were adjusted also to all line with anticipated revenue as well. çwe will experience some reducd salary and fringe expenditures from the execution of the transfer of function of that one planner staff to the port, as i mentioned earlier. the department's work order with the department of building inspection for the server consolidation initiative that i discussed a few weeks ago -- anticipated expenditures on that will increase slightly from what i previously presented a few weeks ago. çmoving on to the department's grant budget, the grant budget -- the only change to this from what i presented to this commission on february 2 was the inclusion of a $20,000 grant that we anticipate being awarded from the california office of historic preservation. the grant will fund various efforts of communication about historic property in san francisco. ohp has previously funded
2:19 pm
efforts without a permit in prior years. other than that, no changes. we anticipate slight increases. this slide is the department's capital and technology request. there are no changes to these requests, as i presented a few weeks ago. we have already submitted three capital requests for the first three items on the table for the better market street project, the pavement to parks program, and the street tree inventory program. we will also be sending a technology request next tuesday on february 21 to fund the remaining activities of the implementation of the permit and project tracking system. now, i will move on to the department as a work program. this is an update from what i
2:20 pm
gave earlier in january. overall, the department is proposing to slightly reduce its full-time equivalent stockouts from 104.13 to 147.5 in fiscal year 2013, at slightly increased to 149.15 in fiscal 2013-2014. minor reductions are primarily attributed to additional salary and fringe expenditure savings from projected attrition and anticipated staff turnover and vacancies just from the normal course of business. this slide is the current planning division. the current planning division's fte's are anticipated to decrease in fiscal 2012-2013, and decreased from 52.73 to 52.37 in fiscal 2013-2014,
2:21 pm
compared to what i presented here on january 12. other than attrition savings, the only changes that were made were to reassign 0.5 of a vacant planner one position to the code enforcement position, add additional staff support resources, and reduce the one planner position from the execution of the transfer function of that one planner to the port. other than that, there were no changes to the program. moving on to the city wide planning division, this division -- their anticipated decrease from 31.37 to 30.66 and decrease from 31 with 37 to 27.96 in fiscal 2013 compared to what was presented here on january 12. again, the only changes here were some adjustments to attrition savings. moving on to the environmental
2:22 pm
planning division, the division are expected to -- fte's are expected to decrease, compared to what represented here on january 12, again, due to some minor adjustments to department's salary and fringe expenditures from attrition. moving on to zoning administration and compliance division, division's fte's are anticipated to increase in this book well -- fiscal 2012-2013, due to the change in digital earlier of the point by fte of a vacant planner one position being reassigned to code enforcement. finally, the administration division accounts are
2:23 pm
anticipated to increase from 30.86 to 32.45 an increase from 30.86 to 82.84 compared to what i presented here on january 12. aside from the attrition savings assumptions that were made, the only changes were to add resources for the pay will technical support positions i mentioned earlier, and resources to website support, and to the commission secretary function resourced changes. i delivered the same presentation yesterday where they recommended approval of the department as a budget. çwe can to the department's budget to the mayor's office next tuesday, and then i will come back to the commission if there are any changes to the department budget based on the
2:24 pm
redevelopment agency, changes the director had ventured earlier. i will also come back if there is any fee change legislation that will come back over the course of the next few months. the they will propose his budget on june 1. i will be happy to answer any questions you may have. thank you. president miguel: very good. is there any public comment on the budget presentation? if not, public comment is closed. commissioner sugaya: just an observation -- on the presentation and the materials we have in front of us, the numbers you were quoting from the fiscal year 2011-2012 totals are different than what are on the charts. in the narrative, i think you have the numbers that you were reading, but the totals are not the same. it is no big deal.
2:25 pm
>> i think the confusion is what he was quoting was the numbers that changed from what he presented last month, not from this year. basically, what happened is that the numbers were kind of refined over the past few weeks, so he was making the distinction between what he presented last month to what is now under fiscal 2012-2013 and fiscal 2013-2014. >> it is just confusing. the narrative below says increased fromç 30.86 to a 32.. >> at the last presentation, we had anticipated the 2012-2013 number to be 30.6. it is a little confusing. my apologies for that. çcommissioner sugaya: that is l right. i have another more specific question. ]ithe more detailed budget
2:26 pm
presentation in the japan town better neighborhoods plan, we have 0.5 fte through this year, which ends at the end of june, which i believe is enough to move forward with the plan, and next year, you have 0.1, which reflect the fact that work on a better neighborhood plan will wind down, and there will not be as much need for staffing at that point. but i have a question then on page 6. this is under environmental planning. it is activities b and e.
