SUBJECT: Resolution adopting findings under the California Envirormiental Quality Act
(CEQA) related to approval of a portion of the preferred alternative as set forth in the Final EIR
entitled "Alternatives to the Replacement of the Embarcadero Freeway and the Terminal
Separator Structure", dated August 25, 1 996
DIRECTOR'S RECOMMENDATION: Approve the attached resolution.
Background
The City and County of San Francisco proposes to construct a new roadway, freeway ramps
and associated street improvements in place of the elevated Embarcadero Freeway and ramp
connection known as the Terminal Separator Structure (TSS), both of which were demolished
as a result of damage sustained during the Loma Prieta Earthquake of October 1989. The
transportation improvements are proposed as alternatives to an in-kind replacement of the
former facilities which constituted State Route 480, and provided access to and from the
regional freeway system and downtown San Francisco.

Page Two
The City Planning Commission certified the Final EIS/EIR for the proposed new Embarcadero
Roadway on September 19, 1996 (File No. 92.202E/94.060E). The EIS/EIR includes six
project alternatives, including a preferred alternative. The final EIS/EIR was distributed to the
Port Commission members at their most recent meeting on September 24, 1996 for their
review.
The project described in the EIS/EIR includes two distinct elements: the Mid-Embarcadero
Roadway Project (which is proposed to be constructed primarily on property under the
jurisdiction of the San Francisco Port Commission) and the Terminal Separator Structure,
which is not located within Port jurisdiction.
Under CEQA, the Port Commission must prepare written findings of fact that explain how it
has dealt with each significant impact and alternative identified in the EIS/EIR. The attached
resolution sets forth environmental findings for each significant impact set forth in the
EIR/EIS. The findings address the following issues:
• Project Alternatives rejected as infeasible
• Mitigation Measures adopted and rejected
• Mitigation Monitoring Program
• Significant effects on the environment and positive benefits related to approval of the
Mid-Embarcadero Roadway Project
A separate resolution has been prepared regarding the Port Commission's approval of the
preferred alternative for the Mid-Embarcadero Roadway Project.

ADOFTING FINDINGS UNDER THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY ACT RELATED TO
A PORTION OF TEE PREFERRED ALTERNATIVE AS SET FORTH IN THE FINAL EIR ENTITLED
ALTERNATIVES TO REPLACEMENT OF THE EMBARCADERO FREEWAY AND THE TERMINAL
SEPARATOR STRUCTURE. DATED AUGUST 25, 1996
WHEREAS, The City and County of San Francisco, as project sponsor, has proposed a project to replace
the Embarcadero and Terminal Separator freeway segments of 1-480 that were damaged by the 1989 Loma Prieta
earthquake and were subsequently demolished; and
WHEREAS, The City and County of San Francisco, acting through the Department of City Planning
(hereinafter "Department") fulfilled all procedural requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act (Cal.
Pub. Res. Code Section 21000 et seq., hereinafter "CEQA"), the State CEQA Guidelines (Cal. Admm. Code Title
14, Section 15000 et seq., hereinafter "CEQA Guidelines") and Chapter 31 of the San Francisco Administrative Code
(hereinafter "Chapter 31'), as follows:
a. The Department determined that an EIR was required and provided public notice of that
determination by publication in a newspaper of general circulation on August 21, 1992 and February
18, 1994. A duly advertised public scoping meeting was held on February 28, 1994.
b. On August 25, 1995, the Department published the Draft Environmental Impact Report (hereinafter
"DEIR") and provided public notice m a newspaper of general circulation of the availability of the
DEIR for public review and comment and of the date and time of the City Planning Commission
public hearing on the DEIR; this notice was mailed to the Department's list of persons requesting
such notice.
c. Notices of availability of the DEIR and of the date and time of the public hearing were posted near
the project site by Department staff on August 28, 1995.
d. On August 25, 1995, copies of the DEIR were mailed or otherwise delivered to a list of persons
requesting it, to those noted on the distribution list in the DEIR, to adjacent property owners, and
to government agencies, the latter both directly and through the State Clearinghouse.
e. Notice of Completion was filed with the State Secretary of Resources via the State Clearinghouse
on August 25, 1995.
f. The Planning Commission held two duly advertised public hearings on said Draft Environmental
Impact Report on September 27, 1995, and September 28, 1995, at which opportimity for public
FindSa.mid -1-

comment was given, and public comment was received on the DEIR. The period for acceptance
of written comments ended on October 16, 1995.
g. The Department prepared responses to comments on environmental issues received at the public
hearing and in writing during the 52-day public review period for the DEIR, prepared revisions to
the text of the DEIR in response to comments received or based on additional information that
became available during the public review period, and corrected errors in the DEIR. This material
was presented in a Volume II Summary of Comments and Responses, published on September 3,
1996, was distributed to the Planning Commission and to all parties who commented on the DEIR,
and was available to others upon request at Department offices.
h. A Volume I, Final Environmental Impact Statement/Environmental Impact Report (hereinafter
"Final EIS/EIR" or "Final EIR") has been prepared by the Department, consisting of the DEIR,
a Section 4(f) Evaluation, any consultations and comments received dining the review process, any
additional information that became available, including minor text revisions to the DEIR resulting
from the Summary of Comments and Responses, all as required by law.
I. Project Environmental Impact Report files have been made available for review by the Port
Commission and the public, and these files are part of the record before the Port Commission. The
administrative record is available for review at the Department of City Planning Offices at 1660
Mission Street, San Francisco, CA 94103; and
WHEREAS, the City and County of San Francisco is the Project Sponsor for the Mid-Embarcadero portion
of the Project, which would be built mainly on property under the jurisdiction of the San Francisco Port Cormnission;
and
WHEREAS, a Final EIS/EIR for the Alternatives to Replacement of the Embarcadero Freeway and the
Terminal Separator Structure (the "Project"), File No. 92.202E/94.060E was certified as complete by the San
Francisco Planning Commission on September 19, 1996; and
WHEREAS, the Port Commission has reviewed and considered the information contained in the Final EIR;
and
WHEREAS, the Final EIR described and analyzed a No Build Alternative and five Build Alternatives,
including one Preferred Alternative, for the Project; now therefore, be it
RESOLVED, that the Port Commission hereby adopts the following findings regarding the Project
Alternatives analyzed in the Final EIR:
1. The No Build Alternative is rejected because it would result in the greatest number of future
cumulative congested downtown traffic intersections of all the Alternatives discussed in the Final
EIR; it would result in a future freeway off ramp demand-to-capacity ration greater than one during
the a. m. peak period; it would not improve the appearance of the project area; and it would not
improve physical and visual access between the downtown and the waterfront.
2. Alternatives Two and Four are rejected because they would not provide a level of service for traffic
flow capacity compared to the pre-earthquake condition; off-ramp travel demand would exceed ramp
FindSa.mid -2-
r
c
Alternatives to Replacement of the
Embarcadero Freeway and The
Terminal Separator Structure
capacities during the AM peak period, constraining traffic entering and exiting the street network;
surface street operations during the PM peak period would be worse at key intersections on Market
Street (Fifth and First Streets) and at Fourth and Folsom; 371 parking spaces would be lost along
The Embarcadero; and the paired roadway alignment would establish a barrier between pedestrians
and the waterfront, defeating one of the major purposes of the project;
3. Alternative Three is rejected because although it would provide a comparable level of service
compared to the pre-earthquake condition for traffic traveling to and from the regional freeway
system, the increased niunber of vehicles would result in poorer level of service operations at
critical surface street intersections at peak periods, particularly at First and Market and Fourth and
Harrison; the concentrated access points in the congested South of Market area would create new
traffic conflicts between traffic trying to access the Bay Bridge and Traffic trying to access U.S. 101
south; and the paired roadway alignment would establish a barrier between pedestrians and the
waterfront, defeating one of the major purposes of the project;
4. Alternative Five is rejected, because although it would provide a comparable level of service
compared to the pre-earthquake condition for traffic traveling to and from the regional freeway
system, the increased number of vehicles would result in poorer level of service operations at
critical surface street intersections at peak periods, particularly at First and Market and Fourth and
Harrison; the concentrated access points in the congested South of Market area would create new
traffic conflicts between traffic trying to access the Bay Bridge and Traffic trying to access U.S. 101
south; the extensive intrusion into Justm Herman Plaza would result in a significant impact on the
users of this heavily utilized open space area; and, be it
FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Port Commission hereby finds that the following Mitigation Measures are
feasible and will avoid or substantially reduce the magnimde of the significant environmental effects identified in the
EIR/EIS, and hereby adopts them as part of the project;
A. Land Use
To minimize the impact on Justin Herman Plaza that would occur under the Preferred Alternative,
the City will be required to redesign and reconstruct the transitional open space area between the
roadway and Justin Herman Plaza. The transitional open space area will be designed within the
context of the new roadway rather than a freeway, and will be more sensitive to pedestrian needs.
Existing landscaping in this area will be replaced with new landscaping that is consistent with the
proposed landscaping along The Embarcadero. (Added since DEIR to address potenrial impacts of
the Preferred Alternative)
To assure a finished edge where the Embarcadero roadway would adjoin Justin Herman Plaza and
parkland on Assessor's Block 202, the Department of Public Works (DPW) will be required to
coordinate design and construction of the roadway and sidewalk with the staff of the Pon and the
City's Recreation and Park Department. Design and construction of the portion of roadway adjacent
to Block 202 would be coordmated with the Port of San Francisco, which has jurisdiction over a
portion of the Block. (Modified from DEIR to reflect transfer of Waterfront Transportation Projects
Office from CAO to DPW responsibility, and to clarify that Port of San Francisco would be
consulted for Block 202 work.)

B. Visual Oualitv/Urban Design
1. To minimize the impact on Justin Herman Plaza that would occur under the Preferred Alternative,
the City will be required to redesign and reconstruct the transitional open space area between the
roadway and Justin Herman Plaza. The transitional open space area will be designed within the
context of the new roadway rather than a freeway, and will be more sensitive to pedestrian needs.
Existing landscaping m this area will be replaced with new landscaping that is consistem with the
proposed landscaping along The Embarcadero.
Any mature trees removed will be replaced with the same or greater number of trees along the
transition area or in the adjacent park. Tree removal and new plantings will be determined in
conjunction with and approved by the Recreation and Park Department. (Added since DEIR to
address potentUd impacts of the Preferred Alternative)
C. Light/Glare
1. To prevent or reduce glare fix)m temporary lighting during construction periods, the City will be
requked to diven any lighting for nighttime or early morning construction away from traffic and
residential areas. (As in DEIR)
D.
Transportation
1. Traffic
Transit
In order to reduce inconveniences associated with temporarily reduced street capacity and
restricted circulation during construction, the City will be required to restrict any street
lane reductions to off-peak or nighttime hours and notify the public of such occurrences in
advance. Alternatively, if lane closures are required in peak periods, alternate lanes would
be made available by restricting curb-side parking and loading. To the maxiTrmm extent
feasible, three traffic lanes will be maintained in each direction along The Embarcadero
between Broadway and Howard Street at all times. (Modified from DEIR to reflect that
while every effort Mill be made to maintain maximum traffic flow, construction activities
may necessitate use of traffic lanes for limited periods of time)
In order to reduce the potential effect of construction traffic on local streets, the City will
be required to restria construction traffic and stage construction activities so as to prevent
concentration of construction traffic on corridors with limited capacity or corridors used
by commute traffic. (As in DEIR)
To minimize or eluninate inconveniences associated with relocation of bus stops during
construction, the City will be required to contract each transit operator (primarily MUNI
and GGBHTD) whose bus stops would be moved during construction and determine the
best temporary location for these stops during each phase of the construction period. The
RndSa.mid
Alternatives to Replacement of the
Embarcadero Freeway and The
Terminal Separator Structure
ability of buses to stop along The Embarcadero would be considered in developing the final
construction staging plans, and bus stops would be relocated no more than one block from
their ejusting locations. The City would also be required to contact other transit operators,
including CalTrain, to ensure that there is coordination regarding construction of planned
transit improvements in the vicinity. (As modified from DEIR to include coordination with
sponsors of other planned transit improvements.)
Pedestrian/Bicycles
Noise
During construction, large volumes of pedestrians walking in front of the Ferry Building
and on the Ferry Building crosswalk may be inconvenienced by capacity reductions and/or
temporary closure of pedestrian facilities. To reduce this inconvenience, the City will be
required to require the construction contractor to devise and implement a construction plan
that would maintain maximum pedestrian flow capacity aroimd the Ferry Building by
avoiding closure of any pedestrian facilities wherever possible and by providing temporary
alternate facilities as appropriate. Access would be maintained to nearby businesses, and
signs would be used to indicate paths of travel to ferries and businesses. (As in DEIR)
To reduce potential distiu"bances due to construction-related noise levels, the City will be required
to strictly adhere to the San Francisco Noise_ Ordinance and will require the following additional
steps to be taken:
a. Implementation of a careful maintenance and lubrication program for heavy equipment;
b. Installation of temporary noise barriers, mats or blankets where San Francisco Noise
Ordinance limits cannot be met with available equipment;
c. Pre-drilling piles where soil conditions permit;
d. Use of construction equipment modified to lessen noise such as welding instead of riveting,
using electric-powered equipment instead of pneumatic tools, using electric instead of air
or gasoline-driven saws, and use of effective intake and exhaust mufflers on internal
combustion engines and compressors;
e. Maximizing physical separation, as far as practical, between noise generators and noise
sensitive receptors, such as providing enclosures for stationary equipment and barriers
around partictilarly noise areas on the site, using shields, impervious fences or other
physical sound barriers to inhibit transmission of noise into the surrounding conununity,
and locating stationary equipment so as to minimize impact on the community;
f. . Scheduling of noise-generating activities outside early morning and nighttime hours.
(As in DEIR)

Air Quality
1 . , To reduce construction period PM,o emission levels by 75 percent (BAAQMD 1985, updated 1991),
the City will be required to implement dust control measures. Measures to reduce dust include
watering construction areas, covering haul trucks and storage pUes containing dirt and debris,
imposing a speed limit in the construction area, paving the area as quickly as possible, and planting
the non-paved areas as soon as possible. (As in DEIR)
2. Ordinance 175-91, passed by the San Francisco Board of Supervisors on May 6, 1991, requires that
non-potable water be used for dust control activities. Therefore, City will be required to require
the project contractor to obtain reclaimed water from the Clean Water Program for this purpose.
(As in DEIR)
3. To reduce exhaust emissions durmg construction, the City will be required to not allow the
equipment to idle unnecessarily, keep the engines well-tuned, and use newer equipment. (As in
DEIR)
Topography /Geology/Soils/Seismicitv
1. To reduce the possibility of differential settlement affecting relocated utilities, the City will
implement the following measures durrug construction:
a. Provide temporary support for utilities that are not relocated;
b. Provide pile-supported foundations where possible for relocated utility segments that are
previously pile-supported; and
c. Use special connections between utility segments with different foundation types.
Any necessary utihty relocation and/or protection will be implemented in accordance with the City's
franchise agreement with the affected utility companies. (Modified from DEIR to clarify relationship
between the City and utility franchise holders)
2. To reduce the potential for settlement of existing structures caused by construction activities, the
City wiU conduct a pre-construction survey of existing structures adjacent to the construction area
and \mdertake necessary soil improvement (compaction and chemical grouting or underpinning)
beneath affected structures, and to monitor their movements durmg construction. Where private
structures are in such proximity that they might be affected, the City will follow appropriate rules
and procedures for acquisition of temporary and/or permanent rights to do such work. However,
no construction work within the basements of buildings adjacent to the roadway aligmnent is
anticipated. (Modified from DEIR to clarify scope of the project work)
3. Existmg SFWD facilities, including mains, valves, valve boxes, hydrants, etc., identified from
available drawings and reconstruction smreys, will be protected during construction, including
temporary support during construction, and relocation or adjustment if necessary. Costs associated
with work required to be done to protect existing water department facilities would be included in
Fnd3a.mid
Alternatives to Replacement of the
Embarcadero Freeway and The
Terminal Separator Structm-e
the total cost of whichever alternative is selected. (Modified from DEIR to clarify scope of the
project work)
H. Hydrology and Water Oualitv
1. To minimize the exposure of site workers and the public to dewatering effluent, the City will design
and implement a wastewater management program. Groimdwater samples will be collected from
well points installed as part of the dewatering system. The samples will be analyzed for chemical
constituents as specified by the City's Department of Public Works' requirements for batch
wastewater discharge. This will provide groimdwater quality data specific to locations, so that
disposal options could be considered and decided upon prior to generation of large volmnes of
water. (As in DEIR)
2. To mitigate potential hazards associated with dewatering, the City will develop and implement a
written health and safety plan consistent with the existing Site Mitigation Plan (SMP) for the
Waterfront Transportation Projects. The health and safety plan will require the identification of
safety and health risk analyses for each site task and operation (including dewatering activities),
employee training assignments, implementation of a monitoring program, and medical surveillance.
In addition, all wells, piping, and discharge points will be within fenced areas to reduce the
likelihood of the public coming into contact with contaminated groundwater. (Modified from DEIR
to clarify scope of construction period health and safety plan)
I. Hazardous Materials
1. To mitigate the potential effect of exposmg workers to hazardous materials during construction, the
City will comply with the Site Mitigation Plan (SMP) approved for the Waterfront Transportation
Projects, including preparation and implementation of a site-specific health and safety plan during
construction that would comply with all OSHA requirements, effectively mitigating the potential for
public exposure to hazardous materials. (Modified from DEIR to clarify SMP and OSHA
requirements))
2. To mitigate the potential effect of exposing utilities maintenance and repair workers to hazardous
materials during operation of the Mid-Embarcadero Roadway, the City will require notification to
entities who will be performing utilities relocation work m connection with the Mid-Embarcadero
portion of the project. The notification wUl include information on the types of contaminants likely
to be encoimtered during relocation work. (Modified from DEIR to refiect thai Underground
Services Alert (USA) does not keep hazardous materials information on file; therefore, notification
of the presence of contaminants should be made by the City to utilities companies with work in the
area. The utilities can then determine whether during relocation they wish to backfill with the
original material or replace with clean fill, thereby minimizing the hazard to future workers.)
J. Cultural Resources
1. The Historic Properties Survey Report (HPSR) and Evaluation of Effects prepared for this project
includes a number of recommendations for the protection of potentially affected archaeological
resources in the project area. Specific mitigation measures consistent with these reconunendations
Fnd3a.mid
Alternatives to Replacement of the . t
Embarcadero Freeway and The ^
Terminal Separator Structure *
to protect archaeological resources have been developed through consultation with the State Historic
Preservation Officer (SHPO) and the Advisory Council on Historic Preservation (ACHP). This
consultation process has resulted in a Memorandum of Agreement (MO A), executed among and
between the City and County of San Francisco, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), and
California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), SHPO, and ACHP, which describes the
measures to be taken to reduce or eliminate adverse effects. The MO A requires:
a. Undertake expanded, detailed archival research on the Northern (Mid-Embarcadero)
portion of the Project APE to bring documentation and identification of potential
archaeological resources in that area up to the degree of specificity achieved for the
Southern area. This should be undertaken and the results presented in the same block-by-
block format employed in the Southern area. This effort should include the area of the
Parking Remediation Option in Assessor's Block 202.
b. Formulate and implement a testing/evaluation/data recovery program for indicated
archaeological resources.
c. If the subsmface parking structure remediation option on Assessor's Block 202 is selected,
formulate a testing/evaluation/data recovery program for archaeological resources on the
block. This would include a search for and evaluation of the Elizabeth which might be
buried on that block.
d. An archaeological monitoring program should be formulated and implemented during
construction related drilling or excavation for all locations.
e. In the event that buried cultural materials are unearthed during site preparation, grading
or construction of the project, work will be halted in the vicinity of the find until a
qualified archaeologist can assess its importance.
f. A report of findings resulting for archaeological testing/evaluation/date recovery
procedures will be compiled and submitted at the conclusion of field work and analysis.
Significant artifacts and samples will be prepared and curated at an appropriate facility
after completion of research and report preparation. (Modified from DEIR to reflect that
the MOA has been executed by the various parties)] and be it
FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Port Commission fmds that the modifications to the Mitigation
Measures as described above do not result in new significant environmental impacts or a substantial increase
in the severity of an environmental impact; and, be it
FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Port Commission adopts the Mitigation Monitormg Program as
set forth m Attachment A; and be it
FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Port Commission finds that it does not have the legal authority
to impose the. following Mitigation Measures recommended in the Fmal EIR as they are within the
responsibility and jurisdiction of other public agencies and not the Port Commission. However, the
Commission recommends that all of those Mitigation Measures, and the relevant parts of the Mitigation
FindSa.mid
Alternatives to Replacement of the
Embarcadero Freeway and The
Terminal Separator Structure
Monitoring Program as presented in Attachment B, be adopted by the agencies with jurisdiction to adopt
them:
A. Visual Quality/Urban Design
To enhance the appearance of the modified off-ramp at Fourth and Bryant Streets proposed under
the Fourth Street Option of Alternatives Three and Five, and the Preferred Alternative, the
landscaping that would be removed wiU be replaced with similar landscaping, and/or new street
trees in the vicinity. (As modified from DEIR to reflect incorporation of the Preferred Alternative)
Transportation
1. Traffic
a. In order to reduce peak period traffic congestion on Battery and First Streets, install signs
on Battery and Clay Streets dnecting southbound drivers to use Clay, Davis, and Beale
Streets as an alternate route to South of Market destinations, including ramps to the Bay
Bridge. Also, eliminate the nine left-side curb loading/parking spaces on Battery Street
between Pine and Bush Streets in the AM peak period. (Stopping is already prohibited in
the PM peak period.) (As in DEIR)
b. In order to reduce delays in accessing the freeway, restripe the Harrison Street approach
to the 1-80 on-ramp at Fourth Street to add another exclusive lane to the freeway. This
restriping would require either removing the existing safety cones on Fourth Street, which
force southbound traffic at the west curb lane to turn right, or by adding striping through
the intersection, directing westbound through traffic on Harrison Street aroimd the cones.
The restrq)ing would require removal of up to 76 on-street parking spaces in the area, and
would be accompanied by a sign program alerting South of Market drivers to other on-
ramps farther west.
The existing configuration of Harrison Street includes one shared left-turn lane and freeway
access lane, one shared freeway access and through lane, and two through lanes. The final
configuration of Harrison Street would mclude one left turn-only lane, two freeway-only
lanes, and three through lanes. All changes would be implemented when the intersection's
level of service degrades from its existing LOS of B, to LOS E or F in the PM peak hour,
as projected to occur by 2015. (As in DEIR)
3. Pedestrian/Bike
For Alternatives Three, Four and Five, and the Preferred Alternative, the triple right turn
at the imsignalized intersection of Folsom and Essex Streets could pose a safety problem
for pedestrians who ignore the absence of a designated crosswalk, and cross Essex Street.
To reduce the potential for automobile and pedestrian conflicts, the City should install
pedestrian signs and barriers to direct pedestrians away from the crossing of Essex Street,
and install a crosswalk on the east side of Essex Street to complement the one on die west
side, so that pedestrians on the south sidewalk of Folsom Street can detour around the
FindSa.mid -9-
Alternatives to Replacement of the
Embarcadero Freeway and The
Terminal Separator Structure
triple right-turn. (Modified firom DEIR to reflect incorporation of the Preferred
Alternative); and, be it
FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Port Commission rejects the following mitigation measures for the reasons
stated on pages 428 A and 428B of the Final EIR, regarding the potential costs and benefits of such measures. Those
pages of the Final EIR are incorporated herein by reference. In sunraiary, a noise wall could provide sound protection
to the Golden Gate Swim and Tennis Club, at a cost of aobut $144,000 to $216,000, and would narrow sidewalks,
eluninate street trees, have negative aethestic effects, and be contrary to the objective of reconnecting the City to the
waterfront:
E. Noise
1. To reduce the potential for future roadway noise effects upon the Golden Gateway Teimis and Swim
Club (GGTSC) facilities, a solid concrete block wall would be constructed along Washington Street
(from Drumm to The Embarcadero), and along The Embarcadero, from Washington to the northern
end of the GGTSC facilities (Noise Barrier "A"). The wall would be approximately 3.0-3.6 meters
(10-12 feet) tall, and would afford about 9 to 11 dBA of noise reduction to the GGTSC. Such a
reduction would result in future noise levels of about 56 to 59 dBA at the GGTSC. The cost of such
a wall is estimated to be approximately $216,000. A solid concrete block wall approximately 1.5-
1.8 meters (5-6 feet) would afford about 5 dBA sound reduction, at a cost of about $144,000.
(Modified from DEIR to reflect expanded data and discussion.)
2. To reduce the potential future roadway noise at Assessor's Block 202, an earthen berm or a
soundwall of approximately 1.5-1.8 meters (5-6 feet) would be constructed along Washington Street
(firom Drumm to The Embarcadero) and along The Embarcadero, from Washington to the Boundary
of Block 202 and Justin Herman Plaza. The berm or wall would achieve about 5 dBA of sound
reduction and would be constructed at 1.5-1.8 meters (5-6 feet) in order to balance the desire for
noise reduction widi other project purposes, such as enhancing visual and pedestrian access to and
from public parks and the waterfront. The cost of constructing such a berm or wall is estimated to
be approximately $70,000. (Modified from DEIR to reflect expanded data and discussion.)]
and, be it
FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Port Commission's approval of the Mid-Embarcadero Roadway Project,
a portion of the Preferred Alternative as set forth in the Final EIR, would have significant effects on the environment,
as described in the Planning Commission Motion No. , and as set forth below:
1. The preferred alternative would perpetuate unacceptable future cumulative traffic conditions at the
intersections of Fourth and Harrison and Fourth and Folsom diiring the pm peak hour. Such
cumulative future traffic conditions could cause violations to particulate standards in San Francisco,
with concomitant health effects and reduced visibility.
2. The Preferred Alternative would require the use of up to 390 square meters (4,300 square feet) at
the eastern edge of Justin Herman Plaza for roadway purposes. About 290 square meters is under
the jurisdiction of the Port of San Francisco, while about 150 square meters is under the jurisdiction
of the Recreation and Park Department.

Alternatives to Replacement of the
Embarcadero Freeway and The
Terminal Separator Structure
3. The Preferred Alternative has the potential to affect archaeological resources that may exist in the
vicinity of the project; and, be it
FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Port of San Francisco finds that for the reasons set forth below, the
economic, social and other considerations of the preferred alternative outweigh the potential unavoidable traffic, open
space and archaeological resource impacts identified in the above findings:
1 . The construction and operation of the project will improve public access to transit, which will
decrease travel time within the City and to destinations in other parts of the region consistent with
current City land use policies.
2. The construction and operation of the project will, by extending transit south of the Bay Bridge,
enhance the movement of transit-dependent individuals and reduce the relative transit isolation of
areas south of downtown.
3. The project would provide for a net gain of approximately one acre of public open space potential
in the project area, creating a "Central Plaza" area in front of the Ferry Building, and facilitating
the creation of Rincon Point Park, by rerouting the roadway inland and allowing for the creation
of a park at the water's edge;
4. The project would improve open space opportunities to residents, workers and tourists by widening
the Embarcadero Pedestrian Promenade and implementing the Bay Trail;
5. The project would make a number of improvements for pedestrians and bicyclists by widening the
Embarcadero Pedestrian Promenade and including bicycle lanes in the north and southboimd curb
lanes;
6. The project would fiilfill the City's urban design objectives of creating a setting that lends
importance to the Ferry Building, a Federal and City landmark, and establishing a terminus for
Market Street.
7. The project would reconnect the City with the waterfront by introducing numerous signalized
intersection and midblock crosswalks.
8. The project would improve future levels of service at certain downtown intersections in terms of
traffic congestion, relative to the No Build Alternative.
9. The Project could improve fumre freeway off ramp capacity to the downtown; and, be it
FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Port Commission, after balancing the significant adverse effects of the
Project on the environment, and the benefits of the Project, concludes that the benefits of the Project override the
significant adverse effects; and, be it
FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Port Commission finds that no new information of substantial importance
has become available, no modification to the project has occurred that would require important revisions to the FEIR,
and no substantial changes have occurred with respect to the circumstances under which the project is under taken,

Alternatives to Replacement of the
Embarcadero Freeway and The

since the Planning Commission certified the FEIR, therefore, there is no need to prepare an addendum or siq)plement
to the FEIR or recirculate the FEIR; and, be it
FURTHER RESOLVED, that the Port Commission shall record the action taken in this Resolution and shall
certify a copy thereof to the Board of Supervisors and the Mayor.
I hereby certify that the foregoing Resolution was ADOPTED by the Port Commission at its regular meeting
of October 8, 1996,
Secretary

TO: MEMBERS, PORT COMMISSION
Hon. Michael Hardeman, President
Hon. Frankie G. Lee, Vice President
Hon. Preston Cook
Hon. James Herman
Hon. Denise McCarthy
FROM: Dennis P. Bouey ii A
Executive Director r* "^
SUBJECT: Resolution approving the DPT Variant with a split roadway design for
the Mid-Embarcadero Roadway and provision of replacement parking, and authorizing the
Executive Director to negotiate an agreement with other City departments regarding the review
and final approval process for the project
DIRECTOR'S RECOMMENDATION: Approve the attached resolution.
Background
The City and County of San Francisco proposes to construct a new roadway, freewa}' ramps
and associated street improvements in place of the elevated Embarcadero Freeway and ramp
coimection known as the Terminal Separator Structure (TSS), both of which were demolished
as a result of damage sustained during the Loma Prieta Earthquake of October 1989. The
transportation improvements are proposed as alternatives to an in-kind replacement of the
former facilities which constituted State Route 480, and provided access to and from the
regional freeway system and downtown San Francisco.
THIS PRINT COVERS CALENDAR ITEM NO. 3 C
Approval of Mid-Embarcadero Roadway Project
Agenda Item 3C
October 8, 1996
Page Two
The overall project includes two distinct elements: the Mid-Embarcadero Roadway Project
(which is proposed to be constructed primarily on property under the jurisdiction of the San
Francisco Port Commission) and the Terminal Separator Structure, which is not located within
Port jurisdiction. Because most of the Mid-Embarcadero Roadway Project would be located
on Port property, the San Francisco Port Commission must approve the project. The approval
that is before the Commission at the October 8, 1996 meeting is to select a roadway aHgnment.
The Port Commission will have an opportunity to approve and adopt urban design criteria for
the roadway in the future.
The purpose of the project is fourfold:
1 . Restore local and regional transportation connectivity affected by the 1 989 Loma Prieta
Earthquake and the loss of the Embarcadero Freeway and TSS;
2. Provide ramp capacity without building the amount of elevated structures formerly
occupied by the Embarcadero Freeway and TSS, taking advantage of surface streets and
transit to accommodate travel demand;
3. Enhance the integration of different modes of transportation in the project area
including automobiles, ferries, buses, light rail, trucks, and pedestrians and bicycles;
and
4. Improve the appearance of the project area; maximize physical and visual access to the
waterfront and minimize physical intrusions into commercial and residential areas of
San Francisco, pursuant to long-standing goals and urban design concepts of the
Northeastern Waterfront area Plan, an element of the San Francisco General Plan.
Six project alternatives are under consideration and are analyzed in the EIS/EIR at an equal
level of detail; they include a "No Build" alternative and five "Build" alternatives. Two of the
"Build" alternatives include variations in the proposed treatment for the 1-80 eastbound off-
ramp from the Peninsula. The preferred altemative, which is a modified version of one of the
"Build" alternatives, is also analyzed at an equal level of detail as the other project alternatives.
The DPT Variant with a spUt Roadway was endorsed as the Preferred Altemative by the Board
of Supervisors in January, 1996 and incorporated into the Fuial Environmental Impact Report
as Statement (FEIS/EIR) as such.

Approval of Mid-Embarcadero Roadway Project
Agenda Item 3C
Octobers, 1996
Page Three
Project Description
The Mid-Embarcadero Project would realign and upgrade the surface roadway section along
the section of The Embarcadero between Folsom Street and Broadway as a four-to-six lane
roadway, to match the Embarcadero Roadway to the north and south. A parking garage and
surface street improvements are also proposed as part of the project. The Mid-Embarcadero
segment of the F-Line would also be implemented in conjunction with this project, as would
the Muni Metro Extension/F-Line Connector, contingent upon securing full funding.
Roadway and Transit Improvements
The new Embarcadero Roadway would begin at the present intersection of Steuart and Folsom
Streets, and would curve northeastward (towards the Bay) to meet the existing Embarcadero
alignment at Howard Street, and continue north along The Embarcadero to Broadway. The
area east of the realigned roadway between Howard and Harrison Street would become part of
the planned Rincon Point Park. Steuart Street would be closed to through traffic between
Folsom and Howard Streets, and a portion of the street would be vacated. The southbound
roadway between Folsom and Howard Streets would be completed as part of the Muni Metro
Turnback project in late 1996. A realigned northbound roadway between Folsom and Howard
Streets and a new pedestrian promenade between Folsom and Harrison Streets would be
completed as part of this project.
Between Howard Street and Broadway, the northbound lanes of the new Embarcadero
Roadway would generally follow the alignment of the existing roadway. The southbound lanes
of the roadway would curve west to form a central plaza between the north and south bound
roadways directly in front of the Ferry Building. This realignment of the southbound roadway
would result in use of the edge of the landscaped transition zone between the roadway and
Justin Herman Plaza for pedestrian circulation and landscaping. See Exhibit A for an
illustration of the roadway alignment.
Between Howard Street and Broadway, the new Embarcadero Roadway would have three
continuous travel lanes during the peak period. In the off-peak period, parking would be
allowed in the curbside lane on the entire southbound roadway, and on the northbound roadway
between Folsom and Howard Streets, and between Piers 1 and 5. During these off-peak
periods, the number of travel lanes would therefore be reduced to two in each direction. Turn
lanes would be provided at key intersections: two left turn lanes at Broadway and at
Washington Street in the northbound direction and one left/U-tum lane at Washington in the
south bound direction. U-turns would be permitted mid-block between Mission and
Washington Streets at either end of the new central plaza.

Page Four
The roadway would also accommodate an exclusive transit right-of-way and bicycle lanes in
each direction. The F-Line would be constructed in conjunction with the Mid-Embarcadero
Roadway Project in an exclusive right-of-way in the roadway median north of Mission Street
and would run parallel to the northbound roadway along the eastern edge of the central plaza.
The Muni Metro Extension/F-Line Connector would be constructed in the roadway between
Mission and Folsom Streets in conjunction with the roadway project, if funding can be secured.
The outside parking/traffic lane would be 15 feet wide to accommodate motor vehicles and a
Class Three Bicycle route. During the peak periods, the bicycle lane would operate as a 4 foot
wide lane adjacent to an 11 foot wide travel lane. During off-peak periods, the bicycle lane
would operate as a 7 foot wide lane adjacent to an 8 foot wide parking lane.
Central Plaza
The realignment of The Embarcadero and the removal of parking in front of the Ferry Building
will result in the creation of a new central plaza located between the north and southbound
roadways. At its v^dest, a 131 foot wide central open space would accommodate a central
plaza (90 feet wide) and the planned Muni F-Line historic streetcar.
Pedestrian Improvements
A broad pedestrian promenade would be constructed on the Bay side of the roadway. The
pedestrian promenade W'ould be 25 feet wide between Folsom and Mission Streets and 35 to
50 feet wide in front of the Agricultural Building. The current parking lots to the north and
south of the main Ferry Building entrance would be removed to provide a promenade width
of 40 to 64 feet. North of the Ferry Building, the promenade would be 27 to 31 feet wide
between Pier 1 and Pier 5.
On the west side of The Embarcadero, new 15 foot wide sidewalks would be constructed with
certain exceptions. Between Mission and Howard Streets, the sidewalk width would vary from
6 feet (adjacent to Bayside Plaza at the south end of the block) to an average of 40 feet mid-
block. North of Mission Street, the sidewalk width would be a minimum of 10 feet.
All intersections of the reconstructed Embarcadero Roadway would be at-grade and signalized,
including Folsom, Howard, Mission and Washington Streets and Broadway. Market Street
would remain closed to vehicular traffic at The Embarcadero. Signalized, mid-block pedestrian
crossings would be provided on The Embarcadero between Mission and Market Streets,
between Market and Washington Streets and between Washington Street and Broadway.

Parking
There are currently 135 on-street parking spaces and 423 off-street parking spaces in the Mid-
Embarcadero Project area. The existing median parking and the parking directly in front of
the Ferry Building would be removed as part of the project. After implementation, there will
be approximately 219 on-street parking spaces. Off-peak parking would be provided in the
southbound and northbound curbside lanes, as described above. Passenger loading bays would
be located in the northbound roadway adjacent to and immediately north and south of the Ferry
Building.
If the off-street parking spaces are not replaced, there would be a resulting net loss of 339
parking spaces. This parking is proposed to be replaced with an underground parking garage
of up to 3 50 spaces on the soudiem half of Assessor' s Block 202, with access from Clay Street.
Please refer to Exhibit B for a preliminary parking garage layout.
On July 9, 1996 the Port Commission adopted Resolution No. 96-74 endorsing the inclusion
I of the parking garage as part of the preferred alternative for the Mid-Embarcadero Roadway
Project. Based on a recommendation by the Housing and Land Use Committee, the Board of
Supervisors has also adopted a resolution endorsing the inclusion of the garage as part of the
project. The timing of the construction of the garage, however, is linked to the timing of the
redevelopment of the Ferry Building.
Surface Street Improvements
A number of surface street improvements would be included as part of the Mid-Embarcadero
Roadway Project; a more detailed description of these improvements is included in Exhibit C.
Previous Port Commission Presentations and Actions
This project has been presented to the Port Commission on numerous occasions over the past
. several years, as described and summarized below.
September 9. 1992: An informational presentation was made by Port staff on design
alternatives for the replacement of the Embarcadero Freeway.
October 11. 1994: An informational presentation was made by the Waterfront Transportation
Projects Office regarding the Mid-Embarcadero Roadway and Open Space.
June 13. 1995: The Port Commission adopted Resolution 95-44, urging the
Approval of Mid-Embarcadero Roadway Project
Agenda Item 3C
Octobers, 1996

Public Transportation Commission to provide a connection between the F-Line and the Muni
Metro Extension and to provide continuous rail service along the northern waterfront.
October 10. 1995: The Port Commission adopted Resolution No. 95-85, recommending the
paired roadway as the preferred alternative for the Mid-Embarcadero Roadway.
July 9. 1996: The Port Commission adopted Resolution 96-74, approving the inclusion of an
underground parking garage on Block 202 as part of the preferred alternative for the Mid-
Embarcadero Roadway Project.
Project Review and Approval
The attached resolution would approve the preferred alternative for the general alignment of
the Mid-Embarcadero Roadway Project, which includes a split roadway in front of the Ferry
Building. There are a number of outstanding issues that remain, including the urban design for
the project, the replacement of lost parking due to the project, the final engineering and design
review and approval process to be followed, and other construction related issues such as traffic
routing, access to Port facilities, etc.
The staff is hereby requesting approval for the Executive Dkector to negotiate an agreement
with the Department of Public Works and other City departments regarding these and other
project related issues. In addition, an urban design concept has been prepared for the Mid-
Embarcadero Roadway Project under the direction of the Waterfront Transportation Projects
Office. The Port staff is recommending that urban design criteria be developed for the project,
which would be approved by the Port Commission in conjunction with the above referenced
agreement.

