market so i think that's a valuable thing >> it's right to bring this discussions here. >> okay. >> alice in wonderland was reminding me in the case of market and octavia there was an obligation i think what you're talking about what's the public discussion around those. >> right and you know i'd like to see a look at some of the areas in projects that actually, we think are good and well-designed in our neighborhood serving who's living in them as opposed to so getting specified about what is happening or in the parks that are built and which ones have worked c park is a small park but a greatest utilized park you take this parks on the waterfront they're not then they

kind of park in front of the term to me it's a big walk it's in a dense well-used neighborhood but i don't know if it's getting the use like the hayes decks that's small has a punch it will be good to say we've built 3 thousand units or 4 thousand unit but what works well, which projects are good i also encourage you i think you're doing this but think beyond the planning where the land use agency box which you definitely point out to here i would go beyond things like affordable housing is not going to be solved by building more affordable housing it is reich

ellis act and i think some of the ideas we'll have a bigger impact i get involved and maybe too much shorthand. >> i agree we're going are we're not going to build our way out of this but issues ho do we build the capacity to maintain the existing stock for affordable use. >> there's parks in the utilized we build sometimes the developers people want open space but put it in places it might not be the right open space but changing the use and

making that nor active or putting fields existing open space is the answer you get the interagency stuck with different agencies like the rec and park fixed parks you're the ones thinking those big ideas the city's wealthy and the city's has untapped resources we can go 0 after those rather than building new. >> your touch on something there's 4 white guys and one white guys gooir guy i think parrot of our role is to convene that multi agency conversation look at the long term plan with more talking about the issues

and figuring out better solutions that's something we can really arresting sincerity a bigger role i think we're the central party to do that kind of conversations. >> i think the waterfront issue presidio is involved i don't know about the jurisdiction of the planning department but i mean, you should be weighing in kind of taking - >> the shorthand about partnership all the initiative are complete with the need for partnerships that's in the spirit of our discussion as far on the waterfront rather work with the school district this is a foundation how to do that. >> i mean one the advantages that the department has in some ways we're not a capital department and so we can kind of

take a more objective view in how we operate that's the big advantage for several years we bring together department heads from all over the city they've been based on capital but the forum to talk about the vice presidents issues i mean, i think that's fair to say we're a as a city we're breaking and entering through the silos there's an issue in every city i've been in i think we're doing a good job as anyone certainly the managers have developed relationship with their counterparts is that is a huge part of the issue establish relationships with the counterparts counterparts. >> commissioner moore. >> i toil would like to suggest

that this presentation is made again and share you with myonics why there are not so many people today, the title of this particular presentation is very mosaic active and i actually until i opened any packet i thought what was there all about is that a numerical program work i couldn't of i was not so excited about this is exciting perhaps some place can see a bye line by which this gets floated it is an active vicinities presentation where portions were created that's a foundation to invite the public to operator

that's just an idea which i want to float this get started off with confinement and commissioner richards 3 things first this is not looking at the city water planning some of the things we wanted to have way back years ago are a not exactly what we want now so from octavia caring how many hours are being built not what kinds of are they affordable those are the things to measure i think the eastern neighborhoods discussions are an action item number 2 i'll look forward to have those folks give a presentation and in the report that the lady gave us lecturer i

spent sent did electronic copy around to my neighborhood it's things that are not apparent to them one of the disconnects i had i was sitting in the myths and it was the 16th coalition that was the name of the group i said to one of the persons that was doing arrant really you should go to the cac and he had a dumbfounded look and had said i am on the cac. >> i said why are you looking at me then. >> i'm not talking about one hundred old ladies homes just in my lifetime in the 35 years my neighbors built a parking garage, however, they destroyed

downtown so another one is the on open spaces people are supposed to conjugating gate another one near and dear to my heart is every time i drive to throw the western edition i almost shed a tear what used to be under how much density used to be under i look at the low riding buildings and it is no longer the case i think one the items i think i completely agree with commissioner moore i get tweets are from sf planning i don't know about the sexy talk about but ask the lady to make sure that the high heeldz need

