Downtown Plan Annual Monitoring Report 2014
Staff Contact: Paolo Ikezoe, Planner, paolo.ikezoe@sfgov.org.

Today, SF Planning published the Downtown Plan Annual Monitoring Report 2014.It summarizes business and development trends affecting downtown San Francisco as required by SF Administrative Code, Chapter 10E, and reviews data for 2008 through 2014. It notes changes in the amount of commercial space, employment, housing production, parking supply, collection and use of fees and other revenues relative to the objectives of the Downtown Plan and mandated monitoring requirements.

The 2008-2014 reporting period covers several turbulent years for the city and region, and includes both the depths of the 2008 global financial crisis and ensuing recession as well as the current recovery which has brought the highest levels of employment in the city’s history. Downtown San Francisco continues to be a resilient district for the city and the region in 2014, largely thanks to Downtown Plan polices. Adopted in 1985, these policies have enhanced Downtown San Francisco’s physical qualities and strengthened its position as a regional commercial center.