SUBJECT: Approval of Contract Amendment for Simon, Martin- Vegue Winkelstein,
Moris, for graphic design and planning commmilcation materials for the
Waterfront Plan.
DIRECTOR'S RECOMMENDATION:
AMENDMENT.
APPROVE THE PROPOSED CONTRACT
In September 1994, the Port entered into a contract with a graphic design team to design the
graphics and assist in the preparation of the text for a finished printing of the Draft Waterfront
Plan and an accompanying poster. The team consists of the architectural and planning firm of
Simon, Martin- Vegue, Winkelstein, Moris (SMWM), the graphic design firm of Tenazas Design,
and illustrator C. Tolon.
THIS PRINT COVERS CALENDAR ITEM NO. 7A
The Draft Waterfront Plan and Poster were recently printed and circulated to the Conunission,
City agencies, and numerous interest groups and citizens. To best serve the needs of the Port in
communicating the land use objectives to the broadest possible audiences, Port staff requested

ROLL CALL
The meeting was called to order by Commission President Michael Hardeman at 4:06
p.m. The following Commissioners were present: Michael Hardeman, Frankie Lee,
Preston Cook, James Herman and Denise McCarthy.
2. APPROVAL OF MINUTES - September 24, 1996
ACTION: Commissioner Cook moved approval; Commissioner McCarthy seconded the
motion. All of the Commissioners were in favor; the minutes of tlK meeting
were adopted.
3. EXECUTIVE
A. Executive Director's Report: Mr. Bouey reminded the Commission that Reet Week
will take place this week. Large crowds are expected to attend the event and staff
hopes that the event will go as smoothly as last year's.. He also reported that Serpac
made its first call last week. Between SSA and the Longshoremen we were able to
turn their ship around in six hours, which is half of what it would normally take and
Serpac indicated that it was their best turnaround in any West Coast port ever.
B. Resolution adopting findings under the California Environmental Quality Act (CF.QA)
related to a portion of the preferred alternative as set forth in the Einal Environmental
Impact Report (ETR) entitled "Alternatives to the Replacement of the Embarcadero
Ereeway and the Terminal Separator Strucmre," dated August 25, 1QQ6. (Resolution
No. 96-102)
Conmiissioner Cook requested that Items B and C be voted on separately. Wiih
Commissioner Cook's approval, Mr. Bouey responded that the two items will be
discussed together and votes will be taken separately at the conclusion of speakers'
comments.
Mr. Bouey stated that the City proposes to construct a new roadway freeway ramp
and associated street improvements in place of the elevated Embarcadero Freeway.
The transportation improvements are proposed as alternatives to an in kind
replacement of the former facility which constituted Route 480. The City Planning
Conmiission certified the final EIR/EIS for the proposed new Embarcadero roadway
on September 19, which includes six project alternatives including a preferred
alternative. The project described in the EIS/EIR includes two distinct elements: the
mid-Embarcadero roadway which is within the Port's jurisdiction and the terminal
M100896.igq -1-
separator structure which is not located within the Port's jurisdiction. Under CEQA,
the Port Commission must prepare written finding of facts that explain how it has
dealt with each significant impact. The findings addressed the following issues: (1)
project alternatives rejected as infeasible; (2) the mitigation measures adopted and
rejected and (3) and mitigation monitoring program and significant effects on the
environment and positive benefits related to the approval of the mid-Embarcadero
roadway project. He stated that Rebecca Kohlstrand, project manager for the
Waterfront Transportation project, will describe the preferred alternative and how it
became the preferred alternative and what it means to the Port and the Port
Commission. He mentioned that the Commission is voting only on the roadway
alternative not the design. The design of the Embarcadero roadway and the plaza will
be brought to the Commission at a later date.
Ms. Kohlstrand gave an overview of the last seven years of planning on this project.
In 1990, the City made the decision not to rebuild the Embarcadero freeway and in
doing so, began an evaluation process of many different alternatives for replacement
of that elevated freeway. Last fall, this item came to the Port Commission for
preliminary recommendation for incorporation into the final environmental document.
At that time, the Port Commission endorsed the paired roadway, which provided for a
major plaza directly in front of the Ferry Building and had the roadway pushed
toward the Justin Herman Plaza. There was a debate that occurred at the Art
Commission about whether the roadway should be split or paired and that carried
forward to the Board of Supervisors. In January of this year, the Board of
Supervisors officially endorsed the split roadway concept which is before the
Commission today. The Board accepted those parameters, incorporated them into the
draft environmental document and used them in terms of the urban design planning
they have undertaken m the last several months. It assumes a surface roadway
treatment in the Embarcadero that would have three lanes of traffic operational on
each direction during peak hours and during off peak hours, two lanes of traffic.
There will be passenger bus loading zones directly in front of the Ferry Building.
Consistent with the rest of Embarcadero, we have maintained a multi modal approach
in the mid-Embarcadero. They have incorporated an exclusive right of way for the F-
Line that will provide connecting service from the foot of Market Street around the
south of Justin Herman plaza area, coming out into the median of the roadway, and
extending an exclusive right of way north into Fisherman's Wharf along Jefferson
Street to Jones Street where it would loop coming back to Beach Street. That project
will become operational once the. mid-Embarcadero project is concluded. It also
includes the provision for the extension of the Muni Metro to the south. They are
just completing the Muni Metro Turnback project which tunneled underneath Justin
Herman Plaza and provide a rail extension to the south connecting into the surface
tracks at Folsom Street. The mid-Embarcadero project also incorporates the
opportunity to connect that Muni Metro Extension project with the F-Line by
establishing a set of tracks between Mission and Folsom Streets, which is known as
the Muni Metro Extension and F-Line Connector. To date, they have funds obligated
for the design of the trackway and they are trying to put in place funds to construct
. the transit project in conjunction with the mid-Embarcadero roadway. It also includes
a major pedestrian promenade along the waterfront, continuing the promenade that
Ml 00896. igq -2-
was established on both the north and south Embarcadero, maintaining the minimum
25 feet distance and increasing that distance in front of the Ferry Building to 40-60
feet, creating additional space for pedestrian crossmg and using that area. They have
also accommodated bicycles in the area by providing a bicycle lane. They are
proposing a 15-foot bicycle lane and are also considering adding and an additional
foot of that bicycle lane to respond to some of the concerns bicyclists have raised
about the safety of the existing bicycle lane.
The project also includes a parking garage. In September of this year, the Board of
Supervisors endorsed the incorporation of the replacement of a parking garage for the
Port in this project with the stipulation that it move ahead in conjunction with the
rehabilitation of the Ferry Building. It also includes a series of surface street
improvements to facilitate access into and around Chinatown and facilitate access
along the Embarcadero. Most of the improvements incorporated in the mid-
Embarcadero portion are along the Clay /Washington corridor. The Planning
Commission certified the environmental document in September of this year and they
are now poised for the Port Commission to endorse the project and forward that
recommendation to the Board of Supervisors.
The next steps in this project will be to conclude the approval process once they get
approval through the City process, which they hope to conclude in early November.
They still have to take the project forward to.BCDC, Metropolitan Transportation
Conmiission for approval and get the final record of decision from FHWA. They
hope that process will be concluded by the end of this calendar year. If they meet
that deadline, they would be able to complete their final design drawings during the .
first half of 1997, go out to bid mid 1997 with the intent of begiiming construction of
this project the first of 1998. Their current assessment is that it is a two-year
duration construction project. They hope to conclude by the end of 1999. They hope
to have a great New Year's Eve Party for the year 2000. Today ^ they are brining two
resolutions: (1) for adopting the findings and (2) for endorsing the project. They will
also be back in two weeks for further discussion on the Urban Design concept
associated with the Central Plaza in front of the Ferry Building.
Commissioner Cook mquired if the EIR fully discussed the paired alternative. Ms.
Kohlstrand responded to the affirmative.
ACTION: Commissioner Cook moved approval; Commissioner Lee seconded the
motion.
Commissioner Hardeman inquired about the difference in tune for the mnnel version
of the project. Ms. Kohlstrand responded that it will take one year for construction
and an additional year for the environmental work.
Ms. Eula Walters representing over 2200 citizens who have signed a petition that no
building be placed on Ferry Park stated that the open spaces should be designed for
multiple-purpose uses. She enumerated the committee's concerns:
Ml(X)896.igq . -3-
1) A minimum of palms along the open space area.
2) Ferry Plaza - the square footage should approximate an area which could
accommodate the Ferry Farmer's Market.
3) Paving should be a simple dark color like that which exists today in the middle of
the Embarcadero promenade. The stripes that are shown on the Roma model are
gaudy, impractical, costly to keep clean. The pavement should be smooth to
accommodate women's high heels.
4) No Art Work. Placing any permanent art work would limit the plaza to merely
an area to walk through or drive through. The F-Line cars should be stationed at
the comer lot of Stuart and Mission. Stationing the F-Line cars in front of the
Ferry Building obstructs the view of the Ferry Building. The cable cars should
remain beside the Hyatt Regency.
5) Grass means dirt which would clog the rail tracks and it would be costly to
maintain. Grass would make the plaza dysfunctional for other occasions.
6) Parking on Ferry Plaza is an ideal place for patrons of the Port Club and other
restaurants to park.
7) Special uses for Ferry Plaza: Grandstand seating (removable) for special events
and parades.

ACTION: Commissioner Cook moved approval to adopt the substitute resolution;
Commissioner McCarthy seconded the motion. All of the
Commissioners were in favor. The resolution, as amended, was
adopted.
Resolution approving the Department of Parking & Traffic (DPT) Variant with a split
roadway design for the Mid-Embarcadero Roadway and provision of replacement
parking, and authorizing the Executive Director to negotiate an agreement regarding
the review and final approval process for the project. (Resolution No. 96-103)
Vernon De Mars of DeMars & Maletic showed and gave the Commission a copy of a
drawing of the Ferry Plaza. He gave a brief description of his alternative plan.
Carl Maletic of DeMars & Maletic stated that the only difference in design that they
have been promoting over the last five and a half years is the alignment of the
southbound roadway. In the EIR document, the former general manager of the Rec &
Park, Mary Bums, stated that Altemative 5 would "adversely affect the forward
M100896.igq
resource." They disagree with that statement. They propose to have a land swap
between the Port and the City on this small parcel of land. They have outlined the
following procedures for the City to accomplish the land swap.
(1) Letter of agreement between Rec & Park and the Port and a formal offer made to
Rec & Park to acquire the square footage.
(2) Notice of public hearing posted in Justin Herman plaza 45 days prior to meeting.
The meeting should be held in McLaren Lodge and Ferry Building.
(3) Rec & Park meeting that would make a determination that offer compensation
that meets the requirements of the California Park and Preservation Act.
(4) Meeting of the Port that would pass a resolution to transfer the land between Rec
&Park.
(5) The Port request in writing opinion from State Lands Commission regarding
acceptability.
(6) Meeting of the State Lands Commission that would make a finding that the
acquired land is an equal or greater value than exchanged land.
(7) Port to meet and determine that the swap is in compliance with the Burton Act.
In conclusion, they feel that this plan can still be accomplished. He and Mr. DeMars -
were part of the group that initiated the movement of the split roadway along with
Supervisor Bierman hoping that there will be better access to the waterfront. They
feel that this is the space required to make a grand plaza in front of the Ferry
Building. Mr. DeMars added that this decision will be there for the next 50 to 100
years. He emphasized to make the decision in the right way, to leave it as open as
possible to get a comfortable plaza as possible.
Ernestine Weiss lives in the Golden Gateway center, heartily endorses DeMars and
Maletic's proposal to swap the land for the plaza which will make a world of
difference in design and beauty and hope that the Commission will consider this
seriously. The design of the stripes is horrible and hopes that it should be done over.
Commissioner Cook commented that he is troubled by this resolution. In the first
"resolved," it does say that the Port Commission hereby approves a split roadway
alignment. He cannot support a split roadway alignment. He does not think that this
is the grand plan that should be adopted for the City. He's not sure of the plan but
there are some great thinkers that have great ideas, including the two architects who
spoke. He thinks that what will happen is if it this plan goes through, in a few years
it will be reassessed as a poor plan; a plan that does not work, a plan that is not
hospitable to people, it does not bring people into the waterfront as a great plaza
would. This plan is not creative, not dramatic. The space is totally unusable. He
does not see any function that could be held in this space. It boggles him that this
M100896.igq
plan that is not grand, visionary, not deserving of the Port, not deserving of the City
is being discussed. He would like to see more citizen input.
Commissioner Hardeman stated that he understands Commissioner' Cook's position
but this plan has taken seven years and a lot of time and effort have been expended to
get to this point. Ms. Kohlstrand responded to some of Commissioner Cook's
concerns. There are two different issues: (1) the alignment of the roadway which is
the Commission is being asked to vote today; whether a paired or split roadway.
• They are carrying forward the alternative that was endorsed by the Board of
Supervisors. (2) There is, however, room for additional input for the design of the
plaza. They have been meeting with representatives from the Planning Commission
and looking at ways to soften the plaza. They want to try to get a direction from the
City collectively by the end of this year so it can be carried forward.
ACTION: Commissioner Lee moved approval; Commissioner McCarthy seconded
the motion. Four of the Commissioners were in favor; Commissioner
Cook cast the. dissenting vote. The resolution was adopted.
4. SPECIAL ITEM
A. Request by Cnrnmissinner James Herman to make a presentation on cargo. •
Commissioner Herman stated that this issue was scheduled on his motion for a special
public meeting so as to allow public input. He then corrected the description of this
item. The genesis of this Port Commission meeting is as a result of an article that
was written in a public newspaper. The Examiner, by Commissioner Preston Cook
and distributed to a civic organization, SPUR, advising the citizens of the City and
County of San Francisco that the Port of San Francisco is out of the cargo business.
It was ambiguous and a declaration without authority and completely inaccurate. The
article urges that the vast, unusable acreage now reserved for cargo should be put to
fiill productive, and sound economic uses such as a university campus, a biotech
multimedia industrial park. He understood that it is important to have this hearing
and make a clarification about some of the premises of Commissioner Cook's
arguments. We owe it to the citizens of San Francisco who have historically
supported keeping this Port in the container business and shipping business and other
maritime industries. Most recently, in 1990, the citizens of San Francisco voted
Proposition H and it was unequivocal in its declaration as to the requirement that
there be maritime access on the waterfront. This article urges that the vast, unused
and unusable acreage now reserve for cargo should be put to productive and sound
economic uses such as the university and the biotech and industrial park use. It
violates not only Proposition H but it violates the waterfront plan that approximately
thirty people diligently worked on for three years in order to offer a program in
keeping with Proposition H. It defies both of those issues and that is a startling
happenstance. To begin with, it is ridiculous to propose these types of uses next to
marine terminals because universities and biotech companies don't need work. Why
have expectations for that the land addressed in the article, hopefully if we do the
work we should be doing, we will need that land for maritime purposes. That land,
M100896.igq -6-
many years ago, would be a land bank and a good part of the southern waterfront
would be a land bank and that the northern waterfront, while it wouldn't be written
off, the real estate from the waterfront would provide income for the changes
scheduled to take place particularly in that area. There already is ample space for
these types of uses, elsewhere in the City. This hearing is a result of an obligation to
repudiate this erroneous argument that can only have a dire result of discouraging
steamship lines, shippers and maritime tenants from even thinking of coming to our
great City. This hearing is a result of the representation that cargo has no future at
the Port is completely wrong. There is a danger of having this argument become a
self-fulfilling prophecy if we don't meet our obligations to concentrate on maritime
cargo objectives. He happens to believe that real estate is crucial to this Port. It
should be cared for, it should be developed, maintained. The rent should be
appropriate. This argument amounts some proposition that real estate and maritime
cargo are mutually exclusive. Real estate and maritime have lived amicably together
for a long time. Clarifying the errors of Commissioner Cook's arguments that are the
basis of his conclusion that cargo has no hope at this Port is owed to three groups of
people. The first and foremost to the citizens of San Francisco, who have with
absolute regularity, with unfailing commitment historically supported keeping this
Port in the container and other cargo business. Most recently, in 1990, the citizens of
'San Francisco passed Proposition H, which specifically says in its preamble that the
land must be reserved for maritime purposes and other particular purposes as well.
Secondly, we owe a clarification to our existing maritime tenants like Parker
Warehouse, to newsprint terminal operator at Piers 27/29, the pilots and tugboats
companies. Foreign Trade Zone operator, ship repair yards and stevedoring
companies. Many of these companies have been doing business here for decades.
They have invested in this Port and we don't help their business by creating hysteria
about this Port pulling out of the cargo business. While the article might not
explicitly deter that, it is inferentially unavoidable. There are also trucking and
warehousing companies that operate on Port property that are not our tenants but help
us enormously to maintain industrial jobs in the City. If we were to shut down this
Port's cargo terminals, the full impact would not be limited to the southern
waterfront. At risk are other maritime tenants up and down the waterfront and
businesses throughout the City. We have already seen evidence of this with the
relocation of coffee warehouse facilities. He made it clear that he is an admirer of the
skillful work that has been done at the Port of Oakland and other ports and by
commenting on them is not intended to be a negative observation in any respect.
Maritime deals of public ports cannot be evaluated on how much dollars per square
foot they produce. Certainly, the Port must stay in the black. But equally important
is the contribution that maritime arrangements produce for the diversity of
employment in the City like San Francisco where the base of blue collar and other
work has been diminished drastically. There's a limit to how many people can work
in boutiques and other shops. Maritune facilities give the residents of this City and
region other types of employment opportunities. In the article. Commissioner Cook
suggests closing cargo terminals and at a recent Commission hearing, he has spoken
against future dredging at Piers 27/29. He advocated relocating the newsprint
operator to the southern waterfront even though our newsprint operator is completely
satisfied at Piers 27/29 and cannot and will not be shotgunned out of the facility he
M100896.igq
has enjoyed. What Commissioner Cook is advocating is getting rid of a long time
tenant whether they want to be moved or not. By doing this , we risk losing this
. tenant to another terminal, probably in another port in the Bay Area. That would be
shameful. These types of arguments and proposals by Commissioner Cook validate
the claun that he has a real estate obsession. Albeit Commissioner Cook comes from
a real estate background, but from his years of the shipping business, he knows that
you cannot measure the success of marine terminals or cargo warehouses as you do
office buildings or shopping centers. You cannot just count the dollars per square
. foot that you generate for the marine terminal to measure its success. To do this, you
ignore counting the amount of money and jobs produced by other businesses on and
off Port property. We heard the Director compliment the work force we have on this
waterfront. In this instance, the longshoremen who provided spectacular productivity
but there are other workers such as teamsters and seafaring people. There are people
who provide goods and services. The multiplication effect of a marine terminal is
incredible but if we reduce it to a buck, it may not look much but he intends to
effectively repudiate that foolishness. The inference made in Commissioner Cook's
article that universities, multimedia and industrial parks are "more productive" than
cargo facilities is highly objectionable to workers who for years have earned a good
living off maritime business on this waterfront.
Thirdly, we have a proud obligation to give full clarification to our potential
customers that they are welcome warmly at this Port as they always have been and
not write articles for public consumption that transmits anything but a welcome that
tells them if you are thinking of coming to San Francisco, you are impractical and
you are not living in the real world. While the article did not use those words, they -
are his and he believes that is the interpretation that must be given to this article. We
must provide this assurance beyond words with specific actions that transmit clear
commitment to cargo at this port. We have an unmistakable mandate from Mayor
Brown to concentrate on what has always been a primary objective and that is to
secure the maximum amount of shipping available to this Port.
Our messages are mixed. Port officials are giving newspaper interviews and speeches
about doing business in San Francisco. In Commissioner's Cook article, for example,
he lists eight negative reasons as to why San Francisco cannot compete as a cargo
Port. Is this a new marketing technique where the leadership of the Port or a leader
of the Port pretends to lure customers by citing all of those things that are negative or
alleged to be negative. How may CEOs of major companies run around publicly
touting all of the shortcomings of their products in the real and imaginary while their
staff hassles business. This type of marketing is like the chairman of a tobacco
company running around citing cancer statistics. It seems to him that lately there has
been a lot of double talking that has gone on in the leadership of this Port and in
Commissioner Cook's article is full of evidence of this. It is representative on the
one hand that the Port has a cargo future and on the other hand, articles like the one
written by Commissioner Cook undermine the confidence of the citizens of San
Francisco in this Port. That confidence is ongoing. You can go to the bank with that
declaration. There is no confusion among customers that the Mayor and the
Commission stood behind the work of our experienced cargo staff who were all on
M100896.igq -8-
the same page when it came to bringing new shipping customers and make sure they
stayed at our Port. We have done more than just talk about profits for public
relations purposes. We went out and tried to close deals to make a profit for the Port
and worked hard at building cargo facilities, the kind of cargo facilities that the
citizens of San Francisco are indeed proud of For example, he had the benefit of
meetmg of Chairman Chang of the large Evergreen Lme at the Fairmont Hotel where
a fmn promise was issued for the San Francisco shipping industry. The Port
committed to Chairman Chang that it would fix the tunnels for its double stacked
cargo. This was a solid deal offered to him which we reneged on. He is not talking
about contemporary figures. He is giving examples of some grievous errors that were
made in the past. When Evergreen Line made that commitment to remain at Pier 94,
it was a commitment based upon their survey and their skill as to the viability of that
company being here with the one accommodation that was necessary and it was a
commitment that we did not live with. We relied on the fact that we would meet our
commitment to give them the infrastructure that they needed. That commitment
didn't stop with modernizing Pier 94/96 and building the ICTF. Firing senior cargo
marketing staff in two rounds of layoffs and reorganizing the Port Maritime staff so
that cargo operations were no longer in one cohesive maritime division. Like at
every major port in the country, steamship lines and shippers now have a false image
with the welcome mat for cargo business in San Francisco has been rolled up.
Potential customers are reluctant to look at this port seriously. Our cargo revenues
will continue to decline and unless we reaffirm our commitment to the cargo industry
and pledge all of us to be on the same team in serious pursuit of cargo. If he
leadership of this port does not send a clear and unequivocal message that we want
cargo here, it will be a self-fiilfilling prophecy that is on its way to being accepted in -
the industry by government and by citizens of this magnificent City, who have never
failed to support this Port. The Port has always been a great source of pride and
loyalty. While this Port's cargo business volumes won't be in 1996 what they were
in 1990 or 1980, there is without a doubt lots of cargo out there to be found that can,
should and he hopes will come to San Francisco. Cargo volumes continue to grow
rapidly and at least 5% increase per year is expected over the next few years. Let's
not forget that this Port is in the middle of the four largest economic regions in the
country. Evidence of the fact that there was still shipping business for this Pon to
claim is the return of Serpac, a consortium of three South American lines. Through
the leadership and intervention of Mayor Brown, our Port docks will once again be
used to unload cargo from Latin American and that includes wines, fruits and other
cargoes.
Before discussing some of the specific issues raised in Commissioner Cook's article,
he reminded everyone about the process of this Port's shipping terminal.
He personally toured Pier 80, which is a cargo terminal, where today there is not one
pound of cargo being handled. He has seen the superior facilities that Pier 80 has to
offer and have confirmed with shipping industry people who know the business that
Pier 80 is one of the most outstanding terminals anywhere in the Bay Area. This is a
70-acre pier with four cranes and 225,000 square feet of shed space available for
cargo storage for weather sensitive cargo such as lumber coffee and other items that
M100896.igq
are perishable. The pier has repair shops and five deep water berths. During the
Agnos administration, this Port spent over $6 million fixing the terminal. Pier 80 has
refrigerated cargo spaces, state of the art underground utilities, unproved storage
areas, easy truck access to the freeways, to the Oakland Bay Bridge. The South
Container Terminal at Piers 94/96 near Hunter's Point has 75 acres of land reserved
for future cargo uses. The modem electronic improvements to the entrance gate with
computers that provide fast cargo receipt and delivery are outstanding. There is over
185,000 feet of covered shed space, three deep water berths. San Francisco is
currently one of a few ports with on dock or near dock rail service which allows
container boxes to be transferred to and from ship to rail. The container does not
have to leave the terminal to be placed at some distant location onto a rail car. It is
done at the terminal. He does not know of any other place where that service is that
available. There are other competitive advantages such as shorter steaming time to
port. San Francisco is the closest port to the Golden Gate Bridge, allowing ships to
avoid the long steam time and cost of sailing into Stockton or Sacramento. Our
terminals are multiple use facilities. They conserve both container and breakbulk
carriers with the highest degree of efficiency. We have flexible terminal use
agreements that allow a customer to unload, store and assemble cargo at the terminal.
The Port of San Francisco has as much shorter rail time for processing cargo than
more congested terminals elsewhere. In fact, most of the terminals elsewhere are
confronted with the congestion problem.
He offered a rebuttal to Commissioner Cook's other arguments. Commissioner Cook
list eight negative reasons why the Port cannot stay in the cargo business.
Railheads and geography. The alleged problem that our Port has with rail has
become bigger than the Ferry Building. Commissioner Cook's comment that there is
only one railroad serving San Francisco and Oakland has three rail lines. This is
totally inaccurate. Today, Oakland has one railroad serving its port— the Union
Pacific. The Union Pacific acquired the Southern Pacific, which has been San
Francisco's traditional railroad. Therefore, it is indisputable that Oakland and San
Francisco are served by the same number of railroads. It is served by one railroad —
Union Pacific in Oakland and Union Pacific in San Francisco. Until Oakland holds
its JIT (the Joint Intermodal Terminal), it has no direct rail access to the Santa Fe
railhead in Richmond. Like cargo originating in Richmond, that container box would
also have to be trucked to Santa Fe's yard in Richmond. If there is such concern over
this railroad problem, why haven't top level marketing efforts been directed at
working with Union Pacific prior to and after the merger to ensure that efficient rail
service to our terminal was maintained and if possible increased. He doesn't think
that the overtures and discussions to UP at a high level like this Commission used to
do years ago with SP had in fact taken place. These misrepresentations have a cold
blooded effect of discouraging shippers and others from coming to this Port because
the Port has been so badly misrepresented by all of these foolish conversations.
The next big railroad revelation that has recently preoccupied people here is the
business about San Francisco cargo taking longer to reach the Midwest than Oakland
cargo. He's sure everyone here has heard about that argument and everyone has been
M100896.igq -10-
deceived by that argument because it is not accurate. According to the argument, it
would take two days for Union Pacific to take our railcars around the bay through
Wann Springs to. Oakland where it is assembled with Oakland cargo then hauled out
to the Midwest. When the tunnel project was shelled, he's heard this article
repeatedly and it was used to justify the shutting down of the tunnel project with a
consequential loss of ships and cargo. When the tunnel project was shelled, he
testified against it. He wasn't successful in changing the minds of people but since
then he has done some research and has talked to a host of people knowledgeable of
the shipping business because this argument is troubling when you evaluate the
consequences. He's learned from the industry expert that there has been a
fundamental flaw in this argument because it overlooks the logistics of handling
intermodal container boxes at an ICTF. The whole reason for building the ICTF at
Piers 94/96 was to avoid having to assemble railcars at the Oakland or Warm Spring
yards. With a large transpacific carrier like Evergreen or Cosco, there would be
sufficient boxes to make it worth the railroad's time to assemble the car at the ICTF
and haul directly from our on dock terminal to the Midwest. The notion about two
days or four days is hogwash. San Francisco cargo could reach the Midwest in equal
time to Oakland cargo without any delays. Without the tunnel project, the Port places
itself in a serious disadvantage in competing aggressively for transpacific lines with
the volumes to assemble fiill unit trains at the ICTF at Piers 94/96.
There are still transpacific lines that could and will be persuaded to bring intermodal
cargo dependent on rail to San Francisco. We have to work on it. We cannot make
negative declarations and expect that suddenly by magic turn around. In the past, rail
problem has been overcome by offering discounts on port fees, dockage, crane -
rentals, wharfage to offset the cost of trucking boxes across the bridge to Oakland
railhead. Transpacific carriers like Evergreen and Cosco took advantage of these
discounts and grew their business in San Francisco. Cargo not dependent on any type
of rail service - local cargo, is another type of cargo that moves through Bay Area
ports. With the cargo rail, geography is not a problem and San Francisco has
historically competed very favorably in this market. There will always be small
carriers looking for local markets.
Cargo origination - it is argued that San Francisco is at a disadvantage because only
15-20% of goods manufacmred in the Bay Area originate in this side of the bay and
San Francisco's manufacturing has diminished over the past several decades to now
almost nonexistent level. At one time, this Port had 15-20% of the whole Bay Area
cargo market. We were loading up those cargos from this side of the Bay more.
Why is this all of a sudden a problem when it was not a problem before when this
Port was not doing $6 million in cargo business that was just five years ago. He is
not persuaded that in five years, there has been a massive relocation of
manufacmring, assembling and distributing firms. This argument is weak because
truckers travel hundreds of miles from the Central Valley with fruits, vegetables, hay'
to ports in Oakland and even to the Port of Los Angeles. The argument focuses on
exports but what imports? There is still a big import market between San Francisco
and San Jose with brokerage houses and distribution centers in the Peninsula and
close to the airport. He thinks that the methodology of this in-house report that
M100896.igq -11-
«
reached this conclusion needs to be reviewed more carefully. Niche cargo may be a
1990s word but there is nothing new about it. Niche cargo is the same cargo that has
been loaded and off loaded in this Port for over 80 years. Now, we can say that
instead of working coffee at the docks of this Port as years ago, we worked niche
cargo. Niche cargo is a catch-all phrase encompassing all cargo available to a Port by
the existence of its marine terminal storage facilities, rail and/or highway access. For
example, fruits and vegetables are niche market. For ports like Hueneme, San Diego,
Philadelphia, Baltimore, who have built up cold storage facilities. All those have also
become a niche for other ports like Boston, even Los Angeles and Piers 94/96. The
point is that less time is needed to be spent talking about the niche cargo and more
time spent going after it in a serious way. Let's put the success stories of Oakland,
L.A., Long Beach and Seattle aside for one moment and look at the success stories of
smaller ports that are producing impressive cargo tonnage and keeping workers
employed at their terminals. Our sister port in the Bay Area, Redwood City, recent
press reports that cover Redwood City's new success in the shipping business.
Redwood City is now the fourth largest steel exporter in the country. Redwood City
will report $1.4 million in revenue from their cargo operation. Redwood City relies
55 % of their business from scrap metal export to Asia. This year in the ranking of
small Bay Area ports. Redwood City is behind Stockton and Sacramento in tonnage of
commodities. He's looked at the cargo moving in and out of Richmond. Beside their
petroleum business, he's discovered that they are brining an impressive volume of
meat, vegetables, coffee, beverage, wood and equipment. This year Stockton is
generating the highest volume of tonnage for the Bay Area. In Central and Southern
California, Hueneme and San Diego have grown their cold storage business, fruits
and vegetables. These ports don't just sit idly around. They have sales people. They -
have people hustling cargo. They have people whose commitment is to b ring ships
along with a variety of cargo to their respective ports. We have one person at this
port, Jill Simpson who does an outstanding job for this port. She's out all the time,
visiting as many people as she can visit. One person employed by this Port to solicit
cargo, encourage steamship companies to come to this port. This is inexplicable. He
complimented the work that she has done and confident that the work that she has
done, with some help, will grow.
This Port of San Francisco does not have a Maritime Department. It does not have a
Maritime Director. It has one salesperson, where for 80 years, we have had direction
from skilled and confident Maritime Directors with a staff of competent people
regularly hustling cargo with unbelievable success. We now have combined the
Maritime Department with the Real Estate Department. We have a gentleman, who
has just been hired, but has no maritime experience. If we think that there is
something that make sense between real estate and maritime, it is a serious error.
They are indivisible. Real estate properties of this port needs special attention. He's
sure from this Director that real estate does get and continue to get that special
attention and those services will grow but you cannot take a real estate manager and
tell him that he will direct maritime and provide no back up staff, just simply give lip
. service to cargo and replace that vital department with empty offices. He takes strong
and powerful exception to that. How can you talk about growing cargo, about being
where cargo is, about being where the customers are. It will be tough enough after
M100896.igq -12-
the article but how can you sell that bill of goods. We don't have a Maritime
Manager. We have one salesperson. It is outrageous. To add cargo to this Port, it
takes staff just like it takes staff to perform the other functions at this Port. That is
the gaping hole in San Francisco and that was the catalyst for this meeting and we
would get public input commenting on these things where we know of cargo that is
available in smaller ports. We know of the success of other ports that have never
shared the success of this port of San Francisco, where they have people who are
experienced, performing a steady skilled job and we don't have no one at this Port,
excepting Jill. The only way it can be dealt with is by a motion that reinstates that
department that employs a highly skilled, tested, competent, maritime/cargo director
and appropriate staff. If you put people out on the streets, if you give people
opportunity to adjust this Port to the cargoes that are available, there will be new jobs
in the City. There will be new business for business enterprises. All sorts of
businesses are viable. They make money. They support families. It cannot be done
in this City. His motion is to reinstate that department. There are people who are
enlisted who have the ability, who will work with you, who want very badly for this
Port to be revitalized and urged the Director respectfully that this be done. He also
urged that these negative articles that create a fundamental contradictions among the
people who live in this community be stopped. This Port has to have a priority,
dedication to its maritime. We have demonstrated that the cargo is there. We know
that it takes us hustling the cargo and not using explanations that are not valid. He
hopes that people support that proposition and he closed by thanking for their time
and apologizing for taking more time than he should have.
Commissioner Hardeman stated that is the longest presentation he has ever heard in -.
any Commission or Board he's sat on. He also conmiented that he has never saw one
with more passion and more research done by anyone doing a presentation.
Commissioner Cook applauds Commissioner Herman for making. his remarks. He
hopes that they would turn out to be constructive. He hopes that this Port does look
at the entire issue of cargo and what direction it is going in and what should be done,
what can be done and what is practical. He thinks it is a tough challenge. His article
expressed those challenges. He looks at it as a realistic view of the conditions of this
Port. It is very tough and very difficult. It has not been addressed as he had
addressed it. It has not been addressed as Commissioner Herman has now addressed.
This is going to allow for some good dialogue. He'd like to see it and it will
probably better this Port in knowing what direction to go in. He had a great deal of
admiration for Commissioner Herman over the years. He is proud of his real estate
background and he also has a maritime background, serving as the consultant to the
Senate Maritime Committee for the State of California. Bemg appointed to this
Commission three and a half years ago, he did not have preconceived notions about
maritime. He felt it was a maritime port and he acted accordingly. He supports
maritime all the way along until this year. This Commission has voted every vote to
support maritime. The only negative vote that has been taken by him was not to
continually subsidize container cargo. Though this Commission and this Port stand in
the forefront all of the maritune uses up and down this Port. Most of the maritime
uses, as we all know, are subsidized. He voted for those subsidies and that should
M100896.igq -13-
happen because it benefits this Port, the waterfront and San Francisco. It would be
difficult and time consuming to try to counter some of the arguments that
Commissioner Herman made about his article. He stands by his article. He thinks
they are accurate. They are facmal. They are very direct. They bring up a lot of
emotion, a lot of anger about these issues on maritune. It's an issue that has been
fought for many years. We have led a gallant battle over the years to try to maintain
maritime industry and that is cargo in San Francisco. It has unfortunately been a
losing battle. He recognized that but he also recognized Commissioner Herman's
determination to try to do something about it. He would certamly be on board if
there is a plan that would bring cargo back to this Port. Instead of countering all of
those issues that Commissioner Herman brought up regarding his article, he submitted
his two articles (one from the SPUR publication and one from the Examiner) for the
record, instead of going over point by point the notes he's taken concerning
Commissioner Herman's remarks. He differed with Commissioner Herman's
statement that he had no authority to write these articles. He disagrees with that.
Commissioner Herman is a very independent person. He has had opportunities in the
past to go around this Commission. He feels that he went around this Commission by
writing this article. He is an individual and like all of us, we all have a right for
freedom of speech. He has written this article and if he is so inclined, he will write
another article. He will be forthright as he has been for three and a half years on this
Commission about his views on what should be done. For that matter, he disagreed
with Commissioner Herman and he would never tell him not to write an article and
would never tell him not to speak on issues he feels are important. He will always
allow him that courtesy and he hopes he would do the same thing for him.
• Walter Johnson, S.F. Labor Council, agreed with Commissioner Herman's
remarks. What Commissioner Herman was touching upon is the life of San
Francisco, not only the Port. He represents 75,000 union members in the City.
The job, the system and all the things involved, the Port has a golden opportunity
if it follows Commissioner Herman remarks to begin the change and bring a new
life not only to the Port but to the City of San Francisco.
• Christopher Martin, The Cannery, stated that he's been involved with Port
related matters since the late 1970s when he was president of the Fisherman's
Wharf Association. He also co-chaired various Port task forces over the years.
He was an active supporter of the successful passage of the 1994 Revenue Bond
Measure which provided the Port with $42 million for maritime related
improvements. He has heard and it disturbed him when he hears that someone
from the Port authorized soil testing for a Home Depot at Pier 80. Virtually
every land use document over the past 30 years has reserved Pier 80 for cargo
shipping and its future expansion. The ink is not yet dry on the waterfront land
use plan and someone at the Port is rurming counter to the land use policies that it
establishes. They had a similar manipulation of Commission policy of
Fisherman's Wharf within the past two years when someone at the Port
redirected federal funds which were provided for the purpose of analyzing the
feasibility of a fisheries research center on Pier 45 to instead investigate the
feasibility of a shopping center. It's important to understand the genesis of
M100896.igq -14-
Proposition H which stem from the public mistrust of the Port's land use policies.
Prop H passed because of the widespread public sentiment that passed policy
decisions by the Port adversely affected maritime uses. The voters have
mandated that the Port's land use decisions be consistent with the vision to
protect and foster maritime as well as recreational activities on the waterfront for
fumre generations to enjoy. Shutting down the cargo marketing and development
department, encouraging a home depot at the premier cargo handling facility is
counter to the intent and spirit of Prop H. If the Port continues to ignore the
voter mandate, there will be other ballot initiatives to direct policies and
decisions. Planning by the initiative process is tedious and ctmibersome. If the
Port continues to run counter to the grain, evading common sense decisions and
making consistent policy decisions, it would be inevitable. He urged the
Commission to adopt the actions that Commissioner Herman recommends today
and reestablish San Francisco's future with cargo.
• Brian Mc Williams, President ILWU, reiterated the importance of maritime cargo
and maritime presence at the Port. He too has participated in a number of port
committees. On the Port's behalf, the Port is an unattainable position because
they are constantly held accountable for the bottom line of the Ports budget and
the Port does not have the ability to levy taxes. The impact that industrial jobs
that this Port can create is incredible. There is no system that allows the Port to
get credit for the impact they had on the community. It is unfair so many of the
decisions have made over the years have been to address just that bottom line and
not the ripple effect that happens to the community based on the actions of the
Port. He indicated there is no question that the cargo volumes are there and will -
continue to be there and we can attract those back to San Francisco if we do it the
right way. The issue of any kind of combination of maritime and real estate
being represented by the same department is ludicrous. They are juxtaposed in
their whole missions. The maritime resource has the potential always to create
jobs and create maritime cargo opportunities. Once it's gone, it's gone forever.
We have a wonderful resource and we need to maintain it. An independent
maritime department inside the Port is vital to our ability to build cargo fumres.
• Jane Morrison, Waterfront Plan Advisory Board and San Francisco Tomorrow,
stated that everybody wants more shipping, ferryboats, water taxis, boat harbors
and tugboats; whatever makes the waterfront looks alive and they urgently want
more open space and more access to the waterfront. She recognizes it's difficult
but she hopes that the Port continues to make maximum effort to increase the
shipping and other uses of the water. She thinks it's great of what's happening
with fishing and hopes that there is the same intensity for cargo and other water
uses. The City needs a lot of good paying jobs here. She doesn't think that all
cargoes go to the Midwest. A lot of cargo could come to San Francisco and it
can be distributed here. We ought to. concentrate on the railroad service and try
to get better railway service in San Francisco. Let's keep the waterfront open.
• Sara Anne Towery, a Port Planning consultant with Jordan Woodman Dobson,
; .. stated that they have recently done the operating plans for all the major container
M100896.igq -15-
terminals on the West Coast and many international terminals. They know what
the steamship lines want because they are their clients along with all the major
terminal operators and stevedoring companies. They see this as less a marketing
issue than the fact that the 1990s market has changed. The issue is service and
cost. The fastest way to get the cargo from the ship to the rail and the truck and
speed it on its way to the shipper is what is important to their clients. Time is
money for each of the participant in this cargo chain. The market has changed.
Now it's containers going to larger areas and being shipped inland. One of their
clients mentioned that transportation infrastructure is the #1 criteria. She quoted
her client, "Free and unrestricted access for ships, trucks, rail and all of that
traffic to the hinterlands and to the region is what is critical. If they designed the
fastest, most productive container terminal in the whole world, there is a problem
when that container box leaves the terminal." The vast majority of the cargo
destinations are east of San Francisco bay. The other impact that needs to be
addressed is San Francisco's traffic. Even with the double stack tunnel, making
up a train in San Francisco is slower. Time is money. Location is still important
with real estate and shipping. San Francisco's location adds time and cost that
the clients don't want. There are niche markets out there. Niche markets can be
accessed and marketed. San Francisco was chosen as the number one travel
destination for tourists in the U.S. and the number 2 favorite travel city in the
world. The Port of Vancouver has been having tremendous success with cruise
terminals. She suggested looking at the cruise ship terminals. She congramlated
the fishing efforts put forth at the Port.
• Gunnar Lundeberg, Sailors Union of the Pacific, signed up to speak but left.
• Barry Binsky, IBU-ILWU Member, stated he has seen a lot of changes since the
1960s. They've heard a lot of talk of losing the fight for the waterfront. He
doesn't know if the fight was lost or we just threw the towel in on a lot of things.
The thinking was we could ship all of that to Oakland, they'd get the real work
and we'd end up the boutiques and the tourists. We could have ended up with
the boutiques, the tourists and the waterfront, maybe not the world's massive
container terminal but certainly something that would sustain life and a living to
the citizens of San Francisco. You see a resource that almost anyone in the
world would do anything for, in terms of a cargo port. Somehow it has always
been outside of our grasp. What he's seen happen in San Francisco really started
at the Port and worked its way inland. He gave his greatest hopes to
Commissioner Herman that there can be a separate department or a forum where
we can look at what the market is for the port and what can we do with the port.
• Mike Comaich, from Diamond Freight System, stated that he's argued a lot of
points with the Commission and lost them all. He agreed with Commissioner
Herman's remarks.
• Edward Lortz, representing self, stated that he's been on the maritime industry
for over 30 years. He had been involved in ship operation, maintenance, design
and construction until taking early retirement recently. His remarks were
M10b896.igq -16-
directed at container cargo, distinct from niche cargo. He thought that it's best to
answer by reading a summary of his position in a letter he published in the
Examiner, March 10, 1995. His letter reads, "My experience prompts me to
comment on the editorial concerning the enlarging of the Bayview District
Railroad Tunnels. The Port Commission absolutely made the correct decision in
canceling plans for the mnnels. The Port of San Francisco should not compete
with the Port of Oakland as a container port. Any attempt to increase our
container capability simply ignores the logistics of the bay area. We are a City
surrounded by water and congested bridges. Oakland is a natoral for container
handling logistics. Money spent in trying to upgrade container facilities in San
Francisco is a waste. A port propositioned in the current financial picture. The
two ports must compete as a team with the rest of the West Coast. Anything else
is suicidal for the whole bay area as a maritime economic entity. San Francisco
should concentrate on passenger service, ship repair and fishing. The new
Waterfront Land Use Plan has many good suggestions." In looking over other
resources of information, he strongly agrees with the points made by
Commissioner Cook and backed up by SPUR including railroads, geography,
cargo origination and high cost of competition. With the natural disadvantages of
San Francisco as a container port, we shouldn't compete and competition will get
hotter. Asian trade is shifting from Japan to north Asia, which was 75 % of the
Asian container cargo five years ago, to Singapore and southeast Asia as a "
source, which now accounts for 40%, up from 25% in the same five-year time
frame. Twenty percent of all these southeast Asian trades now go to the East
Coast because it is faster by as much as two days. The new longshoremen's
contract does not help either. The new West Coast contract is two years shorter, -
more expensive and more restrictive than the new East Coast contract. To
summarize, the greater retom on investment and greater increase from jobs will
come from niche cargo, passenger ships, fishing boats, ship repair, maritime uses
and other uses outlined in the Waterfront Plan. He added that he supports
Commissioner Herman's suggestion to solicit niche and non-container within the
existing, logistics realities of today.
• Glen Ramiskey, representative of the ILWU, West Coast Dock Workers,
applauds Commissioner Herman for raising this issue and bringing it to the
attention the Commission and the conmiunity. He found the articles and the
representations by Conunissioner Cook to be bankrupt. What this Commission
needs to do is provide a vehicle for dialogue to bring this issue to the forefront
and get the Port of San Francisco back in the maritime industry.
• Graham Claytor, Senior Vice President for RailAmerica, Inc., a railroad holding
company and intermodal operating company as well stated that one of the
questions that has been asked was what happened to all the ships, what happened
to the Port. It should be very obvious that what has happened is we stopped
using steam power vessels and we stopped shipping everything on pelletized
containers, we moved to boxes where tiie cargo can be moved expeditiously. We
have some 80 piers headed this way and 35 of these piers are designed for
handling these breakbuUc cargos and so what sorts of maritime use are we going
M100896.igq -17-
to put these piers to - we have paper handling in one, passenger tenninal, tugboat
operators in one and fishing companies. For the rest of these piers, they sit
empty because we can't fmd the maritime use for them. The Port does have
excellent maritime facilities and they have done an excellent job in collecting
customers and using these facilities. But for the rotting piers that we have that
we need to maintain and the Port has to spend money on, those we need to
address. Certainly, we give first preference to maritime use where we can find
it, where we can attract it. But if we can't, we got to have some income, or these
piers will just simply fall into the ocean. If we don't do something to generate
some income to support these buildings, there won't be any buildings left to
argue about.
• Jennifer Clary, on the Waterfront Committee of San Francisco Tomorrow stated
that she disagrees with Conmiissioner Cook's article and Op Ed piece in the
Examiner. The Waterfront Land Use Plan and the EIR that was published in
May on that plan also voice the same sentiments by Port staff. She suggested
changing our attitudes and accentuate the positive.
• Nan Roth, who served on the Waterfront Advisory Board, addressed two issues:
(1) while she was on the Waterfront Plan Advisory Board, the Port had a
workshop to study future demand for cargo facility in San Francisco, she didn't '
think any of the Port Commissioners were in attendance at the workshop. There
were similar types of events held for the WFAB, although former Commissioner
Halsted attend some of those events, rarely did any of the Commissioners
attended them. At the workshop, everybody representing the cargo handling
industry said there would be a significant demand for San Francisco's Port
facilities in the future. The conclusions of that work shop should be made
available to this Commission. What it boiled down to was there was goins to be
an incredible increase in shipping in the near future. The Port facilities that open
would soon prove inadequate and given the disadvantages of the other potential
port sites in the bay area, the San Francisco Port site was the most desirable, next
to Oakland, despite the railroad problems which could be ironed out. (2) She
feels that the critical issue within the Port management is the competition between
real estate, maritime, fishing and cargo handling functions. If you look back at
the history of Pier 45 and after a very checkered history, it is today a very
successful handling facility. The Port and others who worked so hard for that
facility deserved commendation for finally having achieved that. Nonetheless,
there were many meetings like this one where there were people testifying there
is going to be a need for this facility. All of these things go in cycles; they do
come back. The fish came back, the cargo handlers came back because this is the
location where they want to be and this is where their market was. She hopes
that the Port is going to expand that facility and there will be more business.
• William Hallett, affiliated with the ILWU, stated that the ports of Long Beach
and Long Angeles are expanding. The cities are building new railroads; they
have the Alameda corridor. They are tearing down a naval base that is abandoned
to accommodate a container facility. The work is booming; the City is booming.

