1{ EXECUTIVE SUMMARY }

The Upper Yard is a 1.7 acre site at the corner of Geneva and San Jose Avenues in San Francisco’s

Excelsior neighborhood. The site is currently used for employee parking by the San Francisco

Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) and passenger loading by Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART).

The site is rich in advantages: it sits directly above BART’s Balboa Park station, as well as within close

proximity to several SFMTA bus and rail lines; it is located within walking distance of City College

of San Francisco’s Ocean Campus; and it is well served by amenities like public parks and schools.

Despite these advantages, the site is part of a cluster of under utilized parcels surrounding the Balboa

Park station, and the area feels distant from amenities and services that are actually at its doorstep.

This context makes it an ideal location for an urban infill development that will help to activate the

area’s streets and stitch neighborhoods back together.

Golden Bear Partners has teamed up with Bernal Heights Neighborhood Center to develop a proposal

for the site, named The Upper Yard to maintain the connection with the site’s history and character

as a hub of transportation in southern San Francisco. The development will consist of 125 units,

with 108 of those dedicated to families and singles making under 50% of the area median income

(AMI) (plus a unit for the building manager). Sixteen of the units will be set aside for transitional age

youth, specifically focusing on those who are emancipated from the foster care system. These youth

will be provided with several supportive services, through a partnership with Larkin Street Youth

Services. The proposal also calls for a neighborhood clinic on the ground floor, which will provide a

much needed amenity to the un- and under-insured in the area. This clinic will be run by the Mission

Neighborhood Health Center (MHNC), which is seeking to establish a stronger presence in the

Excelsior.

The Upper Yard provides needed housing in a location defined by its transit connections while meeting

the following goals:

• Maintainingaffordability: The Excelsior neighborhood is one of San Francisco’s last bastions for

working-class and immigrant families. As the economy continues to drive up demand for housing

and wealthier households migrate south, these residents will be particularly vulnerable to the

displacement already seen elsewhere in the city. In order to maintain access to the city, adding to

the Excelsior’s stock of affordable housing units will be essential.

• Strengtheningthecommunity: Several community organizations have called for development

on the Upper Yard, in order to activate what is currently a barren stretch of Geneva Avenue. By

including ground floor uses, The Upper Yard will help activate this critical gateway to the Excelsior,

and create stronger community connections between City College, Ocean Avenue, and the

residences to the east. Additionally, the clinic will provide a much-needed expanded and updated

facility to the community, with a special focus on the immigrant families who live nearby. It will also

provide our partners, MHNC, with a modernized facility to help attract talented staff to the mission

of providing health care to vulnerable patients.

• Empoweringresidents: Residents of The Upper Yard will be provided with access to efficient

transportation to job centers, resident-specific services that provide financial planning and career

assistance, and affordable health care. In particular, the transitional age youth will be able to

access City College’s Guardian Scholars program, which focuses specifically on post-secondary

opportunities for emancipated youth.

• Embracingsustainableliving: The Upper Yard will be built to high standards of sustainable

design, and will include construction approaches that maximize the use of recycled materials.

The Upper Yard also offers an unparalleled opportunity for transit-oriented development, allowing

both residents and clinic patients to easily use public transportation for mobility rather than private

autos. To that end, the project will include only a small amount of unbundled parking, and will

emphasize carsharing and transit as transportation options.

• Capitalizingoninfillopportunities: Challenging locations are a common issue with infill locations,

and in this case, the Upper Yard will be located next to BART and freeway infrastructure that

present unique issues. These issues are addressed through innovative design, and we intend to

have the Upper Yard serve as a case study in tackling these obstacles.

Finally, given the current fiscal environment, we have sought to minimize the local funding burden,

and are seeking out alternatives at the federal level, as well as containing costs through innovative

construction. We are also using a unique joint venture with MHNC to have our non-residential space be

completely self-financing, and tapping additional revenue through leasing our parking.

We are confident that our proposed Upper Yard development will provide the Excelsior neighborhood

with sorely needed community benefits: affordable housing for families, supportive housing for

transitional youth, and community health facilities at a location with excellent access to the services of

City College and ample public transportation options.

{ SITE CONTEXT } 31 | SITE CONTEXT

The Upper Yard site is located at the southwest

corner of Geneva Avenue and San Jose Avenue

in San Francisco (2300 San Jose Avenue, San

Francisco, CA 94112). The site enjoys numerous

nearby amenities, including a vibrant commercial

district, access to public transportation, one

of the top junior colleges in the nation, and

several public schools and parks. The Ocean

Avenue commercial corridor, situated between

the 900 and 1700 blocks of Ocean Avenue, is

home to over fifty commercial businesses and is

approximately a half-mile from the Upper Yard

site. The site is also located a half-mile from the

City College of San Francisco (CCSF) Ocean

Campus. CCSF is one of the largest community

colleges in the nation with over 50 academic

programs and more than 100 occupational

disciplines1. Lastly, the site sits adjacent to the

Balboa Park BART station. This station serves

multiple BART and SFMTA (Muni) transit lines.

The Upper Yard site is currently split into two

parcels, as displayed in Figure 2. Parcel

6973/038 occupies the western portion of the

site and is currently owned by BART. This portion

of the site covers approximately 44,750 square

feet.3 Directly adjacent to the BART parcel

is parcel 6973/039. This parcel is 30,750 SF

and is owned by the SFMTA.4 This site was

previously used as a storage lot for the Muni

Metro Light Rail Vehicles (LRVs), but is currently

in use as a parking lot for SFMTA and other

public employees. In the future, the SFMTA expects to no longer need these spaces as room becomes

available under its Green Yard maintenance facility.5

In order to obtain rights to construct The Upper Yard, we intend to partner with the San Francisco

Mayor’s Office of Housing (MOH) to purchase and combine the parcels. The deal will be structured

to deliver maximum benefit to each of the transit agencies. For the SFMTA, we propose that MOH

purchase the parcel with a lump sum payment of $3,690,000, or $120 per square foot, in line with

comparable land sales in the city. This structure will deliver funds to the SFMTA, which the agency

prefers to lease agreements, and is similar to that undertaken at Bernal Heights Neighborhood

Center’s nearby project at 1100 Ocean Avenue.

For the BART parcel, we also propose a lump sum payment from MOH, which will be a capitalized

lease payment amounting to $1,310,000, at roughly the same per square foot cost as the SFMTA

parcel. This will not purchase the entire BART parcel, but will allow us to use approximately 7,500

square feet of it for our structure and associated landscaping. In exchange, BART will be able to use

the MOH funds to improve its “kiss and ride” facility immediately adjacent to our site. This is similar to

agreements engaged in by BART at locations such as the MacArthur station in Oakland.

Both of these deals are structured to appeal to the priorities of the owning agencies, and given the

close similarity to other recent transactions, we expect a favorable reaction. However, we recognize

the difficulty and complexity inherent in navigating and structuring an inter-agency agreement, and

have built additional time into our development timeline to reflect this unique challenge of our site.

As stated previously, the site is directly adjacent

to the Balboa Park station, and includes one

entry point on the site itself, making it an ideal

candidate for transit-oriented development. This

station is served by both BART and the SFMTA.

Via BART, residents will have access to regional

commuting destinations throughout the Bay Area,

with lines that connect the station to downtown

San Francisco, job centers in the East Bay such

as Oakland, Berkeley, and Dublin, and both San

Francisco International and Oakland International

Airports.6 Four BART routes serve the Balboa

Park station, which averages over 13,000 exits

per day, making it the most traveled stop outside of the four downtown San Francisco stations.7

Along with BART, the Balboa Park station is served by SFMTA routes J, K, M, 88, 54, 43, 29, 8X, and

8BX, providing extensive access to downtown San Francisco as well as adjacent neighborhoods. In

addition to transit, the site offers excellent access to I-280, connecting to downtown San Francisco and

job centers to the south in Silicon Valley and San Jose, with both on and off-ramp access from Geneva

Ave.

The Upper Yard site is located in the Excelsior

neighborhood of San Francisco. This

neighborhood is situated in the southeastern

corner of San Francisco, tucked between US

Highway 101 and Interstate 280. Situated at the

eastern edge of the Excelsior neighborhood of San

Francisco, the site constitutes a point of transition

between the Excelsior and the generally more

affluent Ingleside neighborhood to the west of

I-280.

The area surrounding the Upper Yard is

predominately residential, with a mix of single

and two-family homes, and is punctuated by

neighborhood commercial corridors running

along Ocean Ave to the site’s northwest, and

along Mission Street located a half-mile east of

the site. San Jose Avenue, running along the

eastern edge of the site, also includes pockets of

small neighborhood commercial establishments.

