public meetings held by annually right now\, and at those meetings we invite in our advisory committee and stakeholder group. \nYerba Buena Room: They really provide a lot of guidance on trailhead designation and other implementation issues. And when we want to designate a trailhead. \nYerba Buena Room: the Advisory Committee is the voting members that will \nYerba Buena Room: vote to designate a site. \nYerba Buena Room: And lastly\, we have the site managers like I mentioned. It’s a voluntary distributed \nYerba Buena Room: management of the site. So various site managers operate the sites according to their own standards\, and are part of our part of the network. \nYerba Buena Room: To make the water trail happen. \nYerba Buena Room: The process of site designation is how we adopt the launch or landing into our network. And this map here is what you’ll find on our website with all those points marking the designated sites. And this is a little bit about what that process is like. First\, st the site owner or manager expresses interest in the designation of a launch site. \nYerba Buena Room: and then the Water Trail Water Trial Staff. That’s us assemble a Site description report. \nYerba Buena Room: And this report will have information on location\, photos and maps\, ownership and management information\, information on what type of launch it is. Description of the facilities and accessibility for people with disabilities\, proximity to other water trail sites as well as wildlife and habitat considerations and safety information. \nYerba Buena Room: We’ll review and discuss these at our implementation meetings with the advisory committee\, and then folks discuss and vote \nYerba Buena Room: for a conditional designation that might have conditions like minor site improvements\, or adding in putting in the signage that marks that it’s a water trail site. And then\, once those conditions are met\, they’re finally designated. \nYerba Buena Room: and of course\, the designation benefits the water trail. But what’s in it for the sites? One key thing is that being part of the water trail network allows them to be eligible for our grants. \nYerba Buena Room: I’ll go into grants a little bit more later. We also provide educational and wayfinding signage and include sites on our website maps and outreach materials\, so that more people from the Bay Area’s public and beyond know about these sites and come to use them. So really helps with usership. \nYerba Buena Room: Next\, I’ll go into facilities and grants \nYerba Buena Room: the second pathway of program implementation. So we give grants for launches and landings that will become designated sites\, or that already are designated sites. \nYerba Buena Room: and by providing funding we can encourage implementation of facilities that contribute to the goals of our network. So we want to make sure they are accessible to a variety of people\, and for a variety of types of uses like different water sports require different amenities. We also want to have different habitat types like more urban settings as well as more natural wetland settings. \nYerba Buena Room: and we also have a goal of having overnight options approximately every 8 miles\, so that people can plan multi-day trips. That’s something that we could definitely keep working on \nYerba Buena Room: and our team also provides technical assistance and guidance to help site designers plan their \nYerba Buena Room: plan\, their water trail site. And we really use those documents that Yuri mentioned\, like the accessibility guidelines and the site design guidelines. \nYerba Buena Room: And \nYerba Buena Room: at the bottom of this slide on the left you’ll see an example of an improvement that was funded with a water trail. Grant. \nYerba Buena Room: Just really\, briefly\, I’ll touch on some of the grants we give. The State Coastal Conservancy gives grants on a rolling basis. You can reach out to me. If you want to talk about that. \nYerba Buena Room: My info is here and will be on the last slide as well\, and the Conservancy has a strategic plan goal around the water trail because it’s a regional trail\, and so funding improvements to the water trail is a priority of ours\, though \nYerba Buena Room: what we can fund always depends on the fund sources that are authorized to us by the legislature. So right now we have funding from proposition. 4. So that’s the climate bond and tie-ins to climate resilience projects make projects more competitive. So when a launcher landing is part of a broader climate\, resilience \nYerba Buena Room: project or plan that’ll make it more competitive. \nYerba Buena Room: And then Sfvp \nYerba Buena Room: under a bag or Mtc. Has the priority conservation area grant program and the water trail is a designated priority conservation area in the Bay area. And that means it’s that any water trail projects are eligible for funding under this grant program\, and they have a grant round every year that will open up in Fall 2025\, and our colleague Ben\, who’s the other representative on the project management team from Sfep. He leads that grant program. So his contact info is here\, too. \nYerba Buena Room: We also like to share any grant opportunities we know of that are not led by our own agencies. So this is one that can fund water trail types of improvements from the California Department Division of boating and waterways for non-motorized boat launching facilities. And here’s just some more information on the grant. But I won’t go into it. \nYerba Buena Room: The 3rd component of the water trails. Successful implementation is education and outreach\, and \nYerba Buena Room: the water trail really provides access to the bay\, which is our largest open space\, and a goal of ours is really for more people to know about and to access the bay. \nYerba Buena Room: Our biggest resource for the public is our website\, sfawatertrail.org. A lot of people find this as they Google for \nYerba Buena Room: kayak or paddle board information in the bay. And we have a great map here that there was a picture of on an earlier slide. There’s also information on each of the trailheads. If you click on the point on the map\, you can learn a lot of details on what each site entails safety information\, things to look out for details on\, like parking accessibility. How far you have to go from the parking lot. If there’s bathrooms\, other facilities\, etc. \nYerba Buena Room: We also have information on trip ideas and lists of local boating clubs and outfitters where you can rent \nYerba Buena Room: gear or go on tours. \nYerba Buena Room: Yuri foreshadowed to this before. But this past year a big effort of ours has been refreshing our signage program. \nYerba Buena Room: Every water trail site has an interpretive sign as well as a wayfinding sign. And this is also a key form of outreach\, as a lot of people might only hear from the water trail by seeing this sign and then wondering what is that and looking it up. \nYerba Buena Room: So this is this plays a key role in spreading the word about the water trail signage is also required by our Eir as a mitigation measure to offset potential impacts related to safety and wildlife disturbances. So we provide information on safety and wildlife disturbances on the signage. \nYerba Buena Room: And this is the new signage. On the left is the wayfinding sign. We’ve inverted the colors. So it’s a little more bold. We worked with the consultant team. That did a great job\, we think. \nYerba Buena Room: And here’s an example of the interpretive panel. \nYerba Buena Room: So on the last version that you may have seen out and about in the bay. There wasn’t as much site specific information. So we wanted to bring that in. In this version each sign will have some site specific information as \nYerba Buena Room: highlighted in that light blue section with those \nYerba Buena Room: orange icons to draw attention to some safety features or safety information for each site. \nYerba Buena Room: And at the top we have a QR code as well. That links to our water trail website where there is all that information that can help people as they plan their trips. \nYerba Buena Room: And then at the bottom\, we really refresh this section. The wildlife disturbance used to have like a picture of every single type of species\, and the distance you should be from them. But we realized that that was not very helpful for the public\, because it’s really hard to remember what it says when you’re actually out on the water. So we \nYerba Buena Room: had a great intern who helped us figure out better\, better messaging for wildlife disturbance. Where\, like\, we have these cute seals. And it’s a very simple message that if the wildlife’s reacting to you\, you are too close. \nYerba Buena Room: So this is our new signage that will be going out to our site managers later this year. So look out for that. \nYerba Buena Room: Another way we do. Outreach is through media. So here’s just some recent examples of media coverage of the water trail. Just yesterday we had a short feature aired on Nbc’s open road. There’s just a few minute segment on the water trail where they interviewed me\, which is exciting. You can also find it on their website. \nYerba Buena Room: Bay Nature Magazine and website wrote an article about Pacheco Marsh\, which is a recently opened \nYerba Buena Room: new restoration site with a great kayak lunch. \nYerba Buena Room: And this one’s really exciting. 2 paddlers from Point Reyes Adventure Company. Liz Wilhelm and Dallas Smith\, earlier this year\, completed what we think is the 1st ever circumnavigation of the bay by Kayak. They paddled 225 miles about 20 miles a day\, and we met with them before and after their trip to help them \nYerba Buena Room: navigate the water trail\, though they definitely brought a lot more expertise of actually being on the water than we could ever have\, and they did a great job raising awareness of the water trail. It got picked up by several media outlets\, and \nYerba Buena Room: they were a great example of the the great potential of the water trail. They got really creative about overnight accommodation\, sometimes like reaching out to Marinas and sleeping in their storage room. So not everyone can do that. But it is \nYerba Buena Room: the ultimate vision that more people can do these overnight trips and plan like a broader\, bigger adventure on the water trail. So they were inspiring for sure. \nYerba Buena Room: The last thing about outreach that we like to do is presentations and tabling. This is a presentation we’d love to do more tabling\, though we’re often limited by capacity. But in the past we have tabled at Bay day. \nYerba Buena Room: film festivals\, other festivals\, and talk to clubs and organizations. \nYerba Buena Room: So those were the 3 ways we implement the water trail\, and that’s all for our presentation. If you want to contact me\, Yuri or our colleague Ben at Sfp\, we’re the Pmt. And happy to talk more\, and also happy to take questions now\, or discussion. \nYerba Buena Room: Well\, thank you\, Shalini and and Yuri and look\, I just want to start off by saying \nYerba Buena Room: how exciting it is to hear a briefing like this. I mean\, this is \nYerba Buena Room: a really important program. You know\, a lot of the time we are talking about the Bay trail landslide. But we have so many projects where water access is part of the \nYerba Buena Room: proposal\, and I just want to applaud you and \nYerba Buena Room: your team and everyone behind you and over the years for getting the program to where it is today \nYerba Buena Room: I have a question. The \nYerba Buena Room: and I know I could look on the map and probably do this. But you said 2\,005 was\, you know\, when the \nYerba Buena Room: the water trail idea\, if you like\, started to coalesce. And \nYerba Buena Room: so how many trailheads or how many points are around the bay today? 20 years later. \nYerba Buena Room: I want to say\, there’s 52 designated sites. Yeah. So it’s actually one of the big things about the water trails like\, within the 20 year from the idea to I think it was 2022 was the last time we designated a site. So how we? And then so the water trail plan was adopted in 2011\, and then the and then 2022 was the last. It was like 10 years. We just \nYerba Buena Room: plowed full speed ahead and got over 50 sites to be designated. Yeah\, no\, it’s fantastic. And I really just congratulate you guys\, because I love the fact that it’s a sort of an organic grassroots\, you know\, multiple stakeholder \nYerba Buena Room: stakeholders that you\, you know\, communicate with plus the 3 agencies I mean. I think that’s \nYerba Buena Room: I think that’s government working at its best. To tell you the truth\, you know\, when you see a program like this. \nYerba Buena Room: you know\, with such a impactful result on the bay. So I’m glad you’re getting media attention. I’m just gonna I’m just talking. But there are more questions\, I’m sure. So\, Bob\, do you want to kick off? \nYerba Buena Room: Yeah\, I I was wondering\, do the \nYerba Buena Room: The landings have to accommodate all the different types\, because I know. So there’s you know\, kite boarders and windsurfers. And then there’s the kayakers\, and \nYerba Buena Room: there may be a little different in in how they like to get in and out of the water and \nYerba Buena Room: there may be some conflicts between the different groups depending on. \nYerba Buena Room: You know what type of location it is? So. But and so that was one question. And then I mean\, I’ll follow on\, that is\, would you fund \nYerba Buena Room: water access? That is more specific to \nYerba Buena Room: kind of kite borders and sail borders that are kind of a little more serious\, you know\, like intense about what they do. \nYerba Buena Room: to answer your 1st question. Not every site has to accommodate every type of use. We want to have a variety of uses around the bay. And \nYerba Buena Room: yeah\, it just depends on what the site presents possibilities for\, like we don’t want to exclude uses that would be possible\, like\, I think that like to maximize the types of uses\, but also understand that uses can be conflicting. So yeah\, we would fund \nYerba Buena Room: projects that have limited uses in terms of like more expert \nYerba Buena Room: users. I think it would be very situational. \nYerba Buena Room: Yeah\, I just mentioned that because sometimes they get really excited about the high winds\, and of course they’re probably in the water when \nYerba Buena Room: kayakers might not want to be necessarily in the water when the wind’s blowing really strong and stuff like that. So maybe it’s not as much of a con. I’m not a \nYerba Buena Room: I’m a regular surfer. I don’t do that other stuff\, but I know that there are people that do\, and they’re they’re looking for more access to the water. \nYerba Buena Room: That’s for sure. \nYerba Buena Room: There was a project a couple of years ago that came to you 4 10 airport\, which was one of the Brit projects. It was another one where they were carving out part of an inlet\, but it was both a site that was supporting kiteboarding and kayaking\, and that was exactly what they found was there wouldn’t be the same user conflict because those 2 user groups were using it at different conditions. Yeah. \nYerba Buena Room: that makes sense. I just wanted to add\, sort of at a high level. You know\, a lot of times the water trail site is contemplated as part of a much larger project\, with many other recreation\, you know\, amenities and things happening. So that’s where \nYerba Buena Room: the design guidelines come in quite handy\, and to address what you were just saying. You know the variety of users\, and \nYerba Buena Room: you know what happens. There is oftentimes already sort of driven by the project itself when it comes to us to be Cdc\, so think about that\, too. But yeah\, that. And we like that diversity in the bay and the accessibility plan that we worked on to does sort of address\, like sort of Geo regions throughout the bay\, and making sure that in what in each Geo. Region there is at least like maybe an accessible kayak launch in each region. So there is sort of connectivity \nYerba Buena Room: for that one user that wants to network\, you know\, throughout the using that one\, whatever vessel it is that they choose. So we try to also. Balance that as well like looking at the system as a whole. \nYerba Buena Room: Thanks. Appreciate it. \nYerba Buena Room: Thank you very much for this \nYerba Buena Room: information. I agree with everybody. It’s really exciting. \nYerba Buena Room: I have a question about advocacy\, and how you’ve worked with \nYerba Buena Room: particularly sort of private property owners in encouraging them to \nYerba Buena Room: open up to these types of water uses if the setting is appropriate. And if there’s been any sort of examples that you can just \nYerba Buena Room: recall. \nYerba Buena Room: Well\, recently\, you guys reviewed Wind River\, and that was a life science project in Alameda\, and we were really hopeful to get a water trail site and with the Design Review Board’s comments\, we were able to actually get a launch there. \nYerba Buena Room: So and another thing with a lot of the private development that’s happening throughout the bay. I would say that there is a lot of interest in water taxis and sort of kind of a Co. Like a partnership between like a water taxi\, and then we can say\, Hey\, how about a public doc\, too\, you know. So we’ve been trying to do that as well. Ashley might have a couple other examples \nYerba Buena Room: following that model Alameda landing \nYerba Buena Room: where they have the new Woodstock boat\, and then the kayak\, the yellow. Yeah\, yeah\, Woodstock \nYerba Buena Room: And then the kayak dock is a low\, free board that’s on the backside. So it’s actually still protected a little bit more from the wave action. Also Loch Lomond\, Marina in San Rafael. Don’t believe you’ve seen that\, maybe in decades\, but that’s a Marina in San Rafael that has a couple of different \nYerba Buena Room: approaches for launches\, so they have a low freeboard dock and also a boat ramp to accommodate. \nYerba Buena Room: there’s a number of marinas\, but I think the large portion of water trail sites are public entities like East Bay. Regional parks district is a big partner. \nYerba Buena Room: They tend to be parks often. Yeah\, recreation already. \nYerba Buena Room: But we do to answer your question. Yes\, we love to talk to our private folks and and see what kind of access we can get. \nYerba Buena Room: Yeah\, I have one more question. Do do you? \nYerba Buena Room: just sort of understand that you’ve been really involved with this now for a long time? Are there \nYerba Buena Room: opportunities for opening public water access in the San Francisco Bay that you are feeling \nYerba Buena Room: really strongly about? Or sort of? Are there key opportunities that \nYerba Buena Room: are useful to sort of opine on. \nYerba Buena Room: I don’t know that we’ll give you any specific sites\, but we have been hearing more from open water swimmers about increased access for that use. \nYerba Buena Room: board. Sailors are also a vocal group. As we heard from the la at the last review\, like they are particularly impacted with closure or increased intensity of use at like the limited number of launches they have available to them that meet their conditions for wind and waves that they find desirable for their own \nYerba Buena Room: level of expertise. See you. \nYerba Buena Room: Kristen. \nYerba Buena Room: thank you so much. It is very. I didn’t realize that. This has been something that you all had been working on for such a long time. \nYerba Buena Room: and it makes sense. I am a user of many of these sites\, because I paddle and I’ve started outrigger canoeing. And it’s just it’s really amazing to see the thoughtfulness that’s gone into creating what I sort of enjoyed without realizing how much thoughtfulness had gone into it. So thank you so much. I my question that I had was about \nYerba Buena Room: clubs and sort of boat storage. And I you’re mentioning the kind of desire\, for you know we know that the wing\, foiling and other sports are kind of like growing. And I just. You know\, I noticed that there’s a lot of development pressures and a lot of areas that have kind of always been \nYerba Buena Room: boat storage yards and things like that. And if you coordinate with clubs to think about \nYerba Buena Room: you know those kind of longer term\, larger boat storage facilities that might not be as public facing\, but are definitely important for the kind of more frequent intense users of these areas. \nYerba Buena Room: That’s a great question. And I will say that you know. Recently the Commission adopted India Basin Shoreline Park. So a lot of times for these sites. \nYerba Buena Room: the operator hasn’t been identified yet\, and so it’s an opportunity to sort of reach out to some of those organizations to see if they’re\, you know\, wanting to use. I know India Basin is actually for rent. They’re looking for people. A lot of. Also a lot of those book clubs are just long standing. There’s a lot of history there. They’ve been at the same site for a long time and again the advocacy is so important with the water trail\, and we listen. So \nYerba Buena Room: you know\, if there is an opportunity\, it’s a 1 good point is that\, or in the past\, as Charlie mentioned with these sort of smaller capital improvement projects\, you know\, the water trail was really good about doing funding smaller like. I mentioned the big projects\, but the little ones. The water trail program at 1 point was really good about helping funding those small types of improvements. So a club\, for example\, that maybe just wanted to do some enhancement \nYerba Buena Room: to a launch\, you know\, instead of a part of a large project could come to us if they were designated\, and then also\, just maybe a reminder that there’s hundreds of launches all throughout the bay\, I mean. In a way\, it’s like we only have 52 that are designated\, you know\, like there’s so many\, there’s so much more so. That’s kind of part of the education and outreach is to get the word out that we exist\, and people can come to us and get designated and like hopefully\, further whatever club or you know program that they’re trying to promote on the shoreline\, we can make it happen\, you know. So yeah. \nYerba Buena Room: thank you. I look forward to looking at this\, because I’m always trying to get my friends to come with me\, and if there’s some amenities that I could entice them with\, I’m gonna map out a little route where we can stop along the way and get some bites and some drinks and then \nYerba Buena Room: make it worth our while. Thank you. \nYerba Buena Room: Yeah. I’ve been witnessed in the growth this program where I live. There’s a fairy point \nYerba Buena Room: there’s a spot there\, and then there’s quite elaborate\, elaborate\, very nicely designed \nYerba Buena Room: facility. The point\, Isabel\, for for getting your \nYerba Buena Room: mouse up in the air\, you know. \nYerba Buena Room: and I hate to ask a question like this\, but I worry. And this is where the way we’re living now is anything about your funding at risk? \nYerba Buena Room: Well\, the State Coastal Conservancy is state funded. So we are okay\, and we have bond funding for now. So we still have funds. \nYerba Buena Room: And \nYerba Buena Room: I think that Sfep’s funds are also not Federal. So they still are planning to have their grant round later this year. \nYerba Buena Room: wasn’t there? But there was a big shortfall this year. The State budget wasn’t there? \nYerba Buena Room: Yeah\, we can never like\, totally predict the State’s budget. But bond funds are secured \nYerba Buena Room: regardless. Are you allowed to have private sponsors\, too? \nYerba Buena Room: We haven’t had any before\, but I think we could potentially. But it’s not really something we’ve thought about or work towards. \nYerba Buena Room: Anyway\, it’s great work\, thank you. \nYerba Buena Room: So just to clarify the 51 you’ve got the 51 designated sites. But \nYerba Buena Room: you said there are hundreds of points around the bay. I mean\, I’m just thinking about\, you know\, just not far from here\, you know Crane Cove\, for example\, which has\, you know\, a very significant access point\, I mean\, how do \nYerba Buena Room: is that a designated place? Or it is\, yeah\, yeah\, green Cove is designated. And we actually ran out of signs. Which was another reason why we wanted to get some new ones\, I see. So that’s kind of part of it. And so\, like a place like Pier 40 would be designated. You showed a slide there\, because that’s a really great\, you know\, dads. And I mean\, it’s a really great access point. So so the question I really have is. \nYerba Buena Room: do people reach out to you\, or do you reach out to them\, or is it both? \nYerba Buena Room: So the initial waterfront plan actually did contemplate a lot of these sites sort of as a possible. So sometimes\, when we get like an application for development\, Ashley and I will look at the waterfront or water trail plan and you know. See if there’s a match there? But yeah\, that was a while ago\, I mean\, in a way\, maybe we should update it. I mean\, there’s but there are quite. There’s hundreds of sites that have been \nYerba Buena Room: identified in that plan. Yeah\, I just think the more that can make it onto the website the better. I mean\, if if they meet the criteria that you have\, of course. Yeah\, yeah. \nYerba Buena Room: Okay\, well\, thank you very much for that briefing. It’s very helpful. Is there any public comment? \nYerba Buena Room: Okay\, no public comment. Okay\, thank you. \nYerba Buena Room: Good. Well\, I think that brings us to the meeting adjournment. \nYerba Buena Room: So I would like someone to pass someone to make a motion and a seconder to adjourn our meeting. \nYerba Buena Room: Look to adjourn. \nYerba Buena Room: Second\, I second\, thank you\, Bob. Okay\, the meeting is adjourned. \nYerba Buena Room: Has everybody voted to adjourn? \nYerba Buena Room: Hi\, yes\, okay. The meeting is now adjourned. Okay\, thanks very much.

Just want to check if there are comments or corrections to the board minutes\, or to the meeting summary\, I should say\, from March 10\, th and just a reminder. The March 10th \nYerba Buena SX80: Board meeting Summary was the Brooklyn Basin Channel Park\, Second Review meetings\, although it was the new design for the Park. \nYerba Buena SX80: 1st time we’d seen that\, so did anyone have any comments on the on the meeting notes. \nYerba Buena SX80: Okay\, Bob\, any comments on the \nYerba Buena SX80: I wasn’t. I wasn’t at the meeting\, so I don’t have any comments. \nYerba Buena SX80: Gary\, any comments. \nYerba Buena SX80: Yeah\, I I wrote in a little note\, Ashley. I think. It was really about \nYerba Buena SX80: 2 items things you’ve heard before that I’ve commented on. And I understand they’re sort of outside our purview. So I’m really clear on that. And the 1st one was about condominiums. On\, you know\, sites that are probably a risk more at risk of sea level rise than most than many other sites. So when you see a site that has\, you know\, specific issues. And when \nYerba Buena SX80: you know\, townhouses is going to be an important component of that project\, it always kind of raises eyebrows above among the group. But you know\, we don’t really can’t really do anything about it. And that was a real driver of the Brooklyn Basin project. I think they want to do all these great waterfront improvements\, and the only way they can get it done is by advancing these townhouses. So \nYerba Buena SX80: kind of interesting\, because when I 1st joined the board. It’s been more than 10 years\, I mean\, it was much more \nYerba Buena SX80: architecture\, urban design focused\, you know\, than it is right now. So we see a lot of our projects. There’s a landscape architect that is presenting the project and talking about the waterfront\, the pathways\, the furnishings\, and all that\, but the issues of urban design and planning and architecture are not really front and center\, like they used to be\, and I know we can’t do anything about it legally\, but it just seems like there’s no one in a better position than we are to see the issue. So you know\, I just wanted to \nYerba Buena SX80: put that on the record and see where we go from here on that on that issue. And the second was is that \nYerba Buena SX80: the site that was adjacent to Brooklyn Basin. \nYerba Buena SX80: had a grade change issue. That was\, you know\, quite extreme that there was development right up to the property line\, which caused a very awkward transition between the 2 properties\, and so we were in a position of approving the Brooklyn Basin\, knowing that somewhere down the road there’s going to be a very awkward circumstance\, and we didn’t get a very satisfactory reply on that\, and I think that the proponent could \nYerba Buena SX80: logically say\, This is it’s not our problem. It’s over the property line. But you know\, our goal is to coordinate those things. So I guess that was kind of a question\, and maybe just put it out there for comment. Is that really the end of the story on \nYerba Buena SX80: those 2 parcels which I won’t get into the details\, but it was a probably one of the more awkward adjacencies that I’ve seen since being on the board. \nYerba Buena SX80: There’s a big grade change and no property left to transition the grade change. Yeah. And I think\, Gary\, just to speak to the second issue. \nYerba Buena SX80: we did discuss the interface between the townhomes and that property line. \nYerba Buena SX80: And I think we did point out the awkward nature of that. \nYerba Buena SX80: it! I don’t think it’s captured\, perhaps as strongly in the notes as as it could be\, so \nYerba Buena SX80: you know\, I think it might be worth \nYerba Buena SX80: amending the notes. I don’t know if you’ve got any language you would like to add for that. \nYerba Buena SX80: Well\, I I think all we can really do is note that it’s an awkward adjacency\, and that if the adjacent property. If there’s really\, if that train has left the station\, then it should be accommodated on the Brooklyn Basin side in some way. You know that the side plan should be rearranged to to have a \nYerba Buena SX80: a transition? Great transition. \nYerba Buena SX80: Ashley\, do you think you can amend the notes to incorporate that. Yes\, great\, I think\, on the 1st point. \nYerba Buena SX80: Gary\, you know you have been leading the \nYerba Buena SX80: charge\, if you like\, on on this issue for some years now. And and you know this is not \nYerba Buena SX80: the core purview of our land use is not the core purview of our of our Design Review board. However\, \nYerba Buena SX80: you know\, we do have the possibility\, if we would like to to \nYerba Buena SX80: have a briefing\, maybe potentially\, to the Commission on this issue to help them \nYerba Buena SX80: be appraised of the concern\, even though it is not a policy area that Bcdc has jurisdiction over. So I think that’s something that we can talk further about\, not in this meeting\, but continue to think about ways to keep that question of. \nYerba Buena SX80: you know\, is it responsible to build housing in these vulnerable areas. \nYerba Buena SX80: Given what we know about sea level rise and and the nature of insurance and the vulnerabilities potentially of the homeowners who would buy into these projects. \nYerba Buena SX80: But I would be interested in that discussion\, even though I wasn’t at the last meeting. But I would be interested in that. Yeah\, yeah\, I mean\, it’s it’s it’s really\, I think\, the critical \nYerba Buena SX80: question there is. You know\, how? How can our Advisory Board help \nYerba Buena SX80: raise this concern\, even though it is not a policy \nYerba Buena SX80: core. It’s not a policy area that Bcdc has primary jurisdiction over. It’s\, you know\, the cities and \nYerba Buena SX80: the State to some degree. So let’s continue that dialogue outside this meeting. \nYerba Buena SX80: Is that okay? Gary\, yes\, sounds good. Okay. And you know that key issue\, as you know\, is that if a if a developer is doing biotech or life science\, and it’s got a 30 year lifespan that’s very different than a homeowner who wants to own this for 50 to 100 years or more\, and they don’t have homeowners. Associations don’t have the ability to take on the mitigations that maybe a developer would. \nYerba Buena SX80: Okay. So I I thank you for that feedback. I think\, with the \nYerba Buena SX80: amendment that we just discussed. I’d appreciate a motion and a second. It was really only you and me there\, so would you like to? Yes\, I will make a motion\, and I’ll second\, and we’ll unanimously adopt these notes\, so let’s move ahead. \nYerba Buena SX80: But look before we do\, I I \nYerba Buena SX80: I’ve said it before\, but the quality of these meeting notes is really high. It is the it’s\, you know\, over the last 12 years since I’ve been on the board. This is\, really these excellent notes and capture \nYerba Buena SX80: what we cover at the meeting really? Well and concisely so. Thank you for the hard work on that. \nYerba Buena SX80: Okay\, stop updates. \nYerba Buena SX80: Thank you. Chair Mccann. First\, st I’d like to thank everyone who attended our Mission Bay public access walking tour in April. \nYerba Buena SX80: I enjoyed the observations and discussion on lessons learned from the 3 projects the Chair and I have been conspiring to see if we can set up another site\, visit maybe to the Northern waterfront later this year. So stay tuned. Our next project review meeting is scheduled for June 9\, th and will be the follow up review of the Brooklyn Basin Channel Park Project \nYerba Buena SX80: for the minutes that you or the meeting summary that you just reviewed. And it does look like it will be a busy summer for the Drb. With reviews tentatively scheduled for July 14\, th August 11th and September 8\, th \nYerba Buena SX80: the Berkeley Water Transportation Pier Ferry project will come back for review \nYerba Buena SX80: as well as tentatively Alameda Shipways\, and possibly the Richmond Marina Point project returning. \nYerba Buena SX80: That\, concludes the Bcdc staff update. I’ll pause here to answer any questions from the board. \nYerba Buena SX80: I don’t have any questions. Anyone else. \nYerba Buena SX80: Okay\, good. Thanks for that. Update\, Ashley. \nYerba Buena SX80: We’ll move to public comment for items that are not on tonight’s agenda. So \nYerba Buena SX80: there’ll be public comment for the items on the agenda coming up. But \nYerba Buena SX80: if anyone in in the room would like to or online would like to make a public comment about something that is not on the agenda. Please go ahead and raise hands or \nYerba Buena SX80: stand up. \nYerba Buena SX80: Okay\, hearing nothing\, we will move on from that. So \nYerba Buena SX80: we will start now with the project that we’ll be hearing about tonight. \nYerba Buena SX80: It’s a briefing on the Berkeley waterfront and Ferry Pier project\, and for those who are online and in the room. This is\, I think\, A. A. \nYerba Buena SX80: It’s quite exciting actually to be able to listen to a project before it has been advanced into detailed design. We often see projects when they’re very close to construction. And \nYerba Buena SX80: and it’s challenging. When you see a project that’s that far down the design process to weigh in and and suggest enhancements. So very glad that you’ve come to see us tonight. \nYerba Buena SX80: We’re going to have. We’ll follow the this order now on the project. So the Bcdc. Staff will make a overview present presentation. We’ll have board clarifying questions to Staff. We’ll then have the project team\, presentation and board clarifying questions to the project team. \nYerba Buena SX80: Then we’ll have public comment\, and then the Board will provide some advice for information to include with the project review \nYerba Buena SX80: so as a reminder to the board as well\, because we’re more often in a different mindset. Tonight’s item is an informational item. \nYerba Buena SX80: And so as we listen to the presentations\, the staff have requested that we think about the key questions or the information to include when the project returns to the Drb. Later this summer for a project review. So keep that in mind. And with that the Bcdc. Permit analyst Alyssa is going to introduce the project. So I’ll hand to you\, Alyssa\, to do that. Thank you. \nYerba Buena SX80: Thank you. Chair Mccann\, and good evening Board members. \nYerba Buena SX80: I don’t actually have a presentation for you tonight. Given the nature of the briefing. We’re gonna leave that to the project applicants. \nYerba Buena SX80: but I’d just like to briefly introduce the pure ferry project which is proposed at the Berkeley waterfront in the city of Berkeley\, Alameda County. \nYerba Buena SX80: the project would create a new 0. Emissions\, electric ferry service between Berkeley\, San Francisco\, and larkspur and construct a new public pier and ferry terminal to replace the existing fishing pier. \nYerba Buena SX80: as well as implement a range of waterfront and transportation improvements to the area. \nYerba Buena SX80: So the purpose of this briefing is\, as I said\, to introduce the project concept and the broader Berkeley Waterfront context in advance of the project’s 1st formal review. \nYerba Buena SX80: and during this presentation we request that the Board members consider the types of information\, design elements\, or contextual materials that would facilitate your thorough and constructive review in the future. \nYerba Buena SX80: Staff also welcomes input on how to structure future presentations\, to clearly communicate information and support meaningful feedback. \nYerba Buena SX80: But I would like to know before we begin that the Bcd DC. Jurisdiction mapping that’s presented in the project is not correctly represented. And so we ask that you please disregard \nYerba Buena SX80: the jurisdiction boundaries illustrated throughout the presentation just because of some historic bay fill \nYerba Buena SX80: issues. And now I’ll introduce the project team to tell you more about the proposal presenting today. We have Liza Mcnulty from the city of Berkeley and Liz Allen from Wra consulting. \nYerba Buena SX80: Okay\, so just a clarification on that. So to disregard when you ask us to disregard the Bcdc jurisdiction lines. \nYerba Buena SX80: Can you tell me or tell us where they are? Actually yeah. And we’ll see you’ll see on the. It will be more clear when we look at the \nYerba Buena SX80: the present. The maps themselves. Okay. So somebody shown accurately on an exhibit somewhere in the presentation. What was that? It is shown accurately on one of the exhibits? \nYerba Buena SX80: No\, no\, okay. But maybe someone could just describe it. I can point that out explicitly. When we get there. Okay\, it’ll become clear when you see the match. So thank you very much. Okay\, excellent. \nYerba Buena SX80: Any other questions before we proceed. Thank you. \nYerba Buena SX80: Thank you. \nYerba Buena SX80: My name is Liza Mcnulty. I am the capital improvement program manager with the city of Berkeley Parks recreation and Waterfront department\, and I am the project manager for the Berkeley Water Transportation Pier and Ferry Project. We’re really\, really excited to be here and present to you today. So\, as has been mentioned. This is a briefing. \nYerba Buena SX80: And so that’s really reflective of where we are on the project. We’ve essentially just finished updating our conceptual design and are starting our 30% detailed design. So the level of exhibits and renderings that you’ll see today are probably not what you’re used to seeing\, because we’re not there yet\, but we thought\, given the scope of this project\, that it was really important to get \nYerba Buena SX80: in front of you as soon as possible\, not only to get your high level feedback today\, but also to give us feedback for how to organize this project for future more detailed presentations. So our goal today is to orient you to the Berkeley waterfront all of our existing infrastructure and facilities there\, and give you an overview of the project components \nYerba Buena SX80: as well as a brief history of the area. \nYerba Buena SX80: So\, as I mentioned\, I’m Liza with the city of Berkeley. My colleague Roger is here as well. Our critical partners on this project are Weda\, the water Emergency transportation authority\, and we have some folks from Weda joining us on the Zoom call \nYerba Buena SX80: Rincon is our environmental consultants. We have a few folks from Rincon here\, and they are the lead for our Ceqa. And Nepa process and documents\, as well as our biological resources. Wra working under Rincon is our permitting lead\, and Liz Allen\, who is a senior permitting specialist with Wra\, will be helping with the presentation today. \nYerba Buena SX80: Our design lead is Coe. I did not try to put all of Koey’s dozen sub consultants on here. They range from landscape architects to naval architects and everything in between. \nYerba Buena SX80: and then we have Kittleson transportation engineers. Kittleson is actually the 1st of all of these consultants that the city brought onto the team\, because we know that one of the pillars of success\, for this project is developing parking and transportation demand management strategies. And we’ll talk a little bit more about that tonight. \nYerba Buena SX80: Okay\, so just to orient ourselves. With where we are in the world. Obviously\, we’re all familiar with the San Francisco Bay\, and you can see the city of Berkeley waterfront with that star on the slide there. It’s the westernmost limit of the city of Berkeley that extends into the bay. \nYerba Buena SX80: Oh\, sorry. \nYerba Buena SX80: Okay? So this is now zooming into the southern half of the Berkeley waterfront. And let’s start with that question about the Bcdc jurisdictional mapping here. So what’s shown on this slide that blue light blue shading is the sort of typical 100 foot offset. \nYerba Buena SX80: In reality the exact timing and history of fill in this area is quite complex. And so the city is actively working with Bcdc staff to finalize this jurisdictional limit\, and specifically in the vicinity of the Southern Peninsula. We expect that line to change and fill in much of that peninsula. I don’t believe there’s any other changes expected \nYerba Buena SX80: elsewhere on the map. That’s the primary one that we’re working with Bcdc. Staff and historical imagery to figure out exact dates of when various fill events occurred. \nYerba Buena SX80: What I want to point out on this slide. We’ll come back to this slide and dig into some of the existing facilities here\, but the project area outlined in yellow\, you see\, extends off of the slide to the left and the right\, and so I just want to touch on that very quickly. On the bottom \nYerba Buena SX80: corner of the slide you see the zoomed out area that shows that that full extent. What’s happening off the left end of the slide or the western limit. \nYerba Buena SX80: Oh. \nYerba Buena SX80: I’ll keep talking while you work on this \nYerba Buena SX80: off of that left hand side. The western limit is continuation of dredging\, and that is essentially dredging a channel to allow for operation of the Weda vessel. And what’s happening on the right side as we move off the slide and go up easterly along University Avenue is continuation of trenching work for underground utilities. And so\, for the most part\, on this presentation\, we’ll be focused on this scale. But I wanted to touch on what’s happening outside of this image. \nYerba Buena SX80: So speaking of complicated history\, the story of the Berkeley Pier begins almost a hundred years ago. \nYerba Buena SX80: when the pier was originally constructed by the Golden Gate Ferry Company to provide vehicular ferry service to San Francisco\, so cars would drive out to the end of the pier\, drive onto a ferry\, which would then take them over to San Francisco. This is how the pier operated for about 10 years. In 1937 the Bay bridge opened\, and the need to shuttle cars via Ferry to San Francisco no longer existed. \nYerba Buena SX80: In the early 19 sixties. The 1st 3\,000 feet of the Berkeley Pier was restored and reopened to public access. And that’s the Berkeley Pier that we all think of today. When we think of the Berkeley Pier. \nYerba Buena SX80: it existed as just public access for pedestrians\, joggers fishing for about 50 years\, until in 2015 the pier was closed\, due to structural deterioration at that point at 90 years old. \nYerba Buena SX80: In 2019 the city of Berkeley and Wida entered into a memorandum of understanding to study the feasibility of replacing the now closed Berkeley Pier with a new pier structure that could provide not only restored recreation access\, but also a terminal for a new ferry service connecting Berkeley to downtown San Francisco. \nYerba Buena SX80: This has always been envisioned\, and continues to be envisioned as an electric only ferry terminal. \nYerba Buena SX80: After about 2 years of feasibility\, study\, including a public process\, the preferred alternative was presented to the city of Berkeley City Council and the Wida Board in 2021 \nYerba Buena SX80: in 2023 the city received funding to complete the design and environmental phase of this project. That funding came from a combination of Actc\, California State Coastal conservancy and an allocation from Wida\, of Rm. 3 funds. \nYerba Buena SX80: And that’s essentially where we are today. \nYerba Buena SX80: So the city just recently\, in mid April\, released the notice of preparation for the environmental impact report\, so that scoping period is open. Now that notice of preparation is posted on the city’s website and goes into much more detail about the project purpose. But here tonight we wanted to focus on the 2 most fundamental aspects of Project purpose here. \nYerba Buena SX80: The 1st of those is to restore and enhance the recreational opportunities at the Berkeley waterfront. Now\, the most visible of those opportunities is the pier itself and the public access on the pier. But\, as you’ll see tonight\, there are multiple other recreation improvements that are part of this project. \nYerba Buena SX80: and then\, of course\, to provide that 0 emission\, all electric ferry service between Berkeley and San Francisco. \nYerba Buena SX80: Of course we can’t operate a ferry with without Wida. And so the partnership with Wida really is a fundamental aspect of the overall project. \nYerba Buena SX80: This is a good place to note that when the pier was 1st closed in 2015\, the city did seek out engineering estimates for what it would take to simply repair the pier. \nYerba Buena SX80: Those cost estimates ranged from 27 million to 72 million dollars\, and those cost estimates did not include any improvements to the pier\, for things like sea level rise or shoreline resiliency. \nYerba Buena SX80: as you can imagine\, a cost estimate in that range for a recreation only project that does not incorporate any sort of sea level rise is simply not feasible. \nYerba Buena SX80: Partnering with Wida allows this project to add that layer of transportation element to it which opens up transportation funding to support this project that ends up being a win-win where the city is able to make meaningful improvements\, to restore recreation access\, and Wida is able to add this link in their operations that has long been a goal of theirs. \nYerba Buena SX80: This service between Berkeley and San Francisco is part of Wida’s 2050 Service vision. It’s also included in other regional transportation plans\, such as the Metropolitan Transportation Commission Plan Bay Area 2050 and 2050 plus. \nYerba Buena SX80: I just want to note quickly. We refer to this as the Berkeley waterfront. But it’s important to note that\, in fact\, this entire area that we define as the Berkeley waterfront are public tidelands that are held in trust by the city of Berkeley. \nYerba Buena SX80: Okay\, so this is coming back to those exist that existing condition. And I’m gonna run through quickly some of the key \nYerba Buena SX80: infrastructure and amenities that exist at the Berkeley waterfront. \nYerba Buena SX80: Okay\, so for starters here we have skates on the bay. This is just north of the project area. This is an existing and operational restaurant. Of course we have the pier itself currently closed to the public \nYerba Buena SX80: moving south just on the southern tip of the Berkeley waterfront\, just south of the project area\, is 199 seawall. \nYerba Buena SX80: formerly known as his Lordships restaurant. This restaurant has been vacant and closed for several years now\, but the city is actively working on bringing on a new tenant \nYerba Buena SX80: just north of there we have the seawall parking lot. This is a multi-use parking lot that has been intermittently closed since 2020. It’s currently open during our highest use visit periods primarily\, summer weekends \nYerba Buena SX80: coming around the bend sort of in the center of this project area. Here is Shorebird Park. \nYerba Buena SX80: which includes the shoreboard Nature center shoreboard park hosts\, workshops and classes\, field trips and summer camps\, as well as having multiple barbecue areas that are reservable by the public \nYerba Buena SX80: continuing east easterly just adjacent to Shorebird Park. Here is adventure playground. This is my favorite playground in Berkeley. If you haven’t been\, I encourage you to visit. It’s a playground\, an interactive playground that is actively constructed by the kids while they’re there. It’s really unique in the entire Bay area. \nYerba Buena SX80: We do have a bit of a typo on our legend here. So number 8 here adjacent to adventure playground is Cal Sailing Club\, which is a nonprofit organization that offers sailing and windsurfing lessons and programs. \nYerba Buena SX80: Next to Cal sailing. Here\, again\, a bit of a typo on our presentation is Cal Adventures\, which is also known as Uc Aquatics Center. This is run by Uc. Berkeley\, and offers classes and programs for kayakers. Sailing\, paddle\, boarding\, and rentals. \nYerba Buena SX80: Just across the street is the Berkeley Marina Sportsman center\, which is essentially a bait and tackle shop\, offering fishing supplies and snacks\, and then\, right next to that is Hana Japan\, which is another existing operational restaurant. \nYerba Buena SX80: We\, of course\, have the Berkeley Marina\, and it’s worth mentioning the guardian sculpture here\, which is actually a sculpture that is protected by Berkeley municipal code. And so we’ll be working around that sculpture. \nYerba Buena SX80: And then\, finally\, we have\, of course\, our public roadways within the project area. So we have University Avenue which travels east\, west and connects the Berkeley waterfront to downtown Berkeley and Seawall Drive\, which travels north south along the water. In this vicinity \nYerba Buena SX80: this slide provides an overview of the public parking available at the Berkeley waterfront. The areas in shaded green here represent over 1\,600 parking stalls that are managed and regulated by the city of Berkeley for all of our waterfront users. The reason we included this slide is because what we’ve heard very consistently from our existing waterfront users is concerned for how this project will impact their access to parking \nYerba Buena SX80: Kittleson traffic engineers have authored a parking and transportation demand management study. The draft of that study is posted on our website\, as well as an addendum to that draft which was authored to answer specific questions and concerns. We heard from the public on the draft report. \nYerba Buena SX80: What that analysis does is. Look at each one of these parking lots in detail and uses multiple years of data to assess the existing usage and occupancy of these parking lots. The report identifies 2 specific parking lots in addition to seawall drive \nYerba Buena SX80: that are well suited for shared use for ferry riders because they have the existing capacity to accommodate that shared use without impacts to recreation access. \nYerba Buena SX80: What the report also does is present specific transportation demand management strategies to reduce the reliance on single cars for ferry riders. And you’ll see some of those transportation demand management strategies tonight\, as they relate to specific built infrastructure\, such as bicycle infrastructure. \nYerba Buena SX80: I’m not going to read this slide out loud\, but the goal here is to give you a high\, level overview of all of the planning efforts underway at the Berkeley waterfront. This is a very big and important project\, but it is by no means the only project underway at the Berkeley waterfront. \nYerba Buena SX80: The top items\, one through 5 are projects that have recently completed construction. The rest of the list is really sort of the entire kitchen sink. What I mean by that is that some of the projects on that list are under construction this summer. \nYerba Buena SX80: Other projects on that list have perhaps completed a planning phase\, but do not have any funding to complete the next phases of environmental design and construction. But we wanted to give an idea of the full breadth of work underway at the Marine\, at the Berkeley waterfront. To both maintain and improve our existing infrastructure. \nYerba Buena SX80: With that I’m going to hand it over to Liz to provide an overview of the proposed project. \nYerba Buena SX80: Thank you\, Liza. \nYerba Buena SX80: I get the fun part I get to actually tell you what we’re thinking about. \nYerba Buena SX80: So here we have a similar graphic that lists a number of things that are being contemplated for this project that I’ll now go through in order. \nYerba Buena SX80: So first\, st as we’ve discussed a key part of this project\, and a key part of the project purpose is to remove and replace the a section of the existing pier that is currently closed\, and install a new pier in breakwater that provides pedestrian access and recreational amenities. Returning these facilities to this area. \nYerba Buena SX80: This will also allow for installation of a new ferry. New ferry infrastructure with 0 emission\, electric Passenger ferry service \nYerba Buena SX80: in order to allow for ferry service to be operational here. The project will need to include a dredging episode\, as Liza explained at the top of this presentation\, that is why our project area extends so far out into San Francisco Bay. \nYerba Buena SX80: The \nYerba Buena SX80: initial designs indicate that this project will only need to do a single dredging episode as part of project implementation. We don’t expect this project to require significant\, consistent maintenance dredging \nYerba Buena SX80: on the public land side. The project includes a new public plaza right where the pier meets the land side\, right around around where Liza pointed out that statue which will be protected in place as she discussed. \nYerba Buena SX80: In addition\, the project includes a number of proposed improvements along University Avenue and Seawall Drive\, which I’ll get into in a moment. \nYerba Buena SX80: and the project involves implementation of a portion of a planned San Francisco Bay Trail Extension\, which we also will have a more detailed graphic on in a moment. \nYerba Buena SX80: Here we have a rendering of the proposed peer. \nYerba Buena SX80: The project proposes to remove and replace a portion of the existing pier with a new pier that provides both pedestrian access and ferry access. As you can see. \nYerba Buena SX80: the portion of the pier that extends perpendicular from the shoreline is in line with the existing pier alignment\, but what this project also adds is the breakwater which we call the sword design\, which also would provide additional public access\, and would serve to protect the ferries during landing. As this is one of the windiest areas in the Bay\, and protection is necessary to allow the ferries to be able to operate and land safely. \nYerba Buena SX80: A total of about 1\,500 feet of pedestrian access for walking\, jogging\, sightseeing\, wildlife\, viewing\, and fishing is proposed as part of this project\, and\, as we’ve stated many times\, this would be a fully electric ferry\, which is very exciting \nYerba Buena SX80: in terms of circulation. As I mentioned\, the project will involve implementing a portion of a proposed Bay trail extension. \nYerba Buena SX80: The red lines here show existing pathways that are not currently designated as San Francisco Bay Trail. Largely these are composed of existing sidewalks\, whereas the green it shows existing Bay trail extension. \nYerba Buena SX80: So I know it’s hard to see on this graphic. But the green here that’s by the sailing club that’s existing Bay trail extension. And then it continues\, there is existing pathway here in red\, but it’s not official bay trail. It’s a pretty degraded surface. What this project would provide is implementing a portion of this bay trail. Extension in this dotted line along Seawall drive up to the pier to connect these systems and improve that circulation. \nYerba Buena SX80: It would also provide additional return public access in the form of the pier and its breakwater\, as shown here. \nYerba Buena SX80: the project would also is proposing to include a raised cycle track along University Avenue that would go straight to the ferry to provide more efficient and safer cycling opportunities for potential commuters or visitors of the ferry service which in turn would also allow people to visit this area more easily without the need to bring a car. In addition. \nYerba Buena SX80: Actc is has existing and would include proposed stops that would allow users to take the bus from \nYerba Buena SX80: downtown Berkeley into the ferry for another option for A public transit connection to the ferry system. The inset map on the bottom right here shows that actc bus route. \nYerba Buena SX80: We’d next like to highlight as consistent with the project purpose that Liza went through earlier. The ways in which this project is consistent with Bcdca plan policies \nYerba Buena SX80: and just highlight. Some of the policies that are in the existing Bay Plan that we feel are supportive of this project. There are a number of policies in the Bay Plan that are supportive of multimodal connections and public transportation. We’re just highlighting some critical ones here. Specifically\, recreation policy number 9. We are aware that this project is within \nYerba Buena SX80: a waterfront park priority use area shown in green here. \nYerba Buena SX80: Which priority use areas\, as you probably know\, have some special requirements for them. \nYerba Buena SX80: however\, according to the recreation policy\, ferry terminals are allowed in waterfront park priority use areas and marinas\, fishing piers and launching lanes\, provided that the development and the operation of the ferry facilities do not interfere with current or future park and recreational users and navigational safety can be assured. \nYerba Buena SX80: In addition\, this policy states that terminal configuration and operation should not disrupt continuous shoreline access\, and that facilities provided for the park in Marina\, patrons\, such as parking should not be usurped by ferry patrons\, and that shared parking arrangements should be provided to minimize the amount of shoreline area needed for parking. \nYerba Buena SX80: And with that I’m going to pass it back to Liza. \nYerba Buena SX80: So I mentioned that the city conducted public outreach during the feasibility study from 2019 to 2021. \nYerba Buena SX80: When we started our current efforts\, one of the 1st things that Rincon looked at for us was environmental justice\, and how the project had thus far met or not met environmental justice outreach. \nYerba Buena SX80: beginning in 2025. Again\, with Rincon’s support\, we initiated a comprehensive public outreach effort to update the public and receive public feedback on this project with a focus on environmental justice and underrepresented communities. \nYerba Buena SX80: I believe the last of these presentations we just did on Friday. So I think we can now close that this phase. What I’m not going to list all of these out loud. But you’ll see here we have gone to almost 2 dozen of our community groups and community events to present this project. \nYerba Buena SX80: and what we’ve heard from the public is broad support for this project in particular\, for having a ferry service\, a 0 emission ferry service in West Berkeley an area that is underserved in particular\, for Cross Bay transportation needs. \nYerba Buena SX80: we have heard really consistently. The second bullet here concerns about the parking availability\, especially for our existing recreation users. And as we explore parking regulations such as paid parking concerns about how that could impact low impact residents. A lot of ideas from the public. People are really excited about the idea of having\, like pop up food \nYerba Buena SX80: vendors and pop up events in the new Plaza \nYerba Buena SX80: and a lot of excitement about bringing this public amenity back to the public with peer access. \nYerba Buena SX80: So\, as I mentioned\, we’re right here on the 1st half of 2025\, wrapping up our engineering technical studies and our conceptual design. We’ve just published our notice of preparation for an Eir\, and that public scoping period is open\, I believe\, until May 18.th \nYerba Buena SX80: And we’re turning now to developing our detailed design. \nYerba Buena SX80: If all goes as as planned\, we will have a bid ready set of plans with permits in hand by early 2027\, and be ready to start construction. \nYerba Buena SX80: And as noted here we do\, you know\, fully acknowledge this is a briefing. We will be back in front of this Design Review Board\, and are really excited to get your feedback today on ideas for how to organize our future presentations to best serve you. \nYerba Buena SX80: And that is it for our presentation. Thank you. \nYerba Buena SX80: Okay\, thank you very much. That was very clear and great job. So just we’ll have some clarification questions. Now\, I just want to kick off with a couple\, and we’ll keep going. Just a clarification as you move towards construction of the sources of funding confirmed for construction. Yet \nYerba Buena SX80: no\, we do not have construction funding in place\, yet. Do you have targets for where you \nYerba Buena SX80: are looking for construction. We do as you can imagine. The last several months have been a lot of change with expectations for future funding\, but we have been working with Wida to identify transportation\, related funds as well as \nYerba Buena SX80: as other funding sources for different elements of the project. So so we do fully anticipate that this project\, in the long run may be broken into phases for the construction depending on how that construction funding comes through. Right? Thank you. And just a question about \nYerba Buena SX80: I just wanna make sure I understood what you said about the new pier construction. Will you remove\, demolish all of the \nYerba Buena SX80: the current piles and then repile for the new pier. Or do you just replace the decking and upgrade it? Great question within the footprint of the new pier? We will be completely demolishing the old pier \nYerba Buena SX80: beyond the footprint of the new pier sections. Portions of the old pier will be removed as mitigation. Exactly how much of the old pier is removed remains to be determined. That will be something that we largely based on feedback from the regional water quality control board and the other environmental agencies. Okay\, thank you. \nYerba Buena SX80: And just a contextual question\, I know a lot of this work is still in process. But \nYerba Buena SX80: in terms of proposed Wida Ferry service. Can you just describe what the anticipated numbers of hours of service\, how many ferries stop there a day? Yep\, absolutely. So. Wida has published their planned service in their 2022 Berkeley business plan\, which is available on their website. What that plan envisions is service roughly every half an hour during the weekday \nYerba Buena SX80: peak. Commute hours. So that’s roughly\, I wanna say\, about 7 Am. To 9 Am. In the mornings and 4 Pm. To 6 Pm. And 7 Pm. In the evenings on the weekends they envision running the ferry service only hourly. They do include in their business plan the \nYerba Buena SX80: the the option for running occasional special event service\, such as for large games or concerts. \nYerba Buena SX80: and there is also consideration of future expansion to add service between Berkeley and Larkspur. They don’t go into a level of detail as far as how often that ferry service would run\, and it’s hard to tell from the illustration. But what is the capacity of an electric ferry that’s illustrated? Yeah\, that’s to be determined. Yeah\, we what we’re working on now is whether the \nYerba Buena SX80: ferry that they are. As I mentioned\, Wida is currently in contract to design and construct their 1st electric ferry. \nYerba Buena SX80: We don’t know for certain whether that particular ferry will serve this terminal\, or whether we will have a different ferry\, a different vessel serving this terminal. I mean just approximately\, I mean\, there’s the Treasure Island example. I believe it’s approximately 250 people is the capacity of the ferry. The business plan does include that. I just don’t recall it off the top of my head. That’s fine. I mean\, just trying to get a sense of whether it’s a \nYerba Buena SX80: you know\, a Treasure Island interim 50 person ferry. It’s more on the order of magnitude of 200. Yep. Got it? And just a broader contextual question. \nYerba Buena SX80: did the work done by your consultant? \nYerba Buena SX80: the traffic? Planning\, parking\, planning\, consultant? Have they? Have they established \nYerba Buena SX80: where the people are coming from? Who are going to use. \nYerba Buena SX80: The ferries are a way of getting some guidance on that\, so they have not established points of origin of ferry riders. What their analysis does do is\, it looks at the ridership projections which are in the Wida 2022 Berkeley business plan\, and then looks at mode split for how people will arrive \nYerba Buena SX80: based on those ridership numbers from Weda\, and they look at both. That mode split without any transportation demand management. And then with implementation of transportation demand management strategies. Okay. \nYerba Buena SX80: good. Thank you. Gary\, please go ahead. Clarifying questions. I don’t have any questions right now. Thank you. \nYerba Buena SX80: Kristen. Thank you so much for the presentation very informative. \nYerba Buena SX80: I have a sort of a big picture question \nYerba Buena SX80: about the waterfront specific plan and the status of that\, and the kind of uses that are being contemplated. And specifically\, it was my understanding that \nYerba Buena SX80: some of the parking lots were being looked at as opportunities for like housing or other uses is there? How does that fit into this work? Yeah\, great question just to clarify the waterfront specific plan does not include any housing elements\, because since this is public tide lands. Private housing would never be allowed by the trust agreement. Excuse me. \nYerba Buena SX80: The waterfront specific plan was published in draft. I believe the most recent draft update was in the fall of \nYerba Buena SX80: 2023. Since then City Council has directed staff to redirect the funding that existed to finalize the waterfront specific plan to instead expand the scope of the waterfront specific plan to look at Cesar Chavez Park. \nYerba Buena SX80: That work is happening now. But what that means is that there is no longer funding to finalize the waterfront specific plan\, including to do any of the environmental impact. So future scheduling or funding for finalization of the waterfront specific plan\, including sequel analysis\, for it is not identified at this time. \nYerba Buena SX80: Okay\, thank you for that. \nYerba Buena SX80: I also just had a few sort of questions about \nYerba Buena SX80: the ferry. Would this be? I know a number of the ferry terminals have parking for ferries overnight. Is that something that would happen here? Or is this just a stop? And they go park somewhere else\, just to stop and go ferries would not be birthing overnight in this location. Okay? And then \nYerba Buena SX80: just curious about the one time dredging. I don’t know the ins and outs of how the permit works with dredging\, but it seems \nYerba Buena SX80: I’m curious. Why\, you only think it would be one time\, and if you wouldn’t want \nYerba Buena SX80: to be able to do more dredging if it was important for ferry operations. Yeah. So Weda generally has been moving away from maintenance dredging. They don’t want to have to do maintenance dredging. It’s expensive\, as you can imagine. And so our goal with the initial dredge design is to conduct the dredging in such a way that they do not have future maintenance dredging. Now \nYerba Buena SX80: will we be successful? That remains to be seen. And so there is the chance that in the long term future additional maintenance stretching would be required. If that is the case\, that is something that Weda would approach as a separate project. It is not part of this project. \nYerba Buena SX80: and then \nYerba Buena SX80: in terms of the parking that maybe this is like way too detailed of a question. But \nYerba Buena SX80: do you have thoughts on how you would separate the ferry parking from the recreation parking like. Is there \nYerba Buena SX80: a a payment\, you know? Do you have to pay to park there now\, would you have to pay that park there in the future. How how do you sort of \nYerba Buena SX80: anticipate that those would be \nYerba Buena SX80: controlled or separated? Or\, if if at all\, maybe not\, that’s a great question. And and the short answer is\, we haven’t gotten there yet. So what our parking study has done is identified \nYerba Buena SX80: where specifically\, we have the capacity for this shared use. The next question\, of course\, is\, well\, how do we ensure that full day ferry commuters? Only park in those locations that we have determined\, and for that. We’re going to need an overhaul of our parking regulations at the waterfront we’ve presented to our public at our parks recreation and Waterfront Commission meeting a very preliminary range of \nYerba Buena SX80: alternatives to get high level public feedback on that. In general\, we’ve heard support for paid parking \nYerba Buena SX80: for ferry riders while also hearing a real priority to make sure that parking for recreation users remains free\, or at least very\, very low cost. But our next step in that is to continue to refine and iterate on those parking regulations\, and figure out not only what the regulations are\, but what that means from signage and layout of parking lots\, etc\, to make sure that we have very clear communication to all of our users \nYerba Buena SX80: where they can and cannot park \nYerba Buena SX80: and then I. It sounds like the \nYerba Buena SX80: waterfront. Specific plan is not moving forward. So \nYerba Buena SX80: is there any related redevelopment that we should be understanding that may happen in this area in the future. \nYerba Buena SX80: Sounds like not housing \nYerba Buena SX80: more kind of hotel and commercial uses. Or do you have a sense of that at all\, just so that we can have that in our minds as we’re sort of thinking about. Yeah\, it’s a great question. I think that within our project area that we showed in yellow. There are no other meaningful \nYerba Buena SX80: developments or redevelopments on the horizon. We are actively working on getting a new leaseholder into the 1 99 seawall restaurant building. So that certainly\, if we are successful\, you know\, bringing that restaurant back online is probably the most \nYerba Buena SX80: nearest term redevelopment type project that would happen otherwise. A lot of the efforts at the Berkeley waterfront really are to maintain and replace in kind our current infrastructure. \nYerba Buena SX80: Thank you. \nYerba Buena SX80: Okay\, thanks. Kristen. Bob\, clarifying questions. Yes\, I have a couple. So \nYerba Buena SX80: do you think the conceptual design is sufficient for environmental review? \nYerba Buena SX80: Often more recently\, in my experience\, I’m a design engineer retired\, but we often have to go beyond a conceptual design to what we would consider \nYerba Buena SX80: preliminary design. \nYerba Buena SX80: Yeah. So I think what we showed you today as the conceptual diner design is certainly not sufficient for for the environmental review. And so what what we’re working on is making sure that our environmental team has the level of detail that they need. So the 30% design development and the sequel document development are happening together to make sure I didn’t see that on your bar chart. Although I guess there was some overlap. But \nYerba Buena SX80: But I I think I made my point. So okay\, thank you. That’s good. \nYerba Buena SX80: will. Alternative locations for the ferry terminal terminal be considered in the Eir\, or has it been scoped yet. \nYerba Buena SX80: The full scope of what alternatives will be studied in the air has not been finalized. There’s no discussion on what those alternatives might be or \nYerba Buena SX80: not\, we haven’t settled on what those alternatives might be. That’s part of the scoping process is getting feedback from the public. \nYerba Buena SX80: Will the project go before the Engineering Criteria Review Board. I think that’s a question for it will. Okay\, yeah\, I’m an engineer. So I’m asking things that you know are different than \nYerba Buena SX80: the other kind of design \nYerba Buena SX80: So I just. I haven’t looked at the public comments. And how is it that with all the public access. I get the impression that there are some people that feel that they weren’t re reached\, or they\, you know\, and these people seem to be \nYerba Buena SX80: primarily swimmers\, or you know\, people that maybe aren’t organized as much as the bay trail\, or or whatever \nYerba Buena SX80: do you have any thoughts on that? \nYerba Buena SX80: I think the city has conducted a really extensive public outreach. Now I will say that in our our 2025 efforts we’ve really been focused on getting to some of our less represented users. So not our existing waterfront users\, but some of our communities who may not be as aware of the opportunities in the Berkeley waterfront. Yeah\, it might be a little bit of a cultural issue\, you know. I’m a surfer\, obviously not in the bay. \nYerba Buena SX80: but the windsurfers and swimmers and fishermen. They’re kind of like a different group or groups\, and so they don’t necessarily I didn’t see them in your list \nYerba Buena SX80: of people necessarily. So I think it’s something that you might. Wanna anyway\, I think that’s enough of that. Thank you. I made my point and I appreciate that you will reach out to others. \nYerba Buena SX80: I am also skeptical about dredging once\, and not having to dredge again\, especially given how short that is\, and I also have looking at the design. I I have a lot of questions as a \nYerba Buena SX80: as an engineer that’s worked on ferry facilities and the like. So I think. You probably do need a little more detailed analysis. It’s just my gut feeling not to criticize anyone. \nYerba Buena SX80: I think I had a bunch of other questions\, but I think oh\, I see. Oh. \nYerba Buena SX80: have you in this analysis that you’ve done so far? Have you studied the the wake production and wash\, prop\, wash\, or jet wash from these facilities\, either from the ferries and how they affect \nYerba Buena SX80: other surrounding features and activities. \nYerba Buena SX80: So our Coe\, our design engineers are currently looking at the the shoreline kind of wave action\, and how that is impacted by both the ferry operations and the breakwater itself. That report hasn’t there? It’s in work right now. We haven’t received a draft of that yet\, but that is something that they’re looking at. Yeah\, that’s great\, because that’s a big deal in a lot of places\, even though there is \nYerba Buena SX80: some conception that catamarans don’t produce waves and don’t have wake wash. But in fact. \nYerba Buena SX80: I think we’ve observed it\, even though they’re not as bad as the monoholes. The old Golden Gate Ferry monoholes\, but they they do have an effect which needs to be looked at\, I think carefully. \nYerba Buena SX80: Thanks. \nYerba Buena SX80: Thank you. Appreciate it. Thanks\, Bob. You know I just have one clarifying question which I meant to ask before the illustration just reminded me \nYerba Buena SX80: just to check. So public access on the new pier extends beyond the breakwater out a further 200 feet\, or something like that is that correct? Yes\, that’s correct. So there’s an extension of the pier beyond the breakwater that is purely for additional recreation\, right? And then it terminates at a point where there’ll be some demolition\, partial demolition to be determined of the correct. Okay. \nYerba Buena SX80: thanks for that good. \nYerba Buena SX80: Can I? Can I ask a question now\, now that I’ve had time to listen in a little bit. What is I just trying to get a sense of the magnitude of \nYerba Buena SX80: Berkeley Parks project versus the Weda project. Is there like a percentage? Or are you dividing them by scope areas or by by financial responsibility? Or and yeah\, it’s a great question\, and it’s largely Tbd\, so what the city and Weda established in our 1st memorandum of understanding is that we would essentially develop cost\, sharing agreements for the future phases as needed. \nYerba Buena SX80: This phase that we’re in now\, the city was able to obtain 100% of the funding. And so we didn’t need to get into the cost sharing for construction\, or we didn’t need to get into the cost\, sharing for design and environmental quite yet\, depending on where the construction funding comes from at a very high level. Conceptually the city and we have agreed to a cost sharing model where the \nYerba Buena SX80: Weda pays for those elements that are for the ferry. The city pays for those elements that are purely for recreation\, and that we come up with a cost sharing for those those facilities that are both. \nYerba Buena SX80: But any details related to that future cost sharing have yet to be determined\, and will really be influenced by where that funding is coming from\, and and how we need to separate it\, based on the limits of the funding. \nYerba Buena SX80: is there\, like an estimated total project costs at build out\, or any anything to kind of establish\, like\, how big is it? Yeah. And I should have had a slide for that. I apologize. If I’m I’m the the rough number is\, I believe\, about 86 million dollars for all of it. Now\, that’s from the feasibility study. And so we’re in the process right now of updating that based on the updated conceptual \nYerba Buena SX80: study. So the number will change based on the updated design. But that gives you the order of magnitude of what they estimated\, based on the feasibility study. \nYerba Buena SX80: Okay\, thank you. And do you do you think I mean\, it seems like the Wida part is probably much more. They have much more responsibility\, for all the marine construction is must be much more expensive than landscape improvements\, is there? Yeah. And the slide I have\, for that does break it out. And again I’m going to have to sort of \nYerba Buena SX80: do my best to remember. But if\, at a rough order of magnitude. I believe it was about 65 million was the pure. The ferry related infrastructure\, and 14 ish 1 million was the land side improvements. I will say that of that waterside improvement. Some of that is\, of course\, dual use. Right? It’s it’s both both for Weda and for public recreation. So that doesn’t necessarily equate to a 1 for one when it comes to cost sharing \nYerba Buena SX80: great. Thank you. Seems like a very fortuitous partnership. \nYerba Buena SX80: Okay\, well\, I think \nYerba Buena SX80: that that concludes the board\, clarifying questions. And before we move to public comment\, I meant to say this earlier\, but \nYerba Buena SX80: this really is a spectacular site. So \nYerba Buena SX80: we see a lot of very spectacular places around the bay. But this this is really quite special. So I’m glad you guys are giving it a lot of attention\, and I’m glad that the outreach process will continue. And on that vein let’s move to public comment \nYerba Buena SX80: and \nYerba Buena SX80: I’m just going to remind people of the Protocols again. So any member of the public attending the meeting in person. You can notify the Board Secretary if you want to make a comment. And I think there are some already there. And we’ve talked about the procedure for online making public comments\, raise virtual hand. Or if you’re joining by phone press. Star 9 to make a comment. \nYerba Buena SX80: okay. So Ashley\, I’m gonna hand to you\, I think\, just to summarize some of the feedback received already. If you could do that\, thank you. \nYerba Buena SX80: I’m actually would request that we have the comments in the room 1st and then online\, and then I’ll summarize because some of the names are the same\, and I’d rather the \nYerba Buena SX80: comments come from them. Then the individuals\, by summarizing their own comments. Excellent! Okay\, so if you could lead with public comment. \nYerba Buena SX80: Alright. 1st up is Jim Mcgrath. \nYerba Buena SX80: Good evening. My name is Jim Mcgrath. I’m the founder of a group called save the Berkeley Pier. I’ve been working on public access for 50 years or so \nYerba Buena SX80: Coastal Commission since 76. So \nYerba Buena SX80: I I’ve got a presentation. But I’m gonna start with Saturday. I was at a fundraiser at \nYerba Buena SX80: Sylvia Mclaughlin’s old house for save the Bay\, and it reminded me of how important \nYerba Buena SX80: Bcdc. And Bcdc. Design Review Board is in all of this. You are the protectors of the bay from unnecessary fill. \nYerba Buena SX80: So you have a responsibility to consider alternatives\, and you have the responsibility to make sure that does that design a public access works\, and we don’t lose it. \nYerba Buena SX80: And of course I’m worried about that. So this is a typical day in Berkeley\, Marina. You can see that there’s surf skis and the like. \nYerba Buena SX80: and it says\, Where’s the park we were promised now\, why\, why do I say that \nYerba Buena SX80: just to show that they’re not all water users? In fact\, only about 20% of the user people that actually go to the water. This is the Sunday Drum circle. I didn’t bring the Pakistani family\, and like \nYerba Buena SX80: so why am I worried about the park? Well\, this is the pre-fill photo\, and I was surprised by the city’s comments that they don’t know where it was because they got a permit from Bcdc. They know what the jurisdiction is. \nYerba Buena SX80: The bay was filled to create a permanent recreational area\, not a commuter term. \nYerba Buena SX80: no matter how you\, Gussey it up. It was created for this purpose. \nYerba Buena SX80: and that was supported by Sylvia Mclaughlin. \nYerba Buena SX80: What have they done with it? \nYerba Buena SX80: This is the closed parking of that recreational area. \nYerba Buena SX80: There’s a windsurfing access point directly ahead of that. \nYerba Buena SX80: They made it pretty hard to park and reach. \nYerba Buena SX80: This is the east dock used by swimmers wingers\, kiteboards\, these surf\, skis\, and the like \nYerba Buena SX80: closed\, and we just heard from the city that\, despite a recent passage and an increase in the parks tax of 3.5 million dollars\, of which the Council promised a 1.5 million dollars to the Marina. \nYerba Buena SX80: They don’t need funds to repair it this year. \nYerba Buena SX80: This is the marina\, which is the recreational area where kids are taught to sail. Kids are taught to kayak. \nYerba Buena SX80: but not these days. It hasn’t been maintained. \nYerba Buena SX80: This is the path. I made the mistake of trying to ride out to his lordships on the path next to the bay \nYerba Buena SX80: boy. That was a mistake. This is how the city of Berkeley doesn’t maintain it. \nYerba Buena SX80: So I’m gonna go back and invoke. \nYerba Buena SX80: Sylvia Mcglaughlin\, and I’m going to remind you that how we preserve \nYerba Buena SX80: resources is we create emotional value in. You can see the smile on Sylvia’s face. It was on my bucket list\, too. \nYerba Buena SX80: I had her in the bay. \nYerba Buena SX80: It’s nice to have your butt under the water to see what it looks like from that. Do I have a minute because I would like to correct some of the comments that the city made. If if I don’t have the time\, I’ll do it in writing \nYerba Buena SX80: it is at your discretion chair. If you want to give an additional minute\, we we’ve consumed 3 min. \nYerba Buena SX80: Yes\, how many comments have we got? \nYerba Buena SX80: We have \nYerba Buena SX80: sorry. I only ask\, because I want to be fair. And we have we 6 comments in the room? \nYerba Buena SX80: No one online has raised their hand. Yet. Can I ask the okay. \nYerba Buena SX80: please go ahead. Well\, the 1st thing let’s go to the cost. Since it was the last question. The cost estimate is 121 million dollars. For the total cost\, including ferries. That’s the 1920 21 cost estimate. It looks like the ferry cost is doubled. \nYerba Buena SX80: So there’s about maybe another 30 or 40. The city’s proportion of that under the agreement\, is somewhere between 25 and 35 million\, not 14 million \nYerba Buena SX80: as as far as equity. What I want you to know is that just last Friday the city \nYerba Buena SX80: proposed to start initiating\, charging for parking in the Marina\, including on those lands filled that Bcdc. Retains jurisdiction on. Now I worked for many years to try to get the bay trail and the improvements into the into the Marina. They diversified the kinds of users massively. As I said\, only about 20% of us have anything to do with getting to the water. \nYerba Buena SX80: If you start charging for parking. You are going to undiversify Berkeley\, Marina\, and to talk about equity while you’re planning to charge the poor. \nYerba Buena SX80: I find a little offensive. I’ll leave the rest of the comments for later. \nYerba Buena SX80: Thank you very much. Next Speaker \nYerba Buena SX80: Andrew Sullivan. You are up next\, followed by David Davidson. \nYerba Buena SX80: And do they have my documents. \nYerba Buena SX80: Okay? Great. \nYerba Buena SX80: 1st of all\, I’d just like to thank you all for dedicating yourselves to protecting the shoreline. It means a lot to us. \nYerba Buena SX80: I’m the current president of the San Francisco Board Sailing Association\, and we represent about 5\,000 voice board sailors around the Bay area. 250 of our board sailors identify the East Dock and the South Basin specifically as their launch point. That may seem like a small number\, but I want you to keep that number in mind when you’re looking at some of these documents in front of you. Those users launch 3 to 6 times a week \nYerba Buena SX80: from march through September. They’re super users of the bay\, and they use that dock that’s closed as their primary launch point. Okay\, I want to talk about a couple of things here with you. \nYerba Buena SX80: One is\, I want to put Berkeley into the regional access network of the East Bay because it exists as part of a fragile network of access between the kind of Richmond area all the way down through Oakland. Okay? And there’s a limited number of access points that we have to get to the water. \nYerba Buena SX80: I want to talk about the Albany Case study that’s being completely ignored when considering this this group and how there is latent demand out there that’s activated when you simply maintain facilities. And I want to talk about what happens when access is being pinched in these really critical urban areas. Okay\, now with with the parking area. You know\, I was just trying to figure out how many parking spaces do we have in the area. So I looked at Berkeley \nYerba Buena SX80: and the and the parking spaces that give us access to the South Basin. All right. Specifically\, I looked at Albany Beach. Everything there. I looked at Point Isabel and I looked at Marina Bay\, both parking lots of Marina Bay\, Vincent J. Barbara J. Vincent as well as Shamada. Okay of those spots. You have 1\, 63 of the 1 87\, right? I counted them on using Google Maps\, all right. And the shot from Google Maps is on a Monday\, a working Monday at 1030 Am. In February. \nYerba Buena SX80: Those are the Google map photos that I used using those photos\, the 187 spaces in the South Basin\, lot 163 are occupied in the photo. \nYerba Buena SX80: all right. Of the 85 at Albany\, 85 are occupied\, and 3 cars are waiting to park. That’s a common occurrence at Albany\, which I’ll return to. \nYerba Buena SX80: Of the 107 at Point Isabel 62 are occupied\, and of the 68 at Marina Bay 54 were occupied. That’s a Monday morning during the week. Okay\, that’s a really\, because everybody here in the recreational community knows this. We have trouble already accessing some of our sites. And that’s why we’re so worried about what’s happening in Berkeley. It’s not just Berkeley. It’s the regional \nYerba Buena SX80: role that we need you to maintain. Help us maintain to have access to the shoreline right? Not just anything. It’s parking near the shoreline that’s really critical. \nYerba Buena SX80: Just to give you context\, there are already 4\,000 104\,100 shoreline parking spaces dedicated to ferry commuters between Larkspur\, Vallejo\, Richmond\, and and Oakland. \nYerba Buena SX80: 2\,000 in larkspur\, 750 in Vallejo\, 362\, in Richmond and 1\,000 in Oakland. Those are on our shoreline. Okay\, that’s how we’re already prioritizing access to our shoreline. Your time is up. \nYerba Buena SX80: It’s 3 more minutes from allocated. That’s okay. I’ve got 2 more points I’d like to make. \nYerba Buena SX80: Please go ahead. Thank you. The case study of Albany is important because it has real implications for how we’re looking at parking in Berkeley\, right? I contacted Chris Barton\, of the East Bay Regional Park District\, who is a manager of the Bay Trail extension to the Albany Bowl. \nYerba Buena SX80: They tracked 187 daily users to the bulb prior to their renovation. All right\, all they did was formalize access to the beach via the Bay Trail extension that people were already traveling through the parking lot. They formalized it. They upgraded the Porta potties to create permanent structures there\, and they repaved a trail that was already existing on the southern neck of the bulb. \nYerba Buena SX80: They made some minor beach extensions\, but they actually fenced off most of the beach\, and they created a nicer pop out in one section. No new facilities to create new use at that spot you regularly see 250 people at the beach \nYerba Buena SX80: at the same time throughout the day. That’s why you see 85 of the 85 spots taken on a Monday morning. Right? So that beach improvement effort activated latent demand. And they’re not all swimmers and kiters running to the beach. This is what’s what’s happening. There’s a user group that isn’t here. And these are the people that just come to the shoreline to hang out with their family \nYerba Buena SX80: and be by the shoreline. It’s now impacting our ability to use it. We can’t get to the beach anymore. Swimmers don’t come to that beach because of the parking issue. I think Berkeley needs to look at what happens to the space when they actually open up the docks\, open up the pier\, create bay trails that people can walk on. You’ll see much more baseline usage there if you had a park that was properly maintained. So the parking studies that are happening \nYerba Buena SX80: are happening at an age year in the park status. So the Albany Case study\, I think\, should be in your minds when you’re thinking of what real use demand is in the area. Now\, one of the interesting groups out there that’s really hard to organize is the anglers. \nYerba Buena SX80: Right? Anglers are all over the place\, but they don’t have an official representation. Okay\, they’ve lost a couple of critical sites. The pier was a major site loss. The Bay trail extension to Albany Beach\, knocked off another part\, which is the road between Tom Bates\, sports Field\, and Albany Beach was a major fall over for them. They got knocked off that toll plaza got closed by the port authority recently. \nYerba Buena SX80: The result has been a dramatic increase in the number of board sailors being caught in fishing lines. \nYerba Buena SX80: In the past 6 months we had 4 over this weekend \nYerba Buena SX80: right? We had fishermen hanging out in his lordship’s cove\, which is one of our unofficial launches \nYerba Buena SX80: who wouldn’t move and they have a right to be there. The problem is these users now\, because we’re having access pinched from Albany and closure of other sites are moving into and competing territorially with other recreational users. So the anglers are a really good case. Study of the kinds of tensions that arise when we don’t look at the regional impacts of access to our shoreline. \nYerba Buena SX80: And I want to end this with my favorite. You’ll need to wrap up. My favorite quote from Ee. Cummings is always the more beautiful answer\, the more beautiful\, who asked the more beautiful question. And I think we need to ask more beautiful questions about what our shoreline is for than what we’re asking right now in Berkeley. Thank you very much. \nYerba Buena SX80: Madeline King\, followed by Robin Mangini. \nYerba Buena SX80: Thank you. \nYerba Buena SX80: Hello! I’m Madeline King. I’m I’m a member of the San Francisco Board Sailing Association\, and I am a recreational user at the waterfront\, and I just have a very short comment\, which is \nYerba Buena SX80: selfishly\, as a recreational user\, I’m 1 of the people you were speaking about that \nYerba Buena SX80: didn’t feel like I was polled about my feelings on the on the matter. And indeed\, that area is used by so many. \nYerba Buena SX80: as you say\, swimmers and wingers and Windsurfers and fishermen\, and etc. My one of my main concerns is the whole parking situation\, which is\, I know\, a lot of people’s concern. \nYerba Buena SX80: And \nYerba Buena SX80: people are able to park there now for free. And if that changes and there’s parking fees\, and people have less access than they did before\, that’s a concern. I’m also just curious about \nYerba Buena SX80: another large vessel moving regularly through the bay. That’s something that just\, you know. Just seeing your your map of the \nYerba Buena SX80: of the route. Just just having more large vessels moving regularly through the bay\, seems like of \nYerba Buena SX80: something that should be thought about\, which I’m sure it has been. But anyway\, those are just my my brief thoughts\, and thank you very much. \nYerba Buena SX80: Thank you very much. \nYerba Buena SX80: Hi. My name is Robin. Me and Jeannie. I’m 1 of the co-administrators of the queer swimming group called Queer Selfies Gay for the bay. We’re approximately 200 swimmers that swim in the East Bay\, and I’m here today to comment on the development project because the entry point at 1 99 seawall\, where his lordships currently is\, is a rocky train\, but is one of the 2 spots \nYerba Buena SX80: in the East Bay that our swimmers currently use to access regardless of the tide. We are also a group of a lot of floaters and people with people with disabilities. So we can’t access the water necessarily on piers\, and from what I saw from the picture\, it seems like the recreational use is going to be limited to a pier. So our big concern is accessing the water. \nYerba Buena SX80: regardless of the tide\, and\, as previously mentioned by the board sailors. It’s a really impacted area. So the idea of there being more concentration of more people\, more cars needing to park and limiting access really concerns us\, and we also were not consulted or included in the previous conversations around users. So we just want to make ourselves known. There’s also the Odyssey swimming group and the East Bay. Open water swimmers\, groups. We’re not the only ones\, and while there is some \nYerba Buena SX80: overlap\, we are a ragtag bunch. We’re not distant swimmers. We’re not competitive swimmers or people that have in the last 5 years developed this group in order to support our mental health and access the water. So this \nYerba Buena SX80: point at his lordships\, along with the enc boat ramp in Alameda\, are only one of 2 spots we can access\, regardless of the tide. So it’s a really crucial entry point for us. \nYerba Buena SX80: So we just want the Bcdc. To ask the city to conduct a more thorough and accurate analysis of parking waterfront access \nYerba Buena SX80: and commit to protecting the public amenities. Because\, as you’ve heard from my other \nYerba Buena SX80: public commenters\, it’s degraded to a point where we’re all really impacted into one area. \nYerba Buena SX80: Thank you. \nYerba Buena SX80: Thank you very much. \nYerba Buena SX80: Next speaker\, we do have online comments. So Julie Allen\, I’m going to unmute you. And you will have 3 min to speak. \nJulie Allen – swimmer: Thank you. Do you hear me now? \nYerba Buena SX80: Yes. \nJulie Allen – swimmer: All right. I’m Julie Allen. I’m a Berkeley resident and a Marina swimmer. As Robin mentioned the East Bay open water swim group uses the the Berkeley launch. We swim all over including at the Berkeley Marina\, and the \nJulie Allen – swimmer: lordship’s entry is\, as previously mentioned\, the spot where we can watch\, regardless of the tide. This is not true of the sailing basin. Anybody that’s gone down there at low tide understands that you cannot swim \nJulie Allen – swimmer: and I’ve been following this as as best I can. It’s been a little tricky. We we did manage to get a little bit of swimmer representation very\, very\, very late in this process. We’re really glad to be included. For my part\, I think I I would really like to see better parking analysis. The the parking analysis I’ve seen so far seems to exclude peak hours. \nJulie Allen – swimmer: As Andrew is saying\, the parking is very tight at at peak times. \nJulie Allen – swimmer: 1 point that I think\, also deserves a little bit of consideration is the. There are many lots in the marina. \nJulie Allen – swimmer: but many of them are not appropriate for all uses\, and so I I really hope that a lot of attention will be paid to assuring appropriate parking\, preserving\, appropriate parking\, and access for the the recreational users that that launch at that seawall space. \nJulie Allen – swimmer: I submitted some some of these comments already\, so you have them in writing\, too\, but I I thank you for letting me also talk. \nJulie Allen – swimmer: and that’s it. \nYerba Buena SX80: Thank you very much. I appreciate. Appreciate that. Input \nYerba Buena SX80: next speaker\, Erin dime\, I’m going to ask you to unmute. You’ll have 3 min to speak. \nYerba Buena SX80: Oh\, shit. \nErin Diehm: Hi! Board! Can you hear me? \nYerba Buena SX80: Yes. \nErin Diehm: Thank you for taking my comment. My name’s Erin Dean\, and I’m a resident of Berkeley\, and I care deeply about this location\, and I have to say. I’m actually very sad to see that we are discussing bringing in a ferry here\, because this is a place where people like to go to actually escape from Urban all the urban \nErin Diehm: busyness and have a place where it’s quiet. And you can really just enjoy nature. \nErin Diehm: Something that’s been a challenge is that the planning process\, the the waterfront specific plan\, has been bifurcated from the planning from the pier\, and I don’t. I\, as a community member. I simply do not understand that when we’re trying to come up with a vision for what should happen at the waterfront\, how is it that the pier. If the pier and this Wsp. Were not combined. \nErin Diehm: I’m very concerned about the economics of the area. We know that many of our transit organizations are actually struggling right now\, like Bart A/C. Transit and the Mta. And the ferry system is getting around at least a billion dollars of subsidies. I would like to see those kind of monies put into our ground transportation to get people out of their cars. \nErin Diehm: I’ve had real concerns about recreation that you’ve heard from some of the prior speakers\, and that it will bring it in the ferry will actually change the feel of the area. And a comment was made earlier about the potential of actually having parking fees which will actually \nErin Diehm: contribute to undiversifying the area. And the Kittleson parking study actually found that something like 25 to 30% of the visitors at the waterfront are actually low income. And I really worry about what will happen if parking fees are initiated there\, and parking is more restricted\, and I’m also concerned that it will interfere with the access of the windsurfers and swimmers and the wingers\, and all these people who just enjoy \nErin Diehm: access to the water. We know that his lordship\, parking lot\, has 250 spaces\, and right now I think it’s being considered to hand those over to the \nErin Diehm: to the pier. And also my last is around the environment. I care very deeply about the environment\, and I’m very concerned about what’s happening with climate change? I think you all probably have seen the state of the birds that just came out. The annual review that shows that all bird species are actually in decline except for one kind. So right now there are 10 terminals\, and the plan is to have 26\, or 27 terminals. \nErin Diehm: So I’m worried about ship strikes. \nErin Diehm: I’m worried about noise both above and below the water. I’m worried about increased turbidity that the fairy would add\, I’m concerned about light pollution which we know contributes to loss of insects and aquatic life. \nErin Diehm: And I am also concerned because in my experience I’m just a community member\, but that eirs only actually look at listed species. And so many of the species that could be impacted won’t even be considered in the environmental review. And we are on the Pacific flyway. So this is an extremely important location for biodiversity. And these kinds of developments can really just contribute to death by a thousand cuts. So essentially\, they’re creating a new highway on the water. \nErin Diehm: And I’m not. I have. I hear that I’m very concerned. And urge you to look at this very critically. \nYerba Buena SX80: Thank you. Your time is up. \nYerba Buena SX80: Thank you for that comment or comments. I should say \nYerba Buena SX80: we did receive further written submittals. I’ll read what has not already been stated. Tonight we did hear from other open water swimmers as well. There were observations that there’s been a decline in the maintenance of recreational assets\, and that these facilities are utilized by various groups\, including swimmers\, anglers\, and non-motorized recreation vessels. \nYerba Buena SX80: and then also observations that swimmers need a place to park\, a place to enter and exit the water\, and a water area relatively free of fast watercraft\, mentioning also a shower\, would be a nice amenity as well. \nYerba Buena SX80: and then from Lee Huo\, at the Mtc. Bay Trail. Their comment letter included recommendations to complete the Bay trail segment\, 4\,151 and improve segment 4\,154\, as identified in the Bay Trail Gap closure study. \nYerba Buena SX80: They requested that the Drb. Consider the width needed for the proposed Bay trail. Considering the level of demands that will be created by the proposed pier and ferry terminal as well as expected\, future levels of use in the area. They requested a 20 to 30 foot Wide Bay Trail corridor\, with additional trail width to be considered based on the need for greater capacity to accommodate the expected level of Use Bay Trail. \nYerba Buena SX80: They wanted to see the Bay trail extended to the former\, his lordship site requesting that the proposed Bay trail alignment be updated to be consistent with the adopted Bay trail alignment shown in the Bay Trail Gap map \nYerba Buena SX80: and then finally\, consider Bay trail amenities and consult with the Bay trail and active transportation team at Mtcabag to ensure consistency with the Bay trail goals and design needs \nYerba Buena SX80: and we have one more comment from somebody online. \nYerba Buena SX80: Randall Hagen\, I’m going to ask you to unmute. You’ll have 3 min to speak. \nRandahl Hagen: All right. Thank you. \nRandahl Hagen: Just echoing a lot of the comments regarding the board sailors and the swimmers access. The current access is actually great in Berkeley compared to what we have elsewhere\, especially the fake grass and the showers\, is a great amenity \nRandahl Hagen: with adjacent parking it creates a great place to gather\, and we feel a little more protected with our gear and our cars altogether \nRandahl Hagen: from vandalism\, crime\, and whatnot. We do walk barefoot across that parking lot. And to that currently non-functioning dock. \nRandahl Hagen: That dock is only really functional\, as other people said during low tide. And so you were forced to go over to the lordships. If it’s an afternoon low tide when the wind is up\, or if you want to swim. \nRandahl Hagen: I would pressure to formalize an access point with similar amenities\, or even better amenities over at Lordships. \nRandahl Hagen: because that would be a preferred access point\, I think\, for a lot of us. \nRandahl Hagen: What we want is somewhere where we can park Close. We carry gear that is unwieldy\, not easy to carry through parking lots. We’re barefoot. \nRandahl Hagen: We want it to be safe. We would like to have priority access to those amenities for the the activities we’re doing. \nRandahl Hagen: We would like to have deep water access\, and that would be at lordships. So just to echo everything \nRandahl Hagen: that has been said\, we’d love to have this opportunity to really enhance the amenities that are already there\, and protect what we have. Thank you. \nYerba Buena SX80: Thank you very much. \nYerba Buena SX80: No more hands raised. Okay. \nYerba Buena SX80: thank you\, Ashley. And I just want to say thank you to everyone who’s commented the in-person and online comments. \nYerba Buena SX80: I think this is one of \nYerba Buena SX80: the most important periods of our meetings\, because this is a chance where we really get to hear from stakeholders\, and particularly stakeholders who are interested enough to come and speak to their issues. So\, and you’ve provided a lot of detail which is incredibly helpful. \nYerba Buena SX80: So at this stage we will move to the next section of the agenda. \nYerba Buena SX80: and this is going to be a dialogue between the board \nYerba Buena SX80: and which everyone hears. But what we’ll be talking about is key information that we would want to have included for a project review\, and \nYerba Buena SX80: and we were asked by the city\, and we should keep this in mind\, as well\, you know\, as to \nYerba Buena SX80: the type of \nYerba Buena SX80: the type of content\, but also the approach to the materials that they’ll be preparing for us. You know\, what? \nYerba Buena SX80: What do we like to see? And examples of that \nYerba Buena SX80: are typically things like making sure that connection points to the Bay trail are clearly documented\, and we have sufficient context. So that would just be an example. \nYerba Buena SX80: So bored. \nYerba Buena SX80: I mean\, we’ve heard a lot of a lot of detail from the city and from the public comment on \nYerba Buena SX80: issues. Well\, 1st of all\, the proposed scope of the work\, but also issues and concerns and opportunities. \nYerba Buena SX80: And we usually look at our own policies and speak in relation to that. And of course\, I’m just gonna run down a few things and just set this up. And then let’s talk so clearly for us\, access is is a prime sort of central part of what we’re doing\, and that’s land and water access. And so I think we should talk about that\, and not from the standpoint of \nYerba Buena SX80: You know what the answers are\, but what we would want to see \nYerba Buena SX80: developed in relation to that. And I think a subset of that is clearly the relationship between access and and parking \nYerba Buena SX80: and transit and other modes. \nYerba Buena SX80: Then I think we\, you know\, if we just go down our own policies. Views are very critical. \nYerba Buena SX80: The \nYerba Buena SX80: environmental access\, particularly birds\, is something from a policy standpoint\, but also the broader biodiversity aspects. Safety is important \nYerba Buena SX80: the users and consideration of the users. \nYerba Buena SX80: The broader socioeconomic context\, which Staff usually put a lot of effort into that as well in working with the proponents. \nYerba Buena SX80: and then just related to safety. You know\, potential conflict points\, \nYerba Buena SX80: issues associated with. You know\, perhaps the current \nYerba Buena SX80: more decrepit condition of some of the parts of whether it’s the bay trail or access to the water. \nYerba Buena SX80: those sorts of issues. And then we usually talk about planting. If there’s new planting\, we don’t have details of anything like that yet. \nYerba Buena SX80: And there is a proposed plaza\, and we usually talk about signage and orientation. So these are just all of the things that we typically talk about and look for information in the in the packages. But I I just made a list. But \nYerba Buena SX80: I think maybe\, Kristen\, you might like to just sort of build on that from the standpoint of you know. What’s what you would see is critical to. \nYerba Buena SX80: you know\, to help the project proponents and to help all of the constituent stakeholders. As this really important project moves forward. \nYerba Buena SX80: Thank you. \nYerba Buena SX80: Well\, I just wanna echo. It’s really fantastic to see so many people who use the bay come out in support of their activities and hopefully\, to Bob’s earlier point. Maybe this is\, provide an opportunity for you all to kind of know each other and get organized and advocate for the things that you’re interested in. Hopefully\, you’re now plugged into this process. \nYerba Buena SX80: I there’s sort of 3 things that I’m thinking about with this. The 1st is \nYerba Buena SX80: just the ferry\, I think. \nYerba Buena SX80: an interesting question. I I sort of think of bringing a ferry because I in my mind I had the waterfront master plan still for this area in specific plan in my mind that there were going to be more development here\, and to me a ferry service is a major transit node. That kind of unlocks redevelopment opportunities\, and I think it would be interesting to know \nYerba Buena SX80: if the ferry service competes with Bart service\, or does it add another transit benefit like. \nYerba Buena SX80: how does the fairy factor into a regional story? \nYerba Buena SX80: Because I’m sort of surprised to hear from people who are worried about the environment\, but not in favor of ferries\, the 0 emissions ferry service. To me that seems like a you know\, 40% of our emissions come from transportation. \nYerba Buena SX80: And you know this is so close to the freeway where we can just see the cars pumping out gas. And so the opportunity regionally to add a 0 carbon emission connection is a is a major benefit\, potentially. And so I think understanding and maybe quantifying the benefit\, there would be helpful. \nYerba Buena SX80: I also think ferries very bike compatible as a mode. It’s very easy to just ride your bike on and put it. And so I think the idea of these bike connections\, but making sure that they feel really safe to get across the freeway. That’s an important factor\, I think. To look into. \nYerba Buena SX80: I also think. You know\, for this parking question. \nYerba Buena SX80: I think that I like to say design is sort of a tool against these 0 sum conversations. We can’t have that. These ideas compete with each other right? There’s like this analogy of 2 people are arguing over an orange\, and then it turns out one wants the peel for their cake\, and the other one wants the juice\, and everybody got the piece that they wanted. And as I’m listening to the public comment\, it sounds like a lot of the recreational activity is happening towards the southern end. \nYerba Buena SX80: And \nYerba Buena SX80: maybe there’s a way to think about the ferry parking happening in a different place\, such that you aren’t creating competition between these uses\, and I think something interesting for Kittleson to look at would be\, you know. \nYerba Buena SX80: I I’m hearing the concerns around paid parking\, limiting access. I also know that \nYerba Buena SX80: charging for parking is a way to organize \nYerba Buena SX80: access in a more equitable way. So\, for example\, if you have parking passes for\, let’s say\, the queer silkies. If you’re part of the queer silkies\, you get a parking pass\, or if you’re part of you know one of these groups. You get a parking pass which allows you to park there in in a certain zone\, and it’s directing people to park in that zone. And then if you’re a ferry user\, you get a parking pass which only works in this other area\, and maybe it costs a different amount. I do think introducing paid parking actually helps \nYerba Buena SX80: all interested parties get the levers that they’re interested in and sort of organize transportation behavior in a way that is more optimal for all parties. \nYerba Buena SX80: and I think an interesting study would also be\, you know\, parking plans. Often our tem plans are often looking at kind of peak demand times\, which is\, would be relevant to the ferry. But it sounds like there’s a lot of kind of atypical non-peak use here\, and just really doing a real study. To understand what those implications are would be really helpful. \nYerba Buena SX80: And then I think the last piece would be. \nYerba Buena SX80: you know\, looking at what are the zones that the kites? Where are they parking and doing their setup with their equipment? And then where are they? You know\, in the bay\, actually\, what areas are they using? What areas of the fisher folk using what areas of the swimmers using? What would the path of the ferry be? Actually just put these things all on paper together and understand \nYerba Buena SX80: what the conflicts might be. There might actually be less conflicts than anticipated. Or it might be it would help. \nYerba Buena SX80: maybe illuminate the ways of managing and minimizing those conflicts. \nYerba Buena SX80: But I just echo what Jacinta said this\, you know\, this seems like a really important opportunity. The presence of transportation here really unlocks more transit connectedness to this area. For folks who want to come enjoy this place. It unlocks more\, you know\, carbon free or low carbon. I don’t know if it’s I don’t know exactly how it’s 0 carbon. There’s offsets or something\, but low carbon transportation. \nYerba Buena SX80: you know\, that’s a those are very important regional priorities. So that’s my long\, rambling thoughts. \nYerba Buena SX80: If I could just build before we go to the others. Just on that point of\, you know\, a \nYerba Buena SX80: putting some effort into user mapping and lines of movement conflict points. Potentially\, you know\, tying it back to parking could be very helpful. \nYerba Buena SX80: I remember over the years in planning projects. You know\, we would sometimes do this\, you know. Exercise\, you know\, a day in the life of\, you know. But you could imagine\, with the different stakeholder groups to actually map. \nYerba Buena SX80: you know\, when are the swimmers there? And you know\, given. Obviously there are title implications\, for where the optimal points of entry are but you know what? What are the hours of the day\, you know\, fishing. You know. Just sort of really attempt to to map all of these key stakeholder groups. Obviously the sailing and windsurfing\, and all of that is is part of it. \nYerba Buena SX80: because it is a pretty complex area. And you know\, so over there today\, just walking around. And I was reminded of you know\, there are a lot of different user groups. And you’ve made a great effort at outreach\, particularly to understood unserved people. But yeah\, just sometimes diagramming these things start to help everybody understand what a what the real picture is\, you know. And you know\, why is it \nYerba Buena SX80: parking area at 80% capacity on a Monday morning in February. Who are those people there\, you know? Is it all swimmers\, or is it? \nYerba Buena SX80: Do they all go? You know\, if you looked at that same parking lot 2 h later in the middle of winter. Is that empty? Or\, you know\, are they cars that are there overnight? You know\, all of these questions are important\, I think\, to help help us understand the access picture. But I I also think that \nYerba Buena SX80: you know\, as as far as the \nYerba Buena SX80: information we like to see\, you know\, clarification of how people will be oriented. As you move into the design phase\, you know\, if you’re coming in\, you know\, are there lots that are \nYerba Buena SX80: predetermined for different activities that occur adjacent those lots? \nYerba Buena SX80: And how does the signage work. How does the access work? You know\, if there is paid parking\, or. \nYerba Buena SX80: you know\, access \nYerba Buena SX80: cards that guarantee different user groups\, different areas\, you know\, just sort of thinking that through just being able to articulate that strategy would be extremely helpful. \nYerba Buena SX80: I’ll just hold off on that. But\, Gary\, do you want to jump in with informational \nYerba Buena SX80: areas that or or materials that you would like to see in a design presentation. \nYerba Buena SX80: Sure\, maybe. Maybe. I don’t know exactly the materials\, but maybe the the topics more. So I I wanna say\, first\, st I that for the \nYerba Buena SX80: some people who are sort of anti ferry or concerned about the industrialization of the waterfront. I mean\, most people know. I think\, that Wida was started after the 89 earthquake right when the when the bridge was not functioning\, and you know it was a lifeline to the East Bay. So I think that is good context for the discussion about the about the ferry\, and whether it belongs there or not. \nYerba Buena SX80: and it is listening to all the comments I mean. It’s so informative\, and I seems like the key would be in terms of materials. Maybe it’s circulation of all types. You know how. Not just cars. But is there going to be any public transit that would be provided to serve this area better. How do bicycles arrive? \nYerba Buena SX80: You know there’s recreational bikers. And then there’s cyclists who are moving pretty quickly \nYerba Buena SX80: through. If we if you just looked at every type of possible circulation. \nYerba Buena SX80: and and overlaid them\, I think that would be super informative. \nYerba Buena SX80: And then\, obviously\, there’s a \nYerba Buena SX80: competition between\, you know\, more parking\, and\, you know concerns about open space and ecology. \nYerba Buena SX80: So I don’t have any answers for that. But it would be great to if you could figure out how to deal with the circulation in some manner other than cars\, and \nYerba Buena SX80: that kind of raises the issue of the pay parking\, which \nYerba Buena SX80: maybe that’s interesting. That \nYerba Buena SX80: you know\, paying for parking can help to to organize the parking. That’s an interesting concept. \nYerba Buena SX80: Seems like residents of Berkeley\, for example\, could have free parking. You know. I’m thinking about how in San Francisco. You know\, you can show your driver’s license at the Arboretum\, and you can enter for free. So you know\, there\, there might be some kind of program like that\, so that certain people are not\, you know\, affected\, you know. \nYerba Buena SX80: And then beyond that\, I think a phasing plan. You know to what extent you know to the extent that one could be put together to show you know how how the project would proceed\, and how each \nYerba Buena SX80: project could be \nYerba Buena SX80: brought to completion\, so that it can stand alone. Without the completion of the other phases\, because we know there’s gaps between phases and some phases\, you know\, never happened. \nYerba Buena SX80: I think that would be helpful. \nYerba Buena SX80: And then\, finally\, I wanted to address the issue of maintenance \nYerba Buena SX80: or I think that we we would like to address the issue of maintenance\, because \nYerba Buena SX80: it seems like it’s easier to find funding to\, to build things and to make new things. But it’s harder to find funding to maintain things\, and maybe that’s A comment. \nYerba Buena SX80: or it would be great to hear. You know \nYerba Buena SX80: city of Berkeley\, comment on your challenges for maintaining parks\, you know. I think it would be informative for everybody to hear that\, because I’m sure that you have challenges that not\, you know everyone is is aware of\, but I know it’s it’s \nYerba Buena SX80: It’s an issue everywhere. On every project we look at. You know that the you know how to ensure that the maintenance will continue over time\, and should there be an endowment or some kind of a fund\, you know\, to maintain these things once there’s a commitment to build them\, should the maintenance\, you know\, become part of the funding somehow. \nYerba Buena SX80: Those are my comments for now. Thanks. \nYerba Buena SX80: Hello! \nYerba Buena SX80: But \nYerba Buena SX80: thank you. So. Thanks for the presentation that was really useful. I’ve worked on a number of ferry projects and \nYerba Buena SX80: transportation ferry projects commuter ferry and \nYerba Buena SX80: yeah\, I you know. I think they definitely provide a great service. \nYerba Buena SX80: So I’m just gonna talk about\, I think\, answer the question as to what I think might be helpful for \nYerba Buena SX80: moving the design to a resolution that’s easier for the the Drb. And the Ecrb to re review. And this is\, you know\, more of an engineering perspective. \nYerba Buena SX80: I do recommend moving up more detailed analysis as part of the Eir to support the Eir \nYerba Buena SX80: I think clarifying access and recreational zones\, if you will\, similar to what \nYerba Buena SX80: Jacinta said about you know\, you know\, how do users use the site? Where\, how do they transit it. And when are they there? And things like that\, I think\, is really important\, temporal and spatial \nYerba Buena SX80: and \nYerba Buena SX80: I think wake and local traffic issues may be worth taking a look at\, and in particular\, what the operational \nYerba Buena SX80: constraints might be on the on the ferry. \nYerba Buena SX80: both due to environmental as well as traffic\, which includes recreational \nYerba Buena SX80: and I you know it’s I. I do think it would be worth considering the latent demand for \nYerba Buena SX80: this space. Although I recognize that SQL. Often looks at \nYerba Buena SX80: existing conditions which are frequently already degraded. \nYerba Buena SX80: So. But I think I think the city could probably consider through the public outreach. \nYerba Buena SX80: Consider this latent demand for parking and and access that we’ve heard about. \nYerba Buena SX80: So more specifically\, getting into the \nYerba Buena SX80: more detailed analysis on the engineering side. I think a marine analysis engineering criteria needed to inform the environmental \nYerba Buena SX80: process. I think you probably need to go to a preliminary design level \nYerba Buena SX80: to provide more confidence in the facilities\, their effectiveness and effects\, including. \nYerba Buena SX80: a comparison of alternatives\, although it’s not clear what those alternatives would be. But \nYerba Buena SX80: whatever they are\, some analysis of their \nYerba Buena SX80: function and impacts are probably worthwhile \nYerba Buena SX80: before deciding which alternative to to go forward with\, and in particular wave analysis\, including wave reflection and breakwater design \nYerba Buena SX80: obviously current. You know\, tidal currents and winds are important\, too. We mentioned \nYerba Buena SX80: our our skepticism about a 1 time dredging \nYerba Buena SX80: I know the sediment delivery to the bay has been reduced since the \nYerba Buena SX80: 18 fifties. Gold mine slug came through\, but I don’t think it’s that \nYerba Buena SX80: small. I think there’s still a lot of suspended sediment. So I’m a little surprised. \nYerba Buena SX80: I think ferry wake projections is something that needs to be addressed. I’ve seen this not addressed adequately\, and it becomes a problem in the public process with people that are sensitive to it. \nYerba Buena SX80: And that the waves that are generated by the ferries are not just\, you know\, local. \nYerba Buena SX80: They also depend on the pathway that the ferries take as they’re going as they’re planing\, and then they go from planing to displacement and from displacement to planing\, they throw a big wave or a series of bigger waves. So in the past. People have looked at ferry routes and \nYerba Buena SX80: actually have had to restrict path the the path of the ferries and also their speed \nYerba Buena SX80: to avoid throwing waves objectionable waves in certain areas. \nYerba Buena SX80: So that’s an issue with catamarans. But I I think it’s an important thing to that. The Wida should really \nYerba Buena SX80: take to heart. \nYerba Buena SX80: Frequency of operational conditions is something like you. Could I worked on the downtown ferry terminal here in San Francisco\, and there’s like we looked at all this stuff\, and I think there are other examples. But the question is\, how how often will the ferry be functional with different configurations due to things like high tides\, winds\, big waves\, currents\, all those things. So the operational \nYerba Buena SX80: criteria are important. And I think again\, conflicts with existing water dependent uses \nYerba Buena SX80: the last comment I would like to make\, which is \nYerba Buena SX80: You know\, it’s kind of personal to me that I think citizen well-being is important. \nYerba Buena SX80: and there is a demand for access into the water as well as near the water\, and I think\, which I think is arguably not recognized\, commensurate with its importance. \nYerba Buena SX80: So I’ll I’ll leave it at that. \nYerba Buena SX80: Thank you\, Bob. I’d just like to speak to 3 3 areas \nYerba Buena SX80: the 1st is the bay trail itself\, and in the presentation you accurately depicted that it’s in variable condition and the widths are variable. And so what we would like to see when you come back with you know the design \nYerba Buena SX80: advanced would be a clear diagram. \nYerba Buena SX80: showing you know what the width of the trail as proposed\, newly proposed\, and you know\, one of the public comments suggested\, you know\, between 20 and 30 feet. But I suggest\, if Staff could work with the city to determine that\, because the \nYerba Buena SX80: the real I mean the the trail at the moment is much narrower than that\, and I think some locations may prevent the trail being 18\, we would typically see 18 to 20 feet. So. And and I think if you could work through\, you know\, is it a shared use recreational bike pedestrian trail. You know how \nYerba Buena SX80: delineated that is. I noted that you’re going to have a which is great. A separated bike trail or bike path coming down University Avenue\, which is excellent\, but you know just a very clear thought through diagram on the bay trail improvements. \nYerba Buena SX80: The second area I want to comment on is the plaza you mentioned a plaza\, and you know there’s no design yet\, but you know we can all envisage\, you know\, some space there as the as the \nYerba Buena SX80: the new ferry pier meets the land\, and you know\, I \nYerba Buena SX80: plazas become complex points of interaction and cross movements\, and some\, I think\, there was mentioned of potentially programming. But it is an extremely windy area. So I would \nYerba Buena SX80: like to see when you come back with a some developed design\, how the wind would be handled. How open versus protected that space is how functional\, you know\, it can really be because\, \nYerba Buena SX80: but you know a plaza that no one can really stay in\, because it’s not. \nYerba Buena SX80: Maybe there’s not comfortable places to sit\, or \nYerba Buena SX80: you know\, there could be a variety of reasons. But but in this case\, I think the environmental wind factor is is very significant\, so you know\, like to see how that is being handled as well as it says. You know\, there’s a \nYerba Buena SX80: sign\, right? It’s a sign for the one of the restaurants. I think that is right at the entry to the Ferry Wolf. And so you know just how all of how the views you know\, to the the facility will be handled would be important. \nYerba Buena SX80: And then\, you know\, one thing that would help us a lot\, I think\, based on some of the comments we heard. You know. \nYerba Buena SX80: parking lot that’s not open. \nYerba Buena SX80: a access point to the water that isn’t functioning. \nYerba Buena SX80: It would be helpful to understand if there are some items that \nYerba Buena SX80: standard would go into a standard operational maintenance budget for the city where the city might be. \nYerba Buena SX80: Independently of this project going to be able to resolve some of these through maintenance. It would be helpful when you come back to be able to say. \nYerba Buena SX80: You know \nYerba Buena SX80: the city. The current city Ops budget\, you know\, is proposing to undertake these specific repairs. So we don’t have to. \nYerba Buena SX80: You know we don’t have to\, even if that’s to keep it going for a few years until the bigger project happens. That might be helpful for us to understand if there’s any capacity for the city to do that. \nYerba Buena SX80: Okay\, Kristen\, one more thing. Yeah. \nYerba Buena SX80: I know that the Bay area is a region that loves process. We love our process\, and sometimes it can make things so much better. And sometimes it also makes it very challenging to do things that seem like a very good idea\, like 0 emission transportation. And \nYerba Buena SX80: I. I don’t know what kind of activity Berkeley has in Sacramento. But there are some State legislations that are looking at streamlining Ceqa or removing Ceqa requirements entirely for electric trains. I don’t see why ferries couldn’t be added into that ferry projects. \nYerba Buena SX80: I would also say that\, you know\, projects like Mission Rock Pier 70 were able to get exemptions from State lands to be able to do housing. \nYerba Buena SX80: So I think some of these big regional issues\, like housing and carbon free transportation are so critical and imperative to the crisis crises that we have going on right now\, I think it would be maybe good to look at some of those opportunities to streamline some of these things to happen. \nYerba Buena SX80: and I would also say\, I don’t know if this is controversial or not\, but I would say to the extent that you could include any future dredging within the existing permit\, I \nYerba Buena SX80: would say we need to make sure it’s very easy to continue to operate. \nYerba Buena SX80: to start\, to operate and continue to operate 0 emissions. \nYerba Buena SX80: transit systems. And so if you think this might need future dredging\, and you’re not including that as part of the permit\, because you think it makes it more complicated. \nYerba Buena SX80: I would say\, do everything you can right now to set up a system that will work to Jacinda’s point about ongoing operations and maintenance. Do everything you can to make sure that this is a system that will work well in the beginning\, and will continue to work really well into the future. \nYerba Buena SX80: That’s my best advice. \nYerba Buena SX80: So I think that’s it for our feedback. \nYerba Buena SX80: we don’t want to make it sound like there is \nYerba Buena SX80: so much to do that we’ll never get there. But but certain key diagrams\, I think\, will help a lot\, and Staff can work with you on that. \nYerba Buena SX80: And \nYerba Buena SX80: I think just in summary\, I’m very grateful that everyone who spoke tonight took the time to do that. I think\, for the city. It’s very helpful to hear \nYerba Buena SX80: everyone express their concerns and interests and different groups to be able to \nYerba Buena SX80: be heard. And so I just encourage that process of interaction to keep going over the next few months as well\, because\, the more alignment there is\, you know\, when we see you next \nYerba Buena SX80: the more straightforward everything becomes. \nYerba Buena SX80: So thanks for the good work so far and thank you everyone for coming along tonight. Ashley. \nYerba Buena SX80: Let’s see\, there is a project team response. Is that correct? \nYerba Buena SX80: If you would like to provide any closing comments. You are welcome\, to \nYerba Buena SX80: sure. I’d like to provide some commentary on the dredging. \nYerba Buena SX80: we\, from the analysis that’s been done regarding sediment transportation. \nYerba Buena SX80: We do think eventually another dredging episode would be needed. We’re not saying never \nYerba Buena SX80: from a practical standpoint\, though\, the way that \nYerba Buena SX80: Bcdc and other regulatory agencies typically handle maintenance. Dredging is at most a 10 year time horizon \nYerba Buena SX80: and based on the analysis that’s been done. It’s not expected that additional maintenance dredging would be needed for more than 10 years\, therefore we do not expect to be able to include it in the project. There’s a distinction between maintenance dredging and one time dredging efforts. And that’s how the agencies tend to slice it. So that’s the practical reason for why we are not including additional dredging in this permitting effort. It’s not to say it won’t ever be needed. It’s that we kind of can’t \nYerba Buena SX80: thank you for that\, Liz. \nYerba Buena SX80: yeah\, I don’t think I have any other project specific comments to make. There’s a lot here for us to digest. I really appreciate your thoughtful review and consideration\, and we look forward to coming back with you with much greater detail in the future. Well\, thank you very much. We will look forward to seeing the project as it advances. It’s a very important project. So thank you. \nYerba Buena SX80: Okay. \nYerba Buena SX80: So I think with that we’ll adjourn the meeting. \nYerba Buena SX80: Would someone propose a motion? I’d like to make a motion to adjourn. \nYerba Buena SX80: Thank you. Gary. Second\, second\, Kristen. Okay\, all in favour. \nYerba Buena SX80: Hi\, okay. The meeting is closed. Thanks very much.

