Such below market rate rental, lease, or sale shall be for a period of not less than 55 years and subject to a deed restriction. The exemptions set forth in this subsection 202.8(f)(9) may be approved through multiple project applications so long as no more than a total of 50% (or 75% if restricting the commercial rent of the property as set forth herein) of the property’s PDR, Institutional Community, or Arts Activities space is converted under this exemption. (g) This Section 202.8 shall not authorize a change in use if the new use or uses are otherwise prohibited. (h) In Lieu Fee and Off-Site Replacement. The Board of Supervisors may enact an ordinance adopting an in lieu fee and/or regulating off-site replacement. The proceeds from any such in lieu fee shall be used for the preservation and rehabilitation of existing PDR, Institutional Community, and Arts Activities spaces in the area plan area where the project paying the fee is located. (i) The Board of Supervisors by ordinance and by at least a two-thirds vote of all its members may amend this Section 202.8 at any time after its effective date.

(2) Minimum of two Uses. A Flexible Retail Use must operate with at least two Uses at any given time. (c) Abandonment. A Flexible Retail Use must operate with at least two uses at any given time. A Flexible Retail Use that operates only one Use for a period of 90 days or more shall be deemed abandoned, and no new Flexible Retail Use shall be restored without the issuance of a new building permit. However, based on a good faith showing that the operator has diligently attempted to locate and establish a second permitted Use within the Flexible Retail Use, the Zoning Administrator may grant a 90-day extension. If such extension passes without a second permitted Use established within the Flexible Retail Use, then the Flexible Retail Use shall be deemed abandoned.

FACILITY. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Article 2, a change in use or demolition of a Residential Care Facility use, as defined in Section 102, shall require Conditional Use authorization pursuant to Section 303, including the specific conditions in that Section for conversion of such a use. This Section 202.14 shall not authorize a change in use if the new use or uses are otherwise prohibited. (Added by Ord. 149-21, File No. 210535, App. 9/29/2021, Eff. 10/30/2021) Editor’s Note: This section originally was designated 202.11 when enacted by Ord. 149-21 and was redesignated at the direction of the Office of the City Attorney in order to avoid conflicting with previously existing material.

(a) Purpose. This Section 202.15 is intended to create additional opportunities to locate shelters for persons experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness where those persons can receive on-site supportive services. Interim Housing can help reduce the likelihood of negative outcomes for people experiencing homelessness or at risk of experiencing homelessness. Tourist Hotels and Motels are authorized under the Planning Code as separate uses, both of which are considered part of the Retail Sales and Service use category. Hotels and Motels are generally designed to offer privacy for individuals or small groups of individuals in a non-congregate setting while also providing a common space for gathering and various services. This layout and structure is a natural fit for Interim Housing, where individuals or small groups of individuals may desire or need private accommodations while still needing certain supportive services. At the same time, Tourist Hotels and Motels may not desire to locate Interim Housing on their premises, if it would result in the loss of the underlying Hotel or Motel use. This Section allows Tourist Hotel and Motel operators to locate Interim Housing, as defined, on their properties without losing the underlying Hotel or Motel use. (b) Definitions. For purposes of this Section 202.15, the following definitions shall apply. “Client” means any person residing in or seeking to reside in Interim Housing, and includes any dependent children under the age of 18. “Interim Housing” means a Residential use located on land owned or leased by the City, or provided through a contractual arrangement between the City and a third party, that provides shelter to Clients experiencing homelessness or at risk of homelessness, and provides on-site supportive services, including, without limitation, intake and assessment of Clients’ needs, outreach to the Clients to assist them with health or social needs, management of the health or social needs of Clients, and referrals for services to the Clients. (c) Interim Housing Use Authorized. A Hotel or Motel identified in this subsection 202.15(c) may operate all or any portion of its premises as Interim Housing without abandoning or discontinuing its land use authorization as a Hotel or Motel under the Planning Code, irrespective of whether such existing Hotel or Motel use is a principally permitted, conditionally permitted, or nonconforming use. This authorization shall not be interpreted to exempt the Hotel or Motel use from any provision of the Planning Code. Any Interim Housing use authorized pursuant to this Section 202.15 shall be permitted for no more than 90 days after the shelter emergency pursuant to Government Code Section 8698.4 is terminated. Interim Housing is authorized at only the following locations: Block 3519, Lots 006, 010, and 012; Block 0496, Lot 013; Block 3731, Lot 003; and Block 3703, Lot 081. (d) Application.

REQUIREMENT. (a) Purpose. It is to the general benefit of the people of San Francisco and the unique character of the City and its neighborhoods to retain commercially viable businesses that are forced to close and relocate for a variety of reasons, including but not limited to new development, escalating commercial rent, or other economic hardship. The provisions of this Section 202.17 are intended to streamline and increase opportunities for Displaced Businesses to relocate within the City, but do not override any controls enacted by voter initiative. (b) Definitions. The following definitions shall apply to this Section 202.17. New Location means the site or location where a Displaced Business seeks to be permitted. Prior Location means the place of operation where a Displaced Business was lawfully permitted and operated for at least five years prior to relocating to the New Location. Displaced Business means a commercial or institutional use with less than 50,000 square feet of Gross Floor Area, whose lease expired and was not renewed, or was otherwise terminated by the property owner, and submits a complete Development Application to relocate to a New Location within five years of the property owner submitting a complete Development Application for development at the site of the Prior Location. Any Displaced Business shall not be considered a Displaced Business upon the Department’s approval of the first Development Application to relocate to the New Location. (c) Controls. (1) Conditional Use Authorization Not Required. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Code, if the use and use size associated with a Displaced Business is either principally or conditionally permitted in the zoning district of the New Location, the use and use size of the Displaced Business shall be principally permitted. In no event shall this subsection be construed to permit a use or use size that is not permitted in the zoning district of a proposed New Location, or to allow Formula Retail uses in the Neighborhood Commercial Districts without Conditional Use authorization. (2) No Development Impact Fees. A relocating Displaced Business shall not be subject to fees pursuant to Article 4. (d) Notice of Development Applications to Existing Businesses. Within 15 days of determining that a Development Application is complete or deemed complete, if the Development Application is proposed at a property where there is an existing commercial or industrial use with less than 50,000 square feet of Gross Floor Area, the Department shall provide mailed and electronic notice of the Development Application to the existing non-residential tenant and the Office of Small Business. This provision does not increase or decrease the rights or obligations of the property owner or non-residential tenant pursuant to a private agreement, such as a lease.

No such use shall continue thereafter unless a temporary use authorization is obtained under a new application. Continuance of a temporary use beyond the date of expiration of the period authorized therefor, or failure to remove a structure for such temporary use within 10 days thereafter, shall constitute a violation of this Code. (d) Calculation of Time. Unless otherwise specified, the time periods referenced in this Section 205 et seq. are consecutive hours or consecutive calendar days; they are not the total number of hours or days that the use is in operation. Therefore, a 24-hour authorization that begins at 6:00 a.m. expires at 6:00 a.m. the following day, even if the use was in operation only eight hours of that 24-hour period. Similarly, a 60-day authorization expires after 60 calendar days even though the use may only have been open for business three days per week during that 60-day period. Hours or days of unused authorization cannot be stored or credited. (e) Application, Appeals, and Renewal. The Planning Director or the Planning Director’s designee shall have authority to approve or deny an application for temporary use authorization, and may act upon an application without a public hearing. The decision to authorize or deny any temporary use pursuant to Sections 205 et seq. may be appealed to the Board of Appeals within 15 days after the date of the decision by filing a written notice of appeal with that body. The Planning Director or Director’s designee may authorize additional time for a temporary use by action upon a new application, subject to all the requirements for the original application, unless otherwise indicated in Sections 205 et seq. (f) No Conversion, Change, Discontinuance, or Abandonment of Use. The approval or commencement of a temporary use authorized under Sections 205 et seq. shall not be considered a conversion, discontinuance, abandonment, or change of the authorized land use(s) preceding the temporary use authorized under Sections 205 et seq. Any property for which the temporary use is authorized shall retain its preceding authorized land use(s). (g) Multiple Temporary Uses. Authorization of an Interim Activity under Sections 205 et seq. at a given property or for a given use shall not preclude the concurrent authorization of any other temporary uses recognized in this Section. (h) Additional Permits. Authorization of a temporary use under Sections 205 et seq. does not waive the requirement to obtain any additional authorization that may be required by the San Francisco municipal Code, including but not limited to permits required by the Health Code or Building Code.

(a) The purpose of the Affordable Housing Bonus Programs is to facilitate the development and construction of affordable housing in San Francisco. Affordable housing is of paramount statewide concern, and the Legislature has declared that local and state governments have a responsibility to use the powers vested in them to facilitate the improvement and development of housing to make adequate provision for the housing needs of all economic segments of the community, especially families. The Legislature has found that local governments must encourage the development of a variety of types of housing for all income levels, including multifamily rental housing and assist in the development of adequate housing to meet the needs of low- and moderate-income households. (b) Affordable housing is an especially para- mount concern in San Francisco. San Francisco has one of the highest housing costs in the nation, but San Francisco’s economy and culture rely on a diverse workforce at all income levels. It is the policy of the City to enable these workers to afford housing in San Francisco and ensure that they pay a reasonably proportionate share of their incomes to live in adequate housing and to not have to commute ever-increasing distances to their jobs. The Association of Bay Area Governments determined that San Francisco’s share of the Regional Housing Need for January 2015 to June 2022 was the provision of 28,870 new housing units, with 6,234 (or 21.6%) as very low, 4,639 (or 16.1%) as low, and 5,460 (or 18.9%) as moderate income units. (c) The Board of Supervisors, and the voters in San Francisco, have long recognized the need for the production of affordable housing. The voters, in some cases, and the Board in others, have adopted measures to address this need, such as the mandatory Inclusionary Affordable Housing Ordinance in Planning Code Section 415; the San Francisco Housing Trust Fund, adopted in 2012, which established a fund to create, support and rehabilitate affordable housing, and set aside $20 million in its first year, with increasing allocations to reach $50 million a year for affordable housing; the adoption of Proposition K in November 2014, which established as City policy that the City, by 2020, will help construct or rehabilitate at least 30,000 homes, with more than 50% of the housing affordable for middle-income households, and at least 33% as affordable for low- and moderate income households; and the multiple programs that rely on Federal, State and local funding sources as identified in the Mayor’s Office of Housing and Community Development Comprehensive Plan. These programs enable the City to work towards the voter-mandated affordable housing goals. (d) Historically, in the United States and San Francisco, affordable housing requires high levels of public subsidy, including public investment and reliance on public dollars. Costs to subsidize an affordable housing unit vary greatly depending on a number of factors, such as household income of the residents, the type of housing, and the cost of land acquisition. Currently, MOHCD estimates that the level of subsidy for an affordable housing unit is approximately $350,000 per unit. Given this high cost per unit, San Francisco can only meet its affordable housing goals through a combination of increased public dollars dedicated to affordable housing and other tools that do not rely on public money. (e) Development incentives are a long standing zoning tool that enables cities to encourage private development projects to provide public benefits including affordable housing. By offering increased development potential, a project sponsor can offset the expenses necessary to provide additional public benefits. In 1979, the State of California adopted the Density Bonus Law, Government Code section 65915 et seq., which requires that density bonuses and other concessions and incentives be offered to projects that provide a minimum amount of on- site affordable housing. (f) In recognition of the City’s affordable housing goals, including the need to produce more affordable housing without the need for public subsidies, the Planning Department contracted with David Baker Architects and Seifel Consulting to determine a menu of zoning modifications and development bonuses that could offset a private developer’s costs of providing various levels of additional on-site affordable housing. These experts analyzed various parcels in San Francisco, to determine the conditions in which a zoning accommodation would be necessary to achieve additional density. The analysis modeled various zoning districts and lot size configurations, consistent with current market conditions and the City’s stated policy goals, including to achieve a mix of unit types, including larger units that can accommodate larger households. These reports are on file in Board of Supervisors File No. 160687. (g) Based on these reports, the Planning Department developed four programs to provide options by which developers can include additional affordable units on-site through increased density and other zoning or design modifications. These programs are the HOME-SF Program, the 100 Percent Affordable Housing Bonus Program, the Analyzed State Density Bonus Program and the Individually Requested Bonus Program. The HOME-SF Program can also be used by developers who agree to subject the units to the San Francisco Rent Stabilization and Arbitration Ordinance (Chapter 37 of the Administrative Code) (“the Rent Ordinance”). (h) The goal of the HOME-SF Program is to increase affordable housing production, especially housing affordable to middle income households. Housing for middle income households in San Francisco is necessary to stabilize San Francisco’s households and families, ensure income and household diversity in the long term population of San Francisco, and reduce transportation impacts of middle income households working in San Franc

Program is to increase affordable housing production, especially housing affordable to middle income households. Housing for middle income households in San Francisco is necessary to stabilize San Francisco’s households and families, ensure income and household diversity in the long term population of San Francisco, and reduce transportation impacts of middle income households working in San Francisco. Middle income households do not traditionally benefit from public subsidies. The goal of the HOME-SF Program is also to increase the number of units in San Francisco that will be subject to rent control under San Francisco’s Rent Ordinance. The City adopted its Rent Ordinance in 1979, and the Rent Ordinance has been critical in safeguarding tenants from excessive rent increases and evictions without just cause. Rent control serves as an important policy tool to stabilize communities and prevent displacement. (i) The 100 Percent Affordable Housing Bonus Program provides additional incentives for developers of 100% affordable housing projects, thereby reducing the overall cost of such developments on a per unit basis. (j) The Affordable Housing Bonus Program also establishes a clear local process for all projects seeking the density bonuses guaranteed through the State Density Bonus Law. The State Analyzed Program provides an expedited process for projects that comply with a pre-determined menu of incentives, concessions and waivers of development standards that the Department has determined can appropriately respond to neigh- borhood context without causing adverse impacts on public health and safety, and provide affordable units through the City’s already- established Inclusionary Housing Program. Projects requesting density or concessions, incentives and waivers outside of the City’s preferred menu may seek a density bonus consistent with State law in the Individually Requested Density Bonus Program. (k) San Francisco’s small business community is an integral part of San Francisco’s neighborhood commercial corridors, local economy, and rich culture. San Francisco is committed to maintaining small businesses in its neighborhoods. For this reason, the HOME-SF Program acknowledges the need for general assistance and support for any business that might be impacted. Developments using the Affordable Housing Bonus Program will generally produce additional commercial spaces which may enhance existing commercial corridors. The Office of Economic and Workforce Development (OEWD), in coordination with the Office of Small Business, currently coordinate on referrals to and deployment of a range of services to small businesses including but not limited to: small business consulting, lease negotiation assistance, small business loans, ADA Certified Access Specialists (CASp) inspection services, legacy business registry, façade improvement assistance, commercial corridor management, grants and assessments, relocation and broker services for production, distribution and repair (PDR) businesses, business permit assistance, and coordination with city agencies.

The following definitions shall also apply, and shall prevail if there is a conflict with other sections of the Planning Code. “100 Percent Affordable Housing Project” shall be a project where all of the dwelling units with the exception of the manager’s unit are “Affordable Units” as that term is defined in

Section 406(b). “Affordable to a Household of Lower, Very Low, or Moderate Income” shall mean, at a minimum (1) a maximum purchase price that is affordable to a Household of Lower, Very Low, or Moderate Income, adjusted for the household size, assuming an annual payment for all housing costs of 33 percent of the combined household annual gross income, a down payment recommended by the Mayor’s Office of Housing and Community Development and set forth in the Procedures Manual, and available financing; and (2) an affordable rent as defined in Section 50053 of the Health and Safety Code sufficient to ensure continued affordability of all very low and low-income rental units that qualified the applicant for the award of the density bonus for 55 years or a longer period of time if required by the construction or mortgage financing assistance program, mortgage insurance program, or rental subsidy program. “Base Density” is lot area divided by the maximum lot area per unit permitted under existing density regulations (e.g. 1 unit per 200, 400, 600, 800, or 1000 square feet of lot area). Calculations that result in a decimal point of 0.5 and above are rounded to the next whole number. “Density Bonus” means a density increase over the Maximum Allowable Gross Residential Density granted pursuant to Government Code Section 65915 and Section 206 et seq. “Density Bonus Units” means those market rate dwelling units granted pursuant to the provisions of Sections 206.3, 206.5 and 206.6 that exceed the otherwise Maximum Allowable Gross Residential Density for the development site. “Development Standard” shall mean a site or construction condition, including, but not limited to, a height limitation, a setback requirement, a floor area ratio, an onsite open space requirement, or an accessory parking ratio that applies to a residential development pursuant to any ordinance, general plan element, specific plan, charter, or other local condition, law, policy, resolution or regulation. “HOME-SF Unit” shall mean on-site income restricted residential units provided within a HOME-SF project that meets the requirements set forth in Planning Code Section 206.3. “Inclusionary Units” shall mean on-site income-restricted residential units provided within a development that meet the requirements of the Inclusionary Affordable Housing Program, Planning Code Section 415 et seq. “Lower, Very Low, or Moderate Income” means annual income of a household that does not exceed the maximum income limits for the income category, as adjusted for household size, applicable to San Francisco, as published and periodically updated by the State Department of Housing and Community Development pursuant to Sections 50079.5, 50105 or 50093 of the California Health and Safety Code. Very Low Income is currently defined in California Health and Safety Code Section 50105 as 50% of area median income. Lower Income is currently defined in California Health and Safety Code Section 50079.5 as 80% of area median income. Moderate Income is currently defined in California Health and Safety Code Section 50093 as 120% of area median income. If the State law definitions of these terms change, the definitions under Section 206 shall mirror the State law changes. “Maximum Allowable Gross Residential Density” means the maximum number of dwelling units per square foot of lot area in zoning districts that have such a measurement, or, in zoning districts without such a density measurement, the maximum number of dwelling units that could be developed on a property while also meeting all other applicable Planning Code requirements and design guidelines. “Qualifying Resident” means senior citizens or other persons eligible to reside in a Senior Citizen Housing Development. “Regulatory Agreement” means a recorded and legally binding agreement between an applicant and the City to ensure that the requirements of this Chapter are satisfied. The Regulatory Agreement, among other things, shall establish: the number of Restricted Affordable Units, their size, location, terms and conditions of affordability, and production schedule. “Restricted Affordable Unit” means a Dwelling Unit within a Housing Project which will be Affordable to Very Low, Lower or Moderate Income Households, as defined in this Section 206.2 for a minimum of 55 years. Restricted Affordable Units shall meet all of the requirements of Government Code 65915, except that Restricted Affordable Units that are ownership units shall not be restricted using an equity sharing agreement. “Senior Citizen Housing Development” has the meaning in California Civil Code Section 51.3.

(a) Purpose. This Section 206.3 sets forth the HOME-SF Program. The HOME-SF Program or “HOME-SF” provides benefits to project sponsors of housing projects that either (1) set aside residential units onsite at below market rate rent or sales price in an amount higher than the amount required by the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance, or (2) agree to subject all units in the project, except for units required by the Inclusionary Housing Ordinance, to the San Francisco Rent Stabilization and Arbitration Ordinance (Chapter 37 of the Administrative Code). The purpose of HOME-SF is to expand the number of below market rate units produced in San Francisco and provide housing opportunities to a wider range of incomes than traditional affordable housing programs, such as the City’s Inclusionary Affordable Housing Program, Planning Code Sections 415 et seq., which typically provide housing only for very low, low or moderate income households, and to expand the number of units in San Francisco that are subject to rent control. For projects that elect to provide additional on-site below market rate units, HOME-SF also provides an alternative method of complying with the on-site inclusionary option set forth in Section 415.6. HOME-SF allows market-rate projects to match the City’s Proposition K (November 2014) housing goals that 50% of new housing constructed or rehabilitated in the City by 2020 be within the reach of working middle class San Franciscans, and that at least 33% be affordable for low and moderate income households, and the Housing Element of the General Plan’s finding that rent control has been critical to protecting low- and moderate-income residents from being at risk of eviction and displacement..1 (b) Applicability. A HOME-SF Project under this Section 206.3 shall be a project that: (1) contains three or more residential units, as defined in Section 102, not including any Group Housing as defined in Section 102, efficiency dwelling units with reduced square footage defined in Section 318, and Density Bonus Units permitted through this Section 206.3, or any other density bonus; (2) is located in any zoning district that: (A) is not designated as an RH-1 or RH-2 Zoning District; and (B) establishes a maximum dwelling unit density through a ratio of number of units to lot area, including RH-3, RM, RC, C-2, Neighborhood Commercial, Named Neighborhood Commercial, and SoMa Mixed Use Districts; but only if the SoMa Mixed Use District has a density measured by a maximum number of dwelling units per square foot of lot area; (C) is not in the North of Market Residential Special Use District, Planning Code Section 249.5, until the Affordable Housing Incentive Study is completed at which time the Board will review whether the North of Market Residential Special Use District should continue to be excluded from this Program. The Study will explore opportunities to support and encourage the provision of housing at the low, moderate, and middle income range in neighborhoods where density controls have been eliminated. The goal of this analysis is to incentivize increased affordable housing production levels at deeper and wider ranges of AMI and larger unit sizes in these areas through 100% affordable housing development as well as below market rate units within market rate developments; (D) is not located within the boundaries of the Northeastern Waterfront Area Plan south of the centerline of Broadway; (E) is not located on property under the jurisdiction of the Port of San Francisco; and (F) is not located in a designated historic district under Article 10 of this Code; (3) is not seeking and receiving a density or development bonus under the provisions of California Government Code Sections 65915 et seq., Planning Code Section 207, Section 124(f), Section 202.2(f), Section 304, or any other State or local program that provides development bonuses; (4) includes at least 135% of the Base Density as calculated under Planning Code Section 206.5; (5) consists of new construction, and excluding any project that includes an addition to an existing structure; (6) complies with the on-site Inclusionary Affordable Housing option set forth in Planning Code Section 415.6. If the project elects to provide HOME-SF Units as set forth in subsection (c)(1)(A), the project shall comply with the on-site Inclusionary Affordable Housing option set forth in Planning Code Section 415.6, provided however, that the percentage of affordable units and the required affordable sales price or affordable rents set forth in Section 415.6(a) shall be as provided in Section 206.3(c)(1)(A), or Section 206.3(f), as applicable; (7) if any retail use is demolished or removed, does not include a Formula Retail use, as defined in Planning Code Section 303.1, unless the retail use demolished or removed was also a Formula Retail Use, or was one of the following uses: Gas Stations, Private or Public Parking Lots, Financial Services, Fringe Financial Services, Self Storage, Motel, Automobile Sales or Rental, Automotive Wash, Mortuaries, Adult Business, Massage Establishment, Medical Cannabis Dispensary, and Tobacco Paraphernalia Establishment, as those uses are defined in Planning Code Section 102; (8) if located north of the centerline of Post Street and east of the centerline of Van Ness Avenue, all otherwise eligible HOME-SF Projects shall only be permitted on: (A) lots containing no existing buildings; or (B) lots equal to or greater than 12,500 square feet where existing buildings are developed to less than 20% of the lot’s principally permitted buildable gross floor area as determined by height limits, rear yard requirements, and required setbacks; and