The immediate area around the site, however, is

relatively underdeveloped, and is largely defined

by transportation infrastructure – the SFMTA owns

maintenance yards to the north and east, and

I-280 and the BART station define the western

edge of the site. Re-activating this area is a priority

for San Francisco, as detailed in the Balboa Park

Station Area Plan, and the Upper Yard has been

NEIGHBORHOOD CONTEXT Figure 4. Surrounding neighborhoods

Figure 5. Site analysis


designed with this goal in mind.

In addition to its proximity to the City College campus, the Upper Yard is well served by the San

Francisco Unified School District, with six elementary and two public high schools located within one

mile. An SFUSD childcare facility and a San Francisco Community School, an alternative K through

8th campus, are also within one mile of the site. The site also has access to a number of pocket parks

and public recreational areas and sports fields within a one-mile radius, including the 21 acre Balboa

Park, which offers a public swimming pool, a children's playground, a stadium, two baseball diamonds,

tennis courts, and the Ingleside police station.

The eight 2010 US census tracts that fall within the Excelsior district were used to summarize some

key demographic features of the neighborhood surrounding the site using 2006 - 2010 American

Community Survey data. Demographically, the Excelsior neighborhood is defined by its diversity,

relative youth, and working class character. First, the area’s median household income in 2010 was

$69,465, slightly lower than San Francisco’s median income of $72,745. However, nearly 30% of

Excelsior residents live in households earning less than 200% of the federal poverty line, with half of

those residents in households earning less than 150%.8

The area’s age distribution also closely tracks that of the San Francisco as a whole, with a slightly

larger under 18 population (18% vs. 13% in San Francisco). The portion of all residents between ages

18 and 24 in the area, like the entire city, is near 10%, while the over 65 population makes up 14%.

The site area is substantially more ethnically diverse than the city as a whole, with whites making up

only slightly more than a quarter of the area population, as opposed to nearly half of San Francisco’s

population. Asians are the predominant ethnic group, comprising half of all area residents. Lastly, a

quarter of all the area residents identify as Latino, substantially more than San Francisco’s 15%. This

diversity is also reflected in the language mix of the area, where 72% of residents speak a language

other than English, only 35% of whom speak English “very well.” Out of all area residents, 40% speak

an Asian or Pacific Islands language and 30% speak Spanish or Spanish Creole.9

The adjacent neighborhoods experience a slightly tighter housing market than the city as a whole, with

5% of all housing units vacant, as opposed to San Francisco’s 8% vacancy rate. The area also shows

a dramatically higher rate of home ownership, with 62% of units owner-occupied and 38% rented. This

is the inverse of the San Francisco market overall, where two-thirds of all occupied units are rented.

Interestingly, among those renters, nearly 60% paid more than 30% of their monthly income in rent

between 2006 and 2010, a substantially higher proportion than in San Francisco overall, where less

than half of all renters (45%) are rent over-burdened.

{ SITE CONTEXT } 7

EXISTING PUBLIC INFRASTRUCTURE

Two particular elements of existing BART infrastructure impact the project’s design and development.

First, the below-grade BART tube runs along the western site boundary. The bottom of the BART tube

is approximately 40 feet below the existing grade. Based on discussions with BART staff and other

developers that have worked with BART, we determined that new upgrades or structures that might

place additional loads on the BART tube could not be built within a defined “zone of influence”. This

zone of influence is defined by the line extending at a 45-degree angle from the bottom coroner of the

BART tunnel up to the existing grade. This will require us to keep our proposed building a minimum of

40 feet back from the BART tunnel.

Second, a BART entrance structure currently sits at grade. This entrance provides access to the

platform and ticketing area of the station. This entrance opens onto a “kiss and ride” drop-off area

that serves the station’s southern entrance, which BART has expressed interest in conserving. The

“kiss and ride” area is serviced by a street running from San Jose Avenue along the western portion of

the site and intersecting with Geneva Avenue. This street must be maintained and accommodated in

our site design.

NOISE and AIR POLLUTION

The site’s adjacency to I-280 will expose any new development to noise and air pollution from traffic.

Recently adopted regulations by the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) for new

developments within 1,000 ft of a freeway or single source of pollution also impose certain ventilation

and other guidelines on the site design. The prevailing northwesterly winds at the site mean that

particulates from the freeway will generally be blown to the southeast, crossing over the Upper Yard

site. A number of measures have been taken to mitigate this air pollution exposure and noise impacts

and will be discussed in the site design section of this proposal.

SOIL AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS

While a geotechnical investigation has not been completed for the site, we accessed existing

Association of Bay Area Governments (ABAG) and U.S. Geologic Study (USGS) resources to

determine that the soil classification for the site (Type C or quaternary) is generally not expected

to add significant amplification to earthquake shaking. In addition, based on the State of California

Seismic Hazard Zone map for the City and County of San Francisco, the site has not experienced

historic liquefaction and does not have a high potential for future liquefaction. Given the information,

it can be inferred that the soil conditions at the site are relatively stable and significant structural

SITE CONSTRAINTS


upgrades will not be required. However, a full geotechnical investigation on the site early on in the

design phase will be critical.

While the Balboa Park Station Area Plan Environmental Impact Report (EIR) did not directly identify

hazardous soils on the Upper Yard site, San Francisco soil is known for containing high levels of

hazardous material and naturally occurring asbestos in the form of serpentenite. The site will have

limited soil impact, which will be contained to installation of structural foundations and below grade

utilities. There will also be a small portion of grading of the site required. Given this information,

a complete Phase I Environmental Site Assessment shall be performed on the site to identify any

environmental concerns. Due to the small amount of soil disturbance, the presence of hazardous

material (soil) at the site will have a minimal financial impact on the overall construction costs. We are

currently carrying a $100,000 allowance to cover hazardous soil off-haul and disposal costs.

ARCHEOLOGICAL SIGNIFICANCE

The (EIR) identified the Upper Yard site as having historic uses that may have significant

archaeological significance. The Upper Yard site was home to the Eureka Dairy from 1876 until

1906.10 Ground disturbing activities such as structural foundation and site utility installation could

adversely impact these archaeological deposits. Golden Bear Partners intends to retain the services

of a qualified archeological consultant that has expertise in California prehistoric and urban historical

archaeology. The archeological consultant will provide an Archeological Monitoring Program (AMP)

based on their site assessment for review by the Environmental Review Officer as a stipulation of the

EIR. It is our intention to have this AMP completed early on in the process in order to accommodate

any changes that might impact the design development phase. Again, due to the small amount of soil

disturbance, we believe that these archeological deposits will have minimal impacts on the project

costs or design.

{ PLANNING CONTEXT } 9

2 | PLANNING CONTEXT

The Upper Yard site has been the subject of a ten-year community-driven planning process that

culminated in the Balboa Park Station Area Plan. Together with the existing land-use regulations, this

document served as our principal guide for the development of the site. Our proposal for the Upper

Yard is consistent with the intent of the Station Area Plan, promoting dense residential development

with an active ground floor and enhanced pedestrian environment.

Approved in 2009, the Balboa Park Station Area Plan establishes ambitious housing goals for the

plan area. These goals focus on promoting dense, infill development that has a strong mixed use

component and is mindful of the existing neighborhood context. The plan established several high-

level objectives for housing

• Maximize opportunities for residential infill throughout the plan area.

• Strengthen the Ocean Avenue neighborhood commercial district by providing an appropriate mix of housing.

• Establish an active, mixed-use neighborhood around the transit station that emphasizes the development of housing.

• Provide increased housing opportunities affordable to a mix of households at varying income levels.

• Enhance and preserve the existing housing stock

• Promote health through residential development design and location.

In addition to these high-level objectives, the Balboa Park Station Area Plan specifically identifies the

Upper Yard parcel as “the best near-term opportunity for introducing mixed use development to the

station area.” The Plan also proposes the following site strategy for The Upper Yard site:

• Development on the Upper Yard should seek to maximize density around the station and provide as much housing as possible.

• Massing and character of the new building must contribute to the neighborhood and respect the character and scale of the Geneva Office Building.

• Development along Geneva Avenue should be primarily residential with some transit and neighborhood-serving commercial at street level.

• Development facing San Jose Avenue should be predominately residential.

The Upper Yard is consistent with the housing goals and objectives of the Station Area Plan.

