own testing, that is what we want. as we move forward, we will be using a lot of sell funds and will be using a lot of technology. we have to start it out. we can't wait and then catch up. when also need to look at other countries. thank you very lunch. >> is there any additional comments? >> commissioners, we're going to item no. 5.

>> we're going to provide you with a brief introduction. this planning efforts to have launched, the drivers are behind doing this plan out. it is now under construction. it will be in operation in a few years.

the land use response was in order. as you may remember in the eastern neighborhoods plan, there was an area primarily south of the freeway and a little bit north. it was and still is a hot zone -- zoned sli. it will consider what land use response will be in order to the transportation investment. we are very excited to get started. the planning area is generally horner two blocks on either side of forestry. as you can see on the graphic, the exact boundaries of the planning area are still a little fuzzy.

the east and west boundaries, it remains to be seen through the planning process. that is sort of the general parameters. there are three primary aspects of the land use. and that the primary focus of this effort. and very closely tied is the urban form of valuation. and how it affects the urban landscape. industry today, there are many transportation programs currently under way that cover

the broader south of market. there is a list of other planning efforts that are under way. this plan does not intend to take another overlap and comprehensive plan to look at transportation, the within the subway project, will be looking at opportunities to more immediately and directly improved public spaces in the corridor. it is very focused on the immediate infrastructure. we have seen the nihon to see what other programs are necessary. we will be working with that. and they will be providing matching funds. in terms of the schedule that

will kick off in early february, we just started the early outreach efforts. we are continuing these outreach efforts through the middle of june or so. at which point, we will start developing concepts to bring out to the public. the whole hope is that we wrap this up by the end of the year with a draft plan. you will note on the schedule that the initiation of a pending funding, which only have the funding so far for this initial planning process. to get us through a initially what is a concept plan. there are also resources for additional funding where we can continue with the process. a couple words about the context for this plan, you're familiar with the various regional and

statewide planning that we have, the greenhouse gases and development that is pertinent to this planning efforts. it is very closely tied with regional transit. particularly, the many other planning efforts, there is a keen interest in work places. it can accommodate growth and workspace. and it is a workup on its own. in the empirical evidence that in terms of people commuting to work by transit, locating jobs next to a fixed rail and regional transit is the most important thing you can do. that will be a major focus of this effort.

the city has done a lot of work with a major focus on housing. but not as much on jobs. this plan is taking the opportunity to plan and job growth, in particular, office growth in the city. there is a substantial amount of development potential in the area. the northern portions of this area, some areas to the west have been largely built out. but once you move further south, there are substantial opportunities whether they are low scale or industrial buildings. we'll be taking a more focused look to see how we can move them into the plan. there is a substantial amount of

demand for development in this area of. while there is still high vacancy in the district, there is almost no vacancy in the south of market and the rent has substantially risen. the record there is now approaching those in the financial district. we are trying to get out what is attracting people to that area and what kinds of building stocks are they looking for? how can we accommodate them? as part of south of market is a very diverse area. that would be a mixture of

housing and workspace. we're going to be taking a close look about how we can be having that rich mixture without losing the key qualities that make south of market what it is. we will be taking a close look at opportunities to improve pedestrian walking around the area. we have a series that we have been going around to community groups. they have an interest in this area. there groups that have been neighborhood organization focused on a single block there is a whole list of groups we have already met with.

we have also been meeting with real estate interests. we have also met with many office users an tech companies. we have a technical advisory committee made up of city and regional agencies. we are rolling out a very comprehensive got reprogram. we will have a series of walking jurors. a whole their web presence. we're looking at how to broaden the average tools have to engage people in a more interactive way. we're looking at ways to utilize facebook and those sorts of tools. that concludes my presentation.

if you have any questions about this effort, i will be happy to answer them. i will be back before you to talk about this process more. president olague: what housing is existing currently in those areas that might be affected by this? that is my question. and >> we have a background report that is nearing completion. it lays out the existing conditions and those issues. we will delve down into the land use issues. commissioner moore: and job growth. relatively interested in seeing what sectors d.c. growing.

it is how your numerically tracking the household. many people are interested in light of the fact that you only focus on tourists and the biotech. it seems to be humane orientation that would be other possibilities. commissioner antonini: i appreciate your report. empirically, it is an area of where i have run from down around the area in north, i have noticed quite a change with the increase in the number of people that are living and working down the street. i think you will see a

significant increase of in jobs and housing. the latest element of its is those headed across the base and to the housing that is down in mission bay, it was recently opened and that is a fairly significant number of people. president olague: any public comment on this item? >> i am really hoping that this plan does what recent plans haven't done, to take a very close look at transportation infrastructure and already it is to support growth. the city has been coasting for many years on investments that were made in 1970.