He was curious of what happened to San Francisco.
William Underwood, represents the Pacific Islanders Cultural Association, the
Port's present tenant at Pier 29. They have been asked to move to Pier 26
because it is going to be retrofitted but now he hears that someone had planned to
dredge it. He would like a clarification on this matter. He also requested a
clarification as to why they were told to put up $10,000 to hold an event at Pier
45. Mr. Bouey suggested that Mr. Underwood meet with Mr. Lewis, Director of
Tenant and Maritime Services, on these issues.
• Fred Pecker, with the ILWU, stated that we need to look at what having a
working waterfront means and to ensure that we maintain this as a viable City for
all people. He looks forward to the Commission's getting back on track and start
bringing the tonnage back onto the piers.
• Marina Secchitano, is a member of Waterfront Advisory Committee and an
employee at the Golden Gate Ferry, stated that she is in favor of Commissioner
Herman's motion and thinks that it is important that the Commission rededicate
itself on a monthly basis to maritime. The Committee spent a long time trying to
identify the areas they felt should be kept for maritime. She suggested that we do
everything possible to encourage any kind of maritime activity. She's saddened
by the Commission's decision to return the funding back to the State on the
tunnel project. She suggested keeping maritime a priority.
• N. Teresa Rea, Co-Chair of SPUR Waterfront Committee submitted the
following written comments for the record:
1) SPUR strongly supports the Waterfront Plan.
2) SPUR supports the plan for non-maritime uses north of China Basin
Channel.
3) SPUR recognizes there are maritime uses north of the channel now and
recognizes their right to stay but SPUR believes in the future maritime uses
should be consolidated south of the channel.
4) SPUR supports the allocation of land for maritime uses south of the channel.
If the Port and Waterfront Advisory Committee in then: plan believe that the
allocated amount of land is needed for San Francisco's shipping future,
SPUR will support that.
5) SPUR believes that the Port Director's ongoing efforts and the Waterfront
Plan represent the appropriate balanced approach to the use of these valuable
resources. ,
• Dennis Andrade, Bay Merchants Warehouse and Deans Services provided the
following written comments for the record: "I support Mr. Herman's position.
Where other ports have blossomed, my business indeed has shrunk due to the
lack of concern and drive by the Port of San Francisco. I do personally witness
the aggressiveness of the Southern/Northern based ports. Many companies like
' mine have closed up or shrunk down to dribbles. Along with the loss of
M100896.igq -19- • '
, t
businesses in San Francisco that support the port, also go many jobs, facilities
and a future in this industry for our young."
Conunissioner McCarthy stated that she has spent the last ten years working on
various efforts on the northern waterfront and planning issues including the
Waterfront Plan. The issue of maritime is near and dear to her. She is begmning to
learn more about the operations of the Port and is concerned about cargo. About a
month ago, the Commission, except Commissioner Cook, voted to again subsidize
shippmg in the amount of $750,000, which at the time, is the right thing to do.
However it seemed it made sense to look at what was happening with cargo before we
were in that position a year from now. She has spoken with the Executive Director
and the Marketing department that there is a perception in the City and everybody
who testified today agrees with that perception or feels that perception exists that this
Port is no longer in the cargo business. We have to take changes and positive steps to
change that perception. The Port has always intended and remains in the cargo
business but this notion of the perception is very important. No matter what you do if
the perception still remains, you have not in fact done enough. She had hesitations
and was not certam where this hearing is headed and had spoken to Commissioner
Herman about it. However, she is pleased that it took the form that it has and it is
healthy and good that it is out in the open since people are talking about it. She
believes that at least one step we can take to change this perception is to make certain
that we do have an aggressive, dedicated cargo/sales marketing staff. She believes
that we should not continue to subsidize if we are not giving our all to bringing in
more cargo/maritime business. She is not prepared to support a plan that will move
people around. She thanked the speakers for coming. This sends a message that
there is real support from all sides.
Commissioner Lee stated that this is the most mteresting Commission meeting he has
ever attended in his two and a half year term. He thinks this is a very healthy
discussion. He is saddened that there is a public perception that Port is not doing
enough in maritime and cargo as well as everything else. This is a tough position to
be in because the Port tries to juggle public demands while, at the same time, the Port
only has limited resource. He agreed with Commissioner Herman that
cargo/maritime, real estate leasing are not mutually exclusive. He is disturbed that
there is a public perception that staff is not doing anything. Whatever staff does, the
public does not seem to appreciate it.
To give credit to staff. Commissioner Lee then gave a presentation on the Port's
history since he joined the Port Commission two and a half years ago. In one year,
the Port lost $3.5 million; the following year, the Port gained back $1.9 million. The
first year he joined the Port, the Port's income has gone up. In 1990, cargo revenue
was $10 million; however, it declined every year since. Around the time he became a
Commissioner, Cosco and Evergreen decided to leave San Francisco for Oakland.
Under Dennis Bouey's direction, he combined the maritime and the leasing
department which, in the past, the two departments were going after the same
business or ignoring the same business. . By combining the two departments, the
commercial leases have gone up. Because the staff was more aggressive with leasing,
M100896.igq -20-
there was a perception that staff forgot about cargo but in reality there was no cargo
coming to San Francisco. The commercial leasing revenues made up for the cargo
revenue we lost, which put the Port in the black. Maritime refers to all activities
happening in the waterfront related to water. All activities in the maritime are up
except cargo. Ferry service is up. Commissioner Herman inquired about the
significance of ferry passenger service to the Port. Commissioner Lee responded that
we provide a service to the region. Commissioner Herman argued that the income
from ferry service does not come to the Port. Commissioner Lee countered that we
charge them rent. Mr. Bouey interjected that the chart depicts the increase in the
number of ferry service passengers, not income. Mr. Bouey clarified that the Port is
supports and encourages ferry service and encourages that type of mode of
transportation. It's a business we run on a break-even basis and we're in the process
of designing a whole new facility to accommodate even more traffic. If anything
happens to Treasure Island, the Port of San Francisco would already have its part in
place so that the City can benefit from the transition of that property to the City and
County of San Francisco. Commissioner Lee added that one of the Port's mission is .
to provide waterfront services to the people using the Port. Commissioner Herman
again raised his concern about cargo and stated that the issue on ferry service is
irrelevant. Commissioner Lee disagreed with Commissioner Herman's assertion that
ferry service is irrelevant. Commissioner Lee pointed out that the Port supports aU
maritime.
Commissioner Lee stated that the fishing industry is booming with the newly
renovated Pier 45 facility and cruise business is up, with approximately 50 cruise ship
calls at the Port of San Francisco. In 1994, we cut staff and trimmed our expenses. -
The total revenue divided by Port staff is $160,000 per person, reflective of a more
efficient department. Commissioner Herman argued to the contrary. Commissioner
Lee then talked about the Port's debt coverage ratio. Commissioner Lee summarized
that it was difficult to juggle all the different demands. He added that the Port is very
healthy, it's on the right track. A lot of people worked hard for many years on the
Waterfront Land Use Plan. He then quoted a paragraph on the Plan, "In addition,
marketing will be directed to what smaller shipping line would serve the regional
market and do not necessary carry ships to rail intermodal cargo." The Port is
pursuing niche cargo.
Commissioner Lee concluded that he grew up in a maritime family. He supports
maritime, especially cargo. He also supports a sensible development along the
waterfront, guided by a recommendation by the Waterfront Plan Advisory Board.
Before a decision is made, he suggested consulting the Waterfront Plan to see what
the people and the Advisory Board recommend. Commissioner Lee commended Jill
Simpson for all her efforts in bringing Serpac to the Port of San Francisco.
Commissioner Herman reiterated his desire to reinstate the maritime department, hire
a skilled, experienced, competent maritime director and hire staff as appropriate. The
Port has combined real estate and maritime; while they are not mumally exclusive,
they are not compatible.
M100896.igq -21-
Executive Director Bouey stated that he and Commissioner Herman had a number of
conversations in the last few weeks. They both agree on the goal but differ on the
process. He has been committed to cargo since his arrival at the Port. The Port at
that time was on the brink of bankruptcy and a number of actions had to be taken to
turn it around. In answer to Commissioner Herman's question, the Port used to have
a maritime manager and three salesmen for cargo. The Port now has one and a half
and have defmed the target niarket. There have been a great number of changes since
1980. In 1984, the Shipping Act passed which allowed among other things, for
consortiums to form. Where ports normally have 15 customers, they might only have
three or four now because three or four lines have formed a consortium. As a result
of that, in the past, when a shipper miss putting cargo on a ship, he may have to wait
a week to catch the next ship. But with a consortium, you might miss one on Monday
but you can get another member of the consortium on Tuesday or Wednesday and
ship your cargo here. The outfall is that the industry became more effective and there
has been a decline in the number of shipping lines calling on the West Coast. In fact,
since 1988 to 1995, there are 25 fewer shipping lines calling on the West Coast.
In answer Commissioner Herman's question on why real estate and maritime are in
the same department, Mr. Bouey indicated that there was conflict between them when
separate and, as a result, the Port lost a number of prospects. By merging and having
them under one person, we were able to get rid of that conflict and were able to
increase revenue; revenue that we now plow back into our infrastrucmre and to
subsidize maritime. The Port is subsidizing cargo in the amount of $750,000, ship
repair ($500,000) as well as cruise ships and the fishing industry. As Commissioner
Herman knows, he is supportive of hiring a maritime manager. At the same time, he
echoed Commissioner Herman's sentiments that Jill Simpson and Peter Dailey have
done a terrific job. When he started at the Port in 1994, the Port has already lost
Cosco and Evergreen, in his first week here, advised that they were not going to
renew their contract.
He responded to Conmiissioner Herman's comment on CEO's touting the Port's
shortcomings. He pointed out that we do not touting our shortcomings. However,
when people ask why are we not like Oakland, we explain the obstacles that we face.
About ten months ago, the Port changed cargo strategy. Jill Simpson has just brought
the first dividend of that strategy through Serpac. Staff is again working on a few
other shipping lines and he hopes to report that we will have more in the near future.
We try to accentuate the positive. We have never said we have bad maritime
facilities, in fact, we advertise the opposite. The Port is selling a first class operation
in conjunction with SSA as evidenced by last weekend's Serpac mmaround. We
refocused our targets, instead of going after transpacific intermodal shippers, we have
now pursue lines that we can better serve, which will ironically make more money for
the Port and create more jobs.
He also addressed Commissioner Herman's comment that the commitment to the
tunnel was withdrawn. He stressed that was absolutely, unequivocally wrong. Port
staff has made several commitments to Evergreen to create the capability for double
stacked the tunnels. When Evergreen indicated that they would not be renewing the
M 100896. igq -22-
contract, he probed as to why, they indicated the rail service took so long to move
cargo to the other side; and most of the cargo is ahready located on the other side of
the Bay. They did mention the failed commitment. In an effort to try to keep them,
the Port moved ahead and designed the mnnel project. He spent over $700,000 at a
time when the Port was on the brink of bankruptcy to demonstrate to Evergreen the
Port's commitment to them that we could deliver. They said, "Don't build it for us."
When they served us notice that they would be leaving San Francisco, then and only
then did he not build the mnnel project. The reason the mnnel project was not built
was that it did not solve the fundamental problem of the length of time it takes our
cargo to get to the other side of the bay. Staff has also offered trucking equalization
rates. Staff has offered shippers subsidies to equalize trucking costs between San
Francisco and Oakland.
In response to Commissioner Herman's comment on the cargo market ten years ago,
he stated that despite the downtrend of cargo over the last five or six years, even ten
years ago, we only held two percent of the West Coast's market share. Today, we
hold about one percent. We hope to build it back up but we weren't a power ten
years ago. What we've tried to do with the refocused marketing strategy is to bring
more business to the Port of San Francisco and provide a basis of creating not only
jobs in the longshore and those industries directly associated with cargo but all
support businesses as well.
In response to Commissioner Herman's comment on no effort being made to hold
discussions with Union Pacific, staff, the day after the merger, sent a letter and
followed up with phone conversations asking for those meetings he speaks of. Staff
would like to improve rail service at the Port. Staff is not sitting around waiting for
things to happen. Staff is out there trying. As Commissioner Lee indicated, all of
our maritime businesses are up except cargo and staff is working as hard as it can.
The Land Use Plan reserves 66 and two thirds for maritime. Staff will meet that
commitment. With regard to Jane Morrison's comment on open space, staff is
already in a dialog with BCDC and Save the Bay to develop a public access plan, and
created a technical advisory committee to develop a design guideline. He concluded
that if the Port wants to play in the big leagues in the cargo game it takes a lot of
money. As one of the speakers mentioned, Long Beach and L.A. are spending
billions of dollars for the Alameda corridor to make freight movements easier in
Southern California. Oakland, even though its cargo is growing, it's West Coast
market share has gone down each of the last four years. While those ports are
investing in this market billions of dollars, this Port's annual budget is only $33
million. It is tough to compete which is yet again another reason for our refocused
maritime strategy.
He stated that Christopher Martin's commients about Home Depot and a shopping
center at Pier 45 were wrong. A consultant performing a study on Pier 45, analyze
different alternatives. One of the alternatives included 40,000 square feet of retail
• space as part of a larger fishing oriented project. Port staff rejected that alternative.
It was never our intent to open a shopping mall and it is disingenuous for Mr. Martin
to raise it as an issue. Port staff over the last two and a half years, have done a
M100896.igq -23-
wonderful job, they pitched in under the most of difficult circumstances.
Commissioner Herman stated that it's the first time he's heard that Mr. Bouey
canceled the maritime department because there was in-house fighting. Because
people could not agree, the two departments were collapsed into one another, neither
of which was compatible. Mr. Bouey replied that Commissioner Herman was at the
Commission when the reorganization was done. Conmiissioner Herman believed that
he was not on the Commission at the time.
Commissioner Herman stated that the niche cargo that exists in every port has always
been a fact of life. The fact of the matter is the port never went after it. Mr. Bouey
replied that the Port's refocused strategy is now to go after niche cargo and
intermodal container cargo.
Commissioner Herman reiterated his motion to reinstate the maritime department with
a maritime director. If there is no maritime department that is a declaration that we
are giving lip service to cargo.
Commissioner Lee made a suggestion that a committee be formed to work with staff
and the Executive Director and report back to the Conmiission with a plan. A
discussion between the two Commissioners ensued. Commissioner Hardeman
interjected and reiterated Commissioner Lee's recommendation of having two
Commissioners do research on the feasibility of Commissioner Herman's desire to
have a maritime director. With Commissioner Herman's approval. Commissioner
Hardeman appointed Commissioner McCarthy and himself to work with staff to
work out a resolution to be presented at the next Conmiission meeting.

Jacob Shin from Asian, Inc. read a letter from Aileen Hernandez which states "The
Coalition for Economic Equity hereby requests the Port Commission to schedule a fall
discussion of its leasing policy and its application to the utilization of MAVBEs as soon as
possible. Members of the Coalition would like to be present for that discussion to indicate
our concerns about the failure of the Port staff to implement a program that would result
in the participation of MAVBEs in Port leases and in renovation work related to existing
leaseholds. Please notify us when the meeting is scheduled."
Mr. Bouey replied that according to the City Attorney Section 12D does not apply to
leases but he agreed to meet with representatives of the coalition to listen and address their
concerns.
Commissioner McCarthy commented that she, too, has questions regarding the Grand
Jury Report. She requested the Executive Director to report back after his meeting with
the Coalition and she'll follow up with her concerns at that time.
Mr. Romulus Asenlod, Business Director of Asian Inc. spoke on behalf of Harold Yee,
President of Asian, Inc. He read a letter from Mr. Yee concerning the Port of San
Francisco Waterfront Land Use Plan and Affirmative Action Policies which states, "We
are all aware of the differences in opinion between the Grand Jury (in its findings
regarding the Port of San Francisco's performance in (i) working with the Human Rights
Conmiission and (ii) its contracting practices with respect to the City's Affirmative Action
Requirements) and the statement issued by the former Human Rights Director, Mr. Ed
Lee, in support of the Port in his response to the Grand Jury's findings.
These conflicting verbal statements are non-constructive and will not lead to a
comprehensive solution of providing access for MBEs to the many businesses (i.e.
leasing) and public contract oppominities that the Port has to offer.
What is needed in order to move forward is quantitative data on the Port's performance in
specific busmess industries. This would allow the Port to make management decisions on
exactly how it intends to insure inclusion of MBEs in the respective bidding processes,
and provide the Commission with concrete evidence of progress and monitoring.
In order to provide a tracking system through which Port management would be in a
better position to document the need for better minority participation and narrowly tailor
efforts in providing better access for MBEs to participate in the Port's economy.
M100896.igq -25-
More importantly, in accordance to the 12D Ordinance, the Port of San Francisco must
take responsibility for attainment of goals, with HRC monitoring and assisting for the
City."
Commissioner Lee stated that he belongs to Asian Architect and Engineers, a sister group
of Asian, Inc, He stated that the Port actually made a conscious decision earlier last year.
The Commission approved a resolution for MBEAVBEs participation in leasing in Port
property. At the time, Mr. Bouey was going to implement it but the Board of Supervisors
halted the process in implementing this plan because a study has not been done. The Port
identified and approved a firm to perform the study and went to Civil Service for
processing and it was at that point, the Board of Supervisors stepped in and requested
HRC to perform a City wide project and the Port agreed to participate financially. HRC,
thus far, has not implemented it.
Commissioner McCarthy suggested looking at both areas, leases as well as construction.
Commissioner reiterated that the Port is in compliance with Sections 12C and 12D.
Jane Morrison commented that the Waterfront Plan Advisory Board unanimously agreed
that an affirmative action is implemented and that the Port includes and reaches out to the
City's diverse minority groups. Mr. Bouey replied that the Port's overall goals exceed all
the City goals.

The Mid-Embarcadero Roadway Project would realign and upgrade the surface roadway along
The Embarcadero between Folsom Street and Broadway. The roadway would accommodate
an exclusive transit right-of-way and bicycle lanes in each direction, as well as pedestrian
promenades, sidewalks and a large central plaza located between the north and south bound
roadway lanes directly in front of the Ferry Building. In addition, an underground parking
garage of up to 350 spaces is proposed to replace parking that would be lost as a result of the
project.

Review of Urban Design, Mid-Embarcadero Roadway Project
Agenda Item 3B
October 22, 1996
Page Two
On October 8, 1996 the Port Commission adopted Resolution No. 96-103 approving the
alignment of the Mid-Embarcadero Roadway Project. The resolution also authorized Port staff
to work with the Waterfront Transportation Projects Office to develop urban design criteria for
the project, as well as to negotiate an agreement regarding the design, engineering and
construction review and approval process for the projects.
An urban design concept for the Mid-Embarcadero Roadway Project has been prepared under
the direction of the Waterfront Transportation Projects Office by a consultant team led by
ROMA Design Group. A copy of a report titled "Mid-Embarcadero Roadway and Open Space
Design Concept, August, 1996" was distributed to the Port Commission along with the
EIS/EIR documents for this project prior to the September 24, 1996 Port Commission meeting.
The purpose of today's presentation is to allow the Commission the opportunity to view the
model that has been prepared for the project, as well as to ask questions and receive
information from the Waterfront Transportation Projects Office staff, the design consultant and
Port staff. As provided for in Port Commission Resolution No. 96-103, the Port staff will work
with the Waterfront Transportation Projects Office in developing urban design principles and
specifications for the project, which will be brought back to the Port Commission for its formal
review and approval.
No action is required on this item at this time.

TERMINAL AGREEMENT
DIRECTOR'S RECOMMENDATION: APPROVE THE 5-YEAR MARINE
TERMINAL AGREEMENT WITH MADRIGAL-WAN HAI LINES AT PIER 94/96
AND AUTHORIZE THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR TO SEEK APPROVAL BY THE
SAN FRANCISCO BOARD OF SUPERVISORS TO AMEND THE AGREEMENT TO
INCLUDE A MUTUAL INDEMNITY CLAUSE.
The Port has concluded negotiations for a Five-year Marine Terminal Agreement with
Madrigal-Wan Hai Lines for use of Pier 94/96. Madrigal-Wan Hai Lines offers service to
and from the Far East with calls in Busan, Manila, Hong Kong, Xiamen. Their vessels
are expected to make bi-weekly calls. Their first vessel call is expected on November 8,
1996.
Material provisions of the agreement include the following: (i) five year term,
commencing on November 1, 1996, with the ability of either party to terminate as of each
June 30th; (ii) reduced wharfage and dockage rates based on the total annual volume; (iii)
nomination of Pier 94/96 as their regular published Bay Area port of call.
If SSA ceases operations at Pier 94/96, the Agreement also allows termination by either
Port or Carrier if they are unable to reach agreement with a new management contractor.

The Agreement contains an indemnity whereby Madrigal- Wan Hai agrees to indemnify
Port and City for claims resulting from its acts or omissions at the facility. The Ron's
standard exculpation clause, under which the Carrier waives all claims against Ron and
City including claims due to Port on City's negligence, has been deleted from this
Agreement pursuant to Madrigal-Wan Hai's request. In addition, Madrigal-Wan Hai has
requested an indemnity from Port and City against claims caused by Port or City's
negligence. The City's charter requires any indemnities by the City or Port to be
approved by the Board of Supervisors. The Agreement provides that upon approval by
the Board, parties will sign an amendment to the Agreement to include the Port's and
City's indemnity. If the Board disapproves the indemnity, Madrigal-Wan Hai may
terminate the Agreement upon 30-day s' prior written notice.
Estimated annual revenue for the agreements is approximately S250,000 from wharfage,
dockage, and crane rental. A copy of the agreement is attached hei.^to.

SUBJECT: Fisherman's Wharf Lighting presentation and approval to advertise for
Phase I construction
DIRECTOR'S RECOMMENDATION: AUTHORIZE STAFF TO ADVERTISE FOR
BIDS FOR CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT NO. 2631, "FISHERMAN'S WHARF
LIGHTING IMPROVEMENTS, PHASE I." AN INFORMATIONAL PRESENTATION
WILL BE MADE TO THE COMMISSION.
The Commission approved the award of a professional services contract to F.W.
Associates, Inc. for the design of the Fisherman's Wharf Lighting Improvements at the
regular meeting of March 26, 1996. The design contract is divided into three parts as
follows:
Part 1 : The consultant shall develop a cost effective conceptual lighting design proposal
for the Fisherman's Wharf area including the inner and outer lagoon, the Embarcadero
from Powell to Pier 45, Jefferson Street from Jones to Hyde, and the Ferry Arch at Pier
43. In developing this conceptual design, the consultant shall make presentations to the
Fisherman's Wharf representatives and the Port Commission to obtain broad base input
and approval.
2aiL2i The consultant shall prepare and furnish the Port with the necessary plans,
technical specifications and a cost estimate for lighting at the inner and outer lagoons and
Pier 45 Sheds 'A' and 'B.' At this time, there is only sufficient funding for the
construction of these improvements. The consultant shall also prepare plans,

Contract 2632, "Pier 68 Shipyard Cranes Improvements Rebid,"
authorization to award
DIRECTOR'S RECOMMENDATION: AWARD CONTRACT TO THE LOWEST
RESPONSIVE BIDDER, SHEEDY DRAYAGE COMPANY, IN THE AMOUNT OF
$1,717,505.00, AUTHORIZE THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR TO APPROVE UP TO
ANOTHER 10% FOR CONTINGENCIES, AND AUTHORIZE THE EXECUTIVE
DIRECTOR TO ACCEPT THE WORK UPON COMPLETION.
Resolution No. 96-86, approved by the Port Commission on August 27, 1996, authorized
staff to re-advertise for bids for improvements to Cranes No. 33 and No. 34 at Pier 68.
Cranes No. 33 and No. 34 serve drydock No. 2 which is the drydock on which most ship
repair work is conducted. The bid documents were modified to allow the Port to select
and award any combination of bid items it deemed appropriate. On October 4, 1996, two
bids were received. Because the total price of all forty-two bid items for both bids
received exceeded the available funding, staff determined the priority items to award.
Staff recommends that all items be awarded with the exception of Bid Items Nos. 25 and
26. Based on the items to be awarded, Sheedy Drayage Company submitted the lowest
responsive bid of $1,717,505.00. The bid summary is attached.
The items to be excluded are for Crane No. 34 and are Bid Items No. 25 "Clean exterior"
and No. 26 "Prime and coat exterior." With Crane No. 34 scheduled for work in January
during the rainy season, it is doubtful that there will be proper weather conditions for the
contractor to perform Bid Item No. 26 which is to prime and coat the repaired, replaced
and cleaned areas before the contract completion date of March, 1997. Similarly, Bid
Item No. 25 which requires cleaning the rusted exterior surface areas is only necessary if
done in conjunction with and prior to Bid Item No. 26. The tenant has also assigned a
low priority to these two items.

This contract is being financed by a grant of $1,500,000 from the United States
Department of Commerce, Economic Development Administration, portions of the
remaining funds of $250,000 from the California Trade and Commerce Agency, and
$250,000 in Port funds.
Sheedy Dray age Company exceeded the recommended 6% MBE and 2% WBE
subcontracting goals for this contract.
Staff recommends the Commission award the contract to Sheedy Drayage Company as
specified, authorize the Executive Director to approve up to another 10% for
contingencies, and authorize the Executive Director to accept the work upon completion.

SUBJECT: Approval of Concepmal Design of Pier 52 Public Boat Ramp, Bait Shop
and Cafe and endorsement to proceed with preparation of construction
documents
DIRECTOR'S RECOMMENDATION: APPROVE CONCEPTUAL DESIGN
Since the informational briefmg on the project before the Commission on August 13,
1996, the design team, ARCUS Architecture and Planning, has refined the project design
in response to comments by the Commission and the public. The final conceptual design
has been reviewed and recommended for approval by the Port's Design Advisors. Pon
staff has held two informational briefings on the project for the general public on October
1st. The final conceptual design for the project includes the following key project
elements:
• A double boat ramp and maneuvering area, designed to meet State of California,
Boating and Waterways Design standards.
• Accessible gangway with guest dock to tie up boats and launch kayaks.
• A small support strucmre, adjacent to the boating facilities that will provide for a
small cafe and a bait and tackle sales area, public restrooms and indoor/outdoor eating
areas.

• Public access and landscape improvements throughout the site.
• A parking lot on the west side of Terry A. Francois Blvd. for 20 vehicle/trailer
parking spaces.
Staff has reviewed the additional features that were desired through the community
planning process and analyzed the costs of providing these in light of available funds.
Based on the cost estimates at this stage of conceptual design, the above improvements can
be funded within the project budget. Other features identified in the community planning
process may be incorporated in the project at a later date, based on available funds. A
major variable to the construction cost at this time is the utility relocation cost. Staff is
currently investigating several avenues to decrease the cost of this work.
Cost Breakdown:
Double boat ramp with boarding float 5375,000
Accessible gangway 160,000
Bait & Tackle, cafe and restrooms 423,000
New shoreline protection & removal of old dock & derelict boat ramp 168,000
Public access and landscape improvements 255,000
Parking lot for 20 vehicle/trailer parking spaces* 212,000
Tenant improvements 30,000
Architectural, engineering and geotechnical consulting fees URDDD
TOTAL $1,893,000
*Utility relocation costs to be confirmed
Funding Sources:
Port of San Francisco Capital Plan $1,400,000
California Boating & Waterways grant to repair original boat ramp 295.000
Pending Grant from California Boating & Waterways for parking lot 158.000
TOTAL $1,893,000
Staff seeks the Commission's approval of the conceptual design and endorsement for
proceeding with the preparation of construction documents. Staff anticipates returning to
the Commission in November, to seek authorization to advertise for construction bids and
in a separate action, to seek authorization to advertise for request for proposals for an
operator of the facility. The Planning & Development Division is coordinating these
efforts closely with the Facilities & Operations and Tenant & Maritime Divisions to meet a
target opening date of mid-summer 1997.

A portion of the lands comprising of Francisco Bay Office Park (SWL 315, 316 ind 317)
is leased by Clip Clop m Partners, Ltd. ("Clip Clop"") from the Port pursuant tc "iie terms
and provisions of a Lease Agreement dated June 28, 1974, originally entered inic berween
the Port and Francisco Bay Office Park, a limited pannership. The lease was ameixied by
the terms and provisions of a First Amendment to Lease dated December 8. 19"6.
between the Port and Francisco Bay Office Park, and by the terms and provisicns :: a
Second Amendment to Lease dated June 21, 1995, between the Port and HHC
Investments, Ltd. (collectively, the "'Master Lease").
Houston's Restaurants, Inc. (''Houston's") plans to enter into a lease with Clip C'cp III
Partners, Ltd. ("Clip Clop") to demolish the existing restaurant located at Franc :ic: Bay
Office Park, and to construct a new restaurant. Houston's would like to have an
Attornment and Nondismrbance Agreement ("Agreement") with the Port so thai ji 'jie
event that the Master Lease terminates early, Houston's will still be able to mainiiin its
lease.
Houston's proposes a twenty-year lease beginning no later than June 1, 1997. wiii :\vo
ten-year options to extend. Material provisions of the Agreement include the follouing:

• Houston's will recognize the Port as its Landlord under the terms of the lease
between Houston's and Clip Clop if the Master Lease to Clip Clop ends before its
scheduled termination in 2040;
• Should the Port become the Landlord of Houston's, the Landlord shall not
interfere or otherwise interrupt Tenant in its use and quiet enjoyment of the
Premises pursuant to the lease as long as Tenant is current in the payment of all
rentals and charges required under the lease and is not otherwise in default;
• The Port shall not be liable for (i) any security or cleaning deposits paid to Clip
Clop under the lease, (ii) any rent or additional rent that may have been paid in
advance to Clip Clop for a period in excess of one (1) month, or (iii) any act or
omission of any prior landlord.
A copy of the proposed Agreement is attached hereto and is on file with the Port
Commission Secretary. Port staff believes that approval of this Agreement is necessary
for Houston's to enter into the lease with Clip Clop. The Port has entered into similar
agreements for the benefit of tenants of Francisco Bay Office Park, most recently with
Levi Strauss and Catholic Healthcare West.
The Lease does not require Port Commission consent for subleasing. However, the Lea.se
does require Port Commission consent for demolition of the existing improvements. Port
staff anticipates bringing a separate item to the Commission in the near future, requesting
the Commission's consent for the demolition.