HOUSING GOALS


Based on the proposed build out, the Balboa Park Station Area Plan creates opportunities for the

development of approximately 1,780 new residential units by 2025. This would increase the housing

supply in the plan area by 61% and contribute 3% to San Francisco’s total anticipated housing

production between 2000 and 2025. The Upper Yard site has been identified as a Tier 1 site in the

Station Area Plan, meaning that the City sees the site as a feasible location for development within

the next 5 years. As specified in the EIR, the site is currently entitled for 200 residential units and

10,000 square feet of commercial development.11

The recently approved Phelan Loop project will add 71 affordable units to the neighborhood housing

supply. Situated on land previously owned by the SFMTA, the project is adjacent to a market-rate

development that includes 173 rental apartment units and a Whole Foods grocery store on Ocean

Avenue. Together these projects account for nearly 14% of the total anticipated build out identified

in the EIR. The Station Area Plan supports the idea that affordable housing should be given first

consideration when publicly-owned sites are to be developed. This supports the City policy that directs

surplus public property to be considered for the development of affordable housing.

AREA HOUSING DEVELOPMENT

ZONINGBoth parcels are zoned NCT-2. A Neighborhood

Commercial Transit (NCT) District, as defined by the

San Francisco Planning Code, is a “transit-oriented

moderate- to high-density mixed-use neighborhood.” 12 This zoning classification is characterized by

mixed-use developments with commercial on the

lower floors and housing above. Parking is not

required for the residential portion of the building

and is typically limited due to its proximity to public

transportation. Housing density is not set by the

zoning use district, but by applicable height and bulk

districts.

The NCT-2 District allows residential uses as a

permitted use. This zoning district also allows

a number of non-residential uses, including

medical service on the first and second floors

of development. Medical service use includes

Figure 6. Zoning use district

Figure 7. Height and bulk districts13

{ PLANNING CONTEXT } 11

outpatient clinic facilities, as proposed in our development (Planning Code §790.14). In addition,

medical service facilities also meet the requirement for “active commercial use” along the Geneva

side of the site (Planning Code §145.4c). For residential use, there is no density limit aside from that

imposed by the height and bulk restrictions on the site.

The Upper Yard site falls under two different height and bulk districts. The northern portion of the

site is zoned as 85-B, permitting buildings with a maximum height of 85 ft, while the southern portion

of the site is zoned as 45-X, permitting a maximum height of 45 ft. Figure 7 shows the extent of the

height and bulk districts on the site. The Balboa Park Station Area Plan accepts these height and bulk

restrictions and envisions the greatest building heights nearest to the BART station entrance and the

freeway. The Station Area Plan also emphasizes the consideration of existing street-front design in any

new development, calling for individual frontages no wider than 90 ft. This requirement is less stringent

than the design guidelines in the planning code, which require one extrusion or indentation of no less

than four feet in depth for each 25 ft of linear street frontage. The Station Area Plan also requires

setbacks of 20 ft and 5 ft for the street frontages along Geneva and San Jose, respectively.

The permitted floor-to-area ratio (FAR) of the site is 2.5. For the 1.7 acre Upper Yard site, our proposed

GSF of 139,427 yields an FAR of 1.88, falling well below the permitted maximum. There is no parking

required for NCT districts, though some parking has been included, as will be discussed below. In

addition, the open space requirement of 100 sq ft and 133 sq ft per unit for common and private open

space provision, respectively, yields a minimum open space requirement on the Upper Yard of between

12,500 and 16,625 sq ft. This open space requirement is met by the two courtyards and a mix of

private balconies opening onto San Jose from the units along the eastern side of the building.

APPROVALS PROCESS

While the project is well below the 200,000 GSF established in the Station Area Plan, it does cross the

threshold for the large project designation. This means that the project will not be dealt with through the

traditional administrative approvals process. Rather, the Planning Commission will review and evaluate

all physical aspects of the proposed project at a public hearing. This may add some additional time to

the approvals process but we anticipate that the project’s alignment with the guidelines in the Station

Table 1. Selected zoning requirements and compliance


The Upper Yard proposes to add much needed below-market-rate housing to the Excelsior

neighborhood. This type of housing stock is essential for maintaining the area’s current status as

friendly and accessible to working class families and immigrants, who otherwise are vulnerable

to displacement due to market pressures. Given the city’s stated goals to retain these types of

households, and enable them to access the economic and cultural opportunity that San Francisco has

to offer, we believe that this site should be a priority for affordable housing development.

Similar to other major American cities, San

Francisco saw significant out-migration in the

post-war period. However, the city rebounded

quicker than its peers and population has

increased steadily over the past couple

decades. With 805,235 residents in the latest

US Census, the population of San Francisco is

greater than ever. While there are numerous

reasons for this growth, the relative strength

of the job market and the wide range of cultural offerings are significant drivers of population growth.

Coupled with a limited geography, this population growth has helped push the cost of housing up,

despite the recession and national housing slump.

Comparatively, the San Francisco housing market is one of the most expensive in the country and the

high cost of living makes it difficult for families to move to and remain in the city. According to the 2010

US Census, of San Francisco’s 335,956 households, only 63,577(5.2%) have children under the age of

18. Overall, children account for 13.4% of San Francisco’s population, compared to 25% in the state

of California. This is the lowest rate of children of any major US city. While there are a number of

larger issues that relate to the exodus of families, affordability is one of the primary reasons. Both the

Excelsior and Ingleside neighborhoods have a significant number of minority families. These families

are particularly at risk in markets where housing prices and rental rates have seen upward pressure.

A recent report by the National Low Income Housing Coalition identified San Francisco as the most

expensive place in the country to rent housing. The average rent on a two-bedroom property in the

city of San Francisco is $1,905 per month. The report finds that someone would need to make at least

$76,000 a year (or $36.63 per hour) to be able to afford rent without spending over one-third of his or

her income.14 Moreover, despite an average household income of $103,000 (for a family of 4), many

WHY AFFORDABLE HOUSING Figure 8. San Francisco population trends

{ MARKET ANALYSIS } 13

families who can afford to rent are unable to purchase a home with sufficient space. In addition, the

overall uncertainty of the real estate market has made many people reluctant to purchase a home,

increasing competition for rental properties and putting additional pressure on rental prices.

In the Excelsior neighborhood, rents are generally more affordable than other neighborhoods closer to

downtown areas, but market rents are still elevated, particularly for newer housing stock. Looking at

the previous decade, rental rates in the Western part of San Francisco have fluctuated while generally

trending upwards.

COMPARABLES

Looking at the area near the Upper Yard there has been relatively little construction over the past

twenty years and most of the single-family homes and multi-family units date from the 1950s.

However, a recent market-rate residential development in the vicinity of The Upper Yard, the Avalon

Bay project at 1200 Ocean Avenue, is leasing units at the following rates15:

BEDS RENTS SQ FEET

Studio Starting at $2,310 493 - 613 Sq. Ft.

One Bedroom Starting at $2,220 716 - 871 Sq. Ft.

Two Bedrooms Starting at $2,995 1016 - 1312 Sq. Ft.

By comparison, rents for the family units at the Upper Yard will be set to the rents mandated by the

Mayor’s Office of Housing, targeting families at 50% of the Area Median Income, and will range from

$1,030 for a 1 bedroom to $1,159 for a 2 bedroom, and $1,288 for 3 bedrooms.

Transitional age youth are young adults between the ages of 18 to 24, and the term generally refers

to certain categories of at-risk youth, such as the formerly homeless, and young people emancipated

from the foster care system. The need for affordable housing for transitional age youth in San

Francisco is significant – the city estimates that 4,500 to 6,800 TAY are homeless and marginally

housed at some point during each year.16 Meanwhile, San Francisco only has 340 units currently

targeted for TAY, with another 99 in pre-development.

While there are other, less targeted options available for homeless and marginally housed San

Franciscans, these tend to be a poor fit for transitional youth. Moreover, because the youth may not

have been homeless for very long, they often do not qualify for mainstream homeless assistance.

Nonetheless, with little stability in their backgrounds, and a relatively high rate of mental illness, these

transitional youth face a high risk of becoming chronically homeless, and are in need of supportive

housing.

The transitional age youth population has a number of sub-populations, and one of these is made

up of youth who are aging out of the foster care system, or “emancipated youth”. The city estimates

that about 200 young people turn 18 and join this category every year. These youth lose services

when turning 18, but generally lack the family support available to most young adults to enable them

to find education, jobs, or housing. In addition to the demonstrated need, availability of funding and

advantages of The Upper Yard’s location make this group a compelling target population:

• Accesstocapitalfunding: Capital funding is available through MHSA capital loans, which are set

aside to assist former foster youth, among other groups

• Accesstooperatingsubsidies: The Local Operating Subsidy Program provides operating

support for units housing emancipating youth for up to two years, with extended funding possible

through the recently passed AB 12, which seeks to continue “wraparound” support through age 21

• Location: The Upper Yard’s location near to City College’s Ocean campus is a key advantage,

particularly given the school’s Guardian Scholars program, which focuses on supporting

emancipated youth through obtaining an associate’s degree. Additionally, BHNC is in the process

of developing Phelan Loop in the immediate vicinity, which will also set aside 25 units for

emancipated youth.

