Is this the Planning Department that we the citizens of San Francisco are paying for . Were playing for a Planning Department that is not examining the cost of transportation and the dangers of transportation increasing the gridlock. You are responsible for this. Frankly, again, as i raised earlier, the mayor and the developers are running San Francisco and they dont give a damn as long as they can make profit by building more construction. This is insane. Its outrageous. The fact you have nothing to say about it, you dont get to the specifics tells me you really dont care either about what is going on in San Francisco. The gridlock is a responsibility of the Planning Department. You are improving more and more construction, Mass Construction without agreeing there should be transportation, proper transportation. Thats political incompetence and malfeasance in my view. Where is the Planning Commission . Where is the director of planning in San Francisco about the gridlock . What is your solution in 2050 . Can we get by next year with all this new construction . All this new construction in San Francisco is going to add massively to a transportation gridlock but its not on your radar. Again, where is the Planning Commissioner is the executive director of planning . Whats their plan for all the new construction. Is it a massive transit, a Public Transit being planned in San Francisco to address this new correction . Hell know. No. Because you are run by the developers. You are run by the developers. The developers dont want to have a transit tax for more mass transportation. Theyre interested in building their projects and making profit from that for the next project. Thats what theyre about. You are responsible for that. It raises the question to remove the director of planning and to put someone in charge who is going to be responsible to really deal with the gridlock in San Francisco and be accountable for all its massive construction without any planning for mass transit. Next speaker, please. Laura foot. I really appreciate the thoroughness of this report. I wasnt going to speak because this is the kind of stuff we should just get through and its great to have these kinds of educational materials to inform us as we make larger decisions. I kind of want to speak to the audience and remind everyone here that being a Planning Commissioner sucks they get yelled a lot all day, sometimes by people like me. Please treat the commissioners with a little bit more respect. Its really hard to get people to decide to spend hours of their life just having people come up over and over and over again and blame them for all of San Franciscos problems. A great place to take some of that frustration might be the board of supervisors, the people are elected and they can change a lot more of the laws. The commissioners are supposed to take the law as it is and interpret it and make a little bit of a judgment call. They cannot tax all the billionaires. Which cannot ask the commissioners to solve literally all of our problems. We can talk about how we need to solve our problems but i think that we should really troy to think about what is this commission for and and inform our decisionmaking. I want a motion for you guys to be i dont know if we have a coast or something to make you guys feel better. Thank you. Thank you. Any other Public Comment on this item . Michael adams. Im going to speak on the next item if we ever get to it. Im former city planner. Ive had a lot of experience being yelled at, curses, rewarded and thanked so it comes with the territory. One of the things that struck me in this last presentation is there a connection between these prior items that have to do with building more buildings sense tee increases and a trigger that would enable the Planning Commission to understand with some code that says for every thousand square feet of new building it will create x amount of traffic impact. Its fairly simple algebra that could be put into the code and the formal questions that come with every presentation on every bit of housing tense tee improvement and it will effect transit. We cant hope for muni to improve very soon and we have seen on one of the rides that theres going to be about the same amount of density in 2050, the amount of traffic sense tee and all the associated hazards as there is so as you add those things that influence traffic you can create a formula that helps people understand the pain and is everything that that is going to cause and put some value on whether thats worth it. In terms of that particular building and that particular structure. I have in my pocket a parking ticket ill pay when i leave here and i dont hear anybody talking about eliminating that. Can you imagine someone suggesting public land for housing so that we take that civic center, that beautiful grassy area over there and build a housing on it. What is the limit going to be . Panhandle of Golden Gate Park would make a nice site for housing. Lets really think about what were doing as we approach this public land for housing issue and ill be back to speak to that as it relates to city college. Thank you. Any other Public Comment on this item . That Public Comment is now closed. Commissioner richards. So, thank you very much for this. I remember being on the connect sf task force for a while and it was a lot to be honest with you with Everything Else going on. Theres a lot of information her and im a little bit tired. As i look through here, some things arent adding up for me. What im talking about really is were looking towards 2050 and we have increasing kind of density mandates from the state that are encroaching on us but i dont see anything about that in here. Is theyre going to pass and i look a lot the growth in San Francisco and i see the western part of the city is like the least amount of jobs and residents in that light green color. We should start modeling our future around where it will go and theres going to be we need to do a plan, a proposed plan or whatever where were talking about something that we really need to take into consideration. The other thing is, it looks like the growth and im doing these numbers in my head. The growth seems to be much later than what im seeing the impact here is so i looked at the page and this is all off the cuff. Page its the mode 2015 and 2050. Sorry. Hold on. Im sorry. Weve got the four squares on the top. So looking at this page, the question i have is that the number of trips we have 1. 