UCSF Mount Zion Proposed Garage 2420 Sutter Street November 18, 2010 1
UCSF Mount Zion UCSF Comprehensive Cancer Center -- only comprehensive cancer center in Northern California, designated by the National Cancer Institute, part of the National Institutes of Health Women s Health Center -- only nationally designated Center of Excellence in Women s Health in Northern California Dialysis Center, Osher Center for Integrative Medicine, Pain Management Center, Sleep Disorders Center, and more As a world-renowned academic medical center, UCSF attracts patients from within San Francisco, the Bay Area, and beyond Many patients are seriously ill and require highly-specialized care Outpatient visits at Mount Zion: about 285,000 annually, or 1,140/day Inpatient beds at Mount Zion: 90 Over 1,300 employees 2
UCSF Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Program - Overview Mt. Zion-based employees taking alternative transportation at Mt. Zion about 65% Vanpools 372 average daily riders Bus Club 141 average daily riders Carpools 69 members Rideshare Matching 1,260 (Zimride) Car Share 1,370 members Shuttle Bus Program 2.3 million boardings/yr Bicycle Parking 807 bike racks On-site Transit Pass Sales 25,000 passes/yr Pretax transit program 1,740 3
UCSF Parking Supply Parking supply in Mount Zion area is extremely constrained UCSF controls limited supply of about 218 parking spaces for over 1,300 employees at Mount Zion: - 150 spaces at 1701 Divisadero - 21 spaces at Bush/Scott parking lot - 47 spaces (approx) at 2325 Post (space is back on line mid-december, closed during Osher construction) Available parking spaces are prioritized for essential healthcare providers In addition, provision to park 137 vehicles at 1635 Divisadero are available to UCSF through an easement and options agreement for space occupied at 2330 Post St. 4
UCSF Parking Supply Currently UCSF has no supply of parking spaces for patients or visitors, and relies on other neighborhood garages but has no control over those spaces. Starting 1/1/11, approximately 50 spaces in the 1701 Div. garage will be converted to patient/visitor use due to increased patient demand with clinic moves to Mt. Zion. Displaced employees will shift temporarily to other locations. UCSF s patients and visitors park in neighborhood garages (they are directed to 1635 Divisidero garage) and on the street Nearby parking facilities are at or near capacity during peak times UCSF cannot rely on neighborhood parking facilities being available in the indefinite future 5
UCSF Parking Demand UCSF demand for parking exceeds its supply and is growing UCSF existing demand by both patients/visitors and employees is estimated at over 700 Parking demand will increase due to: - new Osher Building (to open Dec. 2010) - other departmental moves to Mount Zion - potentially more intensive uses backfilling inpatient cancer beds moving to Mission Bay 6
UCSF Parking Demand Patients and visitors need parking because: 68% of inpatients and 45% of outpatients at Mount Zion come from outside San Francisco. Many of them have serious illnesses. Alternative transportation, such as public transit, bicycling, or walking, are not always feasible for patients due to: - compromised health - mobility problems - travel distance Children receiving primary care at Mount Zion are taken by parents who may need to drive 7
UCSF Parking Demand Essential healthcare providers need parking because: Additional 97 (approx.) essential healthcare providers moving to Mount Zion (added population = 212) Essential healthcare providers required to provide healthcare on 24-hr/7-day basis. Many essential healthcare providers have responsibilities at multiple medical centers including the VA and SFGH. 8
Benefits to Community Garage will provide additional parking in neighborhood Garage will help alleviate pressure on neighborhood street parking Transportation Demand Management office in garage will promote use of alternative forms of transportation for UCSF employees, patients, visitors and general public (ridesharing, pre-tax transit, Clipper Card, BART tickets) 9

Environmental Review CEQA = California Environmental Quality Act University of California is Lead Agency Responsible for carrying out project Responsible for preparing CEQA document Purposes of CEQA Inform governmental decision-makers and the public about potential significant environmental effects of proposed activities Identify ways to avoid or reduce significant impacts Prevent significant impacts by requiring feasible mitigation measures or alternatives CEQA documents are informational, not an approval 39
Environmental Review Levels of CEQA Review Negative Declaration ( Neg Dec ) No significant adverse environmental impacts Significant adverse environmental impacts may be reduced or eliminated with mitigation measures Environmental Impact Report ( EIR ) Potential for significant adverse environmental impacts Could prepare Negative Declaration because no significant adverse impacts expected, but will exceed requirements by preparing EIR 40
