area, exclusive of one metered parking spaces. about 3% of nonresidential parkingreduction of the plan alo resulted in zoning districts that modified the city's on 121 parking requirements -- one to one parking requirement. this included those that were subject to the new rules. 600 parking spaces were terminated -- permitted in residential development areas. these were not quite at the level.

there were reports on implementation of programming. the market act octavia was convened in 2009 and has spent meeting regularly. the faculty presenting their supplementary after this presentation. a total of $103,618 has been collected as part of the community improvement program and they have yet to be expended. three major historic surveys have been completed. this is since the adoption of the plan. this includes an area plan survey. the mission plan survey and the augmentation survey. the market octavia plan included the program standards with

10,000 square feet or more of commercial development. the first source hiring program had no data available at the time that this report was returned. that concludes my presentation. i will be available for questions. >> cac was going to give a report. >> i am kirsten from the planning department. they have done a lot of work and preparation for this presentation today. you will see on the back of the pact at their supplemental report, which is almost as long as theresa's report. we will highlight the main points that they have in their executive summary.

>> i think the way we have this is we have a team of what is now four. and then other cac members would like to comment. the little four-person set up. >> maybe 15 minutes, like the project sponsor. >> like i said, i think other cac members would like to comment. >> commissioners, for this item, i come before you in the capacity of the chair of the committee. i have a closet full of hats. i am glad we had the last discussion. this is like a little laboratory for most things that we talked

about last time. it has been one of the pleasures of being on the advisory committee is to see how this thing works. this is arguably the most advanced comprehensive set up planning policies and duals that the city has done. we are trying to figure out how to debug it along the way. the last few years the cac has been functioning has given a chance to step back and look at development, which for most of us as community activists, we look at it one piece at a time. our heads are down and we look at it in the trenches. our cac report his kind of a policy reid -- recap. we appreciate the analysis that staff has done. what were the underlying goals

and policy visions of market octavia? are we falling short or going south? what we are not quite to touch upon tonight, but i would suggest are equally important, are more operational aspects of the cac in the department and how it works, the of for structure and how we should be monitoring in the future. we really should be paying attention to standards in decode all of that. there are some things that could be done differently next time. my colleague had to leave, unfortunately. he is one of our cac m embers. he is going to touch on our

comments on housing. some of our colleagues might also touch upon that. we will point out policy consequences, a primary issue which is inclusionary housing. let's call it affordable housing. there is very little we have seen coming through market octavia. one can argue that there has not been much development at all, so what is the concern? i will put the map up here. there is a pretty healthy pipeline of development according to the staff members, 580 new units of housing with another 200 units in the pipeline. there is a lot of action. it might be on paper, but it is coming through you every month or as few on thursdays. we are not seeing affordable housing projects come through the pipeline.

you mentioned here in the stock reports of 140 affordable units. that is one project. that happens to be at the northern edge of the planning areas. this is a ccd project essentially. there is no low-income housing. the dmr units show 20 or 30. most developers are now seeing out. they are paying the a kick -- at the feet. it has said that very exacerbating in the last three or four months. the project was switched to offsite. we have a strong resolution, which is in this report, about our opinion on that. we will also push for some

alternatives. what we see that as a real alternative, i will turn it over to the next speaker. this was done on the fly. one of my friends and colleagues who can do this on the fly. those 584 housing units that have been built by their affordability level relative to the regional housing needs allocation projection of how housing should be built by affordability level if we are to be reaching that sustainability level. the combination of the low and very low-income units should be about 37% of all reduction or 17% in one project. the moderate income should be about 27%. we have 43 units at 7%. market rate you nets, or those that are not at below market,

are at 75% of the projected need. this is not a all the different than what we see every year which is the above market rate production. that is almost twice as high as the quote needs. we are seeing that trend in the market. we have policies that tell us it is not a good thing. we have mechanisms to avoid this trend. >> the following up on peter, i am the jason and i am the vice- chair of the advisory committee and i am also a renter in the market batavia neighborhood, although i have a pretty good job. this has been a pretty large process over the past two years. we welcome the 6000 new units. the discussion you just tap was very interesting and revealing.

we are grappling with all of the same issues. we are concerned that the city has forsaken the plan area, and i do not mean the planning department or the commission. transit has been obliterated. there has been a lot of foot dragging in the city to help fund the infrastructure that we need to fund the housing units that could be built. we have to cause a 100 on the way in the pipeline. the buses are full at filmore. this is full by the time it gets into the dubose triangle area. the city has four second us on parking pricing. i am addressing this city-wide.

