information can be accessed from your computer and even on your cellular phone or personal digital assistant. knowing their arrival time of the bus allows riders the choice of waiting for it or perhaps doing some shopping locally or getting a cup of coffee. it also gives a greater sense that they can count on you to get to their destination on time. the next bus our arrival information is also transmitted to bus shelters around the city equipped with the next bus sign. riders are updated strictly about arrival times. to make this information available, muni has tested push to talk buttons at trial shelters. rider when pushes the button, the text is displayed -- when a rider pushes the button. >> the success of these tests led to the expansion of the program to all stations on the

light rail and is part of the new shelter contract, push to talk will be installed. check out the new technology making your right easier every day

commissioner moore: move to approve. [laughter] >> thank you. ton motion for approval of the draft minutes -- [calling roll] thank you, commissioners. the draft minutes have been approved as they have been drafted. and the other commission matters? commission moore: i attended a land meeting yesterday morning. a very interesting summary on 2012 case events that have bearing on planning commission matters, review of sicsequa in 1 an update on redevelopment agencies, and the different kind of things that happened

across the state of california. in my heart went out to our successor agency and members, because when you hear it in more detail by experts that describes the effects in different communities, it is hair raising. and i think it would be not only difficult for the director, but i think it will also rippled down into the things that we will be looking at in will be equally difficult. i hope we will get updates and help from anyone who can prepare us to take on this new task. there were also a couple of interesting reports on wetlands and endangered species act. and i will be happy to lend the documents that came out of that meeting that will be worthwhile

taking a glance at. and commissioner antonini: thank you. earlier this week i was part of a presentation with a couple of other commissioners from project sponsors for 2 001 folsom which was approved in an approval process of 2003. this is the completion of the project, which i would be happy to report. it seems to be moving forward, and we have the design presentation that was required for the commissioner to take a look at the design before they went forward. but was interesting out of this presentation, and this was a subject that was frequently brought up. everyone wants to know the context of the people who live in these new projects that have just been completed. the project sponsor volunteered they have about 1000 residents

there in these towers. he said the record shows 75% are full-time records. the other 25% are split equally between 12.5% ranchers. we hear a lot of representation, and this is only one project, but it may be representative of many of the new projects that have been built, project early self of market -- south of market. it would appear that a very high percentage of people do make this their full-time residents. also, it is entirely sold, all eyes are many of these. we often hear representations' there is a full flood of unsold condominiums, which is not the case, opera to curly in this area. i thought that was very interesting, and hopefully we can have later presentations from other projects as we go

forward to tell us about the characteristics of the people who live there in terms of whether their full-time residents, whether they have cars or not, how many children. one other thing that came out of this is there will be a lot more larger units. another words, two and three bedrooms as opposed to the earlier iteration, which had more studios in one bedroom. they found they have so many families that this has become a popular configuration. that is very encouraging. commissioner borden: we talked about having a hearing this month on the african american out migration. i want to make sure we get that on the calendar. we're already in february and the time will be passed very quickly. maybe we can look at the last thursday of the month. the second thing is

redistricting. i know it is not our jurisdiction, but it would be interesting to have someone talks about the process. i recognize in a lot of ways from our standpoint it does not matter in the same sort of way, but it is a big issue that will affect land use and decisions in other ways. maybe someone from the task force were chair could come talk about the process and how things can be engaged in can ponder what, if any, implications it has for us. >> i have been meeting with people regarding the project that will probably come to us and a few months and have had the pleasure of attending a forum on sales force at mission

bay. standing-room-only into the hall. obviously very interesting questions came up. very interesting presentation, and we will see it here shortly. >> thank you, commissioners. if there are no other matters, we can move on to directors report, which involves announcements and review of the past events. >> thank you. good afternoon, commissioners. a couple of things i want to tell you briefly. not a whole lot to report on the past week on the redevelopment agency elimination, except that the redevelopment agency no longer exist as of yesterday. we knew that was coming in the past couple of weeks. the board of supervisors did approve legislation that the mayor put forward, as well as

creating the successor agency. as you recall the portable housing asset will go to the mayor's office of housing and all other assets will go to the city administrator's office. the comptroller's office is setting up a trust fund to except the fund from those areas. casthose funds will be used as y are obligated to be used under existing contracts. the remaining guns will be distributed as they would be to the normal taxing entities. san francisco is both a set county and city, we are in a better shape than those that have to be split. since we are in one government, we are in somewhat better shape. beyond that, the logistics of how we're going to operate as an oversight board and successor agency are still to be determined.

you probably know the staff of the agency will continue for at least two months. it buys them some breathing room, the city breathing room to help work this out to determine what stopped oversize board will need -- what staff the board will meet. it is a huge issue that is consuming a lot of time from a lot of people to figure that out. i cannot even tell you that this point when the first meeting because the schedule has not been set yet. but as soon as we know, i will try to get that information to you. the second issue is that the mayor has kicked off a meeting of a housing trust fund committee today an hour and a half ago. this is a large group has asked to convene from all members of the housing community from activist to developers to

finance folks to look at the issue of how to develop alternative funding mechanisms for affordable housing, particularly in light of the lost tax increment from redevelopment, which was the city's largest single source of affordable housing. the goal of the mayor has given us is to look at a range of financing mechanisms. he made it clear that everything was on the table, but if we were to recommend that some of these mechanisms might require a ballot measure, he has asked to do that in the timely way so we to get something on november ballot. that work will have to proceed very quickly in order to make the november ballot. back to the redevelopment for one second. because of the unknowns, we also do not know what the impact on the department's budget might be. what you will see today is the budget does not reflect yet

anything read -- related to redevelopment. so if and when that does happen, we will have to come back to you with additional information, and perhaps a supplementary budget request at that time, but we just do not know yet. in we're hoping we will know and the next few months. that is my presentation unless there are any questions. commissioner sugaya: does the city know or have made a projection on the amount of -- tax increment will still be collected uncertain project areas, but is that -- will increment not be collected in other areas, and has the city made a projection on how much that is? >> the comptroller is running those numbers right now. you are correct that it will not be collected out of -- other in those three areas. mission bay, hunters point, and

mission bay area 1. -- transbay area 1. there are four other taxing entities that will also get the funds as they would normally. >> good afternoon, commissioners. emery rogers to give you your weekly review of the board of supervisors as they pertain to planning and land use. i would like to start off with something that happened at the rules committee hearing last week. one of which requires analyzing proposed legislation that might negatively affect jobs. and in those circumstances this charter amendment would be required for the small business

commission to review the economic impact. last week that was amended to include the planning commission in review of anything that might negatively affect job loss. and that piece of ordinance will be heard later today at the rules committee as it has been amended. this week at the land use committee hearing they heard the glen park community plan come in this would be an ordinance for the plan. this is culminating approval for 10 years worth of community planning. the commission considered the ordnances and recommended approval on november 10 of last year. at that time you approved the document as drafted. this week supervisor wiener officially sponsored the legislation and recommended approval to the committee. department staff provided an overview of the plan and supervisors comments included strong interest in seeing transportation projects implemented by sf mta.]