(9) if the City enacts an ordinance directing the Planning Department to study the creation of a possible area plan wholly or partially located in Supervisorial District 9, HOME-SF Projects shall not be permitted in any area in Supervisorial District 9 listed in the ordinance until such time as the City enacts the area plan. (c) HOME-SF Project Eligibility Requirements. To receive the development bonuses granted under this Section 206.3, a HOME-SF Project must meet all of the following requirements: (1) Agree to either: (A) Except as limited in application by subsection (f), provide 30% of units in the HOME-SF Project as HOME-SF Units, as defined herein. The HOME-SF Units shall be restricted for the Life of the Project and shall comply with all of the requirements of the Procedures Manual authorized in Section 415 except as otherwise provided herein. Twelve percent of HOME- SF Units that are Owned Units shall have an average affordable purchase price set at 80% of Area Median Income; 9% shall have an average affordable purchase price set at 105% of Area Median Income; and 9% shall have an average affordable purchase price set at 130% of Area Median Income. Twelve percent of HOME-SF Units that are rental units shall have an average affordable rent set at 55% of Area Median Income; 9% shall have an average affordable rent set at 80% of Area Median Income; and 9% shall have an average affordable rent set at 110% of Area Median Income. All HOME-SF Units must be marketed at a price that is at least 20% less than the current market rate for that unit size and neighborhood, and MOHCD shall reduce the Area Median Income levels set forth herein in order to maintain such pricing. As provided in subsection (e), the Planning Department and MOHCD shall amend the Procedures Manual to provide policies and procedures for the implementation, including monitoring and enforcement, of the HOME-SF Units; or, (B) Subject all new Dwelling Units, except for any Affordable Units as defined in Planning Code Section 401, to the San Francisco Residential Rent Stabilization and Arbitration Ordinance (Chapter 37 of the Administrative Code) as may be amended from time to time. The option in this subsection (c)(1)(B) shall also be available for projects not subject to the Inclusionary Affordable Housing Ordinance, Planning Code Sections 415.1 through 415.11. (2) All HOME-SF units shall be no smaller than the minimum unit sizes set forth by the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee as of May 16, 2017, and no smaller than 300 square feet for studios. In addition, notwithstanding any other provision of this Code, HOME-SF projects shall provide a minimum dwelling unit mix of (A) at least 40% two and three bedroom units, including at least 10% three bedroom units, or (B) any unit mix which includes some three bedroom or larger units such that 50% of all bedrooms within the HOME-SF Project are provided in units with more than one bedroom. Larger units should be distributed on all floors, and prioritized in spaces adjacent to open spaces or play yards. Units with two or three bedrooms are encouraged to incorporate family friendly amenities. Family friendly amenities shall include, but are not limited to, bathtubs, dedicated cargo bicycle parking, dedicated stroller storage, open space and yards designed for use by children. HOME-SF Projects are not eligible to modify this requirement under Planning Code Section 328 or any other provision of this Code; (3) Does not demolish, remove, or convert more than one residential unit; and (4) Includes at the ground floor level active uses, as defined in Section 145.1, at the same square footages as any neighborhood commercial uses demolished or removed, unless the Planning Commission has granted an exception under Section 328. (d) Development Bonuses. Any HOME-SF Project shall, at the project sponsor’s request, receive any or all of the following: (1) Form based density. Except as limited in application by subsection (f): Notwithstanding any zoning designation to the contrary, density of a HOME-SF Project shall not be limited by lot area but rather by the applicable requirements and limitations set forth elsewhere in this Code. Such requirements and limitations include, but are not limited to, height, including any additional height allowed by subsection (d)(2), Bulk, Setbacks, Required Open Space, Exposure and unit mix as well as applicable design guidelines, elements, and area plans of the General Plan and design review, including consistency with the Affordable Housing Bonus Program Design Guidelines, referenced in Section 328, as determined by the Planning Department. (2) Height. Except as limited in application by subsection (f): Up to 20 additional feet above the height authorized for the HOME-SF Project under the Height Map of the Zoning Map. This additional height may only be used to provide up to two additional 10-foot stories to the project, or one additional story of no more than 10 feet in height. Building features exempted from height controls under Planning Code Section 260(b) shall be measured from the roof level of the highest story provided under this subsection (d)(2). (3) Ground Floor Ceiling Height. Except as limited in application by subsection (f): In addition to the permitted height allowed under subsection (d)(2), HOME-SF Projects with active uses on the ground floor as defined in Section 145.1(b)(2) shall receive up to a maximum of five additional feet in height above the height limit, in addition to the additional 20 feet granted in subsection (d)(2). However, the additional five feet may only be applied at the ground floor to provide a 14-foot (floor to ceiling) ceiling height for nonresidential uses, and to allow walk-up dwelling units to be consistent with the Ground Floor Residential Design Guidelines. This additional five feet shall not be granted to projects tha

ht limit, in addition to the additional 20 feet granted in subsection (d)(2). However, the additional five feet may only be applied at the ground floor to provide a 14-foot (floor to ceiling) ceiling height for nonresidential uses, and to allow walk-up dwelling units to be consistent with the Ground Floor Residential Design Guidelines. This additional five feet shall not be granted to projects that already receive such a height increase under Planning Code Section 263.20. (4) Zoning Modifications. HOME-SF Projects may receive the following zoning modifications: (A) Rear yard: The required rear yard per Section 134 or any applicable special use district may be reduced to no less than 20% of the lot depth, or 15 feet, whichever is greater. Corner properties may provide 20% of the lot area at the interior corner of the property to meet the minimum rear yard requirement, provided that each horizontal dimension of the open area is a minimum of 15 feet; and that the open area is wholly or partially contiguous to the existing midblock open space, if any, formed by the rear yards of adjacent properties. (B) Dwelling Unit Exposure: The dwelling unit exposure requirements of Section 140(a)(2) may be satisfied through qualifying windows facing an unobstructed open area that is no less than 25 feet in every horizontal dimension, and such open area is not required to expand in every horizontal dimension at each subsequent floor. (C) Off-Street Loading: Off-street loading spaces per Section 152 shall not be required. (D) Open Space: Up to a 10% reduction in common open space if provided under Section 135 or any applicable special use district. (E) Private Open Space: A reduction in private open space required under Section 135. However, in no case shall such private open space be less than 36 square feet or measure less than six feet in each direction. (F) Inner Courts as Open Space: For an inner court to qualify as usable common open space, Section 135(g)(2) requires it to be at least 20 feet in every horizontal dimension, and for the height of the walls and projections above the court on at least three sides (or 75% of the perimeter, whichever is greater) to be no higher than one foot for each foot that such point is horizontally distant from the opposite side of the clear space in the court. HOME-SF Projects may instead provide an inner court that is at least 25 feet in every horizontal dimension, with no restriction on the heights of adjacent walls. All area within such an inner court shall qualify as common open space under Section 135. (5) Priority Processing and Planning Commission approval. HOME-SF Projects shall be reviewed in coordination with relevant priority processing and shall be approved, denied, or approved subject to conditions by the Planning Commission under Section 328, within 180 days of submittal of a complete project application, unless the Environmental Review Officer determines that an environmental impact report is required for the project under Administrative Code section 31.09. (e) Implementation. (1) Application. An application to participate in the HOME-SF Program shall be submitted with the first application for approval of a Housing Project and processed concurrently with all other applications required for the Housing Project. The application shall be submitted on a form prescribed by the City and shall include at least the following information: (A) A full plan set, including a site plan, elevations, sections, and floor plans, showing total number of units, number of and location of HOME-SF Units, if any; and a draft Regulatory Agreement; (B) The requested development bonuses and/or zoning modifications from those listed in subsection (d). (C) A list of all on-site family friendly amenities. Family friendly amenities shall include, but are not limited to, dedicated cargo bicycle parking, dedicated stroller storage, open space and yards designed for use by children. (D) Documentation that the applicant has provided written notification to all existing commercial or residential tenants that the applicant intends to develop the property pursuant to this section 206.3 and has provided any existing commercial tenants with a copy of the Office of Economic and Workforce Development’s Guide to Small Business Retention and Relocation Support. Any affected commercial tenants shall be given priority processing similar to the Department’s Community Business Priority Processing Program, as adopted by the Planning Commission on February 12, 2015, under Resolution Number 19323, to support relocation of such business in concert with access to relevant local business support programs. (2) Procedures Manual. The Planning Department and MOHCD shall amend the Procedures Manual, authorized in Section 415, to include policies and procedures for the implementation, including monitoring and enforcement, of HOME-SF Units. As an amendment to the Procedures Manual, such policies and procedures are subject to review and approval by the Planning Commission under Section 415. Amendments to the Procedures Manual shall include a requirement that project sponsors in specified areas complete a market survey of the area before marketing HOME-SF Units. (3) Notice and Hearing. HOME-SF Projects shall comply with Section 306 for review and approval. (4) Controls. HOME-SF Projects shall be governed by the procedures and timelines in Section 328. A HOME-SF Project shall be exempt from any other discretionary approval process by the Planning Commission, including but not limited to a conditional use authorization, unless that conditional use authorization requirement or other discretionary approval

process was adopted by the voters of San Francisco. If a HOME-SF Project would otherwise require a conditional use authorization due to the type of use or use size, or to provide parking in excess of what is principally permitted, then the Planning Commission shall make any findings or comply with any criteria required by such conditional use in its HOME-SF authorization under Section 328. (5) Regulatory Agreements. Recipients of development bonuses under this Section 206.3 shall enter into a Regulatory Agreement with the City, as follows. (A) The terms of the agreement shall be acceptable in form and content to the Planning Director, the Director of MOHCD, and the City Attorney. The Planning Director shall have the authority to execute such agreements. (B) Following execution of the agreement by all parties, the completed Regulatory Agreement, or memorandum thereof, shall be recorded and the conditions filed and recorded on the Housing Project. The Planning Department shall note the existence of any recorded Regulatory Agreement applicable to the Housing Project on a publicly-accessible website. (C) The approval and recordation of the Regulatory Agreement shall take place prior to the issuance of the First Construction Document. The Regulatory Agreement shall be binding to all future owners and successors in interest. (D) The Regulatory Agreement shall be consistent with the guidelines of the City’s Inclusionary Housing Program and shall include at a minimum the following: (i) The total number of dwelling units approved for the Housing Project, including the number of HOME-SF Units, if any, or other restricted units; (ii) A description of the household income group to be accommodated by the HOME-SF Units, if any, and the standards for determining the corresponding Affordable Rent or Affordable Sales Price. If required by the Procedures Manual, the project sponsor must commit to completing a market survey of the area before marketing HOME-SF Units; (iii) The location, dwelling unit sizes (in square feet), and number of bedrooms of the HOME-SF Units, if any; (iv) Term of use restrictions for the life of the project; (v) A schedule for completion and occupancy of HOME-SF Units, if any; (vi) A description of any Concession, Incentive, waiver, or modification being provided by the City; (vii) A description of remedies for breach of the agreement (the City may identify tenants or qualified purchasers as third party beneficiaries under the agreement); (viii) Other provisions to ensure implementation and compliance with this Section; (ix) For projects that elect to proceed under Section 206.3(c)(1)(B), a statement that the units included in such project, except for any Affordable Units as defined in Planning Code Section 401, are not subject to the Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act (California Civil Code Sections 1954.50 et seq.) because under Section 1954.52(b), the property owner has entered into and agreed to the terms of the agreement with the City in consideration for additional density and modifications to the Planning Code, or other direct financial contribution or forms of assistance specified in California Government Code Sections 65915 et seq;1 and (x) For projects that elect to proceed under Section 206.3(c)(1)(B), an agreement that any lease, sublease, or other agreement regarding tenancy of units not subject to the Costa- Hawkins Rental Housing Act (California Civil Code Sections 1954.50 et seq.) shall shall1 include the following text: “This unit is a rental unit subject to the San Francisco Residenital1 Rent Stabilization and Arbitration Ordinance.” (f) Temporary provisions.

1. So in Ord. 91-23.

(a) Purpose and Findings. This Section 206.4 describes the 100 Percent Affordable Housing Bonus Program, or “100 Percent Affordable Housing Program”. In addition to the purposes described in Section 206.1, the purpose of the 100 Percent Affordable Housing Program is to facilitate the construction and development of projects in which all of the residential units are affordable to Low and Very-Low Income Households. Projects pursuing a development bonus under this 100 Percent Affordable Program would exceed the City’s shared Proposition K housing goals that 50% of new housing constructed or rehabilitated in the City by 2020 be within the reach of working middle class San Franciscans, and at least 33% affordable for low and moderate income households. (b) Applicability. A 100 Percent Affordable Housing Bonus Project under this Section 206.4 shall be a Housing Project that: (1) contains three or more Residential Units, as defined in Section 102, not including any additional units permitted though this Section 206.4 through a density bonus; (2) is located in any zoning district that: (A) is not designated as an RH-1, RH-1(D), or RH-2 Zoning District; and (B) allows Residential Uses; (3) is not seeking and receiving a density or development bonus under the provisions of California Government Code Sections 65915 et seq., Planning Code Sections 207, 124(f), 304, or any other state or local program that provides development bonuses; (4) meets the definition of a “100 Percent Affordable Housing Project” in Section 206.2; (5) demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Environmental Review Officer that the Project does not: (A) cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an historic resource as defined by California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Section 15064.5, (B) create new shadow in a manner that substantially affects outdoor recreation facilities or other public areas; and (C) alter wind in a manner that substantially affects public areas; (6) does not demolish, remove, or convert any residential units and does not include any other parcel that has any residential units that would be demolished, removed, or converted as part of the project; (7) includes, at the ground floor, neighborhood serving uses, including but not limited to general and specialty grocery, health service, institutional, and public facilities, all as defined in Section 102; and, (8) is not located within the boundaries of the Northeastern Waterfront Area Plan south of the centerline of Broadway. (c) Development Bonuses. A 100 Percent Affordable Housing Bonus Project shall, at the project sponsor’s request, receive any or all of the following: (1) Priority Processing. 100 Percent Affordable Housing Bonus Projects shall receive Priority Processing. (2) Form Based Density. Notwithstanding any zoning designation to the contrary, density of the 100 Percent Affordable Housing Bonus Project shall not be limited by lot area but rather by the applicable requirements and limitations set forth elsewhere in this Code. Such requirements and limitations include, but are not limited to, height, including any additional height allowed by subsection (c) herein, Bulk, Setbacks, Open Space, Exposure and unit mix as well as applicable design guidelines, elements and area plans of the General Plan and design review, including consistency with the Affordable Housing Bonus Program Design Guidelines, referenced in Section 315.1 , as determined by the Planning Department. (3) Height. 100 Percent Affordable Housing Bonus Projects shall be allowed up to 30 additional feet, not including allowed exceptions per Section 260(b), above the property’s height district limit in order to provide three additional stories of residential use. This additional height may only be used to provide up to three additional 10-foot stories to the project, or one additional story of not more than 10 feet in height (4) Ground Floor Ceiling Height. In addition to the permitted height allowed under subsection (c)(3), 100 Percent Affordable Housing Bonus Projects with active ground floors as defined in Section 145.1(b)(2) shall receive one additional foot of height, up to a maximum of an additional five feet at the ground floor, exclusively to provide a minimum 14-foot (floor to ceiling) ground floor ceiling height. (5) Zoning Modifications. 100 Percent Affordable Housing Bonus Projects may select any or all of the following zoning modifications: (A) Rear Yard: the required rear yard per Section 134 or any applicable special use district may be reduced to no less than 20% of the lot depth or 15 feet, whichever is greater. Corner properties may provide 20% of the lot area at the interior corner of the property to meet the minimum rear yard requirement, provided that each horizontal dimension of the open area is a minimum of 15 feet; and that the open area is wholly or partially contiguous to the existing midblock open space, if any, formed by the rear yards of adjacent properties. (B) Dwelling Unit Exposure: The dwelling unit exposure requirements of Section 140(a)(2) may be satisfied through qualifying windows facing an unobstructed open area that is no less than 15 feet in every horizontal dimension, and such open area is not required to expand in every horizontal dimension at each subsequent floor. (C) Off Street Loading: No off-street loading spaces under Section 152. (D) Automobile Parking: Up to a 100% reduction in the minimum off-street residential and commercial automobile parking requirement under Article 1.5 of this Code. (E) Open Space: Up to a 10% reduction in common open space requirements if required by Section 135, but no less than 36 square feet of open space per unit. (F) Inner Courts as Open Space: In order for an i

(D) Automobile Parking: Up to a 100% reduction in the minimum off-street residential and commercial automobile parking requirement under Article 1.5 of this Code.
(E) Open Space: Up to a 10% reduction in common open space requirements if required by Section 135, but no less than 36 square feet of open space per unit.
(F) Inner Courts as Open Space: In order for an inner court to qualify as useable common open space, Section 135(g)(2) requires it to be at least 20 feet in every horizontal

dimension, and for the height of the walls and projections above the court on at least three sides (or 75% of the perimeter, whichever is greater) to be no higher than one foot for each foot that such point is horizontally distant from the opposite side of the clear space in the court. 100 Percent Affordable Housing Bonus Projects may instead provide an inner court that is at least 25 feet in every horizontal dimension, with no restriction on the heights of adjacent walls. All area within such an inner court shall qualify as common open space under Section 135. (d) Implementation. (1) Application. The following procedures shall govern the processing of a request for a project to qualify under the 100 Percent Affordable Housing Bonus Program. (A) An application to participate in the 100 Percent Affordable Housing Bonus Program shall be submitted with the first application for approval of a Housing Project and processed concurrently with all other applications required for the Housing Project. The application shall be submitted on a form prescribed by the City and shall include at least the following information: (i) A full plan set including a site plan, elevations, sections and floor plans, showing the total number of units, unit sizes and planned affordability levels and any applicable funding sources; (ii) The requested development bonuses from those listed in subsection (c); (iii) Unit size and distribution of multi-bedroom units; (iv) Documentation that the applicant has provided written notification to all existing commercial tenants that the applicant intends to develop the property pursuant to this section 206.4. Any affected commercial tenants shall be given priority processing similar to the Department’s Community Business Priority Processing Program, as adopted by the Planning Commission on February 12, 2015 under Resolution Number 19323 to support relocation of such business in concert with access to relevant local business support programs. In no case may an applicant receive a site permit or any demolition permit prior to 18 months from the date of written notification required by this subsection 206.4(d)(1)(B); and (v) Documentation that the applicant shall comply with any applicable provisions of the State Relocation Law or Federal Uniform Relocation Act when a parcel includes existing commercial tenants. (2) Conditions. Entitlements of 100 Percent Affordable Housing Bonus Projects approved under this Section shall be valid for 10 years from the date of approval. (3) Controls. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Code, no conditional use authorization shall be required for a 100 Percent Affordable Housing Bonus Project, unless such conditional use requirement was adopted by the voters.

(a) Purpose and Findings: This Section 206.6 details the review, analysis and approval process for any project seeking a density bonus that is consistent with State Law, Government Code Section 65915 et seq., but is not consistent with the pre-vetted menu of concessions, incentives or waivers, or other requirements established in Section 206.5 as analyzed by the Planning Department in coordination with David Baker and Seifel Consulting, and shall be known as the Individually Requested State Density Bonus Program. California State Density Bonus Law allows a housing developer to request parking ratios not to exceed the ratios set forth in Government Code Section 65915(p)(1), which may further be reduced as an incentive or concession. Because in most cases San Francisco regulates parking by dwelling unit as described in Article 1.5 of this Code, the minimum parking ratios set forth in the Government Code are greater than those allowed in San Francisco. Given that San Francisco’s parking ratios are already less than the State ratios, the City finds that the State’s minimum parking ratio requirement does not apply. (b) Applicability. A Housing Project that does not meet any one or more of the criteria of Section 206.5(b) under the Analyzed State Density Bonus Program, but meets the following requirements, may apply for a Development Bonus under this Section 206.6 as an “Individually Requested State Density Bonus Project” or “Individually Requested Project” if it meets all of the following criteria: (1) contains five or more residential units, as defined in Section 102; (2) is not seeking and receiving a density or development bonus under Section 207; the HOME-SF Program, Section 206.3; the 100 Percent Affordable Housing Bonus Program, Section 206.4; Section 304, or any other local or state bonus program that provides development bonuses; (3) provides Restricted Affordable Housing Units, including but not limited to Inclusionary Housing Units, at minimum levels as provided in Table 206.6A; (4) provides replacement units for any units demolished or removed that are subject to the San Francisco Rent Stabilization and Arbitration Ordinance, Administrative Code Section 37, or are units qualifying for replacement as units being occupied by households of low or very low income, consistent with the requirements of Government Code section 65915(c)(3); and, (5) Is in any zoning district except for RH-1 or RH-2, unless the Code permits the development of a project of five units or more on a site or sites. (c) Development Bonuses. Any Individually Requested Density Bonus Project shall, at the project sponsor’s request, receive any or all of the following: (1) Density Bonus. Individually Requested Projects that provide On-site Inclusionary Housing Units or Restricted Affordable Units shall receive a density bonus as described in Table 206.6A as follows:

Table 206.6A Density Bonus Summary – Individually Requested Project Restricted Affordable Units or Category Minimum Percentage of Restricted Affordable Units Percentage of Density Bonus Granted Additional Bonus for Each 1% Increase In Restricted Affordable Units Percentage of Restricted Units Required for Maximum 35% Density Bonus Very Low Income 5% 20% 2.50% 11% Lower Income 10% 20% 1.50% 20% Moderate Income 10% 5% 1% 40% Senior Citizen Housing 100% 20%

---

Note: A density bonus may be selected from only one category up to a maximum of 35% of the Maximum Allowable Gross Residential Density. In calculating density bonuses under this subsection 206.6(c)(1) the following shall apply: (A) When calculating the number of permitted Density Bonus Units or Restricted Affordable Units, any fractions of units shall be rounded to the next highest number. (B) An applicant may elect to receive a Density Bonus that is less than the amount permitted by this Section; however, the City shall not be required to similarly reduce the number of Restricted Affordable Units required to be dedicated pursuant to this Section and Government Code Section 65915(b). (C) Each Housing Project is entitled to only one Density Bonus, which shall be selected by the applicant based on the percentage of Very Low Income Restricted Affordable Units, Lower Income Restricted Affordable Units, or Moderate Income Restricted Affordable Units, or the Housing Project’s status as a Senior Citizen Housing Development. Density bonuses from more than one category may not be combined. In no case shall a Housing Project be entitled to a Density Bonus of more than 35%, unless it is a Senior Housing Project meeting the requirements of Section 202.2(f).

(D) The Density Bonus Units shall not be included when determining the number of Restricted Affordable Units required to qualify for a Density Bonus. Density bonuses shall be calculated as a percentage of the Maximum Allowable Gross Residential Density. (E) Any Restricted Affordable Unit provided pursuant to the on-site requirements of the Inclusionary Affordable Housing Program, Section 415 et seq., shall be included when determining the number of Restricted Affordable Units required to qualify for a Development Bonus under this Section 206.6. The payment of the Affordable Housing Fee shall not qualify for a Development Bonus under this Section. The provision of Off-site Units shall not qualify the Principal Project for a Density Bonus under this Section; however an Off-site Unit may qualify as a Restricted Affordable Unit to obtain a density bonus for the Off-site Project. (F) In accordance with state law, neither the granting of a Concession, Incentive, waiver, or modification, nor the granting of a Density Bonus, shall be interpreted, in and of itself, to require a general plan amendment, zoning change, variance, or other discretionary approval. (G) No additional Density Bonus shall be authorized for a Senior Citizen Development beyond the Density Bonus authorized by subsection (c)(1) of this Section. (H) Certain other types of development activities are specifically eligible for a development bonus pursuant to State law, including land donation under Government Code Section 65915(g), condominium conversions under Government Code Section 65915.5 and qualifying mobile home parks under Government Code Section 65915(b)(1)(C). Such projects shall be considered Individually Requested State Density Bonus Projects. (2) Concessions and Incentives. This Section includes provisions for providing Concessions or Incentives pursuant to Government Code Section 65915 et seq. as set forth in Table 206.6B. For purposes of this Section 206.6, Concessions and Incentives as used interchangeably shall mean such regulatory concessions as specified in Government Code Section 65915(k) to include: (A) A reduction of site Development Standards or architectural design requirements which exceed the minimum applicable building standards approved by the State Building Standards Commission pursuant to Part 2.5 (commencing with Section 18901) of Division 13 of the Health and Safety Code, including, but not limited to, a reduction in setback, coverage, and/or parking requirements which result in identifiable, financially sufficient and actual cost reductions; (B) Allowing mixed use development in conjunction with the proposed residential development, if nonresidential land uses will reduce the cost of the residential project and the nonresidential land uses are compatible with the residential project and existing or planned development in the area where the Housing Project will be located; and (C) Other regulatory incentives or concessions proposed by the developer or the City that result in identifiable and actual cost reductions.