6 million and 200,000 and zero the bottom and are these trips per year . This is daily trips. Our model is for typical average weekday. So, what you are saying here on this page 16 is number of trips. People who drive alone today is roughly 1. 1 million trips. Yes. Thats right. Physical trips. These are trips to, from and within. 1 million trips in a car per day, ok. Thats astounding number. These are trips. Even rips that were within the city but also trips that start outside of the city so any trip that involves being in the city. This is car traffic period. Any trip that touches San Francisco whether its someone commuting in or someone commuting out. Cor commuting within. We have tncs right now or 2015 just above 200,000 but i see in 20 other i 2050 it grows. Is that kind of in line with the projections that were seeing these companies are reporting . If you read the uber per specific tus on the shares, share talking numbers that are much bigger than this globally and also talking about really putting Public Transportation out of business. The large increase in tnc trips is based on existing data that we the Transportation Authority were able to scrape from uber and lift and it was researched we did with North Eastern university and with that data we know how many trips happen in 2016 and used those assumptions as to calibrate our model and that is how we project the decisions into the future so its not based on numbers given to us by Business Plans and it is based on the trips weve observed through our Data Collection and research and inputting those into the model. I would see the population is going to increase by roughly 50 from 900,000 to 1. 4 million . The city . Yes. That is slide number nine. So population population will increase about 30 . And then Adoption Rate by those with the increase in the population 1. 245 million will adopt uber and lyft. Theyll double 97 up . Correct. These are really interesting numbers and i think overtime, really calibrating whether that is true or not and if we see for some reason growth in uber and lyft going up, are these real time year over year we dont have this fixed in our mind but next year for some reason if they run this massive discount its a it dollar a trip and everyone starts taking them, will we adjust the way we look at this . We adjust our model based on existing data so if we get new data we put those into the model to say this is what we know about our baseline year and those assumptions get adjusted. If the tax passes in november on per trip tax you will get a lot of good data so thats good so its a really good thing to make sure as data comes our you are re adjusting these things real time because we can end up far off the mark if we dont. The other thing is, we have a current deficit of money. We had this given to us when we had the sb50 discussion informational here. It was numbers pulled from the m. T. A. , from the regional things in muni and he said that the unfunded portion of muni between now and 2040 i believe it was, which was reported by muni or m. T. A. Was something in the neighborhood of like 22 billion. I know that covered the nine county bay area too. It did San Francisco and the bay area. We have this deficit right now on maintenance, buying new buses, servicing the people we have here and were not up to snuff yet and according to the numbers provided by the m. T. A. Were adding additional capacity on top of that. I guess the question i have is, thats not discussed here only in terms of overcrowding and commute times going up so the discussion on funding levels and what the new development will do is a really good portion of what this is going to look like because we have to make hard choices in the future with the money that we have. Sure, the results we shared with you today are based on if we just dont do anything and if we just assume that we do all the projects we have planned and we did no further planning but of course we want to identify more solutions and we want to identify Major Projects that would go into the plan bay area 2050 to fund those projects and part of the funding goes towards maintenance of roads and state of good repair for transit and things like that. In the donothing version, it assumes that deficit and were not going to get additional money to plug those were just doing what we do. Right. This is kind of the worstcase scenario assuming that we dont have anything beyond the transportation projects we know of today. And so the next time you see this, we will look at ideas of how to improve these numbers. Which is the whole point and it can also include land use changes its great because you come up with recommendations on what we can do to make it better being that this is the worse case. Other questions are, ridership levels, what are you forecasting in terms of ridership levels because bart is down by 5 and muni is down by a certain percent and people are switching different modes. Is that being updated . Where are we going with all of that . With ridership levels. It doesnt increase at the same rate the population is increases. So, the way that our model works is that theres a synthetic population with the number of people and they have a home destination and work destination and destinations for others trips like shopping and in the model they have the choice of cost of time and actual hard costs of those Transportation Options so those are built into assumptions into the algorithm of the model thats why you see when you look at the increase in t. N. C. S, a lot of that food shift is coming from transit even though transit increasing in absolute numbers and its decreasing proportionally