2:27 pm
product without dedicated funding to support ep's work, and e is in my middle work for city sponsored project without dedicated funding. for the japan town neighborhood plan, if it does in its final form require an environmental report, with that come out of either one of these two line items? >> probably. this is essentially -- with these line items showed our projects that are covered by a fairly small general fund allocation that we have to work on those kind of public projects. what we do every year with the budget is approved is kind of look at all the projects that are potentially on that list that do not have funding and decide which ones we can do because we generally cannot do all of them, so we have to kind of set priorities as we move forward. >> if it is a smaller
2:28 pm
allocation and it requires a larger eir, and perhaps we do not know exactly what that would be, with the department then have to seek additional funding for that specific project? >> we would. we currently are thinking it is not likely to be, but if by chance it will need to become the costs are so much higher that we would have to seek some additional funding. commissioner sugaya: ok, thank you. commissioner moore: i believe that this update is very thorough, very credible and layers old information on new insights, and i hope that you will have an asterisk somewhere in your presentation. i'm repeating myself, but the additional work you are undertaking bringing extra work to you will be reflected in that there will be staffing and funding to do a better job. i assume this is an action item, so i express my support.
2:29 pm
>> to everyone involved in this, i think the presentations have been timely, thorough, and relatively clear. i understand the statistical mix up today, but you have done a very clear job of letting everyone -- commission and public -- understand where we are. >> commissioners, the motion before you is to adopt the department's final budget commissioner antonini: and work programantonini aye. çcommissioner borden: aye. commissioner fong: aye. commissioner moore: aye. commissioner sugaya: aye. commissioner wu: aye. president miguel: aye.

>> the each neighborhoods plans were -- eastern neighborhoods plans were adopted by the planning commission in 2008 and approved january 19, 2009. the monitoring requirements are listed to ensure effectiveness of the plans. this requires that first five-year reportsç be releasedy july, 2005 but we're just now able to present this to the commission. the reports will be the first in the time series and will cover 2006 through 2010, roughly a couple of years before and a couple of years after the
2:34 pm
adoption and approval. a subsequent report will come out in july 216 and will cover july 11, 2015 and 2016. the resources include the annual housing inventory. the curely pipeline report, the different databases andç the m.t.a. and the mayor's office. section 10-e. 6. e also lists the different required categories of information and the reports will follow the order stated in the mandate and will cover commercial development trends, residential development trends,
2:35 pm
publicç benefits and historic surveys. the presentation wilpd follow te categories as stated in the mandate. first, on commercial space development nonresidential development in the five years between 2006 and 2010t( saw the net addition of 1.1 million commercial square feet in the eastern neighborhoods. the completion of the 907,000 judiciary foot office space. the butcher hill area. the picture in the background is the a.t.m. overall the new development in the eastern neighborhoods constituted almost 18% of all nonresidential development citywide for the period. much ofç the new development ce in the form of office use.