Given these advantages, The Upper Yard will set aside 16 studio units for emancipated youth. Our

approach to housing and supporting these youth is covered in greater detail in Section 4.

TARGETING TRANSITIONAL AGE YOUTH

{ PROJECT DESCRIPTION } 15

The Upper Yard Housing development is an 8-level steel frame building that steps down to 4-levels

along San Jose Avenue. The ground floor is occupied by a community health clinic and enclosed

parking for both the clinic and residents. The project sits at the intersection of the Ingleside and

Balboa Park neighborhoods in an urban landscape defined by transit infrastructure. Within this

context, we have designed a project that engages the diverse community, provides necessary

services, and enhances the pedestrian environment.

Our project is driven by three primary design principles. These are community, sustainability, and

affordability. The site’s shape and restrictions related to the proximity of the BART tunnel require a

compact building design that makes efficient use of the available land. The need to address concerns

over air quality and particulates from the adjacent highway also feature prominently in the building

design.

The building is 139,427 gsf with 125 housing units distributed across eight floors. The ground floor

has a 10,000 gsf health clinic that offers a variety of affordable health services including primary

care, women’s health, health education and counseling. The unit mix is 20 studios, 37 1-bedroom, 30

2-bedroom and 38 3-bedrooms. The studios are primarily set aside for transition-age youths (TAY) and

are situated along the western side of the building. Access to the building and clinic situated near the

entrance to the BART station though the clinic also has an entrance on the corner of Geneva and San

Jose Avenues.

Parking is situated on the ground floor with entrances on both San Jose Avenue and the western edge

of the building from the “kiss and ride” drop-off lane, which has been realigned and narrowed from the

existing lane right-of-way, as shown in Figure 11. There are 48 spaces with 17 set aside for the clinic

and 31 provided for residents of the building. This

translates to a parking/unit ratio of .22 spaces

per unit. In addition to two handicap spaces,

two of the parking spaces are reserved for car

share programs and there is sheltered parking

for 42 bicycles. In order to allocate the parking

to residents, and in keeping with best practice in

transit-oriented sites, we propose that the parking

be unbundled, and will charge $50 per month per

space.

All residential dwelling units are located above

the ground floor. For the southern portion of the

building, three floors of units are arranged around

a courtyard that is situated atop the podium on

the second floor. The studio units intended for

transitional youth line the west side of the building

in order to assign families with young children to

units further away from freeway impacts. In the

northern portion of the building, residential units

are arranged in seven floors around a courtyard

atop the podium. All three-bedroom units will be

located on the uppermost floors of this portion of

the building and to the eastern edge, in order to

minimize the exposure of families with children

from the impacts associated with freeway

proximity. All units on the western and northern

sides of the building will feature non-operable

double-paned windows to mitigate noise and air

pollution.

The two courtyards are buffered from the noise

and air pollution emanating from the freeway by

the building floors along the western edge of the

site, which form a solid wall of 45 and 85 ft in the

Figure 11. Proposed drop-off lane realignment

southern and northern portions of the building, respectively. The combined 13,280 sf area of the two

courtyards provides more than the 12,500 sf required in the zoning code.

These courtyards are open to the eastern side of the building, allowing air pollution picked up by the

predominant northwesterly winds to essentially jump the building on the western side and then flow

unimpeded over the courtyards and out of the site to the east. All open-air balconies face out from the

eastern side of the building. In addition, the ventilation shaft has been located atop the highest portion

of the building (at 85 ft above grade and 145 ft above the freeway roadbed) and a system of distributed

filters will be used to maximize indoor air quality. Landscaping along the western edge of the parcel,

between the “kiss and ride” access road and the freeway includes tall trees, predominantly redwoods

and other native conifers, in order to further mitigate noise impacts. According to our conversations

with the San Francisco Department of Public Health's Environmental Health office, this courtyard

arrangement, unit allocation, and ventilation system allow for the maximum mitigation of air and noise

pollution associated with the proximity to the freeway given the constraints of the site.

Access to the building is concentrated on the northeast and northwest corners and on Geneva to

the north and the “kiss and ride” access road to the west. Access to the ground level parking is from

the “kiss and ride” access road. The residential lobby is accessible from both the parking area and

northwest corner of the building, nearest to BART, while the clinic is accessible from Geneva Avenue

and from the northeast corner of the building on San Jose. In addition, adequate street lighting will be

included in our right-of-way improvements to ensure a safe and inviting approach to the building for

residents and evening clinic patients.

There are several common areas distributed throughout the residential development, providing critical

community space and serving as nodes of activity for building residents. Each floor has community

spaces that serve as informal space for the community to come together to celebrate birthdays,

holidays, and other social events. These spaces can help foster stronger connections between families

and transitional age youth.

The first floor includes a community space adjacent to the lobby area. This space designed to

accommodate programs for building residents and will be accessible to all residents of the building.

This community space is located next to a large community space set aside for the community health

clinic. Outside of the clinic’s hours of operation, the doors that separate these spaces can be opened,

creating a larger community space. Working together with clinic staff, the resident services staff will be

able to program this larger space for community events such movie nights, community meetings, and

educational courses.

The building courtyards provide an important community space that is to be enjoyed by all residents of

The Upper Yard. Given the prevalence of families in the building, the northern courtyard will include

a playground as well as a picnic area with benches and tables. The southern courtyard will include

CONSTRUCTIONGiven the design height and number of stories of the proposed, Typical Type V wood framing will not

be acceptable as a construction technique for The Upper Yard. A Type I building style will be required

to obtain the desired building height. Standard Type I concrete construction is both costly and

inefficient. Due to this, we propose using the Pueblo Building Technologies® structural steel and light

gauge metal stud framing system as the structural skeleton for The Upper Yard.

The Pueblo Building Technologies® structural system is a prefabricated structural steel system that

is composed of braced ladder frames, connecting beams, and floor panels with deep light gauge

steel “C” joists. Structural fiber cement board or steel deck with a concrete topping slab is used as

the floor system with resilient channels, insulation, and drywall comprising the ceiling assembly. This

system meets all required ratings and building codes for a Type I building and has previously been

patio space for building residents and could accommodate some small-scale recreation space and

community gardening geared toward TAY residents. Neither of these spaces is on the ground floor

but both serve as green terraces, mitigating the visual impact of the development on the adjacent

residential community.

{ SITE CONTEXT } 27

permitted for two buildings in San Francisco. The benefits outlined below make the Pueblo Structural

Technologies® system ideal for The Upper Yard Project:

1. LighterStructuresandGreaterDesignFlexibility–BuildingAroundTransit: Given the

location of the BART Tube along the western site boundary, we have to be cognizant of the loads

we are imparting on the underground structure, which the Pueblo Structural Technologies® system

helps us in two ways. First, the Pueblo Structural Technologies® system is lighter than typical

Type I concrete construction. The Pueblo Structural Technologies® system weights approximately

65 pounds per square foot as opposed to 130 pounds per square foot of a typical concrete

structure. Second, the simplified structural design gives greater design flexibility. The vertical

braced ladder frames are embedded within the partitions of the building allowing for greater design

flexibility around the structural elements. This will allow us to maximize the use of space given that

we cannot construct the building within the BART tube’s zone of influence.

2. ShorterConstructionDuration–ReducedContractorOverheadCosts: These steel structures

are prefabricated off-site and rapidly erected in place at the construction site. This reduces the

overall time to complete the structural components of the building, which greatly reduces the

overall construction duration. Given the tight tolerances of the Pueblo Structural Technologies®

system, other components such as panelized exterior wall framing, window assemblies, and

emergency stairs can also be prefabricated, which contributes to a savings in the overall

construction duration. These shorter construction durations contribute directly to an overall

decrease in project costs attributable to a saving in general conditions and earlier realization of

rental revenues. After review of the plans and construction technique, Cahill Contractors, Inc.

estimated an overall construction schedule of 18 months.

3. LowerConstructionCosts–TypeIconstructionforTypeVprices:The lighter weight material

results in reduced foundation and podium structural costs. The shorter construction duration

results in less general conditions cost. The cost of material and manufacturing results in a

savings over the typical Type I construction. All in all, this results in a lower overall construction,

which greatly benefits the project. Early indication is that The Upper Yard can be constructed on

the order of $260 per square foot using the Pueblo Structural Technologies® system, which is

equivalent to the cost of a wood frame building. This structural technique allows us to keep the

overall construction and project costs to a minimum.


Golden Bear Partners are committed to building sustainable communities. A driving goal for this

development is to demonstrate how green building principles can be effectively incorporated into an

affordable housing development without being cost-prohibitive. To achieve this goal, the project will

work with existing site constraints to develop a building that conserves resources, promotes a healthy

environment and educates residents about the values of sustainable design.