because we know the cost of tncs is cheap competitive with transit and were seeing that loss. Another question, on page 16, theres a reverse trip thing where i know my fedex driver by name and i know my ups driver by name because he is on my street everyday. Does this take into consideration people not going out to get something but having a lot of stuff come to them. Delivery services, eating meals. Is that included in here too . There are freight trips that are at a high level and were doing research so in the baseline its a high level number for a total number of freight trips happening in San Francisco and then we are going to do more research about that later. It has a big impact. I think the two big things that are the big unknowns could be a state rezoning and we dont know what its going to look at and the other one is, i was reading the planning magazine that came to me and talked about the future of the way people get around in terms of Autonomous Vehicles and i have no idea where that is all going to go but if the book that was written that says Autonomous Vehicles will create such a good life and all this other stuff. It would be something as time goes on and we see what they actually can and cant do to try to consider this and consider some of this stuff in the future. We have a whole body of work as part of connect sf. What were calling the drivers of change and Technological Advancements including Autonomous Vehicles is something were monitoring or continuing to research. It wasnt included in our results today because the avs were unsure of the Adoption Rate and how many avs will be on the roads and when that will happen so it wasnt included in our model today but its something that well monitor. I appreciate it. This is incredible stuff im going to go home and look at it more. Even since connect sf was started when i was on it, we had this thing called chariot and chariot came and went so we thought o. My god, chariot will put me out of business and they went out of business so its unknowns we need to factor real time and it was really good work, thank you. Thank you, commissioner. I will also point out that the company uber has not posted a profit in 10 years and their i. P. O. Came out and it was very under we wil weunder i thinky great data. I will say at the risk of being pegged for being angry, because our climate all the time, that you know, my over arching comments about the language on the presentation are similar in that i think that you guys are doing such great work and that often other agencies make political decisions that are not in line with what we know to be factual and what the data points out to and it behooves us to be stronger in our positions of what will happen and when we know that its going to happen. I think that we know very definitively that having singletrip vehicles through uber and lyft will effect our Carbon Emissions as a city in a much stronger way than if we invested tax money and to making a better public with how we are doing macro level, you know, thinking about how our city develops and how jobs housing linkage and that we could be stronger about these things. So i will also just give a little anecdote that you know, im not up here making lots of money from the developers. I work for a nonprofit that does Youth Development and two weeks ago it was the youth and the arts and they chose Public Transportation its the theme and it was a love story that emission 14 back of the bus. Because you know for youth Public Transportation is freedom from the neighborhood and also coming back to the home that you have that means culture and it means place and its just so important, right. And so your analysis, im looking, i would also want to see, you know, a more thorough breakdown of race, gender, social class and how the Different Things that get us around effect how the city is developing and how it effects different groups of people. Its not the same. Low income people tend to take Public Transportation more and if they have to live longer, it means less of a quality of life, less time with kids. Theres power in politics and this is not so neutral. That was just my point. Thank you. Commissioner moore. I would just like i would like to commend the department for the effort of putting this together. Particularly in light of the fact we need to remind ourselves about it. That uber and lyft are not controlled by the city and county of San Francisco but the control comes from the state of california. Theyre two things working at cross purpose and this city really was leading in transit first for many years that has been greatly diminished by losing its control of what types of cars and what quantity and the real effective are circulating on our right of ways. A few more points as i was sitting up here thinking. To commissioner moores point its a good point. They want to regulate scooters and change the things that we actually were trying to get to in terms of public policy. The other question, several other things, electric vehicle adoption or electric vehicle elimination like norway decided that theyre not going to have carbon combustible engineers after 2025 or 2030. China said 2040. Were just going to say no more electric vehicles or no more gassy mighting fume vehicles. The department of environment has policy and blue print. They have specific figures and what they hope the Adoption Rate to be by certain years. I dont know them off the top of my head. I can find out. Great. I got into an argument with someone a couple of days ago about urban is better than suburban and they said well, when you talk about actually building these projects they said, you are not considering the amount of Carbon Footprint that is concrete creates, you have to manufacture concrete to build these buildings and they ran some studies on certain projects and i can pull the data but i was completely thrown off guard. They said the carbon pay back on this certain project that they had to concrete versus the people that will live there that commuted before from the suburbs, the fay back