8 9 WE STICK Real change doesn’t happen MARKET AND OCTAVIA NEIGHBORHOOD PLAN overnight — it can take years and even More than 10 years in the making, San Francisco’s Market and decades. SPUR stays with issues across Octavia Neighborhood Plan proposed putting taller buildings on Market Street while preserving the residential fabric in mayoral terms and business cycles. As nearby neighborhoods. The recession stalled these plans, but a 105-year-old organization, we’re here a crop of carefully selected buildings has finally begun taking WITH ISSUES shape on the sites of former parking lots and gas stations, for the long run. all within walking distance of Muni metro and BART. It was worth the wait.

TRANSBAY TRANSIT CENTER OVER THE It took decades of advocacy and planning, but today we are watching San Francisco’s new Transbay Transit Center rise from the ground. The transit center will support a new high-rise district and will ultimately connect San Francisco to Silicon Valley with an electrified Caltrain line. This project is LONG TERM not done yet, but we are committed to seeing it through.

10 11 WE ENGAGE The urban conversation is taking place at GETTING SILICON VALLEY MOVING SPUR. With more than 200 public events Members flocked to more than a dozen transportation events each year, an award-winning magazine at our San Jose office this year. Timely conversations on the hotly anticipated arrival of BART and bus rapid transit in San and countless other resources, we foster Jose packed the building and reasserted the importance of a PEOPLE IN public dialogue about the future of cities. multi-modal transportation network across Silicon Valley.

The show enjoyed our highest-ever THE LIFE OF attendance, as well as media coverage from around the world. THEIR CITY

12 13 COMMUNITY PLANNING

BUILD GREAT NEIGHBORHOODS

SPUR REPORT The Case for Urban Design in San Jose SPUR published its first San Jose policy report,Getting to Great Places: How Better Urban Design Can Strengthen San Jose’s Future. Working closely with local leaders, we asked the question: How do we retool a car-oriented built environment for a more walkable urban future? Our report identified the key attributes of walkable places and demonstrated the critical importance of urban design to the economy, the environment and public health. It also made hard-hitting recommendations about urban village plans, the city’s project review process, planning and zoning codes, the public works code and street management. spur.org/greatplaces

Building Out San Francisco’s Neighborhood Plans Between 2005 and 2013, San Francisco completed 11 neighborhood plans, working with community stakeholders to guide growth and future improvements in specific areas of the city. This was the main focus of SPUR’s planning work all through those years. Today we are watching the results bear fruit: More than 70 percent of the housing units now under construction are in those plan areas. We believe the careful, nuanced neighborhood planning process that San Francisco uses is the right way to guide growth in the city and benefit 14 the community. 15 SPUR REPORT Making SF’s Historic Preservation Process Work for Everyone SPUR worked with San Francisco Architectural Heritage to release a major report, Historic Preservation in San Francisco: Making the Process Work for Everyone. In this joint policy report, Heritage and SPUR examined the city’s processes for preservation planning, project review and decision-making. Together we recommended improvements to the planning department’s processes for conducting historic surveys, creating historic districts and reviewing proposed changes to historical resources. We presented this work to the Historic Preservation Commission, and we will continue to work with Heritage to ensure that our recommendations are adopted. spur.org/historicpreservation

SPUR REPORT The Future of Downtown San Jose Downtown San Jose is the center of the Bay Area’s largest city and the most urban place in the South Bay. It is slated to be the region’s first stop on high-speed rail and a major connection to the East Bay when BART completes its extension to Silicon Valley. Yet despite considerable investment, downtown still lacks people. To help this urban center realize its potential, we produced a long-range strategy for downtown, The Future of Downtown San Jose. We identified six ideas for improvements, including better land use, urban design, pedestrian orientation and opportunities to activate the streets with events. The report received significant media coverage, including front-page attention in the San Jose Mercury News and a segment on KQED’s Forum that was dedicated to its 16 findings. spur.org/downtownsanjose 17 DISASTER PLANNING