the city has set for second us on reforming los, which means that we will be spending all this money. a good chunk of that is intersection los, millions of dollars debt could go to operating transit. i am this comment at developers and to some extent, the west side of the city, where is consistent blocking of tax increases and fees and other measures and for our efforts to do true smart growth and to do airport in the region. we need $300 in cash to expand muni to meet the greenhouse gas emissions goals. we need another $300 million annually for the operations of

muni. i am supposed to talk about the in infrastructure capacity. i just want to bring that to your attention. our neighborhood is aware that we are being asked to accept this growth. there has been very little in terms of infrastructure. one way to get at this affordability issue is to really get bold and tell the developers, no parking so we are not attracting mercedes-benz and bmw upscale residents. they will not come to a no parking development. the discussion about taking the freeway down needs to be sped up. i will turn it over to robin, who is going to talk about some of the transportation issues. >> good evening, commissioners.

i am just going to read you a portion of the plan. envision an urban neighborhood that provides for a mix of people of various and comes and lifestyles. everyday needs could be met on a short walk. it is easy and safe to get around on foot by bicycle and public transportation. imagine this connected to the city as a whole where owning a car as a choice, not a necessity and streets are attractive and inviting. this opens the market octavia plan. we had a long discussion about transportation. i think the plan recognizes that transportation is a key element to making the plan worked. the plan calls for taking choices for movement and fostering alternatives to the car. make streets safe and attractive

places to walk. that addresses the issue of tearing down the central freeway. the pilot of plans that they specifically call for it is doing improvements to the sidewalks to make the pedestrian and the environment more inviting. creation of new public gathering spaces. improvements to the bicycle infrastructure and the transit as well as parking policies that encourage use of transit and make better use of public space and discourage car use. since the plan has been implemented, we have seen several of these improvements made where there are more bike lanes in the area. they can convert this to a gathering spaces such as 17th

and market street. the brt is in the works. on haight street and the rerouting of buses is in the works. we are talking about congestion pricing. san francisco cta is doing a study to look at circulation studies around octavia boulevard. there are some parking management strategies that have been implemented. we are still a long way away from our goals. a lot of things need to be done. our neighborhood is still inundated with traffic. this is on market, and hayes. our residential streets are

becoming inundated with traffic such as lou do not end buchanan. we are experiencing a lot of road rage, a lot of honking. i had an experience when i was walking my dog at laguna and paige. i was attacked by a road race driver and i was sent to the hospital for walking my dog. parking ratio maximums have sometimes been ignored. we really have to stick with those parking ratios. i think every parking space has added to this neighborhood compromises the plan. we have to think carefully about adding more cars and parking to this neighborhood. we can take the development. when people bring their cars, it

is a disaster. not only for our neighborhood, but for everybody that traverses the neighborhood. you go to peach street and it is loaded with cars getting ready to get on the freeway. hundreds of pedestrians have to dodge cars from filmore to octavia. there have been severe muni cuts. we have a long way to go. we understand that because of the economic downturn, there has not spent as much development as we expected. we do not have the community improvement money. we have to be ready when that development comes on line. we have to have these improvements. paige street needs to be a

bicycle priorities straight. we have to improve muni. thank you very much. >> in many ways, this is an extension of the staff presentation. i think we will go to public comment. >> commissioners, it is such a pleasure to be with you again today. i want to commend our colleague who has guided this for 2 years through our deliberations. the code requires that monitor reports on long-term projects include recommendations on the growth. this was included to make a report relevant. when the project is completed, rather than a significant improvement meeting temporary

conditions, one might produce a limited plan from the earlier period when it was conceived. all agencies dealing with the visionary growth of the city, this cac and all future ones should understand the citywide perspective so as to benefit from the comprehensive compound and the fact of the multiple large-scale neighborhood plans, by that i am referring to the 10 projects you have just heard about in the sustainable communities report. we should all be carrying forth the same vision coherent play. this will impact the plans of the area and in the second section of our report, which list several of these new trends. our city has numerous plans being implemented to generate resources. it is cheaper to reduce and conserve energy than to produce it. they should not meet the minimum