Concessions or Incentives may be selected from only one category (very low, lower, or moderate). 2. Common Interest Development is defined in California Civil Code Section 4100. (3) Request for Concessions and Incentives. In submitting a request for Concessions or Incentives that are not specified in subsection 206.5(c)(4), an applicant for an Individually Requested Density Bonus Project must provide documentation described in subsection (d) below in its application. Provided that the Planning Commission delegates authority to review and approve applications for Individually Requested Density Bonus projects, the Planning Director shall approve the Concession or Incentive requested unless the Director makes written findings, based on substantial evidence that: (A) The Concession or Incentive does not result in identifiable and actual cost reductions, consistent with Government Code Section 65915(k); or (B) The Concession or Incentive would have a specific adverse impact, as defined in Government Code Section 65589.5(d)(2) upon public health and safety or the physical environment or any real property that is listed in the California Register of Historical Resources and for which there is no feasible method to satisfactorily mitigate or avoid the specific adverse impact without rendering the Housing Project unaffordable to low- and moderate-income households; or (C) The Concession or Incentive would be contrary to state or federal law. (4) Waiver or Modification. An applicant may apply for a waiver or modification of Development Standards that will have the effect of physically precluding the construction of a Housing Project at the densities or with the Concessions or Incentives permitted by this Section 206.6. The Planning Commission will not grant a waiver or modification under this Section unless it is necessary to achieve the additional density or the Concessions or Incentives permitted by this Section 206.6. The developer must submit sufficient information as determined by the Planning Department demonstrating that Development Standards that are requested to be waived or modified will have the effect of physically precluding the construction of a Housing Project meeting the criteria of this Section 206.6 at the densities or with the Concessions or Incentives permitted. The Planning Commission shall hold a hearing to determine if the project sponsor has demonstrated that the waiver is necessary. The Planning Commission may deny a waiver if it finds on the basis of substantial evidence that: (A) It is not required to permit the construction of a Housing Project meeting the density permitted or with the Concessions and Incentives permitted under this Section 206.6; (B) The Waiver would have a specific adverse impact, as defined in Government Code Section 65589.5(d)(2) upon public health and safety or the physical environment or any real property that is listed in the California Register of Historical Resources and for which there is no feasible method to satisfactorily mitigate or avoid the specific adverse impact without rendering the Housing Project unaffordable to low- and moderate-income households; or, (C) The Waiver would be contrary to state or federal law. (5) Nothing in this Section shall be construed to require the provision of direct financial incentives for the Project, including the provision of publicly owned land by the City or the waiver of fees or dedication requirements. (d) Application. An application for a Density Bonus, Incentive, Concession, or waiver under this Section 206.6 shall be submitted with the first application for approval of a Housing Project and shall be processed concurrently with all other applications required for the Housing Project. The application shall be on a form prescribed by the City and, in addition to any information required for other applications, shall include the following information: (1) A description of the proposed Project, and a full plan set, including a site plan, elevations, section and floor plans, with the total number and location of dwelling units, Restricted Affordable Units, and Density Bonus Units proposed; (2) A plan set sufficient for the Planning Department to determine the project site’s Maximum Allowable Gross Residential Density. The project sponsor shall submit plans for a base project that demonstrates a Code complying project on the Housing Project site without modification of the Planning Code. Such plans shall include similar detail to the proposed Housing Project. The project sponsor shall demonstrate that site constraints do not limit the Maximum Allowable Gross Residential Density for the base project in practice. If the project sponsor cannot make such a showing, the Zoning Administrator shall determine whether the Maximum Allowable Gross Residential Density shall be adjusted for purposes of this Section; (3) The zoning district designations, Maximum Allowable Gross Residential Density, assessor’s parcel number(s) of the project site, and a description of any Density Bonus, Concession or Incentive, or waiver requested; (4) If a Concession or Incentive is requested that is not included within the menu of Incentives/Concessions set forth in subsection 206.5(c), a submittal including financial information or other information providing evidence that the requested Concessions and Incentives result in identifiable and actual cost reductions required in order to provide for affordable housing costs as defined in Health and Safety Code Section 50052.5, or for rents for the Restricted Affordable Units to be prov

es/Concessions set forth in subsection 206.5(c), a submittal including financial information or other information providing evidence that the requested Concessions and Incentives result in identifiable and actual cost reductions required in order to provide for affordable housing costs as defined in Health and Safety Code Section 50052.5, or for rents for the Restricted Affordable Units to be provided as required under this Program. The cost of reviewing any required financial information, including, but not limited to, the cost to the City of hiring a consultant to review the financial data, shall be borne by the applicant; (5) If a waiver or modification is requested, information sufficient to demonstrate why a Development Standard would physically preclude the construction of the Development with the Density Bonus, Incentives, and Concessions requested. The cost of reviewing any required information supporting the request for a waiver, including, but not limited to, the cost to the City of hiring a consultant to review the architectural information, shall be borne by the applicant; (6) Level of affordability of the Restricted Affordable Units and a draft Regulatory Agreement; (7) The number of residential units which are on the property, or if the residential units have been vacated or demolished in the five year period preceding the application, have been and which were subject to a recorded covenant, ordinance, or law that restricts rents to levels affordable to persons and families of lower or very low income; subject to any other form of rent or price control through the City or other public entity’s valid exercise of its police power; or occupied by lower or very low income households;

(8) If the property includes a parcel or parcels in which dwelling units under subsection (d)(7) are located or were located in the five year period preceding the application, the type and size of those units, the incomes of the persons or families occupying those units; (9) Documentation that the applicant has provided written notification to all existing commercial or residential tenants that the applicant intends to develop the property pursuant to this section. Any affected commercial tenants shall be given priority processing similar to the Department’s Community Business Priority Processing Program, as adopted by the Planning Commission on February 12, 2015 under Resolution Number 19323 to support relocation of such business in concert with access to relevant local business support programs; (10) If a Density Bonus or Concession is requested for a land donation under Government Code Section 65915(g), the application shall show the location of the land to be dedicated, provide proof of site control, and provide evidence that all of the requirements and each of the findings included in Government Code Section 65915(g) can be made; (11) If a density bonus or Concession is requested for a Child Care Facility under Section 206.7, the application shall show the location and square footage of the child care facilities and provide evidence that all of the requirements and each of the findings included in Government Code Section 65915(h) can be made; and (12) If a Density Bonus or Concession is requested for a condominium conversion, the applicant shall provide evidence that all of the requirements found in Government Code Section 65915.5 can be met. (e) Review Procedures. Except as provided in Section 317 or where a Conditional Use Authorization is required to permit a non-residential use, an application for any Individually Requested Density Bonus project shall not be subject to any other underlying entitlement approvals related to the proposed housing, such as a Conditional Use Authorization, Mandatory Discretionary Review, or a Large Project Authorization. Further, any entitled project that was previously approved under the Individually Requested Density Bonus program that seeks an amendment to their approved application, including those projects outlined in Planning Code Section 415A.5, shall also not require an underlying entitlement approval related to the proposed housing. If an entitlement is otherwise required, an application for a Density Bonus, Incentive, Concession, or waiver shall be acted upon concurrently with the application for the required entitlement. (1) Before approving an application for a Density Bonus, Incentive, Concession, or waiver, for any Individually Requested Density Bonus Project, the Planning Commission or Director shall make the following findings as applicable. (A) The Housing Project is eligible for the Individually Requested Density Bonus Program. (B) The Housing Project has demonstrated that any Concessions or Incentives reduce actual housing costs, as defined in Section 50052.5 of the California Health and Safety Code, or for rents for the targeted units, based upon the financial analysis and documentation provided. (C) If a waiver or modification is requested, a finding that the Development Standards for which the waiver is requested would have the effect of physically precluding the construction of the Housing Project with the Density Bonus or Concessions and Incentives permitted. (D) If the Density Bonus is based all or in part on donation of land, a finding that all the requirements included in Government Code Section 65915(g) have been met. (E) If the Density Bonus, Concession or Incentive is based all or in part on the inclusion of a Child Care Facility, a finding that all the requirements included in Government Code Section 65915(h) have been met. (F) If the Concession or Incentive includes mixed-use development, a finding that all the requirements included in Government Code Section 65915(k)(2) have been met. (2) If the findings required by subsection (e)(1) of this Section cannot be made, the Planning Commission or Director may deny an application for a Concession, Incentive, waiver or modification only if the Director makes one of the following written findings, supported by substantial evidence: (A) The Concession, Incentive, waiver or modification is not required to provide for the affordability levels required for Restricted Affordable Units; (B) The Concession, Incentive, waiver or modification would have a specific, adverse impact upon public health or safety or the physical environment or on real property listed in the California Register of Historic Resources, and there is no feasible method to satisfactorily mitigate or avoid the specific adverse impact without rendering the Housing Project unaffordable to Low and Moderate Income households. For the purpose of this subsection, “specific adverse impact” means a significant, quantifiable, direct, and unavoidable impact, based on objective, identified, written public health or safety standards, policies, or conditions as they existed on the date that the application for the Housing Project was deemed complete; or (C) The Concession, Incentive, waiver or modification is contrary to state or federal law. (3) The review procedures for an Individually Requested Density Bonus Project, including notice, hearings, and appeal, shall be the procedures applicable to the Housing Project regardless of whether it is applying for a State Density Bonus under this Section 206.6. However, any notice shall specify that the Housing Project is seeking a Development Bonus and shall provide a description of the development bonuses requested. Individually Requested Projects shall also be reviewed for consistency with the Affordable Housing Bonus Prog

cedures applicable to the Housing Project regardless of whether it is applying for a State Density Bonus under this Section 206.6. However, any notice shall specify that the Housing Project is seeking a Development Bonus and shall provide a description of the development bonuses requested. Individually Requested Projects shall also be reviewed for consistency with the Affordable Housing Bonus Program Design Guidelines. (4) In accordance with state law, neither the granting of a Concession, Incentive, waiver, or modification, nor the granting of a Density Bonus, shall be interpreted, in and of itself, to require a general plan amendment, zoning change, variance, or other discretionary approval. (f) Regulatory Agreements. Recipients of a Density Bonus, Incentive, Concession, waiver, or modification shall enter into a Regulatory Agreement with the City, as follows. (1) The terms of the agreement shall be acceptable in form and content to the Planning Director, the Director of MOHCD, and the City Attorney. The Planning Director shall have the authority to execute such agreements. (2) Following execution of the agreement by all parties, the completed Density Bonus Regulatory Agreement, or memorandum thereof, shall be recorded and the conditions filed and recorded on the Housing Project. The Planning Department shall note the existence of any recorded Regulatory Agreement applicable to the Housing Project on a publicly-accessible website. (3) The approval and recordation of the Regulatory Agreement shall take place prior to the issuance of the First Construction Document. The Regulatory Agreement shall be binding to all future owners and successors in interest. (4) The Regulatory Agreement shall be consistent with the guidelines of the City’s Inclusionary Housing Program and shall include at a minimum the following: (A) The total number of dwelling units approved for the Housing Project, including the number of Restricted Affordable Units, Inclusionary Units, HOME-SF Units or other restricted units; (B) A description of the household income group to be accommodated by the Restricted Affordable Units, and the standards for determining the corresponding Affordable Rent or Affordable Sales Price; (C) The location, dwelling unit sizes (in square feet), and number of bedrooms of the Restricted Affordable Units; (D) Term of use restrictions for Restricted Affordable Units of at least 55 years for Moderate Income units and at least 55 years for Low and Very Low units; (E) A schedule for completion and occupancy of Restricted Affordable Units; (F) A description of any Concession, Incentive, waiver, or modification, if any, being provided by the City; (G) A description of remedies for breach of the agreement (the City may identify tenants or qualified purchasers as third party beneficiaries under the agreement); and (H) Other provisions to ensure implementation and compliance with this Section.

(a) Purpose. The purpose of the 100% Affordable Housing and Educator Housing Streamlining Program is to facilitate the construction and development of 100% Affordable Housing Projects and Affordable Educator Housing Projects, as defined in subsection (b), in which Residential Units are affordable to Very-Low, Low, and Moderate Income Households. (b) Definitions. The definitions of Section 102 and the definitions in Section 401 for “Area Median Income” or “AMI,” “Housing Project,” and “Life of the Project,” shall generally apply to Section 206.9. The following definitions shall also apply, and shall prevail if there is a conflict with other sections of the Planning Code, including Section 206.2. (1) “100% Affordable Housing.” Residential Units that are deed-restricted for 55 years or the Life of the Project, whichever is longer and consistent with any applicable tax credit regulatory requirements, to be affordable to Very-Low, Low, or Moderate income households with an income up to 120% of the unadjusted area median family income (AMI) for the HUD Metro Fair Market Rent Area (HMFA) that contains San Francisco, as published annually by MOHCD. (2) “100% Affordable Housing Project.” A project for the development of Residential Units all of which are 100% Affordable Housing, up to a maximum overall average of 80% AMI across all Residential Units in the project. A 100% Affordable Housing Project may also include principally permitted non-residential uses on the ground floor, and non-residential uses that are accessory to and supportive of the affordable housing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the maximum affordable rent or sales price for a Residential Unit in a 100% Affordable Housing Project may be no higher than 20% below median market rents or sales prices for that unit size in the neighborhood in which the project is located, which neighborhood shall be defined in accordance with the American Community Survey Neighborhood Profile Boundaries Map. MOHCD shall determine the allowable rents and sales prices, and the eligible households for such units accordingly. (3) “Educator Housing Project.” A project for the development of deed-restricted Residential Units all of which are restricted for the Life of the Project or 55 years, whichever is longer and consistent with any applicable tax credit regulatory requirements, to occupancy by at least one employee of the San Francisco Unified School District (“SFUSD”) or San Francisco Community College District (“SFCCD”), as verified by the Planning Department or MOHCD. At least four-fifths of the units in an Educator Housing Project must be deed

restricted for the Life of the Project or 55 years, whichever is longer and consistent with any applicable tax credit regulatory requirements to be affordable to households with an income from 30% to 140% of the unadjusted area median family income (AMI), with an overall average of 100% AMI across all such units. Up to one-fifth of the units may be deed restricted up to a maximum 160% AMI for the HUD Metro Fair Market Rent Area (HMFA) that contains San Francisco, as published annually by MOHCD. An Educator Housing Project is also allowed to be a mixed-use development project with a maximum 20% of the gross building square footage designated for non-residential neighborhood-serving uses. (A) No units in an Educator Housing Project shall be smaller than the minimum unit sizes set forth by the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee as of May 16, 2017, or smaller than 300 square feet for a studio. (B) Any units in an Educator Housing Project with a rental rate set above 120% of Area Median Income shall have a minimum occupancy of two persons. (C) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Code, an Educator Housing Project with a Development Application filed after January 14, 2020, shall include a minimum of 50% of the total units as 2-bedroom units or larger, with a minimum of 10% of the total units as 3-bedroom units or larger. All references in this Section 206.9 to other sections of the Planning Code shall refer to those other sections as they may be amended from time to time after the effective date of the initiative measure enacting this Section 206.9. (c) Applicability. A 100% Affordable Housing Project or Educator Housing Project under this Section 206.9 shall be a Housing Project that: (1) is located in any zoning district that allows Residential Uses; (2) is located on a lot or lots equal to or greater than 8,000 square feet or, in the alternative, is located on a parcel or parcels that contains a surface parking lot and does not demolish any existing buildings on such parcel or parcels other than buildings that are accessory to the surface parking lot use, such as a guard station or kiosk; (3) is not located on land under the jurisdiction of the Recreation and Parks Department for the purpose of a public park; (4) meets the definition of a “100 Percent Affordable Housing Project” or an “Educator Housing Project” in subsection (b); and (5) does not demolish, remove, or convert any Residential Units, and does not include any other parcel that has any Residential Units that would be demolished, removed, or converted as part of the project. (d) Density. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Code, density of an 100% Affordable Housing Project or Educator Housing Project shall not be limited by lot area or zoning district maximums but rather by the applicable requirements and limitations set forth elsewhere in this Code, including consistency with the Affordable Housing Bonus Program Design Guidelines, referenced in Section 315.1, as determined by the Planning Department. (e) Zoning Modifications. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Code, 100% Affordable Housing Projects and Educator Housing Projects may select any or all of the following Planning Code modifications: (1) Rear Yard. The required rear yard per Section 134 or any applicable special use district may be reduced to no less than 15 feet. Rear yards shall be provided with an open area at the lowest story containing a Dwelling Unit, and at each succeeding level or story of the building. Projects located on corner parcels may meet the minimum rear yard requirement at the interior corner of the property provided that each horizontal dimension of the open space is a minimum of 15 feet, and that the open area is wholly or partially contiguous to the existing midblock open space, if any, formed by the rear yards of adjacent properties, and provides for access to light and air to and views from adjacent properties. (2) Open Space. The required common open space per Section 135 may be reduced to no less than 36 square feet of open space per unit. (3) Inner Courts as Open Space. Inner courts qualifying as useable common open space per Section 135(g)(2) may be provided by courtyards with no less than 25 feet in every horizontal dimension, with no restriction on the heights of adjacent walls. All area within such an inner court shall qualify as common open space under Section 135. (4) Dwelling Unit Exposure. The dwelling unit exposure requirements of Section 140(a)(2) may be satisfied through qualifying windows facing an unobstructed open area that is no less than 15 feet in every horizontal dimension, and such open area is not required to expand in every horizontal dimension at each subsequent floor. (5) Required commercial space. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Code, any required ground-floor commercial space may include Arts Activities or Neighborhood- Serving Businesses, as defined in Section 102. Ground floor commercial spaces accessory to the 100% Affordable Housing or Educator Housing Project shall not be limited by use size restrictions. Ground floor Arts Activities or Neighborhood-Serving Businesses shall be considered active uses if more than 50 percent of the linear street frontage provides transparent walls and direct pedestrian access to a public sidewalk, and are consistent with the Ground Floor Residential Design Guidelines. (6) Ground Floor Ceiling Height. Projects with active ground floors, as defined in Section 145.1(b)(2), shall receive up to a maximum of an additional five feet above the height limit, exclusively to provide a minimum 14-foot (floor to ceiling) ground floor ceiling height. (7) Projects located entirely or partially on a parcel or parcels designated on the San Francisco Zoning Map as open space (OS) that are not under the jurisd

ts with active ground floors, as defined in Section 145.1(b)(2), shall receive up to a maximum of an additional five feet above the height limit, exclusively to provide a minimum 14-foot (floor to ceiling) ground floor ceiling height. (7) Projects located entirely or partially on a parcel or parcels designated on the San Francisco Zoning Map as open space (OS) that are not under the jurisdiction of the Recreation and Parks Department shall be deemed to have a height limit and a bulk designation of the closest zoning district that allows Residential Uses. (8) Height.

(Added by Ord. 245-25, File No. 250701, App. 12/12/2025, Eff. 1/12/2026, Oper. 1/12/2026) CODIFICATION NOTE

1. So in Ord. 245-25. SEC. 207. DWELLING UNIT DENSITY LIMITS. (a) Applicability. The density of Dwelling Units permitted in the various Districts shall be as set forth in the Zoning Control Table for the district in which the lot is located. The term “Dwelling Unit” is defined in Section 102 of this Code. In districts where no density limit is specified, density shall not be limited by lot area but rather by the applicable requirements and limitations set forth elsewhere in this Code. Such requirements and limitations include, but are not limited to, height, bulk, setbacks, open space, exposure and unit mix as well as applicable design guidelines, elements and area plans of the General Plan and design review by the Planning Department. (b) Rules for Calculating Dwelling Unit Density. In districts that establish a maximum dwelling unit density, the following rules shall apply in the calculation of dwelling unit density under this Code: (1) A remaining fraction of one-half or more of the minimum of lot area per Dwelling Unit shall be adjusted upward to the next higher whole number of Dwelling Units. (2) Where permitted by this Code, two or more of the dwelling and other housing uses specified in the Code may be located on a single lot, either in one structure or in separate structures, provided that the specified density limits are not exceeded by the total of such combined uses. Where Dwelling Units and Group Housing are combined, the maximum permitted density for Dwelling Units and for Group Housing shall be prorated to the total lot area according to the quantities of these two uses that are combined on the lot. (3) Where any portion of a lot is narrower than five feet, such a portion shall not be counted as part of the lot area for purposes of calculating the permitted dwelling density. (4) No private right-of-way used as the principal vehicular access to two or more lots shall be counted as part of the lot area of

ccording to the quantities of these two uses that are combined on the lot. (3) Where any portion of a lot is narrower than five feet, such a portion shall not be counted as part of the lot area for purposes of calculating the permitted dwelling density. (4) No private right-of-way used as the principal vehicular access to two or more lots shall be counted as part of the lot area of any such lot for purposes of calculating the permitted dwelling unit density. (5) Where a lot is divided by a use district boundary line, the dwelling unit density limit for each district shall be applied to the portion of the lot in that district, and none of the Dwelling Units attributable to the district permitting the greater density shall be located in the district permitting the lesser density. (6) In Neighborhood Commercial Districts, the dwelling unit density shall be at a density ratio not exceeding the number of Dwelling Units permitted in the nearest R District, provided that the maximum density ratio shall in no case be less than the amount set forth in the Zoning Control Table for the district in which the lot is located. The distance to each R District shall be measured either from the midpoint of the front lot line or from a point directly across the street therefrom, whichever permits the greater density. (c) Exceptions to Dwelling Unit Density Limits. An exception to the calculations under this Section 207 shall be made in the following circumstances: (1) Affordable Units in Projects with 20% or More Affordable Units. For projects that are not located in any RH-1 or RH-2 zoning district, or are not seeking and receiving a density bonus under the provisions of California Government Code Section 65915, where 20% or more of the Dwelling Units on-site are “Affordable Units,” the on-site Affordable Units shall not count towards the calculation of dwelling unit density. This Planning Code Section does not provide exceptions to any other Planning Code requirements such as height or bulk. For purposes of this Section 207, “Affordable Units” shall be defined as meeting (A) the criteria of Section 406(b); (B) the requirements of Section 415 et seq. for on-site units; or (C) restricted units in a project using California Debt Limit Allocation Committee (CDLAC) tax-exempt bond financing and 4% tax credits under the Tax Credit Allocation Committee (TCAC). If a project sponsor proposes to provide “Affordable Units” that are not restricted by any other program, in order to receive the benefit of the additional density permitted under this Subsection (c)(1) or Subsection (c)(2), the project sponsor shall elect and the Planning Department and MOHCD shall be authorized to enforce, restricting the units as affordable under Planning Code Section 415.6 up to a maximum of 25% of the units in the Principal Project. The project sponsor shall make such election through the procedures described in Section 415.5(g) including submitting an Affidavit of Compliance indicating the project sponsor’s election to pursue the benefits of Subsection (c)(1) or (c)(2) and committing to up to 25% on-site units restricted under Section 415.6 prior to approval by the Planning Commission or Planning Department staff. If a project sponsor obtains the exemption from the density calculation for Affordable Units provided in this subsection, the exemption shall be documented and recorded against the property under the terms of a Regulatory Agreement as defined under Section 206.2 and consistent with the provisions set forth in Section 206.6(f)(4). Any later request to decrease the number of Affordable Units shall require the project to go back to the Planning Commission or Planning Department, whichever entity approved the project as a whole. (2) Affordable Units in RTO Districts. In the RTO District, on site Dwelling Units that are “Affordable Units,” as defined in Subsection (a), shall not count toward density calculations or be limited by lot area. (3) Double Density for Senior Housing in RH, RM, RC, and NC Districts. Senior Housing, as defined in and meeting all the criteria and conditions defined in Section 102 of this Code, is permitted up to twice the dwelling unit density otherwise permitted for the District. (4) The exception to Dwelling Unit density limits for certain Accessory Dwelling Units under the City’s Local Accessory Dwelling Unit Program is set forth in Section 207.1 of this Code. (J)4 Notification. Prior to submitting an application to construct an ADU under this subsection (c)(4), the property owner shall cause a notice describing the proposed project to be posted in an accessible common area of the building for at least 15 calendar days prior to submitting an application to construct an ADU, and shall cause said notice to be mailed or

delivered to each unit (including unauthorized units) at the subject property, also at least 15 calendar days prior to submitting the application. The property owner shall submit proof of these notices to the Planning Department as part of the application to construct an ADU. These notices shall have a format and content determined by the Zoning Administrator, and shall generally describe the project, including the number and location of the proposed ADU(s), and shall include a copy of the written declaration required by subsection (c)(4)(C)(iii). These notices shall also include instructions on how a tenant may petition the Rent Board for a written determination on the declaration as set forth in subsection (c)(4)(C)(iii), including the deadline for filing such petition, which shall be 30 calendar days after the notice has been provided. These notices shall also describe how to obtain additional information regarding the project and shall provide contact information for the Planning Department that complies with the requirements of the Language Access Ordinance, Chapter 91 of the Administrative Code, to provide vital information about the Planning Department’s services or programs in the languages spoken by a Substantial Number of Limited English Speaking Persons, as defined in Chapter 91. (5) On-site Units in Group Housing Projects. For On-site Units in Group Housing projects subject to Section 415.6 that are not located in any RH-1 or RH-2 zoning district, or are not seeking and receiving a density bonus under the provisions of California Government Code Section 65915, the On-site Units in Group Housing projects subject to Section 415.6 shall not count towards the calculation of dwelling unit density. This Planning Code Section does not provide exceptions to any other Planning Code requirements such as height or bulk. (6) The exception to Dwelling Unit density limits for certain Accessory Dwelling Units under the State-Mandated Accessory Dwelling Unit Program is set forth in Section 207.2 of this Code. (7) A Designated Child Care Unit that meets all the applicable standards of Planning Code Section 414A.6 shall not count towards the calculation of maximum density permitted on the site. (8) Residential Density Exception in RH Districts. (A) Density Exception. Projects located in RH Districts that are not seeking or receiving a density bonus under the provisions of Planning Code Section 206.5 or 206.6 shall receive an exception from residential density limits in the following amounts not inclusive of any Accessory Dwelling Units as permitted under this Section 207, provided that the project meets the requirements set forth in this subsection (c)(8): (i) Up to four units per lot, excluding Corner Lots. (ii) Up to six units for Corner Lots 5 (iii) Up to one Group Housing Room per 415 sq. ft. of lot area in RH-1, RH-1(D), and RH-1(S) zoning districts. (B) Eligibility of Historic Resources. To receive the density exception authorized under this subsection (c)(8), a project must demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Environmental Review Officer that it does not cause a substantial adverse change in the significance of an historic resource as defined by California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Section 15064.5, as may be amended from time to time. Permit fees for pre-application Historic Resource Assessments shall be waived for property owners who apply to obtain a density exception under this subsection (c)(8), if they sign an affidavit stating their intent to reside on the property for a period of three years after the issuance of the Certificate of Final Completion and Occupancy for the new dwelling units. Permit fees for Historic Resource Determinations shall not be waived. (C) Applicable Standards. All building standards shall apply in accordance with the applicable zoning district as set forth in Section 209.1. (D) Unit Replacement Requirements. Projects utilizing the density exception of this subsection (c)(8) shall comply with the requirements of Section 66300(d) of the California Government Code, as may be amended from time to time, including but not limited to requirements to produce at least as many dwelling units as the projects would demolish; to replace all protected units; and to offer existing occupants of any protected units that are lower income households relocation benefits and a right of first refusal for a comparable unit, as those terms are defined therein. In the case of Group Housing, projects utilizing this density exception shall provide at least as many bedrooms as the project would demolish. (E) Applicability of Rent Ordinance; Regulatory Agreements. Project sponsors of projects utilizing the density exception of this subsection (c)(8) shall enter into a regulatory agreement with the City, subjecting the new units or Group Housing rooms created pursuant to the exception to the San Francisco Residential Rent Stabilization and Arbitration Ordinance (Chapter 37 of the Administrative Code), as a condition of approval of the density exception (“Regulatory Agreement”). At a minimum, the Regulatory Agreement shall contain the following: (i) a statement that the new units created pursuant to the density exception are not subject to the Costa-Hawkins Rental Housing Act (California Civil Code Sections 1954.50 et seq.) because, under Section 1954.52(b), the property owner has entered into and agreed to the terms of this agreement with the City in consideration of an exception from residential density limits of up to four dwelling units per lot, or up to six units per lot in Corner Lots, or other direct financial contribution or other form of assistance specified in California Government Code Sections 65915 et seq.; (ii) a description of the exception of residential density or other direct financial contribution or form of assistance provided to th