MAKE OUR BIG WIN San Francisco Votes to Strengthen Emergency Response In June, voters overwhelmingly approved Prop. A, a CITIES RESILIENT general obligation bond to finance repairs to deteriorating emergency facilities throughout San Francisco. The bond will fund improvements to neighborhood firehouses and the IN A MAJOR city’s emergency water system — as well as the relocation of important police functions to new, seismically secure facilities — through the Earthquake Safety and Emergency Response program. This was the second phase of a three- EARTHQUAKE part capital plan designed to fund repairs that will allow the city to respond quickly and effectively after a major earthquake or other disaster. SPUR called for the creation of the capital plan and is pleased that San Francisco can now secure its capacity for emergency response in times of critical need.

Resilience at Home and Abroad Since 2007, SPUR’s Resilient City initiative has published seven major reports defining what San Francisco needs to do to become resilient in a major earthquake. The city now considers resilience in its 10-year capital planning process, and it has created the nation’s first-ever Lifelines Council, as well as a Community Action Plan for Seismic Safety and an Earthquake Safety Implementation Program. SPUR members have presented the Resilient City framework, policies and recommendations in hundreds of lectures and discussions worldwide. Oregon and Washington have developed resiliency plans patterned after our work, and the National Research Council’s 2012 study Disaster Resilience: A National Imperative uses our concepts in many of its recommendations. The U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology is using SPUR’s concepts as the backbone of an all-hazards resilience framework that will eventually be used by communities to craft their own programs. Internationally, SPUR’s policies have informed recovery efforts in areas struck by major earthquakes, 18 such as Haiti, Chile, New Zealand and Japan. 19 Next Steps for Mandatory Earthquake Retrofits in SF In 2013, San Francisco passed a landmark law to strengthen seismically unsafe apartment buildings. SPUR has long advocated for this legislation as part of our Resilient City initiative, and we’re pleased to see it underway at last. The city is now evaluating all potential “soft story” buildings (those with garage doors or large windows on the ground floor) to determine whether they need to be retrofitted. This year, San Francisco opened the Epicenter, a pop-up collaborative space for earthquake policy research and development, and the city continues to move the Earthquake Safety Implementation Program forward. We are thrilled with the gigantic steps San Francisco has taken to become a more resilient city.

Securing Lifelines After a Disaster In spring 2014, the San Francisco Lifelines Council — a collaboration among all of the utility providers serving the city — released a study outlining steps the city needs to take to ensure that it can recover from a major earthquake. The study looked at the interdependencies among lifelines: for example, how road debris could hinder efforts to provide water and gas to residences or how damage to our electric system could interrupt telecommunications. The study also called for several next steps, including further study of “choke point” areas (where there are heavy concentrations of infrastructure), further coordination among utility providers in planning for the days and weeks following a disaster and greater collaboration in plans to strengthen lifelines before 20 the next earthquake happens. 21 ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

LAY THE FOUNDATIONS OF ECONOMIC PROSPERITY — FOR

EVERYONE SPUR REPORT Building Economic Prosperity for the Bay Area SPUR and a team of partners helped the Bay Area win a three- year, $5 million HUD Sustainable Communities Grant. A portion of the grant funded an Economic Prosperity Strategy for the region. The goal: improve economic opportunities for the more than 1.1 million workers who earn less than $18 per hour. SPUR’s partners in the project include the Center for the Continuing Study of the California Economy, Eisen Letunic, the San Mateo County Union Community Alliance and Working Partnerships USA. Together we developed three goals that are now being implemented through a series of pilot projects and $1 million in funding across the region. spur.org/economicprosperity

Strengthening Pathways to Middle-Wage Jobs Fundamental to improving economic opportunity is getting workers on a pathway to better jobs. Our Economic Prosperity Strategy recommended improving basic skills, establishing partnerships with employers to develop job training and helping workers navigate an increasingly fluid job market. Through support from the HUD grant, SPUR’s partners are implementing these ideas in health care, tech support and 22 construction. 23 Growing the Economy, With a Focus on the Middle There are fewer jobs in the middle than at the top and bottom of the pay scale. Growing opportunities in the middle means increasing housing construction and infrastructure investment, as well as expanding industries like education services and manufacturing. SPUR supported the implementation of Plan Bay Area and local and regional economic development strategies, all of which worked to address these issues.

