San Jose is a large, complex and multi-faceted city.

Historically a colorful quilt of privately-owned farmland, San Jose transformed from its agricultural roots into the 10th largest city (by population ) in the USA, and 3rd largest city in California following Los Angeles and San Diego.

PRESIDENT’S LETTER

Urban Planning & Architecture Urban Planning is the focus of this month’s issue of Tracings. No doubt you’ve all heard the news that for the first time in history, over half of the world’s population lives in cities instead of suburban or rural locales. (…if not, where have you been?)

The city is the place where the future is happening.

No longer can the majority of the population live in the outskirts and avoid the city center. This just isn’t sustainable with gasoline prices at the pump nearing $5 per gallon and roadways becoming more and more congested. To keep your commute to under an hour and keep more of your income in your pocket, it’s becoming more and more necessary to live in the city and not in the country.

Santa Clara Valley and San Jose has a place in this urban revolution. We are the third largest city in California (the largest state in the nation) and SJ is the tenth largest city in the country.

San Jose’s latest version of the General Plan – Envision San Jose 2040 - lays out 12 major strategies for growth in the heart of Santa Clara Valley.

Here is a quote from the City of San Jose’s General Plan: …”Strategy #5 is the promotion of “Urban Villages” – These are active, walkable, bicycle friendly, transitoriented, mixed use settings for new housing and job growth attractive to an innovative workforce and consistent with the Plan’s environmental goals. Urban Villages will enable the location of commercial and public services in close proximity to residential and employee populations, allowing people to walk to services while also providing greater mobility for the

expanding senior and youth segments of the population. The Urban Villages Strategy fosters: • Mixing residential and employment activities • Establishing minimum densities to support transit use, bicycling and walking • High-quality urban design • Revitalizing underutilized properties with access to existing infrastructure • Engaging local neighborhoods through an Urban Village Planning process This new strategy of creating Urban Villages in the midst of suburban sprawl is a move toward sustainability and growing the population in areas that already have services in place to meet the needs of this growth.

As architects, our own role in the growth of the urban environment is to embrace the challenge of creating higher density livable communities that help meet the needs of a growing population. We must understand the unique relationships between living, working, educating, playing, commuting, food production, waste management, energy creation… and many other components. It is our role to participate in shaping this new urban place that will function at a higher level and yet use less of our precious natural resources.

We have many partners in this pursuit. Of course, the real estate development and banking communities are players in this arena. Likewise, our elected officials, educational institutions and corporate & business leaders are involved. Organizations such as The

Joshua Aidlin, AIA Aidlin Darling Design Joshua Aidlin is a founding partner of Aidlin Darling Design, formed with David Darling in 1998. He brings over twenty five years of design experience in architecture, interiors, furniture design and sculpture.

Aidlin Darling Design rigorously explores design across a wide range of scales, programs and disciplines with the goal of enabling poetic, sustainable and appropriate solutions. The firm has been twice selected as a National Design Award Finalist for Interior Design by the Smithsonian’s Cooper- Hewitt National Design Museum. Additionally, the firm has been awarded over forty regional, national and international design awards in the past two years, including an AIA/ COTE Top Ten Green Project Award, an international Civic Trust Award, a National IIDA Interior Design Award, and a James Beard Award.

Mr. Aidlin’s work explores the principles of design for multi-sensory human experiences through a broad range of project scales including research and development for Herman Miller, the design of a rustic yet urban artisanal restaurant, and the adaptive re-use of an industrial historic structure for a media arts cultural center. Mr. Aidlin’s dedication to design is augmented by his lifelong interest in the arts and by his strong sense of responsibility towards the environment. Through public and private projects, Joshua has developed relationships with artists and art

collectors, and has gained a comprehensive understanding of art and the environment in which it is both made and experienced. His tireless pursuit of sustainable design has been recognized locally, nationally and abroad through various publications, lectures and symposia. His recently completed work includes the first LEED NC Gold commercial building in San Francisco and a LEED CI Platinum restaurant.

Mr. Aidlin’s current work includes a contemplative chapel on the campus of Stanford University, a new residence on a nature preserve near Carmel, a multidisciplinary arts center for underprivileged youth, and a new waterfront residence in Belvedere overlooking San Francisco Bay.

Anne Fougeron, FAIA Principal, Fougeron Architecture

Anne Fougeron is principal of Fougeron Architecture in San Francisco. Born of French parents and raised in Paris and New York, she credits her bicultural upbringing as the source of her aesthetic values: a European respect for historic precedent and a comfort level with melding old and new. After earning a B.A. in architectural history at Wellesley College, and a Master of Architecture degree at the University of California, Berkeley, she worked for San Francisco architect and urban designer, Daniel Solomon, for three years, an experience that informed her awareness of the interplay between buildings and the urban environment.

