Building Out San Francisco’s Neighborhood
Between 2005 and 2013, San Francisco completed
11 neighborhood plans, working with community sta
to guide growth and future improvements in specifi
the city. This was the main focus of SPUR’s planning
through those years. Today we are watching the res
fruit: More than 70 percent of the housing units now
construction are in those plan areas. We believe the
nuanced neighborhood planning process that San F
uses is the right way to guide growth in the city and
the community.

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 thecity — 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
the next earthquake happens.

the city’s efforts for too long: Build affordable or m

debated the cause of San Francisco’s housing afford
crisis, we focused on practical solutions, releasing a
plan, 8 Ways to Make San Francisco More Affordable
of which were echoed by Mayor Ed Lee in his 2014 S

A New Source of Housing — Legal In-Law Units
A decades-long debate on legalizing secondary or “in-law”
housing units in San Francisco finally ended this year when theBoard of Supervisors adopted legislation that sets up a process
to make existing secondary units legal. Secondary units got a
further boost from another piece of legislation that permitted
new secondary units within the Castro neighborhood. Allowing
homeowners to add secondary rental units to their property
is one of the most promising strategies we have for increasing
the supply of housing in San Francisco without significantly
changing the character of its neighborhoods. SPUR has been a
long-time advocate for secondary units and hopes the Castro
legislation serves as a successful pilot for other districts.
PUR REPORT
e-Envisioning Public Housing
013 was the year that San Francisco began to tackle its public
ousing crisis. The San Francisco Housing Authority (SFHA) ownsnd manages 6,300 public housing units and administers roughly
000 Section 8 vouchers throughout the city, representing a
itical part of San Francisco’s affordable housing delivery system.
ut the SFHA suffers from a structural operating deficit, and the
gency does not have nearly enough funding to meet its capital
eeds. A recent SFHA presentation estimated the cost of current
nfunded capital needs at more than $270 million and funding
only $10 million. In response to this crisis, SPUR released
e-Envisioning the San Francisco Housing Authority , a report that
etails how to offer high-quality affordable housing to public
ousing residents in a way that is financially sustainable over the

A Muni Rapid Network Takes Shape
San Francisco’s Transit First policy, adopted in 1973, began
a new era this year. The final approval of environmental
review for Muni’s Transit Effectiveness Program gives the
San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) the
green light to develop its planned rapid network, brandedas Muni Forward. This set of transit network changes and
on-the-ground improvements will speed travel by 20 percent
for 80 percent of Muni trips. Red bus-only lanes, new traffic
signals and more accessible boarding are appearing all over
San Francisco. The Transit Effectiveness Program is the result
of the first major evaluation of Muni in 30 years, initiated in
2006 and sparked by SPUR research. SFMTA collected an d
analyzed extensive data, which included market research on
customer preferences and priorities, changing travel patterns,
and route-by-route Muni ridership data. Muni Forward is
already reducing trip times, lowering operating costs and
making Transit First a reality.

RESEARCH AND ADVOCACY
In our first San Jose policy reports, we:
• Explored the power of urban design to retool
environments built for the car. Getting to Great Places
diagnosed the impediments San Jose faces in creating
excellent, walkable urban places and recommended
strategies for building a more sustainable future.
• Identified six big ideas for how downtown San Jose
could capture a greater share of activity and investment.The Future of Downtown San Jose put forth a set
of recommendations, from land use and mobility
opportunities to the use of public spaces.
• Recommended new ways for the Santa Clara Valley
Transportation Authority to build a great transportation
network. Freedom to Move offered seven strategies for
better transit, cycling and walking.
• Proposed a bold vision for land use planning at San

BART Station outlined six ways to make this a
memorable, walkable place in its own right.

This year we:
• Championed the successful passage of the D
Station Area Plan, a critical opportunity to bu
and housing near a major transit hub.
• Worked to support the existing North Sa n Jo
Design Guidelines through committee meetin
charrettes with city leaders and stakeholders
• Advocated for transit improvements, such as efficiency, bus rapid transit, the electrification
Caltrain system and BART to Silicon Valley.
• Convened the Urban Catalyst Team, a group
downtown business, civic and government le
expand the dialogue on downtown revitalizat
• Provided expertise and feedback of draft Urb
plans and processes.
When we first began working in San Jose in 2012, interest in
our initiatives and demand for our programs quickly made itclear that our growing membership would need a permanent
home. In response, we opened the SPUR San Jose Urban
Center, a place for the San Jose community to come together
around urban issues and engage with the future of the city.
Our downtown storefront location has allowed us to expand
our events calendar, develop more original programming and
inaugurate exhibitions.

