DRAFT OPEN SPACE PLAN

INGLESIDE LIBRARY

UNITY PLAZA

Balboa Reservoir community is committed to deep sustainability, addressing economic, social, & environmental goals:

1 Provide housing options that serve a diverse, mixed income neighbohood including 50% affordable housing, a mix of rental and ownership opportunities, and a majority of family oriented units with 2 or more bedrooms

2 4 acres of publicly accessible open space including a 2-acre central park serving the larger community

3 Walkable Transited-Oriented Neighborhood with direct connections to shopping, City College, and transit

4 Green House Gas Neutral through a combination of efficiency, onsite renewables and participation in green energy programs

5 Stewardship of water resources including grey-water reuse and stormwater management integrated with open space

6 Opportunities for residents and neighbors to collaborate in creating a sustainable neighborhood model through onsite food production, management of energy consumption, mobility choices and waste management

SF SUSTAINABLE NEIGHBORHOODS & PRINCIPLES

• Noticeably innovative, high-quality, healthy

• Beyond building scale

• Robust Partnerships: community, de-velopers, public agencies

• Exceed requirements & support City goals

• Measurable baselines & targets

CAC SUSTAINABILITY PRINCIPLES

Principle #1 | ENERGY

Building on the City’s robust energy efficiency requirements, reduce or eliminate greenhouse gas (GHG) emis-sions from new buildings to the greatest extent feasible. Maximize the use of renewable energy (generated on the Balboa Reservoir site, to the extent feasible) and realize 100% of electricity in all new development from re-newable (GHG-free) sourcesPrinciple #2 | WATER

Building on the City’s robust water efficiency requirements, maximize non-potable water use in buildings and open spacesPrinciple #3 | STORMWATER

Optimize onsite stormwater management to improve water quality, minimize potential for urban flooding, and help prevent overflows of the City’s combined sewage system into the Bay Principle #4 | ECOLOGY / GREENING

Connect all residents, workers, and visitors to nature by maximizing habitat supportive trees and landscapingPrinciple #5 | AIR QUALITY

Support a healthy environment by reducing indoor and outdoor air quality impacts (from toxins in building mate-rials, smoking, cruising for parking, and vehicle idling). Building design and materials should address the neigh-borhood microclimate and fog (i.e., mold preventative strategies)Principle #6 | SOLID WASTE

Achieve the City’s Zero Waste goal and a litter-free public realm

To support these goals, the Reservoir is participating in San Francisco’s Sustainable Neighborhood Program which seeks to coordinate environmental efforts among San Francisco’s many evolving neighborhoods

Notes: Some portions of routes may not be ideal for bicycles due to conditions such as steep topography, stairs or trails.

The proposed network falls mostly on public rights of way, but occasionally deviates onto public properties such as park lands.

INGLESIDE SPECIES: COAST LIVE OAK/ CALIFORNIA BUCKEYE

Stop by for a Recharge! What if there were a California Buckeye (Aesculus californica) and Coast Live Oak (Quercus agrifolia) on every city block? Coast Live Oaks support a vast array of insect life. More species of small moth larvae feed on Coast Live Oaks, for example, than any other plant species on the San Francisco peninsula. These mighty oaks and their associated insects are indispensable to many migratory songbird species that pass through San Francisco and rely on it for shelter and food. Our resident Western Scrub Jay (Aphelocoma californica) helps with planting new trees – scrub jays horde away several thousand acorns per season, and when they forget to recover their food stash, an oak tree is born. California Buckeye, on the other hand have been called the ‘gas station for butterflies’. The pale pink, nectar-rich flowers bloom in thick upright spires from late May through July and feed adult butterflies of all sizes and colors. Also, Buckeyes, among other San Francisco wild trees and shrubs, are the larval food plant for Spring Azure (Celastrina ladon) butterflies!

RESIDENT OR MIGRATORY

Resident

KEY HABITAT FEATURES

Inhabits well drained soils of coastal hills and plains / Buckeyes grow in a range of conditions from crowded, moist, semi-shaded upper creek banks to canyon bottoms to south-facing slopes and hilltops – needs underground water source.

DIET

Coast live oaks host more species of small moths, for example, than any other plant species on the San Francisco peninsula. Buckeye pale pink flowers in June and July are a rich nectar source for many species of butterflies.

ASSOCIATED PLANTS & ANIMALS

Mountain Lilac – Ceanothus ‘Ray Hartman’, California Wild Grape – Vitis californica ‘Roger’s Red’/California Dogwood – Cornus sericea ssp. occidentalis, Twinberry Honeysuckle – Lonicera involucrata”Chestnut-backed Chickadee.

Butterflies of many varieties. Host plant for Spring Azure. Scrub jays may bury several thousand acorns in one season. By hiding and sometimes forgetting about their food stashes, Scrub Jays are planting future trees. Oak trees are especially valuable to the many species of migratory birds that are in San Francisco for only part of the year.

NESTING INFORMATION

The oak woodland community may also include toyons, pink flowering currant, oso berry, coffee berry and many other species. Buckeye grows intermingled with Valley Oak, Oregon Oak, Coast Live Oak and California Bay Laurel. Can be found standing alone in grassland at the lowest elevations, intermingled in Blue Oak woodlands at intermediate elevations, and in mixed evergreen forests of Black oak, Digger Pine, Ponderosa Pine and Interior Live Oak as it nears the limit of its range.

PEDESTRIAN NETWORKThe Reservoir plan establishes a fundamental priority in favor of walking and biking,

by limiting automobile access to a simple loop. A multitude of pathway options into

and through the site provide convenient access to community facilities, childcare cen-

ter, and resident amenity spaces located at activity nodes within the park. Additionally,

there are multiple pedestrian connections linking outward to Ocean Avenue, transpor-

tation, and neighborhood destinations.

BICYCLE NETWORKDedicated bike lanes will be provided on Lee Avenue linking to the Holloway Avenue

Bike Route and a connection will be made to the bike lanes on Frida Kahlo Way. Class

III bike lanes (sharrows) will be provided at the slower moving loop roads. A generous

bike share station is proposed adjacent to the central open space.
