Philosophy of moving to this 100 i understand you made the decision to go into a completely automate the system but were losing a significant value that cant be measured by the bottom line. Whats your response to that . I think its finding the right balance. To be clear we know theres fear but ive been clear and we worked collaboratively with the teamsters, we wont take the facilities down to no operators. Commissioner Aliso Ferrell is down to two people. One at one time of day and a gap in the shift. If theres demands for additional staff this is flexible. Commissioner sounds like you have a petition of 300 customers. And we have been meeting with stakeholders throughout the process long before i arrived at the m. T. A. I cant get a clear idea of how many more cuts you have planned. Theres one slide. The majority of changes have been made. Theres been a few facilities that have not gone through the upgrades yet. Commissioner so these cuts are all based on your overall Capital Development to automating the system . So everywhere you put in the Automated System you intend to cut more staff. Thats not always the case. Its case by case but its been the stacked Parking Program which is the majority of the cuts. Therell be a lot going under construction. That lot goes away. Thats pretty straightforward. The mosconi garage will also have staff cut there. Aside from that, 90 plus and a large number of cuts. It will be minimal and we can provide a full picture of what that looks like. Commissioner thats why we called you here today trying to get a full picture. Commissioner i dont want to cut supervisor safai off. I want to thank him for scheduling this year and thank all members of the public for coming out and testifying today and a number of facilities are in the Northeast Corner of county of San Francisco i have the honor of representing. While i try to use the other side of your house as often as possible by which i am referring to the bus i have been known to park in those garages both within my district and in supervisor haneys district and its about jobs and the customers experience and the relationship but with customers who we directly or indirectly employee and i understand the world has changed with uber and congression and people arent commuting ways they historically have and that comes with demand and as someone in office for 20 years weve not made outageous demands on the city. Weve been pretty darn reasonable and have adjusted to things when adjustments need to happen. And i was part of proposition a 2017 and while supervisor safai and i share some same frustrations weve generally been able to work it out with the good old thing we call the telephone or inperson meetings. And im hopeful in the next few weeks it will resolve itself in the same manner with the teamsters at the table and the customers we heard from. I will say i have gotten fabulous emails from customers that arent teamsters and arent city employees. Im looking for one i got earlier today. I read one in the record. Commissioner if you want to talk about a human relationship is the relationship between the folks who its like going to the coffee shop. You love the person that serves you coffee every important and you love the person that valets your car or makes the place feel safe. Im bummed out because i go to port smith square a lot and we all get called to meetings and events usually that happen on the roof of that parking garage. We all jet in there. And can i tell you, i miss paying that person in person. I have do figure out the dang machine and im 55 years old and i missed the interaction with the person who was my neighbor and knew for years. Im happy to participate offline, online with the mta and teamsters and supervisor safai. I want to thank supervisor safai. I hope we can all come to the table and work something out that makes a lot of sense. And as i said last tuesday at the San Francisco county authority theres growing frustration by a majority of the board not with you, sir, but with your commission that inevitably in the cycle of Human Behavior will play itself out in some way and god only knows none of us want to wake up august 1 and not have cable cars, light rail or trollies or busses and this could be the one that breaks the camels back. With that supervisor haney. The city doesnt directly employ the teamsters. Were not part teamsters we have thirdparty operators that employ them directly. We have a number of facilities. We have the 20plus facilities. If there is a reduction of staff at another facility because of the way the cba works the opportunities have been particularly here the Staff Members have been offered positions depending on how that looks. I cant speak to it directly other than to say im not sitting in to make the decisions but they have assured me no one has lost a job. Commissioner netnet, Job Opportunities are being reduced. The human might bounce from one job to another job but there are less jobs overall. Can we stipulate to that . I cant speak to if theyve reduced other staff but my understanding is they had need for other facilities. Youre saying theyre growing their job demand as were shrinking hours . In this case thats my