Upgrading Conditions in Lower-Wage Jobs Because not everyone can move up to middle-wage jobs, SPUR explored strategies that could improve the conditions for workers who remain in lower-wage jobs. Among other efforts, SPUR supported the successful minimum wage increase on San Francisco’s November ballot, which will raise the local 24 minimum wage to $15 by 2018. 25 GOOD GOVERNMENT

SUPPORT LOCAL GOVERNMENT

San Francisco’s City Budget: Healthier Than Ever The last year has seen San Francisco’s budget fully rebound from recession cutbacks to a new record high of nearly $8 billion. This increase in the city’s resources is driven by the growth of jobs in the central city — the urban future of work that SPUR has identified and advocated. In the last year, San Francisco added more jobs than any other large county in the United States. The 2012 business tax reform measure, which took effect this year, has helped to ensure that a more fair and representative mix of businesses are contributing to the city’s General Fund.

SPUR Ballot Analysis and Voter Guide SPUR’s seasoned Ballot Analysis Committee and Board of Directors deliberated all local measures on San Francisco’s June and November ballots. The SPUR Voter Guide provided comprehensive analysis of each measure, including pro and con arguments for each side and a SPUR recommended position. This year we also took our first ballot position in San Jose, recommending support of Santa Clara County Measure Q, a parcel tax to generate local funding for open space. On this initiative and the majority in San Francisco, voters supported our recommendations and approved big wins for transit, open 26 space and higher minimum wages. spur.org/voterguide 27 Honoring Great Public Sector Leadership SPUR’s annual Good Government Awards ceremony celebrates exemplary leadership by managers who serve the City and County of San Francisco. These outstanding employees were honored for their service at our annual City Hall event, which has come to be known as the Oscars for public servants. The 2014 award honored Douglas Legg of the Department of Public Works; Zoon Nguyen of the Office of the Assessor-Recorder; Lisa Wayne of the Recreation and Parks Department; the Office of the Public Defender’s Legal Educational Advocacy Program (LEAP) Team; and the Public Utilities Commission’s Rim Fire Emergency Response Team.

Forecasting SF’s Economic Fortunes Each year, SPUR’s Municipal Fiscal Advisory Committee brings together top experts on the economy to discuss trends that will affect the budget of the City and County of San Francisco. This expertise on real estate, hospitality, retail and other sectors helps the city staff develop revenue projections for the upcoming fiscal year. The news this year was mostly positive: San Francisco’s thriving, exporting tech industry is driving growth across the rest of the local economy, increasing revenue for the city and providing funds for investment in improved services and enhanced infrastructure. SPUR is working to ensure that the city makes investments that are vital inputs for 28 broadening and sustaining the region’s prosperity. 29 HOUSING

MAKE IT SPUR REPORT 8 Ways to Make San Francisco More Affordable AFFORDABLE TO It’s no secret that San Francisco, and most of the Bay Area, is in the midst of a terrible housing affordability crisis. SPUR worked more on this issue than on anything else over the past LIVE HERE year. We sought to get beyond the debates that have hobbled the city’s efforts for too long: Build affordable or market-rate housing? Our answer: Do both. While pundits around the world debated the cause of San Francisco’s housing affordability crisis, we focused on practical solutions, releasing a major plan, 8 Ways to Make San Francisco More Affordable, aspects of which were echoed by Mayor Ed Lee in his 2014 State of the City address and became the subsequent focus of the Mayor’s Housing Working Group. From protecting rent- controlled units to building both market-rate and permanently affordable housing to launching a wave of experiments for how to produce middle-income homes, SPUR’s ambitious plan advocated to add housing at all income levels. spur.org/ makesfaffordable