In 1986 she founded Fougeron Architecture, designing award-winning, private-and-public-sector projects, that have made an original statement – in a decidedly modernistic vocabulary. Fougeron has taught architectural design to undergraduate and graduate students at the University of California, Berkeley.

Redefining Town Square Gensler’s Innovative Firmwide Initiative Gensler’s Town Square initiative seeks to generate project ideas in the cities in which they practice and beyond. By reacquainting themselves with their cities, they can learn why it has become what it is now and deepen their understanding of what it could become in the future.

The Plan: Form a cross-practice collaboration within each of Gensler’s offices, which will bring unique sensitivities to the problem. Each team will generate a list of possible projects. These proposals should carry visionary ambition without losing sight of the realities of each city.

The Goal: Generate ideas, concepts and interventions that can be funded and supported within today’s cities while demonstrating a vision for the sustainable cities of tomorrow. Each team will identify an urban public open space, initiative or system project that the team is passionate about.

Gensler’s San Jose office is utilizing the Redefining Town Square Initiative as an opportunity to connect deeper with its surrounding community, and to gain insight into how their efforts may help downtown San Jose become a vibrant and innovative destination with a readily visible identity. The impressive work and efforts including, but not exclusive to the City Planning/Design Committee and San Jose Downtown Tracings

The Theme: How cities create and support community-supporting places - town squares, commons, and “third places”.

URBAN PLANNING

Urban Planning from Our Perspective At Joint Venture Silicon Valley, we see urban planning as a local issue in a regional framework – individual manifestations of common ideals.

A major priority for Joint Venture is to work with cities on the rejuvenation of State Highway 82 -- El Camino Real -- from Daly City (where it is called Mission Street) to San Jose (where it is The Alameda). The

Grand Boulevard Initiative (GBI) is led by a partnership of the San Mateo County Transit District (SamTrans), Santa Clara Transportation Authority (VTA), San Mateo City/County Association of Governments (C/CAG), SAMCEDA (San Mateo

Economic Development Association), and Joint Venture.

The vision of GBI is that “El Camino Real will achieve its full potential for residents to work, live, shop, and play, creating links between communities that promote walking and transit and an improved and meaningful quality of life.” Most importantly, the goals that our region’s cities set themselves have built a larger framework, the Guiding Principles, to which the overall initiative aspires: 1. Target housing and job growth in strategic areas along the corridor 2. Encourage compact mixed-use development and high-quality urban design and construction 3. Create a pedestrian-oriented environment and improve streetscapes, ensuring full access to and between public areas and private developments 4. Develop a balanced multimodal corridor to maintain and improve mobility of people and vehicles along the corridor 5. Manage parking assets 6. Provide vibrant public spaces and gathering places 7. Preserve and accentuate unique and desirable community character and the existing quality of life in adjacent neighborhoods 8. Improve safety and public health

9. Strengthen pedestrian and bicycle connections with the corridor 10. Pursue environmentally sustainable and economically viable development patterns While each city will implement the principles differently to fit local conditions, we believe that longterm improvement of the corridor will come from the judicious applications of shared principles.

www.jointventure.org goals – and what we risk by not taking a more regional approach. We look forward to sharing the results of this inquiry in our 2013 Index of Silicon Valley.

Similarly, the Silicon Valley Economic Development Alliance (EDA) is a collaboration of local economic development officers who share a goal of promoting the region, but have differing priorities for growth in their own communities. The EDA looks at key business clusters, such as cleantech and life sciences, and recognizes that each driving industry has a variety of supporting industries behind it – from manufacturing to professional services. While not every city will have all types of businesses, the region as a whole benefits from success in the clusters. And that means more development overall.

At the Silicon Valley regional level, we think there are some solid foundations for collaboration and policy development, and we’ll keep working on them. When it comes to the larger Bay Area, we have questions – and we’re exploring them now. We have partnered with SPUR to analyze key issues facing us, including land use development patterns, transportation systems, and the challenges presented by climate change, to help us determine if there are better means to achieve our

Innovation through Integration: Urban Planning and Real Estate in the 21st Century Changes are afoot in the fields of urban planning and real estate development, and the implications are exciting. In order to manage and enhance an increasingly built-out urban landscape in an economically, socially, and environmentally sustainable manner, it is essential that urban planners and real estate professionals collaborate in all aspects of development.

