OCII reports FoodsCo improvements, property transfer underway and updates on Fillmore RFP and Hunters Point
Summary
Staff reported physical and hiring improvements at the FoodsCo grocery store (345 Williams Ave), said the property transfer to city departments is underway with an anticipated mid‑year transfer, and provided updates on a Fillmore Heritage RFP, recent bank failures review and Hunters Point affordable housing milestones.
OCII staff provided a non‑action update on March 21 regarding 345 Williams Ave — the FoodsCo grocery store in Bayview — and several other agency items.
Aaron Foxworthy (reporting for Marie Munson) said the site is roughly 2 acres with a 29,000‑square‑foot building and approximately 100 parking spaces. Staff described improvements completed at the store: grinding and repolishing of the concrete floor, repainting, roof replacement, new shopping carts and parking‑lot lighting; produce and meat departments were refreshed and organic offerings expanded. Foxworthy said the store reported that more than half of new hires in 2022 were residents of ZIP code 94124 and that outreach and overt hiring processes have improved neighborhood employment.
On property disposition, staff said the transfer of the real property and lease to the city's Mayor’s Office of Community Development (MOCD) and Real Estate Division (RED) is progressing and is anticipated by mid‑year; the lease can continue under MOCD until a stated lease renewal term (transcript reference). Director remarks also included an RFP update for the Fillmore Heritage Center (proposals due April 24 with site tours scheduled), a review of OCII exposure to recent bank failures (no lending or investing exposure identified on active projects to SVB/Signature/First Republic at the time of the review), and a note about state legislation (Sen. Weiner’s SB 593 referenced) to reauthorize OCII replacement housing work. Staff flagged upcoming oversight steps and hearings for the state legislation.