So we will continue on here. \nYerba Buena SX80: The next item on the agenda is the approval of meeting summaries for December 9\, th 2024\, and January 6\, th 2025\, and\, as usual\, we really appreciate the work that staff does preparing these meeting summaries. So we’ve all been furnished. The draft meeting summaries. Are there any comments or corrections from the board? \nYerba Buena SX80: Okay\, hearing none. And I had no comments on either of those. They were actually excellent summaries. So thank you. \nYerba Buena SX80: I would ask for a motion and a second to approve these. So make a motion to approve. Thanks. Gary. Second\, Tom\, thank you. \nYerba Buena SX80: And anyone\, we don’t have anyone online tonight. Do we know\, is there anyone who objects to the motion? \nYerba Buena SX80: Okay? So hearing none\, the minutes minutes have been unanimously adopted as amended. So \nYerba Buena SX80: thank you. Actually\, not as amended because they were excellent. \nYerba Buena SX80: And now the Board Secretary will provide a staff update. \nYerba Buena SX80: Thank you. Chair Mccann\, in January staff held an informational workshop for Commissioners on the Richmond San Rafael\, Bike Path\, Mtc. And Caltrans have submitted an application to amend the permit to modify the availability of the bike lane on the bridge from 7 days a week to 3 and a half days\, for the purpose of studying the impacts of the path on vehicular traffic. \nYerba Buena SX80: We anticipate this item will go to the Commission for a hearing and vote. In March. \nYerba Buena SX80: Our next Erb meeting will be on March 10\, th and will be a review of the Brooklyn Basin Channel Park. \nYerba Buena SX80: We will not be having a meeting in April\, and have a tentatively scheduled meeting for April 12\, th \nYerba Buena SX80: and finally\, at our last Drb. Meeting Board members had expressed interest in a walking tour meeting of the public access at Mission Bay. Please let me know your preferred Weekdays and Times\, and I will try to get that scheduled. \nYerba Buena SX80: And that\, concludes the Bcdc. Staff update. I’ll pause here to answer any questions from the board. \nYerba Buena SX80: Yeah\, just 2 2 points just on point 2. \nYerba Buena SX80: the tentatively scheduled meeting is May 12\, th right? Yeah. So make a note of that board\, members. And look as far as preferred times for the walk around Mission Bay\, which I I think would be really good to do\, actually\, why don’t I send you a couple of options? And then we can start with\, you know\, a few target dates and then see who can come. So we’ll work on it that way. \nYerba Buena SX80: I think we would need \nYerba Buena SX80: 2 h to do it\, because it involves walking some distance between the 2 parks. So yeah\, and it will need to be noticed as a public meeting. Correct? Yeah. So we’ll plan some way after that. \nYerba Buena SX80: Okay\, so let’s move on to the next item on the agenda\, which is public comment for items which are not on tonight’s agenda. And just to check here. Do we have any members of the public online? \nYerba Buena SX80: I have no hands raised online and no one in the room. Okay\, so I will not read any guidelines for that section. We will move on now to the second review of the 200 Wind River Development Project in Alameda. \nYerba Buena SX80: and I just want to remind you of the Project Review order for tonight. So we will start with the Bcdc. Staff Presentation \nYerba Buena SX80: Board clarifying questions to the staff\, and I would note here that we have reviewed the project previously. So we clarified a lot in the 1st review. So just keep that in mind when you’re asking clarifying questions. Then we’ll have the project team presentation and we’ll have board clarifying questions to the project team. \nYerba Buena SX80: public comment if any arises and then board discussion and summary\, and then a brief response from the from the project team. \nYerba Buena SX80: So with that\, I’m going to hand over to the permit analyst\, Lisa Herron\, who is going to introduce the project. So thank you\, Lisa. \nYerba Buena SX80: and I will note that Stefan Pellegrini has joined the meeting \nYerba Buena SX80: all right. Getting used to this. Thank you. Chair Mccann\, and good evening Board members. I’m Lisa Heron\, a shoreline development analyst at Bcdc. Before I present the staff introduction. I would like to remind the project team and staff to please turn on your video when you’re speaking or answering questions. When you’re not actively engaged with the board. Please turn off your video so that we can minimize distractions. \nYerba Buena SX80: And now I’d like to introduce the project for tonight’s review. This is the second review of a Life Sciences. Redevelopment project proposed by Blue Rise ventures at 200 Wind River\, in the city of Alameda\, Alameda County. The 1st review took place in December of 2023. \nYerba Buena SX80: The 200 Wind River Development Project is the last phase of a new life sciences campus at 200 Wind River way\, which would redevelop an existing 4.9 2 acre surface parking lot highlighted in red. \nYerba Buena SX80: The entire development is the 20.4 Acre Wind River campus\, highlighted in yellow\, located along the northern shore of Alameda Island. This portion of the project is bounded to the south and west by Atlantic Avenue\, to the east by Alaska Basin and to the north by the remainder of the Wind River Office campus\, whose northern boundary is the shoreline fronting the Alameda estuary. \nYerba Buena SX80: This map\, taken for Metropolitan Transportation Commission’s Interactive Bay Trail map shows some regional context for public parks\, transportation terminals and trails in the project’s vicinity. The project site is outlined in red. \nYerba Buena SX80: The site’s nearby parks include Jean Sweeney\, Open Space Park. \nYerba Buena SX80: Little John Park\, and in addition\, a bay trail segment along the eastern side of the development provides views of Alaska Basin and leads to the publicly accessible Wind River Park\, a shoreline public access area associated with the larger Wind River Office campus. \nYerba Buena SX80: So the site is currently occupied by a large surface parking lot connected to a prominent abandoned wharf which occupies the entire eastern edge of the site along Alaska Basin. The wharf is constructed of creosote\, coated timber piles and pile caps\, heavy timber decking and asphalt top surface. It’s proposed to be removed as part of this redevelopment\, this photo features a view from the southern tip of the wharf along the waterfront towards the previously developed Wind River Buildings. \nYerba Buena SX80: And now a different view. These photos are taken from the northern edge of the site connecting from the prior development of the campus you can see the edge of the wharf\, the existing shoreline trail\, and the view towards the permitted but not yet developed site across Alaska Basin. \nYerba Buena SX80: Here’s a closer look at existing conditions\, at the entry points to the site marked with the dashed yellow circles. The northwest corner of the project site is the intersection of Clement Atlantic Avenue and Sherman street which will eventually provide pedestrian access to the site. There’s also a vehicular entrance in the at the southwest corner of the site\, also circled in yellow. \nYerba Buena SX80: This is an exhibit taken from the existing permit\, 1997.0 0 9 issued in 1997. The orange area shows the public access area for the entire Wind River site with the project site outlined in red. \nYerba Buena SX80: The permit originally authorized the construction of 4\, 2 to 4 story office buildings\, each of approximately 100\,000 square feet\, and partially located within the Commission’s 100 foot shoreline band. You can see that a 5th building was constructed outside of our jurisdiction\, the permit authorized shoreline improvements\, pier replacement\, capping of contaminated materials and site improvements for circulation and public access. \nYerba Buena SX80: Phase one was building out approximately 1\,800 and \nYerba Buena SX80: 100\,800. 0\, my gosh\, okay\, 190\,000 square feet of public access\, including 10 to 12 foot wide\, paved pathways\, parking landscape improvements and amenities. Phase 2 is construction of an approximately 41\,500 square foot wooden wharf\, with furnishing signage and a 10 foot landscape\, public access connection from Atlantic Avenue. \nYerba Buena SX80: and an interpretive program and phase 3 built out 5 overlooked decks connecting pathways and furnishings and site interpretation. \nYerba Buena SX80: So to date. This permit’s been amended about 5 times or exactly 5 times\, mostly for time extensions to complete required public access. Features. Amendment number 4 reduce the dedicated public access area\, because about 4\,500 square feet was transferred to the Bcdc. Permit of an adjacent property across the Marina or across the Alaska Basin to the Marina. \nYerba Buena SX80: Okay. Now\, Bcdc’s vulnerability mapping tool shows. The project is located within a census block with a reported population of 1\,308 people\, and has low social vulnerability and lower contamination vulnerability. There are no social vulnerability indicators in the 90th percentile\, and the one social vulnerability indicator is for people who are severely housing cost burdened \nYerba Buena SX80: other census blocks near the project site vary from low to high social vulnerability and have more social vulnerability indicators. In the 70th and 90th percentile \nYerba Buena SX80: regarding potential sea level rise. This map shows what 24 inches of sea level rise would look like if the site remain unchanged on top of mean\, high\, high water. There’s no flooding at the site at its current elevation. \nYerba Buena SX80: This map shows 66. What 66 inches of sea level rise would look like if the site was unchanged. \nYerba Buena SX80: From this map you can see that the site itself is less affected than the surrounding parcels\, with a small amount of overtopping at the northern end of the larger Wind River campus. There will also be regional issues facing Alameda\, and this site in the future\, as demonstrated by the flooding on the other side of Atlantic and Clement Avenue. \nYerba Buena SX80: This is another table to help clarify some of the sea level Rise section of our staff report. \nYerba Buena SX80: So for our sea level rise analysis\, we reference the 2024 guidance from the California Ocean Protection Council\, and we use the intermediate to high scenario tables as well as the statewide average table\, and all elevations are in Navd 88. The expected life of the project is at minimum 50 years to 2075\, and the projected end of century water level of 14.5 1 feet would cause inundation\, likely at the dock and sections of the bay trail. At the site. \nYerba Buena SX80: however\, at regular\, mean\, high\, high tides\, the current shoreline elevation would be just above the 2\,100 mean\, high\, high water level of 11.2 feet. \nYerba Buena SX80: This slide provides a summary list of the Bay Plan policy and guideline questions that apply to this project. \nYerba Buena SX80: In addition\, we also have included some questions by Staff that we would like the Board to consider\, so one does the design provide legible and inviting connections from the adjacent roadways and bike pedestrian networks to draw users into and through the site to the Bay trail and Shoreline \nYerba Buena SX80: 2 is the interpretive program designed and cited to maximize the public’s use and enjoyment of the shoreline? And does the board have any design\, suggestions\, or recommendations to enhance the interpretive program for the project. 3. Are the public access areas appropriately designed to be resilient and adapted to sea level rise\, ensuring high quality\, public access\, opportunities over time. \nYerba Buena SX80: and 4. Does the Board have any recommendations regarding proposed landside amenities that support the water access proposed as part of the project is the launch area in the basin appropriately sited to encourage the public to use this feature. \nYerba Buena SX80: and with that \nYerba Buena SX80: I want to check and see if the Board has any clarifying questions for me\, or on anything presented in this introduction\, and then I’ll introduce the project team. \nYerba Buena SX80: Thank you\, Lisa. That was very helpful and and very helpful to have the added explanation on sea level rise. So thanks for that clarifying questions from the Board to Lisa. \nYerba Buena SX80: Nothing. \nYerba Buena SX80: Okay. Well\, thank you very much. That was very thorough. Okay\, we will move on to \nYerba Buena SX80: the next presentation. \nYerba Buena SX80: which is the project team presentation\, and so we’ll hand that over to the team. I’m not sure who’s presenting. But please go ahead. \nYerba Buena SX80: I can introduce you so I can introduce them. I’m sorry about that. Today we have Eric Tesca\, Vice President\, Development of Blue Rise Ventures\, and Matthew Malone\, Senior Landscape Architect with Perkins and Will \nYerba Buena SX80: and I’ll pass it over. \nYerba Buena SX80: Thank you to staff members of the Board for having us here. This is the second presentation of 200 Wind River way. I recognize all the faces from December 2023. So\, thanks for having us back \nYerba Buena SX80: as we go through this\, we’ll we’ll touch on the overall some of the overall items that didn’t change to give everybody an overview. But I’ll try not to spend too much time on that since. I think Lisa already did a nice introduction of a lot of the project background\, and we’ll try to spend more of a time focusing on the items that we’ve revised \nYerba Buena SX80: Lisa already covered this\, but the project location on the west side of Alaska Basin\, on Alameda’s northern waterfront. \nYerba Buena SX80: The history of the site in modern history. This was originally the home of the. It was the winter home of the Alaska Packers Association\, which was one of the last commercially operating fleets of tall sailing ships on the west coast. The photo in the top left is those ships anchored in the Basin during the winter. In the summer they would sail up to Alaska. \nYerba Buena SX80: bring their catch of fish back\, and then they would process them in the cannery buildings that were on this site. A lot of it was stored in the warehouse that’s at the bottom end of the basin known as the Del Monte Warehouse. For a long time and recently redeveloped as the Alta Star Harbor adaptive reuse residential project \nYerba Buena SX80: in the sixties. A Gantry crane was installed on top of the now abandoned wharf that we’re proposing to remove to allow containerized cargo. And what my understanding is\, it’s 1 of the 1st places anywhere to be set up to handle containerized cargo versus bulk cargo like fish. \nYerba Buena SX80: This is what the site looks like today. This is an aerial. If you’re over top of the Ensignel terminal site\, which is the empty wharf to the east of the Basin. \nYerba Buena SX80: looking at the Wind River campus\, facing basically straight west out to San Francisco. So the 4 existing buildings\, 300 400 500 600 Wind River way. These were built in the late nineties and early 2 thousands. On the right is the estuary and Alameda Marina\, and at the left edge of the photograph is the proposed site for 200 Wind River way\, which again\, 200 Wind River way\, was originally permitted in Permit \nYerba Buena SX80: 97 to be a building that was a perfect replica of building. 300 was never built. The original developers didn’t have a need for it. \nYerba Buena SX80: and we’re part of this proposal is to basically slide the siding of that building south and enlarge it to respond to current site and market conditions. \nYerba Buena SX80: This is what the site looks like today. It’s it’s basically an asphalt parking lot alongside of Alaska basin with a large wharf similar to the picture that Lisa showed along the western edge of the basin. \nYerba Buena SX80: the before and after public access diagram. This comes from the existing permit. So the building\, highlighted in yellow at the left side of this diagram is the original site and footprint of 200 Wind River way. \nYerba Buena SX80: In the time since 1997\, Atlantic\, Clement and Sherman Street have been brought together in A. T intersection Clement Avenue coming in from the East didn’t formally exist. That’s a recent improvement. That was part of the \nYerba Buena SX80: Alta Star Harbor\, the residential project across the street that renovated the Del Monte Warehouse. So on the right shows the proposed siting. And basically we’ve taken the building and reshaped the footprint and slid it to the south to have more of an urban presence on the street\, which again didn’t exist at the time of the original. Permit. \nYerba Buena SX80: And then also\, you can see that we’ve in shown\, dashed and hashed is the footprint of the the wharf the which is in fairly poor condition that we’re proposing to remove removing those creosote coated piles from the bay. That’s about 41\,000 square feet. But then we’re taking and replacing that public access inland. And so we’re moving the bay trail and the public access inland which results in a net gain of about a thousand square feet of public access. \nYerba Buena SX80: Yeah\, go ahead. \nYerba Buena SX80: We recognize that the site sits at this important intersection of public space and pedestrian connectivity\, right across the street from Jean Sweeney Park. The recent completion of Clement Avenue and the Alameda Cross\, Alameda Trail\, as well as the Alaska Basin waterfront. Stitching these spaces together was the primary driver of our site design\, and we very intentionally wanted to welcome people around and through these spaces\, giving them access to the water and all points beyond. \nYerba Buena SX80: The building sits within the intersection of these desired connections in an acute L-shaped configuration framing an interior courtyard that’s oriented towards the water \nYerba Buena SX80: The prominent position on the corner of the new three-way intersection was an intentional move towards a more urban approach to the campus development. \nYerba Buena SX80: Sherman Walk was originally envisioned to be a publicly accessible street and new gateway into the campus\, but after consulting with the city and weighing the potential conflicts with pedestrian and bike circulation\, we decided to develop this as a grand pedestrian walkway\, leading users directly from Jean Sweeney Park to the water’s edge\, replacing the somewhat circuitous route. They currently have to walk through the parking lot just to the north. \nYerba Buena SX80: as you can see by the dashed outline and the notes on the plan. We plan to demolish the dilapidated timber wharf and transform what’s currently a parking lot into very green and activated waterfront that that gives an opportunity for campus users and the public alike to engage and interact with this new shoreline. \nYerba Buena SX80: So what we heard from the board in December of last 2 years ago\, and how we responded\, so I’m just gonna go over what we took away from that meeting. \nYerba Buena SX80: There should be a way for the public to actually get down to the water and use the waterfront\, be aware of overprogramming the public space that we were showing ping pong tables. They may feel too corporate. They may be difficult to maintain and manage as an amenity. \nYerba Buena SX80: The shoreline parking spaces shouldn’t feel like they’re in the building’s back of house. The connection from that public shoreline parking should be more clear. The area felt underdesigned. \nYerba Buena SX80: The small triangular parking lot which is at the north end of the building between the north. The northeast face of the building and the shoreline felt too congested. \nYerba Buena SX80: The Bay trail should be a minimum 18 feet wide. To expand the site\, plan diagram to show more of the pedestrian connections to the adjacent sites. \nYerba Buena SX80: to show more detail of what is the experience of entering the site. From the the three-way intersection up that pedestrian pathway to the north edge of the building that runs northeast\, southwest that we call Sherman Walk. \nYerba Buena SX80: How legible is this site entrance\, and that the intersection of Sherman Walk and the bay trail is a keynote. What happens there? \nYerba Buena SX80: And we’ll go over these in more detail on the following slides. But we’ve added a small public dock with a small craft launch and staging area. We’ve redesigned the southern parking lot to reduce spaces and give more more detail and also more of a landscape buffer between the bay trail and the parking spaces. We’ve reduced some parking spaces in that northern lot that felt too congested. \nYerba Buena SX80: We’ve made sure that all sections of the bay trail are 18 feet wide. We’ve added a series of renderings to show the experience of entering the site at the western corner. Walking up Sherman Walk towards the Bay trail. And what happens at that intersection between the 2 pathways? \nYerba Buena SX80: And then we’ve expanded the Site plan and shown a more detailed diagram of all the different pedestrian connections into the site. \nYerba Buena SX80: So this is the this is the Revised Site Plan looks fairly similar to the site plan as presented\, which was 2 slides ago\, but we’ll zoom into different portions of these\, so you can see better the adjustments that were made. So we’ve added 10 shoreline parking spaces in the northern parking field. The ones just along the waterfront north of the building \nYerba Buena SX80: revised the layout of the intersection. The plaza at the intersection between the bay trail and Sherman walk slightly\, and we pulled the vehicular crossing back to give it a little more breathing room. From cars. Again we deleted a whole row of parking spaces that were fronting right up against the bay trail and replaced that with more landscape buffer \nYerba Buena SX80: Bay trail 18 feet wide. We’ve added that public dock with a small craft launch as well as a potential future landing place for a public water shuttle \nYerba Buena SX80: with a staging area at the top that replaced the \nYerba Buena SX80: the ping pong tables. So that’s a place to break down your Windsurf. Rig your stand up\, paddle board\, assemble it\, break it down\, hose it off. \nYerba Buena SX80: removed some of the non public parking spaces in that Southern lot to give it a little more breathing room between the cars and the Bay trail\, and then we’ll zoom in on that. So you get a little more detail of how we’ve refined the pathway connection that gets you from Clement Avenue to the parking spaces and out to the bay trail. \nYerba Buena SX80: Good! \nYerba Buena SX80: And then this is just a key plan that shows some of the features of the site\, and the red triangles with the numbers on them\, show the different viewpoints of the renderings that will show. But we’ll we’ll reorient everybody as we show those renderings. \nYerba Buena SX80: It’s also worth noting that in the 1st time we presented this what is now called the Bay trail we had called the shoreline Trail\, because it was only\, I think\, about a month before our 1st presentation that it was formally adopted as the Bay trail. The trail’s always been there\, but it wasn’t formally part of the bay trail until recently. \nYerba Buena SX80: and then this was a request forward to me through Lisa to show a a side by side of the 2 site plans. And I will say\, at this scale\, it’s hard to see most of the revisions that were made. But we’ll we’ll zoom into the different areas and give more detail. \nYerba Buena SX80: This is the expanded site plan diagram. So here we’re showing in orange the existing and proposed bay trail and then pedestrian walking paths as well as bike paths. \nYerba Buena SX80: So basically\, the site sits at the the confluence or divergence point of the bay trail and the Cross Alameda trail\, which is \nYerba Buena SX80: The Cross Alameda Trail\, is a combination of a dedicated cycle track and a pedestrian sidewalk separated that run along the site. They cross the street at the right\, at the T intersection\, and then they keep going west through Jean Sweeney. Open Space Park\, Atlantic Avenue has on street bike lanes and sidewalks on both sides\, as well as Sherman Street\, has the same. \nYerba Buena SX80: Clement Avenue has again the Cross Alameda trail\, the cycle track on the north side\, and then a pedestrian sidewalk on the south side\, and all of those different trails come together at the Atlantic Avenue\, Sherman Street\, Clement intersection. So that’s a really key pedestrian node \nYerba Buena SX80: in the the original concept of this\, when it was 1st presented to the city of Alameda\, the what is now Sherman Walk\, a pedestrian street was originally going to be a vehicular street which is going to come into the site. So we’d create a four-way intersection. But after looking at it again\, and talking with the Alameda planning staff. \nYerba Buena SX80: we felt it was probably more appropriate to take and make that a dedicated pedestrian way to leave the 3 way intersection as it was\, and dedicate that connector from the intersection out to the bay trail as pedestrian only \nYerba Buena SX80: and then at the southern tip of the site\, the southeast tip. You can see where the bay trail turns north and goes along the waterfront between the building and the the portion of the wharf that we’ll be keeping. Just gonna have a renovated surface on it with public amenities. And then that connects and continues north past 3\, 4\, 5 and 600 Wind River way\, and continues around the north end of the site to the west towards Incidental Yacht Club. \nYerba Buena SX80: This is an enhancement of the southern end of the site. So the key changes that were made here in response to comments was \nYerba Buena SX80: again where the number 10 is up at the top of the page used to be ping pong tables\, and there was no public doc. So in response to the the idea of \nYerba Buena SX80: giving the public a way to actually get to the water. We’re proposing a public dock with a small craft launch that we would attempt to make part of the formal Sf. Bay water trail. I think that would be a nice feature. And then\, as part of the guidelines of the water trail\, there’s the staging area at the top\, which is basically an open area which is available for people to set up\, break down their standard paddle boards\, windsurf rigs. What have you? And that replaces the ping pong tables\, which we think were \nYerba Buena SX80: probably not the the best the best amenity for that area. \nYerba Buena SX80: And then at the parking lot. What we’ve done is\, we’ve deleted a handful of parking spaces which allows us to pull that \nYerba Buena SX80: the corner of those parking spaces which were previously almost touching the Bay trail to pull those back a little farther\, and then we’ve extended. You can see a pathway that goes from the Clement Avenue crosswalk connects that Crosswalk to the bay trail \nYerba Buena SX80: with a spur that picks up the the parking spaces. And so that’s really best illustrated in the next rendering\, which is\, if you’re standing where the number 14 Arrow is is. If you just come across the crosswalk walking north into the site\, and you’ll see the parking the shoreline parking on your left \nYerba Buena SX80: and the bay trail on your right. \nYerba Buena SX80: and this is this is really to answer what was a key question is\, what is the experience of coming into the site through these entry points. \nYerba Buena SX80: So as if you’ve just crossed Clement\, you’re walking north. You can just get a hint of Brooklyn Basin way in the background\, the water on the right side\, the building 200 Wind River way on the left\, with the public shoreline parking spaces and a very easy\, clear route for people to get from their cars out to the bay trail. \nYerba Buena SX80: We’ve also as part of reducing those parking spaces. We’ve added some more landscape in the parking lot to try and create a little bit more of a feeling of separation between the where the cars are parked and the loading dock of the building we considered moving all of the public shoreline\, parking out of this area into a different part of the site. But I think\, at the end of the day this is a much clearer\, more direct way for people to get to the site \nYerba Buena SX80: you’re driving along Clement Avenue. You pass by the water where you can really see it clearly\, and the next driveway you turn right in. It’s very clear and obvious how you get to the parking versus if you were to try and get to the parking spaces farther north\, even though you’re not near the loading dock of the building. It’s a much more circuitous route through those parking lots. So we just felt the clarity of where to park \nYerba Buena SX80: kind of outweighed that. But then we also balance that by adding additional parking spaces north of the building. \nYerba Buena SX80: This is just to the right of that viewpoint. If you’re coming in the site\, if you’re walking along the bay trail from the direction from the east is if you were coming from Fortman Marina\, and you’re just starting to pass by the parking turn right where it goes north up the the waterfront. \nYerba Buena SX80: and you can see that the existing wharf that’s been renovated with the public dock coming off it to the very right side of the photo. \nYerba Buena SX80: and by removing that timber wharf it really opens up views to the water. \nYerba Buena SX80: Yeah. \nYerba Buena SX80: And then again\, another main entry point to the site. So the question\, What is the experience of entering the site through Sherman Walk? And how legible is that site entrance? So a series of 3 renderings a in the top right? Because if you’re standing in the crosswalk at that intersection\, looking towards the building \nYerba Buena SX80: in the bottom left as if you’re midway up that pathway around the main entrance to the building\, and the different color paving indicates the the cross traffic from the employee parking lot to the building entrance\, and then the final. The bottom right is\, if you’re approaching that intersection where there’s a small plaza between Sherman Walk\, where it meets the Bay trail \nYerba Buena SX80: which would also be a place for some type of interpretive program that’s still being developed. And you can see the future and sentinel terminal site beyond. \nYerba Buena SX80: at the north end of the wharf\, another zoom in. \nYerba Buena SX80: So here this is where you can see there were formerly a row about 10 parking spaces that were right\, this small triangular parking lot. They were on the east side of that\, filling that whole space where you you basically would have bumpers of cars almost kind of hanging over the bay trail. So we’ve deleted that \nYerba Buena SX80: entire row of spaces responded to the comment that it felt too congested\, which we agree. And so now you won’t have headlights shining out to the water. You won’t have cars potentially infringing on the bay trail\, and just generally more landscape buffer\, more separation between cars and pedestrians. \nYerba Buena SX80: We looked at removing that lot entirely\, but it’s part of the emergency vehicle access to keep our our fire. Access to the water side of the building \nYerba Buena SX80: next rendering is from position 18 up at the top of the page\, looking downwards\, so you’ll see the Sherman walk to your right\, the building 200 in front of you\, and the bay trail to the left. \nYerba Buena SX80: So this is that keynote where the bay trail meets Sherman Walk \nYerba Buena SX80: which takes you towards straight towards Jean Sweeney Park\, off to the right. \nYerba Buena SX80: and then down straight south towards Clement Avenue\, and you can see all the Star Harbor again. That adaptive reuse housing project in the distance. \nYerba Buena SX80: Great\, thank you\, although we don’t call too much attention to it. I did want to point out that we do have a remnant sort of rail spur that we would like to install along the trail\, and we? We thought that that would be a really cool sort of nod to that history of this being the terminus of all those rail lines\, and a place of sort of loading and unloading that cargo. \nYerba Buena SX80: thinking about that sort of hosting\, some rolling lounge chairs\, and probably some other furnishings along the way. But in addition to that\, we really think that that node at the end of Sherman Walk in the Bay trail is an important place arrival moment at the site. And so we’re looking at opportunities through light or special paving\, or the variety of things that you see here to really sort of tell that \nYerba Buena SX80: really interesting story of the of the shipping and and container industry that used to be here. \nYerba Buena SX80: We haven’t fully. We haven’t really fully developed the interpretive and or public art program for this area. But we\, we think it would be really interesting if it were some kind of nautical artifacts that speak to the industrial history of the site\, and particularly the scale of that industrial history\, so that you can\, in an experiential and tactile way\, sort of understand the massive scale of what used to happen there being a really heavy industrial site. So things like. \nYerba Buena SX80: obviously\, it’s it’s almost the the history of container shipping is so important to this site that it’s almost unfortunate that things made out of shipping containers are so common because it would be so appropriate here. But again\, it is\, it is. \nYerba Buena SX80: I don’t say overdone\, but it’s it’s well done. But ships\, propellers\, anchor chains\, anchors. You know\, dock lines. There’s along the site. Now there’s these massive cleats where the ships used to tie up\, and they’re all just very interesting objects that that really just you see them and you touch them\, and they sort of connect you to the just the scale of the type of industry that used to happen there\, and the history of it. And so \nYerba Buena SX80: the the idea for an interpreter program kind of revolves around ideas like that. And we’re we’re obviously very open to feedback about what you all think would be. You know\, right for that. \nYerba Buena SX80: that area \nYerba Buena SX80: getting close to the end. We’ve tried to focus more on the shoreline improvements than we did on the building. I think our 1st presentation. We had more renderings of the building itself. So we mostly focused on the shoreline. But this is just a good overall view that really gives you kind of an idea of the materiality and the scale and form of the building with those shoreline improvements in the foreground. So where you see bay trail running east to west or north to south\, sorry left to right across the image. Basically\, the the public shoreline areas\, everything from that. And towards the foreground. \nYerba Buena SX80: Another view from a similar vantage point just looking left down the bay trail again towards Clement\, you see those rolling lounge chairs that are on sort of rails as a homage to the rail spur and the crane rail that used to roll longitudinally along that wharf \nYerba Buena SX80: sea level rise resiliency. So the only changes to this diagram is that you no longer see a a car parked along the bay trail because we deleted those parking spaces\, and on the lower image\, you see a the public dock\, just off of the portion of the wharf that will remain. \nYerba Buena SX80: You talk about materials? \nYerba Buena SX80: Sure thing\, it’s a it’s a fairly simple palette of resilient materials\, wood decking to cover that existing concrete structure. As I mentioned\, maybe repurposing some rails to run alongside it pavers\, and our special moments decomposed granite for the shoulders\, concrete sidewalks \nYerba Buena SX80: home. \nYerba Buena SX80: and then our planting\, you know\, we went out to the site and borrowed very heavily from the existing landscape\, looked at things that were thriving out there\, and then paired\, that with some other bay\, friendly and drought\, tolerant plants. \nYerba Buena SX80: and the last slide just a summary of the community engagement that we’ve done so far. So we’ve talked to Mtc. Bay trail about just the the location and the design of the bay trail\, because\, you know\, we are proposing to rebuild the section of Bay trail where signage would be appropriate the Alameda Tma regarding the location of the public dock as it pertains to potentially being a future site for the Oakland Alameda Water shuttle\, which is new as of last summer \nYerba Buena SX80: Sf. Bay Area water trail again for that small craft launch Bike walk Alameda \nYerba Buena SX80: The city of Alameda planning Commission. We’ve been to one public hearing and are planning to do another\, either in late spring or summer of this year. \nYerba Buena SX80: Ensignal Yacht Club\, which is our next door neighbor\, as well as the Oakland Yacht Club\, just to the west of the Ensignal Yacht Club\, and then also some more outreach pending to that we’re waiting to hear back from the friends of Gene Sweeney Park and the Okilani outrigger canoe Center\, which is on the south shore of Alameda. \nYerba Buena SX80: That’s it. \nYerba Buena SX80: Yeah\, well\, look\, thank you very much. And I just want to recognize the work that’s gone into this project in the intervening year or so. \nYerba Buena SX80: Really appreciate that. And the time you’ve taken to summarize and present the proposal so clearly today. So thanks\, guys\, Rip\, that’s very much appreciated. Let’s just move to clarifying questions from the board. Gary\, do you want to kick off? \nYerba Buena SX80: Yeah\, I had just a question about the trees\, because I know some of your renders show that \nYerba Buena SX80: some of the renders show trees very prominently as part of the big design idea. What kind of trees are you thinking about? I think it’s a tough\, growing environment. I want to benefit from the research you’ve done. Luckily we have our landscape architect here\, the perfect person to answer that question. \nYerba Buena SX80: Yeah\, that’s a that’s a great question. \nYerba Buena SX80: you can see you can see our our plant list here at the bottom. We’re looking at London. Plain trees in the parking lot. The let’s see the water gum and big leaf maple. Primarily\, I think\, along that waterfront. \nYerba Buena SX80: Okay\, thank you. And then I have a question for Staff. I’m just curious\, like the the details\, such as\, like the rolling lounge chairs\, or whatever to what extent are those you know\, enforceable? Or is that likely to show up at the end of the project? \nYerba Buena SX80: So our policies and guidelines speak to usability? So if there were. I think we’re all familiar with the High Line\, and how\, when it 1st opened\, there was the rolling lounges that had to actually be locked down because they were causing safety issues. We would want to avoid any development of a park that had safety issues. So if it could be designed in a way \nYerba Buena SX80: that was safe. It would be fine. \nYerba Buena SX80: we’d probably describe it as rolling\, but I don’t know. \nYerba Buena SX80: I think we would have to view it as like \nYerba Buena SX80: if it became a safety hazard\, we could remove the rolling condition. \nYerba Buena SX80: So that so that’d be one thing is \nYerba Buena SX80: you know\, evaluating it for safety and appropriateness. And then the other thing is. \nYerba Buena SX80: if it turns out that there’s value engineering and it goes away completely. Is is any of that \nYerba Buena SX80: enforceable. Or it would just be like\, equivalent seating would suffice. Yeah\, we would be looking for equivalent seating. Okay? So it’s a concept at this point. Yeah\, okay\, thank you. \nYerba Buena SX80: Tom. \nYerba Buena SX80: Tom. \nYerba Buena SX80: Thanks. Just a few couple of random questions. 1st of all\, are there \nYerba Buena SX80: existing industry or maritime industrial \nYerba Buena SX80: relics there that are of interest. I think you mentioned anchor\, Clea\, to the other things. Is there a whole lot of stuff? Or \nYerba Buena SX80: I’m trying to think on the site existing. \nYerba Buena SX80: the ones the most interesting ones that come to mind are the the probably the cleats along the edge of the wharf. Yeah\, they’re they’re. \nYerba Buena SX80: you know. They look like the cleat that you’d see on a on a boat that are usually about that long\, but they’re about 5 feet long\, and they look like they weigh about 500 pounds. What exactly we do with them. I haven’t totally figured that out\, but I mean. They are a really interesting artifact. \nYerba Buena SX80: you know\, I think \nYerba Buena SX80: honestly\, the facade of the Del Monte Warehouse\, which is again was adaptly reused into a A residential project just at the across the street is a really interesting relic of the maritime history of that site\, because it’s a it’s a huge brick warehouse\, and that is where they used to store things. \nYerba Buena SX80: you know\, I \nYerba Buena SX80: most of what used to be there\, I think\, was\, you know the the warehouses\, the cannery\, but those were all. Those were all demoed in the nineties when the \nYerba Buena SX80: the site was redeveloped. There actually are on the wharf. There’s also the original steel rails that the the Gantry crane used to ride north and south\, on which there might be something interesting to be done with those. \nYerba Buena SX80: Second question on the cross section. \nYerba Buena SX80: I’ve just one thing I didn’t understand. \nYerba Buena SX80: it’s possible. Yeah\, it it shows on there \nYerba Buena SX80: future adaptive measure dotted line. \nYerba Buena SX80: which is\, I guess\, for 2\,100 sea level rise. \nYerba Buena SX80: Yeah\, the the idea is\, you know\, the expected life of this project is somewhere in the 50 to 75 year range. And so we’re above all of the the sea level datums other than the base flood elevation in the year 2\,100. So the idea is\, the the \nYerba Buena SX80: 1st floor of the building is above that datum. But the existing wharf surface is not so. The the idea is just to say that if this project actually makes it to the year 2\,100\, and that level of sea level rise does come to pass that basically\, we would just be raising the bay trail and the shoreline improvements. You’re tied to the these elevations because the existing \nYerba Buena SX80: elevation. And so it would be for kind of \nYerba Buena SX80: difficult right? Yeah\, if we were building it new\, we would build it higher. But it is\, you know\, it’s from 1929\, I think. Just \nYerba Buena SX80: one more question\, and this is nothing to do with the shoreline band. I’m sorry\, but I’m curious about the vehicular situation. \nYerba Buena SX80: Do you have a a drop off \nYerba Buena SX80: along Atlantic Avenue. I see Ballards and a plaza there. What do you do about \nYerba Buena SX80: door? Dash\, dash\, and and Uber\, and people drop all that stuff they go through the parking lot. \nYerba Buena SX80: Yeah\, let me get back to the Site plan here. So anybody who’s coming to park their car to use the building. They would come in. I don’t know if anybody can see my mouse. Probably not. The main entrance to the Wind River campus is at the kind of top left corner of this image. It’s really screened back. So it’s hard to see. But if you were\, if you were dropping something off the front door of the building\, you would come in the main driveway you’d pull in. You turn right and arrive at the front door\, so there’s no on street drop off. It would all be in the parking lot to the north. \nYerba Buena SX80: Okay? And then related to that is Sherman away \nYerba Buena SX80: Fire Lane emergency vehicle. All that. \nYerba Buena SX80: Yes\, Sherman. So yeah. Sherman Street\, the public street to the south. But then Sherman walk alongside the north edge of the building. That is fire egress. So those are collapsible bollards. \nYerba Buena SX80: collapsing. Football is in the street. Sorry not fire egress\, fire access. That’s that’s A\, that’s the fire line need to come in from Atlantic\, yes\, yeah. \nYerba Buena SX80: thanks \nYerba Buena SX80: okay leo\, thank you for the presentation very thorough very\, very easy to understand\, maybe just a couple of points of clarification. \nYerba Buena SX80: the the main rendering from Atlantic. Clement. Am I correct in reading this\, that there’s actually should be a row of trees closer to the building. I just want to make sure that I’m understanding plan versus the renderings. \nYerba Buena SX80: I’m gonna guess we render that we took those out so you could see the building facade and entry more clearly. But \nYerba Buena SX80: so the intent is the plan. \nYerba Buena SX80: Yeah\, okay\, thanks. \nYerba Buena SX80: And then back to the trees that gary was asking about. \nYerba Buena SX80: It seems like our our. I’m not a landscape architect\, but I’m curious if that you’re looking to native species and species for \nYerba Buena SX80: or drought tolerant for this environment. Yes\, yes\, we would love to. Unfortunately\, there aren’t a ton of native species that get large enough that you would \nYerba Buena SX80: that are really appropriate for us to sort of achieve the canopy that we’re looking for\, but definitely open to using anything that \nYerba Buena SX80: we might be able to. Okay. Yeah. For example\, the maples seem like they’re they’re not indigenous\, right? \nYerba Buena SX80: They’re not indigenous. No\, no\, but every everything is drought tolerant and already found on the site. \nYerba Buena SX80: I think. Yeah\, that’s that’s my question. Thanks. Thanks\, Leo. \nYerba Buena SX80: Bob\, go ahead. \nYerba Buena SX80: Thank you. Yeah. Thanks for the presentation. So a couple of. I have 2 questions. So I think I read that there’s a the program would include authorization for additional length of rock prevention. \nYerba Buena SX80: And I think that’s related to the timber wharf removal. \nYerba Buena SX80: Think I got that right right? But I was just wondering what the nexus is\, and between the wharf removal and the rock revetment and \nYerba Buena SX80: or it\, maybe it was an access. Now you can access the shore. You want it to look well\, because I don’t think the \nYerba Buena SX80: the wharf would have knocked the waves down much\, or maybe it did. I don’t know but and and where? Where is the river? Like I didn’t. Yeah\, it’s a good question. It’s \nYerba Buena SX80: It’s something that may or may not be necessary\, depending on exactly what condition we find when that wharf is removed\, so it’s pretty deep\, and it’s really hard to see what is all the way back behind it\, especially sort of in the lower corner\, where it meets \nYerba Buena SX80: the the bottom end of the basin. \nYerba Buena SX80: it\, to my knowledge it that the Riprap shoreline basically goes underneath of the wharf all the way from the north edge of the site to the south. \nYerba Buena SX80: The yeah\, underneath the it. It’s really you’re right. It’s underneath the concrete portion of the wharf. The timber portion of the wharf sort of outboard of that\, and totally in the water. So \nYerba Buena SX80: but it\, it’s basically saying that we may need to repair. Replace some of it if we find it to be displaced or some of it missing. So basically on the just on the short perimeter of your site\, like underneath the concrete. Okay\, yeah. I mean\, that makes sense to me. I just\, I just wanted to understand that. Yeah\, not planning to add any large swaths of new riprap areas. It’s more of just repair. Once we see what’s there. Right? Okay\, thank you. My second question is\, \nYerba Buena SX80: can you describe the boat dock use\, especially in terms of the hand carry carried boat craft. \nYerba Buena SX80: and I guess I’m particularly trying to understand which which I think is a great thing\, but I’m just trying to understand. \nYerba Buena SX80: It sounds like they can bring their equipment up on the land or down from the land to the dock. \nYerba Buena SX80: and I was wondering how they cross the bay trail. \nYerba Buena SX80: 2 vehicles\, or if that is part of what the programming includes. \nYerba Buena SX80: Yeah. So \nYerba Buena SX80: we actually have a supply of. So we’re also the operators of the research park at Marina Village\, which is about a 1.3 million square feet of office and life science space. And one of the things we have for tenants is a handful of kayaks and paddle boards. We’ve actually got these little rolling dollies that they put them on. So basically\, you take the kayak\, and one person can roll it on this dolly with a handle \nYerba Buena SX80: and roll it around easy. But yeah\, basically\, somebody would park their car\, put the kayak or the paddle board on a dolly. If it’s you know Kayak or a paddleboard. I guess you can just carry. But yeah\, you know\, carefully cross the bay trail and walk onto the wharf. It’s basically yeah. I was just wondering. I mean\, I\, \nYerba Buena SX80: most people are very considerate\, and obviously it would slow down just because of the people walking around and the congestion and everything. But yeah. Just wonder if there’s you might need to slow down the bicycles somehow\, with some sort of yeah\, there may be slowing elements\, probably some kind of either signage or treatment of the paving to indicate that there’s a crossing there. It’s just sort of by nature\, you know. The bay trail runs between the parking lot and the water. So somebody’s gonna have to cross it at some point. \nYerba Buena SX80: right? It’s not the 1st place that that conflict exists. Thank you very much appreciate it. Thank you. Okay\, thanks\, Bob. I’ll Stefan. \nYerba Buena SX80: I just have one clarifying question about the the rail spur. \nYerba Buena SX80: And could you add. \nYerba Buena SX80: show us exactly where that might be on the plans and sort of the extent of \nYerba Buena SX80: what you hope to preserve. \nYerba Buena SX80: You mean where the original rail spur was. Yeah\, I think you described that it would be incorporated into the \nYerba Buena SX80: sort of the Wharf Bay trail edge. Is that right? \nYerba Buena SX80: Yeah. The original. So Gene Sweeney\, open space park was up until it was developed as a park was a giant rail switching yard. And you can kind of see in this photo that rail. Spur. It turned. It went from the east west\, where you see Gene Sweeney open space. It turned north and kind of ran straight up through the middle of the Wind River campus out to what was a ship pier that was. The the abutments of it are still there at the north end of the site. \nYerba Buena SX80: And then so there’s that. That was the rail spur. And then there was also the the steel rails that the gantry crane on the wharf itself ran up and down on\, so it’s proposed as more of a not literally preserving them\, but more of a \nYerba Buena SX80: more of a reference to the former rail yard by the use of rails along the wharf. So could you speak to the Gantry Crane line? Is that something that’s actually also being preserved? Or are you proposing to recreate something not preserved because it’s on the timber portion of the wharf that is\, again\, it’s in really too poor of a condition to try to save. But we would be basically kind of recreating it further inland. Okay\, thank you for that clarification. \nYerba Buena SX80: Hey? Thanks\, Stefan. just one question for me. \nYerba Buena SX80: just remind us of your approach to maintenance going forward. How? How would you handle maintenance for the project? \nYerba Buena SX80: So we? The whole research park is\, I think it’s \nYerba Buena SX80: I think it’s about 30 acres. We have a a contract with a landscape maintenance company that basically is on site full time maintaining\, you know\, all of our landscaping. But \nYerba Buena SX80: I think I know where this question is coming from. And I think. \nYerba Buena SX80: We’re starting now\, I will. I will say that I think over the past couple of years. Some of the areas around the shoreline have gotten a bit overgrown. But starting a month ago\, we are putting more attention on \nYerba Buena SX80: maintenance specifically of the shoreline itself. So we we picked up about\, I don’t know 5 pickup truck loads worth of garbage that had accumulated down at the water’s edge. \nYerba Buena SX80: no excuse for letting it get that way. Basically\, it’s it’s just until you actually walk up to the edge of it and look over. It’s oftentimes kind of hard to see what is accumulated on the Riprap and it\, you know\, it was brought to our attention the condition that it was in by some of our neighbors from the Oakland Yacht Club\, and \nYerba Buena SX80: when we went out there and looked for it ourselves. You know\, we immediately got a crew out to again pick up\, probably several 100 pounds worth of various garbage that had accumulated on the shoreline. So we’re gonna keep doing that periodically\, probably every quarter. Send a a crew of people around to pick up and then we’re we’re also \nYerba Buena SX80: now working our way around the shoreline and cutting down some of the the just larger brush. That’s sort of overgrown out of the riprap and blocked some of the views. \nYerba Buena SX80: also\, we’re gonna be repaving a lot of the asphalt paths in Wind River Park. Come this spring once the rain stops\, because a lot of it has gotten pretty degraded. So I think it’s just an area that we didn’t pay enough attention to over the last few years\, because it is physically the most remote from our office at the east End or the west end of the site \nYerba Buena SX80: but now that’s been brought to our attention\, we’ll be focusing more on it. So I think it’s basically\, the answer is\, we’re gonna maintain it the same way we do the rest of the campus. We just put more focus on this area and not \nYerba Buena SX80: basically \nYerba Buena SX80: not ignore it\, even though it’s so physically farthest away from where we all work. Okay\, thank you. \nYerba Buena SX80: Awesome. \nYerba Buena SX80: Okay? So that concludes the clarifying questions. \nYerba Buena SX80: we now move to public comment. If we have public comment. \nYerba Buena SX80: I see no hands raised online. So no public comment. Okay? Oh\, I’m sorry. Yes. \nYerba Buena SX80: we did receive 2 public comment emails that have been forwarded to the Design Review Board\, and I’ll provide those summaries now \nYerba Buena SX80: Katie Hofstetter from Strata Development Group and an Alameda resident \nYerba Buena SX80: strata recently acquired the Star Harbor Apartment building across Clement Avenue from the 200 Wind River site. \nYerba Buena SX80: She expressed support for this project\, observing it\, proposes improved public access to an underutilized portion of Alameda that has recently seen an increase in residents. The continuation and beautification of the Bay trail connection to the new Bike pathway on Clement would encourage more foot traffic and bike traffic\, and the direct connection to Alaska Basin is a huge benefit to a population that must otherwise travel via car to access the water. \nYerba Buena SX80: and Michael Gorman\, co-director of the junior sailing program\, and in small yacht club adjacent to the proposed site. He expressed support for the project stating Blue Rise Ventures has been a good neighbor\, and he is looking forward to the improvement on the adjacent site. \nYerba Buena SX80: The public access proposed will be helpful in allowing the public to access the Oakland Alameda estuary\, and all the recreational benefits that will go with it. \nYerba Buena SX80: That concludes the public comments we received. \nYerba Buena SX80: Thanks\, Ashley\, and we appreciate the 2 people who submitted those comments. So thank you for that. \nYerba Buena SX80: Okay\, we will now move to the next agenda item\, which is board discussion and advice\, and we were presented with. \nYerba Buena SX80: I think there were 4 things that Staff asked us to provide some feedback on \nYerba Buena SX80: and of course\, if we \nYerba Buena SX80: want to pick up on something else\, please do. But the 4 questions are focused on \nYerba Buena SX80: how legible\, how clear are the connections from the adjacent roadways. The bike pedestrian networks\, you know\, is that going to draw people to the waterfront\, which is the objective of our our agency? \nYerba Buena SX80: Second question is the interpretive program designed and cited to maximize\, maximize\, public use of the shoreline and enjoyment? \nYerba Buena SX80: Do we have any recommendations? Number 3 public access areas appropriately designed to be resilient and adaptive to sea level rise. \nYerba Buena SX80: ensuring high quality\, public access\, opportunities over time. \nYerba Buena SX80: and the 4th point raised by staff. Does the Board have any recommendations regarding proposed landside amenities that support the water access proposed as part of the project is the launch area in the basin appropriately sited to encourage the public to use this feature. So there are 4 questions there\, and I think what we’ll do. \nYerba Buena SX80: It’s just I’ll I’ll I’ll leave it flexible for each of you to pick up on any of those 4 or any other points that you want to make related to other aspects of the proposal. Look\, I think we might just \nYerba Buena SX80: change this round. And\, Stefan\, let’s start with you\, and we’ll we’ll come down from is that okay? If you kick off \nYerba Buena SX80: I’ll do my best. Thank you. Thanks\, Jacinta. I do. I guess I would start by saying I really appreciate the \nYerba Buena SX80: effort that the team has made to \nYerba Buena SX80: sort of acknowledge and reflect the our discussion last time. And your efforts to \nYerba Buena SX80: address those comments. I think I just really appreciate the the diligence on your part. So I do want to say this. Thank you. \nYerba Buena SX80: I would say\, sort of at a high level. With regards to the 4 questions. \nYerba Buena SX80: I’m generally pleased with sort of how the applicant is has sought to address them. \nYerba Buena SX80: I think we have some clarity that the \nYerba Buena SX80: the wharf level\, from a resiliency standpoint is providing \nYerba Buena SX80: sort of\, I guess\, a basis for a resilient mid-century and and beyond condition. \nYerba Buena SX80: I. My largest question\, I think\, remains around the area that is seems to be the least \nYerba Buena SX80: developed\, and that’s around the sort of interpretive program. \nYerba Buena SX80: Which seems to be still sort of conceptual in nature. \nYerba Buena SX80: I think. \nYerba Buena SX80: My sense is that maximizing usability for visitors \nYerba Buena SX80: and the neighborhood in this location \nYerba Buena SX80: in many ways might trump the recreation of \nYerba Buena SX80: of historic components that actually are are not there or \nYerba Buena SX80: don’t sort of actually reflect a historic condition. \nYerba Buena SX80: And so I think I would just sort of sort of keep that in mind as you move forward. \nYerba Buena SX80: The sort of opportunity to provide \nYerba Buena SX80: high quality\, open spaces\, places for folks to gather and sit \nYerba Buena SX80: and enjoy the the shoreline location. \nYerba Buena SX80: The the \nYerba Buena SX80: any real or realistic elements that could be brought in that actually reflect the the worst history. I think\, would be fantastic. But I would probably shy away from \nYerba Buena SX80: the introduction of sort of elements that actually might be fake or false. That might be promoting \nYerba Buena SX80: An idea of something that actually wasn’t there. \nYerba Buena SX80: But other than that\, I think I feel a very \nYerba Buena SX80: I feel fairly positive about the the different changes that have actually been implemented. \nYerba Buena SX80: So thank you. Yeah\, thanks. Stefan. \nYerba Buena SX80: A bulb. \nYerba Buena SX80: Yeah. So going over the questions\, I don’t really have \nYerba Buena SX80: much of a comment on the first\, st the 1st one. \nYerba Buena SX80: except that I did mention this potential conflict between \nYerba Buena SX80: the bay trail and the boat. Launch. Hand carry stuff which I think \nYerba Buena SX80: sounds like you can work on or address that. The second one. \nYerba Buena SX80: I’m well\, I’m really glad that you have water access\, and it sounds like other people\, are happy about that\, too\, so that I like that\, that’s all. My only comment on the second one \nYerba Buena SX80: on the 3\, rd one on sea level rise. I think this looks pretty good. \nYerba Buena SX80: I think that the shoreline band and the and the bay trail are \nYerba Buena SX80: can accommodate\, I think about. I think you said 0 point 8 feet by 2050 \nYerba Buena SX80: using the 100 year water level\, which I think is a reasonable that sounds like the intermediate curve. \nYerba Buena SX80: not the intermediate high. But I think that’s okay. You could have gone with the annual \nYerba Buena SX80: high water levels. And it looks like you have an adaptation plan that is \nYerba Buena SX80: feasible. At the conceptual level to raise the property or the perimeter \nYerba Buena SX80: marginal wharf area\, because your building pad is higher than the wharf is now. So that looks reasonable. \nYerba Buena SX80: The finished floor elevation. I I wasn’t quite clear exactly. It looks like \nYerba Buena SX80: What was the finish floor elevation again for the building? I know that’s outside the shoreline band. But I’m still. \nYerba Buena SX80: was it 16 point something? \nYerba Buena SX80: I’m gonna have to get 15.6 15.6 feet\, I think. Yeah\, there’s 2 different datums. I think one is Navd 88\, and the other is there’s a alameda datum\, and I think there’s a conversion between those 2 about 5 feet. I might have to get back to you on exactly what that is to make sure it’s that we’re talking apples to apples. I I think the staff report says it clearly\, and I’m just fumbling here. I apologize. If it’s 15.6 feet in Avd. That is\, \nYerba Buena SX80: slightly above the 100 year\, I believe. 100 year flood with the intermediate high sea level rise curve at year 2\,100\, which is really nice to see. \nYerba Buena SX80: So I like that often on the fears we’d \nYerba Buena SX80: don’t see the finished floor higher than the \nYerba Buena SX80: future water level\, because for various reasons. \nYerba Buena SX80: and we often don’t get to comment on it\, although I always do\, anyway. Because it’s outside the shoreline band. But so I do like\, I think we’re okay with sea level rise long story short. So thank you for that. \nYerba Buena SX80: I do have a couple of comments on the sea level rise just for your future programming. \nYerba Buena SX80: one would be to in your adaptation planning \nYerba Buena SX80: ideally. Think about this before you complete the the design and construction include consideration of the storm water drainage \nYerba Buena SX80: from the developed areas to the water. \nYerba Buena SX80: Because raising the perimeter would impede that\, or maybe I don’t think it would reverse it\, but it would repeat\, impede the \nYerba Buena SX80: drainage away from the buildings. \nYerba Buena SX80: and then consider the vulnerability and sensitivity to flooding of the utilities in the vicinity of the loading area. \nYerba Buena SX80: Just because I think those are at the wharf elevation which \nYerba Buena SX80: you know. I don’t know if they should be put on a pedestal or something\, just to keep them above \nYerba Buena SX80: or raise them later as part of your adaptation plan. But so those are my only 2 comments. I think that’s kind of those are details. \nYerba Buena SX80: Number 4. \nYerba Buena SX80: I don’t have any comments. \nYerba Buena SX80: Oh\, wait a minute. \nYerba Buena SX80: Oh\, yeah\, I like the the launch. I think it looks like you. You kind of modeled the conceptual \nYerba Buena SX80: floating dock and gangway after one of the water taxi \nYerba Buena SX80: facilities. There’s a picture\, I think\, rather than a rendering. \nYerba Buena SX80: Yeah\, it’s loosely modeled on the new public dock that’s at Boho Circle Immigrant Park\, which is just to the west of the posey tube on Alameda. Okay\, great. So that sounds like the one comment I had\, or my 1st thought was\, if you have people carrying canoes or kayaks\, or something\, you might want to make the gangway a little wider than what you would have just for pedestrians on a water taxi. \nYerba Buena SX80: just\, you know\, because of the \nYerba Buena SX80: couple of people have to carry something big and bulky. And \nYerba Buena SX80: which means that it’s gonna weigh more\, which means you’re gonna need a bigger float to hold it up. \nYerba Buena SX80: So. But I think that’s all doable. \nYerba Buena SX80: And then I think the waves are pretty calm in this area. It seems pretty sheltered. \nYerba Buena SX80: And I’m I’m guessing the waves do diffract and refract. So they come down parallel to the \nYerba Buena SX80: or their crests are perpendicular to the\, to the marginal wharf to the side\, so that the dock oriented that way is the right way to so\, anyway. But I you can talk to somebody. The the people that boat there\, or \nYerba Buena SX80: a marine engineer to get the orientation and the access and all that straightened out\, I think\, because it could be a really nice facility. \nYerba Buena SX80: Social \nYerba Buena SX80: sorry. It’s I’ve never seen personally a ripple more than about 6 inches high in this basin. Yeah\, that. Well\, that’s good news. Yeah\, yeah. I appreciate that. It did look very sheltered to me. And because it’s all land on the north side\, and then the wharf on the south side probably has a \nYerba Buena SX80: shall. It’s probably shallow under there. They always seem to shoal\, not be dredged underneath the wharf. So well\, that’s great. Those are my only 2 comments on that last \nYerba Buena SX80: number 4. Thank you. Thanks\, Bob. Leo. \nYerba Buena SX80: Thank you\, Jacinta. \nYerba Buena SX80: I think my main question or consideration would be the entry at the south end \nYerba Buena SX80: by Clement in the driveway into the loading dock. \nYerba Buena SX80: I think everything else you’ve given a great deal of thought and sensitivity to in a really nice way. \nYerba Buena SX80: It’s just on the south. It feels like given that little bend \nYerba Buena SX80: with trees that the visibility of the public parking \nYerba Buena SX80: sort of feels concealed and therefore not very public. It feels like it’s really part of \nYerba Buena SX80: the service area. So I just wonder if the opening \nYerba Buena SX80: into that area could just be slid southward\, so that when you’re making that right turn into the parking lot. You see it. You see the parking spaces. \nYerba Buena SX80: the entry walk runs parallel to it. So there! There’s the general movement into \nYerba Buena SX80: into this area\, I think\, would just make it a lot more welcoming. \nYerba Buena SX80: Thanks\, Leo. \nYerba Buena SX80: Tom. \nYerba Buena SX80: thanks. So I was not in the previous review\, but from what I see that. It’s been a very diligent job of responding to everything was brought up. \nYerba Buena SX80: I don’t. I don’t see any \nYerba Buena SX80: major things that rise to my concern. I guess the only thing I would even comment on at this point is the \nYerba Buena SX80: And Stefan kind of alluded to. It already is the the the site. Narrative. \nYerba Buena SX80: What? What is that about? What is it composed of? And there’s really nothing left except some cleats out on the edge of the dock. So what do you do? \nYerba Buena SX80: But what I would really advise against is just is finding some other stuff from somewhere else and stick it there. It’s just it’s too fake. And what I would\, I notice there’s some kind of shade structures\, series of shade structures. I don’t know what we didn’t. You didn’t tell us much about that\, but I assume it’s like a little trellis or something. \nYerba Buena SX80: I would say if you could get a get a narrative that is tightly tied to what the processes were going on there. \nYerba Buena SX80: and then tell that story inside of those structures. Give them more meaning\, you know. Maybe tell another chapter\, and it wouldn’t be difficult or expensive to do\, except that the research would be needed to go into \nYerba Buena SX80: archives and photos. And you know\, like Rosie\, the River Memorial\, they was done with a lot of old letters and photographs and stories of people. So you know\, if you had an archivist\, archivist\, or slash artist of some sort that could bring story\, live and be told in those structures. It would be a lot more \nYerba Buena SX80: meaning for them\, you know something you really want to check out\, and and also I would avoid. Don’t\, please don’t copy the the High Line benches and having them roll would be not good. And I’m sure you come up with something else that was more endemic to this site that would sit on this rail that you’re gonna create. But that’s all I have. Thanks\, good job. \nYerba Buena SX80: great. I really agree with that. I think that that one image of the tall ships is so powerful\, and I didn’t see a date on the in your presentation. But just that image with the date\, I think\, says it all right there. And those structures. Tom took it in a couple of steps beyond where I was going\, but \nYerba Buena SX80: I think that as a 1 of the items here is the entry\, you know the access to the shoreline. Is it legible? Is it inviting? Those structures\, I think\, are really important? You know they they do provide a you know\, kind of a visual destination and a queue\, because the you know\, the pathway in \nYerba Buena SX80: the way you have it rendered is beautiful\, and if all those plantings look that magnificent and delicate\, you know. That’d be one thing. But if you can imagine if the structures were value engineered out or didn’t come out to be special\, and the planting was not perfectly maintained then that entry is not everything that you’ve shown us. So I think you’re doing a lot. \nYerba Buena SX80: you know very well in a very small space there in a difficult space. \nYerba Buena SX80: But it’s important that everything you showed\, I think comes comes out right. So I love the idea of making that giving it a purpose\, you know\, and and making that more important. The other access point. You know\, the shoreline walk or the Sherman walk. You know. It’s a fire lane\, too\, and that’s always a challenge to make it a inviting \nYerba Buena SX80: pedestrian access as well as a as well as a fire lane\, and I think the challenge is always to kind of bring down the scale. How do you do that? And you can’t make it less wide. I know that. \nYerba Buena SX80: But we’ve done some fire lanes now 3 times in Bay Area jurisdictions outside of San Francisco. Where where there’s been like a Hollywood drive type thing we call it\, where there’s like a strip of planting down the middle. It’s maybe 2 feet wide. \nYerba Buena SX80: In some instances we’ve been able to put low plantings in there and get the fire department to agree that they will straddle that if there’s if it’s just grasses\, or some flowering succulent\, or something like that\, that they’ll just span over it\, and they’ll drive down the fire lane and and we’ve gotten it approved 3 times San Mateo\, Emeryville\, and Daily City\, and they’re built. So if you need precedence\, you know we’re always happy to share\, and you know. \nYerba Buena SX80: advance the movement. The other thing\, then\, once\, if you\, if you’re able to divide it down the middle\, one side could be decomposed. Granite\, you know\, engineered for fire trucks. The other side could be concrete or something like that. But I think just changing materials\, maybe \nYerba Buena SX80: can can make it much more inviting\, and possibly give you the opportunity to\, you know\, kind of guide pedestrians down one side and bicycles down the other\, because I think people will maybe gravitate towards the gravel and the bikes will gravitate towards concrete. So that was that was just thought \nYerba Buena SX80: in terms of the yeah\, the interpretive program and the amenities. I was. Gonna say. \nYerba Buena SX80: they’re kind of put out there as separate considerations. But maybe they’re the same. The amenities are the interpretive elements. So they’re occupiable or something. \nYerba Buena SX80: Finally\, the \nYerba Buena SX80: I think\, because the scheme relies on planting so much is why you’re getting a lot of comments on that \nYerba Buena SX80: the soil preparation is so critical. And the right type of soil and the right type of \nYerba Buena SX80: consultants are people who know how to put soil out there that’s not gonna compact and shrink and disappear. \nYerba Buena SX80: and the kind of trees that can survive in that setting. So I think I think the soil prep and the maintenance. You know\, we’ve really turned so much of our attention to that in terms of. \nYerba Buena SX80: you know\, landscape design\, because that’s a big missing piece of the puzzle. I mean\, people are spending plenty of money on plants and installation and maintenance. And they’re not getting the results that they that they should\, because the craft of maintenance is kind of being lost. So that’s another conversation that I’m happy to add more to. But in terms of the natives the maple was the one native that you showed \nYerba Buena SX80: with the right amount of soil and the right amount of maintenance. I think you could get it to live there\, but I think it’s an uphill battle. It’s a stream side tree. It’s a riparian tree. The sycamore is a great analog for that. \nYerba Buena SX80: I would also look at \nYerba Buena SX80: Catalina Ironwood. You know the Lion of Amnos is a really tough\, tough native tree from Catalina Island in Southern California. Takes the wind\, thin soil\, Rocky Serpentine you name it. It will survive all that\, and we used see it quite use quite a bit in the South Bay. \nYerba Buena SX80: and Catalina cherry is another one that’s good. I think Buckeye and Oaks would also\, with the right soil. Preparation. \nYerba Buena SX80: you know\, are are really well adapted to that. I mean in a native setting. They would be growing\, you know\, near the shoreline like that. So anyway\, I think there are some ideas maybe to pursue. \nYerba Buena SX80: And I think that’s all I have. Thank you. \nYerba Buena SX80: Yeah\, look\, thanks\, Gary\, thanks for those points. And \nYerba Buena SX80: I I’m just gonna reinforce a couple of the responses that are being provided. Which are all on point. \nYerba Buena SX80: yeah\, I would just emphasize that authenticity of interpretation is really important. So you know\, I don’t think that relocated\, or\, you know\, bringing in rails to reference a historic rail line that wasn’t actually in that position \nYerba Buena SX80: necessarily means as much as some other type of interpretation along the lines of \nYerba Buena SX80: what was mentioned earlier by by Tom and Gary. \nYerba Buena SX80: if I remember correctly the building\, the refurbished the residential building\, which is a refurbished industrial building. I went inside there once\, and I think there’s some very interesting interpretation in there\, if I remember that correctly. But I’m not 100% sure on that. But \nYerba Buena SX80: anyway\, I seem to remember some\, you know. Photographic of course\, that’s for residential building. But \nYerba Buena SX80: but I think certainly bringing the history\, you know\, whether it’s a photographic record\, you know. \nYerba Buena SX80: placed in a way with some of the history would be really valuable\, because when you started with the story of the site\, the historic narrative I mean\, it’s incredibly interesting. And it was an incredibly significant place. So \nYerba Buena SX80: I’d encourage you to work on that in the program. And \nYerba Buena SX80: so that would be my thoughts just reinforcing. Question 2 comments back. \nYerba Buena SX80: and I think just a comment in relation to question 4. And we’ve just going to reinforce this. But I think in the selection whether it’s plant material\, you know\, certainly. Put all the effort you can into site. Preparation \nYerba Buena SX80: soil works. But \nYerba Buena SX80: the quality\, the selection of final finishes\, the selection of final furnishings\, you know. I would just encourage you to make them as robust as you can\, because \nYerba Buena SX80: I know you’re committing to good maintenance in the future. \nYerba Buena SX80: but these sorts of areas\, if they’re not maintained well\, they can start to deteriorate pretty quickly. So I just encourage you to really work on that. As you continue to refine the design\, I think all of the other comments were on point\, so I won’t reinforce any of the others. \nYerba Buena SX80: So I think that’s I think\, that \nYerba Buena SX80: summarize. Well\, that concludes\, I didn’t summarize\, but I think everyone took notes. So I don’t think I need to summarize tonight. And and I would just again reinforce. How appreciative we are of the work that you’ve done bringing a you know a doc into the project is\, you know\, is a significant move\, and we really appreciate you doing that\, and as well as the other modifications. \nYerba Buena SX80: I think the south entry from Clement. Leo summarized that perfectly. \nYerba Buena SX80: It’s a challenging spot and I think you’ve done some good work there\, and I’ve just encouraged that\, you know signage for the public parking be really clear in the rendering. It looks very clear. In fact\, it almost looks like \nYerba Buena SX80: electrical vehicles charging points. But you know\, if you can make sure that the signage for the Bay trail is very clear\, and that the public parking is is clear\, particularly because this will be a very \nYerba Buena SX80: attractive place for the community to visit\, so want to make it easy for them to park and and get there. \nYerba Buena SX80: So look\, I think with that. I’ll conclude and just ask if you’d like to make any brief response \nYerba Buena SX80: to what you’ve heard. The only thing I was going to talk about is just the interpretive program. And I think you’re it is obviously the least developed part of the design \nYerba Buena SX80: and part of that is just because it is such a tricky thing of we don’t. Wanna. \nYerba Buena SX80: We didn’t wanna bring in fake objects\, but we also didn’t really wanna have the whole interpreter program. Just be kind of\, you know\, a book on a stick that you read. \nYerba Buena SX80: and yet there is really not a whole lot remaining on the site that is real that speaks to the history of it. The the Alta Star Harbor. That housing project is really amazing\, because they were able to keep the entire shell of this on right. So their their interpretive program is basically the structure is still there. And it’s very ornate with all the brickwork\, and it’s large\, and you know it’s kind of \nYerba Buena SX80: it’s just. It’s very cool\, right? And they had that opportunity to do that. And I wish we had that opportunity with an existing structure like that. But we don’t. One of the other ideas we had a photo up there of\, what? Like a viewfinder like a telescope\, the kind that used to put quarters in and look through. And I think this might have been. Yuri’s idea actually was \nYerba Buena SX80: one of our favorite things is that photo of the tall ships. And what if you could put that viewfinder that it looks like a telescope? But you put it in the viewpoint of the photo\, and you look through it. But you see the historical photo. And that way it’s it’s sort of more interesting and more interactive than just a picture on a sign \nYerba Buena SX80: and it makes sure that you are standing in the spot that lets you see\, like one to one the relationship between the present and the past. So that was a really interesting idea. But it is tricky. And we’ll keep working on it. But I I acknowledge that it’s probably the least part of the design. \nYerba Buena SX80: Jump in\, make a comment. I have some friends or acquaintances that are using making virtual \nYerba Buena SX80: reality videos of sea level rise both the inundation and also the adaptation measures where you put on goggles. And you can see a vision\, if you will. \nYerba Buena SX80: And so I I think that people really like that. \nYerba Buena SX80: It’s hard to do anything when you have the goggles on\, but otherwise I think it works pretty well. \nYerba Buena SX80: And then\, spending a lot of time along the waterfront. I really like ballers. \nYerba Buena SX80: and there’s something about them that. They really have a presence. \nYerba Buena SX80: And I recognize those big things that ships tile. You were mentioning that earlier\, and \nYerba Buena SX80: I think they’re really cool. I think it’s an opportunity to put in some sort of interpretive sign\, or I don’t know if they’re on the concrete or on the timber. \nYerba Buena SX80: The timber\, because that’s where you would tie off right on the on the yeah. I \nYerba Buena SX80: it would be a shame to lose those\, or at least\, you know\, keep at least one. I mean\, it’s it’s a pretty interesting \nYerba Buena SX80: somebody could actually make something out of those. I think so\, anyway\, very big door \nYerba Buena SX80: and door handles. But yeah\, no. They for people that that are on both\, I mean\, it’s it’s\, you know. You recognize that right away when you see a big one. You understand that it was for large ships\, and \nYerba Buena SX80: if they’re that old\, I think it’s it’s quite. They have a lot of gravitas. \nYerba Buena SX80: Yeah\, yeah\, that just reminded me of something\, too. I’m sorry to prolong this. But \nYerba Buena SX80: you know\, I think when you get into technology effects you mentioned lighting\, you know as possible \nYerba Buena SX80: a possibility for interpretation or \nYerba Buena SX80: effects. And I just think you’ve got to be really clear that that’s going to last the distance. You know. \nYerba Buena SX80: We had an incredible installation along the embarcadero here years ago\, you know\, whole ribbon of lit cubes\, and \nYerba Buena SX80: and that started to fail within a couple of years. So you know\, you just have to be careful about what you choose. \nYerba Buena SX80: Okay. \nYerba Buena SX80: okay\, so with that\, I don’t think we need to see this project again. I think we can leave it in the excellent hands of staff. Is everyone in agreement on that great? Okay? So I think that concludes comments and recommendations. \nYerba Buena SX80: and so we will adjourn the meeting. Could someone \nYerba Buena SX80: put a motion to adjourn the meeting who’d adjourn? \nYerba Buena SX80: Thank you\, Tom. Thanks\, Gary. I hope the recording picked that up. Okay\, so we’ll close the meeting. Thank you again for all your hard work\, and wish you the very best with the construction of the project.

The project will implement renovations and remediation work to the West and East Harbors of the marina. Remediation activities will take place in the East Harbor. Both in-water and landside public access improvements are proposed including Bay Trail\, pedestrian walkways and viewing areas\, recreation improvements to Marina Green Triangle\, vehicular circulation\, and renovation of the restroom.(Rowan Yelton) [415/352-3613; rowan.yelton@bcdc.ca.gov]Exhibit\nAdjournment\n\n \n \n \n \n \n Video recording and transcript\n Recording\n \n\nTranscript\n\nWould you like to ask questions of staff and then go to the project proponent? Well\, we usually do just check if there’s any clarifying questions on the staff presentation. \nAnything? No\, we’re fine. We can go ahead. Yep. \nGood evening. My name is Monica Scott and I’m a project manager with the San Francisco Recreation and Parks Department. Thank you\, Rowan\, for that presentation. \nI’m here today to present the Marine Improvement and Remediation Project. \nAnd this is the first review. This is a joint project between Rec and Park and PG&E with Wreck and park leading the marina improvement portion and PG&E leading the environmental remediation. \nThis project is a historic opportunity to carry out an environmental cleanup and make improvements to the marina that has been decades in the making. \nThe project area of the East Harbor has contamination from manufactured gas plants or MGPs. \nThat operated over 100 years ago. In 2001\, upon discovery of MGP residues in the East Harbor\, the city commenced legal action against PG&E for the cleanup. \nOver the following 20 years\, the City and PG&E were in litigation with various investigations and studies taking place to assess the extent of the MGP residues. \nThe result of this legal action and subsequent investigations is a settlement agreement between the city and PG&E which was to develop a joint project. \nThe potential project scope was presented to the community in 2023. \nAnd it was modified by the Board of Supervisors in February of last year. \nI’m here today to review the project in its current conceptual form Taking into account the additional financial and design analysis conducted. \nWhat I’ll be discussing later in this presentation the numerous benefits we think this project brings to the bay and the marina. The overarching project goals that are guiding the project. \nAs defined in the settlement agreement\, our environmental remediation\, increased public access and amenities. \nAnd a fiscally sustainable marina. We’re fortunate at this project site to have numerous geographic and community assets\, and our project will enhance these for generations to come. \nWhile providing the city and the environment with a cleanup that is long overdue. \nHere you can see the extent of the marina in the context of the northern waterfront of San Francisco and the bay with Crissy Field to the west. \nAnd Fort Mason to the right. \nAnd here’s a plan view of the marina today. Please note that the docks in the southernmost portion of the east harbour have been recently removed due to their dilapidated condition and the risk of portions of them breaking off and causing hazards in the bay. \nThe piles will remain until the full project remediation begins. \nThe remediation component of this project is developed by PG&E and regulated by the Regional Water Quality Control Board. \nI’ll summarize this briefly\, but I’m joined today by PG&E project manager Ryan Madsen\, who’s available to answer any remediation related questions you may have. \nAs mentioned\, one of the key goals of the settlement agreement and the project is to clean up the contamination in the East Harbour from the manufactured gas plants. \nThe proposed remediation plan will clean the East Harbor and outside East Harbor areas to be protected protective of human health and the environment by dredging and capping sediment with MGP residues and is compatible with our design for an improved East Harbor Marina. \nThe northern portion of the current East Harbor Marina\, including the boat docking area and entrance channel. \nWill be dredged and capped below the improved marina operational depth. \nThe southern portion of the current birthing area features a natural sediment cover over MGP residues which will be monitored under a program to be developed with the water board. \nThe area highlighted for targeted deeper dredging and capping is in the area where there is an occasional sheen on the water at low tides. \nAlso\, as seen on the map\, the red dotted line represents the reactive barrier that will be installed as an extra layer of protection against MGP residue migration. \nAnd lastly\, monitoring will be conducted in the sediments and upland during and after the project and institutional controls will be in place to protect the remedy’s integrity. \nBefore walking you through the proposed plans for the marina and upland areas\, I will briefly review the community engagement and feedback received that has informed the marina design and upland concept. \nAt Wreck and Park\, we pride ourselves on our comprehensive community outreach. In March and August of 2023\, we held two rounds of community meetings at the Moscone Rec Center. \nOver 400 people attended these meetings and we received over 800 responses to the two surveys that were conducted. \nWe received a lot of feedback on what made the marina special and how it could be improved. \nThis feedback was incorporated into the design for the public recreation amenities for the Marina Triangle and Lower East Harbor. \nHere are photos from the March and August community meetings. These meetings included an open house for people to interact with concepts on large boards\, a presentation\, and a question and answer period. \nWe shared precedent images for various activities and amenities to see what was of most interest to attendees. \nThese questions were also included in the surveys\, which could be completed on paper at the meetings or online. \nAnd here’s another board showing how people could select what matters most to them with sticky dots or write in new ideas. \nIn the development of the public access improvements for the marina\, the two main questions we focused on were\, what do you like to do in the marina today? \nAnd what improvements would most excite you. Nature views exercising and meeting up with other people were the most popular activities selected. \nAnd the improvements that generated the most interest were improved natural habitat and more recreational activities. \nAnd here you can see the responses to various questions that helped contribute to the marina and upland design\, focusing on different amenities\, attractions\, and additional suggestions. \nAs many of you may know\, there was strong opposition to the planned relocation of boats from the Lower East Harbor to the West Harbour extension in the project presented in 2023. \nThat’s what’s on the screen in front of you now. This opposition culminated in the Board of Supervisors passage of an ordinance that restricted the extent of the expansion of the West Harbor Marina to the western edge of the wave organ. \nAnd in so doing\, drastically reducing the number of boat slips in a renovated marina. \nFollowing this ordinance\, we conducted additional outreach to key stakeholders as well as design and analysis to develop a project that is financially sustainable while still complying with the ordinance. \nThese analyses included comprehensive morphological modeling to study the effect of a small breakwater on the sedimentation rates in the West Harbor. \nUpdated financial modeling of the projected operating budget for the marina with a reduction in slips. \nAnd a market analysis of marinas along the West Coast. I’m happy to share that the project that we’re presenting today\, which was also shared with the community at a meeting in early December. \nAnd with the Rec and Park Commission in mid-December\, we’ll meet the requirements and goals of this project. \nIn this slide\, you’ll see the proposed framework plan. With a small 225 foot breakwater off of the jetty past the wave organ We installed slips from an earlier West Harbor project to the south of the jetty. \nReoriented docs and an additional breakwater in the east harbor and a shared use community dock and visitors dock dividing the East Harbor with the marina to the north. \nAnd the shallow water basin to the south. Additionally\, we’ve had several conversations with the police and fire departments regarding their critical need For gasoline fuel dock to remain in the marina. \nIn the 2023 project\, the gas dock was located in the extension of the West Harbor. You can see it in the red rectangle there. \nWhile the remediation for this project will not allow for the fuel dock to be reinstalled in its current location in the East Harbor\, we’re studying the incorporation of a fuel dock in the West Harbour directly in front of the old harbormaster’s office. \nOr there’s an existing pump out. This proposed location is not final. \nAnd we’re giving careful study to multiple locations for locating the fuel block in the marina. \nBut need to be mindful of not losing additional boat spaces. \nHere’s a photo of the existing view taken from the Bay Trail to the east of the Harbormaster’s office looking towards the Golden Gate Bridge. \nAnd here’s a photo simulation showing the sheet pile breakwater off of the jetty. \nAnd the reinstalled docks to the west. Which had been removed in recent years due to sedimentation. \nThis is the same image just with call outs. The breakwater will function as an extension of the jetty and is designed to reduce the need to dredge the West Harbour entry channel annually\, which is currently required yearly and costs approximately $1 million with each dredge. \nWith this breakwater\, per the morphological model\, which measured the sedimentation rates over time. \nWill be able to delay the need to dridge to 10 to 15 years after construction. \nAnd reductions to every two to three years following that point. \nThe breakwater is also expected to calm the waters in the West Harbor. \nFollowing the remediation in the East Harbor\, the upper portion will be completely rebuilt with reoriented slips. \nThe existing breakwater will be repaired and have improvements which will allow for pedestrian access and fishing As well as an overlook to Angel Island. \nThe reorientation of the docks was done in response to feedback from the boaters about issues with the current layout. \nGiven winds and other unseasonal conditions. We’ll also be installing a sheet pile breakwater extending 180 feet to the south of the current East Harbor breakwater. \nThat will protect the boats from wave action in the bay that flows under the Fort Mason Pierce. \nAlong the southern portion\, you’ll see an accessible community dock. This will be open to the public\, but a gate will be installed for boater access to the long dock running east-west. \nWhich will allow for guest docking inside tie birthing locations. The boat sizes that can be accommodated in the East Harbour range between 25 to 45 feet in length. \nWith the majority of the boats slips sized for 30 to 35 foot boats. \nRecreation and public access are cornerstones of Rec and Park’s mission\, and we’re excited to be able to make changes to this area that will make it a community space for all to enjoy. \nAnd expand public access to the water. Here you can see the existing conditions in the Lower East Harbor and Marina Triangle with a fitness plaza in blue in the bike head path running along Marina Boulevard. \nThe dashed lines are indicating the BCDC shoreline band. \nBeyond the remediation\, increased access to the bay and recreational opportunities are the most significant transformation this project provides. \nTwo significant transformations are\, number one\, in the East Harbor\, we change over 10\,000 square feet of underutilized parking lanes to park amenities and coastal gardens and what we’re calling the Nature Exploration Terrace. \nSecondly\, we’ll be changing the East Harbor from the existing marina only accessible to marina tenants to a 5.5 acre publicly accessible shallow water basin. \nThat will serve a diverse array of recreational opportunities with the accessible community dock and viewing terrace. \nThe Marina Triangle will also be transformed from an open lawn framed by traffic lanes and to a much more ecologically and programmatically diverse public amenity. \nWe retain the flexibility of an open lawn\, but frame it with bluff plantings. \nWith this providing protection from the surrounding vehicle activities. The bluff plantings also serve to frame the proposed volleyball courts. \nWhich was a specific program highly requested by the public. The three courts proposed or arranged in a playful manner\, which result in a series of seating opportunities for spectators or seating spaces for families when courts are not in use. \nWe’re sure children will enjoy some playtime in the sand when games are not taking place. \nWe’ll also be making improvements to the existing restroom. While we expect the shallow water basin to be popular for kayakers\, stand-up paddle boarders\, and small sailboats. \nWe’ve also engaged with groups that are eager to utilize this space like Outrigger Canoe Clubs and an exciting program for kayak polo. \nWhile you all might be familiar with kayak Polo\, this was new to me. Kayak Polo\, this is a strong program that’s currently operating under the Berkeley Marina and down in San Mateo. It’s basically water polo\, but from a kayak. \nAnd they have an active youth and adult program\, and they’re very excited about the chance to be in this basin. \nAnd here you can see the precedent images for the other activities and features for the Marina Triangle\, including the lawn with the plantings\, volleyball\, nature exploration. \nThe viewing terrace and cafe style seating at the Marina Grove. \nHere you can see the existing circulation and access in the area with a bage trail running along the water’s edge\, access for marina tenants along the docks\, vehicular access through the parking lots. \nAnd the bike ped path and open space. \nAnd I just noticed\, I think we need to update our bay trail\, I believe from looking at Rowan’s slide\, the bay trail seems to not run along the parking lot there. \nHere’s the proposed circulation and access in the area with the major changes being the reduced paved area of the parking lot\, allowing for increased accessible open space and an undulating bay trail and public access to the water of the shallow water basin from the community dock. \nHere are some images of the various types of small watercrafts that will be able to utilize a shallow water basin like kayaks\, sailboats\, and paddle boards. \nAnd here are two sections showing the shoreline along the basin. \nThe project includes rebuilding and enhancing the shoreline. This includes adding a composite material permeable reactive barrier to further isolate the upland soil and groundwater from the bay. \nRiprap will be installed following the remediation\, which will secure the permeable reactive barrier and slope above the native soil and sediments. \nThe section at the top is along the western edge of the basin showing the parking lot. \nThe nature exploration area and the Bay Trail. As you can see\, we’ll be planting in pockets along the upper portion of the slope to increase habitat opportunities. \nAnd we’ll be focusing on plants that can handle saltwater. The section at the bottom is showing the step-down viewing terrace\, which will provide a view of the basin from the southern edge I want to point out that we’ve had conversations with scientists and \nInvolved with Eco RipRap. We were hoping to be able to install Eco RipRrap in this area. \nBut due to the rather slow flow rates. They said that this would not be a good use for that material here. \nAnd here you can see a rendering of the Nature Exploration Terrace\, Bay Trail\, and softened shoreline. \nAnd here’s the lawn area of the Marina Triangle as it appears today\, framed by several mature trees. \nAnd here’s our rendering of the same lawn area with views of the Golden Gate Bridge all framed by low bluff plantings to create some intimacy and buffer from the road and parking lot. \nIn this photo\, we’re looking out on the recently removed docks in the Lower East Harbour with Pier 1 of Fort Mason to your right. \nAnd this is a rendering of the accessible community doc\, which will provide access to the shallow water basin for small crafts. \nAnd for folks to just come down and walk out to be on the water. \nAnd this rendering shows the new view and experiences created at the public breakwater with an overlook to Angel Island and fishing access. \nWrapping up my presentation\, I just want to review our project schedule. As we conclude the community engagement phase\, we’ll be submitting our project application to the planning department to initiate the lengthy environmental review and permitting process. With that\, we’ll be entering the detailed design phase for the project. \nWith construction expected to start in mid-2027. We’re envisioning this project will be carried out in two phases. Phase one will be the remediation in the East Harbor and the work in the West Harbor. \nAnd phase two\, the marina and park improvements in the East Harbor and Marina Triangle. \nThe expected total project construction duration is estimated at three years. \nThank you very much for your time. I’m happy to answer any questions. And I’m also joined by our design team of Moffitt and Nickel and field operations and Ryan Mattson from PG&E. \nOkay\, thank you very much. That was an excellent presentation. And I have to say it’s very significant to have this project coming before the board\, this place that we’re looking at tonight is such a critical part of the waterfront and I feel it’s been very um under \nEnhanced if you like\, for a long time. So it’s very good to see this work underway. \nWe’ll just start with any clarifying questions that the board has on the presentation. \nYeah\, I have a couple of questions. I’m just curious\, what is the ownership structure? Is everything that you presented\, is that all city of San Francisco rec and park owned and operated? So it’s the marina the parking lot and the open space? \nYes\, it’s all within Rec and Parks jurisdiction. I believe a portion of the remediation\, however\, is under Pier 1 of Fort Mason\, which would be a National Park Service jurisdiction. \nAnd then… In the project drivers that you presented at the beginning\, is seismic improvements part of it. I’m just referring to that eastern edge of the seawall\, which is very degraded. Yes\, will be when these when that uh the revetments the area of riprap along that area will be reinstalled with \nSeismic improvements in mind. We’re not thinking of putting in like DSM\, like army corps plans\, as you probably know\, for other areas of the shoreline\, but definitely we need this area for the integrity of the remediation to be seismically stable. \nSo it sounds like it’s more like preparing the finishes on the wall like the the I don’t know\, cladding the cobbles whatever is protecting the wall more than their foundation work So in this area of gas house code the seawall along the marina and I think maybe I’m often a nickel engineers can speak more to this \nBut um there’s a lot of different types of walls here there’s like the rubble wall with the steps down that you see along the northern coast of the marina green\, right? And then you have like riprap\, rubble\, like 1906 \nBig chunks. Maybe\, Ryan\, you can speak to the shoreline treatment\, but my understanding is that we’re getting down to we’re removing enough of the riprap to be able to install the permeable reactive barrier to contain the material that’s below. \nYeah\, that’s correct. \nKristen? Yeah\, thank you. Thank you. \nThank you for the really informative presentation. I was just wondering\, one of the key things you mentioned at the beginning was feasibility. \nAnd I was wondering how that’s addressed. I sort of assumed it would be through rental of boat slips\, but it seems that there’s a net loss of boat slips. \nCan you speak to the decisions there? Yeah\, the feasibility question. Sure. So the settlement agreement was set up in such a way that PG&E is funding the entire project up front and they’re funding the majority of the project. This is $190 million settlement agreement. That’s the maximum amount. \nAnd Wreck and park of that 190 will be repaying approximately $29 million over a 30-year period. \nThat repayment will only be from marina revenues. So that’s why we were at such a critical juncture with the loss of approximately 170 slips. \nOne of the benefits of this rising to the level of the board is that they had their budget and legislative analysts take a look at the financial operations of the marina. And as I mentioned\, the dredging is a huge cost for the marina. \nRight now and right now But it’s at the board’s discretion to approve increased rates for the boat slips So we had always intended that with the East Harbor\, the East Harbor rates have been held artificially low without improvements being able to be made for 20 plus years. \nSo we were always intending to raise the rates of the East Harbor when people would return to those slips. \nWhat the board’s budget and legislative analysts proposed or suggested i guess was to increase the rates right now. \nTo not have rec and parks general fund subsidizing the marina operations today\, the cost of the dredging. \nRight. So that was a policy decision of Rec and Park to no longer have general fund subsidizing the marina when we there’s other priorities. \nSo what we did\, there was a financial analysis done back when that settlement agreement was underway. \nAnd we had a new one prepared with the different slip mix\, slip count\, and slip mix. \nWith the rates as they currently are and with rates that were basically suggested by the board. \nAnd that rate increase actually passed through the board in December of last year. \nSo with the increased rates overall to the West Harbor as well. \nWe’re able to pencil the marina now. \nIt was never… I would say it was never the project’s intention to increase the number of slips here But we did want to maintain them if we could and we wanted to support recreational boating. \nBut clearly\, but clearly there was not public support for that. And we did look at potentially pushing out the East Harbor to the north to have a second breakwater and closing more slips to the north. \nBut that didn’t work either. So we were left with a reduced number of slips and maximizing it as much as we can. \nAnd the breakwater\, as I mentioned\, the breakwater in the West Harbor was very beneficial for that financial modeling too\, if we could eliminate that million dollars a year in dredging. \nThank you. Another question about the sort of feasibility and operations. Is there\, I didn’t see anywhere\, there was a mention of boat storage in some of the Engagement materials\, kayak storage\, small craft storage. Is there a location for an operator or \nIs that sort of planned to be located or is there some access for that planned here? Yeah\, so I’ve been contacted actually recently by a kayak operator\, C-Trek out of Sausalito. \nIn Alameda\, I believe. We’re very much looking forward to partnering with operators here\, but until we get further along\, we don’t want to say\, oh\, your view will be blocked. \nBy this box. So what we’re looking for and what seems to work well is we’ll likely position something by the restroom\, which is in that northeast corner of the marina triangle\, which would just be a short short walk across to the accessible dock. \nBut we’ll be developing that further\, I expect\, by the time we return to you\, we’ll have more. \nOkay. And then just one other question on the um The reason that the additional slips were Next was because of view access is that Correct. That was the dominant. \nSentiment okay Is any of this area state lands by any chance? \nYes\, it is. All of it. I believe. I think there’s a dividing line somewhere in the West Harbor and East Harbor. Okay. But yeah. \nAnd do they have any restrictions on or requirements for parking or is there anything Well\, we are maintaining the same number of parking stalls So I hope we’re okay. I’ll look into that. I don’t believe that there’s any restrictions on parking as we’re not \nWe’ll actually be planning to turn back to a number of those parking stalls in that area are currently permit boat tenant parking stalls\, but with a reduction of slips I would assume we’ll be able to turn more over back to the public. \nOkay. And are there any other requirements that relate to state lands that are pertinent to like uses that you’re allowed to do here? \nWell\, we had considered putting in a playground and I believe that that is not compatible\, right? So\, okay. \nA nature exploration area is kind of a compromise that we’ve seen work really well at Heron’s Head Park and other areas not on the coast. And they consider small craft recreation\, sort of a regional recreation okay yeah Okay\, that’s all of my questions. Thank you. \nThank you. Leo? Yeah\, thank you for the presentation. I guess many of my questions have been answered. The only one I might have is perhaps more for Moffitt Nickel. \nIt appears from the diagrams that the bottom level of the East Harbor will be different where the boat slips are\, it’d be deeper and where the recreation area would be shallower Is there any expectations of changes in sedimentation patterns or potential buildup of sedimentation in the shallower areas \nI think I will pass that to Rich. It’s a good question. \nWe’ve done some numerical modeling using a mic 21\, a Danish Hydraulic Institute model to predict sedimentation in the future based on calibrating model. \nData we have and we don’t anticipate a huge change even a significant change. \nSedimentation patterns in East Harbor. Yes\, we don’t expect a change in sedimentation patterns in East Harbor based on the model studies that we’ve done. \nOkay\, thank you. Again\, just a couple of clarifying questions. Oh\, I’m sorry. Let’s just go to our online members. \nTom. \nThanks. That was a really great presentation. And maybe you’ve answered this question already\, but what I’m understanding is that all of the all of the edges. \nThat are facing the water are being protected from seismic liquefaction. \nI just want to confirm that’s And then are there areas behind the barrier within the scope of the project that are also subject to liquefaction. \nRich\, do you want to add? Respond. Another good question. The answer is still being addressed. \nWe have a geotechnical engineer. Local who’s done some sediment sampling and studies specifically for engineering properties But it’s been done in the water where the original project really involved most of the improvements In this round of this round project the improvements have \nIncluded the triangle. So we’re going to get additional data points in that triangle park area in which we can develop appropriate solution and be able to answer your question. \nThat’s going to be done shortly. \nGood. \nNo\, that’s it. \nAnything else\, Tom? Okay\, good. We’ll move to Bob. Bob\, I’m just going to make one comment before opening it up to you. \nAnd for everyone in the room as well\, this project is going to also be reviewed by the engineering design criteria board. \nThe staff have given us pretty clear direction that our priority is reviewing the landside access and some of the more technical aspects\, the technical engineering\, technical remediation aspects will be dealt with in detail at that meeting. So Bob\, I just wanted to give you a heads up on that in case \nWhether you were aware or not about that\, that you’ll be reviewing this again in that technical review environment. \nThank you\, Chair. We can. I actually wasn’t aware of that but we have we had looked at this before on the ECRB. \nFocus just on the remediation and ground stability but i uh thank you for that context. That’s very helpful. \nCan i should i proceed with? Any questions? Oh. \nYes\, go ahead. Yes\, please. Thanks\, Bob. \nThank you. Thank you. I just\, this is kind of a dumb question\, but I just want to clarify the extent of the marina expansion. \nIn front of the marina green. The exhibits we received Specifically on page 18 show a I think it’s called the 2023 framework plan Which I believe is no longer in consideration. Is that it? \nDo I have that correct? \nYes\, that’s correct. We were just showing that for context. For feedback that you may have heard. \nSo we’re not reviewing we’re not reviewing that extent\, which is much greater. \nThat’s correct. Yes. The plan on sheet 19 is the plan that’s being presented today. \nOkay. \nOkay. Thank you. I know it was kind of a stupid question\, but I just felt like I needed to be clear on that. \nYeah. \nCan you clarify nature investigation element of Improvements. \nI couldn’t quite follow that. Again\, I apologize if I missed something. \nSeems like I missed a couple of things. In preparation for this meeting but What is the nature investigation element in the project? \nOh\, I think you might be referring to our nature exploration area. \nOh\, nature exploration. I’m sorry. I don’t know where I got investigation. I think it’s in one of the slides again. \nBut what\, yeah\, that’s what I’m talking about. Yeah. \nThat’s okay. Yeah\, well\, there were investigations. There were investigations for sure. But let me flip to So on slide 27\, the proposed site plan There’s a precedent image showing another nature exploration area. It’s basically a playground without calling it a playground. \nMade. Comprised of mostly\, you know\, you can have big logs boulders It’s a spot for all to to kind of explore\, oh yeah\, sorry\, thanks. On slide 32\, there’s a rendering of the nature exploration terrace. \nSo… Yeah\, hopefully that will help clarify. And this is still in development \nOkay. Yeah\, I just\, it’s kind of hard for me to understand what it really is because I appreciate all the plants on the shore\, but right now it’s riprap and I’m not quite sure how you what the actions are to achieve this very \nColorful shoreline\, but that’s okay I have some other We can talk about that later. Maybe you can address that before your next submittal. \nOh\, okay. Sure. \nOh\, yeah. Actually\, a landscape architect wants to weigh in. Hi\, sorry. So basically\, the project is reducing the traffic lanes in the parking lot\, right? Like right now it’s a two-way traffic lane So by making it one way\, we gain about 20 feet for the shoreline itself. And now in that thickened shoreline\, right in between the riprap and the existing parking\, now we have a wider stretch of park \nWhere we are now meandering the Bay Trail. So as you’re along the Bay Trail\, you get different views and perspectives. \nBut also creating these wider nooks One of which is a nature exploration terrace. And as Monica said\, it’s basically an area for children and family to climb up on logs and boulders and play around adjacent to to the waterfront. \nOh\, I got you. But it’s not the the greenery and flowers that we see on the shore. It’s on the other side of the trail. It’s not part of the shoreline. \nNo\, no\, no. No. \nIt’s part of the upland fill area. \nIt’s still within the shoreline. It’s still within the shoreline band. But if you look at the plan\, the Baytrail meander. So in the belly of when the Bay Trail is most proximate to the shallow water basin\, that’s where we can accommodate this nature exploration terrace. \nOkay. So\, but it’s landward of the trail and it’s a flat area with some logs and rocks and stuff. \nOkay\, great. Thank you for clarifying that. I really appreciate it. \nExactly. Exactly. That’s exactly right. Absolutely. \nSo\, um. So I guess it’s the depth that displaces the births from the east Basin\, Gas House Cove\, to… the west basin is that is that the reason why the remediation triggered this shifting of the births from one basin to the other? \nThat’s in the original October 2023 framework plan\, correct? In this new project\, we are not relocating slips. We are just deleting slips. \nOh\, I got you. Okay. \nSo yeah\, and you’re right. The reason why we are not able to reinstall them in place in the Lower East Harbor is because basically the project cannot\, the project budget cannot cover that extent of remediation to return the entire \nEast Harbor back to a marine and navigable depth. \nOkay. Thank you. Yes\, I just… So that’s the nexus is you’re losing some ships in Gas House Cove or some berths. \nAnd you’re mitigating that somewhat by adding births in at West Harbor at the entrance. \nI think I got that right. And that’s the only reason why we’re really looking at the West Harbor. \nRight. \nOr… In the breakwater. \nAnd for the breakwater\, I believe\, I believe it’s under the purview of the design review board\, yeah. \nOkay. \nYeah\, and to note\, those slips in the West Harbor were originally in those replacement slips those had been installed in the 2012 West Harbor renovation project. \nBut due to the significant sedimentation rates\, they had to be removed. \nSo with the right\, you might be aware Yeah. \nYeah. Yeah\, I remember that\, actually. But there wasn’t a breakwater there on the east side\, was there or was there? \nThat’s correct. There was a floating wave attenuator which \nOh\, okay. But now you’re going to have a solid breakwater to to protect from the northeast winds. \nCorrect. Exactly. \nThat can put some ways. Okay\, I got it. So\, um. \nI think there are some historical assets within the the marinas\, especially in the West Harbor\, if I remember correctly. \nAnd I don’t know that that affects anything\, I think\, but And I’m not an expert on that. Obviously\, I’m an engineer but i think it’s it would be interesting if nothing else to have some maybe discussion of that\, a review of that next time you come around. There’s some pretty cool \nPieces in there in the West Basin. That’s more of a comment. \nUnless you wanted to to indicate that there is information on historical information assets in this submittal or in this review. \nRight. Okay. Gotcha. Yeah. \nSo at this time. We’re not prepared to really cover that except for the historic gas plants. We know about those\, but the planning department will be carrying out their environmental review. And so that will be going in depth into the historic significance of the site. \nOkay. Great. Yeah\, I think the members would find that interesting\, although I don’t know that it has any bearing\, but thank you for entertaining that. \nQuestion. So… Where does the sand go now? I know that sand\, I have some familiarity with the area. \nWaves drive sand\, primarily waves\, drive sand from the ocean through the Golden Gate\, along Christie Field\, and it deposits On the west side\, a little of the old breakwater and then also in a tip shoal at the mouth And that’s why\, as you say\, the births were removed before \nNow you have a breakwater extension And eastern breakwater. \nThat implies that the sand will just kind of move around those structures\, but may still deposit in the entrance or do you expect to I’m just kind of wondering what happens to the sand and You know\, just so I can maybe think about the implications. \nSure. Well\, I’ll definitely pass this off to Rich Dornhelm\, but I’ll just say that the summary\, the high level summary for the is that we expect the dredging to only need to be taking place not annually but for 10 to 15 years post installation of the breakwater. Following that\, we do expect \nThe sedimentation to have to be dealt with on probably twice every two years\, every two to three years It’s not going away. The sand will continue. But I’m going to pass it off to Rich\, who knows more about what will happen. \nRight. That’s a pretty good answer\, but I would like to hear from Rich if everybody has time. \nFor people that don’t know\, was my My supervisor for many years when I was with Moffitt and Nickel So it’s Still working hard there\, aren’t you\, Rich? \nBut you’re working harder. I only have one project with many. \nWell\, it’s nice to be back in touch\, mom. And it’s a tough question. \nYes\, thank you. Nice to see you. \nBecause it started out with a study of replacing the wave attenuator\, which had to be removed. \nWith a fixed breakwater to quiet the outer west harbor basin and we discovered through mathematical again computer modeling using our Mike 21 models that the sediment patterns circulation patterns\, along with the waves in the current. \nWere disrupted by this relatively short piece of breakwater that changed the way currents and waves pass around the tip. It’s like an airplane wing in certain respects. It flies. \nWhen they come in for landing\, they just trim things a little differently and that changes dramatically. \nHow the plane generates lift and slows down and lands. \nWe foresee that there will be a change in the deposition patterns as a result of this small breakwater extension. \nThat will not eliminate the need Bob has done some very nice studies that led us to this conclusion. \nAbout sand movements in the San Francisco literal cell that we can expect redistribution of the sand rather than trapping in the harbor. \nEventually\, there will be a need to dredge but has Monica pointed out where foresee about a 10\, maybe 15 year interlude While this redistribution occurs before it once again finds a way to migrate towards the entrance of the marina. \nOkay\, thank you\, Rich. I really appreciate it. I also appreciate the tolerance\, other patients\, other patients board members have for that question. It’s kind of a big deal in the circles that I move in\, although in this case\, I don’t see major concerns. \nI’m speaking to sand transport. But… Thank you. Thank you very much for that. Okay\, my last and final clarifying question. \nOkay. \nBut before I get off that is… \nBob\, just remember\, we also have our board discussion for other questions. So just if it’s a clarifying question\, yes\, fire away. Yeah. \nYeah\, yeah. I have one i have \nYeah\, so I have two quick ones. One\, can we see the… the studies about the sand transport Can the design review board see those or maybe public\, I don’t know. \nAnd then secondly. Are there any sea level rise criteria for this project or any elements that relate to sea level rise or is that something that will be has been put off to the ECRV. \nSo to answer your first question\, yes\, we can provide via Ashley\, I believe\, the studies on the morphological modeling. \nThank you very much. \nAnd yeah\, of course. And for sea level rise um what’s been designed so far\, and this is just as a concept level. \nWas taking into account BCDC sea level rise guidance and criteria. \nAs well as the city’s sea level rise\, their capital planning. So it went through\, there’s like a checklist that the city has. \nTo meet the standards. And so this is designed to 2067. \nOkay. \nAnd in the sections\, you can actually see those two sections. \nLet’s see\, slide 31. Those are showing in small print. \nProjected sea level rise. They’re showing the mean high\, high water and then 2050 as well as 2\,100 all the way up. \nSo even though this project isn’t technically designed to 2100\, We’re still looking ahead to that and what will happen with this area. \nOkay\, thank you. I’ve taken enough of everyone’s time. Thank you. \nChair McCann\, I’m done. \nYeah\, thanks\, Bob. Good questions. I just want to clarify one more thing before we move on. And it’s in the context of the outreach program\, which looks to be very effective and a lot of input. It’s always impressive to see 400 more than 400 people participating \nBut a question I have is how much outreach has happened with a key stakeholder\, which is Fort Mason\, immediately adjacent? \nTo these bases. So we’ve presented this project to National Park Service to their review board as well. And we just had a refresh meeting not that\, I think it was in December with the updated project as well. So they are \nWell aware we’ll be coordinating with them for NEPA\, for the remediation portion that will be taking place on their property. \nAnd they\, yeah\, they have been well informed of what we’re working on We’re also aware that the sand comes from a lot of places and there’s some concern that Rec and Park has about Chrissy field So we’re kind of \nWe’re all neighbors here. Yeah\, good. Great. And then just another quick follow up on the outreach um you know tourists are a very big component of the usage of this area. Were you able to capture any input from tourists or observational input? \nSo that’s a great question. I think through our actually through the Marina Harbor Association and the Marina Tenants\, a lot of the people a large number of people that have boats in the marina are not San Francisco residents. They’re coming here seasonally. \nBut in terms of tourists\, I would say It’s a hard one to capture aside from the conversations we’ve had with the bike rental people. We know that people are excited. We know people also have been excited about a water taxi potentially. \nThat’s not in our current plan. But we know that this is a popular destination all along this northern waterfront is a very popular destination for tourists. \nAnd we think it will continue to be. And just one more detail follow up. \nWith the removal of the fueling dock. I don’t know whether they’re related or not\, but on the land site up against the wall to Fort Mason\, there’s a large storage container and some other things that are pretty unattractive. Do they get to be \nReviewed as part of the project? So yes\, one of those containers is actually for the bike rental operator So yeah\, we are intending to improve that area as well. And with that\, we’ll be looking to relocate as much of that storage as possible. \nI think we can really make a big difference in improving the feel and also improve the connection between Fort Mason to the marina through that right okay thank you. I think that Oh\, I think this one will follow up. Sorry\, one more thing I’m dying to ask. So I was just wondering if you could share some of your design process. I was just noting that so much of the parking is inside the shoreline band. Was there ever \nYou know a thought about flipping the planting and the parking? There was\, yeah. Yep. Well\, that was also shared in 2023 \nAnd I have to say there was so much opposition to what we were really considering to be the goals of the project that we had to kind of let that pass. \nWhen you start talking about all the parking people get very\, very excited about it. So at this point. \nWe’re doing what we can to buffer the experience I think we also were considering that people are also having a very pleasurable experience going along the bike ped path now without parking up against it. \nSo kind of have some trade-offs. \nIf you can visualize that. \nDo you guys have the slide deck? Anyway\, yeah\, there’s a… It’d be better to get on the screen if it’s possible. \nOn the north side\, that’s where you still have most of the parking goes right up to the water’s edge\, whereas on the east side you have the planting buffer. \nSo I’m… The project isn’t proposing to kind of modify the parking towards the north of the triangle\, swapping the eastern edge of parking with the triangle itself was the first concept. But as Monica said that didn’t move forward during the community engagement process. \nAnd then the bike path that Monica is referring to is the one that’s kind of parallel to Marina Boulevard that right now runs next to the marina triangle green. \nSo the users of that path kind of enjoy not having moving vehicles and parked vehicles be what they see on both sides. So it’s kind of a trade-off in that regard. \nDoes this image help? Yeah\, yeah\, very much. Yeah\, I mean\, you know\, there’s this moment where you think\, oh\, wouldn’t it be great to have a park right at the water’s edge and then you have all this incredible views and a buffer on Marina Boulevard. \nAnd the parking in between the buffer. And anyway\, so I’m sure\, I mean\, it’s obvious that it had to have been discussed in detail. So I was just curious how that went. \nThank you. Okay\, very good. Well\, look\, that concludes the clarifying questions from the uh Proponent presentation and So now we will move to public comment and we have a combination of in-person people who will ask questions and then we have online questions and we also had submitted comments as well so we’ll take some time and go through all of those. \nShall we start with in the room? Yes\, please. The first person is Chrissy Kaplan. If you could come up to the mic and state your name and affiliation\, you’ll have three minutes. And next up will be Dan Clark. \nThank you. Good evening. My name is Chrissy Kaplan. I have operated the fuel dock at Gas House Cove for the last 51 years. It has been there for 55 years. \nI’m a huge proponent of public access. But public safety has to be kept in mind. \nThe fuel dock operates seven days a week with United States Coast Guard\, police. \nFire\, Caltrans\, Army Corps of Engineer\, the bulk of our day-to-day customers are either commercial fishermen or emergency services. \nWhere the fuel dock is currently located is in a nice little corner of San Francisco Bay. There’s no concerns about the neighborhood. There’s no concerns about other boats being impacted. It is by nature a rather dangerous occupation. \nWe have had two explosions. In the last 55 years\, but of no consequence either physically to anybody Or to anybody’s personal property. \nThe other thing I want to point out to this board is where the fuel tanks are currently located. \nThey have been there underground in a concrete vault for 60. \nNine years old since 1969. They have been updated\, the actual physical tanks themselves\, but the location has been through Loma Prieta. \nHas been through all of the\, well\, we had quite a tsunami in 2011. This most recent tsunami warning was quite interesting. \nAs soon as the warning subsided\, my phone was ringing off the hook. \nBy the Coast Guard\, by the police\, by the fire\, will you be there? We’re having to deploy our fleets and we need fuel to do that. \nI think having the one and only fuel dock in the city of San Francisco cannot be a second thought. We’re just going to unplug it here and plug it in somewhere else. It has to be a vital service to not just the boat owners\, but to our entire city. \nWhen Loma Prieta happened\, it was the fire boat that put out the marina grain\, not the fire department. It was seawater that was brought in. \nOn a very small note\, the floating docks that are being considered to be putting in the water\, when they’re not being used by the public\, they will be used by the sea life. \nSea lions and seals will occupy those docks\, will destroy those docks\, will take advantage of those docks. \nAnd they are not shy about taking over that kind of \nAccess because uh uh when a young pup gets kicked out of Pier 39\, he needs a new place to go set up camp. And it’s usually that gas house code. \nThe other thing I wanted to point out was the fiscally sustainable part of the project The fuel dock is not broken. Your three minutes are up. Thank you. Okay\, I’m sorry. \nThank you very much for your consideration. And I’d love to be part of the conversation. \nThank you. Going forward. Yep. Thank you very much. Okay\, up next\, I have Dan Clark. And following that will be Patricia Vonley. \nThank you\, Dan Clark. No affiliation. This project has been controversial from the get-go\, and I’m going to explain some of the reasons that it’s fundamentally flawed. And with all due respect\, Chair\, you’re remarks about the outreach to the community are possibly being\, you may be being led a little bit too much by the propaganda slides that are coming from the proponent about how much outreach \nWhat you see in this room is only a small fraction of the people who are having a problem with this with this project. So just be aware. \nThe problems here stem from the toxic chemicals that are beneath Gas House Cove that are driving everything. And what’s not being exposed to you or not being focused to you now is that this project is requiring an approval of land use changes to Gas House Cove \nThat have never been never been really discussed by any independent agency And these land use changes are they’re significant and they undermine the beneficial use of this public resource. So that is the subject that I want to bring up. \nI know you’ve heard here that there’s greater public access from some components\, for instance\, shallow water basin. \nAsk yourself\, would there be a paddlecraft recreation area in a shallow water basin had if there were no toxic chemicals that had to be kept in that place. \nAnd the answer is no. The income\, the financial questions. That’s really trying to make something good out of something that’s really bad. And so this is a fundamental thing. \nI realize I don’t have much time to go into all of this. I will point out that if you look at the San Francisco Bay Plan and the policy statements in there\, just Google hazardous substance in there\, you’ll find the guideline that at least talks about \nKeeping hazardous substances and what needs to be done about it. You’ll see that it talks about no harm to people And the harm to people from a hazardous substance will be handled by the water board But you\, BCDC\, should be looking at whether this \nKeeping this hazardous substance there in the form that it is now proposed at this time. \nIs the right answer. And is the right trade-off to do with these trade-off What I’m saying is the detrimental use of the uh of the beneficial use of gas house code. I know I’ve only got seconds\, but allow me to just say there are alternatives \nTo this plan. They are not being proposed because they cost more. \nIf you look into this in any detail\, you’ll see that\, yes\, there are viable alternatives\, reasonable alternatives that cost cost more\, but not significantly more. So that’s this whole subject about beneficial uses changes change of land use Thank you for your public comment. We’re out of time. And I just hope that it is done so. Thank you very much for your time. Thank you. \nPatricia\, you’re up next. You’re next. Could you put a… Up here\, the picture of the picture existing plan and the new plan. \nI have something to show you. We may have to move between them and we only have three minutes for this comment. \nOkay\, that’s what the problem is with this hearing. And I will give you some writing on this. \nMarina\, I’m Patricia from Marina Calhalla Neighbors Merchants. And I have worked with the planning department the park and rec for years. \nAnd I’m very disappointed about the outreach on this The fact that we asked after 223 plan to work on this with the department before it got to you so that we could come up with some compromises. \nOne of my big issues is the big issues is What Christy talked about. \nIn the old plan\, we have a very long pumping station. \nIn the new plan\, we have one about a third the size with boats around it. I was at the Loma Prieta earthquake. \nThe boats were backed up. After that earthquake. \nIt was extremely important to have extremely important something that long. \nTo solve the problem for public safety. That is one of my main issues concerning this. \nAlso\, I have some serious concerns. I’m sorry you work for that company\, but we’ve gone through plans since 1960. \nAnd we’ve had every time a plan comes up\, it’s failed about the themselves. \nThe sales push really caused by when the Presidio changed to a coastal area and sand dunes back to sand dunes and that caused a lot of problems with the cell changes And we have to look at that sandpit. \nWe have a way to go\, but I am looking for compromises. \nAnd we need to have compromises. And right now\, all I’m saying is rush this through from this department. \nWe’ve got to have it bam\, bam\, bam. Where we can sit down and we can work out some issues. But we are not getting it. \nAnd this is what’s disturbing me the most. And I have a degree in environmental design. \nAnd I have some concerns about the toxics. With kayaks polo with the kayaks turning over. \nAnd is this going to cause a problem in volleyball on a previous toxic area. \nI’m not sure if the studies are good enough We have not had the privilege of having Being given the studies. \nHidden. What are they hiding? And I want us to have this as a good project. \nAnd one that we can all be proud of. And I have the statistics on the jurists\, we have thousands of tourists who go down there every day. \nHundreds\, thousands. And as the city builds back up again the marina green and these yacht harbors are between one of the largest national historical deals\, Fort Mason. \nAnd we’ve got Palace of fine arts and the Presidio on the other side. Thank you for your public comment. You’re out of time. Thank you. Thank you. \nThank you very much. We appreciate that. Steven Striels\, you are up next\, followed by Bill Clark. \nCan I get slide 23 put up on the screen? \nOh\, let me stop sharing. \nYeah\, that’s good. \nThis one\, yes. Thank you. \nBoard members. My name is Stephen Street. Sorry for the bad handwriting. I actually am a member. I live in the community at the in uh the marina. In fact\, I live adjacent to the triangle. \nThis area and this project\, this is probably one of the\, it’s an iconic world-class public environment with a public art installation. \nThis area as we all know. So this is vitally important both to the community and to everyone else. \nBoth in the city and in the nation and potentially the world. \nUnfortunately\, from the perspective of the community members\, I think that Parks and Rec has taken on a cavalier attitude towards the design of the project and has had ample disregard for the community input. \nAnd then we’re still trying to fix that. That’s why I think you’re hearing from us. \nAnd I brought this picture up it has a problem. It represents it from a camera angle not from a an eyeball angle. And what you don’t see from this is that that breakwater is not integrated into the rest of the breakwater environment. It’s a concrete pier square \nDoesn’t fit in there. It’s not visually the right thing for that space. \nSomething that’s iconic. Further\, the wave organ\, this public art installation\, is there. \nAnd I’ve been assured that the wave organ will still function. \nBut I have assurances of people that are probably not a marine public art experts. \nAnd I would have asked that\, I think this is an iconic feature of the area\, and I would ask that the board asked for some more questions about this. \nTo ensure that it’s still functional. And as we get to the end. \nI urge the board to request some design revisions to to the breakwater to ensure that it’s visually integrated. \nAnd then two\, because of the repeated failure of all attempts to prevent this silting. \nI would ask that the board recommend that additional conditions be put on their approval that the breakwater would be removed if it fails to meet the goal of preventing silting. \nBecause if we spend $5 million\, we put this in there\, we obstruct it\, we destroy the wave organ\, and then it doesn’t function and we’re still dredging every year. We haven’t accomplished the goal and we’ve only destroyed our environment. So I think there’s a reasonable condition. And I would also\, if the \nWave organ does no longer functions because of the breakwater we’re in worse shape. \nI would also ask that the breakwater then be removed. \nThank you for your time. I think that we’re very excited to participate and you’re hearing from just a small group of more than 500 people that objected to the original plans. Thank you very much. \nNext up\, we have Bill Clark\, followed by Maggie Hallahan. I may go over. I prefer not to speed read\, so I’m hoping I can get a little extra time perhaps. \nOkay\, here