A
A
You,
madam
clerk,
and
for
the
record
we
hope
to
be
joined,
joined
shortly
by
other
council
members,
especially
those
in
districts
three
and
six,
but
but
all
council
is
welcome
and
they
hopefully
will
be
joining
us
shortly.
First
order
of
business
is
an
introduction
by
members
of
city
planning,
department,
kate,
regas
and
corey
lehmann,
and
a
presentation
by
the
university
of
pittsburgh
representatives
joined
joining
us
today
and
then
following
that
will
be
testimony
from
our
registered
speakers.
C
Thank
you
good
afternoon.
One
technical
item:
it
looks
like
michael
costco
and
rachel
o'neill,
who
are
representing
the
university
of
pittsburgh,
are
still
on
the
sort
of
waiting
list.
I
think
they
were
intended
to
be
speakers
as
part
of
the
presentation
for
the
university.
C
So
thank
you.
This
is
an
application
for
a
new
institutional
master
plan
for
the
university
of
pittsburgh.
It's
included
in
the
existing
educational,
medical
institution,
zoning
district
emi.
It's
not
a
proposed
expansion
of
that
zoning.
District
city
planning
commission
held
a
public
hearing
on
this
institutional
master
plan
back
on
april
20th
of
this
year,
and
they
made
a
positive
recommendation
to
city
council
and
we
have
mailed
notice
to
a
budding
property
owners
within
150
feet
of
this
application
21
days
in
advance
of
this
hearing,
as
required
by
the
zoning
code.
C
D
Great,
thank
you.
We're
still
getting
our
speakers
lined
up
around
some
technical
difficulties
are,
and
my
name
is
owen
cooks,
I'm
the
assistant
vice
chancellor
for
planning,
design
and
real
estate
for
the
university
of
pittsburgh.
Joining
me
is
mary
beth
mcgrew,
the
associate
vice
chancellor
of
planning,
design
and
real
estate.
I'm
also
speaking
today
will
be
paul,
supowitz,
lina,
distillio
and
jamie
ducar
from
our
community
and
government
relations
office.
Let
me
just
do
a
sound
check.
Beth.
Are
you
able
to
hear
us
now.
E
D
Okay,
great
all
right,
so
I'm
going
to
share
my
screen
with
the
presentation
that
we
submitted
bear
with
me
a
moment.
While
I
get
out
of
this
mode,
get
backed
up
to
the
top.
C
D
Great
so
on
the
agenda
today
we're
going
to
give
a
background
kind
of
an
overview
of
the
imp,
the
development
sites
and
then
there's
quite
a
bit
of
supporting
documentation
that
goes
into
an
imp
that
surrounds
all
of
those
development
sites.
We'll
be
spending
some
time
going
through
that
and
then,
of
course,
we
can
take
any
q
a
if
you
like.
E
E
D
F
Or
just
very
briefly,
I
wanted
to
give
a
high
level
over
overview
here
that
you
know
the
university
is
a
large
economic
generator
and
engine
for
the
city
and
the
region
with
an
annual
economic
impact
over
4.2
billion.
I
think
you
know
well
over
870
million
dollars
in
outside
research
funding
that
comes
in
and
cycles
throughout
the
western
pa
economy.
You
can
see
the
other
numbers
there
about.
F
You
know
startup
companies
formation,
which
has
really
picked
up
in
recent
years
prior
to
the
pandemic
and
as
well
as
the
the
direct
jobs
and
indirect
jobs
and
the
presence
of
pit
pit
alumni
in
in
allegheny
county.
F
We've
also
initiated
a
number
of
programs,
and
these
are
just
a
couple
four
examples.
You
know
a
program
with
the
pittsburgh
public
schools
that
gear
the
pittsburgh
scholars
program
that
guarantees
the
valedictorians
and
salutatorians
in
our
pittsburgh
high
schools,
admission
to
one
of
the
pitt
campuses
and
providing
financial
support
there
as
well.
You
know:
we've
been
identified
recently
as
a
innovation
and
economic
press
supporter
with
a
innovation
and
economic
prosperity
place
award
from
apou
recognizing
our
work
in
the
community
and
social
and
cultural
development
work.
F
You
know,
we've
worked
hard
on
our
community
engagement
center
initiative
over
the
last
few
years
and
that
continues
to
to
bear
fruit.
I
think
around
the
city,
so
without
belaboring
it
we.
You
know
we
really
are
heavily
engaged
in
in
the
city
and
working
closely
with
with
our
elected
officials,
and
look
forward
to
continuing
that
great.
D
Thanks
paul
we're
gonna
go
back
to
beth
now
to
give
a
little
preface
on
the
plan,
talk
about
mission
and
vision
as
well
as
some
of
the
needs.
The
institution
identified
through
the
planning
process.
E
As
we've
all
known,
we
had
to
experience
thus
our
electronic
communication.
Right
now
the
university
will
engage,
has
engaged
with
the
community
and
participates
in
the
city's
approval
process.
The
city's
been
most
helpful
in
the
planning
department
in
our
discussions
with
them,
and
we
know
that
these
sites
are
balancing
flexibility
and
accountability
to
a
public
process.
Next.
E
Slide
so
our
mission,
obviously
we
want
to
educate
a
diverse
group
of
students
and
it's
it's
very
wonderful
in
pittsburgh,
how
the
history
of
the
city
and
the
immigrants
and
the
universities,
nationality
rooms,
set
a
nice
platform
for
beginning
a
diverse
student
student
body
and
broad
realms
of
experiences
coming
onto
campus.
E
E
We
want
to
meet
our
strategic
goals
with
advancing
educational
knowledge,
engaging
in
research
of
impact
that
strengthens
our
communities.
We
want
to
promote
diversity
and
inclusion.
We
want
to
embrace
the
world
and
build
foundational
strength,
their
broad
generic
goals.
But
it's
interesting
when
you
go
to
make
a
specific
decision
to
keep
those
big
ideas
in
mind.
