The Committee meets monthly and is Co-chaired by Andy Barnes and Jay Paxton. If you are interested in joining the Committee, please contact Andy Barnes at wbarnes800@earthlink.net (415) 882-1600.
Our projects include:
UrbanMap
UrbanMap is a resource for development industry professionals, policy makers, and smart growth advocates that provides a wide range of Bay Area land use data all in one place. UrbanMap is free and simple to use, and we welcome feedback and ideas. Please visit UrbanMap.
California 2020
A diverse group of civic leaders, environmentalists, business leaders, planners, affordable housing advocates, and builders, covened by the ULI San Francisco District Concil, has prepared a draft paper setting forth goals and principals for improving quality of life in California through responsible land use decision-making. The draft, entitled "California 2020" outlines growth challenges and proposes a set of high-priority actions. Please view a copy of California 2020.
TOD MarketPlace
Connecting Developers and Cities to Transit-Oriented Development.
First launched in September 2006, the annual TOD MarketPlace brings city officials and developers together around transit-oriented plans and development opportunities. Over the next decade, the Bay Area will spend over $10 billion in transit investments. We have created a one-day intensive forum for exchange of best practices and TOD-plans feedback sessions. We co-sponsor the TOD MarketPlace with the Metropolitan Transportation Commission, the Association of Bay Area Governments, Reconnecting America and the Non-Profit Housing Association of Northern California.
For more information on TOD MarketPlace, please see http://www.todmarketplace.org/. The 2008 Final Report is available here.