breakwater grant. It's a $15 million project; the Port has approximately $13
million in grant money. The design will be completed by the end of December.
Construction will commence early spring. The estimated project completion date
is late 1998 or early 1999. He commended Veronica Sanchez for her efforts in
obtaining the grant money.
6) The Fish Processmg center at Pier 45 has been selected by the Waterfront Center
jury to receive the 1996 Honor Award. The award will be presented on
November 15 in Boston. He commended Port staff and the consultants for all
their efforts.
7) Carolyn Macmillan gave a brief presentation on the Port's web site. She stated
that the web site is a combined effort of the Marketing, MIS and the Planning
departments. This is the first phase and it can be updated anytime as necessary.
The following six components were incorporated into the web site - General
Overview, Port Commission, the Maritime Activities, Visitor Information,
Leasmg and the Waterfront Plan. There's also a "What's New"section which
describes upcoming events at the Port. The General Overview gives a
description of the Port as to its history, mission statement, the structure and
geography of the Port. The Port Commission section gives the bios of the
MI02296.igq -1-
Commissioners and the most recent agenda. The Visitor Information includes a
section on Alcatraz, Herb Caen Way, parks, Pier 39, restaurants, the Jeremiah
O'Brien, transportation and The Pampanito. The Leasing section provides
available property at the Port, film locations available and special event sites.
The Waterfront Plan provides the goals, the urban design guidelines, public
access and enumerates the different special areas such as Fisherman's Wharf,
northeast waterfront, the Ferry Building, South Beach, China Basin, Southern
Waterfront and the waterfront planning process. The cargo services of the
maritime section provides a description of our facilities and the services available
at the Port. The web site's address is WWW.SFP0RT.COM. She thanked
Vincent Topaldo, a pro-bono consultant to the Port, for his help in putting the
web site together.
Roadway Project (Information Only).
Mr. Bouey stated that the mid-Embarcadero Roadway Project would realign and
upgrade the surface roadway along the Embarcadero between Folsom Street and
Broadway. On October 8, 1996 the Port Commission adopted Resolution No. 96-103
approving the realignment of the mid-Embarcadero Roadway Project. The resolution
also authorized Port staff to work with the Waterfront Transportation Projects office
to develop urban design criteria for the project, as well as to negotiate an agreement
regarding the design, engineering and construction and the approval process for the
projects. The purpose of today's presentation is to allow the Commission the
opportunity to view the model that has been prepared for the project, as well as to ask
questions and receive information from staff. Port staff will work with the
Waterfront Transportation Projects Office in developing urban design principles and
specifications for the project. A handout was provided to the Commission which
contains the draft design parameters. Over the next couple of weeks, staff will
contact the Commissioners individually for their comments. As well, staff will hold a
public workshop to which Commissioners will be invited to gamer more public input
before this item is brought back to the Commission for its formal review and
approval.
Dan Hodapp, with the Planning & Development Division, stated that at the last
meeting, the Commission selected a roadway alternative for the mid-Embarcadero
project and approved findings for the final EIR of this project. He enumerated the
following design parameters which outline the basic design concepts: (1) They are to
continue the general urban design vocabulary expressed by the Embarcadero Roadway
in the north and south which includes palm trees, lighting and art ribbon. The art
ribbon will be flush with the pavement. (2) The central plaza would be
predominantly a hard scape space with bold granite paving. (3) A reconstructed
transition zone between the plaza area and the central park area should be designed as
a tiered feature to create greater accessibility. (4) The southern portion of Block 202
should be the site of underground parking garage.
Per Commissioner Cook's request, the Commission examined the model prior to further
M102296.igq -2-
presentation.
Rebecca Kohlstrand, Project Manager for the Waterfront Transportation Project, gave the
Commission an update of the process since it was brought to the Commission two weeks
ago. The Recreation & Park Commission and the Parking & Traffic Commission have
voted to endorse the DPT Variant. On Thursday, this item will be brought to the Housing
and Land Use Committee of the Board of Supervisors for their endorsement and then onto
the full board which will conclude the City decision making process for the roadway
project. They are going forward with the split roadway alternative endorsed by this
Commission and the Board of Supervisors. They would like to get the Commission's
comments on the urban design concepts assuming that they are not going further into the
park which is not endorsed or adopted by the Recreation and Parks Commission and also
with the understanding that the underground parking garage was endorsed as part of the
roadway concept. They are trying to get a sense of the urban design elements and how it
will look. At this point, they are fairly certain that the roadway project will move ahead
and within the next few weeks, approval from the Board of Supervisors will be sought and
move ahead on the design and implementation of the project. She encouraged the
Commission to give specific feedback on the urban design proposal as well as the concept
so they can bring those concepts to the Board of Supervisors and other agencies for their
review and approval.
Per Al Baccari's inquiry. Commissioner Herman inquired about the maintenance of the
area. Mr. Bouey responded that under the MOU signed between the City and the Port
Commission, the Department of Public Works will be responsible for the maintenance of
the mid-Embarcadero roadway project. Ms. Kohlstrand concurred with Mr. Bouey and
added that it is their intent to ensure that it gets proper maintenance.
Mr. Boris Dramov, consultant for the project, showed a slide presentation. He stated that
the Loma Prieta earthquake gave us a second chance to look at connections to reinstate the
linkage between Market Street, the waterfront and the Ferry Building and to create the
continuity on the Embarcadero. Not only did the freeway obstruct the linkage at the
Market Street but it also interfered with the continuous corridor along the waterfront. The
City found that there were constraints about the idea of a fully depressed underground
roadway and reconsidered all of the ramps that were related to the terminal separator. Not
only could connections be made but the whole transbay terminal area was part of the idea
of bringing the waterfront and the City closer together. After a period of time, they
looked at a surface alternative. The Board of Supervisors came up with the alternative to
put the roadway in the middle.
He then talked about the character of the split roadway alternative and what the basic
value choice of where to put the additional space. The character that was most desirable
and what the Board stated as a preference was to reinstate the crossroads of the
Embarcadero and Market Street. The meeting point of pedestrians coming across the area
and trolley cars or vehicles crossing is the character that was most looked at as
appropriate for the center of the area. They also looked at the number of passengers that
crossed the roadway. They also looked at the increase in ferry service and the
enhancement of the ferry terminal. One of the major criteria is tiie meeting of pedestrians
M102296.igq
that go back and forth through the area with the transit surface and the F-Line, which will
come through the area. The second criteria that was discussed is the extent and the kind of
civic events that occur on the waterfront. Major gatherings of people on the waterfront
area is one of the considerations of how the area should be used in the future. The
Farmer's Market has been a very important addition in terms of bringing people to the
waterfront. New ideas of how the market could become a more permanent establishment
on the waterfront is being discussed. During the construction period, there's discussion of
relocating the market to the ferry terminal plaza. There's also a desire from the market to
continue in a more significant role in the Ferry Building area. They are creating a linkage
through the central area of the project that has begun to the north and the south. A very
important consideration is how the linkage is made. The completion of the roadway will
create a mix mode facility. They need to look at the goal of bringing the waterfront and
the City closer together. The development of the ferry terminal is a very important step in
reinstating the importance of this area to the community as a whole. The revitalization of
the Ferry Building is another important step in bringing the two sides together. There are
also a number of improvements to the existing recreational open space at Justin Herman
Plaza and the two and half acres that were added to the inventory from the previous
Washington, Clay ramps and transferred from CalTrans to the City of San Francisco. The
overall program includes a whole number of improvements to create the open space on the
City side to be attractive. These actions and improvements of the central section will
create the kind of connection to the waterfront. Most specifically, one of the first things
they have to deal with is the edge which was originally designed to buffer and divide the
City from the freeway. They feel that it is critical that the wave wall be reinstated to
" bring the two sides together. One way to do that is to take the vocabulary of the roadway
into shifted inland so it can be defmed the new central space and at the same time
announce the important meeting point of Market Street and Embarcadero. They are also
looking at space that allows for major gatherings and pedestrian crossings while at the
same time feels comfortable and have a human scale on those days when it isn't full of
people and also the space itself create a shape which is more appropriate for the central
location. They added the high branching trees to help redefine the space and give a human
scale to the area. They have looked at paving, a very strong color that characterizes the
Justin Herman Plaza area. They have a established vocabulary that reflects the working
character of the waterfront and the robust nature of the San Francisco edge to the bay.
They have proposed the use of bollards to protect the pedestrians from traffic. Some
other aspects that could happen within the central space - the news kiosks, coffee carts,
flower vendors. There is an extensive program of lighting the face of the entire Ferry
Building and the surrounding areas and the opportunity for special events lighting. The
implementation and ongoing maintenance and management of this area is critical and a
part of the consideration of the overall project.
Commissioner Cook inquired if there will be a defined bicycle path along the roadway.
Ms. Kohlstrand replied to the affirmative and added that it would be similar to what's
being done at the north and south Embarcadero where we have 15 feet outside lanes, 11
feet for movement of traffic and 4 feet for the bicycles. However, they are considering a
slight modification in the mid-section. The general layout of the mid-section will be
different in that the third lane will be used for travel during the peak period but on off-
peak period, it will be used as parking. When it is being used as parking it will function
M 102296. igq -4-
as an 8 feet parking lane and 7 feet bicycle lane. They are also considering the concern
expressed by the bicycle community that the 4 feet lane is not wide enough. They are
working with the Department of Parking and Traffic to consider expanding to a 5 feet lane
which would be carried through the mid-Embarcadero. They are trying to make
additional provisions on the roadway to accommodate bicyclists.
Ernestine Weiss, tenant of Golden Gateway Center, addressed the Commission regarding
the garage. She stated that the garage is at the wrong location and building it would be
too expensive. It should be accessible on the Embarcadero instead of congesting all the
streets around it. She opposed cutting up the park to make the roadway wider. She stated
that making room for the F-line going to Chinatown is not necessary because a dry run
with a mobilized cable car can be done. Cutting up Davis Street to make the roadway
wider is also unnecessary. She opposes any development on, under or in the park. They
love the idea of the plaza and the trees but they object to the black stripes on the
pavement. She suggested having the City & County San Francisco seal or a maritime
symbol in place of the black stripes.
Lee Gotshall Maxon, attorney representing the owners of One Maritime Plaza, and also
working with the owners of the Golden Gateway complex, the Embarcadero Center, One
Market Plaza and Hyatt Hotels stated that the owners have all agreed that : (1) the Muni
layover should be moved; if it cannot be moved, the owners feel that it should be treated
architecturally; (2) the paired curve roadway is a better alternative; however, given the
Board of Supervisors and the Port Commission's endorsement of the split roadway
alternative, the owners felt that this plan should go forward as a treatment for the urban
design concept; (3) if there's going to be a use for Blocks 202 and 203, it should be low
density, high quality development, no more than 40 ft. height. The owners of the Hyatt
Hotels, Embarcadero Center, One Market Plaza, Golden Gateway, One Maritime Plaza all
endorse this plan.
Mario Ciampi, Architect, showed his proposal that is opposite of the scheme that the City
is considering. It is a unified plaza with a paired freeway going underneath an elevated
plaza. It is a split level development because Market Street is higher than the Ferry
Building and to give emphasis to a grand fountain. In domg this, the cut of the freeway
that goes in front of the Ferry Building is lessen and at the same time broadening the
approach with gardens on either side. One of the most beautiful plaza in the world can be
borne here.
Vernon De Mars, Architect & Planner, stated that he has been working on this plan for a
long time. He gave a brief presentation and invited the Commission to take a look at their
proposal/drawing. He concluded that it would be a better plan if the roadway is moved a
little further west.
Carl Maletic, Architect, complimented Boris Dramov's group and also gave a brief
presentation of their proposal. He provided the Commission and the Executive Director a
copy of their booklet outlining their proposal.
Mr. Bouey reiterated that this item is for information only. Mr. Hodapp will be in contact
M102296.igq
with the Commissioners to solicit their comments and provide further briefings. Staff
intends to provide a public workshop and this item will be brought back to the
Commission for action in November or December.
Commissioner McCarthy inquired about the process of approval. She wondered if the
Commission is approving exactly what is laid out today, e.g. the type of tree, or is it a
general approach. Ms. Kohlstrand replied that it would be approving the general
approach towards the design. The level of detail they are looking at is, for example,
supporting a major central plaza with a high quality paving materials in a bold pattern
with deciduous trees so it does not get down to the specificity but the approach they
recommend. Commissioner McCarthy stated that it is important to know the detail of
specificity when it comes down to voting on this item. Rebecca Kohlstrand replied that
what they are trying to get in the next month or two is an endorsement from the City that
this is the direction they want to move in so they can proceed with the more specific
design so they can continue to put together a certain approach. The roadway project will
start final design in January and conclude mid- 1997. If we don't come to closure on the
design aspects, design treatment of the roadway, we may be faced with the situation that
we are left with those amenities. They would like to include the central plaza area, the
promenade area and the transition zone as part of the transportation project.
Mr. Hodapp explained that the design parameters are very general in nature but also
express certain concepts such as the bold stripes in the paving pattern. Although this may
not be the same paving pattern specifically, they also express a strong edge from the far
side of the plaza that divides the City side from the waterside. Those are the types of
design parameters with the approval of the details at a later time.
Mr. Dramov stated that this project has been ongoing for seven years; five years of initial
debate of what should happen in the central area and an additional year and a half of
continued discussion of what further should happen. There had been numerous public
hearings, public workshops, individual sessions, as well as small and large focus groups.
By June 1997, the construction documents have to be completed. It is important at this
point to have an agreement on the scope of the project.
4. LEGISLATIVE
5. TENANT & MARITIME SERVICES
A. Approval of Marine Terminal Agreement for Madrigal-Wan Hai Lines for use of Pier
94/96. (Resolution No. 96-111)
Mr. Bouey announced that the Port has concluded negotiations for a Five-year Marine
Terminal Agreement with Madrigal-Wan Hai Lines for use of Pier 94/96. Madrigal-
Wan Hai Lines offers service to and from the Far East with calls in Busan, Manila,
Hong Kong, Xiamen. Their vessels are expected to make bi-weekly calls. In
yesterday's conference, the agent for Madrigal- Wan Hai indicated that they are going
to acquire two more ships and expect very shortly to call once-a-week. Madrigal-
Wan Hai is a growing shipping line and it's a shipping line that fits well with our
M 102296. igq -6-
I
marketing strategy as our facility can handle their containers and their breakbulk.
The terms of the contract are the same as Serpac with one exception - the Port's
Standard Exculpation clause has been deleted. Madrigal-Wan Hai has also requested
an indemnity from the Port and City caused by the City or the Port's negligence.
Since only the Board of Supervisors can provide that authority, it is written in the
contract as such that the current language remains in place; however, Port staff have
agreed to immediately ask the Board for a waiver of our standard clause and for the
insertion of the clause that Madrigal- Wan Hai has requested. If the board should
disapprove that indemnity, Madrigal-Wan Hai has 30 days to cancel the agreement. It
is the Director's expectation, however, that the Board of Supervisors would not deny
Madrigal- Wan Hai's request.
Commissioner Herman complknented all individuals involved in this effort. He hopes
that it become a part of a new era when we have more shipping than we've enjoyed.
It is good for the Port and the City as a whole.
ACTION: Commissioner Herman moved approval; Commissioner McCarthy
seconded the motion. All of the Commissioners were in favor; the
resolution was adopted.
6. FACILITIES & OPERATIONS
A. Fisherman's Wharf righting, informational presentation and authorization to advertise
for bids for Construction Contract No. 2631 , "Fisherman's Wharf Lighting
Improvements, Phase I." (Resolution No. 96-106)
Mr. Bouey stated that the Commission approved the award of a professional services
contract to F.W. Associates, Inc. for the design of the Fisherman's Wharf Lighting
Improvements at its March 26, 1996 meeting. The design contract is divided into
three parts: (1) Part 1 - the consultant shall develop a cost effective conceptual
lighting design proposal for all of Fisherman's Wharf. (2) Part 2 - the consultant
shall prepare and furnish the Port with the necessary plans, technical specifications
and a cost estimate for lighting at the inner and outer lagoons and Pier 45 Sheds "A"
and "B." We only have sufficient funding for the construction of these improvements
at this time. The consultant will prepare plans, specifications and a cost estimate for
the remamder of the Fisherman's Wharf project and when funds become available,
this phase of the project will be implemented. (3) Part 3 - the consultant will provide
bid and construction support services during the bidding phase and during
construction. Today, there will be a presentation on the concepts and staff hopes that
there will be favorable response. If so, the Port will then advertise for bids for the
construction of Phase 1 . The construction of this phase is due to be completed by
spring of 1997.
Mr. Cliff Jarrard introduced Sam Kwoong, the consultant for the project. Mr.
Kwoong stated that he is part of the project team of F.W. Associates. Over the past
few months, the project team has completed the concept plan for the Fisherman's
Wharf Lighting project. As part of the initial study, the team looked at the ferry
M102296.igq -7- .
arch, the facade of Pier 45, the inner and outer lagoons, the triangular parking lot and
the adjacent streets next to Fisherman's Wharf. As part of the design process, the
team met with the Fisherman's Wharf Tenant Association, the Port design advisors
and the Fisherman's Wharf Board of Directors. Throughout the many meetmgs, they
have obtained support from all the members of the associations and would like to see
this project move forward. He briefly summarized the development of the design
process and what the next phase will encompass. The study area of the Fisherman's
Wharf consists of a variety of pictures. One of the problems they have identified is
the glare caused by the light fixtures. The lighting design they came up with is a
unifying theme to deal with the lighting and to also tie in to some of the lighting
fixtures established along the Embarcadero roadway. The overall concept plan
includes a ferry arch, which is the focal point at the end of the pier, the inner and
outer lagoon, the facade treatment of Pier 45 , and an electrical service upgrade to
handle the new load that is anticipated for the special function. The other treatment
they have looked at is creating a low level lighting where it's not glary. Along
Jefferson Street, the rhythm of light will be treated similarly to how the Embarcadero
roadway is treated and different fixtures are being considered for that portion. The
acorn fixmres will be along the roadway. They are taking the theme back to a
historical element that they have seen in historical photographs of how the
Fisherman's Wharf used to be lit. The Fisherman's Wharf associations have
expressed their support on this project.
Commissioner McCarthy wanted to ensure that this contract will go through all the
HRC requirements and the extensive outreach. Mr. Bouey replied that all of Port's
contract will go through HRC and would not bring one to the Commission for award
without having received HRC approval. As indicated at the last meeting, 44% of
Port contracts were awarded to MBEAVBE firms last year.
ACTION: Commissioner Cook moved approval; Commissioner Lee seconded the
motion. All of the Commissioners were in favor; the resolution was
adopted.
B . Authorization to award Contract No. 26:^2 "Pier 68 Shipyard Cranes Improvements"
Mr. Bouey stated that this project was originally before the Commission wherein the
staff recommended rejection of bids over a mixed up of the priority of which issue
should be addressed with the limited funding available.. The project was reviewed by
outside consultants and by San Francisco Drydock, who uses these cranes. The
project was rebid and bids were received. The lowest responsive bidder is Sheedy
Drayage in the amount of $1.7 million. This contract is being financed by a grant of
$1.5 million from the Economic Development Administration, $250,000 from the CA
Trade and Commerce Agency and $250,000 in Port funds. Sheedy Drayage
Company exceeds the recommended 6% MBE and 2% WBE subcontracting goals for
this contract. Since there is a small portion of money available from funding sources,
staff requests approval to modify the contract for up to 10% for contingencies.
M102296.igq
Commissioner Herman inquired about the criteria for measuring the validity of the
10% overrun. Mr. Bouey replied that a request for 5% contingency for modifications
is typically brought to the Commission for approval. In this case a 10% contingency
is requested because of the complexity of the project, the uncertainty given the age of
these cranes and the limited money available. Staff is only requesting for approval
for modifications that are within the scope of the contract. If the modifications were
to exceed the scope of the contract, staff will return to the Commission for approval.
Commissioner Herman inquired about the status of Ms. Aileen Hernandez' request at
the last meeting to meet with the Executive Director regarding alleged grievances.
Mr. Bouey responded that the two representatives from Asian Inc. requested the
meeting and that meeting is scheduled for Friday, October 25, at 11 a.m.
Commissioner Hardeman indicated that Commissioner Herman and Commissioner
Lee will attend the meeting and will report back at the next Commission meeting.
ACTION: Commissioner McCarthy moved approval; Commissioner Cook
seconded the motion. All of the Commissioners were in favor; the
resolution was adopted.
7. PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT
A. Approval of final concepmal design for Pier 52 Public Boat Launch, Cafe, Rait and
Tackle Shop and endorsement of preparation of construction documents. (Resolution
No. 96-107)
Mr. Bouey stated that the conceptual design was brought to the Commission for
review. The suggestions made were incorporated into the final conceptual design.
The biggest issue raised by the Commission was the inclusion of a double boat ramp,
which has been incorporated into the design. In addition to the public boat launch,
there is a provision for vehicles and trailers parking as well as a small cafe and bait &
tackle shop. The budget is under $1.9 million. Upon the Commission's endorsement
of the fmal design, the actual construction documents will be prepared and this item
will be brought back to the Commission for approval of bid advertisement.
Sam Kwoong, Architect, stated that they have incorporated the Commissioners
request of a double lane boat ramp and a larger maneuvering area into the design
concept. They have met with Dept. of Public Works to ensure accessibility of this
facility. They have also presented the revised design to the Citizens Advisory
Committee and received their support. Part of the program in enlarging the boat
ramp and the maneuvering area require additional fill to the bay, which is of a
concern to BCDC. Their initial meeting, however, with BCDC seems to indicate that
because this is a water related activity, the additional fill application may be accepted.
Commissioner Cook inquired about the size of the cafe. Mr. Kwoong responded that
the footprint of the building is approxunately 2300 sq. ft., including the public
restroom facility. They also worked with the Port's Leasing Department to discuss
the interior of the shell building and the consensus was to keep it as open as possible
M102296.igq -9-
for the tenant to decide how to best use the space. Commissioner Cook inquired if
there's a criteria for the size of the cafe versus the size of the boaters' needs. Mr.
Kwoong replied that the Port's Leasing Department will be formulating the RFP and
that information will be included in the package. Commissioner Cook wanted to
ensure that there is a balance between the cafe and the intended purpose of the users
of the boat ramp, a facility where they can purchase supplies.
ACTION: Commissioner Cook moved approval; Commissioner Herman seconded
the motion. All of the Commissioners were in favor; the resolution was
adopted.

SUBJECT: Design Parameters for the Mid-Embarcadero Roadway Project.
DIRECTOR'S RECOMMENDATION: APPROVE THE ATTACHED RESOLUTION OF
DESIGN PARAMETERS FOR THE MID-EMBARCADERO ROADWAY PROJECT
The Mid-Embarcadero Roadway project includes realignment of the surface roadway, construction
of the Embarcadero Promenade, and construction of a plaza on the City-side of the Ferry
Building. The project extends from Folsom Street in the south to Broadway Street at the north.
An urban design concept for the Mid-Embarcadero was prepared under the direction of the
Waterfront Transportation Projects Office by a consultant team led by ROMA Design Group. A
copy of a report titled "Mid-Embarcadero Roadway and Open Space Design Concept, August,
1996" was distributed to the Port Commission in September.
THIS PRINT COVERS CALENDAR ITEM NO. 1:6
i
I
On October 8, 1996 the Port Commission adopted a resolution approving the aligmnent of the
Mid-Embarcadero Roadway. The resolution also authorized Port staff to work with the
Waterfront Transportation Project Office to develop urban design criteria for the project. On
October 24, The Waterfront Transportation Project's Office presented the urban design plan and
proposed design parameters for the project to the Port Commission, and the Commission held a
public hearing.
To ensure adequate public comment opportunities on the Mid-Embarcadero Roadway project, Port
staff will hold a publicly noticed meeting on November 7, to elicit further comments on the urban
design concept. Results from the November 7 public meeting will be relayed to Commissioner's
at the Port Commission meeting on November 12.
The design parameters referenced in the attached resolution provide direction to the design team
on acceptance of the arrangement of major spaces such as the central plaza and transition areas,
major features within spaces, and general direction on use and quality of materials. Following
approval of the design parameters, the Waterfront Transportation Projects Office and consultant
team will refme the design, develop detailed cost estimates, and select materials. The refmed
design will be returned to the Port Commission for approval in early 1997.

North and South Embarcadero should be extended north from Harrison Street to Mission
Street and south from Broadway to Washington Street as part of the Mid-Embarcadero
Roadway Project.
• The Art Ribbon should be incorporated into the seat wall of the promenade
south of the Agriculture Building and the railing replaced.
• The Art Ribbon shall be flush v^th the promenade between Pier 5 and the
southern end of the Agriculture Building.
The central plaza should be predominantly a hardscape with high quality materials allowing
flexibility for a variety of uses, including large scale gatherings and day to day human
interaction.
• The central plaza should be paved in a strong, bold, contrasting granite
paving pattern to establish a strong east/west connection between the Ferry
Building and the central plaza.
• The plaza paving should be substantial enough to accommodate vehicular
traffic during special events.
• The trackway and plaza should be paved in the same material to give visual
continuity. The trackway will be depressed three inches and a railing or seat
wall installed for safety of pedestrians.
• Deciduous trees should be used to define the plaza, while still maintaining a
strong ground plane.
• The central plaza design should incorporate two water or architectural
features located on either side of the Ferry Building portico.
-1-
i
The central plaza should incorporate street furniture such as news or flower
kiosks, benches, potted plants and/or public art which add to the comfort of
the user and add human interest and scale.
The transition zone between the park and the roadway, from the wave wall on the north end
and the top of the berm on the south end east to the roadway, should be improved in
conjunction with the roadway project. It should be designed as a tiered feature to create
greater accessibility and yet maintain the function of buffering traffic noise.
• The continuity of the double row of palm trees should be maintained in the
mid-section of The Embarcadero, shifting to the land side between Mission
and Washington Street.
The southern portion of Block 202 should be the site of replacement underground parking
garage, and should be re-landscaped in conjunction with the development of the garage.
5. An implementation program should be devised for the open space improvements that
responds to the following priorities:
• The central plaza and transition zone should be completed as part of the
roadway project.
• A maintenance/management entity should be assigned the responsibility of
maintaining and programing these public spaces at a level commensurate
with the investment.

SUBJECT: Approval of Harbor Traffic Code Amendment Regarding Restrictions on
Outdoor Signs
DIRECTOR'S RECOMMENDATION: APPROVE RESOLUTION.
I
The Port Commission has the authority to amend the Harbor Traffic Code ("Code") to
regulate outdoor signs and advertisements on Bay waters within the Port's jurisdiction.
Recently, a tug and barge was employed for the purpose of displaying a very large
advertisement on the Bay. I've been concerned, along with the San Francisco Board of
Supervisors, various other agencies, the media and private individuals about this use.
Issues that arise from this activity include visual pollution caused by such signs and the
threat posed to the safety of vehicular and pedestrian traffic which may distracted by the
signs which are visible from adjacent roadways and highways.
The City currently prohibits vehicles to be used exclusively for advertising on City streets,
including streets within Port jurisdiction. In 1992 the City amended Section 680 of the
Police Code to ban trucks that towed billboards around the City. To address this activity
on Port waters, a similar amendment to the Code is now proposed whose fundamental
provisions include the following:
1 . Language extending the area covered by the Code to include all lands and waters
within the Port's jurisdiction, and
THIS PRINT COVERS CALENDAR ITEM NO. iC

Language banning outdoor signs and advertisements on all waterbome vessels,
including but not limited to motorized, towed or sailing vessels of any kind, such
as ships, boats, tugboats, barges and sailboats, unless the waterbome vessel is
being used primarily to transport passengers or goods. By exempting vessels used
primarily for the transportation of passengers or goods, this exemption ^iil not
prohibit advertising on ferry boats, excursion boats, passenger ships, cargo ships
and similar vessels. Further, all vessels will continue to be able to display their
names and logos since these do not propose a commercial transaction.

Approval of Lease with Fiicka McGurrin, dba Pier 23 Cafe, at Pier 23, and
approval of amendment to BCDC Permit No. M78-106 for the creation and
dedication of permanent public access adjacent to the Pier 23 Cafe
DIRECTOR'S RECOMMENDATION: APPROVE LEASE WITH FLICKA MCGURRIN,
dba PIER 23 CAFE, AND AMENDMENT TO BCDC PERMIT NO. M78-106
BACK GROUND
Pier 23 Cafe
Fiicka McGurrm has operated the Pier 23 Cafe since she purchased the business m August 1987.
Her tenancy was on a month-to-month basis until the Port granted her a 3-year lease in 1994.
pursuant to its Policy for Leasing Retail Business Sites (discussed below). The current lease
expires April 30, 1997. While the existing premises contain 4,385 square feet, only 1,440 square
feet are located inside the restaurant building. The current monthly base rent is $5,600.00, versus
percentage rent calculated at 7% of gross receipts. During the 1995/96 Fiscal Year, the Pier 23
Cafe generated gross sales of $2,301,410 ($525 per sq. ft.) and paid $162,618 ($37.09 per sq. ft.)
of rent to the Port.
I
Pursuant to the Port's Policy for Leasmg Retail Busmess Sites, Ms. McGurrin has now requested
a new long term lease following the expu-ation of her existing 3-year lease. She has submined a
business plan for redevelopmg the restaurant, which includes a significant investment. Pursuant
THIS PRINT COVERS CALENDAR ITEM NO. 5 A
I
I
Agenda Item No. 5 A
November 12, 1996
Page 2
to the Policy for Leasing Retail Business Sites, Port staff has reviewed the Tenant's compliance
with the criteria for direct negotiation of a long term restaurant lease, and staff has negotiated a
renewal lease for the Pier 23 Cafe.
Policy for Leasing RetaU Business Sites
On April 28, 1993, the Port Commission approved the Policy for Leasing Retail Business Sites
(Resolution No. 93-52). This policy reaffirms the Port's commitment to foster and encourage fall
and equitable opportunities for leasing retail sites on the waterfront through an outreach and
competitive bid or request for proposal process (in accordance with Section 23.24 of the
Administrative Code). However, the policy also allows for the direct negotiation of a lease with
an existing retail tenant if the benefits of direct negotiation exceed the benefits of a public offering.
The policy offered a one time oppormnity for an existing month-to-month tenant to receive a short-
term 3-year lease, provided the tenant was in good standing and was in compliance with
affirmative action requirements. This short term lease opportunity was granted to provide time
for the tenant to develop a business plan and strategy for capital investment.
For a longer lease to then be awarded to an existing retail tenant through direct negotiation, the
Commission must determine that:
1 . The tenant is in good standing:
2. The tenant is commdtted to making a significant capital investment supponed by a sound
business plan which will benefit the Port;
3. The tenancy is m the best economic interest of the Port, and the tenant is the best economic
tenant available based upon sales and revenue to the Port, rent comparables. and a stable
growth pattern; and
4. The tenant has a good record of affirmative action and nondiscrimination and is committed
to future compliance.
As discussed below, Port staff believes that Flicka McGurrin, dba the Pier 23 Cafe, and her
proposed busmess plan satisfy the criteria for dkect negofiation pursuant to the Polic>- for Leasing
Retail Business Sites.
1. Good Standing
Flicka McGurrin has a consistent history of compliance with all of the obligations of her
existing lease. Moreover, she has consistently demonstrated good business practices,
y_
Agenda Item No. 5 A
November 12, 1996
Page 3
provided a dependable level of goods and service, and provided a welcoming atmosphere
to customers of diverse background and ethnicity.
2. Sound Business Plan
The proposed premises are comprised of the existing freestanding restaurant building and
portions of the adjacent wharf. The business plan proposes expansion of the restaurant
operation and redevelopment of the premises through a three-phased project. It will also
include development of an adjacent public access area required by BCDC. (A layout of
the planned improvements are shown on the attached site plan.) The planned
improvements, which are estimated to cost a total of approximately $202,935, will be made
at the sole cost and expense of the Tenant. The improvements, which will be fiinded from
the cash flow of the restaurant, will be undertaken in the following three phases:
a. Phase I will involve: Replacement and up-grade of sewer and wastelines; addition
of a covered garbage and operational support area; construction of a new fence; and the
development of the public access area required by BCDC. The cost for the Phase I
improvements is estimated at $72,875.
b. Phase n wiU involve: The construction of partial cover over the existing exterior
dining area; construction of two handicap restrooms including all required plumbing;
complete remodel of interior dining area; and construction of new patio fence. The cost
for the Phase n improvements is estimated at $90,060.
c. Phase III will involve: The complete remodel of the kitchen and bar areas. The
cost for the Phase m improvements is estimated at $40,000.
The entire improvement project is scheduled to be completed by May 1, 1999.
3. Best Economic Tenant
The fatality rate for restaurants, especially so called "white tablecloth" restaurants, is very
high. Yet, for nine years, the Pier 23 Cafe has been a stable tenant with a very positive
growth trend, succeeding in a very competitive market despite the disruptions caused by
the Loma Prieta Earthquake and by the construction of the nearby Waterfront
Transportation Project. It has in fact established itself as one of the best and most
consistently performing restaurants, not only on Port property, but also in San Francisco.

The excellent growth in sales of the Pier 23 Cafe since it was acquired by Ms. McGurrin
in 1987 is demonstrated on the accompanying chart. Its sales grew by 8659^, from
$238,453 in Fiscal Year 1986/87 (before its purchase by Ms. McGurrm) to $2,301,410
in Fiscal Year 1995/96. This compares to growth of only 114% for all Port Restaurants
during the same period.
In Fiscal Year 1995/96, Port restaurant tenants at Fisherman's Wharf generated average
annual sales of $540 per square foot, and those on the Central and Northeastern Waterfront
generated average annual sales of $502 per square feet. By comparison, the Pier 23 Cafe
generated sales of $1,598 per square foot based on its interior area, and $525 per square
feet based upon its entire premises (including the outside area). Its sales per square foot
based upon the interior space make it the most productive restaurant on Port Property.
The total rental of $37.09 per sq. ft. paid in Fiscal Year 1997/96 (based upon the entire
premises area) is in the range of the minimum rent typically paid by competitive
restaurants on the Northern and Central Waterfront that are not on Port property^
Implementation of this proposed busmess plan is expected to significantly increase the sales
of the Pier 23 Cafe. After the proposed redevelopment and expansion is completed, the
Pier 23 Cafe is projected to generate annual gross sales of $3,695,000. Based on these
sales projections, the Port would realize annual rent of approximately $258,700, or $59.00
per sq. ft.
4. Affirmative Action
Port staff has determined that Flicka McGurrin has a good affirmative action record in
employment, purchasing and contracting. In addition. Port staff has reviewed and
approved the Affirmative Action and Nondiscrimination Plan prepared in conjunction with
the lease negotiation, which would be enforceable by the lease. It should be further noted
that Flicka McGurrin is a Certified WBE.
BCDC Permit
The improvements proposed by Ricka McGurrin requke BCDC approval, and BCDC has agreed
to approve these improvements through an amendment to BCDC Permit No. M78-106. One of
the conditions imposed by BCDC in this amendment is the creation and dedication of an area of
permanent public access adjacent to the Pier 23 Cafe, as shown on the attached site plan. The
proposed amendment also establishes a maintenance obligation for the public access area. All
responsibility for the public access area under this amendment will be assigned to the tenant under
the proposed lease.

SUBJECT: Approval of Month to Month Lease with Joshaa Pry or, dba China Basin
Charter/Ruby Sailing, at Pier 23
DIRECTOR'S RECOMMENDATION: APPROVE MONTH TO MONTH LEASE WITH
JOSHUA PRYOR, DBA CHINA BASIN CHARTER/RUBY SAILING
BACKGROUND
Joshua Pry or, dba China Basin Charter/Ruby Sailing, is the owner of the 60 foot sailing yacht
Ruby ("Ruby"), which he has operated as a sailing excursion yacht on San Francisco Bay for the
past sixteen years. He currently berths the Ruby at Ramp Restaurant, which is operated by Saint
Francis Marine Center under Port Lease No. L-11211.
Mr. Pryor now desires to operate the Ruby from his own layberth and landing facilit}' located at
Pier 23, under a lease directly with the Port. This proposed facility, which would be constructed
by Mr. Pryor at his sole cost and expense, would include a 60 ft. long float with a handicap
accessible ramp. It would be developed in conjunction with the redevelopment of the Pier 23
Cafe, and it would be covered by the same amendment to BCDC Permit No. M78-1.06.
THIS PRINT COVERS CALENDAR ITEM NO. 5B
Agenda Item No. 5B
Page 2
Port staff has negotiated a month to month lease with Pry or for the proposed layberth and landing
facility at Pier 23. Port Commission approval is required because this use is not included in the
Leasing Parameters preapproved by the Port Commission.
At the direction of the Port Commission, Port staff in 1991 conducted an extensive study of the
excursion vessel market. This study determined that there appeared to be market demand for
additional excursion landing facilities on Port property, and it identified the general market rental
parameters for excursion vessel leases. On October 28, 1992, the Port Commission approved the
Policy for Accommodating Additional Excursion Boats at the Port of San Francisco (Resolution
No. 92-112). This established rental guidelines for Port staff to negotiate excursion vessel leases,
which mcluded: (1) percentage rents equal to 5% to 7% of gross receipts; (2) minimum rent equal
to 75% of annual percentage rent payments; (3) 5-year lease terms; and (4) possible rent credits.
This policy also identified Piers 3 and 9 as suitable mterim locations for accommodating excursion
vessel facilities. Finally, the policy directed Port staff to announce the availability of leases for
basing and operating excursion vessels. This announcement was made, including extensive
outreach to potential tenants, but no leases were consummated. Since that time, the draft
Waterfront Plan has identified many additional locations on Port property, including Pier 23, that
would be suitable for excursion vessel facilities.
PROPOSED LEASE
1. Premises: Approximately 1,692 square feet of water space, and approximately 84 square
feet of open wharf space.
2. Term; Month to Month, commencing June 1, 1996.
3. Use: Layberth and excursion vessel landing.
4. Base Rent:
a. Initial Base Rent of $400.00 per month. (Due to the very seasonal namre of the
business for sailing excursions, this monthly rent would approximate, and may
actually exceed, the percentage rent during winter months.)
b. Adjustments to Base Rent: Annual cost of living increases.
5. Percentage Rent: 6% of all gross receipts (offset by monthly minimum rent).
6. Maintenance: Tenant responsible for all mamtenance to the Premises, except for the pier
substrucmre.

7. Tenant Improvements: Tenant will install at Tenant's sole cost and expense all tenant
improvements which shall include: a handicap accessible ramp; fence and securit}' gate to

total of approxunately S75,000. The removable improvements, such as the float, will
remain the personal property of the Tenant.

Hyde and Leavenworth Streets, and on the north side of Jefferson Street between Mason and
Powell Streets
DIRECTOR'S RECOMMENDATION: Amend Port Conmiission Resolution No. 95-38
Background
The Port Commission, the City and County of San Francisco and the J.C. Decaux Company
entered into a contract in April, 1994 to install four self-cleaning public toilets and eight public
service kiosks within the Port's jurisdiction. The originally intended locations of the toilets and
kiosks were identified in Resolution No. 95-38, which is attached for reference. The purpose
of today's item is to request an amendment to Resolution No. 95-38 to allow the relocation of
two kiosks.
In meetings with representatives of the Fisherman's Wharf community, two of the approved
locations (Jefferson and Mason Streets, and Jefferson and Hyde Streets), were identified as
posing potential traffic conflicts with the proposed F-Line Historic Streetcar and with
pedestrian traffic. The Port, the Mayor's Office and the J.C. Decaux Company identified new
locations for these kiosks, which were identified and discussed at the September 24, 1 996 Port
Commission meeting.

Approval of J.C. Decaux Kiosk locations
November 12, 1996
Page Two
A proposed amendment to Port Commission Resolution No. 95-38 was introduced at the
September 24, 1996 meeting (Port Commission Resolution No. 96-97) which would have
approved the new locations. However, the revised locations were also problematic for some
of the merchants in the Fisherman's Wharf community. With the affected merchant's
concurrence. Resolution No. 96-97 was adopted on September 24, 1 996 with the provision that
the actual installation of the kiosks at their new locations would not commence without the
approval of the affected parties.
Another series of meetings were held to identify mutually acceptable locations for the two
kiosks. New locations have been identified for the kiosks, as shown in the attached drawings.
They are described as follows:
Original Location Proposed New Location
Mason and Jefferson North side of Jefferson Street, east of the Mason
Street intersection, at the back of the sidewalk
Jefferson and Hyde South side of Jefferson Street, between Hyde
and Leavenworth Streets, in front of the entrance
to the Cannery courtyard, next to the curb
Due to the shift in location from those identified in the September 24, 1996 meeting, the
decision was made to reissue the public notices and hold another public hearing. Public
Notices were sent out and posted in compliance with Department of Ihiblic Works Order No.
169,739 to all property owners within a 150 foot radius of the proposed new locations.
Additionally, notices were provided to all Port tenants immediately adjacent to the new
locations and within the 150 foot radius.
There have been a number of technical and cost problems that have hindered finding an
acceptable location at the Port for the fourth toilet, including load capacity of the seawall,
availability and cost of utihty connections and potential conflicts with other Port construction
projects, including the Mid-Embarcadero Roadway Project. Accordingly, staff proposes
transferring its right to this toilet to the City in exchange for assurances from the Mayor's
Office that if the program is expanded in the future, the Port will have the right to locate
another toilet on its property. The contract with Decaux does not need to be amended to effect
this transfer, although the agreement will nevertheless be appropriately documented.

SUBJECT: Presentation on Wireless Telecommunications Services Facilities Siting Guidelines
DIRECTOR'S RECOMMENDATION: Information only; no action required
Background
The changes in the telecommunications industry that have occurred in the last several years have
raised concerns in the public about the siting of Wireless Telecommunications Services (WTS)
facilities. WTS include Personal Communications Services, Enhanced Specialized Mobile Radio
and other similar wireless communication systems needed to support this rapidly growing industry.
The Department of City Planning has prepared a comprehensive report on this topic entitled
"Wireless Telecommunications Services (WTS) Facilities Siting Guidelines" which has been
attached for your reference and review. The City Planning Commission has adopted a resolution
(which is included in the report) urging the Port Commission to utilize these guidelines in planning,
evaluating and permitting WTS facilities within Port jurisdiction.

Presentation on Wireless Telecommunications Guidelines
November 12, 1996
Page Two
The Department of City Planning report is a comprehensive summary of the entire wireless
telecommunications industry, and provides a sound basis on which to base Cits' Planning
Commission and Port Commission policies regarding these facilities. The report is summarized
below.
The Port is currently in the process of developing an Urban Design and Public Access Plan (in
conjunction with the Waterfront Plan) which will provide general design criteria for fiiture use and
development of Port property. Any guidelines for wireless telecommunications facilities adopted
or developed by the Port will be coordinated and integrated v/ith the Urban Design and Public
Access Plan.
Summary of Wireless Telecommunications Services Facilities Siting Guidelines
(Prepared by the Department of City Planning)
Section 1 provides same background on the WTS industry, including a summary of the existing
WTS facilities currently in operation in San Francisco.
Sections 2 and 6 summarizes public concerns that have been expressed about WTS, including health
and safety, visual/aesthetics, costs and benefits.
Section 3 provides a description of v^eless technologies, and the specific issues raised in an area
such as San Francisco.
Section 4 summaries federal, state and local regulations affecting the WTS industry. The FCC is
the primary federal agency regulating WTS operations. At the local level, the Planning Code has
provided for the approval of communications towers for some time, but as mentioned above the
rapid change in wireless technology is raising concerns in the public about the number of facilities
required to accommodate the growth in the industry.
Section 5 summarizes the elements of the City's General Plan that affect WTS.
Section 7 includes proposed WTS facihties siting policies which are general statements about how
the City and Port should approach the accommodation of these facilities.
Section 8 identifies location preferences for WTS facilities. (Note: Public use structures are
identified as the top priority locations for these facilities).
h:wireless.\vpd.Q

Section 9 provides building siting criteria (i.e. methods for reducing the visual impact of WTS
facilities).
Section 10 lists information required by the Department of City Planning for all WTS applications.
(The Port may or may not require the same type and level of information identified in this report).
Section 1 1 identifies sample conditions of approval proposed by the Department of City Planning.
Again, the Port may or may not require that all of these conditions be met for WTS fecilities on Port
property.
The Port and City Attorney's OfBce staff will be preparing a report and recommendation on
Wireless Telecommunications Guidelines for the Port Commission's consideration. The intent is
to bring this item to the Port Commission at the December 10, 1996 Commission meeting.
This is an uiformational item only; no action is required at this time.

SUBJECT: Resolution authorizing the Executive Director to execute BCDC Permit No. 5-96
(Pier 38 Maritime Recreation Center, Inc.) including the creation and dedication of permanent
public access areas
DIRECTOR'S RECOMMENDATION: Approve the attached resolution
Background
The Port was approached in 1995 by Mr. Carl Ernst and Pier 38 Maritime Recreation Center,
Inc. ("MRC") regarding the development of a maritime recreation center at Pier 38. On August
29, 1995 the Port Commission adopted Resolution No. 95-70 approving an exclusive
negotiating agreement with MRC. At the Port Commission meeting on February 13, 1996 the
Port Commission adopted Resolution No. 96-20, which authorized a lease between the Port and
MRC for a full service maritime recreation center at Pier 38. The lease was subsequently
approved by the San Francisco Board of Supervisors pursuant to City Charter Section 7.402-1.
The Pier 38 Maritime Recreation Center will offer dry boat storage and boat launching, small
boat rental, transient berthing, new and used boat sales, a maritime chandlery, a casual dining
snack bar and full service restaurant, related customer parking, administrative offices and
public facilities and public access.

Pier 38 Maritime Recreation Center BCDC Permit
November 12, 1996
Page Two
On October 17, 1996 the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission, by
a vote of 16 affirmative, 0 negative, and 0 abstentions, approved a permit for the Pier 38
Maritime Recreation Center project. Since the Port Commission has the power and duty to use,
conduct, operate, maintain, manage, regulate and control the Port area of San Francisco, the
Port of San Francisco is required to be "co-permittee" for the BCDC permit.
The BCDC permit addresses the following issues:
• Authorizes and permits work within the Bay and with the 1 00-foot shoreline band
• EstabUshes special conditions of the development, including conformity with specific
plans, public access, pubUc restrooms, garbage storage and handling, marina conditions
and other construction related items
• Presents the Bay Commission's findings and declarations regarding uses, fill, public
access, design and other issues
• Establishes standard conditions of the development
The attached site plan shows the location of the public access areas required as part of the
project, which include approximately 22, 859 square feet of public access around the perimeter
of the pier. The public access improvements are to be constructed in phases between the
commencement of the permit and December 31, 2001 and include a pedestrian pathway wdth
handrails and lighting, benches, trash receptacles and signage.
Resolution No. 96-1 1 5 would authorize the Executive Director to enter into BCDC Permit No.
5-96 which includes special conditions requiring the creation, dedication and maintenance of
permanent public access areas. The lease between the Port and MRC assigns all of the
responsibility for the public access areas to MRC. A public access dedication instrument will
be recorded that creates legal rights for the public to use the public access areas for the term of
the project.

Acceptance of Quitclaim Deed from Catellus Development Corporation of
easement over approximately 4.417 acres of real property located at 6th and
Channel Street (leased to Mission Creek Harbor Association)
DIRECTOR'S RECOMMENDATION: ACCEPT QUITCLAIM DEED
I.
RACKGROIJND
Catellus Development Corporation owns a forty-foot wide easement for access and utilities,
a portion of which encumbers approximately 4.417 acres of Port property located near 6th
Street and Channel Street leased by Mission Creek Harbor Association ("MCH.A."). Under
its Lease with MCHA, Port agreed to obtain a waiver, consent or other agreement from
Catellus to allow MCHA to use the leasehold property as though the easement did not exist.
MCHA needs the easement property as part of its leasehold to comply with a BCDC Order
requiring the construction of certain public access improvements.
In furtherance of its Lease commitment, on August 18, 1992, the Port entered into an
agreement with Catellus, whereby Catellus agreed to deliver a quitclaim deed to the Port for
the easement. The Port and MCHA entered into a Second Amendment to Lease, dated
August 18, 1992, whereby the parties agreed that the Port's actions had satisfied its
obligation to extinguish the easement. The Second Amendment to Lease was approved by
the Port Commission by Resolution No. 92-62, and by the San Francisco Board of
Supervisors Ordinance No. 241-92.
The Quitclaim Deed was not to be recorded until certain conditions occurred, including the
recordation of a public access dedication and the full execution of an agreement between
THIS PRINT COVERS CALENDAR ITEM NO. lOB
Port Commission
Page 2
Port, City Planning, MCHA and Catellus. The Quitclaim Deed has been executed and
delivered to the Port by Catellus and is now ready for recordation. A copy of the Quitclaim
Deed is attached hereto.
Under Government Code Section 27281, deeds conveying any easement in real estate to a
governmental agency must be accompanied by a resolution of acceptance attached to or
printed on the deed. Although the Commission and Board has already agreed to the transfer
of the easement to the Port, the Recorder's Office has requested that a formal certificate of
acceptance be attached. The attached resolution authorizes the Port's Executive Director to
execute a certificate of acceptance in the form attached, so that the Quitclaim Deed can be
recorded.