E
It
helps
folks
to
take
the
high
road
and,
to
always
remember
what
we're
here,
for
our
imp
goals
specifically
around
to
provide
for
flexible
growth,
to
support
the
student
experience
and
really
important
to
identify
opportunities,
because
we
are
nothing
but
of
the
city
to
identify
opportunities
for
neighborhood
enhancement.
Thank
you
back
to
you,
paul.
E
So
we
have
a
loose
parameter
of
growth.
We
anticipate
something
between
five
and
ten
percent
over
the
next
ten
years.
We
don't
expect
to
see
it
all
at
once,
and
we
have
some
a
few
select
programs,
for
example
the
undergraduate
degree
in
in
public
health,
those
kinds
of
programs
where
we
may
see
greater
increases
than
others.
E
D
Great
thanks,
beth
back
to
you
paul
a
little
bit
on
the
process
we
went
through
in
developing
the
plan.
F
Paul
thank
you
15
months
into
the
pandemic.
You'd
think
I'd
have
this
down
by
now,
but
in
terms
of
the
community
process,
you
know
we.
We
understood
that
a
a
an
effort,
a
master
plan,
a
document
and
a
process
of
this
complexity
and
length
required
a
significant
investment
of
time
and
effort.
And
to
that
end
we
worked
to
develop
a
mix
of
outreach
activities
and
formats
that
would
meet
the
stakeholders
of
oakland
wherever
they
may
be.
F
The
primary
vehicle
for
community
input
was
a
series
of
eight
public
meetings
held
across
the
2019
calendar
year
and
in
those
meetings
we
took,
you
know
careful
stock
of
what
we
heard
from
our
neighbors
and
use
that
feedback
to
inform
what
would
eventually
become
the
neighborhood
enhancement,
strategies,
framework
and
you'll
see
the
the
notes
from
those
meetings
in
the
appendix
to
the
master
plan,
these
weren't
kind
of
one-way
directed
output
meetings,
but
rather
you
know,
even
though
we
really
did
have
a
ton
of
content
to
get
out
there.
F
F
F
At
the
same
time,
we
felt
that
it
was
important
not
to
just
invite
the
community
to
our
campus
for
the
process
and
to
that
end,
we
sought
requested
time
on
the
agendas
for
the
neighborhood
association's
meetings
and
in
the
community,
where
a
member
of
the
planning
team
would
join
a
member
of
the
office
of
community
and
governmental
relations
to
ensure
that
participation
wasn't
just
limited
to
those
that
could
travel
to
the
meetings
we
held
on
or
around
campus,
and
once
the
draft
imp
was
available,
it
was
publicly
posted,
but
also
printed.
F
You
know
that
thick
or
so
and
copies
were
distributed
throughout
the
neighborhood
five
different
locations
around
oakland,
so
that
community
members
without
the
internet,
access
or
who
preferred
to
to
work
to
to
pay
to
work
through
the
printed
copy
had
that
opportunity,
and
I
think
that
helped
to
ensure
broad
broad
availability
and
participation.
F
But
I
would
also
mention
that
the
office,
the
university
is
an
active
participant
in
in
regularly
in
the
civic
life
of
the
oakland
community.
We
staff
the
neighborhood
association
meetings,
as
I
mentioned,
but
also
business,
district
meetings,
innovation,
district
meetings,
code
enforcement,
project
meetings,
landlord
alliance
meetings
and
meetings
for
accessibility
and
advocacy
throughout
the
neighborhood,
among
others.
F
So
the
imp
lines
of
communication
did
not
close
after
we
ended
the
the
large
public
meetings
phase,
but
rather
moved
into
community
spaces,
where
we
could
continue
to
be
responsive
to
what
we
were
hearing
and
what
our
oakland
stakeholders
were
continuing
to
advocate
for
and
also
to
keep
them
informed.
What
turned
out
to
be
a
an
understandably,
very
lengthy
process,
given
the
imp
requirements,
but
also
given
that
we
did
this
in
the
midst
of
a
pandemic
as
well.
F
So
maybe
if
you
could
go
to
the
next
slide,
this
is
a
really
just
a
a
listing
of
what
I
referred
to
in
the
initial
meetings
with
the
city.
But
then
the
public
meetings
throughout
2019
that
we
held
around
around
the
neighborhood,
I'm
sorry
on
campus
and
then
followed
up
in
the
in
the
neighborhood
meeting.
So
you
know
a
very
robust
process
and
had
a
you
know,
a
a
wealth
of
opportunities
for
participation
and
input
which
we
really
valued
and
tried
to
implement
wherever
it
was.
D
Great
thanks
paul
the
imp
boundary
area,
which,
of
course,
is
set
within
the
zoning
code,
is
within
the
educational,
medical,
institutional
district,
that's
shown
in
light
blue
here.
The
orange
outline
is
pit's
1
000
foot
radius
around
that
boundary,
which
is
another
requirement
in
the
plan
that
we
call
out
any
ownership
at
that
time
of
properties
that
we
may
have
within
that
area.
That
may
be
subject
to
development,
whether
in
the
emi
or
not.
D
And
then,
more
appropriately
in
the
10-year
horizon,
we
have
identified
through
these
12
different
districts
about
25
sites
for
development.
It
would
be
quite
a
feat
for
us
to
develop
25
sites
in
10
years.
This
is
an
example
of
the
flexibility
that
beth
was
talking
about
earlier.
D
D
That,
of
course,
has
to
be
balanced
with
the
thought
that
a
lot
of
times
we
haven't
hired
an
architect
to
even
start
any
planning
on
a
particular
site,
and
so
the
push
and
pull
between
those
was
resolved
by
this
kind
of
a
strategy.
What
we
call
the
yellow
box,
and
so
the
yellow
box,
identifies
by
maximum
height
and
gross
square
footage
and
potential
uses
what
we
think
we
may
do
in
the
future
and
then
that
future
building,
once
an
architect
is
hired.