understanding, yes. Commissioner thats counterintuitive. Ill hand it back to you. Commissioner just for the record and the conversations weve had with teamsters if a position is eliminate order reduced through a city parking garage its been our understanding theres been a reduction in the staffing overall so i just want to say that for the record. I think theres be 100 straightforward in this conversation. This is about eliminating jobs and creating more efficiencies and trying to increase revenue and doing it on the backs of working people. Supervisor haney. Thank you. Also, it seems like theres significant reduction in the valet shifts in response to reduced parking demand. So are you saying that people are using Valet Parking less or overall parking is down and it spilled over to Valet Parking and measuring the number of Valet Parking shifts . Its significant in terms of the number or is it theres a move away from valet as a service that were providing . No, specific to the major area of concern is Aliso Ferrell and that area. Theres three different facilities and southern stockton and Aliso Ferrell and union square i can speak to those in that Geographic Area the demand has don gone down and at any given time theres 500 available spaces and there is plentyiful amount at the other facilities. Commissioner its overall reduction. For the garage ambassadors, can you speak a little bit more about what theyre role is and is that a new role . It is. Commissioner and are you seeing positive results from that . Yes, so we are seeing positive results and hearing responses from some folks here. I want to make sure we are getting it out better and many of the fixed cashier shifts should be roefg the garage. We roving the garage and i heard someone said were not told to stay near the pay machine but the folks should be roving the garage helping peep answering questions, giving directions, walking people to their car. The numbers listed go to the teamsters. If we dont have enough at a certain shift and that call is going nowhere, we need to make sure we have the proper staff to field those calls at a facility during busy times. Thats all good feedback to hear specifically at Aliso Ferrell maybe we need to manage that better and understand that with operators. Commissioner it does seem like theres a disconnect from the appearance people have having and what some of the sense of perspective from where you are around it so i recognize the position youre in so if theres a way to take the speedback and have it inform what is happening because i think its about people and the folks are out there and understand whats happening and want a great experience for the people visiting the garages and theres firsthand experience that can inform steps moving forward. I agree. We hope to have a firstclass parking system in the city of San Francisco. Ill take the information and take up chair peskins idea to have offline conversations and address all the issues. Commissioner thank you. Thank you. Commissioner i want to dive in a little deeper on Aliso Ferrell. When i look at the case study, its not clear to me. Are there Valet Parking happening at Aliso Ferrell anymore . How many were there prior to reducing it . It doesnt sound like the demand for valet disappeared sounds like the overall tickets were reduced at that. It seems like you made a unilateral decision to reduce service with significant demand at that location. To answer, it looked like we reduced staff by about six in quarter one and reduced it down from 19 to 10. About 16. So there were 16 valet and now zero. And how many people besides the valet are working at the facility that were nonvalet perhaps ticket takers or whatever positions there were. How many other people were there . Dont have a staffing schedule but theres managers and janitorial staff. Commissioner im talking about the fulltime staff involved. It sounds like major, major reduction. It sounds like theres very Little People left doing the job of a facility i have to say is one of the most prominent garages in the entire union square area. If you were to put a face on the sfmta Shopping System for a worldclass Shopping System having been to chicago, miami, dallas, austin, new york, boston, union square is one of the most firstclass shopping experiences in the entire united states. If all of a sudden jean people were used to having at least 16 valet and now down to zero, and its this Automated System, you reduced something that was part of a firstclass jewel to something it sounds like people hate it. To me this is a major flaw of the sfmta and the direction of where were going in our parking system. And i havent gotten a clear answer from you on how many more reductions therell be. I want to say this for the report as we have offline conversations would you be willing and i could is the sfmta to having a moratorium on more reductions of staff until we can get a real understanding of how this is impacting the Customer Experience because you werent even aware today that over 301 buildings the flood building, just one building, signed a petition to say theyre absolutely outraged you took away the valet system and thats just one building. I understand you made a decision