it not in the plan s are security cameras and traffic control officers and on street trash contra corals and motorcycle parking when it's time to do the alley progress it is a community tool kit we want more than beautification thank you. >> good afternoon commissioner tom with the living city i want to say this is an expiring legislation e prosecution this is livingable city we've stared the space for the alleys is terrific reclaiming open space where 25 percent of our students is city streets to reclaiming

that and alleyways are certainly a need we'll loaf love to see the hayes valley alleys going forward and one of the challenges every one is a project you have to go through ages 33 and they reinvent 0 it can be re1ri7bd so on and so forth so if you blt build it in this way the review is important so moving forward with the standards is great and the commitment to doing this in the neighborhood our office is 0 on potrero street this is what it looks like we've got a robust alleyways program that came out of the selma development planning and some the western selma planning so some of the planning dpw, transportation authority were involved in planning the alleyways other than our part of selma, however,

there's a robust program in chinatown as well to have the alleys built outburst we've got great example of the neighborhood programs there are a lot of folks i've met with to the southeast chiropractor of selma around the caltrain station around the south part a lot of alleyways there are a lot of things happening in the neighborhood they want to reclaim some of the open space so more of the plan is a great idea and creating an implementation you know enter departmental an implementation mechanism to make sure those plans move into are realty would be good and as alice said the community engagement early on you know having single points of compact and the community developed alleyways planning process is reality important you other thing you might look at

the development requirement like the departments and others we said you have to provide open spaces and rather than the plaza maybe that's turning the alleyway can you look at the existing code and say how can we turn those into alleyway improvements for benefits for the development projects happening in the neighborhood we've got the energy to support all the follow-up steps to make those things happen. >> is there any additional public comment public comment is closed. >> commissioner richards. >> i have a couple of questions, mr. winning slow what's the two alleys that made the final cut. >> the 2 hundred block of ivy and 2 hundred block of lilly. >> so hayes valley.

>> is to the question is i'll give you - both of those were commercial and samuel sponsored so the com try on the cac was at that time, what are you doing for the small business owners it is such a heavy lift so we tried to come up with the second prototype and the light version. >> in a way just as effective. >> thank you. i guess i have a question for the other gentleman. >> he's not involved in this (laughter). >> we have another area plan coming reporting; right? so to what step up to the plate is this parlayed into selma. >> it's kind of one of those after plans from the octavia get the plans that understand the big picturesque he can and all

the streetscape stuff we cleared in the eir but all the various streets are much more difficult and those are the large streets with the substantial changes and the community conversation. >> so it's a priority perfect so one of the last questions for alice as todco if you could just briefly can you tell me about the similarities too your community-based alleyways and little process we've heard mr. wynn's low talk about. >> okay. i think that the living alleys tool kit is a good document and there's a long process to fourth the tool kit but it is a little bit disconcerting about the prototype that can be applied to

any street without looking at the context of the block and that's where our process is different eater maybe i missed that in the document it seems like the analysis stage to get to the alley was short in a living alley only a month and it takes longer than than that to figure out who's on the block and the traffic and different needs are so i say one the keys is the length of time and also, we focused a lot on pedestrian safety and security in selma if you don't have eyeing on the street and someone other people - survivalist is a big concern like security cameras there are people drive through selma likes it's a freeway so having the

officers and they're not pretty they're beautiful but we need them to keep those areas safe for people walking through them. >> thank you. >> commissioner moore. >> this is a remarkable product i like this or like the challenge that we start development alley qualifications criteria and collecting check lists for all alleys in the city if we can't could it right now we'll each year a systematic way in those areas in the densification those happening have been happening we've not been able to hold the line for future alleyways improvement for example on pine street between

oak and van ness i strongly raised the issue the building needs to respond to a positive use on the ground floor a cross section of the van ness corridor plan needs to provide light into the additionally this is the tree efforts and those are fully vested in the plans but looking at and preventing the worse i'll change the director about looking very closely they qualifications list and looking where new buildings have large garage entrances because garage entrances can are destroy alleys altogether in san francisco wroef not invented any local access only provisions for people going through the alleys

like fulsome street it's a xanax context set of rules for transportation and as building related issues one i've mentioned i strongly urge to particularly look at east west alleys those are the ones that have the most access to light in order to use a alley the environment as the the benefit of light sunlight is extremely important. >> but otherwise it's a great piece i just beg you urge you to take this and very quickly start projecting it into the future. >> thank you. >> commissioner antonini. >> question for mr. wynn's low did your analysis include or your report include an analysis of the different aeltz in market