ation of an exception from residential density limits of up to four dwelling units per lot, or up to six units per lot in Corner Lots, or other direct financial contribution or other form of assistance specified in California Government Code Sections 65915 et seq.; (ii) a description of the exception of residential density or other direct financial contribution or form of assistance provided to the property owner; and (iii) a description of the remedies for breach of the agreement and other provisions to ensure implementation and compliance with the agreement. The property owner and the Planning Director (or the Director’s designee), on behalf of the City, will execute the Regulatory Agreement, which shall be reviewed and approved by the City Attorney’s Office. The Regulatory Agreement shall be executed prior to the City’s issuance of the First Construction Document for the project, as defined in Section 107A.13.1 of the San Francisco Building Code. Following execution of the Regulatory Agreement by all parties and approval by the City Attorney, the Regulatory Agreement or a memorandum thereof shall be recorded to the title records in the Office of the Assessor-Recorder against the property and shall be binding on all future owners and successors in interest. The Planning Department shall note the existence of any recorded Regulatory Agreement applicable to the new units on a publicly-accessible website. (F) Unit Sizes. At least one of the dwelling units resulting from the density exception shall have two or more bedrooms or shall have a square footage equal to no less than 1/3 of the floor area of the largest unit on the lot. This provision does not apply to projects where all of the units qualify as Group Housing. (G) Eligibility. To receive the density exception authorized under this subsection (c)(8), property owners must demonstrate that they have owned the lot for which they are seeking the density exception for a minimum of one year prior to the time of the submittal of their application. For the purposes of establishing eligibility to receive a density exception according to subsection (c)(8)(B), a property owner who has inherited the subject lot, including any inheritance in or through a trust, from a blood, adoptive, or step family relationship, specifically from either (i) a grandparent, parent, sibling, child, or grandchild, or (ii) the spouse or registered domestic partner of such relations, or (iii) the property owner’s spouse or registered domestic partner (each an “Eligible Predecessor”), may add an Eligible Predecessor’s duration of ownership of the subject lot to the property owner’s duration of ownership of the same lot. This subsection 207(c)(8)(G) shall only apply if at the time of submittal of the application the subject lot contains two dwelling units or more. (H) Annual Report on Housing Affordability, Racial Equity, and Language Access Goals. To help the City evaluate whether the implementation of this Section 207(c)(8) comports with the City’s housing affordability, racial equity, and language access goals, each year the Planning Department, in consultation with other City departments including the Department of Building Inspection, the Rent Board, and the Office of the Assessor-Recorder, shall prepare a report addressing the characteristics and demographics of the applicants to and participants in the program established in said section; the number of units permitted and constructed through this program; the geographic distribution, affordability, and construction costs of those units; and the number of tenants that vacated or were evicted from properties as a result of the permitting or construction of units through this program (“Affordability and Equity Report”). The Affordability and Equity Report shall be included and identified in the annual Housing Inventory Report. The Planning Department shall prepare the report utilizing applicant data that has been provided by program applicants voluntarily and anonymously, and separate from the submittal of an application for a density exception. An applicant’s decision to provide or decline to provide the information requested by the Planning Department in order to prepare the report shall have no bearing on the applicant’s receipt of a density exception. (9)3 Replacing Auto-Oriented Uses with Housing. (A) Purpose. The purpose of this subsection (c)(9) is to encourage housing development on parcels that are being used for Auto-Oriented Uses, with the goal of easing the City’s housing shortage while addressing the adverse impacts that automobiles have on climate change, pedestrian safety, and livability. (B) Definition. For the purposes of this subsection (c)(9), an Auto-Oriented Use shall mean any parcel that has, or had as its last permitted use, an accessory parking lot or garage, or any use defined as an Automotive Use in Planning Code Section 102. (C) Applicability. This subsection (c)(9) shall apply to all properties (i) with an Auto-Oriented Use on which a residential use is permitted as a Principal Use but does not contain a Residential Use, and which also (ii) have not had a Legacy Business, as defined in Administrative Code Section 2A.242(b), on the site for four years prior to submittal of an application under this subsection (c)(9). Notwithstanding the previous sentence, this subsection (c)(9) shall not apply to properties located in RM or RC districts, or to properties located in a designated historic district under Article 10 of this Code. Sites that contain a business that has been nominated for inclusion in the Legacy Business Registry shall be ineligible for this subsection (c) (9), unless the Small Business Commission finally determines that such business does not meet the criteria for a Legacy Business under Administrative Code section 2A.242(b). (D) Density Controls. Notwithstanding any other provision of this C

de. Sites that contain a business that has been nominated for inclusion in the Legacy Business Registry shall be ineligible for this subsection (c) (9), unless the Small Business Commission finally determines that such business does not meet the criteria for a Legacy Business under Administrative Code section 2A.242(b). (D) Density Controls. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Code, eligible properties shall be subject to the following density controls: (i) Eligible Sites in RH Zoning Districts: Four Dwelling Units per lot as a Principally Permitted use. (ii) Eligible Sites in Other Zoning Districts: Density shall be regulated by the permitted height and bulk, and required setbacks, exposure, open space, and any adopted design standards or guidelines for each parcel as a Principally Permitted Use. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Code, projects using this subsection (c)(9) may also seek a density bonus under Section 206.6. (E) Conditional Use. Any other Conditional Use required by this Code that is not related to permitted residential density shall continue to apply. (F) Parking Requirements.

(i) Residential Parking. Proposed projects using the density exception in this subsection (c)(9) are subject to the following parking controls: P: up to 0.25 parking spaces per residential unit C: up to 0.5 parking spaces per unit NP: above 0.5 spaces per unit (ii) Non-Residential Parking. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Code, up to 75% of Non-Residential Parking otherwise allowed by this Code shall be permitted for projects using the density exception in this subsection (c)(9). (G) Review of Program and Limit on Number of Residential Units. The Planning Department shall include the number and location of projects using this subsection (c)(9) and number of units provided in such projects in the Housing Inventory Report. This subsection (c)(9) shall remain in effect until the Planning Department approves a total of 5,000 residential units under the authority of this subsection (c)(9). When the Planning Director certifies in writing that the Planning Department has approved 5,000 residential units under this subsection 207(c)(9), the subsection shall expire by operation of law, and the City Attorney shall cause the subsection to be removed from the Planning Code.

1. Division (c)(6) was originally added as division (c)(5) by Ord. 162-16, Eff. 9/3/2016. Because Ord. 164-15, Eff. 10/23/2015, had already added a division (c)(5), the newer division (c)(5) was redesignated as division (c)(6) by Ord. 95-17, Eff. 6/11/2017. Division (c)(6) was later replaced by Ord. 62-24.
2. So in Ord. 209-21.
3. Division (c)(9) was originally added as division (c)(8) by Ord. 264-22. Because Ord. 201-22 had already added a division (c)(8), the publisher has editorially redesignated the newer division (c)(8) as (c)(9).
4. So in Ord. 62-24.
5. So in Ord. 248-23. Editor's Notes: As documented in the history notes above, this section was amended by two ordinances enacted concurrently, Ords. 161-15 and 162-15, both effective on 10/18/2015. The ordinances contained a number of overlapping amendments, with the primary distinction between them being the addition of references to two different specific Board of Supervisors Districts. (Those references were deleted by subsequent amendments.) The second of the two concurrent ordinances expressly provides that: The Board intends that, if adopted, the additions and deletions shown in both ordinances be given effect so that the substance of each ordinance be given full force and effect. To this end, the Board directs the City Attorney's Office and the publisher to harmonize the provisions of each ordinance. See Section 9 of Ord. 162-15. The editor set out this section in accordance with the Board's direction to harmonize the two ordinances. As a separate matter, Ord. 155-15 (File No. 150348, App. 8/6/2015, Eff. 9/5/2015) purported to amend this section. At the direction of the Office of the City Attorney, Ord. 155-15 was never codified (and accordingly is not referenced in the history notes above). Its provisions effectively were superseded by Ord. 164-15 (File No. 150348, App. 9/23/2015, Eff. 10/23/2015, Retro. 5/20/2015).

(See Interpretations related to this Section.) (a) Exception to Dwelling Unit Density Limits for Certain Accessory Dwelling Units Under City’s Local Program. An exception to the calculations under Section 207 of this Code shall be made for Accessory Dwelling Units (“ADUs”), as defined in Section 102 of this Code, meeting the requirements of this Section 207.1. (b) Applicability. This Section 207.1 shall apply to the construction of ADUs on all lots located within the City and County of San Francisco in areas that allow residential use, except ADUs regulated by the State-Mandated Program under Section 207.2 of this Code. (c) Controls on Construction. An ADU regulated by this Section 207.1 is permitted to be constructed in an existing or proposed building under the following conditions: (1) For lots that have four existing Dwelling Units or fewer, or where the zoning would permit the construction of four or fewer Dwelling Units, one ADU is permitted. For lots that have more than four existing Dwelling Units or are undergoing seismic retrofitting under subsection 207.1(f) below, or where the zoning would permit the construction of more than four Dwelling Units, there is no limit on the number of ADUs permitted, as long as all other health and safety requirements are met. (2) The Department shall not approve an application for construction of an ADU where a tenant on the lot was evicted pursuant to Administrative Code Sections 37.9(a)(9) through (a) (12) and 37.9(a)(14) under a notice of eviction served within 10 years prior to filing the application for a building permit to construct the ADU, or where a tenant was evicted pursuant to Administrative Code Section 37.9(a)(8) under a notice of eviction served within five years prior to filing the application for a building permit to construct the ADU. This subsection (c)(2) shall not apply if the tenant was evicted under Section 37.9(a)(11) or 37.9(a)(14) and the applicant(s) either (A) have certified that the original tenant reoccupied the unit after the temporary eviction or (B) have submitted to the Department and to the Residential Rent Stabilization and Arbitration Board (Rent Board) a declaration from the property owner or the tenant certifying that the property owner notified the tenant of the tenant’s right to reoccupy the unit and the tenant chose not to reoccupy it. (3) Prior to submitting an application to construct an ADU under this Section 207.1, the property owner shall file with the Rent Board a written declaration, signed under penalty of perjury, demonstrating that the project will comply with the requirements of Administrative Code Sections 37.2(r) and 37.9 relating to severance, substantial reduction, or removal of a housing service. The Rent Board shall determine the form and content of said declaration, which shall include the following information: (i) a description of any housing services supplied in connection with the use or occupancy of any units on the subject property that are located in the area of the property or building where the ADU would be constructed; (ii) whether construction of the ADU would result in the severance, substantial reduction, or removal of any such housing services; and (iii) whether any of the just causes for eviction under Administrative Code Section 37.9(a) would apply. The property owner shall also file a copy of the notice required under Section 207.1(j) with the declaration. (4) Tenants at the subject property may contest the information in the declaration required by subsection 207.1(c)(3) by petitioning for a written determination from the Rent Board verifying the presence and defining characteristics of the housing service or services in question, and whether any such housing services would be severed, substantially reduced, or removed by the project as proposed. Petitions must be filed with the Rent Board within 30 calendar days after the notice required under Section 207.1(j) has been provided. If no such petition is timely filed, the Rent Board shall promptly transmit the declaration to the Planning Department. If any such petition is timely filed, the Rent Board shall endeavor to transmit the declaration and its final written determination on the petition to the Planning Department within 90 calendar days of receipt of said petition. The Department shall not approve an application to construct an ADU under this Section 207.1 unless (i) the Rent Board has transmitted the declaration and final written determination required by subsections (c)(3) and (c)(4), and (ii) the materials transmitted by the Rent Board indicate that construction of the ADU would not result in the severance, substantial reduction, or removal without just cause of any tenant housing service set forth in Administrative Code Section 37.2(r) that is supplied in the area of the property or building where the ADU would be constructed, unless the property owner

demonstrates that the tenant supplied with that housing service has given their express written consent for the severance, substantial reduction, or removal of the housing service. (5) Except as provided in subsections (6), (7), and (8) below, an ADU shall be constructed (i) entirely within the buildable area of an existing lot, provided that the ADU does not include a vertical addition, or (ii) within the built envelope of an existing and authorized detached garage, storage structure, or other detached structure on the same lot. For purposes of this subsection 207.1, a “detached” structure or ADU shall not share structural walls with either the primary structure or any other structure on the lot. For purposes of this subsection 207.1, the “built envelope” shall include the open area under an existing and authorized cantilevered room or room built on columns; decks, except for decks that are supported by columns or walls other than the building wall to which they are attached and are multi-level or more than 10 feet above grade; and lightwell infills provided that the infill will be against a blank neighboring wall at the property line and not visible from any off-site location; as these spaces exist as of July 11, 2016. An ADU constructed entirely within the existing built envelope, as defined in this subsection 207.1, along with permitted obstructions allowed in Section 136(c)(32), of an existing building or authorized detached structure on the same lot, or where an existing detached garage or storage structure has been expanded to add dormers, is exempt from the notification requirements of Section 311 of this Code. If the existing building or authorized detached structure on the same lot is designated individually or as part of a historic or conservation district pursuant to Article 10 or Article 11, the notification requirements of Article 10 or Article 11 will apply. If an ADU will be constructed under a cantilevered room or deck that encroaches into the required rear yard, a pre-application meeting that complies with the Planning Commission’s Pre-Application policy is required. (6) When a detached garage, storage, or other auxiliary structure is being converted to an ADU, an expansion to the envelope is allowed to add dormers even if the detached garage, storage structure, or other auxiliary structure is in the required rear yard. (7) On a corner lot, a legal detached nonconforming garage, storage structure, or other auxiliary structure may be expanded within its existing footprint by up to one additional story in order to create a consistent street wall and improve the continuity of buildings on the block. (8) ADUs shall comply with any applicable controls in Planning Code Section 134(f). (9) An ADU shall not be constructed using space from an existing Dwelling Unit, except that an ADU may expand into habitable space on the ground or basement floors provided that it does not exceed 25% of the total gross square footage of such space on the ground and basement floors. The Zoning Administrator may waive this 25% limitation if (i) the resulting space would not be usable or would be impractical to use for other reasonable uses, including, but not limited to, storage or bicycle parking or (ii) waiving the limitation would help relieve any negative layout issues for the proposed ADU. (10) An existing building undergoing seismic retrofitting may be eligible for a height increase pursuant to subsection 207.1(f) below. (11) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Code, an ADU authorized under this Section 207.1 may not be merged with an original unit(s). (12) An ADU shall not be permitted in any building in a Neighborhood Commercial District or in the Chinatown Community Business or Visitor Retail Districts if it would eliminate or reduce a ground-story retail space, unless the Accessory Dwelling Unit is a Designated Child Care Unit, as defined in Section 102, and meets all applicable standards of Planning Code Section 414A.6(e). (13) An Accessory Dwelling Unit shall not be permitted under this Section 207.1 if it would result in the reduction or removal of on-site laundry service, unless that laundry service is replaced with at least the same number or capacity of washers and dryers within the same building and as accessible as before to all building tenants. (14) An application for a permit solely to construct an ADU in a proposed building pursuant to this subsection 207.1(c) shall not be subject to the notification requirements of Section 311 of this Code; however, any application for a permit to construct the proposed building shall be subject to any applicable notification requirements of Section 311 of this Code. (15) In addition to any ADUs permitted under this Section 207.1 within the primary structure, one detached ADU shall be permitted within the required rear yard if it complies with the following requirements: (A) The proposed ADU is located at least four feet from the side and rear lot lines and has a height no greater than sixteen feet. (B) The Gross Floor Area of a detached ADU that provides one bedroom or less shall not exceed 850 square feet. The Gross Floor Area of a detached ADU that provides more than one bedroom shall not exceed 1,000 square feet. (d) Prohibition of Short-Term Rentals. An ADU shall not be used for Short-Term Residential Rentals under Chapter 41A of the Administrative Code, which restriction shall be recorded as a Notice of Special Restriction on the subject lot. (e) Restrictions on Subdivisions. Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 9 of the Subdivision Code, a lot with an ADU authorized under this Section 207.1 shall not be subdivided in a manner that would allow for the ADU to be sold or separately financed pursuant to any condominium plan, housing cooperative, or similar form of separate ownership. This prohibition on sep

n on the subject lot. (e) Restrictions on Subdivisions. Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 9 of the Subdivision Code, a lot with an ADU authorized under this Section 207.1 shall not be subdivided in a manner that would allow for the ADU to be sold or separately financed pursuant to any condominium plan, housing cooperative, or similar form of separate ownership. This prohibition on separate sale or finance of the ADU shall not apply to an ADU: (1) that is located in a building that consisted entirely of condominium units as of July 11, 2013, and has had no evictions pursuant to Sections 37.9(a) through 37.9(a)(12) and 37.9(a) (14) of the Administrative Code since July 11, 1996; or (2) that meets the requirements of California Government Code Section 66341. (f) Buildings Undergoing Seismic Retrofitting. For ADUs on lots with a building undergoing mandatory seismic retrofitting in compliance with Chapter 4D of the Existing Building Code or voluntary seismic retrofitting in compliance with the Department of Building Inspection’s Administrative Bulletin 094, the following additional provision applies: If allowed by the Building Code, a building in which an ADU is constructed may be raised up to three feet to create ground floor ceiling heights suitable for residential use. Such a raise in height (1) Shall be exempt from the notification requirements of Section 311 of this Code; and (2) May expand a noncomplying structure, as defined in Section 180(a)(2) of this Code and further regulated in Sections 172, 180, and 188, without obtaining a variance for increasing the discrepancy between existing conditions on the lot and the required standards of this Code. (3) On lots where an ADU is added in coordination with a building undergoing mandatory seismic retrofitting in compliance with Chapter 4D of the Existing Building Code or voluntary seismic retrofitting in compliance with the Department of Building Inspection’s Administrative Bulletin 094, the building and the new ADU shall maintain any eligibility to enter the condo-conversion lottery and may only be subdivided if the entire property is selected on the condo-conversion lottery. (4) Pursuant to subsection 207.1(c)(1), there is no limit on the number of ADUs that are permitted to be added in connection with a seismic retrofit, as long as all health and safety requirements are met. (g) Waiver of Code Requirements; Applicability of Rent Ordinance. Pursuant to the provisions of Section 307(l) of this Code, the Zoning Administrator may grant a complete or partial waiver of the density limits and bicycle parking, rear yard, exposure, or open space standards of this Code for ADUs constructed within an existing building, and may grant a waiver of the density limits of this Code for ADUs constructed within a proposed building. If the Zoning Administrator grants a complete or partial waiver of the requirements of this Code and the subject lot contains any Rental Units at the time an application for a building permit is filed for construction of the ADU(s), the property owner(s) shall enter into a Regulatory Agreement with the City under subsection 207.1(h) subjecting the ADU(s) to the San Francisco Residential Rent Stabilization and Arbitration Ordinance (Chapter 37 of the Administrative Code) as a condition of approval of the ADU(s). For purposes of this requirement, Rental Units shall be as defined in Section 37.2(r) of the Administrative Code. (h) Regulatory Agreements. A Regulatory Agreement required by subsection 207.1(g) as a condition of approval of an Accessory Dwelling Unit shall contain the following: (1) a statement that the ADU(s) are not subject to the Costa Hawkins Rental Housing Act (California Civil Code Section 1954.50) because, under Section 1954.52(b), the owner has entered into this agreement with the City in consideration for a complete or partial waiver of the density limits, and/or bicycle parking, rear yard, exposure, or open space standards of this Code or other direct financial contribution or other form of assistance specified in California Government Code Sections 65915 et seq. (“Agreement”); and (2) a description of the complete or partial waiver of Code requirements granted by the Zoning Administrator or other direct financial contribution or form of assistance provided to the property owner; and (3) a description of the remedies for breach of the Agreement and other provisions to ensure implementation and compliance with the Agreement. (4) The property owner and the Planning Director (or the Director’s designee), on behalf of the City, will execute the Agreement, which shall be reviewed and approved by the City Attorney’s Office. The Agreement shall be executed prior to the City’s issuance of the First Construction Document for the project, as defined in Section 107A.13.1 of the San Francisco Building Code. (5) Following execution of the Regulatory Agreement by all parties and approval by the City Attorney, the Regulatory Agreement or a memorandum thereof shall be recorded against the property and shall be binding on all future owners and successors in interest. The Planning Department shall note the existence of any recorded Regulatory Agreement applicable to the ADU on a publicly-accessible website. Any Regulatory Agreement entered into under this Section 207.1 shall not preclude a landlord from establishing the initial rental rate pursuant to Section 1954.53 of the Costa Hawkins Rental Housing Act.

(i) Monitoring Program. (1) Monitoring and Enforcement of Unit Affordability. The Department shall establish a system to monitor the affordability of the Accessory Dwelling Units authorized to be constructed by this Section 207.1 and shall use such data to enforce the requirements of the Regulatory Agreements entered into pursuant to subsection 207.1(h). Property owners shall provide the Department with rent information as requested by the Department. The Board of Supervisors recognizes that property owners and tenants generally consider rental information sensitive and do not want it publicly disclosed. The intent of the Board is for the Department to obtain the information for purposes of monitoring and enforcement but that its public disclosure is not linked to specific individuals or units. The Department shall consult with the City Attorney's Office with respect to the legal requirements to determine how best to achieve the intent of the Board. (2) Monitoring of Prohibition on Use as Short Term Rentals. The Department shall collect data on the use of ADUs authorized to be constructed by this Section 207.1 as Short- Term Residential Rentals, as that term is defined in Administrative Code Section 41A.4, and shall use such data to evaluate and enforce Notices of Special Restriction pursuant to Section 207.1(d) and the requirements of Administrative Code Chapter 41A. (3) Department Report. As part of the annual Housing Inventory, the Department shall report the types of units being developed pursuant to this Section 207.1, their affordability rates, their use as Short-Term Residential Rentals, and such additional information as the Director or the Board of Supervisors determines would inform decision makers and the public on the effectiveness and implementation of this Section 207.1, and shall include recommendations for any amendments to the requirements of this Section 207.1.

(a) Exception to Dwelling Unit Density Limits for Certain Accessory Dwelling Units Under the State-Mandated Program. An exception to the calculations under Section 207 of this Code shall be made for Accessory Dwelling Units (“ADUs”) and Junior Accessory Dwelling Units (“JADUs”), as defined in Section 102 of this Code, meeting the requirements of this Section 207.2 and California Government Code Sections 66314 through 66333, which require ministerial consideration of ADUs and JADUs that meet certain standards. (b) Applicability. This Section 207.2 shall apply to the construction of ADUs and JADUs in or attached to existing or proposed dwellings, or in a detached structure on the same lot, if the ADU meets the applicable requirements of this Section 207.2 and California Government Code Sections 66314 through 66333. An ADU constructed pursuant to this Section 207.2 is considered a residential use that is consistent with the General Plan and the zoning designation for the lot. Adding an ADU or JADU in compliance with this Section 207.2 does not exceed the allowable density for the lot. Planning Director Bulletin No. 3, entitled “State Accessory Dwelling Unit Program,” sets forth a comprehensive list of State and local requirements applicable to ADUs approved under this Section 207.2. (c) Streamlined ADUs Under Government Code Sections 66323 and 66333. California Government Code Sections 66323 and 66333 require ministerial consideration of ADUs and JADUs that meet certain standards (“Streamlined ADUs”). The City shall approve Streamlined ADUs meeting the following requirements, in addition to the requirements of Government Code Sections 66323 and 66333: (1) A detached, new construction Streamlined ADU on a lot containing a proposed or existing single-family dwelling shall not exceed the applicable height limit contained in subsection 207.2(d)(9), and shall be no greater than 850 square feet in Gross Floor Area for an ADU that provides one bedroom or less, and no greater than 1,000 square feet in Gross Floor Area for an ADU that provides more than one bedroom. (2) A detached, new construction Streamlined ADU on a lot containing a proposed or existing multifamily dwelling shall not exceed the applicable height limit contained in subsection 207.2(d)(9). (d) Attached and All Other State-Mandated ADUs. The purpose of this subsection 207.2(d) is to implement California Government Code Sections 66314 through 66333, which require streamlined, ministerial approval of ADUs meeting certain standards that are not eligible for approval under California Government Code Section 66323. An ADU located on a lot that is zoned for single-family or multifamily use and contains an existing or proposed dwelling, and that is constructed pursuant to this subsection 207.2(d), shall meet all of the following requirements, in addition to the requirements of subsection 207.2(b) and any other applicable standards; provided, however, that the City shall not impose any requirement for a zoning clearance or separate zoning review, any minimum or maximum size for an ADU, any size based upon a percentage of the proposed or existing primary dwelling, or any limits on lot coverage, floor area ratio, open space, front setbacks, and minimum lot size, for either attached or detached dwellings, that does not permit construction of an ADU meeting all other requirements that is 800 square feet or less in Gross Floor Area, 16 feet or less in height, and with four foot side and rear yard setbacks. ADUs under this subsection 207.2(d) shall meet the following conditions: (1) Only one ADU will be constructed. (2) The ADU will be located on a lot that is zoned for single-family or multifamily use and contains an existing or proposed dwelling. (3) The lot on which the ADU is proposed does not contain another ADU or JADU. (4) The ADU is either (A) attached to or will be constructed entirely within the proposed or existing primary dwelling, including attached garages, storage areas, or similar uses, or an accessory structure on the same lot, or (B) attached to or will be constructed entirely within a proposed or legally existing detached structure on the same lot, or (C) detached from the proposed or existing primary dwelling and located on the same lot as the proposed or existing primary dwelling. (5) Size Limits. (A) Attached ADU Size Limit. If there is an existing primary dwelling, the Gross Floor Area of an attached ADU that provides one bedroom or less shall not exceed 50% of the Gross Floor Area of the existing primary dwelling or 850 square feet, whichever is greater. If there is an existing primary dwelling, the Gross Floor Area of an attached ADU that provides more than one bedroom shall not exceed 50% of the Gross Floor Area of the existing primary dwelling or 1,000 square feet, whichever is greater. (B) Detached ADU Size Limit. The Gross Floor Area of a detached ADU that provides one bedroom or less shall not exceed 850 square feet. The Gross Floor Area of a detached ADU that provides more than one bedroom shall not exceed 1,000 square feet. (6) Passageway. No passageway shall be required in conjunction with construction of an ADU. (7) Setbacks. No setback is required for an ADU located within an existing living area or an existing accessory structure, or an ADU that replaces an existing structure and is located in the same location and constructed to the same dimensions as the structure being replaced. A setback of no more than four feet from the side and rear lot lines shall be required for an ADU that is not converted from either an existing structure or a new structure constructed in the same location and to the same dimensions as an existing structure; provided, however, that for an ADU that is part of new construction, such setback shall be required only for the portions of the ADU outside of the buildable area of the

ur feet from the side and rear lot lines shall be required for an ADU that is not converted from either an existing structure or a new structure constructed in the same location and to the same dimensions as an existing structure; provided, however, that for an ADU that is part of new construction, such setback shall be required only for the portions of the ADU outside of the buildable area of the lot. (8) Garages. When a garage, carport, or covered parking structure is proposed to be demolished in conjunction with the construction of an ADU or converted to an ADU, replacement of those off-street parking spaces is not required; and a permit to demolish a detached garage that is to be replaced with an ADU shall be reviewed with the application to construct the ADU and issued at the same time. (9) Height limits. The ADU shall not exceed the following height limits: (A) A height of 18 feet for a detached ADU on a lot with an existing or proposed dwelling. An additional two feet in height is allowed to accommodate a roof pitch on the ADU that is aligned with the roof pitch of the primary dwelling unit. (B) A height of 25 feet for an ADU that is attached to the primary dwelling. (10) Historic Resources. For projects involving a property listed in the California Register of Historic Places, or a property designated individually or as part of a historic or conservation district pursuant to Article 10 or Article 11 of this Code, the ADU or JADU shall comply with any objective architectural review standards adopted by the Historic Preservation Commission to prevent adverse impacts to such historic resources. Such projects shall not be required to obtain a Certificate of Appropriateness or a Permit to Alter.