D
Our
program
is
known,
is
then
developed
within
that
box,
and
I
use
our
escape
hall
expansion,
which
is
under
construction
right
now,
which
went
through
an
alternative
compliance
process
for
master
plan
approval
as
a
good
example
of
how
this
strategy
works.
So
the
initial
yellow
box
on
the
left
was
potentially
where
all
we
might
expand
skate
to
meet
those
programmatic
needs
and
then
on.
D
The
right
is
the
actual
build
out
within
the
yellow
box,
but
obviously
a
much
more
subdued
version
of
the
potential
that
existed
previous
to
that
and
so
you'll
see
throughout
the
document
in
the
ten
year
plan,
yellow
boxes
across
those
twenty-some
sites
that
suggest
to
a
zoning
code
level.
What
what
the
parameters
of
the
development
are,
but
still
allow
us
the
flexibility
to
solve
each
building
program
as
the
site
requires
it.
E
We'd
like
to
talk
a
little
about
our
open
space
and
pedestrian
circulation
and
landscape,
and
then
design
guides
for
the
building.
It's
important
that
we
accommodate
the
topography
that
is
in
the
city
and
complement
it
and
that
we
make
it
as
accessible
as
possible
and
that
we
have
community
engagement
as
possible
outside.
E
So
our
urban
design
guides
apply
both
to
the
building
and
the
landscape.
We
have
criteria
that
fosters
design
that's
compatible
with
existing
campus.
We
would
not
want
our
most
contemporary
design
to
be
in
the
historic
district
as
an
example,
we
want
to
create
an
enhanced
campus
environment.
It's
important
to
define
what
that
means.
E
Part
of
it
is
that
many
people
can
enjoy
the
benefits
of
that,
that
it
serves
the
educational
purpose
and
that
it's
a
compliment
to
the
community
that
we're
in
so
we're
promoting
open
spaces
both
for
the
campus
and
the
surrounding
community
as
appropriate
for
their
engagement
and
establish
as
much
as
possible
a
pedestrian
experience
and
a
barrier
free
routes.
I
say
as
much
as
possible
because
oakland
is
is
a
very
dense
urban
environment
and
we
want
the
podesta.
E
E
So
some
examples
you
all
know
in
our
historic
area.
We
have
georgian
greek
revival,
italianate
romanesque,
bozarts,
20th
century
modern,
and
these
different
buildings
often
exist
compatible
compatibly
in
an
urban
environment,
and
when
we
go
to
renovate
these,
we
want
to
be
sensitive
both
to
the
surrounding
neighbors
and
to
the
need
to
preserve
a
lot
of
the
architectural
hairy
heritage,
while
making
sure
that
our
buildings
are
meeting
all
the
standards
for
energy
today
and
meet
our
program.
Programmatic
needs
next
slide.
E
Our
streetscapes
are
very
important
everything
from
how
we
are
able
to
manage
stormwater
where
we
place
the
street
trees,
keeping
the
sidewalks
as
wide
as
possible
for
multiple
pedestrians
to
traverse
at
once,
and
also
giving
the
bicyclists
a
place
in
our
lanes.
E
So
we're
looking
at
all
different
sorts
of
things
in
each
of
those
streetscape
design
guides
and
we'll
work
closely
with
the
city
on
that,
as
most
of
our
streets
are
city
streets.
So
the
four
elements
of
the
imp
that
require
tracking
throughout
the
10-year
plan
open
space
tree
canopy,
storm
water
and
parking.
E
The
university
wants
to
prepare
sheets
that
make
it
easy
for
planning
and
zoning
to
review
where
we
are
in
our
commitments
over
that
10-year
period
on
not
just
a
side-by-side
basis,
but
in
a
holistic
way,
and
so
the
university
is
committing
to
always
maintaining
a
positive
balance
for
if
we
take,
for
example,
if
we
take
down
five
trees,
we
want
to
make
sure
that
we're
six
trees
ahead
of
our
total
count.
As
a
as
a
simple
example,.
E
In
the
public
realm
green
spaces,
we
have
a
lot
of
opportunities
to
enhance
our
open
space
commitments
in
the
public
realm,
to
provide
opportunities
for
shade
opportunities
for
places
to
for
people
to
pause
and,
most
importantly,
opportunities
to
develop
a
sense
of
place
that
are
publicly
accessible
and
serve
as
the
as
they
are
able.
E
Thus,
the
picture
here
where
we're
using
a
building
that
we're
planning
on
o'hare
street
as
a
way
to
get
up
to
the
next
street
by
going
into
the
building
and
using
the
elevators
so
making
use
of
our
topography
both
for
beauty
for
circulation
and
for
ease
of
travel
and
establishing
a
sense
of
place
and
developing
an
aesthetic
quality
for
the
public.
Realm
is
really
important.
E
Another
example,
if
you
went
through
that
building
to
get
up
to
the
higher
level
we're
proposing
that
instead
of
the
paper
streets
that
are
our
steep
stairs
are
known
as
that
we
make
paths
that
might
be
a
little
longer
but
actually
feel
shorter,
because
they're
pleasant
to
traverse
that
you
can
get
from
one
building
to
another
on
the
hillside
and
that
we
have
opportunities
on
the
hillside
that
we
don't
have
today,
where
you
can
enjoy
them.
E
The
existing
conditions
of
our
hillside
they're,
not
bad,
but
they
aren't
necessarily
easy
to
engage
and
right
now,
given
climate
change,
given
the
pandemic,
we
know
how
important
it
is
to
have
human
engaged
landscape,
so
our
goal
is
to
make
our
landscape
as
enjoyable
to
us
as
it
is
to
the
goats
today.
E
So
we
want
our
stairs
to
be
split
and
have
paths
and
places
to
pause
and
rest.
We
want
places
in
our
hillside
where
we
we
have
we'd
like
to
remove
all
of
the
invasive
species,
and
we've
done
some
soil
analysis
and
do
plantings
that
are
conducive
to
trees,
growing
and
also
conducive
to
helping
to
stabilize
the
soil
and
then
allowing
opportunities
for
people
to
go
up
and
have
their
lunch
on
the
hill
and
enjoy
the
views.