While a number of different sustainability rating systems were explored, the project team decided

to pursue a GreenPoint rating and has achieved a rating of 183. Developed by Build it Green in

Oakland, the rating systems offers the best alignment with our overall building objectives. In addition,

the project will be designed to beat Title 24 (California energy code) and Cal Green requirements

by at least 15% in order to capitalize on funding sources for exemplary green projects. The project

will also be developed in compliance with the Green Communities Initiative that is a requirement for

the Mayor’s Office of Housing. For site planning, the building will also meet the requirements of Bay

Friendly Landscaping for Multi-family developments.

SITE LAYOUT

A focus on proper building orientation and façade design will greatly impact the building’s energy

demand through efficient daylighting and reduction of conditioning requirements. Unfortunately,

given the site configuration and the constraints imposed by the adjacent BART station, the building is

oriented north-south and thus unable to optimize solar exposure. Given San Francisco’s temperate

climate, the amount of additional heat gain should not put an undue load on the building’s systems.

Lowering the electric lighting loads by incorporating natural daylighting into the clinic and residential

units was not difficult, as there are few obstructions surrounding the site. The massing favors a narrow

floorplate which allows natural light to filter through to all regularly occupied areas. The stairwells are

naturally daylit with skylights, and the courtyards allow diffuse light into the corridors and inward-facing

units. The west façade is staggered to provide shade. On the east side of the courtyards, trellises

descend to the sidewalk, which reduce solar heat gain.

The building massing provides protection to the courtyard areas. Given concerns over air pollution

from the adjacent I-280 and the prevailing wind direction coming from the direction of the highway, the

building façade and vegetation buffer along the parcel edge to help mitigate the impact of air pollution

on the shared common areas of the building. The courtyards open to the east in order to allow

particulate matter to flow past the area instead of “settling” in the courtyard on still days.

MATERIALS

SUSTAINABILITY

{ SITE CONTEXT } 29

Landscape: Cohesiveness with the neighborhood surroundings, and compatibility with the character

and habitat of the site should be carefully considered during the selection and design of the plant

materials. According to Sunset’s Western Garden Book, the Upper Yard is located in climate zone 17,

which consists of mild, wet, almost frostless winters and cool summers with frequent fog or wind. In this

climate, native vegetation that is drought tolerant is appropriate. On the street level, permeable pavers

and planters will reduce site runoff and help create a visually appealing pedestrian environment.

Building: Low-VOC, renewable, recycled, locally sourced, and natural materials have been specified

above and beyond Title24 to provide a green safe and healthy indoor environment. The Pueblo

Structural System™ is designed out of 100% recycled materials, substantially reducing the energy

use required to manufacture the building structural system. FSC certified wood, recycled insulation,

recycled glass and formaldehyde-free adhesives will be used.

ENERGY

To reduce energy loads and exceed Title 24 by 15%, the building will utilize a number of energy

reduction strategies. Cool roofs with high SRI materials will reflect sunlight and reduce the building’s

cooling load. Low emissivity windows will help reduce energy loads by reflecting infrared heat radiation

in the summer while preventing heat loss during the winter months.

Artificial interior lighting in common areas and corridors will utilize compact florescent lighting to reduce

energy loads and reduce lifetime replacement costs. All of the residential units will have ENERGY

STAR appliances to help reduce overall energy consumption. Though the building has limited potential

for natural ventilation due to the concern of air pollutants from I-280, high performance HVAC and

mechanical systems will be used to reduce energy costs while ensuring high indoor air quality.

INDOOR ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY

Ensuring premium indoor environmental quality is critical to the success of the building. Given the

building’s location adjacent to I-280, particular care must be taken to ensure that air pollution is

mitigated. To respond to this, the western façade is sealed to reduce the intake of particulates. Fresh

air for building ventilation is drawn from a central air intake situated on the building’s roof, which is

situated off-axis from the prevailing wind direction to reduce turbulence. A decentralized air filtration

system ensures high quality indoor air by filtering the air three times, once at the intake, again at each

floor level, and finally before it enters the individual unit.

To reduce the impact of the adjacent freeway and transit on acoustics, the building will utilize materials

with high sound attenuation. Double pane windows further help reduce the impact of exterior noise

pollutions. A vegetated screen will augment the existing sound barrier on the site edge next to the


highway off ramp, and a sound wall will be erected to buffer highway noise.

WATER

Water conservation and reuse is an important goal for the Upper Yard. The use of low-flow plumbing

fixtures within the residential units and rain water irrigation in the courtyard and community garden will

be our first step in reducing the load on our water supply. In addition, a centralized laundry room with

high efficiency appliances, high efficiency showerheads to reduce water use to 1.4 gallons per minute,

low flow sinks, and dual flush toilets will be incorporated throughout the building.

REUSE/RECYCLE

Greywater recycling is an important tactic for the reduction of on-site water use. To achieve this

goal the courtyards and roofs will capture stormwater runoff and utilize this for irrigation. The use of

native plants and collected runoff will substantially reduce the amount of water needed for the site’s

landscape.

TRANSIT

The Upper Yard is a model for transit-oriented development. The site’s location near both BART and

Muni stations provides excellent transit options to building residents. While on-site parking does

exist, these spaces have been unbundled from residential units and tenants need to pay a monthly

fee to use these sites. Two spaces have been reserved for car-sharing should building residents need

access to a car. There are 42 sheltered and secure bicycle parking spaces included on the ground

floor to be used by building residents and clinic staff.

{ COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT } 31

Public support is a crucial part of any development project in San Francisco, and so in addition to

responding to market demands, we have sought to design the Upper Yard to address community

needs, such as supportive housing for transitional youth, and primary health care facilities.

Public support is a crucial part of any development project in San Francisco, and so in addition to

responding to market demands, we have sought to design the Upper Yard to address community

needs, such as supportive housing for transitional youth, and primary health care facilities.

The Balboa Park community has many organizations that support affordable housing being

developed on the Upper Yard site. Specifically, we have engaged with People Organizing to Demand

Environmental and Economic Rights (PODER), a community organization that is active in San

Francisco’s District 11, and is a key supporter of affordable housing on the Upper Yard site. PODER

has been conducting charettes on design for housing on the site, and The Upper Yard proposal speaks

to some of the needs identified:

• Addressingunderutilizedspaces: Parking lots and disused yards like the Upper Yard dot much

of the Balboa Park area, and represent an opportunity to add housing and amenities without

bringing displacement.

• Communityservices: The Excelsior neighborhood suffer from a lack of access to community

spaces, and affordable health care. The Upper Yard is designed to deliver these amenities to the

area, and in particular, the clinic space will significantly increase the area’s health care capacity.

• Housing: The community feedback also indicated a need for housing that is within the reach of

working families, as well as at-risk groups, both of which are targeted by our development.

Our strategy for gaining community support will also leverage our partnership with Bernal Heights

Neighborhood Center. BHNC has over 20 years of experience in the local community, and is currently

developing a nearby parcel on Ocean Avenue with a similar profile. We intend to pursue a similar

community engagement strategy on this site, including meeting with key stakeholders such as the

Ocean Avenue Revitalization Collaborative, the Excelsior District Improvement Association, and the

District 11 Council.

MISSION NEIGHBORHOOD HEALTH CENTER

The area near Balboa Park station needs more health care capacity, an issue that we have sought to

address in our proposal through a joint venture with Mission Neighborhood Health Center. Access to

COMMUNITY SUPPORT


affordable health care was identified as a key need by community members during PODER’s design

charettes, and the data supports this assumption:

• 16.3% of residents in the Excelsior are uninsured, compared to 3.5% citywide• More than half the residents depend on government-sponsored insurance (Medi-Cal, Medicare, Healthy SF)• The nearest major health facility is St. Luke’s, half an hour away on public transit• 25.4% of surveyed Excelsior residents traveled for an hour or more to see a provider

Mission Neighborhood Health Center (MHNC) is a non-profit network of primary care facilities in San

Francisco. MHNC’s mission is to serve low-income families in some of San Francisco’s working class

neighborhoods – the clinic targets families making less than 200% of the federal poverty level – and

in particular, the clinic specializes in serving families in the Latino community. MHNC is headquartered

in San Francisco’s Mission District, but also operates a facility in the Excelsior neighborhood, about

a mile away from the Upper Yard site. MHNC has targeted the southeastern neighborhoods of San

Francisco for expansion, in response to the demographic changes that have seen Latino families move

south from the Inner Mission to Excelsior, Balboa Park, and the Bayview.

