>> good afternoon, commissioners. i'm from the planning department staff and i manage the implementation team which was formed about three years ago to help with overseeing and coordinating the implementation of various area plants that have been recently adopted, the eastern neighborhoods, the better neighborhoods, etc. our goal is to make sure the visions and projects that are identified those plans, specifically the capital infrastructure that were identified in the community planning, come to fruition and serve the new growth and existing residents and workers as the neighborhood's change and develop over the next 20 years or so. some of the ways we work to fulfill that mandate to include our work coordinating with other agencies in terms of the capital planning for public
3:03 pm
improvements, including leading the interagency plan implementation committee, which is what we will be presenting our report on shortly. we also work closely with the community through the eastern neighborhoods to get their input on the implementation and best uses of the impact fee revenue that comes from the plans. we work with project sponsors to develop in kind agreement for building the public improvements along with their development projects and we track and coordinate with other agencies on specific capital projects, particularly through the transportation projects for eastern neighborhoods and make sure the projects move forward and to go after grants to get funding. lastly, we monitor the project and how they are implemented. we will be coming to you a few
3:04 pm
times in the next few months to talk about items related to the implementation program, starting with the impact fees. in february, we will talk about the eastern neighborhoods monitoring report as well as the final report for the even trips project. there will be more opportunities to talk about this topic. today's topic is the annual report of the interagency plan implementation committee. before she begins, i want to provide some context for that work. over the past five years or so, the city has adopted a number of significant new bread plants. other plans are going through various stages of the process.
3:05 pm
together, these plans represent about a quarter of the city's land we are changing the zoning regulations and providing area plan envisions for. they plan for an addition of 25,000 housing units. this accounts for roughly half the expected growth we have, so it is a significant amount of growth. along with the new growth, we recognize an essential need to provide infrastructure and the amenities to come with building maintenance, parks, st. abridgments, etc.. when those plans were adopted, those plants that fees that were adopted with them that would go
3:06 pm
toward the building of the neighborhood and for chartres. o pay for about 30% of the capital needs projected from the plans. there is a need to supplement that with other needs and grants and that is one of the things we do. h= go after these additional funding sources. that forms the basis of the report you are about to hear. i want to mention one of our recent successes which was mentioned in the previous item. that is the hayes street to way project. that first emerged in the better neighborhoods plant. it was a community idea to change haiti's street from a one-way street that was a conduit for traffic that was more neighborhood-serving and
3:07 pm
was better for pedestrians. that idea and that the that area plan and in that an we were to work with other agencies to make sure that project went through all of the channels and use impact fees to finalize the funding for that project and make it happen. if you have been out there recently, you can see it out there and working for the neighborhood. moving forward, we will see many more of these in future years and hope to come back with more stories in the future. with that, i will turn it over to cure certain to walk you through the report. -- will turn it over to kirsten. >> thank you for the overview.
3:08 pm
i'm here to speak about three items in your packet. the first is the interagency plan implementation report. this is a committee that was established by the city charter. it is about how we are planning to expand the development impact fees over the next five years. the second item is prepared by the comptroller. is there any question on that report -- hh finally, to talk about the new impact fee rates for 2012. every year we index the impact fees for inflation. first is the interagency plan committee. this is chaired by the planning department and i staff the committee.
3:09 pm
representatives from the nba -- mta, parks and recreation and transportation authority and the capital planning authority and the mayor's office participate. we look at the projected impact fee revenue. !6 projects given the work projects they have and this year, we have done a lot of work to make sure the agencies are hearing what happens and so each agency has presented about the major work projects and it was an opportunity for dialogue to happen. in your packet, you will see the final recommendations and those were supportive of the direction you were going.
3:10 pm
this is first presented to the planning commission and in early february, we will go to the capital planning committee and then finally we will go to the board of supervisors. falling back, the agencies will take the budgets we have created, projects in the budget and actually start building that next year. that is very exciting. i wanted to share with you the projected impact revenue plan for each area. we have divided into budgeted and forecasted. the budgeted pieces are in the next two years. it is roughly $5 million, a little bit more for each year. further years out, you will see more revenue coming in. the economy has slowed down, so we are not seeing a lot of
3:11 pm
projects move forward. we are assuming most projects will choose to participate, so those that move forward are paying a small knot in the beginning and the balance further years out. it gives a sense of what kinds of questions we're trying to answer and how we can think about moving that infrastructure side at forward. i wanted to talk a little bit about for each plan, there has been a lot of progress on one of the parks that was identified in the plan. this was a map and you can see this big park that was identified.
3:12 pm
that item was before the bad and and kind agreement for 333 harrison, which is being developed by emerald sons. we've done a lot of work to figure out how to move that project forward. there is an infrastructure financed district that will help to fund the balance of that park and we believe it will start construction sometime in late 2012. the other project we see coming are seven streetscape improvements associated with 45 lansing and the construction of the guy plays park. this is the star of today, which everyone is going to think it's because i worked on it so much. but the hayes street to way project is very surprising because it's one of those ideas that came out of the plan that was community-driven.
3:13 pm
also it was the first project we have worked together to identify as a priority and before. it was also a super low-cost project, which is unusual. that is not the case for most of the project. in the market octavia plan, and going to focus on that area. there's a lot of work happening. these maps show the expendituress the projects. what we building with impact the money? you can see some work on market street and some work on some major intersections along market and a bicycle lane work.
3:14 pm
this is what we are programming impact fee money for. but a lot more work is happening with non-revenue -- non-impact the money revenue. bill little orange pies -- if it was a full circle, that means the impact the money is paying for 100% of the project. there is no case where impact fee is running the entire project. this says helping us think creatively about how to take the impact the money and stretch it along with other public sources. the big projects are the haight street project which we got a major grant for and pedestrian improvements along market street. balboa park, this is the example of the -- of what is the
3:15 pm
back of the report. there are a lot of projects identified and the revenue is quite small. in balboa park, we have differed a lot of the work until more detail transportation planning is completed. we are doing more work to figure out how to resolve the bart station and a major changes from the community around light rail. finally, eastern neighborhoods, we anticipate the largest amount of impact many feet from and not the largest project are hoping to fund is the folsom st. scape improvement. i don't want to steal the thunder from the presentation from the end of february, but this gives a good overview of what we are trying to do with revisiting folsom st..
3:16 pm
that was identified as a priority project. we anticipate a large about the impact fee revenue and on the open side, a lot of revenue on folsom park, which i know you have heard a lot from. we are only using the impact fees to fund 30%. the report talks about a number of the grants we have secured to balance these things out. we hope to use this tool ie eastern neighborhoods and we're doing some work on that as well. a resolution was passed import of the expenditure -- in support of the expenditure. i circled an addendum to the table that adds a note articulating some of the
3:17 pm
specific ideas around pedestrian improvement. the second report is the development impact the report required as part of article 4 of the planning code. this was drafted by the comptroller's office and you saw it last year as well. the new thing the sheer is an accounting of fees that were deferred and there is a table on page 2 that shows how much fees were deferred as opposed to collected. that is a topic we will hear more about. 4: last night asking for a reporting of the effectiveness of this program in terms of stimulating development. i believe the board of supervisors asked for an informational hearing on the same item. i would like to draw that table
