SAN December 9, 1987 TIME: 7:00 p.m. PLACE: Community Room, Municipal Services Building, 33 Arroyo Drive South San Francisco, California. CALL TO ORDER: Chairman Jack Drago called the Redevelopment Agency meeting to order at 7:41 p.m. ROLL CALL: Present: Chairman Jack Drago; Member Mark N. Addiego; Member Richard A. Haffey; Member Roberta Cerri Teglia; Member Nicolopulos Also Present: Deputy Executive Director Mark Lewis; City Attorney Valerie Armento AC ~DA Deputy Executive Director Lewis stated that there were no RI JEW: changes to the agenda. REORGANIZATION Deputy Executive Director, Mark Lewis, asked the Board OF THE REDEVE- to approve the allocation of duties for the Redevelopment LOPMENT AGENCY: Agency. He stated that the most significant change he wanted to point out was that Elayna McCarty was being appointed as Assistant Executive Director for Administration and he was suggesting, after discussion with the City Attorney, that we reverse the roles of our Agency Counsel and make Valerie Armento Agency Counsel and Herman Fitzgerald Co-Counsel. Mayor Drago added that since the reorganization is taking place, he would like to designate the City Clerk as Clerk to the Redevelopment Agency rather than changing the way we do. After discussion and statements from Barbara Battaya and Allene Dodds, it was motioned by Member Haffey and seconded by Member Addiego that the Redevelopment Agency be reorganized as recommended. The motion as made and seconded was unanimously carried. FINANCIAL Secretary Jean Smith informed the Board that this is the REPORT: annual report for the Agency. There are four items that the Annual Report must contain: The first one is the Independent Financial Audit which was recently completed; Item No. 2, the Statement of Indebtedness submitted to the County for June 30, 1987, is attached. The report to the State Controller is being completed by the Finance Division and it will be distributed to the Members and forwarded to the State prior to December 31. The third item has to do with the housing set aside that is the 20% for low and moderate income housing. Since Gateway Redevelopment Project contains no residential units, nor is it proposed to contain any, the 20% set a~ide i~ being sent elsewhere. It is staff's recommendation that the Redevelopment Agency accept the report and authorize its submittal to the State as well as to the City Council. It was motioned by Member Teglia and seconded by Member Haffey that the Annual Financial Report of the Redevelopment Agency be accepted. The motion as made and seconded was unanimously carried. MOTION TO Secretary Jean Smith stated that this item was a request for TO GRANT a time extension for submittal of Precise Plan for Phase I EXTENSION FOR for the Shearwater Redevelopment Project (U. S. Steel SHEARWATER Redevelopment Project). It is staff's recommendation that PROJECT-PHASE the Redevelopment Agency approve this request for submission I: of the Precise Plan. The last time was extended was July 24, 1987, and it was extended for six months. It is staff's recommendation that this extension be for one year because of the continuing litigation. It was motioned by Member Teglia and seconded by Member Addiego that the extension be granted. The motion as made and seconded was unanimously carried. JOINT PUBLIC This item was held until the City Council convene its HEARING: meeting. CLOSED There were no items to be discussed in closed session. SESSION: GOOD AND Phil Warden, Attorney for Industrial Indemnity Company, WELFARE: which is the current owner of the Shearwater Property spoke. He stated that it was their request to extend the Precise Plan. I noted in the letter which is attached to the Agenda that we have only been at this for a very temporary time, and we have paid all the back taxes going back to 1984, which I believe to be approximately $1 Million, and we are in the process of doing extensive environmental testing on the site. We have renewed the fence around the site, and we have a property manager who will be cleaning up the fence area. Our concern is that we simply don't lose any ground that we maintain status quo. I wonder if the Council resolution could be amended and somewhat expanded to include Section 7 of the OPA which provides for certain construction phasing. 12/9/87 Page 2 After discussion from Agency Board and staff, it was the Board's consensus that the time extension include Section 6 of the OPA - A one-year extension. JOINT PUBLIC Secretary Jean Smith stated that most of this project HEARING: conforms to the Gateway Specific Plan Zone District provisions which prohibits parking within 20 feet of any building. The Variance is required for only one percent of the total perimeter wall space of the six buildings proposed for the site. Approximately 160 linear feet of building faces have only a 16 foot setback but they do have 18 feet of landscaping including two feet of vehicle overhand. Forty additional linear feet of building face have only about a 12-foot setback, but as pointed out, this is very minor and we believe it is keeping with the overall Specific Plan. Parcel Plan (PP-87-302): The applicant's team in this case proposes to explain this in some detail. We will be glad to answer questions. Tentative Parcel Map (PM-87-251): It is requested that this be approved to allow phasing of the development plan. There is a 13.8 acre center parcel which will be developed first, and the two 4.5 acre ones, which will be developed secondly, will be developed together, but because they are separated there are three parcels involved in the two phases. PUBLIC HEARING Steve Chamberlain, Representative of Rouse and Associates, OPENED: presented the plans for our project at the Gateway and gave an overview of the material that will be presented. He also gave a description of the organization's team and their experience. John Duvivier, Principal of HED Architects - 460 Seaport Blvd., Redwood City, addressed the Board and reviewed the basic sight plans. He talked about the various conditions associated with the site. Brant Katon discussed the landscaping issues on the project. He stated that it is a very simple concept with straight lines and bands interspaced with interesting colors and textures. PUBLIC HEARING Chairman Drago closed the public hearing and votes were CLOSED: taken as follows: Motion by Member Haffey, Seconded by Member Addiego to approve Variance (V-87-302); 12/9/87 Page 3 Motion by Vice Chair Teglia, seconded by Member Haffey to approve Precise Plan (PP-87-13); Motion by Member Haffey, seconded by Member Addiego to approve Parcel Map (PM-87-251.