E
So
we've
divided
that
just
as
a
way
to
think
through.
How
do
we
think
about
this?
We
developed
our
landscape
into
these.
Three
terms
are
being
rusticated
and
sylvan.
Their
bane
would
be
more
formal,
more
architectural
in
nature
and
heavily
trafficked.
So
you
might
find
those
in
the
two
previous
slides
on
the
entrance
to
the
building
on
o'hara,
whereas
if
you
were
walking
up
the
hillside
halfway
up,
you
might
see
more
rusticated
stones,
stones
that
you
might
have
found
in
that
hillside
a
little
more
native
color.
E
And
if
you
got
up
to
the
sylvan
that
might
be
over
near
fox
folk
school,
where
it's
a
very
heavily
forested
area.
So
we've
taken
these
themes
in
order
to
help
us
with
our
design
guides
of
what
kind
of
trash
receptacles
what
kind
of
lighting
what
kinds
of
seating,
what
kinds
of
planting
so
that
we
have
an
organizational
framework
that
you
might
not
know
is
there,
but
that
intuitively
intuitively
gives
you
a
sense
of
order
and
assists
in
developing
the
natural
environment.
E
E
Our
tree
preservation
and
tree
canopy
we've
spent
a
lot
of
time
on
this.
Looking
at
how
many
acres
we
have
covered
by
trees,
we're
proposing
an
increase,
but
rather
than
simply
selecting
trees
and
placing
them,
we
want
to
select
trees
that
are
that
we
know,
will
live
in
this
environment
in
the
heavily
forested
area.
E
Again,
the
relationship
of
the
tree
canopy
we're
looking
at
how
we
calculate
our
trees
and
we're
we're
using
that
design,
something
the
scientists
call
the
basal
method
of
measurements.
Where
you
take
it,
it
was.
It
would
be
like
you're
standing
at
your
countertop
height
and
slicing
off
the
forest
at
that
level
and
looking
at
all
the
different
growths
that
you
have,
there,
we've
learned
from
the
scientists,
it's
a
little
more
sustainable
way
to
calculate
our
trees,
and
we
want
to
do
that
and
also
meet
the
guidelines
that
the
city
has
for
us.
E
G
D
D
Looking
at
partnerships
that
we
can
do,
and
we
did
a
transportation
impact
study
for
the
10
years,
assuming
the
full
build
out
and
tested
all
the
intersections.
Accordingly,
we
did
an
inventory
of
all
of
our
bicycle
facilities
and
we
update
this
inventory
annually
and
look
at
bike
parking
relative
to
where
people
are
going
as
destinations
on
campus
and
try
and
improve
the
bike
facilities
through
bike,
lockers
and
other
covered
storage.
D
Overall,
looking
at
parking
a
similar
strategy
to
having
multiple
sites
across
the
10-year
plan
that
might
not
get
all
developed,
we
have
multiple
options
for
maintaining
that
net
zero
of
parking
we've
identified
where
our
parking
is.
Today,
we've
identified
several
potential
parking
options
and
between
those
two
we
will
map
towards
towards
the
needs
that
we
have
I'm
going
to
kick
it
back
to
beth
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
nope.
Sorry,
one
more
slide.
D
This
is
the
from
that
transportation
study
where
we
analyze
the
intersections
looking
at
as
if
we
didn't
do
anything
within
the
10-year
plan
to
if
we,
which
I've
said,
would
be
very
challenging,
built
out
the
entire
10-year
plan
and
all
of
the
intersections
pretty
much
perform
as
they
perform
as
if
we
made
none
of
those
improvements,
and
this
study
looks
at
not
just
our
development
but
obviously
oakland
is
is
a
an
area
with
many
neighbors
and
institutions,
and
so
it
tries
to
take
into
account
all
the
future
conditions
that
might
exist
within
oakland.
E
University
has
recently
published
an
update
to
its
sustainability
plan
and,
as
you
know,
most
most
of
our
new
buildings,
all
of
our
new
buildings
have
been
lead
certified
we're
paying
a
special
attention
to
waste
management
and
water
conservation.
E
So
some
of
the
goals
that
we
have
are
reducing
the
greenhouse
grass
gas
emissions,
particularly
by
travel
to
below
250
percent
below
the
2013
oakland
baseline.
There
are
simple
things
like
the
bus
pass,
where
it's
wonderful
to
take
advantage
of
that
and
not
have
to
drive
through
town.
There
are
other
things
like
encouraging
folks
to
car
share
and
really
looking
at
what
we
can
do
in
our
built
environment
in
our
lead
and
well-building
certifications
that
contribute
to
that
goal.
E
We
want
to
expand
composting,
so
even
in
our
exterior
areas
having
multiple
bins,
we
want
to
reduce
our
landfill
waste
we'd
like
to
achieve
water
usage
intensity
below
50
percent.
So
a
little
bit
beyond
the
low
flow
water
shower
heads
that
we
all
have
seen
in
the
marketplace,
but
doing
more
than
that
and
we'd
like
to
produce
50
percent
of
our
energy
from
renewables.
The
start
of
that
is
the
water
and
the
energy
that
we'll
be
getting
from
the
dam
on
the
river
and
to
achieve
our
energy
use
intensity
50
below
the
national
average.
E
So
we
know
that
we
need
to
protect
our
hillsides,
so
we
know
there
sometimes
well,
every
time
I
think
we
we
dig
in
the
upper
hillside.
There
are
old
mines,
and
so
we
know
we
have
to
to
grout
those
areas
and
use
deep
foundations.
We
that's
why
we've
space
this
next
bullet
point.
E
Why
we've
paid
so
much
attention
to
our
vegetation
is
to
retain
the
slope
and
stability
stability
of
the
hillside
with
vegetative
structural
support,
and
we
know
we
want
to
protect
those
landslide
prone
areas
and
so
to
the
extent
that
we
can
making
our
design
guides
and
our
landscape
around
the
buildings
compatible
with
those
sustainability
strategies.