As an in-house urban planning analyst for a local real estate investment company, it has become clear to me that integrating each discipline’s way of thinking into the other is a win-win situation, yielding more effective solutions across the board. For example, sharing real estate development experience with city staff and elected officials about successful parking ratios, commercial ceiling heights, or storefront design, can help local government make more informed decisions about zoning changes or resource allocation to retail districts. In turn, an urban planning perspective can help developers realize that improving pedestrian accessibility or public gathering space can yield significant benefits both to nearby real estate holdings and to the community.

Unfortunately, these two sectors have often been siloed; they are traditionally taught and practiced

separately, often breeding disconnect and misunderstanding. Yet urban planning and real estate are inextricably linked and are each critical to the other’s success. Both professions are motivated to create a successful and enduring built environment, which requires a deep understanding of the political, economic, environmental, and land use context of a place.

Both planners and developers are keenly aware that whether buildings, infrastructure, or open space, projects must be appropriately placed and programmed else they fail - either the investors and tenants in the case of developers, or to the taxpaying community in the case of planners. Although the metrics for success are measured somewhat differently - planners may look for public benefit while developers may look to market returns integrating both can reveal a more comprehensive picture of how and where to allocate public and private investment in the built environment.

Integrating Urban Planning into Real Estate Development Real estate professionals can benefit from standard urban planning approaches in several ways. To best assess where and how to prioritize real estate investment, it is important to understand local planning and political processes. Keeping abreast of local politics, understanding the goals and priorities of the local government, and maintaining positive relationships with elected officials and city staff, can greatly inform the private sector’s decisions about existing and future development opportunities.

Second, adopting an urban planning attitude of “doing what’s right” rather

than simply “doing what’s profitable” can go a long way towards creating successful development projects. It is useful conceptually to expand the client base for a development project to include the local community, regardless of the project’s actual function. Projects that have the support of the community often get approved faster, may require fewer costly revisions, and may be more likely to be well-regarded and thus increasingly desirable for occupants over time. Doing what’s right can often result in truly context-appropriate projects that are more likely to be successful over the long term.

Third, particularly here in Silicon Valley it will be the real estate professionals who embrace the interdisciplinary approach and comprehensive scope of urban planning, who will be able to create projects that endure successfully - in other words that are well suited to place, time, and community. Today the ramifications of ill-fitting commercial, office, and residential projects are ubiquitous, in the form of vacancies, high turnover, and bankruptcy. Thinking holistically and innovatively about not just conventional return on investment but also the quality of the pedestrian environment, transit access, proximity to open space, and local government priorities, may help make the difference between a short-lived problematic development project and one that continues to flourish over time.

Integrating Real Estate into Urban Planning In turn, “urban planning 2.0” must collaborate with and value the development community as an important ally in our collective quest to better the built environment. With the dissolution of redevelopment agencies and with cities still cashstrapped by Proposition 13, city planners must increasingly turn to public private partnerships (P3s) to achieve innovative and effective projects. Private development projects can typically be constructed more quickly and cost-effectively than public projects, and private funding can supplement limited public resources on projects.

www.ulisf.org/get-involved/south-bay/ Additionally, planners should better recognize and incorporate feedback from developers regarding their experience with project entitlements and permits.

Developers have lived and breathed their projects and have valuable feedback about how zoning, land use, incentives and limitations influence development, and whether or not these planning tools actually have their intended effect on the built environment. Developers can recommend ways to streamline existing processes, and have the experience to insightfully critique local government policies that may be misguided or shortsighted. As a whole, the urban planning community would do well to solicit more feedback from local real estate voices, to ensure that it is optimally allocating finite public resources to the best projects that will yield the greatest positive change in the community.

The 21st century is seeing greater interdisciplinary collaboration across nearly all disciplines, as the complexity of problems in our built and natural environment increases. In the face of a sluggish economy, increasing urban population density, changing demographics, and climate change, the stewards of the built environment - planners, architects, engineers, developers - must work together to ensure that our future cities are economically, socially, and environmentally sustainable.

www.spur.org

SPUR - San Francisco Planning and Urban Research Association About SPUR San Jose SPUR San Jose launched in January 2012 and is located within the office of 1stACT Silicon Valley. Our goal is to promote good planning and good government in San Jose through research, education and advocacy. We approach this work by bringing together a broad spectrum of people who share our interests in urbanism to work on the most important issues and opportunities facing northern California's largest city.

Building on a century of urban policy work, this is the first foray SPUR has made into a city outside of San Francisco. We will experiment with novel approaches to policy change, new ways to convene thought leaders and creative strategies for making a positive impact on the city. We will be facilitating a series of public events starting in late spring 2012 and will begin undertaking focused policy studies later in the year.

Join our movement!

Bay Area Cities Adjust to Life After Redevelopment

The renovation of the California Theater was one of San Jose's many downtown redevelopment projects.

