Capacity<br />

Estimate<br />

1 Estimate of current local land use policy<br />

new housing capacity<br />

16,846<br />

Figure based on 2012 soft site survey from City; identified 1,415<br />

underutilized sites summing to 221 acres (average under 7K SF<br />

sites) achieving average density of 76 DUs/acre; 2010 survey<br />

showed 2035 buildout would be just 10,400 more than 2010 existing<br />

units; 2007 Housing Element showed room for 9,545 RHNA units (all<br />

incomes) in PDA<br />

2 Plan Bay Area new housing allocation<br />

3 Capacity surplus or (shortfall) (10,293)<br />

27,139<br />

The increment of new housing allocated to the PDA in Plan Bay<br />

Area<br />

Difference between estimated housing capacity (2012) and allocation<br />

4 Estimated increased capacity through<br />

likely changes to land use policy,<br />

including any initiative-based density<br />

restrictions (percentage change to<br />

existing capacity)<br />

0% 25% 50%<br />

Plans for PDA include Downtown Plan (1980s), Van Ness Area Plan<br />

(1980s), Rincon Hill Plan (2005), Western SOMA (to be adopted<br />

2013), Chinatown, Civic Center, Northeast Waterfront Plan, Central<br />

Corridors Plan (to be done in next couple years, with potential<br />

upzoning). City has shown history of successful upzoning around<br />

Downtown (e.g. Rincon Hill and TCDP). EPS assumes some current<br />

soft sites will be redeveloped prior to future upzoning, while other<br />

sites will become "soft" when allowable densities are increased.<br />

Amendment assumes more aggressive upzoning.<br />

each period 16,846 21,058 25,269<br />

Sum of Capacity Constraint<br />

Coefficients<br />

Major growth requires redevelopment of existing uses on many very<br />

small lots. Near-term challenges include lack of environmental<br />

clearance for larger projects and social conditions in Tenderloin and<br />

Mid-Market areas. Longer-term challenge includes need for major<br />

circulation improvements to facilitate growth, though values can<br />

support substantial costs.<br />

7<br />

EPS estimate of housing production<br />

given constraints<br />

9,265 16,846 21,479<br />

Pace of development likely to slow over time as most sites are<br />

physically challenging and easiest sites will be developed first.<br />

8<br />

Percentage of PDA 2040 housing<br />

allocation accommodated<br />

34.1% 62.1% 79.1%<br />

Market is very strong but physical capacity of sites individually and in<br />

aggregate represents a significant constraint on development.<br />

Amendment assumes more aggressive upzoning, regional funding<br />

for transportation and other infrastructure, and restoration of<br />

Redevelopment-type powers to assist with parcel assembly.<br />