Rather
than
simply
planting
something
that
looks
nice.
E
Our
storm
water
management,
as
I
mentioned,
the
first
thing
we
did-
was
do
a
storm
water
master
plan
to
see
where
our
watersheds
are
and
using
the
topography
to
our
advantage
to
collect
that
water.
That's
already
directed
in
certain
paths.
Each
of
our
new
buildings
will
have
a
cistern
to
hold
some
of
that
water,
but
we're
also
looking
to
move
that
water
down.
E
The
hill
would
like
to
have
a
very
large
cistern
and
be
able
to
keep
at
least
four
million
gallons
out
of
the
four
mile
run
and
use
that
water
in
our
positive
our
chilled
water
plant.
So
while
it
is
just
a
big
sister
and
the
beauty
of
it
is
with
a
valve
on
each
end,
you
can
both
collect
the
water
and
hold
the
water
back
until
the
episodic
event
is
over.
E
So
we're
looking
at
our
use
of
our
hillside,
both
to
mitigate
the
damage
that
intense
storm
water
can
do
and
also
to
mitigate
the
damage
that
it
can
do
when
it
rolls
off
of
our
property.
So
we've
spent
a
lot
of
time
and
a
lot
of
energy
looking
at
these
things,
so
obviously
we'll
reduce
and
replace
our
impervious
service
surfaces
with
these.
This
is
part
of
our
promise
to
this
city
to
look
at
how
much
water
we're
absorbing
and
how
much
water
is
running
off
of
our
sites.
We
can
look
at
green
roofs.
E
We
can
look
at
rain,
gardens
and
bio
soils,
and
this
was
all
part
of
our
lands.
Our
storm
water
master
plan
system,
cisterns,
where
we
can
reclaim
the
water
and
reuse
the
storm
water
and
we're
looking
at
where
it's
feasible
to
use
infiltration
and
detention.
Tanks
in
porous
paving-
and
we
were
all
pleasantly
surprised
at
how
much
water
we
could
collect
off
that
hillside
both
to
reuse
and
to
hold
back
from
our
big
storm
events,
which
we
seem
to
get
more
and
more.
D
Great
thank
you.
Beth
transitioning,
back
to
our
community
and
government
relations
team
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
more
about
on
the
neighborhood
enhancement,
strategies
and
plan
lena.
H
So
the
neighborhood
enhancement
strategy,
that
is
on
pages
435
through
445
of
the
plan,
really
lays
out
the
strategies
that
we're
committed
to
undertaking
over
the
entire
life
of
the
plan
and
beyond,
and
those
strategies
are
designed
to
help
us
do
three
things
right:
alleviate
any
negative
impacts
that
we
have
on
the
neighborhoods
that
are
adjacent
to
our
campus,
enhance
the
positive
impacts
that
we
have
on
the
quality
of
life
for
our
neighbors
and
three
improve
our
neighbor's
access
to
pits
programs
and
facilities
next
slide.
H
Please,
the
planning
process
allowed
pitt
to
get
very
clear
on
our
responsibilities
and
opportunities,
and
I
think,
as
an
anchor
institution,
it
helps
us
to
understand
that
our
role
can
be
deepened
as
a
collaborator
and
convener.
So
we
will
continue
to
be
in
routine
dialogue
with
and
participate
in,
our
local
community
organizations
and
efforts
that
bring
stakeholders
together
for
project
specific
initiatives.
H
Our
neighbors
have
been
very
pleased
and
happy
with
how
we've
entered
into
that
into
that
conversation.
Together.
We've
developed
a
slate
of
neighborhood
enhancements
that
could
fully
leverage
us
university
as
an
asset
for
our
neighbors,
and
so
jamie
is
going
to
share
a
little
bit
more
about
that
process
and
also
those
strategies
in
a
bit
more
detail
so
that
you
have
a
sense
of
where
we're
headed
as
a
neighborhood
support
and
enhancement.
Jamie.
I
Thanks
lina,
so
I'm
going
to
pick
up
the
conversation
that
paul
got
started
a
little
bit
earlier
in
our
presentation
and
that
lena
continued.
I
Our
first
step
of
listen
reflects
the
entirety
of
the
2019
calendar
you
saw
earlier
so
that
was
eight
public
meetings
that
we
hosted
and
invited
the
community
to,
as
well
as
multiple
rounds
of
inp
discussions
in
each
of
the
neighborhood
association
meetings
and
for
those
not
familiar
with
oakland.
It's
a
neighborhood
of
many
neighborhoods,
so
that
meant
visiting
the
bellfield
area,
citizens,
association,
west
oakland,
neighborhood,
council,
south
oakland,
neighborhood
group
and
oak
cliff
community
organizations
in
order
to
ensure
that
our
neighbors
receive
the
information
that
they
needed.
In
order
to
continue
alongside
of
us.
I
Through
this
imp
process,
we
staff
up
to
eight
monthly
touch
points
with
stakeholders.
We
have
before
the
imp
process
started
and
we'll
continue
to.
As
part
of
our
standard
practice,
we
know
many
of
our
neighbors
by
name,
and
it's
our
hope
that
our
relationships
will
continue
to
be
the
foundation
for
our
institution.
I
So
we
had
chart
paper
notes,
notes
submitted
via
the
website
comments
made
in
regular
monthly
meetings
and
notes
from
the
reflective
exercises
that
you're
able
to
find
in
the
appendix
of
our
actual
institutional
master
plan,
we're
going
to
take
that
further
by
by
making
our
documentation
of
our
implementation
a
little
bit
more
public
with
a
dashboard
that
I'll
be
able
to
share
more
about
later
so,
communication
isn't
just
between
the
community
and
our
imp
planning
team.
I
After
starting
to
assemble
themes
and
consistent
comments,
we
took
the
imp
process
to
our
institutional
leadership
so
that
they
could
better
understand
what
we
were
hearing
and
what
we
needed
to
respond
to.