to invest 32 million. But i have to tell you, my wife parks in an operated valet system and i can tell you right now, if there were not people in that garage i would not my wife parking in that garage. The first thing id say to her is be conscious of where you park. You heard people here today say they parked at the civic center and no longer want to. Were reducing a service on the backs of working people. It makes no sense to me. Are you guys committed to putting a stop to this and engaging with the people that represent this workforce . Because i know you say you dont directly engage in the collective bargaining but the Decision Making has been handed down to companies to give them the authority to make these staffing decisions. We want to make not just a world class shopping and parking destination and i feel we want to be that way. Id like to invite mr. Gleeson back to respond. Were talking about staffing and is there a clear idea how many more cuts will happen . Is there in your opinion 16 valets in one garage and they said a certain amount but the numbers keep getting bigger. Whats your experience in the number of cuts that have happened . Theyre coming without notice to us, first of all. And we found no pushback from laz and emco. They seem to be coming from decisions made at the sfmta and when we sit with them in a couple rounds the fast few months we asked whats the next batch of cuts to expect and we get no concrete answer. As i sit here it makes no sense to me everyones enjoying and participating in and you remove that service and people are paying customers for that service. Whats been your experience talking to the front line people and staff involved in going valet . Have may been netnet . Are they getting laid off . This is disruptive to their families because theyre expecting a normal routine of shift and routine of days off to participate with their family on a regular basis but probably more important and this is absolutely the fact about whats going on in the parking industry, at least in for instance, as theres layoffs some high srnt seniority workers and they bounce around through the entire infrastructure of parking in San Francisco. We represent workers at over 300 garages and private sector all the merk office buildings, all the nearly all the class a hotels. When theres a layoff anywhere it has a Ripple Effect nearly the almost 1300, 1400 workers in this industry throughout the city. Its a direct effect. It affects the expectations the workers can have around the rest of their live, Educational Opportunities with their family and other things like that. Commissioner as the sfmta been a willing partner to have the conversation and how long has this been going on with the sfmta . Weve been concentrating on this the last year. Theyve been a willing partner. They were polite conversations. Commissioner not just facilitating a conversation for lip service. My perspective is theres not been any. Commissioner youve been in conversations for a year and in that time have there continued to be cuts . We had a conversation and then heard about new cuts and thats our recollection within the last 90 days. Thats where we find ourselves. Its been very frustrating. Commissioner i guess i can go on and on. Thank you mr. Gleeson. Im happy to continue this item to the call of the clair. And if its not a conflict im happy to lend assistance in getting this figured out for the time being. With that theres a motion to continue the item to the call of the chair and we will take that without objection. Thank you for your testimony. Im sorry that it got to the point where it to come here. Commissioner with that would you call item 4shgs, 4, our lat item. Clerk by order nan to streamline Small Business permitting by among other things amending the health code to align regulation of restaurant enclosures for Outdoor Food Service and restroom requirements with state standards amending the planning code to clarify that with type 23 Liquor License may be used in conjunction with bar or restaurants use. Commissioner i want to continue this for one week and thank you supervisor safai. Any members of the public that would like to comments on item 4. Seeing none its closed. Ill move this to be one week to be the first item on our meeting of june 24 which meeting will be held on the 4th floor because its going to be all day budget Public Comment on that day so without objection well continue item 4 one week. Clerk mr. Chair. Commissioner of course. Im sorry. I did not realize that. Please come forward. Take your time. Thank you, supervisor peskin. This legislation seeks to standardize neighborhood Business Districts and some would benefit from that. Neighborhood commercial districts wont. We have ncd regulations tailored so each neighborhood. Dont throw out our hard work. Its a mixture of homes, apartments and businesses. And we researched the legislation and the proposed changes in the Haight Ashbury and we heard on what changing the Liquor License hours could mean by allowing backyard businesses open to 10 00 p. M. Or 4 00 a. M. Would impact residences would live close to them and mixing Live Entertainment and games to backyards could be bad for working