SFGTV MTA Board Of Directors 71916 July 27, 2016

For Market Street to Mission Street everything within a boundary but 75 of all the Housing Units would be in that area. Just interesting note is that fully 50 of our housing pipeline is a small handle very large masterplanned project. By treasure and. [inaudible] unique challenges in terms of infrastructure building up these places are really almost blank slates in terms of transportation parks and everything that comes with that. On the jobsite, we are the bay area has been growing more robustly than the state or nation is over number of years. It has reached sort of milestones in terms of total jobs in the region that have not been reached before. Just like on the house inside San Francisco has really picked up its growth share of the region. On average, weve gone over this long period about 6500 jobs a yet but if you look at the recent decades and if you look at the recent 56 years is double that again. The pace thats really unprecedented. In terms of the regional productions, similar story. The plane banner area adopted in 2013 thought we would grow about 190,000 jobs were 70 of the region by 2040. We well outpaced up your weve taken 20 of all jobs achieve more than half of all the 30 year growth in just five years. So, not surprisingly the projections for 2040 are being revised and showing us growing by the detroit 250,000 jobs by 24. As you can see the pipeline of commercial space is pretty robust. About 23 1 2 million square feet is entitled were under review and no provide space for parents about 80,000 jobs. Just another note similar to the housing picture,. The location of particularly office space and job space in general has shifted since the 70s and 80s and is accelerating in this direction for the first 1520 years after the adoption of the downtown plan three quarters of all the office space in the city was entitled in the downtown. The next seven years was cut in up to 40 and currently, only 10 of the citys office thats proposed untitled is in the downtown get the rest is on the south of market in areas south and east along the waterfront. Willie, the downtown is reaching the sort of full buildout under the conception. This clearly presents new challenges particularly in transportation basis to address where [inaudible] so, that brings us to our current ongoing talk a little bit in the first part about some of the projects that we are Planning Efforts undertaken whether central soma southern waterfront the hub but we really try to coalesce to work program into key challenges that we shape our focus and our aspirations. The first is advisory equity and inclusively. This is challenging the basic soul of the sitting see that is where the paramount challenges for the city. Access and mobility. This is clearly yourand we talked a lot about those challenges within four. Resiliency and sustainability. Climate change we are a coastal spit zero arise presents unique challenges for some other heavily populated part of our city for waterfront and transportation infrastructure. Lastly, place making. Building places for people whether thats neighborhoods groaning or not growing. We train our attention to making places the people we want to inhabit good taking these things we have five place initiatives. That most of our work falls within few part of the citys we focus on the Market Street corridor and the neighborhoods in public spaces that hang off that corridor and make it Pacific Commons that we all hope and aspire it would be. The city of neighborhoods which is really looking at neighborhoods brilliant many which are not growing robustly the way that others are. Trying to make sure that everyone can meet their daily needs within a walking to my short walk or bike short transit ride. They can sure housing policy support the diversity our households reflect. The nextgeneration sf is kind of a coin of a term to reflect the Growth Management aspect of our. Promote the sums up these part of the city where you see a lot of growth happening but making sure nudges planning for growth in terms of housing and jobs and making sure the live transportation system, open space systems, educational systems, Community Facilities are really doing huge amount of growth and relatively concentrated area that need good we talked a little bit about the waterfront and bridging the bay. We are really trying to engage in a much more robust level with our partners in oakland and san jose and really looking at how we collectively solve some of these problems and regional basis engaging with plane banner and a area and are [inaudible] in a much more deliberate way. Then we have in the past. So, that concludes my presentation at happy to take any questions and look forward to dialogue on thursday and beyond thank you very much for the presentation. Especially appreciate the regional considerations. Im hoping that this moves forward were on touch with our regional partners on this side of the bait and north of the bait and south of the bid. Are we working with them at all on this. Is i think around renault working with the other areas . In terms of planned bay area itself were in close dialogue with our partners in both shaping the projections and making sure that large extent they reflect how we view the Growth Prospects of the city not just throwing out numbers that may be unrealistic or misallocated as well as providing lots of comments on the transportation packages that go along with those. Even separately, we reached out to planning directors in oakland and san jose. We were just on a field trip to san jose just a couple weeks ago meeting with our staff and talk about our common issue could were doing that and how it was more formal processes did so to think about the immediate neighbors like brisbane for example. Highspeed rail. Their idea to build Storage Facility there. Having conversation i dont know whats going on with that at all and i dont know if they have the ability to condemn the