So
in
this
way,
we
were
able
to
create
significant
internal
buy-in
for
the
importance
of
this
process,
along
with
the
external
engagement
that
was
informing
the
plan
and,
of
course,
of
course,
after
informing
our
leadership,
we
have
to
then
dig
in
and
push
so.
These
are
what
you're
seeing
here
is
a
really
broad
long-term
set
of
commitments
for
actions.
I
Some
of
our
economic
opportunity
strategies
and
really
see
where
the
university
is
able
to
make
progress
in
a
way
that
allows
folks
to
be
able
to
move
at
their
own
pace,
but
also
tag
back
to
our
teams.
In
order
to
ask
questions,
and
so
that
is
a
very
big
project,
considering
the
size
of
this
institutional
master
plan.
But
it's
something
that
we're
committed
to
launching
in
the
near
future.
Can
we
head
to
the
next
slide.
I
I
Those
are
opportunities
such
as
committing
to
partnering,
with
small
businesses,
minority
owned
businesses
to
increase
their
share
of
procurement
and
buying
within
the
institution
searching
for
targeted
ways
to
leverage
our
strength
in
numbers
for
small
business
success.
Our
small
business
development
center
is
already
working
very
intently
in
the
region
and
we
hope
to
leverage
their
strengths
for
continued
growth
and
opportunity
with
our
neighbors
in
neighborhood
quality.
That
means
that
we've
agreed
to
go
all
in
on
neighborhood
adopt-a-block
programs
that
can
reflect
a
pride
of
place
and
engage
our
students
through
volunteerism
within
the
neighborhood.
I
It
also
means
that
we'll
be
looking
to
the
city
to
partner
differently,
to
tackle
perennial
issues
around
code
enforcement
and
parking
in
the
neighborhood
for
physical
enhancement.
Our
team
continues
to
refine
what
good
urban
design
can
look
like,
and
we're
also
mindful
that
institutional
assets
can
support
broader
placemaking
and
activation
within
the
neighborhood.
I
We've
assembled
bodies
like
our
public
art
commission,
which
will
work
to
be
intentional,
and
we
really
want
to
be
a
dynamic
piece
of
the
oakland
neighborhood
mix
for
retail
and
services.
We
have
a
great
relationship
with
the
oakland
business
improvement
district
and
we
understand
that
we're
both
a
landlord
as
well
as
a
significant
consumer
stakeholder
in
the
neighborhood.
I
We're
also
currently
an
active
part
of
the
oakland
neighborhood
plan
and
process
being
facilitated
by
the
city,
and
so
we
want
to
be
part
of
the
team.
That's
working
to
identify
what
long-term
livability
can
look
like
these
themes,
intersected
with
our
internal
knowledge
of
the
institution
and
advocacy
to
advance
community
aims
to
produce
the
list
of
strategies
that
you
see
included
in
our
final
document
and
thanks
for
letting
me
kind
of
dig
in
there.
D
Thank
you,
jamie
and
lina.
So
I
think
that
concludes
our
our
presentation
and
our
submission
of
this
plan
for
city
council's
consideration.
D
I
say
conclusion,
but
really
it
I
hope
we
were
able
to
demonstrate
through
this
presentation
and
through
the
plan
itself,
how
this
is
only
a
starting
point
for
the
next
10
years
for
pitt
and
the
community
that
we
we
live
in,
whether
the
very
specific
requirement
in
the
plan
that
we
owe
city
planning,
a
historic
preservation
plan
for
those
historic
structures
that
we
have
on
campus
or
one
of
the
74
strategies
that
jamie
talked
about
in
very
specific
community
oriented
things
that
we
have
to
do
to
those
individual
development
sites.
D
As
that
10
years,
advances
and
and
sites
come
forward
and
go
through
a
full
public
and
transparent
process
for
the
development
of
any
of
those
facilities,
as
they
take
shape
from
the
yellow
box
that
they're
presented
in
today.
To
that
finished
solution,
we
look
forward
to
working
with
the
city
on
those
developments
and
would
be
happy
to
take
any
questions.
Part
of
our
plan.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you.
We
will
let
the
record
reflect
that
we
have
been
joined
by
council
members
bobby
wilson,
daniel
lavelle,
deborah
gross
and
council.
President
teresa
cale
smith
had
joined
us
for
a
period
of
time.

J
Hi,
my
name
is
tom
longstaff.
I
love
an
owner
and
board
member
at
the
atrium
condominium
association
at
307,
south
dithridge
street.
Our
building
is
positioned
across
death
rage
from
bellafield
hall
in
bellefold
avenue
and
adjacent
to
the
parking
lot
of
the
forbe
craig's
apartment
at
45,
31
5th
avenue.
J
First,
I
believe
the
plan
for
bellefold
hall
is
an
internal
renovation
only
with
no
change
to
the
use
of
the
building.
I'd
like
to
have
that
verified
number
two.
I
understand
that
the
dining
facilities
of
the
forbes
craig
apartments
will
be
expanded
and
would
like
to
assure
there
is
adequate
food
waste
removal.
So
there's
not
a
significant
increased
risk
of
rodents
in
the
area.
J
And
thirdly,
I
understand
that
the
parking
of
the
forbes
craig
apartments
will
be
expanded,
and
I
would
like
to
assure
that
a
traffic
study
is
undertaken
to
assure
that
there
will
be
no
significant
impact.
The
entrance
of
the
atrium
on
fillmore
street
nor
access
to
the
cmu
police
station.
I
thank
you
very
much
for
your
attention.
These
concerns
and
very
much
appreciate
the
community
engagement
jamie,
especially
that
you've
been
doing
and
others,
and
I'm
confident
that
these
will
be
easy
to
address.
Thank
you.
G
G
In
the
interest
of
clarity,
I
would
like
to
first
state
that
I
am
also
currently
president
of
the
bellfield
area,
citizens
association,
our
association
voted
unanimously
to
support
the
university
of
pittsburgh's
inp,
and
we
have
submitted
that
in
writing.