(e) Permit Application Review and Approval. No requests for discretionary review shall be accepted by the Planning Department for an ADU or JADU meeting the requirements of this Section 207.2. The Planning Commission shall not hold a public hearing for discretionary review of an ADU or JADU meeting the requirements of this Section 207.2. An ADU or JADU meeting the requirements of this Section 207.2 shall not be subject to the notification or review requirements of Section 311 of this Code. (f) Prohibition of Short-Term Rentals. An ADU or JADU authorized under this Section 207.2 shall not be used for Short-Term Residential Rentals under Chapter 41A of the Administrative Code. (g) Rental; Restrictions on Subdivisions. An ADU or JADU constructed pursuant to this Section 207.2 may be rented and is subject to all applicable provisions of the Residential Rent Stabilization and Arbitration Ordinance (Chapter 37 of the Administrative Code). Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 9 of the Subdivision Code, a lot with an ADU or JADU authorized under this Section 207.2 shall not be subdivided in a manner that would allow for the ADU or JADU to be sold or separately financed pursuant to any condominium plan, housing cooperative, or similar form of separate ownership, except that this prohibition on separate sale or finance of the ADU shall not apply to an ADU that meets the requirements of either: California Government Code Section 66341, or Section 207.4 and Subdivision Code Section 1316. (h) Recordation for Junior ADUs. The following restrictions shall be recorded as a Notice of Special Restriction, as required by California Government Code Section 66333(c), on the subject lot on which a JADU is constructed under this Section 207.2 and shall be binding on all future owners and successors in interest: (1) Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 9 of the Subdivision Code, a lot with a JADU authorized under this Section 207.2 shall not be subdivided in a manner that would allow for the JADU to be sold or separately financed pursuant to any condominium plan, housing cooperative, or similar form of separate ownership, except that this prohibition on separate sale or finance of the JADU shall not apply to a JADU that meets the requirements of California Government Code Section 66333(f). (2) The size and attributes of a JADU constructed pursuant to this Section 207.2 shall comply with the requirements of this Section 207.2 and California Government Code Section 66333. (i) Department Report. As part of the annual Housing Inventory, the Department shall report the types of units being developed pursuant to this Section 207.2, their affordability rates, and such other information as the Director or the Board of Supervisors determines would inform decision-makers and the public. (j) Fees. No impact fees shall be imposed on ADUs or JADUs authorized under this Section 207.2, where the ADU or JADU is smaller than 750 square feet of Gross Floor Area, or for ADUs that are proposed in lots with three existing units or fewer.

CODIFICATION NOTE

1. As adopted by Ord. 62-24, Section 207.2 contained two subsections designated (i).

EXISTING BUILDING ZONED FOR RESIDENTIAL USE. (See Interpretations related to this Section) Notwithstanding Section 207.2 or any other provision of this Code, certain dwelling units that were constructed without benefit of permit in an existing residential building or in an ancillary structure located on the same lot may be granted legal status subject to the conditions and procedures set forth below. For purposes of this Section 207.3, a dwelling unit shall not include single room occupancy units. (a) Purpose and Findings. (1) In California Government Code Section 65852.150, the Legislature declared that second units are a valuable form of housing in California because they "provide housing for family members, students, the elderly, in-home health care providers, the disabled, and others, at below market prices within existing neighborhoods" and that "homeowners who create second units benefit from added income, and an increased sense of security." (2) San Francisco has long had a housing shortage, especially of affordable housing. The housing market continues to be tight and housing costs are beyond the reach of many households. Policy 1.5 of the City's 2009 Housing Element states that secondary units in existing residential buildings represents a simple and cost-effective method of expanding the City's housing supply. (3) The City has no definitive information on the number of dwelling units that have been added to existing residential buildings without the benefit of a permit, but unofficial estimates indicate that as many as 30,000 to 40,000 such dwelling units exist as of 2013. Often these illegal units have been built in the basements, garages, and attics of existing buildings or in rear-yard structures. While many of these units may not meet existing Planning Code requirements, they constitute a major supply of San Francisco's affordable housing units, often meet life and safety standards, and may require only exceptions from density, open space, and other Planning Code requirements in order to become legal. (4) Providing a mechanism to grant legal status to an illegally constructed dwelling unit in an existing building zoned for residential use furthers several public policy objectives. By encouraging the legalization of these units, the City can add legitimate units to the City's supply of affordable housing, ensure that these units are safe and habitable, and properly include these units when calculating the City's existing housing supply. (b) Scope. (1) Except as provided in subsection (2) below, this Section 207.3 shall apply to an existing building or an ancillary structure on the same lot, that is located in a district where residential use is principally permitted, and that has one or more dwelling units that were constructed prior to January 1, 2013 without benefit of permit and used as residential space. One of the unauthorized dwelling units on the lot that meet this threshold requirement and the requirements of this Section may be granted legal status under this Section, regardless of the density limits of the zoning district. (2) No-fault Eviction. The Department shall not approve an application for legalization if any tenant has been evicted from the unit pursuant to Administrative Code Sections 37.9(a) (9) through (a)(14) where the tenant was served with the notice of eviction after March 13, 2014 if the notice was served within ten (10) years prior to filing the application for legalization. Additionally, the Department shall not approve an application for legalization of the unit if any tenant has been evicted pursuant to Administrative Code Section 37.9(a)(8) where the tenant was served with a notice of eviction after March 13, 2014 if the notice was served within five (5) years prior to filing the application for legalization. The Department shall verify with the Rent Board that no no-fault eviction had been filed. This subsection (b)(2) shall not apply if the tenant was evicted under Administrative Code Section 37.9(a)(11) and the applicant(s) have either: (A) certified that the original tenant reoccupied the unit after the temporary eviction or (B) submitted to the Department a declaration from the property owner or the tenant certifying that the property owner or the Rent Board has notified the tenant of the tenant's right to reoccupy the unit after the temporary eviction and the tenant chose not to reoccupy it. (c) Notices of Violation. If the Director or Zoning Administrator has issued a notice of violation for the unauthorized unit for which legalization is being sought and all violations would be corrected by legalization of the unit, the Director or Zoning Administrator shall: (1) temporarily suspend the notice of violation and enforcement action upon initiation of the legalization process by the owner or owner's authorized agent and acceptance of the required applications by the City; and (2) rescind the notice of violation and remove any related liens on the property if legalization of the unit is approved within one year of initiation of the process set forth in subsection (d). (d) Legalization Application. The Department shall approve an application to legalize an existing dwelling unit if the unit complies with Planning Code requirements as specified in subsection (e) below and with other City codes as specified in subsection (f) below, if the Rent Board verifies that no no-fault eviction was filed pursuant to subsection (b)(2) above, and if the permit application is completed at and plans approved by the Department of Building Inspection. In compliance with the State's Second Unit Law (California Government Code

65852.2), the Department shall exercise ministerial approval of the application if the dwelling unit is in a single-family home and thus within the scope of the State's Second Unit Law. (e) Compliance with Planning Code Requirements; Exceptions. (1) A dwelling unit authorized under this Section 207.3 must satisfy all applicable requirements of this Code except for the rear yard requirements set forth in Section 134, the usable open space requirements set forth in Section 135, and the light and air requirements set forth in Section 140, and except as otherwise provided in this Section 207.3. (2) One such dwelling unit on the lot is allowed to exceed the permitted density authorized for that zoning district provided that a residential use is principally permitted in that zoning district. Authorization of an additional unit over the density limits will not change the official zoning classification of the lot; provided, however, that the additional dwelling unit shall count towards the density limits if the parcel is under its density limit capacity. (3) Off-street parking requirements may be reduced to the extent necessary to retain dwelling units authorized under this Section 207.3, without requiring compliance with Sections 305, 161(j) or 307(g) or (i) of this Code. (f) Compliance With Other City Codes. A dwelling unit authorized under this Section 207.3 must meet all applicable provisions of other City codes other than the provisions of the Planning Code cited in subsection (e). Any Code equivalencies authorized under the Building Code, Electrical Code, Plumbing Code, Mechanical Code, Fire Code, or other applicable Code shall be considered by the relevant agency. Legalization of a dwelling unit under this Section 207.3 shall not affect whether the dwelling unit is subject to the Residential Rent Stabilization and Arbitration Ordinance (Chapter 37 of the Administrative Code). A dwelling unit that was subject to the Residential Rent Stabilization and Arbitration Ordinance prior to legalization under this Section 207.3 shall remain subject to the Residential Rent Stabilization and Arbitration Ordinance after legalization. Landlords shall pay relocation assistance to tenants who are temporarily displaced due to work required for dwelling unit legalization pursuant to the provisions in Section 37.9C of the Residential Rent Stabilization and Arbitration Ordinance or California Civil Code Section 1947.9 for displacements of less than 20 days. (g) Additional Dwelling Unit Considered a Lawful Nonconforming Use. Any dwelling unit authorized under this Section 207.3 shall be considered a lawful nonconforming use subject to the provisions of Planning Code Sections 180 through 189; provided, however, that expansion of the additional dwelling unit within the building envelope shall be permitted as part of the legalization process. (h) Subdivision and Lot Splits Prohibited. Notwithstanding the provisions of Article 9 of the Subdivision Code, a lot with an additional unit authorized under this Section 207.3 may not be subdivided in a manner that would allow for the additional unit to be sold or separately financed pursuant to any condominium plan, housing cooperative, or similar form of separate ownership. (i) Merging Secondary and Original Units. If the property owner wants to merge the secondary and original units, the owner may request merger pursuant to Section 317 of this Code. If the Planning Department or Commission approves the merger, the secondary unit will be removed from the Planning Department's Master List and the Assessor-Recorder's records after the final certificate of occupancy is obtained and the merger has occurred . (j) Reports. Six months from the effective date of this Section 207.3 and every six months for the first three years after the effective date, the Zoning Administrator and the Director of the Department of Building Inspection shall issue a joint report on the effectiveness of the additional dwelling unit authorization program. After three years, the report will be included in the City's Annual Housing Inventory. The report shall, at a minimum, state the number of screening forms and building permit applications that have been filed pursuant to this Section 207.3. For the first three years, copies of these reports shall be submitted to the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors, the Mayor, and the Controller. Upon receiving the reports one year and two years after the effective date, the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors shall schedule a public hearing for each report on the agenda of the appropriate Board of Supervisors committee to consider the effectiveness of the program. (k) Master List of Additional Dwelling Units Approved. The Planning Department shall create and maintain a master list of dwelling units approved pursuant to the provisions of this Section 207.3 and corresponding property addresses for use by the San Francisco Rent Stabilization and Arbitration Board, Tax Assessor, and other interested City departments, boards or commissions.

EASTERN NEIGHBORHOODS MIXED USE DISTRICTS, THE VAN NESS & MARKET RESIDENTIAL SPECIAL USE DISTRICT, AND THE POLK STREET AND PACIFIC AVENUE NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL DISTRICTS.

(a) Purpose. In order to foster flexible and creative infill development while maintaining the character of the district, dwelling unit density is not controlled by lot area in RTO-1, RTO- M, NCT, and Eastern Neighborhoods Mixed Use Districts but rather by the physical constraints of this Code (such as height, bulk, setbacks, open space, and dwelling unit exposure). However, to ensure an adequate supply of family-sized units in existing and new housing stock, new residential construction must include a minimum percentage of units of at least two bedrooms. In the Pacific Avenue and Polk Street Neighborhood Commercial Districts, and the Van Ness & Market Residential Special Use District, a dwelling unit mix requirement addresses the need for family-sized housing production in these districts. (b) Applicability. (1) This Section 207.6 shall apply in the RTO-1, RTO-M, RCD, NCT, DTR, Eastern Neighborhoods Mixed Use Districts, the Van Ness & Market Residential Special Use District, and the Pacific Avenue and Polk Street NCDs. (2) This Section shall apply to all applications for building permits and/or Planning Commission entitlements that propose the creation of five or more Dwelling Units. (3) This Section does not apply to buildings for which 100 percent of the residential uses are: Group Housing, Dwelling Units that are provided at below market rates pursuant to Section 406(b)(1) of this Code, Single Room Occupancy (SRO) Units, Student Housing (all as defined in Section 102 of this Code) or housing specifically and permanently designated for seniors or persons with physical disabilities. (4) This Section 207.6 shall not apply to applications for permits or entitlements to construct Accessory Dwelling Units or Junior Accessory Dwelling Units. (c) Controls. For all RTO-1, RTO-M, RCD and NCT districts, as well as DTR, Eastern Neighborhoods Mixed Use Districts, the Van Ness & Market Residential Special Use District, and the Pacific Avenue and Polk Street NCDs, one of the following three must apply: (1) no less than 40% of the total number of proposed Dwelling Units shall contain at least two bedrooms. Any fraction resulting from this calculation shall be rounded to the nearest whole number of Dwelling Units, or (2) no less than 30% of the total number of proposed Dwelling Units shall contain at least three bedrooms. Any fraction resulting from this calculation shall be rounded to the nearest whole number of Dwelling Units, or (3) no less than 35% of the total number of proposed Dwelling Units shall contain at least two or three bedrooms with at least 10% of the total number of proposed Dwelling Units containing three bedrooms. Any fraction resulting from this calculation shall be rounded to the nearest whole number of Dwelling Units. (d) Modifications. (1) In NCT, RCD, RTO-1, RTO-M and the Pacific Avenue and Polk Street NC Districts, these requirements may be waived or modified with Conditional Use authorization. In addition to those conditions set forth in Section 303, the Planning Commission shall consider the following criteria: (A) The project demonstrates a need or mission to serve unique populations, or (B) The project site or existing building(s), if any, feature physical constraints that make it unreasonable to fulfill these requirements. (2) In Eastern Neighborhoods Mixed Use Districts, these requirements may be waived in return for provision of family-sized affordable units, pursuant to Section 419 et seq. To receive this waiver, 100% of the total number of inclusionary units required under Section 415 et seq. or Section 419 et seq. shall contain at least two bedrooms. Also in Eastern Neighborhoods Mixed Use Districts, these requirements may be waived or modified through the Variance process set forth in Section 305, or in the case of projects subject to Section 329, through the procedures of that section. (3) In DTR Districts, these requirements may be modified per the procedures of Section 309.1. (4) In the Van Ness & Market Residential Special Use District, these requirements may only be modified pursuant to the procedures of Section 309, regardless of the underlying zoning district. (e) Monitoring. The Department shall monitor projects that choose Option (2) or (3) in subsection (c) above and shall include that data in the annual Housing Inventory starting in 2019.

(a) Purpose. To ensure an adequate supply of family-sized units in new housing stock, new residential construction must include a minimum percentage of units of at least two and three bedrooms. (b) Applicability. (1) This Section 207.7 shall apply to all applications for building permits and/or Planning Commission entitlements that propose the creation of 10 or more Dwelling Units in all districts that allow residential uses, unless that project is located in the RTO-1, RTO-M, RCD, NCT, DTR, and Eastern Neighborhoods Mixed Use Districts, or in an area or Special Use District with higher specific bedroom mix requirements, or is a HOME SF project subject to the requirements of Planning Code Section 206.3. (2) This Section 207.7 shall not apply to buildings for which 100% of the residential uses are: Group Housing, Dwelling Units that are provided at below market rates pursuant to Section 406(b)(1) of this Code, Single Room Occupancy (SRO) Units, Student Housing (all as defined in Section 102 of this Code), or housing specifically and permanently designated for seniors or persons with physical disabilities, including units to be occupied by staff serving any of the foregoing residential uses. This Section 207.7 shall apply to Student Housing unless the educational institution with which it is affiliated has an Institutional Master Plan that the City has accepted, as required under Planning Code Section 304.5. (3) This Section 207.7 shall not apply to projects that filed a complete Environmental Evaluation Application on or prior to January 12, 2016, or to projects that have received an approval, including approval by the Planning Commission, as of June 15, 2017. (4) In accordance with Section 210.5, this Section 207.7 shall not apply to Commercial to Residential Adaptive Reuse projects. (5) This Section 207.7 shall not apply to applications for permits or entitlements to construct Accessory Dwelling Units or Junior Accessory Dwelling Units. (c) Controls. In all residential districts subject to this Section 207.7 , the following criteria shall apply: (1) No less than 25% of the total number of proposed dwelling units shall contain at least two bedrooms. Any fraction resulting from this calculation shall be rounded to the nearest whole number of dwelling units; (2) No less than 10% of the total number of proposed dwelling units shall contain at least three bedrooms. Any fraction resulting from this calculation shall be rounded to the nearest whole number of dwelling units. Units counted towards this requirement may also count towards the requirement for units with two or more bedrooms as described in subsection (c)(1). (d) Modifications. (1) These requirements may be waived or modified with Conditional Use Authorization. In addition to those conditions set forth in Section 303, the Planning Commission shall consider the following criteria: (A) The project demonstrates a need or mission to serve unique populations, or

(B) The project site or existing building(s), if any, feature physical constraints that make it unreasonable to fulfill these requirements.

“BY-RIGHT.” (a) Purpose. This Section 207.9 establishes minimum residential and commercial density standards in Transit-Oriented Communities, as identified by the Metropolitan Transit Commission, and implements the City’s Housing Element obligations pursuant to Government Code 65583, including requirements for both minimum densities and approval of certain projects on Housing Element Sites. Consistent with the Transit-Oriented Communities Policies of the Metropolitan Transportation Commission, this Section establishes the minimum Dwelling Unit densities for residential development and minimum intensities for Office use. Consistent with Government Code Sections 65583.2(c), and (h), this Section permits certain types of housing projects as a “use by right,” as that term is defined in Government Code Section 65583.2(i). (b) Minimum Dwelling Unit Density. (1) Applicability. (A) Transit-Oriented Community Tiers. This Section 207.9 applies to all projects proposing new construction of one or more Residential Buildings on sites that do not already contain Residential uses unless such uses are demolished, and that are located in the geographic areas or satisfy the applicability criteria described in Table 207.9. These minimum residential densities shall apply only in zoning Districts where Residential uses are permitted. Changes of use of existing building space to Residential use, additions of Residential use to existing structures, and additions of Residential or Office uses to lots where such uses are already existing, and that are not proposed for demolition, are not subject to the requirements of this Section. (B) Housing Element Sites. Residential projects on sites identified pursuant to Government Code Section 65583.2(c) and (h) in which at least 20% of the units are set aside to households with incomes at 80% of Area Median Income or lower shall be approved “by-right” as that term is defined in Government Code Section 65583.2(i). (2) Minimum Densities. New construction proposing Dwelling Units on sites within the geographic areas described in Table 207.9 must provide at least the number of Dwelling Units specified in Table 207.9. Sites that meet more than one applicable Tier requirement in Table 207.9 shall comply with the higher minimum density. Fractions of units shall be rounded per Section 207(b)(1). For purposes of this Section 207.9, Accessory Dwelling Units shall count toward any minimum density requirement. (c) Minimum Office Intensity. (1) Applicability. This subsection (c) applies to all projects proposing new construction of Office use on sites that do not already contain Office uses, and that are located in the geographic areas or satisfy the applicability criteria described in Table 207.9; provided that the minimum Office intensities in this subsection (c) shall not exceed the amount of permissible Office use allowed in the District. These minimum densities shall only apply in Districts where Office uses are permitted. Changes of use of existing building space to Office use, additions of Office use to existing structures, and additions of Office uses to Lots where such uses are already existing, and that are not proposed for demolition are not subject to the requirements of this Section 207.9. (2) Minimum Intensity. New construction proposing Office use on sites within the geographic areas described in Table 207.9 must comply with the FAR requirements in Table 207.9. Table 207.9 MINIMUM DENSITIES REQUIRED FOR RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT AND MINIMUM INTENSITIES FOR OFFICE USE

Applicability Minimum Dwelling Unit Density Minimum Intensity for Office Use Transit-Oriented Communities Tier 1: Sites within a half-mile of Embarcadero, Montgomery, Powell, or Civic Center BART stations; and Salesforce Transbay Transit Center.* 100 units per acre Floor Area Ratio 4:1 Transit-Oriented Communities Tier 2: Sites within a half-mile of 16th Street, 24th Street, Glen Park, or Balboa Park BART stations.* 75 units per acre Floor Area Ratio 3:1 Transit-Oriented Communities Tier 3: Sites within a half-mile of all Muni rail stops on the F, J, K, L, M, N, or T lines; Caltrain Stations; and Van Ness Bus Rapid Transit Stops (i.e. stops on Van Ness Avenue between and including Market Street and Union Street).* 50 units per acre Floor Area Ratio 2:1 Transit-Oriented Communities Tier 4: Sites within a half-mile of all ferry terminals, including the Ferry Building, 16th Street/Mission Bay, and Treasure Island; and all other locations subject to the applicability of Section 207.9.* 50 units per acre Floor Area Ratio 1:1 Sites identified as Reused Sites in the 2022 Housing Element Update.** 50 units per acre N/A Sites identified as Appropriate for Very Low Income or Low Income Households in the 2022 Housing Element Update.*** 50 units per acre N/A

• As used in Table 207.9, the distance of one-half mile shall be measured in accordance with the methodology established by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission. ** Housing Projects in which at least 20% of the units are set aside to households with incomes at 80% of Area Median Income or lower on sites in this category shall be approved consistent with California Government Code Section 65583.2(c) and (i).