2:36 pm
note that this isç net square footage, meaning that there are other developments that added new commercial space and other projects that resulted in loss or conversion of commercial space. onto the pipeline. the commercial space pipeline in the eastern neighborhoods, if completed, will just be a slight uptick, a very small portion, about 1% of the commercial developmentçó, pipelines citywi. this is because of much proposed projects elsewhere in the city. this is another slice of the commercial pipeline byç land u. theçko addition of the commerc the general hospital expansion and significantly smaller growth
2:37 pm
in retail and office pace spaces. the loss in p.d.r. space explains much of the relatively low commercial additions to commercial square footage. 1/3 of the pipeline is under construction or have received entitlement. the remaining 2/3 are still under review. the square footage is not new net square feet. there is new commercial place in showplace square but you will see there is, i guess, a loss in the other, east soma and the mission. now on to p.d.r. while there was net adecision in the five years reported. the pipeline is showing a net
2:38 pm
loss of about 325,000 square feet, later to be converted or demolished. the picture here is the allows square building and construction has started to build 194 units in this space. we were asked to discuss employment terms. the second quarter of 2010 there were about 54,100 jobs in the area, representing about 10% of all jobs citywide. of these jobs, number one and three were in office jobs, about 25% in p.d.r. and another 25% were in retail services. this is another slice of the jobs distribution with the mission having proportionately
2:39 pm
more of the c.i.e. medical and retail jobs and p.d.r. jobs were mostly in east soma and showplace square. the monitoring mandate requires an accounting of new employment in the eastern neighborhoods, specifically new office and retail employment based on the commercial development trends. based on the new commercial development, we estimate that approximately 2,600 new office and retail jobs can be accommodated this is based on an average employee density, and it's just an estimate. the new p.d.r. space, on the other hand, can accommodate an estimated 130 jobs. now for the residential development trends. 2006 to 2010 were very good
2:40 pm
years for housingç production san francisco. an average of 2,500 units a year were built -- were added to the city's housing stock during this period. the eastern neighbor saw an decision of 2,100 units. as this slide shows where the units were built. 43% of the new units were built in east soma. as for affordable housing, just under a quarter of the units constructed in the eastern neighborhoods are affordable. this is about the same as the proportion citywide. about 60% of these units were affordable through public assistance. specifically this would be the rebuilding of thei] valencia gud
2:41 pm
skns new construction in the mission. the remainder are inclusionary units. this slide shows where the affordable units were built. you will see that the mission shows most of the affordable housing. this is again because of the 260 units in the valencia gardens, as well as the 151 units -- there are also 1 0 believe market rate units that were built as offsite compliance for infinity and they were built in the showplace square area and so you'll see the inclusionary units are far higher in the showplace square area. there are over 3,300 net new units in the pipeline for the eastern neighborhoods.
2:42 pm
however, this residential development pipeline for the bx>uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu the residential pipeline. uuuuu this is because the bulk of the housing pipeline are in three projects, which account for over 20,000 units. most of the new units will be in the show dppings place square ñzs 1,00 proposed on one turner, which is currently under planning review. east soma has about three proposed residential developments with over 150 units each. in the mission, the largest project is the 1 4 units -- 194 units that was proposed in formally p.d.r. space, and the
2:43 pm
picture you see in the background is the 196-unit development at third street in the dog patch neighborhood. this is almost complete and it was sold for 90 million. the monitoring reports also cover other changing to the housing stock, including housing stock preservation, specifically con do conversions and divisions by type. most of them were divisions. about 60% of the eastern neighborhood's total. as far as evictions are concerned, some 1,260 evictions or 13% of the citywide total were in the eastern neighborhoods. almost 8% were for owner movement which was about the
2:44 pm
same rate citywide. another six% -- 6% wereç for ellis act withdrawal, lower than the citywide rate and the bulk of the evictions were for other reasons. i came acrossq i thinkxd theç commissioners w recognize the person that was evicked from his homeç nearly four years before the reporting period. he had appeared before the commission several times so i thought it was a little interesting. public benefits. e.n.ç trips, the transportatio implementation plan for all the eastern neighborhoods. it has completed its existing andç future existing analysis understand current transportation opportunities and constraints in the eastern neighborhoods. findings and identified stragsx were presented at a community

park and for showplace square, the open space plan effort was conducted between april and december 2009. ultimately eight sites for an open space were identified in the show-place square-potrero him along withq each. funds have yet to be identified. the planning park is also working to identify a site with east soma for a public park. the monitoring reports also include inventories of existing community facilities as well as neighborhood serving establishments as a way of setting the baseline for these categories, as referenced in futureç monitoring reports. programs requires that all
2:47 pm
commercial development projects would net an addition of 25,000 gross square footage or more or to contribute to the city's jobs housing linkage program. there were no fees collected for commercial development in the eastern neighborhoods but citywide about 88 million was collected, mostly in properties in the downtown c-3 area.ç implementation of proposed programming. the eastern neighborhoods advisory committee first convened in the autumn of 2009 andç has been meeting monthly sinceç then. y believe members of the c.a.c. may be present and may speak after this presentation. so far the planning department has collected a total of 750,00ç in impact fee revenues over
