Devices. All documents included as part of the file should be submitted to the clerk. Items acted upon today will be acted upon in the january 29, 2013 board of supervisors meeting unless otherwise stated. We only have two items on this agenda. Item 1 is an ordinance amending the San FranciscoBusiness Code to permit permit expirations and extensions and to modify various fees. We have from the department of building inspection Pamela Levitt good afternoon, pamela levin, Deputy Director administrative services, department of building inspection. The legislation before you is designed it achieve the following objectives. The first is to continue to encourage the growth in the economy by extending the life for review and approval for permit applications for large projects from 360 to 720 days, clarifying the time limitations for permit processing so that it begins when the permit is provided to dbi for review and the clock stops when it is returned to planning for a Design Change that is required by the building department. Extending the period of time for dbi to notify a project sponsor before a permit is canceled, and extending the time for completing all the work authorized by a building permit. The second objective was to correct a publication error for the fees associated with 3r reports. This error occurred during the last code cycle when it was published. And the final is to reduce fees for copying plans to the levels consistent with the Sunshine Task forces recommendations. This legislation was unanimously approved by the Building Inspection Commission in march of 2012. Ill be glad to answer any questions. I see no questions supervisor cohen. Hi, good afternoon, pam. I have a quick question about the proposal for increasing the time period for the permit, extensions from 365 days to 2 excuse me to 720 days. I just wanted to know the reasons for this. Pamela levin. Every month we have a meeting with the code Citizen Advisory Committee of the Building Inspection Department and one of the things that routinely came up is that people would have to come back and extend their permit even though they had, you know, it was stuck in one of the departments for a review and so in order to try to make it more advantageous for people to have permits to go through the process, to not keep coming back and having to pay again and again, we decided that we would extend it. Okay. And another quick question about a timeline. The timeline when the ipic will be completing their infrastructure project, do you know what the timeline is, the proposed timeline . Yes, what happens is that you have, depending upon your valuation of your permit, you have, like, for smaller permits you have a year and then you can extend it for another year, but if you have anything over 100,000 to essentially just below 2. 5 million, you have 180 days to do the work but then you would only have another year. And so what were trying to do is be cognizant of the fact that it does take a long time to get large projects on the ground, it takes a long time to go through the process, make sure that you are meeting all the regulations of the city so we wanted to give enough time for people to be able to complete their projects. Great, thank you very much. Thank you. Seeing no other questions lets open this up for Public Comment. Is there anyone from the public that would like to speak . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Colleagues, can we move this forward for a positive recommendation without objection . Thank you. Mr. Evans, could you please call item 2. Item no. 2 is a hearing on the interagency plan implementation committees annual Progress Report and the controllers Development Impact fee report. Thank you. I have called this annual hearing for today and presenting for the Planning Department is adam ferret we need the other mic on. It should be on. Good afternoon, supervisors, adam barrett from the Planning Department. This is annual report and presentation about the report of the interagency plan implementation committee. 3 4 1. You are correct,in con hill doesnt have a cac in terms of the streetscape plan, this is a fairly old image, here there was a series of meetings actually, Public Meetings there, where the result was a ranked list of the Capital Improvements that they wanted to see so we are using that in that case. Thank you. This is showing the haight street, were also looking at pedestrian improvements along market, franklin and golf street and were working with a developer at 2001 market and looking at pedestrian improvements at dolores street as well that they would build as part of the in kind agreement. This is showing what was built as part of in kind revenue converting hays street. Eastern naipbds neighborhoods has a number of projects. Through the board adoption of that plan we were required to spend 80 percent of fee revenue on a set of predefined priority projects. In that case, that happened through the plan adoption. Several of those are moving forward, notablely the ipic report or the ipic plan gives a significant amount of funding to the 16th street improvements as well as to the 17th and folsom park, which is shown here, which is one of the priority improvements and the plans called for sort of a new park in each neighborhood and this would be the one in the initial district. We also did some planning in the Showplace Square which i think you were references around what open spaces could be developed there and in terms of prioritizing which ones were the most important. The community and cac felt this project at dagett triangle would be the priority project there. Thats also an in kind agreement that would be built by the developer of the adjacent properties and provide a new public part in that neighborhood. Lastly, balboa park has significantly fewer impact fees. Most of that area is actually public land so theres not a significant amount of new development, new private develop. Thats