*** Housing Projects in which at least 20% of the units are set aside to households with incomes at 80% of Area Median Income or lower on sites in this category shall be approved consistent with California Government Code Section 65583.2(h) and (i). (d) Gross Floor Area. For purposes of determining the Gross Floor Area of a development Lot subject to this Section 207.9, the calculation shall exclude Gross Floor Area to be dedicated for publicly accessible streets. In instances where portions of a Lot are unbuildable due to topographic or geologic conditions, a development is proposed on only a portion of the Lot, or the Lot is otherwise constrained, the Zoning Administrator is authorized to determine that a smaller portion of a Lot shall serve as the development Lot. (e) Mixed-uses. For purposes of determining minimum Residential Density and Office Intensity, as long as one of the land uses satisfies the minimum Residential Density and/or Office Intensity the respective land uses are prorated to comply individually. (f) Conditional Use Authorizations for Projects that Fail to Comply with this Section. Projects that fail to comply with the objective standards in this Section 207.9 shall be considered non-code-compliant. If not otherwise prohibited by the Code, a project may not comply with the minimum Residential Density and Office Intensity, if the Planning Commission approves a Conditional Use Authorization. (Added by Ord. 245-25, File No. 250701, App. 12/12/2025, Eff. 1/12/2026, Oper. 1/12/2026)

(a) Purpose. To encourage new infill multi-family housing, limit the proliferation and expansion of large houses that do not increase the housing stock of moderately-priced units, support the preservation of existing housing that serves lower- and middle-income households, and encourage maximizing residential density, this Section 207.10 sets forth citywide maximum Dwelling Unit sizes. (b) Applicability. This Section 207.10 applies to projects proposing to construct one or more Dwelling Units for which a Development Application is filed after January 31, 2026, and the project proposes any of the following: (1) construction of new Dwelling Unit(s), including the construction of a Dwelling Unit where an existing unit is proposed for demolition as defined in Section 317(b)(2); (2) merger of two or more Dwelling Units as defined in Section 317(b)(7); or (3) reduction in the number of existing Dwelling Units. (c) Requirements. Any project that meets one or more of the criteria in subsection (b) shall be restricted to a maximum Dwelling Unit size of 4,000 square feet of Gross Floor Area or an equivalent Floor Area Ratio for any individual Dwelling Unit of 1.2:1, whichever is greater, except in the following conditions: (1) any new construction project of four to nine Dwelling Units, where not more than one Dwelling Unit exceeds 4,000 square feet of Gross Floor Area; or (2) any new construction project of 10 or more Dwelling Units, where not more than 10% of such units exceed 4,000 square feet of Gross Floor Area. (d) Conditional Use Authorizations for Projects that Fail to Comply with this Section. Projects that fail to comply with the objective standards in this Section 207.10 shall be considered non-code-compliant. If not otherwise prohibited by the Code, a project may exceed the maximum Dwelling Unit size, without satisfying the conditions in subsection (c), if the Planning Commission approves a Conditional Use Authorization for the larger Dwelling Unit(s). (e) Conditional Use Criteria. In addition to the criteria outlined in Planning Code Section 303(c), in acting upon an application for Conditional Use Authorization, the Planning Commission shall consider whether facts are presented to establish based on the record before the Commission, that all of the following criteria are met: (1) the proposed project meets applicable Residential Design Guidelines, Citywide Design Standards, and other applicable adopted guidelines or standards; (2) the proposed project does not propose to reduce the size of any other existing Dwelling Unit or negatively impact the characteristics of a Residential Flat, as set forth in Section 317(g); (3) the proposed project increases the number of Dwelling Units on the Lot and, if applicable, meets the applicable minimum density requirement under Section 207.9; and (4) the proposed project will not have specific adverse impacts on a Historic Building as defined in Planning Code Section 102 or would render the property ineligible for historic designation as an individual or contributing resource. (f) Calculation of Gross Floor Area. For the purposes of this Section 207.10, the following shall apply in the calculation of a Dwelling Unit’s total Gross Floor Area: (1) Gross Floor Area shall have the meaning set forth in Planning Code Section 401; (2) Shared spaces and common areas in multi-unit buildings shall not be included; (3) Storage areas, sheds, or other enclosed areas on the property that are accessory to and assigned to a specific Dwelling Unit but not contiguous with and directly accessible from the unit shall not be included; and (4) Gross Floor Area shall include (A) all expansions of the Residential Building for which a building permit was issued within the previous 10 years, and (B) any Gross Floor Area resulting from construction performed without a validly issued permit regardless of the date of construction.

(a) Purpose. This Section 207.11 implements the transit-oriented development policies in Senate Bill No. 79 (2025) (“SB79”), codified in California Government Code Sections 65912.155 et seq. That bill requires jurisdictions in certain urban transit counties to permit housing at specified densities and heights for development located near defined transit-oriented development stops, unless the jurisdiction makes findings that the sites are exempt, or adopts a transit-oriented development alternative plan (“Alternative Plan”). The density and height exception in this Section 207.11 facilitates the City’s adoption of its Alternative Plan. In the ordinance enacting this Section 207.11, on file in Board of Supervisors File No. 260132, the Board adopted the Alternative Plan, and made findings that certain parcels listed in that Board File are exempt from SB 79. (b) Applicability. This Section 207.11 applies to residential development projects on parcels meeting all of the following conditions: (1) Is partially or fully located within one-half mile of a “transit-oriented development stop,” as defined in California Government Code Section 65912.156. (2) Is located in a zoning district that principally permits residential Uses. (3) Either limits residential density by Numeric Density, or has a height limit of less than 40 feet. (4) Is located outside of the R-4 height and bulk district. (5) Is not seeking a density bonus pursuant to Section 206.6. (6) Is not a parcel permanently or temporarily exempted from SB79 pursuant to the ordinance enacting this Section 207.11, on file with the Clerk of the Board in File No. 260132. (7) Is not a parcel with a Historic Building that is individually designated as a landmark under Article 10 of this Code, listed as a contributor to an historic district listed in Article 10, or listed as a Significant or Contributory Building under Article 11 with a Category I, II, III, or IV rating. (8) The permitted density prior to applying the density and height exception in subsection (c) does not meet the minimum density required by California Government Code Section 65912.157. (c) Density and Height Exception. For a parcel meeting the criteria in subsection (b), the density and height exception in this subsection (c) shall apply.

(1) Additional Density. The applicable residential density limit for any housing development project located on a site meeting the criteria in subsection (b) shall be up to 50% of the density permitted on that parcel pursuant to the requirements in California Government Code Section 65912.157. For any parcel that is partially located in the Coastal Zone, the density exception shall apply to the entire parcel, however residential development shall be limited to the portions of the parcel located outside of the Coastal Zone. (2) Additional Height. For any housing development project located on a site meeting the criteria in subsection (b) and with a height limit of less than 40 feet, the applicable height limit shall be 40 feet.

The density limitations for Group Housing or Homeless Shelters, as described in Sections 102 and 890.88(b) and (c) of this Code, shall be as follows: (a) For Group Housing, the maximum number of Bedrooms on each Lot shall be as specified in the Zoning Control Table for the District in which the Lot is located, except that in RTO, RCD, UMU, MUG, WMUG, MUR, MUO, CMUO, WMUO, RED, RED-MX, SPD, DTR, and all NCT Districts the density of Group Housing shall not be limited by lot area, and except that for Lots in NC Districts, the group housing density shall not exceed the number of Bedrooms permitted in the nearest R District provided that the maximum density not be less than the amount permitted by the ratio specified for the NC District in which the lot is located. For Homeless Shelters, the maximum number of beds on each lot shall be regulated pursuant to the requirements of the Standards of Care for City Shelters contained in Administrative Code, Chapter 20, Article XIII, in addition to the applicable requirements of the Building Code and Fire Code. (b) For purposes of calculating the maximum density for Group Housing as set forth in this Section 208, the number of Bedrooms on a lot shall in no case be considered to be less than one Bedroom for each two beds. Where the actual number of beds exceeds an average of two beds for each Bedroom, each two beds shall be considered equivalent to one Bedroom. (c) The rules for calculating dwelling unit density set forth in Section 207 shall also apply in calculating the density limits for Group Housing. (d) The group housing density in all RTO Districts and all NCT Districts, as listed in Section 702.1(b), shall not be limited by lot area, but by the applicable requirements and limitations elsewhere in this Code, including but not limited to height, bulk, setbacks, open space, and exposure, as well as by the Residential Design Guidelines in RTO Districts, other applicable design guidelines, applicable elements and area plans of the General Plan, and design review by the Planning Department.

(See Interpretations related to this Section.) These Districts are intended to recognize and enhance areas characterized by dwellings in the form of houses and small multi-family buildings, usually with one, two, or three units with separate entrances, and limited scale in terms of building width and height, and characterized by rear yards and a pattern of mid-block open spaces. Such areas tend to have similarity of building styles and predominantly contain large units suitable for family occupancy, considerable open space, and limited nonresidential uses. In all RH Districts, multi-family buildings with four or more units are permitted under various provisions of this Code. The RH Districts are composed of five separate classes of districts, as follows: RH-1(D) Districts: One-Family (Detached Dwellings). These Districts are characterized by lots of greater width and area than in other parts of the City, and by single-family houses with side yards. The structures are relatively large, but rarely exceed 35 feet in height. Ground level open space and landscaping at the front and rear are usually abundant. Much of the development has been in sizable tracts with similarities of building style and narrow streets following the contours of hills. RH-1 Districts: One-Family. These Districts have been occupied almost entirely by single-family houses on lots 25 feet in width, without side yards. Floor sizes and building styles vary, but tend to be uniform within tracts developed in distinct time periods. Though built on separate lots, the structures have the appearance of small-scale row housing, rarely exceeding 35 feet in height. Front setbacks are common, and ground level open space is generous.

RH-1(S) Districts: One-Family with Minor Second Unit. These Districts are similar in character to RH-1 Districts, except that a small second dwelling unit has been installed in many structures, usually by conversion of a ground-story space formerly part of the main unit or devoted to storage. The second unit remains subordinate to the owner's unit, and may house one or two persons related to the owner or be rented to others. Despite these conversions, the structures retain the appearance of single-family dwellings. RH-2 Districts: Two-Family. These Districts have been historically developed with one-family and two-family houses, with the latter commonly consisting of two large flats, one occupied by the owner and the other available for rental. Structures are finely scaled and usually do not exceed 25 feet in width or 40 feet in height. Building styles are often more varied than in historically single-family areas, but certain streets and tracts are quite uniform. Considerable ground-level open space is available, and it frequently is private for each unit. The Districts may have easy access to shopping facilities and transit lines. In some cases, Group Housing and institutions are found in these areas, although nonresidential uses tend to be quite limited. RH-3 Districts: Three-Family. These Districts have many similarities to RH-2 Districts, but structures with three units are common in addition to one-family and two-family houses. The predominant form has historically been large flats rather than apartments, with lots 25 feet wide, a fine or moderate scale, and separate entrances for each unit. Building styles tend to be varied but complementary to one another. Outdoor space is available at ground level, and also on decks and balconies for individual units. Nonresidential uses are more common in these areas than in RH-2 Districts.

CODIFICATION NOTE

1. So in Ord. 245-25.

(See Interpretations related to this Section.) These Districts are intended to recognize, protect, conserve and enhance areas characterized by a mixture of houses and apartment buildings, covering a range of densities and building forms according to the individual district designations. Despite the range of densities and building sizes, most structures are of a scale that respects the traditional lot patterns, open spaces and articulation of fa ç ades typical of San Francisco neighborhoods. These Districts provide unit sizes and types suitable for a variety of households, and contain supporting nonresidential uses. The RM Districts are composed of four separate classes of districts, as follows: RM-1 Districts: Low Density. These Districts contain a mixture of the dwelling types found in RH Districts, but in addition have a significant number of apartment buildings that broaden the range of unit sizes and the variety of structures. A pattern of 25-foot to 35-foot building widths is retained, however, and structures rarely exceed 40 feet in height. The overall density of units remains low, buildings are moderately scaled and segmented, and units or groups of units have separate entrances. Outdoor space tends to be available at ground and upper levels regardless of the age and form of structures. Shopping facilities and transit lines may be found within a short distance of these districts. Nonresidential uses are often present to provide for the needs of residents. RM-2 Districts: Moderate Density. These Districts are generally similar to RM-1 Districts, but the overall density of units is greater and the mixture of building types and unit sizes is more pronounced. Building widths and scales remain moderate, and considerable outdoor space is still available. The unit density permitted requires careful design of new structures in order to provide adequate amenities for the residents. Where nonresidential uses are present, they tend to offer services for wider areas than in RM-1 Districts. RM-3 Districts: Medium Density. These Districts have some smaller structures, but are predominantly devoted to apartment buildings of six, eight, 10 or more units. Most of these districts are close to downtown and have been developed in this manner for some time. The units vary in size, but tend to be smaller than in RM-1 and RM-2 Districts. Many buildings exceed 40 feet in height, and in some cases additional buildings over that height may be accommodated without disruption of the district character. Although lots and buildings wider than 25 or 35 feet are common, the scale often remains moderate through sensitive fa ç ade design and segmentation. Open spaces are smaller, but decks and balconies are used to advantage for many units. Supporting nonresidential uses are often found in these areas. RM-4 Districts: High Density. These Districts are devoted almost exclusively to apartment buildings of high density, usually with smaller units, close to downtown. Buildings over 40 feet in height are very common, and other tall buildings may be accommodated in some instances. Despite the intensity of development, distinct building styles and moderation of fa ç ades are still to be sought in new development, as are open areas for the residents. Group housing is especially common in these districts, as well as supporting nonresidential uses.

(See Interpretations related to this Section.) These Districts are intended to recognize, protect, conserve, and enhance areas characterized by structures combining Residential uses with neighborhood-serving Commercial uses. The predominant Residential uses are preserved, while provision is made for supporting Commercial uses that meet the frequent needs of nearby residents without generating excessive vehicular traffic. The compact, walkable, transit-oriented and mixed-use nature of these Districts is recognized by no off-street parking requirements. The RC Districts are composed of two separate districts, as follows: RC-3 Districts. These Districts provide for Residential Uses, with supporting Commercial Uses. Open spaces are required for Dwellings in the same manner as in RM-3 Districts, except that rear yards need not be at ground level and front setback areas are not required. RC-4 Districts. These Districts provide for Residential Uses, with supporting Commercial uses. Open spaces are required for Dwellings in the same manner as in RM-4 Districts, except that rear yards need not be at ground level and front setback areas are not required.

RTO (Residential Transit Oriented) Districts, inclusive of RTO-1, RTO-M, and RTO-C Districts, are intended to recognize and enhance areas characterized by a mixture of houses and apartment buildings, covering a range of densities and building forms. RTO-1 (Residential, Transit -Oriented Neighborhood) and RTO-M (Residential Transit Oriented, Mission) Districts are composed of multi-family moderate-density areas, primarily areas formerly designated RM and RH-3. RTO-C (Residential Transit Oriented, Commercial) permits neighborhood- serving uses at limited sizes along with housing. RTO Districts are well served within short walking distance, generally less than one-quarter mile, of transit and neighborhood commercial areas. Transit available on nearby streets is frequent and/or provides multiple lines serving different parts of the City or region. In RTO-1 and RTO-M Districts, limited small-scale neighborhood-oriented retail and services are common and permitted throughout the neighborhood on Corner Lots only to provide goods and services to residents within walking distance, but the Districts are otherwise residential. In RTO-1 and RTO-M Districts, only retail compatible with housing, generally those permitted in NC-1 Districts, is permitted and auto-oriented uses are not permitted; hours of operation are restricted and off-street parking is not permitted for these very locally-oriented uses. In the RTO-C District, a greater amount and wider range of non-residential uses are permitted and not limited to corners, to provide goods and services to residents and visitors, especially adjacent to existing NC Districts and along transit corridors, though ground floor commercial uses are not required. Areas of these districts off of major commercial or transit streets are largely characterized by a fine-grain pattern of 25-foot to 35-foot building widths, with some larger and wider structures on major streets. While some one- and two-family structures are present, the character of the District is primarily of structures with three or more units of a range of sizes and types suitable for a variety of households. Buildings are moderately scaled and segmented, and units or groups of units have separate entrances directly from the street. Except in the RTO-1 District, housing density is generally limited not by lot area, but by the regulations on the built envelope of buildings, including height, bulk, setbacks, and lot coverage, and standards for Residential Uses, including open space and exposure, and urban design standards. Because of the high availability of transit service and the proximity of retail and services within walking distance, many households do not own cars; it is common that not every Dwelling Unit has a parking space and overall off-street residential parking is limited. Open space is provided on site, in the form of rear yards, decks, balconies, roof-decks, and courtyards, and is augmented by nearby public parks, plazas, and enhanced streetscapes.

DESCRIPTION AND PURPOSE OF COMMERCIAL, INDUSTRIAL, AND PRODUCTION/DISTRIBUTION/REPAIR DISTRICTS. The following statements of description and purpose outline the main functions of the C (Commercial), M (Industrial), and PDR (Production, Distribution, and Repair) Districts in the Zoning Plan for San Francisco, supplementing the statements of purpose contained in Section 101 of this Code. The emphasis, in the case of these districts, is upon the allocation of adequate areas in proper locations for the carrying on of business and industry to serve City, regional and national needs and provide San Francisco with a sound and growing economic base. (Amended by Ord. 136-68, App. 5/29/68; Ord. 69-87, App. 3/13/87; Ord. 115-90, App. 4/6/90; Ord. 99-08, File No. 080339, App. 6/11/2008; Ord. 298-08, File No. 081153, App. 12/19/2008)

These districts serve several functions. They provide convenience goods and services to Residential areas of the City, both in outlying sections and in closer-in, more densely built communities. In addition, some C-2 Districts provide comparison shopping goods and services on a general or specialized basis to a Citywide or a regional market area, complementing the main area for such types of trade in downtown San Francisco. The extent of these districts varies from smaller clusters of stores to larger concentrated areas, including both shopping centers and strip developments along major thoroughfares, and in each case the character and intensity of commercial development are intended to be consistent with the character of other uses in the adjacent areas. The emphasis in C-2 Districts is upon compatible retail uses, but the district also allows a wider variety of goods and services to suit the longer-term needs of customers and a greater latitude is given for the provision of automobile-oriented uses.

Downtown San Francisco, a center for City, regional, national, and international commerce, is composed of five separate districts, as follows: C-3-O District: Downtown Office. This District, playing a leading national role in finance, corporate headquarters and service industries, and serving as an employment center for the region, consists primarily of high-quality office development. The intensity of building development is the greatest in the City, resulting in a notable skyline symbolizing the area's strength and vitality. The District is served by City and regional transit reaching its central portions and by automobile parking at peripheral locations. Intensity and compactness permit face-to-face business contacts to be made conveniently by travel on foot. Office development is supported by some related retail and service uses within the area, with inappropriate uses excluded in order to conserve the supply of land in the core and its expansion areas for further development of major office buildings. C-3-O(SD) District: Downtown Office Special Development. This area south of Market Street and east of 3rd Street comprises the southern side of the core central business district, and is similar to and generally indistinguishable from the C-3-O District in terms of uses and character. The area is centered on the Transbay Transit Center. This District permits densities that exceed those in the C-3-O District and contains the tallest height limits in the City, reflecting its unparalleled public transportation access and geographically central position in the downtown. C-3-R District: Downtown Retail. This District is a regional center for comparison shopper retailing and direct consumer services. It covers a compact area with a distinctive urban character, consists of uses with cumulative customer attraction and compatibility, and is easily traversed by foot. Like the adjacent Downtown Office District, this District is well-served by City and regional transit, with automobile parking best located at its periphery. Within the District, continuity of retail and consumer service uses is emphasized, with encouragement of pedestrian interest and amenities and minimization of conflicts between shoppers and motor vehicles. A further merging of this District with adjacent, related Districts is anticipated, partially through development of buildings which combine retailing with other functions. C-3-G District: Downtown General Commercial. This District covers the western portions of downtown and is composed of a variety of uses: Retail, offices, hotels, entertainment, clubs and institutions, and high-density residential. Many of these uses have a Citywide or regional function, although the intensity of development is lower here than in the downtown core area. As in the case of other downtown districts, no off-street parking is required for individual commercial buildings. In the vicinity of Market Street, the configuration of this District reflects easy accessibility by rapid transit. C-3-S District: Downtown Support. This District encompasses Yerba Buena Gardens, which includes San Francisco's Convention Center, hotels, museums and cultural facilities, housing, retail, and offices arranged around public gardens and plazas. The District continues to accommodate important supporting functions such as wholesaling, printing, building services, and secondary office space. It also contains unique housing resources. The District is within walking distance of rapid transit on Market Street, and is served by transit lines on Third, Fourth, Mission and Folsom streets.

These Districts provide space for a wide variety of PDR (production, distribution and repair) and other non-residential activities in districts where these uses are free from inherent economic and operational competition and conflicts with housing, large office developments, and large-scale retail, which are not permitted in these Districts. Other uses that share operational characteristics with PDR uses are permitted in these Districts, as they require large flexible spaces and prefer separation from intensive housing districts. PDR-zoned land is also an important reservoir of space in San Francisco for new and evolving industry and activity types that cannot be foreseen today and cannot practically function or compete for space in a typical downtown office or neighborhood commercial environment. Business and activities allowed in PDR Districts generally share a need for flexible operating space that features large open interior spaces, high ceilings, freight loading docks and elevators, floors capable of bearing heavy loads, and large (often uncovered exterior) storage areas. These uses are often not ideally compatible with housing for operational reasons, including the need for significant trucking and delivery activities, 24-hour operation, and emission of noise, odors and vibrations. Importantly, PDR uses are limited in the amount of rent they can afford relative to office, retail, and residential uses, yet are important sectors of the City's economy. PDR-1-B District: Light Industrial Buffer. The intent of this District is to create a buffer area between residential neighborhoods and light industrial areas, primarily in the Bayview Hunters Point neighborhood. Thus, this District prohibits residential uses and limits Office, Retail, and Institutional uses. Generally, all other uses are permitted. This zone allows for less intensive production, distribution, and repair activities that will not compromise the quality of life of nearby residents. These uses generate less external noise, odors, and vibrations and engage in fewer trucking activities than those permitted in PDR-2 Districts. Uses in this District are generally conducted completely within enclosed structures. Small-scale Retail and Office uses are permitted, as are other activities that may serve well to buffer existing residential neighborhoods from areas of concentrated industrial operations. In considering any new land use not contemplated in this District, the Zoning Administrator shall take into account the intent of this District as expressed in this Section and in the General Plan. PDR-1-D District: Design. The intention of this District is to retain and encourage less-intensive production, distribution, and repair businesses, especially the existing clusters of design- related businesses. Thus, this District prohibits Residential and Office uses, and limits Retail and Institutional uses. Additionally, this District prohibits heavy industrial uses, which generate external noise, odors, and vibrations and engage in frequent trucking activities. Generally, all other uses are permitted. In considering any new land use not contemplated in this District, the Zoning Administrator shall take into account the intent of this District as expressed in this Section and in the General Plan. PDR-1-G District: General. The intention of this District is to retain and encourage existing production, distribution, and repair activities and promote new business formation. Thus, this District prohibits Residential and Office uses, and limits Retail and Institutional uses. Additionally, this District allows for more intensive production, distribution, and repair activities than PDR-1-B and PDR-1-D but less intensive than PDR-2. Generally, all other uses are permitted. In considering any new land use not contemplated in this District, the Zoning Administrator shall take into account the intent of this District as expressed in this Section and in the General Plan. PDR-2 District: Core Production, Distribution, and Repair. The intent of this District is to encourage the introduction, intensification, and protection of a wide range of light and contemporary industrial activities. Thus, this District prohibits new housing, large office developments, large-scale retail, and the heaviest of industrial uses, such as incinerators. Generally, all other uses are permitted. The conservation of existing flexible industrial buildings is also encouraged. This District permits certain non-industrial, non-residential uses, including small- scale Retail and Office, Entertainment, certain institutions, and similar uses that would not create conflicts with the primary industrial uses or are compatible with the operational characteristics of businesses in the area. Light industrial uses in this District may be conducted entirely within an enclosed structure, partly within enclosed structures, or some functions may occur entirely in open areas. These uses may require trucking activity multiple times per day, including trucks with up to 18 wheels or more, and occurring at any time of the day or night. As part of their daily operations, PDR activities in these areas may emit noises, vibrations, odors, and other emissions, as permitted by law. Within the requirements of local, state, and federal health and safety regulations, and within the stipulation of this Code, which may impose additional use size maximums and minimum distance requirements on certain activities, raw materials used for production, manufacturing, repair, storage, research, and distribution may be stored on site and may include chemical, biological, and other hazardous, explosive, or flammable materials. In considering any new land use not contemplated in this District, the Zoning Administrator shall take into account the intent of this District as expressed in this Section and in the General Plan.

THE PDR-1-D AND PDR-1-G DISTRICTS. (a) Purpose. The purpose of this provision is to support the increase in the overall stock of PDR space in the City. Despite consistent and growing demand for PDR space in San Francisco, the economics of building new PDR space are very challenging, even in PDR zoning districts where these uses do not compete for land with other more economically-attractive uses. One way to make such development economically viable is to utilize the value of other non-residential space, such as office and institutional uses, to subsidize the construction of PDR space on properties that are largely vacant or substantially underutilized and that do not contain significant PDR space that would be demolished. (b) Geography. This provision applies to parcels that meet all of the following criteria: (1) Are located in either the PDR-1-D or PDR-1-G Districts; (2) Are located north of 20th Street; (3) Contain a floor area ratio of 0.3 gross floor area or less as of January 1, 2014; and (4) Are 20,000 square feet or larger. (c)1 Controls. The Planning Commission may permit, per the procedures described below in subsection (d), non-PDR uses on the subject lot pursuant to the following provisions: (1) At least one-third of the total Gross Floor Area developed on the parcel shall contain PDR Uses. (2) For purposes of this subsection (c), every square foot of Small Enterprise Workspace shall count as 0.5 square feet of PDR space and 0.5 square feet of non-PDR space as specified in subsection (c)(3) below. (3) The non-PDR space may contain one or a combination of the following uses: (A) Office Uses; (B) Institutional Uses, except for Hospitals; and/or (C) Gym use, as defined in Section 102; and/or (D) Any use otherwise Principally Permitted in the underlying PDR district. (4) Uses other than those listed in subsections (c)(2) and (c)(3) above, such as Retail, are subject to the controls of the underlying district. (5) No Residential Uses are permitted, even as part of an Institutional Use, except as allowed as Accessory Uses pursuant to Section 204.4. (6) The PDR space in any building must be served by: (A) Sufficient off-street loading, and (B) One or more freight elevators, in accordance with Planning Code Section 155(j). (7) The project shall meet the Transpor- tation Management Program requirements of Section 163(c) of the Planning Code. (8) Accessory parking for Uses listed in subsection (c)(2) above may be permitted up to one space per each 1,500 square feet of Occupied Floor Area, and all such parking shall be subject to the pricing requirements of Section 155(g) of the Planning Code. (9) The project sponsor must develop a "PDR Business Plan." The purpose of this PDR Business Plan is to maximize the potential for the project to produce new PDR space that is viable and affordable. The features of the PDR Business Plan should include, but are not limited to: (A) Overall strategy to incorporate PDR businesses, including specifying which kinds of PDR businesses are the target for the development; (B) A description of the kinds of non-PDR businesses intended for the site and a plan for how they will co-exist with the PDR businesses and any strategies required to achieve this balance; (C) A description of how the site's marketing and outreach plan will effectively target these same PDR businesses; (D) A description of how the development's design is suited to PDR businesses; (E) A description of the rent/purchase price proposed by the developer for the PDR spaces and the approach to keep these rents affordable to PDR tenants over time; (F) A detailed overview of the workforce and hiring strategy for the PDR businesses on the site, as well as for the non-PDR businesses, including how the project sponsor will abide by City programs such as the First Source Hiring Program; how the project sponsor might utilize other local, State, and federal subsidized hiring programs such as work opportunity tax credits, Jobs Now!, Hire SF, and the California employment tax credit set forth in Chapter 93 of the California 2013-2014 legislative session; and how the project sponsor will inform its tenants about other relevant public programs; and, (G) A detailed community outreach plan, including a plan for engaging any specific community partners in the development, tenanting of the project, and ongoing management of the PDR portions of the property.