to be 35e7b9d to. >> i completely agree with san francisco ethics commission about the tragedy of the western edition and a it is very sad they structural go they do the best they can and i see that the predecessor of the group is closing i hope the district continues to improve but sometimes you do something and things are worse so we want to make sure error to the side of caution one thing i want to talk about certain areas like microbe and transbay are approved areas once the approvals are there like a project is conforming it doesn't come before use it would be nice to get presentations on the points for the benefit of

the public i get asked about them in fact my first awareness of 299 part of it has an aide was walking by it under a constricts and will be topping off seen it is an interesting project a lot of it is market rate and part of it is affordable housing all built on the same site those are the sort of things we hear about we did get something no our packet today will the microbe that's a design change it would be approved mosaic dely but it would be good to get things like that with a short presentation so we can commitment and express our whether we agree with the

changes or concerns e.r. whatever it will can do or add to our calendar it is important to the promises and certain wonts in transbay because of their size will obviously come before us for approvals so i i think it's growing so quickly the public wants to know what's actually happening. >> okay mr. kelly thank you i think by the comments we're scratching the surface of that i think the challenge will be to not necessarily focus on the challenges but actually let this go out and explorer and kwok what san francisco might build in the future so good luck and look forward to hearing back from you soon. >> commissioners that places you on item 13 sea level rise

presentation. >> does the commission want a test. >> good afternoon and welcome to the for january 15, 2015 commissioners we left off under your regular calendar for the san francisco capital sea level rise presentation. >> good afternoon commissioner fong and commissioners chris i'm

here are the environmental planning and colleagues going to give a a recent adapted guidance document for the sea level will adaptation into the plan for the city. >> so essentially our presentation is going to give a little bit of background and the purpose of the document the members of the committee that created this document then tanya is going to do go over the document in a little bit of detail for the planning process and the implementation and going to show you some sea level rise somewhere maps. >> so the guidance document was prepared at the direction of the mayor out of the larger sf adapt

program and the objective to really incorporate sea level rise into the city's capital planning process as well as to improve the consistentcy across the departments how we think about and respond to sea level rise the committee was formed to include all the members of the capital planning committee and the agencies so puc and dpw and mta port and airport as well as the planning department and the capital department were on that committee and one of the initial tasks we did inform the miss guidance we look forward to other examples at the federal, state and local levels to see how they're looking accident sea level

adaptation and we're looking at the support from a couple of the coastal support to develop a detailed document that is adapted and in the process of being implemented as a result if you're into this guidance is if so a reminded for all the capitalized departments for the capital plans so, now i'm going to hand this off to tanya and she's going to describe the details of how this document works. >> president fong and members of the commission i'm tanya with the planning department and the environmental planning dwooigs division overwhelming i'm going to go over the main components first i'll talk about the science of the guidelines. >> the guidance draws on the

best funds this is the research titled sea level for the california and oregon that was released in 2012, the energy report provides this projection for the sea level as well as the ranges that is the high and low conditions extreme conditions so as you can see the most likely projects are 203011 inches asia thirty inches by 90s 20 - those are predicting those types of values far into the future so using this report we're being consistent with other agencies including the coastal and the ac

d.c. and in other words this is a wieldly accepted value a lot of the factors including the models we're not climate scientists this is what we should be using we're we're talking about planning we're phone call focusing on the frontalss rather than the ranges so this slide illustrates some of the factors for sea level rise and the flooding which is one way or another what we're talking about the companies are a culmination of the tied levels and the storm search that leads to flooding and the sea level rise this will help to illustrate it its important to talk about the flooding it is temporary and infrequent but nevertheless has the importantly to cause serious damage i would like to point out

this guidance focuses on the hazards and how sea level rise contributed to the flooding so the first recommend step in the guidance to select the most appropriate sea level rise scenario some factors are the project anticipated lifespan and whether or not it is located in a future flood zone the agency will use late map had he how much that assets will be the most current maps were prepared in december of last year kroiflt civil will show you that later bans the first step then move on

the vulnerable and asks the first step of the process is the exposure here the agency determines whether or not the location is in the flood zone and proposed to temporary or permanent flooding it is the sensitivity analysis that studies the degree of the sea level rides sometimes they're more sensitive than others to flooding the most important t the parks that is the fire station is a sensitive project so based on on the omnioutcome the agency will assess the adoptive capacity of whether or not it just have to sea level rise in the future for example