forecasted there, but there has been one Significant Development there, the 1150 ocean avenue project where the new whole foods is and they built as part of their in kind agreement, they built an extension of this street here which will connect to the puc reservoir should it ever been developed in the future and they also have a pedestrian easement on another street through the project. Those are just a few of the highlights. Again, thats not everything thats in the plan. Next year we will expect to incorporate the Transit Center district plan as well as the western soma which is currently before the board and the intention there is to roll that into the overall eastern neighborhoods implementation process, not to treat it separately but to look at the impact fee revenue and the projects sort of simultaneously and then at the cac as well. Thank you, im happy to answer any questions. So i see no questions. Supervisor cohen. Thank you. A couple questions for you. Okay, on page 1 of the report it mentions the city having, mentions city discussions about evaluating other potential financing sources or Infrastructure Improvements in the eastern neighborhoods such as Infrastructure Finance districts. I was wondering if you can give me a status update on those discussions. Sure. So that was from a, i think it was 2009 or 2010, after the eastern neighborhoods was adopted there was, the impact fees, revenue are not expected to cover the full amount of improvements needed to serve growth, in fact about 30 percent in general, then you have a number of other existing sources such as bonds or state and federal grants, et cetera, but theres still a gap. So there was a group formed to study potential alternatives and one of their recommendations was public Infrastructure Finances. There was one created off rincon hill but that was sort of a pilot there. Weve been working with the mayors Budget Office and the Capital Planning committee and i actually invited brian strong, the Capital Planning director, but theres currently the Capital PlanningCommittee Meeting right now, so he would actually be able to tell you a little more. But what weve been working on is identifying the need and saying these are the opportunities or the sorry the needs for the Infrastructure Development based on the eastern neighborhood plans, based on the kind of streets and open streets and child care facilities and what not that are identified in the plans. So thats been sort of our role in the Planning Department and weve been hearing it a lot from the eastern neighborhood cac, as i imagine you might be as well. Yes. So we understand theres a need to fill this infrastructure gap. What weve been working with with the mayors Budget Office on is to put that in the plan so they can follow up on potential financing sources. Whether that is or not i cant really say but im glad to follow up. Thats a lot. Is what you just presented, is that housed in a document, in a memo. Theres nothing right now but the intention is to have it as part of the capital plan, as part of the hearings for the adoption of the capital plan there would be discussion on that. Whats the timeline on completing the Environmental Review on 22 fillmore . The extension. Right, that would really be a question that mta would be better to answer. But what we have in the report is we have money in fiscal year 14 and 15 and 17 that is intended to go towards those improvements, both the transit and the streetscape improvements on the 22. Back up, let me make sure i heard you correctly, fiscal year 14 and 15, 16 and 17. 13 and 14, 15 16 and 17. That was their best schedule at the time and im not sure if thats still their schedule or not. Thats it for me, mr. Chair. I just wanted to ask if the fee deferral implementation has had any positive impact on spuring projects and if you can give me your honest answer, mr. Barrett honestly, i have no idea. I think there was a hearing a while back about that. Im not sure if it ever happened. I cant actually remember, it was scheduled and may have been postponed. If you look at this slide you can see that where the sort of if you look at the column under fy15 and fy17, you have these spikes and a lot of that has to do with our projections with when we expect the developments to pay their fees. All of our spreadsheets assume a continuation of the Fee Deferral Program basically because thats just a more conservative assumption. Uhhuh. We do understand that its currently scheduled to sunset at the end of this fiscal year, i believe. So if that were the case a lot of the numbers here would actually shift forward, which doesnt necessarily mean that the project is going it happen sooner because big Capital Projects sort of have their own timelines, but the money would be enhanced. As for the impacts on development, i really couldnt say. And im excited about the glen park and Transit Center district plans moving forward. I know residents of the areas around the plants want immediate improvements but i know these are 20 year processes for Community Improvements but hopefully theres a good process so that people feel they have been heard as they develop priorities in each of these different areas. Thank you for all your hard work. We do try to have a mix of funds going, Major Projects as well as smaller projects that can be implemented near term or matching funds that are existing so its not all pushed up into the future. But youre right, it is a 20 year time hoer rise enso its not all going to be built right now. So i see no other questions. Lets open this up for Public Comment. Is there anyone from the public that would like to speak . I see no Public Comment. Public comment is closed. Colleagues, can we continue this to the call of the chair without objection . Thank you. And mr. Evans, is there any other business before us . That concludes todays business, mr. Chair. Great. Meeting adjourned. Thank you, everyone. meeting adjourned