Currently, MHNC’s presence in these areas is limited. While they operate a facility in the Excelsior, this

is a fairly small operation, consisting of 4,500 square feet and no parking. The size of this clinic limits

capacity for basic care, and also limits MHNC’s ability to offer auxiliary services, e.g. family health

clinics, or counseling. In order to meet the increasing needs of this part of the city, MHNC would like

to locate a larger facility in the area, and has indicated that the Upper Yard would meet many of its

concerns:

Space and layout - As discussed, MHNC would like a larger space near to its clients, in order to

increase its capacity (the center seeks to handle 24,000 annual visits at a new facility). Additionally, its

current facilities feature an outdated layout that precludes much of the group and family health activity

that it sees as a key part of its work going forward. With these concerns in mind, the Upper Yard

includes a 10,000 square foot space for the clinic. This would include room for exam rooms, an open

waiting area, and spaces for group activities and family clinics.

Access – The Upper Yard is an ideal location from an access standpoint, given its proximity to BART

and several Muni lines, and can be reached easily from a large portion of San Francisco and Daly City.

The site also allows for a limited amount of parking to be provided, which MHNC has identified as a

need for a subset of its staff and clients.

Safety – Given the family-oriented nature of MHNC’s services, the center wants to be sure that its

facilities offer safe routes to and from transportation centers. The Upper Yard offers a very short walk

{ COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT } 33

RESIDENT SERVICES

to BART and Muni, and will also serve to upgrade the surrounding streetscape. Moreover, the Balboa

Park Station Area Plan proposes several improvements to enhance safety in the immediate area.

Resident services provide an important platform upon which to build a stable community and provide

the support network that building residents need. Services at the Upper Yard will be provided by a

third-party, the Lutheran Social Services, which have worked closely with the BHNC. All LSS programs

seek to acknowledge each person’s level of functioning and to empower them to achieve control of

their lives within their level of ability.

RESIDENT SERVICES - MULTIFAMILY

The Upper Yard will have one full-time resident services program manager who maintains an office

near the building entrance. The staff member will be responsible for overseeing programs that range

from basic support counseling to workshops on financial planning and after-school programs. The

full-time employee will be supported by a part-time case manager who is responsible for client case

management including developing individual and family service plans, goal setting, making linkages

and referrals to community resources.

RESIDENT SERVICES -TRANSITIONAL YOUTH

Larkin Street Youth Services is a San Francisco-based non-profit that specializes in providing services

to at-risk youth, including homeless youth and young people emancipated from the foster care system.

The services provided range from emergency counseling and shelter to long-term housing. We intend

to partner with Larkin Street to provide services and support to the emancipated youth living in the

Upper Yard.

Our proposal includes space set aside for a part-time case manager to work on-site. This manager

will be dedicated purely to the TAY units, and will provide the assistance generally needed by this

population:

job placement, basic financial planning, links to educational programs, crisis management, and

community building. The case manager will also provide counseling services, working in conjunction

with the MHNC staff as needed, as well as act as a liaison with City College’s Guardian Scholars

program as appropriate.

Six of the TAY units will be set aside for MHSA-qualified youth with serious mental illnesses. In addition

to the case manager, we will rely on Larkin Street to provide these youth with the more intensive

services required, including medication monitoring, counseling, and crisis intervention. For this subset,


the proximity to the clinic facilities will allow some of these services to be provided on-site through

collaboration between Larkin Street and the MHNC.

CITY COLLEGE SAN FRANCISCO (CCSF) COLLABORATION

The Guardian Scholars program at CCSF and the Larkin Street Youth Services have agreed to launch

a program called College Track. The Guardian Scholars program has been established specifically

to help students exiting the foster care system by providing comprehensive support to help achieve

educational objectives. The College Track initiative is designed to help transition age youth balance

school obligations with requirements necessary to participate in Larkin’s LEASE program. Under the

LEASE program, youth are obligated to pay 30% of their income into a fund that will help them make

the transition into housing after Local Operating Subsidy funding (LOSP) expires. This mandatory

savings plan often requires youth to work 25-30 hours per week in addition attending classes.

To help students achieve this balance, Larkin Street staff and Guardian staff work together to support

the student. Guardian staff provide information to help the student navigate CCSF both financially and

academically. Larkin Street staff will coordinate with Guardian staff to make sure they have a better

sense of the youth’s progress towards his/her degree. The ultimate goal of the program is to ensure

that the youth makes a successful transition from supportive housing at the end of the 24 month

period. If the youth decides that education is something they want to continue pursuing, program

staff need to work closely with the youth to ensure that money is available to help provide adequate

housing.

We would seek to target participants in Guardian Scholars and LEASE to fill our TAY-dedicated units,

given our proximity to CCSF and the potential that allows for helping the residents’ transition into the

worlds of work and higher education.

{ FINANCING } 356 | FINANCINGThe current environment for funding of affordable housing is challenging. The end of re-development

agencies removed one of the largest sources of subsidy for affordable projects, and nine percent tax

credit financing is currently not available to private developers in San Francisco. Despite this, the city’s

excellent infrastructure and strong economy make it essential to find ways to retain access to housing

for working class families, and so Golden Bear Partners has worked to identify a variety of funding

sources that allow for project financial feasibility. In addition to making use of tax-exempt financing and

federal funding, we are also using a joint-venture structure to fund construction of the clinic, reducing

our construction burden relative to most commercial uses.

Figure 24 shows a breakdown

of the development costs of The

Upper Yard, and the permanent

sources of financing that we

intend to employ in funding the

project. In addition to seeking out

different models for financing the

project, Golden Bear Partners

has also sought to minimize

construction costs, primarily

through the use of the Pueblo

Structural Technology described in Section 4, and by seeking waivers whenever feasible (e.g., waivers

for development impact fees, which have been secured by the nearby Phelan Loop project). The

resulting development costs amount to $56,924,309. The phasing of these costs is summarized below.

Figure 24. Uses and permanent sources

Table 3. Costs phasing


We expect acquisition, pre-development, and construction to take a total of 42 months. In order to

cover our costs, we intend to draw on capital sources that are set aside for these development phases.

Finally, once construction is complete and the building is operational, we intend to access permanent

sources of finance to cover the costs in the permanent and post-permanent phases above, as well as

to allow for the retirement of the construction loan. These sources are shown in the table below.

In large part, development of The Upper Yard will be funded by the sale of 4% tax credits, and by

subsidies from the City of San Francisco Mayor’s Office of Housing. However, Golden Bear Partners

has worked to find alternative sources in an effort to minimize the burden placed on local support.

These funding sources are discussed in detail below:

LIHTCsale:As with most affordable housing projects, we will be applying for Low Income Housing

Tax Credits, and receiving equity funding through the sale of those credits. Currently, in the city of

San Francisco, 9% credits are unavailable for private development due to the City’s plans to use its

allocation on HOPESF related development. Therefore, we will apply for, and have based our model

on using 4% credits. We will partner with Union Bank as the limited partner for the sale, and have been

quoted a price of 1.10 for the credits. Our application to the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee

is included in the Appendix. We expect the sale to yield $22,112,798.

MHSACapitalLoan:The supportive housing for mentally ill youth provided in the 6 of the 16 TAY

units means that the Upper Yard qualifies for an MHSA subsidy on development costs. We intend to

apply for an MHSA loan for $701916, based on the 6 qualifying units and the per-unit debt limit of

$116,986. The loan will have a 57 year maturity, and a 3% annual simple interest rate. Over the course

of the loan, payments will consist of servicing fees amounting to 0.42% of the origination amount

annually, or $2,948.

AffordableHousingProgramGrant:We expect to apply for and receive a grant from the Affordable

Housing Program (AHP) administered by the San Francisco Federal Home Loan Bank. The program is

based on part of the net income of the bank. Grants generally amount to $8,000 to $9,000 per unit, up

to $1,000,000, and will be used to fund construction.

Cliniccontribution: The typical construction model for the neighborhood clinic that will be constructed

on the ground floor is for the clinic to use its financial resources to fund a pro-rated amount of the

construction costs, based on their portion of the total constructed square footage, as well as their

assigned parking. For the Upper Yard project, we expect this contribution to amount to $5,224,153.

MHNC would need to seek out sources of funding for this investment, including potential future HRSA

grants targeted at capital investment, loans collateralized on their property in the Mission District, and

a capital campaign.

Constructionloan:Union Bank will provide a construction loan in the amount of $25,240,434, based

on tax exempt financing that we will apply for with the California Debt Limit Allocation Committee. The

loan amount is based on the need to meet the 50% test for tax-exempt bonds. Terms of the financing

are given in the Letter of Commitment from Union Bank in the Appendix.

Repayment of the construction loan will be financed through a combination of permanent debt

financing, tax credit sale proceeds, and subsidy from the San Francisco Mayor’s Office of Housing.

Permanentresidentialloan:Based on the operating cash flows the building will provide, Union Bank

has agreed to provide tax-exempt debt financing in the amount of $5,418,819. The terms of the loan

are provided in the Letter of Commitment from Union Bank.

