1 A Sustainable Future for Treasure Island Commission on the Environment November 28, 2006

2 TICD A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE FOR TREASURE ISLAND TI Sustainability Plan Vision and guiding principles Focus areas Strategies and targets Key delivery partners Implementation plan Design guidelines A Sustainable Future for Treasure Island TICD Exhibit K Sustainability Plan / October 2006

3 TICD A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE FOR TREASURE ISLAND Incorporating Sustainability into Treasure Island: A Triple Bottom Line Approach Environmental Stewardship Designed to preserve natural resources and reduce environmental impacts. Social Benefits A vibrant, compact, livable community with a strong sense of place and housing choices for different income levels. Economic Vitality Stimulates job growth and new small businesses. Employs resource efficient strategies that will reduce basic household expenditures.

4 TICD A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE FOR TREASURE ISLAND Vision and Guiding Principles Community Development “diverse group of people working together”… “equity in access to facilities, services and environmental quality”… “foster human potential and self-reliance” Thriving Ecosystems “interdependent with that of the San Francisco Bay”... “reestablishing biodiversity and indigenous species”… “greater understanding of our role within the natural world” Healthy Neighborhoods “development that privileges bikeability and walkability”… “preserves open space, fosters local organic agriculture”… “dense, mixed-use development adjacent to transit centers” Affordable Solutions “partnership between public and private investment”… “affordable, contributes to the economy of the City” …“mixed income community that promotes social justice” Global Responsibility “embraces its interconnectivity with the global community”… “effects on other communities and ecologies” Integrated Design / Lasting Beauty “beautiful, intelligent, anticipatory, adaptable designs”… “enduring asset for future generations”… “measured in centuries, not decades”… Public Participation / Transparency “process that is transparent, participatory and fully informed by the social, economic and environmental value of every action”… “select the alternative that best promotes human and ecological health”

5 TICD A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE FOR TREASURE ISLAND Unique Aspects of Process Multi-stakeholder approach Vision and guiding principles led by the City Integration of other key plans (land use, infrastructure, transportation, housing, etc.) Acknowledgement of TICD responsibilities and key delivery partners Best practices underpinned by economic analysis

6 TICD A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE FOR TREASURE ISLAND Unique Aspects of Plan Cascading approach “At a glance” table Visual representation of resource flows Key Performance Indicators Unique method to evaluate progress Flexibility to incorporate future innovation Alignment with other frameworks

7 TICD A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE FOR TREASURE ISLAND Focus Areas Site Design and Land Use Landscape and Biodiversity Transportation Energy Water and Wastewater Materials Health Safety and Security Community and Society Economic Development

8 TICD A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE FOR TREASURE ISLAND Sustainability At a Glance p. 12 through 15

9 TICD A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE FOR TREASURE ISLAND Site Design and Land Use Innovative and Sustainable Urban Design

10 TICD A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE FOR TREASURE ISLAND Site Design and Land Use A Compact, Walkable Community 90-100 homes per acre | 56% open space | less infrastructure p35 radii image

11 TICD A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE FOR TREASURE ISLAND Site Design and Land Use Responsive to Microclimate solar orientation | wind protection p27 solar orientation

12 TICD A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE FOR TREASURE ISLAND Landscape and Biodiversity Restoring ecosystems and protecting biodiversity creation of open space | regionally appropriate landscaping | IPM

13 TICD A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE FOR TREASURE ISLAND Transportation A model for clean, efficient mobility systems 15 minute walk to transit hub | mode shift to ferries | bike friendly | incentives

14 TICD A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE FOR TREASURE ISLAND Energy Designed to minimize demand energy efficient buildings | centralized heating and cooling | title 24 exceeded by 20%

15 TICD A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE FOR TREASURE ISLAND Proposed Energy Supply

16 TICD A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE FOR TREASURE ISLAND Energy Reliance on clean, renewable sources of power 100% renewable grid source supply | maximize on-site renewables | export energy during peak hours

17 TICD A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE FOR TREASURE ISLAND Reduced Carbon Footprint Reduced emissions from energy and transportation 60% reduction of CO 2 emissions from baseline conditions TI Existing 7,740 lbs / year / resident TI 2018 3,030 lbs / year / resident

18 TICD A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE FOR TREASURE ISLAND Water and Wastewater Living within the water budget Reduce potable water consumption by 20% | Treat stormwater & 100% wastewater on-site | Maximize use of gray water

19 TICD A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE FOR TREASURE ISLAND Solid Waste Eliminating the concept of waste composting on-island | 100% diversion by 2020 | minimize generation | maximize reuse

20 TICD A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE FOR TREASURE ISLAND Materials Reducing Embodied Energy and Toxicity of Materials adaptive reuse | local procurement | recycled & renewable materials

21 TICD A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE FOR TREASURE ISLAND Health, Safety and Security Safeguarding health and minimizing risks remediation of contamination | climate change, flooding, seismic risks | emergency support

22 TICD A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE FOR TREASURE ISLAND Community and Society A strong, self-sufficient, diverse community recreation | arts & education | transparency | community services

23 TICD A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE FOR TREASURE ISLAND Economic Development and Viability A financially self-sufficient community & economically viable redevelopment 30% affordable housing | job opportunities for residents | no net impact on city’s general fund

24 TICD A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE FOR TREASURE ISLAND Sustainability Reference Masterplan Committed to LEED ND gold certification (good faith efforts to achieve platinum level) Supports the intent of the Urban Environmental Accords Buildings Treasure Island green building specifications –Applies to all new buildings (first in city) –Condition of approval for building permits –Derived from LEED NC Standards –Developed with SF Environment

25 TICD A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE FOR TREASURE ISLAND Green Building Specifications For Residential, Commercial, and Hotel Buildings –Energy efficiency (20% better than Title 24) –Renewable energy (5% of peak energy demand) –Indoor environmental quality (low emissions and toxicity) –Daylight and views (75% of spaces) –Natural ventilation (residential buildings and hotel) –Water efficiency (20% reduction potable water use) –Materials (recycled 10%, regional 20%, preference for renewables and certified wood) –Ozone depleting substances (eliminated) –Lighting (low energy, high efficiency, light pollution reduction)

26 TICD A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE FOR TREASURE ISLAND Implementation Plan Assessing Sustainability Performance 01234 No awareness or attention Focus on use Demand reduction Resource efficiency and reduction of impacts Focus on source or supply Use of renewables or continual renewal Systems thinking Integration and continual improvement, feedback loops Zero impact Regenerative state

27 TICD A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE FOR TREASURE ISLAND Sustainability Dashboard 2006 2013 2018 2028