octavia as to the amount of automobile traffic those alleys experience other than anecdotal we've asked that question of the partner at mta they didn't have except for a few that were study in the market octavia office. >> the reason i bring that up i see you do different things the shared streets and the living zone the two types you were having and the one the latter one you closed it to autopsy traffic except for the graphic needed for residential that sound like a good idea i don't know if you have to have a street vacation or how that happens. >> we're not exactly sure afternoon with the partnerships the exact term with a temporary closer a job street encroachment

we're still scratching our heads. >> i encourage that study to occur because there are certain alleys where people use them quite a bit for everyday traffic and many are rail used the ones noted essential to keep up we could close those except for residential my belief the amount of traffic generated by the traffic it is low only over the course of a day but if it's an alley as a shortcut to someone else that is also a lot more dangerous people are using that for a cut through the most more of them you can close to non-residential use

you'll quiet the alleys and some are used more heavily you'll certainly discourage this by raised sidewalks or other things because usually where there's a cut through another way to do it if you're spend enough time driving another half a block people will cut through there because they don't want to go another half block but more pedestrians and more traffic. >> i want to confirm our an idol suggestions everything we've studied two types of trapping traffic that comes and goes through the alley and others for the traffic signal they fly through there it would be a solution to try to control those various parts of the tool kits but i think there other

traffic tools. >> even you could close the middle of it if there's no residential parking. >> probably work well and the what people who actually live there would be probably very encouraging of it is their street and want it to be calm and wouldn't mind coming out a certain side thank you very much i have a couple of other comments i think that todco raised some things to include the balance ladder and the light and security cameras and security officer to hope discourage drivers are not careful and anti social activities that can occur in alleys that provide a nice space for people with its use this is

a really good idea and the gentleman had a good idea to have a city policy dissatisfied pub and privately owned public spaces they could do the same thing by retrofitting an alley thank you very much. >> commissioner johnson. >> thank you very much just reilly real quick thank you for the report a good job and just a couple of things those comments are in light of the fact it sound like an excellent idea to make it light but the project is sort of an experience we're talking about stared alleys whether or not there's closed off vehicular traffic through needs to be thought butt

put into different models to segregated uses and the work what we're doing with embarcadero what started off as a long park with shared uses from walking to cycling to everything in between is now is cumbersome we're trying to do the hard work and there are certain alleys in san francisco particularly in our central selma and alleys where the collision of uses maybe problematic so anything we can, think about how to make sure that the flow of uses space whether or not cars are in the mix is thought-out properly and not based on one ascertainment of the alley i appreciate the gentleman's comments i'll say that i think

there are something to having to keeping the policy we have where the things have to be created within a half mile or quarter of a mile of the actual building because there's long alleys in selma you know it is going to be hard to have one alley per project if this makes sense anytime have a part of a community benefit hard to have one project sponsor if you want to think about that what are the ways to design full alleys and have if you want to have that be a community benefit some sort of responsibility that a larger community project done versus saying that one partnering has to complete one complete project i think the alleys are two too big of a pole and then the

ottawa other thing last sort of a comment i appreciate many work as we think head of pier 70 it will be coming to us in the coming years we that of a complete build out of mission bay and selma and places starting to come together new street networks my hope we're redoing the high street networks in the community if we have a smart policy for alleys and it makes it easier to implement and want to complete the alleys but 0 dale appreciate the thought going into it when you think of an alley right now it becomes hard to think you want to create a new one why a new problem that is a great way no. you, start with a position that alleys are good and good street

infrastructure and our circulation neblt let's see how we can bidding build under the ground up. >> commissioner wu. >> thank you to the staff for the report essentially calling out the implementation timeline is one of the biggest champions of getting alleys done so a way to expedite or have better coordination to make sure we're not doing design reiteration i want to pigged on the comments of todco there's a paper out in berkley last year called the something, something not green enough the goal is not making the most beautiful and wonderful design what having a people based assessment of what the people in the alleyways means maybe not the most beautiful alleyways but salesladies it is

public safety improvements it is meeting the needs of people living there i made this comment similarly there's a possibility those kinds of things make it more attractive for other people to come into the neighborhood and noting not serving the needs of the resident and we get into the questions of the implementation or decided placement not a one-on-one coordination wanting to make sure we're investing in the needs of community. >> commissioner hillis. >> a question on funding you mentioned there's funding available is that only from octavia or is - >> will i'm not sure of the eastern neighborhoods i'm not sure if this year's for alleys

but market octavia is - >> i have to say they have to be spent. >> yes. in fact in the 345ushg9 octavia. >> there was a project on ralph on fulsome and ralph people were complaining about objecting to the development because of traffic though we thought the traffic was you know they could have been benefiting they were screaming for improvement on their alley but what's the i guess that's got to be 4r5089d within the western neighborhood plan i agree those can be used everything it is kind of a tool kit to. >> let's get it right in the market octavia. >> we've seen it work but that we funded for . >> you know this is one the