(10) The first Certificate of Occupancy for the PDR portion of the development must be issued by the Department of Building Inspection before or concurrently with the first Certificate of Occupancy for the non-PDR portion of the development unless the PDR and non-PDR portions are part of a single site or building permit. (d) Referral to OEWD. Upon receiving an application for a project under this Section 210.3C, the Planning Department shall inform the Director of the Office of Economic and Workforce Development (OEWD) or successor agency, so that OEWD may inform the project sponsor of existing programs and requirements relevant to PDR businesses, including any existing economic incentive and hiring programs. (e) Approvals. (1) All projects seeking entitlement pursuant to this Section 210.3C shall be required to receive a Conditional Use authorization, per Section 303 of the Planning Code. In evaluating a proposed authorization under this Section, the Planning Commission shall consider: (A) The likely viability of the new PDR space created by the development, as influenced by such factors as the content of the project sponsor's PDR Business Plan, and whether the project sponsor has the commitments of established PDR tenants and/or a demonstrated relationship with organizations established in the PDR community. (B) Whether the project is an appropriate location and intensity for the proposed non-PDR use, including but not limited to whether the location of non-PDR uses would be compatible with or disruptive to PDR uses on the site and in the vicinity, recognizing that PDR uses may generate noise, vibrations, odors, trucking activity, or other PDR-related operational characteristics. (2) A Notice of Special Restriction (“NSR”) shall be recorded on the title of any property receiving approval under this Section 210.3C. Such NSR shall: (A) Designate the PDR portion of parcel, building, and/or development; (B) State that the proportion of Gross Floor Area on the site dedicated to PDR uses shall never be less than one-third of the total Gross Floor Area on the parcel, including any future building or use alterations or expansions; (C) Require the property owner to submit an annual report to the Planning Department and OEWD, on or before January 31 of each year, starting in the year after the Department of Building Inspection issues the first Certificate of Occupancy that applies to the PDR portion of the development, describing the status of the implementation of its PDR Business Plan, identifying PDR tenants on the property during the prior year, describing the rents for the PDR portions of the property and any lease terms, and providing information on their respective square footages, number of employees, contact information for each tenant, a description of the business or industry characteristics of each business, and the PDR space vacancy on the parcel as of the date of each report; (D) Provide the Planning Department with the ability to enforce the provisions of this Section; and, (E) Restrict the ability of the non-PDR portion of the development from limiting the PDR portion from undertaking activities necessary to maintain PDR business operations in such matters as trucking and noise generation. (f) Uses Established Under This Section. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Code, Office Uses established pursuant to this Section 210.3C shall be deemed Code- conforming uses after the expiration of this Section and such uses shall not constitute nonconforming uses under the provisions of Article 1.7.

CODIFICATION NOTE

1. Ordinance 71-14 included erroneously duplicated language in divisions (b) and (c) of this section. For clarity, the City Attorney removed the duplicative text when the ordinance was codified.

M-1 Districts: Light Industrial. In general, the M-1 Districts are more suitable for smaller industries dependent upon truck transportation, while the M-2 Districts are more suitable for larger industries served by rail and water transportation and by large utility lines. In M-1 Districts, most industries are permitted, but some with particularly noxious characteristics are excluded. The permitted industries have certain requirements as to enclosure, screening, and minimum distance from Residential Districts. M-2 Districts: Heavy Industrial. These Districts are the least restricted as to use and are located at the eastern edge of the City, separated from residential and commercial areas. The heavier industries are permitted, with fewer requirements as to screening and enclosure than in M-1 Districts, but many of these uses are permitted only as conditional uses or at a considerable distance from Residential Districts. Most of the land zoned M-2 is controlled by the Port of San Francisco.

1. So in Ord. 311-18.

(a) Purpose and Findings. This Section 210.5 describes the Commercial to Residential Adaptive Reuse Program. The purpose of the Program is to facilitate the adaptive reuse of non- residential buildings to support the City’s housing needs by allowing for conversion, but not the demolition, of those buildings to residential use. (b) Commercial to Residential Adaptive Reuse Projects. A Commercial to Residential Adaptive Reuse project is a project that includes a change of use of any existing Gross Floor Area from a non-residential use, excluding a hotel use, to a residential use as those uses are defined in Section 102. (c) Eligibility. To be eligible for the Commercial to Residential Adaptive Reuse Program, a project must: (1) be located in a C-3 zoning district or a C-2 zoning district that is east of or fronting Franklin Street/13th Street and north of Townsend Street; (2) not seek approval under Section 206.5 or 206.6; and (3) not expand an existing building’s envelope in a manner where the addition to the building envelope represents more than 33% of the existing building’s Gross Floor Area; provided that if a project would exceed this limit, the portions of the building additions in excess of 33% must meet generally prevailing code requirements. For purposes of this section, additional Gross Floor Area shall be counted from the lowest floor to the highest floor. (d) Controls. Applicable provisions of the Planning Code shall control except as otherwise provided in this Section 210.5. If there is a conflict between other provisions of the Planning Code and this Section 210.5, this Section shall prevail; provided that this Section does not alter, amend, or modify Section 249.93 (Group Housing Special Use District). For Commercial to Residential Adaptive Reuse projects, the following zoning controls shall be waived or modified, as described: (1) Lot Coverage. Lot coverage requirements per Section 134 shall not apply. (2) Open Space. Usable open space requirements per Section 135 shall not apply. (3) Streetscape and Pedestrian Improvements. Required streetscape and pedestrian improvements per Section 138.1 shall not apply. (4) Dwelling Unit Exposure. The dwelling unit exposure requirements of Section 140 may be satisfied by either of the following: (a) providing an unobstructed open area that is at least as wide as the exposed exterior width of the Dwelling Unit and is no less than five feet in every horizontal dimension at each story containing the Dwelling Unit and all stories above. (b) providing an unobstructed open area that is at least 5 feet wide by 15 feet long at each story containing the Dwelling Unit and all stories above. (5) Bicycle Parking. The Bicycle Parking requirements in Sections 155.1 and 155.2 shall not apply. (6) Dwelling Unit Mix. The required minimum dwelling unit mix per Section 207.7 shall not apply. (7) Intermediate Length Occupancy. The establishment of Intermediate Length Occupancy units shall be consistent with Section 202.10, provided that the controls in Section 202.10(b)(1) and (b)(2) shall not apply. Intermediate Length Occupancy units shall be principally permitted in Commercial to Residential Adaptive Reuse projects. (8) Live Work Units. Live Works units are permitted in any Commercial to Residential Adaptive Reuse project. (9) Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Plan Requirements. The Transportation Demand Management Plan requirements in Section 169 shall not apply. (10) Preservation of Privately Owned Public Open Spaces (POPOS). Nothing in this Section 210.5 is intended to modify, alter, or waive the applicability of Section 138 (POPOS) to Commercial to Residential Adaptive Reuse projects that retain non-residential uses. (11) Off-Street Freight Loading and Service Vehicle Spaces. The requirements of Sections 152 and 152.1 for Off-Street Freight Loading and Service Vehicle Spaces shall not apply. (12) Protected Pedestrian, Cycling, and Transit-Oriented Street Frontages. Pre-existing garage entries, driveways, or other vehicular access to off-street parking and loading via curb cuts for Commercial to Residential Adaptive Reuse projects are not subject to Section 155(r). Creation of new or expanded garage entries, driveways, or other vehicular access to off- street parking and loading via curb cuts shall be subject to Section 155(r). (13) Density Limits. No density limit for projects located within the Northeast Waterfront Historic District, the Jackson Square Historic District, and the Jackson Square Historic District Extension. The Jackson Square Historic District Extension shall include parcels within the area bounded by the northern boundary of the Jackson Square Historic District and the centerline of Sansome Street, Kearny Street, and Broadway. Density in those areas shall be regulated by the permitted height and bulk, and required setbacks, exposure, open space, and other Code requirements applicable to each development lot. (e) Review of Projects in the C-3 District. If a project seeks exceptions that are waived or modified in subsection (d) above, the hearing requirements in Section 309 shall not apply as to the consideration of those exceptions. But if a project seeks exceptions not otherwise waived or modified in subsection (d) above, the hearing requirements of Section 309 shall apply.

P (PUBLIC) DISTRICTS. (a) In addition to the use districts otherwise established by this Code, there shall also be in the City a Public Use District herein referred to as a "P District," to apply to land that is owned by a governmental agency and in some form of public use, including open space. (b) The purpose of designating such land as a P District on the Zoning Map is to relate the Zoning Map to actual land use and to the General Plan with respect to such land. Any lot in a P District may be occupied by a principal use listed in Section 211.1, or by a conditional use listed in Section 211.2, subject to applicable regulations of this Code. Principal uses not identified under Sections 211.1 or 211.2 of this Code are not permitted in any P District.

The following uses are principally permitted in all P Districts when found to be in conformity with the General Plan: (a) Structures and uses of governmental agencies not subject to regulation by this Code. (b) Public structures and uses of the City and County of San Francisco, and of other governmental agencies that are subject to regulation by this Code, including Neighborhood Agriculture, as defined in Section 102 of this Code; and, (c) Accessory nonpublic uses, which in P Districts may or may not be related to the Principal Use, provided that they meet the following standards: (1) If the accessory nonpublic use is located on a lot with an OS Height and Bulk designation per Section 290 of this Code, it shall occupy a de minimis amount of space so that it does not detract from the lot’s principal or exclusive purpose as open space. In no case may accessory nonpublic uses occupy more than one-third of the total lot area occupied by the Principal Use; (2) If the accessory nonpublic use is located on a lot without an OS Height and Bulk designation, it shall not occupy more than 1/3 of the total occupied floor area of the principle use; (3) If the accessory nonpublic use is located within 1/4 mile of a Restricted Use Subdistrict listed in Article 2 or 7, then no use prohibited in such Subdistrict may be permitted as an accessory nonpublic use; (4) The accessory nonpublic use is principally permitted within the closest non-Residential District. The closest non-Residential district is defined as the non-Residential zoning district that is the shortest distance between any area occupied by the accessory nonpublic use and a parcel with a non-Residential zoning designation. If there is more than one non-Residential district that meets this definition, the more permissive zoning district shall apply; and, (5) The proposed Accessory use is not a Formula Retail use as defined in Section 102 of this Code. (d) Neighborhood Agriculture, as defined in Section 102 of this Code; (e) City Plazas, as defined in Section 94.1 of the Administrative Code.

LIMITED CORNER COMMERCIAL USES IN RH, RTO-1, RTO-M, AND RM DISTRICTS. (See Interpretations related to this Section.) (a) Purpose. Corner stores enhance and support the character and traditional pattern of development in San Francisco. These small neighborhood-oriented establishments provide convenience goods and services on a retail basis to meet the frequent and recurring needs of neighborhood residents within a short walking distance of their homes. These uses tend to be small in scale, to serve primarily walk-in trade, and cause minimum interference with nearby streets and properties. These uses are permitted only on the ground floor of corner buildings, and their intensity and operating hours are limited to ensure compatibility with the predominantly residential character of the district. Accessory off-street parking is prohibited for these uses to maintain the local neighborhood walk-in character of the uses. (b) Location. Uses permitted under this sSection2 231 must be located: (1) completely within an RH, RTO-1, RTO-M, or RM District; (2) on or below the ground floor; (3) in RH, RM-1, RM-2, RTO-1, and RTO-M Districts, on a Corner Lot, with no part of the use extending more than 50 feet in depth from said corner, as illustrated in Figure 231; (4) in a space that would not require the Residential Conversion of a Residential Unit or Unauthorized Unit under Planning Code Section 317, unless the space proposed for conversion is occupied by a garage or storage space located in the Basement or First Story; and Figure 231. Limitations on Corner Retail in RTO and RM Districts (5) in RM-3, RM-4, and RTO-M Districts, on a Corner Lot, with no part of the use extending more than 100 feet in depth from said corner. (c) Permitted Uses. Any use is permitted which complies with the use limitations for the First Story and below of a Neighborhood Commercial District or Special Use District within one-quarter mile of the use, or if the use is more than one-quarter mile from the nearest NCD or SUD, an NC-1 District, as set forth in Section 710 of this Code. (d) Use Size.

WATERFRONT SPECIAL USE DISTRICT. (a) Purpose. In order to provide for certain areas with unique natural and man-made physical characteristics, distinct historic and maritime character, special traffic, parking, and use considerations, recognized development potential, and proximity to residential, public, and commercial areas of regional, national, and international significance which should be protected from adverse adjacent development, there shall be four Waterfront Special Use Districts, Numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4, as designated on Sectional Maps No. 1 SU, 8 SU, and 9 SU* of the Zoning Map. The original copy of said Sectional Maps with these Special Use Districts indicated thereon is on file with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors under File No. 171-70-4, pursuant to Ordinance No. 131-70 and subsequent amendments thereto. The provisions set forth in Sections 240.1 through 240.4 shall apply, respectively, within these Special Use Districts, and shall be applicable to all property, whether public or private, including property under the jurisdiction of the San Francisco Port Commission. (b) State and Regional Land Use Controls. Much of the property within Waterfront Special Use District Numbers 1, 3, and 4 is subject to land use controls in addition to those set forth in this Code. Most of the land under the jurisdiction of the Port Commission is public trust land and is subject to use limitations as provided in California Statutes of 1968, Chapter 1333, as amended (the “Burton Act”) and the San Francisco Charter. In the event of a conflict between the provisions of the Burton Act and this Code, the State legislation prevails. A portion of the property under the Port Commission’s jurisdiction is further subject to use limitations as provided in the California Government Code, Sections 66600 et seq. (the “McAteer- Petris Act”). The San Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission is responsible for implementing the provisions of the McAteer-Petris Act. Other property within these Waterfront Special Use Districts is subject to redevelopment plans adopted by the Board of Supervisors. (c) Waterfront Design Review Process. (1) In order to best achieve the public objectives that have been established in law and policy for the property under the jurisdiction of the Port Commission, a waterfront design review process is hereby established to review the urban design of new development on certain land under the Port Commission’s jurisdiction within Waterfront Special Use Districts Numbers 1, 3, and 4, consistent with applicable provisions of the Port’s Waterfront Plan urban design, historic preservation, and public access goals, policies, and objectives, as provided below. The purpose of the waterfront design review process is to identify and integrate

design of new development on certain land under the Port Commission’s jurisdiction within Waterfront Special Use Districts Numbers 1, 3, and 4, consistent with applicable provisions of the Port’s Waterfront Plan urban design, historic preservation, and public access goals, policies, and objectives, as provided below. The purpose of the waterfront design review process is to identify and integrate the State, regional, and local objectives pertaining to the urban design of major, non-maritime development projects and proposed uses in order to optimize the public enjoyment and beneficial use of this public trust resource. (2) The Port shall hold a public hearing on a proposed project and make design recommendations to ensure that the urban design of the proposed project is consistent with applicable provisions of the Waterfront Plan’s urban design, historic preservation, and public access goals, policies, and objectives. (3) The Port shall transmit design recommendations for proposed projects to the Planning Department and to the Bay Conservation and Development Commission for proposed projects within BCDC’s jurisdiction, for consideration by those agencies prior to any action on the project. (A) For a project that is permitted as a Principal Use, the Planning Commission may, by majority vote within 14 days of receipt of the design recommendations, make a determination to review the design recommendations. If the item cannot be calendared for Planning Commission consideration within that period due to a canceled meeting, the Commission may consider whether to review the design recommendations at its next available meeting. If the Planning Commission requests review, it shall conduct a public hearing on the matter within 14 days following its determination to review the design recommendations, if legally adequate environmental documents have been completed, or at its first public meeting after such documents have been completed, unless the Port Director agrees to a different date. At the request of the Port Director, the meeting shall be conducted as a joint public hearing of the Planning Commission and the Port Commission. The Planning Commission, by majority vote, may adopt, amend, or reject the design recommendations of the Port, subject to the same standards and criteria provided in subsection (c)(2) above. If the Port Commission accepts the design recommendations of the Port or of the Planning Commission, the Port Commission shall incorporate the design recommendations into the Port action on the project. If the Port Commission objects to or seeks to substantially modify design recommendations that have been approved by the Planning Commission as set forth above, the Port Commission may appeal the design recommendations to the Board of Supervisors pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 308.1 of this Code and in Charter Section 4.105 for appeals of Conditional Uses. The Board of Supervisors may disapprove the decision of the Commission by a vote of not less than two-thirds of the members of the Board. (d) A project within a Waterfront Special Use District shall be reviewed under the standards set forth in Sections 240.1 through 240.4 for the Waterfront Special Use District within which boundaries it is located, and shall not be considered, for review purposes under this Code, as including or being part of a project within an adjoining Waterfront Special Use District, notwithstanding the timing of development, the physical proximity or type of uses associated with any other such projects, or the applicant or other person or agency initiating the action.

The following provisions shall apply within Waterfront Special Use District No. 1: (a) Accessory Uses Related to Maritime Uses. A related minor use that is identified as an acceptable, existing, or interim land use in the Waterfront Plan adopted by the Port Commission and that is either necessary to the operation or enjoyment of a Maritime Use, as defined in Section 102 of this Code, or is appropriate, incidental, and subordinate to any such use, shall be permitted as an accessory use when located on the same lot, provided that the minor use does not itself occupy more than one-third of the site area occupied by such minor use and the principal or conditional use to which it is accessory, except in the case of accessory off-street parking and loading.

(2) Any use that is listed in this Code as a permitted use in the district established by Section 201 applicable to the particular property involved shall be permitted as a principal use if the use is identified as an acceptable, existing, or interim land use in the Waterfront Plan adopted by the Port Commission. (c) Conditional uses shall include any use that is listed in this Code as a conditional use in the district established by Section 201 applicable to the particular property involved, provided that the use is identified as an acceptable, existing, or interim land use in the Waterfront Plan adopted by the Port Commission. The specific use or uses requiring a conditional use within a project, and not the project in its entirety, shall be subject to the provisions set forth in Section 303 and Article 3.5 of this Code and subsection (d), below. (d) Any use, other than Maritime Uses defined in Section 102 of this Code, that is listed in this Code as a permitted use or conditional use in the use district established by Section 201 applicable to the particular property involved, that involves (1) new construction or (2) projects with lease terms longer than 10 years that include substantial exterior alterations visible from the street or other major public site, excluding minor changes including but not limited to maintenance, alterations, and repairs involving replacing features with similar features or adding similar features; restoration of preexisting conditions; and signs, awnings, or canopies, shall be subject to review of the urban design of the proposed use under the waterfront design review process, as provided under Section 240(c) of this Code. (e) In considering any application in this special use district under Section 303 of this Code, the Planning Commission shall consider the following criteria in lieu of the criteria set forth in Section 303(c): (1) That such use or feature as proposed is consistent with the Waterfront Plan adopted by the Port Commission, including any amendments thereto which the Planning Commission has found to be consistent with the General Plan; (2) That the design of such use or feature as proposed is consistent with the Waterfront Plan urban design, historic preservation, and public access goals, policies, and objectives, including any amendments thereto which the Planning Commission has found to be consistent with the General Plan; (3) Provision to the extent feasible, along the sea wall and along the perimeters of piers or platforms, of public access and of open spaces available for public use and suitable for viewing purposes or water-oriented recreation; (4) Limitation of water coverage in the Northern Waterfront area from the Hyde Street Pier to Pier 46 so as not to exceed the degree of coverage by piers as existing as of February 16, 1998; (5) Construction of new piers or platforms so that the water’s edge shall be maintained at the sea wall where feasible; (6) Provision or maintenance of view corridors along streets into the Bay, and of panoramic views, in accordance with the view policies of the Northeastern Waterfront Plan, a part of the General Plan; and (7) Development over the water generally on piers or platforms rather than on fill. (f) The basic Floor Area Ratio limit shall be 5.0 to 1 to the extent provided in Section 124(e) of this Code.

In order to preserve and provide for an established area with a unique character and balance of built and natural environment, with public and private view corridors and panoramas, to conserve existing buildings, plant materials and planted spaces, to prevent unreasonable obstruction of view and light by buildings or plant materials, and to encourage development in context and scale with established character and landscape, there shall be a Dolores Heights Special Use District as designated on Sectional Map No. SU07 of the Zoning Map of the City and County of San Francisco. In this District, all provisions of the Planning Code applicable in RH-1 Districts shall continue to apply except that rear yard and height limit provisions of this Section 241 shall be substituted for rear yard and height limit provisions found elsewhere in this Code. (a) The minimum rear yard depth shall be equal to 45 percent of the total depth of the lot on which building is situated, but in no case shall the rear yard be less than 25 feet deep. (b) No portion of a building shall exceed a height of 35 feet above the existing grade of the lot, with the intent that the building shall be contained within an envelope that slopes upward or downward with the slope of the property. The "height of a building" for purposes of this Section shall be measured in the manner described in Section 260 of this Code, whether the lot being measured slopes upward or downward from the street. (c) Variances may be granted from the rear yard and height limit provisions in Paragraphs (a) and (b) above in accordance with procedures specified in Section 305 of this Code provided that no such variance shall permit a building to have a height in excess of that otherwise permitted in an RH-1 District.