current standards, but exceed maximum ones. we should have neighbors insulate before generating power. those surrounded by water, we must recognize it as a precious resource. drain water can be used rather than flushing it into sewers. they can be piped into our systems for fire prevention. we must raise the bar to use our resources. card sharing. in the decade since the inception, the citizens have adopted car sharing on commercial and personal, which is easily accessible. since this produces private car ownership from one to 20, we must ensure that they include sufficient spaces throughout the area. they had five gas stations. all but one are designated for

high-rise developments. since electric hybrid plug and cars have proved themselves and us significantly reducing consumption, we have to realize that fueling stations whether it be liquid natural gas, hydrogen, whenever fuels need to be incorporated into, not the city does not envision eliminating all cars. finally, bicycles. they are 80 polluting, healthy alternative to mass transit. this includes but manual and electric cycles. as long as they can proceed safely without endangering pedestrians and be protected from automotive vehicular traffic. these areas are advantageous for cyclists. to protect these people, we should it swap parked cars and bicycle lanes.

protecting cyclist from doors opening. we should provide dense and secure parking. we should implement our local air regional bicycle sharing programs that have been investigated for a number of years. they can be a leader in all aspects of cycling. for the city to develop organically, coherently, and comprehensively, all major city developments should leverage one end of her -- one another's leading concepts. >> i would like to open it up for public comment. is kevin still here? he stepped outside? >> i would like to speak a little bit about affordable housing. i live at market and delores before all of the development

coming through the pipeline. there is the whole foods, 86 units. across the street, there is 100 units going in. i am telling you this because i am an artist. i am an art teacher. i could not live here without being in a rent-controlled flat. when they went to $1,800 a month, there is no way i could have stayed. i am in a school where they do not have artists. without the ability for someone as myself to live here in the city and afford a place, you are not going to have the diversity that you need to have this city

run in a way that is functioning at a high level. ragwort a playground for the rich, but that is what is happening. there is not one of affordable housing place going into the development. my concern is for the city to see that full development and for you to be aware of this. this is how i would imagine this. i wanted to speak to you. >> i am going to speak on item 13 and strategically speak on 12 right in the middle.

>> i know your director will be seized once again. this is not the first time we have made this proposal. perhaps the fifth, sixth, or seven times as the charm. i hear everybody's frustration with the situation that we all face, having to think regionally and act locally with no resources. there is an action that you can take that will send a great message to the region and hopefully to the national level. that would be to start winking your decisions on approval projects on availability of resources for transit, communities and in for structure, and for affordable housing. we will be proposing three

amendments to the affordable housing element in the implementation state -- implementation section. the station has changed when you guys are required to do. you will be required to do quarterly reports on how you are achieving your goals. i would ask that there be real- time monitoring of affordable housing reduction. each time you come, you are given a packet by staff on a housing development. you are given the running total of how close you are to the goals and what the approval of this project would mean. you are hearing a total asymmetric nature of affordable housing. this will keep it obvious to you and hopefully to the public. there should be a linkage between affordable housing and market rate housing. if we are out of compliance with rena, you should stop approving

the of market raced development. -- rate development. you ought to start improving market rate and affordable housing development. until that infrastructure investment is made. am i talking absolute insanity and craziness? i am saying good night approved market rate for affordable housing. i am talking about hard, practical politics. the only way we are going to begin to address the needs that we have is if we have the private sector development community on our side. the way you get them on your side is to make shorure that thr projects are approved. that is to get back the public

sector commitment, including the commitment for revenue. thank you. >> thank you. >> commissioners come mark from the north mission. 299 valencia, shame on this commission, by going above the five to one parking. are you trying to kill us? i am asking as a bicyclist. this had more input than the eastern neighborhoods. they called for the freeway to be torn down. tear down this freeway. it has got to be torn down. if you to do it yourself, it would be great. >> we have conserve the exact same kind of equity. we are taking a hit on that. mr. welch said that you guys are not going to do it because they

have too much money coming at them from developers. we have got to go to the ballot and make it so that you do not have a choice so that when they do not proceed to a pace that interim controls are triggered. when they expire, secondary controls are triggered. that is what it is going to take. the economics and politics are just not in place for you to do the right thing. what you are doing the signing a death warrant for the transit system. when we put in eight to one parking, that is next to the mission street lines. when people go out to the ramps, they are contesting that every morning. people say that i cannot wait 20 minutes to get from 16th minutes -- 60 minutes down to south van ness.
