Implementing our Community Plans
Over the past several years, the Planning Department, in collaboration with community stakeholders, has developed and adopted several Area Plans to guide neighborhood growth and change, and imagine community improvements and programs 20 years into the future. As the Area Plan neighborhoods gain new residents and workers, there is an accompanying need for improved public infrastructure and amenities, such as parks, street improvements, transit and child care centers.

- Planning Code Article 4 – Development Impact Fees

Citywide Nexus Study
The Citywide Nexus study presents the nexus analysis findings of new growth’s connection (nexus) to facilities for recreation and open space, childcare, streetscape and pedestrian infrastructure, and bicycle infrastructure.

Impact fee revenue has contributed to a wide variety of projects of different types and scales, while playing different funding roles for those projects.
They include funding major portions of new parks, such as:
- Guy Place Park (Rincon Hill), and
- In Chan Kaajal Park (Mission)
Along with major park renovations, such as:
- South Park (SoMa), and
- Margaret Hayward Park (Market Octavia)
It has contributed to smaller ongoing community-based projects through:
- the Living Alleys Program (Market Octavia), and
- the Eastern Neighborhoods Community Challenge Grants (Eastern Neighborhoods)
It has funded new buses and light rail vehicles and contributed to street improvements for bicyclists, transit and pedestrians:
- Upper Market Improvements (Market Octavia)
- 16th Street Improvements (Showplace Square and Mission), and
- 2nd Street (SoMa)
The revenue has gone to ongoing funding for child care centers in the Eastern Neighborhoods, SoMa, and Market Octavia. So far, the City has raised about $300M in impact fee revenue and expects to raise about $400M over the next ten years.
IPIC publishes a report each year to highlight and document ongoing progress in delivering community improvements as called out in the respective Area Plans (see Monitoring Plan Success tab).
The following reports provide snapshots of the success of certain Area Plans, assessing development patterns, impact fee projections, and capital projects.