Approval of Second Amendment to Lease and Consent to Encumbrance

DIRECTOR'S RECOMMENDATION: APPROVE SECOND AMENDMENT TO
LEASE AND CONSENT TO ENCUMBRANCE WITH BUNDOX RESTAURANT,
INC. dba THE WATERFRONT RESTAURANT, AT PIER 7 V2
I.
RArKGROITNT)
On October 25, 1994, by Resolution No. 94-133, the Port Commission approved Lease
No. L- 11 859, a new twenty-year lease with Bundox for the Waterfront Restaurant and
adjacent premises ("Lease"). Lease L-11859, was approved by the Board of Supervisors
on December 19, 1994, by Ordinance No. 412-94.
Section 2 of the Lease provides that the Lease shall commence and be effective on the
"Commencement Date" which shall be the date on which, among other things, Bundox
procures financing for Phase I of the Tenant Improvements at commercially reasonable
terms. Section 2 of the Lease further provided that if Bundox fails to receive a financing
commitment on or before July 30, 1995, the Lease shall become null and void. Bundox
was unable to obtain financing at commercially reasonable terms by June 30, 1995. As a
result, the Lease became null and void.
In early 1996, Bundox entered into negotiations for financing with Bank of America and
the Small Business Administration. In response to certain requests from those lenders,
Bundox and Port negotiated a Reaffirmation and Amendment to Lease and Consent to
THIS PRINT COVERS CALENDAR ITEM NO. laC
MEMBERS, PORT COMMISSION
Page 2
Encumbrance ("Reaffirmation"). Under the Reaffirmation, the parties agreed to extend
the condition precedent period for Bundox's financing until June 30, 1996. The parties
also amended the Lease to accommodate certain requests by Bundox's lenders, and to
clarify certain provisions of the Lease. The Reaffirmation was approved by the Port
Commission and the Board of Supervisors. The Port's resolution and Board Ordinance
authorized the Executive Director to enter into such additional agreement as necessary to
effect the financing.
In June, 1996, Bundox's negotiations with Bank of America and SBA stalled, and Bundox
entered into negotiations with Heller First Capital. The Reaffirmation was modified to
replace BofA and SBA with Heller, and was signed by the Port and Bundox on June 28,
1996. On June 28, 1996, Heller provided the Port with satisfactory proof of a loan
commitment to satisfy the Lease condition precedent, and the Lease went into effect on
July 1, 1996.
Although Heller had conditionally agreed to provide financing for the project, Bimdox
was able to obtain more favorable financing terms from the City and County of San
Francisco through the Mayor's Office of Conununity Development (City"). As a condition
to the financing. City has requested the Port to consent to the encumbrance of the Lease.
In addition. Port and Tenant desire to modify the Reaffirmation to delete provisions that
had been negotiated to suit the requirements of the prior potential lenders. A copy of the
proposed Second Amendment is attached hereto, and is on file with the Secretary of the
Port Commission. The Second Amendment does not add any new provisions that had not
been previously approved by the Port Commission and Board of Supervisors. Its purpose
is to consent to the City as a lender, and to make non-substantial clerical corrections to the
previous Reaffirmation and Amendment.

3. EXECUTIVE
A. Executive Director's Report - Mr. Bouey reported the following:
1) On October 28, there was an oil spill at Pier 70 which resulted in a significant
amount of oil reaching the bay. San Francisco Dry dock notified the Port and
other appropriate agencies expeditiously. Port staff responded that night and
thereafter. There was, however, a press release by Save the Bay which indicated
that the Port had not closed its fishing piers, thereby exposing fishermen to
potential problems with fish that were caught. Port staff met with appropriate
authorities including the Department of Public Health and Fish and Game. After
their survey of the area, they indicated there was no health threat and, therefore,
it was not necessary to close the fishing piers. The Port is an integral part of the
Unified Command consisting of, among others, the Coast Guard, Fish & Game
and Dept. of Public Health. Also, Port staff has hired a consultant to assess any
damage that may have occurred to our waterfront or our facilities.
2) On November 11, there was another oil spill. This was a result of an operation
by B&C. The Port has had other problems with B&C, for example, they
extended their operation beyond their leasehold on more than one occasion and
they engage in activities which are not provided for in their lease. Staff will
continue its investigation and may terminate their lease.
M111296.igq
Commissioner Cook stated that it was his understanding that the Department of
Fish and Game is responsible for the health of the fish and asked Mr. Bouey if
his interpretation is accurate. Mr. Bouey responded that the Port has the
responsibility as a landlord to ensure that our tenants do not do anything to
endanger the fish or the quality of the water or soil. The Department of Fish and
Game, however, has the direct responsibility. Commissioner Cook indicated that
Save the Bay should understand that the Port does not have the facility to test
water, to determine the health of the fish. A policy should be directed and made
very clear that the Port has the authority to close fishing facilities but Fish and
Game can make the analysis that the Port is unable to make. Mr. Bouey stated
that the points the Port makes are (1) we were asking the right questions at the
right time and (2) based on an analysis by those competent a decision was made
that it was not necessary to close these facilities thereby decreasing the amount of
inconvenience that had otherwise had occurred to those people who use the
facility.
Commissioner McCarthy inquired about the location of the second oil spill. Mr.
Bouey responded that the tenancy is adjacent to San Francisco Drydock.
B . ApproA^aLof Design Parameters for the Mid-Fmharcadern Roadway and Plaza project.
(Resolution No. 96-113)
Mr. Bouey stated that this item was before the Commission on two previous
occasions. It is now back to the Commission for adoption. At the last meeting, it
was discussed that staff would work at providing a synopsis to the Commission for its
approval. To ensure maximum public input, a November 7th hearing was scheduled.
More than 350 notices were sent out and only 10 members of the public came to the
meeting. There were no major recommendations made at the meeting that would in
any way change the recommendations. The design parameters are enumerated in the
attached resolution. He then introduced Dan Hodapp who made a brief presentation.
Mr. Hodapp indicated that the purpose of this item is to approve the general design
parameters for the project. At the October 24 Commission meeting, the Waterfront
Transportation Project office and the consultant presented the design to the
Commission. On November 7, a public hearing to elicit further comments was held
at the Port. He mentioned that some of the comments were very positive. They were
looking at how to handle many of the detailed design items of the project such as the
trees, the size and the spacing of the trees, items that the consultant is now evaluating.
The design parameters referenced in the attached resolution confirm the direction
provided by other City departments and provide direction to the design team on
acceptance of the major spaces such as the central plaza and the transition areas. It
also mentioned that there is to be a strong bold paving pattern of granite to be used in
the granite but it does not specifically say which pattern. One of the comments at the
public meeting was people like the idea of the trees but they are very concerned of the
views.
Commissioner Herman inquired about public comments regarding trees. Mr. Hodapp
M111296.igq
replied that there was support for trees in the plaza area. There was concern about
viewing of the Ferry Building, either above, below, or through the trees. There seem
to be a general consensus for the two objectives of having trees and being able to see.
The project designers and City staff believe that those two goals can be accomplished
within the present design.
Commissioner Herman raised a constructive disagreement with trees in front of the
Ferry Building. He stated that this is a major arterial area and that there are all kinds
of vehicles diverging all hours of day and night. The Ferry Building has a rare and
unique beauty. The trees, in his judgement, create confusion. He thinks the plaza
should be wide open. The number of trees, the placement and the size of trees should
be rethought so there is a clean drive-through area. Mr. Hodapp indicated that the
final decision of the size and placement of trees has not been suggested by the
consultant at this time. He showed the Commission a photo of the proposed plaza
with and without the trees. The first design of the plaza by the consultant did not
include the trees in the central plaza. Commissioner McCarthy reiterated that the tree
situation is yet to be approved. Mr. Hodapp stated that we are looking at the general
parameters. The general parameters do state, which the general public has expressed
with consensus, that trees should be used in the plaza to soften the area. Mr. Bouey
interjected that there will be an opportunity for the Commission to see the plan before
it is effectuated. Mr. Hodapp stated that this will be brought back to the Commission
after the first of the year when many of the design details can be worked out and there
will be opportunities for the Commission to visit the model.
Commissioner Cook requested for a clarification of the seat wall and replacement of
the railing as indicated in Appendix A. Mr. Hodapp responded that this project
extends from Broadway in the north, all the way down to Folsom in the south.
Between the Agricultural Building and Folsom Street, there is an existing promenade
with a seat wall and a galvanized railing. The proposal is to replace that railing with
a railing consistent with what is being designed as part of the Ferry Terminal
improvements and not to have two types of seat wall. North of the Agricultural
Building, the art ribbon shall be flushed with the pavement. The current design
includes removing the concrete wall and replacing it with a railing. Commissioner
Cook then inquired about how the ribbon will fit into the railing. Mr. Hodapp
responded that the ribbon sits in front of the railing. The exact location of those raised
elements has not been finalized by the design team. Mr. Hodapp stated that they have
asked the design team to look at ways to minimize the type of impact caused by
skateboarders. Commissioner Cook recommended taking a hard look if we want a
raised ribbon in the area and have it flushed with the sidewalk. Mr. Hodapp stated
that based on directions from this Commission in the past, they have told the design
team that if they have raised section it should also include elements to it that prevents
it from becoming a public nuisance but will pass onto them Commissioner Cook's
recommendation.
Commissioner Hardeman commented that during special events, he envisions people
on trees which would cause potential liability problems to the Port. He also
concurred with Commissioner Herman's comment about open area in front of the
M111296.igq
Ferry Building.
Lee Gotshall Maxon, representing the owners of One Maritime Plaza building and
also work closely with the owners of the Embarcadero Center and two Hyatt Hotels in
the area, One Market Plaza and Golden Gate Center, stated that those owners
enthusiastically support this design concept and hope that the Commission adopts this
item today.
Carl Maletic stated that, at the last meeting, they passed out an extensive brochure
that outline an alternative design for this area. He too concurred with Commissioner
Herman about the trees. There was a comment at the public meeting against the
trees, blocking the elevation of the Ferry Building. Regarding the public meeting
held November 7, there were only ten attendees, 5 of which were Port staff. He
believed that there is inadequate public input into the design parameters. He
requested the Commission to table this item and put another public notice for input on
the design parameters.
Mr. Bouey stated that after having sent out 350 notices, and given the fact that this
item has gone through 12 public hearings, people perhaps had said what they had to
say and it's time to move on.
ACTION: Commissioner McCarthy moved approval; Commissioner Herman
seconded the motion. All of the Commissioners were in favor; the
resolution was adopted.
C. Approval of Harbor Traffic Code AmenHment regarding restrictions on outdoor signs.
(Resolution No. 96-112)
Mr. Bouey stated that for some time now, it's been common knowledge that there is a
tug and barge that have been employed for the purposes of displaying large
advertisements on the bay. A number of agencies have looked into whether they
could regulate them and concluded they do not have the capability. Port staff,
requested the City Attorney to do an analysis of the Port's authority and found that
the Port has the authority to amend the Harbor Traffic Code to regulate outdoor signs
and advertisements on bay waters. Current City policy prohibits vehicles to be used
exclusively for advertising on City streets including streets within Port jurisdiction.
In 1992, the City amended Section 680 of Police Code to ban trucks that put
billboards around the City. Staff requests that the Commission adopt this concept for
the waters on the bay. Mr. Bouey stated that the Commission was given a substitute
second page of the memorandum and second page of the resolution and he then
enumerated the changes.
Commissioner Cook inquired if the advertisement on vessels transporting passengers
is permitted. He wondered if the concept of an advertisement such as in Muni is
covered in this resolution. Mr. Bouey replied that the City vehicles are exempt but
that there is a move to incorporate them. Mr. John Rakow, Legal Counsel, replied
that this language is to permit San Francisco ferry passenger ships to continue to
.M111296.igq
-4-
advertise on board. For example, on the Golden Gate ferry, there is an advertisement
for a particular product in the bar. That type of advertisement is permitted; the
advertising affixed to the sides of the vessels is prohibited. In the resolution,
advertising that occurs on board the vessels is exempted. Mr. Rakow stated that our
provision is more restrictive than Muni. The Port is trying to avoid any constitutional
limitations on free speech. The Port is trying to be content neutral, and not interfere
with ongoing business relationships. Mr. Bouey stated that if there is a problem, staff
can bring it back to the Commission and amend the Harbor Code. Commissioner
Cook stated that he prefers the resolution to state advertising inside the passenger
vessel is permissible. The way the current resolution is written it connotes that
advertisement on the exterior is allowed. If the intent of the resolution is to allow
advertising on the inside of passenger boats but not on the outside, he is satisfied with
the resolution.
Corinne Woods pointed out that most of the big boats that race on S.F. Bay,
including the America's Cup, have a lot of advertising on them. A lot of boats have
advertising on their sails as well. She does not think that it is the intent of the Port to
eliminate the possibility of having America's Cup boat here or nor it's the intent of
the Port to eliminate the East Navy banners that go up during Fleet Week.
ACTION: Commissioner Lee moved approval; Commissioner Cook seconded the
motion. All of the Commissioners were in favor; the resolution was
adopted.
9. SPECIAL ITEM
A. Port Commissinn Siihrnrnmittee's Recommendation on Maritime Services
Organization. (Resolution No. 96-105)
Commissioner Herman requested that Item 9A be heard first and offered a substimte
"resolved" for the resolution to read as follows, "Resolved that the Commission's
subcommittee recommends that a separate Maritime Services Division be created to
include cargo and ship repair industries. The new division shall be headed by a
Director of Maritime Services and will include marketing and operations staff. " He
indicated that he is displeased with the proposal that is before the Commission. He
believes that the Commission should have the oppormnity to vote on this proposal and
urged the Commission to adopt this as a substitute for Item 9A.
Commissioner Cook stated that this is not a substimte motion but rather a major staff
reorganization. The resolution from two weeks ago is different. This substimte
resolution is different from what is scheduled to be heard today. He feels it is
inappropriate to discuss a major staff reorganization at the last minute. He requested
this item be heard at the next meeting so staff can have the oppormnity to investigate
and analyze the reorganization and allocation of resources at the Port.
Commissioner Herman indicated that this substimte resolution is the exact proposition
that was offered originally. It carried with it a long verbal argument. It is a
M111296.igq -5-
substitute for what is in Item 9A. He urged the Commission to vote on this proposal.
He indicated that there is nothing wrong, damaging or inappropriate of this proposal
since it was what's originally offered.
Commissioner Cook countered that this is not the original resolution. This is the
third change in two Commission meetings. He is not prepared at this time to vote on
it. He believes that a delay is appropriate at this time because this is a major change
from the resolution that is before the Commission. The substimte resolution is a
major change in reorganization of staff. It is inappropriate without due notice to the
public and the Commission. He requested a delay on this item and hear this at the
December meeting.
Commissioner McCarthy indicated that she is unsure if this is a matter of semantics
or a major reorganization. The major difference between the proposed resolution and
the proposal that was on the agenda was this position would report directly to the
Executive Director. The position before was under Tenant and Maritime Services and
reported directly to the Tenant and Maritime Services Director. She asked for
clarification.
Commissioner Herman stated that his proposal is for a Maritime Division. He
mentioned that what the Executive Director offered was cargo manager rather than
maritime director. Mr. Bouey clarified that when he met with the subcommittee, they
indicated that they would like to have a separate division and wanted a director. Mr.
Bouey indicated that the position of Director would have to be approved by Civil
Service. Traditionally, at the Airport, Port, DPW, there are four deputy directors.
The Port would be adding a fifth which would mean Civil Service approval. The Port
might have to eliminate another position which will then have an impact on the
organization. He suggested to the subcommittee that he would contact Civil Service
to get a fifth deputy director position. Subsequent to that conversation, the
subcommittee came back and indicated that they decided to have a manager, reporting
directly to the executive director and head up the cargo division. Mr. Bouey
concluded that staff will support whatever the Commission wants to do.
After further discussion, Mr. Bouey suggested thai first thing in the morning, staff
will contact Civil Service and bring back to the Commission its findings.
Commissioner Lee commented that he respects and appreciates Commissioners
Hardeman and McCarthy for chairing the subcommittee. However, since Mr. Bouey
is leaving, he commented that the Commission should wait until the new executive
director is on board. He suggested meeting with the new executive director to
express what the Commission wants. He stated that the Director manages the Port,
not the Commission. Commissioner Herman disagreed.
In response to Commissioner Lee's inquiry of the Commission's role, Legal Counsel
Julie Van Nostern stated that the role of the Commission is to set policies. The role
of the Commission is not to direct the day-to-day functions of the Port or to set up
administration. It's the Commission's job to set policy; it's the Commission's job to
M111296.igq -6-
tell the Director what its goals are. If the Commission is not happy with how it is
being administered, the Commission has recourse. However, there are provisions in
the Charter that provide for repercussions to Commissioners interfering with the
charges of the Director. She added that what is happening here is a little unique
because there is an issue whether or not the Commission is going over the line in
terms of actually running the day-to-day functions of the Port. The Burton Act,
which is implemented under the Charter, sets out the management responsibilities of
the Director and the responsibilities of the Commission. The fact that the Director
was willing to sit down and consider what the reorganization would be and how it
would be implemented is his prerogative. Ms. Van Nostem indicated that if she was
asked if it is the Commission's responsibility to manage the Port, she would
respectfully say no. That would be considered interference. She added that it does
not mean that the Commission does not have a role; it does not mean that the
Commission does not have authority and that it cannot oversee the Director. If the
Commission is not happy with the Director, it can choose to remove the Director.
Commissioner Herman requested a copy of the Charter covering the rules, duties and
obligations of the Director. Ms. Van Nostem replied that a copy will be provided to
the Commission.
Commissioner Lee urged the Commission to take this reorganization seriously. He is
all for maritime, all for cargo but, according to the Charter, the Commission is not to
micro manage the day-to-day business of the Port. He suggested delaying this item
until the new executive director is on board.
Commissioner McCarthy commented that she is concerned that the process of finding
another Port Director may take a great deal of time.
Mr. Bouey commented that he respects the institution of the Commission, its
relationship to the Mayor and the citizens of San Francisco. In deference to the
Commission, he will assist the Commission in what they want to achieve.
ACTION: Commissioner McCarthy moved approval to put this item over to the
next meeting; Commissioner Cook seconded the motion. Four of the
Commissioners were in favor; Commissioner Herman cast the dissenting
vote.
4. LEGISLATIVE
5. TENANT & MARITIME SERVICES
A. Approval of lease with FlickaJMcGurrin,_dbaJgier 23 Cafe, at JPier 23 , and approval
of amendment to BCDCJPermitj^,a_M28JJQNifQrJhe creatiQJi_and dedication of
public access adjaceiit_tQJhe^eiL21,Cafe^_(ResolutioiiJSkL_96J.21)
Mr. Bouey stated that this proposed lease is a result of a new policy put in place by
this Commission a few years ago to allow a great many of our retail tenants who have
M111296.igq -7-
been operating on a month-to-month to get some permanence so that they could run
their businesses in a more businesslike way. In 1994, the Port granted Pier 23 a lease
which expires in April 1997. The existing premises are about 4300 sq. ft. 1400 of
which are inside the restaurant. The current monthly base rent is $5600 versus a 7%
percentage rent. Last year. Pier 23 grossed sales of $2.3 million. Through all the
problems of the Embarcadero and the roadway work, Ms. McGurrin's increased her
business ten fold. The policy for retail businesses reaffirms the Port's commitment to
foster and encourage ftill and equitable opportunities for leasing retail sites on the
waterfront. The policy does allow for the direct negotiation of a lease with an
existing tenant provided they meet the following criteria: (1) tenant is in good
standing; (2) tenant has a sound business plan; (3) the tenancy is in the best economic
interest of the Port; (4) the tenant has a good record of affirmative action. With
regard to these four criteria, Flicka McGurrin has a consistent history of compliance
with all obligations of its lease. With regard to sound business plan, she increased
her business ten fold, an indication of her ability and sound assessment as a
businesswoman and as well, she plans to invest a total of $200,000 into the premises.
With regard to the Port's best economic interest, Pier 23 is one of the best and most
consistently performing restaurants not only on Port property but in San Francisco.
With regard to affirmative action, Ms. McGurrin has a wonderful affirmative action
record and is also a certified WBE. There are certain required improvements which
require a BCDC permit which the Port will co-sign. With regard to the terms of the
proposed lease, the building and the outdoor dining area is 4385 feet. The term will
be ten years. There are three phases of improvements and if they are not concluded
in the allotted time, the Port has the right to terminate the lease. The initial base rent
is almost $11,000 a month. As well, she's agreed to pay 7% of all gross receipts and
agreed to maintain the premises including the public access area.
ACTION: Commissioner McCarthy moved approval; Commissioner Lee seconded
the motion. All of the Commissioners were in favor; the resolution was
adopted.
B . Appro vaLQfjnQntlttOjjnQnthlea&ejwithIoshuaJPjyor,^dba China^asin Charter/Ruby
Sailing, at_PierJ23._^esolutiQnJ^Ii3_9ji-.122)
Mr. Bouey stated that adjacent to the Pier 23 lease is another lease for the Ruby
Sailing, which currently berths at the Ramp Restaurant. Mr. Pryor desires to operate
the Ruby at Pier 23. The proposed facility will be constructed at Mr. Pryor's sole
cost and expense. It includes a 60 ft. float and a handicap accessible ramp. It will
require a BCDC permit. Port Commission is required because this use is not
included in the leasing parameters. On October 28, 1992, the Commission approved
the policy for accommodating additional excursion boats at the Port. However, that
policy identified Piers 3 and 9 as the suitable interim location for accommodating
excursion vessel facility. This lease includes 1692 sq. ft. of water space and 84 sq.
ft. of wharf space. The term is month-to-month. The use will be for excursion
landing. The initial base rent is for $400. The percentage rent is 6% and the tenant
is responsible for maintenance to the premises. The tenant improvement is estimated
at $75,000. The removable improvements such as the float will remain the personal
M111296.igq -8-
property of the tenant if the Port should tenninate its month-to-month lease.
ACTION: Commissioner Cook moved approval; Commissioner Lee seconded the
motion. All of the Commissioners were in favor; the resolution was
adopted.
6. FACILITIES & OPERATIONS
A. Public Hearing on the intention to issue permits to relocate and install .T.C. Decaux
Public wService/Advertising Kiosks on the south side of Jefferson Street between Hyde
and T^aven worth Streets, and on Ihe north side of Jefferson Street between Mason
tionJNo.
Mr. Bouey stated that at the September 24 Commission meeting, two locations for the
kiosks were identified and discussed. After listening to numerous speakers, staff
agreed to find alternative locations. Staff proposes that the Mason and Jefferson
Streets location be moved to north side of Jefferson Street, east of Mason and the
Jefferson and Hyde Street location be moved to the south side of Jefferson Street,
between Hyde and Leavenworth Streets, in front of the entrance to the Cannery
courtyard. Notices were provided to all Port tenants immediately adjacent to the new
locations and within the 150-foot radius.
ACTION: Commissioner Cook moved approval; Commissioner Lee seconded the
motion. All of the Commissioners were in favor; the resolution was
adopted.
B. Authorization to issue Request For Proposals (RFP) for design services for the
berthing facilities and dredgingJbiLthe Hyde Street Fishing Harbor ._ (Resolution No.
96-120)
Mr. Bouey stated that the Commission approved a professional services contract for
the preparation of an EIR for the Hyde Street Fishing Harbor project in September
1994. Work began on the EIR on January 1995, and is anticipated to be certified in
December 1996 and no action on the project will be taken until after the EIR is
certified. However, staff would like to move ahead with the project which consists of
three main improvements: (1) construction of landside improvements, (2) dredging,
(3) and the construction of sixty berthing facilities. The primary vessels to be docked
will be commercial fishing boats. The proposed RFP will solicit proposals for
outside professional design services for the berthing facilities and dredging
components.
In response to Commissioner McCarthy's inquiry about the responsibility of
overseeing the landside improvements, Mr. Bouey replied that the Port will assign a
project manager to work with DPW. The Port will purchase design services from
DPW for those portions of the project.
ACTION: Commissioner Cook moved approval; Commissioner McCarthy
M111296.igq -9-
seconded the motion. All of the Commissioners were in favor; the
resolution was adopted.
C. Authorization to accept the work for Construction Contract No. 259:
Farthquake Repair Project, Pier and Buildings Repair" (Resolutii
Mr. Bouey stated that the work at Pier 45 is completed. The original contract amount
was $9.4 million and provided for contingency of approximately $281,000.
Approximately a year later, staff requested that the Commission approved an
additional $265,468, which increased the contract amount to $9,945,151. Staff is
requesting Commission to accept the work for the price of $9,929,000 (about $17,000
less than anticipated). At the same time, the contractor has agreed to release all
claims, except one in which he believes he is entitled to $34,000; staff requests the
authority to settle that claim.
Commissioner Herman wondered why the Port is paying the contractor $34,000, if he
is not entitled to it. Mr. Bouey clarified that the Port will not give him $34,000. The
contractor put in a claim for $34,000, staff believes he is entitled to something but not
that entire amount.
ACTION: Commissioner Cook moved approval; Commissioner Lee seconded the
motion. Four of the Commissioners were in favor; Commissioner
Herman cast the dissenting vote. The resolution was adopted.
7. FLAPPING & DEVELOPMENT
A . Presentation on Wireless Telecommunications Services Facilities Siting Guidelines.
(Information Only)
Mr. Bouey stated that the City's Planning Department has spent some time analyzing
wireless telecommunications services. The Port would like to mirror, where
appropriate, the City's policy on this issue. A wireless telecommunications policy
will be presented to the Commission in December or January for its adoption. He
then introduced Susanna Montanri from the Planning Department.
Ms. Montana presented the Planning Department's recommended guidelines. She
stated that the Planning Department has had zoning regulations which regulated
wireless telecommunication facilities since they adopted their first zoning regulations.
The Planning Commission developed siting criteria, facilities guidelines and
conditions of approval. The zoning rules require a conditional use application for
each carrier's set of antennas for each location. The Port issues its own permit as well
as the Redevelopment Agency but do not have a conditional use process. The
Planning Commission requested staff to present its guidelines to the Port Commission
and Redevelopment Commission for their consideration and adoption of the conditions
of approval. They believe that a monitoring process for the radio frequency and the
electro magnetic radiation needs to be established. The Planning Commission
requests that each Commission establish as a condition of permit approval that there
M111296.igq
-10-
be a pre-installation reading report. The report will then go to the Health Department
to make sure it meets FCC Health & Safety standards. Once the installation is
installed and operational, the Planning Commission requires another report and every
two years thereafter to ensure they are meeting the FCC Standards. The Planning
Commission and the Board of Supervisors have requested that the highest preference
for siting of these facilities be on public buildings. When the Port Commission issues
permits, the Planning Commission also requests the address, name of the carriers and
number of antennas of the carriers so they could map them on their map info system,
a city wide inventory, because the public wants a report every year to find out how
many antennas are going up.
In response to Commissioner McCarthy's inquiry about the appearance and size of the
antennas, Ms. Montana responded that in suburban areas, they are usually towers or
flag poles. In San Francisco, it is a panel antenna which is about 4 feet by 6 inches
by 4 inches that looks like a fluorescent light ballast that is attached to the buildings,
painted the same color of the building. In some cases, they are on a little pole (7 feet
tall on top of a roof).
Commissioner Lee inquired about the equipment when installing the antennas. Ms.
Montana replied that there is a base transceiver unit which is usually located in the
basement or the garage area.
Ms. Montana added that they encourage all City departments to develop a streamline
permit process because they would like to have the installations be placed on City
properties. The market rent for each of these installations is about $1500 a month, 30
year lease. City-owned buildings appear to be less obtrusive.
Lynn Bunim, from Pacific Telesis, stated that she is pleased with the guidelines that
have been developed. For almost a year, there has been a lot of community
discussion in the development of these guidelines. It is their hope and intention to
return in December to propose two sites they would like to obtain leases and move
forward. She offered the Commission an opportunity to view the sites of their
antennas. It is their objective to make it as unobtrusive as possible. One of the issues
they've looked at very carefully is there is an economic benefit to San Francisco for
having this technology.
John Newman, counsel for Pacific Bell mobile services, reiterated Ms. Bunim 's
comments that they welcome the opportunity the Commissioners, staff and counsel
the proposed locations. They are working with Port staff regarding the two locations
(Pier 39 and Pier 22-1/2) under consideration.
In response to Commissioner McCarthy's inquiry about rent generated from the Pier
39 location, Mr. Bouey replied that staff will have to negotiate rent because the site is
within their leasehold but is not a permitted use under their current lease. Since this
is a new use, staff will negotiate a new rent structure.
Ms. Montana added that with the permit, the Port can establish a fee system whereby
M111296.igq -H"
time and materials can be charged, which the carriers pay, for the work that the
Health Department does for the Port.
B. Resnlution authorizing the Rxecutive Director to execute BCDC Permit No. 5-96
(Pier 3 S Maritime Recreation Tenter Tnr ) inrlnding the creation and dedication of
public access areas. (Resolution No Q6-1 15)
Mr. Bouey stated that the Commission previously approved a lease for the Maritime
Recreation Center which offers dry boat storage, public boat launching, etc. The lease
was also approved by the Board of Supervisors. A month ago, BCDC voted
unanimously to issue a permit which includes public access area. Because the Port
controls these properties, we are designated as a co-permittee. The site plan shows
the location of the public access areas required as part of the project, which include
approximately 22,859 square feet of public access around the perimeter of the pier.
Resolution No. 96-115 would authorize the Executive Director to enter into BCDC
Permit No. 5-96 which includes special conditions requiring the creation, dedication
and maintenance of permanent public access areas.
ACTION: Commissioner Cook moved approval; Conmiissioner Lee seconded the
motion. All of the Commissioners were in favor; the resolution was
adopted.

11. NEW BUSINESS / PUBLIC COMMENT
Patsy Love, stated that she has been a Port employee 23 years. Fifteen of those years, she
has received harassment from Mr. Kutnick because she refused to tell a lie for him and
advised another employee to tell the truth. This harassment has become more severe since
Mr. Kutnick became Director of the department. She has informed the Human Resources
Mlli:96.igq -12-
department and the deputy director about this harassment but it has continued to the point
that she is now under the doctor's care and making her life very difficult. She requested
the Commission to conduct an investigation regarding this matter. Mr. Bouey indicated
that he will have the Personnel Director look into these issues.
Theresa Koller, Street Artists, asked for the Commission's assistance. About 15 months
ago, the Art Commission directed Kathy Hallinan and herself to represent the Street
Artists to regain the use of J8 and J9. Over the last 15 months, she has written numerous
letters to the Port but has only gotten a few replies. She'd like to get this matter resolved.
Mr. Bouey replied that most of Ms. Roller's correspondence did not warrant a response.
He had asked Mr. Bennett to set up a meeting with Mr. Lazar two and a half weeks ago.
Mr. Bouey has looked at the J8 & J9 issue for a couple of months and will discuss it at the
meeting with Mr. Lazar and Ms. Koller. Commissioner McCarthy requested a
clarification of the matter. Mr. Bouey replied that the Commission previously approved a
number of locations for the street artists but did not approve J8 and J9 because there is a
provision that allows the Commission to exempt certain locations with doors. However,
the Commission can waive this provision and locate street artists on those locations. The
Commission requested staff to look at J8 & J9 and return to the Commission with a
recommendation.
Mr. Edward Lortz stated that he's lived in San Francisco 20 years, not affiliated with any
organized group, has been in the maritime industry over 30 years and involved in the
operation, maintenance, design and construction. He stated that San Francisco is never
going to be a major container Port. We can go after niche cargo, passenger and cruise
lines, fishing, ship repair, ferries and commercial. The Commission is working on a
proposal to create a cargo department and will also be looking for a new director. In the
1950's and 1940's, cargo was 80% of this port. In the ftiture, with that container cargo,
cargo and ship repair are never going to be more than 20 or 30% of this Port. To set up a
cargo department does not make any sense.

SUBJECT: Approval of Annual Payment Agreement Between the Port
Commission and the City and County of San Francisco, Regarding Payment of
Parking Violation Fine Revenues by City to Port
DIRECTOR'S RECOMMENDATION: AUTHORIZE APPROVAL OF THE
ANNUAL PAYMENT AGREEMENT
BACKGROUND
The Port currently has approximately 1 ,000 parking meters on its property from which it
charges and collects parking meter revenues. Between the time that the Port acquired
jurisdiction over the Port property and around 1975, the Port's police officers enforced
parking violations on Port property and the Port also received revenue from fines issued for
parking violations.
Pursuant to the Burton Act and the Transfer Agreement, the Port is allowed to retain the City
to perform services on its behalf. Around 1975, the City took over parking enforcement
functions on Port property, with the Port's consent. Since that time, all fine revenues
generated by parking violations on Port property have been administered, collected and
retained solely by the City.
Between 1975 and December 31, 1993, the Port did not reimburse the City for providing its
parking enforcement acfivities on Port property and the City retained all revenues paid by
THIS PRINT COVERS CALENDAR ITEM NO. 3B
i
i
Page 2
parking violators on Port property. Beginning January 1, 1994, the Port has paid the City an
annual administrative fee of approximately $250,000 for performing this service. However,
the City and the Port acknowledge that the charges incurred by the City in performing
parking enforcement services on Port property are less than the total amount of parking fine
revenues received by the City since 1975 and that some portion of the revenues previously
collected is owed to the Port pursuant to the Burton Act and the Transfer Agreement.
However, the City does not retain data regarding the number of parking citations issued or
the amount of parking fine revenues collected on Port property. Consequently, neither the
Port nor the City have an accurate measure of the amount of parking fine revenues generated
by violators on Port property and retained by the City. Both the City and the Port agree that
it would be extremely difficult or even impossible to calculate the actual amount.
PROPOSED ANNUAL PAYMENT AGREEMENT
The Port and the City intend to enter into an Annual Payment Agreement to resolve the
issues regarding (1) amounts owed to the Port fi-om parking fine revenues collected and
retained by the City and (2) amounts owed to the City for previously unreimbursed City
services. As part of such resolution, the Aimual Payment Agreement will set forth a
payment arrangement for both past and future amounts. The term of the Aimual Payment
Agreement will commence with its execution by the Commission and the Board of
Supervisors and will expire on June 30, 2017.
Reimbursement for Past Parking Fine Revenues
Within 30 days following approval of the Annual Payment Agreement by the Port's
Commission and the City's Board of Supervisors, which ever is later, the City shall pay the
Port $1,200,000 (the "Reimbursement Amount") for a portion of the Port's share of past
parking fine revenues.
Guaranteed Annual Payment Amount
As part of the resolution of past parking fine revenues, and in payment of the Port's share of
ongoing collections, the Annual Payment Agreement will provide that the City pay the Port
$1,200,000 annually through June 30, 2017 (the "Guaranteed Annual Payment").
The Guaranteed Annual Payment is payable in monthly installments due on the first day of
each month commencing on July 1, 1997. Upon termination of the Annual Payment
Agreement (either upon expiration of the term or at the Port's discretion), the City's
responsibility for the Guaranteed Annual Payment will cease and revenues fi"om parking
citations attributable to parking spaces on Port property will be received by the Port in
amounts equal to actual ticket collections or as otherwise required by law. To the extent that
the City continues to provide enforcement services on the Port's behalf, the Port will
continue to reimburse the City for its actual administrative costs.

ANNUAL PAYMENT AGREEMENT
TfflS ANNUAL PAYMENT AGREEMENT is entered into as of
, 1996, by and between the City and County of San Francisco ("City"),
acting by and through the Board of Supervisors, and the San Francisco Port Commission
("Port").
RECITALS
A. The Port was established by the City pursuant to the Burton Act (Stats. 1968, ch. 1333)
and Transfer Agreement, dated January 24, 1969. Under the Burton Act and Transfer
Agreement, the State transferred its interest in San Francisco's tidelands to the City and County
of San Francisco. The Port holds the property as trustee of the public trust for navigation,
commerce and fisheries.
B. Section 4 of the Burton Act and Section V of the Transfer Agreement require all
revenues generated on trust property to be deposited into a trust fund for the Port's benefit.
Revenues fi'om parking citations attributable to parking spaces on Port property belong to the
Port.
C. Section VI of the Transfer Agreement allows the City to undertake all or part of the
services performed by the Port if economies will result therefi-om. The Transfer Agreement also
provides that the Port is not required to contribute to City services to the extent such contribution
will result in expenditures greater than those required.
D. The Port currently has approximately 1000 parking meters on its property. Between
the time that the Port acquired jurisdiction over the Port property and around 1975, the Port's
police officers enforced parking violations on Port property, and the Port received the revenues
fi'om parking fines. Around 1975, the City took over parking enforcement fiinctions on Port
property, with the Port's consent, consistent with the Transfer Agreement. Since that time, all
revenues derived fi'om parking fines fi'om use of Port property have been collected and retained
by the City.
E. Between 1975 and January 1, 1994, the Port did not reimburse the City for the parking
enforcement activities on Port property. Since January 1, 1994, the Port has paid the City an
annual administrative fee of approximately $250,000 for this service. The City and Port
acknowledge that the charges incurred by the City in performing parking enforcement services on
Port property are less than the total amount of parking fine revenues received by the City since
1975.
F. The City has not retained data regarding the number of parking citations issued or
parking fine revenues collected on Port property. Consequently, the parties do not have an
accurate measure of the amount of parking revenues received by the City attributable to Port
property over the years. It would be extremely difficult or impossible to calculate the actual
amount.
G. The parties intend to enter into this Agreement to resolve the issues regarding the
parking fine revenues and unreimbursed City services in the past, and, as part of such resolution,
to set forth a payment arrangement for both past and future revenues, subject to the terms of this |
Agreement. Upon termination of this Agreement and pursuant to the Burton Act and the Transfer j ^
Agreement, or as governed by applicable law then in effect, the Port will retain the use and
control of all revenues fi-om parking citations attributable to parkmg spaces on Port property for
the benefit of the public trust subject to the reimbursement of the City for its actual administrative
costs if the City elects to provide such services.
AGREEMENT
1. Effective Date. The Effective Date of this Agreement is .
2. Term. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall
terminate on June 30, 2017, unless earlier terminated in accordance with Section 5 of this
Agreement.
3. Reimbursement for Past Parking Fine Revenues. Within 30 days following approval of
this Agreement by the Port's Commission and the City's Board of Supervisors, which ever is
later, the City shall pay the Port $1,200,000 (the "Reimbursement Amount") for past parking fine
revenues. The parties agree that this amount, together with the City's commitment to make
Guaranteed Annual Payments (as defined in Section 4) for the term hereof, regardless of whether
actual ticket collections are less than such sum, represents payment in fiiU for the City's obligation
to pay the Port parking fine revenues that accrued prior to the Effective Date, less those
unreimbursed costs previously incurred by the City in administering the parking violation ticketing
and fines on Port property.
4. Pavment of Future Parking Fine Revenues.
a. Guaranteed Annual Payment Amount. As part of the resolution of past parking
fine revenues, the parties have agreed that the City shall pay to the Port a specified amount
annually for the term of this agreement (the "Guaranteed Annual Payment") as payment for
parking meter fine revenues collected by the City.
Based on a survey by the Department of Parking and Traffic, the parties have agreed that
approximately $1,200,000 in parking meter fines are collected on Port property annually. The
parties acknowledge that this sum has been agreed upon as the parties' estimate of parking
revenues that would be collected by the City annually during the term hereof
The Guaranteed Annual Payment is payable in monthly installments due on the first day of each
month. Subject to Section 5 hereof, payment of the Guaranteed Annual Payment will commence
on July 1, 1997, and continue for the term of this Agreement. Upon termination of this
Agreement, City's responsibility for the Guaranteed Annual Payment will cease and revenues from
parking citations attributable to parking spaces on Port property will be (i) received by the Port in
amounts equal to actual ticket collections less actual admmistrative costs if the Burton Act and
Transfer Agreement then require or (ii) governed by applicable law then in effect.
b. Records. The City will attempt to implement a reasonable record keeping
mechanism and make such records available to Port.
c. Annual Administrative Fee. During the term of this Agreement, the Port will
have an annual obligation to pay the City's actual administrative fees for the City's enforcement
and processing of parking violations on Port property subject to the Port's reasonable approval
and verification of such costs.
d. Payment of Future Undedicated Parking Fine Increases. If on or after the
Effective Date the City increases the parking fines above the amounts existing as of the Effective
Date (as shown on Exhibit 1 attached hereto), then to the extent that such increase is not
dedicated to the State for State purposes or any other purpose mandated by the State, the
Guaranteed Annual Payment to the Port shall be increased by the incremental increase in parking
fines actually collected on Port property as of the effective date of the increase.
5. Performance of Services by Port. Port, at any time, may, upon 180 days prior written
notice to City, undertake ticketing and enforcement of parking violations on Port property. If
Port discontinues using City's services and collects parking fine revenues itself. City's Guaranteed
Annual Payment obligations under Section 4 above and Port's reimbursement obligation for
services will cease as of the date the Port assumes such function. Any sums paid shall be prorated
as of the date that Port assumes such function.
6. City Policy to Support Public Transit. In 1993, the City adopted a policy (Section
18. 103 of the Charter) to support public transit, and to set aside parking related revenue for
public transportation purposes. City and Port hereby acknowledge that such policy is not
intended to apply to revenues realized from those fines, forfeited bail, or penalties that are
generated from parking violations on Port property, and that the disposition of those revenues
from Port property will be governed by applicable law then in effect.
7. Purpose and Effect. The parties intend to hereby resolve a dispute arising out of
the City's collection of parking fine revenues from Port property before the Effective Date.
Accordingly, the parties hereby fully release and discharge the other from any and all claims,
obligations, costs, losses, and expenses of every description, known or unknown, as of or prior to
the Effective Date of this Agreement, relating to parking fine revenues collected by the City from
Port property and parking violation services provided by the City; provided, however, that the
resolution of this dispute is conditioned upon receipt of the Reimbursement Payment and
Guaranteed Annual Payment for the term and in accordance with all provisions of this Agreement.