was 20 other and the2050. I never consit building a building also creates a Carbon Footprint too. One other data point someone told me about just a few days ago was theres this Company Called hatch and hatch looks at car ownership rates and for the bay area, the car ownership rates are going up faster than the population is increasing. I dont know what that means. It might be telling me that because its take long to get around and on Public Transportation or whatever, people are deciding to buy cars to do it and i think its another data point to try to understand. Theres a lot theres so much here its world hunger. But all of these things are really relevant data points where we think the world will go. Thank you. Thank you. Theres nothing further. We can move on to item 8. For the public land for housing and balboa reservoir informational presentation. Yeah. Good evening, commissioners. Im project manager of the balboa project from the Planning Department. The rest of my team is here with me. Sue with Planning Department and lee from the office of economic and Workforce Development and the development team. So, the presentation will start with the projects policy background and the Community Planning process. Lee will talk about the Developer Teams election process and key compliments of the project. And then the Developer Team will go over the sites design and program of the master plan. San franciscos Housing Affordability and shortage has long been an issue and the city has developed several policies and programs to attract them. In 2014, propertie proposition d with 33 units being affordable. In support of proposition k, former mayor ed lee launched the public land for Housing Program calling for 4,000 units on public land by 2020. 50 of which will be affordable. So the Planning Department and the office of Economic Workforce Development to select the site, public land especially that can be built for housing and also provide Public Benefits those four sites are initial sites. There are more sites not shown in the map. They can help reach 27 of the targeted 4,000 units. The balboa website is in the south was nearby the balboa park station right next to city college of San Francisco, just north of ocean avenue commercial district surrounded by neighborhoods like sunny side, inkel side. This is under utilized 17acre land owned by San FranciscoPublic Utilities commission. This is the great opportunity for achieving a lot of public lands for housing goals. It can provide Affordable Housing but also physical improvements and public amenities like parks and this is nearby in money money muni sta. While the site is a great location, the site actually faces several transportation challenges. If you have been there, you might have experienced difficulties accessing Public Transit and also getting around during rush hour can be challenges. These are some of the projects the city family is working on to address Transportation Safety and accessibility issues. We are aware that and we put it high priority its a critical component to improve transit accessibility to the site and also that pro Lighting Options for people is an important priority. The project that is in 2014 with initial Community Outreach. A critical component of the Community Outreach is the balboa citizens of the add voice recommittee which is established in 2015. Providing one critical responsibilities creating principles for developers election. Over the course of 16cac meetings, we developed a comprehensive list of development parameters. That also is in response top areas of Community Interest including provisions of Affordable Housing, public open spaces and minimizing loss of city College Affordable parking and Traffic Congestion. We have under each category. Im not going to go through every single one of them but here are some key highlights. For housing, the parameters called for 50 of the housing being affordable and for transportation its focusing on maximizing and minimizing Traffic Congestion by improving safety and accessibility. The Committee Also stressed encore dinnation with city college especially on Transportation Management sorry. Transportation demand management and site planning. One of the key public parameters called for a total of four acres of open space including a minimum of 1. 5acre park. And because the site is also neighboring singlefamily homes, the urban design parameters focus on the scale and character of the development asking for temporary heights. Theres a lot of sustainable parameter goals including meeting or exceeding sustainability such as maximizing water use and meeting cities zero waste goals. Also, childcare and committee facilities in ground floor uses our called for additional Public Benefits. Thank you, hello. Lee with the office of economic and Workforce Development. Parameters formed a key element of the citys developer r. P. F. The main selection criteria focused on how well the proposals addressed those parameters. The skills and experience of the Developer Team and how well the financial proposals addressed compensation to sfpuc who owns the land. Reservoir Community Partners was selected in august of 2017. It includes a partnership between Bridge Housing and avalon bay communities with mission housing, Pacific Union develop company and habitat for humanity of San Francisco all companies with local experience who will take on various elements of this large project. The citys anticipated entitlement package includes three major components. A land disposition agreement by the sfpuc for a value that will fulfill their charter mandates to receive fair market value for their land. A development greet that will object la gate the developer to provide all of the Public Benefits and a special use district that will control uses and design. We are currently preparing a draft i. E. R. That will be released later this summer and we anticipate final e. I. R. Certification and project hearings in a year. I want to focus on the key Public Benefit for this project. 