SEC. 433.1. PURPOSE AND FINDINGS.
(a) Purpose. New development in the Central SoMa Plan Area will increase the resident and employee populations, generating new demand for use of community-serving infrastructure
such as transit, complete streets, and recreation and open space. New revenues to fund investments in this infrastructure are necessary to maintain the existing level of service. This fee will
generate revenue that will be used to ensure an expansion in community-serving infrastructure in Central SoMa as new development occurs.
(b) Findings. The Board of Supervisors 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, pursuant to 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, and Transit Infrastructure Findings, and incorporates those by reference herein to
support the imposition of the fees under this Section.