this tool kit a specifically directed towards community driven i want to address the todco comment it is supposed to enable that kind of level of you know what are our specific needs in this alley and how do we design around them their appropriate, however, the information is cable e applicable to other alleys through developments like parcelp. p and octavia the developers volunteered to through certain directions of ours to implemented closing an alley on hickory this verbatim there are driven projects this information is good for everything but information in the tool kits it specifically help people to use this. >> you mentioned getting the

city to take probability for the improvement how does it work now. >> how does it work now i wish i had my diagram so for major streets like encroachment the design costs the fund costs of improvement and the maintenance costs which includes liability insurance for the trees and pavement are incumbent upon the entity so i have a model for example that demonstrates that overall costs 20-year cycle e community college is $20,000 the constriction increment is for 250 to $400,000 the design is $175,000 you'll have that the first in construction as well as design is incumbent upon those

community groups so we have this fund $2 million to before sgrb to offset that construction costs there are day to day year in and out spending that money custom testifying it is a large cost as well as construction costs we're trying to work with that assumption is that a fair distribution of costs there's possibly city costs we have to demonstrate and prove to the city so maybe the city could be more tact some more of sharing. >> well, i agree. >> that's another decision hopefully on tuesday. >> this is key to expand this beyond an example of a developer how do they take on the future. >> it is also 90 know first, you have to do the maintenance

at the end before you like promise so they and others within the ride awe waking period we've got to do the maintenance so it is still that case the city didn't accept the maintenance responsibility. >> if i could add this is actually an issue that has come up in the last several months all those kinds of projects with the special street design have projects where the city is very cautious about accepting the maintenance roenlts because it is not the standard approach to how the utility design it is something we've been talking about with the planning commission and other commissions to get a homicide as david said number one getting the city to accept the don't you understand design and if we can show the cost or secondly the city

process this is starting to effect a lot of the work we're doing and concerned that we don't want to stop doing the streets and the alleyways and little other programs because of our ability to take care of those. >> commissioner richards so one quick question lyndon is the only won up and running. >> my understanding. >> who took responsibility for the maintenance. >> and one other person through the building of 215. >> what happens if you go away. >> that's the discussion daily with dpw and i come from a community groups and things go away and 5 years later things happen. >> i do go away i mean our ideal model we had was everybody

included the greater the shared burden the greater the longevity and everybody taking mature responsibility if that didn't happen because of the sea factor and the fools that rushed in were - it's over and over gastric it is not bad wait a minute, i contribute not signed on the doted line the goal is one of the tools we it is in the tool kit a means for establishing the cvc is the organized shared responsibility for the ongoing maintenance. >> cool thank you. >> thank you. >> commissioners seeing that nothing further item 9 the update of the strategy an informational presentation.

>> good afternoon, commissioners i'm with the planning staff this session is an just want to the economic strategy it is from the office of economic workforce development and i'll just i'm going to turn it over to the speakers we have todd who the the director of the office of economic workforce development, laurel who is the development director of he oewd and ted econo the city's chief economic finding. >> thank you todd director of the office of economic workforce development i wanted to start before we get going on the content to do a quick overview and road map for the day i'm going to open with a little bit of summary how we got to where we are and the economic stream go is all about and hand it over to my colleague to talk about the actions against the

recommendations of the economic strategy and ted egging gone will follow through and the remaining barriers that were identified i'll be back up to talk about the next steps and where we are going to go from here so actually before that back in 2004 the voters approved proposition i is created a city charter completed in 2007 it provided the city to provide the update and? a culmination of an update this is in draft form we want to get our feelings this is relevant to the work you do everyday at the planning commission i want to acknowledge the other departments obviously the office of economic workforce development and oewd dennis

phillips is here and the friends from the planning department and other departments workplace illicit dive into a couple of the finding of the economic stream this slide as you recall was a ted egging goes on summation of how the economic was structured a couple of key points a guiding principle first the city's commissioner riley is driven by it's relationship to experimental market the 49 square miles of san francisco one of the sectors that are exporting the goods and services and knowledge and information out to external market that brings income into the city 3 professional services

the creative industries and the other decides is our tourism and sub sectors within that certainly is not an achieve list but just as important but keenly interrelated are the other industries from construction and real estate to our pdr and the industrial distribution and transportation sectors as well as our social services health care that ensure our people infrastructure are strong to drive our executor industries that's a key explanation of the 2007 report came in together on another key finding i think was the offering rh2 goals about economic development strategy and