we go. My name is Bill Clark. And here we go. The issue with RPD’s design of East Harbor is that the southern half still contains a proposed recreation area where marina berths used to be. \nThere was some hope that a compromised solution for more births could be reached with the return of smaller powerboats requiring a shallow harbor depth and therefore less remediation. \nBut after over a year of deliberations\, no such alternative appears to be in the mix. \nEquity inclusion of the lower income small boat owning public who had mostly been left out of the previous design remain left out. \nNothing has changed regarding a toxic waste storage facility in our harbor posing as a paddle graft paddlecraft recreation Area. The same concerns for relocating the fuel dock storage tanks exist for the buried toxics without the benefit of being encased in cement. \nThe public will be encouraged to recreate in three to four feet of murky marina water with three to five feet of sediment cap covering the toxics. \nWould you trust three to five feet of shifting settlement between you and MPG contaminations? \nWhen you could launch your kayak from Aquatic park where no such threat exists. \nOr paddle in the dirty backwaters of East Harbor when the cleaner bay waters can be found nearby? \nKayaks are rarely seen in east and west harbors\, even with a fancy wheelchair accessible paddlecraft launch in West In the West Harbor that is never used Why would they suddenly appear now? \nIf we can all agree with the premise that the southern half of East Harbor is best suited for boats due to existing conditions\, why was this not the starting point for the redesign? \nWhat kind of public use will there be when three defeat water depth becomes one to two feet from silting? \nOr a mud flat like the West End of West Harbor. \nThe foreseeable obsolescence of the proposed paddlecraft area must be considered now while PG&E is still responsible for the contamination. \nAn ungrudgeable south southern east harbors offering PG a pass on their obligation\, leaving SF citizens with a future eyesore to bookend the other mud flat in West Harbor and a taxpayer liability to convert the area into something usable again. \nWe deserve a better plan from RPD with PG&E funds spent on contamination cleanup starting point\, not jumping the gun harbor retrofits. \nIf SF Marina is counting on the revenue from new births in the northern half of East Harbor\, how about starting with the dredging of multiple vacancant West Harbor berths that are too shallow to rent? \nConstrained by an outdated settlement. Rpds harbor improvement and remediation project simply doesn’t meet the severity of the environmental or best youth of the southern half of East Harbor. \nThank you very much. Appreciate that. \nOkay\, Maggie Hallen\, you’re up. You’re best. \nJust an overhead\, just the overhead one the original one before all the splits were taken out. \nThe existing or the plan that’s not happening? The existing. Or before you took out\, yeah\, the one before you took out the slips. \nYeah\, that’s fine. Or maybe this one. Yeah. \nHi\, everyone. Thank you very much for hearing from me. My name is Maggie Hallahan. \nAnd I’m a licensed captain. I also… I’m a sea scout. Okay. \nI’m working on that. Sorry\, I just… got over a cold. I’m a Licensed Coast Guard captain and i have been teaching youth boating canoeing For more than half my life\, I’m a sea scout leader and we used to have a Sea Scout base there in this marina. \n100 years ago when it first started. And we have a sea scout based in aquatic park When I’ve looked back on some of the research that the Park and Rec has done\, they haven’t really researched how youth are going to have access \nConsistent access to really learn how to navigate and to get on the water. And this space is ideal for that. \nI think that that it hasn’t been a great outreach to people. I grew up here. \nMy uncles used to call the area Gas House Cove and Small Boat Harbor\, but when they put out all the information\, they just call it East Harbor. And if you’re a navigator\, you never call that area east because it’s actually west \nSo I didn’t know for a long time that’s what they were talking about\, but they’d never used the word gas has coke\, which I think that the information should all be titled And if you look on the state sites of the waterways\, all the state sites call it gas house code so i think it should be called that. \nAnd I also think that we have our sea scout youth come across with our oil and things like that into the You know\, you said there was a lot of things over where the launch where the old boat launches\, that’s where we deposit our oil and other boats deposit \nOil and gas there. So we need to rebuild that And then also when I was young\, we used to launch boats there um Gatekeeper\, we launched our first boat right there. And I’d like to keep the boat launch there\, the crane and fix it. It’s been broken for 15 years. \nAnd we’d like to have a place to launch our boats per youth. And there could be storage there for seed track and other types of small sailing boats\, people that could lead trips for youth out of that area. \nSo anyway\, please think about the sea scouts and other youth. We have hundreds and hundreds of youth that want to get on the water and they need support in buildings and places to meet. \nTo be able to do that. So thank you so much. \nThank you. I appreciate the comments. \nOkay\, Chair\, we have four comments online Howard Strasner\, I’m going to unmute you and you have three minutes. \nHi. So I’ve heard some interesting comments. \nThere you are. \nI’ve had a birth in the guest house cove for over 50 years. \nAnd one of the things we have is very reasonable rent because it was subsidized by a very low interest rate loan. \nAnd I’m concerned that you keep space for small boaters. One nice solution seems to be to use some of this shallow water for motorboats that don’t draw very much. That may be a useful change I would also hold BCDC responsible \nTo doing a really deep study\, how much mud is enough to protect us from the the terrible stuff that’s underneath there. And I also note that you I look at the things and you have reduced parking and that’s okay. \nWhen you run out of money since you’ve already raised the cost of keeping a boat. \nIn the marina\, maybe you want to start getting some of that money from the parking that’s left. \nI would suggest that very much. I also want to say hi to Christy. I’ve known her for over 50 years. \nAnd you do need\, we’ve never bought gasoline from her. We just pick up\, fill a little tank of it for a small sailboat. \nBut certainly big boats need it and it has to be done very well. It’s a very important thing. I don’t know. \nI don’t hope enough is done about that. Oh\, I would support removing the parking from against the seawall. This is a major place to walk. \nAnd here are you devoting for people who want to drive there and sit in their cars and look at the weather. \nThat’s not a reasonable use of San Francisco Bay. This is a use for San Francisco Bay for sailors. \nFor walkers\, for hikers and everything You’re doing a lot of it well. I like the trail as it goes near the old guest house cove. That looks very nice. \nBut I think you can get some more nickels. From parking i would remind that they collect for parking in the Presidio and they collect the parking At the other place. \nWhy San Francisco can’t charge for parking for this really great place to visit. \nIs craziness you know um doesn’t make any sense. And there is transit very close. People can walk a few blocks from the transit so That’s enough. Good luck. I’m really concerned. \nHow many feet is enough mud over the that stuff that’s below. Thank you. \nThank you. \nOkay\, up next I have Danny\, no last name. You have three minutes. \nHello\, can we get the slide up of the new proposed Marina Green Triangle design \nI have to stop sharing. \nHmm. \nWhile that’s getting pulled up\, just want to thank Monica Scott for your work on this. And I am grateful of all the things that we are have lost the west harbor boat proposal that is a huge improvement and why there was \nYeah\, anyway\, so… that focusing on this next\, I do agree with many of the other people that the community outreach as far as designing some of these things is not as thorough as it was made out to be. \nSo the fitness plaza Is what I’m here to comment on today in this trail This actually is one of the This is one of the hallmarks\, I think\, of the marina\, the ability to have an outdoor workout area where you can \nHave space for dogs to play And that’s a huge part of the reason that I live here. Three volleyball courts. \nDoes a tremendous\, I think\, disservice to the space. I can’t see any use why three volleyball courts would be used. \nPeople do set up volleyball sometimes but those would be very\, very underutilized and would be really\, that would cost a lot of maintenance and they would take a huge amount of they would have a huge impact on that space. So there’s people that set up \nVolleyball elsewhere and it’s Fine\, but if maybe one is fine\, but three\, I think\, removes a huge amount of the ability for people to have dogs run in that area. \nSecondly\, on the bay trail parks about two or three years ago removed all of the trash cans that were along the water. So there’s like no place to put dog poop as you’re walking on the trail. \nSo if the idea for this area is community benefit hopefully we can increase get some of the trash cans back so that If people are walking on the trail\, they have a place to put poop and there will be less like litter and food scraps \nAnd dog poop that finds its way just on the side of the trail. \nThank you so much. \nThank you very much. I appreciate that comment. \nDo we have anyone else online? Two. Okay\, thank you. \nOkay\, next I have Steve Welch. Followed by Bruce Stone. \nHi\, I’m Stephen Welch. Can you hear me? \nWe can hear you\, yes. \nSo I’m the sea scout committee chair. We have a historic cultural connection We were operating in the San Francisco Marina East Harbor from 1920 to 1947. \nWhen San Francisco Rec Park moved us over to Aquatic Park. \nAnd now that the National Park Service is our landlord\, they have let our facility completely fall apart into the water this year they chainsawed our pilings we don’t have more than one boat that we can get to get kids in and out of. Since 2021\, we’ve had a 400% increase in membership. \nThis marina renewal is a once in a lifetime opportunity to have a new facility for our city junior high and high school kids who we introduced to the maritime careers to accommodate the needed youth training facility which can be accomplished if you just require that community doc to have an H \nConfiguration. So one side could be secured for youth boats and youth access and then where the enhanced bathrooms go or maybe somewhere else But we need like a clubhouse with a classroom you know this would be the largest park or marina facility \nWithout a supporting building. Anywhere around the Bay Area that I know of. And as the C. Scott committee chair i actually cover San Francisco\, Alameda\, Contra Costa\, Napa\, Solano and lake counties and work with many\, many of our programs. \nThat’s all I have to say. \nThank you for those comments. Next. \nOkay\, Bruce Stone\, you have three minutes. \nThank you. Can you hear me? \nYes\, we can hear you. \nSo I wanted to turn up my phone. Let me see the computer. Okay. So I’m head of the arena harbor association And we’ve got concerns about the gas dock location. \nThe proposed area that they’ve indicated\, which is a over at west harbor is too crowded. It’s a choke point for sailboats filling up and down the harbor without motors to get past that spot. \nAlso\, on the tour side\, you have a problem. Of the fuel trucks coming to a very congested area to refuel the tanks there It’s very difficult to make cars making that turn. Then you had some fuel trucks every two or three days in there\, that’s further issues. \nThe tanks that they’re proposing in West Harbor have to be vented directly upwind of the playgrounds. \nSo you’d be having toxic fumes going to hitting the soccer moms and their kids in that area. The better location is east harbor Just inside that breakwater that’s going to be built there. \nIt could be right along the new peer that they’re proposing for public access And if that peer moved maybe 30 feet further to the south\, you would have no impact really of the turning basin issue that they cite in there would go away. \nSo both could come in and refuel on a nice long dock\, a much safer location And without little sailboats coming by and trying to get past them. \nSo I really believe this is in your bailiwick as the PCDC people to really opine about the fuel dock location because the location in West Harbor is terrible from a toxic standpoint to pedestrians and and users of the park and also to the kids sailing up and down that harbor without motors to get around commercial boats trying to come in and refuel \nNeither the art clubs nor the Marina Harbor Association want that location. \nWe all want to see it over in East Harbor. Obviously\, it might not be able to be kept where Chrissy has her right now but transformed over to the north west corner is an area where fuel trucks could easily get in \nAnd the tanks that would be installed would vent back out towards the harbor and open water they wouldn’t affect people enjoying the marina green. \nSo appreciate if you take a look at that and get some guidance to RPD about that. Also to Steve Walsh’s idea about shore site amenities for youth sailing We’ve sent Rec and Park a detailed design about a clubhouse and a pier that could adopt that could have showers and lockers and \nFacilities for small boats to be stored there and launched off of a that area and wouldn’t need much dredging\, maybe a couple of feet from what they have right now. \nIf you’re interested\, I can send you those designs. They were done by a professional naval architect. \nThank you very much for those comments. Sarah had one more sneak in on us. Okay\, one more. Let’s go. Thank you. \nMargo Attard\, I’ve unmuted you and you have three minutes\, please. \nHello\, can you hear me? \nYes\, we can hear you. \nThank you all so much for your time this evening and for this presentation. And while I do think it’s a step improved from the initial proposals last year um i think there are still some major issues. And I just wanted to raise some concerns there. So I don’t have any personal relationship to the sea scouts \nBut I definitely love their ideas and want to support those initiatives. So anyway\, you could prioritize the needs of the sea scouts\, I think that’s great. \nI also wanted to emphasize something that the guy said earlier who had issue with like the volleyball courts and the\, you lack of trash cans and stuff like that. I just wanted to mention that the marina green can be used for volleyball\, not to officially put up a volleyball court\, but like people can use that for their volleyball needs. And I think that \nThe percentage of volleyball players in San Francisco and in the marina area as compared to like the percentage of dog owners. I think the dog owners are the majority by far and making sure that we’re able to keep the space for dog walks and fetch and stuff I think is pretty imperative. And I am a little confused by some of the \nLike the amount of recreation that is proposed at this time. I think being able to maintain at least You know\, some space and keeping things the way that they are. And like the person said about protecting the wave organ and stuff like that\, I think all of that is \nIs really crucial in maintaining the marina as we know it and love it. \nAnd that is all I have. Thank you. \nThank you very much. One more comment. Oh. \nWe do also have public comments submitted to staff and they will be posted to the website. \nDo you want me to read through now? Maybe a summary. Yes\, yes. \nBill Clark already spoke\, so I won’t review his comments. They were similar to what was submitted in the letter. \nJanet Rocco said\, please don’t obscure our shoreline and many more any more than it already is and boat slips are fine\, even desirable\, but anything else is a hard no. Let people enjoy what little is left of the views while walking marina green or driving down the marina boulevard. \nLi Wo of MTC The Bay Trail. Commented on the bay trail width and capacity the San Francisco Marina is a high use area. There’s a high demand for public shore and trail area or trail use in this area. \nAnd this project presents an opportunity to increase the capacity of the Bay Trail through widening the overall corridor designated for the Bay Trail and its users. \nCurrently\, the existing matril is 12 feet and they’re proposing to rebuild it at that same width\, but the bay trail guidelines request a starting point of about 18 feet. \nFor the Bay 12 corridor. With additional with additional width to be considered. \nBased on the level of use. Also\, Baytrail user amenities. We request that the DRB and project sponsor to include amenities valuable to bay trail users\, such as a bottle fill station\, water fountains\, and bike repair stations. \nAs part of the marina project. We appreciate that the project sponsor’s proposal to renovate the existing public restrooms that will be needed and a useful amenity to patrol users. \nAnd finally\, the connections to the Bay Trail. Mtc request that the DRB and project sponsor consider whether the existing and proposed bicycle and pedestrian facilities for the SF Marina Project provides safe\, usable\, and low stress connections to the bay trail for bicyclists and pedestrians from the surrounding areas and roadways. \nAnd whether additional connections are needed. Okay\, thank you for that summary. And I just want to say again how much we appreciate all of the public comment. \nPeople here in person\, people online\, people who submitted comments and I also want to say that we are in a process at this time. So I think this is perfect timing to be providing input like this. I know there has been outreach and \nSome of you may have been able to engage more directly than others. \nI’m sure the project proponents are writing as many notes as we are and we’ll be taking all of your comments on board. \nOkay\, at this point\, we’ll move to the next part of the agenda which is Board discussion and advice and what we do during this stage is we We have a comment period and discussion between ourselves. We base it on \nThe key objectives for public access\, which is our priority. And they are just a reminder to make the public access as accessible as possible for everybody and as public as possible. \nTo make sure that the visual access to the bays enhanced and maintained and is preserved as a resource for users. \nAnd to make sure we enhance or where we can and at least maintain the visual quality of the bay and the adjoining developments and making sure that to a point that Ashley was just making and is that the connections and the continuity to the Bay Trail and access are as optimal as possible. \nAnd making sure that we take wildlife into account and we take advantage obviously of the incredible base setting that exists at this location. \nAnd staff have asked us\, so I’m speaking to the board now\, staff have asked us to look at two\, well\, four questions and Rowan actually provided a number of sub points which are in your notes. I’ll just summarize the four questions and \nWhat we’ll do is we’ll go around and just have each board member comment on one or possibly two of the questions that really stand out to them. \nThe goal being at the end to make sure that we’ve addressed these questions in a way that the staff and the proponent can take this feedback forward. \nThe first question is… Is the proposed project concept plan that we’re reviewing tonight. Is it providing adequate\, usable and attractive public access that maximises the public use and enjoyment of the area. \nAnd so there are some sub points that were highlighted to do with creating a sense of place. \nDiverse activities Are we balancing? Is the proposal balancing the needs of the public Are there adequate microclimate considerations for users? \nFor example\, wind protection\, shade\, so on and uh And the… community engagement process\, a specific point here about will the project concept is presented\, preserve the open horizon and the views from Marina Green. So that’s all bundled up under question one. \nThe second question really concentrates more on the connections to and through the public access spaces that we’re reviewing tonight. \nThe public’s use and enjoyment of the site. So maybe if you could really focus on other connections being optimized in the proposal and other potential conflicts or congestion points the pedestrian paths\, parking lots\, bike paths and what could be done to mitigate \nThose conflicts if we see the conflicts there And then the third question\, are there adequate support facilities proposed for water oriented uses? \nAnd the support facilities that we would be considering\, of course\, parking and the vehicular circulation\, the restrooms\, equipment storage etc. And then does the project design adequately address resilience and future adaptation for sea level rise? \nNow\, I think we heard at the beginning of the proponent’s presentation that they anticipate coming back. So there’s definitely I think more. \nThe more data that we will have when we see the proposal again And more response to these questions of resilience an adaptation as needed. \nI’m going to start with the our online team here Tom\, do you want to just lead off with and address any one of those questions that really strikes you as being critical. \nSome of them are interrelated\, but you know it’s the location of open space relative to the shoreline\, I guess. \nOkay. \nI feel like we didn’t get an adequate answer to Gary’s question. \nLike why so much vehicular circulation so much parking in the shoreline band. \nAnd I can understand it’s probably a very Hot button\, but… I think we need to understand more. What is that hot button and are there no ways to Why is that such an overwhelming criteria here because normally Just like Gary said\, you’d expect to see parking to the rear. \nAnd see the public access maximized Unless somehow the parking is uh something more i don’t know. I don’t know. That part I don’t get. And then secondary concerns were uh I feel it seems like there’s a lot of questions to be answered about the fuel \nUh fueling. Location and safety and things like that. And third. \nI feel like the… amount of sand in volleyball is out of proportion I agree with some of these comments out of proportion to the amount of green open space there\, given that it’s kind of a at a premium. I’m all for recreation\, but I feel like the \nThe sand somehow is… taken up a bit too much space. \nYeah. Okay. Thanks\, Tom. We’ll go to Bob. \nThat’s all I’ve got. \nBob\, do you want to weigh in on any one of these questions issues that strike you? \nYeah\, I mean\, I really agree with what Tom said about the fuel dock and sea scouts and also what Gary brought up and Tom mentioned about the parking on the marina green i I sense that this is a very touchy subject any kind of change can \nRaise concerns about people. So I don’t mean to say I think that this is an easy topic necessarily but I do think it makes sense to move the Bay Trail back from the shore from the shore perspective of adaptation of that \nAmenity with sea level rise i think One way to handle sea level rise is to accommodate some overtopping and flooding by moving things back from the shore And maybe also raising them Bye. \nI also think that it would be\, I think it would be nice if people could stand near the shore And not worry about conflicts with bicyclists and vice versa. \nSo for pedestrians that are running or on their own. So I kind of feel like the trail should be moved back. I do know people like to park there and You know\, it’s a nice place to listen to music or whatever. \nElse that people do in their cars. Depending on the hour of the day. \nBut I think it’s maybe that’s a little old school. Maybe it’s something that needs to be changed. \nThe fuel dock rings really true to me as somebody that’s worked around marinas and facilities. \nBoats need fuel. If this is one of the only fuel docks around. \nI haven’t studied this\, but intuitively it makes sense that putting it over in the west harbor it might cause more problems? \nThen it solves. And I think that’s particularly strange to me. I’m sure there’s something I don’t understand. She’s got some very You know\, being a water person myself\, not a sailor i think Sea Scout facilities are\, I think it’s really important our children \nAnd I think the adults get a lot out of it too. They need things to do. \nAnd we’re by the water and it seems like a very healthy thing. So I would like to see the city County of San Francisco support. \nThat amenity. And then just jumping down to the uh… sea level rise thing\, I think there really are no criteria provided. I appreciate the explanation. It’s not clear what actions are being taken. \nRelated to sea level rise in this presentation. So if the DRB is going to review this\, I suggest there’s a few things that need to be included. \nAnd the next topic\, you know\, or if not certainly the ECRB would like to\, what are the datums used What are the elevations in a datum that I can understand? \nRelative to the ocean. How is sea level rise being considered? What does it look like in the future? Will the Bay Trail be underwater? \nEtc. And how do you adapt? I mean\, what’s the plan? \nSo there’s nothing really provided that I saw that really indicates it has even been considered. \nI don’t think that’s the case\, but certainly if we are going to review this or someone is\, there needs to be some information So those are my comments. \nI don’t think I have. Oh\, the one thing about the sand transport that is kind of a very interesting issue. \nAnd also\, again\, I think the history is very interesting. And I think we’ve lost some context here. \nThere’s a lot of context but i think This is an iconic area\, so I think a little more on the context. \nMight be of interest. And might actually be of interest to all the real… talented and effective designers on the design review board. \nWhich is not really my area of expertise. \nThank you. \nYeah\, thank you bob we’ll Keep going and then we’ll just see how these threads are coming together. Leo. \nDo you want to make some comments? Sure. Thank you\, Chair. \nFirst of all\, I want to thank the public for coming out. These projects are very challenging and it’s important that we hear everybody’s voices so thank you This project is so important to the city. This is one of our most important public spaces. It’s one of the most memorable. It’s what everybody \nThinks about\, I think\, when they think about San Francisco and certainly Just down the road\, Chrissy Field shows what can happen with significant transformation of a waterfront. \nThe design team is great and super capable. So I do think for me\, there are a couple of significant questions. I am very sympathetic to what Gary and Tom raised\, I think that It is strange that the most recreation focused portion of our waterfronts \nIs separated from the waterfront by parking and roads for its full length And it does get very congested. Those intersections on either side of the triangle Because of the odd geometry and the crossover of traffic\, I’ve seen it many\, many times\, particularly when there’s events over it. \nFort Mason gets very\, very overrun. The movement patterns are not obvious sometimes. And so\, you know\, people walking in the drive aisles and such So I do think it’s um more consideration. I think there are options probably to move the marina triangle closer to one side or the other of the waterfront without having to put the parking up against Marina Boulevard. I think there’s other ways to do it. \nI think that’s very important. And I think also it would improve access to the waterfront for the public. \nWe have… neighbors and residents of the area who use the space. We have folks from all over the city. There’s so many programs that are run out on the green. \nWe have tourists\, we have visitors. It’s a large and diverse group of users. And I think that the amount of options for usage seems like there needs to be more thought given into that. I think that there’s I think as the population of the city continues to grow and will continue to grow that \nDemand from open space and how it can serve our public is going to continue to grow. So we really need to think about what those options might be. \nI think that\, you know\, whether it’s sea scouts or supporting these uses is important. Most of the small neighborhood parks have community centers associated with them. \nIt’s a bit strange that this area does not have one. \nI can imagine it would be very popular with the public and well supported. \nAnd then\, um. I think just in general\, oh\, and on the parking The dedicated spaces right now are the ones obviously closest to the waterfront for the boats boat owners and users. \nI think it’d be worth thinking about how parking is dedicated to the boat users. I think there is a kind of preferential treatment for the boat users above and beyond everybody else in the public. And I think the convenience is important. I understand how that \nThe maintenance and equipping of the vessels is important\, but I think we can find other ways to do that. \nOh\, and one last comment. I think that for me\, the spaces are still And this is probably in the course of development they still feel a little transitory for me. There are pathways. \nAnd I think some consideration really about how people could occupy and use the spaces. So I would love to see more seating\, more variations on types of seating. \nThat really kind of support and encourage people to linger and enjoy what is going to be transformed. \nThank you\, Leo. Kristen. \nI have a lot of questions and I don’t have a lot of coherent sort of recommendations. But I sort of think of there’s this story about two people are fighting over an orange They both want the orange and it turns out one person wanted the juice and the other person wanted the peel. So they both get to have what they wanted out of the orange. \nAnd I think of design as sort of the opportunity to figure out how to have multiple users get what they would like. \nAnd I can see from the materials that were shared about outreach. And it’s difficult to wade into conversations like this that have obviously been ongoing. \nRpd is incredibly thoughtful about how to design parks and spaces and be stewards of these spaces. \nDefinitely believe that there’s been a lot of thinking put into it. \nExcellent team of design firms who are thinking about all of these things in very sophisticated ways. \nAnd it strikes me that we’re hearing a lot from the folks who are sort of users of the waterfront in a more industrial commercial way that maybe didn’t have an opportunity to be as involved in that outreach or Potentially. \nThat’s question. It strikes me that one of the things that is so wonderful about San Francisco\, I grew up sailing and paddling on the San Francisco Bay. And it’s true that these fuel docks are really important pieces of infrastructure. And it’s so great to stand at \nThese spaces and see all these boats out on the water and see the fishing boats going out. And the reason they can do that is because there are these pieces of infrastructure that support those uses like fuel docks\, which are incredibly important for even sailboats need fuel\, right? Everybody needs fuel. \nSo it also seems like that has been a little bit of an afterthought. \nAnd it maybe shouldn’t be. I also realized that there’s the settlement from PG&E that probably has a you know limit to how much money can be spent in which ways and probably this solution about the kind of shallow cove is a way to meet the remediation needs in a more cost-effective way and so \nI’m sure that’s why this solution has been decided and that the best use then of this shallow water area is for kayaking. \nAnd so then potentially this solution doesn’t allow for dredging and maintaining this fuel dock in this location. And so I understand how all of those things can kind of come to a decision like what we see here. \nSo it does seem very important you know as a boater and hearing the public comment and you know to be honest\, we rarely get this much public comment it’s really you know there’s obviously a lot of interest and sentiment in this issue \nAnd it came across very clearly that the fuel dock and the opportunity of the sea scouts is really important. \nSet of stakeholders in this area And I would love to see a way that the fuel dock can be maintained or moved in a way that is functional. \nI’m a little confused by why people are worried about spaces for dogs when there’s this huge green to the west that seems like a great space for dogs. \nThe volleyball courts\, there are lots of impromptu volleyball courts set up. There’s a whole big space here and we’re kind of only looking at this triangle and I’m assuming that that’s because people kind of like things the way that they are and there’s resistance to change there. \nI would also just say that as somebody who comes to this waterfront every weekend and I literally walk this whole thing every weekend. \nMarina Boulevard itself is this wonderful public space the street itself is this great public space and it’s really wonderful to be walking down that promenade and have the grass on the one side and the beautiful houses on the other and kind of enjoying that space. \nFrom that promenade\, your view is not really of the water. It’s of cars\, parked cars. \nAnd then you can see the hills in the distance. And I would think actually having some boats parked beyond the cars would be more scenic looking at a bunch of parked cars. \nOr bringing people out closer to the waterfront and having those cars be next to Marina Boulevard. I can understand why there’s tension around some of those design choices but And again\, this is a team that I’m sure has thought through all of these things. \nSo yeah\, I guess\, what am I trying to say? I think… If we want to see people continue to use the water the water. \nBeyond just recreation\, beyond paddling\, we really need to support those types of uses\, which require slips\, which require slips that are affordable to people and which require fuel docks and other pieces of infrastructure like that. \nIt’s a ramble. That’s my ramble. Okay. Thank you. An excellent ramble. \nWe’ll come back to some of those points. Yeah\, I agree. This is the most public participation we’ve had in a project probably in couple of years that I can remember. \nAnd\, you know\, it’s not everybody’s been heard. So I think that point’s been made. \nIt’d be great to try to resolve some of these comments\, including the wave organ kind of strikes me as a good one. Is it possible to do studies or to predict what is going to be the effect on the wave organ? Because that is an important monument in San Francisco. \nAlso wanted to mention a little bit Leo hit on a little bit\, you know\, the entrance to Fort Mason\, you know\, that big wide curb cut on the curve of Marina Boulevard there does create a lot of confusing congestion for pedestrians and \nCars and bikes already and i think that The triangle Park being more kind of intimately scaled than the Marina Green is going to probably get a lot of activity. So it’s going to\, I think it’s going to intensify the circulation \nIn this area and so The other thing is that there’s There’s the marina grove we haven’t really talked about. I think that’s another destination that’s going to bring people into that you know very complicated circulation Nexus. And then in addition \nAbove Fort Mason\, you know\, you have the Fort Mason park So people coming from aquatic park are walking on that roadway and up over the big meadow and then down and then you’re kind of unceremoniously dumped onto the Laguna where it meets Marina Boulevard. It’s a very narrow sidewalk there are bikes \nPeople\, I mean\, it’s such a such a difficult intersection there so I don’t know that we’re going to solve all that. I just want to bring it to everybody’s attention that the the you know it’s going to ripple out from here \nIt’s not just the triangle park i i think that intersection of Laguna and marina is a little bit problematic. \nEverything else I think has been said here. I just want to say the When I look at the conceptual sections and then look at the render of the very green shoreline\, I’m having a little bit of a disconnect and I’d love to see a section of how that really works. \nStructurally\, if it’s really possible. Because the image is really appealing\, but then I kind of feel like maybe we’re not actually\, it’s going to be hard to pull off. \nAnd then finally\, I think Bob didn’t mention that there’s all this historic debris because this was a fill area from the 1906 earthquake there are some classical columns that are sitting in the shallow basin that I saw the other day when I went by and i know that \nNorth of the marina green at a very low tide\, you used to be able to see all kinds of interesting things\, you know\, keystones and\, you know\, Corinthian column capitals. And I don’t know if it’s something washed\, you know\, further into the bay it seemed less \nVisible when I was there last. But anyway\, there’s definitely a story there that could be told. \nSo I think that’s it for me. Thank you. Yep. Thanks\, Gary and um Thanks\, everyone\, for just weighing in on those with your priority\, if you’d like\, reactions to this. \nI just want to pick up on A couple of points. I’m going to focus my comments here more on questions two and three\, I guess. \nAnd before I do that\, I just want to step back a bit because This is actually one of my favorite places along the entire San Francisco waterfront and The reason that I really like it is the um i like the \nContextual setting to it you know um marina green Fort Mason. \nWe talked about some of the other places in the environment but when you are in this location is a very intimate place. And I think there’s something incredibly… important that respond to when you see them walking or see them \nBicycling you know along uh it really is a place that has a different character to it and and it’s associated with the boating and the marina and a whole range of other things. \nI think the challenge with this is that When you look at it just as defined by the project site that we’re reviewing. \nYou look at it in a very specific almost it’s the inclination is to look at it as a in isolation almost from what’s immediately adjacent to it and And I think we can be To question three\, you know\, focused primarily on how the connections are being made \nBut perhaps not the primary question\, which is you know what is the uh what is the fundamental nature of this place? Is it is it a Is it a series of important connections with you know important infrastructure Is it an important park in itself? \nIs it something that everyone should put everything that they’ve ever wanted into you know or is it something that we should think about distributing you know\, some of these very interesting possibilities across a broader landscape. \nAnd I think\, you know\, the points that you guys were bringing up about the parking\, balancing parking\, where is it located? You know\, can it be taken away from the edge i i I really agree with that. I suspect. \nThat going back to some of the the first question about the first question budget and and how do you spend your money effectively. \nI’m sure there’s a lot that’s gone into how much can we move\, take away\, reconfigure versus what we bring in. \nBut I think for a space as important as this. And given everything we’ve heard tonight. \nI think it is\, I would like to see it some of these comments that you’ve made. \nJust brought into bear in the next iteration of this design. \nSo that the concept may be maybe everyone doesn’t get exactly what they want. \nBut maybe the fundamental importance of this space in terms of meeting critical access criteria\, critical connections and ensuring visibility to the bay which are out primary purviews as well as a good balance of uses is accomplished. I mean\, I like \nThere are things that I really like about this concept. I like the establishment of a clearer plaza\, the marina Grove space is currently named. \nAnd I think the connection to Fort Mason is very critical. And at the moment\, it’s not very well handled. The vegetation is really overgrown. There’s a narrow gateway that you walk through that doesn’t actually feel very safe. You know\, if it was dark\, I’m not sure I would want to walk through there. \nYou have… I’m not sure that the wayfinding for tourists is very clear. I mean\, even as a local\, if you don’t know this area very well you’re coming up over the Fort Mason Hill and coming down into Fort Mason coming\, which is a very popular direction for people to be going in\, heading towards the \nGolden Gate Bridge\, it’s not exactly clear what’s happening in this sort of mixing area. And maybe it’s fine for it to remain undefined. It mixes reasonably well most of the time. Sometimes it’s extremely busy and very sort of chaotic but uh \nBut I think… I think the just making sure that the connections at the eastern end of the I was the uh east bay here and bay here making sure that the connections at the West are accomplished adequately is important. \nI like the i like creation of the nature exploration terrorists. I think\, you know\, it’s definitely widening that area which is very narrow at the moment from the standpoint of pedestrian walkway. \nAnd so you know\, that’s a good start. \nIt would be good to understand more about what the real required level of parking is in this area versus perhaps just keeping it as close to the existing count as possible. I know that it does get very busy at \nYou know\, key times it would be good to look at that. \nA couple of small points. I’m just going to mention it because I was very intrigued in the in\, you know\, in terms of user groups And what came out as being important and maybe this is important you know we have the fuel dock\, which is such a critical infrastructure for the bay and \nI would like to understand better you know uh white here why not here perhaps further east uh you know we have the in fact we reviewed the um the fire uh the new fire department what pier is that again that’s at um \n35\, 35? Firehouse\, 35. Firehouse 35. Anyway\, you know what I’m talking about but uh you know and south beach harbour marina you know we’ve got a whole dotted series of very important places where people need to fuel so I’m not quite sure exactly \nYou know why why Exactly. It’s critical versus other locations. And do we need more than one? You know\, I mean\, what is the situation and I think the point made by the the public comment speaker in relation to safety is really critical as well. And I’d like to understand more about that. \nWhen we see it again. \nYou know\, on question three\, just a comment about support facilities you know again uh I think we should have. \nAs much water oriented uses as we can in this area. \nAnd landside facilities are obviously required. But again\, I think we have to be I’d like a lot of thought to go into\, you know\, at each point whether there’s uh \nWhether this is starting to be filled up too much you know or not with all of those facilities. I do agree with the I think someone made about making sure that there’s still plenty of places to sit. We obviously need trash cans \nAnd all the other things that I’m sure will be in the more detailed plans. There’s an excellent team on this project. \nSo I think that’s all I want to say. I’ll come back and just make a summary comment later on but I think there’s some… general agreement on a a lot of these issues from the board so I think we’ll pause there. \nAnd do you want me to just make a short summary as well? \nI will just sort of go down what I think we’ve all discussed tonight\, not necessarily with strong recommendations but you know for the fuel dock location I think we’d like to understand why it is so critical that it be here\, taking into account the historic \nAssociations with it and you know we’ve heard a lot about the importance of it. So like to really understand if it’s going to move somewhere Let’s have an agreed location for where it should be and make sure that the appropriate outreach has been done. \nThe Sailing use programs\, you know\, I just think So sad to see so sad the um The Sea Scouts building falling into the water around an aquatic park and so if there is some way to\, in a new way looking forward to incorporate \nSea Scouts operations into this area\, I think that would be\, especially with the removal of the docs here you know that that would be a very exciting opportunity The adequacy of mud cover on the contaminated areas has been brought up a number of times. And again\, I just think some \nClearer \nAnalysis or if you’ve done it just for people to understand the adequacy of that. \nThis is a very big project. I think everyone’s concern is that at the end. \nIt’s going to accomplish the objectives that you set out very clearly at the beginning of the presentation. \nThe sand buildup we we’ve and the potential for that to occur or not. It sounds like there’s technical studies there and it would be good to make sure that that’s thoroughly reviewed with the key stakeholders who are concerned about this before we see the project again. \nThere seemed to be some questioning\, you know\, are kayaks\, do we want kayaks or not? I think one speaker spoke with about some concerns about that. \nAnd again\, I think it just comes back to managing the uses and the stakeholder groups and\, you know\, is that a use that can be accomplished here\, which with the environment that exists here that makes sense. So some justification for that \nI agree there seems to be plenty of areas for dogs to play in. \nObviously appropriate disposal areas are needed. \nThe question of volleyball courts\, are there too many? I mean\, it is… when you think of that scale relative to the existing fitness plaza which is actually quite a strong focal point as you come along Marina Boulevard and This is a big zone and it’s a use that is very popular and I think the question there really is \nYou know do you need three permanent three permanent volleyball courts or you know Is there still the ability to balance? I just think evaluating the stakeholders who are behind that use and just understanding more whether three is really the number would be helpful to us. \nThe adequacy of outreach\, we hood the number of speakers. \nSpeak to the fact that they have not maybe don’t feel or have not had the the level of contact they would like to discuss their issues so maybe I would just suggest that there be some targeted outreach to continue with some of these stakeholders. \nWe talked about historical significance of the area and the wave organ. And again\, I think these elements that are So\, um. \nKnown to the community and the historical significance of this area is weighed into the concept as it continues to develop. So I’ll stop there but uh i I think that summarizes Our comments. \nCan I… add a comment. \nSure\, Bob\, go ahead. \nYeah\, you know\, I had mentioned\, I kind of alluded to historical aspects of the marina Just to clarify\, just working on memory here. \nThere was at one point a waiting area on the far west end of the marina when it was originally or constructed or subsequently modified where people were to walk into the marina waters and for various reasons\, including facilitation I don’t know that that ever really worked. \nAlso\, the marina has changed size various times because it’s it’s fill And there are some old kind of lighthouse looking structures that at one point were the entrance and now is part of a fairway. \nI just feel like there’s a number of those things. And of course\, the wave organ\, which I think is plugged with sand. Maybe it’s not now\, but it has been in the past. \nI think there’s just some really interesting aspects of this site. \nThat deserve some review for the context of the site in my So I just wanted to add a few more facts if those are correct. \nTo why I said that. \nYeah\, that’s great\, Bob. And I think… I think the proponents are making notes on this question about exploring the historical significance of a number of elements. Yeah. \nThank you. Okay. We can move to the proponent. Thank you. \nGreat. Well\, thank you so much for all of the comments and considerations. And thank you also to the public. \nI guess a couple of things that I just want to Really quickly\, high level\, I know it’s been a long long meeting already So the fuel dock\, we had analyzed keeping it in its existing location The cost of that would be about $20 to $25 million. So there’s \nThat one had a clear economic financial reason for why we could not keep it there. \nWe looked at about 15 other locations in other parts of the East Harbour and the West Harbor and Moffat and Nickel led that review with our harbormaster. We also reviewed that with Bruce Stone of the Harbor Association and some \nMembers of the yacht Club. We are also\, Wreck and Park is also eager to speak with the port about other potential locations for a fuel dock. \nAnd I had spoken with the fire department\, police department\, and the Coast Guard The fire department has mobile fueling options. That’s what’s happening now with Hyde Street Pier closing. \nSo this is definitely a citywide problem. It’s a bay wide problem\, but really a citywide problem and they seem to be closing I know at Oyster Point it closed\, Berkeley Marina closed so Yeah\, we’re doing our best and we’re continuing to to \nFind the best solution that will not annoy everybody. \nThen we have feasibility to the cover question\, and Ryan can maybe speak up\, but we have the feasibility studies were submitted to the water board They’ve reviewed them. Those are on our website as the project website\, as well as the water board’s website \nSo hopefully answers to concerns around the toxic toxicity in the cap can be reference there\, but we can also return with more information next time we come back to you. \nI have met repeatedly with the Exploratorium and the artist of the wave organ\, Peter Richards. \nSo he’s reviewed these plans. He’s on board with the understanding without the breakwater\, the wave organ would become a beach. And that’s not ideal for him and it yes we do expect it to continue to function with despite the breakwater with these change conditions. And we’re looking forward to keeping him engaged as the plans develop. \nThen let me see. Sea Scouts\, right? This is wonderful news actually for me to hear some more context. I’d spoken with Maggie at length. \nI didn’t realize the aquatic park facility was failing. I thought\, oh\, great\, you’re at Aquatic Park. \nThat’s close enough. But yeah\, we’re happy to work with them. I think Rick\, I can’t speak for all of Breck and Park\, but I know that We definitely are always looking for partnerships with community organizations and we understand the significance \nSignificance of the Sea Scouts. So I hope to contact Stephen Welch\, I believe is his name. \nUm and Great feedback on the volleyball. We’ll do more. We’ll do more research on this. \nAnd parking as well. Thank you for that feedback i think so many iterations of this have happened over the Now\, two years that I’ve been involved with this project but i think we’re I’m always happy to make it better if we can. So we’ll see what we can do there. \nYeah\, I will\, as was mentioned\, a lot of people aren’t here that had spoken up against the project or for the project. \nBut happy to do we do outreach is ongoing for rec and park and for me. So most of these people that you’ve heard from have my contact information. \nHappy to keep the conversation alive. And then\, yes\, thanks\, Bob\, for the references to all the historic features one of\, you know\, as a project manager\, it’s like scope creep is real But we’re happy to include what we can. I’m sure there’ll be some signage. \nI think some of the rubble and the remnants we hope to reinstall as riprap right so I think I’ll end there. \nThank you very much. And again\, I just want to say you know recognize the hard work that the project teams put in. This is a very complex and a very important project so Thank you for all the hard work today. We’ll look forward to seeing you \nAgain\, I usually ask the board if we should see the project again\, but I think in this case it’s a given the project will come back to us. \nWith that\, we’ll move to concluding the meeting. I’d like to entertain a motion and a seconder to… I will make a motion to adjourn. \nThank you\, Gary. Leo\, second. Okay\, thank you very much. All in favor? \nSecond. \nBye. \nBye. \nAll right. Okay. So the meeting is adjourned. Just want to thank everyone and particularly thank the people who took the time from people from the community who took the time to come here tonight and And make us aware of your concerns and interests. So thank you again \nAnd thank you to the staff for all your hard work. Okay\, see you next time.

Training. \nYerba Buena SX80: Please complete this by the end of 2024\, and please reach out to me if you need the link. Resent \nYerba Buena SX80: for project updates. The regional shoreline adaptation plan was adopted by the Commission last Thursday. \nYerba Buena SX80: The Rsap. Framework in the public draft were brought to the Board in June and October of this year and staff look forward to bringing updates on the planning and technical guidance as the implementation of those efforts move forward. \nYerba Buena SX80: Staff are working on the permit application for 1499\, Bayshore\, the R. And D. Campus in Burlingame\, came to you in November\, in 2023\, \nYerba Buena SX80: and we will also likely have Brooklyn Basin Channel Park. Coming to the Drb. In spring 2025. The Brooklyn Basin project most recently came before the Board in April 2019. \nYerba Buena SX80: Our next Drb. Meeting will be January 6\, th and will be a review of the San Francisco\, Rec. And Park district or Department\, East Harbor and Marina Green Project. \nYerba Buena SX80: and that\, concludes the Bcdc staff update. I’ll pause here to answer any questions from the Board already. \nYerba Buena SX80: Any questions from board members. \nYerba Buena SX80: Okay\, I just have one comment. I just want to congratulate all the staff at Bcdc. For accomplishing the regional shoreline adaptation plan. That was a big day on Thursday\, was it? Last week? Yeah\, and \nYerba Buena SX80: and it was fantastic to see so much interest in it. And it’s certainly got a lot of media attention. So I was really felt\, you guys have accomplished a lot with that. And and it’s work that’s going to be very impactful with all cities as we progress over coming years so well done to everybody. Thank you for the hard work. \nYerba Buena SX80: Okay\, so with that\, we’ll move to agenda. Item number 3 \nYerba Buena SX80: which is a public comment for items that are not on tonight’s agenda. So we’ll have public comment for the proposed development. But\, \nYerba Buena SX80: is there any public comment for anything that’s not on the agenda. I see no public comment. Okay? \nYerba Buena SX80: Well\, hearing that\, we will move on \nYerba Buena SX80: to agenda. Item number 4\, which is the 1st review of the Marina Point Development project in Richmond\, Contra Costa Costa County. \nYerba Buena SX80: And we have actually\, I’ll just run through the Project review order so that we can keep track of that. So we’ll start with the Bcdc. Staff project presentations\, and then we will move to clarifying questions from the board \nYerba Buena SX80: on the materials presented to us by the staff. Then we will go to public comment. \nYerba Buena SX80: Then we will move to board. \nYerba Buena SX80: discussion and summary\, and then we’ll have the staff response\, and I immediately following the Bcdc staff presentation and the clarifying comments\, we will have the proponent presentation as well. Yeah. \nYerba Buena SX80: Okay. \nYerba Buena SX80: And I do want to welcome our in person representatives from the proposed development. It makes a big difference to us to have people in person. We really appreciate that. I think it helps the \nYerba Buena SX80: level of communication between us all. So\, thanks for being here. \nYerba Buena SX80: Okay. So with that. Bcdc\, permit analyst\, Lisa Herron will introduce the project. Thank you. Lisa. \nYerba Buena SX80: Right? \nYerba Buena SX80: Okay. Thank you. Chair Mccann\, and good evening board members. I’m Lisa Herron\, a shoreline development analyst at Bcdc. \nYerba Buena SX80: Before I present the staff introduction. I’d like to remind anyone who’s on the project team and staff to please turn on your video when you’re speaking or answering questions\, and when you’re not actively engaged \nYerba Buena SX80: with the board. Please turn off your video so that we can minimize the distractions on the screen. And for now I’d like to introduce the project for tonight’s Review. This is the 1st review of the Marina Point development in the city of Richmond and Contra Costa County \nYerba Buena SX80: boom. \nYerba Buena SX80: little Eager. Okay. The proposed project is located at the terminus of Marina Way\, south in Richmond’s Marina Bay and South Shoreline. \nYerba Buena SX80: It’s located between Marina Way south\, a school in a park to the East and the National Park Service\, Rosie\, the Riveter Historical Park. To the west. \nYerba Buena SX80: to the north the site is bordered by industrial development\, and to the south the bay trail. On the bay side of the trail is the Ford Channel\, which connects both to Richmond’s inner harbor and to Marina Bay. \nYerba Buena SX80: The site is highlighted in several local plans as an asset due to its location along the Bay trail proximity to open space and waterfront amenities. \nYerba Buena SX80: This includes the Richmond Ferry terminal and transit connecting Inner Richmond to the waterfront. We’ll detail this more in the planning context. \nYerba Buena SX80: Here are some local context for parks and public access along the shoreline. The open space areas are shown in yellow dashed lines with the existing bay trail alignment in green and the site of the future Richmond Wellness trail in red dashed lines. \nYerba Buena SX80: The Bay trail serves as a connection from the Richmond Ferry terminal along the coastline\, through neighborhoods down toward El Cerrito\, Albany\, and Berkeley. \nYerba Buena SX80: In addition to features mentioned in the previous slide\, there’s also a complex to the West that includes the historic Ford Assembly Building and Craneway Pavilion\, Events center and the assemble kitchen restaurant immediately adjacent to the eastern border of the site is Lucretia Edwards Park\, Benito Juarez\, elementary school\, and the future Richmond Wellness trail \nYerba Buena SX80: just for a little bit of historic background. In 1941 the Kaiser Richmond shipyards transformed the south shoreline\, including the project site into one of the West Coast\, most vital wartime industrial centers during World War Ii. The Kaiser shipyards constructed more ships for the armed forces than any other American shipyard\, and this is just an aerial. \nYerba Buena SX80: but the project site well\, you can’t see my arrow. \nYerba Buena SX80: all right. So now\, on to site conditions\, the site is about 4.9 2 acres in size\, and has remained undeveloped since the 19 eighties. It is surrounded by a chain link fence fence with overgrown fennel and other vegetation\, and there is no public access currently on the site itself. \nYerba Buena SX80: I conducted a site visit via Bike a few weeks ago and stopped to take photos\, most of which are from this visit. \nYerba Buena SX80: These photos features\, feature views from the east and west of the site along Great Bay trail frontage which runs along the southern portion of the site. \nYerba Buena SX80: And now a closer look. \nYerba Buena SX80: These are photos of the southern edge of the site. The 1st photo is from a prior visit a few years back\, and the second photo shows the same area from my bike ride or from my site visit with more overgrown vegetation. You can see here again that the shoreline has subgrade seawall dike armored with large stone riprap. \nYerba Buena SX80: Marina way South runs along the eastern edge of the site. These are views as you approach the bay. This is where the previously mentioned Richmond Wellness Trail is located. \nYerba Buena SX80: This trail is a proposed 4 mile bicycle and pedestrian corridor that will run from downtown Richmond to the Bay. \nYerba Buena SX80: It is not part of this development\, and is funded through a partnership with the city of Richmond\, and trust for public lands\, parks for people. \nYerba Buena SX80: Again. Here’s a closer look with a view of Brooks Island. \nYerba Buena SX80: and here’s another view west from the eastern side of Marina Bay \nYerba Buena SX80: towards the site from Vincent Park. So you can bike all the way around towards the site. \nYerba Buena SX80: All right. Now for planning context. \nYerba Buena SX80: this is the land use and planning map from Richmond’s general plan adopted in 2012. I’d like to focus in on the Marina Bay area so that we can see how the city and constituents have conceived of this site. \nYerba Buena SX80: Here you’ll see. The site is designated with deep\, with a deep red\, indicating the desire for it to be a major activity center or high intensity mixed use. \nYerba Buena SX80: The plan defines this as an area prime for mixed use and higher density development. In addition to streets with wide sidewalks and public spaces that are welcoming to pedestrians and transit riders. \nYerba Buena SX80: The general plan further emphasizes major activity. Centers should have generously landscape setbacks to enhance visual and physical connections to the waterfront\, and should include the integration of water or transit oriented development principles. \nYerba Buena SX80: The Richmond Bay specific plan was adopted in 2016. So 4 years later\, and it provides a stakeholder driven framework for development along a 320 acre portion of Richmond bay. \nYerba Buena SX80: and that’s the dashed red bit. The specific plan does not include the site itself\, but it did identify the site and water frontage as an asset in the planning process. \nYerba Buena SX80: The site is also identified as one of several potential complete neighborhoods in which local nodes of activity and amenities\, such as transit\, are located close together. \nYerba Buena SX80: Marina way south on the eastern edge of the proposed development\, is also identified as a key transit corridor and connection to the waterfront for Richmond residents and visitors. \nYerba Buena SX80: So here’s what the community vulnerability mapping tool demonstrates us about the area relative to the broader community of Richmond. The site is in a census block group that’s identified as having low social vulnerability and lower contamination vulnerability with only high percentiles for the following indicators disabled and very low income residents. \nYerba Buena SX80: We’d like to note that the surrounding the immediate census block there are areas identified as having highest social vulnerability and highest contamination vulnerability. \nYerba Buena SX80: We’ve included more census blocks in context\, because this is not only attraction and important waterfront site identified by Richmond planning documents\, it’s also highly used by the city’s residents for work and pleasure\, many of whom who live in more vulnerable communities. \nYerba Buena SX80: Regarding potential sea level rise. This map shows what 24 inches of sea level rise on top of mean\, high\, high water would look like if the site remain unchanged. \nYerba Buena SX80: using the ocean Protection council\, sea level rise guidance. 24 inches of sea level rise is equivalent to a king tide at mid-century under the intermediate high scenario. \nYerba Buena SX80: This map shows what 66 inches of sea level rise on top of mean higher high water would look like at the site if it was unchanged\, which is anticipated to occur at roughly 2\,100 for the intermediate high scenario. \nYerba Buena SX80: This also corresponds to the 100 year storm condition at 27 d. \nYerba Buena SX80: In this scenario the frontage would be flooded with overtopping\, occurring at the southeastern corner of the site. \nYerba Buena SX80: I want to point out the overtopping along the bay trail and public access to the east and west and potential impacts to public access\, making the site an important one for future public access in this area. \nYerba Buena SX80: I should also note that the Fema flood insurance map indicated this area zone be meaning. There are significant waves at the shoreline of the site\, and it will be exposed to that during wind events or storms. \nYerba Buena SX80: So before we introduce the project proponents\, I’d like to quickly summarize the questions in the staff. Report that we’d like the Board to consider in your review. First\, st please consider how the project meets the public access objectives provided in Bcdc’s public access design guidelines. \nYerba Buena SX80: Then Staff has identified some specific questions. We’d like to ask the board about the design at this stage. These are\, does the project enhance. \nYerba Buena SX80: project\, design\, enhance the user’s access to and experience of the shoreline? What other opportunities are there to build connections or further improve existing public access as part of this project? \nYerba Buena SX80: 2. \nYerba Buena SX80: Does the project as designed\, provide sufficient capacity for future adaptation strategies. What can be incorporated into the design to facilitate shoreline change in the future? \nYerba Buena SX80: 3. Do the landscaping and fitness program along the eastern edge that Marina way south edge of the development. Read as a public connection to the shoreline. And what design recommendations can you provide to encourage public use for these areas? \nYerba Buena SX80: And 4. Does the Board have recommendations on the proposed plant and material palettes? \nYerba Buena SX80: All right. \nYerba Buena SX80: Now we’ll open it up to. \nYerba Buena SX80: I wanna see if there’s any clarifying questions from the board. Wait anything \nYerba Buena SX80: on on the staff presentation. Yes. \nYerba Buena SX80: Just put this across to the board here for clarifying questions\, Bob. Go ahead. \nYerba Buena SX80: Hey? Thanks for that presentation. I noticed that. The applicant is\, I think they’re using 3 feet of sea level rise for their criteria. \nYerba Buena SX80: How do you know how that was determined? Or was that something that is \nYerba Buena SX80: It’s not a Bcdc policy\, necessarily\, is it? Or just what they’re proposing? That might be a better question for the applicant that answers my question. Thank you. \nYerba Buena SX80: Okay\, any other questions on the staff report? \nYerba Buena SX80: Yeah. \nYerba Buena SX80: Yeah. I mean\, I I note in one of the submissions public comment submissions there is some description of the 100 foot shoreline band and guidance on that. But \nYerba Buena SX80: could one of the staff\, just for for the benefit of everyone attending the meeting? \nYerba Buena SX80: for the board and and everyone else? Could someone just summarize what the key \nYerba Buena SX80: guidances associated or definitive requirements associated with the 100 foot shoreline band. \nYerba Buena SX80: So within the 100 foot shoreline band\, probably the key thing to keep in mind is that the Commission can only deny a project application based on a finding that it doesn’t provide maximum\, feasible public access consistent with the project. \nYerba Buena SX80: And that’s maximum feasible public access to the bay and shoreline. So otherwise. You know\, the Bay plan does contain like a large selection of policies related to like what makes public access. And so those things. \nYerba Buena SX80: or or maybe what we would look at in terms of it’s it’s a little bit more discretionary. There’s not like a little bit of a hard and fast. \nYerba Buena SX80: you know\, what can be approved\, what can be denied in the shoreline band? \nYerba Buena SX80: So in some cases\, you know\, we do see like structures. We see parks. We see various things\, but it’s all sort of has to be consistent with \nYerba Buena SX80: the the site context. Yeah. And I mean just to \nYerba Buena SX80: add to what you’re saying. The original designation of the 100 feet was put in place so that there would be additional scrutiny on that area right because of the sensitivity\, vulnerability from an access standpoint and \nYerba Buena SX80: and other considerations visual and so on\, that we have to take into account exactly. And in addition\, I think I did leave out. So if it is in some sort of a priority use area. That is another basis on which the Commission can consider whether to approve or deny an application. Right? \nYerba Buena SX80: Thank you. That’s very helpful. \nYerba Buena SX80: Go ahead\, Gary. One other thing. Do you have? Can you give us a quick summary of the Permit history \nYerba Buena SX80: in terms of what previous permits have been approved\, and by by who? Because I understand it’s been through the city a few times. \nYerba Buena SX80: Yeah\, so I can start with like a broader overview. And then maybe we’ll call upon my colleagues. \nYerba Buena SX80: so this this specific site itself doesn’t have like an individual permit on it. But in 1989 is the is when the original permit was issued for the overall development of Marina Bay\, so that whole like master planned area and this site wasn’t part of \nYerba Buena SX80: part of that initially. And so in that initial initial permit\, there was lots of housing and kind of redevelopment things\, and then certain public access requirements. And it’s gone through about 6 amendment iterations\, most recent of which was in 1999\, \nYerba Buena SX80: I believe. \nYerba Buena SX80: Oh\, just kidding 2\,008 and \nYerba Buena SX80: What we know like during that process\, that some of the things that were permitted was that bay trail frontage lots of the public access in and around that area\, including that Lucretia Edwards Park\, and that in that 2\,008 permit. \nYerba Buena SX80: There was a an office building that was permitted for this particular site. But for whatever reason\, we don’t really have all of the details\, it didn’t go through\, or nothing was developed there. \nYerba Buena SX80: And so it’s it’s remained undeveloped. But I don’t know if you want to add anything else. \nYerba Buena SX80: Yeah\, just a follow up question on that. Who is the current owner of the site. \nYerba Buena SX80: You guys are the owner capital? \nYerba Buena SX80: Yeah. And was it\, was it? I mean. \nYerba Buena SX80: I presume it was part of the Ford factory. \nYerba Buena SX80: Land area. Yeah\, at some point some of it was owned by the Richmond Redevelopment Agency. And then so there was a Co. Permitee on this. It was Richmond redevelopment. And then another developer who was on this site prior. And now it’s guardian capital which Glenn is part of. Yeah. But I think I read that the city is not associated with this proposal. No\, yeah\, yeah\, thank you. \nYerba Buena SX80: Yes. \nYerba Buena SX80: Do any of you recall what happened with the 5 0 5 East Bayshore Project. \nYerba Buena SX80: where there were townhomes in the shoreline band. \nYerba Buena SX80: Yeah. So that was approved by the commission. This past June\, I believe. So that site was a I think it was a 2 point something 2.3 2.5 acre site in the South Bay\, \nYerba Buena SX80: Redwood City and it did provide a. \nYerba Buena SX80: It wasn’t part of the bay trail. There was a shoreline trail and some shoreline protection in behind the townhomes\, and also some other public access improvements along the roadway frontage. \nYerba Buena SX80: So yeah\, so that \nYerba Buena SX80: that end up being approved. And that was\, I’m gonna completely tax your memory if you can remember this. \nYerba Buena SX80: but we saw that in \nYerba Buena SX80: we saw that in August \nYerba Buena SX80: of 2021 is when I have. Is that the last time we saw it. I believe so. And so. The last version was the one that was approved. It may have changed slightly from the last time that it came to the board. \nYerba Buena SX80: It’s funny I don’t know if anybody here was working on it. Maybe Yuri was. But no\, not at that point\, but\, like in the longer history of that project\, there was actually some reconfiguration of the original project in order to accommodate some more of that public access and like the drawing protection. And so that was a part of the design process that came out \nYerba Buena SX80: like discussions with\, I think\, the Drb. And Nbcdc\, okay\, thank you. \nYerba Buena SX80: So so was this site designated as residential\, or is it? It doesn’t have any land use designation at all. \nYerba Buena SX80: You mean through the the city of Richmond general plan\, or in what? Yeah\, through the previous planning process. \nYerba Buena SX80: So it does. So the land use designations. I don’t know if you want to go back to the general plan. \nYerba Buena SX80: yeah. So I think the the designation that they put on it was this high intensity\, mixed use activity center\, right? And but that’s not this \nYerba Buena SX80: parcel\, just this entire area. No\, no\, it’s that parcel\, or it’s the yeah. It’s that red zone \nYerba Buena SX80: like the overall. So just from like I don’t know if you actually want to respond to this. But \nYerba Buena SX80: those those red bars that we’re seeing. Yeah. So if you. If you look the deep\, the the deep\, dark red\, and I put a circle around it\, and if you look over to activity centers\, it has \nYerba Buena SX80: high intensity\, mixed use\, major activity center. And there’s quite a bit of big detail in the in the general plan about what that means and sort of design recommendations\, urban form\, that kind of thing. Yeah. And then the zone. The local zoning is consistent with this designation. Yeah. \nYerba Buena SX80: like. So on the individual parcel basis. \nYerba Buena SX80: And is there any height limit restrictions in this area? \nYerba Buena SX80: Yes. \nYerba Buena SX80: Oh\, yeah\, I don’t know. \nYerba Buena SX80: 25. \nYerba Buena SX80: So just to clarify. I board Member Pellegrini just said\, 125 feet is the height in the general plan defined in the general plan. Yeah\, okay. \nYerba Buena SX80: don’t quote me on that. Well\, let’s make that a working. We’ll make that a working assumption\, for now we can take a quick look while you’re yeah\, I think. Okay. \nYerba Buena SX80: yes\, Tom\, go ahead. \nYerba Buena SX80: Excuse me\, I live in Richmond\, and I recall that there was a previous single family home plan for this site \nYerba Buena SX80: which went through various processes and eventually went to a ballot measure. \nYerba Buena SX80: And I don’t know what happened after that. \nYerba Buena SX80: This is one of those questions where it will require more. Follow up. But yeah\, I did find an email exchanges of past Pcdc members that it did go to a ballot measure. And I don’t think that the project ultimately moved forward with the planning commission. But I’ll have to follow up on that. Yeah\, yeah. So yeah\, there’s interesting back and forth. I mean\, I think that was about 2016. Is that correct? \nYerba Buena SX80: Yeah\, that’s about right. Yeah\, yeah. \nYerba Buena SX80: yeah. I mean\, I recall that as well\, Tom. But \nYerba Buena SX80: yeah\, well\, anyway\, we can always get more precise feedback on the as needed. Yup. \nYerba Buena SX80: Okay\, thank you. Well\, I think that \nYerba Buena SX80: concludes the clarifying question. So we’ll go to the proponent presentation. Now\, thank you. \nYerba Buena SX80: Sure. \nYerba Buena SX80: This work. Hi\, I’m Brian Winter. I’m the land use attorney on behalf of the applicant\, and I thought before the design team talks about the details of the project. I might address a couple of the contextual legal questions that have already come up. So just just very briefly\, Staff\, and appreciate Staff’s sorry the presentation first\, st rather than because I think this might help \nYerba Buena SX80: assist the presentation contextually. But it’s up to you. \nYerba Buena SX80: Let’s have the developer introduce the project\, and then you can speak to any context that you’ll provide. \nYerba Buena SX80: Yeah\, it would be helpful to have the team introduced here as well\, and Speaker introduced. Thank you. Sounds good. Hi. My name is Marcia Vallier. I’m a landscape architect with Csw. St. 2. I merged with that firm about 2 years ago. I also have been a Richmond resident since 1990\, and I’ve worked a lot on the Richmond waterfront and within Richmond proper. I’d like to introduce our developer. \nYerba Buena SX80: Do you want to say? Say hello? It’s Glenn Powells\, and this is our land use Attorney \nYerba Buena SX80: Brian Winter\, Brian Winter with Mother Star. We go. Yeah\, thank you. And I’m Mike Beeder\, the civil engineer with Csw. Stuber Stro as well. \nYerba Buena SX80: Oh\, my gosh. \nYerba Buena SX80: I’m David Burden\, an associate principal with Ktgy\, and we’re the architects for the project. Okay\, thank you. \nYerba Buena SX80: So what I’d like to do is\, I’ll go very quickly through our presentation. It mirrors very much what Lisa has presented. So this project? It’s a little bit of a delay. Sorry this project is an infill project proposed for the 4.9 2 acre site\, which was part of the Kaiser Richmond shipyards during World War 2. \nYerba Buena SX80: And we’re looking at putting 70 small lot \nYerba Buena SX80: single family homes\, 10% would be offered at affordable sales prices\, and we will have 30 adu units on the 1st floor. And that’s all part of the inclusionary housing land use laws. The location is in Richmond of Carson and Lisa did a great job showing you where all of that is. So. \nYerba Buena SX80: Wow! Sorry. The delay is \nYerba Buena SX80: a little crazy. So in the Marina Bay area you can see the the texture of the neighborhood. You’ve got single family residential\, detached along the Base\, Sunset Point and Bayfront over to the right. And then\, as you go to the top of the photograph\, you have \nYerba Buena SX80: condominiums all along the edge. 2 and 3 story condominiums. And as you go around there’s vacant parcels and commercial properties there. So we have the Marina Point project that is in green with the big \nYerba Buena SX80: Arrow going down to it. So this is what the neighborhood looks like\, and you can see over the bottom left hand corner. That is Sunset point\, and that’s the single family detached units\, and they’re about 10 feet apart\, and they’re single family small backyards. And then\, as you look towards San Francisco\, you can see that there is a lot of park space. And then also on that Sunset Point\, you can see how the frontage \nYerba Buena SX80: is the bay trail in Marina Bay. We call it the Esplanade\, and it’s a 12 foot wide bay trail that is lit and has different nodes along the the edge of the bay\, and it links a number of parks together\, and we’re also we also link to the Richmond Ferry. \nYerba Buena SX80: So the aesthetic that we were looking to go and to use\, for this project is kind of a mix of industrial coastal. And so\, you know\, since this was the shipyards\, we wanted to have some of the concrete\, more coastal landscape\, and really make sure that we brought home and linked into the Rosie the Riveter World War\, 2 Home \nYerba Buena SX80: Front National monument. And so we’ve been working with them. And I’ve been working with Donna Graves for a number of years on a lot of the interpretation in that area. \nYerba Buena SX80: The public art will be linked as well\, and I’ll illuminate that a little bit more. The top left hand is at the ferry. We’ve got those reeds in the ferry\, and then the entire perimeter of the esplanade has these shiphole interpretive signs that are dotted along the top one right in the middle. That’s Lucretia Edwards\, shoreline Parks. \nYerba Buena SX80: That’s a park that I went to Bcdc. On about 25 years ago for that park\, and that is to tell the Bay Area’s contribution to the war effort\, and those Axial walls Point and to different shipyards\, and those are boot prints from Brockton Shoe Museum \nYerba Buena SX80: in Massachusetts. So you can stand in real boot prints that also links to the Cheryl Barton and Susan Schwarzenberg\, the Rosie\, the Riveter Monument\, and there are a number of other Shimada Park. There’s so so this whole area is really linked. And so we wanted to make sure our shoreline treatment linked to all the interpretation that exists and makes that that trail very rich. So this is the \nYerba Buena SX80: the plan itself. You can see that Lucretia Edwards is down in the bottom here\, where my little hand is\, and then the blue line is the Bcdc 100 foot line\, and then the red line is semi-private right along the faces of the homes\, but the rest is public access all along the frontage. \nYerba Buena SX80: The other connection that we’ve made is to the Richmond Wellness Trail. That is a it is \nYerba Buena SX80: It is work. Trust Republic lands is working on that. But there’s a project called Richmond Rising. They got a 30 million dollars grant to do different projects. And so this portion of the Wellness trail is being completed with those funds\, with the Trust for public lands. And so the frontage along the eastern side of the project links to that\, and it excuse me and addresses that\, and we try and and create nodes for wellness along that edge. \nYerba Buena SX80: The \nYerba Buena SX80: so. So this is the view along the esplanade looking towards the Ford building. That’s a historic Ford building\, and then over to the right\, at the end of where the housing is. That’s the National home. That’s the Rosie\, the Riveter National Park \nYerba Buena SX80: Space. And. \nYerba Buena SX80: let’s see. Sorry. And then this is a view from Lucretia Edwards Shoreline Park. Out to the bay\, and to the right is the the area that we’re developing that is a fitness node along the terminus of the Wellness trail as it meets the bay trail. \nYerba Buena SX80: the and again along the frontage. We are trying to make sure that we have an enlarged sort of coastal shoreline landscape along the edge to buffer the homes and to create this this more open space. Feeling along the edge of the housing. If you drive down Marina way south. You see\, there’s\, you know\, a lot of stuff that’s just right\, either parking lots or not a lot of stuff along the along that frontage. So we’ve tried to bring that \nYerba Buena SX80: landscape and that that kind of buffer along that edge. This is a view from Lucretia Edwards Shoreline Park\, and so you can see the context of the homes. They’re not any taller than the \nYerba Buena SX80: then the Ford building from this view. \nYerba Buena SX80: and then this is a view from Vincent Park. Now Edwards and the Vincents were very\, very instrumental in developing the shoreline access within the city of Richmond. They used to have their little handbags\, and they would go from place to place to try and make sure that there was shoreline. And so now the city of Richmond has 36 miles of shoreline because of those ladies. \nYerba Buena SX80: and this is the elevation along the front from the San Francisco Bay. \nYerba Buena SX80: So these are the elevations to show you the sea level rise\, the esplanade or the bay trail\, which is right here\, is at Elevation 13 to 15\, and we’re putting a plaza space. I think it’s going to be at around 15 at that elevation. And we’re doing stairs that go up and creating an amphitheater type space \nYerba Buena SX80: right at the center access to the to the project. You can see there’s a kind of a paseo right down the center and a little roadway down the center\, so that the residents can funnel down that walkway or down through the paseos to the Wellness trail into the Hub. The the thing that we really wanted to do is sorry. \nYerba Buena SX80: I’m sorry about my little okay\, and and again\, this is the the view we wanted to create a plaza space\, because the when we spoke with Kaylin Berry from the National Park Service. They don’t have a lot of exterior space where they can do lectures or or different things like that. And this is an easy walk\, you know\, a couple 100 feet from the the \nYerba Buena SX80: the National Park Monument space right here. And so we’re going to be working with Donna Graves\, who has was instrumental in working on getting the Rosie the Riveter project going forward with the National Park Service\, and she’s going. She’s also written \nYerba Buena SX80: a guide with the National Park Service on Resilience and Climate change. And so this will be her 1st project using those national Park standards and doing interpretation in this particular node. \nYerba Buena SX80: The. And this is the kind of the look of all the different pieces the the project area does have remnant walls from the old Kaiser shipyards. And so that’s why we have these concrete walls here and there\, kind of creating where these old foundations were. And we’ve created this kind of carved out\, this wave of a plaza space that is going to be set in permeable pavers \nYerba Buena SX80: and have seat walls and interpretation in and around the ground plane and then on panels\, and we will be going with to the Richmond Arts and Culture Commission to go through the process of developing the public art\, and when that happens it goes all the way full to this full city of Richmond\, goes through the Design review goes to the Arts and Culture Commission\, the Public Art Advisory Committee National Park Service. So there’s a lot of involvement in the interpretation that we’re going to be doing \nYerba Buena SX80: the \nYerba Buena SX80: The let’s see. Go to the next slide. Then down on the end of the project area. There’s a trail as the trail goes through. You can see we’ve got sort of a gently sloped landscape area. What happens in Richmond on the 3rd of July\, because it’s less expensive than the 4th of July. The city has fireworks\, and so everybody in the city comes down and sits along the shoreline. And so \nYerba Buena SX80: these little\, these sloped areas with these grassy areas and the seat walls and these remnant walls will be wonderful places for people to watch the fireworks. \nYerba Buena SX80: Lucretia Edwards Shoreline Park gets full of people. It’s it’s a really nice space for that. And then at the end \nYerba Buena SX80: right where the the terminus Marina way south\, at the terminus of the Wellness Trail. We’ve created a fitness hub and picnic area. We’ve taken cues from the \nYerba Buena SX80: all the site furnishings that are in the Marina Bay neighborhood as well as in Lucretia Edwards Shoreline Park next door\, and use some concrete tables because they do hold up a lot more on the shoreline. And so we’re going to be using those we’ve got bike racks\, tire changers\, drinking fountains with a bottle filler. \nYerba Buena SX80: and then fitness equipment in the top corner. Here you can see the the drainage area and the bioretention spaces where we want to use those as spaces for children or people to walk through and to jump from rock to rock\, and and so you know\, creating informal play all along that that frontage along the east and the south frontage\, and then it becomes a little bit more \nYerba Buena SX80: formalized with this robinia compan product\, that and the robinia is a type of wood that holds up very well in this environment. And so that’s the the major fitness. Hub that. And \nYerba Buena SX80: let’s see\, is there anything else? There’s also some interpretation that we’d like to bring down to this edge as well. This is the the view from \nYerba Buena SX80: the axial walkways that go down into the the park and into the edge of the development. So it feels to me it feels very public. \nYerba Buena SX80: And with that I’m going to stop the share on that \nYerba Buena SX80: And Brian\, would you like to explain the land use a little bit \nYerba Buena SX80: is now an appropriate time. Okay\, okay\, thank you. Brian. Winter again\, just a couple of points. I wanted to make. That\, I would hope would help the Commission understand the legal context for for this project. \nYerba Buena SX80: with respect to the city and with respect to the Commission\, one of which is that the project is being processed pursuant to several different State Housing laws\, namely\, Senate Bill 330\, and the Housing Accountability Act. \nYerba Buena SX80: the Housing Accountability Act being\, in my view\, the most important housing production law that we have in California\, and among many\, and it describes in detail the Legislature describes in detail its concerns with respect to the housing supply shortage that we have in California\, and how it’s \nYerba Buena SX80: it’s existed and grown for decades\, and how this statute is meant to solve that\, and among other things\, it expresses the statewide housing policy that projects should be afforded the fullest possible agencies. Processing projects should give the fullest possible weight to the interest and provision of housing. \nYerba Buena SX80: This project\, as staff accurately described\, is in the city’s high intensity. Mixed use\, land use\, designation and zoning. The land use designation is one that allows densities of of up to up to right anything less than 125 units an acre up to 125 units per acre. \nYerba Buena SX80: And as the project’s been proposed with the city\, it’s been\, it’s been deemed complete under the Permit Streamlining Act\, and it’s also been deemed consistent with the city’s land use regulations. All of the city’s land use regulations \nYerba Buena SX80: under the Housing Accountability Act. I can talk about that in detail if the Commission has any\, or if the Board sorry if the Board has any interest\, but it’s it’s been deemed consistent. As a matter of law with the city’s land use regulations. I don’t know about the prior project that was subject to a ballot referendum. But ballot referendums can only sorry a citizens. Referendum can only be filed on a project that is seeking a needs\, discretionary legislative \nYerba Buena SX80: land use approvals\, things like general plan amendments\, specific plans and rezonings. It doesn’t. You cannot file a referendum petition with projects that need non legislative approvals like this project. This project only requires non legislative approvals\, so there’s no possibility of a ballot referendum for this project. I don’t know about any prior project\, but this is a project that does not require\, because it’s deemed consistent. It does not require a general plan\, amendment\, a specific plan\, or \nYerba Buena SX80: or a rezoning. I’m happy to answer any other questions about any of that. But I just thought it would be helpful to understand that specific legal context. Yeah\, well\, I appreciate that. And you also submitted a letter where you detailed a lot of this. So you’ve repeated a lot of that for us. So thank you. But \nYerba Buena SX80: you know\, just to be clear for the board the purpose of the board\, and all the other groups that are going to be reviewing this \nYerba Buena SX80: we don’t start by saying\, this is a slam dunk. So let’s just give it\, you know\, approval. It comes across a bit like that. But so I know what the \nYerba Buena SX80: purpose of what you’re communicating is about. But let’s make sure that the processes that are defined in\, you know. \nYerba Buena SX80: Well regarded planning processes have the opportunity to proceed absolutely. I only wanted to speak to it because it came up in the beginning\, and I just thought it would be helpful to understand that context. But that’s the. And it’s it’s a useful context. So thank you very much. You’re welcome. Good \nYerba Buena SX80: and then to end. What I wanted to say is\, there are some. There are 5 metrics that we tried to meet. One was public access. \nYerba Buena SX80: and this is\, you know\, looking at what your purview is public access. So we’ve got the 12 foot esplanade and created 22% open space within the project area for public. One thing I forgot to mention is\, there’s a parallel walkway that’s up at Elevation 17 that goes to the cul-de-sac. So during sea level rise\, or if there’s any issues \nYerba Buena SX80: that will continue to be an open pathway for access along the shoreline. So we have something\, a little higher amenities. We have provided multiple amenities. We did see the abag comments we do provide a majority. Except for an 18 foot wide path. We have everything else that was asked for resilience. Again\, we do have that upper path. \nYerba Buena SX80: longevity\, the materials and the plant materials\, and the different site furnishings that we’ve proposed. We feel have a lot of longevity\, and having worked in Richmond for 35 years\, I kind of know what’s going to work\, and I know\, Gary\, you do\, too. And then\, as far as maintenance. This project will be maintained by the developer\, the public area will be maintained by the developer\, so it will not be a burden to the city of Richmond. With that I’d like to thank you \nYerba Buena SX80: and finish my presentation. Yeah\, thank you. Thank you\, Marcia. \nYerba Buena SX80: Okay\, at this point we’ll move to public comment. \nYerba Buena SX80: All clarifying questions. Maybe we’ll go to clarifying questions first\, st just to keep this in our usual sequence. \nYerba Buena SX80: So for the Board any clarifying questions\, Bob\, we’ll start with you. Thank you. \nYerba Buena SX80: Thank you. Chair. I’ll try to be quick\, because I know we try to be quick on these things. But did you all consider water access like they have over at Vincent Park and what I used to call the Richmond Peninsula? That sounds like it has a different. I actually worked on that project a long time ago with Rhaa. But you know there’s some fishing steps and beaches. \nYerba Buena SX80: Did you consider that \nYerba Buena SX80: we did not consider that because Lucretia Edwards shoreline parks has a huge huge that that big stairway that comes down it has use or area\, for I think it’s like 50 feet wide\, and then then right on the the corner\, that whole thing has shoreline steps down. So we have. We have 3 areas that have public access within like \nYerba Buena SX80: couple 100 feet. And so we did not \nYerba Buena SX80: look at doing an additional step. \nYerba Buena SX80: Okay? And and so that access is \nYerba Buena SX80: just steps. It’s not like you can’t necessarily get in the water. You can. Yeah\, we used to kayak off of those stairs\, so you just ported. Thank you. That’s good. That’s that’s helpful. Why\, only 3 feet of sea level rise. \nYerba Buena SX80: And I say\, only because typically we say 3 feet minimum. \nYerba Buena SX80: That kind of goes back to mid century. Of course we’re already \nYerba Buena SX80: getting close to that\, and then 6 to 7 feet towards the end of the \nYerba Buena SX80: century. So if you’re only going with 3 feet\, it’s going to be difficult to adapt \nYerba Buena SX80: another 3 to we. Yeah\, we took it from projection from Noaa and the Ipcc the intergovernmental Panel for climate change and taking their considerations for environmental changes and local impacts. So it can be something that we could look into. And \nYerba Buena SX80: yeah\, okay\, thank you for that. I just want to point out that the \nYerba Buena SX80: the 3 feet is is the. \nYerba Buena SX80: I think\, the intermediate curve. Correct. So you don’t have much safety factor there\, and you also\, as the staff pointed out\, this is a V zone \nYerba Buena SX80: which means you have a high velocity wave action which \nYerba Buena SX80: requires a special foundation. If and when the building is in that zone in the future has to be on \nYerba Buena SX80: pile supports and needs a foot of free board\, etc. So \nYerba Buena SX80: Well\, I’ll talk about this later. But I’m a little concerned about the future exposure here. \nYerba Buena SX80: How much settlement is anticipated after development. I see there’s some fill to be placed. \nYerba Buena SX80: I understand from one of the comment letters that the area was surcharged to consolidate underlying fill. \nYerba Buena SX80: But if you add\, fill\, you’re going to probably consolidate the prior fill and or the subgrade further. Yes\, the intent is to surcharge the site for 6 to 12 months. So then\, after this\, then\, we will remove the surcharge material and then build the building\, so there won’t be any future. So so the finished grade on your sections is your finished grade \nYerba Buena SX80: concluding any settlement? \nYerba Buena SX80: What? \nYerba Buena SX80: Yes\, after after settlement\, that’ll be our okay great. Thank you very much. That’s important. Why encroach into the shoreline band? \nYerba Buena SX80: I’m not trying to be smart there\, but I’m just kind of wondering if that is necessary\, because I’m a little concerned about that where you have a shoreline that seems kind of compressed in a V zone\, and you’re only designing for 3 feet of sea level rise. Why encroach into Bcdc. Shoreline band\, where it might be an opportunity to set back? \nYerba Buena SX80: I believe. Our team was trying to maximize the number of units within the the overall development. We were trying to get 100 units within that development and to and to do that with this product type a 3 story product type. That’s that’s how it laid out with roadways and Paseo’s and parking. And okay\, I kind of thought that was the case. But. \nYerba Buena SX80: The tide levels in your present in your exhibits are a little off. I was looking at the Richmond Peninsula. You might just want to look at that. And and I’ll have more to say about that. But\, \nYerba Buena SX80: it’s it’s what you presented. Wasn’t that far off of what you can get online. \nYerba Buena SX80: But those are from the \nYerba Buena SX80: the epic 83 to 2\,001 which is going to be updated. So it’s like over 20 years old. So you can just expect that the sea levels now are actually a couple of tenths of a foot higher. \nYerba Buena SX80: And then\, when those new title datum \nYerba Buena SX80: are released by Noaa. You’ll see that. So you probably just want to think about that. Get a coastal engineer or somebody to help you with that? Absolutely. Okay. Those are all my questions. Thank you. \nYerba Buena SX80: Okay\, thank you. Other clarifying questions\, Tom. \nYerba Buena SX80: Go ahead. Thanks. \nYerba Buena SX80: I’m confused on on something here in the letters that we’ve received. \nYerba Buena SX80: we have a letter from sorry. \nYerba Buena SX80: Miller Star regalia\, and it talks about \nYerba Buena SX80: the pro the land use application \nYerba Buena SX80: and that it’s been deemed complete under the permit. Streaming \nYerba Buena SX80: act\, etc. And that is consistent with cities. \nYerba Buena SX80: land use\, regulations\, etc. So it makes it sound like everything’s going great. \nYerba Buena SX80: Then we received another letter that said that there had been no response from the city \nYerba Buena SX80: to the application\, and it probably is kind of this is ha! If it’s happened\, it’s happened by default. \nYerba Buena SX80: because there was\, there is no position \nYerba Buena SX80: from the city. So my question is\, what? What is the the actual legal status in that regard? And has there been \nYerba Buena SX80: contact with the city? Is there a level of buy-in and and discussion going on with the city. \nYerba Buena SX80: We’ve been in regular contact with the city we’ve met with City before filing any applications. We’ve reached out and communicated with the city at various points. The city has \nYerba Buena SX80: largely\, in my view\, gone dark on us\, but the legal status of the project with respect to the city is exactly\, as I explained briefly\, the Permit streamlining act which has been on the deck\, on the statutes for decades provides that when you file a development application. An agency has 30 days to respond to that application and to determine\, based on its checklist whether the application is complete or not. \nYerba Buena SX80: If they don’t provide such a determination. The application is deemed complete as a matter of law\, and the Housing Accountability Act under recent changes. That I was involved in several years ago has a provision. That’s a similar provision that says that a project like this\, that’s 150 units or less. \nYerba Buena SX80: Once the application is deemed complete. The agency has 30 days to determine. This is in government Code section 6\, 5\, 5\, 8 9.5 J. 2 has 30 days to determine whether the application is consistent with its land use regulations\, and if they believe the application is not consistent\, they need to provide a letter to the applicant citing the provisions that they believe that are at issue\, and explaining why they believe the application is not \nYerba Buena SX80: consistent. And if an agency does not do that. Then you’re deemed consistent as a matter of law. That also happened in Richmond. So that is why these. That’s why it came up earlier\, and that’s why I brought up those 2 significant legal factors. That’s \nYerba Buena SX80: sets the stage for for the for the project. \nYerba Buena SX80: just a follow up. What is the plan going forward with city then. And it’s done via board and all that\, because you’re doing a concurrent process right? Bcdc and city\, yeah\, we’ve also filed Ceqa documentation with the city that’s been prepared by one of the strong\, regular \nYerba Buena SX80: consultants that prepare sequel documentation. We provided that to the city as well. I believe we’ve actually just now gotten\, or the consultant has now just received comments on that documentation that we provided a number of months ago. We’re not privy to that information at this point. But environmental review\, as you know\, environmental SQL review can happen at eirs\, mitigating exemptions\, etc. \nYerba Buena SX80: We’ve provided environmental documentation\, and I believe the city has just provided feedback\, finally\, to the consultant. But we need to coordinate with the city and try to figure out what the process is going to be with respect to the city going forward in terms of its hearing process. \nYerba Buena SX80: Thanks. You’re welcome. \nYerba Buena SX80: Yeah. Kristen\, go ahead. So this is a this is a pud you’ve submitted\, or are you looking for? Is there any environmental clearances you need? Or do you anticipate any? This is no Pud is a form of rezoning. This project requires a subdivision map. \nYerba Buena SX80: It may require design review\, but those are the only city approvals that are needed for this project\, and even a non legislative approval cannot involve discretion as this one does. And as a result\, Ceqa is on the table for that reason. So again\, we’ve prepared our outside consultant has prepared documentation\, demonstrating that the project is eligible for the infill exemption under Ceqa\, as well as \nYerba Buena SX80: separately satisfying 2 other SQL. Streamlining provisions\, 1\, 5\, 1\, 6\, 8\, and 1\, 5\, 1\, 8\, 3 of the SQL. Guidelines\, which are for essentially for projects that are consistent with the density levels established in a \nYerba Buena SX80: a local planning document\, like a general plan for which an environmental documentation was prepared\, where the project will not have new \nYerba Buena SX80: significant impacts that weren’t already previously identified\, which which is true here. This project will not have more impacts than we’re already analyzed in the city’s sequel documents for its general planning. Ir. Thank you. Just reading between the lines on all of this. It’s my guess that folks in the area are looking for something more dense and maybe more mixed. Use \nYerba Buena SX80: and I’m making the assumption that you’re planning single family homes because those are \nYerba Buena SX80: probably what’s pencilling. Well\, in this economy\, where multifamily housing is not pencilling well\, is that that’s the kind of approach here. \nYerba Buena SX80: Yeah\, you have to have a project that makes financial sense\, and \nYerba Buena SX80: for better or worse. Unfortunately\, many times projects at higher densities are not financially feasible and won’t happen for decades. If ever. This is a site\, I believe other developers\, to my understanding\, have looked at this site as well. And if the obligation is to develop it. \nYerba Buena SX80: something near a hundred 25 units per acre. Nothing will happen. The site will sit vacant for decades. \nYerba Buena SX80: This\, this is what’s financially feasible. \nYerba Buena SX80: Okay. And then my last question is\, there was mention of the Marina way. Wellness trail is the is the way that’s being incorporated through the adjacent street\, or how is that kind of being incorporated into the what? What’s the vision for that trail? And then how is that being incorporated? \nYerba Buena SX80: Excuse me\, Mike is actually working with placeworks and the trust for public land on that\, so he can answer a little bit more in detail. But at this point it we’re looking at doing it on the road. However\, we’re kind of talking a little bit about maybe taking that off off street and and putting in a class one. Yeah\, is that what we’re doing? \nYerba Buena SX80: Yeah\, currently\, right now\, it’s just designed as a shared street at the end of Marina way\, south in front of our project\, because that’s what fits with the city and their budget. And then it connects into the bay trail as it continues down the end\, and the vision for the Marina way. Wellness trail is like a really safe multimodal path\, the ultimate vision. Correct? Yeah. All the way from nodes or something along it is that is that correct? Yeah. \nYerba Buena SX80: yeah\, there’s there’s a section of the Welles trail that has been installed. And so it has separated bikeways. And then\, as there’s a section that’s going to have that as well. But at this end they’re trying to maximize in the iron Triangle neighborhood\, the separated because the traffic numbers are really low at the end of the street. \nYerba Buena SX80: I think that was yeah. It’s a limit on space as well\, because there’s existing parking at the end of the terminal marina way south. So there’s no room to put in \nYerba Buena SX80: a protected bikeway. So that’s 1 of the design modifications to make it work. Okay\, thank you. Those are all my questions. Yeah\, I just want to confirm. So all the the homes on this site are for sale. Is that correct? Okay? And then there’s an affordable component to that. \nYerba Buena SX80: Okay\, I know you went through that quickly. Can you just tell us how that how that works \nYerba Buena SX80: below market rate. For sale units. \nYerba Buena SX80: Let’s see. So we have 10% would be the low income. I’m sorry. 30%\, 30 units. Sorry. \nYerba Buena SX80: it’s 10% and 30 30 adus. Is that correct? Yeah\, it’s 10% of the housing units. \nYerba Buena SX80: And to clarify that when I read that description\, it looked like it read as if \nYerba Buena SX80: the the adus it was 10% of the adus. But how does it split out between the larger homes and the adus. \nYerba Buena SX80: Sorry. Yeah. My apologies. It’s currently 10% \nYerba Buena SX80: of of the proposed home. So that would be 7 of the single family homes. And that is\, I believe that is a prerequisite of the city that we followed. \nYerba Buena SX80: Thank you. \nYerba Buena SX80: Okay. And then thank you. \nYerba Buena SX80: let’s see\, also was mentioned that it would be maintained by the developer. Is that the waterfront \nYerba Buena SX80: portion\, the frontage? Or is that the whole site? Or \nYerba Buena SX80: can you give me a detail on that\, as in past projects within the city of Richmond\, the Homeowners Association would take care of the area that is part of their property\, but it would be public access. \nYerba Buena SX80: So everything\, including the the Bay trail as well. The Bay trail itself has been\, is maintained by the city of Richmond\, the esplanade\, the concrete esplanade and the lighting. That’s part of a landscape and lighting district\, Marina Bay landscape and lighting district that takes care of that. And then I have one final question\, is it possible to pull up a Site plan? \nYerba Buena SX80: I was just curious. If if let’s say\, if you took one of the Northern units in the middle. And and you could just walk us through. How does that person get to the to the water? \nYerba Buena SX80: Yeah\, no worries. \nYerba Buena SX80: This is \nYerba Buena SX80: alright. So this area. So \nYerba Buena SX80: I apologize. So what we have are the north\, South. I’m sorry. East\, west we have these Paseo’s. I’m going to just delete the you can see that all these walkways\, all these Paseo’s come down here \nYerba Buena SX80: to this area right along the Wellness trail\, and then there are sidewalks on both sides that come down\, and there’s a crosswalk\, and this is the main funneling point here\, and then there’s also sidewalks right along the inside that come out. \nYerba Buena SX80: There’s a little boardwalk right here. \nYerba Buena SX80: Oh\, God\, sorry I have an old \nYerba Buena SX80: copy. There’s a boardwalk here\, there’s a walkway here\, there’s you know\, so so there are multiple points \nYerba Buena SX80: that people can get through. \nYerba Buena SX80: Okay\, I was just noticing that the green areas\, the Paseo’s connect to the to the road\, not to the water\, and I’m sure you must have had some conversations about that. Maybe you could just walk us through the thought process there. Okay\, so we have them connecting to the Wellness trail as well as there’s the sidewalks that go right down along each side that go right to the water. \nYerba Buena SX80: Let me just delete that. There we go. Now you can see it a little bit better. \nYerba Buena SX80: First.st \nYerba Buena SX80: Okay\, it’s really \nYerba Buena SX80: It gets down to kind of a simple density issue of. If you’re gonna turn those sales the other way and have to get the car circulation in there and stuff like that\, it would just require a lot more roadway and therefore less green space and fewer homes. So this was a way of trying to really get maximum \nYerba Buena SX80: efficiency out of the vehicular circulation. So we need the most room for open space residences and things like that. And we thought that the and the Paseo’s filtering to either out to Marina Bay\, south\, or to that interior street\, provides a good\, efficient. \nYerba Buena SX80: clear access to the water. \nYerba Buena SX80: Okay? And those sidewalks are what like bye\, 6 feet something like that. \nYerba Buena SX80: 5 feet 5 feet. Got it? Okay. Thank you. \nYerba Buena SX80: Stefan\, thanks\, Jacinta. I just have one question related to adaptation. \nYerba Buena SX80: I think\, if I understand\, in the staff presentation\, the 66 inch end of century condition. \nYerba Buena SX80: there’s some expectation of overtopping onto the bay trail. \nYerba Buena SX80: Is\, has the applicant considered adaptation strategies\, if and when \nYerba Buena SX80: the bay trail frontage would not be accessible. \nYerba Buena SX80: Yeah\, that’s where we have an additional path adjacent to the homes. That is a public access path\, and that is up at a higher elevation. 3 feet above 4 feet above the \nYerba Buena SX80: existing bay trail. \nYerba Buena SX80: So for sea level rise of the adaptation we’re is\, is that the line that’s adjacent to the red line on the plan? Yes\, yeah. \nYerba Buena SX80: And so the distance between the front of the units\, and that path is \nYerba Buena SX80: so. It’s right. That path is right adjacent to the. So the front yard opens up to that path\, and that’s a public access path. \nYerba Buena SX80: And then it connects to Marina way South cul-de-sac all the way down. \nYerba Buena SX80: Thank you. \nYerba Buena SX80: Okay\, I’m just going to. I just want to clarify a couple of things. If you could bring up that site plan again. \nYerba Buena SX80: It was just difficult in the package to actually see the details. \nYerba Buena SX80: Look\, I think we’ve got online people participate participating. So if you could go back to the Site plan. \nYerba Buena SX80: yeah. Now\, if you could just shift\, well\, I’m just gonna say\, shift up. Yeah. And then if you could zoom in on the area immediately adjacent the Rosie\, the Riveter Museum. \nYerba Buena SX80: Yeah. Are you able to enlarge that at all \nYerba Buena SX80: right? So so just to walk. \nYerba Buena SX80: Just so\, I understand there is a basically a a service. \nYerba Buena SX80: I don’t know if you’re calling that a paseo as well. But it’s the service road between the 2 units. So that’s the garage that people go in and out of. And when you get to the end\, can you just walk me through how people actually back around and turn around and get in and out? \nYerba Buena SX80: Yeah\, the the the alleyway extends a little\, you know\, 2\, 3\, 4 feet beyond the where the garage door is\, and that’s a pretty standard thing in parking lots and things like that where somebody’s backs out\, and they have room that that \nYerba Buena SX80: between their garage door and the curb on the other side there’s at least 24 feet\, which is pretty standard dimension for aisles. Drive aisles and things like that. So somebody does have the room to back up \nYerba Buena SX80: and then drive out directly. \nYerba Buena SX80: Okay. And then\, as we as we move\, I’m just gonna say\, left here\, towards the bay trail and the 100 foot shoreline band. And just for the benefit of everyone. Looking at this. \nYerba Buena SX80: the 100 foot shoreline band is that purple line right there? Correct? Yeah. So \nYerba Buena SX80: so the 100 foot shoreline band actually intersects with the front side of the Rosy the\, I should say\, about halfway along the Rosy\, the Riveter Museum. \nYerba Buena SX80: and then the path that I think\, Stefan\, to your question. The path that we we’re told is the \nYerba Buena SX80: the path that would\, you know\, be an adaptation public access path \nYerba Buena SX80: then extends up\, but doesn’t. It’s at the moment it just cuts back into a house? Yeah. Yeah. \nYerba Buena SX80: But I did have another question. So \nYerba Buena SX80: just from a design standpoint. Perhaps the architect could could explain. Front versus back versus side. It looks on the elevations like the sides. Really a typical side on it’s very plain elevation correct. Nothing much going on there\, except. \nYerba Buena SX80: you know\, a couple of bathroom windows\, or something like that bathroom windows\, some some bedroom window\, some additional bedside bedroom windows look real quickly at the second level\, where the main living spaces are. I think we’ve got at least some windows into the living rooms and dining rooms and things like that. But \nYerba Buena SX80: It’s really dictated a lot by what the \nYerba Buena SX80: anticipated furniture arrangements will be\, and stuff like that inside the in the inside the houses\, trying to make some furnishable. Yeah\, I mean\, so I mean\, it really looks to me like the intention architecturally is that you know the front of the house which you would expect is is facing the great views\, and you know the amenity in the trail\, and so on. So for the owners of each of those houses they have. \nYerba Buena SX80: Can you just describe how how you would describe to them what their front yard is \nYerba Buena SX80: it’s there’s the the upper level walkway that that Michael was describing\, and then there’s a a small \nYerba Buena SX80: landscape band in between that and their front porch\, and so that would essentially be their front yard. It’s \nYerba Buena SX80: so. So that that’s what they would imagine is their private garden\, if you like\, versus the public space. I guess\, in the sense that it’s on their lot. Yeah\, it’s it’s made. You guys can correct me if I’m wrong. But that’s a landscape\, the landscape that would be maintained by the Homeowners Association. So it’s not \nYerba Buena SX80: well is the property line\, the red line \nYerba Buena SX80: it? That’s the lot\, not the property line\, but the lot line. So the existing \nYerba Buena SX80: property line. I don’t see it on this retentional. \nYerba Buena SX80: I think their lot line\, I think\, actually\, is the back of the sidewalk. Yeah\, okay\, so yeah\, right\, the lot line is the red line. But yeah\, the property line is that dashed black line in the middle of the bay trail. Okay? Just so\, just so we clear on exactly what’s going on here. Yeah. \nYerba Buena SX80: Okay\, yes\, Stefan\, go ahead. \nYerba Buena SX80: Understanding that I believe that this site has a minimum density requirement. Do you do you agree with that statement \nYerba Buena SX80: that the Cm 5 has a minimum density requirement of 40 dwelling into the acre. \nYerba Buena SX80: The the regulation here is the general plan\, which is 0 to 125\, and again the zoning\, the zoning says\, 40 to 125. But the general plan\, the general plan is a higher level document in California land use law\, and again\, it’s been deemed consistent with the city’s regulations legally. So\, the general plan allowing \nYerba Buena SX80: down to 0\, allows the minimum density requirement of 40 to not be applicable. Correct. \nYerba Buena SX80: Thank you. \nYerba Buena SX80: Okay\, that was hopeful to see that in large. So thank you for that. \nYerba Buena SX80: that’s the only question I have\, I think. Let me just double check that. \nYerba Buena SX80: Yeah\, okay\, so I think that concludes clarifying questions. We will now move to public comment. \nYerba Buena SX80: And we have\, received a number of public comments. \nYerba Buena SX80: written comments. And then we have in person or online comments. So actually\, should we do the in person 1st and then walk through the submitted comments\, we’ll do in person\, then online. And then anybody who hasn’t \nYerba Buena SX80: readdress their comments that they submitted. I will summarize those comments. Excellent! Thank you. \nYerba Buena SX80: Alright. Jordan\, the stabler cool. \nYerba Buena SX80: So hit the button. Okay\, got you? Good. Good evening\, everyone. Boy\, with all these blinking lights. I feel like I’m in the house soup computer. \nYerba Buena SX80: Anyway\, I’m a my name’s Jordan distabler. I’m a resident of the Point Richmond district of Richmond\, and I’ve been resident there for 10 years\, and from Berkeley originally\, and for what it’s worth. My background is masters in landscape architecture. And I served on the Berkeley City Planning Commission. \nYerba Buena SX80: You know. It’s my understanding that the current iteration of this project has evolved to this point in the planning process due in large part to the city of Richmond’s somewhat dysfunctional aspect of failing to submit a project review letter in a timely fashion. \nYerba Buena SX80: And it’s my understanding\, you know. I’m all for housing\, being built on the site. I don’t have any criticisms of this this current iteration. However\, I think it’s totally inappropriate to be building single family housing \nYerba Buena SX80: on a site that is in per the general plan of 2030 city general plan is designating that as a high intensity usage area\, and particularly a transit oriented development site in the sense that the Richmond Ferry terminal is right\, you know\, within a thousand feet. \nYerba Buena SX80: and it makes no sense. And I realize that maybe the the financials don’t pan out to a higher density project at this point in time. I say\, you know\, there’s a growing demand for housing. \nYerba Buena SX80: and it seems a shame to delegate waterfront living to single family housing\, when I think more people should be able to live on the \nYerba Buena SX80: on the shoreline in higher density medium to high density. I’m totally fine with that and I think we can do better here. And so I’m really against this current iteration. Nothing personal\, but I think we can do better\, and I’m just disappointed in the city of Richmond. We’re not doing their their jobs\, in my opinion. \nYerba Buena SX80: you know\, there’s like\, I said. There’s a lot of dysfunction in that city\, but I don’t think we should suffer for that \nYerba Buena SX80: because once these houses are built. They’re going to be there for decades\, and it’s a missed opportunity as far as I’m concerned. So thank you very much. \nYerba Buena SX80: Thank you. Jordan. \nYerba Buena SX80: I just want to offer anyone online. If you could raise your hand for public comment. \nYerba Buena SX80: Okay\, thank you. I have 2 comments. One is the 1st one is Bruce Brubaker. \nYerba Buena SX80: I’m going to unmute mute. If you could state your name and affiliation\, and you’ll have 3 min. \nBruce Brubaker: Hello! Can you hear me? \nYerba Buena SX80: Yes\, we can hear you. \nBruce Brubaker: Thank you. I am going to make a couple comments about the Richmond Wellness Trail. \nBruce Brubaker: The way the Wellness trail is being planned currently is a Class 4\, \nBruce Brubaker: protected bike lane on each side\, north of Hall Street. \nBruce Brubaker: where this project is\, is proposed to be a class 3. Sherro’s project and \nBruce Brubaker: I have 3 points to make. About that. One is to switch from the class 4 lanes down to a share. Rows is confusing for bus cyclists \nBruce Brubaker: and you know\, just isn’t clear and might be hazardous to make that switch. \nBruce Brubaker: I want to also make the point that there’s going to be additional traffic here. If this project moves forward. \nBruce Brubaker: That will be using that street where the where the share owes is \nBruce Brubaker: are not only coming into the street. But there’s additional traffic now\, because of this project. All vehicles entering the project will be going down that street Marine way south to go into the project. So there’s additional traffic there. I also want to point out that the plan shows that there’s perpendicular parking \nBruce Brubaker: that the project is planning along that stretch of Marina way south\, so that cars would actually back up into the street where there are sherrows \nBruce Brubaker: and bikes are sharing with with the vehicles. So I think I think that \nBruce Brubaker: the the project should have a better connection from the Wellness trail north of Hall to the Bay trail rather than going to Sherrow’s\, and one of the ways that that could happen \nBruce Brubaker: is to continue the Class 4 trail \nBruce Brubaker: to the bay trail\, and that would mean reducing or eliminating some parking\, some parallel parking \nBruce Brubaker: on a block\, and another way to do it would be to to make it a more slow shared street\, so in some way change the paving. \nBruce Brubaker: or make additional efforts to narrow the street in a way that makes it safe for cars and vehicles to share. So \nBruce Brubaker: that’s my comment. Thank you. \nYerba Buena SX80: Thank you very much. \nYerba Buena SX80: Let’s see. \nYerba Buena SX80: Next\, I have Ahmad Anderson. \nYerba Buena SX80: Do you want to do for sex? Oh\, I thought you wanted to do that. Okay? \nYerba Buena SX80: Oh\, okay\, to unlock them. Okay. \nYerba Buena SX80: Sorry about that\, Ahmad. You’ll you’re next. If you could please state your name and affiliation\, you’ll have 3 min. Thank you. \nAhmad Anderson (he\,his\,him): Good evening. My name is Aman Anderson. I am a former economic development chair of the Economic Development Commission for the City of Richmond. Also\, I’ll give you some background. My mom was the former mayor of the city of Richmond\, who led the drive to bring the ferry back to the city of Richmond. \nAhmad Anderson (he\,his\,him): with the hopes that there would be this opportunity\, not necessarily for single housing\, but knowing the need of crisis for housing\, as we begin to look at the general plan and the great\, the greatness need for a mixed use. \nAhmad Anderson (he\,his\,him): The other thought process is\, I’m concerned\, like the 1st caller\, that the city of Richmond slept on this opportunity to hear the voice of the people and the voice of the people who were concerned about not only congestion\, but also seeing that way for the use of transportation \nAhmad Anderson (he\,his\,him): between the iron triangle\, safety for bicyclists\, safety for commuters at the same time\, but most importantly\, the voice of the people have said\, single family housing is not the direction they want to go \nAhmad Anderson (he\,his\,him): from Economic Development Commissioner standpoint. I I do agree that we in the city of Richmond. We do have some dysfunctions\, but there are voices that are crying out for you to take a moment to pause. Think about the good that this can do if we take a moment to really step back and focus \nAhmad Anderson (he\,his\,him): on what the folks need in the city of Richmond from housing\, better transportation\, safety\, and environmental concerns as well. I thank you very much for your time\, and have a good night. \nYerba Buena SX80: Thank you very much. \nYerba Buena SX80: Thank you. Next I have Bruce Bayard \nYerba Buena SX80: going to unmute you\, and you have 3 min. \nBruce Beyaert: Am I unmuted. \nYerba Buena SX80: You are unmuted. We can hear you. \nBruce Beyaert: Thank you. Chair Mccann\, members of the board. My name is Bruce Byert. I’m the chair of track. The trails for Richmond Action Committee. \nBruce Beyaert: First.st I’d like to say that we support the comments made by Lee. Ho! Of Mtc’s Bay Trail group. \nBruce Beyaert: They’re very good and include the fact that bay trail should be widened to comply with the current design guidelines\, and\, moreover\, it seems\, from the staff presentation it should be elevated to allow for sea level rise. If I could have sheet 6 of the plans\, please. I’d like to address the need \nBruce Beyaert: to provide. Move the development back. So there’s more public access. \nBruce Beyaert: If you look at sheet 6 project sections\, you will see it’s counted as public space. \nBruce Beyaert: The landscaping adjacent to the front of the house. The front door of the house is public space. If you can believe that \nBruce Beyaert: in addition\, the 5 foot wide sidewalk is deemed public space\, and that is how people and service personnel and deliveries get to the front door of the house. How is that public space? \nBruce Beyaert: In fact\, you see the cross section here. There is\, in fact\, only about 15 to 20 foot \nBruce Beyaert: of the private property \nBruce Beyaert: inland of the of the property line that is really accessible public street\, other than the \nBruce Beyaert: 11 or 12 feet that’s adjacent to the front wall of the house. \nBruce Beyaert: The city of Richmond’s shoreline overlay district zoning \nBruce Beyaert: requires that there be no non-marine non water related property. \nYerba Buena SX80: Within the 100 foot band\, but unfortunately that was legally deemed complete. So I hope you can remedy that. \nBruce Beyaert: By moving the houses back out of the 100 foot band\, as well as a sidewalk and landscaping adjacent to the house\, and providing access to the house. \nBruce Beyaert: This clearly sure provided maximum feasible public access to the shoreline. \nBruce Beyaert: It’s very strange that the only way that people can get to their front door is using a public path. \nBruce Beyaert: and the public will not feel it to be very public. Walking immediately adjacent to somebody’s front door \nBruce Beyaert: and their front yard 6 foot wide landscaping \nBruce Beyaert: site. So thank you very much for this opportunity to comment\, and I hope that the problems in this plan can be remedied by Bcdc. \nYerba Buena SX80: Thank you very much. Appreciate it. \nYerba Buena SX80: Chair. That’s the end of public comments online. Okay\, thank you. \nYerba Buena SX80: Additionally\, Staff received the following public comments that have been distributed to the board and posted to the website in the order of reception from Tom Butt\, a Richmond Resident commented that \nYerba Buena SX80: the design is a suburban development of 20 units\, an acre on a site that is supposed to be a dense transit\, oriented development. The design does not take advantage of its base setting in that most of the homes have no water view\, and look across the street at other houses\, and that the houses located within the 100 foot \nYerba Buena SX80: within 100 feet of the mean high water line conflicts with the city’s shoreline overlay district ordinance for allowable structures that States quote no non water. Related structures are permitted outright within the 100 foot tidal buffer. \nYerba Buena SX80: Lee\, Wo. From Mtc. Bay trail commented that the proposed project will have a significant impact on the level of use and demand for the bay trail\, with the additional units. In addition to existing high use and demand from nearby destinations. Consider increasing the capacity of the bay trail. Currently\, it’s roughly 12 feet in width\, but per the Bay trail guidelines it should be a minimum of 18 foot corridor with additional width. Considered for areas of higher use. \nYerba Buena SX80: there is opportunity to improve the existing nearby bay trail\, since the pavement for the existing trail is in need of repaving and rebuilding. \nYerba Buena SX80: consider public access improvements that could\, that would complement or support the Rosie. The riveter programs and activities\, including an area to congregate rest and picnic. \nYerba Buena SX80: Other improvements may be interpretation materials or a themed play area. As there are a few playgrounds in the area \nYerba Buena SX80: amenities serving the bay trail like water\, fill stations and bike repair stations. \nYerba Buena SX80: Consider additional seating and viewpoint viewpoint areas to take advantage of the natural viewpoints along this frontage. \nYerba Buena SX80: improving connections to the Bay trail and the shoreline in coordination with the Richmond Wellness trail and adjacent sites\, and the current design creates a barrier between the bay trail and the public space and the development itself. He encourages more gradual and seamless transitions from private to public. In order to minimize the quote private feel of the waterfront \nYerba Buena SX80: we received a public comment from the attorney for the developer\, Brian Winter. He’s gone over his comments\, so I won’t repeat those \nYerba Buena SX80: from the Trust for public land. They’re the developers of the Richmond Wellness Trail. \nYerba Buena SX80: they commented. The proposed Marina Point development greatly diminishes sight lines to the shoreline and falls short of enhancing public access and use of the waterfront open space. The proximity of the proposed homes to the public waterfront and bay trail disrupts the visual and physical connection. \nYerba Buena SX80: The proposed housing development does not acknowledge the adjacency to the Rosie of the River National Historic Park site. It diminishes the Museum building and its visibility and does not elevate the significance of the site. \nYerba Buena SX80: The small picnic area and play areas on the southeast side of the project site are not well integrated into the public interface with the Bay trail\, and should be reconsidered to adequately serve the needs of trail users and the community. \nYerba Buena SX80: The proposed pull-in parking along Marina way\, south conflicts with the trails shared Bike Lane\, creating safety hazards. There are also concerns that the vehicular traffic in and out of the development will further compromise cyclist and pedestrian safety in the area. Their recommendations include providing a larger\, buffer zone \nYerba Buena SX80: along the shoreline\, enhancing the significance of the Rosa Riveter Museum\, including providing better visual access\, provide public park access\, and incorporate the proposed park into the existing open space system as a publicly accessible space. Take bicycle safety measures\, including reevaluating the Pull-in parking along Marina way south to reduce the conflicts of the Bike lane. \nYerba Buena SX80: We received a public comment from Bruce Bayer\, who just did his own \nYerba Buena SX80: public comment. And then\, finally\, this afternoon we received a comment from Lyzel Ayon of Caltrans\, stating the agency is interested in engaging in the multi-agency and regional collaboration to find multi-benefit solutions that protect vulnerable shorelines\, communities infrastructure and the environment emphasizing that any adaptation measures should be coordinated and consistent with any potential countywide efforts for shoreline adaptation\, climate adaptation and vulnerability assessments. \nYerba Buena SX80: Those were the letters that we received. \nYerba Buena SX80: Thank you\, Ashley. \nYerba Buena SX80: and I do want to thank everyone who’s provided either in person or written comments. These are extremely helpful and valuable\, because\, I would have to say\, you know\, we really are at the beginning of a process here\, even though it might seem like it’s a long way down the track. I noted that \nYerba Buena SX80: to date. There have been 3 public meetings held one with the community\, and for a project of this importance significance\, you know\, per the general plan per many of the comments here. One would have to expect that there is a realistic\, legitimate community process that will allow \nYerba Buena SX80: response from the proponent and and response in terms of you know how the development is approached. So thank you all for your comments. \nYerba Buena SX80: Okay\, now\, with that we’ll move to the board discussion and summary\, and just for the proponents. This really is the opportunity for the board to share reactions\, ideas. We don’t typically engage with the proponent during this stage of the meeting. But at the end of the meeting we do. \nYerba Buena SX80: You know we do provide an opportunity for the proponent to respond. So with that\, I just want to frame this frame\, this for the for the board\, so that we are \nYerba Buena SX80: keeping ourselves on track here. At the beginning of the \nYerba Buena SX80: meeting we were given some guidance. Let me just get to the right piece of paper to make sure I stay on track. \nYerba Buena SX80: so the staff reminded us\, and and the proponent as well\, talked about the \nYerba Buena SX80: the core access\, the core. Public access objectives that we always focus on. \nYerba Buena SX80: You know the degree that public access is public and fills public\, the usability of the public access. \nYerba Buena SX80: the visual access making sure that it’s enhancing visual access to the bay and the shoreline enhancing the visual quality of the bay shoreline\, the adjacent developments. In this case there are some very significant adjacent developments providing connections to continuity along the shoreline. \nYerba Buena SX80: and again\, in this case it is at a very critical node. So we need to make sure we take that that particular point thoughtfully and carefully\, taking advantage of the base setting. \nYerba Buena SX80: and then making sure that \nYerba Buena SX80: the public access is compatible with the wildlife wildlife. So Staff have asked us to \nYerba Buena SX80: focus in on 4 particular questions that will help staff as they continue to engage with this project. So the 1st question is\, does the project design enhance the user’s access to\, and the experience of the shoreline. \nYerba Buena SX80: And what what other opportunities are there to build connections\, or to further improve the existing public access as part of the project. \nYerba Buena SX80: So that’s really wrapping. You know\, our our dialogue should really really focus in on all related \nYerba Buena SX80: thoughts and questions in relation to access. Second question\, does the project is designed provide sufficient capacity for future adaptation strategies? \nYerba Buena SX80: And what could be done to the current design? What could be incorporated to make sure that shoreline \nYerba Buena SX80: changes in the future are able to be absorbed. \nYerba Buena SX80: And then the 3rd question\, Does does the landscaping and the fitness program along the eastern edge of the development\, read as a public connection to the shoreline. And what design recommendations would we provide to encourage public use for these areas? \nYerba Buena SX80: And then some comments on the. We didn’t hear a lot of detail in the presentation\, but any reaction to the proposed plant and material palettes which were in the package. So we should certainly comment on those. \nYerba Buena SX80: Okay. So \nYerba Buena SX80: what I’d like to do as we usually do is just ask each member of the board to maybe focus in on particular aspects of any of these questions that you want to pick up on in in your comments. And then in our dialogue. So \nYerba Buena SX80: who would like to kick off kristen? Okay\, thank you. \nYerba Buena SX80: I think I have. Let’s see maybe 3 buckets of comments. \nYerba Buena SX80: I think. The 1st is about the waterfront itself\, and the design of the waterfront and \nYerba Buena SX80: the kind of de minimis dimensions of that public access along the waterfront. And I think the fact that a few board members were alluding to in our earlier questions. \nYerba Buena SX80: that these paths are very narrow. They don’t feel very public\, particularly the one that is sort of just a path to door yards and not really connecting \nYerba Buena SX80: between public paths. Public paths should connect to each other and have more permeability and accessibility\, and I think at least one of these paths should at least meet the minimum bay trail dimensions. \nYerba Buena SX80: I think if we were aiming to have a great waterfront experience\, it should at least meet the minimum Bcdc requirements which are the minimum dimensions. Sea level rise\, access during sea level rise events\, and it sounds like wave run up is a big issue. And so maybe just taking a 3 foot elevation is not quite actually providing the right level of access. \nYerba Buena SX80: It’s also difficult to say that this park. \nYerba Buena SX80: in this setting\, next to the Rosie\, the Riveter Museum\, next to a ferry landing next to a kind of a commercial area and waterfront parks. \nYerba Buena SX80: It’s very difficult to say that this space is meeting public access. \nYerba Buena SX80: Given the encroachment of these townhomes into that 