50 Affordable Housing. This ambitious goal came out of the Community Process and was based on c. A. C. Feedback and supervisor norman yees leadership. 33 of the Affordable Housing units will be funded by the Developer Partnership using cross subsidy of the 50 market rate Housing Units and conventional Affordable Housing subsidiaries. [ please stand by ] and commitments to sustainability and Workforce Development. I will introduce peter waller from the development team. Good afternoon, evening. Peter waller with the architects i am part of the Core Design Team that also includes gls landscaping and engineers. We are delighted to be part of this team, fortunate to be part of this team. We do a lot of Affordable Housing throughout the bay area area. This is very ambitious, and high goals in terms of the affordability, and all the community benefits. To work with this community, this team, and this city, is a great opportunity for us. The site has been described, for us, it is the last piece of the puzzle in the neighborhood, along with the city college Upper Reservoir sight to pull together these different uses and make a cohesive place here that really links these other pieces together. The transit aspect is critical for us. A lot of the pieces that are coming together have been talked about, these pieces were critical to plan in a way that emphasizes walking and biking. Working with the, has been a great working with the, has been a great process for us. They have also had important guidance in terms of placement of open space, uses, circulation , massing of the buildings, similarly, we have been collaborating closely with city college as they work through their facilitys master plan, and carefully coordinating our work to make sure that they can proceed with their performing arts center, and these pieces involve the pedestrian way, the vehicle circulation, all of that is coordinated. They are such a critical neighborhood, integrating with their development is critical for us. We want to make sure they use our open space. We want to make sure our residents feel like they are part of this great emerging campus, or they are an integrated neighbor. The planning of this process started with open space, and that is key in terms of the Community Plan for this space, the Community Planners and principles. We looked at the critical connection point to ocean avenue , free to call oh, city college, all the points around, and thought about how people will naturally circulate across this place and then where is that natural place for open space. Given that, the prime location, make sure we dont build on that key space, and then place the roadways around that so they interfere as little as possible with that open space, and make the best of our two connection points that we have, one at avenue and ocean, and the second one at free to call oh,. And then overlying that, a Pedestrian Network that is both on the open space and the streets and connects out to ocean avenue, the city college, all the way through bart, and in the other direction, into the courtyards to the stoops. Theres a complete network. When you step out of your front door, the obvious choice is to walk or to take the bus. As we go threedimensional, the buildings provide an important wind buffering from that prevailing north and northwest breeze, but the orientation of the park also provides good sunlight in the midst day and into the afternoon. And then the massing of the project, taller around the avenue, close to city college, stepping down all the way to three to two stories adjacent to the neighbors on westwood park. The project will have a really strong silhouette mean stepping character in view from their surroundings. And of course, a number of sustainability measures. Somewhere mentioned. Their rooftops are really prioritized for Renewable Energy generation. The open spaces are thought of as a sequence of spaces, if you think about starting down at ocean avenue on the bottom, you come up, and the sfpuc sfpuc space, which is a given, through and intimate passage, then you open up onto this large open space which is the reservoir park, almost 400 feet long, which has plenty of room for a green space for a variety of uses, from terracing, there are 20 to 30 feet of slope across this site. And indoor and outdoor space, and the associated play areas. That is the buzzer for our time. I will go a little bit more, but let me know if i need to cut it off. We are close to the end here. And then just a quick comparison to understand the space, it is really the scale of south park south of the roads that south park has around it. It is really all of that area that is green. Reservoir parkas about 2 acres altogether. It does have contact with the public roads on four sides, but not a road going around inside. Theres much more actual green space. It is still neighborhood scale, but is large enough to provide inanities and a range of uses for not just the residents here, but also the larger neighborhood the sfpuc space is also a critical active part of this. Were thinking about a number of things that could be utilized for picking up on the energy from ocean avenue and city college, and then briefly on the architecture, we are working to create an architecture that is specific for this place, that works in this neighborhood, buildings, and landscape work together. We are really focusing on the notion of indoor and outdoor spaces, lots of transparency between groundfloor amenity spaces and the streets, opening to midblock so that the courtyards become part of the open Space Network and stoops and landscape perimeters so that streets are active, but they are also green. I gave you an extra minute. I think we are about wrapped up. Are wrapped up, thank you. We may have questions. Thank you. Thank you. Okay. We will take Public Comment on this item. I have quite a few speaker cards , so when i call your name, please come on up. [calling names]. [speaking spanish] [calling names]. You get two minutes. Come on up, dont be shy. Maybe folks have left, the day is late, so i will read a few more speaker cards. [calling