MARKET AND OCTAVIA COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENTS FUND. Sections 421.1 through 421.7, hereafter referred to as Section 421.1 et seq., set forth the requirements and procedures for the Market and Octavia Community Improvements Fund. The effective date of these requirements shall be either April 3, 2008, the date that the requirements originally became effective, or the date a subsequent modification, if any, became effective. (Added by Ord. 108-10, File No. 091275, App. 5/25/2010) SEC. 421.1. PURPOSE AND FINDINGS SUPPORTING THE MARKET AND OCTAVIA COMMUNITY IMPROVEMENTS FUND. (a) Purpose. The Board takes legislative notice of the purpose of the Market and Octavia Area Plan ("Area Plan") as articulated in the Market and Octavia Area Plan of the San Francisco General Plan. In general, the Market and Octavia Area Plan embodies the community's vision of a better neighborhood, which achieves multiple objectives including creating a healthy, vibrant transit-oriented neighborhood. The Market and Octavia Plan Area encompasses a variety of districts, most of which are primarily residential or neighborhood commercial. The Area Plan calls for a maintenance of the well-established neighborhood character in these districts with a shift to a more transit-oriented type of districts. A transit-oriented district, be it neighborhood commercial or residential in character, generates a unique type of infrastructure needs. The overall objective of the Market and Octavia planning effort is to encourage balanced growth in a centrally located section of the City that is ideal for transit oriented development. The Area Plan calls for an increase in housing and retail capacity simultaneous to infrastructure improvements in an effort to maintain and strengthen neighborhood character. In addition, the Board notes the findings made in the Market and Octavia Area Plan that support the establishment of the Market and Octavia Community Improvements Fund. For example, new construction should not diminish the City's open space, jeopardize the City's Transit First Policy, or place undue burden on the City's service systems. The new residential and non- residential construction should preserve the existing neighborhood services and character, as well as increase the level of service for all modes necessary to support transit-oriented development. New development in the area will create additional impact on the local infrastructure, thus generating a substantial need for community improvements as the district's population and workforce grows. The purpose of the proposed Market and Octavia Community Infrastructure Impact Fees is to provide specific public improvements, including community open spaces, pedestrian and streetscape improvements and other facilities and services. These improvements are described in the Market and Octavia Area Plan and Neighborhood Plan and the accompanying ordinances, and are necessary to meet established City standards for the provision of such facilities. The Market and Octavia Community Improvements Fund and Community Infrastructure Impact Fee will create the necessary financial mechanism to fund these improvements in proportion to the need generated by new development. (b) Findings. The Board of Supervisors has reviewed the San Francisco Citywide Nexus Analysis (“Nexus Analysis”), and the San Francisco Infrastructure Level of Service Analysis, both on file with the Clerk of the Board in File No. 230764 and, under Section 401A, adopts the findings and conclusions of those studies and the general and specific findings in that Section, specifically including the Recreation and Open Space Findings, Complete Streets Findings, Childcare Findings, and Transit Infrastructure Findings, and incorporates those by reference herein to support the imposition of the fees under this Section.