people. Ive been in the arcade in certain areas and never seen anything so noisy. The legislation may be trying to solve a problem of vacancies and businesses but this is not the way to go at it. Each neighborhood has unique needs and please hold neighborhood meetings to test support before thinking about changing even one of these. Thank you. Commissioner thank you for your testimony and well take this up next week. Are there any other members of the public who would like to testify on this item . Seeing none, we will continue this to our meeting of june 24 as item number 1 and we are adjourned. When speaking before the commission if you state your name for the record id like to take roll this at time. [ roll call ] which expect richards to be absent. Item 1 consideration of Adoption Draft minutes for june 6th, to 19. I have no speaker cards. Would anybody like to provide Public Comment on the draft minutes . With that that comment is closed. Commissioner hillis. Thank you, commissioners, on that motion to adopt the minutes for june 6th, 2019. [ roll col call ] so moved. That motion passes 50. Item 2. Commission comments and questions. So i would just like to comment on the hearing that we just had in respectfully request that the Department Come back with the work that you started a couple years ago and improve upon it. Because i think that part of what is going on is that they have been coming up every week begging us to look at the demo calcs and weve been waiting for this legislation and we havent taken the appropriate action. We need to do what is right. Im hoping we can support staff in doing that. Seeing nothing further we can move on to department matters. Item 3, directors announcement im sorry, did you want to Say Something . Im happy to take that message back to staff and i think im thinking that we have we would come up with kind of a conceptual level and an alternative level. Were not solving for the world. Were solving for this specific issue. Other than that i have no new announcements. Thank you. Item 4, review the board of supervisors board of appeals and the preservation commission. Good afternoon, commissioners, i will give you the report, the summary of board of activities for this week. And the Land Use Committee there were three items of interest. The first was supervisor ronens ordinance to legalize 3150 18th street. You heard this item on may 23rd and voted to approve with modifications. The commissioners proposed modifications were to decrease the programs time period from 10 to three years for office uses. At the land use hearing, the item was continued per the request of sponsoring supervisors to provide more time to work with work on the proposed amendments and there was no Public Comment. Next, the Committee Heard supervisor mandelmans building standards and modifying buildings and residential districts and commissioners, heard this ordinance on april 11th and you recommended four modifications. Only one individual spoke about the item during Public Comment. The speaker mentioned that increasing building heights a forwards the opportunities to house the citys homeless and provides space for other public uses. The committee moved to continue the item to june 24th, one week to give the sponsor time to further refine his amendments. Because the Land Use Committee moved to continue the item, there was no deliberation. Last was the small brings streamlining ordinance. It would, among other things, expand the types of Liquor Licenses allowed with a bar use, reduce the one quarter mile buffer around limited non conforming commercial uses to 300 feet, amend the definitions of general entertainment and allow Outdoor Activities areas that operate between 10 00 a. M. In order to approve with modifications and the proposed modification was to retain the condition a lot use authorization requirement for Outdoor Activity areas associated with the bar use. Without Public Comment, this item continued to june 24th because the committee ran out of time. And then on tuesday at the full board, there were three items that all passed on second read. The landmark designation for 524 union street, a. K. A. The paper doll, the planning code amendment, a regional commercial and folsom street transit districts and the last ordinance was the accessory dwelling units in new construction. Thank you. Thank you. There are no questions the board of appeals on behalf of the Zoning Administration the board of appeals met last night and the Planning Commission considered two requests for discretionary review for the project at 463 duncan street december 8th. The proposal was to expanding a singlefamily home and the concerns were mostly related to privacy and the across the street neighbors concerns were related to anesthetics. The Planning Commission took d. R. And reduced the depth of deck and required a privacy screen along the eastside of the deck to better address the neighbors privacy concerns however due to the addition of the second dwelling units and its parity the commission tornado no other modifications to the project. It was appealed by the same two d. R. Requesters and they raised similar concerns and arguments to the board of appeals however there