names] i am for defending public hit Public Education now. It sounds like a bizarre presentation about what this disaster is that is being proposed here. First of all, millions of dollars have been spent on the city and county of San Francisco in collusion with avalon to present a project which the communities against, including the neighborhoods in San Francisco. Why are they against did . You have gridlock right now. We have been discussing the issue of gridlock in San Francisco. The m. T. A. Said they will not expand ocean avenue. What does that mean. That means the 1100 condos, the milliondollar condos, mostly, they will be flooded with cars, thats what that means. It means more gridlock on ocean avenue. The fair market value, what is the fair market value of that property . It is probably 802 a billion dollars. We have not been presented with any evaluation of that property. It is worth a lot more than what avalon will pay for it. The other issue is privatization of public land because you are turning public land over to private developers, and unfortunately, the chancellor is going along with that and he is supporting development by the private developers. This is the privatization of public land and it is against the interest of the people of San Francisco. The San FranciscoLabor Council has called for the transfer of that land by the p. U. C. To the Community College so they can develop it. If they want housing for students and teachers, they can do it. We should not trust the developers to take care of the interest and the needs of the people of San Francisco. We need to protect the public land, and students who drive to the college, workingclass students, will no longer be able to do that, and the performing Arts Education center will be destroyed with this development. How are people going to get to it . Where are they going to park . They cant because it will be developed by avalon for their uses, for private use. That has to stop, and we have to stop this project. Thank you. Next speaker, please. [indiscernible] george had to leave, so he asked me to read a recent resolution by the coalition of the sentences will neighborhoods , even though it doesnt have all the pieces. He said, be it resolved the coalition for San Francisco neighborhoods asks the San FranciscoPublic Utility Commission to transfer this public property to city college of San FranciscoSan Francisco and furthermore, be it resolved the coalition for San Francisco neighborhoods urges the City College Board of trustees to exercise their right as a Public Institution to ask a San Francisco p. U. C. To transfer this public property to city college of San Francisco so we can keep it forever in public hands for the public good. And furthermore, be resolved the coalition for San Francisco neighborhoods urges the City College Board of trustees to remain vigilant, to ensure that the performing Arts Education center be built before any development on the balboa reservoir that goes forward. And furthermore, be it resolved, in the event of the transfer of title to the property to city college that does not take place , develop it is pursued, the coalition for San Francisco neighborhoods urges the City College Board of trustees to remain vigilant to ensure that any loss of parking be mitigated before any development on the balboa reservoir goes forward so as not to limit the educational access of any student. The coalition for San Francisco neighborhoods represents many neighborhood groups throughout the city. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Harry bernstein, first, the big picture. Balboa reservoir project amounts to an excessive number of units now proposed, 1100 to 1550, with a much higher density and the surrounding neighborhoods, plus substantial increased Traffic Congestion without effective medication or improvement of transit infrastructure. The privatization of public land goes against the longterm public interest. Some background, before there was the citizens advisory committee, there was the balboa park station area plan, and one policy of the plan was to dissolve the west basin of the balboa reservoir to the greatest benefit of the city as a whole, as well as for the surrounding neighborhood, but what would be the greatest benefit for the city . The discussion never took place. One space, open space is one option. The former mayor preferred housing, and that was that. They got maybe 500 units at the time. Reclaiming this site, another possibility. It is educational space for city college, which is also a valid option. In the late 1980s, the board of supervisors had once offered the reservoir site to city college for a token payment of 1 dollar, but the mayor next to that. We have come a long way since then, so the gilding height should have been 25 to 65 feet, that is what the parameters came up with, but that four the forprofit developer, having five to seven units, an accident asking for in excess of 75 to 85 feet. So from the parameter, to the Community Development did not really result in what the development wants to do. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Christine hanson. This property has come before the San Francisco voters on four occasion previously for zoning changes for potential sales to a private developer, but the voters have rejected those plans the increase in the area population with no support or solution to the various types of congestion in the proposed project alternatives is inconsistent with the San Francisco general plan in multiple ways, and those are too vast to be considered without a ceqa review of the zoning change is very possible that the voters preference for special use district in this area would be for one that centers around city college instead of the one being proposed. In San Francisco, the price of land is a prime obstacle to building 100 Affordable Housing keeping the land in public hands still allows for this possibility. One successful example is san mateos Community College, which has 100 permanently affordable units that were constructed using truly affordable rent paid by teachers. On the other hand, the amount of housing in this development that a fulltime city College Teacher can afford in the reservoir will be eightpoint 5 . They have created a gap between affordability and the low, moderate, and market rate. The percentage of units affordable for people who earn less than 90,000 is 26 . A college review would also protect instead of endanger future educational buildings like the City College Performing Arts in education center. It has a goal to be designed to fulfil eight objections, four goals, in 15 policies of the San Francisco general plan in regards to the arts if it gets built, with that is not certain now. