community gardens, as well as the other geneva car barn, i believe that the -- i read the contracts between mta, there is something about locking in the 7-year with the rooms that are going to be rented out at low cost. i wanted to include a possible addendum to that where there would be possibly interconnected rooms and it would be a display of earlier iconic type of structures, for example, even the -- i can think of the portals of the past out there. and that used to be on sacramento street before the great fire. throughout the city here, we have a lot of iconic artifacts that would be beautiful. there was a place that people can visit. and it would be like a recreational park area. i hope to keep it open so that you don't just totally lock in. [inaudible] commissioner lowe, but possibly locking in on the 7-year space. i like to keep the addendum option open. thank you. >> president buell: thank you, richard. >> clerk: anyone else would like to make public comment? seeing none, this item is closed. >> president buell: chair entertains the motion? moved and seconded, all those in

i'm one of the owners of the dark horse inn. 942 geneva avenue. we did complete the required steps of sending out the letter. it was sent out november 9th. excuse me. the meeting was held november 24th. attendance, which is unfortunately typical for the neighborhood was small, but fully supportive of our plan. we had a subsequent meeting with sfpd, i believe it was inspector -- i just have forgotten her name. the permitting department and they were supportive as well once we presented our plan. we plan to continue running our business the way we have run it for the past six years. we serve largely locally sourced food, all housemade. our beer is local craft beer, our wines are small vineyards from california and a few from france and we plan to do the same with the liquor. we plan to start with a small selection and cocktails that are kind of geared toward pairing with our foods. price points will remain the same for the neighborhood. accessible but not so low that it inspires any kind of abuse. meaning pretty much we don't want $3 shots of cheap

it is mainly on mission street but also has branchs on geneva avenue, which is an east-west route. in this next map on slide five, you can see the neighborhoods that surround that commercial corridor. the neighborhood boundaries can be a little bit fungible, i suppose, but we've worked with the neighborhood residents to come up with these mission terrace -- outer mission terrace a terra terrace and then cuyaga terrace. this is going to give you a little more texture to this landscape that we've just gone over in the project area. these neighborhoods have a really dynamic history. you can see in the upper left-hand photo kind of a photo from foote and allemany in 1986. you can see there was a lot of open neighborhood waiting to be developed. you can think early 1800's, turn of the last century, and then after the earthquake, developments started to pick up. we saw immigrants coming from all over the world to this part of the town. we saw a lot of italians moving to this area of town, and then, also subsequently immigrants from south america and immigrants from asian countries, so yo

and mta has been looking at san jose and geneva, so just where the barbecue place is right now, on the side where the upper yard will be and thinking about traffic there. >> sorry to interrupt. are there any specific improvements to the muni? i think that's the problem. there are some improvements to the bart station in the last two years and i can see that right on the street. it's the muni station that is really funky and really inaccessible. you get off bart and have to walk around the block to take the k. >> i think they did do the renovations where you can get on a muni train in the bart station now on the ground floor for one of the lines. but there is on the san jose line and the k, i think they're working on connections. i can get back to you on that. i know there is some construction under way. so you don't have people right now, running into the street to catch the trains. and it's just a matter of time before negative things happen. >> thank you. >> commissioner richards: i've been 3 1/2 years on the commission, and i feel like i'm having an out-of-body experience. if you ju

geneva car barn and powerhouse phase one project. last month, december 2017, board of supervisors adopted five resolutions related to this project, including two in particular i want to talk about today. funding agreement between the city and the community arts stablization trust, and affiliate of the stablization trust. supplemental appropriation is trailing resignation and what it does, allows the city to be reimbursed for project expenses as outlined in the board adopted development services agreement. so, in total, phase one of this project costs $13.99 million. and the best way to think about it, two sources of funding. city funding staying with recreation and park, 2.94 million, a mix of geo bond and general fund, and it's excluded from the tax credit financing deal. going to pay for direct expenses at the powerhouse. supplemental, the other portion, $11 million of powerhouse reimbursement revenue. so, three steps in a simplified manner how the tax credit financing takes place. last month the board of supervisors approved a fun

geneva brt continues to advance in the planning stage, very important as well. on the freeway side, we presented to this body recently with your guidance and outreach continues there working closely with cal trans and our partners to the south. and we hope to bring more studies forward to you in this coming year. moving to late night transportation, this was work that started a couple years ago, together with the office of economic work force and development, responding to them, commissioner wiener's request and effectively implemented with late night services connecting daily city and the mission. another regional initiative we partnered with them on was a capacity -- transit core capacity study that looked at the bay bridge corridor, short and long-term minimums for the corridor. it's a complex corridor but we know bart for example carry twice as many. we need to work on aspects of that. treasure island, this had multiple facets and continue to work on the transit plan, the bus and ferry services. i appreciate chair kim's leadership there and we worked on affo

they've begun street scaping on geneva, we're look to advocate for additional street scaping. >>> eastern neighborhoods of course is the largest and most complex of the plan areas, as you know, it's five plan areas adopted around the same time. roughly seven years ago now. i'll just run through a couple of things that we can say that has been completed with impact fees. south park was completed just before last year. our impact fees paid for half of the cost for that project. similarly, dagget was just about to be complete. that was in-kind. our impact fees paid for half of that project. also completed around the same time, the new park. i'm sorry, i'm not going to pronounce it, it's new park at 17th and fulsome street. this was one of the initial priority projects, completed within the last year. we had a couple of in-kinds completed. the one in dog patch, the dog patch art plaza at the end of 19th street. and then the street safe project in western somma, the ringle alley improvements memorializing the gay and lesbian community history. so one of the things we say we were able to do wit