100 foot band\, and also the very kind of minimal \nYerba Buena SX80: attention to design in that band. So I think those 2 things combined. It doesn’t feel generous spatially\, and it doesn’t feel generous from a design perspective. And I think it’s really a missed opportunity. I mean \nYerba Buena SX80: this site. Actually\, you’re kind of missing the thing that’s so great about this site\, which is the waterfront. \nYerba Buena SX80: And in some ways this feels like a feasibility study turned into a master plan \nYerba Buena SX80: with some landscape around the edges. \nYerba Buena SX80: and not really a great master plan for such a fantastic waterfront site. \nYerba Buena SX80: And I really understand the feasibility issues right now with housing. It’s really\, I mean\, housing is hard to develop right now. But I do think that \nYerba Buena SX80: this site\, is it? It’s sort of undermining its own value with the current design\, particularly at the waterfront. \nYerba Buena SX80: And \nYerba Buena SX80: I guess one more. One more point just on access is\, I do think that the bike lanes \nYerba Buena SX80: are not really meeting the goals of the Wellness trail\, and having safer\, more visible\, more connected bike lanes. \nYerba Buena SX80: I I know it’s challenging sometimes within a section to get those bike lanes working. So maybe\, look. \nYerba Buena SX80: you know\, beyond the street section itself. \nYerba Buena SX80: Maybe look at the site itself for how to get bike access to the waterfront more safely\, particularly where the bike lanes are just kind of going straight through the cul-de-sac at the end. That feels \nYerba Buena SX80: sort of dangerous\, actually and then just one more point about the density. It’s my understanding that \nYerba Buena SX80: actually\, where \nYerba Buena SX80: general plan and zoning\, where there’s inconsistency between general plan and zoning\, the greater shall prevail. I believe that’s Ab. 2\, 34\, and the point of all of these State density bonuses is not to build housing at any cost. It’s to build more housing\, more dense housing\, more affordable housing. I’m not a lawyer. So obviously\, I defer to the lawyers on this. But \nYerba Buena SX80: I do. It does sound like the intention of the city is to have a more dense \nYerba Buena SX80: mixed use kind of a node here\, and so it’s hard to put that together with the kind of minimal waterfront design and say that this is meeting the intent of all of the plans. \nYerba Buena SX80: Okay\, these are good points. And I think\, \nYerba Buena SX80: I’m just gonna sort of speak \nYerba Buena SX80: jump in. If you don’t agree with what I’m going to say\, but I think the Board would \nYerba Buena SX80: have general agreement with what you’re you’ve just said so\, I think\, and and I like the way in which you have\, you know\, been very clear about the sort of the buckets of comments here. \nYerba Buena SX80: So I think what we should do is just continue to. I mean\, I I continue to build out the other \nYerba Buena SX80: issues that are of concern relative to visual access safety access\, the bay trail itself. Let’s let’s just keep moving on those important topics and others that are important\, Tom\, do you want to \nYerba Buena SX80: jump in? \nYerba Buena SX80: So\, yeah\, I think we all agree with the kind of the basic observations of \nYerba Buena SX80: how we appropriately feel that this plan is on this site. \nYerba Buena SX80: And \nYerba Buena SX80: I think this is probably the single\, most valuable and important parcel in the whole city of Richmond. \nYerba Buena SX80: in terms of how this the future city is going to develop with respect \nYerba Buena SX80: to its number one visitor site which is rosy\, the river. That’s a number one tourist attraction \nYerba Buena SX80: to the Craneway pavilion where the public activities are supported there\, and \nYerba Buena SX80: the the position along the the waterfront\, and of course the the ferry terminal. \nYerba Buena SX80: This is a new. This\, you know\, when people mention transit or in development. That’s what they’re talking about. \nYerba Buena SX80: Transportation\, too. \nYerba Buena SX80: So it would seem to indicate what the plan\, what the planning calls for\, which is high intensity\, mixed use\, etc\, etc. You know \nYerba Buena SX80: something that basically possible in this market. \nYerba Buena SX80: Now\, I don’t know if that’s really true. I know people’s judgment developers. Judgment in Richmond is that only single family housing can work\, and I don’t know if I understand or believe that. But that’s what comes through. \nYerba Buena SX80: I know that David Trachtenberg has done a pretty nice project called the Point. \nYerba Buena SX80: with a whole series of 3 story attached townhouses with a lot more density\, and they’ve he’s also provided space for a public cafe and some other things that are amenities for the public. \nYerba Buena SX80: I feel like the pushing into the shoreline band \nYerba Buena SX80: when we approve stuff like that is because the there’s something the public’s getting. We’re not getting any public like anything out of the units being over the line. \nYerba Buena SX80: I think that it should pull back \nYerba Buena SX80: behind the line number one. It should be a major public promenade of the amenities and scale that Marcia talked about already\, but much more expanded \nYerba Buena SX80: building on this incredible history\, and the views and the experience of the public expanding down the shoreline from from Rosa River\, expanding from Cranley Pavilion \nYerba Buena SX80: to create a public amenity\, a piece of public domain \nYerba Buena SX80: that is really major and significant. \nYerba Buena SX80: But it it’s true that if if you require all these things\, then how’s project gonna pencil? Just take our ball and go home. \nYerba Buena SX80: I would offer personally that I would trade \nYerba Buena SX80: won the 1st Level facing out onto this promenade \nYerba Buena SX80: for space\, which is a public use. \nYerba Buena SX80: whether it’s public\, supporting\, commercial or retail\, or anything like that\, and then stack up \nYerba Buena SX80: on top of that to the degree possible\, and then go forward with the plan. Maybe that would pencil. Maybe this could be a negotiation that could be considered in the current market. Understanding where we are\, I’d rather see \nYerba Buena SX80: much more dense project\, but I don’t not sure it’ll ever happen\, and we are under pressure to approve \nYerba Buena SX80: housing in this state. Now\, there’s there’s a lot of legislation\, and \nYerba Buena SX80: so forth\, that is pushing hard on this\, and people that don’t get with it\, you know\, they just get pushed to the side also. So I think there’s a \nYerba Buena SX80: potential negotiation over public domain that could be productive \nYerba Buena SX80: for this site and instill pencil for your project. Maybe \nYerba Buena SX80: that’s why I have a lot of things to say. But that’s my main point. \nYerba Buena SX80: Tom\, can I build on that just and if we could get the plan up. \nYerba Buena SX80: if someone could put the plan up \nYerba Buena SX80: because\, Tom\, one of the things that I think you know\, we’re all gonna be saying in different ways\, you know\, is the. \nYerba Buena SX80: But with the same conclusion is that the fact that so much of the housing is inside the 100 foot shoreline band that we simply run out of room to do the things that are the basic provisions that need to occur within the 100 foot shoreline band. For a variety of reasons\, visual access\, public access\, environmental conditions\, adaptation\, vulnerability. The list goes on\, and so we are faced with \nYerba Buena SX80: in fact\, I can’t even really think of a project that we’ve reviewed before that has this level of compromise in \nYerba Buena SX80: a section of the Bay trail which is in such an important area. Yeah. So \nYerba Buena SX80: I mean\, one thing that occurred to me is\, you know\, in the art of compromise. \nYerba Buena SX80: I’m just gonna \nYerba Buena SX80: say something here that we may. You know this is just the sort of process that I would hope \nYerba Buena SX80: that the development team is going through. So if you think about the importance of the bay trail in this segment\, and you look at \nYerba Buena SX80: the adjacent conditions to the Rosie\, the Riverdo Museum\, and it seems just \nYerba Buena SX80: impossible to me to have a single family home\, you know\, within \nYerba Buena SX80: I don’t know 8 feet 10 feet. Whatever the offset is from from that very important \nYerba Buena SX80: regionally\, actually\, nationally important venue. So you know\, could you pick up those 4 houses? \nYerba Buena SX80: And could you say \nYerba Buena SX80: we’re going to? I mean\, because this is for the people sitting over here. This is often the type of dialogue that we have. \nYerba Buena SX80: We’re going to give you something because it’s within\, you know\, we’re going to give you something\, and you give us something. So if we took those 4 houses \nYerba Buena SX80: out \nYerba Buena SX80: on the basis that we want to create a meaningful plaza\, a meaningful transition. Widen the bay trail\, put in appropriate buffers\, landscape it appropriately. \nYerba Buena SX80: and then there are 4 houses that in the developer’s world have to be put somewhere else to make the project stack up. \nYerba Buena SX80: Well. \nYerba Buena SX80: could you get creative\, you know? Could you attach a couple of the houses. Could you rethink that park in the middle that\, you know? Really? Do they need that park when there’s all the playgrounds and all of the waterfront to enjoy\, and perhaps a really much\, you know\, a much bigger space. Now I’m just thinking aloud. But this is the sort of this is the sort of thing that I would hope a development team would be going through this\, you know. Could you? Could you attach 5 or 6 houses at the back. And okay\, let’s \nYerba Buena SX80: less money. But at the moment\, you know\, less expensive real estate. But at the moment they’re on the backside facing industrial developments\, anyway. So what’s their sale price going to be like compared to you know the front? So \nYerba Buena SX80: this is the I just think that there is such a compromise on the bay trail and the \nYerba Buena SX80: and the shoreline band. As you progress towards the you know the core of this node that’s so critical for Richmond. So \nYerba Buena SX80: I’m going to stop there. But I’m just\, you know\, respond\, please. Others\, you know\, to to this theoretical \nYerba Buena SX80: possibility that I’m putting out there. \nYerba Buena SX80: I like the approach. I mean\, I\, you know. \nYerba Buena SX80: thinking creatively about the site. Could you have more height in the back\, and you would have attached units\, but at the same time those units would have views that they don’t have now. So\, you know\, is there some way of you know\, mixing it up a little bit. \nYerba Buena SX80: I I completely understand that having similar unit types\, you know\, repeated this many times\, that there’s an economy of scale there. But you just kind of wonder if there’s if there’s some room \nYerba Buena SX80: for flexibility there. \nYerba Buena SX80: Yeah\, to get the units out of at least some units out of the shoreline band. I mean\, we’re all practical people. We have \nYerba Buena SX80: lived working with projects that we need to succeed all of our careers. So you know the we’re not here to block. But but we are here to protect the public interests in the bay trail and \nYerba Buena SX80: and to protect the future in the face of sea level rise. And I just find that this current proposal is really difficult to accept the way it’s \nYerba Buena SX80: presented at the moment. So Stefan\, jump in. Yeah\, I just want to say. I mean\, I think it’s \nYerba Buena SX80: I would like to say out loud that \nYerba Buena SX80: you know our our focus is on the \nYerba Buena SX80: public access and the nature of public space in the project. \nYerba Buena SX80: and we see many projects where the \nYerba Buena SX80: the the full benefit of the public space is not compromised by what’s \nYerba Buena SX80: proposed in the private portion of the project. \nYerba Buena SX80: and I think that what we’re struggling with here is that this is this feels very much like a case where what’s being proposed in the private portion of the project is really compromising. \nYerba Buena SX80: The potential for public space? So you know. \nYerba Buena SX80: it’s not in our nature to comment on \nYerba Buena SX80: on the buildings and the nature of the design. \nYerba Buena SX80: But I would say that maybe sort of the the assumption here that 100 \nYerba Buena SX80: identical units should be the basis for the build out of the site. \nYerba Buena SX80: Is probably more central to a \nYerba Buena SX80: effective solution than in other locations. \nYerba Buena SX80: And I would say that \nYerba Buena SX80: Even this architect has done much more innovative fee\, simple configurations \nYerba Buena SX80: within a few miles of the site \nYerba Buena SX80: that I think would bring benefit to this location. \nYerba Buena SX80: In Hercules there is the Bayside Development\, which my memory is \nYerba Buena SX80: about 335 units on 13 acres\, and it is one predominantly one and 2 units \nYerba Buena SX80: fee simple buildings\, many of which are on \nYerba Buena SX80: 26 by 45 foot parcels. \nYerba Buena SX80: and that neighborhood now is over a decade old and feels very good. \nYerba Buena SX80: and one of the key elements\, I think that makes that neighborhood special is that the the entry to the \nYerba Buena SX80: the units is actually separated\, vertically from the street space. \nYerba Buena SX80: Through a sort of a traditional stoop design \nYerba Buena SX80: which this project\, I think could benefit from \nYerba Buena SX80: and nearby the Bayside project is the promenade Development\, which is now on almost 20 years old. \nYerba Buena SX80: Where there are fee simple townhouses over live workspaces\, again on postage\, stamp parcels\, and that benefit from a situation where the alley \nYerba Buena SX80: is higher in elevation than the entry at the street\, which is similar situation that you have. \nYerba Buena SX80: And both of those scenarios could provide you with a little bit more breathing room \nYerba Buena SX80: at the edge. And I think would also benefit from \nYerba Buena SX80: creating a more public condition without you needing to revert to \nYerba Buena SX80: a mixed use or non fee\, simple configuration \nYerba Buena SX80: and so I would urge you to. I think\, if you are going to \nYerba Buena SX80: continue to think about this site as a townhouse location for townhouses or \nYerba Buena SX80: houses in a townhouse configuration. I would urge you to think more creatively about the site planning\, because I think that that would actually be instrumental in \nYerba Buena SX80: opening up the public view corridors and \nYerba Buena SX80: the public access at the shoreline that would \nYerba Buena SX80: meet many of the comments that we’ve made here today\, but also that have been recorded in the letters from others. \nYerba Buena SX80: Thank you. \nYerba Buena SX80: Thanks\, Stefan. Bob. Go ahead. \nYerba Buena SX80: Thank you. See if I can \nYerba Buena SX80: look at people when I talk so. You know. So I’m a coastal engineer\, civil engineer\, and I’m really concerned about the limited amount of space \nYerba Buena SX80: for wave dissipation with sea level rise. I really the the bay trail \nYerba Buena SX80: will not be able to stay where it is with sea level rise. So there needs to be space to move it. \nYerba Buena SX80: and you haven’t\, in my view\, provided enough space for that. \nYerba Buena SX80: So I think you need I think there’s a need for an adaptation plan that addresses sea level rise 3 feet is\, I would say\, the minimum. \nYerba Buena SX80: and it should address higher amounts of sea level rise within the forecasting period \nYerba Buena SX80: or the life of the development \nYerba Buena SX80: and being careful to note that there are implications. If Fema mounts \nYerba Buena SX80: residential properties into the flood zone in the future \nYerba Buena SX80: they have. That’s a big issue for property owners. \nYerba Buena SX80: So besides\, the fact that there’s a real risk of damage and anything they were to that those houses would not really be accessible during certain conditions. \nYerba Buena SX80: It wouldn’t be safe for people or bicycles or anything. So \nYerba Buena SX80: I don’t. I mean\, I appreciate the \nYerba Buena SX80: interest in compromising with\, you know\, 5 of the units\, but I think all the the Bayside units should be moved out of the shoreline band \nYerba Buena SX80: from my perspective as a coastal engineer\, considering sea level rise. That’s kind of my\, you know. \nYerba Buena SX80: strong opinion on this. \nYerba Buena SX80: I just don’t think it works \nYerba Buena SX80: plus it would. It’s a great site to have space. \nYerba Buena SX80: Yeah. I mean\, you can see down the bay \nYerba Buena SX80: it. One of the reasons why there. There are wave issues. There is because there is a fetch down into the bay\, and when the winds blow out of the south during storms there are waves. \nYerba Buena SX80: I don’t see any profiles that show how deep the water is. I know\, over at the Richmond Peninsula there’s a pretty good mud flat at low tide. I’m not sure that’s the case here. \nYerba Buena SX80: And so I’m also concerned that I don’t think this topic has been given adequate attention \nYerba Buena SX80: in the in the development of the project. \nYerba Buena SX80: So I’m a pretty strong negative \nYerba Buena SX80: vote on this on this plan. \nYerba Buena SX80: Yeah. And Bob\, just to be accurate\, you know\, I mean that \nYerba Buena SX80: throwing out\, can you? That statement? Can you shift 4 of the houses? I mean the the real \nYerba Buena SX80: purpose of saying that is just to try and open. I like where you’re going with it. I it’s just that. I I you know it doesn’t really change where I’m coming from for everyone else to consider\, and I just want to be really clear about it. I am an engineer. I’ve done a lot of coastal work. I’m not comfortable with the design. That’s this way\, I feel about it. \nYerba Buena SX80: Okay? So I think we’ve really covered the topic of access experience of the shoreline. And I would say\, the level of detail in these submissions is extremely helpful\, I think\, to Staff as well. I don’t think we need to reiterate them\, but there were a series of points made about. \nYerba Buena SX80: you know\, enhancing the quality of experience for the for people walking or or cycling\, adequate seating\, and so on\, some excellent comments which I would just endorse all of the comments that were made on those from those aspects. \nYerba Buena SX80: I think\, Bob\, you’ve been addressing? Question 2. Very clearly. \nYerba Buena SX80: can I make a comment about 2? Yes\, go ahead. Regarding the adaptation. \nYerba Buena SX80: So\, Bob\, you covered that super. Well\, I just want to say that the mitigation\, if there was any in the future that would happen by the Homeowners Association. So you know\, that is a pretty big lift to do coastal engineering\, you know\, for a small group like that. And then with the 10% affordable units\, it kind of reduces the pool that I think you could draw on to get funds\, you know\, to actually do that work. \nYerba Buena SX80: So if we’re already not as high above sea level as we would like to be\, and that adaptation comes sooner than normal or sooner than we think\, and it seems like sea level rise is always accelerating\, not decreasing. \nYerba Buena SX80: It’s it’s not. It’s a logarithmic curve. I think that should be taken into account. Because this is for sale housing. \nYerba Buena SX80: Yeah. And just to make a \nYerba Buena SX80: just an additional point about that\, you know\, we we frequently \nYerba Buena SX80: fairly frequently see see projects where there is some incursion into the 100 foot shoreline band. But\, you know\, when it’s a parking garage or a \nYerba Buena SX80: office building or a restaurant\, you know\, we see all sorts of different buildings in that May come into the zone some distance\, and \nYerba Buena SX80: we always take a different point of view with housing\, because housing is a 24 HA day occupied use. It’s not\, you know an office where people are there 9 to 5\, and it’s\, you know\, not there on the weekends. And so there is a level of \nYerba Buena SX80: enhanced \nYerba Buena SX80: risk going back to question 2\, you know\, in relation to future adaptation. I just think the question is much more serious when it is housing versus other land uses. So \nYerba Buena SX80: just to make that point. \nYerba Buena SX80: Okay\, just moving to question 3. There’s the fitness program along the corner of the development. And we saw we’ve seen. We have the plan here. We saw a rendering. \nYerba Buena SX80: you know. The fitness is there again\, you know. Good to have the facilities very close to. It’s very. They’re very close to the house on the corner\, and \nYerba Buena SX80: I guess everyone would coexist there. Yeah\, if you can just go in a little further. \nYerba Buena SX80: I mean\, I like the fact that that \nYerba Buena SX80: that I think the team’s done a nice job of putting something there. That bicycle \nYerba Buena SX80: you know\, bicyclists and others can\, \nYerba Buena SX80: you know\, use? It’s a it’s a great functional area. I I \nYerba Buena SX80: I think that along well\, just consistent with the comments we’ve made already. I think it’s it’s a fairly \nYerba Buena SX80: tight the way it’s positioned there. But \nYerba Buena SX80: any other thoughts on that to help the staff on this point\, Tom. \nYerba Buena SX80: it’s working elsewhere. Put a fitness center there on the corner. \nYerba Buena SX80: It’s simple. \nYerba Buena SX80: Yeah. \nYerba Buena SX80: Gary\, any other thoughts on that are those private patios that are facing to the east. Well\, the side. Yeah. \nYerba Buena SX80: yeah. \nYerba Buena SX80: And I\, I there could be great changes. Well\, there\, I’m not quite sure against the path\, like retaining more. \nYerba Buena SX80: Yeah\, yeah\, I I don’t know what to say. I’m I think it’s good. The residents open to that to those green spaces. It does have a little bit the effect of making it feel more private\, perhaps. Yeah. \nYerba Buena SX80: yeah. \nYerba Buena SX80: I don’t think I would say to remove that. I guess it’s just something to to factor into the whole site plan and see how to compensate. And I think we’ve made comments pretty \nYerba Buena SX80: clearly now about sort of perception of private private versus public. And you know that’s something which is again a very fundamental concern of you know how people feel when they’re \nYerba Buena SX80: using the bay trail\, biking or walking or exercising. \nYerba Buena SX80: I mean\, they will be within very close proximity of houses. \nYerba Buena SX80: I think there’s a few things here that specifically. \nYerba Buena SX80: I mean\, I would hope this whole area could become more generous and a little bit more \nYerba Buena SX80: thoughtful in terms of accessibility. I think a few specific things the way that this path that connects to the door fronts of each of those \nYerba Buena SX80: connects back to the sidewalk and doesn’t have any \nYerba Buena SX80: or many other cross connections between the bay trail\, and this path\, I think\, helps make it feel much more privatized. \nYerba Buena SX80: I think the grade change makes it feel like a front walk for those units grade changes\, Stefan pointed out\, is a great way to differentiate between a public and private realm\, and I think even having a stoop or some other kind of social distance between the front door and the \nYerba Buena SX80: a public path helps a lot. \nYerba Buena SX80: and then the fact that there is this kind of landscape moat between that path and then this other path\, which is sort of seems like the public path\, I think\, also helps define that to make it feel much more private rather than a public path there \nYerba Buena SX80: and then\, also the small scale of it. The fact that it’s\, you know\, kind of a \nYerba Buena SX80: interior sidewalk scale rather than a public path along the waterfront sort of scale. I think all of those features \nYerba Buena SX80: contribute to the fact that it feels that feels like a private frontage separated from a public path\, and then on the bay trail portion of it. In the fact that there’s \nYerba Buena SX80: very little furniture. There’s almost no seating. There’s a kind of a small little gesture to a plaza entry \nYerba Buena SX80: to the interior of the site\, but it again\, because that kind of compresses\, then\, between these 2 single family homes that doesn’t feel sort of like an inviting access either. So a lot of kind of scale factors going into the way that this is feeling very privatized just to be specific. Yes\, and I think the I mean\, I want to commend the landscape architect on \nYerba Buena SX80: trying to include a program of lots of different activities. \nYerba Buena SX80: There’s just insufficient space to allow each of those activities to exist in a way that feels very comfortable in public. The plaza mid block. If we just go up a little more to where the mid block walk is or the mid \nYerba Buena SX80: development walkies. \nYerba Buena SX80: Yeah\, just yeah. Where the plaza is. And the seating steps\, you know\, if you \nYerba Buena SX80: if you think about how people the general public would feel\, you know. Let’s just say an educational group stop there. And 20 people sitting on those stairs. The relationship to the front door of the house is a matter of you know\, it’s it’s 6 or 8 feet away. And \nYerba Buena SX80: I think again\, just that perception of public and private and and uncomfortableness with that proximity or lack of sense of it being really public\, will come into play there. It’s just too tight. \nYerba Buena SX80: So just a general question about the Site plan\, I mean or not a question\, but a comment. \nYerba Buena SX80: There’s something about those green spaces going east\, West that that kind of you know. The view corridors into the property line and the Marina Marina way south. \nYerba Buena SX80: and if they were rotated 90 degrees\, I completely understand that it compromises the density\, as as you’ve said\, and then the question is. \nYerba Buena SX80: you know\, could you do anything to compensate for that? If the if those green spaces were running north\, south\, or maybe there was one green space running north south. Then from from the \nYerba Buena SX80: bay trail\, you know\, you could get some visual borrowing into the site\, even though it’s private\, and I think it would still give a feeling of openness to people passing by if there were\, you know. \nYerba Buena SX80: one or 2 of those events. And then \nYerba Buena SX80: which brings me to another comment about just the scale \nYerba Buena SX80: of the buildings in juxtaposition to the Ford plant. Which is this magnificent behemoth. \nYerba Buena SX80: you know. That’s gotten all these\, you know\, national honor awards\, and you know it’s been decorated every way you could. You know William Mcdonough and Long Logan and Berkeley. It’s just \nYerba Buena SX80: magnificent piece of architecture\, and there’s a scale juxtaposition there that I think does effect one’s \nYerba Buena SX80: ability to enjoy the site. I think it does have something to do with user. The enhancing\, the user experience is what I’m really trying to address here. And if there were you know\, attached units on the \nYerba Buena SX80: west side of the of B street. There\, for example\, that had\, you know\, it wasn’t such a jarring scale transition from the from the plant to the smaller fine grained houses. I actually think it would be better\, you know\, to have some more from the user experience on the bay trail. And yeah\, yeah. \nYerba Buena SX80: and because I I do\, I think that that property line on the west \nYerba Buena SX80: would there be a fence there? I think there’s a good chance there might be a fence there and and it’s it just doesn’t seem like a great\, you know\, for those units that are facing west. It’s it’s not. It’s not a fantastic experience\, anyway. Maybe I don’t know. \nYerba Buena SX80: Okay\, plant materials plant palette. \nYerba Buena SX80: Maybe we\, if you wouldn’t mind. If if we could bring the Plant Pallet \nYerba Buena SX80: exhibit up\, that would. That would be great interest\, right? \nYerba Buena SX80: And I think one thing that would help me in a subsequent review\, would be to just have a clearer \nYerba Buena SX80: designation of what is actually in the 100 Foot Shoreline Band Zone versus elsewhere. I mean? It’s a it’s a. \nYerba Buena SX80: you know. There’s a nice variety of plant material \nYerba Buena SX80: but I do think the you know\, we should really favor the native plants \nYerba Buena SX80: on the alongside the bay trail. \nYerba Buena SX80: And I mean\, there’s a zone that’s gonna get a massive blast of wind off the bay. This can be a little different than any of the other streets within\, so that \nYerba Buena SX80: it’s both dryness and and massive wind\, and a lot of takes a lot of abuse needs to be \nYerba Buena SX80: respond to that. Yeah\, yeah. I haven’t studied the palette\, but I I in general\, I would \nYerba Buena SX80: tend to push it in a much more extreme way towards the durable\, you know\, and the drought tolerant. And\, you know\, address issues of climate change and assisted migration. You know\, plants that are we’re used to seeing in the \nYerba Buena SX80: South and the Southwest are very rapidly making their way into the into the bay area. And\, you know. Yeah\, it’s it’s not only the wind and the and you know there’s just the durability of having plants in a public place. And and so I think I would \nYerba Buena SX80: tend towards you know more extreme choices. I you know there are certain things here that are very nice. There are maples\, and maybe they’re in protected areas between the buildings and so on. \nYerba Buena SX80: But you know\, I’m thinking about water use and and durability. Just make it easy for everyone. Yeah\, yeah\, this is not. I mean\, there are plants in here that would certainly. \nYerba Buena SX80: you know\, could thrive in the you know\, along the the waterfront. \nYerba Buena SX80: But I’m not seeing the sort of \nYerba Buena SX80: enough of the really hardy plants\, or maybe\, you know\, we I it would just be helpful to see the plants \nYerba Buena SX80: separated into 2 zones. You know the public zone and the residential areas. \nYerba Buena SX80: I would just add that seeing Marsha’s work for I don’t know how 1015 years in Richmond being on the city of Richmond. Drb. \nYerba Buena SX80: This woman’s fully capable. You got the right person on the project. Got got the right team\, too. Yeah\, that’s true. So we don’t need to dig too deeply into this. \nYerba Buena SX80: We’re in safe hands. Good hands. \nYerba Buena SX80: Okay? But we were asked that question by staff. So \nYerba Buena SX80: that’s our comments. Could I make comment on the \nYerba Buena SX80: on the planting? Yeah\, this is kind of \nYerba Buena SX80: anecdotal. Yeah\, I’m not a botanist or a landscape architect. I don’t usually do planting plans \nYerba Buena SX80: except for maybe a Restoration project \nYerba Buena SX80: but over at the Peninsula \nYerba Buena SX80: last time I walked around there. \nYerba Buena SX80: You know the Vincent Park and that area. \nYerba Buena SX80: There are a lot of lawns\, and there there are these big geese that have taken over there\, and they kind of interfere with \nYerba Buena SX80: some of the uses. And then the other thing I noticed\, which \nYerba Buena SX80: I think just probably goes along with all the Riprap\, is there all these ground squirrels \nYerba Buena SX80: in the shore rocks? And you know a lot of people think they’re cute and all that. But they’re not really a native. I don’t know that they’re they seem to be more of them than would normally exist. \nYerba Buena SX80: So I I just \nYerba Buena SX80: I didn’t see a lot of turf here. There’s a couple of little lawn pieces\, but I see you have the coastal sage \nYerba Buena SX80: or a scrub whatever\, and that seems \nYerba Buena SX80: much better than the big grassy lawns from my comment regarding the geese. It’s kind of a big deal. Actually\, last time I walked over there it was pretty intimidating\, you know\, that the kids couldn’t go into the grass lawn because the geese were not not having it. So \nYerba Buena SX80: thank you. \nYerba Buena SX80: Okay\, look\, I’m just going to. \nYerba Buena SX80: Just want to summarize a few points here. \nYerba Buena SX80: bearing in mind there’s a lot more that is very important. But just 3 or 4 things that I think are are \nYerba Buena SX80: major points relating to access and the \nYerba Buena SX80: the actual viability of the the bay trail in this area\, and the 100 foot zone. So I think the 1st point I’d make is echoing Tom’s point. You know this is \nYerba Buena SX80: this is the most significant waterfront site in the city of Richmond. It is. \nYerba Buena SX80: you know\, it’s part of a designated node. \nYerba Buena SX80: So I think. \nYerba Buena SX80: and it’s certainly transit oriented. It’s got a number of aspects related to it\, including the relationship to the Rosie\, the Riveter Museum. All of these things add up \nYerba Buena SX80: to something that \nYerba Buena SX80: I think we need to see further examination of from the proponent to see how the Site plan could respond to that very critical point from the public enhancement and public experience\, standpoint and access. And then I think the second critical point is that the \nYerba Buena SX80: the program that is in the that is shown on the plan in the within the bay trail is a reasonable plan. The landscape architects done as good a job as as could be done within the constraints of a much narrower area than we would typically see \nYerba Buena SX80: but it’s not sufficient to be able to have the type of user experience that. And and the practical aspects of circulation and view experience. That we need to see in a plan. So somehow. \nYerba Buena SX80: there needs to be some more space created. And I think the 3rd point is related to \nYerba Buena SX80: adaptation and resiliency. And you know\, making sure that that\, the Site Plan \nYerba Buena SX80: is going to be safe and minimize risk for the future in future. People with future homeowners who will live in this development \nYerba Buena SX80: and would expect to live there for generations. And you know I think we have to be very responsible about \nYerba Buena SX80: taking a you know\, we need to have a position \nYerba Buena SX80: in relation to how the site will adapt\, how the path. Can the bay trail can be relocated? \nYerba Buena SX80: I would add to that that the the higher level front access path\, the public path adjacent immediately adjacent the houses is just not \nYerba Buena SX80: It doesn’t convey an adequate sense of public nature\, and the width of the path is not sufficient. \nYerba Buena SX80: so that needs to be reviewed as well. \nYerba Buena SX80: and there are specific points that \nYerba Buena SX80: are elsewhere. But I mean they’re the ones that rise to the top for me. Does that capture it. Have I left something critical out? \nYerba Buena SX80: Okay? So just to help Staff as you continue forward on this nice. \nYerba Buena SX80: Okay? Look at\, if we’ve got\, I think we’ve covered everything at this point. So at this point we would \nYerba Buena SX80: ask Ashley\, we can ask the proponents to respond at this point just a brief response on what you’ve heard. \nYerba Buena SX80: Thank you for the comments. This is helpful for us. We are one of the things I did want to address is the public comments we did reach out to the Marina Bay Neighborhood Council\, the Richmond Coordinating Council. We went through the city of Richmond process\, and it’s kind of an interesting response that we got from them. Most of the people were saying. \nYerba Buena SX80: we don’t want density. We want it to look just like our our development and but then some people like a planning commissioner that was on \nYerba Buena SX80: planning commission forever and ever\, she was saying\, well\, we want it to be the dense. We want it dense. But the residents in Marina Bay we don’t want traffic. We don’t want more housing. So it was really interesting to hear that. So I wanted to share that with you. When we talked to the National Park Service they were mostly concerned about the interpretation and bringing that interpretation along\, so that that was interesting. So I appreciate your comments about more outreach \nYerba Buena SX80: related to that. We also the the Wellness trail. It’s kind of interesting. Because the commenter was the designer on the width of the trail\, and it being on street\, and there’s existing parking\, and you know it was kind of interesting. So we’ll work with them because we’re sub consultants to them for that and say\, Well. \nYerba Buena SX80: okay\, that let’s work on that so so we will look at. Look at the off-site impacts. And I don’t know if I necessarily have any other comments related to that. We’ll go back and \nYerba Buena SX80: look at the plans and look at all of your comments\, Mike\, do you have anything? No\, just to reiterate. We’ll we’ll take all your comments into consideration and see how and what modifications we can make \nYerba Buena SX80: too much. I think it’s just\, you know\, appreciate all the observations\, and we’ll have to circle back with our client and see \nYerba Buena SX80: how we can respond. \nYerba Buena SX80: Thank you. \nYerba Buena SX80: Okay\, thank you very much. Good. \nYerba Buena SX80: Now\, we normally at this stage \nYerba Buena SX80: decide whether we need to see the project again. And I think in this case we would definitely need to see the project again. \nYerba Buena SX80: Okay\, so I think with that\, we can \nYerba Buena SX80: move to adjournment of the meeting. \nYerba Buena SX80: so this concludes our project review\, and I want to entertain a motion and a seconder to adjourn our meeting could someone. \nYerba Buena SX80: I’ll second that Gary will second it all those in favor. Okay\, so the meeting is adjourned. Thank you. Everyone. Thank you to the proponents for the hard work \nYerba Buena SX80: and scheme\, and thank you to the team\, and I just want to acknowledge\, well done. You’re the 1st time you’ve presented here to to the board. So so thank you. \nYerba Buena SX80: And look just actually\, just before we adjourn \nYerba Buena SX80: a completely different topic. But I had the opportunity to \nYerba Buena SX80: walk the 2 new Parks Admission Bay earlier this last week\, and \nYerba Buena SX80: I think it would be good for us to as a group. Take a look at those 2 parks. There’s \nYerba Buena SX80: the Mission Rock Park has some very interesting\, I think\, instructive lessons that we could take from that. So and the other park. They’re both very interesting to look at. So you know\, let’s see if we could set something up in the New Year sometime and go for a walk. \nYerba Buena SX80: Okay\, thanks very much. \nYerba Buena SX80: Good night.\n \n\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Learn How to Participate\n Bagley-Keene Open Meeting Act\nAs a state agency\, the Commission is governed by the Bagley-Keene Open Meeting Act which requires the Commission to: (1) publish an agenda at least ten days in advance of any meeting; and (2) describe specifically in that agenda the items to be transacted or discussed.

Item 4\, \nTemazcal Meeting Room: which is the review of the Bay. Adapt draft\, regional shoreline adaptation plan in June. The Board reviewed the draft\, adaptation\, Strategy and Pathways\, standard sections from the plan. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: But to remind you of the Project Review order\, there will be a Bcdc. Staff presentation. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: then Board clarifying questions. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: period of public comment \nTemazcal Meeting Room: followed by board discussion and summary. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and a staff response at the end. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: So with that Bcdc. Dana Breckwald\, assistant planning director for climate adaptation will introduce the project. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Great. Thank you. We’ll just get our slides shared up here. It’s a pleasure to be back today. The last time we spoke to you you had seen snippets of the draft\, and I’m pleased to say that we’ve come a long way since then in a very short period of time. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: So we’re happy to share the complete draft with you today and \nTemazcal Meeting Room: let you know how you can \nTemazcal Meeting Room: provide comments today as well as the official public comment period that ends next Friday. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: So you can just go to \nTemazcal Meeting Room: so we’ll just start with there. We’re gonna take you through a journey this evening? In 3 different parts. First\, st \nTemazcal Meeting Room: actually talking about the background and context and the role of the regional shoreline adaptation plan. We’ve done some clarification since our meeting in June on how we’re describing what this is and and what it means for cities. Jackie will spend a good amount of time diving into the content of the draft. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: What are the requirements? What are the policy implications? What are the standards? And then I’ll talk a little bit again about what our next steps are for Bcdc. Our work does not end in December\, when this goes to the Commission for adoption \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and how you can participate in the public comment period. And then\, however long doesn’t have to be 45 min\, we have for questions and answers. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: So let’s get into what this plan is and what it means for local governments. I 1st just want to. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: If you haven’t gone through all this content already. Just let you know that we are in the middle of our public comment phase for the regional shoreline adaptation plan. The public draft went out on September 16\, th and it’s been distributed to all affected local governments in the region\, as well as other interested parties\, special districts\, etc. We had an interested parties list of of over a thousand. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: The draft is available on the Bcdc and bead up websites along with a link to a staging viewer for an online data mapping platform. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: And this is a precursor to a tool we will be launching in early 2025\, which I’ll talk about later. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: There’s a 2 pager with some basics about the plan and all sorts of other goodies on our website. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: There are 4 ways to provide official public comment\, an online comment form that you can fill out. You can either mail or email a public comment letter\, or and this is coming up quickly. And I encourage you to attend this\, if you if you so wish. We’re having a public hearing on October 17.th So a week from Thursday\, at one Pm. Here in \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Bcdc’s offices at our commission meeting\, and you can attend either in person or virtually over over zoom. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: So just to know that questions and comments raised today are not recorded as official public comment on this item. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: If you would like to submit comments through one of these 4 official \nTemazcal Meeting Room: avenues\, you can. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and we welcome that as well. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: So you’ve probably seen a similar slide to this the last time we presented. But what is a regional shoreline adaptation plan. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and in the simplest terms. It’s a region wide plan for the bay shoreline that guides the creation of locally coordinated. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: locally planned\, coordinated sea level rise adaptation actions that all work together to meet regional goals. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: It works by combining a top down with a bottom up approach the regional approach includes a region wide. One bay vision. For what adaptation planning along the bay shoreline should look like \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and and strategic regional priorities that identify region\, wide vulnerability issues that need to be addressed in local adaptation planning\, and Jackie will go into these in more detail later. In the presentation. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: the plan guidelines and minimum standards and minimums. Set the standards for regional shoreline \nTemazcal Meeting Room: regional. Sub. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Excuse me\, this is the second time we’ve given this presentation today. So apologies for this sets the standards for subregional shoreline adaptation plans which all cities and counties are now required to develop. The guidelines tell you how to develop the plan and create adaptation strategies that meet consistent standards that advance the one bay vision. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: So we’ll spend time going through this document today and talking about why it’s been created and what it means for local adaptation planning. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: So before we get into the contents of the plan\, I want to share a bit of background about Bcdc. And why we’re the agency that was named to develop these guidelines and a review and approve these plans. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: As you know\, we’ve been serving the region since 1965 to protect the bay and its shoreline. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and we have done a lot of work over the past dozen or so years to recognize sea level rise and the changing shoreline. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: We’ve included policies that impact our permitting and done some non-regulatory initiatives\, such as the Bay adopt joint platform\, which was published in 2021 \nTemazcal Meeting Room: that establishes regional agreement on the actions necessary to protect people and the natural and built environment from rising sea levels. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: The regional shoreline\, regional shoreline adaptation\, plan implements. Many of the actions in the bay adapt\, join platform\, and follows our bay\, adapt guiding principles. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and our work is also designed to align and support the work of other regional agencies like Plan Bay Area 2050\, and the estuary blueprint. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: So\, in short\, what we’re bringing to the Rsap is building upon a decade plus of foundational studies and initiatives. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: And it’s also responsive to all that we’ve heard from local governments and the extensive engagement we’ve done\, not just in the Rcep outreach process\, but over the past dozen or so years. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: So\, though each city has and county has its own unique qualities\, concerns and priorities. We’re all linked due to our shared shoreline \nTemazcal Meeting Room: impacts in one part of the region will have a ripple effect throughout the whole bay\, and different communities are also at different stages of planning\, so some need support to even get started on this \nTemazcal Meeting Room: effectively protecting our communities now and into the future requires us to act together as a connected region. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Because of that\, the goal of our regional shoreline adaptation plan is to ensure that adaptation is coordinated. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and that we reduce and avoid unintended negative impacts on our neighbors. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Resources are available to frontline communities who’ve endured historic harms. We prioritize plan for and protect the long long term health for our wetlands\, coastal habitats. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: We act strategically as a region to implement projects and support the systems we all rely on. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: We develop common standards and methods so that we can share data and information. We develop a pipeline for effective funding\, and that we have the ability to track and measure our progress\, so that we know how to continuously adapt to this challenge over time. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: So by now \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I’ve probably convinced you why sea level rise at an adaptation. Adaptation\, planning at the regional scale is important for the region\, but to add extra fuel to the fire. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Local adaptation\, planning is now recognized by the State as important and required by law. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Last year a new statewide legislation\, called Sb. 2\, 72 was signed into law by the Governor. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and this requires that local jurisdictions develop subregional shoreline adaptation plans. By January 2034 \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Bcdc’s job is to develop the guidelines that these plans must follow by December of 2024. So we’re under a legislative deadline here. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and then following that\, we will review and approve or deny subregional plans based on consistency with the guidelines. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: cities\, and counties also have the opportunity to apply for funding to complete these plans. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and then approved plans should unlock dollars for the implementation of projects. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and even though this law is new\, adaptation\, planning in the bay is not\, the Rsap sets out a complete soup to nuts process to develop a compliant plan\, but many cities are likely to already have pieces of these plans completed. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: So we’re committed to working with each community to meet them where they are and complete these plans and build upon what’s already been done locally. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: And I just want to acknowledge that even though we say this a lot in our presentations. We are working on updating the language in the plan itself\, to better reflect our commitment to flexibility. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: So cities and counties within Bcdc’s jurisdiction\, which you know\, generally covers a hundred foot band inland from the shoreline are required to develop these subregional shoreline adaptation plans. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: This table shows the cities and counties that fall in this category. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and you’ll also see that some of the cities have an asterisk next to them who are not within BCC’s jurisdiction\, but are projected to be impacted by coastal flood hazards in the near term. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and may want to engage in planning for that reason\, even though it’s not required. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Special districts likewise are not required to develop plans\, but can and should play a critical role in the development of local plans. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: And we’ve spoken with several special districts who are very interested in being engaged in this process. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Each city and county may choose to prepare their own plan\, especially if they’re already advanced in their planning process. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: But we also encourage neighboring cities and counties to work together to create a multi-jurisdictional plan \nTemazcal Meeting Room: that looks across borders and looks at impacts and solutions across jurisdictional boundaries. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: So now I’ll turn it over to Jackie to take a deep dive into the contents of the Rsap. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Great thanks\, Dana. Hello\, everyone! Jackie Perrin Martinez. I’m a senior climate adaptation planner at Bcdc. And the project manager for the regional shoreline adaptation plan. I’m excited to dive into a little bit more of an overview of the details. I know some of this should be familiar\, since you all saw it a few months ago\, but we have made a lot of\, I think\, refinements to what you’ll see today and going forward\, I’ll probably just say Rsap for short \nTemazcal Meeting Room: so I want to start by saying that we were really intentional about our goals for developing the Rsap\, and especially for developing the guidelines. In this document\, which outline the requirements for local jurisdictions\, to prepare subregional shoreline adaptation plans \nTemazcal Meeting Room: from the very conception we aim to ensure that the guidelines are designed to be flexible and provide multiple avenues to meet requirements that they encourage alignment across multiple planning processes. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: The guidelines are right sized\, meaning that they recognize differing levels of capacity and don’t leave smaller or lower capacity jurisdictions behind \nTemazcal Meeting Room: that they build upon existing efforts through allowing use of existing elements that meet the guidelines \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and that they’re impactful\, that they respond to the needs facing local jurisdictions and are locally adopted\, codified. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and provide the right level of information to catalyze implementation of policies and projects \nTemazcal Meeting Room: for sea level rise adaptation. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: The Rsap was collaboratively developed through multiple forms of engagement. We heard from community members through local community events\, and we co-hosted local workshops in partnership with 5 community-based organizations to test an initial version of the draft guidelines\, we deeply engage with subject matter experts through our advisory group who reviewed multiple drafts of the Rsap before the one that we’re sharing with you all today. And in fact\, this is draft number 3. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: We also shared an early draft with local government planners and practitioners. We held a planner and practitioner workshop in July to ensure that these guidelines were reviewed by folks who would really be using this and that they work and make sense for for those audiences. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: And lastly\, we’ve been touring the region and speaking at Mayor’s Conferences and County Supervisor meetings to share what we’ve been working on as widely as possible. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: And thanks to all of you who have reviewed various versions of this\, and also provided comments. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: as you might imagine all of this engagement yielded an enormous amount of feedback. Unfortunately\, I can’t go over all of the feedback that we received\, but I just want to highlight some of the common themes that we heard\, and that we have been working to address in this plan. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: First\, st we heard about the critical importance of emphasizing habitats and nature-based solutions throughout the document. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and we’ve worked to make it clear that a healthy future bay is an integral part of how we see the future of adaptation along the bay shoreline. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: We also heard about the need to provide consideration for existing as well as new developments\, and we’ve included this in our strategic regional priorities and in our adaptation strategy standards. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: we heard a desire for flexibility to work with existing plans\, which we mentioned often is our intent and goal. And\, as Dana said\, we’re going to continue to really look at this draft and see how we can further make that clear in the document itself. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: We also heard the need to ensure that shoreline solutions are based on local context\, and we’ll share how the guidelines include this bottom up approach to achieving this local nuance. While working towards regional goals. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: we heard some requests for simplification and clarity about what is required. This draft really seeks to provide clear instructions and remove guesswork about what we’re looking for. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: We include a complete plan submittal checklist to make it clear what we’re asking for and why \nTemazcal Meeting Room: we’ve also had a lot of discussion about what coastal flood hazards to include and the appropriate sea level rise projections to use. So we can follow up on some of those if if folks have questions. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: And lastly\, while BC. While this has been a relatively fast timeline\, we have heard an appreciation for Bcdc’s efforts to include so many stakeholders and make meaningful changes to our drafts in response to those comments. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: So with that context\, let’s dive into an overview of the document itself. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: There’s 3 main sections in this draft section one is the introduction. It provides the underlying science and context for the Rsap and the subregional shoreline adaptation plans \nTemazcal Meeting Room: section 2 is our one bay vision which includes our strategic regional priorities. This section can be thought about as our regional approach. That top down plan to ensuring that the contribution of local adaptation adds up to a shared set of outcomes for the region. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and section 3 provides the subregional shoreline adaptation plan guidelines which speak to the requirements of Sb. 2\, 72. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: This is that bottom up component where local planning will engage with their local communities identify local priorities and develop adaptation strategies suitable to their local conditions\, context and community values and goals. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: You can find this graphic at the beginning of the document which provides a nice\, helpful orientation. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: So\, starting with the one bay vision\, we shared this with you earlier. But I’m just going to give a highlight of of it. In the context of the whole plan. The one bay vision defines the regional outcomes of adaptation that we’re collectively striving to achieve. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: It serves as the foundation for the subregional plan guidelines to ensure that local planning contributes to these key outcomes that are necessary for a resilient future bay. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: The one bay vision includes a statement for the region as a whole which acknowledges the interconnectedness of our region society. And these issues\, and a vision statement and goal for 8 individual topic areas that represent key categories addressed throughout the plan. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: The regional vision is is more than just this one paragraph. But I’ll start with the 1st sentence\, just as this overview. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: And it starts by stating\, as sea levels rise\, the Bay area’s diverse communities come together to transform how we live\, work\, plan\, and adapt. Along our changing shorelines for each topic area. The vision statements state that as sea levels rise\, communities are healthy and vibrant. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: healthy baylands\, ecosystems\, thrive places are designed for changing shorelines\, critical services are reliable\, the bay shoreline is accessible to all safe and reliable transportation connects us all people and ecosystems are safe from contamination risks \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and regional collaboration drives efficient and effective adaptation. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Each of these 8 topic areas have a corresponding strategic regional priority. These are the critical issues that affect the well-being of our entire region and include issues that must be addressed across jurisdictional boundaries through the subregional plan guidelines. We require that local jurisdictions that contain any of these regional priorities include them in their local planning and describe their part in contributing to these regional and wide-ranging benefits. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: So I’m going to touch on each of these briefly. So you have a sense of what these priorities are. These include reducing displacement of communities on the front lines. Let me get my \nTemazcal Meeting Room: animations. Going. There we go\, reducing displacement of communities on the front lines. To do this we ensure that local plans include actions to mitigate this displacement risk \nTemazcal Meeting Room: ensuring Bayland’s ecosystems are complete and connected. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I’m 1 ahead. Let me back up. Okay. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: We require that habitats are improved not only locally in our adaptation standards\, but as a strategic priority that they are planned for across jurisdictional boundaries. As we all know\, nature doesn’t follow those lines \nTemazcal Meeting Room: promoting safe and strategic growth and density. We utilize plan bay areas. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: growth geographies and encourage growth in these locations to meet regional housing and development needs \nTemazcal Meeting Room: maintaining reliable critical and emergency services\, we ensure key critical infrastructure are prioritized to maintain the services provided which often cross jurisdictional boundaries. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: improving connected regional shoreline access. We require that public access and access to regionally significant parks and trails\, stays connected across shoreline adaptation projects \nTemazcal Meeting Room: maintaining the regional movement of people and goods. We ensure that local plans incorporate how the functions of these key assets will be maintained into the future. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Another priority is reducing contamination in environmental justice communities. I’m sorry. I’m sorry to scroll down and move this across all right there. We’re on the right one now. So reducing contamination in environmental justice communities. Not only do we include contamination as an asset to be assessed across all plans. But we state a regional priority. That contamination cited in specific communities needs to be highlighted and addressed 1st \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and last\, but not least\, is ensuring that flood risk. Reduction is achieved with neighbors and across jurisdictions \nTemazcal Meeting Room: we require that certain parts of the shoreline with high hydrologic connectivity\, demonstrate how their efforts work together to minimize unintentional flooding that could result if everyone goes it alone. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: So as you can see\, these are important and often interconnected. Issues. Addressing them effectively means that cities and counties will need to work together\, maybe even more than than folks already do to make sure that we can build this resilient future \nTemazcal Meeting Room: moving slow. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Okay. So now to the subregional shoreline adaptation plan guidelines which are specifically called for in Sb. 2\, 72\, \nTemazcal Meeting Room: the guidelines lay out a planning process organized by elements in a subregional plan. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: These include a planning process\, existing conditions\, vulnerability\, assessment\, adaptation\, strategies and pathways\, land use and policy plan\, project\, implementation and funding and a project list \nTemazcal Meeting Room: for those who may be familiar with sea level Rise adaptation. This shouldn’t look new. And that’s intentional. We developed this based on existing adaptation plans in the region\, and the plan requirements are structured similar to Fema’s local hazard\, mitigation plan guidelines. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: The purpose of the guidelines is to standardize this process\, to ensure that all planning is using the best available science information and practices to help us achieve the one-day vision. You can think about this as a cheat sheet for how to do good planning \nTemazcal Meeting Room: as part of the guidelines. We also developed 4 minimum standards\, while the plan elements describe a process for planning and will naturally include a lot of local nuance. The standards set consistent baselines for all adaptation\, planning\, and these are used across the planning process. These include coastal flood hazards and sea level rise scenarios\, minimum categories and assets and equity\, assessment and adaptation strategy standards. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: And I’ll provide a brief overview of these 2 components \nTemazcal Meeting Room: element A requires a description of the plan partners\, planning area and equitable community engagement strategy. I want to note\, and as Dana mentioned\, that planning the planning area can be a city\, a county\, a combination\, and we also encourage the use of operational landscape units as a planning area where it makes sense in those different areas of the Bay \nTemazcal Meeting Room: element B\, our existing conditions requires listing\, existing plans\, policies\, physical and social conditions that create the context for the plan \nTemazcal Meeting Room: element. C is where there’s an assessment of the vulnerability of critical assets\, issues and populations to these minimum coastal flood hazards. This is also where the strategic regional priorities really get elevated into the process as both a regional priority\, in addition to locally identified priorities. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: element D is where adaptation strategies are identified and preferred\, approaches are selected. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Element E requires a summary of the approach that’s necessary that the the approach for land use changes that are necessary to achieve the adaptation strategies selected in element d. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Element F requires a description of implementation\, including responsible parties\, timeline costs and potential funding sources \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and element. G is where we ask jurisdictions to provide a list of their priority projects. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: The standards are referenced throughout the plan elements. The coastal flood hazards and sea level rise scenarios identifies 4 minimum hazards that must be addressed\, all of which are exacerbated by sea level rise. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: These include tidal inundation\, the 100 year storm surge and shallow and emergent groundwater. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: We set baseline sea level rise scenarios based upon the Ocean Protection Council’s updated sea level Rise guidance \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Which includes 0 point 8 feet by 2050 and 3 scenarios for 2\,100. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Again\, as aligned with that guidance. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: We also include minimum categories and assets to ensure that no key issues are being left out of planning. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: These only apply if these assets appear in a given location\, and Bcdc provides regionally available data to meet many of these requirements for jurisdictions that don’t have easy access to some of this data. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: The equity assessment standards include equity\, focused questions that must be answered throughout the plan elements to ensure that equity is being centered in the process. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: And lastly\, the adaptation strategy standards lay out the outcomes of adaptation to guide the selection and development of strategies and adaptation pathways. There are 20 standards\, and they’re organized by these 3 kind of buckets of categories\, and I will summarize these buckets in this next slide. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: As I mentioned\, the adaptation strategy standards represents the outcomes of adaptation. Recognizing that there’s many different ways\, there’s many different specific strategies that local jurisdictions can take to achieve these outcomes. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Standards here with a green circle indicates that they are the standards for the strategic regional priorities. So those stand\, those standards with the green would only apply if that strategic regional priority was in a local jurisdiction. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: In general these are organized by 3 buckets. Starting with what’s at the water and maximizing the benefits of water dependent shoreline uses in Bayland’s habitats. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: These standards include promoting public access. Water dependent uses. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: such as ports\, marinas and water access points\, and ensuring Bayland’s habitats are improved and have the ability to exist into the future. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: The second grouping is improving community health\, economic development\, infrastructure and housing needs. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: These standards include achieving key outcomes related to reducing flood risk for existing development \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and strategic plan\, existing development and strategic planning for new development along with many of the key issues I mentioned earlier in the strategic regional priorities. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and the last category is focused on creating pathways to respond to changing flood risks over time. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: This is the emphasis on building the adaptive capacity to implement adaptation pathways and be responsive to risk these include actions that governments can take such as updates to local standards\, codes and land uses. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Lastly\, and we’re getting near the end here. Lastly\, I want to note that we’ve laid out a formal process for developing\, submitting\, and approving subregional plans with key responsibilities for both local government staff and Bcdc. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: As Dana will elaborate a little bit further on. Next\, the Rsap is was planned to be adopted as a Bay Plan Amendment which will give Bcdc. The ability to review subregional plans for consistency with the guidelines. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: The draft that we have set out today sets expectations for compliance\, and this process includes a public public noticing\, when plans are initiated. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: a minimum number of consultation meetings between local staff and Bcdc. So that we can work with you on where you’re starting from\, and how your existing work can help best meet the guidelines. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: followed by local approval by elected boards at the local level. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Local adoption must occur prior to submittal to Bcdc. And following this will be a formal review process\, public hearing and commission vote or approval. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I know that we shared a lot of information with you\, and I want to emphasize again that we do intend to provide flexibility\, and how these plans are created with and across local jurisdictions that make the most sense for your communities. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: We want to work with you to help ensure that we’re truly building upon past and existing research and decisions made at the local and regional level. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and ensure that the guidelines really serve you and your communities\, that they provide a helpful cheat sheet for how to do good planning while still providing the necessary space for local solutions that can work for both local and regional benefit. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: There’s no doubt that this work is hard. The challenge of sea level rise before us is immense\, but we believe in the outcomes of good\, coordinated and consistent planning that we can achieve together. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and meeting these guidelines\, ensures really addressing the issues Dana brought up earlier that we can\, that we\, though the outcomes are prioritizing equitable processes and resources to frontline and environmental justice communities\, reducing flood risk to existing homes\, jobs and neighborhoods\, ensuring flood safety and new developments\, continuing to enjoy recreation areas\, habitats and access to nature\, continuing to be able to rely on services\, the movement of goods and people and our other network systems \nTemazcal Meeting Room: prioritizing the cleanup of contaminated sites\, especially in areas of groundwater rise and creating collaborative governance with the ability to respond to changing risks of adaptation over time. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: All right. So with that\, thank you\, and I’ll turn it back to Dana for a few next steps. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Thanks\, Jackie. Just a couple more slides here to let you know what’s coming. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: As Jackie mentioned\, in order for Bcdc. To carry out its responsibilities under Sb. 2 72 Bcdc. Must formally adopt the Rsap to review and approve local government sub-regional shorine adaptation plans. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: So Bcdc. Will be formally adopting the Rsap through a Bay Plan Amendment \nTemazcal Meeting Room: staff is proposing that the Commission adopt the entire regional short and adaptation plan by reference as a component of the Bay plan. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: And we’re also proposing to make changes to existing Bay plan\, climate change\, policies. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: findings and policies. So climate change policy 6\, for example\, calls for creating a regional shoreline adaptation strategy. So we propose amending that to say that the Rsap is now established for use and approval of these subregional plans\, and it fulfills that shoreline adaptation strategy. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: The edits also provide direction for future Bcdc action in this area\, such as providing ongoing technical and policy support. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: And I also want to emphasize here now that even though we are changing climate change policies. It doesn’t change the way the BCC. Will will permit projects. It just responds primarily to some of the updates\, some of the findings and responds primarily to the language in the shoreline adaptation\, strategy \nTemazcal Meeting Room: or sorry. And the climate change policy is the calls for the shoreline adaptation strategy. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: We’re also modifying policy. 7. That will allow Bcdc. To use the Rsap. And the subregional plans \nTemazcal Meeting Room: in an advisory capacity when reviewing permits. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: All of these changes can be found in Bcdc. Staff report\, as well as the preliminary recommendations. That’s all available on our website. In addition to the draft of the regional shoreline adaptation plan. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Bcdc is also committed to supporting local jurisdictions as they create these subregional adaptation plans and help implementation of the Rsap \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and the 2 major ways that we’re doing this in the next year or so is starting in 2025. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I mentioned this earlier. We’ll be publishing an online mapping platform that provides regionally available data layers that help to visualize existing conditions\, map the strategic regional priorities\, support vulnerability assessments at the local level and inform adaptation strategies and pathways. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: The mapping platform data and functionality will be updated regularly by Bcdc. When the new science or data is published. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: And\, as I mentioned before\, also\, we have a draft currently available. It’s not what it’s going to look like in its final version. And there may be additional data that gets added. But we welcome any feedback on how the mapping platform can work in concert with the guidelines to help people develop these plans. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: We’re also beginning to scope a technical assistance program. This will provide support on how to create plans. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: how to support the creation of community capacity locally for community members to engage in planning processes \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and also just provide resources that we think are supportive of how people should be doing adaptation plans. So\, for example\, lots of people have asked for templates\, plan submittals. We’re including some in the draft itself. But a lot more of those will be developed over the coming year or so. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: To build community capacity. We’re launching shoreline leadership academies around the bay\, starting in early next year \nTemazcal Meeting Room: to work with community members and educate them on climate adaptation. And we’ll provide a number of other resources to support adaptation. We don’t know exactly what that’s going to look like\, because we’re developing the scope for that project or for that program right now. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: So here we are. This is just a visual look at the timeline that Jackie has already talked about. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: The major thing to note here is that we are nearing the end of the public comment. We’re really emphasizing this public hearing next Thursday on the 17\, th \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and then the public comment period will end the next day. After that we will take a couple of months to respond to public comment. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: revise the draft as well as our staff report with the edits to the Climate Change policies. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and then we’ll bring that final draft to Bcdc’s commission for potential adoption on December 5.th \nTemazcal Meeting Room: And just as a reminder. The legislative deadline was December 2024. So we’re we’re we’re getting there. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: So we recognize this is this is the document. It’s you know it’s \nTemazcal Meeting Room: nighttime reading \nTemazcal Meeting Room: But if you don’t\, we are providing some some strategic places where people can look if they want to learn about how we’ve addressed certain issues so general overview\, you know. Read our executive summary. So the big buckets of things we’re addressing is\, what are the requirements for local plans. So if you’re a local jurisdiction\, wanting to know\, what do I have to do to get this done? We have some suggested pages and sections here. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: You want to know how and where equity is integrated into the plan we are honing in on things like the Equity assessment standard\, and how we’re and our description of how equity is addressed in the Rsap. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: You want to know how this plan supports healthy Bay habitats. We’re pointing you to certain areas where we’ve addressed that explicitly. And then\, if you’re interested in\, particularly in housing and development\, here are some sections that you might want to dig into in a more detailed way. We also recognize that a lot of the juicy\, really juicy stuff kind of comes near the back of the of the guidelines\, including the adaptation strategy standards. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: So this is also our way of of letting you know that\, you know you don’t really have to read the introduction\, but definitely jump to the\, to the meaty stuff in the back. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: So just a reminder here of how public\, how you can provide public comment. We do\, you know\, encourage you to \nTemazcal Meeting Room: speak with us in an informal way. We’ve done a couple of consultations on people\, you know\, people who just want to discuss comments. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: but we also\, of course\, are accepting the formal public comment. The reason why we’re doing this in such a formal way is because this is a Bay plan amendment. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and therefore we need to have all the comments sort of documented and responded to according to law. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: So just a reminder here of how to do that. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: And then the last thing I’ll say is that funding is available right now. We have been working with the S. But Sb. One Grant program that the Ocean Protection Council \nTemazcal Meeting Room: is currently administering. And they’re basically wanting to fund as many of these subregional shoreline adaptation plans as they possibly can. At this point. I think we’ve had 6 or 7 successful applications in the Bay area. So far\, applications are accepted on a quarterly rolling basis. The last deadline was just this past Friday\, which means next deadline is December 20th \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and it’s non-competitive in that. If you submit an application that meets all the minimum requirements you get the funds. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: There’s also a technical assistance program available to help environmental justice communities\, tribal communities and small and rural communities \nTemazcal Meeting Room: understand the grant requirements. Write the grants come up with budgets\, engage stakeholders\, etc. So coastal quest is the entity that is providing that technical assistance. And we just really we want \nTemazcal Meeting Room: one of the amazing things about this Grant program is that the Bay Area has received a larger proportion of the statewide funds than La has\, and that never happens. So we want to keep it that way. And we want to make sure that the Bay area gets its fair share of these grants. So \nTemazcal Meeting Room: that’s all we have for you today. I’m sure you. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I’m sure you have our contact information memorized from the June meeting. But just in case you don’t please feel free to reach out to us in between. If you have anything else that you \nTemazcal Meeting Room: didn’t\, that doesn’t get addressed today. So thank you so much for your time. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Thank you very much for that presentation. Is there anything else? We’re gonna go into \nTemazcal Meeting Room: some board questions here? \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Before we start? I just wanted to say\, that’s an incredible amount of work for the past 3 months. I’m a little overwhelmed by the 200 pages that I \nTemazcal Meeting Room: had to go through \nTemazcal Meeting Room: today and this weekend. So it is a lot to take in\, and we have a very short amount of time. It sounds like to incorporate our comments. So I have to steer our comments to something that’s useful\, especially me. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: So \nTemazcal Meeting Room: with that as an intro\, and and again\, many\, many thanks for all the work\, because \nTemazcal Meeting Room: you know\, I think a lot of the comments that we had at our last meeting. I do see they’re incorporated here. The graphics are vastly improved. There’s much more emphasis on nature-based solutions. There’s some mention of managed retreat. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: so I think that I still I’m trying to wrap my head around the whole thing. But I know that that you’ve covered a lot of territory there. So \nTemazcal Meeting Room: fantastic. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: So I’m thinking\, maybe we just start down at the end with you\, Stefan\, to kick off your questions and the ideas that we’re \nTemazcal Meeting Room: asking only clarifying questions here. We’re not intending to get into a big discussion just yet. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I have a lot of questions\, but I think there are more discussions. So I might just hold mine until until later. Yeah. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: sure\, thank you. Gary\, and thanks for really \nTemazcal Meeting Room: comprehensive presentation. I really appreciate it. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I \nTemazcal Meeting Room: attended the public webinar a couple of weeks ago. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: And this is \nTemazcal Meeting Room: just\, I think\, providing a really wonderful comprehensive level of detail which is really appreciated. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I think my main questions \nTemazcal Meeting Room: are \nTemazcal Meeting Room: maybe around the regional. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: the subregional shoreline adaptation plans for program\, and I think this may have been mentioned before\, and so I apologize if I missed it. But \nTemazcal Meeting Room: what is your expected timeline for the \nTemazcal Meeting Room: drafting and adoption of the sub regional plans? What’s the deadline around that? \nTemazcal Meeting Room: So the legislative deadline is January 2034. We are certainly hoping that people develop plans earlier than that. We’re going to be rolling out the carpet and starting to assist folks next year. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and the earlier you get in hopefully\, the earlier you can access the implementation funds. But the deadline deadline is January 2034. Thanks. That’s helpful. So the \nTemazcal Meeting Room: the near term \nTemazcal Meeting Room: sea level rise scenarios which in that situation would be \nTemazcal Meeting Room: the point 8 feet\, would be very close to that threshold. It would be well within a traditional sort of long range\, planning threshold \nTemazcal Meeting Room: for a plan\, and the 3.1 at the low end of the \nTemazcal Meeting Room: end of century. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: You’re sort of well into that strategy. So I’m curious about the \nTemazcal Meeting Room: is\, are there expectations that are established about how \nTemazcal Meeting Room: the subregional plans will approach those \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and the the baseline. For my question is \nTemazcal Meeting Room: the policy guidance that we that we sort of use \nTemazcal Meeting Room: on the Drb side to try to differentiate \nTemazcal Meeting Room: resilience sort of shorter term resilience versus longer term adaptation. Where \nTemazcal Meeting Room: the shorter term piece you can speak to. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I’ll say objective standards with a more\, with more clarity\, and the longer term adaptation piece \nTemazcal Meeting Room: is more about accommodating a range of scenarios. Could you speak a little bit sort of about what the expectations for the subregional plans are in that context. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Yeah\, happy to take that. So what we’ve laid out is we have these. We’ve said that the standards are minimum. So I want to. And I want to make sure that that’s really clear as well. And if jurisdictions want to add more value\, more sea level rise values. And in between our 2050 and 2\,100 that’s really encouraged. And we have a lot of language in our standards\, for instance\, about thinking about. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: you know\, flood risk reduction through the end of a useful life of a project\, knowing that there’s a lot of nuance between 2050 and 2\,100. But wanting to just set some really clear kind of baseline standards for the region. And so the vulnerability assessment\, yeah\, requires evaluation of exposure at \nTemazcal Meeting Room: both of these scenarios. So the 2050\, and the 2\,100\, as well as for adaptation\, and how we’ve kind of\, I think\, addressed the the short and long term. You know\, we’ve we asked for \nTemazcal Meeting Room: feasible adaptation strategies that demonstrate a feasible ability to reduce flood risk in that 2050\, and at that 2\,103 point one feet. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and then we ask for a narrative description about how those strategies would continue to function in a 2\,100 high. So that’s that 6 point \nTemazcal Meeting Room: 6 feet. And so in that we’re really trying to kind of embed this thinking of other adaptation pathways and getting ensuring that as people are planning their shorter term so that could be 2050\, but it could be values higher than that. Again\, we’re trying to just set the baseline based on the best available science\, but that those plans and those near term strategies are done with the understanding of kind of where those strategies will lend to in the future. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: So that we’re knowing that those are investments that that we’ve thought through their their potential feasibility over the long term \nTemazcal Meeting Room: does that clarify? It does. Okay? The concept is that you would be updating these regional plans on like a 5 to 10 year. Yes. And is that \nTemazcal Meeting Room: seen as something that is required or recommended to establish those updates we have included in this draft a 5 year limited update. So after approval\, we would ask for a 5 year kind of check in with us. Let us know what’s changed. I think we spell it out in a bit more detail\, and then a 10 year comprehensive update. So after 10 years\, maybe we want to\, we’re going to ask more information about what has changed\, what new analysis might now need to be done. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: We also intend to have the Rsap and the guidelines themselves be updated on a kind of fairly regular schedule at this point. I think we’ve listed no more or no less than about 5 years the Ocean Protection Council\, which comes out with the sea Level Rise guidance. They do that on a 5 year schedule. And actually\, we aligned really well in this in this instance. So our values are based on their 2024 guidance. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: So we’re aiming to try to keep that schedule with them that we update our science. And as we take as we are getting plans\, we learn from them as the the science and the techniques of adaptation evolve. We can make sure that we are kind of tweaking our work\, too\, to meet the needs of the region. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I have one more question for now\, which I think is \nTemazcal Meeting Room: maybe oriented around capacity building. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: So \nTemazcal Meeting Room: you know. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I sort of appreciate the \nTemazcal Meeting Room: the sort of the multiple range of pathways toward compliance. That sort of are described\, that \nTemazcal Meeting Room: individual jurisdictions and \nTemazcal Meeting Room: sort of go their own way. There’s room for collaboration. There’s some guidance with the understanding that \nTemazcal Meeting Room: some jurisdictions are going to have more capacity than others to \nTemazcal Meeting Room: with regards to sort of technical expertise\, but also implementation. Things of that nature. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Ultimately\, sort of what I’m assuming is that \nTemazcal Meeting Room: anything that’s a standard would sort of find its way back to that local jurisdiction\, if they’re participating in a multi-jurisdictional effort. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and that projects in the future \nTemazcal Meeting Room: would have a mechanism to demonstrate compliance. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: And so we see some. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: We operate in some jurisdictions like Burlingame\, for example\, that have made regulatory changes and the stuff that comes to us\, that’s reflected. But there’s others where it’s still kind of an open playing field\, and it’s a much more discretionary process to sort of arrive at that. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: My experience \nTemazcal Meeting Room: as a professional working with local jurisdictions. The capacity is \nTemazcal Meeting Room: an incredibly difficult issue. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: And so I’m curious about sort of what the long term \nTemazcal Meeting Room: expectations are about. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: providing additional resources \nTemazcal Meeting Room: or capacity building for jurisdictions. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: not only to be able to effectively participate in these kinds of plans\, but also to be able to implement them \nTemazcal Meeting Room: over the long term\, particularly if they needed to \nTemazcal Meeting Room: collaborate\, to create a new Gpa or something like that that’s managing like a regional flood district\, for example. So I would love to hear about what the \nTemazcal Meeting Room: the the funding beyond the Sb. One mechanism that you think might be. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I guess. Well predicted. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Yeah\, I mean. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: well\, we hope the climate bond passes because we think that’s that would be a big pot of money available for this as well. But we have other folks at Bcdc. Who are spending a lot of time and energy thinking about how we pay for this \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and working with other regional and state agencies\, and we have a couple of working groups going on right now. One is partnerships with the private sector. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: So how can we\, you know\, not like\, just \nTemazcal Meeting Room: have them give philanthropy or grants\, but actually come up with public-private partnerships that are effective in getting developers to address sea level Rise adaptation. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: One is is improving and aligning the public grant programs that we have right now \nTemazcal Meeting Room: making those easier to get making sure that if you don’t qualify for one\, you know\, that person passes you on to the neighbor where they know that that they can fund that particular grant program. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: In that one. We’re also looking about. we’re looking at the potential to \nTemazcal Meeting Room: create new sources of revenue. So do we need something like a measure\, Aa for sea level rise\, adaptation\, or an Rm. 3\, or whatever a regional measure of some sort that raises money for adaptation. And then the last piece that I’ll mention is we are developing. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: It’s called the investment strategy. And it’s a\, it’s a basically a set of criteria that we apply to every project that is being planned or implemented that we know of. We have a large database right now. We’ve been collecting over the past few years all the adaptation projects that are occurring in the region\, and then \nTemazcal Meeting Room: putting some level of prioritization to those. So that we know that we’re funding the short term ones. First\, st we’re funding ones that probably wouldn’t get funded otherwise\, because the the jurisdictions in which they’re occurring are very low capacity\, or they’re protecting frontline communities or some other we have. We don’t have the criteria\, the prioritization criteria finalized yet. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: But basically getting a short list of projects in the region similar to the way we do for transportation \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and ensuring that we’re sort of hitting things in the right order\, and that we have a short list that we can take to DC. Or Sacramento and and say\, like\, you know. Please fund these 10 projects so \nTemazcal Meeting Room: it’s a\, you know\, complicated answer. We don’t know. We don’t know what the future of funding is going to look like. Nothing is guaranteed\, especially at the state level and the the way that our State budgets are always kind of up and down. But we have many irons in the fire to kind of reduce some of that uncertainty\, and get some some streams of funding or or financing. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: That can be a little bit more reliable over the long term\, you know\, we released a study last year with Mtc. Saying that it’s going to cost us 110 billion dollars to do all this shoreline adaptation planning before 2030\, 2050\, sorry\, 2030 is a little too soon. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: But the other part of the study said that if we don’t do this\, and this is why I had 30 in my head. It’s going to cost at least 230 billion. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: And that’s just a really conservative estimate that’s like\, assessed property value\, not even market value. That’s just a subset of the major transportation assets that we would have to replace. So \nTemazcal Meeting Room: even though it’s a lot of money\, it’s so much more expensive if we don’t\, and the impacts will really fall on a lot of individual property owners as well\, and they’ll be seeing\, you know. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: people are already seeing impacts. They’re already seeing their their \nTemazcal Meeting Room: what’s it called insurance? You know\, is is pulling out. So I think you know it’s the question is not \nTemazcal Meeting Room: is there certainty? But the question is\, how do we build more certainty? And to to the future this is just something we’re going to have to figure out how to do. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Add just 1 1 piece of that\, because the funding\, when I think about capacity funding is obviously a huge huge part of that just funding staff and people and projects and all and all that. I also think about the technical assistance and the local assistance program that we are working on now\, which will include both how Bcdc. And our staff\, how our team works to to provide support. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: We’re also in conversation with a lot of our regional agency partners through our kind of bay area\, regional\, collaborative barc does a lot of interagency. And so we’re talking about regional ta programs and how we can build on\, not just our capacity. But multi\, you know\, Mtc. And the air district and others. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: And then the last thing I’ll say is just this idea of really kind of. We intend for this to be a living document for our work together as a region to evolve. And so I envision that\, as you know\, with this is our starting point\, as we do in the next iteration\, we’re likely to see more people might be facing new challenges\, and that as part of a program that we’re building as a whole region. Maybe there’s workshops. There’s experts\, I think there’s a whole range of those types of support that we could build. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: And that’s definitely the direction that we’re headed in is is how we help implement these guidelines and then even update and change them as needed. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Thank you very much. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Christine. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Do we get to have back and forth during the comment \nTemazcal Meeting Room: with Staff? \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I think. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: we need more of a conversation. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Let’s leave this to clarifying questions\, not substantive questions\, and then we’ll have the public comment. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and then you can have discussion\, and then discussion can be back and forth \nTemazcal Meeting Room: great. I’ll save my back and forth. Thanks for that. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I wanted to make sure\, though\, because I did have questions. And you guys have done so much great work. I didn’t wanna assume \nTemazcal Meeting Room: anything I wanted to make sure that I was understanding. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: yeah\, I well\, I just want to say\, I really commend you. This is a beautifully written report. It’s so. It’s \nTemazcal Meeting Room: very easy to understand. It’s really a lot of content. But it’s very easy to understand. And that’s a really challenging thing to do. And also it’s really full of these helpful\, bite-sized pieces of information that help tell the story really. Well. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: like there’s a lot of things I highlighted that I’m going to be quoting all over every dollar spent on hazard mitigation saves $6 and avoided cost of damages. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I know that that kind of analysis takes a while to get to\, and I think those pieces of information are so helpful. And you’ve told the story really well. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Also\, I didn’t know that we accounted for one for 1 3rd of all of California’s coastline. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: but 2 thirds of the State’s total economic damage from sea level rise. That’s like a really \nTemazcal Meeting Room: important fact. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Okay. So clarifying questions. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: will the Board be? Will we? The board be participating in any way in reviewing city’s plans. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: not to add layers. But just to understand our role like \nTemazcal Meeting Room: our is this kind of our last chance to say anything about these things. In which case that’s good to know. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Yeah\, the subregional clients \nTemazcal Meeting Room: default to you on that. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I mean\, we we actually don’t have the plan review\, like the internal plan review process laid out yet. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I’m I’m my understanding is that your statute is focused on \nTemazcal Meeting Room: projects \nTemazcal Meeting Room: for permits. So if we did want to have you involved\, we would have to re \nTemazcal Meeting Room: OP. Open that \nTemazcal Meeting Room: that mandate and and review it. But honestly\, everything is open at this moment like we are looking at how we right now. There’s no connection\, as I mentioned\, between the plans and our permitting process. But we’re looking at different paths forward\, and there’s certainly an a universe in which that path involves the Drb. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: And again\, I don’t necessarily have a I was just. I don’t have a recommendation there\, but just curiosity. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: You just mentioned. You’re not really sure what the process is. You’ve talked about some sort of capacity building. Is there a process for cities to get input as plans develop? Have you kind of figured that out yet? Or is that \nTemazcal Meeting Room: works? Yeah\, I mean\, when I say\, we don’t have the process yet. It’s it’s really our internal process of how we link the plans to the permits. But we have laid out in the document. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Our our process for reviewing and approving the plans\, and we have 3 mandatory check-ins between Bcdc staff and the city or county \nTemazcal Meeting Room: one when they’re initiating to make sure that they really like understand the requirements\, and that we can go through the content that they already have\, and see what matches. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and then 2 more at least at any point along the development of the plan. Because we’re asking cities and counties to adopt these plans locally before they submit it and have it approved by Bcdc. It’s really important that we’ve worked together to understand\, to make sure that the plans meet the guidelines before we go\, the cities go through that process\, and that could\, of course\, also involve environmental review at the local level. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: So I think staying connected and having lots of consultations\, and we’ve talked about\, you know\, having \nTemazcal Meeting Room: having this team be on our on our internal review panel and having folks from our regulatory side be on our internal internal review panel\, so that we get a 3 60 view \nTemazcal Meeting Room: on those plans and get a breadth and depth of expertise. But the expectation\, yes is that there will be no surprises. By the time somebody has completed a plan we’ll be have been working with them hand in hand. That’s great. Thank you. I’m sorry I missed that in the plan\, but that sounds great. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Oh. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: trying to just think about clarifying questions right now. You’ve answered. I had a lot of questions about funding. You’ve answered a lot of those. Thank you for that. Input \nTemazcal Meeting Room: sorry\, will. The \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Bay area’s 27 different transit agencies also be \nTemazcal Meeting Room: us to do a similar sort of a planning effort. That seems like there’s a lot of focus on infrastructure and access and connectivity and the challenges. I think you know\, especially you look at a lot of our bayfront is by way. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: access \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and rail and is there a similar idea for transit agencies to go through a planning process like this? \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I mean 272 only requires cities and counties. So if it’s a city department\, then yes\, if it’s a special district or some other\, you know\, Jpa\, or something like that\, they’re not technically required to. I can’t speak to what you know legislators are are seeking to adopt in the future to require these sorts of plans. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Personally\, I think that you know it’s a little bit limiting to not require the engagement of special districts\, transportation districts\, parks\, districts\, etc. Caltrans\, I mean\, we have been. Speak. We have been speaking\, Caltrans\, we’ve been speaking to Bart. There is a lot of willingness to work with these cities and counties to develop these plans. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I can only speak to Caltrans and Bart\, and you know the couple of other folks we’ve talked to. Obviously\, you know\, some other agencies might not be so interested in being involved\, such as some of our\, you know. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: freight rail lines. This has historically been difficult to engage with. So \nTemazcal Meeting Room: our approach. In general\, there’s lots of recognition that a lot of the shoreline at which these adaptation strategies need to occur might not be owned\, operated\, managed\, or controlled by the local jurisdiction\, and our response to that is\, try your best to engage. These folks. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: you know\, develop approaches that may or may not include them\, and then we’ll just continue to try to build that capacity in the region. To get more great to get greater cooperation. But it is a limitation of you know what cities and counties are able to to maybe do in their adaptation strategy. Yeah. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: that’s super helpful. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Last question on page 23\, page you show the different scenarios\, the kind of the curves. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: What is the 2018 plus plus scenario? \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Yeah. So I believe you were talking to the the Ocean Protection Council. We actually pulled that right from the report\, though with their permission\, and so that has to do with as they updated their most recent oh\, right on the page as they updated their most recent. As I said\, every 5 years they kind of come together with scientific scientists\, kind of come to consensus. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: The h plus plus was a scenario in their previous version that was kind of a in their previous version. They had probabilistic models of sea level rise. So it was more a percentage. They’ve shifted the approach this time around. It’s more scenarios and kind of an intermediate high\, you know\, level. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: So the h plus plus was a previous \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I don’t want to say scenario\, but a previous projection that didn’t have a probability associated with it\, because it was a kind of worst case. This could happen if you know\, the most extreme level of flooding like this is the flooding that they thought was possible in that last iteration. And so what they’ve done in this graph. And we just we didn’t want to kind of manipulate their graph. So that’s why it’s still in there. They’re basically saying that the H plus plus is no longer \nTemazcal Meeting Room: believed to be feasible by the 2\,100\, which was the previous draft or the previous guidance had stated. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: The reality is that at sea that level of sea level rise is \nTemazcal Meeting Room: still possible at a later date. So really the challenge with sea level rise is that the trajectory is only going in one direction. It’s only increasing\, it’s accelerating. And what the scientific projections are doing is helping us hone in on the date in which we might expect that obviously the further out you go\, the more uncertainty there is \nTemazcal Meeting Room: both in the Earth system and our understanding of it\, but also in societal choices. That’s actually maybe even the the larger unknown is what decisions might we make between now and those years to either increase or decrease emissions. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: So it’s kind of a relic of a previous version. And we just didn’t want to manipulate their graph. So it’s still in there. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Thank you. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Leo. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Thank you. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I want to echo everyone’s kudos for a really really amazing document. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: managed to balance thoroughness\, big picture thinking\, and a lot of detail all at the same time. So it’s it’s great to see a plan like this. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: And I think in particular \nTemazcal Meeting Room: for me\, you know\, for when we. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: the the idea of a more unified\, consistent submission\, I think\, is is really important\, because \nTemazcal Meeting Room: on various boards\, including this one\, we often get submissions\, and we see submissions of widely varying qualities and thoroughness. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and it makes it very difficult to evaluate them and compare them. So I think that’s really really critical \nTemazcal Meeting Room: thing that has been accomplished here. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I have a few\, maybe specific questions for clarification. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: one maybe starting off with one very straightforward one. You mentioned that \nTemazcal Meeting Room: 2034 is the deadline for the regional plans. Is there a deadline for implementation? \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Yeah\, that is a really good question. No\, there\, once the plans have been adopted\, you know. That’s as far as the bill goes. But\, as Jackie mentioned earlier\, we do have plans to do a 5 year limited update where we ask people for progress on the strategies that they’ve laid out in the plans. And then a 10 year more comprehensive. Update where you revisit the strategies. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: make sure they’re still appropriate\, and then see if if any triggers or thresholds have been passed\, and how you need to make\, maybe add more detail to your longer term strategies. Okay. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: that might lead to a conversation. But I’ll go by that for now? Maybe in a related way\, is there any \nTemazcal Meeting Room: expectations around implementation\, whether that is something that is expected to be done by the local jurisdictions? Or is it something that \nTemazcal Meeting Room: can be pushed to? \nTemazcal Meeting Room: private ownership\, you know. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: etc. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I think any number of public private partnerships are are on the table. It has to do with land ownership\, who owns and manages the land and funding\, you know\, who who can pay for it. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and one of the elements that we do ask for is an implementation and funding plan. And that’s where we ask people to start figuring out who’s responsible for this for implementing the strategy\, or what group of individuals is responsible\, what different roles may be. And \nTemazcal Meeting Room: you know how you might start taking some steps forward to implementing. So I think it’s highly variable. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: maybe expanding on the question about \nTemazcal Meeting Room: transit and other agencies. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: How does that relate to? Then also \nTemazcal Meeting Room: other forms of infrastructure\, such as power. There’s there are substations and utility stations down near the water \nTemazcal Meeting Room: or sewage is a major consideration. Given relationship to water\, other kinds of infrastructure. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: What we’ve done in the document to try to. So we were trying to. As Dana said\, this is required by local cities and counties\, but the way that we’ve tried to frame it in this work is that we all need to be working together on this and ideally\, these plans are comprehensive plans that include partnerships. So there’s a various ways throughout the document that we really encourage. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: encourage planners to partner with others. I mean\, for instance\, we require that these plans are\, you know\, include cities and counties\, but they could also be in partnership with the water treatment district. A different entity could actually even lead these plans as long as the cities are part of it. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and the cities also then have that role in some some local adoption and codification. So up in our planning process. For instance\, we actually require a who are the affected parties\, and we list a varying example. So that’s really all of those entities outside of the local government special districts\, wastewater treatment plans. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: So we asked them to identify very clearly and also let us know in their engagement plan how they are working with those other entities. So that’s 1 way through that. Like human partnership\, we also have some minimum assets and categories that we ask to be assessed in these plans. So we include critical infrastructure. We include\, we require that jurisdictions. Look at these assets\, even if they don’t own them. What we were trying to set up is a way that communities can be participating in these planning processes and communities being either residents who live there \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and or the entities who own and operate \nTemazcal Meeting Room: assets. So we try to get. We try to make ensure that this planning process is looking at the full picture\, whether you kind of own it or not. But is it an important asset? And is it a required to to at least understand the vulnerabilities\, and then in terms of adaptation. That’s where it gets trickier. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: And I think over time we’re going to have to do need to do more work\, I think\, to bring\, you know\, for those who are willing. I think there’s some special districts who are really excited and willing and want to participate\, and so we encourage them to work with their city and partner\, and and do a plan holistically together. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: In the instances where there isn’t that willingness. I think that’s an area that we need to continue to figure out what are the tools that we have? Is it more? Carrots are there eventually sticks? I’m not sure you know\, down the line\, but we try to get at that through both a partner with other entities\, and also look at those assets. And in some ways this is a public disclosure document\, too. We are asking people to look at these risks and kind of share them. And so maybe that will have a role\, too\, in getting players involved. Because now more people can see that you are vulnerable. And we want you to be. Part of this \nTemazcal Meeting Room: last question is. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: you’ve mentioned a few times this idea of being able to coordinate and understand how the the plans\, the regional plans are going to interact with one another. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and it may be in there\, I \nTemazcal Meeting Room: but I was trying to understand. Where? \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Where does that occur? In the submission requirements? \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Oh\, sorry. Where? Yeah. Where? Where does that occur in the submission requirements. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: So \nTemazcal Meeting Room: you know I would. I would expect that perhaps the an understanding that part of the submission should include \nTemazcal Meeting Room: a scenario planning about \nTemazcal Meeting Room: how the plants interact with their neighbors \nTemazcal Meeting Room: sort of an edge condition. Right? So even though they’re not planning beyond their jurisdiction\, they need to understand how the adjacent jurisdictions may or may not be making \nTemazcal Meeting Room: their plans and depending on the scenario\, they may have to complete their plan in different ways. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Yeah\, I would say\, there’s there’s\, I think there’s always room for improvement. So maybe there’s more places we can do this. But there’s 2 that come to mind for me. The 1st is in the planning process. We also ask for them to demonstrate how they’re coordinating with their neighbors. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: So in that instance\, if you aren’t doing a plan together. We do have a description\, or you know\, we have more detail. It says\, let us know what are your points of connection and how you’ve been working with your neighbors. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: That’s 1 of them. The other way that I think we try to get at this issue is through the adaptation strategy standards and those strategic regional priorities that I mentioned earlier each. If you have a jurisdiction\, I mean\, in \nTemazcal Meeting Room: for some cases it will really be any shoreline city\, and the public access is a good one as well. Everyone will have their own kind of jurisdiction\, public access\, and we also ask you to coordinate and let us know. How is your strategy going to keep that connection to your neighbor? So that’s 1 instance\, at least for that strategic regional priority\, but those \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and those are only for specific issues. So maybe there’s some room to ensure that. But we think that that is covering kind of a lot of the key issues. So habitats and the connectivity across habitats\, public access transportation. So anything that we’ve identified as having that really clear cross-jurisdictional boundary\, we have a standard that asks \nTemazcal Meeting Room: a jurisdiction to just tell us really a description\, how have you worked with your neighbor on this? We don’t go further into any type of analysis. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: But it’d be interesting if you have recommendations on what that would look like. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Okay\, thanks. And \nTemazcal Meeting Room: sorry. I did have one more question. And this relates to this idea of understanding the cumulative effects \nTemazcal Meeting Room: is \nTemazcal Meeting Room: given that \nTemazcal Meeting Room: each plan will be approved in its \nTemazcal Meeting Room: sequence. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: You know\, I can imagine that. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: At what point do we understand the net effects of all the plans? \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Extreme case. Everybody decides to put a barriers on the west side and on the East side. They’re doing a retreat. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: And suddenly we’ve got wave echoes going across the bay that \nTemazcal Meeting Room: impacts the plans that were being laid out on the East Side. So I \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I’m trying to understand. My head wrapped around about like \nTemazcal Meeting Room: the the big goal of this plan which I really commend you on\, is \nTemazcal Meeting Room: a coordinated\, cumulative. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: holistic vision and set of goals. What I’m trying to understand is the the more \nTemazcal Meeting Room: piece piece by piece. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: implementation and planning. How do we actually understand what it all means in the end. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Yeah\, I mean. So we looked into several bay wide models that would allow us to sort of plug in different projects and model how\, what the impacts would be across the region. We’re just not there yet in terms of the technology. So we’re trying to get at it through asking people to think through the consequences of their decisions on their neighbors. As Jackie was talking about in the adaptation strategy standards. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: so if somebody came to us\, and they’re like we just want to put a wall up on our entire shoreline\, we would say\, Hmm! I don’t think that meets the standards like\, let’s rethink that. Let’s think through how it impacts the neighbors. We’re also encouraging the multi jurisdictional plans also\, so that that the entire shoreline of an entire county \nTemazcal Meeting Room: thinks about it all at once\, so that we don’t have that kind of cascading like the 1st person in line\, you know kind of sets the tone for everybody that comes after it\, and all the plans that come after it have to respond to that. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: We’re also tracking projects at a regional scale. We have a huge database\, our our sap map. This \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I can’t remember. What’s that map? Sure. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: it stands for something. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and it’s not a model of how projects would interact with one another. But we are mapping them around the region so that we can start to see how\, how those projects might meet might interact with one another\, and none of this is is making its way into our our\, how we \nTemazcal Meeting Room: how we permit so far. But it could. I mean\, these are things that could feed back into the decisions about how we look at \nTemazcal Meeting Room: the implications of of individual projects\, and also looking at a plan as a whole\, could also have implications on how we look at individual projects as well. So the shoreline adaptation plans\, ask at least within your jurisdiction\, and if it’s a multi jurisdictional plan to have an understanding of the continuity of that shoreline protection. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and the and the or or other strategies along the shoreline\, and that can be very useful in understanding an individual project in the greater context. But it’s something that I think we’re going to continue to pursue. How we actually. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: you know\, create a model that is\, is \nTemazcal Meeting Room: is not so subjective. Maybe. so if you have any genius thoughts\, you know. Please share them. But it’s definitely a question that we’ve spent a lot of time \nTemazcal Meeting Room: trying to wrestle with. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Yeah. And I’ll just add to. I mean\, I think it’s such a good question. We’ve been thinking a lot about that cumulative impact. And how do you measure that? And I think the strategic regional priorities are one way that we are really trying to\, you know\, paint that comprehensive regional picture. One that comes to mind is\, you know\, that healthy habitats and ecosystems? Those are connected pieces. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: How do we ensure that? You know local action is adding up? Or how does somebody know how actions that they might make add up cumulatively through the region. So the strategic regional priorities are one way that we’re trying to get at that. The adaptation strategy standards that set some of those \nTemazcal Meeting Room: use nature-based adaptation first\, st before you look at another approach\, and some of the other ones are really trying to steer adaptation in ways that we think will have\, you know\, multiple benefits. And then the the update schedule\, I think\, is really another important tool that we have so that we can be monitoring and tracking. And. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: as you know\, we can get a sense of what are the strategic regional priorities that are being advanced and which ones aren’t. And what are we missing here in terms of resources to support that? So I think it’ll be a lot of things until we get some really cool technology someday to be able to kind of plug and play. And just I think it’ll get more complicated. But we want to set that foundation \nTemazcal Meeting Room: with with the tools that we have now. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Hey\, Bob? \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Thank you. These are really good comments. And you covered a couple of mine\, \nTemazcal Meeting Room: or or questions. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I think you guys have done a fantastic job. This is a very difficult topic. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Lots of different \nTemazcal Meeting Room: parameters\, layers. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: edges of the cube of solution\, space\, or whatever \nTemazcal Meeting Room: And so you know. And and one of the things I I like actually\, I was glad to see is that the \nTemazcal Meeting Room: appendix 4\, 3 has these recommended coastal flood hazards and assets. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: then it oh\, whatever that that one is\, where it acknowledges that there may be other \nTemazcal Meeting Room: things like waves and \nTemazcal Meeting Room: erosion\, and maybe even tsunami. Or you know\, whatever that people need to consider. And I I really think that’s \nTemazcal Meeting Room: a good way it leads me to the \nTemazcal Meeting Room: question of \nTemazcal Meeting Room: How do you see the Rsap \nTemazcal Meeting Room: itself adapting? \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I know that they’re the sub regional \nTemazcal Meeting Room: plans. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Have you know timeframes and the like for updates. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: but I mean\, how how do you do? You have like a \nTemazcal Meeting Room: program\, or you know\, thoughts on how I mean\, I have a couple of thoughts\, but it’s it’s a leading question. But \nTemazcal Meeting Room: is that is that that’s part of the process\, too. Right? I mean. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: like adapting the \nTemazcal Meeting Room: adaptation plan. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Okay? So you’ve that\, that’s gonna happen. And I think that’s important. Because. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: one of the things I’ve noticed is that. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: you know\, this is a difficult topic. And \nTemazcal Meeting Room: obviously\, and I think people sometimes have a hard time. People and their representatives have a hard time. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Addressing the realities. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and especially if the realities are somewhat fungible. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: And \nTemazcal Meeting Room: That leads me to my suggestion that one of the \nTemazcal Meeting Room: adaptive actions that you take with the Rsap \nTemazcal Meeting Room: is to look to \nTemazcal Meeting Room: the engineering community to provide \nTemazcal Meeting Room: regional maps that address some of those additional factors in your appendix. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and there’s several reasons for that. Obviously it would be more standard. It would. You would have some consensus and some standing. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I noticed that I think it was the State \nTemazcal Meeting Room: or no\, the actual. The Vcdc’s \nTemazcal Meeting Room: sea Level Rise policy mentions that these maps should be \nTemazcal Meeting Room: led by an engineer. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Which I you know\, I think a lot of the maps are. But having done some of those maps. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: one of the things we’ve realized\, and I mentioned this before\, and you’ll probably see another comment to this effect. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: that the the future conditions of flood and erosion hazard maps are very difficult for people to understand what they mean relative to \nTemazcal Meeting Room: what they’re used to looking at\, which are the fema maps that have things like V zones\, which means certain things to your foundation and \nTemazcal Meeting Room: your risk and free board and everything else. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: So \nTemazcal Meeting Room: yeah\, one of my suggestions would be to want to hold your suggestions until after \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I think recommendations\, we’ll do after our discussion. Can we do that? And then just do the clarifying question\, okay\, yeah\, no. I’m sorry. Actually\, I’m going to be done here pretty soon. Yeah\, okay\, I’m just trying to fire off some. Yeah\, no\, my\, my discussion has to leave a little bit early\, so I’d love to get in his comments on that. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: But \nTemazcal Meeting Room: no\, no\, really\, no\, do it. Do what you need to do. If you have questions\, go ahead. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Yeah\, these will be everything I have to say\, unless somebody has questions for me\, and I’ll try to get through it very quickly. And I apologize. I I do have a tendency to go on. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: you know\, we talked about adaptation plans not being realistic. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: One of the things that can help is have\, you know\, a kind of \nTemazcal Meeting Room: credibility a little more detailed maps\, and in particular\, being able to map future conditions \nTemazcal Meeting Room: with or without action\, and actually get a tool together that can be used to look at alternatives and to provide some clarity \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and reality. Reality is very important. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and people will tend to \nTemazcal Meeting Room: discount \nTemazcal Meeting Room: certain risks. If they’re not\, you know\, in their interest. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I think. How would the rcaps deal \nTemazcal Meeting Room: or the the sub regional rceps deal with \nTemazcal Meeting Room: realigning\, existing development \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and changing land use \nTemazcal Meeting Room: in that realignment is\, that is\, are there guidances on how \nTemazcal Meeting Room: guidance\, on how a city could consider \nTemazcal Meeting Room: changing their land use based on \nTemazcal Meeting Room: the bay. Moving. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: for example\, is that \nTemazcal Meeting Room: that part of the \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I mean\, we do have recommendations and how to consider future land use based on various conditions\, whether you know you have development in that location\, or depending on the sort of spectrum of development that you already have in that location. And then we do ask people to think about if you’re protecting something. Now\, what’s the feasibility of continuing to protect that into the future based on changing conditions. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: And if so\, like\, does that trigger a land use change at some point? So I don’t think we have something in there that explicitly says\, you know as your as the bay migrates inland\, you know\, do XY. And Z. Change in land use. But we do ask a lot of prompting questions. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Ask to have people consider the implications. The land use implications over time. Yeah\, no\, I saw that. And that’s really good. I guess. Then the question would be\, Is there an implementation plan element for the \nTemazcal Meeting Room: not only the Rsap but for the sub-regional rsaps? \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I noticed that you have an implementation plan for projects. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: but that’s \nTemazcal Meeting Room: a little different than actually figuring. And this is what I was getting at in terms of how do you implement \nTemazcal Meeting Room: movement of a neighborhood to an area before it floods to an area that\, or\, you know\, move people around. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: And so I think\, \nTemazcal Meeting Room: we can just leave it at that. Because I think that’s just kind of something that needs to be developed over time. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Yeah. And there is a 1 of the required elements is a land use and policy plan. So you could should look through the guidelines to what’s required in that section. Let me? Yeah\, because that’s that’s what we that’s what aims to get at those that laying out those changes over time and what it would take from a \nTemazcal Meeting Room: city perspective to get that achieved kind of like the last 3 elements. Let’s say\, D is developing adaptation strategies. And then EF and G are various ways in which you’re demonstrating kind of how you are enacting those strategies. So one is the land use component. Another is the project implementation. And that 3rd is then priority projects. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: How is the landward limit? I thank you for that. That’s really helpful. I think I missed that. And I’m definitely interested in seeing it. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: how is the landward limit of the coastal floodplain\, the planning area determined. I think I saw something like 6 feet of sea level rise using art or something like that. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Is that correct? That’s a good question. And we talked with our advisory group members and and tried to get some input on it. We ended up identifying at a minimum the 6.6 feet because it was our 2\,100 pie. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: So we just we’re trying to kind of keep some consistent values and not change them too much. But I think that there’s not a maximum\, and I think in many ways we might encourage people to look at \nTemazcal Meeting Room: you know their risks\, you know\, beyond that\, if they based on what they are trying to accomplish. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and that would that would probably include them\, considering the effect of that sea level rise on \nTemazcal Meeting Room: other flood sources\, such as rainfall\, runoff and groundwater. And and all that stuff. Okay\, yeah\, no\, that’s great. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: So what happened? \nTemazcal Meeting Room: You know\, going to the question about the 0 point 8 feet by 2050 as \nTemazcal Meeting Room: as the one criterion and then. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: the other 3 being 2\,100 and that kind of a gap between them. So what happened to the \nTemazcal Meeting Room: The Opc strategic plan? I think it was element\, one or action item\, one word\, \nTemazcal Meeting Room: the idea was for at least infrastructure\, I think. In California to be \nTemazcal Meeting Room: to have the capacity to handle 2 and a half feet of sea level rise by \nTemazcal Meeting Room: the year 2050\, which was \nTemazcal Meeting Room: different than saying\, Expect 2 and a half feet by 2050 it was \nTemazcal Meeting Room: to be ready for 2 and a half feet \nTemazcal Meeting Room: by 2050\, \nTemazcal Meeting Room: which is kind of different than the 0 point 8 feet. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: My understanding of it. And I’m not kind of an expert in this space. Lots of lots of things that we all do. So we have some staff on our team that kind of our sea level rise more specialists on it. So my understanding is that the most recent Opc guidance has come out since then\, and that that kind of reflects more of the maybe scientific \nTemazcal Meeting Room: uncertainty about these risks. And so that’s what we decided to really lean on is kind of what’s most. You know. What is the State recommending at this point? And trying to be as consistent as possible. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I’ll also add that is sea level rise plus free board. So you have. You would build higher than than what the actual projected sea level rise is. And and that’s that’s not. We’re not excluding in our standards that you would also add free board to these. If you’re evaluating your vulnerability at these different levels. And then\, when you \nTemazcal Meeting Room: plan a project that responds to that level of sea level rise\, then you would automatically include freeboard in that as well. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Yeah\, I mean\, this gets to the risk \nTemazcal Meeting Room: assessment \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and the \nTemazcal Meeting Room: perspective on risk. And whose risk is it? And what’s the State’s risk? Tolerance versus \nTemazcal Meeting Room: the city or the railroad? That’s an interesting one or the individual. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: And I think that’s a that’s a gonna be an interesting. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: So I I think those were all my questions. And \nTemazcal Meeting Room: if you read into those you’ll probably \nTemazcal Meeting Room: know what my comments might be. But I’m not going to. I think I’m \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I’ll participate in the next session\, but that that’s pretty much all I have. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Okay. Hopefully. Quick answer here. Is there anything in the document? And I’m only asking because I may have missed it about levies \nTemazcal Meeting Room: which would be levies that exist\, or levies that are under construction currently\, or levies that are in the planning stage\, that we don’t might not know about. Yet \nTemazcal Meeting Room: in our minimum categories and assets we do include storm water infrastructure as part of it. We kind of have the topic area\, and then a category\, and then specific assets. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: And so levies are part of I forget kind of what what they are\, but or what what we’ve named them as but the intent is that yes\, that you would be. If you have existing levies\, you wouldn’t be including those. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: There’s a couple other spots where we ask for if you have known projects. So if there’s known kind of changes to your shoreline\, so that would be an example as well of if there’s a levee being built. We would want to see that \nTemazcal Meeting Room: both in the existing conditions. And as part of your adaptation strategies. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Okay\, we can talk about that more after. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: So now that the presentations and the board questions are complete\, we need to open the meeting to public comment. Any member of the public attending the meeting in person. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: or online. Please notify the board if you would like to make a comment \nTemazcal Meeting Room: there. Any comment from \nTemazcal Meeting Room: persons in the room. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Yes\, it is. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Push the button on the on the bottom. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: There we go. Hello! Yeah. Yeah. I’m a boat architect here in San Francisco. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: For 25 years I had my own small practice. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: it’s a lot to take in. It’s all new to me\, so I’m trying to digest it now and \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I applaud your agenda. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and I’m I’m very concerned. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and it seems you are\, too\, and I plan to follow \nTemazcal Meeting Room: this process. And \nTemazcal Meeting Room: maybe I’ll have more to say at the next meeting in 10 days. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Thank you for your efforts. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Great thank you. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Thanks for your comment. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Are there any online comments? \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I have one comment\, Lucy Gill. I just unmuted you. So you have 3 min to speak. Please state your name and affiliation. Thank you. \nLucy Gill: Great. Thank you so much. Can everyone hear me? \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Yes\, we can hear you. \nLucy Gill: Great. My name is Lucy Gill\, and I am a cultural resources manager for the confederated villages of Lashawn Nation\, a tribal nation whose traditional territory encompasses Alameda Contra Costa\, San Joaquin counties as well as parts of Napa and Solano along the waterways. \nLucy Gill: And we’re really happy about this sea level rise\, adaptation\, plan\, particularly the focus on nature-based solutions and collaborative governance\, to ensure complete and connected ecosystems\, as well as the encouragement of engagement with tribal governments and incorporation of tribal cultural resources. \nLucy Gill: the La Shawn Nation has already been involved in some of this work through serving on the steering committee for the San Leandro Bay\, Oakland\, Alameda Estuary\, Adaptation\, Working Group\, and we also recently wrote a letter of support for a successful Ocean Protection Council grant for the city of Richmond. \nLucy Gill: and are partnering with them. On those efforts. However\, we are concerned that there’s no formal procedure outlined currently in the draft for government to government consultation on these drafts \nLucy Gill: between cities and counties and tribes\, and with Bcdc. Directly. \nLucy Gill: despite executive orders from Governor Brown and Newsom\, affirming and reaffirming State agencies responsibility to conduct tribal consultation on any agency activities that may impact them. We’re also concerned that there’s no discussion of tribal knowledge or traditional knowledge\, despite federal and State recognition that traditional knowledge is coequal to Western scientific knowledge \nLucy Gill: and calling for it to inform decision making. \nLucy Gill: We’re particularly concerned with this because tribes are the only communities that have been in the bay long enough to have actually lived through and seen sea level change substantially and adapt to it successfully. \nLucy Gill: So we think\, the best available science that you emphasize. We’re really happy to see that\, but that it also needs to incorporate tribal knowledge\, and the only way to incorporate tribal knowledge as well as the only way to identify and protect tribal cultural resources is to have a protocol for tribal consultation. There are already standards for this in State legislation\, like Sb. 18 and Ab. 52\, under Ceqa. \nLucy Gill: And so we would encourage the Commission to consider this recommendation\, and to engage with tribes in formal government to government consultation on these drafts. Thank you so much. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Thank you for that comment. Appreciate you jumping in. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Think we need more of that? \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Let’s see\, are there any other public comments? \nTemazcal Meeting Room: That is the end of public comment. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Okay? \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Oh\, one thing. We did receive one public comment earlier today from the city of Alameda. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: That was forwarded to the board members this morning. The central comments were simple. To \nTemazcal Meeting Room: central comments were to simplify the requirements\, as the proposed plan requires extensive detail and resources. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Streamlined planning process to coordinate with other efforts and concern over the requirements related to areas outside the local agencies jurisdiction. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: If there are no other comments\, then we’ll move on to the board discussion\, the board discussion section. I’d like to ask everyone except the Board to turn off their cameras so there can be a focused discussion \nTemazcal Meeting Room: board members. Please remember to turn your microphones on when you speak. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: And this is a \nTemazcal Meeting Room: our opportunity to have a conversation. So if something seems unclear\, or if you want to add on or or disagree\, please do \nTemazcal Meeting Room: jump in. I think this is really critical\, that we have a lively conversation here\, and \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I think. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Let me read the questions provided by Staff. Staff has requested the Board to give particular attention to the adaptation\, strategy standards. Additionally\, staff have the following specific questions for the Board’s consideration\, do you feel like you can support the guidelines as is? If not\, what would you change? \nTemazcal Meeting Room: What do you think are going to be the biggest challenges cities and counties will have as they develop these plans. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: what sort of tools might be helpful for plan development \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and 3. What else do you need to know to fully understand how these plans will work? \nTemazcal Meeting Room: So? \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I think. Maybe I know you’re on a schedule\, Leo. So you want to go first.st \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Your comments? \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Thanks\, Gary\, thanks for thinking about that. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: So \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I have maybe a couple follow up \nTemazcal Meeting Room: based on the questions I was asking. So I think the 1st is \nTemazcal Meeting Room: the fact that there’s no implementation deadline\, I find particularly problematic. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: you know\, I think the history has had many\, many great plans that have been put onto shelves\, and then never fully\, either implemented or fully implemented\, and in this case \nTemazcal Meeting Room: partial implementation can be just as problematic \nTemazcal Meeting Room: so\, and I think\, combining that with the room for \nTemazcal Meeting Room: jurisdictions to allow for \nTemazcal Meeting Room: some mix of public and private implementation makes it even more problematic\, because you can imagine there might be scenarios where there might be property owners \nTemazcal Meeting Room: who simply don’t act \nTemazcal Meeting Room: because there’s no hard deadline. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I think an interesting example of that is \nTemazcal Meeting Room: the Sb. 1953\, which was a bill that required \nTemazcal Meeting Room: hospitals to update themselves seismically. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and those deadlines kept sliding. But frankly\, if the bill hadn’t been there nothing would have happened. So I think that the deadlines are really important. I know that’s not central to the plan right now. I don’t know if there’s a way to make that part of the plan\, or \nTemazcal Meeting Room: do we have to advocate for legislation for something like that? \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I mean\, I I can respond and say that we Ecdc. Has no teeth to make that happen. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: we could link it to. You know our our permitting authorities in some way\, shape or form. I can’t imagine how. But that seems like that would some. That’s something that would need a legislative support. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Okay. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: is that \nTemazcal Meeting Room: that legislative support is something we could. That’s something. We could initiate a conversation around \nTemazcal Meeting Room: in Bcdc. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: The only legislation that we can \nTemazcal Meeting Room: propose and advocate for is around our own jurisdiction. So we can. We? We have a rising sea level Commissioner working group. That meets approximately quarterly to talk through some of these underlying issues of jurisdiction\, and our our underlying mandate that created Bcdc. And how those might need to be adjusted. So this that can certainly be a part of that conversation. That’s the primary \nTemazcal Meeting Room: venue that we have right now. I mean\, we could\, you know\, bring bring back the findings of that to the Drb. And give you updates on that\, or anyone can engage in those rising sea level working group meetings. I will say we’re at the very early stages of this. We’re still kind of like legally assessing what are different paths and different outcomes that we might want to have happen. So it’s a very open conversation at this point. So I think any any ideas are welcomed. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Okay\, yeah\, yeah. I just think this is one of those \nTemazcal Meeting Room: situations where\, when problems are large and complicated. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: there’s a real tendency to try and \nTemazcal Meeting Room: hope that they’ll go away or push them down the road or not. Address them right away. So I do think that’s something we need to figure out and \nTemazcal Meeting Room: happy to continue. Continue the conversation with you. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Maybe in regards to one of the questions that Staff asked about the strategy specifically. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I cannot. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: They are \nTemazcal Meeting Room: little open ended\, which I understand and I appreciate because it gives each jurisdiction the room to \nTemazcal Meeting Room: to find what is the right solution for their circumstances. So I appreciate that. I do wonder\, though\, if we would want to \nTemazcal Meeting Room: require \nTemazcal Meeting Room: or ask for \nTemazcal Meeting Room: measurements\, specific measurements of how they have implemented these. So\, for example\, if it’s they’ve increased coastal access. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: How many lineal feeder yards have they \nTemazcal Meeting Room: increased it by right? So that that way cumulatively over time\, we’ll be able to. If each plan is submitting their their responses in the same metrics\, we’ll actually be able to understand cumulatively the net effects of what’s being proposed\, and \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and what’s being accomplished\, which is really something we would want to celebrate. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: So that’s a suggestion. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: the other question about \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I guess. Super \nTemazcal Meeting Room: agencies\, agencies\, or organizations that are large infrastructure groups that are larger than a county \nTemazcal Meeting Room: such as Pg and E\, or others. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: is there a way \nTemazcal Meeting Room: to perhaps \nTemazcal Meeting Room: encourage or develop a working group with them so that they start developing a holistic plan. Because I can imagine at a certain point they’re gonna they’re gonna have. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: however\, many jurisdictions we’re talking about here\, coming at them with questions\, and it seems like \nTemazcal Meeting Room: giving them the heads up and asking them to start planning in advance would make their lives easier\, and it would certainly make the lives of each of the jurisdictions. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: it would almost sort of take that topic out of their their concern. It seems like that would be helpful to them. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Yeah\, I’ll just say we did. We started in February by convening a special districts Focus Group and gave them a heads up that this was coming. So a lot are prepared. And then our technical assistance program. We do intend to continue to kind of offer a venue so that those large entities can interface with multiple jurisdictions at once. So they don’t have to go out to\, you know\, it’s not like an ad hoc process. So that’s something we are \nTemazcal Meeting Room: planning on continuing in the technical assistance program. Great. So it’s like pretty high on our radar. I think of\, like what role Bcdc can play and maybe connecting those type of cross jurisdictional entities to each of their jurisdictions. It’s come up a lot in feedback. And so\, as we’re developing our ta and our capacity to be engaging and supportive\, that may be a really kind of may be a priority for us. Yeah\, great \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and then going back to the question about cumulative effects\, I’m not quite sure what the answer is there\, because it again sounds large and complicated. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: And you did mention tools and other ways that we might address it. Maybe a related question is\, will these plans require an Eir to go with them? \nTemazcal Meeting Room: It’s not a requirement that we will ask for in submission\, but it may be a requirement that’s determined locally for local adoption. So we’re leaving that up to the discretion of each individual city and county. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Okay. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: cause it does seem like \nTemazcal Meeting Room: a number of the things that you’re asking for\, and are maybe addressed in the comment letter we received \nTemazcal Meeting Room: are items that would come up under an eir\, so it might \nTemazcal Meeting Room: be in the jurisdiction. Jurisdictions\, interest to try and address them anyway\, because they it’s something that would come down the road. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I think\, short of an eir\, I think. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: this is this is topic that goes. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I’m not an expert in this\, but certainly just kind of paying attention over time. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: This is a topic that is not just about neighbors and flooding. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: It is about \nTemazcal Meeting Room: tides and currents and sedimentation patterns in the bay \nTemazcal Meeting Room: being changed by the change in the shoreline condition. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: So yeah. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: as an example\, you know\, I grew up on the east coast\, and I just remember \nTemazcal Meeting Room: somebody would put up a breakwater and 20 miles down the road the beach would disappear \nTemazcal Meeting Room: right? So it’s those kinds of effects that are \nTemazcal Meeting Room: anticipatable\, but often unfortunately unanticipated. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: So I do think it’s we should try to maybe develop a set of standards with somebody who really understands this topic. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: or at least guidelines or \nTemazcal Meeting Room: studies that should be required\, so that we understand because it would be unfortunate to have somebody say\, do a nature based solution down with marshlands in a certain region\, and then another city puts up. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: you know\, raises their grade that causes the current to shift\, and all of a sudden that that marshland is submerged. So I think. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: yeah\, that would be great. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Can I jump in on that topic a little bit for having? It’s okay that for us to discuss this\, I think. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: yeah\, I agree with you completely. And and \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and that’s where I think\, having a set of \nTemazcal Meeting Room: accepted \nTemazcal Meeting Room: engineering what I would call actually hydrogeomorphic projections \nTemazcal Meeting Room: of what the landscape will look like. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: With no action plus sea level rise. And you know the associated climate change and blood issues. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: You can project. We’ve done this for habitat projects. We’ve done this on some parts of the Pacific coast. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: So it’s doable \nTemazcal Meeting Room: where you actually say\, Okay\, this is where the bay looks now\, with 3 feet of sea lies. This is the way it’s gonna look. Assuming nobody does anything \nTemazcal Meeting Room: more than they’ve already done. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and and then you can look at\, and that can be a tool that communities can use or somebody can use for them. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: So you have an assessment of that you have confidence in as to what the implications are. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and if you just leave that to\, I think what you’re getting at is just leave that to the applicant or kind of leave it as something that’s not required. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: It may not happen\, or it may be done wrong. Right? Yeah\, absolutely. A lot of times. Things that are encouraged. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: limitations in funding or attention or expertise leads to them to not being looked at. And I think \nTemazcal Meeting Room: the the central tenant of this whole effort \nTemazcal Meeting Room: is around a comprehensive solution. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Based on allowing jurisdictions to find what’s best for them. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: But how do we make sure what’s best for them is best for everybody? Because I think ultimately that’s the goal\, the one vision goal\, right? \nTemazcal Meeting Room: So there’s the. There’s a hydrology of the bay. But I think there’s a lot of other topics\, such as \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Ecologies\, and and etc. Yeah. And and on that topic I don’t know that Bcdc. Will necessarily be able to referee that. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: But I think if the system and maybe Dcdc. Will\, I don’t know. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: but I think that if there’s a system set up where there’s some confidence in the projections\, whether somebody likes them or not. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: then I think there are other things like you say an eir or \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Yeah\, you know. The neighbors mayor talking to somebody other else\, you know. We’ll we’ll work that out. So I think. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: yeah\, I don’t think Bcdc can do everything\, although maybe you guys should. But I don’t know they’re doing really well. Anyway\, this seems like a really rich opportunity to incorporate this into a future like a future edit of this shoreline adaptation plan. I will also say we. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: even though these requirements seem really \nTemazcal Meeting Room: comprehensive and big and like impossible. These are cut down from what we originally included and wanted to include\, just in recognition of the fact that \nTemazcal Meeting Room: if we have. If we have everybody look at everything\, it’s going to take them 20 years to do a plan. And it’s going to be really onerous. So we’ve been really trying to toe the line between comprehensiveness and accessibility. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: And that’s 1 of the things that we’re kind of continually getting feedback on. So just thinking through how to make something like that be really accessible for for a user \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and incorporate it in a way that becomes second nature in the way people make decisions that that would be ideal. So I think it’d be great to continue to have those conversations about how we how we think that through. Yeah. And that’s exactly what I was thinking when I said I probably wouldn’t have any more specific like recommendations\, because \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I think the question was for me. Anyway\, I the 1st one\, was\, yeah\, I I support what you’ve done\, and I can accept it \nTemazcal Meeting Room: based on\, you know\, like support it \nTemazcal Meeting Room: based on the idea that there’s recognition that there’s going to be adaptation as this goes forward. And in particular\, I like the fact that there’s a specific opening \nTemazcal Meeting Room: for improved mapping \nTemazcal Meeting Room: that would help everyone. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: But that \nTemazcal Meeting Room: adaptation is 5 years away is that I mean. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: that’s what I’m concerned about the sequence that you’re getting these comments in that they’re too late. And then none of this is going to make it into the plan\, or that’s maybe that’s a question. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: or is the next update in 5 years? \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Yeah\, yeah\, I mean\, I had the same concern. But I I’ve kind of been in this world before. And and I’ve \nTemazcal Meeting Room: If if they have the deadline\, which I think they do\, I don’t know \nTemazcal Meeting Room: that I would mess with it much\, and just say\, you know\, we’re gonna learn as we go. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I mean\, it’s all about adaptation\, right? So we’re adapting our adaptation. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Or so \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I don’t know. That’s kind of my perspective. But I agree with you that yeah\, it’s I think it’s bigger conversation. I’m going to let others speak. But I I just want to say I mean\, the vision is beautiful\, you know. It’s uncomplicated when it’s a vision\, but when you get on the ground it’s actually \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I’m concerned that they’re they’re \nTemazcal Meeting Room: well\, I don’t know. Is there a focus on short term actions? That’s really my \nTemazcal Meeting Room: issue\, like\, what do you do tomorrow? And that’s why I raised the issue of the levies of all the cities \nTemazcal Meeting Room: in the South Bay. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: The only projects we’ve reviewed in the last 2 years are San Mateo County\, where the problem is the worst\, and the go to solution is riprap and levees. Not. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: as in your plan. I think you refer to hard infrastructure and show nice little bay trail\, elevated 5 feet or something like that. But these are like these 20 foot walls that are going up in the South Bay \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and Foster City building 20 foot wall\, so that the homes no longer have\, you know\, view of the of the bay at all. So for a handful of citizens. They’re completely \nTemazcal Meeting Room: making huge impacts on the bay. And I’m just wondering\, like\, what are we doing about that? I didn’t see that \nTemazcal Meeting Room: in the plan. And to me. That’s the most critical thing\, because I think we all agree on the vision. I’m not minimizing the work that you’ve done. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: But I but I think that \nTemazcal Meeting Room: time is of the essence \nTemazcal Meeting Room: on that\, and what you know\, because I think it is\, it is pretty easy to just push it out there. It’s like this is the vision and and then you don’t have to do anything\, because that’s that’s tomorrow is somebody else’s problem. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: anyway\, Kristen. You said you had a comment. Well\, that’s it’s building on exactly what you just said. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I actually think this whole. I I look at this as quite similar to Mtcabags. Plan Bay Area. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: And when that 1st came out everyone was like the regional housing needs assessment. How will it ever work? How will we ever meet these mandates? \nTemazcal Meeting Room: There’s too much planning that needs to be done. There’s too many obstacles. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and I think what we’ve seen is just by starting \nTemazcal Meeting Room: to quantify\, to identify tiers\, to identify targets\, to quantify. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: You know\, opportunities that each city needs to kind of really look at what they have. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: what’s possible. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: It started off. I mean the 1st iteration of it had no teeth right? \nTemazcal Meeting Room: And now we have all of these laws coming down from the State. You have to meet Rena\, Hcd. Saying you are. I’m sorry. This is you’re not actually meeting Rena. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: You know this strategy isn’t going to get you there and having more teeth. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and it might take us too long to get there. I mean\, just we have a collective action problem in the Us. You know\, this is just the \nTemazcal Meeting Room: nature of our democracy \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and our culture and our society. But I do think that this is a really really good start. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I think\, requiring jurisdictions to\, as you called it. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: You had a great term for it. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: You said it’s a \nTemazcal Meeting Room: risk disclosure\, or whatever you say\, I wrote it down\, but I can’t find right now. But in order to really\, you know\, disclose what are the risks that we’re all facing\, and \nTemazcal Meeting Room: then we can’t back away from it. We may not get there in 5 years. We may not get there in 10 years\, probably a lot of property will be lost. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: But so far \nTemazcal Meeting Room: this is. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: you know\, this is the best model that we have to do regional planning in an area where regional planning is really tricky. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and it turns out the local jurisdictions are the place to do this kind of work because you can work closest with the community. You can do those kind of trade-offs \nTemazcal Meeting Room: more closely\, you can build capacity \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and you can actually \nTemazcal Meeting Room: implement projects at that scale that that are very hard for us to do regionally\, unfortunately. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and I would just say\, \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Also\, the great is the enemy of the good\, you know. And so I think this is a really great start. I have a lot of thoughts about \nTemazcal Meeting Room: simplifying and questions about kind of like\, what’s the right level of \nTemazcal Meeting Room: goals to target and action to target from this plan. But I do think \nTemazcal Meeting Room: you know\, coupling it with funding. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: figuring out how to fund it. It could be a really effective start\, anyway. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: can I? Can I? Can. I add on to that? I just wanna \nTemazcal Meeting Room: tell you guys a quick story. I gave a presentation to a community \nTemazcal Meeting Room: down on the coast \nTemazcal Meeting Room: about some issues and adaptation\, and I decided to make my presentation \nTemazcal Meeting Room: about 40 min or 50 min long. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: because I wanted them to feel \nTemazcal Meeting Room: how difficult it’s going to be \nTemazcal Meeting Room: to get through all this. And if \nTemazcal Meeting Room: people told me\, you know\, you should just be really quick and tell them what you think and what you want and push on that. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: And the thing is we don’t really. It’s not up to one of us. I mean\, this is a process. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: And \nTemazcal Meeting Room: that’s where I think. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: the added\, the Rsap \nTemazcal Meeting Room: could be a framework where some of these processes are developed like\, I always thought that \nTemazcal Meeting Room: or I have thought recently that a redevelopment type concept. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I know we don’t do redevelopment anymore\, but a redevelopment type concept where there’s some \nTemazcal Meeting Room: funding financing that way. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and you can maybe move people that way\, or if it place gets blighted\, so to speak\, for whatever unfortunate reason\, there’s a way to help people \nTemazcal Meeting Room: or help \nTemazcal Meeting Room: businesses. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: So I mean\, I think there may be ways of \nTemazcal Meeting Room: it’s hard to turn a ship this quick\, so to speak. I think I think that’s the fundamental. And then\, of course\, people don’t want to. They just want to sit in their lounge chair and drink a Mai tai or something. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I’m wondering \nTemazcal Meeting Room: on this question of \nTemazcal Meeting Room: timeframe. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: The deadline for the plan is 10 years. Is there any way \nTemazcal Meeting Room: to \nTemazcal Meeting Room: encourage request? Require \nTemazcal Meeting Room: a 30%\, 60% or a 50% submission on the reports. The idea that they’re going to submit a plan \nTemazcal Meeting Room: all at once and have it reviewed\, and to maybe receive comment and \nTemazcal Meeting Room: find that they’re not adequate. And then suddenly\, they’re at risk of missing deadlines. Seems like \nTemazcal Meeting Room: what we really should be doing is working with working with them\, and I know that there’s funding available now to try and encourage that. But I don’t know if that’s enough for everybody. And \nTemazcal Meeting Room: what happens when it runs out? Does everybody again just sort of say\, well. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: well\, we’ll let the the next \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Then the next election cycle take care of it. I had a similar thought about this\, which was what if you took maybe 2 thirds of the planning out of this. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and what you had was in 5 years\, or whatever the 3 years. I don’t know what the right time horizon is. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: You have to do the analysis\, and \nTemazcal Meeting Room: a next steps a series of next steps\, like one of the things in there is to do. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: a land use. What is it? \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Let me get this right \nTemazcal Meeting Room: short and long term land use changes identifying what the short and long term land use. Changes would be required to implement this. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I mean\, that could take a city \nTemazcal Meeting Room: 5 years to figure out\, especially through a public input process. You know\, working. That’s there’s so much potential \nTemazcal Meeting Room: value \nTemazcal Meeting Room: of land at stake with that question right? And and how do you determine who gets to build and who gets has to retreat? And \nTemazcal Meeting Room: you gotta work with Caltrans and all of that. And so I’m wondering some of those things. It’s like\, what if a lot of the kind of plans that \nTemazcal Meeting Room: cities that like Stefan and I will have worked with on the with about cities working on their housing elements is like \nTemazcal Meeting Room: you have to identify kind of all the risks and the kind of state of things\, and then you have to come up with a strategy of what are the next steps that you need to do? And maybe one of their next steps would be \nTemazcal Meeting Room: determine a land use\, plan that grapples with these risks rather than having to do that within this document. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: And so\, instead of trying to do all of it in 10 years. You’re trying to do the most important fact\, finding and kind of grappling with the facts and \nTemazcal Meeting Room: having the conversations \nTemazcal Meeting Room: about how you might start to think about this in the next 3 years. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and then based on that. Then maybe there’s another set of strategies or something after that\, and you’ll have a better sense of like what all these jurisdictions are looking at. How many of them really do need to do\, Major? Down zonings. How many of them really are having major problems with like Caltrans not wanting to do \nTemazcal Meeting Room: upland migration or sediment\, you know\, whatever. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: And then you’ll have a better sense of how to support these different jurisdictions\, moving forward \nTemazcal Meeting Room: rather than kind of asking them to do these huge pieces of planning work \nTemazcal Meeting Room: that require really so much community engagement \nTemazcal Meeting Room: when they already are going to have to do so much work to just try to understand the kind of technical aspects of. I mean\, I’ve been working in this kind of \nTemazcal Meeting Room: the level Rise space for 10 years\, and every time Bob says something I’m like learning something new. You know\, it’s like a really complicated topic. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and to expect cities to be able to wrap their heads around these things and come up with \nTemazcal Meeting Room: not just come up with a plan for what to do next. But like \nTemazcal Meeting Room: talk to the community about what are the zoning changes? All of that. It’s incredibly onerous. I can understand how these cities would think that that’s really overwhelming. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I will say that a lot of our requirements are actually\, when you actually look at the submittal standards. They’re pretty lightweight. They are intended to really just get people thinking about certain topic areas and telling us how they’ve thought it through. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: So the land use and policy plan. You know\, you could say\, like. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: this is in our next steps like we need to\, we need to develop a more robust land use and policy plan. A lot of our submittals are described how you’ve thought about this this thing. So we have tried to kind of dial back. You know the the submittals that you would need to have figured out\, and I’ll also say that even though we’re not doing interim kind of submittals over time and phasing the the how people turn in their plans. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I think that the plan that we’re setting up for technical assistance and consultations is sort of unofficially doing that we’re going to start doing outreach to cities and counties who haven’t started their plans in a certain time. You know\, we’re going to check in with people on a very regular basis. We’re going to look at each of the pieces that they’re working on as they do it\, so that they don’t have to do the whole process \nTemazcal Meeting Room: at once\, and then say\, Oh\, gosh! We did it wrong. So I think \nTemazcal Meeting Room: it’s not something that we necessarily wanted to put in a formal \nTemazcal Meeting Room: requirements in the in the plan itself\, because that’s part of our bay plan. And it’s it’s not as flexible to update\, but that in practice I think that the way that we will be engaging and learning from cities and counties is a lot more aligned with the process that you’re talking about \nTemazcal Meeting Room: anything. No\, I think that that makes sense. And I think you know as as it’s out for public review\, we’re also every time this happens we do our own internal review again\, because the fast moving process. So we’ve been kind of looking over all of that as well\, and trying to see where we can either add clarity. Where kind of we intended for this to be this like 1st step. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I think what’s challenging\, too\, is that different jurisdictions may be at different phases. So this may and I don’t know yet how that translate into into what we write in the document versus just how we assess and how we communicate. But there are some jurisdictions that maybe they have a plan\, and so maybe there is a more of a conversation about what is next. You know you’ve already kind of done a lot of that. Your community is set up differently than \nTemazcal Meeting Room: maybe a jurisdiction or a plan that comes in. And this is really just their 1st bite at the apple. So I think we’re thinking through that as well\, and that’s always been on our mind\, which is like the variety of land\, the variety of the Bay area. It’s a big shoreline 3rd of California’s coastline. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: And how do we standardize something and allow look like that nuance? So I think there’s some\, maybe clarification. And also just looking at the language itself and making sure that\, are we asking for more than we need? Or or where are we allowing for that like discretion \nTemazcal Meeting Room: in terms of what we’re asking for? \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I think the templates you described \nTemazcal Meeting Room: would probably be really helpful\, because when I read. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: you know\, \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Having describing the short and long term land use changes. I was like\, Oh\, my God\, I just can’t. I mean\, that takes \nTemazcal Meeting Room: that can take years with cities\, you know\, that can take. And that’s a huge I mean just talking about like up zoning along the Caltrain corridor \nTemazcal Meeting Room: like there’s in some cities. There’s ballot measures that you have to go through\, you know\, like there’s just so much process. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: And so if it’s not really asking them to make decisions about that or have a plan for that\, I think that is helpful to know. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Yeah\, one thing is\, we split the submittal requirements from the actual like plan requirements. And so you read the plan requirement. And you’re like\, oh\, my God\, that sounds! And then you can go several pages later and look at the submittal requirement and be like\, oh\, they just are asking for a couple of sentences. But I think maybe we did ourselves a little bit of a disservice by splitting those\, because then there isn’t the the link or that immediate \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Communication of the expectation of what? Of what we’re we actually mean by that. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Stefan\, do you want to comment? Yeah\, I really appreciate this discussion. And I want to say that on the \nTemazcal Meeting Room: positive side \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I think there is a lot of \nTemazcal Meeting Room: planning that’s been done \nTemazcal Meeting Room: through the lens of climate action plans. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: sustainable components of like general plan updates. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: But of course\, all that’s been done sort of in the bubble of an individual jurisdiction. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: And I can see a lot of incentive and value in encouraging jurisdictions to participate or collaborate. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Not only because \nTemazcal Meeting Room: some of those things could emerge as regional projects which could be more valuable. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: particularly if natural systems are involved. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: than individual jurisdictions\, saying\, to do levies\, for example\, to Gary’s point\, but also because\, for consistency reasons \nTemazcal Meeting Room: having fewer plans to administer. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: it’s like good for everybody. And that’s it. I \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I I trust that you have a handle on that\, because I know that there’s some places like San Mateo where there has been a real. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: a significant amount of \nTemazcal Meeting Room: cross jurisdictional collaboration around the shoreline. But there’s other places like Solano\, like where I would be like\, I have no idea what’s happening. So I’m gonna tell you my Marin county story. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: So \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I’m going to keep this short. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: But so\, Sb\, 2 gets adopted in 2017. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: And that’s basically right connecting funds for affordable housing. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Through real estate transaction tax. Sb. 35 gets adopted. The same year \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I had conversations with Abag\, Mtc. That year about the potential \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and State law was starting to require objective design standards for housing\, for ministerial housing projects\, but the potential for sort of regional \nTemazcal Meeting Room: zoning applications. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: So we spent 2 years having internal discussions. Is it possible? Are there any takers? \nTemazcal Meeting Room: All the jurisdictions we’re talking to is like\, no way. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Yeah\, we’re not. We’re not like other people. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: If you do something regional. It’s not going to be valuable. We can’t do this together with this other person\, because we’re just too different. Their zoning ordinances\, community commercial\, our zoning ordinances\, commercial community. It’s not the same thing. I know that the numbers are the same. There’s no way that we can collaborate with them. Lots of excuses. By 2019 we got the Marin jurisdictions to agree to do this together. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: It took a while. And there’s Marina’s \nTemazcal Meeting Room: is useful because 10 of the jurisdictions are the same size. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: And so there’s like some\, there’s\, there’s a similar geography where people can get in the same room and say\, oh\, we’re similar. So! And it. What was pushing that? There was that there was a county collab that had been created\, which you guys know about those which had been \nTemazcal Meeting Room: directed to collaborate on housing issues that were shared \nTemazcal Meeting Room: so \nTemazcal Meeting Room: 11 jurisdictions plus the county\, we got \nTemazcal Meeting Room: 10 of them\, plus the county to participate. One of them right away said\, I’m not going to do this with you. Of the 11 that participated \nTemazcal Meeting Room: we this was \nTemazcal Meeting Room: to fall back on \nTemazcal Meeting Room: the Mpo. Through State funding\, had created \nTemazcal Meeting Room: a whole library of technical assistance tools to say\, If you’re going to do this\, do it this way. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: And so they within that structure we got. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: We drafted a regional toolkit for these these 10 jurisdictions \nTemazcal Meeting Room: 5 of them agreed to adopt from that \nTemazcal Meeting Room: 2 of them \nTemazcal Meeting Room: subsequently agreed\, and are still working on it. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: And the other 3 said\, This is not us. We’re not going to do this. So if you took the reach like the regional lens in that county\, the goal would have been that there’s 1 \nTemazcal Meeting Room: solution that\, like the minimum number we’re getting is like 4 or 5. And this is like in the least populated\, most geographically similar \nTemazcal Meeting Room: sort of jurisdictional component. And I know that this is\, it’s a much different geography we’re talking about\, because we’re talking about a much more holistic and \nTemazcal Meeting Room: heterogeneous geography than what happens at the shoreline. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: But what that required to do that was one. We had to have \nTemazcal Meeting Room: really some regional champion or champions that was willing to take a leadership role among the jurisdictions. And we realized that that actually couldn’t be a consultant. It needed to be somebody who was local\, who was knowledgeable enough\, but also willing\, had the willingness to take that role. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: We also found that there was like no \nTemazcal Meeting Room: structure for interagency collaboration. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and that was also a situation where it was easy\, because the county controlled most of like right of ways and things like that. But that seems like it would be like a really important avenue \nTemazcal Meeting Room: to multi jurisdictional collaboration that the the agencies can come to the table. So if there’s a discussion of levies\, and there’s a lot of right-of-ways that are adjacent that are somehow out of the project description. There’s an opportunity to like mold those together. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: The other thing was like \nTemazcal Meeting Room: some ability to generate a common lexicon between jurisdictions. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: because we do have these \nTemazcal Meeting Room: superimposed systems like Plan Bay Area. But everybody has their own general plan. It’s their own nomenclature. And there’s this insistence that they are \nTemazcal Meeting Room: somehow unique and different \nTemazcal Meeting Room: even from their neighbor\, which that can’t be overcome through this process. But the process can actually either rely on \nTemazcal Meeting Room: or generate a common lexicon that those jurisdictions can use. And I think that actually is \nTemazcal Meeting Room: super important\, because that’s when they start to understand. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Oh\, we could do this together\, and we could collaborate together. On this effort. And if there’s things like \nTemazcal Meeting Room: common regulations that would emerge from this where you could get multiple jurisdictions to adopt us an overlay or something where the sea level rise. Impacts are going to apply. That would be huge benefit. To being able to do that. So part of that is maybe how you set up the process. The other part is like what is in the technical assistance. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Library to \nTemazcal Meeting Room: to implement that work? So I think all of those things \nTemazcal Meeting Room: is around answering this question of. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: maybe it’s question number 2 around sort of what the biggest challenges are\, and what sort of tools? I think might be helpful for \nTemazcal Meeting Room: land development. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Hey? Hey\, Stefan\, on that that was really interesting and useful \nTemazcal Meeting Room: to me. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: In that process. It sounds like it was. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: you know\, a very much\, a an attempt to to\, you know\, to collab\, get people to collaborate\, or\, you know\, municipalities to villages whatever to collaborate. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Was there? Were there any like sticks or or constraints that that would\, you know\, kind of help people collaborate. Was there anything that came out of that? Or was all just like what people? \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Yeah\, I mean\, this gets to Christian’s point\, that\, you know\, like state law was basically mandating that you needed to have these tools in place \nTemazcal Meeting Room: by a certain time. Otherwise\, you know\, there was \nTemazcal Meeting Room: like ministerial approval was required. So it’s like\, if you didn’t have objective design standards and you had a project that was proposed. You just needed to approve it \nTemazcal Meeting Room: if it wasn’t in place. So there was a timeline. And because of the state mandate. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: the community outreach process \nTemazcal Meeting Room: could be really minimized. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Because what are we really? There was very little \nTemazcal Meeting Room: asking their opinion\, and more about informing them about the process\, because again it was responding to a state mandate. But even with those 2 very heavy \nTemazcal Meeting Room: 6 we’re still talking about like a 7 year timeframe \nTemazcal Meeting Room: to. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I would say\, get to sort of like a majority success in sort of implementing that \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and I think \nTemazcal Meeting Room: that that \nTemazcal Meeting Room: what the value that you would have here is that there’s these \nTemazcal Meeting Room: critical \nTemazcal Meeting Room: pieces of infrastructure that somebody has already \nTemazcal Meeting Room: the process for funding and improving and making that resilient is already in place before these individual subregional plans \nTemazcal Meeting Room: are going to be drafted\, and so that all that low hanging fruit in the implementation plan \nTemazcal Meeting Room: there ideally is already a structure in place to actually make sure that that gets built and funded \nTemazcal Meeting Room: all of the short term sort of year 0 stuff \nTemazcal Meeting Room: that all the plans would reflect. It doesn’t have to wait for these plans \nTemazcal Meeting Room: in order to implement that. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: But I think the opportunity in my mind to your point is like \nTemazcal Meeting Room: where you can get to a better natural solution. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: The regional collaboration \nTemazcal Meeting Room: we? We don’t have a good model for that. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: And the \nTemazcal Meeting Room: ask if our efforts here and on the East coast \nTemazcal Meeting Room: sort of resulted in the \nTemazcal Meeting Room: sort of a \nTemazcal Meeting Room: like. The lowest common denominator solution is sort of ultimately what what gets built. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I mean\, I think in my mind like\, that’s a big \nTemazcal Meeting Room: concern. If we’re looking at this critical like\, what can we do between now and 2050\, \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and to like be really \nTemazcal Meeting Room: innovative and like\, what? What can we do as planners to \nTemazcal Meeting Room: fear the process \nTemazcal Meeting Room: away from the \nTemazcal Meeting Room: you know the the 35 mile levee wall\, you know\, or whatever it is\, and and towards sort of like really innovative nature. Yeah\, I really share the concern about how we’re locking the shoreline into place\, as I’ve mentioned before. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and you know. But I just. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I think \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I think this to your point. I think this probably will require \nTemazcal Meeting Room: some \nTemazcal Meeting Room: additional work at the regional level \nTemazcal Meeting Room: to guide\, and if not coax or even \nTemazcal Meeting Room: strongly encourage \nTemazcal Meeting Room: people to play together\, to try to result in a regional \nTemazcal Meeting Room: adaptation plan. Regional planning. It’s \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I haven’t seen it done yet actually on the Pacific Coast. We started talking about it in Monterey\, Southern Monterey Bay\, around \nTemazcal Meeting Room: 2\,008 or \nTemazcal Meeting Room: before that\, but anyway\, still hasn’t happened really completely yet. Last point that I wanted to make\, which is also sort of like heavy on my mind\, is that one of the things that slowed the implementation \nTemazcal Meeting Room: was literally just around capacity. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and that the long range planners who are the best empowered to \nTemazcal Meeting Room: enable this kind of work \nTemazcal Meeting Room: on the jurisdictional side. They were all preoccupied with their State mandates to \nTemazcal Meeting Room: update their housing element. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and in many and in many cities\, because of\, like the \nTemazcal Meeting Room: the gravity of that situation. State mandates around the timelines. They were sucking all of their resources\, you know\, in long range planning in most of these jurisdictions is maybe one full time person. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and they are spending all they’re spending all their time sort of preoccupied with \nTemazcal Meeting Room: the other stuff that was mandated by state\, which really sort of \nTemazcal Meeting Room: it really limited the capacity to focus on a \nTemazcal Meeting Room: equally significant long range planning effort. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: And so that’s in my mind\, like on the technical assistance side. If there are not everything from \nTemazcal Meeting Room: resources that existing planners can obtain to \nTemazcal Meeting Room: actual planners that can sort of go into these jurisdictions to help implement these things\, it would help for a more successful outcome on the 2034 timeline. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Thank you for listening. I know that was really long\, so I appreciate the chance to talk about this. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Yeah. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: well\, I think \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I think that’s really I think that’s really good \nTemazcal Meeting Room: example of how this could play out. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I also think Bcdc. Has a unique \nTemazcal Meeting Room: opportunity \nTemazcal Meeting Room: with the permitting requirements that \nTemazcal Meeting Room: gives sort of regional teeth. And one of my\, you know\, I work with a lot of private developers on waterfront sites. And \nTemazcal Meeting Room: the thing that I’ve learned about working with developers is they just want certainty. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: They just want to know what the requirements are. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and I think we’ve talked a lot on this board about 24 inches. Is it really enough? \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I think this plan clearly indicates it’s not \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and I think just like if there was more clarity \nTemazcal Meeting Room: from Bcdc. Around things like \nTemazcal Meeting Room: like we\, how many slews have we seen where the strategy for public access was to harden the edge. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Right? We know that that’s not the ideal solution. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: We know that a more natural solution is desired. But there’s this sort of like blunt \nTemazcal Meeting Room: requirement for public access that butts up against the property line and the feasible development of a site. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: And therefore we get this hardened edge. And it’s just that on this very piecemeal basis. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: And the bay plan itself does have \nTemazcal Meeting Room: requirements for things like this is a recreation area. And this is a protected wetland. And I wonder if \nTemazcal Meeting Room: the Bay plan could actually just do some of this work that Bob was talking about of kind of looking at the bigger picture and identifying places where \nTemazcal Meeting Room: there\, or maybe updating. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I mean\, I don’t know how frequently it’s updated\, but \nTemazcal Meeting Room: or clarifying or increasing the numbers\, or whatever it is around\, kind of bigger picture strategies\, so that when a developer goes to acquire a piece of land \nTemazcal Meeting Room: they go. Oh\, you know\, this is like\, got a requirement for a soft waterfront\, and it’s also got this access requirement and \nTemazcal Meeting Room: 6 and a half feet. I got a plan\, for they have someone do a quick back of the envelope for them and they go. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: This site’s not developable. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Just so they have certainty ahead of time about what the requirements are\, rather than all of us kind of trying to \nTemazcal Meeting Room: gently or not\, so gently push them in a different direction when the site just won’t let them. Right? \nTemazcal Meeting Room: So I do think the permitting requirement is a really special tool that Bcdc has \nTemazcal Meeting Room: to take those kind of priority areas where we maybe really want to lose that carry sediment that are really\, you know\, the kind of \nTemazcal Meeting Room: how do you prioritize these places? How do we think about? You know the wave echoes and things like that kind of in this bigger picture\, and have more like clear strategies that are \nTemazcal Meeting Room: with higher levels of sea level rise anticipated\, and taking into account all of these things in a regional way\, so that when cities go to do their plans they can see that the Bay Plan says \nTemazcal Meeting Room: this slew is really not a place for channelization. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Full stop. And I think that’s a really unique opportunity that Bcdc. Has that \nTemazcal Meeting Room: there was\, you know. Mtc. And Abag don’t have that. They didn’t have that. And now Hcd. Has teeth\, but it took 20 years to get there 15 or whatever it was\, you know. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: So \nTemazcal Meeting Room: we’re really behind that. You know\, the Bcdc’s mandate is \nTemazcal Meeting Room: no bay fill and maximize public access. So there’s a lot that we can’t require at this point or deny at this point\, as long as you meet kind of those those mandates. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: This is what we’re looking at really diving deeper into\, so that we can make sure that our plans are reinforced by our permitting policies. But we’re not. We’re not. It’s going to take a little bit of time to get to that point. I thought the bay the Bay Fill rule was had been reconsidered. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: There’s possible with a Bay plan. Amendment in 2019 was built for habitat. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: So there is some consideration of the trade off between habitat. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: rebuilding habitats and bay fill. Yeah\, you’re correct. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Well. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I don’t. I don’t know what the answer is\, but I think\, after 10 years of reviewing projects that I would say 90% of what you know. What we’ve ever seen is riprap and \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and levees. I don’t think we’ve ever. In fact\, I’ll say that we have never seen \nTemazcal Meeting Room: the project we’re looking for until we reviewed the Alameda project\, the deep Pave park. Okay? \nTemazcal Meeting Room: And so I want to suggest that included in the report is case studies \nTemazcal Meeting Room: of successful examples \nTemazcal Meeting Room: around the bay that you can point to\, because I I think the whole thing is. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: you know\, I mean\, it’s it’s actually very frustrating to see how people interpret \nTemazcal Meeting Room: our feedback. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: So I will take Mission Rock Park\, for example\, as as an example. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: mission rock Park was planned\, as you know\, by the former chair of the Bcdc. Design Review Board \nTemazcal Meeting Room: best firms in the world\, and they did a great job. They had an incredible landscape architect. We approved the park. We saw it many times. They raised the site 7 feet. They did all these model things. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and I think a lot of that \nTemazcal Meeting Room: was looking good because there was this idea to create this soft shoreline. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: to step the park down into the bay\, and they hire\, you know. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: well-known landscape architect who’s known in New York City for doing similar work \nTemazcal Meeting Room: at the end of the day I watched that park get built. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: You go out there. It’s a riprap shore. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Okay\, they raise the side 10 feet. It’s nothing but a levee\, and the 1st thing they did was pour \nTemazcal Meeting Room: so much concrete would never believe it. I mean concrete\, like 4\, 5\, 6 feet thick over that entire site. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: After they poured the concrete they put in foam blocks another whatever 6 feet of foam stacked up. I don’t know if you were there to actually witness this miracle of engineering. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and then a cap of soil \nTemazcal Meeting Room: which was somewhere between\, you know. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: 2 feet and 4 feet or something\, and brought in big trees. But it’s it’s all just. It’s a terrarium. It’s a raised planter box\, that’s all it is\, and it looks beautiful\, and it’s a success\, and we can all declare it a wonderful triumph. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: You know it’s like the best one of the best developers in the United States\, Tishman from New York City\, with the giants putting up\, you know\, their land and port \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and you know. Somehow I don’t know why\, but it didn’t happen. You know. They pulled back. There’s the money. There’s all the things you’ve probably been\, you know\, probably ran into a lot of logistical jurisdictional problems trying to implement that I call it. I use the analogy of\, have you ever driven a 4 wheel drive off road in the mountains where there’s logging trails. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I did that one time\, and my fear was that I would \nTemazcal Meeting Room: slide into the ruts that were so deep that my truck would just get ice centers. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Unfortunately\, we have these institutional practices where? And a lot of it’s engineering you. You just end up in a rut\, you know. It’s like \nTemazcal Meeting Room: they probably spent a lot of money on that\, too. I haven’t looked at it myself. But \nTemazcal Meeting Room: yeah\, the engine\, you know it’s the flip side of of getting engineers involved sometimes that they just are really concerned about risk. And \nTemazcal Meeting Room: yeah\, overdo it. You know\, it works for people. The park is\, you know\, everybody loves it. But \nTemazcal Meeting Room: the issues that we’re talking about here is try to hard to imagine how this plan\, you know\, disrupts that that process because we’ve seen it over and over again. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: So I\, I personally feel like that. They’re the report is great\, and it’s better to get it out there than to not get it out there because it \nTemazcal Meeting Room: raises the bar\, gets people thinking about it. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: but at the same time I feel like \nTemazcal Meeting Room: it only really came to our attention a very short amount of time ago\, and I think it was a lot of information to absorb \nTemazcal Meeting Room: very quickly last time\, and we kind of got our toe in the water\, and you can see now that with this report that you put out all this detailed information. You’re getting very detailed feedback\, and I feel like it’s too rushed. I don’t know what we can do about that. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: But you know I \nTemazcal Meeting Room: if it was up to me\, or at least I would like to put on the table that there’s an interim meeting\, that instead of going from here to \nTemazcal Meeting Room: the Commission that that maybe there’s another interim meeting where Jacinta can attend\, and we can get Tom’s feedback and maybe try to make sense out of comments\, because \nTemazcal Meeting Room: the 1st thing I said when we got here is like\, you don’t want big picture comments right now\, do you? You know\, knowing about the dates\, but that’s what \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I mean. I try to stay quiet because I want to see what other people think. But I but I see that we’re getting a lot of big picture comments. So what do we do with that? I think it’s a question to you\, Ashley. Where where do we go from here. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I don’t think the calendar for adoption from the State law 2 72. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Allow us for an interim meeting\, just because it is going to the Commission next Thursday \nTemazcal Meeting Room: for their public hearing. The vote is in December. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and just with \nTemazcal Meeting Room: mailing notices 10 days in advance of a meeting like \nTemazcal Meeting Room: it is impossible. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: so we can’t have another meeting after the Commission. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Oh\, we can have a follow up meeting after \nTemazcal Meeting Room: maybe after it’s voted on before. This is before this document is released the end of the year. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: We don’t have the ability to take in comments after the end of the public comment period\, because we were doing everything we can to incorporate the public comment and put out the draft in time for the mailing for the December 5th meeting. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: So it’s at at for this draft at least. The the door closes next next week. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: If you think it’s fast for you. Imagine being the ones trying to write this and meet a legislative deadline. So we we. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Larry. One of Larry’s favorite lines is that we know we’re going to get it wrong the 1st time\, and I don’t necessarily think it’s wrong per se. But there is definitely recognition that there’s lots that we still need to work out. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: And this is our first.st This is our 1st version of it. And when we’re going to learn a lot from cities and counties as they as they work through these plans. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: We’re going to learn a lot from our commissioners and from you\, and from the process that we go through to look at how we better link these plans to our \nTemazcal Meeting Room: to our permitting authorities. So we’re very much in recognition that this is fast for everybody. It was. It was something we were mandated to do in this timeline. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and that we’re going to be working on this for for many years to come. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: So could we. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: if we want to make a recommendation. W. Would it be that this process continues after this\, Rsap is continued \nTemazcal Meeting Room: because the Rsap in and of itself \nTemazcal Meeting Room: is about adaptation. So the art Rsap could be adapted. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: And in particular. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: what’s that every 5 years? \nTemazcal Meeting Room: What is that? The Rsap or the sub-regional rsaps? \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Yeah\, we’ve committed to updating the guidelines every 5 years. We don’t want to be. We don’t want to keep moving the needle. So we’re trying to find the the boundary between putting something out there that is not constantly shifting and changing and being timely enough to incorporate \nTemazcal Meeting Room: thought is\, if you can’t go straight\, then you go around something. So \nTemazcal Meeting Room: what what about it? Having \nTemazcal Meeting Room: the recognition that there could be amendments or additional tools provided \nTemazcal Meeting Room: from a regional perspective to inform the rcaps. And this is like the map thing that I was talking about and maybe getting charged to help with some of these issues\, you know\, like a flood control group or something. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and and that we would recommend that the Drb. If not the ecrb as well. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Maybe participate in that process. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: or or we would support. I don’t know. What do you think of that? \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Actually\, I have a a similar kind of thought\, which is\, there’s a huge gap in knowledge\, right in terms like the cities that are going to be \nTemazcal Meeting Room: doing this planning. There’s so much to learn about sea level rise\, and \nTemazcal Meeting Room: even just the maps that you’ve asked\, I think\, are going to be like a huge. You know\, a lot of these cities are like\, I don’t even really understand what this map is about. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I think in the way that you roll this out and roll out the technical assistance. There’s a huge opportunity there \nTemazcal Meeting Room: to \nTemazcal Meeting Room: have sort of like \nTemazcal Meeting Room: advocacy or directionality in terms of \nTemazcal Meeting Room: that big picture thinking and the major opportunities that each of these jurisdictions have in order to think about things like sedimentation and green infrastructure. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: And maybe that’s a way through the technical assistance and through. You know all the different ways that you’re going to be working with these jurisdictions to like really \nTemazcal Meeting Room: point them in the right direction. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Yeah\, that’s what I was going to say. Things like case studies and templates. That’s all part of the technical assistance program. Because we didn’t. We actually intentionally stripped those out of this because it is a Bay Plan amendment. And therefore it can’t be updated on a regular basis. But the Ta program can. We can add in\, you know\, all the other things that we want people to know that we want people to consider different tools\, different examples like\, that’s the flexible portion of this. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: the the amendment. The Bay Plan Amendment itself is a lot less flexible just because it’s it because of the process that we need to go through to get to it. But the you’re you’re you’re totally right there that the technical assistance program is. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: you know\, that’s where we can adjust. That’s where we can be nimble. That’s where we can reflect what we’re hearing from cities and counties. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: And I think also\, what I’m trying to say is \nTemazcal Meeting Room: that’s also a place where you can \nTemazcal Meeting Room: provide a lot more information and advocacy towards the kind of \nTemazcal Meeting Room: maybe not the 1st strategies off the rank of the levies and the the hard infrastructure. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and really \nTemazcal Meeting Room: like\, provide enough support that they can understand what this would mean. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: And then\, if there’s a way later down the line for the Bay plan\, or the permitting authority to be able to be implementing some of those things at that higher level. I think that’s really \nTemazcal Meeting Room: a major opportunity. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I think. Also\, Stefan\, what you mentioned about having enough staff resources. I think that for you guys. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: you know\, if you’re going to be reviewing all of these plans and giving all this technical capacity. That’s a huge lift for staff. And I think that’s important to consider. I mean\, I probably don’t have to tell you guys that. But whoever it is\, Larry\, if you’re listening. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: You you guys are going to need to a lot of support in order to help pull this off also. Yeah. So we did get a a budget allocation over the next 3 years\, for it’s for 15 staff. 6 are replacing grant funded staff. So we have 9 new staff positions for this. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and they will be distributed kind of throughout the agency to help support this from from different departments\, including we have. We’re hiring a new lawyer to to help us with this. And \nTemazcal Meeting Room: so Gary. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: with your desire to see \nTemazcal Meeting Room: this in the future. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: would bringing back the technical assistance program as a way for the Drb. To review the recommendations\, and how staff are moving forward with the plans. Satisfy \nTemazcal Meeting Room: your need to see it again \nTemazcal Meeting Room: before 5 years are you talking about between now and the end of the year? Or you’re talking about over the next 5 years? I don’t think \nTemazcal Meeting Room: another meeting in 2024 is in the cards. Yeah. But I mean this technical assistance thing. But the technical assistance is not really about. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: So if we brought the technical assistance program to you guys for guidance. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Would that satisfy your need to see it again? \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Sure\, I I think that’s yeah. We should do whatever is the best thing we can. We can do. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Yeah. But are you saying that’s a 5 year process. So we would work on the I don’t. I don’t know what’s the relationship between these \nTemazcal Meeting Room: documents. You’re saying the technical assistance \nTemazcal Meeting Room: program can be implemented immediately. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Yeah. So we have a consultant right now\, who’s developing a work plan for us. That we will receive in January\, and then we will start. It will be something that will build over time. But we’ll open\, you know. Open the doors and hang our our sign early next year. And then that that ta program will start with a sort of basic set\, a basic management structure and a basic set of resources. And then just continue to to grow that over time. So \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and that is\, you know\, like\, like the the Dta program\, is any tool\, any guidance\, any interpretation? Any connections that we can make facilitation that helps to apply these guidelines. So there’s lots of opportunity there. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Yeah. So that you said\, you can include case studies in that. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I think that’s a good idea. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: What about the \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Leo’s suggestion of having stages of submission for the subregional plans. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Is that something that \nTemazcal Meeting Room: anyone else would like to? Leo asked me to raise that\, and I think it’s a good idea. But I’m not a planner\, so I don’t know if you have on that\, or if it’s something that \nTemazcal Meeting Room: can be amended into the \nTemazcal Meeting Room: adaptation plan at this stage \nTemazcal Meeting Room: we likely wouldn’t have the Commission approve various phases of the plan that would just come at the at the end. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: But it’s you know\, we could be open to having an interim deadline interim reviews. Yeah\, they don’t. I don’t think they have. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Yeah\, I mean\, that is incorporated into the process with the required staff check-ins at least 3. We don’t. We could add some definition about what each of those check-ins needs to cover and what people should come prepared to to submit. But there’s only going to be one approval by the Commission. So. But but I think that’s consistent with what I’ve seen on the Pacific coast with the Coastal Commission is that there’s \nTemazcal Meeting Room: yeah. The whole set setup includes \nTemazcal Meeting Room: benchmarks where there’s at least a public meeting. Maybe a technical advisory committee\, or\, you know\, different groups meet \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and the staff might pay. Yeah\, participate or listen\, and then \nTemazcal Meeting Room: have a direct communication. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I I guess\, as needed\, but probably you know\, at that benchmark to see if things like. If they decide that. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: you know groundwater is not an issue\, or I don’t know something\, you know\, that would be probably something that wouldn’t get too far. Or if it’s that that’s kind of a \nTemazcal Meeting Room: overplayed example. But \nTemazcal Meeting Room: it sounds like you would have \nTemazcal Meeting Room: intermediates the middles is part of the scope of work for the sub regional or set regional plans. Right? \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Benchmarks. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Yeah. I mean\, there are various deliverables included in the submittal plan requirements\, and so we could easily kind of break those up into benchmarks that align with consultations. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: What I heard is\, and that’s what my experience has been\, because you want to catch people before they’re done. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: If they’re on the wrong path. Yeah\, yeah. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: And I just want Jackie needs to run and catch the last ferry so I can. I’m happy to stay a little bit longer. But \nTemazcal Meeting Room: if you have any last minute thoughts for Jackie\, now’s the time. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Okay\, just thank you. I’m just trying to limit our comments at this point to things that are actually going to be useful for you. You know I think you you understand the kind of conversation that it raised\, and I think people are very appreciative of all the work you’ve done. And I think we’re \nTemazcal Meeting Room: we need to get this document out there into the world. But but is there anything else that \nTemazcal Meeting Room: that are that would be considered to be very useful comments that would actually be incorporated into the \nTemazcal Meeting Room: document before. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: It is completed that you have time to do that. I mean\, you basically have a week or something. Is that right? Or you have? Oh\, we have. We have time after the public comment period. Another update. Right? But I I do feel like we’ve gotten some really great thoughts from you all today some things that I think we can \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and think about incorporating in a lot of things that I think are going to be continued conversation were raised today\, and that we can continue to do that with you. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: either in discussing the Ta program or with our rising Sea Level Commissioner working group that’s talking. That’s going to be talking about like how we change our underlying laws and policies. So I certainly think there’s a lot more room for conversation. I think you raised a lot more\, a lot of things that are not easily resolved. And that’s okay. That’s good. You know\, we we knew \nTemazcal Meeting Room: we know already that there are a lot of things that fall into that category\, but I do feel\, at least in my notes. I have some some things that are applicable in this in the next draft that’s going to be coming to the Commission. So \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I think it’d be helpful for us for our for feedback to just know of the things that you heard\, which ones \nTemazcal Meeting Room: our our \nTemazcal Meeting Room: useful\, and which ones would be addressed in this document before the end of the year. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and then which ones could be placed in some other. You know there’s another mechanism to deal with the other comments\, and then maybe there’s other things you heard that just like there is no \nTemazcal Meeting Room: resolution for\, or something like that where we just \nTemazcal Meeting Room: put it aside or something. But I think it’s a \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I think this conversation is. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: would be good for \nTemazcal Meeting Room: for all the Board members to revisit\, like what was the impact of us having \nTemazcal Meeting Room: reviewed all this and told you\, and then what did what it did? It have any effect\, you know\, and if not\, why\, what do we do better\, you know\, next time \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and and then for future board members\, you know. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I think \nTemazcal Meeting Room: we don’t want to lose track of this. Well\, we do have a much more transparent \nTemazcal Meeting Room: public comment and response \nTemazcal Meeting Room: process set up because this is a mandated public comment. So we are tracking every single comment. And\, as I said earlier\, this doesn’t count as official public comment for Bcdc. But we’re tracking internal comments as well. And you all are considered internal comments. So we’re organizing all the responses that we get and how we’re and how we’re going to respond to them. So that’s certainly something we could provide. Bcdc staff and and board members make public comments \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and staff. We asked to submit internally. But you all are not Bcdc. Staff\, even though you’re on an advisory board. So you you are welcome to provide official public comment. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I asked my friends to tell me all the things like secretly before before they set. Say it out to the world. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Yeah\, no worries. I’m wrapping up. I think it’s fine. Yeah\, thanks a lot. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: It. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I just have one\, maybe concluding comment. And I think maybe my previous comment shows like what I’m preoccupied of what keeps me up at night. But I I think the \nTemazcal Meeting Room: that \nTemazcal Meeting Room: technical nature of this of this document which I think is really to be commended because it’s really complicated. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: And the response from Alameda \nTemazcal Meeting Room: that sort of \nTemazcal Meeting Room: says to me that the successful implementation of this will be in fewer. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: fewer plans that can accommodate a higher degree of complexity and the ability to respond to the checklist \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and and more. And so I think. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: at given \nTemazcal Meeting Room: the planning situation that we have\, I would just want to make sure that there is a mechanism in place to \nTemazcal Meeting Room: steer this towards successful implementation. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and to like\, not let it get caught up in that. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: The the sound that individual jurisdictions will make to say\, this is too complicated. I don’t want to have to do this because of the complexity of what you’re asking me to do. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I have a couple of thoughts before you conclude. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: before we conclude he’s a concluding thoughts. So. But 2 of them are maybe ideas for support\, and 3 are just like annoying\, pedantic details. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I was wondering I was as I was reading it. I was thinking\, maybe if you created cohorts of cities that were kind of moving through the process at the same time who had similar issues. They could do \nTemazcal Meeting Room: kind of peer support. That’s something that \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Abag did with. They created a set of objective standards as kind of a catch-all that cities could adopt. But also they had \nTemazcal Meeting Room: a lot of meetings between similar cities where and it was helpful for them to be able to talk to each other about. How did you address this? How did you address that? So that might be a way to kind of give a lot of support to folks who you’re anticipating are going to have similar kind of issues. Maybe you’ve already thought about this. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I also really really think the idea of having a stepwise approach like these are the things we would like you to bring to the 1st meeting with Bcdc. These are the things we’d like you to bring to the second\, and these are the 3\, rd \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I think\, clarifying that for cities will really help them understand \nTemazcal Meeting Room: the \nTemazcal Meeting Room: The best way to engage with you all\, but also it’ll help them write their scope for consultants\, because they’re gonna have to hire a lot of consultants to do this work. So if you can give them that and kind of expected timelines\, the extent that you can kind of spoon\, feed them. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: scope for their rfps\, I think would be really helpful\, especially because a lot of them probably don’t have expertise in. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: You know. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: this kind of\, you know\, work. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Okay\, those are my 2 ideas. And then here’s my 3 pedantic things. I’m sorry. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: The maps have the legend on the facing pages\, not on the maps themselves\, and I think it’s so nice to be able to just pull the page and have all the information on the one page. So if you could\, just if you put those legends that just. It’s a simple thing. It makes it. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Yeah\, it makes it so much easier to use those maps in like presentations and things. They’re gonna do. Do you know what I mean by that? Yeah. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: on page 83 \nTemazcal Meeting Room: on page 83. It’s the superfund sites. I think you might be missing Moffitt Field. I’m pretty sure that’s a superfund site. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Which site Moffitt Field at NASA Ames\, the whole \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and then on page 87\, \nTemazcal Meeting Room: the hydrological connectivity Map. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: It shows these kind of reaches or these kind of like larger areas. It’d be really helpful to have the outlines of the jurisdictions on that\, so they can just see really quickly. Where are their shared? \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Where are the things that might be shared between jurisdictions? Because if I’m a jurisdiction. Looking at this\, I’d love to be able to quickly be like. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: oh\, I have nothing really to do with my neighbor to the north\, but there’s a lot to do with my neighbor to the south\, or\, Wow. All 3 of us have a lot of this stuff in common. Let’s work together. Just kind of \nTemazcal Meeting Room: make that really clear. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Yeah. And to that last point\, the online online mapping platform does make that a lot more transparent. You can overlay all sorts of jurisdictional boundaries and things like that. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: But yes\, thank you. Those are all great points. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Well\, the risk of being redundant. I just want to say again\, I think that the you know all the regulations\, everything that we do is all \nTemazcal Meeting Room: pointing to a different outcome than the one that we’ve seen implemented around the bay\, and that over time the bay. My biggest concern is that the entire bay gets a levy around it. The whole thing eventually. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: you know\, that’s that’s what we’re seeing. And I think a lot of it is under the radar. So we’re not really. It’s not in the public eye\, like. I think people would be shocked if they drove down to Alviso or or went through Foster City along the waterfront right now. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and just. It’s a kind of a big question. You know. What? What do we \nTemazcal Meeting Room: do differently? Or can we do anything differently? Because I know everyone \nTemazcal Meeting Room: here has made their very best efforts\, you know\, within\, with the tools they have. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Yeah\, you\, you know. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: that’s where I think the vision \nTemazcal Meeting Room: for this document is a little \nTemazcal Meeting Room: underperforming it. It’s really got a list of principles and \nTemazcal Meeting Room: or what I would call objectives. But \nTemazcal Meeting Room: no one’s done the hard work of envisioning what the bay is gonna look like \nTemazcal Meeting Room: in the future. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: under at least one or more scenarios. And that’s really kind of the only way you could \nTemazcal Meeting Room: tease that out\, I think. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and maybe that’s why they didn’t do it. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: But I agree with you. I think you know what? What is the vision for the bay \nTemazcal Meeting Room: bathtub \nTemazcal Meeting Room: hopefully. I don’t think so. And I I think the plan has the ecological \nTemazcal Meeting Room: objective or principle whatever. But yeah\, how you do. That is really the the question. So \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I agree. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Unsolvable problem. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Okay? I guess that concludes our comments. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: There’s no further comments. Are there any further comments from anyone? I think everyone’s had a chance. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Get a \nTemazcal Meeting Room: yeah. I will just say that. You know\, we’ve heard a lot of the same buckets of comments over and over again. We’ve talked to hundreds of people throughout this process\, and you all have a unique take on on it. And that’s like amazing. It’s much appreciated. So. Yes\, thank you so much for sharing all of your great thoughts. Well\, thanks for giving us the opportunity. Really appreciate it. It’s very important. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: So we’re happy to contribute hopefully. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: positively\, for your patience and all that. Would anyone like to make a motion to adjourn. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: and a second \nTemazcal Meeting Room: my motion that we adjourn? \nTemazcal Meeting Room: I second that motion. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Great hearing! Are there any objections? \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Hearing none\, the meeting is adjourned. \nTemazcal Meeting Room: Thank you. Thanks. Everyone. \n \n \n \n \n \n Learn How to Participate\n Bagley-Keene Open Meeting Act\nAs a state agency\, the Commission is governed by the Bagley-Keene Open Meeting Act which requires the Commission to: (1) publish an agenda at least ten days in advance of any meeting; and (2) describe specifically in that agenda the items to be transacted or discussed.

Yes\, alright. \nYerba Buena SX80: He’s gonna make it soon. \nYerba Buena SX80: Ethan\, you can come to the table. Yes. \nYerba Buena SX80: yeah. \nYerba Buena SX80: See? \nYerba Buena SX80: See? \nYerba Buena SX80: Alright\, I will \nYerba Buena SX80: start with the call to order. So thank you for joining us tonight for the Bcdc Design Review Board meeting. I’d like to remind the Board members to please speak directly into the microphone in front of you and have it on only when you want to speak\, and please ensure that your video on your laptops is always on\, but your audio is disabled. \nYerba Buena SX80: Sure. \nYerba Buena SX80: we are located at the Metro center in San Francisco\, and our meeting will include participants who are here and those are who are participating online. \nYerba Buena SX80: I will call the roll. \nYerba Buena SX80: alright\, and note the staff in the room. \nYerba Buena SX80: Chair. Mccann. \nYerba Buena SX80: present vice chair\, string\, present board\, member Battaglia. \nYerba Buena SX80: present \nYerba Buena SX80: Board. Member Chow. \nYerba Buena SX80: Right here\, Board\, member leader here\, board members attending online board\, member Anderson. \nCody Anderson: Here. \nYerba Buena SX80: Board\, member Fonseca Flores. \nPatricia Fonseca Flores | CMG | she\, her: Here\, here. \nYerba Buena SX80: And board. Member Pellegrini. \nStefan Pellegrini: Here. \nYerba Buena SX80: Alright and staff attending tonight are myself\, Ashley\, Tomerlan. \nYerba Buena SX80: Gary Jewett\, Ethan Levine\, and Catherine Penn will be joining us later today. \nYerba Buena SX80: Oh. \nYerba Buena SX80: okay. So the next item on the agenda is the meeting summary\, and I \nYerba Buena SX80: that was a meeting summary from our last meeting. If I recall from a few months ago\, and \nYerba Buena SX80: as always\, really good notes it was a very interesting meeting. I I can’t recall. It’s in the note. It’s in the notes\, of course\, but I think not. Everyone was able to be there. And this is an ongoing very large\, complex project that \nYerba Buena SX80: people here at Bcdc are working on as well as people around the bay and so it was a productive meeting and good to \nYerba Buena SX80: see the summary. \nYerba Buena SX80: Are there any comments on the meeting notes. Any corrections that anyone has \nYerba Buena SX80: anyone online? \nYerba Buena SX80: Okay\, now. \nYerba Buena SX80: okay\, I just had one very small comment\, which was\, page 6.3. \nYerba Buena SX80: It was just! I’d just like to insert a word. There was the the sentence starts. Jacinda Mccann observed that \nYerba Buena SX80: biodiversity and it kept going on after that is threatened\, etc. But and I just wanted to insert a word that\, maintaining biodiversity with what the intention of that \nYerba Buena SX80: sentence was \nYerba Buena SX80: Apart from that\, no other comments \nYerba Buena SX80: so those were present at the meeting. Could someone move to accept the meeting notes\, make a motion to approve the minutes. Second. \nYerba Buena SX80: I’ll second. Thanks\, Bob. \nYerba Buena SX80: Okay\, all in favor. \nYerba Buena SX80: Actually. \nYerba Buena SX80: I I think it’s past. I think there were only a few of us at that meeting. So yeah\, okay. \nYerba Buena SX80: as always. Excellent meeting notes. So thank you. And you know\, for the newer board members\, it is always helpful to go back and read the meeting notes\, because they are particularly good now\, and we have gone through various iterations over many years of \nYerba Buena SX80: level of detail in meeting notes\, not having meeting notes\, all sorts of variations. So we’re very grateful for the work that’s going into them at the moment. \nYerba Buena SX80: So thank you. Ashley and team. \nYerba Buena SX80: Okay\, next item \nYerba Buena SX80: staff update. So thank you. Chair Mccann. \nYerba Buena SX80: we will be having a board meeting on October 7\, th and it will be a review of the public draft of the Regional Shoreline Adaptation Plan guidelines\, a section of which the Board reviewed in June \nYerba Buena SX80: the public draft. The public draft is to be released on September 23\, rd and I aim to get the mailing and meeting materials out. Then\, to maximize the time you will have reading that through the document. \nYerba Buena SX80: Does the Board have any questions? \nYerba Buena SX80: so are you saying that we’ll get the document in the beginning of October\, and then we’ll have an opportunity to provide comments to you or to the Rsap \nYerba Buena SX80: people. The R. The planning staff developing the Rsap will be bringing the public draft to the board \nYerba Buena SX80: the public draft is being posted online on September 23\, rd which is before our typical mailing cycle. We typically mail out materials 10 days before the meeting. \nYerba Buena SX80: And so I’m going to try to have all of our mailing materials out at the 23rd the 1st day that it’s open and available. \nYerba Buena SX80: and so you’ll have a few extra days to review it before the Drb. And then \nYerba Buena SX80: or before the Drb. Meeting\, and then we’ll collect the comments at the Drb. Meeting\, and that will go into the public comment record for the Rsap. \nYerba Buena SX80: So so any comments we have will be part of the public comment. \nYerba Buena SX80: The document won’t change before it’s released to the public. \nYerba Buena SX80: Right? Okay\, thank you. Appreciate it. \nYerba Buena SX80: you know\, just to comment on that. When we met and reviewed the partial document\, which was only a small part of the document. We really only got through part of that. \nYerba Buena SX80: but \nYerba Buena SX80: amounts of narrative\, and that with the dialogue\, and so on\, that we had. So \nYerba Buena SX80: it’s sort of hard to visualize this. But we’re gonna need some guidance\, I think on. You know how to make \nYerba Buena SX80: best use of the time\, because by the time they which we need a presentation \nYerba Buena SX80: by the time that happens\, and with the level of detail in the document\, you know\, we we might struggle to provide comprehensive feedback. \nYerba Buena SX80: Yeah\, I actually have another comment. \nYerba Buena SX80: Sorry. And when you’re \nYerba Buena SX80: every way. I actually think this is a pretty pretty important document\, the Rsap. I think it’s really a a great endeavor\, and I agree with the state that there should be adaptation plans. And it’s great that Dcdc is\, you know\, doing this? \nYerba Buena SX80: it seems that it’s a bit rushed \nYerba Buena SX80: and I say that because \nYerba Buena SX80: I I feel like I’d like to provide more. Input. \nYerba Buena SX80: But I\, as I’ve said in other meetings\, I can’t remember who is Drv. Or the ecrb. \nYerba Buena SX80: I really don’t think my input is just like the general public \nYerba Buena SX80: being on both of these boards and having the experience that I do. \nYerba Buena SX80: And \nYerba Buena SX80: it’s a little odd\, because I don’t \nYerba Buena SX80: think that it’s not apparent to me that the Ecrp and Dr. B. \nYerba Buena SX80: Roles\, in addressing \nYerba Buena SX80: adaptation on a project level are \nYerba Buena SX80: necessarily incorporated or \nYerba Buena SX80: reflected? Or are you sure if they’re even mentioned in the Rsap which \nYerba Buena SX80: results in kind of a funny situation where communities may be following one set of protocols. But then\, when a project comes up \nYerba Buena SX80: which \nYerba Buena SX80: is consistent with that municipal municipalities\, protocols. \nYerba Buena SX80: and the rsat will not be necessarily consistent. \nYerba Buena SX80: what I might say\, or other people might say so. I think it’s a little odd\, you know. I’m a little frustrated by the situation. \nYerba Buena SX80: Thank you. \nYerba Buena SX80: Well\, Bob\, at least the the report’s gonna be posted the draft 23rd of September. So there’s some time there to digest it. Yeah\, that’s true. That’s true\, I I agree\, and I I do appreciate the opportunity to review it as a member of the general public. \nYerba Buena SX80: Did did anyone say how many pages there are in this document. Did I miss that? I’m just\, is it? You know? I mean\, you were saying it’s gonna take some time. How are we gonna get through all that. So I’m just planning ahead how? How? You know how many pages are in this document? How long will it take to review it\, and should we divide it up so that\, you know\, maybe board members would take charge of the chapter\, or some portion of it to review\, I mean\, I think everybody should should kind of \nYerba Buena SX80: skim it\, review it\, but maybe dive deeper into certain portions. Yeah\, or get some help from the staff on the areas that you think are most relevant to the expertise of this committee to focus on in the document. Because there’s a lot in that document. A lot of technical \nYerba Buena SX80: material. \nYerba Buena SX80: So yeah\, it could be some combination of that. Yeah\, it’s a good idea. It is lengthy. I haven’t. I haven’t seen the laid out version\, but I think it’s probably on the \nYerba Buena SX80: order of magnitude of 80 pages or so 80 to 100 pages. \nYerba Buena SX80: And we we could we could pose that question to the team that’s leading up the development of the Rsap to see if there’s particular sections. They think the Board review would would be particularly helpful for yeah. And and in terms of the level of you know where they’re at in the process\, you know what? What’s \nYerba Buena SX80: most helpful\, most relevant for us to be commenting on\, I mean\, are there some things that are now? Clearly\, you know the framework is clearly established? You know\, some of the higher level principles\, you know\, really sorted out\, you know\, it’s like\, what? What level of detail do you want us to focus on. \nYerba Buena SX80: Actually\, one more question relating to that. There’s a commission \nYerba Buena SX80: workshop on this as well. Is that correct? Did I read that? \nYerba Buena SX80: Not email correctly? \nYerba Buena SX80: Yeah. I let me let me try and pull it up. I’m pretty sure that the Commission is hearing it. Sec. It’s holding a workshop on the second meeting in October\, and there’s also gonna be a public workshop next Friday\, the 13th is\, Larry said. They’re not superstitious\, so\, but they’re they’re holding a public workshop\, which board members are\, of course\, \nYerba Buena SX80: more than welcome to to attend. But yeah\, I believe the Commission is next year\, and at the end of October\, right? Okay\, thank you. \nYerba Buena SX80: There are no members of the public online. So I’m just gonna go past the public comment \nYerba Buena SX80: for items not on tonight’s agenda. \nYerba Buena SX80: Give me a second as I pull up the presentation \nYerba Buena SX80: on the updated stuff for us. \nYerba Buena SX80: You’re not moving forward. \nYerba Buena SX80: I’m feeling very rusty with the presentations right now. Yeah\, \nYerba Buena SX80: here we go. \nYerba Buena SX80: Sure. \nYerba Buena SX80: So I just in addition to what Ethan mentioned. So the September 19th Commission meeting is cancelled\, and instead\, we’re going to be having a webinar and the rsap guidelines. \nYerba Buena SX80: Is that I thought that was the the webinars on the 13\, th but I could. Well\, I don’t know. So \nYerba Buena SX80: Jackie had said \nYerba Buena SX80: today. So October 17th is the rcap. Hearing September 19th is a webinar introducing the Rcep draft guidelines. \nYerba Buena SX80: Okay\, we can confirm. But I think that that is\, I think that that’s that was the plan. \nYerba Buena SX80: Yeah\, I mean\, Bob\, to your point. If you were available to get online. Even\, you know\, that’s another opportunity to provide input. \nYerba Buena SX80: get online for which the Commission \nYerba Buena SX80: sessions online on the guidelines. The Commissioner sessions. Yeah\, okay\, yeah. I could think about that. I’m sorry I was thinking about something else. But I did go to the practitioners meeting. \nYerba Buena SX80: Haven’t really heard much back\, and I’ve tried to reach out to a few people\, and I haven’t had any response. So I’m assuming it’s simply because they’re too busy. \nYerba Buena SX80: But that doesn’t give me a lot of confidence that my input has been considered adequately. \nYerba Buena SX80: So I just wanted to remind the board of the regulatory back on\, that is\, or regulatory framework that established the board. \nYerba Buena SX80: and what the Board was envisioned to provide with. Provide the commission. \nYerba Buena SX80: So it’s the Board shall advise the Commission and the staff on the appearance and design of projects for which a commission permit or consistency determination is needed\, particularly as the project affects public access to the bay and shoreline\, and in practice we’ve seen this is the more of a quality or qualitative assessment of the public access the quantity of \nYerba Buena SX80: amenities\, and the area that is consistent with the project being reviewed. \nYerba Buena SX80: So what the Dr. B. Reviews \nYerba Buena SX80: or when reviewing the project\, the Drb. May rely upon \nYerba Buena SX80: among other things\, the Bay Plan policies\, the public access design guidelines\, the Commission’s regulations\, consideration of environmental factors\, and their experience and expertise to evaluate design issues raised by proposed projects. \nYerba Buena SX80: and the typical observations are the quality\, quantity\, and usefulness of the public access is part of the overall post project\, the resilience of the design and the longevity of the construction\, the opportunities foreign\, the constraints to public access. \nYerba Buena SX80: Oh\, this is the one that had notes. We’ve heard over the years that there are some issues with our stack reports\, and we want to improve them to best serve board members \nYerba Buena SX80: for efficient reviews. But also from the staff perspective\, making sure that they’re spending their time efficiently and not on something that’s not being used. So from board members. We’ve heard that \nYerba Buena SX80: more transparency on issues or on the issues that staff want feedback on would be appreciated. \nYerba Buena SX80: Board members may skim some of the less valuable sections. So we wanna know what those sections are. \nYerba Buena SX80: And then certain sections of the report provide more value than others \nYerba Buena SX80: and sections detailing the history of a project and its past interaction with the Cdc. Are most helpful\, while the sections detailing these policies and guidelines provided less value. \nYerba Buena SX80: And from staff we’ve heard that permit staff spend significant times developing a report to brief the Drb. On upcoming projects. Staff and managers expressed concern that the length and complexity of these reports has increased in recent years \nYerba Buena SX80: from roughly 5 page or 5 to 6 pages to 12 to 15 pages. \nYerba Buena SX80: And whether or not this is means that \nYerba Buena SX80: the effort expended exceeds their value\, and that Staff noted. These reports may provide more detail than necessary for the boards to understand a project. \nYerba Buena SX80: the typical outline for a Drv. Staff report. Is the introduction. So this is usually like the executive summary\, one page \nYerba Buena SX80: naming the project proponent\, the representatives. \nYerba Buena SX80: a vicinity map. \nYerba Buena SX80: a brief project overview which is like a hundred to 150 words. \nYerba Buena SX80: just high\, very high level points and list\, also the prior reviews by the Drp. \nYerba Buena SX80: Then we move on to the second section of the reports. Which is the project site. We go into a description of the site history. \nYerba Buena SX80: the existing conditions and the public access. And then the social environmental context. \nYerba Buena SX80: This is when I’m really wishing I had my notes. \nYerba Buena SX80: might \nYerba Buena SX80: escape that they fast. \nYerba Buena SX80: Alright\, we got. \nYerba Buena SX80: What is it? \nYerba Buena SX80: 3 dots \nYerba Buena SX80: this point? I’m just gonna read my notes. \nYerba Buena SX80: So for the site history\, how far back do you want us to go? This currently shows up as both physical and cultural site history. And usually this gets into the prior site uses\, but occasionally will describe pre-development state of the site. And does that help you? Or should we focus on conditions that inform current proposal. \nYerba Buena SX80: the existing conditions and public access. This also mixes the physical site and the cultural uses\, including existing public access\, both required and not required by Vcdc \nYerba Buena SX80: and the social and environmental context. This section relies on the community vulnerability mapping tool to identify socioeconomic indicators and contamination burdens in the nearby communities based on 2\,020 census data. \nYerba Buena SX80: Currently\, we will make a statement similar to \nYerba Buena SX80: the site is located within a 2020 census block \nYerba Buena SX80: in the city that is designated as having a high level of social vulnerability based on high percentiles\, 70th or above. For the following indicators renter no vehicle disabled single parent and very low income. \nYerba Buena SX80: Is this a usable\, or is this usable for you in relating to the project design? \nYerba Buena SX80: Is there a way to present that information that would better suit your needs \nYerba Buena SX80: alright. \nYerba Buena SX80: The next section of \nYerba Buena SX80: the \nYerba Buena SX80: staff reports are the current proposal \nYerba Buena SX80: where we get into the project description. That’s \nYerba Buena SX80: usually multiple paragraphs describing the overall design. \nYerba Buena SX80: Then we go into the public access elements and uses\, and that section is coordinated with the exhibits showing proposed plans and drawings\, and frequently becomes an inventory list in the Staff Report \nYerba Buena SX80: for sea level rise. This section of the report is typically paired with a series of graphic exhibits \nYerba Buena SX80: showing site sections relative to current and future water levels. \nYerba Buena SX80: Is this section useful for you? And is there too little or too much information? And what else would you be looking for \nYerba Buena SX80: community engagement? And this typically describes the strategy and efforts made or planned for community engagement and then goes into the feedback received? Is the board interested in the strategy? Or should we focus more on the outcomes that have informed the design? \nYerba Buena SX80: And then we also will include the approval and construction timeline for the context of \nYerba Buena SX80: where the project is \nYerba Buena SX80: After the proposed project we move into the Commission plans and policies and guidelines section where staff will do an initial analysis on a plan. The relevant a plan policies. \nYerba Buena SX80: flag\, any \nYerba Buena SX80: priority use area special area plan and bay plan map notes specific to the site\, and then we’ll also describe some of the public access design guidelines \nYerba Buena SX80: and finally\, the last section of the staff reports are the Board questions. \nYerba Buena SX80: Staff recommends that the Board Frame usually recommends that the Board frame their remarks of the proposed park or proposed site\, considering the 7 public access objectives from the public access design guidelines and then provide feedback on the proposed access \nYerba Buena SX80: related to the Commission’s policies on sea level rise\, environmental justice and social equity. And then the project has will have specific staff questions \nYerba Buena SX80: as a reminder. The 7 objectives for public access are\, make the public access public\, make the public access usable\, provide\, maintain\, and enhance visual access to the bay. \nYerba Buena SX80: maintain and enhance visual quality. \nYerba Buena SX80: provide connections and continuity\, take advantage of the base setting and ensure that the public access is compatible with wildlife. \nYerba Buena SX80: So \nYerba Buena SX80: share my screen with the questions \nYerba Buena SX80: that we have for tonight. \nYerba Buena SX80: and it’s which sections are essential for a review\, and are there report? Are the reports missing any information or analysis that is critical\, to reviewing the proposed designs? \nYerba Buena SX80: What sections are less helpful or non-essential. \nYerba Buena SX80: And do you have recommendations for where framing of a project information could be improved? \nYerba Buena SX80: Is the current board question section effective in guiding discussion\, or are more pointed questions helpful to better steer the review? \nYerba Buena SX80: And does the report format effectively present the relevant information? \nYerba Buena SX80: Our paragraphs are listed are. \nYerba Buena SX80: are paragraphs or lists preferred? And does integrating graphics into the report help hinder? Or is a reference to the relevant exhibit document sufficient \nYerba Buena SX80: with that \nYerba Buena SX80: just to get us more focused. \nYerba Buena SX80: on this. You sent 3 examples around of 3\, \nYerba Buena SX80: you know\, reviews. I’m I’m sure everyone’s\, you know\, scroll through them. And I’m thinking\, particularly people who may not have been on the board for that long. It’s sort of helpful to see different examples. But could you provide some context on why you selected those 3 because they they do have. In my mind they had different there were different points in a process\, or they were\, there were certain characteristics that \nYerba Buena SX80: determine some of the content of that report or the level of detail. So maybe you could just explain to us why you pick those 3 and what they represent? Yeah. So 2 of them were from January 2024. One was for Depave Park in Alameda\, and the second was for 1\,301 Shoreway in Belmont. \nYerba Buena SX80: And those 2 projects being more recent examples of what the template is we’re using now. \nYerba Buena SX80: I thought it was appropriate to use those more recent reports. \nYerba Buena SX80: but they also\, like the Dupa Park\, was a Brit project\, the Bay Right \nYerba Buena SX80: Resource regulatory integration team. So they concentrate on \nYerba Buena SX80: habitat restoration projects \nYerba Buena SX80: that receive measure\, Aa funding\, and \nYerba Buena SX80: their objective is much more \nYerba Buena SX80: restoration of the Bay resources and wetlands. And then how the public access kind of fits into that\, without that well or in light of that wildlife compatibility\, requirement. \nYerba Buena SX80: I also thought it was a well written report that \nYerba Buena SX80: went into a lot of detail. And so I was using that as the end of the spectrum of like. \nYerba Buena SX80: I know that the permit analyst spent a lot of time on that report. \nYerba Buena SX80: and so just highlighting what sections may \nYerba Buena SX80: be essential or like \nYerba Buena SX80: may not be as essential\, and the 13 0. 