Cityfinancing: We intend to make use of subsidies from the San Francisco Mayor’s Office of Housing

in order to fund acquisition and construction, and to provide permanent financing. This funding will

amount to $174,640 per unit, comfortably within the city’s target range of 150,000 to 220,000 a unit.

In total, the project will require $21,830,007 in this acquisition and gap financing. This funding will be

serviced if and when funds become available based on the project’s operations.


REVENUES

The building’s revenues have been modeled based largely on the residential component, with some

miscellaneous income. The assumptions for these are as follows:

Rents: Most of the units (108 out of 125) will be income limited to tenants making 45 - 50% of area

median income (AMI). The maximum rents will be based on the rents provided by the San Francisco

Mayor’s Office of Housing, shown in the table below:

While these are the maximum rents for these income levels, we expect that given the market in this

part of San Francisco, the 45% and 50% AMI units will not require Section 8 input. For the 10% AMI

units (which are the units set aside for emancipated youth), we expect to make use of the Local

Operating Subsidy Program through the San Francisco Department of Public Health. Note that these

units are not part of the revenue used to underwrite our permanent financing, as the Department of

Public Health does not allow LOSP money to be used for debt service.

Operatingsubsidies: We expect the LOSP subsidy through DPH to provide $651 per unit per month,

or $7,816 annually, based on the operating expenses currently budgeted. This is within the typical

annual subsidy range of $6,000 to $10,000 per unit.

Otherincome: The other income modeled for our financial analysis assumes that each unit generates

roughly $50 in miscellaneous income per month (via laundry units and vending machines). We also

expect to generate $150 per month for one of our parking spots set aside for carsharing (we are

required by city ordinance to provide one space for free to a carsharing provider), and $50 per month

for each residential parking space.

EXPENSES

Our operating expense budget for the units is displayed in the table below. Based on discussions with

our developer-partner BHNC, we predict starting-year expenses of $8,100 per unit on average, totaling

$1,012,500 in annual operating costs.

Table 8 displays an operating pro-forma for the first 15 years of operation, based on the estimates laid

out above. The Upper Yard is expected to generate adequate cash flow to cover its costs over this

period, including servicing the permanent loan and the deferred portion of the developer fee. We see

the cash flows as providing sufficient cushion to allow for some increase in expenses, or unexpected

vacancy, particularly in later years.

DEVELOPMENT COSTS - KEY ASSUMPTIONSGolden Bear Partners consulted with Cahill Contractors, Inc., of San Francisco, CA, for preliminary

construction cost estimates. The table below displays some of the key assumptions that went into the

hard cost estimate.

CONSTRUCTIONACTIVITY COST/SF TOTALCOSTDemolition N/A $50,000Hazardous Soil Allowance N/A $100,000Off-Site Construction/Redemption Allowance N/A $50,000Utilities/Site Improvements N/A $646,000Residential Construction Cost $250 $31,270,295Nonresidential (Clinic) Construction Cost $341 $3,410,000Parking Cost $120 $1,995,000

HazardousSoilAllowance: Again, based on Cahill’s experience with working in San Francisco, they

recommended carrying a $100,000 hazardous soil off-haul and disposal allowance. This money will

cover any additional costs associated with handing hazardous soil. After the Phase I is complete, we

will be able to work with Cahill to refine these costs.

Off-SiteConstruction/RemediationAllowance: This number is being carried as an allowance

for working with BART and SFMTA. This money will cover any additional scope added by the

transportation agencies. It will also be used for coordination with these agencies during the

construction phase of the project.

ResidentialConstruction: As noted previously, the Pueblo Building Technologies® structural system

will allow us to building a Type I building for Type V prices. Cahill is currently seeing wood frame

buildings construction for approximately $250 per square foot. This cost includes the contractor’s

overhead and profit along with fees associated with insurance and bonds.

Non-ResidentialClinicConstruction: From previous projects, Cahill estimate the hard clinic

construction costs of $341 per square foot. This is in line with the data contained in the RS Means

Building Construction Cost Data books. These costs will be covered by funding obtained by Mission

Neighborhood Health Clinics. This value also includes the contractor’s overhead and profit.

Table 9. Development hard costs, key assumptions

{ DEVELOPMENT TIMELINE } 417 | DEVELOPMENT TIMELINELAND ACQUISITION

The first step in the development process will be to gain control of the land. Golden Bear Partners

intends to enter into negotiations with SFMTA and BART immediately following the acceptance of this

proposal. Golden Bear Partners intends to obtain control of the two parcels by the end of January

2013. Due to the land acquisition, a substantial completion date of June 30, 2015 is unrealistic for this

project site.

DESIGN DEVELOPMENT AND CONSULTANT REPORTS

Initial design development and the Geotechnical Investigation, Environmental Phase I, and

Archeological Management Plan will take approximately three months to complete. We intend to

get this work started at the end of 2012 and complete plans around the same time we close on the

land. We expect preconstruction service funding will be available near the end of the land acquisition

process.

SAN FRANCISCO PLANNING APPROVAL

Upon completion of the design development, we intend to submit to the San Francisco Planning

Commission. We expect to receive planning approvals approximately 6 months base on previous

experience on projects of this size and scope.

COMMUNITY OUTREACH

Our partner, Bernal Heights Neighborhood Center, will begin community outreach later this year. They

intend to involve the community by forming a Community Advisory Committee (CAC) to provide input

on the design and aesthetics of the building. It is our intention that the CAC will meet periodically with

the design team to serve as ambassadors of the community. We also will involve the larger community

through neighborhood meetings and design charrettes. This community outreach is not only intended

to get us through planning approvals, but also engage the community to let them know that we are in it

for the long haul.

FUNDING

In order to given ample time for our application to be processed for tax-exempt bond financing with 4%

tax credits, we intend to submit our applications in the fourth quarter of 2013. We anticipate a 90 day

close in order to commence construction in May of 2014.


CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENT PRODUCTION AND SAN FRANCISCO BUILDING DEPARTMENT

PERMITS

After approval from the San Francisco Planning department, we will proceed with construction

document production and the Building Department permits. We expect this process to be completed

in nine to twelve months.

CONSTRUCTION

We currently anticipate construction to start in May of 2014. We have worked with Cahill Contractors,

Inc. to develop an eighteen month construction schedule. This eighteen month construction schedule

is aided by the use of the prefabricated Pueblo Building Technologies® structural system, which will

save considerable time during the installation of the structural skeleton of the building. We currently

anticipate the completion of the construction to occur in October of 2015.

ADVERTISING, LOTTERY, AND LEASE-UP

The advertising for the lease-up will begin 12 months before the end of construction. A lottery will be

set-up and the units will be distributed through the lottery. We have allotted 4 months for the lease-up,

or 31 units per month. Leasing will begin after substantial completion.

Re: The Upper Yard – San Francisco, CA FOR ACADEMIC PURPOSES ONLY

Dear Greg, On behalf of Mission Neighborhood Health Center, I am pleased to write this letter in support of the Upper Yard development proposed by Golden Bear Partners. We would be grateful, as an organization, to team up with Golden Bear Partners in their development of The Upper Yard. Since we were established as an organization over 45 years ago, we have been dedicated to providing affordable health care to the residents of San Francisco. We feel that The Upper Yard site offers us the opportunity to provide greater accessibility to health care options in the Mission, Balboa Park, and Excelsior neighborhoods of San Francisco. Similar to other affordable housing/neighborhood clinic partnerships that have been successful here in San Francisco, we would be willing to provide the funding for the construction of the clinic space and our portion of the shared building utilities. Additionally, we would be responsible for covering the operating expenses of the clinic itself. We look forward to partnering with Golden Bear Partners to develop this exciting new project. Very Truly Yours,

Brenda Y. Storey CEO / Executive Director

May 14, 2012 Jacob Bintliff , Golden Bear Partners c/o University of California at Berkeley 545 Student Service Bldg #1900 Berkeley, CA 94720 Dear Jacob, On behalf of the San Francisco Department of Public Health (SFDPH) Environmental Health Program, I would like to commend the efforts of Golden Bears Partners in proposing a design for a development project at the upper MUNI Yard in San Francisco that carefully considers the environmental health impacts on building occupants in its design The Upper Yard has been a challenging site from an environmental health standpoint due to its close proximity to a major interstate highway. While we have not formally analyzed your design proposal, we can appreciate the diligent balancing of financial, physical, and environmental constraints in the proposed development and we are especially pleased to see the integrated application of our city’s Healthy Development Management Tool (HDMT) in the design process. The designers have employed several health protective mitigation strategies, including the location of building air intakes, the orientation of open space courtyards and balconies and the considered location of one-bedroom and family units within the building, and avoidance of locating vulnerable residents in the most exposed portions of the building. These strategies will serve to provide the much needed housing while minimizing the site’s health impacts. We applaud the Partners’ inclusion of a community health center at the site. The development opportunities at the Upper Yard site have been of keen interest to the Department as they have potential to represent a best practice model for other residential development sites near highways and other pollution sources. I was impressed that the Partners reached out to DPH early on in their design process to speak with my office about efforts and design strategies to mitigate the particulate and noise pollution impacts on the site and am pleased to offer my support of their efforts and approach to the site at this time. With regards,

