6:11 pm
protection bond act of 2006. this grant would supplement the department's park bond for the renovation of the cliff house and would pay for the green elements on that project, including landscaping. the grant requires that a memorandum be filed and that the site be used for recreational purposes for the next 20 years. in the unlikely event that the site is sold or transferred, it prohibits indirect costs. lastly, in preparation for the resolution, it has taken a bit longer than we had anticipated in during that time the project had actually begun. therefore, the department is respectfully requesting that the resolution be amended to state that this would be a retroactive authorization. i am available to answer questions. supervisor elsbernd: can you

[unintelligible] >> good morning, supervisors. my name is douglas. i have lived in san francisco for 60 years. i would like to speak in favor of this resolution. i feel that many neighborhoods in san francisco have been underserved by part in iraq -- parked in rack -- park and rec, so it is good to see the that
6:13 pm
area is getting what it should have gotten a long time ago. i used the comparison to the playground i am very familiar with, which underwent a beautiful renovation and i think that other areas of the city, especially the lower income neighborhoods, need the same kind of treatment. i also noted that on today's agenda there is only three items, so i would like to suggest an item that was in the examiner last thursday, march the eighth, entitled supervisor the bad behavior. it is a real eye opener. by. supervisor elsbernd: seeing no other members of the public, testimony is closed -- public comment is closed. can we do the amendment to accept this retroactively? done without objection. seeing no other questions or comments, we will send this

6:15 pm
6:16 pm
>> a meeting will come to order. good afternoon, everyone. this is the land use and economic development committee member of the -- meeting of the san francisco board of supervisors. before i ask for announcement, i wanted to thank the sfgtv staff for broadcasting us today. >> please make sure to silence all cell phones and electronic devices. >> thank you. we have four items on the agenda. >> hearing on the interagency plan implementation committee annual progress report and the
6:17 pm
planning and development and, at -- impact fee report. >> kirsten dischinger. >> good afternoon, supervisors. i wanted to let you know that our team is part of the city wide group of the planning department. we are working on implementing the various area plans. there are a couple of pieces to that. our group focuses on the infrastructure aside and the capital planning and to make sure the city's coordinating with growth when doing our infrastructure planning.
6:18 pm
i will be talking about a few of our reports about our progress without work. -- with that work. i want to talk about how we are implementing our plan and how we are using the enter agency plan. -- interagency plan. some of the key projects we are seeing move forward. this is an annual update. there are two reports that we provided for you. one talks about what the plans are for accenting the impact fees, updates on various capital projects that are coming from the area plan. there is also a report that was developed by the controller. it is an accounting of funds collected, expended over the
6:19 pm
past year. on the back of the report, a small note on the annual inflation of the development impact fees. if you have any questions, please let me know. the planning department has a committee that focuses on thinking about how to move the infrastructure project forward. i want to talk about the rules and responsibilities of that committee. after that, what we will get into the different areas. as you can see on this map, there are quite a few planning projects that have been adopted. it focuses on the ones in green. we recently adopted rezoning,
6:20 pm
which encourages and supports new residential and commercial development. just those four plan areas could accommodate over 18,000 new housing units and 10,000 new jobs over the next 20 years. our work is about making sure in the and the structure is built to support those new residents and employees. >> can you explain why you focus on those key areas and not candlestick, mission bay? >> we do focus on areas that have planning department initiated plans. some of the ones he listed are redevelopment areas and they have tax increment financing. that is a different funding mechanism, and that is up for discussion. you probably know more about the plans for that than i do. we focus on pieces are around development impact fees.
6:21 pm
one western it is adopted, it will be folded into ipic's work. >> thank you. >> we resound all these areas, they have development impact fees to support the infrastructure. the development impact fees cover 30% of the total an infrastructure. supervisor cohen: in conjunction to what supervisor mar was asking, have there been conversations are around the financing for the redevelopment authority? district 10 with the exclusion of the executive park, has a large area that you have designated as planned areas.