were two issues that needed to be addressed. First the permit had only included a planner box as the required privacy screen with an intent to provide vegetation as the screen. All parties agreed that the planner box should be instead replaced by a solid screen, second the additional dwelling unit was approved with three bedrooms and a study but d. B. I. Determined that two interior bedrooms did not have egress and con be considered bedrooms. They were a mended to relabel those as library and media room resulting in an 1800 square foot unit with one legal bedroom. Considering these issues, they voted 31 to approve the permit that the privacy glass be used for the three eastfacing windows at the first floor and the required privacy screen on the eastside of the second floor rear deck is seven feet tall and made of opaque glass. Third, the new basement level dwelling unit be revised as needed to ensure it contains at least two legal bedrooms per the building code. The Historic Preservation commission did met yesterday. They considered a couple minor permits but it may have been of interest to the Planning Commission as they recommended legacy Business Applications for a number of Small Businesses including hockey haven out in the avenues and anchor brewing. If there are no questions, we can move on to general Public Comment. I have no speaker cards. Ok. Hi. I was there last night thats why i said i needed a nap. Can i have the overhead, please. I saw this and i was thinking something else. Anyway. I saw this problem back in february when i looked at plans. He had relabeled the plans. And i thought, that was one of the reasons at the d. R. That i wanted someone to do something about the facade was its a medicine terrain yall revival at outlined by mary brown and her studies and i thought it was worth saving and i still think it is because here it is and now it will be gone and i dont know what im looking at but this is nice. Back in february i saw 2 and here it is and you see and i thought what the hell. Scum. Excuse me. Its a onebedroom det below the garage. Thats not what she wanted. I suggested the time that they put the second unit in the garage level and go out and follow a nice standard San Francisco plan. Thats typical medicine terrain an revival house. You have kitchen and a breakfast nook and the two bedrooms there and put the second unit in a garage and preserve the facade. I mean, theres a house around the corner from it built by the same guy as i said last night and there it is. They preserved it. Its going for two and a quarter Million Dollars and that is the pending. I dont know what it sold for. Again, you know, here is another one that is gone. Another one of thats gone and this is it in the process so im getting back to your whole issue with the demo calcs. There it is and there it is now. Its all gone. So, i want to thank the commissioner for considering the demo calcs. You never started the clock on me but thats ok. I do want to thank mr. Heppner because he worked hard and his heart is really in the right place. I hope that you know, people appreciate that and that we proceed and everybody is happy in the end. Thank you, very much. Thank you. Next speaker, please. I have a mental clock. Overhead as well. And i have copies of this to to handout. Because you cant see the whole thing, you are not seeing the top. This is a notice of pre application meeting. I want you to notice the date. July 3rd at 6 00 p. M. What is the address of the project . The project is one block south of what the Ground Breaking was this afternoon for the city. This and folsom. How many years did they say here . Its really obscured. A lot of units. Ive never seen the nerve of a person having a preapp meeting at 6 00 the eve of a holiday. July 3rd, is july 4th. At 6 00 no one is there. Theyre going out of town for a long weekend. Including the Planning Department. This kind of manipulation provokes people sometimes saying we got to change it in the rules. They should be able to change it by strict humiliation. The Planning Department and the Planning Commission should say, what the hell are you doing . Pardon me. Im not allowed to say that word. What is going on here . You cant have a real meeting with a real community, one, the night before a holiday at 6 00 in the morning. 6 00 in the afternoon and secondarily, you see up here its at fourth and third and folsom. The meeting is in the financial district. At montgomery and post. [ please stand by ] good afternoon, todd david. I want to give a sacramental update. A new housing bill sb592. So, its a technical issue to the housing can really act. Claiming that there are some and buick get it i just wanted to give a quick update about what thats about. Its a technical fix to the houses accountability act. Accountability are denying code compliant housing. There are ambiguities in the housing act of this piece of legislation is an attempt to close those loopholes. Sb 592 will make its way through the process. Thank you. Next speaker, please. That was my notice for the preapplication meeting. We followed all of the guidelines of in the Planning Departments preop requirements. Sue, if you would like to meet personally, i