Rajiv Bhatia, MD, MPH Director of Environmental Health

9. Income Restriction (See Section 5191 and Section 5192 of the CDLAC Regulations.) Minimum Requirement A minimum of ten percent (10%) of the units in a Qualified Residential Rental Project must have Gross Rents that are restricted to households with incomes no greater than fifty percent (50%) of the Area Median Income (AMI). All of the rent restricted units that meet this requirement, with the exception of Mixed Income Pool projects and units located on the upper level floors of high-rise developments, shall be generally distributed in terms of location and number of bedrooms throughout the project. All such units shall be of comparable quality and offer a range of sizes and number of bedrooms comparable to those units that are available to other tenants. For federally assisted at-risk projects and 4% low income housing tax credit projects, this shall mean that the Project units must have Gross Rents that are restricted to households whose incomes must be 50% or less of the AMI; or Gross Rents that are restricted to households whose incomes must be 60% or less of the AMI. (Consult Section 5170 of the CDLAC Regulations for the definition of “Gross Rents”.) Applications not meeting this minimum requirement will be deemed incomplete. Complete the tables in Item #6 of this PART III. The percentage in column “e” and “g” of Table 2 will be used to determine if the Project meets this minimum requirement. If the Project is to be substantially retrofitted for energy conservation or will be newly constructed with substantial energy conservation, utility allowances based upon the lower utility cost projected after construction or retrofit may be submitted. Such lower utility allowances must be validated by a public utility letter or public housing authority letter, which provides estimates that are adjusted for significant energy conservation sources.

Exceeding the Minimum Income Restrictions Point Category (Section 5230(c) of the CDLAC Regulations) (35 points maximum for non-Mixed Income Projects and 15 points maximum for Mixed Income Projects) Projects will earn points for the percentage of units that are restricted to household incomes at or below 50% of the AMI and between 51% and 60% of the AMI. Federally assisted at-risk projects and 4% low income housing tax credit project will earn points for the percentage of units that have Gross Rents restricted to household incomes at or below 50% of the AMI and between 51% and 60% of the AMI. The percentages in columns “e” and “g” of Table 2 in Item #6 of this PART III will be used to determine the points earned in this category.

10. Gross Rents Point Category (Section 5230(d) of the CDLAC Regulations)

All projects that are subject to the use of Gross Rents will earn 5 points in this category. All proposed projects that are not subject to the use of Gross Rents but voluntarily do so will earn 5 points in this category. Evidence of utility allowances shall be satisfied with a letter from the local housing authority that includes:

a. A certification that the proposed Project is located within its jurisdiction. (ref: IRS Final Regulations T.D. 8520) b. A current utility allowance schedule. c. An itemization of which components of the utility allowance schedule apply to the Project.

The documentation evidencing a utility allowance must be labeled Attachment O, or if more than one document, as O-1, O-2, etc. In addition, columns “e”, “f” and “g” of Table 1 in Item #6 of this PART III will be used to determine if points are earned in this category.

12. Market Study (Section 5200 of the CDLAC Regulations)

All Qualified Residential Rental Project applicants are required to submit a market study, labeled as Attachment P. Applications without a market study will be deemed incomplete. A full market study, prepared within 180 days of the application filing deadline, by an independent third party having no identity of interest with the development’s partners, intended partners, or general contractor, must be submitted with the Application. Market studies must include a 1-2 page summary of its findings, particularly with regard to comparable rental properties. The market study will be used to determine compliance with the minimum rent restriction requirement that restricted rents must be at least 10% below market rents (Section 5191(b) of the CDLAC Regulations). Please read the CDLAC Regulations posted on the Committee’s web site. Note: The unit rents and square footages of the subject property used throughout the Market Study, including all Rent Comparison matrices, must be consistent with the same information shown in Table 1 in this application.

13. Rent Restrictions

Minimum Requirement (Section 5191(b) of the CDLAC Regulations) The proposed tenant paid rents for each tax-exempt bond unit type in the proposed development will be at least ten percent (10%) below rents for the same unit types in the comparable market rate rental properties, as demonstrated by the market study (Attachment P) and the market study’s Rent Comparability Matrix, labeled as Attachment R. Applications not meeting this minimum requirement will be deemed incomplete. The information in columns “c”, “d” and “e” of Table 1 in Item #6 of this PART III must show the same proposed rents as the market study and will be used to determine if the Project meets this minimum requirement. Exceeding the Minimum Rent Restriction Point Category (Section 5230(e) of the CDLAC Regulations) Projects will earn points when the Restricted Rents for each tax-exempt bond unit types are at least 20% below the market rents for the same unit types, as demonstrated by the market study (Attachment P) and the market study’s Rent Comparability Matrix (Attachment R). Federally Assisted At Risk Projects and HOPE VI Projects that receive points for average rents that are at least 20% below market rents are not eligible for the points described in this point category. The information in columns “c”. “d”, and “e” of Table 1 in Item #6 of this PART III must show the same proposed rents as the market study and will be used to determine the points earned in this category. Federally Assisted At Risk Projects Point Category (Section 5230(b) of the CDLAC Regulations) Federally Assisted At Risk Projects and HOPE VI Projects will earn points when the Restricted Rents for each tax-exempt bond unit types are at least 20% below market rents for the same unit types, as demonstrated by the market study (Attachment P) and the market study’s Rent Comparability Matrix (Attachment R). (For this section, “restricted rents” means the average rental rate of all of the units regulated by a CTCAC Extended Low-Income Housing Commitment Agreement or other regulatory agreement if the Section 8 contract is discontinued). The information in columns “c”, “d” and “e” of Table 1 in Item #6 of this PART III must show the same proposed rents as the market study and will be used to determine the points earned in this category.

Submit a scaled-for-distance map, labeled as Attachment Q, showing the location of the proposed Project and the comparable market rental properties. The map must be legible and must clearly show the proposed Project at the center of a circle with a 1-mile radius.

14. Term of Income and Rent Restrictions (Section 5192 of the CDLAC Regulations) Minimum Term of Restrictions

The Qualified Project Period for the Project must be for at least 30 years. Projects that maintain the Qualified Project Period for longer than thirty (30) years will be awarded two (2) points for every five (5) years of affordability beyond thirty (30) years up to fifty-five (55) years.

E(1) Lowest Income Restriction for All UnitsThe “Percent of Area Median Income” category may be used only once. For instance, 50% of Income Targeted Units to Total Tax

Credit Units at 50% of Area Median Income (AMI) cannot be used twice for 100% at 50% and receive 50 points, nor can 50% of

Income Targeted Units to Total Tax Credit Units at 50% of Area Median Income for 25 points and 40% of Income Targeted Units

to Total Units at 50% of Area Median Income be used for an additional 20 points. However, the “Percent of Income Targeted Units”

may be used multiple times. For example, 50% of Targeted Units at 50% of Area Median Income for 25 points may be combined

with another 50% of Targeted Units at 45% of Area Median Income to achieve the maximum points. All projects must score at least

45 points in this category to be eligible for 9% Tax Credit.

*Only projects competing in the Rural Set-aside may use the 55% AMI column and selected targeting in the 50% AMI column.

A home is only GreenPoint Rated if all features are verified by a Certified GreenPoint Rater through Build It Green.

The GreenPoint Rated checklist tracks green features incorporated into the home. GreenPoint Rated is provided as a public service by Build It Green, a professional non-profit whose mission is to promote healthy, energy and resource efficient buildings in California. The minimum requirements for a GreenPoint Rated home are: Earn a total of 50 points or more; obtain the following minimum points per category: Community (6), Energy (30), Indoor Air Quality/Health (5), Resources (6), and Water (3); and meet the prerequisites A2a, E2a, H4a. (for 2008 permitted projects), J1a, N1. and Q0.

This checklist accommodates the verification of mandatory CALGreen measures but does not signify compliance unless accepted by jurisdictional authority. All CALGreen measures within the checklist must be selected as "Yes" or "n/a" for compliance with GreenPoint Rated. Build It Green is not a code enforcement agency.

The green building practices listed below are described in the GreenPoint Rated Multifamily Rating Manual. For more information please visit www.builditgreen.org/greenpointrated.