Reforming SF’s Housing Approval Process In response to San Francisco’s housing affordability crisis, Mayor Lee formed a Housing Working Group to investigate ways to produce more new housing and protect existing housing. Some recommendations were immediately put in place. The Planning Department now prioritizes affordable housing projects in the pipeline and has improved coordination among city departments and transparency in the permitting process. Additional fixes to the process are in the works, including code improvements that will address standard exceptions and eliminate duplicate reviews, in addition to allowing more efficient environmental review when appropriate. SPUR has long advocated for these kinds of process improvements and supports these targeted, thoughtful efforts to make the approvals process more efficient so the city 30 can build more housing. 31 SPUR REPORT BIG WIN Re-Envisioning Public Housing A New Source of Housing — Legal In-Law Units 2013 was the year that San Francisco began to tackle its public A decades-long debate on legalizing secondary or “in-law” housing crisis. The San Francisco Housing Authority (SFHA) owns housing units in San Francisco finally ended this year when the and manages 6,300 public housing units and administers roughly Board of Supervisors adopted legislation that sets up a process 9,000 Section 8 vouchers throughout the city, representing a to make existing secondary units legal.

Allowing agency does not have nearly enough funding to meet its capital homeowners to add secondary rental units to their property needs. A recent SFHA presentation estimated the cost of current is one of the most promising strategies we have for increasing unfunded capital needs at more than $270 million and funding the supply of housing in San Francisco without significantly at only $10 million. In response to this crisis, SPUR released changing the character of its neighborhoods. SPUR has been a Re-Envisioning the San Francisco Housing Authority, a report that long-time advocate for secondary units and hopes the Castro details how to offer high-quality affordable housing to public legislation serves as a successful pilot for other districts. housing residents in a way that is financially sustainable over the 32 long term. spur.org/housingauthority 33 REGIONAL PLANNING

CONCENTRATE GROWTH INSIDE EXISTING CITIES

Putting Plan Bay Area Into Practice In 2013, the Bay Area adopted its first Sustainable Communities Strategy, a state-mandated plan to fight climate change through land use plans that would reduce driving. This year the focus shifted to implementation. At a high level, Plan Bay Area provides a framework laying out where jobs and housing should go in order to reduce our dependence on driving. It also aligns transportation investments to support these goals. But to make this vision happen requires getting our hands dirty with planning, zoning and projects at the city and neighborhood level, all across the Bay Area. SPUR helped shape what was in the plan, and we continue to promote its core concepts. We are also applying the lessons we’ve learned from decades of planning work to make sure the region’s major 34 cities accommodate their share of growth. 35 Diridon Station: Shaping a Major Opportunity Near Transit One of the best places to concentrate growth in the Bay Area is around major regional transit hubs. San Jose’s Diridon Station already provides significant transit service, including Caltrain, Amtrak, Capitol Corridor, the Altamont Corridor Express, VTA and other lines. With plans for BART and California High- Speed Rail, Diridon will become an even more important node. But it needs more development to match the high level of transit service. This year, San Jose’s City Council unanimously approved the Diridon Station Area Plan, which calls for almost 5 million square feet of office space, 2,600 units of housing and 420,000 square feet of retail. It focuses dense mixed-use growth in a transit-rich infill location and includes much- needed improvements to the pedestrian and bicycle network. SPUR advocated for the plan and will work hard to ensure that the project development and transit infrastructure build on this strong foundation.

SPUR REPORT Strengthening the Regional Food System The Bay Area’s food system supports our greenbelt, employs hundreds of thousands of people and helps reduce our greenhouse gas emissions. The food choices we make at grocery stores and farmers’ markets have an enormous impact on the region. Our report Locally Nourished recommended a series of policies that would help us capture more benefits from our food system. Our proposals emphasized the importance of preserving agricultural land as part of a greenbelt strategy, the economic development potential of the food industry, and ways the region could reduce its carbon footprint by diverting more food waste from landfills. 36 spur.org/locallynourished 37 SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