1 Shoreway was an example of the Life Science Campuses in San Mateo that we’ve seen \nYerba Buena SX80: numerous examples of over the last few years\, and so it was just another example of that. And then the 3rd project was from 2\,008\, and it was the exploratorium\, and it was an example of one of the staff reports that were written before the climate change and social equity or environmental justice\, social equity policies came online. And so it was much briefer. I believe it was 8 pages no\, maybe even shorter than that. After I did the formatting. \nYerba Buena SX80: And so \nYerba Buena SX80: I wanted to use that as an example of what had been done in the past\, and see if you had a reaction of whether or not that report gave you guys sufficient information to have \nYerba Buena SX80: like a quality assessment and review of it. Yup. \nYerba Buena SX80: okay\, that’s that’s that’s good. That’s helpful. And for the benefit of everyone who’s online. And some of the newer members of the Board. The comment that was submitted by Andrea Gaffney. Andrea is not necessarily really known to everybody. So maybe you can just put Andrea in context what her role was\, and \nYerba Buena SX80: and \nYerba Buena SX80: you know she made some\, I think\, quite clear points that I think are worthwhile \nYerba Buena SX80: taking into consideration. \nYerba Buena SX80: Yeah\, so for those newer members of the board\, Andrea Gaffney is the former Dr. B. Secretary. She was on staff from 2016 till 2022\, I think\, she finished up in at the end of 2022 \nYerba Buena SX80: and she helped initiate some of the report or the \nYerba Buena SX80: new template for the stock reports to incorporate those new policies of climate change and the social equity and the community community vulnerability sections because she thought it \nYerba Buena SX80: fleshed out \nYerba Buena SX80: the background of what was informing the designs\, or where we could ask questions\, and probably or and respond and provide feedback in the context of the greater planning effort. \nYerba Buena SX80: Okay\, thanks for that. And just before we open it up\, I’m just being a bit of a hog here. But just so everyone can understand \nYerba Buena SX80: the level of \nYerba Buena SX80: effort required for a report. You said that one of the reports\, the staff put deployment analysts put a lot of time. Into what? What do you mean by a lot of time\, is it? You know? A couple of days\, or \nYerba Buena SX80: I think it is a couple of days. So I think on so for me\, personally\, on average\, to draft a page of text kind of no matter what it is\, it’s probably at least an hour. But in addition to that\, there’s like the review of the exhibits\, there’s also the research depending on the site. The complexity can vary from like project to project\, I would say\, like \nYerba Buena SX80: like a pretty straightforward project on like a site with not a long permit. History. Is like a much quicker experience than something like\, say\, the ferry building\, where we had to sort through like 10 different permits. And try to like find the records of like the exhibits. And what happened in which cases\, and coordinate with the permit. \nYerba Buena SX80: yeah\, with the permitty to like\, make sure that we were on the same page about what different things! Said and then \nYerba Buena SX80: on top of that\, there’s like the reviewing between\, like\, you know\, once Staff is like drafted something. Then their supervisor\, and and Ashley\, the Board secretary\, like\, will review provide comments\, and so on. So it is like \nYerba Buena SX80: I would say I don’t know. \nYerba Buena SX80: probably like at least like a week’s worth of just like solid work. But then you would expect that to be interspersed among like a number of other obligations. They have. No\, that’s very helpful. And and then I think\, Andrew mentioned that the report itself is something that then helps you as you’re writing up the permit. So the content of that report is useful for \nYerba Buena SX80: for the \nYerba Buena SX80: further work you know that you need to do. Yeah. The best case scenario is that we can take the project description \nYerba Buena SX80: from \nYerba Buena SX80: the report. And like some of the research that we’ve done and like copy that for the most part into our like project description and the permit. \nYerba Buena SX80: So it is nice when\, like kind of the structure can parallel like what we need to use it for without having to like\, do a lot of doctoring and like. Sometimes\, you know\, the project does change between the time\, you know\, we describe it to you. And then the time that we’re going to describe it to commission but ideally like those changes are like pretty easy to target. \nYerba Buena SX80: We also use the the meeting summaries to help with a little bit of that discussion about what the board covered. But I think that’s not what we’re talking about right now. Yeah\, that’s super helpful. Thank you. Can I? Can I follow up on that? Yes\, it leads into a question I had. One of the things I’m wondering is \nYerba Buena SX80: the the information that the project applicant or proponent \nYerba Buena SX80: provide? Is it \nYerba Buena SX80: typically sufficient\, or is there a lot of time bringing them up to speed \nYerba Buena SX80: to get you what you need? \nYerba Buena SX80: I would say. It’s usually the impet. It varies even in like kind of the best cases where they provide a lot of information. You know\, the details are all there. But it’s not \nYerba Buena SX80: presented in a way that we would present it to you. You know it is like a little bit more. You know the way that they think about. It is different from the way that Staff would think about it\, and the way that they might describe something might be maybe a little bit more like positive\, or like flowery\, or like marketing sort of speech. And that is like kind of\, you know\, just the way that a lot of developers in particular\, like will approach. \nYerba Buena SX80: you know\, sharing information about a project. And so a lot of times like\, even if they have provided a lot of really good information. We have to kind of winnow through and kind of pull out any sort of like \nYerba Buena SX80: I guess \nYerba Buena SX80: is language and then also kind of formatted into kind of a more like regulatory framework. And and what about the the recent add ons the climate change\, seal\, verizon adaptation\, social equity\, environmental justice\, for the\, I think\, are the ones \nYerba Buena SX80: I I would expect that some people. \nYerba Buena SX80: applicants and their consultants may or may not be totally up to speed on \nYerba Buena SX80: the sea level rise scenarios\, or you know\, anyway\, the where I’m going with that is \nYerba Buena SX80: you know\, as Andrea’s Gaffney’s comments pointed out. It seems that there\, there are a lot of extra things that have to be addressed\, and some of these are kind of new \nYerba Buena SX80: to everyone. \nYerba Buena SX80: And so I think it’s understandable that it takes time to go through all that. \nYerba Buena SX80: Before it gets to us. And I I think that’s really useful \nYerba Buena SX80: for for me\, anyway? \nYerba Buena SX80: and it but I am I? My question then\, more specifically\, would be\, is there a way to \nYerba Buena SX80: provide some sort of checklist or kind of example\, or excuse me\, example\, or something like that for applicants. \nYerba Buena SX80: so that they can get you what you need in in a better format that that’s more work that nobody has time to do. But I’m just wondering if \nYerba Buena SX80: if that’s anyway\, you don’t have to answer your question. Yeah\, I mean\, I would say that. I I do know that there are some staff who have\, like kind of done their best to provide just the template to the applicants and just ask them to like. Put in your version of what this says like of like a previous staff report or something like that. One of the things that like for me when I\, \nYerba Buena SX80: you know\, read something like that\, I do sometimes wonder\, you know\, is this covering all the unique aspects of this project like\, if we had kind of come towards this with like a little bit of a blank\, more like a blank slate mentality like\, how would we like? How would we have pulled out what the key information was like? How might we have prioritized the information for you versus how they? I appreciate that. That’s a good Qc\, kind of yeah. You want to make sure you \nYerba Buena SX80: you’ve looked at it yourself. Yeah\, no\, I appreciate it\, thank you. Well\, what I’d suggest is\, maybe we could bring those questions up that you pose. But I’d like to maybe structure this by having each person \nYerba Buena SX80: provide \nYerba Buena SX80: their perspective on how they\, how useful\, what what parts of the reports are most useful\, I mean\, the reports are very useful documents. I mean\, they’re great. We put a lot of work into them\, and we really appreciate it. But you know what are the parts of the documents that are most helpful to you\, and also given the context that you have a proponent \nYerba Buena SX80: presentation as well that you know you take into account. But and I thought I’d just like to start. This is great because we have some newer board members\, and we’ve got some people who’ve been around for a long time\, so I think it might be very helpful to just go through the \nYerba Buena SX80: old timers first\, st because they’ve lived these reports for many years\, and you can be really honest about \nYerba Buena SX80: how you know how\, what the parts of the reports you tend to focus on. Gary. I’m going to ask you to start\, Tom\, follow Stefan to follow that\, and then we’ll go to Larry. Patricia. Cody\, you know. Then\, of course\, Bob. \nYerba Buena SX80: you’re sort of in the middle\, Bob\, I sort of think of you as a newer member. Yeah\, okay\, okay. So Gary. \nYerba Buena SX80: hey\, Gary\, if you want to just provide your reflections on the material that’s being presented tonight. Yeah\, okay? Sure. Yeah. I I think the staff reports are fantastic. I’ve never thought that they were overdone or boring\, or there are parts that were not useful. I think sometimes it takes \nYerba Buena SX80: 30 or 45 min to go through them\, but I wouldn’t go through them. If I thought\, you know that \nYerba Buena SX80: I could skip over it. I think there is some redundancy in going through the rules. There are certain things that recur in every report\, and that’s that’s fine. I think it’s a good reference. That’s the only redundancy I can think of\, which is\, which is super minor. I \nYerba Buena SX80: so just some of the things that have been mentioned\, the pre-development history \nYerba Buena SX80: I think that’s crucial. You know\, I like to go back to redevelopment times\, because we really want to know whether that site was at one time in the bay. \nYerba Buena SX80: or whether it was on a creek with a culvert underneath\, or now or I mean\, when you’re looking at a site\, you just\, you know\, a parking lot or a you know\, a office complex on on the bay\, surrounded by parking \nYerba Buena SX80: you. You need to know about the hydrology and the soils\, I think\, in order to evaluate what’s being presented. \nYerba Buena SX80: So \nYerba Buena SX80: along with that\, the you know\, the social vulnerability aspect\, I think it’s kind of the same thing. I mean. You can say\, Oh\, this is their social vulnerability here\, based on these kind of objective standards. But you know\, I think\, having some context and some history about what that neighborhood was traditionally\, and how it’s evolved is also really important in evaluating the vulnerability. You know whether these are long time residents\, whether this is a new community which has just popped up in the last\, you know\, 10 or 15 years or something. \nYerba Buena SX80: I think that’s really good. \nYerba Buena SX80: I’ll comment on Depave Park. I thought that was exemplary. \nYerba Buena SX80: Obviously it was a huge site in a really prominent location. \nYerba Buena SX80: so it was deserving of a of a lot of work. I mean\, I don’t think it was overdone at all. You had \nYerba Buena SX80: great site\, a great applicant\, a great client\, and and a great design team who is at their best on this type of site\, and that seems like an opportunity that was seized to\, you know\, really demonstrate a precedent setting project. So \nYerba Buena SX80: I really enjoyed that. I just thought there was no left in that at all. And we did go on for a couple of hours at least on that. And I. And that’s because there was an incredible amount of useful information there\, I mean\, \nYerba Buena SX80: in terms of how long it takes to write a staff report. I mean\, I couldn’t imagine writing one of those reports in a couple of days. I thought you were. Gonna say\, you know\, one to 2 weeks or something. I think it depends on\, you know\, when I write something you have to cross check\, you know. Sometimes it takes 20 min to write a sentence\, because you have to\, you know\, check the terminology and make sure what you’re writing is truly accurate\, and get on chat gpt\, and all that. So \nYerba Buena SX80: seems efficient. \nYerba Buena SX80: I I think that. There’s an interesting point to cover the unique aspects of the project\, instead of those that are applicable to all projects which you just kind of get to know after a while. \nYerba Buena SX80: So. \nYerba Buena SX80: in terms of the questions that you put forward\, I think the questions that we’re supposed to address are pretty much the same on every project I think they could be should be different\, for every project they could be more pointed\, they could be more focused. And you know the \nYerba Buena SX80: yeah\, the repetitive stuff will probably pick up. \nYerba Buena SX80: Interesting. You mentioned the exploratorium\, which was I was on for 10 years\, and it’s an epic project that deserved a lot of attention. And you’re saying that the staff reports were were very brief or we were. You’re looking at. One report in \nYerba Buena SX80: in particular\, are \nYerba Buena SX80: It was the 1st review of the new exploratorium\, I mean\, there were many\, many\, and there were probably a lot before I ever attended\, but that was an incredibly complex \nYerba Buena SX80: project\, deserving of\, of probably more more attention than it got. I thought the approvals sailed through pretty easily\, and \nYerba Buena SX80: I don’t know how much time was spent on what was going on below the deck \nYerba Buena SX80: of the exploratorium. Here there are massive\, massive \nYerba Buena SX80: pile caps\, an unbelievable amount of concrete that was poured in the 4 corners of Pier 15. In order to stabilize that site. \nYerba Buena SX80: I think hundreds and hundreds of pilings\, each one with a with a name and a personality\, and a and a renovation schedule \nYerba Buena SX80: for it\, and and that you know\, I think that \nYerba Buena SX80: there’s probably a lot more that the Board could have dug into there\, maybe in terms of how it affected the bay\, and you know\, I think there’s a lot of things that I never discussed\, but like I said I missed. \nYerba Buena SX80: You know I wasn’t there for everything. \nYerba Buena SX80: and that was a long time ago\, right? That was opened in 2013. I think so started in \nYerba Buena SX80: 1990. \nYerba Buena SX80: I don’t know \nYerba Buena SX80: 5 or something like that. So. \nYerba Buena SX80: I think that’s pretty much it. I think the sea Level Rise information is really really good projecting to the 100 year scenario. \nYerba Buena SX80: Always look at that very carefully. So \nYerba Buena SX80: that’s it for me. Yeah. \nYerba Buena SX80: Good call. \nYerba Buena SX80: Tom. Yeah\, I have a question. Who has access to these reports besides Staff and Dr. B\, \nYerba Buena SX80: they’re posted to the website. Anybody can. Anyone can obtain them? They’re part of the public record. Has there ever been an instance of somebody disputing \nYerba Buena SX80: something in the report\, or having an issue or a problem \nYerba Buena SX80: for the left for the public or components\, it will occasionally come up with project components. When something has been reviewed \nYerba Buena SX80: 10 or 15 years before \nYerba Buena SX80: the site has changed and been developed over time. \nYerba Buena SX80: and then \nYerba Buena SX80: people will have a varied memory of what was considered and proposed in front of the Drb. And so we do revisit old staff reports and old exhibits to go back and excavate \nYerba Buena SX80: some of the rationale reasoning and decisions\, so forth\, as context to what they’re \nYerba Buena SX80: placing their judgments on top of \nYerba Buena SX80: correct\, got it? Got it? Okay? \nYerba Buena SX80: And then also\, in permit findings\, there will be some discussion sometimes about what the Dr. B. Discussed related to a project\, and what the priorities in the design were\, and if there is \nYerba Buena SX80: a disagreement on the significance of certain amenities or certain design decisions. We can go back to those findings as well. \nYerba Buena SX80: well\, especially for that reason\, I think\, is important to these \nYerba Buena SX80: reports to be complete\, and they are very complete\, and I don’t think I would want them to ever not \nYerba Buena SX80: be complete. \nYerba Buena SX80: And \nYerba Buena SX80: I think the only thing I would. \nYerba Buena SX80: Brace\, I guess I mean I I come out. I’m I’m always. I’ll be honest. The afternoon Monday afternoon comes\, and oh\, oh. \nYerba Buena SX80: I got about an hour and a half here. Better get to it right? So I’m only\, and I’m skimming through certain things\, and I’m reading carefully. Other parts seem significant. \nYerba Buena SX80: And then trying to get to the exhibits and then go back\, check back and forth\, and the parts that I don’t spend very much time on usually are when you have to cite a chapter in verse on policy. They they policy. I just take for granted that that \nYerba Buena SX80: I mean\, I suppose I should register. \nYerba Buena SX80: I always look at the questions that are raised at the end. \nYerba Buena SX80: And I \nYerba Buena SX80: I guess\, the only possible. I think I think all the information that goes in there\, the facts that go into it are all essential \nYerba Buena SX80: to understanding. But is it possible to use\, make use of \nYerba Buena SX80: introductory paragraph \nYerba Buena SX80: with a list of bullet points out for more frequently\, I suppose\, and would it be possible at the beginning to have a paragraph that states the \nYerba Buena SX80: special significance \nYerba Buena SX80: on this project. What it is about this project that \nYerba Buena SX80: is different from from the other ones. You may have been seeing or seeing in this meeting \nYerba Buena SX80: kind of helps you get a \nYerba Buena SX80: get your teeth around what \nYerba Buena SX80: bite into. But \nYerba Buena SX80: so I only would suggest that maybe \nYerba Buena SX80: I mean\, I think you’ve got to put the \nYerba Buena SX80: the policy chapters in there right? You can’t. You can’t just put a link \nYerba Buena SX80: to to go out to go off documents somewhere else\, so it needs to be there and \nYerba Buena SX80: whether it’s possible to do the whole report with introduction\, paragraph\, and a list of bullet points. \nYerba Buena SX80: whether it would save time over composing grammatically correct full paragraphs. I don’t know the question for you guys. \nYerba Buena SX80: And if you could scan through a \nYerba Buena SX80: through a list of bullet points. It might be quicker. \nYerba Buena SX80: I don’t know. I I think it’s more more important\, really\, that it’s it’s it’s working for you for staff. \nYerba Buena SX80: Honestly\, I mean\, I I know how I use these\, not probably not gonna change that much\, but \nYerba Buena SX80: I find them useful from that standpoint\, and \nYerba Buena SX80: this they gotta be complete if anybody’s gonna be researching for their proponents are going through looking for. \nYerba Buena SX80: you know\, inaccurate or incomplete \nYerba Buena SX80: aspects\, things. \nYerba Buena SX80: documents they’re going to subscribe to. \nYerba Buena SX80: That’s it. \nYerba Buena SX80: Okay\, Stefan\, let’s \nYerba Buena SX80: go to you for your reflections. \nStefan Pellegrini: Thank you. \nStefan Pellegrini: Jacinta. \nStefan Pellegrini: I guess I’m an old timer now. \nStefan Pellegrini: I think \nStefan Pellegrini: just not to try to sort of repeat the things that Tom and Gary have mentioned\, but I think the \nStefan Pellegrini: the complexity of the staff reports \nStefan Pellegrini: is \nStefan Pellegrini: useful\, because primarily\, I think what we’re being asked to do \nStefan Pellegrini: is\, provide \nStefan Pellegrini: judgment \nStefan Pellegrini: around. \nStefan Pellegrini: I’ll say the sufficiency. \nStefan Pellegrini: or the adequacy\, or the appropriateness of the applicant’s response. \nStefan Pellegrini: And \nStefan Pellegrini: all of that\, I think it requires \nStefan Pellegrini: all the things that we’ve mentioned. \nStefan Pellegrini: an understanding of the background\, the history. \nStefan Pellegrini: the Ej issues now\, and the Slr issues \nStefan Pellegrini: that are sort of helping to inform this decision. And sometimes I think that has to do with \nStefan Pellegrini: is the project acceptable now \nStefan Pellegrini: and then. Sometimes we’re sort of asked to opine on \nStefan Pellegrini: what conditions of approval will make this project \nStefan Pellegrini: suitable in the future \nStefan Pellegrini: right? Because we sort of get into these situations of the shoreline\, shifting the public access\, changing over the life of the project. \nStefan Pellegrini: So I think that that our ability to make those decisions in one meeting \nStefan Pellegrini: kind of relies on a pretty extensive \nStefan Pellegrini: staff report. \nStefan Pellegrini: I can see a situation where \nStefan Pellegrini: we’ve an initial review would be more about us asking questions. To then figure out what judgment calls. We need to make. \nStefan Pellegrini: and that sort of \nStefan Pellegrini: the public piece of that getting stretched out longer in the absence of that sort of background information that staff is sort of providing upfront\, but I think the energy behind the staff report is what is \nStefan Pellegrini: allowing most \nStefan Pellegrini: most of these situations were able to provide direction \nStefan Pellegrini: on projects where\, if they are coming back. \nStefan Pellegrini: it’s to understand their ability to respond to our direction \nStefan Pellegrini: as opposed to saying\, You know\, just come back down the road again\, and let us look at it again when it’s more developed. \nStefan Pellegrini: with sort of a lack of sort of objective guidance. And I really think that sort of goes back to the \nStefan Pellegrini: The strength of the staff. Report. \nStefan Pellegrini: I will say that. \nStefan Pellegrini: I I don’t. \nStefan Pellegrini: because we are being asked to \nStefan Pellegrini: Peter. \nStefan Pellegrini: I’m gonna I’m gonna speak from like my perspective. I I think I’m the architect on the board or one of the architects on the board. So I think sometimes Staff is asking us. \nStefan Pellegrini: are there creative or alternative strategies to what the applicant is proposing \nStefan Pellegrini: that should be considered \nStefan Pellegrini: regarding these questions of \nStefan Pellegrini: sufficiency\, adequacy\, appropriateness. \nStefan Pellegrini: and I think we\, as designers\, understand how to respond to that. But we’re not always asked that directly. \nStefan Pellegrini: We’re sort of asked to kind of \nStefan Pellegrini: bring our professional expertise and perspective\, which is different for everyone on this board. \nStefan Pellegrini: To sort of providing that information. I think another thing that comes up in my mind often\, too\, is that \nStefan Pellegrini: there’s conditions on a lot of these projects where the priorities \nStefan Pellegrini: or the questions around. What should be prioritized is not clear. \nStefan Pellegrini: like different user groups. \nStefan Pellegrini: Where do you sort of tip the scale or way in terms of how space is being used and managed? \nStefan Pellegrini: And they’re asking for our judgment \nStefan Pellegrini: on that \nStefan Pellegrini: based on sort of our professional expertise. \nStefan Pellegrini: I think my experience has been that \nStefan Pellegrini: I had to learn \nStefan Pellegrini: what Staff was asking or what I thought they were really asking. \nStefan Pellegrini: because the questions come in the form of \nStefan Pellegrini: they come in the frame of planning policy. \nStefan Pellegrini: But we are asked. We are basically asked to answer in a language of design. \nStefan Pellegrini: and that for me\, I had to watch \nStefan Pellegrini: the my predecessors and understand how they were interacting with the board. And then I sort of picked up on that. And probably I think all of us have taken that in our own direction. \nStefan Pellegrini: But I think I’m most interested in how the newer board members \nStefan Pellegrini: sort of interpret these questions. \nStefan Pellegrini: and they are direct enough \nStefan Pellegrini: in terms of sort of asking the needs of sort of what they want to get out of them\, because I think from my perspective\, it came out of this like institutional. \nStefan Pellegrini: just repetition \nStefan Pellegrini: of being able to sort of infuse\, I think\, to Staff. I think sometimes you’ll see me ask you\, is this what you’re asking here? Because it’s sort of not 100% clear. But we have a process where \nStefan Pellegrini: that is actually all \nStefan Pellegrini: are workable. \nStefan Pellegrini: Right? We don’t run end up at an impasse\, or in a situation where we can’t ask those questions. And so I don’t see that as a problem \nStefan Pellegrini: a lot of this in my mind would \nStefan Pellegrini: like the other thing that would make the staff report simpler \nStefan Pellegrini: would be the application of more objective guidance. \nStefan Pellegrini: And so\, if the Bay plan\, if the if the if the public wrong policies were more objectively oriented. \nStefan Pellegrini: there would be less space for us to be actually \nStefan Pellegrini: inputting our judgment. \nStefan Pellegrini: But we have a situation where \nStefan Pellegrini: the design guidelines are very subjective. \nStefan Pellegrini: And so there’s there’s there’s a need for us to sort of do what we’re doing. \nStefan Pellegrini: The other layer. To that. I think that I think everybody recognizes that the things that are \nStefan Pellegrini: that we are asked to consider \nStefan Pellegrini: it is incredibly difficult for to objectify those things. \nStefan Pellegrini: and so we’re looking at questions of \nStefan Pellegrini: timing what we should weigh when there are environmental justice issues. This questions about adequacy in my mind are not objective. And so the Bay\, the the Desired View Board\, is \nStefan Pellegrini: providing a very useful \nStefan Pellegrini: role in sort of helping \nStefan Pellegrini: to direct that. \nStefan Pellegrini: and that all I think sort of goes back to the basis that’s provided \nStefan Pellegrini: the extensive basis is actually provided in the staff report. \nStefan Pellegrini: I’m gonna stop there. \nYerba Buena SX80: Yeah\, thanks\, Stefan. Super helpful. Let’s just keep going. I I just wanna make sure that everyone \nYerba Buena SX80: can provide some. Input. And then we can talk further. Leo\, why don’t we go to you? Yeah. \nYerba Buena SX80: sure. Thank you. Maybe before I dive into\, I do have one follow up question\, which is\, it sounds like you’re using the report in other for other purposes. Writing permits other settings. Are there other uses of the report that are \nYerba Buena SX80: important. \nYerba Buena SX80: Well\, I guess it’s you know\, once it’s out there\, like as a public record\, there are\, like many different reasons why we might go back to look at a report. And so yeah\, yes\, we \nYerba Buena SX80: every with every staff report\, especially if we have multiple \nYerba Buena SX80: sessions on a single project. Like that\, information might get built upon\, built upon\, built upon\, so that we can use it to share information about the project with other people on staff. So if we do an internal presentation\, we might use some of that information again. To help bring other people up to speed. \nYerba Buena SX80: we might share some of this information with like partners or other agencies that are working on the same project\, so that they have the information that we have \nYerba Buena SX80: we might use it for the application summary that goes out to the commission ahead of the meeting where they consider the project\, and in the draft of the permit\, which is the staff recommendation that we share with them when they vote \nYerba Buena SX80: and then\, as Ashley was saying\, when we go back \nYerba Buena SX80: to kind of see like well\, what was the intent behind like. \nYerba Buena SX80: you know? Why? Why do we think this condition was written this way or like\, why\, did this \nYerba Buena SX80: part of the project end up looking like this? Or you know that where there might be some questions later on\, might. Something feels a little vague like we use it for research\, and then also\, you know\, to train staff. I think one of the things. Maybe\, that we haven’t mentioned yet is that and this is very true for me personally is writing. The staff report is one of the ways that staff becomes really familiar with the project. \nYerba Buena SX80: because that is like maybe one of the 1st times that they’re really asked to sit down and explain it in detail to another person. And start actually thinking through some of the you know questions that they might have to answer. When you know they go up\, you know\, in front of our other staff\, or like other or the Commission\, and so on. So \nYerba Buena SX80: it does serve like a number of different \nYerba Buena SX80: purposes. I think everything we do. We try to \nYerba Buena SX80: multitask as much as possible. \nYerba Buena SX80: Yeah. And and that might be something that \nYerba Buena SX80: might have not been fully considered when \nYerba Buena SX80: the drive for efficiency was being brought up was that there is actually a lot of uses for this which is terrific. \nYerba Buena SX80: I’ll maybe as as a sort of interim tenure person\, I’ll just say that\, having sat on other boards of public commissions\, etc. \nYerba Buena SX80: the thoroughness\, these reports are very\, very impressive\, and I as a new newer board member\, I found them incredibly helpful \nYerba Buena SX80: to \nYerba Buena SX80: focus in on what are the issues? What are the questions before us. I think one of the things that is perhaps unique about \nYerba Buena SX80: this particular design Review Board is that what we’re looking to is. \nYerba Buena SX80: in addition to overall design. Excellence\, I think\, is really a complex set of regulations and master plans and policies and guidelines. I mean\, there’s it’s not like we’re sitting down in front of the planning commission and referring to the planning code. \nYerba Buena SX80: Right? It’s there. There’s a lot of of underlying \nYerba Buena SX80: regulations and policies that we’re trying to make sure that the design solution is providing the best solution. For \nYerba Buena SX80: so I think \nYerba Buena SX80: the thoroughness of the report is incredibly helpful in that because it otherwise\, it’s it’s a lot of lot of information\, for I think anybody to try and sift through and organize and understand. \nYerba Buena SX80: that said\, I think. \nYerba Buena SX80: one of the things is. There’s probably sort of 3 layers of information\, I think\, in the reports\, which is one are that are sort of the simple quantitative aspects of the project. Where is it? How big is it? What is it involved? Right? And then? The second\, what category might be the quantitative elements that are in the codes. So \nYerba Buena SX80: public access. How is that being supported? And then the qualitative ones that are perhaps harder to PIN down\, and really require judgment and experience and a particular design viewpoint. \nYerba Buena SX80: I think it’s. And so for me. \nYerba Buena SX80: I think that \nYerba Buena SX80: I do wonder if some of the \nYerba Buena SX80: basic facts of the project could be something that could be \nYerba Buena SX80: almost set into a form\, that is. \nYerba Buena SX80: every applicant is expected to fill out and put on Page one of their documents\, and we could read it. \nYerba Buena SX80: save that’s probably the easy part of the report for you guys\, so probably doesn’t save a lot of time. \nYerba Buena SX80: I do think that the idea of \nYerba Buena SX80: more of a intro paragraph and an outline. \nYerba Buena SX80: you know\, particularly when it comes to things like\, permit history and \nYerba Buena SX80: the the existing conditions. I think. You know\, those kinds of things are more factual. \nYerba Buena SX80: Again\, outline \nYerba Buena SX80: form probably be easier actually for you to produce and us to digest \nYerba Buena SX80: and then \nYerba Buena SX80: and then really focus on. I think\, the the analysis\, the regulatory analysis. I think that’s where I I have found the report to be most helpful that is in understanding what is being \nYerba Buena SX80: really what is being proposed? And does it meet the expectations. And and you know those where the questions often tied to so so you know\, I don’t know if there’s \nYerba Buena SX80: this is very specific. But you know\, for example\, there’s this proposed project \nYerba Buena SX80: descriptions. \nYerba Buena SX80: And then there’s the commission plans\, policies\, and guidelines\, and \nYerba Buena SX80: I almost \nYerba Buena SX80: I mean it. It’s so clear right now\, I’m sort of reluctant to suggest anything specific. But I am. I am curious at some point. Maybe \nYerba Buena SX80: if there are thoughts from those who write them \nYerba Buena SX80: of of areas that you think \nYerba Buena SX80: might be ways of streamlining the the writing without losing the content. \nYerba Buena SX80: Yeah. But \nYerba Buena SX80: yeah\, I like\, I said\, I\, I’ve I’ve found this to be incredibly helpful. \nYerba Buena SX80: Thanks\, Larry. Okay\, let’s keep going here\, Patricia. I do want to. \nYerba Buena SX80: weigh in. \nPatricia Fonseca Flores | CMG | she\, her: Yes. Hello\, everyone\, thank you. \nPatricia Fonseca Flores | CMG | she\, her: I do have a question before I start. \nPatricia Fonseca Flores | CMG | she\, her: in the examples provided and on the \nPatricia Fonseca Flores | CMG | she\, her: on the reviews I’ve been on. There’s reference of the exhibits themselves. Are we to assume that those \nPatricia Fonseca Flores | CMG | she\, her: are separate from \nPatricia Fonseca Flores | CMG | she\, her: a staff report. \nPatricia Fonseca Flores | CMG | she\, her: or are you considering them as part of the staff report. \nPatricia Fonseca Flores | CMG | she\, her: I guess this is for Ashley or one of the staff members. \nYerba Buena SX80: They are both separate\, and the same \nYerba Buena SX80: report relies on the exhibits to be graphic representation of what the narrative is stating. \nYerba Buena SX80: I think most of the people in this room relate better to graphics than they do to long paragraphs. \nYerba Buena SX80: just an assumption on my part. \nPatricia Fonseca Flores | CMG | she\, her: Throughout. \nYerba Buena SX80: But it it. The exhibits are produced by the project proponent\, and then\, when Staff are writing the reports where there is an exhibit that illustrates what the writing is trying to state. \nYerba Buena SX80: It will reference that exhibit. And usually there’s a link\, and it will go back and forth. \nPatricia Fonseca Flores | CMG | she\, her: Right \nPatricia Fonseca Flores | CMG | she\, her: right? And and my comment is very\, Oh\, go ahead. \nYerba Buena SX80: No\, I think\, keep going. Okay. Patricia. Yeah. \nPatricia Fonseca Flores | CMG | she\, her: Yes\, my comment is very much related to that\, because as a reviewer\, I find myself obviously going back and forth between \nPatricia Fonseca Flores | CMG | she\, her: the the written staff report and the exhibits themselves. \nPatricia Fonseca Flores | CMG | she\, her: there’s a question as to whether the graphics included are helpful\, and those\, I guess\, are technically. \nPatricia Fonseca Flores | CMG | she\, her: you know\, labeled as figures that are in the staff report itself not\, and they’re not directing the reviewer to go to the \nPatricia Fonseca Flores | CMG | she\, her: to the exhibits. \nPatricia Fonseca Flores | CMG | she\, her: But I do wonder if \nPatricia Fonseca Flores | CMG | she\, her: there are more key graphics that are included in the staff report as figures. \nPatricia Fonseca Flores | CMG | she\, her: Because \nPatricia Fonseca Flores | CMG | she\, her: you know by nature\, because it is a design review. \nPatricia Fonseca Flores | CMG | she\, her: then those graphics are essential. \nPatricia Fonseca Flores | CMG | she\, her: And \nPatricia Fonseca Flores | CMG | she\, her: yes\, I’m I’m 1 of the newer members. And so I I do appreciate how much context is is given in the staff report and definitely agree with \nPatricia Fonseca Flores | CMG | she\, her: lot of the comments made today about how thorough they are. I think my comments are. If if there is an interest in \nPatricia Fonseca Flores | CMG | she\, her: finding efficiencies. \nPatricia Fonseca Flores | CMG | she\, her: then I would maybe suggest if some of the graphics or the exhibits themselves are doing the work. \nPatricia Fonseca Flores | CMG | she\, her: and so to consider whether the redundancy of the written \nPatricia Fonseca Flores | CMG | she\, her: description of what the graphics are explaining is actually needed. \nPatricia Fonseca Flores | CMG | she\, her: again\, that’s assuming that the graphics from the proponent are very clear. \nPatricia Fonseca Flores | CMG | she\, her: and you know. \nPatricia Fonseca Flores | CMG | she\, her: thoughtfully developed. And so I can understand that maybe the description helps provide a little more. If if that’s not the case. \nPatricia Fonseca Flores | CMG | she\, her: and I I would also add that \nPatricia Fonseca Flores | CMG | she\, her: I I agree with Tom on on also in the interest of of efficiency. If \nPatricia Fonseca Flores | CMG | she\, her: if bullet points are \nPatricia Fonseca Flores | CMG | she\, her: a really great way of being able to \nPatricia Fonseca Flores | CMG | she\, her: force a summarized version of what goes in the staff report? \nPatricia Fonseca Flores | CMG | she\, her: But really\, when you’re getting to maybe some of the items that are included in the exhibits. \nPatricia Fonseca Flores | CMG | she\, her: Obviously the introduction of of the project and kind of there. There does need to be a narrative. That kind of sets the stage of the project. But perhaps\, as you progress in the staff report\, there’s an opportunity for more bullets. \nPatricia Fonseca Flores | CMG | she\, her: So I would. I would agree with that? \nPatricia Fonseca Flores | CMG | she\, her: Finally\, I do agree that the the questions are very helpful. \nPatricia Fonseca Flores | CMG | she\, her: and assuming that there’s \nPatricia Fonseca Flores | CMG | she\, her: there’s kind of the cycle of newer members every once in a while. Then\, having kind of the the habit or the good practice of of \nPatricia Fonseca Flores | CMG | she\, her: of the framing questions that help guide the conversation\, I think. \nPatricia Fonseca Flores | CMG | she\, her: are really really useful and and very helpful. \nPatricia Fonseca Flores | CMG | she\, her: but yeah\, I think a lot of a lot of comments that I had in mind were also already mentioned. \nYerba Buena SX80: Well\, thanks\, Patricia\, that’s actually really \nYerba Buena SX80: useful. Input I think the conversation between \nYerba Buena SX80: the exhibits\, the interaction between the exhibits and the report is is an important \nYerba Buena SX80: part of what we should be providing feedback on. Cody comments. \nCody Anderson: Yeah\, I’ll be. I’ll be brief \nCody Anderson: in. In my limited experience \nCody Anderson: on the board that the staff report is so \nCody Anderson: so integral to the process. It had not even occurred to me that it could be different. \nCody Anderson: and it is \nCody Anderson: absolutely what I rely on to understand the project in \nCody Anderson: thoroughly and concisely \nCody Anderson: so. I don’t really have any suggestions for improvements\, but I’ll also just mention\, you know\, times when I’ve been on the consultant side. \nCody Anderson: I think the \nCody Anderson: The staff report\, especially for \nCody Anderson: new or less experienced applicants. \nCody Anderson: establishes a \nCody Anderson: kind of a level of thoroughness and professionalism \nCody Anderson: that might be attention catching \nCody Anderson: for people who \nCody Anderson: maybe didn’t. \nCody Anderson: We’re under prepared \nCody Anderson: for the process of going through Bcbc. And in in that regard I think it’s it’s really positive to have such a you know\, such a complete document. That’s that’s publicly available. And \nCody Anderson: and I think that people sometimes view Bcdc. As \nCody Anderson: as an obstacle or as a opponent. \nCody Anderson: And \nCody Anderson: and I think it can help change the channel when they see that the approach that’s laid out through the whole process\, including the staff. \nYerba Buena SX80: Thanks. Cody. \nYerba Buena SX80: Bob\, why don’t you weigh in? Give \nYerba Buena SX80: some of your thoughts? Yes\, thank you. \nYerba Buena SX80: yeah. I also\, for some reason\, didn’t think that the staff reports \nYerba Buena SX80: might be modified or should be changed. I kind of looked at them as \nYerba Buena SX80: the staff’s \nYerba Buena SX80: perspective on the project\, and that’s who I thought we were. I think that we’re \nYerba Buena SX80: here to help as well as well as the applicant \nYerba Buena SX80: and I also \nYerba Buena SX80: anticipated that there were discussions between the applicant and the staff\, and so that it was \nYerba Buena SX80: actually\, you know\, a really good thing for us to have\, and what was emphasized \nYerba Buena SX80: or not emphasized\, was \nYerba Buena SX80: in in a way\, guidance for us. \nYerba Buena SX80: even though you know I’m \nYerba Buena SX80: I think we all always look for things that might be missing\, or that kind of thing. So I actually like the reports. I think they’re good \nYerba Buena SX80: and I want to shift gears a little bit and actually suggest something that \nYerba Buena SX80: I would like to see in addition\, which is probably not what anyone wants to hear. But \nYerba Buena SX80: one of the things I’ve been struggling with is \nYerba Buena SX80: historically\, we’ve looked at fixed property lines and zonings and developments and stuff\, and \nYerba Buena SX80: but with sea level rise the bay is moving. The hazards are moving. \nYerba Buena SX80: The ecology\, the habitats are moving. \nYerba Buena SX80: and people are gonna move sooner or later\, or the other\, or upper end\, or something\, or do something. So. But the \nYerba Buena SX80: what? What I’m missing in these \nYerba Buena SX80: is\, what are the future conditions within the planning horizon? \nYerba Buena SX80: And \nYerba Buena SX80: we do get some of that. And I think the staff uses what’s available. \nYerba Buena SX80: And so I think the problem I have is is a bigger problem\, one that no one’s really provided. It’s you know\, the the shore atlas is helpful. The \nYerba Buena SX80: subtitle goals and wetlands\, goals and all the planning documents are helpful to the extent they’re looked at. \nYerba Buena SX80: And so we get what we can. But but fundamentally\, we have a problem where we’re looking at a site\, we have a hundred foot shore\, and \nYerba Buena SX80: if they don’t\, if the developer\, whoever doesn’t encroach on that 100 foot shore. \nYerba Buena SX80: they’re certainly going to try to put all the all the shore. Parallel access in there\, and the shore may be completely arbitrary. \nYerba Buena SX80: Have nothing to do with natural processes might just be something somebody did a hundred or 200 years ago\, and filled it with God knows what. \nYerba Buena SX80: And then\, if you put the bay trail there\, which is this concrete thing\, you have to armor it and protect it for a hundred year event and all that. So we’re basically we’re not adapting. \nYerba Buena SX80: really. And the adaptation plan is well\, we’ll build a wall higher\, and we’ll lift the trail\, or you know\, whatever somebody will fix it for us or I. So I I’m I’m not being negative. I don’t think but I’m just pointing out that I think the sea Level Rise \nYerba Buena SX80: component is \nYerba Buena SX80: a game changer\, and it it needs even more attention. \nYerba Buena SX80: Whereas I think the 7 public access objectives \nYerba Buena SX80: are not contrary to that\, but could all be informed by that \nYerba Buena SX80: the other\, the social access\, I mean social \nYerba Buena SX80: and other social issues\, I think\, kind of fall into that as well into that as well\, and and are in a way the sea level rise in climate change is an opportunity to kind of redevelop things. \nYerba Buena SX80: reimagine things \nYerba Buena SX80: hard to do on a parcel level. But then\, now we’re talking about this regional and sub regional \nYerba Buena SX80: planning. \nYerba Buena SX80: I’d like to see a little bit more about. What municipalities policies are. \nYerba Buena SX80: We’ve been confronted with that recently. \nYerba Buena SX80: With one or more cities that have sea level rise policies. And \nYerba Buena SX80: and then\, you know\, there’s 1 or more flood control agencies which usually our county\, which is different than the city \nYerba Buena SX80: that have \nYerba Buena SX80: policies and \nYerba Buena SX80: bigger projects and stuff. So there’s all this other policy stuff that you know we get a document. It’s like\, well\, this is the policy. This is how it’s there’s\, you know. \nYerba Buena SX80: So I would like to see a little bit more of that. I think that’s gonna come in. \nYerba Buena SX80: to as it becomes available as it’s addressed. As we’re all learning \nYerba Buena SX80: things that could be added. I think\, a little more specifically\, they are in there. \nYerba Buena SX80: and it’s gotten easier for me to review things. But \nYerba Buena SX80: is stuff like \nYerba Buena SX80: other pertinent information. \nYerba Buena SX80: the title datums in terms of a land datum like an Abd. \nYerba Buena SX80: there are different datums port of Oakland\, San Francisco. They all have different day\, whatever\, but that that’s been better\, and that’s really good. I I am interested in. And I think this is in there the ecology areas that are adjacent and \nYerba Buena SX80: the sure Atlas helps a little bit. But you know. \nYerba Buena SX80: the way I’ve always looked at things been trained to do is multiple objectives. So if a wetland exists in one place and seal rises. It’s going to want to move or it’s going to drown. \nYerba Buena SX80: so does the project accommodate that\, or is the net result of the project to \nYerba Buena SX80: doom the marsh to being drowned\, you know. And what \nYerba Buena SX80: is that considered? Is there a natural nature based \nYerba Buena SX80: option\, or something that could be considered by the designers. So I think again\, that the big picture is\, you have \nYerba Buena SX80: a built challenge because the base coming up\, and the water’s moving in. Groundwater’s coming up. \nYerba Buena SX80: There’s gonna be higher \nYerba Buena SX80: precipitation in Tennessee \nYerba Buena SX80: Creek flows combined\, flooding all this stuff. And then there’s erosion. There’s waves which really aren’t considered in the light at this level\, anyway\, at this. \nYerba Buena SX80: And I don’t really see the applicants tuned into that. I think they’re focused on\, and in their interest \nYerba Buena SX80: maximizing revenue on their development \nYerba Buena SX80: in their parcel. \nYerba Buena SX80: So I don’t know what all the answers are\, but I I think\, starting to talk about how things are changing. And there’s this fundamental conflict. \nYerba Buena SX80: which is a design challenge\, especially if we’re talking about being resilient. \nYerba Buena SX80: But also it’s an opportunity. I like to think of it as redevelopment\, if you will. \nYerba Buena SX80: So anyway\, I I just but I really like the staff reports\, and I’ve been doing this for a while\, so I can look at things\, have our access\, so I can kind of see stuff. \nYerba Buena SX80: But I think it would be good for the applicants. Just maybe there’s some questions that they could be asked\, and then maybe we can get the the San Francisco Bay \nYerba Buena SX80: through Rsap or otherwise\, to start providing this information in a format that is more accessible to the staff. \nYerba Buena SX80: So that we\, you know\, it’s just easier as we \nYerba Buena SX80: we learn. So those are my comments. Thank you. \nYerba Buena SX80: Yeah\, thanks\, Bob. \nYerba Buena SX80: always really insightful. I’m just going to add a couple of things. I mean\, everything has basically been covered. But from \nYerba Buena SX80: from my standpoint\, I I just want to \nYerba Buena SX80: pick up on context for a minute psych context. I I would say\, over the years. \nYerba Buena SX80: I think. We’ve seen \nYerba Buena SX80: numerous projects where? \nYerba Buena SX80: Yeah\, the the Site plan basically ends\, of course\, at the property line. And yet the connections for public access are are \nYerba Buena SX80: not always well handled. And \nYerba Buena SX80: so we’ve talked about this in reviews over the years. But I just think the the window for \nYerba Buena SX80: those plans\, and the way in which the staff can perhaps make your life easier by making sure that the proponent probably dresses a little more context around the shoreline bands\, I think\, makes for a better review \nYerba Buena SX80: it. It makes it easier for everyone. But I would say the critical for me. \nYerba Buena SX80: and I have to say\, been on the board a long time\, and\, you know\, going back years when I was extremely busy with work\, I didn’t always get out to the site. But in recent years I always go to the site. And I I think the material that is included which is excellent. The social and environmental context. \nYerba Buena SX80: you know\, other material in the report is just so much easier to interpret if you just go and take it out on site and read the report on site. And so I just \nYerba Buena SX80: would encourage everyone. If you can find the time to get out onto the site and just spend\, you know. \nYerba Buena SX80: spend half an hour or an hour on site. It can. It can help a lot \nYerba Buena SX80: to sit through \nYerba Buena SX80: some quite complex materials \nYerba Buena SX80: up. \nYerba Buena SX80: you know. I think the question of policy and design I would just come back to. You know the makeup of the board is intentionally \nYerba Buena SX80: you know\, structured\, so that there are people who are a little more \nYerba Buena SX80: facile around policy people who are very strong on design. You know\, some people more technical. \nYerba Buena SX80: Certainly the engineering with with it’s just so great to have people like\, you know\, Bob and Cody. And you know\, it makes a big difference. And so because the issues are so complex. And what we’re looking at is challenging. \nYerba Buena SX80: I think it’s okay to say\, you know. \nYerba Buena SX80: a couple of the board members we know are going to really \nYerba Buena SX80: know that issue. So and own that issue so focus on the issues where we each have our strengths. And I think that makes for a really good review. When people do that\, we don’t all have to \nYerba Buena SX80: be on top of everything. But and for me. \nYerba Buena SX80: speaking personally\, you know\, I’ve always found the the policies are somebody I think you mentioned earlier. You know. The policies are are often. \nYerba Buena SX80: you know\, they’re not really specific. So you know\, when you’re trying to tie them down to the project\, it can be challenging\, so help from Staff\, you know. Maybe \nYerba Buena SX80: clarity as much clarity around. You know what policy might be particularly important to this particular project would would be helpful. \nYerba Buena SX80: I I’d say\, over the years the Board questions \nYerba Buena SX80: have varied in their helpfulness. Sometimes \nYerba Buena SX80: you’d sitting there\, as I think Stefan or somebody else mentioned\, really \nYerba Buena SX80: trying to compose the question. That’s behind the question that is actually written in the \nYerba Buena SX80: staff questions. And and \nYerba Buena SX80: and I think sometimes \nYerba Buena SX80: if if there may be some reason why it’s \nYerba Buena SX80: crafted that way. \nYerba Buena SX80: and certainly the board. I’ve seen many instances over the years where the the staff is quite passionate about some issue related to the project\, and the Board \nYerba Buena SX80: says\, you know\, that’s not a problem at all. And then\, you know\, that’s exactly how that \nYerba Buena SX80: process should work. And I don’t think that’s an issue at all. If if Staff put out something a little more specifically\, you know about what concern there may be\, you know\, in a question\, and then we \nYerba Buena SX80: can discuss it\, and you know\, come back\, come\, provide feedback. But if the questions are very clear. \nYerba Buena SX80: then we tend to just \nYerba Buena SX80: not give them much attention in the review\, I think\, you know\, and sometimes the questions just \nYerba Buena SX80: don’t seem to match what our impressions are of the project on the night\, too\, so \nYerba Buena SX80: that couldn’t. \nYerba Buena SX80: So sometimes they’re spot on\, and sometimes there’s\, you know\, some \nYerba Buena SX80: differences I think of. You know\, where we would see critical questions of what would have been brought up by the staff\, but regardless I’m just providing my reflections. But \nYerba Buena SX80: drafting the questions is really important. And so\, you know\, just making it as clear as possible in terms of the issues that you’re all concerned with. \nYerba Buena SX80: Very helpful \nYerba Buena SX80: you know\, Bob\, to your point about \nYerba Buena SX80: the impact of sea level rise and we talk. As you know\, we’ve all talked about this. Gary\, I think\, was probably the 1st person to really become specific on this topic\, and years ago\, and \nYerba Buena SX80: you know\, I think \nYerba Buena SX80: if the proponents \nYerba Buena SX80: can be encouraged to \nYerba Buena SX80: dive a bit deeper on adaptation\, exactly what the options could be\, you know. \nYerba Buena SX80: Could they? \nYerba Buena SX80: A trail \nYerba Buena SX80: move out of the 100 foot shoreline bands into their \nYerba Buena SX80: property? \nYerba Buena SX80: If that can work with a design\, you know. Is that why not? You know\, just to encourage. \nYerba Buena SX80: because you all talk to the proponents hopefully when there’s some flexibility in what they’re doing. So I you know\, I think\, being proactive on that \nYerba Buena SX80: topic\, you know. \nYerba Buena SX80: Have you considered adaptation? And of course\, with this new plan coming through\, I think you know\, we’ll they’ll there’ll be a lot more teeth\, a lot more material for proposed things out there. But \nYerba Buena SX80: you’re right at this time\, we’re basically\, you know\, putting up \nYerba Buena SX80: revetment more or less\, you know\, at the at the shoreline\, increasingly doing that. And \nYerba Buena SX80: it’s not really best practice for \nYerba Buena SX80: what we’re facing in the years to come. \nYerba Buena SX80: Can. Can we discuss this just for a second? Had a comment. So you know. So\, having worked on the Pacific coast quite a bit. One of the things that people work with \nYerba Buena SX80: on the on the Pacific coast is this idea of a setback. \nYerba Buena SX80: and usually the setback is a distance farther inland than you might think of \nYerba Buena SX80: constructing something now. And so you get into this concept of a maybe a rolling easement \nYerba Buena SX80: for the 100 foot shoreline ban. And\, in fact\, the so I understand it. I’m not a lawyer\, but the \nYerba Buena SX80: the high tide line \nYerba Buena SX80: defining \nYerba Buena SX80: these boundaries \nYerba Buena SX80: is a line that moves and blocking it from moving is \nYerba Buena SX80: not necessarily a way of preventing it from moving in a legal sense. So \nYerba Buena SX80: yeah\, nobody really wants to go there. Of course\, there’s lots of\, you know\, implications and angst with that kind of thing. But \nYerba Buena SX80: yeah\, I just say\, the idea of a setback which is actually in one of the old documents that I guess 19 \nYerba Buena SX80: 1998. Sea level rise report by Vcdc. Has a a chapter on \nYerba Buena SX80: design criteria for shore protection\, and it actually shows \nYerba Buena SX80: a setback from the edge of the protection for waves and and flooding \nYerba Buena SX80: before you. You build something. So there is some linkage in the past to this idea of \nYerba Buena SX80: providing space\, and that included \nYerba Buena SX80: the increase of sea level rise as part of the criteria. How you calculate that that’s more of an engineering thing. But \nYerba Buena SX80: it’s also a coastal floodplain management concept to consider future future encroachments because of the migration of \nYerba Buena SX80: of the hazard. Yeah. Yeah. So anyway\, I just said\, just throw that out there. I don’t \nYerba Buena SX80: think anyone’s prepared to \nYerba Buena SX80: necessarily talk about \nYerba Buena SX80: rolling easements and and migrating shoreline vans. \nYerba Buena SX80: but it is kind of a logical concept \nYerba Buena SX80: to consider as is as an option. I think so. I don’t know. So just throw that up there. \nYerba Buena SX80: No thanks\, Bob. \nYerba Buena SX80: I look just the final point Patricia brought up. You know\, the relationship between the proponent materials and the report\, and I I think that was an incredibly important point. And \nYerba Buena SX80: there’s no question that when we have better proponent materials more complete\, particularly in the in the\, as I find in the aspects of you know how to really understand how they have arrived at some of the solutions that they’ve arrived at. You know what what they \nYerba Buena SX80: what they have \nYerba Buena SX80: thought process has been in the context of Bcdc. And and \nYerba Buena SX80: of course we all know if you’re a proponent project proponent\, this is just yet another step in a very long\, complicated process\, and they have to come before the board\, and \nYerba Buena SX80: it can be pretty frustrating and annoying for them to have to produce all the material in a way that you need it. But you’re talking to them pretty early in the process. \nYerba Buena SX80: I think\, more often these days not always\, but more often. We’ve talked about all of that in the past as well\, but but I think encouraging the proponents to \nYerba Buena SX80: and and to even have a couple of examples of packages that \nYerba Buena SX80: you know. Address your. \nYerba Buena SX80: You know that. Go well. In terms of process\, because they \nYerba Buena SX80: have addressed these sorts of\, you know\, fundamental aspects that \nYerba Buena SX80: we’re looking for to be able to comment effectively. I mean\, I that could would be helpful to a proponent. I think. \nYerba Buena SX80: Maybe they \nYerba Buena SX80: find that material themselves\, but because I think that that’s often \nYerba Buena SX80: that relationship. It can be a very good written report. The narrative can be great\, but if the exhibits \nYerba Buena SX80: are a bit deficient\, I remember \nYerba Buena SX80: I don’t know. Maybe 18 months ago or so there was. \nYerba Buena SX80: It was \nYerba Buena SX80: a a corporate office project. But the design exhibits were so sort of vague\, even graphically\, that it was very hard to read them\, and that made the review quite\, quite difficult. So \nYerba Buena SX80: I mean\, just basic things like that. I could. And that is outside what we’re talking about specifically on the staff report. But these 2 \nYerba Buena SX80: things really do need to\, you know\, be locked in together to make your job easier. \nYerba Buena SX80: So look\, that’s I think that’s Gary. You want to add something just briefly\, the longest\, most difficult meetings we have are when the the exhibits are thin\, and then\, and the board is sitting here trying to figure out what’s going on\, and it takes a long time to get there. You have to interrogate\, you know. You have to ask a hundred questions. \nYerba Buena SX80: and we have like an hour of discovery sometimes before we get to the comments. So that’s the flip side of whatever it was that I think\, Stefan said\, that you know you need a really really detailed report in order to\, you know\, be able to give your response on a very important site within 5 min\, you know. Essentially\, we’re all speaking for 5 min. How do you condense all this information into this very concise statement? Yeah\, so very good. \nYerba Buena SX80: I’m sorry. Hmm. \nYerba Buena SX80: one question. \nYerba Buena SX80: I know there’s the. \nYerba Buena SX80: I think there’s a list of materials that’s recommended for submission. \nYerba Buena SX80: Does Staff ever \nYerba Buena SX80: say to the project \nYerba Buena SX80: applicant states. \nYerba Buena SX80: The materials are inadequate\, they they do not meet the standards\, and therefore please resubmit. \nYerba Buena SX80: Yes\, we do. Draft exhibits are usually due 45 days before the meeting. I take a week and a half to like\, really review them and like point them into what information needs to be better framed. And then they need to resubmit the exhibits. So they’re accessible. I will say we’ve used some Cmg exec packages few times as like exemplary examples\, especially with the like \nYerba Buena SX80: second and 3rd reviews. And how they’ve responded. I think Cmg. Did it really successfully in one of the burling game projects. And so I’ve used that and shown that to people a few times\, yeah\, great\, yeah\, great. Anyone else want to make some \nYerba Buena SX80: further comments. \nYerba Buena SX80: So yeah\, yeah. \nYerba Buena SX80: it’s it feels a little. It feels a little inappropriate somehow to do this. But I guess this is a this is a different kind of meeting. But yeah\, I I had a few. These are not in any particular order. \nYerba Buena SX80: but I mean I I’ll just say for myself\, speaking personally for myself\, like as a person who’s who’s written? Any of these reports edited it and added to them\, \nYerba Buena SX80: along this \nYerba Buena SX80: the \nYerba Buena SX80: design analyst. \nYerba Buena SX80: I I often wonder you know. \nYerba Buena SX80: yeah\, it it do. They make sense\, you know? Do they make sense to you as the reader? The public\, of course\, but also to the board. And are they facilitating the process? And how much of the how much of the discussion is facilitated by the report versus the exhibits\, and sort of what’s \nYerba Buena SX80: where’s you know? Where does your mind go as a reviewer first\, st I mean\, are you? Are you reading the report in full\, looking at the exhibits. You’re reading the exhibits 1st going back to the report\, and just sort of where the the real sort of bang for the buck is because I think that’s that’s part of the question we’re trying to answer \nYerba Buena SX80: and I like. I guess I’m happy to hear that no one\, no one\, at least no one\, was being very clever\, no one said. I find the reports confusing. You know. I can’t follow them sometimes the narrow descriptions of you know the geography of the site which are which are difficult to write for me\, at least. \nYerba Buena SX80: folks are able to read them\, or at least they’re able to read them in contact in the context of the exhibits. So that that’s good to know. \nYerba Buena SX80: I \nYerba Buena SX80: I \nYerba Buena SX80: think that \nYerba Buena SX80: the the the discussion on questions was really helpful for me. \nYerba Buena SX80: I think that as a staff we sort of are \nYerba Buena SX80: sometimes trying to telegraph specific concerns. We have and it’s it’s great to be able to do that directly. But sometimes we are. \nYerba Buena SX80: Also not trying to get in front of the board. We we really do want to hear your \nYerba Buena SX80: initial reactions and in in many cases you’re you’re bringing the expertise that that we either lack at the staff level or that we are looking to have greatly have the issues sort of greatly expanded for us. So I I it was interesting just to hear that conversation. And I’m not sure we’ll go with that exactly. And Ashley\, and you have ideas. But but that’s that’s just sort of to. I mean\, maybe answer sort of the \nYerba Buena SX80: the issue that you put out there that sometimes we are trying to get some pointed feedback\, and sometimes we are not trying to get too much in front of it\, because we want sort of the conversation to evolve. So it’s just interesting to think about that. And it sounds like\, maybe there’s some appetite for us to be a little bit more direct in in some cases. Really\, that’s the consensus. I think I was hearing \nYerba Buena SX80: and then this is really outside the box\, but\, \nYerba Buena SX80: A number of years ago we had a similar conversation for \nYerba Buena SX80: the Commission itself\, and we looked at the lengthy \nYerba Buena SX80: staff reports that we provided to them\, and actually made a decision to slow them down. Quite a bit. And I bring that up. Not not so much to to say that that’s what should happen here. But when we did it we brought in a urban planning professor who held a workshop for the commission and presented her research was on on orthodox ways to present staff present information for planning commissions \nYerba Buena SX80: and she was sort of discussing the the avant garde approaches to staff reports. And you know\, this was. \nYerba Buena SX80: I think\, 6 or 7 years ago now\, but one of those was more reliance on video. And \nYerba Buena SX80: that really made me think about the comment\, Justin\, today\, you made about well\, when I go out to the site and I have the staff report with me\, you know. That’s when it really kind of clicks. And I know that. One thing we’ve done\, Andrea Gaffney sort of pioneered this for us\, but we oftentimes get a sort of a rapid video of the site. And I think that really helps in the context of our meetings. It. It just occurred to me\, hearing that comment\, thinking about that sort of \nYerba Buena SX80: that that video that we prepare. I\, you know\, maybe there’s some. Maybe there’s something just as some idea to explore. Maybe there’s something that we could look at in terms of helping provide that site. Context? \nYerba Buena SX80: in a more \nYerba Buena SX80: video or or sort of a different form. Or we could ask applicants to produce some of the just some like different multimedia ways to sort of understand site conditions. Just just I don’t know if that’s that’s feasible. But I just just made me think. \nYerba Buena SX80: And then one last thing I wanted to say\, this is a response to to I think mostly your comments\, Bob\, but certainly others\, too\, that there’s there’s some things that you’d like to see\, either emphasize more that you definitely don’t want to lose\, or they even want to expand it in the staff reports\, and I think those are really helpful comments for us here\, too. Because I think that we’re hearing there’s some places where we could pull back a little bit and redirect staff resources to \nYerba Buena SX80: expanding. I think the conversations around. it sounds like there’s a strong desire for have some additional information about resilience and sea level rise conditions of the site\, but also \nYerba Buena SX80: I heard that with nature based solutions and sort of opportunities at the site\, too\, which I mean are something part of our discussions. But I don’t know that we’ve necessarily dedicated sections of the report to those before. So those strike me as interesting comments\, too. So \nYerba Buena SX80: that’s just my! Those are the things that pop out for me. Do you think it would \nYerba Buena SX80: would be worthwhile asking the applicant? If they’ve \nYerba Buena SX80: consider those or \nYerba Buena SX80: I don’t know. I’m just trying to think of a way \nYerba Buena SX80: to achieve that or get it started without being a big burden. Yeah\, I and maybe I should start talking and short\, Ashley. But I I think that’s kind of for particularly the you know\, that are pre application discussions. We really are. Having to have \nYerba Buena SX80: a kind of give and take relationship with the with the the applicant team. Because you know we don’t. We don’t have a formal application. We don’t have a record necessarily to build off of so absent going out and doing sort of independent research\, which is \nYerba Buena SX80: possible for some very limited questions. We don’t necessarily have the resources to to undertake that. So I think it’s gonna have to be that way if we if we do expand that. But I think that that \nYerba Buena SX80: you know that we have a lot of policy questions. That are part of our big plan that are really important. And you know\, that are newer\, and that might be an \nYerba Buena SX80: sort of shift in emphasis that that we need to make. Because those are. Those are certainly questions that come up later. And we know that a lot of the design decisions kind of get baked in this early stage. So I think that’s a so very insightful comment. \nYerba Buena SX80: yeah. \nYerba Buena SX80: okay\, Ashley. \nYerba Buena SX80: has this accomplished \nYerba Buena SX80: what you were looking for \nYerba Buena SX80: one of the customer today? \nYerba Buena SX80: I mean\, I I think so. It is a little bit of a question for you\, Ashley\, because I feel like you’re you’re kind of marshaling this conversation. But I think it gives us something to work with. I kind of for internal discussions\, I think\, for I mean for us. Obviously\, like you are our like primary audience for these staff reports. If they’re not serving a purpose for you. Then \nYerba Buena SX80: it\, you know\, we feel like we’re wasting our time like\, I think that’s the thing that we want to avoid right. So I think anything that requires time is fine. \nYerba Buena SX80: like we do want to like any. We in the end like we want our work to go towards something and accomplish like a goal. And so however much time it takes to do that\, I think\, is fair for us to spend. I do just like\, you know\, as somebody who \nYerba Buena SX80: who performs this work. You you do want to make sure that it is time well spent. That is like building on something that is like providing value for you know somebody else\, or and for the the process as a whole\, \nYerba Buena SX80: and just to kind of know. For me\, there’s always like this sort of series of like tensions and trade offs like when you’re writing a report like this like it does feel like very tempting to go with like kind of \nYerba Buena SX80: cookie cutter. Like presentation of information like you can. You can fly through that very quickly and move on to the next thing. But then also sometimes for me\, there’s like a sense that you’re losing\, like the ability to \nYerba Buena SX80: to highlight certain things\, or to take a more like bespoke approach to each project which has its own. \nYerba Buena SX80: you know\, like unique features. Like\, if you really like\, read down a lot of the projects that we bring\, like some of them\, are really \nYerba Buena SX80: like incomparable to like like one another. And so it it does feel like\, maybe sometimes like they require\, like a like fresh approach\, to like describe\, like what really is going on here and like that\, answering the question of like\, what is really happening like you \nYerba Buena SX80: kind of do have to like. \nYerba Buena SX80: sit down and and \nYerba Buena SX80: free yourself from like the outline. A little bit. \nYerba Buena SX80: But then. \nYerba Buena SX80: you know\, that does \nYerba Buena SX80: kind of like throw you off of the edge of a cliff a little bit like\, Okay\, where are we going with this? \nYerba Buena SX80: But yeah. So I think I I really appreciated hearing \nYerba Buena SX80: at \nYerba Buena SX80: that. This information is useful. And I think one of the things that we will be developing as we go\, especially like \nYerba Buena SX80: now that I’m thinking of our staff is coming\, and that’s like a whole new like source of like information and data coming in the future. \nYerba Buena SX80: like\, how do we \nYerba Buena SX80: take some of these sections which I think the ones that I struggle with the most are the ones that are like the most \nYerba Buena SX80: sort of like template oriented where we like aren’t doing a lot of like \nYerba Buena SX80: interpretation. Because we’re not maybe not as comfortable\, familiar with that information yet. \nYerba Buena SX80: And like developing like more of like \nYerba Buena SX80: a narrative at this point to me\, like the staff reports\, are all about presenting information so that other people can like take it \nYerba Buena SX80: to the the stage of interpretation. Because at this point it’s like\, early in the process\, we haven’t done all of the policy analysis that will ultimately do and so yeah\, \nYerba Buena SX80: like kind of \nYerba Buena SX80: thinking of like\, how do we present that information like kind of in the best\, like most objective but also \nYerba Buena SX80: useful way that you can actually build on \nYerba Buena SX80: like\, that’s 1 of the things I think that we’re gonna be talking about. \nYerba Buena SX80: Sorry. \nYerba Buena SX80: Can I actually say one more thing? Sorry. Just the comment of the the exhibits\, and how the you know good exhibits really make a big difference in the meeting. \nYerba Buena SX80: I I just want to sort of acknowledge Ashley and Yuri and and Andrea before them. Because I I feel like the the amount of time and effort that goes into kind of getting those exhibits just right where we can\, you know. Sometimes it’s you know you’re you’re pulling teeth. But where we can\, I think that that \nYerba Buena SX80: at least in my time at Bcdc. That that the sort of the the effort on that has has allowed us to get to the point. We’re having this conversation about\, how do we change our own reports? Because we’re not trying necessarily to fill in so many gaps? So I think we’ve gotten really good at working with applicants to get those to a much better place. So I just just wanted to kind of give you give you all a shout out\, because I I know that’s very behind the scenes. And and I think it’s gotten a lot more sophisticated. And I think it’s allowing \nYerba Buena SX80: to even have this discussion about what’s the world this text that accompanies them rather than having to worry so much about creating the perfect staff report\, and hopefully they’ll give us a few good exhibits to illustrate it. So I I think that’s a big shift. \nYerba Buena SX80: Very good. Look. I think that \nYerba Buena SX80: I think we’ve given you a lot of reaction comments. \nYerba Buena SX80: I mean just \nYerba Buena SX80: to say again what most of the Board has already said so. Well. I mean the work you were doing is excellent\, and you know we \nYerba Buena SX80: we rely on you all to which you’re doing\, you know to be absolutely on point for the technical side of the \nYerba Buena SX80: you know the the projects\, making sure that \nYerba Buena SX80: you know things are policy compliance\, you know. \nYerba Buena SX80: So all of that work is \nYerba Buena SX80: takes a lot of work. So thank you for the work that you all do on that making sure\, because our our job is is really to make sure that we’ve got sufficient information to be able to look at something with fresh eyes and provide some perspective to you all\, and you know that’s our job. So and I think the material I I don’t think wholesale. \nYerba Buena SX80: No one has said that there should be wholesale wholesale reconstruction of the reports. You know\, I think the the the the way they are currently structured is is clear and \nYerba Buena SX80: but anything you can do to make it more efficient for yourselves\, you know\, to we talked about\, you see\, a number of things that could maybe help it help us to\, you know. Be able to 0 in on the critical points. But you’re doing a great job so\, and and the reports are read. No one\, said they. Nobody \nYerba Buena SX80: said they didn’t read the reports. So \nYerba Buena SX80: so thank you very much. Last last question\, how are they expecting you to respond to them? The the Efficiency Committee. \nYerba Buena SX80: You all will be the guinea pigs when we come up with a new form. \nYerba Buena SX80: They’ll tell us if it’s working or not. \nYerba Buena SX80: They gotta tell you about. No\, you guys. Oh\, when we bring any changes to you\, I would hope that you can tell us if it’s effective way of communicating or no. You need to go back to the old way. Yeah. Oh\, we will\, we will. \nYerba Buena SX80: Okay\, well\, look\, thank you very much. I think that wraps the meeting\, thanks to everyone for getting online. And \nYerba Buena SX80: we have a meeting in October. So keep an eye out for that. So can someone move to close the meeting like to make a motion to adjourn? Thank you. Second\, thank you. Meeting adjourned. Have a good evening. Everyone. \nPatricia Fonseca Flores | CMG | she\, her: Thank you. Bye.

I see all 5 of our committee members are here. So consider that \noops. \nrwassum: Okay\, thank you\, Dan\, and thank you\, Ashley. We have a quorum present. So we duly constituted to conduct business. \nrwassum: I want to share some some instructions to begin with\, on how we can best participate in this meeting\, so that it runs as smoothly as possible \nrwassum: for everyone online and in the meeting room. Please make sure that you have your microphones or phones muted to avoid background noise for board members. If you have a webcam\, please make sure that it’s on so that everybody can see you\, and for members of the public. If you’d like to speak during a public con comment period. That is part of an agenda item\, you will need to do so in one of 3 ways. \nrwassum: First\, if you are here with us in person\, we will ask you to form a line near the podium. If you wish to make a public comment. speaker\, cards are available at the door\, and you will be asked to come up to the podium one at a time\, and to state your name and affiliation prior to providing your comments during the meeting. \nrwassum: After all individuals who are present make their comments\, we should call on those participants who are attending remotely to participate in the meeting. \nrwassum: The second way\, if you’re attending on the Zoom Platform\, please raise your virtual hand in zoom.

Please call or email our board secretary\, Ashley\, Tomaland. \nrwassum: and her contact. Information is on the screen in front of us\, and can also be found on the BC. DC’s website. And finally\, every now and get. And again you will hear me refer to the meeting host to his Yuri tonight. Our BC DC. Staff are acting here as hosts for the meeting behind the scenes to ensure that technology moves the meeting forward smoothly and consistently. Please be patient with us if it’s needed. \nrwassum: And now the Board Secretary will provide a stop update with Dan to use. Sorry today. Board members and or San Francisco or Front design advisory committee members. \nrwassum: First time on the agenda is a remembrance past waterfront design advisory committee. Member \nrwassum: Marshall was an incredible person and wonderful to have on the committee. \nrwassum: She held valuable insight into how architecture interacts with people in the public realm\, and she was a master communicator. When it was Marcia’s turn to speak. Here the room would go silent. \nrwassum: People waited and listened to her every word. She possessed extensive knowledge\, architecture\, historic rehabilitation\, and urban design. She could explain complex issues in a manner that everyone understood. \nrwassum: and she left\, all agreeing that with her guidance project \nrwassum: she was gracious to all. \nrwassum: never providing a reason to be criticized. \nrwassum: So much of what she did to humanize architecture and public space. In conversation you could tell. She appreciated first viewpoints\, which was evident in how she spoke and treated others. \nrwassum: Marsha\, I on the port. Thank you for making waterfront more attractive\, more efficient\, and overall better place\, and we shall miss you. \nrwassum: No letting Marsha’s husband is here. Just want to acknowledge him. Thank you for coming \nrwassum: for all he is done for. \nrwassum: Appreciate the week. control you for your lives. \nrwassum: This is a time. If other Border Committee members want to mention Marsha or saying thing. I welcome that \nrwassum: as well. Thank you. \nrwassum: And it’s I think others in the room appreciate Russia’s contribution throughout \nrwassum: of what she did\, and she served on the committee from 2\,005 till \nrwassum: 2\,022. Right? So very long\, product. \nrwassum: Thank you very much. \nrwassum: Your. Yes\, your staff report. \nrwassum: Okay. The first item we have is 4 min of the April tenth\, 2023. Our front side advisory committee and for which we distributed to the committee members. Are there any changes alteration suggested for those months? \nrwassum: If not\, they stand up as drafted \nrwassum: we also circulated operating procedures for the Waterfront Design Advisory Committee\, and we’re using a chair to do it this evening. Are there any? \nrwassum: Do any of the committee members have comments on the operating procedures for that committee. \nrwassum: Those are amendable at any time. So we’ll stand with those as drafted at this point in time. \nrwassum: Okay\, thank you\, Dad. \nrwassum: and on behalf of the BC. DC. Design Review Board. Bill\, I just want to add our condolences to. As Dan mentioned\, the longevity of marshes association with the waterfront has left a a visible legacy for everyone. So we’re very grateful to her work over many years. \nrwassum: Okay? So we’ll move to the approval of the draft summary for January eighth\, 2024. Meeting we were finished with those the draft summary that was the meeting that we reviewed to pay park\, and 1301 sure way\, sure way live development \nrwassum: any corrections or comments from anyone. \nrwassum: Yeah\, I have some corrections. And I’m going to send them by email because they’re a little long winded. But I’ll just go over very quickly. So everybody knows the basic content. So I’ll read the what was described to me\, and then what it should be corrected to. \nrwassum: It is refreshing to see a softening approach as opposed to developing undesirable areas. It would probably be clearer to say it is encouraging to see an example of managed retreat that creates newly accessible outdoor space as opposed to using engineering solutions to hold back the advance of the ocean. \nrwassum: Then\, next is\, there’s \nrwassum: there’s beauty to a landscape being legible\, non-digactic learning. At Marina Green you can see a lot of rubble\, and there’s not a need for overwhelming signage. It’s about self discovery. \nrwassum: Possibly better. There is value to learning through self discovery and minimizing use signage. For example\, if the Marina green at low tide\, one can notice on one’s own. The classical stone building parts were used for rip wrap at the water’s edge after the earthquake of 1906\, \nrwassum: and finally\, observe that allowing dogs does seem like a cross mission to the intention of the park \nrwassum: change. To allowing dogs seems contrary to the intention for the park\, which is to establish a natural ecology. Thank you. \nrwassum: Okay\, thank you. So we’ll take those on board when we \nrwassum: prove the the notes. I also have 2 minor ones. Page 8 \nrwassum: point 4 \nrwassum: in the top section. It was a comment I made third line down. Just change the word instill to create \nrwassum: create regulations\, to address potential conflict. And then the final sentence like that\, the design is assisting with the parts objectives. We could just strike that. I don’t think that’s necessary. \nOkay\, any other changes. \nrwassum: Okay? So \nrwassum: I think \nrwassum: 4 of us were at that meeting. Let me just double check. \nrwassum: You weren’t. No\, you weren’t so\, Gary. \nrwassum: It’s you and me. Would you like to \nrwassum: move to approve? I will make a motion to approve the minutes\, and I will second it. Yes\, all those in favor. \nrwassum: And look thank you to staff for preparing these\, and particularly for the pave part\, because that was a single review\, and it’s been passed off. And it’s very large project. So I’m grateful that you have recorded detailed notes of that \nto guide staff as the project moves forward. \nrwassum: Right\, we will move to \nthe next item on the agenda\, which is the staff Update Ashley. I’ll hand it back to you for that I’d like to acknowledge that Board Member Hall has arrived\, and she’s now in meeting \nrwassum: I mean. I tried to keep this brief tonight \nrwassum: form 700 tis the time of the year when I must remind the Board to complete their online form. 700 filing for a statement of economic interests. \nrwassum: You should have received an email with instructions on how to file electronically\, please your junk mail filter. If you have not seen the email. I can also forward you the email that violin is due. Tuesday\, April second. \nrwassum: We will not be having a Drb meeting in April. \nrwassum: And that concludes my staff update. Okay\, thank you. \nrwassum: I will move to the next item\, which is public comments for items which are not on tonight’s agenda. If there’s any anyone who wants to speak to \nrwassum: items like that. And we’ll start with those members of the public who are in our headquarters building here today. If anyone would like to speak to an item that’s not on the agenda. Form a line near the podium to make a public comment. \nrwassum: seeing none. We’ll move to online. Is there anyone online who would like to make a public comment for items that are not on tonight’s agenda. We have no one online. I will not read the detailed instruction. \nOkay. \nrwassum: thank you. So we’ll move to now to the second review of proposed alterations at the Ferry Building and Ferry Plaza in San Francisco. And this is item 6. It’s a second review. And I will just remind you everyone of the order for this. So we will start with BC. DC. Import staff introductions to the project. Then we will have the project proponent presentation \nrwassum: we’ll have board and committee clarifying questions. We’ll have public comment then\, followed by board and committee discussion and summary\, and then we’ll conclude with a project proponent response\, a brief response to what’s being heard in the discussion. Summary \nso with that I’ll hand to BC. DC. Permanent at permanent analyst. Catherine Pam\, who’s going to introduce project? \nrwassum: We have somebody raising our hand on online participant raising their hand. Are you speaking or public comment for an item that’s not on tonight’s agenda \nrwassum: left. Yeah. \nRobert Harrer: no\, this is for items. An answer. Project. \nrwassum: Okay\, there will be an opportunity to comment after the staff interest. \nrwassum: Okay\, okay\, thanks\, Catherine. \nAlright. It’s being recorded. \nThank you. Chair Mccann\, and good evening Board members and committee members. Katherine\, Pan\, BCDC. Shoreline development program manager. And I’ll be introducing tonight’s project in terms of our regulatory context before I do. I’d like to remind the project team and staff to please turn on your video when you’re speaking or answering questions. When you’re not actively engaged with the board. Please turn off your video and mute your microphones that we may minimize distractions on screen. \nAnd this is the second review of the Ferry Building and Ferry Plaza. Alterations project in the city and county of San Francisco. The previous review was April tenth\, 2023. \nrwassum: So the post project is located at the Ferry Building\, a landmark on the San Francisco waterfront\, where Market Street meets the embarcadero. Just south of Pier one. The ferry building is an active ferry terminal and provides ferry access to and from Angel Island and north and East Bay destinations. \nrwassum: This site is covered by Vcdc. San Francisco waterfront special area plan. \nand it’s part of the plant’s northeastern waterfront geographic area. \nrwassum: The ferry building located the edge of the city’s financial district and downtown area is home to a variety of commercial uses and office uses\, and is surrounded by many similar uses. \nis also part of the waterfront\, extensive public recreation and net access network. So here you can see the ferry building and plaza in relation to Peer one which is actually where we are meeting today\, and the Weeda Plaza in adjacent public access space. \nrwassum: The area round the ferry Building and Ferry Plaza is covered by a number of existing VCDC. Permits\, each with its own public access conditions resulting in a layering of different access requirements from different eras of the site’s development. \nrwassum: I’ll summarize these briefly to provide some context for some of the changes being proposed\, as well as for some of the surrounding access connections. Since our last presentation of this information last April’s review\, we’ve taken another close. Look at these permits and refined our understanding of these access requirements. \nrwassum: So as a reminder\, when we talk about the ferry plaza\, we’re referring to this open area on the bay side of the ferry building enclosed by the Golden Gate Ferry terminal. And this restaurant structure. \nrwassum: all of this is located. \nrwassum: Yeah\, is located on the ferry platform\, which is also known as the Bart platform\, which is all fill\, authorized by Permit 1967011. \nrwassum: The 1967 permit required public access on the perimeter of the platform not required for ferry operations. The area wasn’t specified in a permit exhibit\, but was described in the text of the permit special conditions as the perimeter of portions of the platforms that are not required for ferry port operating purposes\, and that do not interfere with birthing ceremonial ships\, that in no case shall be less than 35 feet in width from the edge of the platform. So this depiction is based on that description. \nrwassum: Permit 1973010 authorized both the restaurant and the Golden Gate Ferry terminal. The permit required the entire plaza east of the easterly wall of the ferry building\, as extended south across the but platform. Except for those areas occupied by the ferry terminal\, or required for access to the restaurant to be used exclusively for public access. \nrwassum: It also required the second floor public lookout at the ferry terminals\, public access. \nrwassum: the requirement for the ferry plaza was later transferred to the 2\,001 Ferry building. Rehabilitation. Permit? So you’ll see that cut out here. Is cheap. \nrwassum: So permit 1990 0 8 was for a number of roadway improvements along the embarcadero and for the Muni Metro. It required the dedication of public access area for the Ambcero promenade between Broadway and Harrison Street \nrwassum: Amendment 6 approved in 2\,007\, authorized the use of a portion of the dedicated public access area to be used for outdoor dining. These include the 30 foot wide areas shown on either side of the building’s entry portico\, which have come to be called the cafe market zones \nrwassum: permit 90\, 97\, 0 0 7 authorize additional fill for North and South Ferry portal. A publicly accessible sheet pile\, breakwater\, and the promenades around the ferry building\, as well as the demolition of Pier one half to the north. \nrwassum: The dedicated public access areas required by the permit include the new North\, east\, and South promenads \nand Pier 14\, which is the breakwater. \nrwassum: Note that the South promenade here was dedicated\, based on an older configuration of the ferry building in wharf that changed with the remodelling of the building and the construction of the new Weeda terminals and plaza. \nThe 1997 permit also required the reservation of the new concourse of the ferry building\, and a 12 to 15 foot wide corridor between the embarcadero and the South\, prominent for public access purposes. \nrwassum: These areas were not required to be dedicated at the time to allow for the flexibility to consider potential revisions to the public’s use of the area. If and when the building was renovated. \nrwassum: permit 2\,000 0 one authorize the Ferry building\, rehabilitation project and the use of the ferry plaza for the farmers market. As the rehabilitation expanded the second floor of the building over the existing east promenade\, the promenade was expanded 12 feet bayward to provide continued uncovered access. \nrwassum: The required dedicated public access includes the East promenade space to 10 foot wide\, pass throughs through the ferry building and cafe market zones to mean\, maintain free of obstructions and the ground floor public restrooms\, as well as the ferry plaza\, which was transferred from that 1973 permit \nrwassum: and permit 2016 0 0 one authorized new gates for the Wida San Francisco Bay Ferry\, south of the Ferry Plaza\, and included public access conditions for the Weeda plaza\, also called the Embarcadero Plaza\, and a bayside promenade connecting the new ferry gates. \nrwassum: These areas are outside of the scope of the current project. But we’re including this information\, so that you’re aware of these closely connected uses immediately adjoining the project site. \nrwassum: And then here are just some contextual photos to orient us and help you visualize the current conditions of the site. Here’s the North Cafe Zone in Arcade. Here\, you can see. Got outdoor seating area. The north North Pass through entrance and at the time they were in the process of setting up additional outdoor seating\, and these were taken last April. On a Monday morning the North Arcade here is also\, used by a variety of commercial kiosks. \nrwassum: Here’s also the North Arcade last April\, on a Saturday evening. \nrwassum: And then here’s the south Caffeine market zone with the outdoor dining area and South Pass through and the South arcade\, which is mainly for storage and farmers market operations\, and these were from last April. This one in the bottom left was from this past December. \nrwassum: And here’s some views of the ferry plaza. This one on the top right is a view from the Gandhi statue\, facing towards the south side of the building. And then\, just under that is a view of the space on the north side of the plaza next to the Golden Gate Ferry Terminal facing east toward the restaurant structure\, and all of these are taken on a Monday morning last April. \nrwassum: And then here just 2 quick views of a crowd arriving at the plaza from the Golden Gate Ferry. So these are pedestrians and cyclists\, all making their way to the south side of the building across the plaza. \nAlso 9 Am. Last April. \nrwassum: Here’s the area on the south side of the ferry building. We’ve been calling the South promenade. So this provides access for both pedestrians and vehicles to the ferry plaza. So here you can see the area that’s reserved for public access alongside the drive aisle that’s also used by delivering service vehicles these cones and barriers here used to control vehicle access and this is from a morning last April between ferry landing. So it’s pretty empty. \nAnd then here\, just a few views from when the space is a little bit busier. Wednesday afternoon last December\, a Thursday morning in January\, during a ferry disembarkation a Wednesday evening in February\, and then Saturday afternoon after market in February. \nrwassum: Little blurry I guess \nrwassum: so lastly\, here’s some photos of the Saturdays farmers market. So here’s the South. Prominent area again during the market last April. \nrwassum: And then here are just some comparisons of the space on a Monday morning versus the Saturday market. \nrwassum: So very\, very different conditions\, I would say\, between the 2 \nrwassum: and then here is what our community vulnerability mapping tool showed us about the area. So downtown. San Francisco is a densely populated diverse community\, and the degrees of social and contamination vulnerability indicated by the tool covers a broad range. \nrwassum: Generally speaking\, indicators associated with higher social vulnerability in the areas near the ferry building include renter\, occupancy\, no vehicle ownership as well\, some combination of limited English proficiency\, very low income\, no high school degree disability\, individuals over 65 living alone\, non us citizens and people of color. \nrwassum: And then regarding potential sea level rise\, using current site elevations. This map shows what 24 inches of sea level rise would look like if the site remained unchanged. \nrwassum: Using the Ocean Protection Council’s 2018 sea level rise guidance\, 24 inches of sea level rise is equivalent to the mean higher high water level under the medium to high risk aversion\, high emission scenario at mid century. So at this level\, there’s potential for flooding during a hundred year storm event. \nrwassum: And this shows what 66 inches of sea level rise would look like if the unchanged. This roughly corresponds to the mean higher high water level at 2090\, and the medium to high risk aversion\, high emission scenario\, as well as the 100 year storm condition in mid century. \nand in this scenario the project site and much of the waterfront would be inundated. \nrwassum: So just reminder. Following this agenda item\, the port will be providing a briefing on the San Francisco waterfront coastal flood study which should provide some more context on the ports area-wide adaptation efforts. \nrwassum: Alright. And then here’s just a quick refresher. On some of the major topics of discussion from the previous review on April tenth of last year. Note that the project description has changed since then. Most notably in the removal of the bayfront kitchens. Alteration to the east side of the building and the ferry plaza kiosk from the proposal \nrwassum: in their review the boards were concerned that public spaces and amenities would be removed\, but that the demand for them might not be accommodated in the new design. And we’re interested in seeing metrics for amenities such as seating in order to compare existing and proposed conditions. \nrwassum: It was noted that the ferry building and surrounded public access areas are an equalizing space for tourists and local residents alike\, and they were concerned that the public nature of the site would be reduced. \nrwassum: The boards discuss how the gravitas of civic architecture contributes to the public character with the building and plaza\, and how more substantial materials could ground the public areas of the site\, while more playful\, lighter materials could help define the private commercial areas. \nrwassum: The boards also discuss improving the continuity materials and design between the proposed project and neighboring civic sites\, such as the Weed Weeda Plaza \nrwassum: members noted the importance of the transportation program that the plaza supports and that the space plays a significant role in making connections to all modes of transit members express concerns that with the transition from public transportation hub to more private uses. They also suggested\, considering the pathways that draw people to the plaza and different destinations of the site\, and finding a balance in way\, finding between using the building as landmark using design elements of draws \nand appropriate signage. \nrwassum: Alright! And then\, before we pass this over to the port staff\, I’d like to quickly summarize the questions in the staff. Report that we’d like the Board to consider in your review. So first\, please consider how this project meets the public access objectives provided in Bcd’s public access design guidelines \nrwassum: and then Staff has also identified some specific questions. We’d like to ask the Board about the design at this stage these are one to the proposed alterations reflect the civic nature of the ferry building\, and potential demands for public uses of the site is this\, if nature of the building and surrounding public spaces supported by the materiality and design of the proposed project. \nrwassum: 2. Do the proposed alterations sufficient sufficiently maintain or enhance circulation and connectivity to and along the shoreline. 3. Do the proposed activation areas along the building frontages collectively and individually promote an inviting and usable public access environment at the ferry building and allow for adequate public circulation to site entrances and destinations. \nrwassum: or\, in particular\, with the proposal to place a cafe\, market zone and public seating area in the South Promenade\, activate and improve the quality of the bal public access experience in balance with addressing the public access and circulation needs of the project area and then 5 to the proposed elements. Support a cohesive\, legible and inviting public access program. \nSo first\, I want to check to see if the board has any clarifying questions for me on anything presented in this introduction? \nrwassum: Any questions from anyone. Those permits all stack on top of each other\, none of them undid anything. \nrwassum: Let’s see. \nrwassum: I think\, the one so some of them do \nrwassum: like they reference one another. But that 1973 and the 2\,000 permit or the one kind of that\, specifically transferring the responsibility for the ferry closet over to kind of a new permit. \nrwassum: But other than that. They kind of just all like\, lie on top of each other like that. Yeah. \nrwassum: okay\, I’ll just jump in here. I just want to acknowledge that. Stephan Pellegrini board member Pellegrini has joined the meeting\, so we have that on the record. Thank you. I don’t think there’s any other clarifying question. So we’ll move on. Thank you. Hey\, Catherine? \nrwassum: So then I’ll pass it over to Dan Hodap from the part of San Francisco to present the port staff report. Thank you\, Katherine and I wanna remind Gordon committee members that will do. Speak\, speak up loudly\, but we tend to pick up very well for those that are watching online. But we don’t pick up so well for those that are sitting right here. \nrwassum: So please remember that. Use your big voice. Okay\, I wanna summarize a few points about Hudson’s proposal. Hudson Pacific Park properties and proposal for the ferry Building area on their purpose of the Ferry building project has stated. Staff report is to improve the public access\, visitor\, experience. \nrwassum: clarify and enhance pedestrian circulation around the ferry building. \nrwassum: extend visitor hours to also make the building an evening destination\, you know\, 10 to 7\, \nrwassum: and accomplish these goals while minimizing changes to the buildings. Historic significance\, architecture. Excuse me \nrwassum: at this second review Hudson’s design team will focus on free areas enhancements to activate the embark at arrow frontage which include weather protection in the arcades and other entry areas on that west front of the building \nrwassum: and canopies to shelter outdoor dining in the 30 foot width area adjacent to the building. \nrwassum: She is a public access area described specifically as an outdoor dining market. So that’s first. The second is along the south end of the building. \nrwassum: They’re proposing furnishings\, lighting and identity features to activate this side of the building and the strength of the pedestrian character of the area. \nrwassum: This is an area there would be changes to the public access. Definition supplies. \nrwassum: The third is in the closet behind the Ferry Building Ferry Plaza. They’ll describe minor improvements to extend us into the evening\, and for special events \nrwassum: regarding that answers to some questions that came up with previous meeting. \nrwassum: Golden Gate Ferry does not have immediate plans to alter their facility other than to repair existing flows. They’ve mentioned longer term ideas unlikely be within the next 5 years. \nrwassum: The port second of the port’s working with a broker on Ferry Plaza East\, which is the restaurant at the far end of the Plaza. \nrwassum: There is a potential tenant\, for it’s early in the discussions and changes are not likely to occur for at least 2 years and we don’t and won’t anticipate that this would impact any of the proposals you see in front of you tonight \nrwassum: the waterfront resilience plan\, which would be the next item on the agenda\, describes ideas for how to protect the ferry building during rising sea levels. The team is working with army corp engineers on the flood study \nrwassum: implementation would not be for 5 or more years. And the last point is\, Hudson is aware of all of these items I just mentioned\, and is aware that some of their investments could be impacted by future projects. That’s part of the responsibility to take this. \nrwassum: So we also have questions for the committee different than or 3. What focus on here \none will. The enhancements along the market arrow side of the building activate this frontage \nrwassum: with inviting cafes and public spaces\, and we’ll continue to allow appropriate views in the building and start building. \nrwassum: Second along the south end of the building. Will the proposed cafe market zone\, a public seating area and driveway. \nrwassum: With the sign and signage features activate this area\, that collection of improvements are planning. and will it add clarity to the circulation out of the building and from the market arrow promenades and back. \nrwassum: and will improve its pedestrian character like you saw images of it in Katherine’s presentation a couple minutes ago. \nrwassum: and the third is to the proposed elements together\, support a cohesive civic design compatible with the historic district. \nrwassum: With that I’d like to introduce Chris Pearson from who’s going to introduce the design team. \nrwassum: you know. \nrwassum: Thank you. Guys\, thanks. Good evening. Sorry. \nrwassum: So do I need to pull that one \nrwassum: last \nrwassum: should pull it up. \nrwassum: Okay. \nrwassum: awesome. Good evening. My name is Chris Pearson\, Senior\, Vice President of Development\, planning for us in Pacific. I appreciate the opportunity I could talk about our announcement project and talk about our role as stewards from this building you. You will hear from our design team. You will hear from Jane who has led us in guide in the very building in the last 20 years. I did wanna provide some context before. We got through this project for us is so much about our stewardship \nrwassum: and so much about our partnership with our tenants. It’s really to continue to engage with this building and bring it to life. \nrwassum: At all times. Today the building is open from about 6 Am. To 10 pm. Every evening. We lose activity. At about 6 30 pm. As barrier riders go home for the evening. Kind of pre covid \nrwassum: our tenants. We’re experiencing kind of an uptick in sales \nrwassum: which has allowed us to really rejuvenate the very really marketplace by focusing on women and ipod businesses \nrwassum: post covid. What we’ve seen is a 20% decline in sales. \nrwassum: The sales are really attributed to work from home. We’ve seen our tourism levels back to Pre 19 levels. But our tenants are still recovering\, and they’re also dealing with an increase in food costs. Labor costs everything else is trying to balance that with operating into this historic building. \nrwassum: Our hope and our desire is to find ways to activate this building into the evening and to really attract individuals\, to let them know that they’re building is alive and well in the evening\, and really encourage our vendors to fail them. Past 6 pm. \nrwassum: How do we do that? \nrwassum: Well\, this year we’re focusing down\, lighting the building\, which is something you’ll see in the come in the coming months. Hopefully\, we’ll light up the exterior of the building to really announce to the city of San Francisco that the building is alive and well in the evenings to Jane and her team have focused on really trying to provide events for civic engagement. \nrwassum: Last year they hosted 55 events on site\, with the hope to increase that overtime really providing free opportunities to engage with the building and expose it to the broader city\, as everybody knows it is\, but really give our vendors opportunities to engage with the new customer base both in the daytime and throughout the evening on weekends. \nOver the last several months we’ve been really focused \nrwassum: on \nrwassum: coming down the brass tax of this project and working with our partners to come up with an opportunity that we thought supported some of our most important tenants like food wise but also gave us an opportunity to bring the project to life. And so what you’ll see which you’ll hear from Carl and team today is really how we really want to activate in Barcodero \nrwassum: how we wanna light up the very plaza in the evenings to really attract folks back there\, and how we wanna activate the sound of prominent to show people this building is a lived and experienced organism\, and not just the architectural generally come to love so much. \nrwassum: I think some of the questions that we had in our previous presentation was about public public access and public seating this project will allow us to create 56 more public seats \nrwassum: on the South problem\, and I will be able to dedicate additional 236 square feet public access. All things we feel like meet the overarching goals of both these groups today. \nrwassum: I’d now like to introduce them to skip for just a bit\, but I now like to introduce Jane Connors to give you some con context for our stewardship on the very building. \nThank you\, Chris. \nrwassum: Good evening. I’m Jane Connors. I’m the general manager of the ferry building\, and I’ve had the honor of running the ferry building for the last 20 years\, and being a part of this team\, it’s remarkable \nrwassum: opportunity. And when people ask me\, what is it like to run the ferry building\, I always remind them we’re not just property managers\, we truly are stewards. We are looking at ways to make the building better. We’re looking at ways to make the community engaged and better\, and make our events better. \nrwassum: And one of the things I’m really proud of in the last 4 years\, and I think Dan and Mark Pyaz would agree\, is we restored the building facade\, culminating with the restoration of the 245 foot clock tower. So we take historic preservation very seriously\, and we’re really proud of that accomplishment and bringing in local artisans to do this kind of detailed work on completing the project. \nrwassum: and one of the best parts of our job is handing keys to these merchants. So when we hand keys to like Senior Csig or over Thomas\, he just patties or brand crapery. It’s one of the best days ever these food artisans have been waiting to open at the very building. It’s a culmination of what they are working for. \nrwassum: And then the last year we brought more vendors in you know. Reams has opened in Arabic comfort food. shop. Right in the Central Pass through. We open fatted calf\, who started very positive farmers market over 20 years ago. A year ago they came back to the building and are really thrilled to be rooted in the community where they started \nrwassum: and we announced New Cammonnian restaurant at the south end of the very building 2 weeks ago. And again\, somebody who’s totally thrilled to be a part of the community of businesses at the very building. \nrwassum: and I wanted to highlight at the top left photo. So Kiva grew up in San Francisco. He spent his childhood on the waterfront fishing with his dad. Little matter of fact\, his mom is a long\, short person that worked on the San Francisco waterfront. \nrwassum: She celebrated her eightieth birthday yesterday at the Ferry building with a birthday party\, but when we went to him with the opportunity to work at the ferry building to open a shop. It was again the culmination of what he’s worked for in the last 10 years \nrwassum: to be able to hang his hat here and say\, This is where I am. After all this hard work\, it’s really remarkable. But the other thing about being a steward at the very building is also listening to tenants and about what they need to make their businesses succeed. And in the last 20 years we’ve expanded shops. We’ve made their shops better\, and in the last 4 years the great assessment of Covid \nrwassum: is listening to these tenants and what they need\, and it’s outdoor dining. It’s better lighted. It’s extending the experience beyond lunch and the the 3 days a week of the farmers market. \nrwassum: you know. And so I think what we’re proposing today are subtle\, subtle changes\, but great enhancements to prolong the experience of the. \nrwassum: And one of our most important partnerships is with food wise. That’s the nonprofit that operates the very positive farmers market. I’ve had the honor again of working with Lulu and Christina here tonight\, Andrea. Thanks for coming here. But we listen to them\, too\, and we’ve listened to them\, you know\, up in since last April\, and making changes to this presentation into the proposed enhancements. \nrwassum: But again. I’m really proud. In the last 4 years we never closed. One day during the pandemic they operated 3 days a week\, and provided nourishment and connection a very\, very important part of what we’ve got from the last few years. \nrwassum: and starting 4 years ago\, prior to the pandemic\, we were producing about 4 to 6 seasonal events a year. \nrwassum: and we started to realize\, let’s bring in in house marketing and events teams to really help cultivate the community connection with our partners in different community neighborhood groups. \nrwassum: And over the last Chris mentioned\, we’ve produced 55 events last year. We’re planning on 150 events\, and that includes cooking classes\, Yoga classes\, music\, etc. And these are recent activations with community groups from the Chinatown dance troupe and the lion dancers during lunar New Year \nrwassum: and then on the back plaza\, we’re doing activations like the outdoor Yoga class. The Nighttime Activation skate night. We have a monthly plant market on Sundays\, and of course our music during the Thursday and Friday lunches during the summer time. \nrwassum: But again it all goes down to ways to make the very building better. And what we’re proposing today are these enhancements that we will that will bring the building into the evening and other days of the week. \nrwassum: and I’m introduced. Carl Cain. \nrwassum: Thank you. Jane Carl Cade\, Vice President of Construction for how to pacific properties \nrwassum: coming to Hudson. A big part of the excitement was be able to work on this project with Jane and her team in order to make what is already great success \nrwassum: an even more special and active part of our city here in San Francisco. I and our design team\, led by a lot of coach Robsky\, from Paige and Turnbull and Sarah Keel from landscape architects are going to take you through. What we’re doing. I think what Jane really tells us about. That’s important is that the design is really driven by the people \nrwassum: that make the ferry building experience so much of the building\, it will and needs to stay the same by a virtue of its heritage status. But I think the people\, and how they need to be able to use the space is what is driven driving\, what you’re going to see today. \nrwassum: So since we were last here\, we’ve been working with a number of groups\, and we’ve made some modifications. Some of you were here with us last year\, and you’ll see that we’ve really paired back and focused on the most important areas to support our merchants and the other people that make the ferry building. \nrwassum: Specifically\, we’re gonna have 3 key areas across the front. \nrwassum: The North Arcade\, with the cafe zone in front of it\, the South Arcade\, with the cafe market zone in front of it\, the gateway area\, which is a huge opportunity that we sometimes call the wedge \nrwassum: for obvious reason. If you look at the plan here and then finally\, an actual reduced scope where we’re really just looking at lighting specifically on the that plaza that’s much needed to make that a space that can be well used into the evening \nrwassum: about what you’re not going to see or what we’ve removed. First\, we in working with food wise\, our farmers market partner. We decided to remove the kiosk from the back plaza and and go further\, and really limit any fixed obstructions on the back plaza that make it hard not only to operate the market\, but also to load in and load out of the market and food wise is here today. \nrwassum: Second\, we remove the bay front kitchen component from the center back of the building. It’s really just not core to what’s most important right now. And so we’re focusing in on what’s going to most drive the merchant needs. And the merchant merchant vitality. \nrwassum: Here you can see a quick preview of what we’re looking at in the front arcade. This is the North Arcade. \nrwassum: We’ve got merchants\, and to be clear. Many of our merchants are both restaurants and food purveyors for take away and prepared foods\, \nrwassum: occupying fully occupying \nthat was front arcades \nrwassum: and and spilling out open onto the cafe zoom. \nrwassum: It’s important to note here\, and if you can see it in the rendering in 2\,003\, roll down grill gates were put in as a part of that project. \nrwassum: So we went back to that same location and looked at the way in which those are installed behind and separate from the building arcade and are looking at how we can create a moveable glass panel system that will be open during the regular daytime\, when the building is is generally functioning well\, and have that open condition that we would like to have. \nrwassum: and then have them when it’s cold or windy and into the nighttime be able to have something that would be closed today. Those rolled down our case that you saw earlier. They still don’t do much about wind or temperature into the evening. So that’s one of the important things to notice here. \nrwassum: The cafe zone\, as you see\, is lively\, is projecting live onto the embargo frontage\, including dining zones\, seating and public\, seating along the front and actually over towards the sort the portico. There is also a public non dedicated seating added there\, in addition to the canopy. \nrwassum: we think the wedge and the\, as we call it\, around the office for the gateway\, as we’re starting to call it more publicly as a huge opportunity. \nrwassum: There we now have a great neighbor in the weed of Plaza. The building itself\, with the restoration complete is looking beautiful. But in between\, as you’re going to see\, there’s a real question of what to add \nrwassum: this will give us a chance to better frame the existing driveway\, and both with the cornerstone that mimics the weed of plaza\, and with the Marquis sign announcing both the ferry plaza\, and you can’t quite see in this. But individual gates \nrwassum: and directions for those gates down below. We think this can be a really special place. We also are\, gonna introduce a new cafe zoom towards the rear left portion of this and a new public seating area that will benefit from the warmth of this being the southern side of the building. \nrwassum: Finally\, and this is really quite simple. We really need great lighting out on the plaza. What you see\, here is the only change is having a series of lights that we’ll talk more about\, that. Make this a place that everyone would like to spend time well into the evening. \nrwassum: So with that\, I’d like to call up lot of Coach Rossi from Page Interpol. \nrwassum: Thank you very much\, Carl\, for great overview of the project. I’m a lot of control. Excuse me\, and principal with Page in Truman. \nrwassum: I was part of the design team preservation design team in 2\,003\, when the renovation of this building\, brilliant to become the the new destination in the city\, and I’m part of the same firm that wrote the design guidelines in 1978\, \nrwassum: that define the approach to rehabilitation and adaptive reuse of the very building. And I can assure you that in the proposed design. There’s nothing that we see that contradicts these design guidelines. \nrwassum: So as as architects our goal is to meet the clients needs\, and we’re faced with 1 million questions and 1 million problems as preservation architects was paramount to us is making sure that \nrwassum: for the magnitude of significance that this building is within the context of San Francisco and nationwide. We are bringing design interventions that are compatible and sympathetic to the fabric of the existing building. \nrwassum: So as Carl outline the the Arcade proposal and the cafe zone. Our focus is to bring warmth\, light\, and consistency of the design along the along the west side of the building by integrating new uses. The restaurant uses that will occupy the ark. \nrwassum: But the the character of the building is not changing at all. We are integrating new ways in system that will remain open the majority of the day. They will only be close at night. When restaurants are closed\, and when \nrwassum: on a few days we have weather that is not really comfortable for the visitors. So so that’s the purpose of this intervention and the outdoor area with the canopies. What they’re doing is they’re framing the space for outdoor seating while remaining completely flexible. \nrwassum: We have an exhibit here that actually helps you orient yourself a little bit. These images side by side\, tells you what the character is of the of the arcade\, and how it’s being used by visitors on the left and on the right\, how we envision will be used with variety of \nrwassum: visitors\, and and public uses. The benches and the seating along the edges of the canopies are open for public\, and will not prevent anyone to be using the the building just as people are engaging the traffic that that’s traffic that goes along the \nrwassum: right here\, we it. This may be a little bit faint\, but it gives you a sense. This is a plan that shows how the the seating is being planned within the canopies that restaurants will be using. But on the market day\, we envision it being \nrwassum: we pulled back because it’s it’s completely flexible. The barriers easily move to the back to allow the use of the of the of the area by the farmers market\, and these are the tents layout that we contemplated could easily go there. So so that is how we demonstrate flexibility that comes along with a proposed design. And speaking of design\, guidelines \nrwassum: the big\, the big focus of preservation design guidelines is flexibility and reversibility\, and what we’re proposing with the canopy structures is completely reversible. Their light\, their airy they they serve to organize the space for outdoor seating and engaging visitors \nhere. We’re looking at the view of the our key from the May\, and and it shows you that the focus of the design here is to maintain the the transparency of their key. There’s no\, there’s no barriers that we’re that we’re planning. So anybody who sees the arcade in the in the images that \nrwassum: that Chris shared before with the view of the of the length of their feed. This view will remain unobstructed with future interventions. This is how you this is a good example of how you read the keys now\, and this is how you continue to read them once the once the project takes place. \nrwassum: We wanted to show a different angle\, and there were questions about previously how the and where the new glazing systems will be installed. So the the role of dates that you see right now that we show you in previous slides. This is exactly the location where we’re gonna be installing on the the new blazing systems. So essentially the interventions that took place \nrwassum: in 2\,003 that they were meant to be irreversible are being replaced with a new system. But the system that allows \nrwassum: visitors to be comfortable inside the building\, and this is the view at night\, when on\, on those\, on those days when the weather is is not friendly. This is how we can see people and be enjoying being inside those spaces. But the the systems are transparent\, and they will look inviting and warm from the outside and the inside \nrwassum: side by side views on the left\, daytime on the on the right\, nighttime of the same of the same space\, and just to touch quickly on the materiality the civic nature of the building calls for the respect to the original materials. \nrwassum: What we’re introducing in terms of limited changes and very\, very limited interventions. The storefronts\, for example\, we’re using the the same color scheme and the same talent that exists on the building. Now\, the new canopy structures are gonna be again using the darker steel \nrwassum: still frame. The frames are gonna be painted and slightly colors that are complementary to the existing materials. And here in the next slide you can see how the calendar structures are providing this engagement of the traffic that exists today by inviting people in and activating this front of the building that right now is under utilized. So we’re very excited about that. \nBut then I would like to ask Sarah here to speak about the exterior closet. \nThanks so much. It’s great to be back and to show you all some response to your design feedback from last time \nrwassum: for the record. My name is Sarah Peel\, and I have a firm called Peel Landscape Architecture. \nrwassum: When we started working on this project one it’s obviously a place of a lot of seriousness. And we were trying to solve a problem of arrival and of knowing when you got here. But also when you got to the building\, but also when you got to the plaza\, and how you knew where to go\, and \nrwassum: over the history of the building. It’s changed. It used to be water where we\, the plaza\, is\, and it was more directive when it was water. \nrwassum: And so some of what we studied was how it changed as you moved through space. So it’s when you’re approaching the building\, you site on the tower. But as you get closer to it\, the tower actually disappears\, and kind of lose your bearings. And so we were looking at what would it take to feel like? You knew where you were going\, whichever direction you’re going\, and what would make it feel welcoming and public to be going here. \nrwassum: And we showed you this diagram. That has really been our North star for thinking about arriving at the building along this south edge. And so it’s a sort of secondary crossroads that works in relation to the crossroads inside of the building\, but completes a kind of circulation experience that allows you to move inside and outside the building \nrwassum: and activate all of the spaces around it\, and it works as one system rather than an interior experience and an exterior experience. \nrwassum: What we heard last time we were here were a number of things. But I’m gonna highlight a few. I think there was a concern about the materials. The amount of color. Was this really gonna work for food wise. And the farmers market? Did it really work for someone rushing to a very? \nrwassum: Did it feel truly public when you were here? And I think those were a lot of terrific comments. And we really continued that conversation over the last 6 months to a year \nrwassum: with people who use the space every day and have a lot more conversations which \nrwassum: got very much into specific things around operations. How does this place really work? There’s a built arc architecture. But there is also a sort of programming and operations side which we attended to in our thinking. \nrwassum: and when you arrive here today\, particularly at the south end of the building. It’s a bit indeterminate. It’s unclear exactly where you’re supposed to walk. It’s unclear exactly how to enter. It’s not totally clear when you get to different plaza\, and that those are some of the things we started to solve with our interventions. \nrwassum: So our interventions are quite a bit scaled back to the last time we were here. And we’re really building on what’s come before us much more directly. So\, for example\, we’ve added a cornerstone seating element \nrwassum: that is almost a piece of a glacier that cleaved off from the weed of Plaza. We’ve added the gateway sign and kept that to announce you entering Ferry Plaza\, and we have activation and spill out from the building on the eastern half. Of the wedge. And all of those things together begin to suggest. \nrwassum: This is really a pedestrian place\, and give you some cues for how to move about\, and we’ve enhanced that with some ground markings you the actual things that we’re using to do this. We really want to feel like they’re part of things that are already here\, so that we deposit. Granted the proportion of the seating. The way that we’re building that cornerstone is going to relate very directly to the materials that were used at. We deposit \nrwassum: the ferry plaza signage is taking a lot of queues from a traditional gate to a ferry\, but one that you’ll be able to see clearly from embargo. \nrwassum: And when you see those things laid out on the plan\, they’re working together with elements that are already here. You can see the seating that’s filling out. And this choose identity elements that we have. \nrwassum: You can also see a mosaic medallion and some ground markings that are further helping to define the space. But we’re being really careful. Not to add additional fixed elements that get in the way of things that food wise is doing out here and allow flexibility for setting up the farmers market. \nrwassum: The idea for the medallions came really from 2 things. One is there’s a tradition inside the ferry building of these mosaics that relate to the market hall. There’s also one on the mezzanine. There’s also a sort of way finding medallion at gate to a ferry\, and we wanted to use these medallions\, and each of the entrances to the ferry building to queue that this was a place of public entry. \nrwassum: So as you move between outdoor seating and other things\, this tells you you’re really supposed to enter here\, and it seems like an opportunity to tell a story about the waterfront\, either animals that are part of our waterfront\, or perhaps both\, and we would work with an artist on the final design \nrwassum: on the back side of this very plaza. I think you’ve heard everyone saying a lot of things are working here. And there’s a kind of you know\, civic ecology\, I would say that’s happening here because you have the farmers market. There’s also a really great lunchtime scene on a sunny day where people are using the tables and chairs that are being put up and down by Pacific. \nrwassum: The picture on the bottom right really shows the problem we’re trying to solve\, which is right now. You almost don’t perceive that there is this space back there at night\, because the lighting so falls away in that area. \nrwassum: Our design proposal is very small. We have a series of lights that march the edge kind of the way that lights can mark the edge of a roadway to sort of clarify circulation\, and we have additional seating that’s being added just to expand the use in that area. During lunchtime. \nrwassum: This is a view\, then\, of what that might look like at the sort of dusky commuter hours when someone’s moving to catch a ferry with some additional activation. Maybe someone would choose to linger. It’s those small decisions to do one more thing before you go home. That could really make a difference for a lot of the small proprietors here\, and we see just clarifying the circulation. \nrwassum: adding the lighting as being things that could really be game changers in this area. So I’m available to answer questions\, and with that I will hand it back to Carl. \nThank you so much\, Sarah. Thanks everyone on the team\, and thanks to the community\, for we look forward to your question. \nrwassum: Thank you. \nrwassum: Okay. So the next thing we’ll deal with is clarifying questions from the Pu from the proponent presentation. So I’ll just go down the row here. Any clarifying questions. \nrwassum: Go ahead\, Stefan. Any clarifying questions? I have one question. I think\, came up before right. It was the relationship between the relationship between the proposed lights here. Oh\, my goodness! \nrwassum: The relationship between the proposed lights and the pads of Gold Street lights that are actually located in just outfront. And I was curious about the hype relationship between \nrwassum: to to clarify Justin Herman\, or there’s so many positives around the site\, so directly in front of that very building. \nrwassum: the path of gold lights and their height there\, and the proposed lights that actually are carried around the sides of the building and introducing. \nYes\, we looked at extending those lights as an option\, and we ended up selecting something a little bit shorter and in part to keep with the proportion of the building. And when they hit the architecture. \nrwassum: okay. \nrwassum: I had a question about the \nrwassum: Does the cafe permit? Maybe this is for BCC. Actually\, staff. Does the cafe permit on the marketer side allow for permanent structures or just temporary structures. \nrwassum: It doesn’t it doesn’t mention structures. It’s just that it’s allow. \nrwassum: I mean\, it’s an allowable use to have outdoor dining and \nrwassum: the market space. That’s how it’s defined. Mentioned anything about any permanent instruction. Okay\, although it allows for like plan review of like the proposed use. And so \nrwassum: the dots in the kind of unused space on the other side the Southern Arcade or like the Southern \nrwassum: cafe zone both of those have\, like those permanent fixtures\, but like the rest of it\, doesn’t. \nrwassum: question. Well\, the seating on the way to be associated with any of the indoor uses\, or is that kind of general seating. It’s it’s both. The seating immediately in front of the entrance on the wedge is for public access\, so not associated with indoor use\, but anybody who \nbring out their goods and have a seat\, or just walk up and have a have lunch \nrwassum: the eastern portion of the wedge. The whole is to actually activate that the cities flee space right now potentially in the future as a potential cap they use will bring people back and show the activation kind of life that we’re trying to achieve. \nrwassum: And then\, just because I’m curious\, is there a reason why you’re not including the South arcade and that cafe space in the project right now. Yeah\, so currently that spaces least of food wise are are open. Our goal is to continue to work with them to activate that space as we work with them on the business bench in the future. What that space could be. That’s when that Arcade would really be considered for improvement. But it’s just \nrwassum: right now that would be approved \nrwassum: in the South. I would say. Consider it right now\, because it’s being proposed as like kind of a bigger picture. Later date \nrwassum: thing. I think because the details are most flushed out in the northern area like you can kind of focus your comments on that. But I think if it all kind of can move forward together\, it likely won’t come back here. And they get around to it. \nrwassum: and we acknowledge there’s a responsibility of symmetry in terms of the exterior. It’s just important that food wise is food wise\, and it’s not a restaurant\, right? So \nrwassum: physically from the exterior there will be symmetry. \nrwassum: Yes. Thank you for the presentation. I had a question regarding the wedge area and the painting that is meant to kind of guide \nrwassum: people further towards the the paws in the back. \nrwassum: Can you explain? Kind of reasons of where that \nrwassum: that meeting starts\, and I noticed it doesn’t extend to the curve line. Is there a particular one for that? \nrwassum: So the new paving is really just a graphic that’s in the driveway\, and it stops at the light ribbon partly out of deference to the light ribbon\, but also just as clarity for other paper things are happening \nwhile you’re there. The sign that says Ferry Plaza\, who is that intended to inform \nrwassum: that is intended to inform people arriving primarily from the embargo and looking for the ferry plaza or looking for ferries. And it’s something that \nrwassum: actually we’ve battered around quite a bit\, and it was something that was designed by many people. So it was an element that I’ll be honest. I was at first about\, but it was something that was seen as operation really \nrwassum: about mental geography. But many people are not aware that the plaza that they visit on Saturday is also their 6 other days of the week. And so I think there’s an important role of pulling people. \nrwassum: even semi regular visitors back to that public location \nrwassum: and and announcing that that is there as a public cloud. Okay\, interesting. Thanks. One other question. Can you point out what is different in the North Arcade \nrwassum: from what you presented last time\, or is it primarily operational? \nrwassum: I do the flexibility\, but I mean the design is substantially the same. I think maybe it’s more clearly on the operation side of it. I think there’s been questions on\, is it? Gonna close the space I roll that space open and enjoyable. We think even it’s use as a central cafe does provide for that activation. I mean\, today\, we have kiosk there. We have about a 9 foot walkway that really just serves as access to those kiosks. \nrwassum: We think by being able to close it in the evenings that will make it more attractive to potential users\, both \nrwassum: customers and potential restaurant users. But in the end it’s the design is exactly the same. But it’s it’s operation be more clear on how we plan on utilizing great? So my my question is\, when you move the railings to make room for the tents \nrwassum: in the in the render. They kind of look like they’re part of the architecture\, which is good. But at the same time you need something flexible. What is that really gonna be? And in terms of serving alcohol does that \nrwassum: height of barrier work\, or might something taller up here? So I think this is actually where there was a refinement\, because we had\, we got clarity that that needed to be removable\, or it’s on piece. \nrwassum: And so \nrwassum: there we go. So here in that kind of middle of top\, you can see the spec of what we’re looking at. So I think it needs to be formidable enough that it that it does its job\, but moveable as well. And I think that’s what we’re proposing from that alcohol licensing standpoint about defining space. I mean we could define it a number of ways. So this is just the design\, it solution. Thank you. \nrwassum: Just a clarification on the city. \nrwassum: so the the the area is open from 6 Am. To 10 pm\, okay? And so the moveable exterior\, CD\, does that get packed up every night? Or\, yeah\, we have porters who essentially move that seating in and out \nrwassum: right? And so the new additional exterior seating that’s moveable would be\, ha! I would have that same. Okay\, thank you. \nThank you. So \nrwassum: could someone explain how the arcades were used in the original \nrwassum: prairie building design? How people use them? And \nrwassum: it seems like that’s not necessarily what they’re being used for. Now\, I’m not sure. And can you also explain how the \nrwassum: proposed uses is the same as it is now\, or the way it was before. \nrwassum: Absolutely so the building has evolved. And it’s in its history. Obviously so\, they are case initially or partially use the storage space. We’re limited circulation of the circulation there. As as with the latest renovation\, our aids have been maintained as a as a circulation space. They have not been used \nrwassum: programmatically for anything other than circulation. So I think if you look at the life of the very building. So in the original conception\, there were times where these were\, there were in some of the caves. \nrwassum: There were actually ticket booths. At other times it was actually where you loaded and unloaded \nrwassum: free that had come over from the mainland. \nrwassum: I think\, as a part of the 2\,003 \nrwassum: version we didn’t. They? They did were not used as ticket\, boost and freight\, and I don’t know the exact date when they were last for\, but because the low\, the first floor was all freight. Freight processing\, much like an airport would be today. \nrwassum: We have had rep. But food wise importantly in the South Arcade\, with their storage and their kitchen\, that they open up and actually do different \nrwassum: programming in the South Arcade. And then in the North Arcade. You have had. This. These kiosks. \nrwassum: The problem is\, the kiosk have have been had a limited kitchen capacity. \nrwassum: Do their construction. Inform but this actually is attempting to have better functionality. But with similar qualities of the space \nrwassum: been there since 2\,015. That’s correct. So they’ve been activating as sort of publicly accessible customer base for since. \nrwassum: Yeah\, thank you for that. II always thought they were a place you could run if it was right. But I think I have one more question So when ferry passengers are queuing up or staging to go into one of them \nrwassum: games? \nrwassum: Do they use the free billing at all\, or like especially an increment\, whether that fit into your plan or that change\, you know. Well\, it really isn’t changing with with this. \nrwassum: What people have typically done is many fair customers we find well\, on rainy days\, basically time their trip very precisely from their office\, and are coming through the building rather quickly\, making it more important that we have this wide open lateral passageways through the building. But some people will come and be inside\, and and so it’s when it’s raining. \nrwassum: But I would\, I would say overall\, we’re not impeding on any business that’s called out for very passenger. \nrwassum: Okay\, thank you. Let’s go to the Wwdac for clarifying questions. Maybe just \nrwassum: go down the road. Yeah. \nrwassum: Do you ask any? Yes\, go ahead. Do I need to turn any? \nrwassum: Do you have a mic? I think you have a handheld mic right there. \nI \nrwassum: thank you for all \nrwassum: we’re continuing. \nrwassum: Okay. \nrwassum: is this better? \nrwassum: Thanks\, everybody\, for great reporting and sharing your meeting minutes and your staff report was with us. \nrwassum: It was very informative\, after more\, almost a year\, to really get into the deeper questions that you are all touching on in in your reporting. \nrwassum: There was one particular aspect that struck me\, and I’m not asking my questions necessarily in the Board of Importance. \nrwassum: I see a comment in the staff report that the information about signage for future restaurants was not discussed \nrwassum: and given that the new restaurants with the Arcade now being occupied by them are a very important part of the public image of the building. I am wondering. \nrwassum: why you decided to keep information about the signage out of this discussion. I believe personally\, it will have a great impact on how we perceive the building as in it’s public nature. \nrwassum: private signage on restaurants over retail is always something that is informative\, but does not necessarily contribute to the public nature the expression of the public nature of the building. \nrwassum: Maybe we should just go take that maybe I could ask some proponents to talk about the the how the process of signage works. And yeah\, II think on that a and it was\, and staff can also answer. I think at this point we did not have a specific proposal in mind\, not having \nrwassum: merchants in hand. Precisely so. We were figuring that there would be scrutiny\, and whether there are principles set forth by this group\, or whether that staff implements or another process. We’re open to that. But I would also just highlight. I mean\, in in our opinion\, \nrwassum: signage is important. A lot of a lot of times for restaurants. But in the re\, the reality of business activation that we’re we’re aiming for on the market there. Hope does allow for people to know that there’s something there to experience. So we do think just having that activation can diminish the need for \nrwassum: audition. Yes\, shortly after the ferry building was renovated in 2\,001\, I think. Open a little bit. After that we had the ferry building team develop \nrwassum: sign guidelines for the building that address the many tenants that are on the inside. And we’ve administered that throughout this 20 year period. And it’s been very successful in doing an appropriate level of signage. It did not reach to these outside arcade areas that was not anticipated at the time. I believe what would happen is \nrwassum: should this proposal move forward and restaurants go in there. We’d ask the ferry building team to bring on a historic architect again. And further\, these sign guidelines and document that so that when tenants come\, tenants go so that each one just has to fit into that box of how the sign guidelines address. So it would be a consistent quality\, and those don’t exist at this review yet. \nrwassum: Thank you\, Dan. Okay\, go ahead. Next question. My second question would perhaps be directed toward Miss Connor\, I think\, after 20 years of management\, she gave a great description about the needs of tents\, the very kind of emphasis on home clone small businesses expressing the local character. My question to the Hudson team would be\, what possible tenants are you envisioning for your restaurants? \nrwassum: The least steps of the restaurants is actually directed more towards small restaurants. \nrwassum: Perhaps was looking at the God’s as an example which is more a not fast food. There will be a very unfair description\, but quicker food type of restaurant. What are you envisioning to complement what this con has been working on for so many years. \nrwassum: I think you know\, you know\, we\, as I said\, speaking about the stewardship\, we’re always thinking about what’s additive to the building\, and II would say we need a butcher\, baker\, candlestick maker at the very building\, and we have that. But we also are looking at what’s you know what’s additive to the building\, you know\, as we need consistently each week\, and are adding\, you know\, names to the list of people we wanted the building. And we’re always speaking with people \nrwassum: blue. All it took 4 years of discussions with them to bring James into the building from starting at\, you know\, have been denally to the\, to the very Plaza farmers market. So again\, you know here\, what we’ve done in the last 4 years is\, I think\, a great indicator of the calendar of people we’re looking for has always doubles into details\, because\, I believe\, the changes of the glass line\, including private entrances into these restaurants \nrwassum: from the entrance of moving slightly further towards the facade building will make a difference\, will make a big difference in how we perceive \nrwassum: he’s not being privatizing to building. I think that is one of the biggest questions that is being asked by the public and by myself. How can we avoid that? Closing the arcade is not being perceived as privatizing the building. In in other cities\, where we have arcades\, there is a most connective element of a city looking at Bologna\, for example\, to other cities \nrwassum: of how to stitch the city together. In this particular case the arcades\, even if they’re only used in particular instances are an element of stitching the waterfront together when it rains\, when it’s foggy. That is where you meet your friends. \nrwassum: You’re not standing in the plaza\, or in front of the building\, or in the back of the building\, just standing under the arcade. \nrwassum: That’s that. II like to let that sit in the room. Perhaps people reflect on that as well. I have another quick. Can I just jump in there? I just wanna ask the proponent to make a comment if you would like\, just in relation to that. So 2 things. First\, II wanna be clear that we showcase our ones that \nrwassum: came into the building since Hudson’s ownership in 20. So we only ask you to judge us by our record\, and that we are have been working closely with merchants\, typically people who have come up out of farm out of farmers\, markets like like food wise and have over time been ready to take on the commitment of a brick and mortar space. So that is our intent. And if you look at each one of them\, I think \nI think it’s a great trajectory of what we plan in the future. \nrwassum: I think the next piece of what we find\, and my office is 2 blocks away. So I come here often in all weather. And I live here in the city\, we find is on rainy days. People want to be in the name \nrwassum: that we actually don’t get many people. If they’re coming as far as the face of the building. They want to come in and experience the life \nrwassum: and the warmth of the knave shops. We are not getting a lot of people traveling laterally\, even on rainy days. On warm days people want to be in front\, and it’s looking at the building. \nrwassum: And so they’re not as much in the in the arcade\, and if they were\, we would have more vitality in the kiosk that are located there than we have had for the last since 2\,015. \nrwassum: I mean\, I think\, like\, let’s be clear. Our overarching goal is to try to bring people inside. We want them to experience the inside of the building our tenants to benefit. \nrwassum: Please go ahead. I don’t wanna hog. The the question period here is\, do you consider the increased demand for delivery and proposed additional restaurants on the front of the building \nrwassum: to further put stress on the South. And we’re your primary access for delivering pickup is \nrwassum: yeah\, no\, we have a very intricate delivery scenario and guidelines in our leases and our rules and Regs. And we work closely with all the tenants we actually work with the Vcdc. To prolong the delivery needs\, because