8/19/2019 SPUR 2015 Annual Report
25/35
We are living through a time of remarkable change. The Bay
Area continues to generate ideas, companies and jobs — but
this transformative growth is putting enormous strains on our
urban systems.
America is in love with cities again. But here in the
walkable, urban parts of the Bay Area, the combination of
our economic strength and our high quality of life is leading
to astronomically high housing costs and overburdened
transportation systems.
We have spent the past year trying to navigate these
strains while keeping an eye on our long-term agenda of
sustainable, equitable urbanism. We continue to believe that
the job-creation engine of the Bay Area economy is a good
thing. The problem lies in our failed housing policies and our
under-funded transit systems.
Our job is to provide solutions to urban problems, and we’ve helped
make progress on some absolutely critical issues this year, from raising San
Francisco’s minimum wage to passing a $500 million transportation bond.
We have deepened our region-wide work on climate change and economic
development. And we have set forth an urban agenda for San Jose, where we
are piloting a new set of transportation, land use and urban design solutions.
On the core issue of housing affordability, however, we have had only
partial success at best. SPUR has advocated for a clear approach that
increases affordable, subsidized housing while also adding to the overall
housing supply at all income levels. If this were easy to accomplish, it would
be done by now. It’s going to take a long time and a lot of work, but we willstay with this issue for as long as i t takes.
We live in one of the greatest places on the earth, and the problems we
face come with the territory. Thank you for investing in our work to promote
ideas and action for a better city.

In your opinion, what’s the biggest challenge
facing the Bay Area right now? Learning to
think, plan and act as a megaregion. We all drink
the same water, breathe the same air, travel
the same highways, enjoy the same natural
amenities and compete for the same jobs and
housing. In this growth cycle more than the
last, the world is increasingly more mobile, and
overbuilding could really hurt this place.
If you could wave a magic urbanism wand
and have one long-term project completed
tomorrow, what would it be? Putting policies in
place for adaptation to sea level rise. We need
to set priorities in protecting existing urban
areas and implement technologies vital for
future sustainable development in places like
this around the world.
What’s a recent innovation or project that
makes you excited about the future of cities?
Increasing awareness of the need to evaluate,
plan for and implement projects to improve
urban resiliency to major disasters. For
example, the UN Disaster Resilience Scorecard
initiative and The Rockefeller Foundation’s 100
Resilient Cities Challenge.
What SPUR initiative are you most passionate
about? SPUR’s increased regional leadership
and expansion to San Jose and Oakland
to address integrated planning, smart
development, growth, transportation needs,
affordable housing and energy and resource
demands from a comprehensive Bay Area
perspective.
What’s your best-kept local secret? There is a
lot less fog in the Inner Richmond District than
everyone thinks. And Golden Gate Park at the
site of the museums is among the most civic
places in the city.

Samuel Lloyd Scarlett, M.D.
This year SPUR received a generous bequest made by Florence McCormack Scarlett and
Samuel Lloyd Scarlett, M.D. A loyal donor to SPUR, Samuel passed away in November of 2011
at the age of 96. He and Florence, who died in 2001, were married for 57 years. A graduate
of Stanford University and Medical School, Samuel was chief assistant surgeon and clinical
professor at St. Bartholomew’s Hospital and Medical School in London, England, and served
on the USS New Jersey as a junior medical officer during the war in the Pacific. He practiced
internal medicine and immunology in San Francisco for 41 years.
We are grateful to Samuel and Florence Scarlett and to everyone who remembers SPUR
through a planned gift. Their support strengthens and ensures the future of our organization
and the Bay Area.

In your opinion, what’s the biggest challenge
facing the Bay Area right now? The drought
and the long-term water supply, without which
the region will not be sustainable. It’s difficult
to focus on long-term issues when people are
trying to get by day to day, but this drought is
a reminder of the critical need for investment in
water infrastructure.
If you could wave a magic urbanism wand
and have one long-term project completed
tomorrow, what would it be? BART to San
Jose. Traffic is becoming untenable again,
which inhibits people’s movement and quality
of life and requires Bay Area commuters to rely
on, and spend far too much on, cars.
Wha’s a recent innovation or project that
makes you excited about the future of cities?
San Jose’s Urban Villages Plan is a reminder
that we can all live more simply and compactly.
My husband and I are selling our ranch style
home on a big lot and buying a townhouse.
It’s time to downscale so we can live the urban
lifestyle we like.
What SPUR initiative are you mos
about? Good government. As a (re
public employee, I am repeatedly s
smart and talented our staff mem
how hard they work to provide ser
very much behind the scenes. Part
special district, our efforts can be
I’m proud of my agency and hope
others to believe in the institutions
serving the public.
What’s your best-kept local secre
Park. It’s my favorite place. As a fo
trail runner, I have had some very
experiences there.