a ground level residential use in a flood zone there's not much you can do to respond to future flooding whoa whereas a high-level rise is a barrier is needed in the future based on the observing outcome of the vulnerability saechld it compares the possibility of the consequences since the probability o probability is difficult to have an impact is hard to calculate it is on calculating the consequence that considers the magnitude of a scenario some questions that could be useful what is the level of damage to the assets can it it be repair or have to

be replaced would there be a disruption in the service and lead to public safety and safety concerns who would be the cost to repair the costs and to the economy for example a temporary comploesh of embarcadero stations would be a high subsequence u consequence because people rely on it another example of a roadway would be different based on previous steps in the process the agency will go on to will adapt the adaptation strategies for the process and prioritize these projects with the idea of resiliency some of the items the sea level rise be considered and it be relied over time and the

triggers for implementation sea level rides is a fairly slow motorcycling problem we have time and we don't know everything about the scientists but hope to learn more the city will continue toy fine plans for the sea level i'd say rise and implementing this approach guidance includes a check list it will assist the departments in implementing this approach currently each department will fill out a accomplice for projects over $5 million identified for funding and in the area defined as a the vulnerability zone this is combapgd in 21 hundred by possible high-end sea level rise plus one hundred year flood as

mapped by the committee so those collect listed are due to committee i'm going to turn it over to chris to go over some of the flood maps. >> okay. so i want to review a few of the sea level rise scenarios and flood maps wear working with those maps were prepared by the sfpuc in two studies the shoreline east side and west side the whole square feet of scenarios so i'm going to focus on a few not click through them the studies are available this first one i'll talk about be a little bit longer than than the rest is depicting the mean high water

plus 12 inches that transmits to the daily high tide to the 2012 research council report and the green areas you see there are denoted as dissected areas those are areas that the grade will be below this predicted high-level they're not connected to the bay lower than the sea level but flooded this map and at maps i'm going to show you are bans 2010 topographic it was high so it is useful for this purpose but doesn't account for changes in topographic on the shoreline

including those approved by the plans so for example those maps will be more transparent and more severe insures don't show the measures that are proved and implemented for the mission bay or the treasure island that incorporated the adaptation as part of their processes so those maps in other words you represent a naivete baseline with a do nothing assumption pr so this map represents the expected 2050 condition during a coastal storm sunday morning that transcriptionists to the storm surge is coastal flooding that's been modeled and 3re7kd

to occur you know on average once every one hundred years or so ooifl this is a one percent chance in my given year that condition can be experienced the last flood in san francisco give you prospective wasn't was in 19983 they occur from a few hours to days it should be understood it is an infrequent and prefixing condition but the one hundred year flood is the zone we use 90 in mr. larkin this is our future flood zone so this map is representing 36 inches of sea level rise it's a daily tied and 311 is what they

project for 26 one hundred again under the no do nothing this is the ear that is inundated on a daily more or less daily basis during high tide now this map is that same period 21 hundred plus the stormed sunday morning and do nothing hopefully, we'll do something i hope this map illustrates the com pell reason the city has adapted this doing nothing is not acceptable but this map is useful for the adaptation process to put those maps in a little bit of boarder prospective i wanted to end with the citywide viewing and this is ant of apples and oranges comparison this is our existing

flood plan map prepared in 2008 this is our one hundred year coastal scenario and our one hundred year flood plan it was prepared with a different to that graveng map so their models will not coordinated but it give us a picture of what we're looking at in the future is increased flooding a larger flood zone that will flood the areas that are currently flooded and coastal is a lot more so here's the whole looting lot more this is is harder to see i can flip back and forth this is again, the 21 hundred flood zone go back whoops and with that i'd like to

conclude it is available on the website we have a few extra copies and we're ready to answer any questions you have. >> opening it up for public comment and i'm sure there's questions any public comment? okay >> sue hester i didn't bring the maps about this sea level rise and based on on state and federal i've given them out it's important to look at it this