both of them have served us well. they are really purging capacity. if you were there in 2008, the stations are bursting at the seams. any of these recent plans really haven't done that. it was frustrating being part of the discussion when you are saying that the community benefits package needs to include capacity. there is a great cautionary tale. they did not believe in public infrastructure, but they believe in financing and development. it was a kind of very short railway like the subway. it could not very many people. they had to double the length of the platform. much easier to do with an

elevated system that a subway. we have to extend the underground. i don't want to make that mistake again. we have to be smart about making sure that the public transit is there. it is not a high capacity subway. it will not carry a lot of people. it will make sure that the amount of growth hue are anticipating can be accommodated. as development happens, investment flows towards buying incremental capacity. the that those original characters -- the of that goes to regional. even though we charge the

[unintelligible] probably not paying as much as they should, but it is not going where it should go. really integrating land use and transportation will be the thing that we do with this plan. the way that it was built off of a very transit first kind of perspective, rather than the more recent plans which tended to separate land use and planning, to the discredit into disfavor of both. president olague: any additional public comment? >> i want to follow up on what thomas said. the downtown plan has resumed a massive increments, and they also were assuming that most of

the growth would have been north of our history. i went through all three rounds as well as eastern neighborhoods. the planning department kicks over the local transit issues and the mta does not follow through. we have not added a massive infrastructure. we're waiting for the solution. we don't have a transit system south of market. they are long walks. it is a long walk to the streets. that is not factored in right now. i can take you down third street. as you go through mission bay,

we have the t-line, but no connecting. we do this all the time. it is a wasteland for transit, but whatever was going the walk. it is hard when you are walking uphill with groceries or you are a senior citizen or you have kids. we have done all of these studies for these tiny little segments that are just a tiny little bit. it is not the solution. south of market has cracked transit -- crap transit. the planning department has as much responsibility as muni does. you working the problem down the road while you are adding he density and we don't have the transition. i challenge anyone to use it as

your way to get around all over the south of market and you will find out you can't military >. >> i was shocked to find out the mta cut the number 12 bus service . instead of going down to the waterfront, it is on second street where the 12 stopped going east word. there are 32 kids living there. a lot of the folks that bought

units where i live, they're not as mobile and agile as they used to be. while a has been cut out over the years, there is still an incline. president olague: any additional public comment? public comment is closed. >> i wanted to let the commission of that the team is here today, and sarah will be overseeing the effort. >> commissioners, we can move forward to item number six, the demonstration of the property and information.

>> awarded to tell you how excited i am about this new technology that the department has on their web site as of this week, i believe. this presents a wealth of information for the public to use that otherwise would have taken a lot of time or required a trip down to the planning department to find out. because of the changes, we will be able to prepare this information and make it available to the public on line. we are quite thrilled about that. it is probably the most important iteration of the recent improvements to the web site. >> brian smith, the director of itt. thanks for that introduction. we are very excited, and it is my pleasure to show you the property information that.

a couple of things came together. it is our application, and some cloud technology to be able to push our information they the to have that available on line. i will go over here and go through some of the benefits of having the information available. we have also holding it with homebuilding information home inspections as well. and there is a direct a blank half of our main page. you can get to these advances go property information map. one of the really neat features about this is that you can early -- really click in.

if you don't know the case number or the property address, if i were to go to the search here and hit enter, he will bring you to the exact same of patients. and the other addresses it is also known by. it is really an amazing search of venue here as well. and we have a bunch of tabs your that will give you the information. there are some links right here , you can get that information. you can go down again to other matters and have both on top of each other if you like. it is very quick, very robust.

the assessor information is down below here. it is also a nice feature. it comes down to other regulations that relate to the planning total. it will bring up the information that is relevant to that. we get in the preservation information. the landmark no. 21 is great. we also have a bunch of survey field forms the you can get the animation and just by clicking the link as well. here is an old form that is also pertinent to this information here. you can see the latest projects,

and project information. we link the planning information center here for information. if it is a relatively your project case, it is certainly nice to have. willing to the building permits as well. you can come here and look at some of the quick information. it goes to the website and pulls of in-house the building permit information as well. the other permits are miscellaneous permit. as you scroll down, we have had complaints related to the planning department. as far as the vacco is, if you are not sure where you're going, but you have a street or

an address that can get you close, you can move this icon around and placing it on the parcel that you would like and get that information as well. you can tie that in and it brings you to the church. there are a couple of tabs here that are nice. the preservation haphazard who gets you to more survey field forms. if he wanted to use a case number, there is an example.

the reason i am pulling this up is because under projects, where an of linking all of our commission agendas on line. this is a your case. you'll be able to click on the commission packet as well. we will be joining or adding more information. [inaudible] we will be progressing this and moving in for for the public, i think it is a great tool. if you have any questions, feel free. commissioner miguel: i went on

the web site and play around with that. the number of addresses and and by moving the icon, it works beautifully. the information is very fast. it is very complete and it will service the city very well. commissioner antonini: is a san francisco property information that? -- map? >> propertymap.sfplanning.org. the main page has a banner that rotates. the banner is clickable. there is a hyperlink down at the bottom. commissioner moore: you are

suggesting is really easy. the only question is, will you be continuously updating? >> currently, there is about a too weak or 30 day delay -- two week or 30-day delay on lag time. it is relatively new right bell. building inspection does go back to their page. commissioner sugaya: i did go on line during the week and it works great. but how do we report what we know our errors?