property. I suppose they do. But thats optically neighborly. Yes. We have a particular project as you probably know in the Planning Department to look at the arrival highspeed rail. Often referred to as bad or railyard alternatives study. We are in contact with brisbane on that project. This sort of future many ban in brisbane is in question but theyre going through their own planning and domicile review process but we stay in contact with them on that. We are really reaching out to a number of communities on the region on the speaker transportation question. So, open is reforming a Transportation Department right now for example. The kind of beefing up their ability to participate. Thank you. Vice chair brinkman great presentation. Ive been in this city long enough to really understand how the Planning Department helps us shape the city. I remember mr. Given a presentation to walk sf ages ago about how the bank on hill and downtown plan was going to restore the look of the hill in the valleys of downtown known across the bay bridge there they appear we actually have done it. I think a lot of people dont realize with incredibly longterm view you have to take in your department. I was getting really nervous when i was looking at this and looking at the sort of southern bayfront Housing Units coming online until i got to the next presentation which showed how we are going to do without in the transportation. Its great. Its good information and im so happy having this presentation and working together with planning to make sure were covering all these things. The last thing i just want to say is i will also appreciate the Planning Departments focus on what people need in the neighborhoods and Neighborhood Services and place making. In my neighborhood, we squared section for nine months and left such a hole in the neighborhood. Theres nowhere and where people go further evening walk or go to just watch the dogs plate or hang out. I appreciate the sharper focus and the experience you all have with that. So, thank you director borden i have a question have we done mapping like you do with planning how our dissertation overlays how we done with transit and ridership and infrastructure maps with plan. I think thats one of the challenges we see today with the stressors in the system because weve not looked at how that correlates. Ive never seen a presentation like that. Does one exist . Personally i have not seen it. It doesnt mean it doesnt exist but certainly part of the connect sf after im sure we will be part of the dialogue and provide a background context to that point, we looking at i know were moving forward and obviously making a lot of improvements and symptom would talk about later. With existing neighborhoods, but have we done i think i know in each of these Development Agreements and plans there were infrastructure for transportation requirements that in some cases with Development Agreements that are have to be put into place and sometimes their money to put in the funds to up on those projects. With area plans like market and octavia good have we done a brief refresh to look at that considering doing oh that we have the transportation improvements were making today we know we have 50 of our pipeline is part of Major Development actually to come online for another 10 in some cases 20 years. How are we making sure we are facing everything . Looking at that Bigger Picture of with Community Plan like the short term focusing on the projects window need to deal with right now and also making sure the longterm were ready when we finally get the last 10,000 units in the shipyard or over in [inaudible] but i would say he and all that jill give the correct answer, but i would say is first of all for the large common projects the transportation improvements are phased based on the development. Soon the candlestick shipyard Hunters Point plan for example the Transportation Plan their triggers and targets where we need to work with the development to essentially build the transportation infrastructure as the development happens same the treasure i look at st. Lukes and with [inaudible] but i think youre getting a kind of the deeper question that is josh said, we done these individual plans but i dont think we really have taken a citywide view terms of what you are saying of overlaying that map, i think that spot on in terms of what we need to be doing and thats effectively what we started this longrange Transportation Planning process that were going to discuss on thursday because to be honest, from my standpoint will done in the past aside from the development by the government were neighborhood by neighborhood efforts, such as to the transit effectiveness project look at somewhat of the existing system that optimizes them a call for projects. Whos got an idea of something . And people throwing we should do a subway here we should do a project there. But it hasnt beenand those are analyzed in this lot of evaluation that goes into that but i havent seen in recent decades the weve done this citywide view. We looked at Current System we have much as many of their the transit providers in the bike network, road network and overlaid that with the existing demands on the system and projected for future growth to see where the stressors, if theyre not now, then a become upon students are planning for it. That, for me was why we started this longrange process because i dont that we are done that to the extent we needed to on the citywide regional basis thats what you be hearing about thursday. Just the beginnings of that. Its a tall task it a lot harder than doing it in a very focused weight i think its important because having been on a plane we were always approve the project because the transit waited developments. Which is what we want, but the flipside is the transportation infrastructure is taxed, no most of our developers in south of market were doing a lot with not to say that hello street were other neighborhoods are not important