would like to be with you to discuss the project. We originally intended to propose a Hotel Project on the site, working on entitlements on that since 2016, due to the change in zoning at the very end, we are now doing residential on the site. Hopefully an hst project. We are very excited about it. My Contact Information is on that flyer. Im reaching out to anybody who would like to meet with us and i would love to meet with them. Thank you. Thank you. Anyone else for general Public Comment . Okay. General Public Comment is now closed. That will place us under your regular calendar item 5, [reading items] Diego Sanchez with Planning Department staff. The item before you is proposed legislation regarding intermittent activities and temporary use. The ordinances proposed by supervisor brown. Allowing operation for Farmers Market at the dmv Office Located at 1377 fell st. By allowing an intermittent activity to be located on the lot with a public facility in specified residential Zoning Districts. If they are located on a parcel that contains a hospital in post secondary education institution. Intermittent activities would be allowed in these Zoning Districts if they are located on a parcel that contains a hospital. Post secondary institution or public facility. Public facilities are similar to other facilities that already allowed intermittent uses on the parcels. This ordinance will allow Farmers Market to expand, allowing more vendors to participate. Additionally the ordinance provides more opportunities to introduce new Farmers Markets and other neighborhoods as it is reaching citywide. After the packet was published, the department determined that the ordinance had a different sequence determination than what was published. I have a second version of the draft resolution that has that determination and i brought here for the record. The department supports the proposed ordinance because it supports the commerce goal to strengthen the neighborhood serving goods and services. The Department Recommends approval of the ordinance. This includes staffs presentation. Thank you. Thank you. Go ahead, sorry. I will be brief because i know you had a long day. Thank you for your time today in considering those resolutions. Supervisor brown introduced update to the planning code you are considering today after learning that the Farmers Market through the pan hold panhandle had negotiated an agreement with the state Department Motor vehicles to move the department from grove street to the dmvs parking lot at broderick and fell. Then they found out they cannot move to the lot because of the current planning codes. The Farmers Market is of particular importance back in 2008 when she was a legislative aide she played a major role in working with the community to get that market open. 11 years later, she is asking the commission to approve a sensible fix to allow this important, much beloved neighborhood institution to grow and continue to serve the neighborhood. We currently allow intermittent activities like Farmers Markets, hospitals and post secondary educational institutions. Its surprising we do not allow them at public facilities like the dmv parking lot. The Pacific CoastFarmers Market association which runs the Farmers Market is a great neighbor. The move and expansion they are proposing has the full support of supervisor brown. [reading items] in addition, merchants support the move and expansion. Furthermore, the proposed market will reopen grove street on sundays providing relief to the folks living on grove who currently have to make contingency plans for accessing their garages every weekend for the last 11 years. It will activate a space of in district 5 that is currently not being used on sundays. To clarify, some folks do gather there for freestyle skateboarding which we fully support. The proposed side of the market will not have an impact on them. Finally with the planning code update, the potential for additional Farmers Markets open in the parking lots of our schools, museums and other public facilities will be a great benefit to the city. Thank you for your time. Thank you. Do we have any Public Comment on this proposed legislation . Okay. Commissioner koppel. [laughter] supervisor brown, great job, definite better use of a parking lot, a large parking lot to help out the neighborhood. Motion to approve. On that motion to approve, fung . That motion passes unanimously sixzero. [reading items] good afternoon, pres. Melger and commissioners. My name is audrey harris, senior manager of the Planning Department. I am pleased to present to you the 2018 downtown plan monitoring report. As a refresher to you and to the public, the downtown plan was adopted in 1985. At the time garnered National Attention earning a front page debut on the new york times. This plan grew out of a need to foster a thriving economy and to retain the urban patterns and structures built there. It would do this by absorbing cities new rob joe job growth by increasing carpooling and transit use to accommodate growth. In short, progress in 2018 indicates that office is still hot. Retail is cooling, and we may be losing some ground on some of our goals around transportation. The