REDUCE OUR ECOLOGICAL FOOTPRINT AND PREPARE FOR CLIMATE CHANGE

SPUR + Dutch Water Engineers = Sea Level Rise Strategy This year SPUR began work with the Dutch engineering firm ARCADIS, the Port of San Francisco, the Bay Conservation and Development Commission and many other partners on a major climate adaptation study. The focus is Mission Creek, a site vulnerable to flooding as one of San Francisco’s lowest-lying areas. Building on our years of work on climate adaptation and the Dutch government’s decades of experience with progressive water-management strategies, we are developing the toolkit of options we will need to protect San Francisco and other coastal cities. This project marks SPUR’s first international partnership and follows the Ocean Beach Master Plan in convening and engaging many entities in planning for 38 sea level rise. 39 SPUR REPORT A Green-Roof Road Map for San Francisco The hard, gray, uninteresting rooftops that cover 30 percent of San Francisco’s land area could be doing more for the city and the environment. But more productive and sustainable uses of rooftops — solar panels, wind turbines, green stormwater infrastructure, urban agriculture, open space and natural habitat — are often more expensive to install and maintain. We convened a task force to identify what can be done to support the development and broader implementation of green roofs in San Francisco. In developing this policy road map, we brought together green-roof advocates, building experts and city regulators to create a unified vision for how the city can best move forward. spur.org/greenroofs

Adapting to Climate Change at Ocean Beach This year we launched three projects to implement the recommendations in our award-winning Ocean Beach Master Plan. The Ocean Beach Coastal Management Framework Team worked with the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission on a package of short-term measures to protect Ocean Beach while longer-term plans are in development. The Ocean Beach Transportation Study modeled changes to the traffic system that will be required in order to close the Great Highway south of Sloat Boulevard and replace it with a coastal trail. Meanwhile, our design team developed coastal access improvements for the area south of Sloat that are designed to adapt to a receding coastline. These projects put SPUR and its partners at the leading edge of coastal adaptation planning.

Providing Incentives for Urban Farms SPUR was instrumental in building grassroots support and advocating for the Urban Agriculture Incentive Zones Act (A.B. 551). The state bill, which passed with bipartisan majorities, aims to increase land access and land security for urban farming projects by allowing local governments to offer private landowners a property tax reduction if they commit their land to urban agriculture use for at least five years. SPUR helped develop the legislation, provided testimony and coordinated the support of more than 25 organizations statewide. We are now 40 working to translate the legislation into action at the local level. 41 TRANSPORTATION

GIVE PEOPLE BETTER WAYS TO GET WHERE THEY NEED TO GO

BIG WIN Getting Muni the Funding It Needs In his State of the City speech at the start of 2013, San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee made an important announcement: Fixing Muni was going to be a major area of focus for the next two years, and Gabriel Metcalf, SPUR’s executive director, would co-chair a task force on how to do it. Working with co-chair Monique Zmuda from the San Francisco Controller’s Office, SPUR helped facilitate a series of key discussions that explored all aspects of San Francisco’s transportation system, from pedestrian safety to Muni’s speed and reliability. The task force presented a visionary set of plans for a comprehensive capital reinvestment in the city’s transportation system, to be funded by general obligation bonds, sales tax dollars and a vehicle license fee. In November, voters approved the first of these, Prop. A, authorizing $500 million in bonds to improve Muni and city streets. These funds represent the first general obligation bonds for Muni and the largest investment in the 42 city’s transportation infrastructure ever passed by voters. 43 SPUR REPORT Better Transportation Choices for Silicon Valley To succeed, a transportation system needs to give travelers the right range of choices for how to get around. But in suburban areas that grew up around the car, destinations are too far apart and land uses are not dense enough for transit, biking and walking to be effective. Meanwhile, driving is reaching its limits as a reasonable solution. As traffic worsens in Silicon Valley, it’s stalling economic growth, social equity and quality of life. SPUR took a look at how to get the South Bay, its people and its economy moving in a more sustainable way. Our report Freedom to Move offered seven strategies that VTA, the county and its cities can use to expand their range of transportation choices. SPUR’s recommendations are informing VTA’s strategic planning process for a possible 2016 sales tax measure and the planning of future transit investments such as BART Silicon Valley Phase II. spur.org/vta