SUBJECT: Revision of Resolution 96-112, Harbor Traffic Code Amendment
Regarding Restrictions on Outdoor Signs
DIRECTOR'S RECOMMENDATION: APPROVE RESOLUTION.
On November 12, 1996 the Port Commission passed Resolution 96-112 amending the
Harbor Traffic Code ("Code") to regulate outdoor signs and advertisements on Bay waters
within the Port's jurisdiction.
At the Commission meeting various commissioners expressed concern with the exemption
of waterbome vessels being used primarily to transport passengers or goods. The intent
in exempting vessels used primarily for the transportation of passengers or goods was to
permit advertising on ferry boats, excursion boats, passenger ships, cargo ships and
similar vessels where such advertising is common. However, upon further review it was
found that this advertising is usually located in the interior spaces of the vessel.
Moreover, advertising on the outside of these vessels is not distinguishable from
objectionable outdoor signs on barges and other vessels. Accordingly, banning all
outdoor signs and advertising will not limit this unobjectionable interior activity. Second,
a concern was expressed that racing sailboats be able to continue to display names and
logos on their sails. Names and logos are frequently used on racing sails to help fund the
activity. Accordingly, it is appropriate to exempt signs on sails of racing sailboats.
To address these concerns staff recommends revising the prohibition to delete the
exemption for vessels used primarily for the transportation of passengers or goods and to
exempt signs on sails of racing sailboats.

PORT COMMISSION
CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO
REVISED RESOLUTION NO. 96-112
WHEREAS, Section B 3.581 of the City Charter empowers the Port Commission of San Francisco
(the "Commission") with the power and duty to use, conduct, operate, maintain,
manage, regulate and control the Port area of San Francisco; and
WHEREAS, recently, a tug and barge was employed for the purpose of displaying a very large
advertisement on the bay. The Port Director, along with the San Francisco Board of
Supervisors, various other agencies, the media and private individuals expressed
concern about this use. Issues that arise from this activity include visual pollution
caused by such signs and the threat posed to the safety of vehicular and pedestrian
traffic which may be distracted by the signs which are visible from adjacent roadways
and highways; and
WHEREAS, to address this activity on Port waters, the Commission on November 12, 1996
amended the Port Harbor Code to prohibit outdoor signs and advertisements on all
waterbome vessels, including, but not limited to motorized, towed or sailing vessels of
any kind, such as ships, boats, tugboats, barges and sailboats, unless the waterbome
vessel is being used primarily to transport passengers or goods; and
WHEREAS, at the November 12, 1996 hearing concerns were raised about (I) the exemption for
vessels used primarily to transport passengers or goods, and (2) adversely impacting
sailboat racing by banning signs and logos on sails of racing sailboats and,
WHEREAS, the Commission wants to address these two concerns and, now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, that the Harbor Traffic Code is hereby amended as follows:
Article 13, is hereby revised as follows:
Article 13. Outdoor Signs and Advertising on Vessels Prohibited on Port
Waters
100. No person may exhibit, post or carry any banner, placard, poster, card,
picture, sign or advertising display, except for (1) permanently affixed logos
and names on vessel hulls, or (2) logos and names on sails of racing sailboats
actually engaged in competition sponsored by a recognized yacht club, on the
outside of any waterbome vessel of any kind, including but not limited to
motorized, towed or sailing vessels such as ships, boats, tugboats, barges, and
sailboats of any size, on any waters within the jurisdiction of the San Francisco
Port Commission.
/ hereby certify that the foregoing resolution was adopted by the Port Commission at its meeting of
December 10, 1996.

SUBJECT: Approval of relocation of two street artist spaces on Port property along the south
side of Jefferson Street between Jones and Hyde Streets
DIRECTOR'S RECOMMENDATION: APPROVE RELOCATION OF STREET ARTIST
SPACES
In 1975 the San Francisco voters approved Proposition L which allows certified street artists to
sell arts and crafts in designated spaces on public sidewalks, and pursuant to this proposition, the
Board of Supervisors adopted a comprehensive Street Artist Ordinance ("Ordinance") in 1983,
as Article 24 of the San Francisco Police Code. Among its provisions, this Ordinance provides
that the designation of any street artist spaces in public places under the jurisdiction of a
commission, such as the Port Commission, is subject to the approval of that commission. As a
part of its approval of street artist spaces diroughout the City, the Board of Supervisors designated
15 street artist spaces on Port property along Jefferson Street at Fisherman's Wharf (which were
identified as spaces J-1 through J- 15). However, the Port Commission did not at that time
approve these street artist spaces on Port property.
One of the regulations of the Ordinance is that street artist spaces shall not be located within 12
feet of an outer edge of an entrance to a building. In 1994 a tenant of the Cannery installed a
second door in its store front which was located within 12 feet of two existing street artist spaces
~ J-8 and J-9. The Street Artists Program was therefore requested to abandon these two spaces
because they violated Section 2405(c)(6) of the Ordinance, and the Street Artists Program

i
Agenda Item No. 5 A

Page 2
complied with this request. However, according to the Street Artist Liaison Committee, spaces
J-8 and J-9 were among the most desirable in the Street Artists Program, and the Street Artist
Liaison Committee petitioned the Port to permit the use of these two spaces.
In 1995 Port staff reviewed the Ordinance and the street artist spaces on Port property and
recommended to the Port Commission that it adopt the provisions of the Ordinance, conditioned
upon some additional restrictions. Port staff also recommended that the Port Commission approve
the existing street artist spaces on Port property, but that it not approve spaces J-8 and J-9. Port
staff recommended that the Port Commission instead approve two new street artist spaces, J-IA
and J-IB, located further west on Jefferson Street from spaces J-8 and J-9. On June 27, 1995 (by
Resolution No. 95-56), the Port Commission approved Port staff's recommendation. However,
the Port Commission also directed staff to restudy spaces J-8 and J-9 and to make
recommendations to the Commission in the future as to these spaces or possible alternative
locations.
Since that approval, the Street Artist Liaison Committee has repeatedly requested that the Port
Commission reinstate street artist spaces J-8 and J-9, maintaining that spaces J-IA and J- IB are
inferior to spaces J-8 and J-9. Port staff has reviewed this request, and has determined that the
reinstatement of spaces J-8 and J-9 would not interfere with the ingress and egress from the new
door to the retail store in the Cannery. It is a secondary door for this retail store, and it is unused
much of the time. Likewise, Port staff has determined that spaces J-5, J-6 and J-7, which were
approved by the Port Commission in 1995, do not restrict ingress and egress mto the large entry
to the courtyard of the Cannery. Port staff therefore recommends that the Port Commission
exempt street artist spaces J-5, J-6, J-7, J-8 and J-9 from the restrictions of Section 2405(c)(6) of
the Ordinance. Port staff further recommends that the Port Commission reinstate spaces J-7 and
J-8 and eliminate spaces J-IA and J- IB.

CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO
RESOLUTION NO. 96-125
Charter Section B3.581 empowers the Port Commission with the power and
duty to use, conduct, operate, maintain, manage, regulate and control the Port
area of San Francisco; and
in 1983 the San Francisco Board of Supervisors adopted a comprehensive
Street Artist Ordinance as Article 24 of the San Francisco Police Code (the
"Ordinance"), which established a self-supporting Street Artists Program for
certified street artists; and
the Board of Supervisors approved street artist spaces J-1 through J- 15 on Port
property along Jefferson Street at Fisherman's Wharf; and
street artist spaces J-8 and J-9 are located within 12 feet of the outer edge of
a new secondary doorway installed by one of the tenants of the Cannery, and
are therefore in violation of Section 2405(c)(6) of the Ordinance; and
street artist spaces J-5, J-6, and J-7 could be construed to conflict with the
restrictions of Section 2405(c)(6) of the Ordinance; and
the Port Commission by Resolution 95-56 adopted the Ordinance, subject to
certain further restrictions, and approved certain street artists spaces on Port
property, but not spaces J-8 and J-9; now, therefore, be it
that the Port Commission hereby exempts spaces J-5, J-6, J-7, J-8 and J-9 from
Section 2405(c)(6) of the Ordinance, and finds that such exemptions are not
inconsistent with or interfere with the purpose of the regulation from which
these areas are exempted; and be it further
that the Port Commission hereby approves the location of street artist spaces
J-8 and J-9 on Port property, as shown on Exhibit 1 attached hereto, and be it
further
that the Port Commission hereby approves elimination of street artist spaces J-
lA and J- IB, as shown on Exhibit 1 attached hereto.

SUBJECT: Informational briefing on the Fisherman's Wharf Environmental Quality
Advisory Committee
DIRECTOR'S RECOMMENDATION: No action requested; information only
Background: The Fisherman's Wharf Environmental Quality Advisory Committee
(Committee) was formed in July of 1996 to address the longstanding environmental
problems which impact the Fisherman's Wharf/Aquatic Park area such as the oily film
frequently found on the water, garbage in the water, improper disposal offish carcasses, and
odor problems.
In recognition of the fact that environmental problems do not stop at jurisdictional lines, the
Committee, which includes representatives fi"om the fishing industry, area merchants, the
swimming and boating community, and resource agencies, will consider the effects of
pollution sources outside of Fisherman's Wharf, such as the Presidio, nearby marinas and
sewer outfalls, in addition to practices within Fisherman's Wharf The Committee will then
develop recommendations for improving environmental and water quality for the
Fisherman's Wharf area and present those recommendations to the Port Commission and
other relevant agencies.
The members of the Committee represent diverse interests, but they share similar concerns
about the quality of the environment in this area and wish to work toward enhancing it. The
Committee is looking for enduring solutions to the environmental concerns at Fisherman's
Wharf At the same time, the Committee recognizes the importance of sustaining the
historic maritime, fisheries, cultural, business, recreational and community interests of the
area. The formation of this Committee is not directly related to the Hyde Street Harbor
Project, and is contemplated as an ongoing process and not a one-time event.

Architects.
DIRECTOR'S RECOMMENDATION: AUTHORIZE STAFF TO AWARD THE
PROFESSIONAL SERVICES CONTRACT FOR THE "PIER 48 NEW
MAINTENANCE FACILITY" TO KENDALL YOUNG ASSOCIATES/BEVERLY
PRIOR ARCHITECTS ("KYA/BPA"), A JOINT VENTURE
The Commission previously authorized Port staff to issue a Request For Proposals
("RFP") for the design of the New Maintenance Facility at Pier 48. On October 9, 1996,
the Port issued the RFP for architectural/engineering services for this project. On
November 6, 1996, the Port received proposals from 11 consultant teams.
On November 19, 1996, a Port selection panel interviewed and evaluated seven teams.
KYA/BPA received the highest score following completion of the evaluations. All seven
prime firms were either certified MBEs, WBEs, or M/WBE joint venmres, and therefore
all received HRC scoring adjustments. KYA and BPA are certified MBE and WBE firms,
respectively.
Subsequently, the Port met with KYA/BPA to negotiate the fee. The Port and KYA/BPA
agreed to a fee of $765,065.00 to provide the required architectural and engineering
services. This fee includes all services necessary to provide programming, design
development, bid and construction documents, and construction management support.

SUBJECT: Approving a Declaration of Emergency for Contractual Assistance in
Assessing Damages from the Cape Mohican Oil Spill Incident
DIRECTOR'S RECOMMENDATION: APPROVE THE DECLARATION OF AN
EMERGENCY TO ALLOW PORT TO RETAIN CONTRACTUAL ASSISTANCE IN
ASSESSING DAMAGES FROM THE CAPE MOHICAN OIL SPILL INCIDENT
On Monday, October 28, 1996, a ship in drydock No. 2 at the San Francisco Drydock
released approximately 80,000 gallons of a mixture of heavy bunker oil and diesel into the
drydock. An undetermined amount of the oil flowed off of the drydock and into San
Francisco Bay. San Francisco's shoreline received the most damage, with damage
concentrated in the areas nearest the drydock.
The Port assisted the U.S. Coast Guard and the California Department of Fish and Game
Unified Command in assessing impacts of the oil spill on Port and City assets and sensitive
ecological areas. The Port is also documenting the impact of the oil on its facilities and
ecologically sensitive areas.
The Port requires assistance from an outside consultant to respond to this emergency
because neither the Port nor the City currently employs staff with the expertise required to
assess the damages caused by the oil spill. Funds for the emergency contract, estimated to
cost approximately $35,000, are available from the Port Operating Fund.

SUBJECT: Pier 43-1/2 Franciscan Restaurant parking lot, approving a Declaration of
Emergency for consulting assistance to design a parking deck repair scheme
DIRECTOR'S RECOMMENDATION: AUTHORIZE STAFF TO ISSUE AN
EMERGENCY CONTRACT FOR ENGINEERING CONSULTANT TO DEVELOP
CONTRACT DOCUMENTS FOR THE REPAIR OF A FAILED SECTION OF THE PIER
43-1/2 FRANCISCAN RESTAURANT PARKING DECK
Recently a section of the wood-framed Pier 43-1/2 Franciscan Restaurant parking lot,
approximately 2800 square feet in plan, settled substantially. To ensure life safety, the area
was immediately barricaded, an emergency was declared, and a subsequent inspection of the
substructure was conducted. The inspection revealed that piles supporting this area of deck
were afflicted with severe dry-rot and had failed, resulting in the large downward movement.
It is imperative that this deck be repaired as soon as possible, to ensure life safety and to
provide a fully functioning parking lot for the Franciscan Restaurant. Port Staff did not have
the resources to perform the design work at the time of the emergency. Therefore the Port
requested that GKO Engineers, a certified San Francisco MBE engineering firm, prepare
design contract documents for the strucmral repau". GKO has submitted the final construction
documents to the Port and the cost of their design services is $12,955.00. Funds for this
emergency design work are available in the Port's Operating Budget.

The meeting was called to order by Commission President Michael Hardeman at 4:06
p.m. The following Commissioners were present: Michael Hardeman, Frankie Lee,
Preston Cook, James Herman and Denise McCarthy.
2. APPROVAL OF MINUTES - November 12, 1996
ACTION: Commissioner Lee moved approval; Commissioner Herman seconded the
motion. All of the Commissioners were in favor; the minutes of the meeting
were adopted.
' 3. EXECUTIVE
A. Executive Director's Report: Mr. Bouey reported the following:
1) Waterfront Advisory Board Meeting this Thursday, December 12 at 4:30 p.m. in
the Port Commission Room. Of particular note will be the status of the BCDC
discussions.
2) Status of Pier 48 fire - the Fire Department has indicated that the fire is not a
result of arson but rather accidental. They have concluded that the fire was a
result of illegal auto repair work. This type of activity is not a permitted
f use according to the terms of their lease. The current estimated damage is
between $2-$3 million. The Port is covered by its insurance policy with a
$100,000 deductible. The tenant's insurance will cover the Port's deductible and
other damage. With available insurance monies, the relocation of the
maintenance facility to this facility should decrease the amount of capital
necessary to renovate the facility.
3) Christmas Lighting Ceremony at Fisherman's Wharf - Mr. Bouey thanked
Commissioner Michael Hardeman who pitched in for him at the Christmas
Lighting Ceremony at Fisherman's Wharf. The event was well attended and well
put on. This represents yet another marriage between the Port and the
Fisherman's Wharf
4) New Year's Eve - For the third year in a row, the New Year's Eve party will be
held at the waterfront. The party has been highly successftil in the last two years.
5) Hyde Street EIR Hearing - December 12 at 1:30 p.m. at the Planning
A121295.igq/1
Commission. The certification of the Final EIR is expected.
6) The Port's Financial Statement has now been audited. He informed the
Commission that the preluninary numbers submitted, most notably, that the Port
finished the year with a surplus of a little over $4 million was sustained by the
audit.
7) The Annual Report will be out December 20.
8) Special Commission Meeting will be held late next week. A public notice will be
sent out. Major items will be the informational presentation on next year's
budget and to conclude current business before he leaves.
B. Approval of Annual Payment Agreement between the Port Commission and the City
& County of San Francisco regarding payment of Parking Violation Fine Revenues by
City to Port. (Resolution No. 96-127)
Mr. Bouey stated that the Burton Act provides that all revenue should remain at the
Port. When the transition was made from the State to the City, the Port collected the
fees from the fine levied for Parking and Traffic violations but in 1975, that changed.
The City took over not only the enforcement but kept the parking fine revenue. The
amount spent for enforcement is less than the amount of revenue collected. The
matter was brought to the current administration's attention. Through a series of
negotiations, a conclusion was reached, which will be placed before the Budget
Committee tomorrow. The essence of the agreement is the Port will receive a $1 .2
million one-time payment. In addition, the Port will receive a guaranteed payment of
$1 .2 million a year for the next twenty years. It's important to note two things: (1) if
the City should increase traffic fmes, the Port will receive a proportional increase; (2)
there's an element in the agreement that states if the Port elects, in the future, it takes
over enforcement and then would be entitled to all the revenue. Staff feels that the
agreement is fair as written and has no plans to enforce that portion of the agreement.
This is a fair agreement for the City and the Port.
ACTION: Commissioner Cook moved approval; Commissioner McCarthy
seconded the motion. All of the Commissioners were in favor; the
resolution was adopted.
C. Approval of Revision of Resolution No. 96-112, Harbor Traffic Code Amendment
regarding Restrictions on Chitdoor Signs (Revised Resolution 96-112)
Mr. Bouey stated that at the previous Commission meeting, two of the commissioners
expressed concern, with regard to the new Chitdoor Sign Policy, to the exemption of
waterborne vessels being used primarily to transport passengers or goods. The intent
in exempting vessels used primarily for the transportation of passengers or goods was
to permit advertising on ferry boats, excursion boats, passenger ships, cargo ships
and similar vessels where such advertising is common. Upon further review, it was
found that advertising is usually located in the interior spaces of the vessel. As well,
A121096.igq . 2 -

a concern was expressed that racing sailboats be able to continue to display names and
logos on their sails. Staff recommends revising the prohibition to delete the
exemption for vessels used primarily for the transportation of passengers or goods and
to exempt signs on sails of racing sailboats.
ACTION: Commissioner Cook moved approval; Conmiissioner Lee seconded the
motion. All of the Commissioners were in favor; the resolution was
adopted.
4. LEGISLATIVE
5. TENANT & MARITIME SERVICES
A. Approval of relocation of two street artist spaces on Port property along the south
side of Jefferson Street between Jones and Hyde Streets (Resolution No. 96-125)
Mr. Bouey stated that in 1995, staff brought a resolution to the Conrniission for
adoption with regard to the designation of street artists spaces. At contention at that
time were the spaces known as J8 and J9, located directly across from the Cannery.
The street artists felt that these spaces were highly desirable, if not the most desirable
locations on Jefferson Street. A tenant of the Cannery at that time had a door
installed and in accordance with the Board of Supervisors Ordinance the spaces
opposite should not be utilized as street artists locations. After great debate, the
Conamission adopted staff 's recommendation, which did not include J8 and J9. The
Commission, however, directed staff to reevaluate spaces J8 and J9. Staff has
looked at these two locations and met with representatives of the Art Commission and
the Street Artists and concluded that not only are sites J8 and J9 desirable but at the
same time don't believe that they will interfere with the operations of the Cannery.
Staff has gone by this location several times and found that the door is not open and
there is a sign on it directing people to enter the store via another door. This is not
the main entrance nor even the second entrance. After listening to the street artists
requests and looking at how often the door was used staff concluded that it was an
equity and fairness issue. Staff recommends to the Commission to allow the street
artists to use sites J8 and J9 and to ensure that we stay within the 15 spaces allowed.
Staff would delete spaces JIA and JIB. Mr, Bouey recommended that this be tried
for a one year basis and if there is a problem, the Commission could reexamine it at a
future point in time.
ACTION: Conmiissioner Lee moved approval; No one seconded the motion. The
item died for lack of a second.
6. FACILITIES & OPERATIONS
A. Informational briefing on Fisherman's Wharf Environmental Quality Advisory
Committee.
Mr. Bouey stated that about the time of the preliminary hearing on the Hyde Street
A121096.igq . 3 _
Harbor, a number of speakers, expressed some concerns about this new project.
Accordingly, they appealed to the Port and staff felt their concerns justified. At the
same time, staff feU that those concerns extended beyond Fisherman's Wharf and
decided that if we were to find a solution we shouldn't be looking simply to solve the
Hyde Street Harbor problem but to solve the real concerns of those who use the
water. Accordingly, an advisory committee has been formed. Representatives from
the Dolphin Club, South End Rowing Club, Fishing Industry, Merchant Associations,
governmental entities and environmental groups comprise the committee. The Port
agreed to staff the committee and fund appropriate projects as they arise. Staff has
already taken steps to hire a wharfinger to have coverage at night, seven days a week.
Ms. Roberta Jones, Environmental Health & Safety Manager, stated that the
conmiittee represents a diverse group of people. Although the group is very diverse,
they have come together in a spirit of cooperation and motivation and worked
together very well to work on the problems at Fisherman's Wharf. They've looked at
things such as sea lions to sewage outfall. They will be looking carefully at some of
the more technical issues and will retain a consultant to help the committee. They
will also look at potential sources of pollution outside of the Fisherman's Wharf area.
It is their hope to bring before the Commission a set of recommendations for
improving environmental quality at the wharf. Legal Counsel Neil Sekhri has begun
to revise the vessel lease agreement and add stricter environmental protection
language. A new wharfinger will be hired to assist the current wharfinger.
Mr. Bob Miller, Crab Boat Owners Association, commented that this committee has
created a forum to bring the leaders of the various user groups of the wharf area
together to understand each other's problems. Mr. Miller thanked Mr. Bouey for
everything that he has done to bring the fishing community out into the 20th century
onto the 21st century. His leadership, which trickled down to staff, has allowed them
to create positive things in the wharf area not only for the fishing industry but to fish
processors, restauranteurs, merchants and for the people who enjoy the wharf. They
appreciate what he has done and his pro-active stance.
Mr. Aaron Peskin, South End Rowing Club, commented that the group all shared the
same concern about water and environmental quality. He's hopeful that working
together they can make the fisherman's wharf, aquatic park area an outstanding
showcase for the country to see. On behalf of the swimming clubs, he thanked Mr.
Bouey for taking the mitiative for domg something that has been long overdue.
Mr. Tom Creedon, President of Scoma's Restaurant, stated that Mr. Bouey has been
the first Executive Director that recognized there is a fisherman's wharf. He's
grateful that when Mr. Bouey committed himself to creating the committee that he
put in qualified people. Ms. Jones follows through to the letter. He noted that it is
important to have someone on Port staff that has access of all the history. He looks
forward to having Fisherman's Wharf, like the fishing industry, an icon for the coast.
He hopes that the water quality at Fisherman's Wharf would be attractive to the coast
too.

Commissioner Lee, on behalf of the Commission, thanked the committee for their
work.
B. Authorization to award a Professional Services Contract for the "Pier 48 New
Mamtenance Facility" to Kendall Young Associates/Beverly Prior Architects, a Joint
Venhire. (Resolution No. 96-128)
Mr. Bouey stated the Commission previously authorized Port staff to issue an RFP
for the design of the New Maintenance Facility at Pier 48. Staff received proposals
from eleven consultant teams. A Port selection panel interviewed and evaluated seven
teams. KYA/BPA received the highest score following completion of the evaluations.
KYA is a certified MBE and BPA is a WBE firm. Port staff has negotiated a fee of
$765,065 to provide the required architectural and engineering services. The fee
includes all services necessary to provide programming, design development, bid and
construction documents and construction management support. He noted that
subsequent to the fire, staff has inserted another clause in the contract which provides
the Port the capability to downward negotiate the fee to the extent that the insurance
proceeds cover that work that KYA/BPA would otherwise perform.
Commissioner Lee recused himself from voting on this item because his company
does business with Kendall Young Associates.
ACTION: Commissioner Cook moved approval to recuse Conmiissioner Lee from
voting on this item; Commissioner McCarthy seconded the motion.

11. NEW BUSINESS / PUBLIC COMMENT
Commissioner Hardeman stated that he and Commissioner Herman are reviewing resumes
from potential candidates for the Executive Director position.
Bill Fiore, representing Local 101 - United Food & Commercial Workers, stated that in
September a number of fish workers approached the union and asked to be involved in a
union organizing campaign for H&N Fish Company. Subsequent to the attempt of the
workers to try to organize, the company fired two and laid off another 22 employees. The
union has evidence that this is a direct retaliation for the union organization attempt. The
employees are recent immigrants of South America, Guatemala and Mexico. Mr. Fiore
claimed that there are also rampant race and sex discrimination at the plant, which is a
direct violation of Section 29. 1 of the lease that H&N Fish has with the Port. The union
feels that H&N Fish is in direct violation of not only sex but race discrimination. He
cited an example that because they were women they did not become full time workers
and would not get benefits. He noted that this was a practice of the main supervisor. This
company had rampant wage and hourly wage violations as well. Workers were asked to
punch out while they were asked to continue working after they punched out. He urged
the Port to rectify the situation.
Commissioner Herman inquired if charges were filed directly against the company for sex
discrimination, Mr. Fiore replied that they filed National Labor Relations board charges.
One of the employees that was a victim of sex discrimination has gone to FEH but she is
proceeding with a letter to sue. Human Rights Conamission is also involved with Section
29. 1 of this lease. He urged the Commission to step in and ask the tenant to rectify the
situation. Commissioner Herman inquired if charges have been filed with the custodian of
that section of the charter which prohibits the unacceptable conduct. Mr. Fiore stated that
HRC is in the process of filing charges. The Wage and Hour Commission has been
notified of the situation. Their attorneys have been working with the employees and the
board. He requested the Port to get involved with the lease agreement with this tenant.
In response to Commissioner Hardeman's inquiry of whether Port staff has been assigned
to oversee this matter, Mr. Bouey replied that staff has not received a copy of complaints
but have received copies of other correspondence from the union. The two issues are
union organizing and the lack of response from H&N. He stated that the Port has no
authority to interfere with union organization issues. He, however, agreed with the
speaker with regard to the issue of sexual and race discrimination. He stated that if there
is a finding, that could provide a basis for the Port Commission to terminate the lease. It
is his further belief that the Port is not charged with that investigation or that finding. The
charge would be levied with HRC. HRC would conduct an investigation and will, in turn,
notify the union of the results of their investigation. If they felt that they could substantiate
it, the Director makes a finding which then can be appealed by H&N to the HRC
Commission. If that finding were upheld by the HRC Commission, they would forward it
to the Port Commission. The Port Commission would decide what to do with that finding.
Legal Counsel Julie Van Nostern concurred with the Executive Director.
Commissioner McCarthy inquired if the tenants can be put on notice that a complaint has
A121096.igq . 5 .
i
been filed against them. Mr. Bouey replied that he believed they are aware of the
complaint. Conmiissioner Hardeman requested that this item be placed on the next agenda.
Mr. Bouey commented that in order to expedite this matter, he requested that Mr. Fiore
or the appropriate people file the charge with HRC. As soon as HRC make a finding, this
item will be brought back to the Port Commission. Mr. Bouey then introduced Carmen
Smith, an HRC representative, to Mr. Bill Fiore.
Theresa Roller, Street Artist, made the Commission aware that in September 1994, the
street artists lost the J8 and J9 spots. Last June, it was all ready to go through but spaces
JIA and JIB were substituted instead. They looked forward to getting the spaces back as
they have been in the street artists program for 20-23 years. The person in the shoe store
put in a door that was never used. It was under that technicality of the ordinance that the
two spaces were removed. She asked the Conmiission why this item was not open for a
debate. Conmiissioner Hardeman replied that if a motion is not seconded, it is not subject
to a debate.
Kathy Hallinan, Street Artist, stated that she has never seen anything like this happened at
a Conmiission meeting. It appears to her that there was some political maneuvering that
has gone on behind the scenes. She stated that she is disappointed that the Commission
did not take the time to listen to the street artists comments or point of view.
Commissioner McCarthy commented that nobody talked to anyone. She had planned to
vote no on this item because she believes there are too many street artists already.
Nobody has spoken to her and she's also surprised that no one seconded the motion.
Maria Filibus, Street Artist for six years, stated that she's surprised about the
Commission's decision.
Mr. Rosenblum, Street Artist, stated that he does not understand how an item is placed on
the agenda and not discussed. He does not understand how a decision is made before the
meeting.
Commissioner Herman commented that before indicting the Commission about the
democratic rules, they should be aware that this Commission, as all Commissions in the
City, and unions operate according to well-established rules - the Robert Rules of Order.
The Robert Rules of Order govern the conduct of the meeting. When an issue is placed in
front of the assembly, it requires a motion for concurrence and that motion must be
seconded. It is unfair to suggest that Commissioners were approached not to second any
motion in favor of this issue. If one of the Commissioners exercises their democratic
right to second the motion, that is not a plan or scheme, it is part of the democratic
process. Those who decide not to second the motion are exercising their rights. The
Commission heard the recommendation and found things that were objectionable and
decided individually not to second the motion. If you offer a proposal and it needs a
motion for concurrence, it needs to be seconded. If it is not seconded, it automatically
dies. That is the rule, that is the law, the law of parliamentary procedures.
David Campus, Street Artist, stated that the spaces have been there for twenty years and
A121096.igq
were taken away and substituted. He does not see any reason why they can't the spaces
back.
Lisa Kim, Street Artist, stated that jobs are limited. She asked the Commission to
appreciate their art and appreciate their program and give them opportunities to make their
own living.
Danny Markowitz, Street Artist, stated that he too is disappointed with the Commission's
decision not to vote on this item.
Jose Geraldo, Street Artist, stated that he was surprised with the Commissions' decision.
It is their only means of making a living. He urged the Commission to rethink their
decision.
One of the street artists addressed Commissioner McCarthy's comments regarding having
a lot of street artists already. He stated that those are the best spots in the area. He does
not understand the difference of opinion by the Executive Director and the Commission.

SUBJECT: The basic principles of the proposed term sheet between the Giants and the
Port of San Francisco for the Ballpark.
DIRECTOR'S RECOMMENDATION: APPROVE RESOLUTION.
In March of 1996, the voters of the City and County of San Francisco approved
Proposition B which authorized a proposed development on Port property for a new ballpark
on approximately 12.5 acres site in China Basin. As a result, the Port, the Mayor's office,
and the Redevelopment Agency have recently negotiated with the Giants an outline of terms
of a proposed lease (non-binding term sheet).
The term sheet is an important step because it covers a number of basic business
terms of the proposed lease and provides the frame work for the actions the Giants and the
City agencies need to take for the site to be assembled, entitlements to be granted, and
complementary improvements to be financed and built. The proposed term sheet is
acceptable to the Giants and their private lenders, who together are poised to make the
substantial private investment necessary for the development of the new ballpark.
The proposed term sheet is not intended to be and cannot be legally binding on the
parties. The lease agreement and approval actions contemplated by the term sheet remain
subject to environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), as
well as public review and hearings required by law. Only after the environmental review
process has been completed and after all necessary governmental approvals have been
obtained may the City enter into a binding agreements.
THIS PRINT COVERS CALENDAR ITEM NO. 36

Agenda Item No. 3B
December 20, 1996
Page 2
The basic principles of the proposed term sheet may be summarized as follows:
The lease of the ballpark site will be to China Basin Ballpark Company (CBBC).
CBBC is a separate entity established and controlled by the Giants partnership for the
purpose of developing and operating the new ballpark. CBBC will be the borrower
from a lending syndicate of a $140 million private loan for construction of the park,
and CBBC will build the ballpark at its cost. Giants management has assured the City
that the financing to CBBC is in place. Revenues from the ballpark and
complementary improvements will flow to CBBC, including proceeds from the sale of
charter seats, proceeds from the naming rights agreement with Pacific Bell and rent
paid by the Giants franchise under a sublease with CBBC.
The lease is for a term of 25 years from delivery of the site to CBBC, which is
anticipated to occur in late summer or fall of 1997. The initial lease term corresponds
to 23 seasons of baseball at the new park. The lease potentially could continue for a
total of 66 years from site delivery, consistent with the limitations on tidelands trust
property under the Burton Act. The lease would include successive 5-year renewal
options at the end of the 25-year initial term.
The Giants franchise will enter into an agreement directly with the City to play their
home games at the new ballpark for 23 seasons after the new ballpark opens. The end
of the term of the non-relocation agreement corresponds with the end of the initial
lease term. The non-relocation term compares favorably with the minimum term of
leases at other new ballpark, such as Coors Field, even though those ballparks were
financed almost entirely with public dollars.
CBBC will pay fair market rent to the Port. Full rent of $1 .2 million per year begins
upon delivery of the site to CBBC. The City's Director of Property advises that the
ground lease rent is well within the range of market rent for the site, taking into
account its existing physical, hazardous material and soil conditions and applicable
tidelands trust limitations. The rent is subject to certain cost-of-living escalations
during the initial lease term. The rent is reset to market at the end of the initial term if
the Giants elect to extend the term.
CBBC agrees to advance up to $500,000, at the City's option, for mutually agreed-
upon City transaction costs, such as staff and legal costs of preparing and processing
the lease documents. CBBC will get credit against rent for any such advances, with
interest at CBBC's actual cost of funds up to a maximum of 8.5%. The rent credit
for such advances are capped at $75,000 per year. CBBC also agrees to pay all costs
¥
Agenda Item No. 3B
December 20, 1996
Page 3
and fees of entitling the project, which other developers would pay. There is no
credit against rent for these costs.
• Available property tax increment generated by development on the ballpark site may
be used for ballpark-related infrastructure as mutually agreed-upon. CBBC agrees to
provide certain assurances of repayment of Redevelopment Agency tax increment
debt for the ballpark-related infrastructure if the term of the bonds exceeds the term
of the lease or if possessory interest taxes from the site are reduced below a level
needed to service the indebtedness.
• CBBC will remediate hazardous materials at the site as required by regulatory bodies
for the development of the ballpark. CBBC is also responsible for all demolition, pier
substructure and other site preparation costs.
• The Port will be responsible for delivering the site free of the Port occupancies. The
Port will also be responsible for purchasing the parcel at 3rd and Berry, which
Caltrans controls. The Caltrans parcel is expected to be acquired through a
negotiated agreement with the State. The Port's responsibility for purchasing the
Caltrans parcel and relocating the private tenants from the property is limited to
$4,100,000. If the total costs exceed such amount, the terms and conditions for any
such excess are subject to further agreement of the parties.
• The schedule for the proposed ballpark project provides for site delivery in late
summer or fall of 1997 and an April 2000 opening.
• CBBC agrees, at the Port's option, to demolish the improvements and return the site
to the Port in developable condition at the end of the lease term if CBBC does not
exercise at least two 5-year renewal options at the end of the minimum term, for a
total lease term of at least 33 baseball sessions at the new ballpark.
The proposed term sheet will not create any contractually binding obligations on the
part of the City. The Port, Board of Supervisors, City Commissions and the Redevelopment
Agency Commission will retain the absolute discretion to (i) make such modifications to the
form of the lease and the ballpark project that are deemed necessary to mitigate significant
environmental impacts; (ii) select other feasible alternatives to avoid such impacts; (iii)
balance the benefits against unavoidable significant impacts prior to taking final action if such
significant impacts cannot otherwise be avoided; or (iv) determine not to proceed with the
project.

INFORMATIONAL PRESENTATION,
I. INTRODUCTION
A. The Waterfront Land Use Plan
The Port of San Francisco has released a Draft Waterfront Plan (Waterfront Plan), the
product of a five-year community planning process to define land uses for the 7-1/2 mile
waterfront under its jurisdiction, from Fisherman's Wharf to India Basin. The grand goal of
the Waterfront Plan is to reunite the waterfront with the City by providing for the Port's
current and long-term maritime needs while also identifying opportunities for open space,
public access and activities which attract the public to use and enjoy the waterfront.
The Waterfront Plan was developed and recommended to the Port Commission by the
Waterfront Plan Advisory Board, a 27 member body representing the fiill range of
maritime, community, business and environmental interests in the future of the waterfront.
This involved a

planning process consisting of more than 100 public meetings over four years. With few
exceptions, the Port Commission approved the Advisory Board's recommended plan for
analysis in an Environmental Impact Report. The Waterfront Plan Final EIR is scheduled to
be certified by the Planning Commission on December 19, 1996.
B. The Urban Design and Public Access Element
One of the key Port Commission amendments to the Plan called for the development of
urban design guidelines to ensure that new development under the Waterfront Plan occurs in
a manner which enhances the waterfront. Toward that end, the Port created a Technical
Advisory Committee (TAC) to review and advise the development of an Urban Design and
Public Access (UDPA) element of the Waterfront Plan. The TAC is made up of highly
respected members in the design profession, and representatives from the Planning
Department, Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC), Waterfront Plan
Advisory Board, and Save San Francisco Bay Association.
The UDPA element will define a comprehensive urban design vision which identifies
locations and types of public access and open space areas and views, historic preservation
policies, and architectural standards, which will be realized as waterfront development
projects occur. The UDPA will be incorporated into the Waterfront Plan, or otherwise
adopted such that its implementation is required, as applicable, as part of new waterfiront
projects.
C. BCDC/Port/Save the Bay Joint Recommendations for Public Review
In addition to developing the Urban Design and Public Access element, the Port entered into
an Agreement with BCDC Under the Agreement, BCDC and the Port are to jointly review
the Waterfront Plan in the context of existing BCDC plan policies, and develop mutually
agreeable amendments to the Waterfront Plan, and BCDC's Bay Plan, and San Francisco
Special Area and Total Design Plans, consistent with the McAteer-Petris Act. The Port and
BCDC agree that resolution of these policy and regulatory issues will enable both agencies
to realize their ultimate objectives more effectively than under current policies and
regulations. BCDC's stated objectives are to 1) revitalize the San Francisco waterfront; 2)
provide maximum feasible public access; and 3) reduce Bay fill. The Port shares those
objectives. In addition, the Port seeks to increase developer certainty and streamline
BCDC's project review process by establishing clear definitions and requirements for
waterfront projects subject to BCDC permitting authority, and conducting its project review
as part of a single, integrated joint design review process by the City, BCDC and the Port.
Agreement Between the San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission and tiie Port of San Francisco to Review
Port Plans and Policies Implementing the San Francisco Waterfront Plan as well as Possible Amendments to the San Francisco Ba\
Plan, Special Area Plan, Total Design Plan, and Other Documents, Port Commission Resolution # 96-02. March 25. 1996.
PORT COMMISSION

BCDC and the Port have met intensively to discuss the issues stated in the Agreement, as
well as to exchange ideas and develop a consensus about an urban design vision for the San
Francisco waterfront. These discussions were joined by Save San Francisco Bay
Association ("Save the Bay"). The three parties have reached conceptual agreement in each
of following areas. These joint recommendations are presented for public review and
comment, and will be the subject of joint Port and BCDC Commission public hearings, and
other public and community meetings prior to adoption of the Waterfront Plan.
1) Pier Removal: The removal of Piers 34 and 36 to create a public open space and
more open water; the removal of Pier 24 as part of new development of Piers 26 and
28; and the removal of most of Pier 33 to create a larger expanse of open water
between Piers 3 1 and 35. In addition, the creation of more open water area is
recommended in the Pier 15-29 area; these area is designated a Special Study Area,
subject to a separate specific planning effort to determine the location of additional
open water, public access and views prior to approval of new development on any of
these piers.
2) Creation of Large New Public Plazas: The creation of a central Plaza in Fisherman's
Wharf on approximately 70% of the site, with an underground garage, financed from
revenue receipts from retail development on the remaining 30% of the site and the
parking garage. In addition, two other large public open spaces would be created in
the South Beach area ("Brannan Street Green", involving removal of Piers 34 and
36), and in the Pier 15-29 Special Study Area; these plazas would be financed by
25% of the Port's gross cash receipts from new development projects, deposited into
a Public Access Account. Funds from this account could also be expended on pier
removal.
3) Public Access on Piers: In addition to the public plazas described above, new
development projects on individual piers would be required to dedicate 25% of the
pier area to public access. It is expected that new development on larger piers will
require a greater amount of public access; recommendations regarding the location,
amount and design of the public access will be made by a proposed Joint Port/City
/BCDC Design Review Committee (discussed below). Public access also would be
required for substantial commercial recreation uses proposed on existing piers as
interim uses; the public access requirement for most other interim uses would be
satisfied through the Port's commitment to create and finance the large public plazas
described in 2) above.
4) Rules Governing Fill and ihe Pier Recnnfiguratinn: For each development
opportunity area where piers could be reconfigured, there are recommendations as to
the maximum perimeter of reconfigured piers, and amount of pier area which would
be permitted by BCDC. Generally, the maximum pier perimeter is the existing outer
edges of the piers in question, and the permitted pier area is the area of the existing
PORT COMMISSION
Page 4
piers; BCDC could approve additional transfer of fill from another pier removed
elsewhere on the waterfront, but could not exceed the maximum pier perimeter line.
5) Land Uses on Piers: The Port's piers would be assigned to one of four categories,
based on the physical condition of the facility: Category 1 (Excellent), Category 2
(Good), Category 3 (Fair), and Category 4 (Poor). For BCDC permitting purposes,
projects on Category I and II piers would be treated as within BCDC's "Shoreline
Band" jurisdiction, regardless of the type of repair and maintenance conducted by the
Port; land uses would be controlled by the Public Trust and the Waterfront Plan, but
not BCDC itself, and maximum feasible public access would be required. Projects
on Category III and IV piers would be treated as within BCDC "Bay" jurisdiction,
and BCDC would control both land use and public access, at a point at which the
Port proposes repairs which exceed replacement of 25% of the piles supporting the
facility.
6) Historic Preservation: Many of the bulkhead buildings and piers appear to be
potentially eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. Bulkhead
buildings located at Category I and II piers would be treated as within BCDC's
Shoreline Band jurisdiction; bulkhead buildings located on Category III piers, which
are determined to be National Register resources would be eligible for exemption
from BCDC's land use regulations under Title 14, Division 5, Section 10704 of the
California Code of Regulations. In addition, prior to granting approval for removal
or alteration of any historic structures, the joint recommendations call for preparing
a preservation plan for resources located between Pier 45 and China Basin Channel,
which will identify historic resources that will be protected and preserved, and will
reconcile competing public objectives such as increasing public access and views.
7) Joint BCDC/Port7City Design Review Committee: The joint recommendations
include the creation of a Joint Design Review Committee, consisting of design
professionals, with representation from BCDC, the City and Port. Its purpose would
be to review development projects in a single, integrated process where the various
design objectives can be discussed and jointly resolved. The Design Review
Committee would review projects with respect to consistency with the design
policies and criteria of all City, Port and BCDC plans pertaining to the waterfront;
overall project design; and amount, shape and types of improvements for public
access areas.
These joint recommendations, as modified in response to public comment, will be
incorporated into the Waterfront Plan, the Urban Design and Public Access element, and/or
other related implementation documents, as appropriate. The application of these joint
recommendations in reviewing new waterfront projects would be in addition to the policies
contained in the Waterfront Plan and the Urban Design and Public Access element. The
i
r
I
PORT COMMISSION
Page 5
recommendations also will be the basis for amendments to the BCDC Bay PlEin and San
Francisco Special Area Plan. Together, these policies will define the design standards and
regulatory framework for new waterfront development projects; each individual project will
be reviewed for compliance with these rules.