Redevelopment agencies across the state closed their doors on February 1, marking the end of an era for planning in California. SPUR has written previously about what the end of redevelopment means for the state. But how are the Bay Area’s central cities — San Francisco, Oakland and San Jose — dismantling their agencies? What’s going to happen to the on-going projects and existing assets held by redevelopment agencies? Is this the last word — or will we witness the creation of other planning tools to do some of the work that was previously done by redevelopment agencies?

San Jose Established in 1956, the San Jose Redevelopment Agency (SJRA) invested billions of dollars in four program goals: 1.

Creating jobs and expanding business through investments in projects such as Cisco’s campus in North San Jose and Adobe’s headquarters in the downtown, 2.

Building public facilities such as the Repertory Theater and the 4th Street Parking Garage, 3.

Developing and preserving affordable and market rate housing and 4.

Strengthening neighborhoods through the Strong Neighborhoods Initiative and Neighborhood Business Districts.

The agency used the tax increment from its roughly 19,000 acres of designated redevelopment areas to borrow against and reinvest in other areas. In doing so in an arguably overly robust way, they became the state’s second largest redevelopment agency as

measured by tax revenue, and the City of San Jose’s “go to” for funding and approval of almost all major projects in the last several decades.

The SJRA began planning for its own shuttering a few years ago when the state began withdrawing funds from all redevelopment agencies. With the realization that it was overleveraged and would be unable to continue even if the option to “pay to play” was made available, the agency began reducing its workforce from 119 employees in 2009 to 10 employees today — just enough to manage its obligations on $3.8 billion of remaining debt. The San Jose City Council took its final action to end the agency in late January by: 1.

Creating an official successor agency to manage the majority of the remaining debt, 2.

Naming the city manager as the executive officer of the successor agency and 3.

Creating the Successor Agency Fund, which allows the city to take over the debts of the affordable housing assets and activities that had been funded by the SJRA. Because of the SJRA’s debt obligations, it will be decades before any tax increment is available to Santa Clara County or the state.

The end of redevelopment in San Jose will have farreaching and likely yet unknown impacts, and there are many questions still to be answered. What happens to the Strong Neighborhood designations and areas of investment? How will the San Jose Department of Housing replace the 20 percent of its budget that came from SJRA affordable housing funds? How will the City of San Jose continue to provide the necessary infrastructure in downtown and offer incentives for future development?

Session I: Success With Tile: The TCNA Handbook and New Glass Tile Standards Instructor: Greg Mowat, FCSI, CDT, CTC, CMRS, CFC. Changes and expansion of the 2012 TCNA Handbook have increased the size fourfold from the 2009 TCNA Handbook. Special emphasis in materials has separated stone tile from glass tile and ceramic tile methods and assemblies. In this session Greg will educate attendees on using the current TCNA Handbook for Ceramic. Glass, and Stone Tile Installation. The many changes to the handbook will be reviewed. Tile types, substrates, patterns, joint width, warpage and specifications will be covered. New tolerances for flatness depending on tile size, lippage tolerances, new ISO specifications, membranes, and wet areas will be discussed. Green Building Standards with respect to tile will be reviewed. Also, Greg will focus on the new glass tile ANSI Standards, and particulars with specifying and working with glass tile.

Session 2: What You Are Not Being Told About Natural Stone Instructor: David Bonasera: CTC, CSI In this session David will educate attendees on the current state of the stone market and new products that are all being sold as â&#x20AC;&#x153;natural stoneâ&#x20AC;?. Discuss the current TCNA Handbook for Ceramic, Glass and Stone Tile Installation related to stone and the intricacies of working with stone materials. A variety of stone enhancements are appearing in the U.S. Discussion will also cover resin enhanced products, which are becoming a majority of the products seen on the market. David will educate on stone alteration, dyes, resin enhancement and other qualities of stone that are critical to avoid stone failure, fade and problems. There will be discussions on how to specify and select stone for a variety of environments, including outdoor, indoor and wet environments, also substrate conditions and traffic conditions.

Stone sealing, care and maintenance will be discussed, also different types of stone, and matching natural stone types and qualities to their appropriate uses. The appropriate use of water-based and solvent-based sealers will be reviewed. Agglomerates, composites, porosity and iron content of stone will be reviewed. Stone failure and how to avoid them and correct them, including subjects such as color fade, staining and rusting, and delamination. UV damage and proper stone selection for UV exposed environments

Demonstration: Shower Pan Installation Dan Curtis of Schluter Systems will demonstrate installation of one of the most troublesome areas of tile installation: a waterproof shower pan. The waterproofing installation will be exhibited step by step, and the interface between the waterproof area and surroundings.