because theyre growing other way but why 50 of her development is happening in the south of market district yet the majority of our time is spent focusing on other areas. Im not saying those areas are not important but we havent quite lined up our graduate of fact were going to all these people in a place and not easy ways to get them around. It kind of spills into the commuter shuttles and all these other kind of stressors were seen on the system today because were not looking out. Look forward to being part of helping to great his larger vision because i think thats exactly whats been lacking and how where we are today i think the hard thing is thinking about what were talking about the caravel geary street is and just think about today but think about 2030 years where we need to be on the other side of things so we dont have to say, gosh, we should have anticipated that were good have development or whatever. And now we need infrastructure. I think thats kind of like what i think its intentional process we helpful to the community at large to see the vision for where things are going the more we can overlay window to violence are coming here or populations going there, how are we adjusting i think the better lens we have one more look at all these individual projects and how we move forward with them. If i could, i would just say director reiskin did give the right answer. The only thing i would add is that as youre alluding to the Planning Commission also struggles with the same kind of question. They spend notably a small amount of their time looking at the longterm big picture and mostly dealing with development project. So this board and that commission to take a step which i think only happens once in a generation so this is a great moment to seize. The one other thing at new hear more about this in the coming presentation on the southern bayfront, there was a little bit at eight ha ha moment how we might build the bridge between now with these new developments come in and memory have this big picture in place. That is kind of a three bucket approach to negotiate particularly negotiated transportation contribution to those Development Agreements. The one bucket meeting onsite or nearsighted that need improvements. Some of those same either neighborhoods as well as the site. A second bucket that goes with augmenting suite and doing other things with the system that we know we need now in the short term the third bucket and hobbies apportioned all the lies are subject to ever negotiation, but a third bucket to make sure these development circuitry bidding at least to the study work and the design work the upfront work whatever comes out of this big picture planning work we are doing. So here more about that thank you. Dir. Ramos i was just going to say that im deeply grateful for the opportunity to hear from you folks about this. I think im constantly surprised by how our best projections are always less than what we could have imagined and i think about what our system and the hardship it mustve been on folks in the past to have dug the tunnels we dug and laid on the rails that we did and what have you. I can imagine the world were San Francisco today without these things. I think that its important that we think about just not even within account of speculation, just looking at where weve been in the past and thinking about the kind of growth weve expense in the past and that what we can anticipate in the future to guide our decisions. I would hope that when we are talking to the community about any these changes that we been talking about lately, but its moody forward were any of the new projects, that we couch them in these terms so that folks understand to director brinkman point talk about accommodating the future and try to keep ourselves from buying ourselves in a place where our sister property on the point of real efficiency for anyone or have been use patterns are sprawling and not really sustainable not really having any real sort of conductivity and cohesion with the community that they hold, and i really want to stress and hope thative seen presentations in the password to my p2 slides carpet 23 sides talking about here is where we are in your is where we might grow in the future, but the slides and some of these charts that you presented today are really compelling and particularly, have exceeded projections that we had in the past. I would hope theres an effort afoot on the mtas behalf to make sure that we were talking about changing the color valve or the mission whatever it might be, that we are taking it within this, with this in mind where we are doing these things with this in mind. Thank you. Rector other members of the public who wish to speak spirit yes we have one member of the public who turned in a speaker card. [calling names] good afternoon director. Howard strasser. I think thats a family gettogether with planning. Then using transit of course must Work Together. Our member being concerned about the housing jobs balloted for the Previous Mission bay but to go back to some of the things that might be the use shouldve shown you on this. They should have shown you the growth in cars number of cars per family number of cars per household total number of cars in the city. To go back with director ramos said i was to that chart from 19 6920 of to start and what to we want that the idea for 2000 but that was a long time ago. If you look at the 2040 how many cars are we going to have we have in the past because you doing so many things to reduce the number of cars. Does it work its good to see that. The other thing that i would say is when the great things that planning did for us in the 60s, was putting parking limits on Office Building spirit well, our building offices whether on a parking limits and the providing one or two full parking places for thousand square feet. The limiting the court it was. 2 Parking Spaces per square foot in them sending you a paper shortly on that. Thats very important.
