4 Market Street

5 History Then Transbay Terminal Opened 1939 Accommodated Rail from East Bay Usage Peaked at 26 Million Passengers Bus Only Since 1958

6 History Now Transbay Terminal Blighted Dilapidated Outdated In 1999, Proposition H is overwhelmingly adopted by San Francisco voters, which makes it City law to extend Caltrain to a new or rebuilt regional transit station on the site of the Transbay Terminal, and to pursue other improvements.

10 Planning Backdrop

11 Transbay Redevelopment Project Area

12 Redevelopment Plan Developed in conjunction with the FEIS/FEIR for the Transbay Program. Concept Plan published in Development controls adopted in Redevelopment revenue will help pay for the new Transbay Transit Center 100 % of land sale revenue 60% of tax increment revenue 20% of TI for affordable housing 20% of TI to other statutory pass-throughs

13 Transbay Redevelopment Area 3,450 new residential units, including 1,200 affordable units Approx. 350 units per acre highest residential density in SF. Mix of towers, mid-rises, and townhomes.

14 Transit Center District Plan Environmentally Responsible Land Use: Capitalize on new major transit investment with appropriate land use response in the downtown core Build on the Urban Design Element and Downtown Plan, analyze: Analyze the downtown form Identify opportunities and set guidelines and standards to build a high-quality public realm and provide public amenities Generate more revenue to support the complete Transbay Transit Center/Caltrain Extension project and other public benefits.

15 Planning Principles Maintain Downtown as the City s primary employment center: Regional hub of transit network Protection of neighborhoods Economic efficiency, creativity, diversity Support Regional Growth Objectives: Maintain San Francisco Share of Regional Job Growth Develop Employment around Transit

16 District Plan Sustainability Objectives Pursue district-level sustainability programs and objectives that require higher-level coordination and district-scale planning Support and were possible exceed existing City environmental, sustainability and climate change objectives

17 Proposed District Heat and Power System System Requirements: High Load Density Diversity of demand profiles

18 Proposed District Heat and Power System Goal: Take advantage of balanced dense mixed-use development in the Transit Center District and Transbay Redevelopment Area to create efficient shared district energy and heating system that captures and uses waste heat from generation and buildings. Draft Policies: Pursue a Combined Heat and Power (CHP) system for the plan area and the Transbay Redevelopment area. Require new buildings to be designed to plug into such a system. Find suitable sites for generation facilities in the district.

19 San Francisco Green Building Ordinance Adopted 2008 New Large Commercial Buildings LEED Certified in 2008 LEED Silver in 2009 LEED Gold in 2012 New High-Rise Residential Buildings LEED Certified in 2008 LEED Silver in 2010

20 District Plan LEED Proposal Goal: Ensure that major buildings are low-impact and high performance (with regards to energy, water, materials, construction) not accounting for the given inherent factors of location, density and existing city parking controls. Draft Policy: Require all major buildings in the Plan Area to achieve the minimum LEED levels established in the SF Green Building Ordinance without accounting for the given points based on location, density, and City parking standards.