purpose of this annual report is to monitor the plans progress of meeting its goals and to evaluate the growth and effectiveness of the plan. The report gathers data from a variety of sources on metrics relating to the goals of the downtown plan, including information on commercial space, employment activity and revenue trends, and the downtown support infrastructure such as housing and the production of it and the infrastructure for transportation. We can start by looking at office and retail vacancies as an indicator of the health of the downtown market. Nationally speaking a vacancy rate of 10 is healthy, 10 or lower is healthy and 5 is even better. Some vacancy is recognized as being needed to keep the prices of the market more stable. The Office Vacancy rate downtown continues to fall from a highend 2016 of 12 receipt to 7. 7 in 2018 and concurrently average Downtown Office rents continue to rise increasing by 6 to just over 75 per square foot of office space. For more context, these changes occurred even as over 1,000,000 ft. Of new office space came online. On the other hand, the Retail Vacancy rate downtown rose by 2. 5 from 2017. At a 6. 6 vacancy rates, this is still considered to be healthy. However this increase is enough to still raise some flags and as a result the Planning Department, the office of economic workforce and development are working together with supervisors and yourselves to keep an eye on this. Furthermore, Hotel Occupancy and average room rates have climbed back up from the low rate in 2017. This recovery in the Hotel Industry and the changes in retail can be attributed to multiple factors. Two of which may be the effects of the recent completion of the gunny Center Renovations in the central subway station at union square. In 2018, employment continue to grow. Slightly faster than the previous year. Citywide employment grew by 2 in 2018. Assign that growth over the last couple of years is picking back up. As of the Second Quarter of 2018 there were over 724,600 jobs in San Francisco. Accounting for about 40 of those jobs, downtown employment grew faster by about 5 from employment in 2017. Not on this slide that i wanted to make sure i mentioned, in 2018 over 1,000,000 ft. Of office was completed compared to the previous year, this is about half of what was completed in 2017. However as you can see on the slide, or pipeline of the Downtown Office space continues to grow. From 2,900,000 ft. In quarter four of 2017, up to 3,400,000 ft. In quarter 4 of 2018. 14 of the office space in the pipeline is under construction. This is on par with the share that was in 2017. Before i go on, i would like to point out in the packet that i just sent out his corrections to any indication of the pipeline. There is some coda corrections on the office space that was in the pipeline and also the housing. Speaking of housing, the downtown plan set a goal of building an annual average of about 10001500 new Housing Units in San Francisco to meet the demand resulting from increased employment and downtown on the housing market. In 2018 about 2300 new units were constructed in the city. This is down from last years production of 4270. As has been the case in the many years, prior to this, new units in the downtown area represent a significant portion of the citywide housing production. In 2018 downtown accounted for 38 of those new units. As our residential pipeline continues to grow. Downtown remains a significant portion of the expected units in the future. There are currently 10,000 units in the downtown residential districts. Outside of any master plan in the pipeline. The downtown plan also set out a goal to expand carpooling and downtown. It states that the number of persons commuting by vehicle must increase from 1. 48 up to 1. 66 persons per vehicle. Census data indicates people commute of a rate of 0. 9 persons per vehicle and downtown. For workers and downtown the rate of carpooling decreased by 26 from the years 20102016. Another goal of the plan is the use of transit by downtown workers must increase to 67 of the work trips to avoid unacceptable levels of congestion. There are two different data sources we could look at track this. One is more reliable than the other. There is actual transit ridership from our transit agencies that you see on the left, and then there is a census estimate. Transit ridership all over the country has seen a gradual decrease in the last couple of years. This is no different for San Francisco as you can see by the figures on the slide. On the other hand, the sense it estimates that the San Francisco shares and downtown has increased by 11 . During that same time. The proportion of driver roundtrips has decreased by 8 . With that, transit and walking continue to be the most perceived popular commute modes of the downtown residence. The available data is odd at this point, transit is the most popular way for employees in downtown to get around. In 1981, the city adopted a trance tatian impact fee. For new Office Development and downtown. This fee was created to alleviate negative impacts on the cities Transportation System coming from these developments. In the fiscal year, 2018, 18. 4 million was collected.