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon, commissioners my name is amy. I serve on the Balboa Reservoir Community Advisory Committee as a representative of the sunnyside neighborhood and of Sunnyside Neighborhood Association. Im also an officer of Sunnyside Neighborhood Association, and i have lived in the neighborhood for 20 years. Like the other officers of Sunnyside Neighborhood Association, i support the project, but with reservations. We have several concerns about things. We have been pleased to be able to bring them forward to the developers through the process. I am a 35 year resident of the city, and a homeowner, but it positively i positively want more housing in the city. I wanted in my backyard, sunnysides backyard at the balboa reservoir. I like transitoriented housing and it would increase density and it is the only rational feature of the city. I walk the walk myself. My family commutes, shops, dines out by bike and Public Transit. Nonetheless, i would like to draw your attention to particular outstanding features as a proposed plan for the balboa reservoir site. It is 1100 residential units that are built on 17 acres. He density of a show of units to acres that would be about 65. The contrast, sunnyside and other adjacent neighborhoods have a density of about ten to 15 units per acre, about six times as dense. Sixtyfive units in acre is a lot. Chinatown has 62 according to the 2010 census data. If the Planning Departments additional housing option of 1550 units are built, that raises the density to over 90 units per acre, exceeding any other neighborhood in the city. The original reservoir plan. Thank you, your time is up. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Steve martin, Sunnyside Neighborhood Association president , im also part of the Veterans Affairs commission and a firefighter in chinatown. When i first heard about this project, we were sold on about 500 units, and i thought, okay, im okay with that, that sounds reasonable, then the number crept up to 1100, and now we are possibly looking at 1550, plus another 500 units for City College Student housing. It started to make me really nervous because the things im concerned about, overcrowding and traffic are becoming very real. I know we are in a housing crisis right now, i get that, we have to remember a couple of things. One project will not solve the entire citys housing crisis and second thing is, cramming the maximum of number of people into a space is not wise or is it safe for urban planning. I get the fact that we are in a declared climate crisis, i think that by reducing parking and, you know, gas stations, there is little to reduce the Carbon Emissions. Because as people stop owning cars, that doesnt mean they will stop using cars. Ridesharing is actually increasing traffic and causing even more emissions of carbon. The only way i see forward is to increase the transportation infrastructure in the area. Right now, it is woefully inadequate. They are in single car trains, and all the buses run into traffic. With the addition of these new residents, it will slow down buses and trains and make transportation even less viable and services such as Ridesharing Companies more viable, more attractive. What i would like to see happen is for this project to be scaled down to reasonable amount until we have the time to improve our transportation infrastructure such as under grounding of the k. And jay line to make it more fast and efficient. After that point, after we achieve that, then we can talk about increasing it. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. I am jennifer, also from sunnyside. I have been involved with the balboa reservoir discussions for over four years, and the balboa reservoir Citizens Advisory Council was formed with at least 50 of mayor lees appointees, and it was meant to represent all the interests of the city, rather than just neighborhood interest. Principle three of the document of recommendations was agreed to by all of the representatives of the balboa reservoir organization. All but one. It was to help to alleviate the citys under supply of housing by creating housing without compromising the quality of design or construction or outpacing needed transportation infrastructure. This is agreed to by everybody, except one person who did not sign off on this whole document. For years, sunnyside has expressed support for 40 will housing on the reservoir and an already congested transportation infrastructure, significantly improved, and needed City College Parking is replaced. We were all aware of Longtime City College plans for the performing Arts Education center and that it was already expected to reduce Available Space for parking. Adequate parking replacement continues to be an issue for city college and has not been resolved by the developers or planners. We also have concerns about how the development will impact our small bluecollar service businesses, and the many local educational institutions that are in our small community. In sunnyside, we have two elementary schools, at least nine preschools, and we are adjacent to oriordan high school. None of these high schools have direct representation at community meetings, but they will be impacted. Students currently fill up the standing room area of the 43 bus one classes get out in the afternoon and theres already heavy usage of munimobile by c