So
my
comments
today
are
purely
personal
as
a
very
long-term
oakland
resident.
G
G
G
We
are
particularly
pleased
that,
as
going
forward,
the
individual
projects
will
be
brought
back
to
the
community
and
addressed
in
more
specific
manners
so
that
we
didn't
have
to
address
the
entire
plan
for
the
next
10
years
at
one
time
as
a
community
resident.
I'm
also
very
pleased
and
impressed
with
the
increased
efforts
to
encourage
interaction
among
students
and
residents.
G
Of
course,
code
enforcement
has
been
our
priority
for
us
for
many
years
and
student
housing,
and
I
will
say
that
even
one
of
the
meetings
we
even
got
on
a
pit
shuttle
and
drove
around
and
looked
at
housing
in
the
community,
so
those
were
issues
that
were
very
important
to
us
and
they
have
been
addressed.
G
G
As
a
long-time
teacher
in
the
hill
district,
I
have
to
say
that
every
time
I
read
an
activity
as
a
community
engagement
center,
I
am
thrilled.
So
as
a
resident,
I
will
say
that
we
are
grateful
to
the
con
friction
university
for
an
opportunity
to
participate
and
there
and
for
their
support
to
our
neighborhoods.
G
K
Good
afternoon
my
name
is
vincent
johnson.
I
reside
at
128
north
craig
street
in
the
park
plaza
condo,
I'm
vice
president
of
the
park,
plaza
condo
council,
I'm
a
committee
member
for
the
fourth
ward
democratic
committee
and
I'm
also
an
employee
of
the
university
of
pittsburgh,
and
my
intent
today
is
to
say
how
impressed
I
am
with
the
thoroughness
of
the
institutional
master
plan.
K
I
am
appreciative
of
the
connections
made
with
community
engagement,
the
thoughtful
consideration
of
open
space.
I
really
like
the
plan
for
storm
water
management
and
integration
with
environmental
strategies
for
protection
going
forward.
The
plans
for
sustainability,
infrastructure
and
mobility
are
spot
on.
So
as
a
person
who
lives
in
north
oakland
is
a
member
of
one
of
the
democratic
committees
that
participates
in
the
electoral
process
and
an
employee
of
the
university
of
pittsburgh.
K
I
do
say
that
I'm
very
impressed
with
the
plans
that
are
laid
out
and
the
comprehensive
nature
of
the
studies
that
have
taken
place
and
the
plans
going
forward.
So
congratulations
for
all
your
hard
work
and
especially
with
your
efforts
to
connect
with
the
community
over
these
last
few
years
on
this
master
plan.
Thank
you.
L
L
L
A
A
Next
up,
we
have
rachel
o'neal,
although
there
was
some
confusion
as
to
whether
rachel
was
intending
to
testify
or
or
added
as
a
panelist.
So
please
correct
me:
if,
if
rachel
is
not
testifying,
followed
by
kirimaji
rajumba.
A
M
M
So
if
there
have
been
changes
to
my
understanding
of
what
was
in
the
plan
that
we
found
objectionable,
you
have
my
apologies,
but
as
it
stands,
our
concern
with
regards
to
the
institutional
master
plan
was
with.
As
far
as
the
proposed
demolition,
which
we
understood,
that
pit
was
proposing
of
the
gardner
steel
center
and
the
o'hare
steel
and
the
o'hare
street
students
and
the
buildings.
M
We
think
these
are
significant
buildings
that
represent
architectural
integrity
of
oakland
and
the
building
aesthetic
of
the
city,
beautiful
movement,
which
is
unique
in
in
this
part
of
the
state
and
in
oakland
itself,
and
the
growth
of
oakland.
These
buildings
are
both
in
the
schenley
farms,
national,
historic
district.
For
a
reason,
we
think
that
they
are
there
because
of
their
significance
in
terms
of
the
role
they
play
in
the
beauty
of
oakland.
M
We
would
strongly
oppose
any
idea,
or
we've
been
thinking
about
demolishing
these
buildings,
given
their
significance
to
the
very
essence
of
what
oakland
is
what
makes
auckland
oakland.
So
we
we
would
like
to
reduce
our
opposition
to
that
idea
and
that's
for
the
most
part
where
we
we
have
a
problem.
We
have
no
problem
with
the
rest
of
the
plan.
We
in
fact
think
it's
very
progressive
and,
frankly
we're
surprised
that
that
that
it
would
include
any
notion
of
the
idea
of
demolishing
these
significant
structures.
M
A
N
N
The
the
only
thing
I
wanted
to
bring
up
is
with
respect
to
historic
district
requirements.
We
we
do
address
those
in
the
institutional
master
plan.
N
The
university
understands
that
it
must
adhere
to
all
historic
review
requirements
and
in
fact
there
would
be
a
very
robust
historic
review
process
that
we
would
need
to
go
through
to
the
extent
that
we
are
proposing
any
changes
or
modifications
or
demolitions
with
respect
to
buildings
within
any
historic
district,
so
that
this
imp
does
not
change
that
and
we
we
understand
that
we
still
have
to
adhere
to
that
project
process,
and
that
is
all
I
have.
Thank
you.
O
O
O
We
are
in
favor
of
the
university
master
plan,
but
we
have
to
to
cons.
We
have
a
great
relationship
with
the
university
over
the
years.
O
O
The
plan
presented
by
the
university
includes
two
significant
new
and
larger
buildings
in
the
block
just
north
and
above
our
building.
This
would
result
in
additional
stress
on
the
already
inadequate
system,
storm
sewer
system,
and
we
would
like
to
hear
about
the
plans
to
address
this
problem,
the
second
one
it
has
to
do
more.
With
the
the
process
of
construction
and
and
yeah
construction.
O
We
recently
experienced
a
power
outage
during
our
sunday
morning,
worship
due
to
some
construction
activity
on
factory
street.
We
had
no
prior
warning
that
this
will
be
taking
place
and,
needless
to
say,
it
was
very
disruptive
to
the
service.