6:22 pm
what are other groups? >> the other groups refers to -- we want to be exclusive, wanted to -- i am not the most up-to-date in terms of the status of the changes of the redevelopment and how we will move forward with that. i should mention that one area that we will be coming back to you with next year is a development impact fee in that area. we will be taking a look at that. next year, we intend to come back with that included in our work. ok, great. these are the areas that ipic is focusing on. these are the key tasks that came out of article 36 --
6:23 pm
chapter 36. the ipic is focusing on three main areas. identifying projects. make sure that we are identifying all the projects and being smart about coordinating that work. also coordinating eastern neighborhoods to help prioritize the projects. we used impact the money to leverage other public money to secure grants. we work with project sponsors, private developers, to encourage them to build infrastructure projects that are consistent with the plan. the ipc's work on prioritizing community improvement is based on the draft criteria we have before you. coordination was ongoing and is the most important. the impact fees cover only 30%
6:24 pm
of the plan's total need. as much as we can improve and enhance ongoing projects. for example, there is some impact feet projects that will follow, building on a large project. the group has been very successful in thinking strategically about opportunities like that. just to give you a rough sense of how much money we're talking about of the next five years, this is the total for the four areas. the ipic is coordinating with the city's overall two-year budgeting process. we are planning projects further out, up until the next five years. you might know just looking at these, there are rather small numbers in the next two years. the number sort of jump up as far as projections.
6:25 pm
there are a lot of projects that we know about. we might be under construction in the next year or two, we are hoping. they will pay their fees that occupancy. -- at occupancy. >> $70 million over five years for these key project areas? how has the fee deferral program impacted these projects? >> some projects, when we know they are ready to be entitled, we have some information about when they will collect fees. these projections assume all project sponsors the for all their fees until occupancy. we might see some of those projects move forward, we will not to the revenue until the end of their construction. on average, we estimate that to
6:26 pm
be two years. it depends on the scale of the project. we is a rule of thumb when we are doing our projections. these projections are based on projects that are in the department's pipeline. their projects that we are no our current planning staff has reviewed. -- we know our current planning staff has reviewed. they are just waiting for financing and a building permit approval. we budget for the first two years. the funds as we talk about in the first two years, 5.8 and 6.3, those funds are going to be in each agency's budget when they come before you during budget season. the other pieces will remain as a capital planning practice until next year. for each area, i want to spend a little bit of time talking about what projects were selected. in the market octavia plant
6:27 pm
area there is a good transit project. some pedestrian improvements, and also some money to coordinate with the ongoing projects. >> which pedestrian improvements? >> we chose a strategy which was to identify a few key priorities, including 16th and market. to spend a little bit of money in the next year to design and further project implementation schedules. it is a total of $500,000 to be distributed among a few intersections. mta and planning will work with the community to figure out exactly how to -- >> which intersections are you referring to? >> i can get that list for you. the other intersections work
6:28 pm
market and 14 -- >> that is in kind. >> this is just about the crosswalk. >> as someone who talks to a lot of people in the neighborhood, 16th and market is light years ahead of every other intersection in the upper market in terms of the need for pedestrian improvement. >> we have heard that pretty clearly. it is a matter of figuring out how to strategically use the $500,000 to leverage the other funds. >> i know there are other factors. i'm a big believer in concentrating resources to get significant projects down instead of scattering them.
6:29 pm
for the folks who live in the city, when you can deliver a significant and tangible improvement, i think it increases the credibility of the department's, that we are getting significant projects done. that is one of the beautiful dance about the market plan. cable -- a beautiful thing about the market plan. i will get off of my soap box. >> i will spend a little bit more time on some of those projects. there are too large open space projects. i will talk about one of those a little -- there are two large open space projects. rincon hill, most of the infrastructure projects are accomplished by in kind agreements. i will talkut