DRAFT CONCEPT AGREEMENT AMONG
THE PORT OF SAN FRANCISCO, THE SAVE SAN FRANCISCO BAY
ASSOCIATION, AND THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY CONSERVATION AND
DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION
December 12, 1996
INTRODUCTION
In 1996 the Port of San Francisco ("Port") and the Bay Conservation and Development
Commission ("BCDC") entered into a Memorandum of Agreement to guide fmalization and
implementation of the Draft Waterfront Land Use Plan ("Waterfront Plan"), including an Urban
Design and Public Access ("UDPA") element. Pursuant to that Agreement the staffs of BCDC
and the Port have been meeting to develop recommendations on certain key BCDC-related issues
for presentation to the Technical Advisory Committee, the Waterfront Plan Advisory Board, the
BCDC Design Review Board, the State Lands Commission, members of the public, and the
Commissions of BCDC and the Port. At the invitation of BCDC, the Save San Francisco Bay
Association ("Save the Bay") participated in the discussions and has agreed with this concept
agreement.
(;OALS
The goals of this Concept Agreement are to:
• Complete the Urban Design/Public Access element of the Waterfront Plan (the "UDPA")
consistent with this concept agreement. The UDPA will describe urban design guidelines
for the waterfront including but not limited to the location of significant views and vistas,
location of open water, new public access concepts, new public plazas and overall design
• Remove piers to create more open water.
Create new public plazas on the waterfront
• Improve the design, location, and amount of public access on piers
• Develop new rules for replacement fill and pier reconstruction or reconfiguration
• Develop new rules governing land uses on existing piers.
f
i
J
Develop means to protect historic resources on the waterfront.
Expedite permit processing including the creation of a Joint Port/BCDC/City Design Review
Committee to help streamline permit processing for new projects on the waterfront.
REMOVAL OF PIERS TO CREATE OPEN WATER
The UDPA element of the Port's Waterfront Land Use Plan (WLUP) will specify piers that
the Port will remove.
Piers 34 and 36 will be removed to create a new public space, called Brannan Street Wharf
Pier 24 will be removed as part of redevelopment of Piers 26 and 28. Any reconfiguration of
Piers 26 and 28 must not exceed the combined area of Piers 26 and 28.
A Special Planning Study will be conducted by the Port, the City and BCDC with public
participation to determine the location of additional open water between Piers 15 and 29
New development on any piers is this area cannot proceed until the Special Study is complete
and adopted by the Port and BCDC.
Pier 33 will be removed to create open water; approximately 50,000 square feet of pile
supported fill may be replaced between Piers 3 1 and 35.
A minimum of two openings between connector buildings will be provided, one at Piers 3 1
through 35, and the other to be determined by the Port and BCDC
II. CREATION OF NEW PUBLIC PLAZAS ON THE WATERFRONT
Public access will be addressed through the provisions of the UDPA. Three new public pla/a.s
will be created by the Port.
• A central plaza at Fisherman's Wharf, on Seawall Lots 300 and 301, will consist oi'
approximately 70% open space and the balance reserved for a festive market hall for
commercial or retail uses. New retail or commercial structures will be designed in a manner
compatible with the open nature of the plaza. The open parking lot will be replaced h\' an
underground parking garage.
• Whaif 25, a public plaza in the vicinity of the bases of Piers 19 through 27, will be created
The size, location, and other design details will be determined through the Special .Studs o\'
i
I
I
the area between Piers 15 and 29.
• Brannan Street Wharf will be a public plaza stretching along no less than 600 of the
Embarcadero. This plaza will be created through the removal of Piers 34 and 36. Some fill
will be necessai'y to create a suificient open space.
To finance these new public plazas, this concept agreement includes the following flinding
mechanisms:
• The Plaza and underground parking garage at Fisherman's Wharf will be financed by revenues
from new retail and commercial development on the site.
• The Pon will create a Public Access Account to fiind the Brannan Street Wharf and Wharf
25. The Port will deposit 25% of gross cash receipts fi"om all major new development on Piers
and Seawall lots into the account (new revenues from Fisherman's Wharf will not be included,
as they are designated to flind the new plaza and underground garage; certain project-specific
Poit revenues will also be excluded). The Fund will be used to build the new plazas, but will
be subject to certain requirements concerning priorities for bonded indebtedness.
• Plazas will be constructed as soon as there are sufficient fijnds in the Account to permit
necessary financing. The Brannan Street Wharf will be the first priority for the Fund.
• The Fund may also receive grant or other funding; money from the fund may be used to
remove piers to create open water.
III. PUBLIC ACCESS ON PIERS
• All new development on piers will be consistent with the applicable provisions of the UDP.'X
I including provisions relafing to the size and shape of public access. The Joint Design Review
Committee will review the shape, scope, and level of improvement of public access
J
I
New development on finger piers will dedicate at least 25% of the pier tbotpnnt to public
access. For larger piers, it is expected that more public access area will be necessary The
Joint Design Review Committee will make recommendations regarding the extent of public
access dedication for larger piers, existing or reconfigured.
New interim uses that generate a suhstantial increase in the. need for public access (to be
defined by the parties) will provide maximum feasible public access consistent with the project
and the UDPA. Examples of such uses include a new public market or commercial recreation
inside an existing shed.
f
New interim uses that do not generate a substantial increase in the need for public access
would not be required to provide public access. The development of the three new plazas and
removal of piers to create open water will satisfy the legal requirements to provide "maximum
feasible public access" under the McAteer-Petris Act.
New development of maritime uses will provide maximum feasible public access, consistent
with the project, and will conform to the provisions of the UDPA when feasible.
IV. PIER RECONFIGURATION
Piers may be replaced or reconfigured, consistent with the provisions of the UDPA for each
development opportunity area. The following approach will govern the shape and extent of
pier reconfiguration:
• The "Permitted Pier Area" will define the maximum square footage or area of the
reconfigured pier(s)
• The "Pier Perimeter" will define the boundaries beyond which no replacement or reconfigured
fill can be placed.
• New development of water-dependant maritime projects will be subject to special provision.s
of the UDPA which will balance fijnctional requirements with open water and public access
in a manner that encourages such maritime uses.
LAND USES ON PIERS
Piers in Port Jurisdiction will be assigned to one of two categories based on the physical
condition and useful life of the Pier:
(\ue^()iy I: Piers in excellent or good condition, with expected useful life o[^?->'S yeais oi
more. For the purposes of BCDC permits, these piers will be treated as falling within
BCDC's shoreline band jurisdiction, and thereby not subject to the water-oriented land use
restriction. After 35 years, proposed new projects on these piers will be treated as falling
within BCDC's Bay jurisdiction, whereby uses will meet the water-oriented test.
Cule^^oiy II: Piers in fair or poor condition will be treated as falling within BCDC's Ba
jurisdiction. Projects on these piers must conform with the public access and pic
reconfiguration/replacement provisions of the UDPA Proposed uses must be water onenicci
i
i
I
The Port will conduct "Basic Maintenance" on these piers in association with interim uses
without invoking the water-oriented use restriction; basic maintenance consists of
replacement of up to 25% (cumulative) of piles.
Pier reconfiguration or replacement of more than 25% of piles will trigger the provisions of
the UDPA and BCDC's Bay jurisdiction.
Revised pier repair and land use rules for new development will not take effect in the area
between Piers 15 and 19 until the Special Study for the Pier 15-19 area is complete and
adopted.
VI. PRESERVATION OF HISTORIC RESOURCES
• Some of the bulkhead buildings are on Category 1 piers and can be redeveloped under the
provisions slated above in Section V. Some bulkhead buildings in need of repairs on
Category 11 piers appear to be eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places.
Pile supported structures, which could include bulkhead buildings, that are on the National
Register or designated as a California Registered Historic Landmark can be repaired or
rehabilitated under existing BCDC regulations without triggering the water-oriented use
restriction (California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Division 5, Section 10704).
• The Port will complete fijll documentation of historic structures.
• The Port will evaluate how to increase public access and views in a manner compatible with
historic preseiA/alion
• Prior to approving any action that would adversely affect an historic resource, the Port will
prepare and adopt a plan for historic resource preservation, covering the area between Pici
45 and China Basin Channel.
VII. JOINT DESIGN REVIEW COMMITTEE
The Port, BCDC, and the City will form a Joint Design Review Committee, which will
consist of professionals in the field of design. The objective is to achieve early coiisensu.s on
project and public access design. The joint review of proposed projects will expedite ilic
permitting process at both state and local levels. The authority and composition oi' the
Committee remains to be determined.

SUBJECT: Resolution approving standard leasing parameters, standard form lease and
siting guidelines for Wireless Telecommunications Services (WTS ) facilities
DIRECTOR'S RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the attached resolution.
Background
The telecommunications industry requires the placement of Wireless Telecommunications
Services (WTS) facilities in order to support the operation of wireless networks. This is a
rapidly growing segment of the telecommunications industry.
At the Port Commission meeting on November 12, 1996, a presentation on Wireless
Telecommunication Services (WTS) was given by a representative from the San Francisco
Department of City Planning. The Commission also received a copy of a report entitled
"Wireless Telecommunications Services (WTS) Facilities Siting Guidelines", prepared by the
Department of City Planning.
The Port and City Attorney's Office staff have prepared a number of documents that address
the placement of wireless telecommunications facilities on Port property, including standard
leasing parameters, a standard form lease and facilities siting guidelines. Each of these
documents is summarized below. (A copy of the standard form lease for these facilities was sent
to the Commission on December 6, 1996, under separate cover.)

ATTACHMENT II
WTS Facilities Siting Policies
The following policies and guidelines shall apply to the siting of Wireless Telecommunications Services
Facilities on Port properties:
Land Use
Insure that the siting of Wireless Telecommunications Services (WTS) Facilities is compatible with nearby
uses. WTS facilities should meet Federal Communications Commission (FCC) health and safety standards.
Operation of new facilities should not cause interference with existing nearby facilities such that the existing
facility would be required to increase its power source or other equipment to continue proper service. These
potential impacts should be considered, measured and mitigated prior to approval of a new facility.
Insure that the type of WTS facility is compatible with the scale of the locale or, if it is out of scale, is (1)
determined to be necessary at that location for the Applicant's operational needs (2) meets the criteria of
Section 303( c ) of the Planning Code; and (3) incorporates all feasible measures to ameliorate visual intrusion
or other adverse impacts. Whenever feasible, design out-of-scale facilities as public art rather than obtrusive
utiHties.
Insure that the facility is sited on a structure in such a way as to minimize visual obstruction. Sites to be
considered, in order of preference, are: (1) Public buildings structures, utilities, or other neighborhood
institutions; (2) Industrial or commercial buildings where existing visual obstructions/clutter will be removed;
(3) Industrial or commercial buildings where existing visual obstructions/clutter cannot, in a commercially
reasonable and viable manner, be removed; (4) Residential buildings which exceed the height limit where
existing visual obstructions/clutter will be removed; (5) Residential buildings which exceed the height limit and
where the back-up equipment is installed within the building envelope or installed in such a way as to minimize
visual obstruction; or (6) Residential buildings which are at or below the allowable height limit.
Protect landmark structures, historically-significant structures, architecturally-significant structures, landmark
vistas or scenery, and view corridors from visually-obtrusive WTS antennas and "back-up" equipment.
Protect natural resources, open spaces, recreational trails and/or other recreational resources from intrusion
from installation of unmitigated WTS facilities such that emissions, lighting, signage or barriers would
diminish the value and/or public access to those resources.
Insure that the siting of any WTS facility will be subject to development requirements that will mitigate any
potential health, safety, urban design, neighborhood character or public access impacts and insure that the
installation will positively address the 8 priority policies of Section 101. 1 of the City Planning Code (Prop.
M policies).
Urban Design
Protect the urban design, scale, architectural character and visual continuity of the neighborhood by siting
WTS facilities on buildings and in such a way that would minimize visual obtrusion and protect the vistas and
beauty of the San Francisco Waterfront. WTS facilities should be made as unobtrusive as possible, consistent
with the reasonable technological requirements of the facility. No advertising sign or identifying logo should
Wireless Telecommunications Services Facilities Siting Guidelines " ' "
I
I
I
be displayed on any WTS facility or element except as otherwise required by law. Antenna panels should not
reflect light. The Port staff should review applications to determine when a locale or building is approaching
the maximum number of WTS facilities such that the locale or site is not overwhelmed with facilities and/or
the site is perceived to becoming an "antennae farm" or too "busy" and visually distracting.
Require Applicants to develop and submit with their Application a 5 year plan generally describing the services
to be provided within the City of San Francisco or the Port, each service area within the City, and the size,
type and number of facilities anticipated for each service area within the 5 year period.
When reasonably possible and commercially practicable, remove existing visual obstructions/clutter on the
rooftop or roofline on a permanent basis associated with the installation of WTS facilities.
Health and Safety
The Applicant should pay all reasonable costs associated with the measuring, recording, reporting and
monitoring of emissions, including noise, EMR/RF, and thermal, associated with the WTS facility at all
locations. Such information should be made available by the Applicant to any interested party through the
Apphcant's Neighborhood Liaison. All such records be available for public review in City records.
The Applicant has the responsibility to insure that the facility in which the equipment is to be located is
structurally-sound and is seismicly-safe for the proposed equipment.
The Port should insure that emergency telecommunication services are available on a priority basis to the
appropriate agencies in the event of a disaster or emergency; that is, if the system is rendered inoperable by
a disaster, carriers shall be required to work closely with the City's Office of Emergency Services (or its'
equivalent) to restore emergency City services as quickly as is possible. The installations should not interfere
with any City emergency service telecommunications system.
The Applicant should insure that the WTS facilities are sited in such a way as to comply with any FCC-adopted
safety standards governing controlled and uncontrolled access to the facility. Facilities should have barriers
to prevent unauthorized access. Signs in several languages as may be required by any FCC-adopted standards
be posted, to advise people of the presence of equipment emitting electromagnetic radiation and radio
frequency radiation and to warn people not to approach this equipment.
Community Tnvolvement
Applicants should establish a neighborhood liaison program for each neighborhood within their proposed
geographic service area and publicize within the neighborhood the name, address, fax and phone number of
the neighborhood liaison. The liaison is encouraged to meet with the community to present the Applicants
proposal prior to application to the Port, and the Applicant should meet with neighbors and representatives of
any neighborhood organization within the area to present its proposal(s) once an application has been filed.
The liaison program should continue throughout the time the WTS facility remains operational in the
neighborhood.
Building Siting Criteria
Each Communication Site shall be installed on and/or within the building in such a way as to:
1. Minimize the visual impact of the installation from public vistas or streets.

SUBJECT: Consent to wireless telecommunication services use at Pier 39
DIRECTOR'S RECOMMENDATION:
CATION SERVICES USE AT PIER 39
CONSENT TO WIRELESS TELECOMMUNI-
The Pier 39 master lease (Port Lease # L-9707, the "Lease"), as amended oji October 31, 1979,
authorized certain specified uses, none of which include wireless telecommunication services
("WTS") use. The Lease provides that any new use or change of use requires consent by the Port,
and it further provides that the Port and the Pier 39 Limited Partnership ("Tenant") negotiate the
new rent due the Port for the new use or change of use. In the event the Port and Tenant are
unable to agree on the rent, the Lease provides for binding arbitration.
In early 1996, Tenant requested a building permit from the Port for a planned WTS facility on the
Pier 39 garage, which is located on the premises for the Lease ("Premises"). Although Tenant
had previously received a building permit for another WTS facility on this garage, it was the
position of Port staff and the City Attorney that this proposed WTS facility was not an authorized
use under the Lease. Consequently, although Port staff believed that WTS facilities might be an
acceptable use on the Premises, Port staff maintained that the Port Commission would need to
consent to the use and approve the rent due the Port for this new use. Moreover, the Port
Commission could not approve the WTS use nor approve the building permit for the WTS facility
until the Port adopted WTS facilities siting guidelines.
THIS PRINT COVERS CALENDAR ITEM NO. 5 B
Agenda Item No. 5B
December 12, 1996
Page Two
Pending the adoption of such guidelines and conditioned upon these guidelines allowing for WTS
facilities use on the Premises, Port staff and Tenant reached agreement that the rents payable to
the Port for the WTS facility use be thirty percent (30%) of the rent received by Tenant from the
operators of WTS facilities on the Premises. Port staff has determined that the proposed location
of WTS facilities on the Premises would be allowed under the Port's proposed WTS Facilities
Siting Guidelines, subject to satisfaction of the specific siting criteria contained in the proposed
guidelines.
Provided that the Port Commission approves the proposed WTS Facilities Siting Guidelines,
presented as Agenda Item 5A of the December 20, 1996 Port Commission meeting, Port staff
recommends that the Port Commission grant its consent to the WTS facilities use on the Premises.
Port staff further recommends that this consent be subject to the condition that the rent Tenant
shall pay to the Port for this use shall be calculated at thirty percent (30%) of the rent received
from the operators of WTS facilities on the Premises. The initial combined rent to be paid Tenant
by the existing and the now proposed additional WTS facilities operator is expected to total
approximately $3,000.00 per month. Tenant would therefore initially pay the Port rent of
approximately $900.00 per month for this WTS facilities use.

SUBJECT: Approval of lease with Peer Inn, Inc. for the Peer Inn Restaurant at Pier 33.
DIRECTOR'S RECOMMENDATION: APPROVE LEASE WITH PEER INN, INC.
BACKGROUND
Peer Inn Restaurant
For thirty-seven years, George and Ann Papadakis and the Papadakis family have operated the
Peer Inn Restaurant at Pier 33. The Tenant under this lease is Peer Inn, Inc., a California
corporation, which is wholly owned by the Papadakis family. Their tenancy has been on only a
month-to-month basis until the Port granted them a new three-year lease in 1994, pursuant to its
Policy for Leasing Retail Business Sites (the "Retail Policy," discussed below). The current lease
expires April 30, 1997. The current monthly base rent is $2,730.20, versus percentage rent
calculated at 7% of gross receipts. During the 1995/96 Fiscal Year, the Peer Inn Restaurant
generated gross sales of $263,687 ($86 per square foot of interior restaurant space) and paid
$18,456* ($6.03 per square foot) of total rent to the Port.

Pursuant to the Retail Policy, Peer Inn, Inc. has now requested a new long term lease following
the expiration of its existing three-year lease. Peer Inn, Inc. has also submitted a business plan
for redeveloping the restaurant, which includes a significant investment. Pursuant to the Retail
Policy, Port Staff has reviewed the compliance of Peer Inn, Inc. with the criteria for direct
negotiation of a long term restaurant lease, and staff has negotiated a new lease.
* Tenant is paying percentage rent only during construction of the Waterfront Transportation
Project.
Policy for Leasing Retail Business Sites
On April 28, 1993, the Port Commission approved the Retail Policy (by Resolution No. 93-52).
This Retail Policy reaffirms the Port's commitment to foster and encourage full and equitable
opportunities for leasing retail sites on the waterfront through an outreach and competitive bid or
request for proposal process (in accordance with section 23.24 of the Administrative Code).
However, the Retail Policy also allows for the direct negotiation of a lease with an existing retail
tenant if the benefits of direct negotiation exceed the benefits of a public offering. The Retail
Policy offered a one time opportunity for an existing month-to-month tenant to receive a three-year
lease provided that the tenant was in good standing and was in compliance with affirmative action
requirements. This short term lease opportunity was granted to provide time for the tenant to
develop a business plan and strategy for capital investment.
For a longer term lease to be awarded then to an existing retail tenant through direct negotiation,
the Port Commission must determine that:
1. The tenant is in good standing:
2. The tenant is committed to making a significant capital investment supported by a sound
business plan which will benefit the Port;
3. The tenancy is in the best economic interest of the Port, and the tenant is the best economic
tenant available; and
4. The tenant has a good record of affirmative action and nondiscrimination and is committed
to future compliance.
As discussed below, Port staff believes that Peer Inn, Inc. and its proposed business plan satisfy
those criteria for direct negotiation pursuant to the policy.
1. Gk)od Standing. Peer Inn, Inc. has a consistent history of compliance with the obligation
of its existing lease.
2. Sound Business Plan. With a longer term lease, Peer Inn, Inc. proposes to renovate and
reposition the restaurant as a full service Greek restaurant. The restaurant concept is to
Agenda Item No. 5D
Page 3
create a comfortable open design restaurant which will offer fresh and healthful Greek
cuisine prepared in open view of diners. The business plan includes investing $500,000
($141 per sq. ft.) in the renovation of the restaurant, and engaging a management group
with extensive experience developing and operating San Francisco restaurants. The
Papadakis family will remain the owners of Peer Inn, Inc.
The renovation and operation of the New Peer Inn will be managed by the Peer Inn
Management Group, comprised of Chris Kasaris and Chris Tsardoulias. After holding
responsible positions in the restaurant and produce business, Chris Kasaris opened the Bay
City Bar & Grill in 1986 near Third and Brannan Streets, and he continues to operate this
successful full-service restaurant. Chris Tsardoulias has 34 years of restaurant
development and executive chef experience. His experience includes Executive Chef of
the Ritz Hotel Vancouver, Executive Assistant Chef of the Fairmont Hotel in San
Francisco, and Executive Chef for the Hyatt Corporation, where he was responsible for
opening five different Hyatt hotels, including San Francisco's Hyatt Regency Embarcadero
and the Grand Hyatt. Most recently, he was Executive Director of Food and Beverage for
the Royal Cruise Line.
The renovation plan, illustrated on the enclosed floor plan and section attached hereto as
Exhibit A, will create an open dining room, affording views by all diners of the water and
a new open cooking line with a wood burning oven and open fire rotisserie. A small bar
will be created along with a comfortable waiting area. The new open configuration will
increase the seating capacity from 85 to 132.
The windows of the street facade will be returned to their original size and style, retaining
the historic waterfront architectural design, but offering better visibility into and through
the restaurant to the water. Blue awnings will be installed over the new doors and
windows with discreet white signage. The existing aluminum frame window system on
the water will be replaced with operable wooden windows. The renovation design will
favor natural woods, stone and tile over synthetic materials.
The New Peer Inn will offer a unique menu of light and healthful Greek cuisine, comprised
of fresh fish, meats and produce. The marketing plan for the New Peer Inn will be based
on the following principles: maximizing convention and visitor patronage; drawing from
traffic generated by the new F-Line and the revitalized waterfront; developing a
neighborhood clientele from the nearby offices and Cruise Terminal; and creating a
distinctive destination restaurant for local and regional patrons. Access will be enhanced
by offering valet parking at a curbside passenger loading zone.

Best Economic Tenant. Port staff has determined that the market base rent per month on
the Northern Waterfront is in the range of $2-$3. Peer Iim, Inc. has agreed to pay an
initial monthly base rent of $2.80 per sq. ft. , which is at the upper end of this market rental
range. Moreover, based upon the planned renovation and the new management group, the
New Peer Inn is projected by Peer Iim, Inc. to generate average sales of $200,000 per
month in the first year after the renovation, increasing to $317,250 per month the fifth year
after the renovation. As indicated in the following table, the Port would therefore realize
average monthly rent of approximately $3.96 per square foot in the first year increasing
to $6.28 per square foot in the fifth year.

4. Affirmative Action. Port staff has determined that Peer Inn, Inc. has a good affirmative
action record in employment, purchasing and contracting. In addition. Port staff has
reviewed and approved the Affirmative Action Non-Discrimination Plan prepared in
conjunction with the lease negotiations, which would be enforceable by the lease. The new
lease further requires that not less than 30% of the construction costs expended by Peer
Inn, Inc. for its Tenant Improvements would inure to the benefit of bonafide MBE, WBE,
or DBE enterprises certified by the San Francisco Human Rights Commission ("HRC").

PROPOSED LEASE
1. Tenant: Peer Inn, Inc., a California corporation,
2. Premises: 3,538 sq. ft. of interior restaurant space located in the Pier 33 Bulkhead
Building between Piers 33 and 35.
3. Term: A nine-year term, commencing 150 days following the date that Tenant obtains all
required regulatory approvals for the proposed renovation of the Premises, including
issuance of a Conditional Use Permit by the City Planning Department, issuance of a
permit by BCDC, and issuance of a building permit by the Port. During the 150-day
period prior to the commencement of the term ("Renovation Period"), Tenant shall have
the right of early entry to undertake the renovation, and will be subject to all the terms and
conditions of the Lease except for the Term and amount of Base Rent (discussed below).
If all of the above regulatory approvals are not obtained by July 1, 1997, the Lease will
be null and void. On the first day of the Renovation Period, Tenant's current lease shall
terminate.
4. Use: A full-service restaurant, operation of a take-out food service window, and sale of
in-house signature items (provided, however, the sale of such retail items shall not exceed
5% of the Tenant's gross receipts).
5. Base Rent: Initial Base Rent of $9,906.40 per month, which equals $2.80 per sq. ft.,
subject to annual cost of living increases. During the portion of the Renovation Period,
the Base Rent shall be reduced to $2,700 ($0.76 per sq. ft.) per month.
6. Percentage Rent: Percentage rent, which shall be offset by Base Rent paid, shall be
calculated and paid monthly by applying the percentage rates indicated below to the gross
sales of the indicated types of sales.

8. Tenant Improvements:
Prior to the first anniversary date of the lease Term, Tenant shall expend at least
$500,000 on Tenant Improvements to the Premises, as outlined below:
Complete Interior Renovation $320,000.00
Upgrade of Plumbing and Addition $ 65,000.00
of Handicap Restrooms
New HVAC System $25,000.00
Upgrade of Electrical System $ 75,000.00
New Exterior Awnings $ 15.000.00
TOTAL $500,000.00
Construction of Tenant Improvements to the Premises by Tenant, in an amount of
not less than $500,000, constitutes a material consideration to the Port.
Consequently, in the event that Tenant has spent less than $500,000 on Tenant
Improvements as of the first anniversary date of the Term, the monthly Base Rent
will be increased by the difference between $500,000 and the amount actually
expended by Tenant on Tenant Improvements, amortized on a straight line basis
over the balance of the lease term. For example: If by the first anniversary date
of the Term, Tenant has only expended $400,000 on Tenant Improvements, then
the monthly base rent will be increased by $1,041.67 ($500,000 - $400,000 =
$100,000; $100,000 ^ 96 months = $1,041.67).
Tenant agrees that not less than 30% of the construction costs it expends on Tenant
Improvements shall inure to the benefit of MBE, WEE or DEE enterprises, as
certified by HRC.

DIRECTOR'S RECOMMENDATION: APPROVE 60 BERTH HYDE STREET FISHING
HARBOR PROPOSED PROJECT, AUTHORIZE EXPENDITURE OF LOAN FUNDS FROM
THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF BOATING AND WATERWAYS, AND ADOPT
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW AND PROJECT APPROVAL FINDINGS.
The Hyde Street Fishing Harbor is a proposed 60 berth harbor located to the east of the Hyde
Street Pier. It is part of a series of improvements in the Fisherman's Wharf area collectively
known as the Seafood Center that includes: a 1,200 foot breakwater completed in 1986; $11.6
million in earthquake repairs at Pier 45 completed in 1995; and new fishing industry related uses
in sheds A and C located on the east side of Pier 45.
THIS PRINT COVERS CALENDAR ITEM NO. 7A

PORT COMMISSION
Page 2
In 1994, the Port Commission authorized the staff to prepare an environmental impact report
(EIR) for the Hyde Street Fishing Harbor and new uses in Sheds A and C on Pier 45, as
required by the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). In January 1995 a team led by
the Duffey Company began preparation of the EIR. On April 25, 1996 a Draft EIR was
released for public review and comment and over 300 pages of conmients were received. The
Draft EIR analyzed a 60-berth harbor design, a 86-berth harbor with room for another 20 tied
vessels, a no-build alternative, and various alternative uses for Sheds A and C.
The preferred project alternative for the Hyde Street Fishing Harbor that is analyzed in the
EIR and is before you for approval, consists of a 60-berth harbor, as shown on Attachment I
to the attached resolution. It also consists of harbor-related improvements which include the
following: (1) An approximately 200 square foot restroom; (2) Fuel dock that includes lighting
and spill containment equipment, automatic shut-off features, a leak detection system, remote
operated shutoff switch and pressure sensitive valves; (3) A single security gate at the end of
the pier; (4) A vessel sewage pump-out station; (5) An approximately 40 square foot oily
waste disposal facility; (6) A central depression in the new pier area to direct storm water to
die combined sewer system; (7) Parking for approximately 45 vehicles; and (8)
Approximately 3000 square feet of public access at the foot of the new pier. The project
under consideration at this time does not include proposed uses for Sheds A and C. Those
uses will come before the Commission in the ftiture.
On December 12, 1996 the Planning Commission certified the EIR and adopted a resolution
stating that there are no significant environmental impacts associated with development of the
project. The resolution before the Port Commission today is for approval of project design,
authorization to expend loan fiinds from the California Department of Boating and Waterways,
and adopt environmental review and project approval findings for the harbor.
Public comments throughout the design and EIR phases of the project have continually focused
on water quality in the Fisherman's Wharf area. After completion of the Draft EIR and public
comment period, the Port formed a Water Quality Advisory Committee for the Fisherman's
Wharf area to address longstanding environmental issues associated with water quality. The
committee includes representative from the fishing industry, area merchants, the swimming
and boating community, and resource agencies. Recognizing that environmental issues do not
stop at jurisdictional lines, the committee is also evaluating the effects of pollution sources
outside of Fisherman's Wharf. The committee will develop recommendations for improving
environmental and water quality for the Fisherman's Wharf area and present those
recommendations to the Port Commission and other relevant agencies. The Port has agreed to
ftind the committee through 1998.
Under CEQA, the Port Commission must prepare written findings of fact that explain how it
has dealt with each significant impact and alternative identified in the EIR. The EIR for this
PORT COMMISSION
Page 3
project found no significant impacts caused by the proposed project. However, certain
measures were suggested to maintain and improve water quality. The attached resolution
adopts findings for the project, addressing the following issues: (1) Alternatives to the project;
(2) Significant effects on the environment; (3) Impacts determined to be insignificant; and (4)
Additional environmental protection measures included in the project. The findings also adopt
a monitoring program to track implementation of the additional environmental protection
measures.
The total cost for the Hyde Street Fishing Harbor is estimated at $4.5 million. The Port has
obtained a loan from the California Department of Boating and Waterways for $3.5 million,
with Port operating funds supplying the remainder of the project budget. The next steps are to
obtain BCDC and Army Corps of Engineers permits for the project. The Port Commission
authorized staff on November 12, to issue a Request for Proposal for detailed project design.
Staff will seek Commission approval in 1997 for approval of the detailed project design, and
for construction bids in 1998. Construction is scheduled to start at the beginning of 1998.

FmDINGS RELATED TO ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW AND PROJECT APPROVAL
HYDE STREET FISHING HARBOR/PIER 45 SHEDS A&C
L INTRODUCTION
1. Description. These findings are made in support of the San Francisco Port Commission's
approval of a new Hyde Street Fishing Harbor project, consisting of new facilities to
accommodate a total of 60 boats and related harbor service facilities. These findings are made in
accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act ("CEQA") (Cal. Pub. Res. Code
Section 21000 et seq.), and Chapter 3 1 of the San Francisco Administrative Code. The project
sponsor is the San Francisco Port Commission.
The Port has proposed a project consisting of three components: (1) the Hyde Street Fishing
Harbor; (2) related Harbor Service Facilities; and (3) New Uses in Sheds A and C located at Pier
45. The only parts of the project being approved at the present time consist of the Hyde Street
Fishing Harbor and the related Harbor Service Facilities. These findings relate only to those two
parts of the project being approved at this time, which are referred to herein as the "proposed
project."
The Hyde Street Fishing Harbor component of the proposed project includes reconstruction of
the east side of Hyde Street Pier and construction of a new Hyde Street Fishing Harbor with
space for 60 boats, as shown on Figure 19- A, Comments and Responses (page C&R 27),
identified therein as Alternative A-1. Reconstruction of the east side of Hyde Street Pier would
include the removal and relocation of the existing rock fill and replacement of the existing timber
pier structure with concrete piles. The new berthing system would consist of permanent floating
berths with room for 60 vessels with separating floats supported by a concrete guide pile berthing
system. A floating barrier to prevent debris from floating from the Harbor to Aquatic Park would
be added between the Harbor and Hyde Street Pier, immediately east of the Eureka dolphin.
The Harbor Service Facilities component of the proposed project includes a 200 square foot
restroom, lighting and spill containment equipment for the existing fiael dock, a new/replacement
fuel delivery pipeline including automatic shut off features, a leak detection system, remote
operated shutoff switch and pressure sensitive valves, a single security gate at the end of the pier.
a vessel sewage pump-out station, a 40 square foot oily waste disposal facility, a central
depression in the dock area to direct storm water to an oil water separator prior to disposal to the
Bay, parking for a total of 45 vehicles, and 3000 square feet of public access at the foot of the
new pier.
2. The Environmental Impact Report. The City and County of San Francisco, acting through
the Department of City Planning (the "Department") published a Draft Environmental Impact
Report ("DEIR") on April 25, 1996, and filed with the State Office of Planning & Research under
State Clearinghouse No. 94073023. The Planning Commission held a duly advertised public
hearing on the DEIR on June 6, 1996, at which public comment was received on the DEIR. The
period for acceptance of written comments ended on June 10, 1996.
The Department prepared responses to comments on environmental issues received at tiie
public hearing and in writing during the 30-day public review period for the DEIR, prepared
revisions to the text of the DEIR in response to comments received or based on additional
information that became available during the public review period, and corrected errors in the
DEER. This material was presented in a Draft Summary of Comments and Responses, published
on November 26, 1996, was distributed to the Planning Commission and to all parties who
commented on the DEIR, and was available to others upon request at Department offices. A
Final EIR ("FEIR") for the Hyde Street Fishing Harbor/Pier 45 Sheds A and C, File No. 93.574E,
was prepared by the Department, consisting of the DEIR, any consultations and comments
received during the review process, any additional information that became available, and the
Summary of Comments and Responses. The FEIR was certified as complete by the San Francisco
Planning Commission on December 12, 1996.
3. Evidentiary Basis for Findings. These Findings are based on substantial evidence contained
in the record before this Commission which has been independently reviewed by this Commission.
For ease and clarity of reading, specific citations to information in the record upon which each
finding is based may have been omitted. In all instances, however, these Findings are based on the
information contained in the FEIR, as supplemented with information provided by staff,
consultants, and interested parties, and reasonable inferences drawn from such information.
Project Environmental Impact Report files have been made available to the Port
Commission and the public, and these files are part of the record before the Port Commission.
This record is available for review at the Department of City Planning, Office of Environmental
Review, at 1660 Mission Street, San Francisco, CA 94103. The record before the Port
Commission includes, without limitation, the following:
1. The Final Environmental Impact Report, consisting of the DEIR, comments
received on the DEIR, Responses to Comments, errata and staff initiated text
changes to the DEIR, and all appendices;
2. All relevant staff, consultant and public reports and memoranda kept in the
ordinary course of business providng substantial evidence to support the findings
related to the proposed project, and the FEIR, including attachments, appendices
and references kept in the ordinary course of business;
3. All studies conducted for the proposed project and the FEIR contained or
referenced in the staff reports and FEIR, including appendices;
4. All documentary and oral evidence, including staff reports, received and
reviewed at public hearings, workshops and other public meetings related to the
FEIR and/or the proposed project held before the San Francisco Planning
Commission and the Port Commission;
5. All matters of common knowledge to this Commission; and
6. All public notices, including but not limited to notices of preparation and
completion issued for the proposed project, and notices of public meetings.
11. ALTERNATIVES TO THE PROJECT
A. Introduction.
In addition to the proposed project, the Final EIR analyzed a No Project Alternative, and
Alternative A, which was Hyde Street Fishing Harbor, Maximum Expansion, a more intensive
harbor alternative. The FEIR does not analyze a project that is less intensive than the proposed
project, and does not analyze a project in an alternative location. CEQA requires the EIR to
describe a range of reasonable alternatives to the project, or to the location of the project which
would feasibly attain most of the basic objectives of the project but would avoid or substantially
lessen any of the significant effects of the project. Because the EIR does not identify any
significant impacts resulting from either the proposed project or the more intensive alternatives,
an analysis of alternative sites or projects to the proposed project would not provide this
Commission with meaningful information on environmentally superior options, but would merely
offer an alternative that would not meet the project objectives. In addition, the Port is not
considering Alternative A at this time because it is not environmentally superior to the proposed
project and survey information referenced in the DEIR indicates that increased need for harbor
expansion does not warrant a harbor of the magnitude described as Alternative A.
B. No Project Alternative.
The Port Commission rejects the No Project alternative as environmentally inferior to the
proposed project, because, without the proposed project the following would occur:
• Transient and oversized commercial fishing boats would continue to raft in
the Harbor or side-tie to other boats, making supervision and access to the
boats difficult for the Harbor Master;
• Modern facilities for the commercial fishing industry such as floating
docks, storage and gear boxes, parking for boat operators, security gates
and night lighting in the berthing area would not be provided;
• Flexible skirts surrounding boats in a berth would not be provided and
floatable debris from boats and other surface water contaminants would not
be contained in the Harbor for the Port's skimmer to collect;
• The pump-out facility would not be provided, which would increase the
potential for illegal disposal of human waste into the Bay;
• The existing fueling facility would not be improved with a new fuel delivery
pipeline to the fuel dock with automatic shut off and leak detection, and
fuel would continue to be provided by the fuel truck parked on Hyde
Street Pier, increasing the potential for oil spills in the Bay,
• Stormwater and urban runoff from the Hyde Street Pier would continue to
drain into the bay, compared with the proposed projects' oil-water
separator proposed for the paved area of the Pier.
m. SIGNIFICANT EFFECTS ON THE ENVIRONMENT
The Port Commission has considered all of the information set forth in the record and finds that
the proposed project will have no significant effects on the environment, and that it will improve
the existing setting for the fishing industry by the provision of much-needed facilities and would
improve existing water quality.
IV. IMPACTS DETERMINED TO BE INSIGNIFICANT
The Port Commission finds that, based on the record before it, the following potential impacts
identified in the FEIR would not have a significant effect on the environment:
1. Land Use. Zoning, and Bay-Fill. The FEIR indicates that land uses within the project
site, and fishing-related uses in particular, would not be substantially altered by the proposed
project. The proposed project would allow more control of fishing vessels in the harbor. Truck-
based fish-trading activity would not be expected to change due to the project. The proposed
project would add additional Bay Fill, but would also result in significantly improved public access
area, and would be subject to review by BCDC. Based on the EIR and the entire record before
the Port Commission, the Commission finds that the proposed project impacts on land use, zoning
and bay fill are less than significant.
2. Water Quality.
Statement of Facts
a. Fish Processing. The FEIR indicates that the Port does not anticipate
substantial increase in number of vessels using the harbor as a result of the proposed projeci, and
shows that fish landings have decreased by almost 50% since 1988. In addition, the FEIR finds
no direct relationship between fish processing activities and bacteriological water quality.
b. Potential fijel/oil spills. The FEIR indicates that the proposed project would
not result in any increased potential for fuel or oil spills from fishing vessels over that which
currently exists because the FEIR indicates that the Port does not anticipate substantial increase in
number of vessels using the harbor as a result of the proposed project, and the improvements
included in the proposed project would reduce the potential for fijel spills in the Harbor associated
with the fliel dock.
c. Other Waste Discharges. The FEIR indicates that the Port does not anticipate a
substantial increase in number of vessels using the harbor as a result of the proposed project and
that, therefore no increase would occur in potential for waste discharge over current conditions.
«
i
In addition, new restrooms and sewage handling facilities, including a waste pump-out, included
in the project would reduce the likelihood of increased waste discharge.
d. Litter/Trash. The FEIR indicates that the Port does not anticipate substantial
increase in number of vessels using the harbor as a result of the proposed project, and that
increased litter is not expected to occur.
e. Construction Activities. Dredging/ placement of fill and rock materials,
removal of existing piles and installation of concrete piles would result in short term effects on
turbidity and suspended solids, and decreases in dissolve oxygen. However, the Port is subject to
water quality regulations and permit requirements by the Army Corps of Engineers and BCDC
and California Department of Fish and Game. Port would avoid conflicts with scheduled
activities of swimming clubs using the area.
Findings. Based on the EIR and the entire record before the Port Commission, the
Commission finds that the proposed project impacts on water quality are less than significant.
3. Marine Biology. Removal of some existing rock and timber would result in loss of
habitat for some species, while placement of new rock and concrete fill would create potential
habitat for other species, resulting in a net gain of new substrate. Losses of benthic habitat would
be short-term. Based on the EIR and the entire record before the Port Commission, the
Commission finds that the proposed project impacts on marine biology are less than significant.
4. Public Utilities. An estimate increase in impermeable surfaces associated with the
floating berths and walkways would not affect the existing combined stormwater/sewer collection
system. Based on the EIR and the entire record before the Port Commission, the Commission
finds that the proposed project impacts on public utilities are less than significant.
5. Public Services. The existing levels of police and fire services would be expected to be
adequate to accommodate any incremental increase in demands for their services. Based on the
EIR and the entire record before the Pon Commission, the Commission finds that the proposed
project impacts on public services are less than significant.
6. Air Quality. The FEIR indicates that the Port does not anticipate substantial increase
in number of vessels using the harbor as a result of the proposed project, and as a result, no
increased odors associated with boating and vessel activity, such as diesel fijmes, would be
expected. Based on the EIR and the entire record before the Port Commission, the Commission
finds that the proposed project impacts on public services are less than significant.
7. Transportation. The additional 45 parking spaces are expected to serve existing harbor
user and would not result in increased vehicle trips. Existing and fijture trips to the Harbor are
already included as part of the existing traffic volumes in the area and do not indicate
unacceptable levels of service. The additional berths are not expected to create additional parking
or loading requirements because the additional berths are intended to accommodate existing
numbers of vessels. Transit demand is anticipated to be minimal. Significant additional pedestrian
trips are not expected to be generated by the proposed project. Based on the EIR and the entire
record before the Port Commission, the Commission finds that the proposed project impacts on
transportation are less than significant.
8. Hazards. The fiaei dock will be fitted with improvements over the existing conditions,
such as a pipe line with automatic shut off features, a leak detection system, remote operated shut
off switch and pressure sensitive valves. It would also contain spill containment equipment. Any
hazardous materials in excavated soil or dredged materials would be handled in accordance with
regulatory testing and disposal requirements. Based on the EIR and the entire record before the
Port Commission, the Commission finds that the proposed project impacts on hazards are less
than significant.
V. ADDITIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL
PROTECTION MEASURES INCLUDED IN THE PROJECT
The Port Commission finds that the following measures are not necessary to mitigate any
adverse environmental impacts of the proposed project, but are nevertheless incorporated by the
Port as part of the project, and will be monitored by the Port in accordance with the monitoring
program attached hereto as Attachment 1 ;
L The Port currently maintains and will continue to maintain a spill prevention and
response plan that specifies procedures to follow in the event of a fuel spill. Emergency
fuel clean-up equipment is maintained at the existing fuel dock and the Wharfingers office.
The Port will continue to train personnel in the use of this equipment, and will continue to
educate boat owners/operators/ about illegal discharges and spill in the Bay and in harbor
waters.
2. The Port will install facilities to minimize the potential for fijel leaks from the storage
tanks to the fiael dock. These will include replacement of the fuel delivery pipeline from
the seawall to the fuel dock that would include automatic shut-off features, a leak
detection system, remote operated shutoff switch and pressure sensitive features.
3. The Port will include an oil-water separator for the fuel dock area as part of the
project. Impermeable surfaces will be designed to collect runoff in a depressed area
directing stormwater to the combined sewer system.
4. The Port will include as part of the project a pump-out station at the fuel dock for
disposal of chemical toilet waste from boats using the harbor.
5. The Port will coordinate with the San Francisco Fire Department to use a fireboats to
periodically hose off the breakwater during outgoing tides so that debris and animal
wastes are dispersed into the Bay and not into the Harbor.
6. The Port will continue to use a work skiff one or two hours each day to clean up
floating debris in the harbor. The Port will increase the frequency of the skiff operation on
an as needed basis.
I
7. The Port will design the project so that boat berths will be enclosed on three sides.
The Port will install a free-floating skirted debris barrier along the west boundary of the
project directly adjacent to the San Francisco National Maritime Historic Park. (See
Attachment I).
8. The Port will coordinate with swimmers using Aquatic Park regarding scheduling of
dredging activities to avoid conflict with scheduled activities.
9. The Port's construction specifications will include use of debris barriers, or temporary
wraps for piles removed, in the harbor to reduce the release of floating debris to the Bay.
10. The Port will continue not to conduct dredging activities during herring season.
11. The Port will continue to coordinate with restaurant owners and nearby commercial
operators to improve housekeeping practices (such as improved grease disposal bins,
dumpsters with side covers, increased cover garbage receptacles, sidewalk sweeping, etc.)
to reduce litter and trash entering harbor waters.
12. The Port will continue weekday supervision of the harbor and will add another
wharfinger position to increase hours and days of supervision.
13. The Port has established the Fishermans' Wharf Environmental Quality Advisory
Committee to address water quality issues on a multi-jurisdictional level, and has
committed to fijnd the Committee at least through June 30, 1998.
14. The Port will revise its berthing agreements and regulations to include stricter
controls on waste discharges, transient vessel berthing, and other harbor management
issues.
VI. NO NEW INFORMATION
The Port Commission finds that no new information of substantial importance has become
available, no modification to the project has occurred that would require important revisions to
the FEIR, and no substantial changes have occurred with respect to the circumstances under
which the project is undertaken since the Planning Commission certified the FEIR and, therefore,
there is no need to prepare an addendum or supplement to the FEIR or recirculate the FEIR

SUBJECT: Guidelines for Review and Approval of Signs and Murals on Port
Property
DIRECTOR'S RECOMMENDATION: Approve Guidelines for Review and Approval
of Signs and Murals on Port property.
The Port receives an increasing number of permit applications for signs on Port property,
as the landscape and roadway improvements along the Embarcadero near completion.
Recognizing that one of the principal goals of the Port's Waterfront Land Use Plan is to
ensure an exemplary level of urban design that is worthy of the waterfront setting, the
Commission has approved the preparation of an Urban Design/ Public Access Plan that
will be incorporated in the Waterfront Plan. This work is now underway with the
involvement of a Technical Advisory Committee, with representatives from civic,
environmental, and professional design groups and regulatory agencies.
The Urban Design/Public Access Plan lays out concepts and principles that address the
urban design, public access and historic resources throughout Port property. The Design
Plan is the implementing tool to express design goals and define specific characteristics or
parameters for structures and public improvements as the Waterfront Plan is implemented.