We
simply
asked
that
we
are
communicating
with
with
so
when
we
can
have
input
on
this
matter
and
make
plans
accordingly.
A
Thank
you
that
exhausts
our
list
of
registered
speakers.
I
would
like
to
turn
this
over
now
to
my
fellow
council
colleagues
for
any
questions
that
they
might
have
councilwoman
gross.
Do
you
have
questions
for
the
university
of
pittsburgh
team.
A
Thank
you.
Thank
you
for
joining
us.
The
only
the
only
questions
that
I
have
relate
to
this,
the
speakers
that
already
registered
some
questions
or
had
some
concerns.
I
just
wanted
to
give
the
university
of
pittsburgh
team
time
to
respond
to
any
of
those
questions
publicly.
D
Sure
this
is
owen
cooks.
I
can
respond
to
mr
longstaff's
questions.
I
think
the
first
question
had
to
do
with
bellfield
hall
and
whether
we
were
planning
just
an
internal
renovation.
D
That's
correct,
and
so
change
of
use,
of
course,
is-
is
governed
by
zoning,
not
the
imp
in
a
situation
like
that,
there
was
also
a
comment
about
the
expansion
of
food
service
at
forbes.
Craig,
that's
not
a
part
of
our
plans,
that's
one
of
our
smaller
residence
hall
facilities
and
we
have
other
food
service
alternatives.
D
So
just
like
every
project,
that's
in
one
of
those
yellow
development
envelopes.
We
go
through
the
city
process
again
and
in
more
detail
to
ensure
all
the
requirements
of
the
imp
are
met,
and
then
all
of
the
city,
ordinances
and
code
requirements,
including
studying
traffic
and
light
and
so
on,
and
that
entire
process
would
be
surrounded
by
a
community
engagement
process.
Throughout
to
ensure
we're
connecting
with
our
neighbors,
not
just
following
the
ordinance
required
development
activities
meetings
but
truly
engaged
two-way
conversations
to
have
have
development
done
in
an
appropriate
way.
D
D
We're
required
to
go
through
a
pretty
extensive
study
to
ensure
that
taps
into
sewer
systems
or
water
systems
are
of
an
appropriate
size
and
nature
to
ensure
that
we're
not
contributing
to
overflows
and
where
necessary,
we
expand
those
systems,
often
at
the
university's
cost,
to
ensure
that
we're
keeping
the
system
flowing
the
way
it
should
in
terms
of
the
process
of
construction.
It
sounds
like
a
really
unfortunate
incident
there.
On
vacary.
I
can't
really
speak
with
with
any
assurance
that
it
was
a
university
contractor
or
something
else.
D
We
do
use
our
community
process
to
get
notices
out
there,
whether
it's
setting
up
a
crane
or
closing
a
street
or
whatever,
certainly
on
something
the
scale
of
a
power
outage.
We
would
work
with
our
neighbors
to
affect
any
non-university
properties
to
schedule
that
in
advance,
perhaps
a
line
was
hit
during
construction,
but
I
think
we
do
have
processes
at
the
university
for
those
things
that
can
be
planned
to
ensure
that
we
work
with
our
neighbors
to
to
allow
that
to
happen.
D
E
Oh
well,
we
are
doing
a
historic
structures
report
as
is
required,
and
so
we
will
look
at
each
of
those
buildings
as
needed.
One
example
of
a
recent
building
was
the
croatian
fraternal
order
where
the
building
is
really
not
in
good
shape,
but
we're
preserving
that
unique
facade
to
put
on
a
building
behind.
That
will
be
some
some
feat
behind
it.
So
I
appreciate
your
comments
and
the
need
to
preserve,
as
far
as
as
much
as
we
can
historic
structures
in
the
neighborhood.
A
Okay,
see
no,
I
will
just
say
that
I
believe
that
this
process
has
been
a
full
and
complete
process.
I
believe
that
public
engagement
began
correct
me
if
I'm
wrong
in
2017.,
so
it's
been,
it
was
started
a
long
time
ago
and
there
has
been
meeting
after
a
meeting
and,
as
was
stated
by
many
of
the
those
who
spoke
that
you
know
really.
A
The
university
and
its
team
has
bent
over
backwards
to
accommodate
requests,
meeting
requests
types
of
meetings,
traveling
meetings,
meetings
on
site
to
really
help
the
community
understand
how
such
a
large
institution
that
really
you
know
we're
talking
about
university
institutions,
their
city
unto
themselves,
how
it'll
impact
and
and
and
mesh
with
the
existing
neighborhoods
of
oakland
and
beyond,
and
it's
a
huge
plan,
it's
hard
to
get
your
arms
around.
But
I
think
this
presentation
does
does
that.
A
So
thank
you
for
for
all
your
your
work,
consolidating
the
plan
into
an
easy
to
understand,
presentation,
and
I
personally
am
especially
enthusiastic
about
the
sustainability
goals,
the
sort
of
integration
of
of
of
spaces,
that
kind
of
human-centered
spaces
on
the
hillsides
and
and
integrating
the
campus
with
not
only
the
neighborhood
surrounding
it,
but
with
you
know,
with
the
ecosystem
surrounding
ecosystem
and
being
being
very
responsive
to
those
needs
when
it
comes
to
stormwater
when
it
comes
to
energy
efficiency,
when
it
comes
to
parking
demand
and
when
it
comes
to
the
community
fabric
of
these
neighborhoods
as
well
and
the
commitment
to
the
ongoing
engagement
and
and
as
we
discussed
the
last
time
we
were
briefed
as
council.
A
You
know
showing
the
progress
through
a
dashboard
is
really
important
to
me
as
well.
So
really
appreciate
all
that
work
because
of
the
many
years
of
engagement.
I
don't
have
any
questions
at
this
point.
I
think
all
of
them
have
been
answered
so
so
I
think
that
we
can
wrap
up
this
hearing
unless
there's
anything
else,
for
the
good
of
the
order.
Looking
for
hands.
