ARTICLE VIII:

BAYVIEW HUNTERS POINT CITIZENS ADVISORY COUNCIL

Editor's Notes:

Ordinance 39-13 repealed former Chapter 5, Article VIII ("Neighborhood Community Justice Task Force") in its

entirety.

Subsequent to the addition of this Article to the Code, Ord. 184-13 enacted a new article ("Airport Facilities Naming Advisory Committee") also designated as Chapter 5, Article VIII. In order to avoid conflicting with this Article, the editor codified the material added by the later ordinance as Chapter 5, Article XXVII, Secs. 5.270 et seq.

(a) In 1995, the Board of Supervisors established the Bayview Hunters Point Redevelopment Survey Area. On May 23, 2006, the Board approved and adopted, by Ordinance No. 113-06, the Redevelopment Plan for the Bayview Hunters Point Redevelopment Project ("Redevelopment Plan"), which expanded and renamed the Hunters Point Redevelopment Project Area. The Plan included an Area A, which had been in a 1969 Hunters Point Redevelopment Plan and an Area B. Project Area A expired, and with its expiration, the area added by the 2006 expansion constitutes the Bayview Hunters Point Redevelopment Project Area (the "Project Area"). A portion of Area B was the Candlestick Point Activity Node.

(b) On August 3, 2010, this Board of Supervisors adopted an amended Redevelopment Plan (the "Amended Redevelopment Plan") by Ordinance No. 210-10. The Amended Redevelopment Plan designated the Candlestick Point Activity Node as Zone 1, and the balance of the Project Area as Zone 2. The Candlestick Point Activity Node is part of the Hunters Point Shipyard/Candlestick Point Project, a major approved development project that the Redevelopment Agency of the City and County of San Francisco (the "Redevelopment Agency") was charged with implementing. The Amended Redevelopment Plan is on file with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors in File No. 100658, and is incorporated herein as if fully set forth. Map 1 of the Amended Redevelopment Plan identifies the Project Area and Map 2 identifies Zone 1 and Zone 2.

(c) Under the Amended Redevelopment Plan, the Redevelopment Agency retained land use authority within Zone 1. The Redevelopment Agency and the City, through its Planning Department, entered into a Planning Cooperative Agreement, dated for reference purposes as of June 3, 2010, to provide for cooperation between the City and the Redevelopment Agency in carrying out the development of Zone 1.

(d) On September 19, 2006, the Redevelopment Agency and the City, through its Planning Commission, entered into a delegation agreement that provided for implementation of the Redevelopment Plan in Zone 2. The Planning Cooperative Agreement of 2010 provided that development in Zone 2 would continue to be governed by the delegation agreement. Zone 2 is a mixed residential, industrial and commercial area that has suffered from severe economic decline for many years with the closure of the Hunters Point Naval Shipyard, the shrinking of heavy and light industrial bases, and the lingering effects of long-term environmental pollution.

ent of 2010 provided that development in Zone 2 would continue to be governed by the delegation agreement. Zone 2 is a mixed residential, industrial and commercial area that has suffered from severe economic decline for many years with the closure of the Hunters Point Naval Shipyard, the shrinking of heavy and light industrial bases, and the lingering effects of long-term environmental pollution.

(e) The Bayview community was long involved in the planning process that brought about the Amended Redevelopment Plan. It has also previously engaged in a yet unfinished planning process for the area within India Basin Shoreline, not included in the Amended Redevelopment Plan, but referred to in the plan as Survey Area C. Survey Area C is shown on Map 3 of the Amended Redevelopment Plan. In the event that future planning efforts can be carried out in Zone 2 or Survey Area C, community involvement is desirable to help create a structured, and interactive relationship between City agencies, developers, and the community regarding land use and planning affairs in Zone 2 and Survey Area C.

(Added as Sec. 5.70 by Ord. 157-13, File No. 130225, App. 7/25/2013, Eff. 8/24/2013; redesignated by Ord. 99-26, File No. 260217, App. 5/29/2026, Eff. 6/29/2026)

(a) Establishment and Purpose. A Bayview Hunters Point Citizens Advisory Council (the “CAC”) is hereby established 1 Advisory Body as defined in Section 5.1-1. The purpose of the CAC shall be to provide policy advice to the Board of Supervisors, City commissions and departments, including the Planning Commission and Planning Department, on planning and land use matters in Zone 2. The CAC shall provide advice on the appropriateness of projects, and land use and zoning designations for projects in Zone 2 or Survey Area C, and provide community guidance on the extent to which a development project furthers General Plan policies in Zone 2.

(2) Project Applicant’s Presentation. Upon the request of the CAC, the Project Applicant shall request from the CAC a date on which to make the Project Applicant’s Presentation. The CAC shall schedule the date for the Project Applicant’s Presentation as follows:

The Project Applicant shall make a good faith effort to inform the CAC of any changes to the project after the CAC has issued its comments to the Director of Planning.

(f) Report on CAC Comments.
