2015 GROWTH & INFRASTRUCTURE REPORT (November 1, 2016)

The Department of City Planning is pleased to present the 2015 Report on Growth and Infrastructure. It is the latest in a series of reports providing detailed information on
City demographics, development activity, infrastructure and public facilities.
The report is a program of the Framework Element of the General Plan. Its aim is to
synthesize information about the City’s growth and infrastructure in one place. The first
half of the report focuses on population, housing and employment growth since the 2010
Census. Information is organized around the City’s 35 Community Plan Areas,  2 Special Purpose Districts (the port and airport) and 7 Area Planning Commission areas. The second half focuses on the range of available and planned/completed infrastructure facilities to support that growth.
The report largely summarizes existing public reports, plans and other publications from the State, regional and other local agencies. It will be made available as an interactive resource on the Internet.
It is our hope that this and future reports become useful tools in understanding growth and change in the City. The reports provide an important window into understanding changing needs, demographics and infrastructure, thereby informing public debate on these topics.
The Department of City Planning is committed to providing this information to you and the public, and to assisting public policy and decision-making.