Hug Island is bringing us oysters at certain tides and Calgary. Murray was bringing us cheese during certain times of the day. It couldn’t just be regulated to a certain window. \nrwassum: So in 2013 we worked very closely with the port in BC. DC. To tell the story of what our delivery needs are\, and so we will continue to work closely with all of our vendors on the days of the times and the days they can can make deliveries. \nrwassum: My. My last question that probably causes\, as I continue listening to other people\, is. I do not see any back of the house \nrwassum: space indicated in your plans. You’re speaking about transparency and lightness and light touch\, etcetera\, when it comes to \nrwassum: food storage \nrwassum: back of the house activities that has to occur somewhere. Would you be needing? Take space from \nbuilding inside\, facing stores in order to accommodate that. \nrwassum: So so what you can see on the screen\, which is really hard to read. Unfortunately\, but hopefully\, you can see that your package is a a potential layout of restaurant space which shows you their activate\, their activate kitchen and everything else. So that that is similar to how dots operates they have. \nrwassum: That’s the great example. If you guys get an opportunity to go over there. You walk in\, you see \nrwassum: an open concept kitchen where they do have all of their storage and their cooking\, and we think the the space configuration is quite similar in just our Cape space as it is for us. So those kitchens would line up very similarly\, as as you see today\, and and I anticipate it. We’ve we’ve gotten this question before to be clear\, I think any \nrwassum: chef would love much\, much more space and much more back of house and and space in the very building is tier. And so part of what it is is working with a restaurant tour who can fit in these concepts that were designed by studio Kda. And sometimes that means they have a more limited menu. So it’s really somebody who’s very specific. That said it also means you’re probably this is gonna work. Better for a newer entrepreneurial \nrwassum: tenant to have that opportunity where they’re focused on their 4 great things\, and not as much on a long menu. \nrwassum: it. It partially answers my question\, and not fully. But one last question\, if if there’s for the architect could you perhaps show a drawing which in in large form shows the operation of the glass line pushing into the facade in into the arcade. \nrwassum: and how the canopy interacts. You’re providing a 6 foot walkway between the glass line and the canopy\, and then you have out out front of the canopy benches with which edge the public wide way. Would you describe that? To everybody in larger scale? It’s very difficult to read in your drawings. Ii would like to get some questions answered about \nthe possible usefulness of this inbound 6 foot 6 6 foot space \nrwassum: right? And I it may be easier to look at the exhibit. But right here\, \nrwassum: so it’s it’s a little easier to see that in the print form. Apologize for the lightness of the line work there. But you can see that the the kitchen\, the back of house and kitchen spaces\, of course\, against the back wall. And that’s where operational kitchen happens. The the circulation inside happens along the outer edge behind\, right behind the glass. So there’s there’s \nrwassum: there’s a path of circulation going along the lines. Have the cursor to show it\, but it’s it happens happens in this zone right here and and it tracks along the entire length of the arcade. \nrwassum: And furniture is Google obviously inside. So but there’s there’s enough space 6 feet or so. \nrwassum: Allow for circulation behind the the last line and between the table line and the camera line. So that’s that’s the design intent here. Obviously it’s conceptual and will be fine. \nrwassum: And then there is on the outside. There is a 6 6 foot pathway between the the canopy itself and the the face of them. It’s easier to see this in this image right here. Find that but this this image here \nrwassum: shows the amount of space that is. plan for for circulation between their structures. The \nrwassum: so for this group\, our responsibilities for this group\, our responsibilities. Talk about the quality of this particular space being public enough to be a full replacement of how we currently perceive the public realm in front of. \nrwassum: And I question that this hidden space\, particularly when it is on the front of the cannot be counted by the barriers. That that is enough to be perceived as part. \nrwassum: Thank you\, Catherine. Let’s keep moving. Alma\, go ahead. \nSo\, being brand new to this committee\, and having had the benefit of seeing it in the previous presentation. I just have to say that I can appreciate all the details that went into the collaboration between all the designers and the manager of the space\, etcetera. To make this happen\, I \nrwassum: think all the intentions to highlight the the life of the building in the afternoon are actually pretty valid. I had similar questions only on this front portion. I think all the ideas that are for the web and everything\, and bring in light into their \nrwassum: work. But this 6 feet seem a little bit of\, you know. \nrwassum: tight for that. And\, more importantly\, if we can pair that or it was more of a question \nrwassum: is it possible to maintain\, and the 6 foot clear on the inside at the same time? So then\, you have the sense of coming in and out\, and that was just the question when the when the glass is open\, so you always feel like there’s some circulation\, both inside the ark\, like similar to the way it is right now. \nrwassum: But also on the outside. And then just out of curiosity. And the second diagram of page 24\, \nrwassum: when the market is happening. \nrwassum: Then the the sort of the barrier pushes out and that will space was shown in the background empty. So that means that those at the moment of the market that space remains not usable for the rest of that’s correct. So on Saturday markets that all pushes those tables are stored and push back\, and and the market\, as you guys have experience. \nrwassum: And my only question was\, is it necessary\, then\, to keep the seating going in that understanding is that some of those stands work both sides\, so that configuration suggests that they can only function from their marketers. So it was more curiosity. If that’s the intent\, or there’s a reason for them maintaining that space not necessarily connected to the so the layout of of society market has been coordinated with food wise. There are some occasions where you can have double depth \nrwassum: for your for your 10 spaces. So those those vendors that need a little bit more space to operate will be able to have that space. But the first thing we did when we kinda \nrwassum: last left you was was sit with the food wise team to come up with something that worked just for everybody else’s identification. We’ve looked at a variety of ways to try to provide heat and light to this space. Most of those ways. We’re more impactful to food wise. And what we’re presenting today\, as it relates to the to the glass line and circulation. \nrwassum: You know\, the way this is designed conceptually is to have those\, those\, those glass walls sort of fold behind the column so that they’re not perceived from the public. So you do get that that areainess. And I think we all want to protect and see. So that is the hope. And the intent of the design is this concept to evolve. But it’s\, you know\, gonna be a a rail at the top that allows it sort of accordion behind that column line. \nrwassum: It won’t sit proud of that pole at all. It’ll be inset into the arcade\, so it does provide that opportunity for light\, airiness\, and some look at circulation. To be honest with you\, based on your question\, is it really some of that circulation area in inside the space \nrwassum: to give that appearance. \nrwassum: A lot of the table layout will happen as we identify tenant\, and how many seats they want\, how it’s sort of gonna work for them. What we’re showing you today is a is a sample layout. I would imagine that just from a service standpoint\, they’re gonna want a little bit more space to operate between those 2 points. So I do think you’re gonna get a lot of a bit of walkway on the interior space. You’re not proceeding today\, and it’ll be subject to prior code \nrwassum: as well. So I think\, you know\, we’re committing very clearly to the opening in between the 2 spaces that you can see right here. \nrwassum: and so that will line up to exiting and all sorts of \nrwassum: thank you. \nrwassum: looking at the best way. \nrwassum: And I think we wanna make sure. And we need. And so that’s \nrwassum: but it’s a shade. It’s a shade. There always will be transparency. Okay\, thank you. I was just curious about that. \nrwassum: Laura. Cool. \nrwassum: you know. \nrwassum: Okay\, I’ll try and keep this quick \nrwassum: the cafe zone does go to the parameter. So it includes that this may be actually question\, for \nrwassum: so is \nrwassum: wha is that 6 feet required? \nrwassum: Or is it a kind of illustration of something that might happen since it’s inside the cafe zone\, Asron. \nrwassum: Oh. \nrwassum: Dan Dan Hodap with the port! The way that per permit shows it is not a required circulation. There’s this 30 foot depth that can be used for cafe purposes. \nrwassum: and in this case it includes that 6 feet. It includes the area of the canopy structure\, and it also includes where the benches are. Outside of that\, too. \nrwassum: the only the only real sort of like restriction on the cafe zone\, like kind of physically it\, apart from like the 30 30 foot depth is in the 2\,000 permit they’re required to have like a sick 10 foot clearance like coming out from the pass through so like there\, that cannot be obstructed right? But within the zone itself it just says\, after dining. \nrwassum: okay\, and maybe that ties to the places where we’re seeing seating added. same question is that illustrative? Is there \nrwassum: because it doesn’t necessarily fall in any \nrwassum: embarcadero sidewalk \nrwassum: is all required public access. \nrwassum: There’s an overlay of a cafe zone on top of it that is allowed to occupy that space. \nrwassum: but it is still required public\, and the additional seating. So there’s voluntarily provided seating on the south as well as in front of the in front of the canopy. That is\, the public benefit to the enclosure of the outdoor dining\, so it would be required \nrwassum: that would be discussed and submitting. \nPass on. \nrwassum: Thank you. A few quick ones with the restaurant spaces in the arcades be heated and cooled. \nrwassum: Jane. Our current or you may want to speak to kind of \nrwassum: we are planning for \nrwassum: some conditioning\, but it’s not much of the building is not formally that way today. So \nrwassum: yeah\, with the open atrium. Now\, I mean almost all of our name shops\, and\, you know\, like the the Red Bay coffee\, the Delica\, they are not conditioned. It was\, it was really designed to use the \nrwassum: cool Mediterranean climate here but the enclosed spaces\, like\, you know\, at the corner stones \nrwassum: can elect to Bill\, you know. Bring in some Hpc. But I think in these spaces they have to have the title 24. So when they were open they could not. Yeah. And it would be something that would be triggered by that when they’re at\, but working as an open \nrwassum: market during the day\, they’re gonna be open\, and they’re not gonna \nrwassum: sorry. Catherine is my colleague. Catherine says the devils and the details and inter conditioning that that was a pretty large burden on your glass system. And and also there is a diagram somewhere that shows a reflective ceiling with a lot of ducks simply for exhaust and \nrwassum: make up error. And if you’re heating\, cooling space conditioning that lovely rendering of the open gate is gonna be different. \nrwassum: if this\, if this \nrwassum: comes to pass and the North Arcade is done\, and eventually the South Arkansas\, we’re with all of the food\, wise mission\, critical functions that exist there\, that that’s part of our conversation. So our goal is\, we work to send them\, like the long term tenants that are building for my foreseeable future for my kids to enjoy. We would figure out the appropriate space\, use that space that could include \nrwassum: keeping the stores there in some capacity. It it’s all to be worked with. But the general answer is\, that sounds okay. Doesn’t move forward without working with food\, wise and great concert\, to make sure that something that benefits both us and them. And it works for everybody. I mean\, that’s that’s our commitment. I realize we’re talking about the North. Okay. But because somebody said that there’s likely a precedent being said\, if that moves forward there may not be sufficient review on the south side. \nrwassum: It’s worth asking how that gets account. Accommodated \nrwassum: 2 more quick ones when and this is for staff. When were the restaurant spaces of the North South corners\, in close one\, where those are capable of part of the 2\,000 and \nrwassum: correct. Those were close part of that 2\,003\, 2\,001\, 2\,003 renovation. \nrwassum: They were part of the Tax Credit project. \nrwassum: Yes\, so they passed that. \nrwassum: That’s correct. Last question. if this does move forward\, it does reach our pools and the 6. These canopies turn out to be successful\, as you hope. Would there be potential plans to extend them to service. The existing outdoor dining that exists at the North and south end. \nrwassum: That’s not currently in our plans. I think what you see\, today is where our plans are which we think we need to be successful. We think\, obviously a great job operating as is\, we have renewed interest in our market bar space that is there without necessarily the canopy space. We do see these 2 locations because they’re gonna play with the arcade space. Because how we wanna utilize them at night. It is something that’s grateful. \nrwassum: you know. \nOkay. \nrwassum: thank you very much. I think that includes that concludes the clarifying questions. Part of the agenda we’ll move now to public comment. \nrwassum: And we’ll open the meeting to public comment. \nrwassum: Any member of the public attending the meeting in person. Please notify the Board secretary. If you would like to make a comment. \nrwassum: I’m gonna this is actually from BCC. We did receive a number of public comment letters regarding the variable building item. So I’ll summarize those. \nrwassum: We received these letters prior to 10 Am. This morning that they have been bored with sign review board. Okay\, from the very building tenants\, such as they wrote letters and support with group wise\, stating that they are able to adjust their layouts to the changed configurations project. \nrwassum: The Barbary Coast Association express support for the project and appreciation for the modifications to the project. Since the last review\, the project will allow the variability to compete with other host. Nearby projects along the shoreline on port properties. \nrwassum: The gateway Tenants Association express support for the project stating the neighborhood will benefit from the greater activity of market. \nrwassum: The San Francisco Building and Construction Trades Council express support for the project\, stating that they’re grateful to Hudson pacific support of the merchant community and the work for local workers and contractors. \nrwassum: and the Telegraph Hill dwellers expressed concern over the Pros project. Let her summarize the Restoration design guidelines and identify the impairments of \nrwassum: the impairments of thousands of square feet of public access through privatization material impacts to the historic architecture and consistency with public access policies and the transformation of the very building from public marketplace into a restaurant entertainment destination as their price. \nrwassum: Okay\, so \nrwassum: will now move to the public comment. And can people come up? Or will they be called second call? Yes\, thank you. \nrwassum: Okay. We have a few people here in the room. I’m gonna start with Joe Sanders. If you come up to Mike for public comment and following that. \nrwassum: so have 3 min. \nrwassum: It’s not smooth. \nrwassum: Good evening\, members of the Design Review Board. My name is Joe Sanders\, and I represent Union Drywall Finishers\, Painters\, and the high road contractors of San Francisco. \nrwassum: I’m a painter by trade\, a graduate of District Council\, 16 registered apprenticeship program. \nyou know. and a resident of the city. \nrwassum: We take pride in restoring historical buildings\, such as the very building \nrwassum: I’m excited to be working with skilled trades workers to deliver this project with care and precision. \nrwassum: I respectfully request your \nrwassum: support on on this item and look forward to putting local tradespeople to work soon. Appreciate your time. Thank you. \nrwassum: Okay. Next we have Rudy Gonzales\, and then after that will be Christine \nrwassum: Rudy\, and for the row ahead of me in the exit row there. I’m sorry. That’s Isaac sitting behind me making little noises on my phone. I represent that 27 construction unions in San Francisco\, and skill treats people and apprentices at build our skyline. It’s \nrwassum: probably more rare than it should be that we have development partners who really see their role\, not just as you know corporate landlords or people who are. Gonna you know. II can’t say how many projects that we we think through and negotiate over that are just total privatization of public spaces\, and they have cute acronyms like co-host\, and things like that that’s worthwhile. And sometimes it is but I have yet to see a partner like Hudson Pacific \nrwassum: really see themselves as stewards\, and they they use that term and I think they really need it the the thought and care that they’ve gone through. We take very seriously. We have a lot of history on this waterfront not the least of which includes the general strikes thirty’s and a lot of labor\, unrest and frankly\, city by painter strikes which got us the 8 h day in the city \nrwassum: and trickled out through American labor history. This iconic feature is very much a part of that history\, and as a \nrwassum: native San Francisco I’m pleased to see a partner that really takes serious their commitment to honoring this historic landmark. It’s a tough time to be in commercial real estate. We certainly felt the brunts of the pandemic and we saw about 850 people in San Francisco out of work which is unique. And I think that reactivating this part of the waterfront is really important. I think it sends the right message and a strong message\, and it’s my sincere hope that \nrwassum: with approval and do consideration\, that this extends into more revitalization\, not just on the waterfront\, but really down the market corridor. So we’re delighted to be in partnership with people who really care about the property that they’re taking ownership of. And I certainly appreciate the time and dedication of the advisory Committee. Bcd see? Respectfully support. Thank you. Thank you. \nrwassum: Okay\, Christine\, you’re up. And then I have Catherine. Good evening\, everyone. It’s actually really nice to be here\, having such a partial conversation given\, how many changes that were made between last year’s presentation and this one? So I’m the executive director for other staff members in here who\, \nrwassum: 165 times a year\, create an event that brings the public down the farmers market. And I just wanted to put into my own words that we really have been in good faith talking with our\, and we’re grateful for the changes that they’ve made. We are excited to renegotiate\, at least for this other Kate. It. It is \nrwassum: true that you might not be reviewing the exact details of that in 4 years\, when we do renegotiate. \nrwassum: But we are working towards a common vision of a teaching kitchen. Our educational facilities recorded what we do. We don’t just run farmers markets. We have 3\,000 elementary school students who come to visit our farmers market every year. We have a team program\, and the teaching kitchen is core to that\, and Hudson is aware of that. \nrwassum: So we will be in any kind of future visions for this other cave\, really holding fast to that view of the importance of a teaching facility. It’s also the space of the farmers market use. It gets references storage. But it’s not. It’s actually an active teaching space that we use regularly. That does bring a lot of people down to the waterfront that we want to have them will feel like the waterfront for them. \nrwassum: So I’m just hearing my own words to say we are working together. I’m thrilled with some of the changes that are made. I do think that we can accommodate our market around the cornerstone and the gateway sign\, and the and the arcades I mean in the the canopy. But I will steadfastly be fighting to keep our kitchen. And so and I think that that will be quite possible. \nrwassum: Thank you. Thank you. \nrwassum: Fixed. Okay. Next\, we have Katherine Petron. And last\, we have Danny. \nOkay. \nrwassum: good afternoon board members. My name is Catherine Petron. I’m representing San Francisco Heritage this evening. We appreciate having been included in discussions with representatives of and their consulting team. We’ve been following the project since it’s inception. We recognize the positive changes to the project over the last year. We’re still opposed \nrwassum: to the proposed changes affecting the North Arcade and the city saw it\, in fact\, city facing the side. In fact\, last year. Our comment was\, our feeling was. \nrwassum: there was a lot of flexibility that could be had at the rear of the building on the bay facing side\, but that \nrwassum: the civic\, the principal facade\, shouldn’t be as impacted \nrwassum: we related our comments to the project sponsoring conversation over the last year\, and in our letter of last May\, and we still believe that these arcades should serve and be recognizable as open and publicly accept accessible public spaces. \nrwassum: The facade is characterized by balance and symmetry and listening to the project. Tonight I’m really even more unclear about the treatment of the south side the south arcades. \nrwassum: If\, in fact\, that doesn’t come to pass. Then that relationship of symmetry is is even a bit more off balance. \nrwassum: We thought that the presentation had some really wonderful ideas about innovative lighting\, and we think that a lower impact alternative that folks on lighting could achieve some of the goals that are under consideration. I think we all agree that the ferry building is our city’s \nrwassum: just architectural gem. I mean\, there are few buildings that surpass it. City Hall. You know\, and so we just would. Really\, urge the most serious level of scrutiny for these proposed changes. Thank you very much. \nrwassum: Thank you. Next. Okay\, next we have\, Danny. \nrwassum: Thank you very\, very much. Good afternoon. I’m Stan. He’s under the president of the Telegraph. and you know the American Planning Association describes the Ferry building as a famous city’s most famous landmark. \nrwassum: We couldn’t agree more. We know you feel the same way. \nrwassum: We acknowledge the changes that are made in this revised project. We appreciate. we appreciate them as far as they go. \nrwassum: for reasons now in our letter\, and I hope you’ve had a chance to read. If you haven’t\, I have extra copies here. \nrwassum: We continue to oppose the permanent inclusion of the historic arcades. the privatization of the designated public access\, cafe market zones. \nrwassum: and the addition of canopy structures in front of the arcades on the embarcadero frontage. \nrwassum: We’re concerned by the resulting loss of more than 12\,000 square feet mobile access. We’re concerned that the private restaurant use and the canopy structure is in the North Cafe Zone\, and it’s eventual \nrwassum: replication in the soft cafe zone are gonna impair the architecturally prized sweep of the ferry buildings\, public facing and market. and it will impair the architecture that we’re concerned with. The project is inconsistent with the important public access policies that we operate under\, including BC. DC. San Francisco Bay Area plan. \nrwassum: And\, in fact\, the 1978 design guidelines that were referenced earlier. we’re concerned that approval of the project’s future expansion to the South Arcade and cafe zones is pretty assured. \nrwassum: and could pose a long term threat to the farmers. Markets\, liability. First of all. we’re concerned as a basic and fundamental principle that the very building not be transformed from its historic role as a public market place \nrwassum: into our restaurant entertainment and designation destination. \nrwassum: In reviewing this project\, we strongly urge you to consider the concerns here in our letter. \nrwassum: Please ensure that public access is preserved. and that the legacy of this great iconic building remains intact. Thank you. Thank you. \nrwassum: Okay. We will move to online questions. Or is there one? I have one public comment online. Good. Okay. \nrwassum: Robert Hair\, if you could. \nrwassum: I’m unmuted you. And if you could take 3 min to speak and please get your name for the record. \nRobert Harrer: Good evening my name is Bob Hare. I’m representing the Barbary Coast Neighborhood Association. \nRobert Harrer: and the also known as BC. NA. \nRobert Harrer: And BCNA. Supports the Revised Ferry building enhancement that is proposed by Hudson Pacific properties. \nRobert Harrer: We believe this project will improve the visitor. Experience and the attractiveness of the Fury Building facility. \nRobert Harrer: It will also enable the ferry building to remain competitive. These are the other potential waterfront attractions in the future. \nRobert Harrer: We appreciate that Hudson has made several modifications to the project. After discussions with the port and food wise. \nRobert Harrer: most notably the proposed kiosk in the eastern or river flies. \nRobert Harrer: has been removed. \nRobert Harrer: the project offers several benefits which should expand the appeal of the facility. \nRobert Harrer: Not only will it create a more comfortable customer experience\, it will also create a better platform \nRobert Harrer: for vendors and tenants. \nRobert Harrer: We will leave\, of course\, the detailed technical judgments of the proposals\, architectural and stylistic merit. To others. \nRobert Harrer: however\, we believe the plan proposal allows the fair building to broaden and improve its future offerings. \nRobert Harrer: We note the port is working on developing 2 other major waterfront attractions \nRobert Harrer: at pairs 30\, slash 32\, and \nRobert Harrer: 38\, slash 40. \nRobert Harrer: Thus it is \nRobert Harrer: quite important that the ferry building be given the support now \nRobert Harrer: to update its offerings\, and that it can be positioned to be competitive \nRobert Harrer: against those future attractions in the future. In conclusion. \nRobert Harrer: we strongly urge approval for Hudson’s proposed project. \nRobert Harrer: Thank you. \nrwassum: Thank you. I wanna let you know we have one more public speaker here in the room. So\, Stuart Morton. \nrwassum: yeah. \nrwassum: sorry about that. I’m still important. I’ve been in the preservation community over 50 years. That was one of the founders of Heritage Jordan. \nI got so excited I fell down. Can you imagine the canopies in front of this gorgeous building. \nrwassum: They’re kind of cheesy. They’re probably\, if you look at it and imagine that looking at the picture of the. \nrwassum: This is not what a new story \nrwassum: happen to it. That’s what’s happening. It’s a happening. \nWhat a shame! \nrwassum: I can’t believe that you would even think about it. It’s a very serious approach. I have also a question. \nrwassum: how will canopy of that when \nI mean\, did did God have a wind problem? I mean the westerlies \nrwassum: they have wanted canopy. I can’t believe you didn’t even think about this. Thank you. Thank you. Alright\, thank you. \nrwassum: Okay\, \nrwassum: thank you. That concludes public comment. Thank you. Everyone who commented. We always appreciate the \nrwassum: thoughts\, and we take very seriously everyone’s comments that have been made this evening. So now we go to the next part of the agenda\, which is for discussion and advice. And \nrwassum: what we \nrwassum: typically do is 3. We have a discussion. a fairly structured discussion tonight\, because there are a lot of people here for the discussion. And \nrwassum: we wanna make sure that the critical points are all make. So we have been given from BC. DC. Standpoint staff. Just a reminder. Staff asked us to consider 5 questions within the 7 objectives for public access\, that we always \nrwassum: hey as a foundation for our comments. But there are 5 specific comment specific questions. And so the first question deals with the alterations that are proposed. Do they reflect the civic nature of the very billing potential demands for public uses of site? \nrwassum: And I don’t know if we put the questions back up so everyone can see them. And and also it’s a city nature of the very building and surrounding public spaces supported by the materiality and decided project. So that’s the first question. Second question\, did the proposed alterations sufficiently maintain or enhance circulation and connectivity to an along shoreline. \nrwassum: The third question do the proposed activation areas along the building frontages collectively and individually promote and inviting and usual public access environment that’s very building and allow for adequate public circulation to site entrances and destinations. \nThe fourth question\, in particular\, would the proposal to place a cafe\, market\, zone\, slash market zone and public seating area in the South Promenade\, or \nrwassum: what we call the gateway gateway Plaza activate and improve the quality of the public access experience in balance with addressing the public access circulation needs project area\, the fixed question do the proposed elements supported cohesive\, legible? Anybody access program. So these are the 5 questions that would be post by staff for the side. \nrwassum: We had 3 questions that were posed by Dan Hodap for the Wbac. To consider\, and I’m just paraphrasing slightly here. But the first one will in had the proposed enhancements activate the frontage and continue \nrwassum: and continue to provide for all important views to this important historic building. \nrwassum: And it’s environment the second question for the Wd\, IC\, will be enhanced enhances on the south end in enhance the circulation\, the pedestrian character and the activation of this part of the building. And then the third question\, do all of the improvements take collectively? Do they all add up to \nrwassum: Do they all add up to an appropriate treatment for historic building and district of this importance to the city. \nrwassum: That’s probably 3 questions. Now\, I think what I’ll do to start with. What we typically\, do we have 5 questions here? But I’ll just ask each of the Board members to speak to one\, or maybe \nrwassum: 2\, of the questions that they feel represents\, you know\, their interests most. Most importantly\, so that we can. And we’ll have some dialogue as we go. So look\, I’m gonna go to the far end. Here\, Stefan\, I’ll hand this microphone down to you and Stefan\, if you would like to \nrwassum: just lead off with your reflections on these questions. So a couple of questions. \nrwassum: I think I’ll say that I’ll start. Maybe that thing that I appreciate a a lot of the changes. And I think\, where I would \nrwassum: maybe start or focus. I think has to do with question 3. \nrwassum: And it. \nrwassum: maybe I’m not alone in trying to grapple with this nature of sort of what is perceived as a loss of access with the billing up the portions of the Lookj \nrwassum: and \nrwassum: also understanding that the loaded today is not a high quality public space \nrwassum: and it’s also not very transparent into the building\, and that these improvements would actually address those things to a certain extent. But the nature of public access. I think this is still a question. \nrwassum: A question here. So one \nrwassum: maybe one way I’ve been trying to sort of think about this is that if there is sort of a loss of public space on the ground? Is there sort of a nexus or an enhancement or increase in public space around the building \nrwassum: that can be seen to sort of balance \nrwassum: the enclosure of a portion of the building. And if they’re if those 2 things can actually sort of be seen to counter each other. \nrwassum: Because I think if you even think of storage building going through an evolution where a logic is filled in\, certainly seems to be \nrwassum: a viable option. But what we have here is a building that it’s really \nrwassum: within \nrwassum: our Vcdc jurisdiction. \nrwassum: Yeah. So this this nature of really trying to maximize public access here. \nrwassum: So one could argue that the enhancements promenade into the area behind \nrwassum: are increasing public access to certain hours or counter. \nrwassum: What’s lost in the logo? \nrwassum: but II don’t know the answer to that question. \nrwassum: Because the I would say that the \nrwassum: South prominide appears improve greatly improved over what we saw before. \nrwassum: but I think there still is this question in my mind\, and I would sort of invite some discussion on that topic. \nrwassum: So if we are looking at a proposal that’s seeking to enhance public access. And if that’s sort of our job. But about this proposal is actually doing. \nStop there. Okay. \nrwassum: let’s let’s keep going down here. I’m mindful that we will just see how the topics expand\, how the topics progress is so\, Stefan\, I and and you’re making some critical\, critically important points there. So I we’ll discuss that. \nrwassum: Thank you so much for the thoughtful presentation. All of the comments and thanks also to the public. \nrwassum: Comments that we received is really nice to hear. Kind of the full set of of responses that people have. \nrwassum: and I also really appreciate coming down to the brass tax of the project. I think previously my concerns were about removing public seating that we’re supporting the market hall aspects and kind of focus\, shifting to more of a \nrwassum: classic restaurant approach instead of a kind of a market hall approach\, and that was primarily in response to the bay kitchen. So I’m personally pleased to see \nrwassum: what this the public sitting in the kitchen area is maintained. And II also appreciate hearing more about what the tenants need and how you’re engaging with the tenants supporting them. As it’s a very difficult time to be a retailer right now\, especially downtown. So I think that was really helpful for me. \nrwassum: And I also appreciate while working with the market. I think that was a really important component of the project’s public and accessibility. I think it’s like one of the major snap resources that’s available in San Francisco. So I think that was a really important aspect of public access to food in this case. \nrwassum: So I mean I. This may be controversial\, but II believe that \nrwassum: overall. I think this is a building that has changed a lot over time. \nrwassum: And that’s what’s made it work\, and I don’t think we should be afraid of the building\, continuing to change\, to keep up with trends and land uses. Particularly at this moment\, in time where we’re seeing our downtown struggle to bring life. And I think seeing a an operator who wants to kind of turn up the dials on bringing life to this really important destination downtown is great. I wanna I think we should do everything. \nrwassum: you know\, within reason to support that. I think activating the building with successful retailers and ensuring the success of small scale retailers. Here is a really important part of the success of this building\, and yet the concept that this building is always represented\, which is sort of see the best of the day in San Francisco. You know our kind of local readers. \nrwassum: And II think that’ll really benefit bringing life here will benefit our whole downtown district. \nrwassum: And I think this billing provides a number of really neat public access. It has assets it has usable seating. \nrwassum: That’s comfortable \nrwassum: indoor\, usual seating bathrooms that you can easily go to. When there’s sun you could. There’s a place to sit in the sun when there’s when there’s places to sit out of the wind. So to me\, that’s kind of the main \nrwassum: that that is a really wonderful public access part of this building. \nrwassum: and I’m not a historic planner at all. I’m not a historic architect\, but it’s my personal feeling that \nrwassum: public access that is not actively being used as public access\, like the arcade space\, which is really cafes right now\, and storage space. \nrwassum: I don’t. I agree with Safan. I don’t see the quality of that space\, and I don’t think \nrwassum: preserving it as public access just for the sake of square footage of public access is the right approach. I think this isn’t a building just to look at. It’s a building to be activated and used and loved\, and to support these successful businesses. So \nrwassum: I think that for the for the. \nrwassum: with regard to the North Arcade and Cafe Zone key things to me here are sort of 3 things \nrwassum: there’s a there’s a sort of a hierarchy that we can read in the facade. There’s the main entry\, that’s kind of number one. Most important. There’s these end caps\, which are kind of number 2\, most important. And then there’s these central arcades between them kind of the wings. \nrwassum: And I think that the \nrwassum: this idea of holding the glass \nbehind the line of the columns. \nrwassum: Let’s us read that Arcade. I mean what the Arcade is doing is\, it’s giving us this sort of depth of facade substantialness of the building. You can read the depth of these big columns holding the glass line behind. Those \nrwassum: does help those read\, and then I would just say\, the thing I’m struggling with is these cannabis which \nrwassum: to me sort of make those central places feel like more \nrwassum: prominent in this tripartite hierarchy or 5 partite hierarchy\, or whatever we’re talking about here. And I think if those cafe areas were a little bit lighter\, touch\, more fold away at night. \nrwassum: you know\, less substantial than got\, and market hall. Then I think that would actually reflect the kind of architectural character of the building in terms of the use of that space as our key space as as retail space. I think it’s great. Bring light and life into the spaces. I wanna walk down the market arrow and see this building just \nrwassum: full of people and lights at night. I think that would be incredibly wonderful. It’s a cold building. Give me conditions\, spaces where I could be comfortable at night and see the life on the street. I think to me that is sort of more fully in line with the vision of this building when it was renovated as this really public space. \nrwassum: after\, you know\, pulling on the market arrow\, freeway\, and all that. There’s been a major project to make this part of the waterfront really public\, I think\, actually bringing more life to the ground floor of this building. \nrwassum: light on the street\, and all that would help make it kind of more\, fully realizing its vision. And then the last point I’ll make is that I think that the wedge is a fantastic idea. I want to sit on the southern part of the building in the sun. I want more places for people to sit outside every time I go to the I work 15\, and every time that which is in the very building every time I go outside to eat\, there’s nowhere to sit in the sun\, and I would love more places to sit outside. So I think that’s fantastic. \nrwassum: And just the last point is on the South Arcade. I think just that. I would apply the same logic which is lighter touch. \nrwassum: Keep the kind of depth of facade evidence and live in it with uses. \nrwassum: If it’s going. If there’s going to be\, you know\, cafe sitting outside\, it should be kind of like lighter touch\, and keep keeping this visual hierarchy of this kind of like tripartite. \nrwassum: Can I just jump in on that for a second? \nrwassum: I really agree with everything you said. Very clear\, very articulate. The canopy\, the. Are you referring to the this on the cover? This\, you know\, my reaction to that\, just \nrwassum: as a person who goes down there on that side fairly often \nrwassum: when it’s hot. I mean\, if you’re sitting in Gotson\, you’re out in that seating area. It is incredibly hot during summer. And so I actually thought that canopy was a pretty light touch structure\, but providing much needed shape. So you know. \nrwassum: I liked the way you described the building and the breakdown of the building or the composition of the building. But if you look at this rendering on the first image in the exhibits. \nrwassum: I think it to your point about evolution of the time. I think that’s a fairly effective way to improve the comfort level for people. And you know public seats. Could you achieve it with umbrellas? I guess you could. I mean as a possibility. Yes\, and you know\, the market\, after all has is. \nrwassum: you know\, it’s market days. There’s lots of\, you know\, temporary structures in that. So yeah. \nrwassum: yes\, thank you. \nrwassum: What I’ve been thinking about the presentation is that I would summarize. The challenge here is. how do we activate support these small businesses and balance public access. \nrwassum: and I have some of the same questions that Stephan has in terms of \nrwassum: You know\, how do we come? Quantify\, evaluate \nrwassum: purse or footage literally. Do you know that conservation of public access? Given that the proposed design is meant to be flexible and reversible? I think \nrwassum: that that \nrwassum: lessons my concern\, and also given the fact that public access there is \nrwassum: not of high quality. So I kind of agree on a lot of the points already made. So I’ll kind of redirect my focus on 3 pause in the back. \nrwassum: and and the fact that it’s incredibly under utilized \nand I do think that proposed design will help\, and I agree that the wedge has \nrwassum: a lot of potential to be inviting space to to welcome people\, to to stay on the wedge\, but also direct people through the back. And my question about the marking extent \nrwassum: was because I’m I’m wondering if you would only see that marking. And then some of those key moves to invite people in is queues that there’s something exciting behind here. Please come to back. \nrwassum: I don’t think you’ll see them until you’re right in front of them\, and so \nrwassum: I would just invite people to explore how to extend those moves either to the curve line. I understand that this might be outside your project area\, but as people are walking up and down the market arrow\, I think there’s an opportunity \nrwassum: to really\, you know\, create a queue further. \nrwassum: that is\, is not currently in the design. \nSo I’ll stop there and hand it off to Gary. \nrwassum: Gary. \nrwassum: okay\, thank you. Yeah. Given the kind of economic trough that the city is in and the Market Street corridor ferry building can\, and should\, I think\, play a really important role in reinvigorating\, you know. And it can be kind of like an acupuncture move\, you know\, if you can activate this building\, it will spread out from there. And I think we do all agree that the Preservation Building is really\, really key. \nrwassum: But I also think that preservation of the building reinvigoration\, historic building is part of preserving a historic building. And so I kind of agree with what others said\, that if it’s flexible and it’s removable and it’s light\, and it is not a permanent doesn’t touch the building. It’s set away. \nrwassum: I’m sort of okay with the arcades if they’re doing the job of activating the holding. So I see that it’s really tricky. I really respect everybody’s opinion that’s come out today because I think the activation and preservation\, if you wanna be a purist in terms of preservation\, alright counter purposes. So you know\, luckily\, I don’t have to decide. You know how you you know \nrwassum: resolve that? \nrwassum: So anyway\, II think also the climatic modification of the the arcade. The new\, the new structure provides is good with shade\, and the render. It looked as though there there was radiant heaters in there\, hanging from \nrwassum: structure that seemed like a good idea to meet\, so that it deals with the heat\, but also when it’s cool and even wondering if there was some kind of roll down\, you know\, in screens\, or something that could come out of those arcades as well. So I know that umbrellas and any kind of fabric creates problems with the point. \nrwassum: So that’s I think the North Arcade. I wanna make one comment about the connectivity \nrwassum: to the waterfront. I don’t know it’s possible to bring up the one image. There’s a couple of perspectives looking towards the water from the market arrow on the south side\, and there’s 2 perspectives there. \nrwassum: But The signage at the end to me is \nrwassum: as much of a barrier. It’s maybe more of a barrier than than an invitation\, and I really like the way the signage and the granite. \nrwassum: It’s kind of a ground level\, so it’s there if you’re looking for it. But it’s not in your face. \nrwassum: I think. They’re in that one image. It says\, you know\, Fairy Plaza\, very building on the ground\, and it says very something on the building and very close again\, so it seems redundant\, and I think people will find their way there. If you’re a resident. \nrwassum: you know how to get there. If you’re a commuter\, you know how to get there. I’m not sure why that sign is there. \nrwassum: and if it does have to be there\, then I just think that it needs to be very\, very carefully designed. \nrwassum: with the same degree of care as the canopies. I was especially saw the way that sign meets the ground\, and as soon as you put a \nrwassum: obstruction in the traffic area\, now you have to do it with concrete footing at the base to keep\, you know\, cars from running into it\, and it just made me realize that that wasn’t fully designed. I know it’s not fully designed\, but as it goes forward\, if it goes forward I’ll keep that in mind. \nrwassum: Thank you. \nrwassum: Thank you. Thank you. Gary\, and yeah\, excellent comments. \nrwassum: you know. Bob\, I’m gonna hand to you. Why don’t you? \nrwassum: Yeah\, it’s a beautiful. It’s a beautiful building I feel a little out of my depth here as a engineer and not a designer. \nrwassum: In the sense that we’re talking about here. \nrwassum: I’m concerned about the kind of the conflict between \nrwassum: some comments about wanting to keep the arcades open space and to maintain public office space and \nrwassum: desire to activate the space and to change the use. And II really\, I’ve been thinking\, and II can’t think of a way to mediate that. I think that other board members have some great comments \nrwassum: on how to do that. so I’ll just \nrwassum: give my time to the other board members. Okay\, thank you. \nrwassum: Well\, for me. I think I I’m I’m not going to \nrwassum: build on what the other Board members have said. I think it’s II agree with everything that people said\, and \nrwassum: I think\, for for me the critical question that you know I want to address is is the the question of the publicness of public space and the evolution of public access of the time\, and \nrwassum: I think\, for those of us. on. of improving or creating public space over the years\, you do see a constant evolution of how public space is used\, and \nrwassum: you know what may be very effective for 5 or 10 years\, then may become redundant\, and then something else might become more effective\, more appealing to people. So \nrwassum: well\, I know our BC\, DC\, you know we we have to have purpose\, and we do establish precise with footages. I think\, when it comes to the public space around this early. \nrwassum: the precision of how many square feet represents a compromise that could not be \nrwassum: well back from versus a compromise that might actually enhance the overall public \nrwassum: sense of \nrwassum: quality of public space because of other things that are being added in there\, or other attractions or other destinations\, can in my mind\, be a reasonable \nrwassum: justification for being able to compromise a little bit on these square footages. \nrwassum: And I think\, in South Plaza\, I think\, what is proposed is is very positive enhancement. \nrwassum: I actually like the way finding \nrwassum: aspect of that very class assigned Gary. I agree with you. The detailing could be refined\, but obviously there would be time to do that. \nrwassum: But I know from the standpoint of the type of visitors who come here not everybody really knows how to find all the different very \nrwassum: you know which way to go\, left or right for the different walks\, and I think that was actually quite a useful thing to to have there\, as well as the additional signage. So I think that is very well handled. \nrwassum: I \nrwassum: and I won’t repeat what we said about the update. But I do think that evolution. \nrwassum: viability\, activation\, comfort are really critical aspects for public space. And II think this proposal is has done a good job at at creating that \nrwassum: better environment and focusing on those areas. \nrwassum: So I look\, I think that with that I think I’ll hand over to the W. Tac. \nrwassum: you have. I think we’ve pretty much touched on the 5 questions here. So stuff\, please clarify. There’s something handle adequately. But let’s go into the wdic. And \nrwassum: and those 3 questions that you were asked to to look at and discuss. Thank you. \nrwassum: Catherine\, please. Ii can’t speak loud enough. Can you hear me? I think. Use the use of zoom again. \nrwassum: may I say for introduction that your questions\, 1\, 3\, and 5 \nrwassum: very much resonate with me\, and I wish I would be allowed to comment on them. Very thoughtful. And I very much appreciate it. Just send us a summary\, including specific aspects that are very important to me. I personally actually received 5 questions in my memo. \nrwassum: Of which Dan\, I think\, summarize 3. And I’m gonna try to identify the questions because the way he stated them there was slightly different phrase than what you said\, so I will try. \nDo the proposed design enhancements reflect the history and sign nature of the ferry building. \nrwassum: I think that is a big\, big question\, because over time the fairy building\, as was presented today\, particularly with respect to looking at history and challenges over time\, is gone. So many\, many changes. What is our responsibility? Is the building\, as it is \nrwassum: beautifully restored to a historic building that we all feel is of extremely important civic nature and civic presence in the city it does actually anchor. The city between \nrwassum: City Hall is unalterable\, and the ferry building\, where land meets water. And I think that analog for me leaves the building itself so precious and so important that I have very little tolerance or appreciation for those changes of which I see too many on the west facade \nrwassum: given absence mission of to to utilize and activate the building. I’m very much in support of everything that’s happening on the south side. Again\, some of the design choices in detail can pro probably be elevated and can be staying as a longer discussion. There’s certain aspects which I think we could all discuss of improving on. \nrwassum: However\, it is the building itself\, and what we are suggesting on the west side. where I have big questions. Most and foremost\, I believe \nrwassum: I fully support the idea of activating the building. However. the canopy\, as proposed from my perspective\, is extremely static. \nrwassum: It is so static that it actually changes the perception of how we perceive the building from the long view from across the street\, as well as how we seize a building\, or don’t see the building. Well\, when we are on \nrwassum: society work in front of the building. \nrwassum: the canopy is too massive\, the canopy is too long\, and if the wisdom of the arcade gives us a clue for activation\, then I believe that the \nrwassum: motion of the arcade is being obliterated by the static nature of the canopy \nrwassum: you have like waves\, and all of sudden it’s all flat. It’s covered\, it has lights on it. It’s very regimented\, and I think it wipes out the dynamic of what could be \nrwassum: earlier today. Alman made a very important point that immediately sparked my curiosity\, although we’re not here in a real design discussion. When she said. consider of how you could basically \nrwassum: utilize or furnish a space undernecrate in a slightly different way. And I think there are other ways doing that. \nrwassum: the second question and then you need to correct me if I’m not quite hitting the right number here\, based on what I’m providing and what you said. \nrwassum: What’s the proposal to place a cafe market zone and public seating area in the South. Permanent improves the quality of public space. \nrwassum: I would say\, most likely. Yes. \nrwassum: I answered\, that another one is other proposed canopy structures along the west side of the building\, compared with history with the historic district? And do they continue to allow appropriate use of the building? The answer would be. \nrwassum: No\, I summarized that. \nrwassum: Do the proposed improvements enhance circulation and connectivity to and from the fair building\, Zambagu permanent\, and the fair plaza \nrwassum: my answer would say\, in the way it is delineated. I would question it. My answer would probably be\, no. \nrwassum: What starts to really concern me is that the changes that need to be made to the ground plane 3 times during a week \nrwassum: creates an element of too much activity and haste \nrwassum: that takes away of perceiving a strong \npublic space \nrwassum: as being really there. There’s constant changes. And I like the dynamic what’s happening on the South Plaza and in the wedge and beyond. But as it addresses the front of the building. \nrwassum: I am concerned about that. Those will be my comments. \nrwassum: I think. Many of you have said many of the things that probably will have to say. And I was just gonna suggest that I don’t know how this works\, but we do have 3 different spaces\, and which we’re looking into\, and I guess eventually evaluating. And that is the wedge in that front of the building. \nrwassum: So definitely\, if we’re talking on those 3 terms\, I think the proposals we made for the pluses seem pretty reasonable to me in terms of focusing on late \nrwassum: the ferry bill\, the ferry plaza sign. The only question I was gonna ask whether that would also include the function of providing that separation for for traffic\, because right now you have this temporary barrier that doesn’t necessarily look that great\, anyway. So going back to the point of what currently is happening can be improved by having that arc \nrwassum: be functional for that separation\, or that separation is no longer necessary. \nrwassum: so in in which case\, then\, I prefer honestly to have a more design element that incorporates all those functions that the will require\, and that then feels a much more welcoming and clear element to include. \nrwassum: Given that it is definitely gonna go through. As you know\, the design to be done carefully and integrated. So it feels very \nrwassum: oh. \nrwassum: friendly to pedestrians\, while at the same time barriers. \nrwassum: cars when needed and if needed. \nrwassum: So in that case\, I think from that perspective\, I think that’s fantastic. This whole area on the wedge and the reactation. I couldn’t agree more. That’s phase. When you are in the market day it feels like the most amazing place \nrwassum: most of the time when I’ve been there it always feels like it’s an empty market space\, which actually is the whole point of these new improvements \nrwassum: that I think will change that perception. So I’m pretty much in favor of all of these\, and whether \nrwassum: even sort of to Patricia’s comment\, whether it has to come out or not. I don’t think in in essence people need that. Once you begin to see it activated\, you will understand that this is an inviting place as opposed to the back of house\, which is my perception currently today. \nrwassum: That brings us back to what I’m receiving in the conversation the more controversial. and from my perception. I would probably lean on the side of saying\, we do need to support our \nrwassum: vendors. Our restaurants are ours. Everything in the city today is becoming more\, more and more paramount that we actually go a little bit above and beyond\, in order to reactivate all of the areas that we all enjoy. \nrwassum: And to me the biggest conundrum had always been. Why is it fair building has such a limited schedule? And it is because we don’t know that it is openly. And so the whole notion of whatever needs to happen that to activate that I think I’m very much in favor of. \nrwassum: I am not a retail or commercial expert. But I do know that all those activations in reality are a bit of a gamble. You have to test something\, put it out there\, see how it works\, and then evaluate and revisit. I think \nrwassum: I presume some of that will play a factor in how this activation happens. I couldn’t agree more that I am a fan of blue bottle in the world in general. In that location a blue bottle at the very building seems like something that somebody forgot to finish up. \nrwassum: You feel you really feel that you’re under some kind of temporary situation. So currently\, the activation of the publicness of that space. I think in my mind as a user of the city\, not as a designer. Anything else feel somewhat. \nrwassum: Am I supposed to be here. This is the backup house like you know how the slant store used to have the out. The door thing like this is a little thing where\, like there’s a blue bottle inside which\, indeed\, there is one. So there’s this whole perception of what happens on that secondary function. I think this \nrwassum: proposal is the current risk the current gamble to try to figure out. I do think that there are many things that the minor level of design\, whether that perception is 6 foot. \nrwassum: although the grandness of that movement is is perceived correctly or not. And and it’s not about the 6 foot dimension it’s about. I think Patrice was bringing that up about it is making it work\, not necessarily fight over feet and inches. \nrwassum: And that’s why I was bringing up the question. Can we think of this parallel axis that feels pretty open because currently\, right now\, my perception only in terms of what cost the cost. \nrwassum: Sorry. No\, is that that is definitely pretty unaccessible unless I work\, I go by \nrwassum: which I haven’t. But if the idea that I’ve seen here from for this proposal is not quite like that it is perceived as something that you can come through\, go through\, pass through\, and I think that’s the big difference\, I think. \nrwassum: And so for that\, from that regard. I like the class. \nrwassum: All of those things\, I think\, are fantastic. I do wonder\, I think the benches that are supposed to be in front to kind of delineate that as or anything that we’re introduced as a public benefit. \nrwassum: And I wonder if that’s necessary in this context of keeping this perceived as much more flexible than with Mark\, please. And Goth got thoughts \nrwassum: he’s doing because those 2 spaces don’t. Don’t feel as public\, let’s say as I just. I’m just wondering if it’s a decision of those little end elements that may have you perceive us. I’m giving you something at the turn that perceptually is making us feel this is more private than it should be. \nrwassum: because I do think the intention\, and I believe that this is meant to be pretty common. \nrwassum: And it’s just some. Some of the things\, even though\, that physically are allowing public access might be prevent projecting an image of not being as public as it could be. \nrwassum: The question of the trail is in my mind. Is. \nrwassum: is it again part of this idea of of activating within a little bit of a gamble. Do you need to shade in order for them to be successful or not? And that’s probably the question that we need to ask is whether shade is a must or a good thing to have\, and in the presentation to be fair\, I don’t know if I heard that is \nrwassum: a deal breaker. If if some person decides to put a rest around this location without the canopy or the \nrwassum: they would be like\, I’m out of the I’m out of this game. This is\, this doesn’t work on this. They have some ability of shaded in there\, and that maybe that’s something that we can clarify\, and that may bring another \nrwassum: way to evaluate the value of that canopy. Within the context of what we’re trying to achieve\, which is activating. \nrwassum: Yeah. So \nrwassum: I’m sort of gonna echo some of the same thoughts that have already been \nrwassum: brought up. But he was Kirsten. \nrwassum: Everything everything you said was kind of what I was thinking about. I completely agree with the the very plaza area. I agree. I think the proposed \nrwassum: updates are reasonable. I think the wedge \nrwassum: The wedge plaza area also seems like. \nrwassum: you know\, that’s kind of the right thing to do in that location. I will say that the very \nrwassum: the fairy sign. \nrwassum: yeah. I’m not sure also how I feel about it\, but I do know that \nrwassum: I was recently in Hong Kong\, and there were moments in these crowds\, but the only way I could way find is to look up. And so I think that might be something we wanna really just think about when it is crowded. And you know\, you can’t see sides that are ground level. So I think that’s important. \nrwassum: And then\, as far as the south treatment. \nrwassum: Yeah\, you know again\, I think I agree with the \nrwassum: idea that it is not well used space. And I used to. You know. I used to come here a lot to the ferry building during lunch and on weekends. \nrwassum: and these spaces were never places that I would want to be \nrwassum: my dog would not even want to walk under them. And so I think\, you know\, we really need to think seriously about you know how valuable some of this public spaces\, if it’s not being used. \nrwassum: and we have an opportunity here to \nrwassum: make them more publicly used. And so I think I would. You know I would\, you know\, want to keep that in mind. \nrwassum: I think the other thing I would just add is\, and this might be. Controversial\, too\, is the idea of the canopies. \nrwassum: Don’t offend me. I think if they’re done right and are \nrwassum: finely detailed\, they can actually accentuate the architecture. \nrwassum: the historic architecture\, I mean\, I think they’re really great examples throughout the world. this country\, Asia\, Europe. where \nrwassum: the integration of a modern structure\, or even support systems into historic architecture. When I see them. \nrwassum: I think it’s beautiful. I think they actually accentuate the historic architecture in many ways. And you know\, this one’s a little bit hard to see to read\, because\, you know\, you see the sort of powerful line across this canopy across the south face\, and I’m trying to figure out if I were standing across Barcodero. \nrwassum: What I really perceive this canopy\, which at least in the renderings\, appears to be very porous. You know\, if anything\, I think\, looking at the renderings\, I still\, kinda I can still make out the the historic facade of the building. \nrwassum: So you know\, without that kind of rendering\, you know. Who’s to say whether that’s really that dominant or not? I think again\, if it’s done. Well\, it could help. It could help to sort of light up the \nrwassum: the elevation of the building. So \nrwassum: any any comments? \nrwassum: Okay. \nrwassum: okay\, I will. Book. I’ll go through the 3 spaces. And I think we’re agreement. It’s restrained. It’s really not that big change. And the mighty makes a lot of sense. \nrwassum: The wedge plaza. I agree with a lot of the comments. I do think that \nrwassum: that the Graphic is on actually the vehicular surface. But I can appreciate that’s where the like visibility\, the figure. And we’re trying to drive traffic foot traffic. \nrwassum: I think the comments about devils and the details. And I know this is really service room. But it’s gonna get probably choppier like with crosswalks and things\, so \nrwassum: that I will put faith in the design team and the like process to kind of find elegant ways to resolve how that thing fits in to things I do. \nrwassum: And you know it’s not for Wjc. To maybe comment on the permits\, but it is the public access. It feels strange to me that there is like we’re moving pieces of permits around. But we’re not over maintaining a pattern on the South that doesn’t actually have to do it. \nrwassum: The usage \ncirculation. So I see that this is like a a first move in the \nrwassum: added proposed public access requirement. But I would say it like\, you have \nrwassum: pinch points\, and it just seems strange. So it is maybe a moment to think about. Is there an opportunity \nrwassum: to clean up actually\, what’s important about the public access on the South and then on the arcades and the Northern\, II think\, agree. I have concerns about the Southern being something we have no real notion of what \nrwassum: the details are so I’m not really comfortable\, that that is a thing that just gets rolled in for the Northern\, and\, I should say\, really really appreciate the thoughtfulness and the restraint\, and coming back \nrwassum: and I think this presentation was really well organized. and I hear the nighttime \nrwassum: goals\, which I think is a really important one. So to me\, then\, the canopy is about lighting and heat\, actually\, maybe more than shade and so that how do we can we achieve that? I I’ve come to kind of agree on the Arcade. \nrwassum: The possibility enclosure. I think some of the things I feel like I take issue with is the things that feel like their gestures to maintain publicness. But they’re not right. So even in maybe is actually about fire. But the passage between the 2 restaurant spaces. \nrwassum: It’s not really. Maybe that’s I don’t know. It’s preservation or fire\, but it doesn’t seem to me about like public circulation. I like what? Where Alma was going about\, actually affiliating it with the outside space\, especially with opening up those \nrwassum: arcades. I am in the same. I think\, thinking of like some hesitation about the canopies. I appreciate \nrwassum: person\, how you talked about that and I do wonder the length\, I mean\, 115 feet is pretty long. So that is\, I think\, thinking about how can you \nrwassum: downgrade and maybe straight on\, like I do think that aerial view on the front cover does like do a better job of convincing? That’s not actually do. Any of us are gonna experience. \nrwassum: I am curious to the dentum\, like what the height that is\, and having you can see through. And the arcade. Thank you. Okay\, I go look at that. \nrwassum: so that it’s not obscuring from a distance. And I do think that is. \nrwassum: that is the privatization. So I don’t know. II I’m reading that is like that is a controlled perimeter most of the time\, and I know it’s like meant to feel airy\, and it is a control perimeter. So I would like to see emphasis on additional seating in other places which I think would support. I mean finding the seat over there sometimes can be hard. So II support in general. I think you know\, design could be talked about. \nrwassum: So I’m gonna give him. I think then I’m conclusive on the canopy. But I think my recommendation would be. I think it could be done. But I’m concerned about the details. I’m concerned aboutings. I’m concerned about how the perimeter really works in the end\, and whether it should be one singular length. \nrwassum: Thank you to everyone. One of the benefits of being last is that all the good ideas have been spoken. I have a lot of empathy for everyone in this room\, of\, from all perspectives\, including the \nrwassum: heritage and hill\, and as well as the applicant and the architect is a \nrwassum: authority problem. I’ll \nrwassum: keep my comments to the arcades and the canopies. I think everyone is\, had very good comments about the I will note that the 2\,002 project\, which was \nrwassum: pretty controversial when they cut the holes in the floor\, and people were \nrwassum: very concerned about that. And that turned out to be the right book and \nrwassum: it was\, you know\, argued about\, and people who argue about the certain territory standards can come to very different conclusions. You know all in good goodwill and good faith. \nrwassum: To my mind. The arcades fundamental nature changed when their ends were enclosed and they ceased becoming connected tissue\, and they basically became covered outdoor space so that the North and South Arcade\, which is what we’re talking about\, really don’t connect anything \nrwassum: and in fact\, they’re already privatized\, and they’re privatized in a very ad hoc\, and not very successful way where they’re \nrwassum: 22 foot interior. Gracious! With this\, been carved up with these little boxes and kiosks\, and and a little kind of mean circulation area along the north side\, and then themselves side. As much as you know. We want to see food wise seated\, everything storage lockers\, except on\, you know\, when when conditions operating. So I hope \nrwassum: with the successful. So lease extension that they can actually build something that’s that’s more permanent and visible. so I do support the enclosure of the arcades and the rendering. If you could go back a couple of shows that view of the restaurant \nrwassum: this one \nrwassum: side by side. Yeah\, those are good\, just position. And I have 2 months\, 2 months of this. This to me\, restore the spatial characteristic of that arcade. \nrwassum: and you can kind of see in the background. Oh\, there’s a little box that’s the backhouse. \nrwassum: I’m very concerned that once you layer in the ductwork for goods and make up air and possible space conditioning. And you do a more realistic version of what a backup house restaurant looks like that we’re going to approach \nrwassum: more what we what we have now with simply a glass wall. And so\, boy\, is the double of the details of these restaurants. \nrwassum: and I do note that well\, gods is successful. Gods has about 10 feet on the other side of the wall. \nrwassum: and while everyone wants to watch exhibition cooking. Nobody wants to watch exhibition dishwashing. And so that’s really gonna make a break. \nrwassum: As to the privatization of the public room\, I would say that we should keep in mind that the ferry building\, as a whole\, as a marketplace\, extremely successful\, to separate people from their money\, and while you can walk through there without pulling out your wallet\, I think. \nrwassum: Kind of not the point. \nAnd a cafe presents a fairly low barrier to entry \nrwassum: for a $15 beer. You can sit there for 2 h. \nrwassum: So get that leaves leaves me with the \nrwassum: Kennedy’s. I’m of 2 minds. Half of me would rather see a bunch of clunky market umbrellas and and space heaters out there that they roll back on at the end of the day. \nrwassum: But intellectually I do believe there’s possibility of a successful design for those candidates. I think it has to be very minimal. \nrwassum: I think even the what’s intended now has 2 horizontal bars\, and it doesn’t appear to be \nlower of which seems to intrude on the \nrwassum: on top of the arch. \nrwassum: I’d love to see a series of perspectives from across the street\, from the curb line from. you know\, every 20 feet\, to actually see \nrwassum: without all the beautiful entourage just showing what with the\, with the stuff\, with the heaters there? And are they clunky\, or are they streamlined and integrated house thin? Can you get this thing? How elegant can you get this such that it can visually recede? \nrwassum: And I think there’s the possibility for that. I think there’s a lot of design work. \nrwassum: And I would have like to see more detail on that going forward to future design review boards. I would recommend the apple. Do those studies without the entourage that you know everybody loves happy people eating. \ndo it\, do it in a more sort of stripped down way. \nrwassum: Oh\, one last comment\, which is these market lights which are ubiquitous on every parklet and most people’s backyards\, and you can buy them depot. \nrwassum: I think that this as a canopy element\, is is minimal \nrwassum: approach would be far more successful with completely concealed sources. So you have pools of light on the dining\, but you don’t walk\, drive by\, and it looks like this\, you know. \nrwassum: It’s cheap lights \ngoing back. \nrwassum: Couple of comments. I saw everybody’s head nod when he said concealed lights. Just wanted to. Nobody else expressed that. But I saw 5 heads\, not at the same time\, and one clarification on public access square footage. This area\, where the candidates being proposed anticipated for this cafe restaurant use \nrwassum: in the original remodel permit for the ferry building. So it’s not technically a loss of public space. This was the intended use\, such as Gots and market bar. It’s not a balance that probably needs to be hit on square footage \nrwassum: for this area. but it’s a I think\, a design question\, and that’s why we have the design experts here. \nSo \nrwassum: if we had kind of something to add to your discussion is now the time to. Yes\, I was just going to summarize. So yes\, go ahead. Yeah. So one of the things that we’ve been discussing with the applicant and with the port. \nrwassum: Sure. So one of the things we’ve been discussing with the applicants and with the port I’m having to do with that Southern wedge is the circulation around I guess\, like the north side of the drive aisle where? In the proposed cafe market zone. They would have like some barriers around that meeting area where\, right now\, I guess it’s like kind of where the cons are. And so we are curious. Because it \nrwassum: it has been like a topic of discussion is like how that space and we can figure if anybody had an opinion about like that like circulation through that space. Or if I don’t know if you just like to find on that a little bit\, so that we have a little bit of feedback to work with. \nrwassum: that would be great. \nOkay. \nrwassum: I’ll I’ll let me respond to that. Anyone else can jump in. It’s an important question. And I think the \nrwassum: majority\, I mean\, I think everyone actually feels very positive about the activation of that area. So this is one of those questions about \nrwassum: human behavior in relation to a defined cafe seating zone when there is still a very large area around it\, some of which is defined roadway \nwith \nrwassum: certain times that they might be activity on that\, but for the majority of the time pedestrians to most that \nrwassum: really in without even\, II think\, thinking about the fact that they’re on the roadway versus defined pedestrian area. \nrwassum: I think the \nrwassum: the other thing I would say about this is\, this is very much a a a flex zone here from a pedestrian standpoint. So you know the definition of where the pedestrian walks \nrwassum: is not. \nrwassum: this seems to be a very big area open to the pedestrians\, even with the definition of that that restaurant area with the planters that move back and forth to accommodate the market. So \nrwassum: I don’t see an issue with that. II appreciate that in the end you’ve got to define these. Some of you know what is formally defined as as pedestrian versus vehicular\, or \nrwassum: or the other side adjacent the plaza. But I think in this case\, the benefits \nrwassum: that are accruing from that outdoor seating area and the desire to have that. \nrwassum: I think\, means that \nrwassum: area can be accommodated in what I would call that that quite large\, flexible area. \nrwassum: Do people agree with that? Do you want to add something. \nrwassum: I completely agree. And I think what’s happening around the edge of this building in general is the bump out in front of got in the bomb out in front of Market Hall. Kind of create this like soft. \nrwassum: occupiable edge around the building. And \nrwassum: it it struck public. Just square feet of concrete is not by itself great public space\, right? What makes great public spaces \nrwassum: offering different ways to use it\, and I think\, providing these kind of soft\, occupable edges around the building and clarifying circulation patterns\, and opening up spaces where there’s eddies and things as necessary\, and giving gracious enough space to entry ways\, and all of that \nrwassum: is a way of structuring the way to use the building that just makes it more legible. And I think to me this is \nrwassum: adding a kind of a soft\, occupyable edge in a way that makes this face not feel like back to house anymore. It’s still navigable. With this kind of you can cut the edge of the corner and go around edge if you want to see the tables\, but it does also on like a market day when there might be people. A lot of people wanting to find a place to say it does kind of clearly indicate where you could sit comfortably without people bumping into your legs\, and where you can kind of walk \nrwassum: without having to worry about bumping into people’s legs. So I think\, giving this this space. \nrwassum: I think there’s enough space here for circulation\, clearly for people\, and it seems like enough space for this kind of nice seating and adding this structure to this\, and I think this also goes from the side\, giving them a little bit more structure and opportunity to occupy these spaces\, and also have plenty of generous circulation. Space\, I think\, isn’t total improvement to the legibility of the whole building. So just to really fall on you\, said I agree. \nrwassum: and I ask a question. Aye. \nrwassum: so the open public seating is only on the west side of that south facade and on the eastern facade. What we’re trying to get to is like\, is that a porous dining area where people can walk through? It’s like it’s packing like gold Starbucks out here. \nrwassum: or is it appropriate or acceptable\, for there to be dividers\, and it becomes an exclusive space that public then needs to circulate around. I have an opinion on that. I have an opinion. \nrwassum: So II think this gets to this idea of like what’s what’s measurable. And so \nrwassum: maybe the window that I look at that through is that if you can create spaces along the edge of building where the public \nrwassum: can have a good experience \nrwassum: in in a way that the public can have a good experience all along the edge of\, like a really well designed commercial building on Market Street\, in downtown. \nrwassum: That we should \nsupport that wherever we could get it. \nrwassum: And so I was talking to \nrwassum: my faithful seat maker. About just this \nrwassum: The edges of the building right now are not so great. And so\, if you look at them from the same point\, what’s the quality of the sidewalk in front of the building\, where there is not an outer seating area. \nIt’s not that it’s really not that great \nrwassum: but if there was sort of an active edge that you could walk along. \nrwassum: you could argue that you’re sort of \nrwassum: a larger portion of the building that is today somewhat inconsistent. So I would. I would look at the web to that web and say\, maybe the goal is to try to make space around as much of the building as you can where it feels really great to walk along the edge. \nrwassum: I mean\, I’ve I’ve sort of go for that shy zone\, that where you can actually put people next building\, you can \nrwassum: have entrances and other things that open up\, you can have transparency instead of the back of the kitchen store. That sort of encourages \nrwassum: the kind of pedestrian activity that’s oriented to the building. \nrwassum: So I wouldn’t be supportive of having that continue around the southern side of building. \nrwassum: Very welcome. \nrwassum: Yeah. I mean\, I think\, yeah\, Stephan\, specific question was\, if that was leased to a restaurant\, would that be acceptable? And I think what I’m hearing you say is \nrwassum: yes or no. \nI think the answer is that \nrwassum: having that publicly accessible space around the edge of the building. \nrwassum: yeah\, not restaurants. or the condition that we’re seeing in the in front of these loaches is that \nrwassum: there\, in theory\, is a passage along the edge of the building between the actual restaurant space and the outdoor seating where I could continue to walk. \nrwassum: It’s not in the permit yet. but I think that kind of space is something. I think that from a policy standpoint I we would\, I would support. So just to be clear in the south at the south side. So in this rendering. \nrwassum: with the outdoor seating area with the plan of boxes. It’s not the other outdoor seating areas with \nrwassum: everyone can. You know\, you could see tables\, chairs that everyone could see that. And then further along. There’s a zone that might be attached to a restaurant that might occupy that corner in the future. This is all might\, you know\, but I mean\, I feel like that’s appropriate. I you know the building is is big enough\, and the offerings that you know you want variety. And \nrwassum: I think it’s okay\, zones are getting closer together. Right? So from the pedestrian standpoint\, it’s not that big of a deal to move around. And sort of that’s fine. The idea again of walking around building. \nrwassum: Yes. \nrwassum: it’s an enhanced through this proposal that I would sort of see how far we could take them right now\, May\, Wdc\, add a comment to this conversation\, or do we keep these separate? \nrwassum: Go ahead. I just wanted to note\, and I’m hopeful that the team could work it out. But I not clear on how Ada is handled here\, and I think that may send you in different directions\, because if you have to have a strong edging for the whole length of that. \nrwassum: Then you’ve got \nrwassum: like cause. If if it’s able to be fluid with the where the striping is\, then I’m completely in agreement. But if you’ve got an edging that needs to be more controlled than what we’re seeing. \nand it’s forcing everyone to come across\, walk over and back. That would be my question of like attention to that. \nrwassum: How that is reconciled. \nrwassum: So\, Alma. \nrwassum: I was actually just gonna react to to the question. So the question was\, is it appropriate to have a more private zone or less public\, to say any other one? From from the point of view we were arguing earlier about with the ferry\, plus up sign was useful or necessary\, or whichever way is done \nrwassum: under that\, I think\, having something that is a little bit more dedicated\, presumably constantly more occupied by people servicing and eating\, or having coffee \nrwassum: in my mind\, works as another anchor to pull people into that or into that location rather than just to leave it all open\, ended as public\, fully public space in which you have to decide \nrwassum: how to activate \nrwassum: different countries\, different cultures. They do that differently. But in the Us. You do have to be more instructional. You have to say\, this is a good place for you to hang out. So I feel like\, from the perspective of that point of being at the embargo\, seeing that corner and seeing those people always there versus. Here’s people transiting and sitting occasionally. I do think that that’s a that’s a helpful thing to have now the proportion. \nrwassum: the axis\, how tight it is close to the building\, we need people more access to to your point. \nrwassum: I agree that in the proposal is chosen in the right place\, because this is what it gets narrow. So naturally you\, your movement is somebody who’s not interested in having a coffee \nrwassum: will be less abrupt than if you do it the other way around. So from the perspective of what they’re presenting to us\, I think this is more consistent to one of my questions I need to answer \nrwassum: from here that whether this is this maintains that the perception publicness\, but also\, we are asked to say\, are the features in the signage will add clarity\, and still permit views. And so I think in that perspective\, the answer to your question would be\, from my point of view\, probably this is the right balance. \nrwassum: Helpful? Yes. Good. \nrwassum: Okay. So I’m just going to briefly summarize where we’re at after the \nrwassum: dialogue before we ask for the. So \nrwassum: I think I’m just gonna look to the areas of consensus. So if we wanted to check off the the plaza\, I think everyone feels very positive about the enhancing that through additional lighting so. \nrwassum: and \nrwassum: consensus on that item on the south plus of the wedge\, I think there is consensus again. All of this is in the context of devils in the detail\, and take on all the comments they design. Ada. And you know the other things that we talk about \nrwassum: the the South Arcade. \nrwassum: I think everybody supports our market operator\, who was\, I think\, we really \nrwassum: very committed any\, and want to see their long term. We want to see the kitchen their long term he is not clear\, because we didn’t see any proposed details\, and we understand why\, from Hudson the city that this is not \nrwassum: on the front burner. Yes\, and I wanna pick up on something that Alma mentioned earlier\, too\, that I think \nrwassum: if this is some years down the track. \nrwassum: I think it gives a very good amount of time to be able to observe the experimentation on the north\, the success of the North Arcade and find out\, hey? Down the track. So I would say\, we can’t offer consensus on the South Arcade\, because\, in a way\, it’s not being presented in detail to us tonight. So I would put that aside and just say\, we don’t need to \nrwassum: really resolve that \nrwassum: tonight on the North Arcade. \nrwassum: I think there is general consensus that enhanced lighting is good activation drawing people into the building especially at night\, letting us know that \nrwassum: it’s a great place to be is very important. I think there’s general consensus that the you know\, having restaurants operations that activate the the North. Is a positive. \nrwassum: but you know\, very be brackets. After that the devil is in the detail. The operational complications and challenges the movement public movement through these areas of deception of publicness. \nrwassum: You know\, outstanding questions. And then\, of course\, the \nrwassum: And then the third point that I wrote down that I think this general consensus on is that cleaning up? What’s there at the moment\, which is really very modest and not really very attractive\, is a very positive thing\, and\, you know\, can only enhance \nrwassum: everyone’s experience of the of the free building. the unresolved issues. \nrwassum: Academy. \nrwassum: again\, the brackets\, the devils in the details. So design really needs to be looked at. Could the links be broken up. Can they be studies to convince\, to to have the designers and \nrwassum: port and BC. DC. Or feel very confident on the the the \nrwassum: character of the candidate. Lightness of the canopy is not going to impact the facade of this very important historic building. \nrwassum: The public access under the colonnade unresolved\, and I think that is also tied to the question of the restaurant. Layouts and operation are not resolved yet\, because that doesn’t get resolved until you have potential restaurant restaurants coming in. And so I think this\, you know\, that has to all be taken\, \nrwassum: you know\, into further study\, which is not really our role as advisers. Our role is to point out exactly what you know we’ve done tonight provide our concerns and hear the concerns of the community which we take very seriously \nrwassum: and then provide that guidance\, so that the really excellent professionals who are responsible for working with the proponent to advance. This can do a great job. \nrwassum: So there are definitely unresolved issues\, north canopy and I think\, I I’ll pause at this point\, and I think\, headed to the Department to or to make a comment. \nrwassum: Thank you\, I think. Thank you for tonight. I think your comments\, your both concerns and direction\, are helpful as we move forward\, and we just look forward to the opportunity to work with staff to evolve it. So it’s something we’re all proud of when it’s \nrwassum: eventually implemented. \nrwassum: Thanks. \nrwassum: So I think the question\, the final question before us is whether we would want to see this again or not. And \nrwassum: my view is that we have provided several hours of excellence. Analysis by really top class people. And we’ve listened to really thoughtful calls from the community. \nrwassum: and I don’t think it would be productive for us to sit here again and have the same conversation. So I want to recommend that we that this now moves\, we don’t see it again. Although I would say \nrwassum: I would ask that the \nrwassum: South Arcade is basically taken out of this for now\, and reserved for the future \nrwassum: a. \nrwassum: For some years down the track to\, you know\, be able to deal with it then\, and you know\, if Staff at that time feels that it should come back for further review\, then you know\, we should see that when there’s more detail on stuff. But otherwise I’d say\, \nrwassum: please go ahead\, and I am personally very excited to see \nrwassum: some improvement to to the very building. I think this this will go a long way to accomplishing some\, you know\, really important outcomes. So \nrwassum: I think that’s the conclusion on this item. \nrwassum: Okay\, so there is a second item on the agenda for tonight\, which is the briefing on the San Francisco waterfront coastal flats\, study draft plan. \nrwassum: And should we move straight into it? Given the time? \nrwassum: Okay. \nrwassum: okay\, we’re back back online here and \nrwassum: lease is with Communications guide. And he’s gonna give us a quick run through with the flood study. Thank you very much for waiting us out here. So \nI think you can hear me. \nrwassum: Yeah. \nrwassum: thank you. We still have full Design View Board pretty much full. \nrwassum: advisory committee over here. And why don’t you take it away with a summary of what the Flex study is up to. \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: Thank you. Dan. Hello\, everyone. My name is Luis Barata. I’m a senior planner with the waterfront resource program\, and I think I I’m hearing some echo. \nrwassum: so we should. You can mute your \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: can. You hear me? Okay? So I will just go ahead and go through it. Well\, I wanna say thank you\, everybody for for having me here\, and so \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: I’m happy to see so many familiar faces\, and I’m sorry I could not be there in person. I had some family commitments\, but jump into the presentation. Let me share my screen. \nrwassum: Can you see it? \nrwassum: Alright. \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: So I’m gonna talk about the water the San Francisco waterfront residence program the the draft plan of the flood study that we have been working on \nand \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: you know\, what is this flood study? II think I assume that a lot of you are aware. But it is a study to analyze the coastal flood risk and the tax of slab or ice in the San Francisco waterfront\, along with the 7 and a half miles of the. So it extends from aquatic park on the northern side all the way to Harold’s Head Park on the southern end. So basically covers the base side of the of the city shoreline. \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: it is I still \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: it. It is a study to to address. You know\, Sila horizon and seismic risks. Right now\, the the estimated cost cost for this this project are adding up to 13.5 billion dollars in today’s value. And with this\, this study is a partnership with the undercups of engineer. \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: this partnership is very important\, because if the project gets approved by Congress the Federal Government will will pay up to 65% of those costs\, and the city is gonna have to come up with the other 35% of those costs. We are also working with in collaboration with other city agencies under the climate Asf umbrella. \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: including the office of resilience at capital planning. Mta. Public Works\, Poc and the San Francisco planning department \nrwassum: chair. \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: This graphic here shows \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: the areas that are sus susceptible to flooding by 2\,100. So we expect 2050 that up to 500 structures and city assets will be vulnerable to flooding. And by 2140 those damages can add up to 23 billion dollars. \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: They they do this scenario that is called the No action scenario to establish a baseline of costs for damages so that they can compare those costs with all the different alternatives that they’re proposing\, and see what? What is the to each one of those alternatives? \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: As many of you know. You know\, the services for line. A lot of data has been built in over Bayfield on the \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: using Baymad. And because of that\, a lot of that\, those areas are susceptible to British action. If you have a large earthquake. So this picture here shows some of those potential damages. \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: If you have an earthquake of a large scale\, and you can see some of the utilities infrastructure\, you know the sea wall. And of course both the the peers and the the works are at risk. You can see. Here’s on the right hand side some of those pictures from the 1906 earthquake. \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: and the the one on the bottom right is actually at the Mercadero. And you see that rupture. So if you have an earthquake that happens during the day at any given day\, we can have up to 40\,000 people at risk on pro property. For or earthquake events. \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: This is showing like where we are in the process. We have been doing this work since 2\,018 doing this general investigation last year we released 7 adoptation strategies. \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: We’ve been working with the army for 7 engineers\, and also visited agencies to come up with this square that was released at the end of January\, and we are in this 60 day. Public comment period that is part of the Nepa process. That we are\, you know\, reach out to the public doing a lot of community engagement workshops\, walking tours \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: and trying to get feedback from the public. The idea is that once we have additional public feedback. We are also working with them. They are doing further feasibility analysis. And we also are going. We are also working with the other further comments. \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: And so the idea is to come up with a final plan. By the end of the next year\, 2025 and seek Congressional approval by 2\,026 if the project gets approved\, we we start this the process of the construction engineering design and that is \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: you know\, expected to take place\, you know\, starting 2020\, 26 until 2030\, and construction is is expected to start by 2030. We. We hope those first actions will be implemented by 2140\, and this 30 is to cover \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: between 2140 and 2040 and 2140. \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: And so what is this plan? Is this trying to cover it is trying to cover where we’re going? Are we building them existing shoreline. Are we pushing Bay Ward? Are are you pulling inland? We also looking at how high? We are building defenses \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: that is in response to some of the the the projections\, but also also also to respond to the different conditions that we have along the shoreline across the the 7 and a half miles. \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: And also we are looking at how much space is going to take for us to to update those our lines. One of the comments that we heard from the public. And I think also from this body\, was that nobody wants to have a a wall\, you know\, walking the connection from the city to the bay. And so we are looking at this transition space where you’re gonna have to create this \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: grading additional grade from the new elevated program to the existing grade. This space is also is the area that we are expected to have those seismic fits along the shoreline. \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: and what is not being decided at this stage we are not deciding about the detail design for the full defenses. We are also not designing the waterfront streets or open spaces\, and all the infrastructure. This is a very high\, level plan. that is\, is looking at at the location of those line defenses. \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: But we we also not not going to have the timing of construction because we don’t have those detail designs. Yet. \nrwassum: Also\, the plan does not\, including a funding plan. So at this moment the city \nrwassum: it is going come up with the funding to match the 35% of the 65% Federal government funding \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: so this plan is not a redesign for the future of the other front and wanna plan from the other district or those. But one of the things that is plan is trying to do it is trying to tie in existing city projects that are already on going such as Mission Rock or the Bay Front Park along Terry Francois\, and is trying to tie in all those projects in a more cohesive \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: defensive strategy to protect the the city shoreline. \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: One of the things that we are very proud of this work is that is one of the first times that we have. A more robust\, comprehensive benefit analysis that is being included as part of this plan. The undercover engineers. Typically they\, they historically\, they have been taking into account only the national economic development which is dollar signs from the damages \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: in this case here there are also technical consideration\, economic impact\, including jobs\, environmental quality consequences and the compliance. But also we have taken into consideration the other social effects \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: that includes the disproportional disproportion affecting effects in our own. This disk here that you see on the right hand side shows some of those other social effects that have been taken into account and defining the discount\, and and the 100 years have metrics for each one of those effects. In order to compare different alternatives that have been looking at. \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: The plan. We are one of the people working. Some of those early problems are not part of this plan. Those are the funded by the \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: first actions. There will be implemented Harding. 2030 to defend against 1.5 to 3.5 feet of celebrity. \nrwassum: Those actions are going to be prioritized the planning fields are robust that are going to. \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: Are you guys hearing? Okay? Cause I’m hearing a lot of background noise. So I just wanna make sure that you can hear. \nrwassum: Yes\, we keep going then. \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: one of the things that is important is that is that this plan? This should be adaptable over time. So we wanna make sure that that this plan can he can. Address the adaptation over time to include higher levels of adaptation. Passing beyond the the 7 feet \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: 7 feet of silver ice projections \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: this graph here shows\, in a very summarized way\, the what is the draft plan? So you see this orange line? Band across the the waterfront that extends from \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: Herons Head Park all the way through Pier 27\, or Telegraph Hill. More or less. \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: It is the area that we are proposing to elevate the shoreline and doing such a retrofit along the shoreline. \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: there is as I mentioned\, the the panic extends all the to the area as well as in Baccadero. We are proposing to improve some of the peers and and some of the select buildings \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: a along the area we are proposing to delegate some of the historic communities in the world. And I have some graphics that shows in more detail how that is gonna happen. \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: And across the entire area\, we are trying to as much as much as possible some of those nature based solutions. \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: another thing that that we are going to that is proposing is to propose a waterfront. Wide storm water management adaptation\, because elevated\, the shoreline is gonna increase the bathtub effect of\, you know\, trapping water that is trying to reach the bay. So management is gonna be pumping is gonna be needed. And it’s gonna have to be increased. \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: Both pumping storage systems\, and and also storm water management\, you know\, through Greenway infrastructure. That is something that the the pen is considering. \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: So we will take a closer look at each one of those reaches. The planet is divided in 4 reaches the first reach. Here the Fisherman’s wharf \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: in general this area has. A. \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: It has a higher \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: ground. You see this dashed line\, and so the plan is proposing a lighter touch here in terms of what is proposing. \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: So it is looking at footproofing. So those buildings along water sage and add those short walls around the piers. The idea here that those short walls will extend the last 10 of those piers until the port and the and the tenants and the the city. We can figure out what\, how we’re going to\, how we’re going to adapt those those peers in the future. \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: So some of the subsequent actions that are have been identified here are\, includes the shoreline\, the works\, and the historic buildings with. So some of the seismic improvements. And of course defend the utility and the transportation networks. \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: This graphic here shows \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: what do we mean by so happen can happen in several different ways\, you know. \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: it could be happened by sealing some of those openings at the the lower levels. You know those and and bars. It could include also\, you know\, elevating some of the transformers\, or some of the more critical infrastructure of the building? And but one of the things that that the plan is proposing to add those short walls on the piers\, and that is to protect against\, you know\, wave action and and gain some time. Extend the life span the lifespan of those those peers \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: for them. Barcadero. Area. This is an area that we it is the depending\, identified as with a lot of critical city infrastructure. And this is it is an area that has some of the lower elevations along the line and therefore it is more at risk. \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: So the the plan is proposing here to elevate to defend against 3.5 feet of celebrity\, all in one step in the in the first actions and that is to minimize disruption. due to construction. \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: in this area\, we also find some of the buildings along the walls so the bulk bulkhead of the buildings\, and and some of the historical infrastructure\, including the ferry building. \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: And I have a graphic that shows in more detail how that how that would work in this area\, we also adding\, the short walls around the piers\, so the piers themselves\, they will stay at their existing height. They will just receive those short walls to extend their lifespan. \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: So in this area\, we\, the plan\, has identified any subsequent connection since the the first action here is already elevated through the fan against 3.5 feet of level rise \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: this graph here shows how we would elevate some of those worms and and bulkheads of the buildings. So that is showing here in the in this red color the areas that are being elevated\, the peers themselves. They will stay at the existing height\, and and they will receive those short walls around them. So you’re gonna have to create positional space between the bulkheads of the buildings and the piers themselves. \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: Looking back towards back towards the city. Will create that transition to space\, you know. And there could be terrorists or \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: have a grad grad gradual Transition Office of this grading that to meet the existing city grade\, and that is the area that we will receive. The seismic retrofit \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: in South Beach and Mission Bay reach. This is the the third reach this is an area that depend identified\, that we have in general\, we have a little bit of more space. So the pen is proposing to have a more international route. \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: and and that is to elevate the shoreline\, to defend against 1.5 feet of sliverize and that can be a a doctor in in the future. So you see here\, in this orange don’t color the areas that have been proposed for to elevate the shoreline with some of those brown improvements. \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: The the planning within 5 areas where we could apply some of the nature based solutions. So you see in green areas marks here. You know. \nrwassum: towards the south\, and also along the the shorelines of the creek \nrwassum: for the the bridges in this area. Mission\, the Mission creek\, the bridges. Will \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: you remain at existing height? For the for doing this first actions. \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: and they will receive those closure deploy voice structures that will be deployed. when we have storm events. \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: and I have a graphic that will explain a little bit more how that could work. \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: You see\, also\, seeing in the grease this bray area. The. So the areas that are not part of the this project such as the the Mission Rock and the the Bay Front Park along Mission Bay\, and that is so. But the plan here is to tie back in the this proposal with the existing mitigation measures that those projects are already. Including \nrwassum: this. \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: the the peers along those along these areas is also will receive some of those short walls. And also to extend the the lifespan of the the peer of the peers. \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: This graph here shows how those closure of the bridges could happen. \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: You know\, once you relocate the the shoreline of the creeks the if the bridges stay at the existing heights\, they they they offer a risk\, because the water can sip through the bridges. So the idea here is to have this deployable. There will be deployed\, and we have stormwater events and and high tides. \nrwassum: and it is anticipated that that those \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: those bridges will have to be closed very frequent less than once a year for the first decades of the project over time the frequency and the intensity is is going to increase. And and eventually those bridges are gonna have to be elevated. \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: Oh\, sorry! And I forgot to mention one thing here in Mission Bay. So some of the subsequent connections are \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: that we identified are to elevate the short line\, to withstand 3.4 kilos and and potentially add more nature based solutions. \nrwassum: Here. So this is the last. \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: the last reach that we have with the is less quickly view. This is also an area that we haven’tified\, that has a a a little bit of more space. So we also approach 1.5 feet of lever eyes there is in orange. that we are proposing. The peers around the pier. 80 and Pier 96. We also receive those short walls and some of the petrol fits \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: along the creek. We are proposing some of the solutions\, particularly west of the Thirst Bridge and \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: and also closer to the mouth of the the tree. \nrwassum: and a long warm water. \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: And the southern edge of the creek here in in red\, we are proposing to continue those operations that the port has over there. The Third Street Bridge here. Is not part of this plan\, because the public works is already working on on elevating that that bridge. \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: But the even Illinois Street Bridge will receive those deploy deployable paper disposal structures. Similar to what the ones that are being deposited at John Creek. \nrwassum: And let’s see \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: So this is showing some of how those some of those solutions can be applied\, and the idea is that \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: is that those elevated short lines with natural burns can be part of the open space open space systems so they can include trails\, you know bike paths. promenades in in order to \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: also provide also needed benefits to the. \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: to the neighborhoods. \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: So just to finalize \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: the way that we are looking is\, it is our once in a century opportunity to defend the the communities and the assets including the solve\, those vital city infrastructure. \nrwassum: And \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: and why we can address some of the those seismic re risks. Improve that safety we. We can also see\, this is an opportunity to secure funding with collaboration with the Federal Government and invest in a great public waterfront. That we can\, where we can add some of those nature based solutions and adapt some of the historic resources to climate change. \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: As I mentioned\, this is the last slide. As I mentioned this. We are in the public period comics. So we we have done \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: a lot of public outreach we just had \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: last week before last we had. we have been. We also offer walking tours to make as possible for the public to make comments. We have updated our website\, we added a lot of information on our website\, including story maps. We also there is\, that people can watch at their own time. \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: And we have really reach out to all the different cbo’s and also going to bodies of decision makers in the city such as this one also\, we we go on to the entire Conservation Commission. we are \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: We are going to the planning commission this week. \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: We are. We are going to empty board and the board supervisors and I’ll I believe also\, you see\, Board\, we are going there as well. So we’re trying to to cover as as much as possible this very short time and try to get feedback from from the community. \nrwassum: So with that. And thank you very much. Thank you\, Louise. That’s that’s a lot to present. But we appreciate your hanging around for. And so it’s just to get this straight. The you’re officially taking comments on the Army Chorus. Let’s study plan through the end of this month. \nrwassum: And tonight’s presentation was kind of a primer to let you know what’s going on with study. This is a very design based pair of groups. And this is not a design plan\, but it’s getting you ready\, for when these projects come through is a lot of what it’s about. But now we have. Now we can take some comments and see if we can address those even have an expert back here studies. And Bob Kelly. \nrwassum: can I? Yes\, please \nquestion \nrwassum: finally\, some engineering to talk about. \nrwassum: yeah\, this is really interesting and fascinating. I agree it is an opportunity. 1 one thought that occurs to me. \nrwassum: which you know is\, is\, you know\, I have to admit is is from a person that’s not in the room. So this may seem off the wall\, but it would seem to me that there should be opportunity to \nrwassum: realign the Short Line a bit\, and maybe have some natural areas that service buffers and transitions\, and not just wall off the waterfront\, which II know you have some edging. \nrwassum: some green edging. \nrwassum: but I think\, especially in the southern part of the waterfront. I think not sure port operations\, Guy\, but down around here\, instead\, I thought there might be some spaces there that \nrwassum: could be converted into wetlands or beaches\, or \nrwassum: and so the more natural shoreline is what I’m hearing there more natural solutions. And\, interestingly\, I know they’ve gotten a number of comments along that line\, and they’re looking at some options even in the central waterfront\, for how that could be consistent with some what I’ve grouped so far. Thank you\, Dan. And and I think aquatic part. Also there’s a beach there. And and so there’s other places where you might have some opportunities. \nrwassum: the problem with natural infrastructure that a lot of folks that haven’t actually been involved in design of that may not realize is that it takes space. \nrwassum: And this design is really kind of an edging. \nrwassum: And so I think\, fundamentally my point is. \nrwassum: it would be nice if you could go inland a little bit and not be \nrwassum: stuck with the existing shoreline\, which is somewhat arbitrary\, given\, you know\, relative to modern conditions and future conditions. \nrwassum: and uses\, etc. \nrwassum: Secondly\, I think the \nrwassum: project should be reviewed by the Engineering Criteria Review Board of Dcd. \nrwassum: Which I happen to be on. But there\, there are other people that I think are would have more valuable input. Geo\, technical seismic \nrwassum: and Geo structural structural. \nrwassum: So those are my comments. That’s great. Great. Thank you. \nrwassum: I don’t. I don’t know if you wanted to respond \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: to support \nrwassum: Louise. Let’s get through a couple of more questions here. First. Okay? No problem. \nrwassum: I was phone and could just scoop to wait in. On the design side. The core of engineers is known to be pretty much by the books. At least\, that’s what their primary purposes \nrwassum: there are exceptions to the rule. I like to quote the San Antonio corridor\, my first project actually\, I was involved in there. We challenge the quote engineer in a very significant way. \nrwassum: and we came up not with only the improvement of the Web Walk\, which is a public works project\, but how to extend the entire cross section over Wibblewobg walk from Flour Mill all the way to the very north. \nrwassum: That is a type of challenge I believe we have here\, and I believe\, picking up on what you said\, we should actively look at every aspect of port property\, and this tremendous amount of group that over the decades\, has gone into creating a fabulous reappointed shoreline\, and make sure that we can save it by doing other things to it. \nrwassum: That may either mean moving the line further in\, or finding different cross sections by which we meet different conditions and do different\, very public ways. I think it’s a great urban design project\, and I would encourage every landscape\, architect\, architect\, and engineer to roll up the sleeves and help support\, not to oppose them\, but helps them to do a better job than what they normally do. \nrwassum: And II strongly encourage participation. Could I follow up on that real quickly? \nrwassum: Sorry I’ll be. I’ll be brief. we’re in a good spot here in the San Francisco Bay area\, both with the San Francisco District Army Corps of engineers pretty flexible and innovative. \nrwassum: But yeah\, it’s not gonna happen unless people push\, because there’s millions of reasons. maybe a billion or $2. Why? It won’t happen. \nrwassum: So yeah\, people really have to push and have vision \nrwassum: beyond the existing lines. I think so. I really appreciate what what you said. \nrwassum: Others wanna comment on the presentation or where it’s going. \nrwassum: I mean\, for what is worth. I have to say that this is a very succinct and clear presentation for something that is \nrwassum: very difficult to explain. So II would like to recognize that this is pretty. \nrwassum: I’m encouraged by the fact that they have this whole \ncircle other benefits to be considered in the equation. \nrwassum: I would be looking forward to understanding how they applied to this different interventions the different color coded solutions. Because that’s actually what \nrwassum: I mean. I think the reason you mentioned it in the presentation that our record tends to just look at our numbers\, and \nrwassum: you know\, dollars\, and in this case\, having to add that other components\, I think it’s gonna be the super big challenge. But I’m encouraged by seeing that as part of the foundation of this work. So right \nrwassum: team is listening and taking notes. \nrwassum: Could I say something? \nrwassum: Also talk\, please\, about the fact that the challenge is not just the San Francisco Bay edge. There is a requirement for integration with other measures all along the bay that sets other constraints. I do not know exactly what they are\, but we should be aware of them if we choose\, or ultimately decide to be actively involved in it. Could you briefly explain that? \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: Yes\, yes\, so \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: so yes\, it. It is correct. And and one of the things one of the comments that we received now when we like last year\, when we went to the community is\, you know\, people are concerned about what’s happening. You know\, Southern Southern of the the House Head Park. That was among the comments that we received. \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: you know in our project is is limited by the geography of the port on on the southern edge. We\, we have those development agreements. Both the the Bayview hunters Point and Kendall Stick point that they are \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: have their own set of or mitigation measures trying to address the\, the\, the sliverize \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: one of the things that we identify there. There is an area of the Yosemite Slue that is\, not that it was not. They didn’t have any planning for that part part of the of the city. And so we worked with the with the planning department. They got a grant\, and they are starting that work right now. \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: But yes\, but that is only talking about San Francisco. Right? So there is a need to \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: to have more coordination. \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: you know\, across the bay with the other efforts. And and we we have been\, you know. \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: God. \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: in conversations with Bcd. C. You know I’m a part of one of the Dcdc. Subgroups on equity. Adam Varad\, who is the the deputy director. He’s also part of the BC DC\, coordination effort. So we are looking at how? How this plan can \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: can not only can only like\, inform what’s gonna happen here\, but also maybe provide ideas for what other jurisdictions can do\, and and also \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: talk to people about ways to work with the army cops of engineers. Because this is a lot of this is very new. To the army cops of engineers as well. So we are kind of like. \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: you know\, creating that path of of collaboration. And and one another thing that II didn’t mention in this presentation that \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: anything that is above and beyond what the army corps of engineers approve or the Co. The Congress approve\, that is\, on the Army Corps of engineers plan. The city can still do it. It’s just that the city is gonna have to come up with all the the funding for that. So what we’re trying to do is to leverage\, you know\, the maximum amount of dollars\, so we can try to bring the most amount of community benefits for the city. \nrwassum: Thank you\, Louise Kristen. Yeah\, I just had a question for Louise on. I know at least \nrwassum: I think 3\, if not 4 of the locations on our San Francisco waterfront. We’re studied by resilient by design. And I was wondering if that work needed into the \nrwassum: study and how it informed the \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: yeah. So so that was looked at the the area of the this. This list creek? because that we had a team working there there was looked at. I think \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: you know. when \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: back. Then\, when you start to look at these different alternatives\, I think\, inform some of those strategies that we had that in included a whole lot more of a retreat areas. One of the things that we we heard from the community\, and through this process of of looking at the equity as as one of the components is that you know that \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: retreating that area\, it seems to be not recommended\, because all the the equity impacts both on \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: you know the community\, but also the loss of jobs. And and you know\, loss of of affordable industrial light industrial space. So a lot of the those things were looked at. But they end up being vetted in the in the process of of coming to this plan \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: we are still there is still providing there is some areas that are identified as possible. Retreat. moving forward. And this is also something that you know we are working with the agencies. And and see if you can. Still\, push for those ideas forward. But but it is. It is complicated. Because yes\, again\, you know it\, it takes a lot of space and has impacts on economic impacts on on the on the some of the. \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: you know the social infrastructure. \nrwassum: Thank you for that explanation. I also just want to say I don’t know how everybody else feels\, but looking at this plan. \nrwassum: it it’s very sad that we would be having all of these \nrwassum: walls and levies along the waterfront that we’ve been working so hard. A lot of you have been on this. I have\, but we’ve been working so hard to create this access to\, and I lived in New Orleans for a number of years\, and it’s a city that’s very confusing about where the water is. You can’t see it anywhere\, cause there’s always levy. So II you know\, I know that this is a very complex \nrwassum: topic\, and there’s a lot of brilliant minds working on it who have taken a lot into consideration. But I just want to say that I think that if we ended up with a plan where we’re raising \nrwassum: pretty much all of San Francisco’s waterfront\, so that we can’t really see it \nrwassum: or easily get to it. I really think that’s a poor outcome. And on on the Pcc. Side of the table over here. I would just encourage \nrwassum: the Commission to be exploring more ideas about changing the shape of the shoreline\, and some of the ideas that Bob was talking about and re looking at our policies so that we can. This is not \nrwassum: we\, the policy of no more fills was a response to a moment in time. And we’re now at a new moment in time\, and we need a new policy response\, and so I don’t know what the proper channels are\, whatever to say this\, but I think it’s an important conversation to be having \nrwassum: at the question. \nrwassum: and I can assure you\, being part of the ports I’m trying to review on this maintaining a relationship of the city to the bay\, being able to see that\, being able to observe that they\, making that a part of the experience is a high priority of the team. \nrwassum: putting this together and showing all options. How that continue to occur to avoid that wall \nrwassum: against one. Subsequent actions are between 3 and 7\, \nand a lot of the moves are to construct a 3 and a half with adaptability. 7. \nrwassum: Is there? Is there a year that is estimated to correspond to the 7 that you’re working towards? \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: So that’ll be at the end of the century. \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: Yeah\, like 20 beyond 2\,100. \nrwassum: Luis\, do you want to acknowledge the monitoring\, though. that you mentioned? \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: I’m sorry \nrwassum: the the kind of monitoring that happens in between. And sorry. I\, Laura\, working. Say\, Lab is also working on the the Wrp program. \nrwassum: You wanna mention the kind of monitoring that comes in \nrwassum: in between the short they have near actions. \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: Yes\, the the monitoring. you know. It starts\, you know\, from from the beginning of of \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: off from the for those those first actions you know\, between that is the defending between 1.5 and 3.5\, and depending on that monitoring that is\, gonna define those those subsequent actions that is. \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: you know\, could be potentially from \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: defending from 3.5 all the way up to 7. you know it. There’s a lot of uncertainty in terms of of the curves that we are that the pennies range should be\, you know\, as flexible. And that’s the way as possible over time. \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: it is. \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: it is\, you know\, trying to cover between 2040 and 2140 but again\, I think\, I think because there is so much uncertainty\, we are trying to move away from from giving a specific dates of saying\, you know. \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: by by this time we’re gonna have this amount of celebrity\, because we don’t know. \nrwassum: So \nrwassum: you know\, the reason I asked is because by the time any significant portion of this is implemented\, you know\, 2\,100 won’t look like it’s that far away. And so when you talk about levies. You talk about pumping. \nrwassum: It doesn’t end in 2\,100 like 2\,100. The problem solved. It just means nobody in this room is alive. But \nyou know it’s committing the city to endless pumping and \nrwassum: levy raising\, and \nrwassum: I thought the ferry building was a difficult problem. You know\, I don’t know where all this we’re all this leads\, and we’re all that money comes from. It sounds like the the funding is tied to engineering solutions\, I mean\, can you use Federal money for \nrwassum: manager tree\, or or it’s only when that money is being used by \nrwassum: the army corps\, and therefore you only get army corps. So the funding is tied to solutions that and they’re all engineering solutions. Some of them are software itself harder. \nrwassum: And if there’s determined to be a Federal interest. In other words\, that there’s more to save than spent. The fence will finance 65\, and then\, locally. \nrwassum: we’re required to come up with 35%. So there’s a it’s going to be a pick and chooses to which ones go forward\, and \nrwassum: where that 35 comes from is not identified\, I think\, for people that have ideas. But that’s why this is going to be a long running project here\, or \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: yes\, but II try to that then. The army corps is is much more open to nature based solutions today. From where they were maybe 2 years ago. \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: I think you know. And this plan is\, it is we are \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: trying to add as much and \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: as much as possible of those nature based solutions. And you know\, I think retreating is\, it’s it’s it’s a little bit more complicated. That we are. Gonna have to to keep. Have those conversations. But \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: but but yeah\, but it is. It is something that we are trying to achieve \nrwassum: any other questions in the room here. \nrwassum: I still have a question. I’ll try to phrase this as a question. \nrwassum: Louise. Thank you very much for that presentation. It’s great to see you. \nrwassum: I have a question about \nrwassum: the the Board’s role. In commenting on or influencing or reviewing this plan? Moving forward. \nrwassum: And then I guess the related question to that is\, the \nrwassum: is\, maybe some more information about how the port is working with with the city. \nrwassum: Particularly where these issues of adjacency. \nrwassum: and land are constrained \nrwassum: and through what that process looks like\, and I think I would assume that that is also a place where. there aren’t a lot of good precedents for that. And so this sort of relationship building that leads to implementation is after ground breaking. Please\, could you comment on either one of those. \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: Yeah\, no\, I think I think that \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: the way that we see you know we see the BCC. As partner of of on this on this effort\, and so we have presented to to a group of at Bcd. We got we we also got comments from them. You know\, from you\, but like from\, you know\, different people at BCC. And \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: you know we are \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: one of the things that we are. We are. \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: We are \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: working on is it? Is to get coordination between the city agencies\, city agencies. So we can have like a city ladder\, that is gonna inform you know what is the the city’s position on this plan? Because it’s not only the port it’s has all the the\, you know\, all the different agencies. \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: I think. \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: moving forward\, II \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: I believe you’re gonna we’re gonna keep coming back to you. To to provide an update whenever we have those milestones? And and get comments and and see if we can. \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: and see if you can address those comments as we move along. That’s my. that’s my personal opinion. But II don’t know exactly if there is. \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: If you need to establish like a mechanism of meeting frequently\, or have like a small sub group. That is \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: part of that that I don’t know \nrwassum: works with the different agencies. Mta\, public works. Poc city planning right now. Our consultant advise throughout this process coordinating comments on the flip study responses as well\, so that one \nrwassum: thank you. \nrwassum: The one thing that \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: the only thing I was gonna add is that we are lucky to have a great team of consultants\, and some of the consultants are\, are\, you know\, part of this body. So it’s but \nrwassum: from these species perspective\, I think they’re mostly coordinating with our planning division and not the regulatory. But when we start seeing actual projects that are impacting permits and then constructed. \nrwassum: that is\, when we start bringing it to the Board project related. \nrwassum: I think the the the fear in my mind is \nrwassum: is that the the levy is a project that is a reviewable stage where decisions about the constraints around that levy have already been determined. \nrwassum: And so like a nature based solution or \nrwassum: a a different kind of approach becomes outside the purview of our role in trying to guarantee public access. \nHey? Just also\, some combination of the 3 of us have been participating in the regulatory advisor working group \nrwassum: with the part of San Francisco and the army corps. We are currently also reviewing the \nrwassum: The name of a document is a \nLuiz Barata (he/him) | Port of San Francisco: thinking right now I can kind of find what the document is that we’re reviewing it. \nrwassum: Yeah\, yes. \nrwassum: On the yeah. Yeah. So we’re involved. And then I think we’ve also \nrwassum: we’ll be having a briefing at an upcoming commission meeting for the Commissioners. \nand we have to kind of continue trying to figure out how to \nrwassum: thank you. I’m not gonna do\, Ashley\, but we can \nthank you. \nrwassum: We have one remaining item this evening\, and that is to close in memory of partial item. We need someone to make motion in her honor to do so. \nrwassum: I’ll make a motion to closing your honor so moved \nrwassum: all in favor of closing in honor of the late\, I see unanimous. Thank you very much. \nrwassum: Thank you\, Lucy. Yeah\, thanks. \n \n \n \n \n \n Learn How to Participate\n Bagley-Keene Open Meeting Act\nAs a state agency\, the Commission is governed by the Bagley-Keene Open Meeting Act which requires the Commission to: (1) publish an agenda at least ten days in advance of any meeting; and (2) describe specifically in that agenda the items to be transacted or discussed.

The proposed De-Pave Park Project is one in a series of waterfront public spaces surrounding the three sides of the Seaplane Lagoon in Alameda. The Project would involve creating an urban ecological park by removing much of the site’s existing World War II-era concrete runway spaces and onsite buildings; repurposing remaining materials for public access areas and amenities; and establishing new tidal wetlands\, a pilot eelgrass restoration area\, and other native habitats appropriate for San Francisco Bay. The project intends to maximize re-use of on-site materials and design the park as a model for open space and habitat restoration areas that can be adapted to sea level rise over time.(Schuyler Olsson) [415/352-3668; schuyler.olsson@bcdc.ca.gov]Exhibits\n1301 Shoreway Life Sciences Development Project\, City of Belmont\, San Mateo County; Second Pre-Application ReviewThe Design Review Board will hold its second pre-application review of the proposal by Four Corners Properties to redevelop a 6.91-acre site with a life sciences campus at 1301 Shoreway Road in the City of Belmont\, San Mateo County. The project proposes to demolish the existing four-story office building on site and construct two 7- to 8-level office/R&D buildings and a 9-level parking garage. The project proposes both on-site and off-site public access improvements\, including constructing a new sidewalk along Sem Lane to provide public access from Shoreway Road to the shoreline\, widening the Belmont Creek Trail\, and refreshing the landscape with seating areas and trail serving amenities.(Shruti Sinha) [415/352-3654; shruti.sinha@bcdc.ca.gov]Exhibits\nAdjournment\n\n \n \n \n \n \n Meeting Summary\n January 8\, 2024 meeting summary \n \n \n \n \n \n Audio Recording & Transcript\n \nJanuary 8\, 2024 meeting video \n  \nThank you for joining us tonight for the BCDC Design Review Board meeting.

