Port of San Francisco

Pier 70 Master Plan


Planning History

• Port through Citizen Advisory Group has been working on a Plan for Pier 70 since 2000

• In 2005 EDAW an internationally recognized Landscape Architecture and Planning firm through its Summer Intern Program developed a Pier 70 Concept Vision Plan

• Port reinitiated Master Planning process based upon the momentum of EDAW program

Pier 70 Master Plan


Master Planning Team

• Since Last Year Port has retained three Consultant Teams to assist Port Staff in Developing a Master Plan, teams include:

• Carey & Company who are assisting in the the Historical analysis;

• Economic Planning Systems Team, including Roma Design Group who are assisting in the Economic and Master Planning; and

• Treadwell & Rollo who are assisting in the Environmental analysis;

Pier 70 Master Plan


Site Overview

• Approximately 65-acres

• Approximately 40 Historic Structures Potentially eligible for National Register of Historic Places

• Area has been operating as a Ship Building or Ship Repair Facility since mid-1800’s

• Home to Largest Ship Repair Dry-dock on West coast of Americas

• Ideal Site for Major Waterfront Open Space

Pier 70 Master Plan


Master Plan Goals

• Preserve existing Ship Repair Operations

• Rehabilitate important Historic Resources

• Develop Major Shoreline Open Space

• Conduct Environmental Remediation/Clean Up

• Develop Economically Viable Land Use Program

Pier 70 Master Plan


Site & Development Challenges• The Historic Resources are severely deteriorated

•The development Community is reticent about pursuing development without a Master Plan for the entire site

•Public Trust use Criteria, as currently interpreted by the

State Lands Commission are restrictive and limit uses that are required to pay for site improvements

•The 150+ years of Heavy Industrial uses has created a brownfields site, which will require significant funding for investigation, mitigation and clean up

•Pier 70 infrastructure is old and will require complete upgrades

Pier 70 Master Plan


Master Plan Status - Historic Analysis• Carey & Company is assisting Port staff in:

• research and documentation of Pier 70’s site history, including the activities that took place;

• complete survey of all historic structures;

• resource data base of all facilities;

• detailed resource description;

• ranking of the resources; and

• a Historic Context Statement;

• Information will be used as a framework for the Master Plan and for nomination of National Register Historic District, if deemed appropriate.

Pier 70 Master Plan


Master Plan Status - Historic Analysis• It is generally recognized that given location and physical condition of the historic resources and other Master Planning needs, it will not be economically or physically feasible to save all facilities;

•The facilities have been ranked for Historical Significance, including: - Very Significant: The most important resources because of their substantial historical and/or architectural value; - Significant: Notable structures or features; - Contributing: Resources that contribute to the district, that are not individually eligible or distinctive, the loss of which could have a cumulative impact on the integrity of the district; - To Be Determined: Analysis incomplete and still under consideration; - Non-Contributing: These structures either postdate the period of significance, or lack historic integrity.

Master Plan Status - Historic Analysis• Context Statement is the account of the historical significance that is the basis for a listing on National Register of Historic Places;

- Pier 70 Context is based upon Historic Ship Building Activity and the Architectural/Engineering Significance

Next Steps• Meeting with State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) this Thursday,

- introduce SHPO to site,- outline approach to redevelop site - seek guidance on listing of site on

National Register- discuss approaches and options for use of

Federal Rehabilitation Tax Credits

Master Plan Status – Environmental Analysis

• Treadwell & Rollo is assisting Port staff in:

• Site Investigation & Sampling;

• Development of a Remediation Plan for the Crane Cove Shoreline area; and

• Create a database of all previous environmental investigations within Pier 70;

• Soil and Sediment Sampling Complete

• Preliminary Review indicate soil samples have elevated levels of lead at concentrations requiring removal or capping to preclude human exposure;

• Additional data and interpretation will be completed during the subsequent human health and ecological risk assessment;

Master Plan Status – Master Planning• Economic Planning Systems Team, including ROMA Design Group is assisting Port staff in:

• Master Planning

• Market Assessment

• Economic Feasibility Analysis

• Development Phasing & Implementation

• EPS Team is working closely with Carey & Company on integration of the Historic Resource analysis and preservation priorities and Treadwell & Rollo on Environmental Analysis

Pier 70 Master Plan


Master Plan Status – Master Planning• Economic Planning Systems Team has:

• Reviewed Background Analysis and Past Plans, Studies and development proposals

• Developed an initial Draft Development Framework based upon Carey & Company analysis; and historical influences

• Development Framework includes:- Preserve as many structures as feasible

with priorities on Most Significant;

- Preserve and recognize “key” vacant areas or circulation hubs

- Maintain character of historical build out and massing of site

Master Plan Status – Master PlanningMarket Opportunities and Constraints- The ongoing operations of the shipyard require that new uses be compatible with maritime industrial activities;

- The historic buildings and character of Pier 70 are essential to its identity; - The costs for the reuse of Pier 70 are substantial, and will require a land use program that creates substantial value to help finance those costs; - A strong market opportunity for the reuse of Pier 70 stems from its proximity to the emerging biosciences at Mission Bay;

Pier 70 Master Plan


Master Plan Status – Master PlanningMarket Opportunities and Constraints- Cont.d

- Residential uses are not a priority on the site, due to the constraints of the tidelands trust, although there is an upland site that could generate significant revenue;

-There is demand for Light Industrial and Production Distribution and Repair (PDR) uses in the Pier 70 area, however, it is unlikely to generate needed revenues; - The Pier 70 site has the potential to support a limited amount of retail/commercial activity; and

- Visitor serving, institutional uses, such as a museum, arts/film center, or exhibition complex are potentially viable uses.

Master Plan Coordination with BAE SF Dry-dock

- Lease Amendment Requires BAE to develop Facilities Master Plan

- Facility Master Plan requires BAE to develop Plan to vacate 2.5 acre “reversion area”

- Requires BAE to coordinate with Port on Pier 70 Master Planning Process

Pier 70 Master Plan


Master Plan Public Outreach

- Use Port’s Central Waterfront Advisory Group for monthly (or as needed) updates on status of effort

- Conduct Community Workshops at Key stages in Master Plan effort

- Use other Neighborhood or interest Groups to conduct outreach and receive input, such as Dog Patch Neighborhood Association, Potrero Boosters, Blue Greenway, Green Trust and Architectural Heritage

- Use SPUR’s various Forums to solicit input

- Use of ULI or other development forums to solicit developer feedback on feasibility, as Plan is developed

Pier 70 Master Plan


Master Plan – Next Steps

- Conduct First Community Workshop in Late July on Existing Conditions and Development Framework;

- Develop Land Use Alternative Scenarios for Review & Input

- Coordinate with State Lands Commission on approach to rectify State Tidelands Trust Issues