Signs and murals are prominent visual features in the waterfront environment.
Accordingly, staff has prepared the attached Guidelines specifically to address the
evaluation of the design of signs and murals on Port property. These Guidelines will
assist the Port staff in evaluating applications for sign permits. Staff may recommend
further design review by outside design advisors if the proposed sign has significant
implications for the urban design of the waterfi"ont.

• ship repair revenue is projected to fall $553,000 (-36%) primarily due to the closure
of the Service Engineering Company shipyard at Pier 50;
• commercial and industrial rent is projected to increase $455,000 (2%) primarily due to
rent from percentage leases that are projected to grow from increased tenant sales;
• cruise revenue is projected to increase 216,500 (43%) primarily due to increased
passenger volume associated with larger vessel capacity; and
• marketing revenue is projected to increase $425,000 (213%) due to increased filming

The accompanying budget summary and detailed budget books do not reflect a recent
addition. The Facilities Maintenance budget has been amended to add $50,000 for the
Fisherman's Wharf Environmental Quality Advisory Committee presented at the last
Commission meeting. These funds will be used in the development of an environmental
quality plan or set of recommendations.
The major changes in the FY 97/98 expense budget over the prior fiscal year are in
personnel, other current expenses, debt service and services of other departments
(insurance. City Attorney, and City Planning) as follows:
• personnel costs are projected to increase $922,535 (6%) as a result of:
scheduled salary and step increases ($218,132);
anticipated wage increases not yet negotiated, a 2% increase ($230,600);
6 new positions ($299,300);
7 reclassified positions ($39,600);
2 funded positions that were previously unfunded ($110,300); and
fringe benefits ($24,603);
other current expenses are projected to increase $542,976 (16%) primarily due to
increased professional services expense expected from a new janitorial contract and the
transfer of expense for professional auditors that was previously budgeted in Services
of Other Departments;

• debt service expense is projected to fall $461,700 (-6%) based on the current debt
repayment schedule;
• services of other departments are projected to change significantly from the previous
fiscal year in the following areas:
• insurance expense is projected to fall $200,000 (-25 %) due to the renewal of
insurance premiums at lower cost;
• City Attorney expense is projected to increase $103,700 (11 %) due to the
assignment of one additional attorney to the Port; and
• City Planning expense is projected to increase $115,000 (68%) due to additional

perform the subsequent construction
DIRECTOR'S RECOMMENDATION: APPROVE THE DECLARATION OF AN
EMERGENCY TO ALLOW CONTRACTORS TO ASSIST PORT STAFF WITH THE
DEMOLITION AND REPAIR OF THE FIRE DAMAGED PIER 48 SHEDS AND
RELATED COMPONENTS
On November 26, 1996, a fire at the east end of Pier 48 destroyed the interconnecting wood
frame structure and caused substantial structural damage to the steel frames, walls and roof
at the easterly end of Sheds A and B on the pier. The fire caused significant deformation of
steel trusses and caused pre-cast concrete wall panels that make up the exterior walls of the
sheds to move from their original position. Port maintenance staff cordoned-off the severely
damaged area of the sheds to prevent access by the public. The damaged portion of the sheds
are in eminent danger of collapse and should be demolished immediately.
The nature of the demolition requires the expertise of a demolition contractor who is
experienced in the demolition of steel frame structures with pre-cast concrete panels. Port
maintenance staff is not experienced in performing this type of demolition work. Concurrent

with the demolition work, engineering services are required to assess the damage to the
structure to identify the scope of any additional demolition and to develop a repair design for
the building shell. Existing Port engineering resources are not currently available to perform
structural damage assessment and repair design. The building damage assessment, repair
design and subsequent construction will be competitively procured from outside contractors.
These measures will be taken under this emergency declaration to protect the life and safety
of Port tenants, the general public and Port employees.
Funds for these emergency contracts will be from insurance proceeds and the insurance
company has indicated it will advanced the Port $750,000. The estimated cost of demolition
is between $250,000 to $350,000. The estimated cost for the engineering services is
$200,000.
Until the engineering consultant has performed its work, the estimated cost of reconstruction
costs will not be known.
It is requested that an additional 10% in contingencies must be available for all contracts for
possible Type 1 contract modifications.

SUBJECT: Approval of travel for two Port representatives to the national Passenger
Cruise Convention at Miami, Florida, in accordance with the Port's Fiscal
Year 1996-97 budget.
DIRECTOR'S RECOMMENDATION: APPROVE THE TRAVEL AS BUDGETED.
An area of growth opportunity for the Port of San Francisco lies in the marketing of its
cruise facilities. Currently, spin-off revenues from cruise activity, at an average 50 calls
per year, contribute in excess of $14 million to local labor, tourism, and support
businesses throughout the City. Since 1994, the Port has dramatically increased the
annual number of passenger vessels and passengers. We need to continue to foster this
trend, and look forward to generating commercial interest in two new cruise markets:
1. An alternate homeport season outside of our traditional Alaska season (i.e. S.F./
Mexico winter itineraries), and
2. Coastal cruises, which will require legislative change.

The SEATRADE convention at Miami is the most widely recognized gathering of decision
makers in the cruise and ship repair industries. More passenger vessel owners and
operators have their corporate headquarters in Miami than in any other city in the world.
By sending two Port representatives to speak knowledgeably on how San Francisco's
facilities and location can benefit the passenger cruise market, we hope to attract additional
Port of call interest.
We have budgeted the following amounts for our current fiscal year to cover this activity.

2. APPROVAL OF MINUTES - December 10, 1996
ACTION: Commissioner Cook moved approval; Commissioner McCarthy seconded the

3. EXECUTIVE
A. Executive Director's Report: Mr. Bouey reported that the Annual Report is
completed and commended Carolyn Macmillan for a job well done.
Mr. Bouey stated that this is his last Port Commission meeting. He leaves the Port
sadly but delighted that in the last three years, staff put together two back-to-back
profitable years. As a measure of efficiency, the operating revenue per employee is
the highest in the history of the Port. With the exception of cargo, every maritime
business at the Port is up ~ fishing revenues are up 50%; cruise business in 1993 had
about 36,000 passengers; next year, we expect more than 85,000 cruise passengers.
Cargo, however, is on the rebound. The new strategy reflects the realities of today.
In 1993, the Port was in technical default with its bonds. It had a debt coverage of
1.0 and it needed 1.3. Today, the debt coverage stands at about 2.2, which is the
highest in the history of the Port.
Mr. Bouey mentioned that without the support of the Mayor's office and this
Commission, the Port could not have accomplished all that it accomplished in the last
few years. More importantly, without the hard work and dedication of the staff, the
Port wouldn't have accomplished what the Port has accomplished. He commended
staff for their hard work. He added that the Port's Planning staff is absolutely
M122096.igq _2.
incredible. The Waterfront EIR may be certified at the next Planning Commission
meeting. Port staff, including the City Attorney's staff, has been nothing short of
magnificent. He cannot express enough his gratitude and appreciation for their fine
work over the last three years.
He also mentioned that every decision and every recommendation brought to the Port
Commission in the last three years has been done out of respect for the Port and to
preserve its dignity. Moreover, it was done out of loyalty to the Port. Most
importantly, every recommendation to the Commission has been brought in the most
honest and forthright manner possible. Through the confluence of the Mayor, Port
Commission's support and the good work of staff, the Port is in better shape today
than it was three years ago. More importantly, the Port is poised for greatness.
When the development moratorium is lifted, we would be able to create a waterfront
that respects our maritime heritage, encourages those businesses and, at the same
time, will provide for those activities that will bring the people of San Francisco to
the waterfront.
B. Endorsement of the basic principles of the proposed Giants and the Port term sheet
for the ballpark. (Resolution No. 96-138)
Mr. Bouey stated that in March 1996, the voters of the City & County of San
Francisco approved Proposition B, which authorized a proposed development on Port
property for a new ballpark. The Port, with the Mayor's office, has recently
negotiated a term sheet with the Giants. The term sheet is an important step because
it covers a number of basic business terms of the proposed lease and provides the
frame work for the actions the Giants and the City agencies need to take for the site to
be assembled, entitlements to be granted, and complementary improvements to be
financed and built. The proposed term sheet is acceptable to the Giants and their
lenders. It is important to note that the proposed term sheet is not intended to be and
is not legally binding. Only after the environmental process has been completed and
after all necessary governmental approvals have been obtained may the City enter into
a binding agreement. He expects that over the next three or four months, the Port
and the Mayor's office will begin lease negotiations.
He then enumerated the basic principals of the proposed term sheet:
• The lease of the ballpark site will be to China Basin Ballpark Company (CBBC).
CBBC is a separate entity established and controlled by the Giants partnership
for the purpose of developing and operating the new ballpark. CBBC will be the
borrower from a lending syndicate of a $140 million private loan for construction
of the park, and CBBC will build the ballpark at its cost. Revenues from the
ballpark and complementary improvements will flow to CBBC, including
proceeds from the sale of charter seats, naming rights agreement, etc.
•
The lease is for a term of 25 years from delivery of the site to CBBC, which is
anticipated to occur in late summer or fall of 1997. The initial lease term

corresponds to 23 seasons of baseball at the new park. The lease potentially could
continue for a total of 66 years. The lease would include successive 5-year
renewal options at the end of the 25-year initial term.
The Giants franchise will enter into agreement directly with the City to play their
home games at the new ballpark for 23 seasons after the new ballpark opens.
The end of the term of the non-relocation agreement corresponds with the end of
the initial lease term.
CBBC will pay fair market rent to the Port. Full rent of $1.2 million per year
begins upon delivery of the site to CBBC. The City's Director of Property has
advised that the ground lease rent is well within the range of market rent for the
site, taking into account its existing physical, hazardous material and soil
conditions and applicable tidelands trust limitations. The rent is subject to certain
cost-of-living escalations. For the conclusion of three years, and for each of
those three years, the rent may be adjusted by the CPI for a maximum of 3
percent per year. Every three years thereafter, the rent will be adjusted by the
CPI for each year up to a maximum of 5 percent.
CBBC agrees to advance up to $500,000, at the City's option, for mutually
agreed-upon City transaction costs, such as staff and legal costs of preparing and
processing the lease documents. CBBC will get credit against rent for any such
advances, with interest at CBBC's actual cost of funds up to a maximum of
8.5% . The rent credit for such advances is capped at $75,000 per year. CBBC
also agrees to pay all costs and fees of entitling the project the same fees which
other developers would pay. There is no credit against the rent for these costs. It
is not anticipated that we would borrow the $500,000 from CBBC.
Available property tax increment generated by development on the ballpark site
may be used for a ballpark-related infrastructure as mutually agreed-upon.
CBBC agrees to provide certain assurances of repayment of Redevelopment
Agency tax increment debt for the ballpark-related infrastructure if the term of
the bonds exceeds the term of the lease or if possessory interest taxes from the
site are reduced below a level needed to service the indebtedness.
CBBC will remediate hazardous materials at the site as required by regulatory
bodies for the development of the ballpark. CBBC is also responsible for all
demolition, pier substructure and other site preparation costs.
The Port will be responsible for delivering the site free of the Port occupancies.
The Port will also be responsible for purchasing the parcel at Third and Berry,
which CalTrans owns and controls. The CalTrans parcel is expected to be
acquired through a negotiated agreement with the State. The Port's responsibility
for purchasing the CalTrans parcel and relocating the private tenants from the
property is limited to $4.1 million.

•
The schedule for the proposed ballpark project provides for site delivery in late
summer or fall of 1997 and an April 2000 opening.
• CBBC agrees, at the Port's option, to demolish the improvements and return the
site to the Port in developable condition at the end of the lease term if CBBC
does not exercise at least two 5-year options at the end of the minimum term, for
a total lease term of at least 33 baseball seasons.
It is the Mayor's intention to sign the term sheet, subject to the Commission's
endorsement. It is anticipated that the final lease will be presented to the Port
Commission and Board of Supervisors in June or July of next year, consistent with
the principles outlined in the term sheet. Staff has worked hard on this term sheet and
believed that it represents a fair deal for the Port.
Commissioner Cook thanked Mr. Bouey and Julie Van Nostern for the successful
negotiations on behalf of the Port and the City. Commissioner Cook mentioned that
he was concerned about the market rate deal for the Port but in reading the term
sheet, he is confident that it is a fair market rate deal. Commissioner Lee echoed
Commissioner Cook's comments. He welcomed the Giants to play ball at Port
property. Commissioner McCarthy stated that she had deep concerns on how the Port
would come out of this negotiation. She commended Mr. Bouey and Ms. Van
Nostern' s for their efforts. Commissioner Hardeman stated that we have a mandated
two thirds of the voters of this City wanting a ballpark at that location. Under all
these pressures, staff was able to cut a good deal. The Commission feels that Mr.
Bouey, Ms. Van Nostern and the rest of the staff did a fantastic job. He added that
the Mayor and Rudy Nothenberg went on a limb to meet all their concerns and we
owe them thanks. The lease is not finalized yet but we are on the road to playing ball
there. He thanked everyone for all their hard work,
ACTION: Commissioner Lee moved approval; Commissioner Cook seconded the
motion. All of the Commissioners were in favor; the resolution was
adopted.
C. Informational Presentation on the Waterfront Land Use Plan - Joint Staff
Recommendations for Public Review and Comment by the Port, Bay Conservation
and Development Commission, and Save San Francisco Bay Association.
Mr. Bouey stated that the Waterfront Plan was developed and recommended to the
Port Commission by the Waterfront Plan Advisory Board. The Waterfront EIR will
now be certified in a couple of weeks. Subsequent to that, the Port Commission may
adopt the Plan at which time the development moratorium imposed by Proposition H
would then be lifted. Early on it was realized it was not enough to have a plan but to
implement it in the most viable way. The Port Commission amended the plan to
require urban design guidelines in a public access element. The Port created a
Technical Advisory Committee to review and advise the development of an Urban
Design and Public Access guidelines. This committee is made up of highly respected
M122096.igq
members in the design profession and representatives from the Planning Department,
Bay Conservation and Development Commission (BCDC), Waterfront Plan Advisory
Board, and Save San Francisco Bay Association. This element will define a
comprehensive urban design vision which identifies locations and types of public
access and open space areas and views, historic preservation policies, and
architecmral standards to ensure that we get quality developments in the waterfront.
The Port begun negotiations with State Lands in terms of what policies should be
enforced as the Port moves forward. At the same time, the Port negotiated an MOU
with the Department of City Planning for the purposes of negotiating amendments to
the Master Plan and Zoning changes so the Waterfront Plan could be implemented.
Lastly, the Port signed an MOU with BCDC to sit down and discuss a number of
issues that serve the needs of BCDC, their constituents as well as serve the needs of
the Port. A conclusion has been reached and today Will Travis and he will sign the
MOU. The Waterfront Advisory Board was advised of the result of the negotiation
and was warmly received. It was next presented to the Planning Commission. He
expects that in the very near future, there will be joint Commission meetings between
the Port and BCDC, invite the public and discuss the issues. He expects that what is
presented today will be examined carefully but the essence of it will continue
forward. BCDC has their commitments and obligations to provide meaningful public
access, provide reduction in bay fill. He, Will Travis and Save the Bay put together a
document that will serve as the basis of discussions that will allow the Waterfront
Plan to move forward in the most successful way. He noted that they have come up
with a framework with such a plan that will allow San Francisco to revitalize its
waterfront.
The following are the key elements of the agreement:
• Pier Removal - the removal of Piers 34 and 36 to create a public open space and
more open water; the removal of Pier 24 as part of new development of Piers 26
and 28; and the removal of most of Pier 33 to create a larger expanse of open
water between Piers 31 and 35. In addition, the creation of more open water area
is recommended in the Pier 15-29 area; this area is designated a Special Study
Area, subject to a separate specific plaiming effort to determine the location of
additional open water, public access and views prior to approval of new
development.
• Creation of New Large Public Plazas - the creation of a central Plaza in
Fisherman's Wharf on approximately 70% of the site, with an underground
garage, financed from revenue receipts from retail development on the remaining
30% of the site and the parking garage. In addition, two other large public open
spaces would be created in the South Beach area ("Brannan Street Green"
involving removal of Piers 34 and 36).
• Public Access on Piers - in addition to the public plazas, new development
M122096.igq .5.
•
projects on individual piers would be required to dedicate 25 % of the pier area to
public access. It is expected that new development on larger piers will require a
greater amount of public access.
Land Uses on Piers - the Port's piers would be assigned to one of four categories,
based on the physical condition of the facility: Category 1 (Excellent); Category
2 (Good); Category 3 (Fair); and Category 4 (Poor). Projects on Categories. 1 and
2 would be treated as within BCDC's Shoreline Band jurisdiction.
Historic Preservation - Many of the bulkhead buildings and piers appear to be
potentially eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places.
• Joint BCDC/Port/City Design Review Committee - the purpose of the committee
would be to review development projects in a single, integrated process where
the various design objectives can be discussed and jointly reviewed. It would be
our hope that this committee's recommendation would be the staff's
recommendation to the Port Commission. BCDC and Port staff will staff this
committee.
Aside from the process outlined today. Chapter 5 of the Waterfront Plan has an
implementation chapter which requires for developments that a public body be
assembled to advise the Port. In addition, the EIR that will be certified in the next
week or so is a programmatic EIR for the Waterfront Plan. Each project will have its
own specific EIR. This agreement serves not only the Port well but also serves the
needs of BCDC but more importantly, serves the needs of the people of San Francisco
and the bay area. He thanked Marc Holmes, the negotiator from Save the Bay. Mr.
Holmes brought a vision and acumen and was also very helpful in the negotiations.
He also thanked Will Travis and his staff.
Nunzio Alioto mentioned that they just recently saw the Waterfront Land Use
proposal. He addressed the triangular parking lot issue. He hopes that in the future
the merchants in the Fisherman's Wharf area are invited to participate in the
discussions and ultimately the final plan. Mr. Bouey stated that representatives from
Fisherman's Wharf will be involved. Communications have commenced a month ago
with the representative of the Fisherman's Wharf Merchants Association, Al Baccari.
He noted that Port tenants will be invited to participate.
Jane Morrison stated that she liked the idea of public access and open views of the
water that this plan is presenting. She urged that any new development be
concentrated on maritime, fishing and for purposes that have to be on the water. She
inquired how binding the agreement would be. Mr. Bouey responded that this is just
a framework to begin discussions to come up with an MOU that everyone will sign.
He's sure that there will be a clause that would allow either side to adjust the rules if
necessary.
Will Travis, Executive Director of BCDC, stated that he keeps finding things in the
M122096.igq .7.
agreement that are just wonderful. The negotiations were difficult but what they
found was they had common goals. They looked at new ways of achieving what all
the parties wanted to achieve. The basic provision of the agreement is to remove old
piers. There will be wonderful, new public plazas. There will be public access on
any new development on the piers. Priority will be given to maritime use at the Port
and preservation of the Port's wonderful historic character. Opportunities for vibrant
waterfront development will be provided. The permit process will be streamlined.
Ample opportunities for public input will be provided. He offered his full
endorsement for this agreement. The notion of joint public hearings is one that he
would like to move forward. He concluded that in the signing of this document
today, the Port is poised no more, greatness starts today.
Commissioner Herman stated that the objectives set forth is sound provided that this
new scheme does not become a vehicle to speed up development to a point where
control slips from the hands of those who have to have it. He thinks that the
development process in the City is so cumbersome and time consuming. He hopes
that we don't create a development arrangement where we eliminate safeguards and
where there are rationale constraints on developers so that there is a very clear and
full understanding as to precisely what the agreement is. If we simply zero in on the
propriety and if we simply concentrate on expediting development, we have to add a
third ingredient that is spelled out in no uncertain terms and there is some way of
carefully monitoring and evaluating of establishing rules that protect against
indiscriminate development in the name of creating open space. He made it clear that
while we have one arrangement today, he is not in favor of allowing that to become
the rationale for streamlining the process. He urged that there be consideration,
discussion and precise understandings about the limitation and the importance of
carefully policing every single thing that is done where changes are made especially
for purposes of speeding up the process but not opening a door for what was not or is
not to be intended.
Mr. Bouey agreed with Commissioner Herman and stated that his concerns were
addressed through the agreement and the Waterfront Plan. The Commission's
Waterfront Plan requires the creation of public body to advise the Port on each of the
projects. Mr. Bouey and Mr. Travis then signed the MOU.
4. LEGISLATIVE
5. TENANT & MARITIME SERVICES
A. Approval of Telecommunications Policy, Siting Guidelines and Standard
Telecommunications Lease. (Resolution No. 96-123)
Mr. Bouey stated that at the November 12 Port Commission meeting, a representative
from City Planning made a presentation on Policy Guidelines for Wireless
Telecommunication Services. From the work done by Planning, Port staff put
together a policy for siting these antennas and other fixtures. He then introduced Paul
M122096.igq .g.
I
Osmundson and requested him to present the highlights of the policy.
Mr. Paul Osmundson indicated that staff took the policy developed by the Planning
Department and took parts of it that they did not believe were applicable to Port
projects. The vast majority of it, however, was intact. Basic issues covered in the
policy include: policies and guidelines on land use, urban design, health and safety,
community development, building siting criteria including visual impact, minimizing
noise and others. They have also prepared a set of standard lease conditions that
would allow Tenant & Maritime Services Division to negotiate leases that were in
conformance with the standard lease form. Mr. Bouey pointed out that the
Commission received a substimte sheet for Attachment 1, wherein the number of
antennas connected to the back up equipment would be 12, instead of 9.
ACTION: Commissioner Cook moved approval of the resolution, as amended;
Commissioner Lee seconded the motion. All of the Commissioners
were in favor; the resolution was adopted.
B. Consent to wireless telecommunication services (WTS) use at Pier 39 (Resolution No.
96-124)
Mr. Bouey stated that Pier 39 intends to install a WTS facility on its parking garage.
Since this is not an accepted use in their current lease with the Port, staff has
negotiated a separate rental agreement wherein the Port will receive 30% of the
revenue received by Pier 39 for this facility. It is anticipated that the current rent
would be $3,000.00 per month.
In response to Commissioner McCarthy's inquiry of how the 30% share of the Port
was derived, Mr. Bouey responded that since the current rent structure cannot serve
as a model, staff believed that since Pier 39 maintains the facility and entered into the
relationship with the company, 30% is more than fair rent for allowing them to have
this additional use.
ACTION: Commissioner Cook moved approval; Commissioner Lee seconded the
motion. All of the Commissioners were in favor; the resolution was
adopted.
C. Approval of Marine Terminal Agreement for Maruba S.C.A. for use of Pier 94/96.
(Resolution No. 96-135)
Mr. Bouey stated Maruba has been a long-time tenant of the Port. They offer service
to Latin America. The Port has concluded negotiations for another five-year term for
use of Pier 94/96, subject to the same provisions in the last two cargo agreements.
Expected revenue for the agreement is approximately $100,000 from wharfage,
dockage and crane rental.
ACTION: Commissioner Lee moved approval; Commissioner McCarthy seconded
the motion. All of the Commissioners were in favor; the resolution was
M122096.igq .9.
adopted.
Commissioner Herman stated that a lease with Mission Valley Rock Company has
been executed without the Commission being aware of it or being consulted. He is
perplexed as to why a five-year lease has been signed by the Port. He knows that
other companies have been waiting for that space. He understands that Mission
Valley Rock Company is a tide water, sand and gravel company and it operates
adjacent to Pier 92. Leasing parameters were adopted by the Port Commission in
1993 that allow for the signing of these leases within a very precise framework. This
lease is not within that framework. He then requested a copy of the lease. Mission
Valley Rock Company has a $.10 per sq. ft. arrangement. He would like his
questions answered at the next meeting so that the Commission is ftilly comfortable
with the operations at that site. Pier 92 is one of the most desirable piers for marine
facilities remaining at the waterfront. It has rail access and it is on a deep water
channel. It has access to Highways 101 and 280. Conmiissioner Herman reiterated
his request that the Real Estate Director provide the Commission full documentation
as to what was done to certify the financial viability of the company as well as the
company's history. He believes that this matter should not be permitted to proceed
until the parameters adopted by the Commission in 1993 are strictly adhered to.
Commissioner Hardeman inquired if Mr. Bouey or Mr. Wiseman is prepared to
respond on this matter. Mr. Bouey replied that staff will respond to Commissioner
Herman's request at the next meeting. He concurred with Commissioner Herman that
in 1993, the Port Commission adopted a policy in establishing market rents. Those
market rents are resurveyed each year and brought back to the Commission for their
approval. He also concurred with Commissioner Herman that if for any reason a
project or a lease does not meet those parameters, it is brought to the Commission for
the approval. If it meets those parameters, staff is empowered to sign the contract
and the Commission gets a report of the signed leases at the end of the month. As it
turns out, the market for unpaved land south of China Basin is $. 10. Tidewater has
been a tenant for a number of years at the Port. Subsequent to Tidewater, the Port
had a contract with Chasm and now with Mission Valley Rock. With regards to
others wanting to lease the property, we have more sites and if those entities are
willing to pay the minimum leasing rent, staff is happy to meet with them.
Commissioner Herman stated that the Commission should evaluate the uses of all of
Pier 90. It has always been a dry cargo facility. With the advice of the Counsel,
Commissioner Hardeman requested Commissioner Herman to conclude his remarks
since this item is not publicly noticed. Commissioner Hardeman suggested that
Commissioner Herman meet with staff to address his concerns and the item will then
be calendared upon his request. Commissioner Herman inquired if any work now in
progress be held in abeyance until the Commission gives its seal of approval. Mr.
Bouey stated that the lease has been signed and it meets the leasing parameters.
Commissioner Hardeman interjected and stated that since this item is not calendared,
the Commission does not have the authority to act on this item.
M122096.igq .\Q.
D. Approval of lease with Peer Inn, Inc. for the Peer Inn Restaurant at Pier 33
(Resolution No. 96-132)
Mr. Bouey stated that for 37 years, George and Ann Papadakis have operated the
Peer Inn Restaurant at Pier 33. The current monthly base rent is $2730.20 a month
and they have applied to renegotiate their lease under the Port's retail policy. The
tenant must be in good standing committed to making a significant capital investment
which is supported by a sound business plan and that the tenancy must be in the best
economic interest available and the tenant must have a good record of affirmative
action. With regard to good standing. Peer Inn has a consistent history of compliance
with the obligation of its existing lease. With regard to a sound business plan, Peer
Inn proposes to renovate and reposition the restaurant as a full service Greek
restaurant. The concept is to create a comfortable, open design restaurant which will
offer fresh and healthful Greek cuisine. The business plan includes investing
$500,000 in the renovation of the restaurant and engaging a management group with
extensive experience developing and operating San Francisco restaurants. The
Papadakis family will remain the owners of Peer Inn, Inc. Port staff has determined
that the market base rent per month on the Northern Waterfront is in the range of $2-
$3. Peer Inn has agreed to pay an initial monthly base rent of $2.80 per sq. ft.
Under the new plan, the restaurant is envisioned to generate average sales of
$200,000 per month following the renovation. Port staff has determined that Peer Inn
has a good affirmative action record in employment, purchasing and contracting. The
new lease further requires that not less than 30% of the construction costs expended
by Peer Inn for its tenant improvements would inure to the benefit of bonafide MBE,
WBE or DBE enterprises certified by the S.F. Human Rights Conmiission. The
premise is 3,538 sq. ft. The lease is a nine-year term, conmiencing 150 days
following the date that the tenant obtains all required regulatory approvals. It is a
full-service restaurant. The initial base rent is $9,906.40 per month. The tenant is
responsible for all maintenance to the premises, including the exterior, but excluding
the roof and the pier substructure.
Commissioner Herman stated that there are other facilities on the waterfront, most
notably Pier One Deli, who also deserve longer term leases. He inquired what is
going to be done for them. Mr. Bouey stated that staff has begun discussions with
Pier One Deli. There are other restaurants that are a little problematic but staff is
working on them as quickly as possible and bring it to the Conmiission for approval.
Commissioner Herman inquired as to any anticipated time frame with respect to Pier
One Deli and others. Mr. Bouey replied that Pier One Deli should be before the
Commission relatively soon.
Mr. Mike Wilmar stated that he has known every Port Director that San Francisco
has had for the last twenty years. He acknowledged that Dennis Bouey is the best
Port Director that San Francisco has had in all the times that he has been associated
with the Port. He is not without his flaws but he is fair, tough and reasonable, when
it counts. The turnaround in the Port's balance sheet and the agreement signed this
morning are superb examples of all those qualities. He stated that Mr. Bouey will be
M122096.igq .H.
deeply missed by the City and our loss is Philadelphia's gain and wished him well.
ACTION: Commissioner Herman moved approval; Commissioner Lee seconded
the motion. All of the Commissioners were in favor; the resolution was
adopted.
6. FACILITIES & OPERATIONS
7. PLANNING & DEVELOPMENT
A. Approval of 60 Berth Hyde Street Fishing Harbor proposed project, authorize
expenditure of loan funds from the California Department of Boating and Waterways
and adopt Environmental Review and Project Approval Findings. (Resolution No.
96-136)
Mr. Bouey stated that the EIR has been certified. Staff is very excited about this
project. It is going to attract more fishing boats to the Fisherman's Wharf area. It is
going to clean up the environment, the water. Staff is asking for a notice of
determination which will allow the Port to move forward with the project. Staff has
already issued an RFP for design services. The total cost for the Hyde Street Fishing
Harbor is estimated at $4.5 million. The Port has obtained a loan from the California
Department of Boating and Waterways for $3.5 million, with Port operating funds
supplying the remainder of the project budget.
Commissioner McCarthy commented that she is very pleased with this project. Port
staff has put in a lot of hard work over the years, especially in the last couple of
years.
Sal Tarantino indicated that they wholeheartedly support the Hyde Street Fishing
Harbor. He indicated that they currently lease seven parking spaces from the Port.
He wanted some assurance from the Port that they would be able to continue leasing
the parking spaces when the project is finished.
Brad Bergline, representing hunself, friends of Aquatic Park and all the recreational
water users in the area, urged the Commission to vote no on this project. The
construction of additional berths is unnecessary. The Port and the Planning
Commission have been unable to quantify the need for these additional needs given
the fact that the current harbor, under strict management, is underutilized. Water
quality has not been addressed at all by the Port or by the EIR. He claims that the
EIR falsely states that boats do not create pollution. Additional berths in this area
will become another source of pollution. In the last ten days, there have been two
serious oil spills emanating from the area. He asked that this project be stripped of
all the berthing because it is unnecessary. There are no mitigation plans mentioned.
The dredging site is not addressed as well. The funding of this project is totally
inappropriate since the funds from the Dept. of Boating and Waterways are
supposedly reserved for recreational use. Changes in the project have not been
M122096.igq .J2-
addressed as well. He remarked that this project needs further review and urged the
Commission to vote no on this item.
Mr. Bouey stated that this project has been a long time coming. Port staff has spent
an inordinate amount of time on this project. Changes were made to the project in
response to public comments. In addition, the Commission has been responsive by
setting up an environmental advisory group, staffed it, funded it and committed to
funding projects. Without a doubt, this project will lead to increase water quality.
Commissioner Herman inquired if Mr. Tarantino's request for parking can be
accommodated. Mr. Bouey replied that staff will take a look at the situation and will
pass it onto the new Executive Director, Doug Wong, for his consideration.
ACTION: Commissioner Cook moved approval; Commissioner McCarthy
seconded the motion. All of the Commissioners were in favor; the
resolution was adopted.
B. Guidelines for review and approval of Signs and Murals on Port property. (Resolution
No. 96-137). THIS ITEM WAS PUT OVER TO THE NEXT MEETING.
8. ADMINISTRATION
A. Presentation of Fiscal Year 1997/1998 Operating Budget. THIS ITEM WAS PUT
OVER TO THE NEXT MEETING.
9. SPECIAL ITEM
Commissioner Cook mentioned that according to the San Francisco's Sunshine Ordinance,
the Commission is authorized to make a purely camaraderie action. He moved approval
to make a presentation; Commissioner McCarthy seconded the motion. All of the
Commissioners were in favor.
Commissioner Cook stated that Mr. Bouey has performed admirably during his tenure as
Executive Director of the Port of San Francisco. He has led the Port from a time in 1993
of a budget deficit, low morale and high expenses to a current surplus, a highly efficient
staff and a waterfront all San Franciscans can be proud of. Commissioner Cook added
that Mr. Bouey will be missed as Port Director. Mr. Bouey has shown a leadership
quality that has led to well over 100 new tenants, both commercial and maritime and
corresponding higher revenues. He has successfully negotiated the Waterfront Plan that
will create an environment of open and public space allowing for more access to the
waterfront. He is leaving this Port in significantly better shape than when he began his
tenure just three years ago. He then presented a "maritime" clock to Mr. Bouey in
recognition for an outstanding job.
Commissioner Lee read Resolution 96-141 (a copy of which is on file with the
Commission Secretary). He also presented Mr. Bouey the "Order of Maritime Merit with
M122096.igq _13_
1
the Rank of Admiral" plaque.
Mr. Bouey reiterated his earlier comments of support from the Commission and staff's
hard work and commitment. He thanked the Commission and indicated that he was very
touched by their gift and by the sentiment contained in plaque.
Commissioner McCarthy indicated that as a junior member of the Commission, she has
not had a lot of time dealing with Mr. Bouey. She remarked that they haven't always
agreed but she had genuinely enjoyed the give and take they have undertaken. It has made
a difference in the waterfront plaiming process.
Commissioner Lee conmiented that he enjoyed the last two and a half years working with
Mr. Bouey. He is a man of high integrity. Every decision he has made is in the best
interest of the Port. He is a loyal employee to the Port, the Commission and the City. He
is hardworking and his best act was to take very high quality senior staff. He promised
that staff and the Commission will continue the fine work, the foundation Mr. Bouey has
built, established and accomplished.
Commissioner Herman complunented Mr. Bouey and wished him good luck.
Commissioner Hardeman indicated that he worked with Mr. Bouey longer than anyone
else in the room. They go back in the 1970's during the labor movement. He mentioned
that Mr. Bouey was the brightest labor leader at the time. He would have been the leader
of labor if not in San Francisco, in the State of California. Commissioner Hardeman stated
that he will miss the friendship. He indicated that one of the reasons he came to the Port
Commission was his association with Mr. Bouey. Their friendship never interfered in
their decision making. They both did what they felt was right. He concurred with
everything that was said about Mr. Bouey. Mr. Bouey has tremendous integrity and he's
sorry to see him leave and thanked him for everything he has done.

11. NEW BUSINESS / PUBLIC COMMENT
Bill Fiore reported that with regard to H&N Fish issue at Pier 45, HRC is currently
investigating the simation. He hopes that at the next meeting there is a solution to this
problem and some finding by the HRC.
Diane Oshima, Port employee, expressed her appreciation to Dennis Bouey for all the
work he has done on behalf of the Port. She stated that Mr. Bouey has shown great
dignity and integrity in all of the work that he has done. Ms. Oshima indicated that she
will continue to be impressed by the honesty, forthrightness and the respect he has shown
in all matters he had dealt with. She saluted his tenacity, willingness to roll up his sleeve,
get to the heart of the matter and deal with the hard issues to bring about real change at
the Port. She indicated that all his accomplishments were capitalized by the MOU with
BCDC and Save the Bay. She stated that the Port would not be able to celebrate these
accomplishments without the work that he has done. She added that through Mr. Bouey 's
actions, inspired staff to strive for excellence in the best interest of the Port. The Port
has made great strides in showing to the City that the Port is taking very serious
responsibility for its public trust responsibilities and bringing the public to a greater
understanding of what the Port is actually about. Mr. Bouey was willing to meet with the
community, willing to answer their questions in a very forthright and honest manner and
that will bring a very long standing impact at the Port and the City. She regrets that Mr.
Bouey is leaving and that his departure is particularly bad timing. Mr. Bouey has been
instrumental in defining of what the vision of the waterfront would be. She concluded that