Threats made directly or indirectly and or abusive language. \nWe will mute anyone who fails to follow those guidelines or who exceeds the established time limits without permission. \nIf you are attending the meeting on the Zoom Platform\, we recommend using the Gallery View option in view in view settings in order to see all the panelists. \nAudio for in-person panelists is recorded through the rooms audio system and is not synced in to the individual panelist videos. \nIf you would like to add your contact information to the interested parties list to be notified of future meetings concerning these projects\, please call or email Ashley Tomlin who is right there\, Ashley. \nAnd Ashley’s contact information is on screen or is found on the BCdc’s website. \nFinally\, every now and then you will hear me refer to the meeting host\, Yuri. And your use\, what about BCDC staff and is acting as a host for the meeting behind the scenes to ensure that the technology moves the meeting forward smoothly and consistently. \nPlease be patient with us if it’s needed. So we’ll move to item 2 now\, which is approval of the meeting summaries for number\, November sixth\, 2\,023 in December eleventh\, 2023. \nAnd board members we’ve all been furnished the draft summaries for those 2 meetings I’m just going to remind you\, we might just approve these individually. \nSo the November sixth BCDC meeting. We had the following people present. Bob was here\, Bob Balio\, Kristen Hall\, Tom Leader\, Gary Strang and Stefan were were here. \nAnd we were. Reviewing the 1499 bash project that was the first pre-application review. \nAre there any comments? From anyone? I do not have any comments. Any other comments from anyone? \nI have actually have a couple of comments. It’s just clarifying language\, page 8. \nUnder item 4\, emergency vehicle access and terminus of the public trail. Some point 2. \nI just the wording in the paragraph is not particularly clear and it may have been my expression\, but I would like to just clarify it. \nSo Ashley\, I’ve rewritten the paragraph and I’ll can give it to you afterwards but I’m proposing it be changed to say Jacinda McCann observes that the terminus of the trail is a dead end and that is it is unlikely that people will walk to the end is currently proposed. \nPositioning public art in the end could potentially encourage people. Improvements to the hammerhead configuration could also assist in making this section of the trail more appealing. \nIt would also help if staff could clarify if there’s any potential for the trail to continue beyond the site in the future. \nSo it’s just cleaning up that paragraph so you can refer to that. \nAnd I wanted to clarify on page 9 and Kristen isn’t with us tonight\, but under sub point 2\, the second paragraph below the top of the page. \nIt’s a Kristen Hall was talking at this point. She says it’s beautiful space and will be a nice respite. \nAnd then the second sentence says excited about the possible road diet. And I think that needs to be changed to something else. \nAnd I could not remember what that would be\, but maybe someone could go back and just cross check that and clarify what that is. \nAnd then . The \nI think that was it. Yeah\, that was it. So with those 2 changes\, is everyone okay with the? \nWith the adjustments to the minutes\, for these meeting notes for the November 6 meeting. \nI’ll make a motion to approve. Second. Bye. Okay\, the next meetings were meeting summary was the December eleventh summary. \nAnd people present there was myself\, Bob Batalio\, Kristen Hall\, Gary Strang\, and Steph. \nAnd we were reviewing. It was just last month\, so. It was the first review of the\, \nWindrover project\, which\, excuse me\, it was technically the second review. Even though it felt like the first review. \nCorrect. And at the end it says we moving to the third review\, which I will just reconfirm is correct. \nRight. And\, \nYeah. There was just a minor improvement in. Language. I can pass these through to you. \nThey’re not substantial\, just a couple of minor clarifications but with Just the bottom\, sentence\, on page 6 site entrances\, sub point one\, final centers\, it would be helpful to have more context shown for the concept plan and a clearer illustration of the connections\, being made on site and off site. \nAnd the final sentence there starts struggling to determine to just change that to it is difficult to determine at this stage whether \nAnd there’s a repeat of a sentence on page 8\, some point 3. Just send him a CAD suggested incorporating playful elements\, if we could just strike that sentence\, which is a repeat of a sentence in the previous paragraph. \nSo we don’t need\, it will be a very desirable place for families. So with those changes\, any other changes that anyone has? \nOkay. Motion to approve. The commotion to approve. \nHi. \nOkay\, all in favor? I. Okay\, thank you. Good. \nLet’s move to item 3\, staff update. \nThank you\, Chair McCann. Congratulations to Tom and Leo on the soon to open public access at 3\,500 Marina in Brisbane. \nThe project last came to the board in September\, 2\,018 and includes approximately 1\,100 linear feet of bay trail and shoreline spaces and then approximately a hundred 1\,000 square foot public access area on the podium level. \nThe project will also be constructing an approximately 700 linear foot pay trail around the neighboring parcel that will complete the Bay Trail loop around the Sierra Point Peninsula. \nI wanted to update the board on a few changes in laws and policies related to member participation. I will send out a summary of these changes. \nFirst\, BCDC has an updated policy regarding the role DRB members may play as consultants to permit applicants. \nBoard members are no longer allowed to represent permit applicants before the commission or a BCDC advisory board. \nBoard members who have been recused for assisting permit applicants are not allowed to speak in front of the board while being paid by the applicant. \nAnd this is to present as well as for answering questions. Recused board members may attend meetings in person or remotely as a member of the public. \nA board member may speak as a member of the public as long as they are not being compensated by the applicant. \nDo board members have any questions? \nI don’t have any questions on that. I don’t think we have any questions. Tom\, any questions? \nWell\, I remember there was confusion on this project you’re looking at whether I can represent the the applicant or not. \nAnd I decided I better not because I wasn’t sure nobody seemed sure but now it’s it’s clear. \nThat on this project I would not be able to present. Speak in front of BCDC or a commission or anything like that. \nYou are correct. Actually\, just to be very clear because Tom\, I recall that. Does it apply to any member of the firm that the African has or just the individual. \nIt is just the individual. So\, for instance\, with 1301 shoreway\, the project going second tonight. \nAn ECRB member had spoken and answered questions during the last DRB meeting related to the levy or the shoreline protection. \nB he would not be able to answer questions in front of the design review board\, but a member of Moffat and Nicole could. \nI see. Okay\, thank you. Alright. Second for law and policies update as of January one and through 2\,025 board members may attend and participate in meetings remotely staff are required to notice remote attendance at least 24 h in advance of the meeting via email and on the website notice. \nAnd we do not need to include the remote location. I believe our preference will remain to be in person or to have in person attendance\, but we do now have flexibility for your participation. \nAre there any questions? \nVery clear. \nFinally\, the DRB meeting dates have been set for 2024 and are posted on the BCC website. \nThe February meetings canceled and our next meeting is planned for March eleventh and will be the second review of the proposed very building and plaza renovations. \nAnd that concludes the BCDC staff update. I’ll pause if there’s any other questions from the board. \nWell\, thanks\, Ashley. And\, again\, congratulations\, Tom\, on seeing your project. \nCompleted and contributing to the continuation of the Bay Trail. It’s a very important project. \nSo well done. I don’t have any other questions. It’s good to get the policy updates out clearly. \nSo thank you for that. Any other questions from the board? \nHearing none\, I think we’ll move on. Okay\, so. \nWe will also just move now to public comment for items. Not on tonight’s agenda. So we’ll start with those members of the public in our headquarters building here today. \nIf anyone has a comment on on something that is not on tonight’s agenda form a line near the podium to make a public comment. \nAnd if you’re attending online\, it would like to make a public comment. Raise your hand to speak as previously notified. \nIs there anyone who wants to make a public comment? \nOkay. \nThere’s no hands raised online. Okay\, thank you very much. So no public comment for items not on tonight’s agenda. \nSo we’ll move to item 5\, which is the first review of the Depave Park project in Alameda\, Alameda County. \nAnd I’ll just remind you of the project order that we follow for these reviews. So we start with the BCDC staff introduction. \nWe then move to the project proponent presentation. We then have both clarifying questions\, which are between the proponent and the board. \nIt’s not a time for discussion but question and answer then we move to public comment and then we have full discussion and summary which is the dialogue between the board and then following that the project proponent can make a brief response as desired. \nSo we’ll follow that. Permit and so with that the BCDC permit analyst Scholar Olson will introduce the project. \nSo thanks\, Ga. Go ahead. \nThank you\, Chair Macken. I’m just gonna share my screen here. \nAlright\, good evening to the design review board members\, the project team\, my members of the public. My name is Skylar Olsen and I’m a senior environmental scientist at BCC. \nI’m happy to introduce the project for tonight’s review\, the DPA Park project in Alameda proposed by the City of Alameda. \nThis product has received Measure AA funding from the San Francisco Bay Restoration Authority and is a bay restoration regulatory integration team or Brit project. \nTonight will be the board’s first pre application design review of the project. I’ll start with a brief introduction to the project before the applicants present the project in greater detail. \nBefore we discuss the project\, we’d like to begin by acknowledging that the project side is located on. \nArtificially filled land. It was historically shallow water habitat within the traditional indigenous homelands at the outline people. \nWe offer gratitude to the indigenous peoples who are the original storage of the down to phone natural resources of the Bay Area. \nThis slide shows the location and vicinity of the proposed project site. The approximately 21 acre . \nPay Park project side is located in along San Francisco Bay at the western end of Alameda. It’s on\, it’s on property owned by the city of Alameda\, within the central. \nArea southern and central area of the larger former Naval Air Station\, Alameda site\, commonly referred to now as Alameda Point. \nIt’s bounded to the east by sea playing Lagoon to the south by San Francisco Bay. \nTo the west by wetlands owned by the US Department of Veterans Affairs and to the north and east by sea plain lagoon promenade a public area. \nRunning along the north side of. See Plain Lagoon. \nAs shown in this image from BCdc’s community. Vulnerability\, mapping tool. The project sites. \nIs located within an area with high social vulnerability based on a range of vulnerability indicators. This area also has a high contamination vulnerability based on Call them viral screen. \nWhat does a statewide pollution vulnerability assessment? The project proponents will talk more about how local communities have been engaged in their project design. \nAnd how the design has evolved. Accordingly. \nThis slide shows the project site as it relates to other BCDC required public access areas. \nAlong the seaplane Lagoon shoreline. The city and its presentation will go into greater detail. \nAbout the Limited Point precise plan. And what is planned for the greater. See playing the goon area. \nCurrently the project site shown on the left of the screen is open to the public\, but it’s not improved for public access. \nAnd the purple lines in the map show approximate locations of existing BCDC required. Public access. \nSo the first permit shown here. . 1998 that o 3 6 required public access to London northern side of sea play in the goon in association with the Alameda Antiques and Collectables Fair. \nBut this public access is no longer in effect as the fair is no longer operating at the site. However\, this area It’s still open to the public\, but mostly unimproved for public access\, except the portion on the right\, which I’ll talk about next. \nSo permit number\, 2017 dot o one issue to the city of Alameda and that’s me to point partners. \nRequires an approximately 2.5 acre. Al Lima Point Waterfront Park. And associated amenities. \nAt the northeast corner of Sea Plain\, Lagoon. I’m\, 2018 dot o 2 5 also issue to the city\, requires an approximately 2 acre public access area on the eastern shoreline of sea playing lagoon in connection with the seaplane\, the groom ferry terminal. \nFinally\, permits\, and\, 1\,900\, and 96\, dot\, o\, 2\, 6\, issue to Nelson’s marine requires an approximately 8 700 square foot area at the southeast corner. \nOf the lagoon in connection with authorized construction of various marine. Facilities. \nI’ll now show you the sea level rise vulnerability for the site based on BCdc’s\, Bay Area flood explorer. \nIt’s important to know that this represents the vulnerability of the existing site without the changes that will be associated with the proposed project. \nThe product team will later show figures demonstrating the sea level rise\, resilience of the site if the proposed project were implemented\, as well as potential future adaptation measures. \nSo this image shows the funding that would occur with a total water level. That is 2 feet above the current mean higher high water. \nSuch a water level could under\, could occur under a range of scenarios such as No sea level rise plus a 10 year storm surge. \nOr one feet of one for sea level rise plus a king tide or 2 feet of sea level rise. \nI mean higher high water. 2 fee of sea level rise is roughly equivalent to the 2050 projection. \nUnder high emissions\, medium to high risk aversion scenario. Which has a 0 point 5% chance of occurring. \nAs you can see\, there would be some inundation at the western area of the site. \nThis\, in\, shows a flooding that would occur with a total water level that is 7 feet. \nAbove the current mean higher high water. That could occur with about 54 into sea level rise plus a 10 year storm surge or 6 feet silver rise plus a king tide. \nOr 7 feet of sea level rise. At mean\, high high water and 7 feet of sea level rise is roughly equivalent to the 2\,100. \nProjection. Under the same scenario. And as you can see\, the site would be completely inundated with this amount of sea level rise. \nThis slide shows an image from the San Francisco estuary. Institute San Francisco Bay Shoreline Adaptation Atlas. \nWhich identifies and describes the suite a potential sea level rise that upation options. For the base store line. \nThe Atlas also identifies which adaptation options may be feasible. How long specific area that the shoreline based on the shoreline conditions at each location? \nUnfortunately\, the map is very difficult to read at the scale and does not appear to identify conditions suitable for any of the listed adaptation options to any meaningful. \nExtent. However\, that does not mean the site is not\, is not suitable for such features. \nI’ve known as they were discussed\, the pilot team is proposing an eagrass restoration area at the west side. \nOf the lagoon. Whereas this Atlas indicate suitability for ill grass at the eastern side of the Lagoon. \nHowever\, again\, this does not necessarily mean the Western side is not suitable. The\, will work with the product team to ensure any ill grass restoration work would be designed and cited appropriately for the site conditions. \nAnd finally\, I would like to make one correction to the staff report that was sent out on December 20 s. \nSo on page 3\, the staff report references and existing. US Fish and Wildlife Service biological opinion from a separate project. \nThat relates to the nearby California least turned nesting site and that’s an endangered species the opinion limits\, trees and structures within areas of the\, the proposed the pay park. \nTo reduce perching opportunities for predator species of the California lease turn. So on the staff report\, I indicated that certain structures proposed for the site\, including their restroom and barbecue cellus would be acceptable. \nTo US Fashion Wildlife Service if they were equipped with anti-purchin devices. However\, this was a misunderstanding and certain portions of the design may in fact be and consistent with a biological opinion and require modification. \nThis map shows a slightly outdated version of the site plan. As it overlaps with 3 zones that are defined in the biological opinion. \nYou can disregard the question mark and the red dot line here. So within zone one\, which is on the right. \nThe biological opinion prohibits construction of new buildings lightpost vegetation or other structures Greater than 4 feet in height. \nThe restroom and as proposed would be in zone one. And would therefore be inconsistent with a biological opinion as currently designed. \nLighting for the adjacent parking lot may also require modification. \nBut I\, you know\, the project team will discuss this more and we’ve already talked about this and we’re confident that. \nYou know\, that will be able to coordinate. To through the pre application process to ensure that the project is designed to be compatible with the You guys fish and wildlife service requirements. \nOther requirements applied to zones 5 and 6. And I think the design is likely consistent with these requirements. \nBut we need to verify this. But we’ll continue coordinating through the\, process on this. \nThis slide shows the 7 objectives for public access and the commissions. Public access design guidelines. \nWhich the board should consider closely in its review. I’m sure you’ve seen this many times\, although of course we have a new member today. \nSo the guidelines focus on publicness and usability\, the public access\, visual access and visual quality. \nConnections and continuity along the shoreline. I’ve taken advantage of the base setting. And. \nAnd compatibility with wildlife. Additionally\, while not currently included in the 7 objectives\, It is important for the board to focus on sea level rise\, resilience\, environmental justice\, and social equity. \nAnd it’s review. \nFinally this slide includes a condensed version of the questions for the board as included in the staff report. \nAs well as one question they added to address that. Us fish and wildlife service requirements. \nSo in addition to the considerations on the previous slide\, we’d also specifically appreciate the board’s input on. \nThe design of the beach and that’s resilience of sea level rise. The advocacy of the terraced beach steps to provide public access to the water when the beach is in data. \nThe adaptation approach for the southern portion of the site. And add a quick advocacy or the adaptation plan in general. \nPotential events that should trigger future adaptation actions. Such as T level rise or funding events. Needs for additional weather protection at the site while avoiding wildlife conflicts. \nRecommendations to adjust the limits of the biological opinion described earlier and of course Any other comments that the board may have on the design? \nThank you very much and that includes my staff introduction. \nThank you\, Scott. Are there any questions from the board? Any clarifying questions on Skyler’s presentation? \nTom\, anything? \nOkay\, I think we will move on. That was a very helpful scalar. Thank you very much for that presentation. \nSo we will now move to the project presentation. And. \nAnd I think we\, I’m not sure who will be making that presentation\, but we will. Hear the introductions shortly. \nGood evening\, everyone. My name is Justin Long. I’m the director of Recreation and Parks for the City of Alameda. \nI’m joined here with Assistant City Manager\, Amy Boldridge\, as well as Kevin Conger with CMG Landscape Architects to present our project. \nWe are very excited here to present DPave Park as an ecological park that will adapt to Dee Pave Park as an ecological park as an ecological\, park that will adapt to see rise here in a relatively\, dense urban area\, in a relatively\, dense urban area\, and per also provide\, the community and\, \nSo this project has been in development for a very long time going all the way back to the precise plan when the site was identified for a very long time\, going all the way back to the precise plan when the site was identified as potential park space. \nAnd then\, became\, a little bit further alive in\, 2\,020 when we started the DPA Park vision plan. \nAnd then again\, when we were granted the measure AA funding. So it kicked off a really busy year this year starting February where we had our project kick off\, community events. \nNot to mention we’ve also worked with Brit. We’ve had 3 or 2 rounds of community engagement meetings. \nWe’re about to have the third. We presented the designs to the Park and Rec Commission and then to City Council in November. \nAnd here we are today. Presenting to you\, to get your feedback on this wonderful project we have for you. \nAgain\, to build on Skylar’s presentation\, the Oval Circle identifies the location of C plane lagoon here as part of the old naval air station as well as Elmo Point. \nThis area really has become a very active space for the residents in Alameda as housing has been added. \nThere’s many businesses out here. You’ll often find people out there fishing\, biking\, walking their dogs currently\, even though it is undeveloped in its current space as a park\, but it’s very active and very important part of the Alameda Park system as well as just Alameda as a whole for the Alameda park system as well as just Alameda as a whole for the city. \nHere’s some historical figures that sort of show what it looked like and before the fill happened in the military naval station was built\, you can sort of see in the different pictures and on the bottom right behind the words there you can see seaplane lagoon and it’s Clory when it was open. \nHere we are with a image from today where if you look at the bottom of the picture\, we have the new seaplane lagoon ferry terminal that services between San Francisco and Alameda to your right\, you see a park development there’s seaplane lagoon promenade phase one which is the current park that has been built that will also help with the sea level rise for the rest of the Alameda \npoint. Area just above that is the plain lagoon promenade for the future next 2 phases we’re about to enter into phase 2 phases. \nWe’re about to enter into phase 2 of that. And then in the distance in the center is the location of Depave Park with behind that the Veterans of Fair Wetlands. \nYou can see at the top the least turned nesting site was out there between the runways as well in the background at the top right hand corner is where the future veterans VA Hospital in Columbarium will be located. \nThis is in that\, C plane lagoon promenade phase 2 is probably where we’re going to\, we’re proposing to have the kayak launches and those components for people to get access to water there as there was historical ramps down there that brought the airplanes down into the water. \nWe’re going to try to use those accommodate those and bring them into have people bring themselves into the lagoon that way as well. \nAnd then San Francisco\, they’re in the background with the views of the bay. \nSo here again is the outside of our project site. It’s approximately 21.2 5 acres. \nYou can see that there are currently 2 big buildings that are located on the site\, building 29 and building 25. \nWe went to city council in November of this year and city council made a very forward thinking decision and they voted to remove both buildings from the property and so that to expand the wetlands and have more of a basically create more ecological space here on the property. \nAs you can also see in the lower part\, what the VA wetlands currently and sort of the proximity of how they’ll join our project. \nAnd sort of the proximity of how they’ll join our project. We’re not looking for them to be combined at this point\, but at\, in the Grand Sense\, they will be one space in the overall. \nThe other thing is we’ve been coordinating with the VA as well during this project. \nSo we recently just had another meeting with them to try to coordinate property line and edges and what that’ll look like. \nNext slide. So these are sort of today’s current images. The C plane lagoon is lined by a rip wrap wall and then our project site is combined mainly of large concrete paving and asphalt. \nAnd again\, joined by the 2 buildings on the side and then it has a jetty out into seaplane lagoon there. \nLike I say\, currently these spaces are used for a variety of uses. There’s also some really kind of interesting old remnants that are still in that concrete back from its original uses with the remnants that are still in that concrete back from its original uses with the air station\, from its original uses with the air station\, airplane ties\, rails\, different components like that air station\, airplane ties\, rails\, different components like that\, things that we’d like to incorporate into the \noverall design moving forward. \nSo this was the price. Precise plan back in 2\,014 identifying the different areas and uses that would happen on Alameda Point. \nDeepave Park is outlined there in the dark green or the purple around the dark lean green. And then you see the\, see\, the see plane promenade right there on the north end of Seaplane Lagoon\, as well as sort of the natural or the nature preserve area that is controlled by the VA and then slightly to the north of that is the VA Hospital Colombarium and then a regional park to \nthe northwest. So these are all side of the kind of different components that were decided back then about what would be done on Lima Point. \nSo here’s an image of Seaplane Lagoon phase one. So this part currently is open to the public. \nIt is showing a tiered level park up from the lagoon that acts as the virtual first phase of the levy that will continue to protect the rest of Alameda Point as it gets built out and in the distance at the very end right before the San Francisco skyline back there is D. \nPave Park and again DPA will serve as that node of the levy system that will be protecting all of the. \nThis slide here shows the pedestrian circulation and bike circulation and where our project site is here. \nSo it’s serves as a very big connection for the Be Trail and so Deepave Park will serve as a node both for the Bay Trail but also for the seasonal Bay Trail that will continue out around all of Alameda Point seasonally. \nAnd so it’s a very important project in that sense that it’s connecting the people to the bay\, but as well as making sure that there’s sort of the seasonal trail so you can get out all your own. \nSo again\, here’s the slide that is from East Bay Park District that shows the outline of the seasonals\, betrayal that will go all the way around the existing point there and at the bottom right hand corner is D Pave Park. \nAnd so where those lines intersect shows where the Bay Trail will come\, but also as DPA Park is the node for the jumping off point where you will be able to do the seasonal trail all around. \nSo again\, we’ve. Had a great time with this project involving the community. We certainly\, we’ve already had 5 in-person community meetings. \nWe’ve had online surveys. We had a great involvement from one of our local high schools who were over 150 responses to our survey. \nWe’ve been working with the Limited Point Collaborative\, which is community that is out here on Limited Point Base\, which is community that is out here on Limited Point Base\, which is an that is out here on Limited Point Base\, which is an underserved community\, which is an underserved community and they’ve been involved in it from day one. \nAnd they’ve been involved in it from day one. We’ve had a great experience with day one. \nWe’ve had a great experience with having the kids and the families out there asking their opinion\, we’ve had a great experience with\, having the kids and the families out there asking their opinion\, seeing how the kids and the families out there asking their\, having the kids and the families out there asking their opinions\, seeing how things that they like out here\, and really getting a So here’s it sort of some \nof the meetings that we held on site. We did intercepts. We hosted meetings. We had tours. \nAnd like I said\, we’ve done the first 2 rounds of our community engagement and we’re about to start our third here on the twentieth where we’ll actually have one meeting out with the Elm to point collaborative community as well but also one for the general public as well in person. \nSo overall\, we’ve the community is very excited about this project. We are delighted to be having this here in Alameda. \nWe think they’ll be a great example of showing how sea level rise can happen and happen in a way to bring the community forward as well as also working on developing a stewardship program to help maintain that with that community as well. \nWe’ve been working with LM to point collaborative to do that. As a sort of an employment. \nProgram in order to get experience and job development. \nHave we seen the support for\, you know\, having Fishermen. They people don’t want to have dogs off leash out there. \nThere’s all sorts of great information that we’ve collected incorporated into our designs. You know\, there’s just been a great support for the marsh\, natural play areas\, fishing\, bicycling\, spaces for outdoor education. \nYou know\, there’s just been a huge tremendous involvement in people asking for a tremendous amount of access to the water\, tidal pools\, really about bringing people out and also creating a great environment for wildlife. \nAnd with that\, I will hand it off to Kevin Conger. Alright\, thank you. \nGood evening. Hi Leo. It’s certainly a pleasure to be here and talking about this project. \nMy new favorite project. One of the one of the biggest outcomes of the community process that Justin was talking about was a very in informed and passionate community that argue for this once in a lifetime opportunity to make a park that was all about nature. \nAnd to compel the council to remove the big building 25 that you saw on that last slide and I think you’re probably going to hear. \nA little bit of support for that decision from the group that’s behind me. Which button am I pushing that one? \nOkay. Transforming this 20 acres of pavement into a place that creates nature and public access to nature is pretty straightforward. \nActually\, in our approach. There’s mostly asphalt out there\, but also these strips of concrete. \nIt’s really thick concrete. It’s about 12 inches deep. And as some of those pictures shown\, there’s some really interesting steel rails and remnants in the concrete from the military industrial past. \nAnd so the strategy is to save the bits and pieces of concrete. That are useful. And to use those for the future. \nPublic space\, promenade\, circulation\, pathways\, etc\, and to remove all the rest of it. \nCrush it\, use it for the fill area. Under the elevated levy portions of the Discovery Play in the picnic area. \nThere’s a huge benefit to repurposing all this existing concrete because it greatly reduces the carbon footprint of this project during construction. \nAnd in fact\, this project will be climate positive we estimate in 4 years it will start to offset its own carbon footprint and be part of the climate solution. \nSo reuse\, recycle as much as possible. And it also leads us with some really interesting forms. \nAnd then basically Take it big hole\, lower the areas to encourage the tides to come in so we create some intertidal habitat areas. \nWe’re gonna create some fill areas that have that are elevated a little higher for some upland habitat creation. Take a \nRest of the film and put it over on into the elevated levy area. So we have a balanced cut fill is what the strategy is and then basically invite nature in. \nThe. The forms that are generated around the new paving\, which is the orange area\, which is all that DG area\, those are. \nThat way because we’re trying to harvest strips of concrete from the. The pieces that we’re moving\, we’re gonna use that for the. \nRestraining edges for all the edges of the DT paving and everything. So again\, we’re trying to reuse pretty much as much as possible. \nSo this is a paving diagram\, everything basically to the left. Is all existing paving and again the forms there\, you know\, these sock up machines are these big giant heavy things that pretty much make straight lines. \nYou don’t get to do curves or anything\, so it’s a really kind of just pragmatic approach to. \nGenerating form and then everything to the right. Basically the right third is going to be new paving DG and that’s all upon the elevated area and then the parking area is also going to be on existing paving. \nLooking to some of the furnishings and I’ll start at the right hand side\, which is north. \nThere’s about 75 parking spaces on existing paving over there. The restroom is on that north side. \nWe\, as was mentioned by Skylar\, we got a bit of discussion of whether that restroom can be there with the anti perching element on it or whether we need to move it a little bit. \nEast out of that zone. So we’ll work with Brit to do that. And then from there\, that’s down a little lower. \nSo then from there you go. South and you go up onto the elevated levy. There’s a big picnic trellis there in a picnic area\, group barbecue area\, same issue there with the bird predator things we may need to move that a bit east and then the discovery play area. \nThere’s a terrorist that steps down to the beach. The terrace made out of concrete slabs that we’re going to cut and harvest. \nMove those over from the existing paving. So that’s all repurposed. Moving south\, there’s a overlook area\, interpretative overlook area\, and then down the promenade that goes all the way out to the end and then the further south is the what we call the learning lab\, but there’s some of the big or more interesting remnant pieces of concrete with the steel rails. \nThat will be places for groups to gather school groups to go out there and gather. Social spaces\, etc\, all the way at the far\, far\, far south then as a fishing trail along the back edge of that rip wrap. \nThat’s where the fish fisher people like to go because it’s out on the bay side\, not in the Lagoon side. \nSo here’s a simple circulation diagram. So\, 24 foot. More average prominent minimum. \n24 foot minimum promenade\, multi-use path all the way up to the end\, and then these smaller pedestrian pathways that are again are mostly all predominantly using existing paving except for those areas that are on the. \nNorth where we’re elevating the land. And we will have\, bike circulation out here and also vehicle circulation for service vehicles. \nEventually\, that spur that heads up to the top screen to the west will connect and go north and be part of the levy. \nProtection that goes all the way around behind the hanger buildings in future phases. \nSo some material and character all pretty straightforward\, natural materials. \nHere’s some scale comparisons because it’s a little hard to wrap your head around how big this park is. \nIt’s about 2 thirds to. Size of Similar width actually about 2 thirds the length It’s a little bit shorter than the length of the Christy field. \nTitle Marsh\, out the same width\, actually interestingly. The beach piece down here is overlaid here on top of Crane Cove. \nQuite a bit smaller than Crane Cove\, so it’s a little pocket beach. The learning lab. \nPiece is about the size of the area down by the warming hut at Chrissy fields. \nIt’s a little bit bigger\, maybe\, you know\, maybe twice the size of that\, but. \nKind of similar to that and maybe a little bit. Better scale present will be this side down on the east end of Christy field where a butts up against Marina Green. \nIt’s about the same size as that space down there. So we’re really confident that it’s scaled appropriately. \nThe grading. The whole site is basically at about. 10 and a half. So we’re. \nLowering the edge in the center area\, where the gravel beach is proposed\, which is Right here. \nAbout. 6 feet at the rip wrap edge. And lower the seawall down a little bit and lower the rip wrap to create a gravel beach and then basically excavating out the areas to create intertidal zones and raising up the Discovery Play Picnic area up to about 15\, which is the height of the levy that’s part of the master infrastructure plan that goes around and \nprotects. All of the\, Alameda point. So. Here down at the north end\, we’re basically elevating a little bit down at the Picnic terrace and where that interpretative overlook is and then as we move further south. \nYou can see here where we’re cutting into the seawall\, which is shown in red there. \nI’m going to drop the top of the seawall down. But not remove it all the way because we still need that lower part of the rip wrap sea wall to interface with the seaplane lagoon. \nAnd same with the inner title\, the Rocky Inner Title Habitat area at the Far Far South End. \nSo that allows us to create an inner title area that’s illustrated in that top diagram where the dark blues mean high high water and lighter gray is the king tide so all of that zone will be intertidal and what’s exciting is that with CLRIs coming up\, our wetland areas get bigger. \nAnd we get increasing intertidal zone\, which is the goal of this project. So you see that on the bottom one with about 2 feet of sea level rise all the public access places are still high and dry at that point. \nBut when we get to\, 3 and a half feet of sea level rise\, you can see that the main promenade starts to get inundated at king tides and it will be at about that point where the city will need to make some decisions about when to do the adaptation for the public access. \nTo maintain public access out here. And the thought that we have is that they’ll just leave that concrete was a big 12 inch map foundation and just build a elevated promenade on top of that. \nAnd I know in the staff report there was some comments about are we thinking about providing enough public access at the southern part where the learning lab is and as to say that this is just very notional. \nI mean at the time when that adaptation gets designed. The city will make a decision about whether they want to add more elevated deck space out there or different types of\, you know\, public access amenities out there\, which I think would be great. \nAnd then ultimately\, when we get to 7 feet of sea level rise as with the rest of the Alameda point the levy itself needs to be adapted and elevated up. \nBut that will be far enough out where that program that discovery play area and the picnic and stuff up there were\, you know\, 80 years from now. \nRenovated anyway. \nSo what all that does is allows us to create a bunch of habitat\, primarily salt marsh in this lower inner tidal area\, upland coastal scrub in the areas at above that will transition to salt marsh over time\, gravel beach habitat right along the shoreline\, eel grass pilot project at that southern end and a rocky intertidal habitat zone on the very\, very far south end. \nAnd you can see how this becomes more or less contiguous with the with the VA. Weapons on on the other side. \nSo it’s really all about\, and I won’t point out we have HC Harvey and ESA advisors advising us on the ecological. \nComponents of this but it’s really all about this interface between the tide waters and the land obviously to create these different type of habitat zones. \nWe are doing it for These stakeholders\, these are all the species that are currently out. At Alameda Point and including the\, Alameda Song Sparrow there in the middle of the screen and some of the subtitle species that are on the bottom of the screen there\, but we also have. \nThese VIP stakeholders\, the California Least Turn in the Great Blue Hare and there’s a There’s a her and site right in the middle of the Project site\, which you’ll see in that blue dot here on that lower part of the slide. \nAnd this slide also shows. The least turned nesting site and all of that hatched area is part of the. \nConservation area because of the lease turns and so oh\, and I just wanted to point out that\, \nDown on the on the southern end of the VA property There’s 2 black kind of bubbles that are outlined and there’s improvement\, habitat improvements that are planned down there which include doing some re vegetation around the existing wetlands\, but also creating a new planned wetland you see on the left hand of this screen to expand the inner title zones over on that VA. \nA property and HC Harvey has been doing the work on those 2 projects as well. And so just to look at that in this air photo\, you can see the those VA wetlands\, you see that the heron. \nHooker rookery right there in the middle of the side the least turn loafing area over to the left there is some habitat value currently at DPA Park with the bottom edge of the intertidal rocky shoreline and also the mudflats out there. \nBut if you just kind of diagram all that stuff that’s existing and we also put in here the expanded marsh and then overlay the proposed DPA park wetlands and upland vegetation. \nYou can see that how the whole thing kind of becomes one bigger complex. All sort of working together. So the subtitle area will be look like this. \nThis native. Vegetation\, the upland coastal upland areas. Looks like this. All things that we’re familiar with. \nSome of the plant species that HD Harvey is recommending things that are familiar pickleweed and cord grass and the glass ward and eel grass and see. \nThere’s transition planting and should come up a little higher and then the upland. Plant materials. \nSo take you on a quick tour now from north to south. Zooming in a little bit on the plan. \nSo there’s that the barbecue trellis area\, they’re right in the middle\, there’s the beach area with the terrace\, the nature play area\, there’s another large group picnic area that’s to the west and then these 3 nodes of like smaller picnic spaces and then the overlook that will have these interpretive panels. \nWhich show another view again to see it there. And then a rendering from the overlook. We’re looking at incorporating the interpretive story into the railing that goes all around it. \nMoving to the middle\, there’ll be a bridge. Where we remove some of the existing paving\, create a bridge where the Martian let is. \nView from that and then down in the what we call the learning lab and all these kind of big Blob things that you see on top of the payment call these seating slabs. \nThat’s where we’re proposing to take some of the big plants that we’re going to kind of harvest out of the existing paving and repurpose them. \nFor\, seating elements and sculptural elements. And then also you see the\, space there at the end. \nSo. A view of the learning lab. With the steel rails in it\, the intertidal area. \nAnd\, and then lastly\, a view from one of the higher upland overlooks looking back. \nSo that’s where we are. We’re hoping to get to council here in a month or so for approval of this final master plan. \nWe’re hoping to get to council here in a month or so for approval of this final master plan. \nWe’re hoping to get to 30% design. This spring and with that assist the city and going after more grant money with\, AJA and others and really looking forward to hearing. \nYour thoughts and comments about how to make this better and also hopefully hearing your endorsement. For us moving this project forward. \nThank you. Okay\, thank you both. Justin and Kevin. Excellent presentation. \nAnd I\, it’s a. It is a very exciting and very significant project. So I’m thrilled that you are all here with your team and associated folks from the community as well because it’s a significant evening for us to have this project with us. \nSo we’ll move to clarifying questions\, from. The project presentation. We’ll just perhaps move along the line here. \nGary\, do you have any questions? \nSure. Yeah. Thank you. That was a wonderful presentation. \nI’m just curious context wise because it’s an opportunity for us to all learn something about the bay edge and context. \nJust curious\, who are the? Users today and what do you anticipate? You know\, in the future given the status of\, a\, to point\, you know\, what projects have been completed recently and what do you see in the pipeline? \nAnd and then maybe just one other thing those very large hangers that Kevin referred to for a second and they’re shown as being\, I think\, being flooded in the recently near future is their plans for those buildings. \nThank you\, Gary\, for your questions. The current users\, out here at all\, to point\, like I said\, the community\, even though it is sort of undeveloped\, is actively using this. \nThere are with the reason projects built out in what we call site a with a housing out there there’s a tremendous amount of people living here now. \nThere’s restaurants amount of people living here now. There’s restaurants\, there’s breweries. \nIf you\, now with a new ferry terminal connection to this area\, it’s become incredibly active. \nSo it also with the first phase of C plane lagoon promenade. We’re also working with radium who has regular performances out there currently. \nI’ll\, to point collaborative is located\, within walking distance of this site. \nThey’re sort of our\, it’s a very low income area and an underserved community. \nWe are also in the process of starting construction on our reshape project. Which is going to help both take care of our older housing units that are out there that are serving the underserved but also expand that and also provide different services out there like the\, a library branch is going to be out there\, but also they’re building as part of that project\, this barn employment center training center part of that that’s going to \nbe built out as part of that. And then as the rest of the master plan for the base build out\, there’s going to be just a lot more residents and businesses out there using this park and getting access to this property. \nSo encouraging people to get out their sea nature\, be connected to it\, and then addressing your concern about the sea level rise. \nSo part of the master plan infrastructure plan that continues out and around at the edge of D Pave Park where you saw the elevated part with the picnic and terrace all that promenade going out to Deepave Park and then continuing out north and around the entire Alameda point will be a raised levy system in order to protect those old hanger buildings that you see there. \nAnd many of those are not vacant currently today. There we have active uses in them\, different businesses\, and we’re actually looking about expanding those. \nSo that’s who we’ll be using in the future. Okay\, thank you. Stefan\, any questions? \nYeah\, thank you for the presentation. I really appreciate it. I have one question sort of about. \nI guess the stewardship and management. Of the space and sort of how that actually might relate to. \nThe management of the other public spaces around in this in this vicinity. Are there special needs here that you’re hoping to accommodate as this sort of built out? \nOkay. Thank you. Yeah\, so\, you know\, as part of this process\, we’re also working on a stewardship group with\, you know\, as part of this process\, we’re also working on a stewardship group with Albie to Point Collaborative\, really trying to get at a stewardship group with Albany to Point Collaborative\, I’ll be to point collaborative\, really trying to get at environmental justice and \ngetting\, really trying to get at environmental justice and getting\, a workforce trained to help do this. \nWe understand that this is not going to be a workforce trained to help do this. We understand that this is not going to be the normal park maintenance\, you know\, system out here. \nWe understand that this is not going to be the normal park maintenance\, we understand that this is not going to be the normal park maintenance\, you know\, system out here. \nSo there’s going to be the normal park maintenance\, you know\, system out here. So there’s going to be a need for specifically trained individuals and sort of developing a need for specifically trained individuals and sort of developing a work program and trying to do that to reach out to the community and that unders \nOkay\, thank you\, Cody. Clarifying questions. Yeah\, per se\, I think it’s extraordinary. \nPlace to build a park. Working at this scale in the bays. Rare\, especially in an adaptive retreat that I think could serve as is an example regionally and you know around the world. \nI was curious about the the longer term. Resilience for 2\,100 protection and you alluded towards. \nYou know at such time the city would decide whether or not or how to go about providing access out to the to the end of the point that would be outside of the area protected by the levy\, I understand. \nBut\, yeah\, I’m just curious if strategies or any additional thoughts have been developed that weren’t included in the presentation. \nOr if that’s something that you intend to address as we get closer to that scenario. I believe as we continue project development as we look at that\, we’ll definitely need to do\, further studies of how that levy\, how the whole levy system will interact\, will be looking at the adaptive ways in the future\, whether or not the height out continuing around the park\, but also that access continuing out to \nthe waterway as to what height\, what we need to build it at. I think that we have the preliminary ideas around it\, but I think we need to do\, we’ll be doing more as we continue to develop this project. \nAnd as we get to that\, 2\,100\, you know\, between now and then\, you know\, there’s be so much to anticipate that I think\, you know\, working on positive strategies and really trying to think that through will be part of the rest of this project as we continue to move forward. \nThank you. Leo\, any questions? Sure. Thank you. \nAnd like others\, I wanna thank you for the presentation. I think it’s always wonderful to see a very thorough presentation about a project. \nThat’s as important as this. And really gonna contribute a significant amount of area back to public access. \nSo thank you. I had really maybe 2 questions. Or 2 areas of questions. One is about hydrology and second is about access. \nSo on the hydrology side\, I know you\, Kevin and others have done this kind of work extensively. \nI would like to understand that the hydrology of these inlets and the way the targets work that those areas will continue to be flesh and fleshed out and remain healthy and how that your thoughts behind that. \nAnd then secondly about access. We can see from the plans that there’s certain amount of seating along that length. \nWould be helpful to understand what is the sort of interval. Is it comfortable for people to walk all the way out? \nThey might need places to perch and to sit as well as are there specific types of seating\, you know\, this is a former air base. \nSo presumably it’s pretty windy and are there opportunities for some seating not all but some that might have a little bit of wind or purchase for people who wanna come here for bird watching. \nCause it sounds like that’s a real opportunity. So any fine-tuning about that kind of access would be appreciated. \nOkay\, great. Hi\, hydrology. We\, ESA is on our team doing the hydraulic\, hydrological analysis. \nSo they are feeling pretty comfortable with the title prism coming in out of here and there have been analyzing the amount of scour and everything and make sure that it’s all going to work feeling good. \nMoffat and Nichols also on our team. We do have a little bit of wave erosion threat in here because the ferry coming in and out generates these little waves that just kind of lap out the shoreline. \nSo\, but we think we have a strategy that everybody’s really comfortable with in the short term\, but also a sea level rise comes up so we don’t have. \nAn erosion problem later. So a long story short is we’re on that. We’re and at you know\, at the 30% design level or 20% design level or 20% design level or 20% design level that we’re at right now. \nWe think we’re in good shape with the hydrology. And at the 30% design level or 20% design level that we’re at right now\, we think we’re in good shape with the hydrol On the seating. \nIt’s only\, you know\, it’s only about 1\,700 feet. Long from one edge of this to the other you saw when I showed those scale comparisons. \nSo it’s about a 7 min walk. And I think we have\, I don’t remember\, 27. \nSeating plants or something like there’s a lot of seating out here and they’re both these big concrete plants\, but there’s also a whole bunch of benches everywhere benches with backs and armrests and more convectional seating. \nSo I think Leo that there’s going to be a plenty of seating in terms of like when you need to sit and take a rest and stuff like that. \nWe also have been pretty Okay\, careful to get seating oriented toward the different views and to have some of it behind. \nThe the mounded upland scrub areas. So by the time you get a little bit of topography and vegetation\, the benches down low enough to where you’re going to be tucked in out of the wind. \nWe are constrained somewhat by not being able to have tall elements. That encourage predator birds to perch on them and then. \nAnd then that creates some conflicts with the least turn site. So. And we’re trying to frankly kind of keep\, I’m trying to keep everything low also out here and to not have too many design elements. \nTo that that in my mind potentially start to change what this park is about like if we can make it just essentially about Nature. \nAnd being on an old runway. You know\, that’s like that’s enough\, I think. \nThat’s a really compelling place to be. I’m in an old runway in nature and without adding too many bells and whistles to it. \nThanks. That helps. And I think that that overarching principle is really spot on. So thank you. \nOkay\, thank you\, Leo. Tom\, any clarifying questions? \nYeah\, Kevin\, I guess\, I mean\, great project\, obviously. I think you just answered maybe my question\, which was\, you know\, there was\, I noticed there was a board question about shelter for people. \nOut here and I guess that means wind but also sun. And There being no trees here. I guess the reason there’s no trees is because that provides a Burch not damages the. \nHabitat but I just is there. Anything that could or should be done for somebody’s got a Very fair skinned little baby out there all the way at the end. \nThat kind of thing. I don’t know if that’s needed or appropriate with the discussion has been and the other question is how close is nearest bathroom? \nThe bathroom is near the parking. So it’s 1\,700 feet from the far south end. You know\, it’s at the it’s at the entrance end. \nBut again. \nOkay. So\, 7\, 7 min walk. \nRight\, so 7. So I think it’s\, it’s not too far. And You know\, again\, when we thought about shade and treat your correct on trees and the perching. \nA predator perching so that that was that. And when we went out to places like\, Heron’s head and\, you know\, when you walk along the marsh at Chrissy field\, again\, which I showed in the scale comparisons\, it just seems like. \nIt’s not that. It’s\, it’s\, I think that shades not neat\, really needed. \nI think it’ll be it’ll be good. \nOkay. \nOkay\, thanks\, Tom. I just have 3 questions. The first one I just want to clarify. What the ground conditions are expected to be like when you. \nRemove the concrete and start\, repurposing it\, recycling it. Do you expect to\, find contamination or what What’s likely? \nThere’ll probably be some we’re doing up there’s been some testing that’s done out there and some remediation that’s been done out there and some remediation that’s been done already by the Navy. \nWe are underway with more further testing right now just to make sure that we have a good understanding of what is going to be in there. \nSo if we have to do any further remediation that we can capture that in our cost estimates\, in our grant funding requests. \nSo if things are found that are in conflict with what it is that’s being proposed\, they’ll be remediated or removed. \nRight. I mean\, the question behind that really is\, This is conceptual and\, you know\, moving into\, design right now\, but\, you know. \nWhether they could be flexibility to actually avoid some of these areas once you\, you know\, in the design. \nYes\, and we\, and we have done that based on what we think might be there. We have\, you know\, the\, and the bigger conflicts with the contaminations\, potential contaminations are not so much human. It’s the interaction with the bay. \nSo have it’s the related to the Brit. So we’re trying to like work around that if we can\, but we don’t. \nExactly know what’s where. Okay. Like a second question. Is dealing with the beach and\, appreciated the presentation and scale comparison. \nCan you talk a little bit more about what the intended uses are on the beach is that it tended to be a place you swim from or you know what’s being the feedback so far from the community and then the question of resilience of beach related to fairy waves and so on and you know what what the how far you’ve gotten studies. \nAs far as any type of erosion\, so there’s a little beach now that’s there. \nThere’s a little sandy beach that more sand gets deposited right there and so we’re basically just working with that grade. \nAnd laying it back a little bit deeper and you know we’re gonna have to import some sand to bring it in there so we’re trying to stay with what’s there so that we don’t create any new erosion problems. \nAnd so\, Thanks we’re in good shape there in terms of that approach. I know there was a question from staff about the long term. \nAdaptability of the beach. And\, what to do about that and I\, think\, that our assumption is what when the water comes up another 3 feet it won’t be a beach there or if it is just gonna be at the lowest tides\, you know\, it’s gonna be underwater like a lot of the other beaches in the world. \nThe intended use is just a small recreational. Pocket you know I think people will go down there and sit on the beach and I think people probably will go swimming out there. \nAs Justin mentioned\, the primary kayak launch and small craft launch is further down in that second phase of the promenade. \nSo we imagine that that’s the place where most of the kind of launching activity is gonna occur. \nBut I think it’s gonna be a popular recreational amenity to just run around on the sand a little bit like the tiny beach at Clipper Cove is. \nRight. I looked just so\, question. I just wanted to clarify. The on the plan that’s on the screen right now the yellow color on the main walkway is decomposed granted. Is that correct? \nThat follow is about 25% of the length and then it moves to concrete. So my question is really to do with accessibility and safety. \nWheelchairs etc. you know baby strollers are you comfortable that the I mean\, well\, I went\, but just I just wanted to clarify that. \nSo that is. Decomposed. Correct. Stabilized crush stone. Right. \nAnd then the following question to that is on the vision plan. I saw that there at least in the package we received that there was originally some looping of the trail secondary paths and it was a just wanted to hear a bit more on your thinking. \nAbout you know\, a 1\,700 long linear path versus loops and so on. We took the loops out when we all toured Heron’s head with our ecology team and we observed that the place that had the most habitat was the place that was furthest away from people. \nPeople and dogs and so forth. And so we thought\, well\, if we want to have habitat on the west edge of our wetlands and we do loop out there it’s going to be counterproductive. \nAnd so I’m better to be a little further away from the birds\, but seabirds than to be over there and have no birds. \nOkay\, thank you. Okay\, I think that concludes our clarifying questions. We’ll move to public comment now and Any members of the public attending the meeting in person? \nPlease notify the board secretary if you would like to make a comment. And as we said before\, if you’re attending online and would like to make a public comment\, you can raise your virtual hand to speak and please do that. \nAt this time. And if you’re calling in. You can also call in to make a comment you will be called in the order that your hand was raised and you will have a 3 min Period to speak. \nUri will note when you have 1 min remaining. Please state your name and affiliation for the record at the beginning of your comment. \nAnd as mentioned at the beginning of the meeting\, if you would like to add your contact information to the interested parties list to be notified of future meetings concerning this project. \nPlease call or email Ashley Tomlin. So\, you will hand to you now. Thank you. \nOkay. \nAnd you will have 3 min to speak. \nHello\, my name is Jeff Maker. I live within walking distance of where DPA Park is going to be. \nI’m here also as a member of the Golden Gate Bird Alliance. I’m a co chair of the East Bay Conservation Committee and I’m also on the Youth Advisory Committee for Education in the East Bay. \nI’m a lifelong birder. I love the idea of this park. It’s such a great idea. \nI can’t wait to see more birds out there. I love the idea of this park. It’s such a great idea. I can’t wait to see more birds out there. \nI go out there frequently the bird and see a lot of other burgers out there. One of my concerns is about\, access for fishermen. \nWherever fishermen go. And of course it’s not all the fishermen. I have nothing against personally\, but they often leave tankled fishing line. \nAnd that is a big hazard for birds. I would much prefer that fishermen are not allowed out on the jetty on the far end. \nAlso I walk out\, Pass Ensignel Beach on the jetty out there and there’s often a lot of trash left out there by Mostly fishermen because those are the people I see out there. \nAnd that attracts rats. And rats will wreak havoc with the birds if they’re roosting out there. \nAnd especially if there are nesting birds out there\, rats will. Eat eggs\, chicks. \nAdult birds\, etc. So. I would caution against allowing fishing out on the far end of the thing. \nThere are fishermen out there\, but they’re not very many. There are many other places where they can go. \nOut over by the Hornet by Ensignel Beach. etc. So. \nMy recommendation. Would be to not have fishermen there. I think it’d be better for the birds\, which is one of the major purposes of the park is to have a nature center. \nAnd I think it would interfere with the birds. So that’s my recommendation. Thank you. \nMarjorie Powell\, you will have 3 min to speak. \nThank you. My name is Marjorie Powell. I am an Alameda resident. \nI very frequently go birding out on this. Section of concrete and around the other. Section of seaplane lagoon. \nI have personally seen more than 100 species of birds out in that area. It is an area. Currently with only concrete\, but with the. \nLand in the VA wetlands behind and the water within seaplane lagoon. It is very well used by birds. \nI anticipate that once there is marshland there\, there will be more birds nesting there. Once you have birds nesting\, you have a whole range of issues that need to be addressed. \nOne of those is dogs. I think it’s vitally important that dogs not be allowed within this park. \nIf there is any interest in encouraging birds\, particularly nesting birds\, the dogs will. Eliminate a lot of that because they scared the birds off the nest even when the dogs are on leashes. \nNow I’m not opposed to dogs but there are numbers of places within Let me the point. As well as the entire Alameda Island where dogs are very welcome. \nI think just shouldn’t be one of them. I’d like to echo the fishing issue. I almost every time I leave the D to pay park area I have fishing line that I’ve picked up from the ground in my back pocket to go find one of the places I can dump it to be recycled. \nFishing line and fish hooks are anathema to birds. There are all kinds of problems with birds. \nGetting tangled in fishing line or getting caught with fishing nets. So that’s a real concern. \nBut I also think that there is a concern about trash. And any time you have people\, particularly people out having picnics or using the parks in other ways\, you get trash. \nAnd if you’ve tried to take trash out of marshlands\, it’s very difficult. \nAll you have to do is look at any other wetland park\, I think it’s important to have good trash bins and to make sure that there are. \nThat the trash doesn’t move into the wetland areas. But I’m excited to see all these developments and looking forward to the sea level rise\, changing the patterns of the water there. \nThank you. Thank you. \nKaren Miller\, will you approach the podium? \nGood evening. My name is Karen Miller and I am a long time Alameda resident. I am also a member of the Golden Gate Bird Alliance. \nAnd I’m also a member of the very active paddle boarding. Neighborhood in Alameda. \nSo in regards to the park itself. I am very excited about this and\, I just wanted to bring up one thing about making sure that the access for people with disabilities is really carefully looked at. \nHope that the pass and the access will be there for people. Who have need to use a wheelchair. \nI also\, I live right next to Crab Cove and I know that some of the East Bay regional parks have specialized wheelchairs that people can reserve and use that have special wheels that make it easier for them to use them on the pass. \nAnd also people who don’t have wheelchairs of their own but have disabilities that make it difficult for them to get around in parks. \nCan use those so they can also get out there and really enjoy. The park and I think given that the VA is gonna be so close\, I think it would be really healing for a lot of the people who are patients there to come out and to the park and we’d want to make sure that those patients also were able to fully use the park even given whatever disabilities they might have. \nAnd then also. With people who are in wheelchairs or where there’s benches and seating and stuff to make sure that any fences that are put in don’t have slats like right at your eye level when you’re sitting down by LC Romer\, bird sanctuary on shoreline\, the dock that goes out there. \nIf you’re sitting in a wheelchair\, you can’t see through the slots there on that dock. \nAnd that’s just one example of something that would be an easy fix. On behalf of the paddle boarding and kayaking community\, I’m so excited about having a new landing spot. \nThere’s probably maybe a half dozen of really specific public landing spots for the small craft in kayaks in Alameda. \nSo this will be. Very widely used by those communities and we’re very\, very excited about it. \nSo\, I think it’s a wonderful park and\, I’m really happy that we’re all here working on it. \nThank you. Thank you. \nRichard Banger and then Cheryl Nelson and Bry you’ll be next. \nThank you. My name is Richard Banger. I’m a resident of Alameda and I’ve in a long time advocate for this park going from. \nConceptual plan to master plan. And I’m thrilled that. The City Council recently approved the maximum plan by bringing to remove building 25 And I would say this should serve as an example for other cities around the bay. \nBecause it’s not just a building\, it’s a building that’s worth a lot of revenue. \nAnd someday it will be\, it would be worth a lot of money to sell. They’ve given that up. \nAnd for the environment\, for the future. And I think that is a remarkable. Achievement. \nThe\, the issue that I’d like to talk about tonight. \nIs the passage in the staff report. That refers to fencing and dogs. Says finally low cable and mesh fencing would border the central promenade. \nThe property line with the adjacent BA wetland. To prevent dogs and people from disturbing habitat areas. \nI would argue that best way to keep dogs from disturbing habitat areas is to not allow them in there in the first place. \nAnd I think. You need look no further than. Coyote Regional Park. In the South Bay where Yes\, it’s coyote hills and there’s a lot of hills\, but there’s also a lot of marsh area. \nAnd the rules specifically state no dogs. In the marsh area. So\, and also. The walkway that goes through that marsh area. \nIt doesn’t have any fencing on it. It’s just like a boardwalk. I mean\, yeah\, somebody could fall off into the water\, but. \nDoesn’t seem to be a problem. So\, and if you would have fencing. Well\, it wouldn’t just be the promenade. \nI mean\, where would you stop? I mean\, you’d have to have fencing so next to the tide pools. \nAnd then how do people go down there if they brought their dog? They could tie the dog up. So\, I mean\, it’s just not practical. \nFrom any angle to allow dogs in this park\, it’s a marshland. It’s a marshland and your your guidelines state\, well I’ve lost it on the screen but it states that you the policies The last bullet point stated that policy should not negatively affect wildlife. \nAnd management policies. And I would urge you to stipulate when the permit is issued that it’s state\, no dogs allowed. \nThat I think is necessary for the benefit of the wildlife there. So thank you very much. Thank you. \nOkay. Hi\, I’m Cheryl Nelson inbri and I was the supervising naturalist at Crab Cove for 26 years. \nAnd retired about 4 years ago. I’m now involved with the Golden Gate Audubon. \nAnd formerly Audubon\, now the Bird Alliance. And I’m also the co-chair of the Friends of the Alameda Wildlife Reserve. \nSo we just really applaud the city of Alameda for. Planning this park for taking it through the visioning process and we’re just really excited that this is going to be a wetland park that will welcome wildlife and can help to replace the more than 80% of wetlands that have been lost around the bay. \nAnd because of this being a wildlife park it just doesn’t make sense to have dogs roaming freely through it. \nAnd currently a lot of wildlife uses this park I’ve been watching nesting osprey. \nThat are in the park on the jetties that are one of them will be within this new park plan. \nAnd the osprey have been nesting there for about 10 years so they kind of alternated between the 2 jetties. \nAnd so we can already see\, you know\, the impact that additional fishing would have on that kind of bird life. \nAnd then also having the dogs roaming there\, you know\, that would reduce the number of bird species that could nest there. \nSo I just really encourage you to think about some of the details of this plan like that. And also\, if there were no dogs\, you wouldn’t have to have the fencing that went to the ground. \nYou could just have a boundary line for people to know that they shouldn’t go across. So thank you so much for the work that you’re doing for nature and for creating new habitat for wildlife as well as for people to enjoy. \nAnd thanks for letting me say my peace. Thank you. \nIrene Dieter\, please. \nHello board members. I am a resident of Alameda. I am one of the many residents of Alameda who have been really excited about this project. \nWe have been working on it for years. And I cannot find anyone in the city who is not looking forward to it. \nSo\, I want to just say that I hope that you do not underestimate. How important? \nHow significant\, how historic. How monumental this project is. And each of you get to be a part of this history making. \nThere are not many places. Where we have been able to adapt. To sea level rise while people get to enjoy the change. \nAnd I’m sure that you don’t have many projects that you were looking at that it’s being undeveloped versus developed. \nBut it’s being in a different context. And it is just so exciting. And I think that this project\, there’ll be many coastal communities around the country that will look at it. \nAnd for an example. Let alone around the world. To look at it and your names will be on this to make it the best it can be. \nAnd to move it forward. And I just think that this will be a project that so many different agencies and stakeholders will be involved with with getting funding for this. \nSo the more excitement and the more support that we have for this project\, the more the money will follow to make it a reality. \nSo I\, want to thank you for being a part of this historic event. Thank you. Thank you. \nChair\, we have 2 public comments online. The first person is Andy Mavoli. Apologize. \nHopefully I pronounce your name correctly. I am allowing you to speak and you have 3 min. \nGood evening. My name is Andy Mavoli and I’m speaking on behalf of San Francisco Baykeeper. \nThank you for the opportunity to comment on this innovative Depave Park project. Baykeeper is a California nonprofit organization and submits these comments on behalf of its approximately 5\,000 members and supporters who live and or recreate in and around San Francisco Bay area. \nBaykeeper’s mission is to defend San Francisco Bay from the biggest threats and to hold pleuters and government agencies accountable to create healthier communities and help wildlife thrive. \nBeeekeeper has participated in the stakeholder group since the visioning plan for this progressive ecological park. \nAs one of the scientific leads\, we met with city staff and consultants to help describe the benefits of this park for the people of Lameda and Alameda’s wildlife\, including how it will help protect this community against climate change impacts. \nAs you know\, nearly 85% of San Francisco Bay’s historical wetlands have been destroyed by development. \nSo we are encouraged to see Alameda begin to rewild its shoreline and restore the many benefits wetlands can provide. \nAll right. Alan Mida should be applauded for designing and implementing this visionary park. \nWe hope that other cities will follow Alameda’s lead and rewild their shorelines\, creating buffers for sea level rise\, enhancing biodiversity\, increasing community resiliency to climate change and creating more shoreline access. \nWhen built Deepave Park can become the model for other cities to follow. Using nature-based solutions rather than hardening their shorelines to address climate change. \nWe encourage this design review board to support Deepave Park in its mission and design. Projects like this will truly support communities and nature as our climate crisis unfolds. \nThank you so much. \nThank you. \nOkay\, the next speaker is Come if you could date your first and last name and affiliation. You have 3 min. \nYes\, we can. \nCan you hear me? Am I on? Thank you. My first name is Kami. \nLast name is Richards. I’m also an elevator resident. I feel a little bit lonely because I’m not going to speak wildly in favor of this. \nMy question is\, has anybody done research on how many? Least turns were losing to predator birds now. \nI mean\, there are buildings that have been there for 50 or 60 years. The least turn community seems to be doing okay. \nAnd here we are\, it sounds like we’re afraid to put up a 6 foot wind break. In the future. \nSo I\, it sounds like you’ve got a huge science team working on this. And I don’t know that we need to be horrified of. \nPlanting the tree or putting up a windbreak when you if you go and look at the buildings that are have been there since the Navy was there and the least turns have been there just as long. \nThat’s\, that’s my\, conceptually\, I like the idea of a park. \nI don’t think that it needs to be. Literally like walking on a runway. \nI think we could do better Thank you. \nThank you. And there are no more public comments. \nOkay\, well thank you for that and thank you to everyone who contributed comments tonight. I can see there’s a great deal of long-term. \nCommitment and passion about this project as one of the speakers mentioned that is really needed to bring it to reality. \nOkay\, we will now move to board discussion. And advice. And so we have all the board members present here. \nTom online. So Tom will make sure you contribute. The staff have asked us to consider 4 particular questions but as always I think we you know at this stage in the development of the the design I think you know bigger picture comments are also welcome from in our discussion. \nBut the full question is just to remind you\, the first question deals with the beach. And just you know is it appropriately designed to be usable and accessible. \nWe heard some details on that\, you know\, details about\, well\, is it\, Will it be expected to erode\, require regular nourishment\, so maintenance questions. \nDo the terrorist beach steps provide an equivalent water access experience when the beach is inundated due to sea level rise? \nSo we we heard the proponents talk about that. But. We should have some discussion on that\, question. \nThe second question deals with the adaptation approach that has been presented and the adequacy in terms of addressing program and use areas at the southern portion of the site\, which as you recall in the advocacy in terms of addressing program and use areas at the southern portion of the site\, which as you recall\, in the long term that that disappears. \nSo\, you know\, are there programs that have not been included in the long term adaptation plan that should be included or prioritized. \nSo it’s really a question about adaptation and program. And then question 3\, events and event frequency. \nWell\, actually I just want to read this as written. What events and event frequency would the board recommend as triggers? \nEG flooding events or observe sea level rise amounts for initiating sea level rise actions\, adaptation actions such as the elevated board walk. \nSo this is speaking to our. Our question that we deal with every time we look at a project. And then the final question\, do the public access uses of the southern portion of the site necessitate weather protection? \nIf so\, does the board have recommendations on how this could be provided while avoiding conflict with the adjacent habitat area. \nSo so these are the 4 questions that\, you know\, if you want to speak specifically to one of those that would be helpful to staff. \nAnd But if you also want to speak to any bigger. Points related to access. All the design. \nPlease go hit. So. Gary\, do you want to lead off? \nSure\, I can do that. Thank you. Okay\, well. Maybe just start with. \nThe beach comment You know\, I do\, I think that\, you know\, it’s great to have the beach. \nIf you’re bringing in sand\, then yeah\, that implies that there’s some maintenance involved. \nI think it’s worth Considering what is the beach become if the maintenance is not there to keep it replenished. \nAnd I think that’d be a great study to do and just. You said there’s some sand there. Does it just go away? \nDoes it just get flooded? But I don’t know\, I think we’re entering into an era where\, you know\, maintenance is getting really difficult and every city is seems to be overwhelmed with the maintenance they they already have. \nSo I love the beach\, but I’m not. I don’t know the idea of having to truck in sand on a regular basis doesn’t seem\, you know\, maybe that appealing or. \nI don’t know how realistic that is. Gary\, can we just jump maybe to Cody? \nCause what was your reaction to the materials we’ve got on the beach? Do you need to see more detail or? \nWhat’s your what’s your reaction given your? Other beaches along the southern\, edge of Alameda that seem to self-maintain relatively successfully. \nThat this area is unique and that it’s so bound by hardscape. That I’m not sure where the source of sand\, where the sand is going\, where it’s coming from\, but I do know that along Crab Cove\, you see the beach change over time and as as with some exceptions\, maintain itself. \nRight. Okay\, that’s helpful. Thank you. So\, you know\, beyond that. \nDetail. I mean\, I think the adaptation plan is exemplary. I love the way the project. \nIs reusing materials on site and embraces the change as the adaptation and the fact that it can improve or become more of a habitat while also adapting. \nIs brilliant and I think it’s realistic and it’s pragmatic. And the idea that the you know\, the concrete walkway can be becomes a foundation for a future pathway that can easily be raised. \nI mean\, to me that just is so beautifully logical. That I\, I think I have a lot of confidence in what’s been. \nPresented and you know\, as far as the comments by the speakers\, I mean\, thank you for your comments. \nI\, there’s almost nothing I heard that I don’t agree with a hundred percent I mean I think that urban areas are overrun with with with dogs and you know if the fishing is a problem I think I don’t know what is our ability to comment or mandate\, you know\, no dogs or no fishing or whatever\, but I think it should be considered and I think you know it kind of in a way is that. \nCross purposes with the main mission of the of the parks. So I I really agree with that and and I think that there can be some some open spaces public open spaces in the Bay Area that don’t have dogs. \nI think that’s okay. I think it’s \nGary\, can I chime in? Others please weigh in too. I think one of the beautiful aspects of the design. \nWith the 1\,700 foot long walkway out to where the Guys are currently parking their cars and fishing. \nI think there may be some self selection. I mean\, I do support having some. Clear guidance and\, well\, not even guidance mandate if that’s if that’s\, if that can be done. \nEffectively and I think it probably can but I’m really hopeful that the people who currently fish there and I support people being able to fish and as people made the comments you know I think they agree if people want to fish there should be places that they can fish from but this is not one of those places and I think the design is going to really help. \nAccomplish that and the fishermen can go somewhere else where they can. Pack their car and fish. So I\, and\, I think\, you know\, the question about dogs\, obviously that needs some real\, guidance on that point\, but. \nBut I like the fact that the design is assisting in some of these objectives. Yeah\, that’s a great point. \nSo I do\, I do think it’s an exemplary project. I think that it will serve as an example. \nYou know\, we see a lot of communities where\, you know\, we’re reviewing sites. Communities that are doubling down on marginal sites for long-term development that will ensure expensive mitigation for as long as you know we can see into the future. \nAnd the fact that this project is seeing it differently I think is a amazing inspiration for the area. So I’ll leave it at that. \nThank you. Oh\, Stefan. Yeah\, I went just\, again\, thank you for a great presentation. \nAnd this is maybe the second or third. Project that we’ve seen that is sort of thinking about. \nThe shoreline as an opportunity to sort of subtract and revert a portion back to nature. And I think that’s just really\, again\, exemplary. \nThis is clearly sort of the largest scaled. Proposal that we’ve seen. I want to see something about public access. \nAnd I also want to say something else\, but just to try to sort of put a Put a bow on this discussion that we’re having. \nI think that the party of public access is really strong and I really command that. And\, the idea that you would maintain sort of equitable public access for the entire length of the park. \nI really appreciate that. This idea of creating a public space that can nurture. In an increase in habitat. \nFrom what we see there today. It seems really difficult to make that decision today about Should this. Should this park be? \nPrimarily for birds or primarily for people or primarily\, for fishermen\, fisher people\, however you want to say it. \nIn my mind what seems more important is that there’s sort of a management structure and a stewardship structure that can actually adapt. \nThe use of the park over time. In the same way that the users of the space today didn’t have access to it 50 years ago. \nBecause it wasn’t public at all. And so I would sort of wanna be careful with the like. \nMaybe predetermining the balance. Between public access. And wildlife compatibility today. But I think it’s really important that that’s monitored. \nIn the same way that DGNRA and other stewards around the bay have been actively making these decisions to respond to. \nIncreases in habitat populations or challenges\, the certain habitat populations and sort of how that actually mixes with dogs and the success of places. \nThere’s certainly value to. \nBringing public access and bringing people to a space where they can actually see the functioning of the bay. \nWhen we understand how limited those are. And just the value of that for a population that needs to learn and understand. \nWhat’s happening to the Bay. I think it’s hard to. I think it’s hard for us to lose sight of that. \nThe other thing I think that I’m struggling with is I shouldn’t say struggling because I think this is sort of a challenge is this idea that The site is being reinterpreted. \nFrom a runway. Environment to something different that we’re seeing today. And so I’m curious about sort of the historic orientation to that. \nAnd this idea that you can actually now be in the space that used to be the sort of\, it’s totally fabricated. \nIt’s this military structure and you’re sort of Taking pieces of that away and creating this nature\, but How do we interpret that? \nHow do we learn about it? Are there? Is that exclusive to the learning center? Is there other places that that can be interpreted. \nIs there sort of. Like. You know\, this kind of interpretation where somebody’s telling you how to view the site\, is there other stuff about like at how you interpret the ground plane and where you just know where you learn and sort of understand. \nI can look at the concrete and I understand what that used to be. Versus look at the Deacon Post granted and I understand that that’s actually what’s been changed. \nThat whole sort of like morphological interpretation\, I think there’s a huge value. To that because \nWe don’t\, we don’t necessarily realize people not realize that this portion of the bay was just bay. \nAnd so now you’re creating like a second nature which. You can tell people about the history of what people made and then decided to subtract. \nThat’s also sort of makes it very unique and valuable\, but that historic layer and who manages that\, who tells about it\, who has that expertise I think is. \nReally important and to Gary’s point this starts to get beyond like what cities do. So I think it’s just really important to continue to kind of foster the right stewardship for these kinds of places. \nI’m gonna stop talking there\, but that’s what’s on my mind. Yeah\, can I can I just say really quickly? \nI mean one of the things I really love is is that it preserves that one piece of concrete which really maintains the historic\, you know\, military edge\, you know\, that crisp industrial edge. \nWell\, wilding the site so you’re kind of having it both ways. I mean there’s a pretty strong you know pedestrian runway now that that\, you know\, keeps that edge intact for. \nA very long time. \nOkay. Cody\, comments. \nYeah\, I\, it makes me think of a couple of adjacencies. One\, I know the site really well. \nI taught myself to write a motorcycle on this pavement that you’ll be removing. \nI’m still a big fan of removing the thing but it’s it’s a heavily used site there have not all the activities that have happened there have been things that are building community. \nThere’s been a fair amount of \nRequirements for law enforcement\, right? Maintenance and law enforcement. I thought it was going to be a sideshow preserve for some time and I applaud the city for not making it a Seijo preserve. \nI think it’s a genuinely exciting site in a in an area that. It has a lot of direct community benefits in an area that where the community is growing. \nI’m the civil engineer\, so I have to ask simple engineering questions. It’s difficult for even those of us in the design community to really understand what sea level rise resilience looks like and what it will look like after we’re gone. \nBut the sections that we draw. You know they’re they’re based on the best available data we have. \nAnd that will change over time and the implementations will adapt as we get better data. But I\, when I see these plans and I look at how the\, the park would integrate into these future levies. \nYou know\, it’s the future levies that always I think make us scratch our hands is what is what is that ultimately really look and feel like? \nSo it’s not necessarily a comment on the design of this part\, which I think is really. Really thoughtful and already captivating. \nBut it’s more a thought of how does this\, how does the adaptation of this community over time. \nThe adjacencies to this park and this park. What does it really start to look and feel like? \nBecause it’s. I just don’t think any of us really get it. And whether you’re in East Palo Alto. \nOr you’re out of the\, to point. What does it look like when we build these levies up to 16 and a half? \nAnd\, I don’t necessarily have a comment on how the park is laid out to best. \nMake that up\, that adaptation is\, thoughtful as possible. But\, yeah\, it’s sort of the first thing that comes to mind is I see this\, levy shooting out to the west and shooting out to the east. \nTrying to wrap my brain around\, you know\, what does that really look and feel like over time? So. \nI’ll stop my comments there. Otherwise I’m a I’m a big proponent. \nI’ve spent more time on the specific site than I care to admit. I haven’t fished from there. \nI haven’t burned rubber in my car\, but I can when I first saw the plans I was very excited about what this place can be. \nSo Cudi\, I have a follow-up question. You know\, we were asking question 3. \nYou know\, what would be a trigger for initiating sea level rise adaptation measures and I’m just curious\, are you starting to really Analyze that at this stage. \nWell\, I think we all rely on the best available data. Right? And when we project out\, to 2050 and beyond the accuracy the precision of that data diminishes. \nRight\, so I think that the. We have to have some faith in how the design community will continue to. \nTo respond to to the available data. And we’re not it’s not gonna be an isolated case where we see it that will be a point. \nWe’re gonna see it everywhere. So I think it’s probably really difficult to assign prescriptive measures for any any given site\, but I do think that I mean\, guess there’s a lot of faith in the future communities of leaders and designers. \nTo be as thoughtful or more thoughtful than we’re able to be now about how to respond to the evidence. \nContinue to collect and and review data and then respond in time because you’re not gonna you’re not gonna be able to build this elevated platform. \nWhen it’s underwater\, you know\, half the year. Yeah\, I mean\, I’ve got to believe that the The tree is going to be centered around valuation of risk\, you know\, people. \nCould\, you know\, could injure themselves or be killed\, you know\, fall in water\, you know\, and then sort of frequency of inundation and I don’t know how much work is being done at this point. \nBut I’m sure cities around the Bay are thinking about that even though it is still some years off. \nCan I just mention maybe a really good precedent for that would be the\, Sausalito Mill Valley path\, which accommodates thousands of bikers I think on weekends and it floods you know regularly I mean you didn’t use staff to check the tides before you went for bicycle ride\, but now that’s getting more common. \nSo at some point\, you know\, it’s going to get inconvenient and\, and I think it’s self regulating. \nThat’s a great point\, Gary. Thank you. I’d like to begin by thanking the members of the public that have joined us this evening. \nI think it’s always a really important part for us to hear one’s voice. As residents\, neighbors\, users. \nI think it’s really important. And one of the things I think that really struck me was \nIt really made me wonder about the term or the usage of the word park. Because I think it’s a bit of a loaded word and I think that we think about these things in certain ways. \nBecause I think a lot of the conversation has been about and I think it’s very important one is How do we strike this balance? \nBetween creating a place that’s good for people and a place that’s really puts nature out first. \nAnd I think\, you know\, when most people think of parks\, they think of about being supporting people’s people like human activity first. \nAnd I think with this project. I think part of what we love so much about it is that it is trying to allow people access to witness natural processes at work and it’s really about nature first and I think that’s really important and and I think we need to think about it as being nature first and I that’s where I think we really appreciate about it. \nSo I agree if there’s ways to. Manage the human activities to try and allow nature to be. \nReally protected and to succeed on its own. I think that’s really important if we can. \nAnd find a way forward. On the question of adaptation. I think it’s\, I think there’s another thing about parks\, which again\, maybe I don’t know if it’s nineteenth or eighteenth century thinking but there’s a sense of the the permanence of these things that the desire for them to be something that is accessible to us and to future generations all time. \nAnd I think really we’re in a world today and particularly in a place like this where sea level rise happens that adaptability is this notion of adaptability or resilience. \nI think it’s really about the changeability that nature is constantly in flux and particularly these days and perhaps the flux is something that’s human-induced but The fact that the park could retreat could. \nBe adjusted by future generations\, I think is actually appropriate. It’s the way we should be thinking about the edges. \nOf where we build where it meets nature. We should really allow for that line to be a soft one. \nYou know\, nature doesn’t very rarely works in hard lines. It’s always gradual transitions from one thing to the other. \nAnd I think that’s what this park is trying to do\, even the beach\, I think. How’s that opportunity to be something that It’s there probably because there’s some currents or some sands that are allowing that to be deposited into. \nExtend that a bit\, but I don’t what I’m not hearing and I don’t think we should be is. \nOh\, it’s gonna be permanent. Something that’s going to be protected forever and ever. It’s if it gets in the data eventually then that’s what nature wanted. \nRight? So I think that kind of soft approach is really what this project calls for and the way we should be thinking about these kinds of spaces these days. \nSo. And then\, so when it comes to this question of event frequency and triggers\, I think it’s really. \nWe’re gonna have to see what. I’m hoping that future generate we’ve learned enough to know that. \nWe really need to take our cues in these kinds of places from what nature is telling us and to listen and not try to. \nPut the human stamp on it. So\, I think we have to put a little bit of faith in our future leaders to to be sensitive and to recognize that. \nGood. Thank you. Tom\, comments. On these questions. \nYeah. \nBut everybody said everything already. Okay\, I would just touch for a minute. On the assumptions that are built into both. \nHe’s big levees that Cody was talking about. And the. Continual assumption about what a park program is supposed to be. \nAnd that we treat every park. With the same list of of concerns and demands on And\, I don’t think it should be that way. \nI think this one here in terms of. How it reaches apart? Should be very\, it’s a very raw and almost severe idea here\, which is all we’re doing is removing and chopping up concrete. \nIt has a coolness\, but that you don’t wanna lose by softening too much. First I was worried\, but I think that It needs to just be dim\, demonstrating the the rawness of ripping up concrete and stacking in a few places and then declare a really clear purpose that it’s going to be\, I think in this case\, Why not test it for the birds for the for the least turn? \nIt’s easily adaptable to something else that doesn’t work\, but it’s going to have a clear purpose. \nYou don’t know why it’s there\, I think. I would navigate for very\, very heavy on. \nYou know\, making all that work. They were the dogs\, get rid of the fishing. Give it the best chance it can and then if it’s not so great. \nIn the future\, you don’t know\, you can. Change it. Also I thought\, Stefan raised an interesting point\, you know\, about interpretation. \nWho’s going to tell this story? I don’t know. Who’s got money or or timer? \nExperts use to do that. The could be some something done like that. There could be something that BCDC concerned itself with\, you know. \nBcds was started. By people that were saving the bay and then Ron Blatman\, you\, and\, our friend Ron Blatman. \nHmm. \nHe\, he\, he did that series saving the bay. And it was about about. \nNot fill it. And this is about something different\, like saving the bay too. Ought to tell the story. \nThere ought to be somebody that’s doing this that’s kind of in charge that this is like the documentarian of the this and this is a great example of one chapter in a in a thing like that and I think it could be the charge of BCDs to think about. \nWho’s telling this story and how? It’s critically important to advancing the us. That’s it. \nThanks\, Tom. Okay\, I just want to make a couple of comments myself. And I don’t want to repeat what other people have said because it’s been said very elegantly. \nI do wanna comment just pick up on question for the question of public access and You know\, I’m really persuaded by what we heard that the\, you know\, It is about nature. \nConstructed elements should be secondary. I don’t think that we need to be too concerned about\, you know. \nStructures for weather protection. I don’t think this is that kind of park. I think it’s it’s something else and there are Fabulous\, really great. \nAreas of public space that are being built. Just me here where there’s protection and lots of opportunities for people who want shade and so on. \nSo. You know\, this is\, this is about something else. So I don’t have a concern that\, you know\, I think the design is going in the right direction\, with that approach. \nAnd I also\, I mean\, just\, I was just thinking about how often we are. Reviewing typically reviewing Bay Trail and we talk about safety of\, you know\, commuter cycling or cycling versus pedestrians. \nAnd maintenance and operations. And again\, I think in this park\, if this is something that is not so relevant here\, not relevant actually. \nSo there is a a generously proportioned space that goes 1\,700 feet. Out along beer to the water. \nAnd people will. So-organized and people will It’s their have their children with their bicycles\, they can be on the bicycles\, if they’re walking they can be walking. \nAnd I think that is perfectly. Fine in\, I don’t think we need to have\, you know\, strips of planting to delineate. \nThe bicycles and so on. And\, because to the point about stewardship. \nI see. Time. This park will evolve\, these spaces will evolve. So I’m not really concerned about the issues that we are often quite concerned about for for different reasons. \nThere is one thing that I want to emphasize that\, someone spoke about\, at some lengths. \nI\, do think that the the distance is fairly significant for people who have accessibility concerns I think just being very confident that people can get across a long stretch of decomposed granite and that that decompose granite will be maintained data quickly and be stable and so on is important. \nIt sounds like a real detail at this stage\, but I think you know\, the big moves of\, surfacing\, being established at this point in the design. \nSo. I would just encourage you to think about that. And Yeah\, I\, the points are being made about the beach. \nI was just looking at these questions for anything else. We should be\, commenting on\, but I think everything has been said very clearly. \nSo look\, I think that concludes. The board discussion. Do you want me to highlight critical points or are you fine\, Ashley\, with what’s been said? \nGreat. One thing I know. Yes. Yeah\, I just the interpretation thing that Stefan and Tom\, we’re talking about. \nAfter working with the Torium for 15 years. I mean\, I think I’m a proponent of. \nTo some extent of non didactic learning like self-discovery and I was thinking about how the marina green You know\, at a low tide you can see\, you know\, the landfill\, you know\, call on Corinthian capitals and keystones\, you know\, all the rubble from the earthquake. \nWhich is kind of which shows itself at low tide and there’s something about No visiting there\, you know\, 10 times or 20 times and then all of a sudden you discover this and start asking the question like\, well\, how did that\, you know\, how did those old building parts get down there and then you\, you know\, it tells a whole story about the marina. \nSo anyway\, I rather than signage\, I don’t I’m not sure that that’s what you were referring to\, but but I think there’s kind of a beauty in letting it be what it’s going to be. \nAnd there’s plenty of runway out there for people to. You know\, just to build on that too on the question of stewardship. \nI mean\, it’s so inspiring to see so many of you from the community here tonight speaking about stewardship really and so I think we already have the beginning of\, you know\, and perhaps the core. \nYou know\, what will become an important part of long term stewardship of the park\, which is really strong community advocacy and involvement and dialogue. \nContinued dialogue with the city really close dialogue to address. Questions and potentially management issues\, which as Stefan pointed out\, you know\, might not be here today. \nBut in 20 years time there may be a raft of different issues that are being dealt with. So I think that\, you know\, whether there’s some formalization of that as this design and this process continues. \nYou know for you all to think about but i’m really pleased to see this level of commitment from the community. \nIt both very well for project. Okay\, so look with that\, I think we’ll wrap up the. \nThe board discussion. And at this point. We can move to a project proponent response Would the team like to respond or comment on what’s been? \nDiscuss tonight. I just wanna say thank you very much. This went. Exactly as we had hoped. \nA great insight and ideas. Welcome the board to the DPA. Project team. Thank you to the community for you guys showing up. \nYou guys are always great. So we have a lot of work to do and you know as I said We’ll be trying to wrap up 30% design in this spring and then we’ll have a lot of activity around. \nFundraising to try and get money to actually. Make it happen And from the city’s perspective\, I just want to thank you all for your time and your thoughtful comments. \nWe’ve been excited to bring this project forward. And we’re going to be continuing to be just as excited to have this project built. \nSo thank you very much for your time. Thank you. Thank you for making the trip over from Alameda to here too. \nIt is so much better to be able to see people and talk about. The issues face to face. \nSo. Thank you. \nYeah. Yeah\, there is a question. Do we want to see this project again? \nI don’t\, you know\, I know we often need a second review\, but given what we have. \nYou know\, given the presentation\, the comments that we’ve made back \nI don’t think we need to see it again. Unless it would be helpful to you to come and have a another conversation at some point during the process. \nSo Do others agree with me on this or? Yep. \nI would have confidence in this team to do it. \nAccording to what’s what we’ve seen \nOkay\, so yeah\, so we don’t need to see this project again\, but we would certainly like to keep. \nTrack of it. And stay in touch with you on it. Yeah. \nIs that okay with you? Good. And we’ll the staff will follow through on all of the points we’ve made tonight. \nThank you. Okay. Look\, we’ll take a 5 min break to set up and we’ll try and keep it to 5 min so that we can get started with the second review. \nThank you. Access. \nOkay. \nOkay. Yeah. Yes. Okay. \nOkay. Nice to meet you in person. Thanks for your support. We differ to local jurisdictions. \nThat is all you. Sounds good. Okay. We’re gonna. \nYeah. Okay. Okay. Yeah. \nIt’s great. \nWe’re going to continue with the second part of the meeting now. Welcome. And this is the second review of the 13\, point\, 0\, one\, shoreway life sciences development project. \nAnd. We are all familiar with the order but I’ll just run through it very quickly. \nWe’ll have BCDC staff do an introduction overview\, you will then present. We’ll have clarifying questions\, public comment\, board discussion and summary and then a brief response. \nWe appreciate you coming back and for the additional work that you’ve done. And we’re looking forward to hearing. \nThe issues that we raised last time addressed so with that We’ll\, hand over to our permanent analyst who is Shruti for this project. \nSo Shr\, please go ahead. \nThank you. Chair McCann and good evening board members. My name is Shruti Sinha. \nI am a permanent analyst at BCDC. The second project for review tonight is a life sciences redevelopment project in Vermont proposed by 4 coronals. \n4 coroner’s properties. Please note that the staff report that was mailed out\, ously indicated that this will be the project’s first DRB review. \nIn fact\, the project was first reviewed by the DRB in August\, the twentieth. 23 and tonight will be the project’s second review. \nBefore we discuss the project\, we would like to acknowledge that the majority of the land in this area was once water and historic tidal flats. \nLocated near Lampson. The unseated ancestral homeland of the Rahmatush Oloni. \nWe offer gratitude to the indigenous peoples who are the original stewards of the Bountiful Natural Resources of the Bay Area. \n1301 shoreway is a 6.9 one acre site at 1301 showway road in the city of Vermont\, San Mateo County. \nJust outside of the Redwood Chores waterfront community. \nThe satellite map on the right shows the project site outlined in yellow. The project site is bounded by some lane to the northwest. \nShorway Road to the Southwest. A PG and E substation to the south. And Vermont Creek to the east. \nThe site shares the Vermont Creek shoreline with 10 Twin Dolphin and 200 Twin Dolphin. \nBoth reviewed by the DRB. \nIn 2022. Sure way road is adjacent to and runs parallel with Highway One. \nThe existing permit for the project site was originally issued in 1\,982 in association with the construction of a 48\,000 square foot building which is now a medical office building. \nThe permit was amended once for construction of a private sports court. The overall public access requirements of the permit include. \nAppropriate landscaping. A 10 foot wide pedestrian path. No fewer than 3 benches. No fewer than 2 public access signs. \nAnd an 8 foot wide connector path on the north side of the tennis court. \nThis is a Google Street View capture of the site from Shawway Road from the 101 freeway. \nThe project site is shown at the center with a hotel campus to the northwest and a PG and E substation to the southeast. \nThis Google Street View capture of the site. \nIs from Sem Lane\, which terminates here. To the right you can see the parking lot of 1\,301 of the 1301 shoreway campus to the left is the existing Vermont creek trailhead marked by a public shore sign. \nThis is a photo of Vermont Creek from a staff site visit in 2\,022. It was taken from Shawway Road\, north of the 1301 shoreway site. \nIn this photo\, 13 or one shore away would be to the right of the frame as indicated. The creek is at the center\, flanked by marsh vegetation. \nAnd the building on the left is 10 twin dolphin\, also known as the former Oracle campus\, a project previously reviewed by the DRB as mentioned. \nThis slide provides some regional context for parks and public access areas in the vicinity. \nThe project side is outlined in yellow. Public access paths are shown in purple lines while the bay trail is shown in a thick blue line. \nArea shaded in dark green represent BCDC priority use areas for wildlife purposes. And areas shaded in light green represent public parks. \nAdjacent project sites\, 10 Twin Dolphin and 200 Twin Dolphin. \nCan be seen to the north and south of the project site. \nWith respect to the social setting of the project location\, the area is largely dominated by office buildings. Then BCdc’s community vulnerability mapping tool shows the project area as having moderate social vulnerability. \nAnd lower contamination vulnerability. \nIn this area\, the social vulnerability indicators in the seventieth percentile are for people with no vehicle. \nPeople with a disability. People of color. People with limited English proficiency and people with very low income. \nNote that there are some areas to the West that are identified as having high and highest social vulnerability. \nVulnerability indicators in the seventieth percentile for this higher vulnerability area includes children under 5. \nPeople over 65 and alone. People with no high school degree. People with limited English proficiency. \nAnd people\, people who are not US citizens and people with very low income. \nMoving on to sea level rise. BC DC’s Flood Explorer Map shows what 24 inches of sea level rise would look like if the site remained unchanged. \nThe site is outlined in yellow for the medium to high risk aversion scenario. 24 inches of sea level rise is equivalent to the mean higher high water level. \nWhich would not cause any flooding on the site. \nHere’s a zoomed out picture of the map\, the same map showing. Flooding in surrounding areas at 24 inches of sea level rise. \nThis map shows with 66 inches of sea level rise would look like at the site. If the site remained unchanged. \nHere again\, the project side is outlined in yellow. For the medium to high risk conversion scenario\, 66 inches of sea level rise is equivalent to the 100 year storm at mid century. \nAnd mean higher high water. In the year 2090. As you can see\, 66 inches of sea level rise would cause overtopping at the project site. \nThis is a summary of the Bay Pine policies and guidelines that apply to this project. The proposal should provide public access that is clearly visible. \nUsable\, visually accessible. Complementary to the visual quality of the bay\, shoreline and surroundings. \nConnective and takes advantage of the base setting. \nIn addition\, Steph\, we’ve also included some questions by staff that we would like the board to consider. \nSpecifically\, we would like the board to consider the legibility and public feel of the proposed public access. \nAny additional ideas for public access improvement. The legibility of connections to and through the site for pedestrians and cyclists. \nThe adequacy of the revised signage plan. \nOur apologies. We seem to have. Been disconnected from the presentation. I was trying to share it again. \nNo\, but that was our very last slide. And I only had one other thing to add was that the\, we would like the board to consider the advocacy of the revised signage\, plan and possible triggers for flood adaptation measures at the site. \nAt this point\, does the board have any clarifying questions? \nNone for me. Does anyone else have clarifying questions? \nNo. In that case\, I will turn the floor over to Renee Behan of SWA to present the project. \nThank you\, Streaty. \nThank you. Distinguished board members\, BCDC staff and members of the public. It’s my honor to present 1301 shoreway. \nI’m presenting today on behalf of\, our client\, 4 Corner property who owns it and also representing the larger consultant team joined by Craig Bachelor from DGA Architecture. \nBKF\, Raquel Fontas\, and Moffat Nichols who are on the zoom and available if need be. \nThis is our second presentation and I’d like to maybe start by thanking\, BCDC staff\, Shruti\, and Ashley for all of their assistance. \nAlso very much appreciate the first round of comments from our August meeting. For those who weren’t here\, I’ll try to make sure you have all of the same information through this presentation. \nI thought we had a fairly positive feedback and review. I think the question was a level of detail\, you know\, more detail about the architecture\, more detail about the architecture\, more detail about the architecture\, more detail about the and specificity about the program\, clarification about flood risk. \nRelationship to courtyard and of course the potential accessibility of the private sports court for the users of the DCDC path. \nI’ll try to address all of those issues through the presentation today. \nAnd also\, Try to not be too\, repetitive of the presentation BCTC just gave. \nYou know\, our site located off 101 sits on this important kind of apex between not just Vermont but the city of San Carlos and Redwood City itself. \nVermont Creek itself outlined in blue kind of goes across all 3 entities\, Vermont\, San Carlos\, and Redwood City. \nThe park\, the site itself is adjacent to 200 twin dolphin and 10 twin dolphin. \nAnd I will say that we lean heavily on those approved submittals to make sure that this was designed as a single. \nEcology in terms of plant life materiality\, accessibility\, and we do plan to continue to work with those other groups to develop more of a regional signage and wayfinding system. \nTo the dash purple\, you can see\, the BCDC lot\, I’m sorry\, the Bay Trail itself. \nWhich we do not connect to directly\, but\, are adjacent to. \nOur city\, one of the unique things about our BCDC development is that actually our property owners do not actually own. \nThe parcel that is currently designed that is owned by SBCA. Which has fully endorsed through letters and communication with BCDC\, the plan that we’re submitting. \nAs Truthy mentioned\, to the south is the PG and E transformer. \nSite to the north is Sem Lane and Vermont’s corporate yard beyond that shoreway road and 100\, and one to the south. \nThe maybe a little clarification of what Truthy presented\, the original plan accessible area in purple originally submitted in 1\,981 in 1985 that plan was amended to include a private tennis court that you see in the upper. \nRight hand detailed blowup. Our site has an existing trail and as I mentioned\, it does not connect directly to the larger bay trail. \nIt’s a little bit of a one off. You enter the trail\, the trail head is at the end of Sam Lane. \nAnd then it comes out just west of 1010 twin dolphin drive. The bubbles show that if you cross the street crossing\, twin dolphin drive\, you can\, connect to\, to the larger bay trail. \nAs Truthy mentioned\, our site is just under 7 acres. The\, you can see that BCDC jurisdiction line. \nThere are 3 seating nodes\, which I’ll demonstrate in a minute here. An existing creek trail. \nAccess\, icular access is off of both shoreway and Sem Lane currently. \nViews pulled back first from the 101 the creek itself is not detectable from this area. \nIt’s it’s about 600 feet off of shoreway drive. There’s no visible connection and it’s it’s a little bit of a walk without much signage upfront. \nWay. Again\, there’s no indication that there’s actually a trail down there from a shore way. \nAnd so you can see the images looking down. Looking at the existing building and then looking at the parcel adjacent to the PG and E. \nSubstation. \nFrom the site itself currently in a bit of disrepair the trail head in the upper right hand corner one of the seating and trash nodes\, one of 3\, they’re all pretty much. \nIn the same condition and then the slightly improved node adjacent to the private tennis courts down in the lower right. \nJust a little bit more. The trail has\, although it’s actually in pretty firm\, pretty good shape\, it’s accessible. \nYou could\, you could easily roll a\, a bike or a wheelchair\, through it. \nBut again\, I think the biggest issue is just identity and kind of getting people to understand that this is a public place and you’re welcome to join. \nFlood map in the larger area. I think last meeting we clarified that that FEMA levy is on the other side of the creek in the Redwood City side. \nOur site is in a zone X\, which is a minimal flood hazard. Currently the site is more or less at 10 with the existing a trail sitting between elevation 10 and 11 5. \nOur proposal is to bring the minimal height. Up at the trail to 12.5. And then to have some variation. \nSo it would basically vary between 12 5 and elevation 15. And I think this is one of the one of the questions that you guys had last time in terms of. \nHow the grading\, the burning\, the accessibility kind of ties new to old. Buildings will be elevated to elevation 12 per the city of Vermont regulation. \nI’m consistent with FEMA and again our minimal elevation would be 12 5 with the burning. \nGoing up as high as 15 and then meandering between 1413 and down to the 12 5. Little more detail of the contouring. \nThe path itself will remain relatively flat other than the connection to some lane. Where you basically slope the walkway down to meet grade. \nSome data on what’s being proposed existing\, ing proposed obviously the site remains 6.9 acres publicly accessible DCDC space is going from 57.6 to 83.6. \nLandscape area is increasing from 51\,000 to 56\,000. DG path and program nodes increasing from 6\,500 to 9\,100. \nMulti-use sports court. Which we are making publicly accessible is an additional 4\,700 feet. \nThe auxiliary sports court kind of the workout area adjacent to it is an additional 5\,008 8 5\,800 feet. \nBike spaces we’re adding 10 public parking spaces we’re dating 3 sidewalk\, new sidewalk. \nAlong some lane\, which will demonstrate is an additional 7\,700 square feet of accessible space. The bench seating going from 8 to 19. \nGoing from 2 to 4 signs and adding 2 fitness nodes. We’ll get into the details on that as we go through the presentation. \nSo again\, from a grading perspective\, existing grade on site\, 10 more or less at 10. And at the berm more or less 11. \nGoing to a minimum\, 12 5 at the berm and the buildings go up to 12. \nThese are the key to the sections are up in the\, in the upper right hand corner. So this is through the first building. \nSecond\, the wrong way. Second section is through the courtyard. And again\, the courtyard going up to 14. \nThe berm is going up to 14. Along the BCDC easement and up to 1415 in areas of the courtyard as well. \nAnd then adjacent to the parking structure\, again\, 12. And then going up as high as 15 when we go adjacent to the PG and E. \nTransformer station. \nOn the question\, so this satisfies\, Bcdc’s\, 2\,000\, and 50 requirement on the question of 2\,100 you know is there advocate room to go up an additional 6 feet. \nYes\, there is taking a 3 to one slope up from the existing top of bank. We can easily hit elevation 18. \nAnd accessibility from the parking lot is not an issue. That we would also be willing to work\, you know\, 2050 and beyond with adjacent property owners. \nIf there was another approach to developed in\, in time. \nThe signage program\, we’re adding for signage starting again at the beginning of some lane with just kind of a identity sign that there’s a public shore in this area. \nThe first node at the end of science some is more of an educational wayfinding regional wayfinding hoping to orient people to where they are and how to get to the larger trail system. \nFocusing on birds. Naturalized birds in the area in the third node and then focusing on plant and plant life in the fourth. \nNote for the signage. So again\, existing. Existing intersection on SEM and shoreway\, no sign\, no walkway. \nNo. Kind of clues whatsoever. That there’s a path. And then the\, the proposed. \n6 foot walkway from shoreway all the way back. Public signage and you can see the new building starting to come into the landscape here. \nAbout halfway down the block is the courtyard between the 2 buildings. You see the parking structure in the background. \nSo there’s basically a space where the 2 lobbies face each other and there’s an amenity space for. \nThe building users. And\, you continue your access for the BCDC easement. Second signage at the end of some lane is kind of an active note. It’s where you park. \nIt’s where you deal with your bike in terms of repairs or parking and that sort of thing. \nIt’s also where you orient yourself. So that’s sorry. This includes a Parker Station\, the first of 3 stations along the court. \nSo we’ll get into the detail in this in a second\, but just to snippet of what you’ll find at the end of some lane as you approach on your bike or park your car. \nOr take the new walkway down to the area. The second node as we said\, this is a more passive node. \nThere’ll be informational signage about burning bird life along the material here. Just a snippet of the kind of larger regional landscape will be included. \nIn that\, in the development. The third node has orientation back into the architectural courtyard. \nThe private courtyard\, but also designed as a passive node preceding. Additional signage and information. \nStorytelling about plant life along the Bay Area. And then finally\, the sports court area. \nAs I mentioned\, we are going to open the court to the to the public in addition to being developed as a\, to the public\, in addition to being developed as a multi-use court\, to the public\, in addition to being developed as a multi-use court. \nThere’s a manetized se \nSo\, a little bit more detail now on each node. The first node will include a bicycle repair station\, a fitness node\, again educational way finding signage. \n10 bike parking spaces and 3 vehicle spaces as well as a new entry to the to the path itself. Fully accessible. \nSo existing condition at the end of Sem and the trail head. And the proposed condition. New buildings off to the right. \nThe next node\, is where there’s visual connectivity. To the existing courtyard. \nAgain\, the idea here is to continue with the decomposed granite trail. Develop a unique signage program for the plant life of the area\, provide seating\, I’m trying to use natural material\, wood\, and other materials that kind of support the sense of a natural space. \nExisting node and sitting area looking back to the parking area and the proposed node. And although\, you know\, the courtyard itself is going to remain private\, It’s a singular ecology. \nIt’s the same plant material\, same plant life carried from the creek through and into the project itself. \nAnd then\, finally the sports court itself\, I think\, on your recommendation\, which was a good one\, to give a little bit of scale and variety\, we combined 2 nodes with the existing sports court in this case. \nSo the space is very flexible. It can be used\, you know\, basketball\, paddle ball. \nIt has the exercise nodes and it also has ample seating around the perimeter. \nSo the proposed sports court. Fencing on the PG and E. And outer property line but open both to the to the trail. \nTo the trail to the north and to the west. \nAgain\, the parkour area\, it’s one of 4\, 4 along the trail. \nExisting plant leaf\, plant life\, trees anyway\, that our verse report has\, deemed\, the existing plant to be either in poor or very poor condition. \nThere’s no trees that we deem\, are necessary to\, salvage out there. So we’re adding a substantial. \nNew and improved. Plant palette and by improved\, I mean plants that are more appropriate for the environment. \nA lot of plants\, a lot of trees adjacent to the PG and E station and the parking garage and then with greater transparency obviously as you get to the courtyards itself. \nAgain\, same plant material on the trail and in the courtyard so that there’s both visual and ecological connectivity between the spaces. \nPlant pellet. It’s and again this is similar to the plant palette at 210 twin dolphin drive. \nAnd then the ground cover pellet itself. \nSo in summary\, That’s our presentation. Hopefully\, we were successful in giving you a better sense of what’s being proposed. \nBoth from a physical and emotional perspective of how the project feels. \nYeah. Okay\, thank you very much. That was very helpful. I was not at the original\, first presentation\, but from reading meeting notes\, I think you’ve put a lot of effort into communicating more detail\, which was a significant part of the comments previously. \nSo with that\, are there any questions from the board clarifying questions from the proponent? \nTo the proponent. \nAny questions? Yeah. Yeah\, thank you for the presentation. Thank you for coming back. \nOne question I had and I don’t remember if it was answer. Thank you for coming back. One question I had and I don’t remember if it was answered in the first meeting was you What is the anticipated maintenance of the area going forward. \nSo that it doesn’t fall into the kind of similar state of disrepair. \nYeah. Shorthy\, can you help me answer that? Is there a maintenance agreement? In place. \nThe final permit will include a maintenance condition. But. The. \nThe\, the applicants who will become the permitting. Can can determine how that will. \nHow that will take place. That agreement can be an internal agreement\, but they as co-permitees\, they will both be held to that maintenance condition. \nI think just speaking practically\, it’s absolutely in their best interest to make sure that it is maintained and doesn’t fall into disrepair. \nOkay\, thanks. Yeah. I think that’s my only question right now. \nTom\, any questions? \nNone for me. That’s pretty clear to me. \nOkay\, I just had one question about the multi purpose court. I don’t know how things work in Vermont\, but in San Francisco\, city of San Francisco\, Parks and Rick have a booking site\, you know\, where you can book courts and so you know that that courts available. \nIs there a similar system in the city of Vermont? We’re currently in discussion with the city and with Vermont in terms of how best to do that. \nThey they actually we presented this updated presentation last week and they were They asked the same question and they also are worried about\, well\, is it too open now? \nYou know\, are you going to get graffiti and that sort of thing? And I\, I don’t think so. \nI’ve worked in the area for decades and this is not a high crime or a graffiti kind of type of neighborhood. \nI think part of it is balancing the programs that are provided. For the communities that live in the area\, the communities that Shruti was mentioning. \nWell\, at the same time making sure that the courts are getting ample use. In other words\, we talked about paddle ball\, but we’re a little bit worried about that paddle ball will kind of overrun all the other programs that could happen here. Right. \nAnd\, yeah\, I mean. Some of these activities come and go as well. So. You know\, got to think long term\, but yeah\, the other side of that is that\, nothing would be better than seeing this. \nTrail overrun with people because it’s it’s a bit isolated and I think That’s the key is balancing something that’s gonna draw a lot of use\, but not have a single user group dominate how it’s used. \nI’m glad to hear the city is focusing on that as well because that will be the key to. \nPeople knowing about it and coming there. So\, yep. Yeah. Okay\, I think that concludes the questions. \nQuestions\, clarifying questions. We’ll move to public comment. Is there any public comment? \nThe board will have received a forwarded letter from the Steve\, in support of this project. But that was the only public comment that we were seen. \nAnd we did receive that letter and very Good to hear that we\, you know\, did not have that. \nInformation last time around. So we’re very pleased to hear the city is supporting the project. \nOkay\, we will move on from public comment. To broad discussion and advice. As we always do\, we have some questions to consider. \nThe question one is about\, you know\, public nature of the spaces and is the new is the more developed. \nScheme\, allowing for that. Are there any other improvements? Could enhance the public access experience? \nAnd the third question really is\, related to the scale\, the size of the buildings and\, you know\, is there a are they legible connections and\, you know\, how does that work. \nAnd then the fourth question is about the revised signage plan\, the adequacy of that. And the fifth one is Just\, again\, raising this question of flooding and adequacy of\, well\, the types of events and frequency that could trigger adaptive actions. \nSo that’s the way that question is framed. So. Look\, I’m gonna defer to the people who were here at the last meeting to provide comments and i think that was leo you were here and stefan and gary and Tom\, were you with your time too? \nI was here. \nYeah. Tom\, why don’t you just lead off with your reaction? \nWell\, you\, I. Maybe I don’t remember everything\, but I recall. I had 3\, 3 things\, only 3 things. \nOne was that the signage at the\, at the same way. Clearly directed people to the bay trail. \nThat that was probably handled. To just about safe crosswalk traffic table type crosswalk from the courtyard over to the trail. \nAnd 3\, I was concerned about the non public nature of basketball\, of the\, yeah\, tennis court. \nSo \nThose are my concerns. I would go ahead and say I think they’ve all been dressed. But. \nOkay. Good talk. Yeah\, well. \nAnything else you want to comment on or we’ll just go around the table here and get people’s \nI think I feel like it’s pretty simple they did what we asked him. \nYeah. Okay\, any other comments from the group Leo? \nNo\, I think\, you know\, I think Tom’s right. They did more\, more or less what we asked. \nI think the is still\, there was a general question that I don’t know that for me has been clearly answered\, which is Is everything been done to really make this section feel as public as possible? \nAnd I think perhaps part of that is smaller elements related to parking\, you know\, for example\, the parking spaces that are for the public. \nAre inside what probably will feel like. Our private parking lot because you know this whole area is about parking lots better on the other side of a curb cut. \nSo I don’t know if there’s anything that could be done to Further emphasize that you know maybe there needs to be an extra sign by the street or something to encourage folks to come in or the curb cut is pushed back in some way so that the it’s the parking is really seen as being part of the public realm and not private room. \nDid I? I thought I heard that there were 2 spaces at the end of Yeah\, I mean\, we don’t wanna put them in the street because then you’re blocking the the trail itself. \nCertainly we could put signage there. We could move up planting island and isolate those 3 and you know\, I think additional signage would would clarify that it’s BCDC. \nYeah\, I think\, the\, again\, it’s maybe small. Details that will help provide the cues for the public that it’s It’s okay to come in. \nThis is this is areas that you can be in. I said it doesn’t It could simply be the spaces are there\, but they’re lowered. \nStreet level and the curb cut is pushed inboard. But I think\, you know\, that’s something that you could work through what the details are. \nYes\, I hadn’t realized that you have to. Drive through the. The driveway into the parking field for the for the project. \nRight. \nYeah\, it would be more. \nIntuitive if you could just drive down. Same line and access those. Right. \nThere\, Craig reminds me\, there is parallel parking on some lane. If that’s a preferred designated area for YouCDC. \nParking. \nI guess we’d have to work with the city on that then. Yeah. No\, I think it’s\, I think it’s the spaces are fine. \nI think it’s just again about providing signage and clarity for the public. \nThanks\, you. Yeah. Stefan\, anything? No\, I think we talked about this a little bit before I think. \nYou know\, opening up this area. To public access. Thinking about what’s there today is a huge benefit. \nAnd like and I don’t want to sort of lose side of that and I would agree with Tom that the specific comments that we articulated before. \nAre being addressed very nicely. \nI think the \nI don’t think this merits Any discussion on our part\, but I do want to say that this question about timing of adaptation\, which is a concurrent theme tonight for these 2 projects and Not something that I think staff has specifically. \nAsked us in that way before. And it feels tough to address that here given. The Progress and improvements that we’ve made since the previous submittal. \nWhich again\, I don’t want to sort of lose sight of that. But I do think that. \nThis is sort of a future challenge. From staff that we need to think about how to best respond. \nYeah. Yes\, I don’t think that’s something we need to. Correct. Yeah\, incorporate into this review specifically\, but this is a new question that we’re receiving and I think it comes with it needs a lot of. \nThought and probably separate dialogue between staff and ourselves to really explore what that what you would like us to. Focus on when considering that question. \nOkay. Thank you for bringing that up. Gary. Yes\, yes\, I\, I agree the\, having the court be public is a huge improvement. So\, you know\, appreciate that. \nI think it’s really a game changer and the amount of detail and materiality that you’ve provided I think answers a lot of questions so I feel very good about that. \nCouple observations. The It looks like the level 15\, you know\, BERM is\, back at the courtyard\, I believe\, right? \nIt’s not on the\, You know\, it’s not the Bay Trail. It’s really the. \nLike the day trail remains at about 12. And the 15 protects the courtyard\, which I think is a good idea. \nSo I just thought There’s an interesting device observation that you know the private space is protected more than the public space but I think that that kind of you know makes sense but I just wanted to point that out you know I don’t know if the berm well I think\, I think we’re always a little skeptical about the Bs anyway because you know\, you just have one parcel and you can’t hold back the \nbay just on your parcel. So. You know\, that’s running comment\, you know\, that without the cooperation of your neighbors\, like you said\, I mean\, it really is not a solution. \nAnd so\, you know\, that’s why I always think about\, okay\, what if the neighbors don’t? \nPlay along\, you know. But that\, that is a comment\, about every project that we review. \nJust to clarify\, the the BERM goes to 15. At the PG and E station. So behind the ball court\, and then it fluctuates\, to 14 between 12\, 5 and 14 along the trail. \nOkay\, it’s minimum\, 12 5 and then 2\, 14\, wherever we could easily get it that higher. \nOkay\, great. And just one other comment. It was about the parking\, you know\, because in plan you see a pretty strong presence of parking lining the bay trail in the renders you don’t really see what is that impact. \nI think it’s okay to show the cars and to really\, you know\, figure out how to incorporate them into the design. \nI guess in some places where the there’s a node. Which is. Write up against parking\, you know\, the planting strip gets\, you know\, a little constricted there. \nSo. I don’t\, I think it’s just a comment to stop and you to just think about the screening that would need to occur there in order to keep those nodes\, you know\, really. \nActive and protected. So those are my comments. Thanks. Thank you. \nYeah\, look\, I think everything is being said. I just want to raise one comment\, which this is not something you can address at this time\, but. \nIn the projects that we’ve been reviewing in this part of the Bay\, the the number of parking spaces structured parking spaces that are required\, you know\, are if I added them all up over the projects we’ve reviewed within a probably 2 to 3\, radius of this site. \nIt’s a huge number and And I think there’s a almost a philosophical question in my mind\, which is\, you know\, just as we are being asked by staff to consider. \nAt what point do we adapt? And at what point are we able to\, you know\, confidently say that we need to. \nIncrease protection. Along the along the water’s edge by raising the elevation. I just feel like at some point we should be saying at what point Do we stop building? \nStructured parking. I think this is at the size that we’re currently doing it. I just can’t imagine that in 25 or 50 years time people will be driving to these buildings the way they are anticipated or the way the city anticipates. \nSo I mean I think the garage is 10 stories or 8 stories? 9\, 9. And it’s just a lot of parking and and a lot of cost to build it. \nSo I just would love. People who have to pay for developing. Projects like this. Somehow push this with these cities. \nTo really push them on this question because it seems It seems. You know\, like we are building in redundancy down the track\, which is unfortunate. \nSo this is not anything to be answered tonight\, but I just. It dismayed me to see all of this. \nI think you could say that the that providing less parking would provide one avenue to long-term adaptability. \nBecause the site could more easily be adapted for slide control purposes. I mean\, you could. \nLook at it to that lens that it allows more public space on the site that could be moved around. \nRight. Cody\, please. Wait. I wasn’t here the first time\, but I know this area. \nAnd I know that across the slew are\, FEMA accredited levees that are in a state of seclusion\, which is like. \nPurgatory for levees. Which\, which means that without raising them\, they’re no longer going to provide adequate flood protection. \nSo in the scenarios you have here. These berms would at some point need to be accredited levies and those are very specific design requirements if they’re providing flood protection through the FREEMA program\, they would. \nCould potentially be accredited levies which have very specific design requirements that would to have geometries associated with them\, write a certain\, driveable surface on top. \nAnd the only comment I have is if that were at some case and you know maybe 2\,100 is allows for other adaptations but if that geometry was going to affect your program. \nIn your design. It might be worth just doing that overlay. \nThank you. Okay\, I think that concludes the feedback. I just want to reiterate the\, appreciation for\, I mean\, big picture. \nThe transformation from what is there today to what you are proposing and with this added level of detail that we see is is you know really appreciated and And I think you’re doing a great service to the community by making this. \nImportant part of the public realm here. Actually available to people in a much more clear way than it was before. \nSo we really appreciate that and appreciate you coming back into the additional effort you’ve put into addressing the questions that were raised last time. \nIs there any\, comment that you’d like to make? \nNo\, I appreciate all the feedback. I mean\, I think the first ground made us feel confident that we were on the right track and Appreciate the feedback and note that\, you know\, this is a client that cares about the site and the ecology. \nThey’re small local developer firm and I think that it’s good to hear the positive feedback. \nThank you very much. Good. Great. Okay\, we’ll look that concludes the. \nThe review. I\, we\, we don’t need to see this project again. \nSo with that\, we will adjourn the meeting and I would like someone to propose a motion to adjourn. \nMove to adjourn. \nYeah. \nHello? Sorry\, I think Leah’s hand beat you\, Tom. Yes. Okay\, Tom\, second. \nSecond. \nAye. \nGreat. All those in favor. Bye. Okay\, we have a \nThere are no objections\, I am sure. So here in none\, the meeting is adjourned. \nSo thank you very much. Good night and staff. Thank you very much for all your continued hard work on both projects tonight. \nReally appreciate it.

The project would construct a three-story\, approximately 120\,000-square-foot office and R&D building at the newly-created intersection of Atlantic Avenue\, Clement Avenue\, and Sherman Street. The project would also involve public access improvements\, including removal of a degrading timber wharf to create open water and enhance views to the Bay\, renovation of the remaining concrete portion of that wharf with pedestrian paths offering Bay Trail connectivity\, and public access amenities such as seating\, game tables\, and a bocce ball court.(Shruti Sinha) [415/352-3654; shruti.sinha@bcdc.ca.govExhibits // Public Comment Letter\nAdjournment\n\n \n \n \n \n \n Audio Recording & Transcript\n \n \n \n \n \n \n Learn How to Participate\n Bagley-Keene Open Meeting Act\nAs a state agency\, the Commission is governed by the Bagley-Keene Open Meeting Act which requires the Commission to: (1) publish an agenda at least ten days in advance of any meeting; and (2) describe specifically in that agenda the items to be transacted or discussed.