A Special Use District entitled the Bernal Heights Special Use District, the boundaries of which are shown on Sectional Map. Nos. 7SU, 8SU, and 11SU of the Zoning Map, is hereby established for the purposes set forth below. (b) Purposes. In order to reflect the special characteristics and hillside topography of an area of the City that has a collection of older buildings situated on lots generally smaller than the lot patterns in other low-density areas of the City, and to encourage development in context and scale with the established character, there shall be a Bernal Heights Special Use District. (c) The provisions of this Section 242 shall not apply to building permit applications or amendments thereto, or to conditional use, variance or environmental evaluation applications filed on or before January 7, 1991. Such applications shall be governed by the ordinances in effect on January 7, 1991, unless the applicant requests in writing that an application be governed by the provisions of this Section 242. (d) Definitions. For purposes of this Section 242, the following definitions apply: (1) "Adjacent building" shall mean a building on a lot adjoining the subject lot along a side lot line. Where the lot constituting the subject property is separated from the lot containing the nearest building by an undeveloped lot or lots for a distance of 50 feet or less parallel to the street or alley, such nearest building shall be deemed to be an "adjacent building," but a building on a lot so separated for a greater distance shall not be deemed to be an "adjacent building." A corner lot shall have only one adjacent building located along its side lot line. (2) "Usable floor area" is the sum of the gross areas of the several floors of a building, measured from the exterior walls or from the center lines of common walls separating two buildings. "Usable floor area" shall not include that floor area devoted to off-street parking or any space or area which is not readily accessible and which has not more than five feet vertical clearance at any point. (e) Controls. All provisions of the Planning Code applicable to an RH-1, RH-1(S), RH-2, and RH-3 District shall apply to applicable portions of the Special Use District except as otherwise provided in this Section 242. (1) Height Limits. No portion of a dwelling in any portion of this district shall exceed a height of 30 feet except as provided below. Notwithstanding the prior sentence, the heights limits in this subsection (e)(1) shall not apply to building permits for structures erected on Lots 055, 056, and 057 in Block 5526 approved before January 8, 2020. (A) The height of a dwelling on a downslope lot shall not exceed 30 feet above grade, subject to averaging or offset by an equal height reduction. Any portion of a dwelling exceeding a height of 30 feet must be offset by at least an equal amount of dwelling having a height of less than 30 feet, provided that the maximum height above grade at any point cannot exceed 40 feet, and the rearmost eight feet of length cannot exceed 32 feet above grade. (B) The height of a dwelling on an upslope lot shall not exceed 30 feet above grade, with no averaging or stepping over the 30 feet limit, and no part of the dwelling, unless otherwise permitted by this Section, may be higher than 38 feet above curb level, except if the rear of the lot is 30 feet or more higher than the front grade, the rear half of the dwelling may go up to 43 feet above curb level. (C) The height of a dwelling in an RH-2 or RH-3 lot may exceed the limits described above based upon the average height of the adjacent buildings. (D) Except for vertical-axis wind-powered electrical generators with a horizontal diameter not exceeding three feet, chimneys, and nonparabolic radio and television antennas, nothing otherwise permitted by Section 260(b) of this Code may extend above the additional height limit established in this Code section by more than 42 inches. Furthermore, all such wind-powered electrical generators must avoid significant impacts to wildlife. (E) Wireless Telecommunications Services Facilities on a dwelling may exceed the 30-foot height limitation contained in this Subsection (e)(1). (2) Rear Yards. The requirements applicable to rear yards are as follows: (A) RH-1 and RH-1(S). For lots which have a depth of 70 feet or less, the minimum rear yard depth shall be equal to 35 percent of the total depth of the lot on which the building is located. Buildings on lots which have a depth greater than 70 feet may not be deeper than 45.5 feet measured from the front property line; the remainder of the lot shall be used for rear yard. (B) RH-2 and RH-3. The minimum rear yard depth shall be equal to 45 percent of the total depth of the lot in which the building is located. (C) All Lots. The following provisions relating to rear yards shall apply to all lots in the Special Use District: (i) A building may intrude into the required rear yard up to the extent that an adjacent building intrudes, provided the intrusion is no wider than half of the width of the lot, and 25 percent of the total lot depth is provided as rear yard open space. The intrusion must be placed in a manner that the Zoning Administrator finds will provide optimal light and air to the subject and adjacent properties. The coverage resulting from the intrusion must be offset by otherwise permitted coverage in the rear of the subject property. (ii) Any part of a front setback exceeding five feet may be applied to the amount required for satisfying the rear yard requirements. (iii) No part of any building may be within 25

ide optimal light and air to the subject and adjacent properties. The coverage resulting from the intrusion must be offset by otherwise permitted coverage in the rear of the subject property. (ii) Any part of a front setback exceeding five feet may be applied to the amount required for satisfying the rear yard requirements. (iii) No part of any building may be within 25 percent or 15 feet, whichever is greater, of the rear property line. (iv) Those obstructions into rear yards otherwise permitted by Section 136(c)(2), (3), and (25) of this Code shall not be permitted. In addition to the obstructions permitted in Section 136(c), improvements may be constructed underneath a room or deck located in the rear yard area if said room or deck is otherwise permitted pursuant to Section 136(c) and was constructed pursuant to a building permit issued prior to December 11, 1987. In those instances, the Zoning Administrator may place appropriate conditions on the approval of the building permit to protect the light, air and view of the adjacent properties. (3) Mass Reduction Requirement for RH-1 and RH-1(S) Buildings. After calculation of the maximum permissible height and lot coverage in an RH-1 or RH-1(S) District, a total of 650 square feet of usable floor area must be deleted from the exterior of the building, causing a reduction in square footage as well as building volume. On lots that exceed 100 feet in depth, the mass reduction shall be a minimum of 400 square feet of usable floor area. Any area to be deleted must have a minimum clearance of three feet from the side property line. The reduction must be taken from the front, the rear, or the top of the building above grade; however, such reduction along the side of the property line will be allowed under this section so that adjacent properties will benefit from the provision of greater light and air or the reduction of shadows. Where an area to be deleted is along the side property line and is in the form of an inner court, the inner court shall have a minimum area of 90 square feet. (4) Curb Cuts and Garage Door Width. The maximum width of curb cuts allowed for new construction shall be 10 feet; the maximum width of a garage door opening shall be 12 feet. (5) Design. In addition to meeting applicable standards provided in this Section 242 and elsewhere in this Code, residential development subject to this Section 242 shall be subject to the review and notification procedures provided by Section 311(c) of this Code. Requests for Planning Commission review shall be governed by Subsection 311(d) of this Code. In addition to applicable guidelines cited by Section 311, the Elsie Street Plan and the East Slope Building Guidelines shall be used as guidelines to determine neighborhood compatibility of new construction and alterations in the respective areas covered by those guidelines. (6) Demolition. (A) Demolition Generally Prohibited. Other than as specified in this subsection, no demolition permit for structures containing one or more residential units may be approved unless: (i) The Superintendent of the Bureau of Building Inspection or the Chief of the Bureau of Fire Prevention and Public Safety determines, after consultation to the extent feasible with the Department of Planning, that an imminent safety hazard exists and the Superintendent determines that demolition of the structure is the only feasible means to secure the public safety; or (ii) The structure is under an abatement order and the Superintendent of the Bureau of Building Inspection determines, after consultation with the Department of Planning and the San Francisco Fire Department, that repairs rendering the structure safe and habitable as defined in the San Francisco Housing Code would cost 50 percent or more of the cost to replace the structure pursuant to the standards published periodically by the Superintendent. An owner's deliberate damage, in the opinion of the Superintendent of the Bureau of Building Inspection, to the property or failure to maintain it shall not be included in the calculation of replacement costs; or (iii) The Department determines, based on facts presented, that the structure proposed to be demolished retains no substantial remaining value or reasonable use.

(B) Demolition of Historic or Architecturally Significant Residential Buildings. Unless demolition is approved pursuant to Subsections (A)(i) or (A)(iii) above, no demolition permit may be approved for a residential building (1) which is a designated landmark or contributing building in an historic district; or (2) which the Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board determines is qualified to be designated as a landmark or contributing building in an historic district under the standards of Article 10 of this Code; or (3) is recommended by the Department of Planning for historic designation under Article 10 of this Code. (C) Replacement Structure Required. Unless demolition is approved pursuant to Subsection (A)(i) or (A)(iii) above, no application authorizing the demolition of a residential building within the scope of this Section shall be approved until the City has finally approved a building permit for construction of the replacement building which meets the requirements of this ordinance. A building permit is finally approved if the Board of Permit Appeals has taken final action on an appeal of the issuance or denial of the permit or if the permit has been issued and the time for filing an appeal with the Board has lapsed with no appeal filed. (i) This Section shall not apply to the demolition of a second structure on a single lot that (1) does not exceed 500 square feet, (2) meets the requirements of Subsection (A)(ii) above, and (3) is not a historic residential building under Subsection (B) above. (f) Additional Controls Applicable to Bernal South Slope. (1) The "Bernal South Slope" shall mean the undeveloped lots within the south slope area of the Bernal Heights Special Use District consisting of: Block 5810, lots 016, 017, and 020 to 023; Block 5811, lots 023 to 028; Block 5825, lots 007 to 015; Block 5826, lots 002, 003, 005 to 011, and 013 to 016; Block 5827, lots 007 to 011 and 016 to 022; and Block 5828, lots 004 to 010. (2) The controls set forth in this subsection (f) shall be in addition to the general requirements of Section 242. (3) All new development in the Bernal South Slope shall require a conditional use authorization pursuant to this subsection and the requirements set forth in Article 3 of the Planning Code. The Planning Commission shall only approve an application for a conditional use authorization if facts are presented to establish that the proposed development would not harm the public health, safety, or welfare of the Bernal South Slope and surrounding areas, considering the following criteria: (A) The applicant has designed the development in accordance with best practices for construction and development on steep slopes, as applicable, including measures to address liquefaction and slope stability issues presented by the steep grades in Bernal South Slope, and as documented in writing by the Department of Building Inspection; (B) The development would not undermine the visual integrity of the Bernal South Slope by, for example, deviating in a substantial manner from the City's established pattern of street-orientation and alignment. Bernal's neighborhood streets typically are not contoured, with streets running parallel to the hillside, but instead are grid-based. Where reasonably possible, new buildings should be accessed from public streets rather than extended private drives; (C) The design of the development would not interfere with the proposed integration of Alemany Public Housing with the South Bernal neighborhood (e.g., through construction of large retaining walls) and, to the extent feasible, promotes connections at the hill base that are consistent with the proposed redesign of Alemany Public Housing; (D) The development and construction-related activities in the Bernal South Slope will not meaningfully hinder impact emergency vehicle access and emergency response times or weaken fire protection capabilities in the area (e.g., fire hydrant access or water pressure), as determined through applicant consultation with the San Francisco Fire Department, and as documented in writing by the San Francisco Fire Department; (E) The development will not degrade the health and cleanliness of the neighborhood by, for example, providing inadequate access for City sanitation services such as garbage collection and street sweeping, as determined through applicant consultation with the Department of Public Works, and as documented in writing by the Department of Public Works; (F) The development promotes the City's open space policies, and incorporates community input regarding public use of unimproved rights-of-way (e.g., by avoiding or offsetting potential impacts to existing open space such as the Moultrie Street Children's Community Garden); (G) The development will not substantially impact neighborhood parking availability; (H) The development will not substantially contribute to an increase in traffic congestion in Bernal South Slope, including along Crescent Street and the intersection of St. Mary's and Mission Street; and (I) The development will not undermine pedestrian safety or result in dangerous traffic conditions (e.g., increasing double parking and reducing turn around zones) that place residents and pedestrians at risk. (J) The Planning Commission shall evaluate the foregoing criteria with regard to both to a development's individual impacts and the development's impacts in combination with the current and proposed development of the Bernal South Slope.

A Special Use District entitled the Van Ness Special Use District, the boundaries of which are shown on Sectional Map No. SU02 of the Zoning Map of the City and County of San Francisco, is hereby established for the purposes set forth below. (b) Purposes. In order to implement the objectives and policies of the Van Ness Avenue Area Plan, a part of the General Plan, which includes (1) creation of a mix of residential and commercial uses on the boulevard, (2) preservation and enhancement of the pedestrian environment, (3) encouragement of the retention and appropriate alteration of architecturally and historically significant and contributory buildings, (4) conservation of the existing housing stock, (5) enhancement of the visual and urban design quality of the street, and (6) the establishment of an area appropriate for a medical center use (the "Van Ness Medical Use Subdistrict") to support citywide and regional health care at the transit nexus of Van Ness Avenue and Geary Boulevard, the following controls are imposed in the Van Ness Special Use District. (c) Controls. All provisions of the Planning Code applicable to an RC-4 District shall apply except as otherwise provided in this Section 243. (1) Basic Floor Area Ratio. The basic floor area ratio limit shall be 7.0 to 1 in the 130-foot height district and at the hospital site within the Van Ness Medical Use Subdistrict, and 4.8:1 in the 80-foot height district. These limits shall apply to dwellings notwithstanding Section 124(b) of this Code, including floor space used for nonaccessory off-street parking, driveways, and maneuvering areas. The floor area ratio may be increased to up to 7.5:1 for a medical office building if located within the Van Ness Medical Use Subdistrict. For definitions of Floor Area Ratio and Gross Floor Area, see Section 102. The provisions allowing a floor area premium set forth in Section 125(a) shall not apply in the Van Ness Special Use District. (2) Housing Density. The restrictions on density set forth in the Zoning Control Tables shall not apply. (3) Height and Bulk Restrictions. See Height and Bulk Map No. HT02. See Section 270 of this Code for bulk limits. However, medical centers within the Van Ness Medical Use Subdistrict subject to otherwise applicable standards for bulk limits per Sections 270 and 271(c)(2) shall be permitted to exceed such standards to allow for unique massing and volume required for medical facilities, if authorized as a Conditional Use pursuant to Section 303 of this Code, in lieu of findings otherwise required under Section 271 of this Code. (4) Awnings, Canopies, and Marquees. Medical centers within the Van Ness Medical Use Subdistrict subject to otherwise applicable standards for awnings per Section 136.1 of this Code shall be permitted to exceed such standards to allow for coverage of patient drop-off and entry areas. (5) Medical Centers within the Van Ness Medical Use Subdistrict subject to otherwise applicable standards for obstructions over streets or alleys per Section 136(c)(1)(B) of this Code shall be permitted to exceed such standards for vertical dimensions and horizontal projections for architectural features to provide visual interest, achieve appropriate articulation of building façades, and reduce pedestrian level wind currents. (6) Rear Yards. The requirements of this Code applicable to rear yards may be modified or waived by the Zoning Administrator pursuant to Section 307(g) if all of the following conditions are met: (A) The interior block open space formed by the rear yards of abutting properties will not be adversely affected; and

(B) A comparable amount of usable open space is provided elsewhere on the lot or within the development where it is more accessible to residents; and (C) The access of light and air to abutting properties will not be significantly impeded. This provision shall be administered pursuant to the procedures that are applicable to variances, as set forth in Sections 306.1 through 306.5 and 308.2 of this Code. (7) Required Setbacks. Setbacks for buildings exceeding a height of 50 feet shall be regulated as provided in Section 253.2 of this Code. (8) Limitation of Nonresidential Uses. (A) Residential Uses; Ratio Established. In newly constructed structures, nonresidential uses shall only be permitted if the ratio between the amount of net additional occupied floor area for residential uses, as defined in this paragraph below, to the amount of occupied floor area for nonresidential uses in excess of the occupied floor area of structures existing on the site at the time the project is approved is 3 to 1 or greater. In additions to existing structures that exceed 20% of the gross floor area of the existing structure, nonresidential uses shall be permitted in the addition in excess of 20% only if the ratio between the amount of occupied floor area for residential use, as defined in this paragraph below, to the area of occupied floor area for nonresidential use is 3 to 1 or greater. This residential use ratio shall not apply to (i) development sites in the Van Ness Special Use District that have less than 60 feet of street frontage on Van Ness Avenue and have no street frontage other than the Van Ness Avenue frontage, or (ii) development consisting of new construction proposed for an Institutional Community Use at 1750 Van Ness Avenue, Assessor’s Parcel Block 0622, Lot 019. For purposes of this Section, “nonresidential uses” shall mean any use not defined as a Residential Use in Section 102 and principally or conditionally permitted in the Van Ness Special Use District. (B) Reduction of Ratio of Residential Uses for Affordable Housing. The Planning Commission may modify the Van Ness Special Use District residential to nonresidential use ratio between Golden Gate Avenue and California Street as a conditional use in one of the following ways: (i) In-Lieu Fee. By conditional use, the developer may elect to fulfill the obligation to build housing by paying an in-lieu fee to the Affordable Housing Fund as provided in Section 413 of this Code. No more than a 50 percent reduction of the required housing for a specific project can be fulfilled by paying an in-lieu fee. Use of these funds shall provide affordable housing within 2,000 feet of the Van Ness Special Use District. The in-lieu fee shall be determined by the following formula: (1) (Lot Area × FAR)/4) × 3 = Residential SQ. FT. Requirement (2) Residential SQ. FT. Requirement - Residential SQ. FT. Developed = LOSS (3) LOSS × $15 = In-Lieu Fee (ii) Providing Affordable Housing. By conditional use, the developer may reduce up to 50 percent of the required amount of on-site housing by maintaining a portion of that housing as permanently affordable for the life of the project. Affordable units shall be managed by a nonprofit housing agency through a duly executed agreement between the project sponsor, the nonprofit agency, and the Planning Department. The mix of affordable units retained in the project shall conform to the overall dwelling unit size mix of the project. The portion of retained residential that shall be affordable will be determined by calculating the number of market rate units that could be subsidized by the amount of "in-lieu fee" calculated in Paragraph (i) above. The number of square feet of affordable housing shall be calculated in the following manner: (1) In-Lieu Fee / $30/square foot subsidy = Square Feet of Affordable Housing Retained in the Project (iii) Annual Reporting, Evaluation, and Adjustments to Affordability and Fee Calculations. The Department shall report annually to the Planning Commission on the activity and utilization of Section 243(c)(8)(B). Based on an evaluation of this report, the Planning Commission may initiate a modification or deletion of Section 243(c)(8)(B). The dollar amounts used in the calculation for Paragraphs (i) and (ii) of this Subsection shall be subject to annual adjustments in accord with Section 409 of this Code. Affordability shall be defined by rents or sale prices affordable by households with no more than 80 percent of median income standards developed by HUD. (iv) If the Planning Commission finds that taking into consideration projects constructed since the effective date of the Van Ness Special Use District and the housing development potential remaining in the District the overall objective of adding a substantial increment of new housing on Van Ness Avenue will not be significantly compromised, the Commission may by conditional use modify the 3:1 housing ratio or may modify the rules regarding the timing and location of linked projects if in addition to Section 303(c) standards of this Code it finds that: (1) The project is to provide space for expansion of an established business from an adjacent site (for this purpose two sites separated by an alley shall be deemed to be adjacent); or (2) The project is to provide space for an institutional, hotel, medical, cultural, or social service use meeting an important public need which cannot reasonably be met elsewhere in the area; and (3) Housing cannot reasonably be included in the project referred to in (1) and (2) above. The Commission shall consider the feasibility of requiring the project to be constructed in such a manner that it can support the addition of housing at some later time.

ervice use meeting an important public need which cannot reasonably be met elsewhere in the area; and (3) Housing cannot reasonably be included in the project referred to in (1) and (2) above. The Commission shall consider the feasibility of requiring the project to be constructed in such a manner that it can support the addition of housing at some later time. (C) Off-Site Provision of Required Residential Space. For the purpose of calculating the 3 to 1 ratio between residential and nonresidential use, two or more projects for new construction within the Van Ness Special Use District may be considered and approved together as linked projects. The requirements of Paragraph (A) above may be satisfied if the aggregate amount of occupied floor area for residential use in two or more linked projects is at least three times greater than the aggregate amount of occupied floor area for nonresidential use. (i) Those building permit applicants who wish to link two or more projects for the purpose of meeting the 3 to 1 residential to nonresidential ratio shall file with the Planning Department a statement of intent identifying the applications covering the projects that are to be considered and approved together; (ii) When the Planning Department approves an application for a project containing only nonresidential use and the project is linked to one or more other projects pursuant to the statement of intent filed with the Department, it shall include as a condition of approval a requirement prohibiting the project sponsor from commencing any work on the site until the Zoning Administrator issues a written determination that such work may proceed. The Zoning Administrator shall not issue such a determination until those permits authorizing the projects containing residential use have been issued and foundations have been completed at each such site; (iii) If a permit for a project containing nonresidential use expires because of delays in the completion of foundations for linked projects containing residential uses, new permits may be approved for the nonresidential project within three years of such expiration without regard to the 3 to 1 residential ratio requirement if a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy or a Permit of Occupancy has been issued for each project containing residential use; (iv) No building or portion of a building approved as a linked project that contains residential use required to meet the 3 to 1 residential to nonresidential ratio requirement shall be used for any nonresidential purposes; provided, however, that this restriction shall no longer apply if 50 percent or more of the non-residential occupied floor area in the linked projects has been converted to residential use, or has been demolished, or has been destroyed by fire or other act of God; (v) The Zoning Administrator shall impose as a condition of approval of a permit authorizing the residential uses of linked projects the requirement that the owner record in the land records of the property a notice of restrictions, approved as to form by the Zoning Administrator, placed on the use of the property by this Section. (D) Nonconforming Uses. A use which existed lawfully at the effective date of this Section and which fails to conform to the use limitation of Section 243(c)(8)(A) above, shall be considered a nonconforming use and subject to the provisions of Sections 180 through 188 of this Code, including the provisions of Section 182 regarding change of use, except as follows: (i) In calculating the cost of structural alterations pursuant to Section 181(b)(4), the cost of reinforcing the building to meet the standards for seismic loads and forces of the 1975 Building Code shall not be included; and (ii) Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 181(b), the structure occupied by the nonconforming use may be enlarged by an amount equal to 20 percent of the gross floor area of the existing structure. (E) Demolitions. All demolitions of buildings containing residential use and all conversions from residential uses to nonresidential uses above the ground floor shall be permitted only if authorized as a conditional use under Section 303 of this Code, unless the Director of the Department of Building Inspection or the Chief of the Bureau of Fire Prevention and Public Safety determines that the building is unsafe or dangerous and that demolition is the only feasible means to secure the public safety. When considering whether to grant a conditional use permit for the demolition or conversion, in lieu of the criteria set forth in Section 303 of this Code, consideration shall be given to the adverse impact on the public health, safety and general welfare of the loss of housing stock in the District and to any unreasonable hardship to the applicant if the permit is denied. The definition of residential use shall be as set forth in Section 243(c)(8)(A), but shall not include any guest room in a building classified as a residential hotel subject to the Residential Hotel Unit Conversion and Demolition Ordinance. A Conditional Use authorization shall not be required if the demolition permit is sought in order to comply with a court order directing or permitting the owner to demolish a building because it is unsafe. No person shall be permitted to construct anything on the site of a demolished building subject to such an order for a period of two years unless (a) the proposal is for at least the same number and size of dwelling units and guest rooms and the same amount of nonresidential floor area as that which was demolished or (b) the applicant requests and is granted an exemption from this requirement on the ground that the applicant has demonstrated that (1) the need for demolition did not arise because of the deliberate or

unreasonable neglect of the maintenance of the building, or that (2) the restrictions would cause undue hardship to the property owner or that (3) the restrictions would leave the property without any substantial remaining market value or reasonable use. (9) Residential Parking. Projects with parking which exceeds the amount permitted in Section 151.1 for an RC District shall be permitted if: (A) the project was approved prior to the effective date of this Ordinance No. 232-14; (B) the project builds no more parking than the amount approved; and (C) the project proceeds to construction within three years of the effective date of this Ordinance No. 232-14. (10) Medical Center Parking. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Code, the maximum parking provisions for the Van Ness Medical Use Subdistrict shall not exceed the lesser of 990 spaces or 125 percent of the minimum number of spaces required by Code in the aggregate for the Cathedral Hill Campus which, for purposes of this Subsection, shall be the Van Ness Medical Use District and Assessor's Block 0690, Lot 016, located at 1375 Sutter Street. Any parking sought up to this maximum but that exceeds the parking provisions outlined elsewhere in this Code may only be granted by the Planning Commission as a Conditional Use authorization. (11) Medical Center Loading. Loading standards for medical centers within the Van Ness Medical Use Subdistrict applicable under Section 154(b) of this Code may be reduced from the required minimum dimensions through a Conditional Use authorization, provided that the dimensions provided will be sufficient to meet the reasonably foreseeable loading demands associated with the proposed facility. (12) Adult Entertainment Businesses. Adult Businesses per Section 102 of this Code are not permitted. (13) Entertainment Uses. Nighttime Entertainment and Arts Activities, as defined in Section 102 of this Code, shall require notification as set forth in Section 312 of this Code. (14) Medical Center Street Frontages. If authorized as a Conditional Use under Section 303 of this Code, a medical center within the Van Ness Medical Use Subdistrict may deviate from the street frontage requirements of Section 145.1 of this Code, so long as the Planning Commission finds that the proposed street frontages otherwise achieve the intended purposes of Section 145.1 to "preserve, enhance and promote attractive, clearly defined street frontages that are pedestrian-oriented, fine-grained, and which are appropriate and compatible with the buildings and uses" in the surrounding areas. (15) Wind Standards. Wind standards shall apply pursuant to Section 148. (d) Van Ness Medical Use Subdistrict – Conditional Use for Medical Center. Within the Van Ness Medical Use Subdistrict, the boundaries of which are shown on Sectional Map No. SU02 of the Zoning Map, medical facilities affiliated with the same institution, separated only by a street or alley, shall be considered a single medical center for purposes of this section. The "Van Ness Medical Use Subdistrict" shall be defined as the area shown on Sectional Map No. SU02, to provide medical services by a licensed medical provider. The purpose of the Subdistrict is to allow for the development of a seismically compliant medical facility with unique design requirements not otherwise permitted within the Van Ness Special Use District. To the extent provided in Section 243, deviations from the controls of Section 243 shall be permitted in the Subdistrict relating to bulk, FAR, parking, loading, projections and obstructions over streets and alleys, and street frontage due to the unique requirements of new medical centers.

In order to provide for certain areas with special building forms and natural characteristics, there shall be Residential Character Districts as designated on Special Use Districts Sectional Maps of the Zoning Map. In these Residential Character Districts, all provisions of the Planning Code applicable to the underlying R (Residential) District shall continue to apply to Residential Character Districts except as otherwise provided in the sections for the specific districts which follow or as shown on the Zoning Map. A Residential Character District may include residential design guidelines for that district, to supplement the "Residential Design Guidelines" published by the Planning Department, as amended from time to time. (Added by Ord. 32-96, App. 1/11/96; amended by Ord. 188-15 , File No. 150871, App. 11/4/2015, Eff. 12/4/2015) AMENDMENT HISTORY Nonsubstantive changes; Ord. 188-15 , Eff. 12/4/2015.

The Zoning Administrator may require modifications to the exterior of a proposed new residential building or proposed alteration of an existing residential building in order to bring it into conformity with the General Plan and with the "Residential Design Guidelines" as amended. These modifications may include, but are not limited to, changes in siting, building envelope, scale, texture and detailing, openings, and landscaping.

SEC. 247. DOWNTOWN SUPPORT OPEN SPACE DEMONSTRATION SPECIAL USE DISTRICT. (a) Purpose. In order to provide that a certain area within the C-3-S District be able to be developed for Hotel use with an increased basic floor area ratio of 7.5 to 1, there shall be a “Downtown Support Special Use District” (also referred to as the “C-3-S (SU) District”) as designated on Sectional Map SU01 of the Zoning Map. (b) Requirements. (1) Floor Area Ratio. The basic and maximum floor area ratio of the C-3-S (SU) District, after purchase of all market-rate, available TDR within the C-3-S District, shall be 7.5:1. Development at densities above the basic floor area ratio of 7.5:1 in this special use district will not be permitted. Roof eaves, cornices, or belt courses that project no more than two feet from the face of the building wall shall be excluded from the FAR calculation. Where there are fewer square feet of TDR within the C-3-S District available than the Planning Commission determines is required for a project, the Planning Commission may, as part of a Section 309 review, authorize a project sponsor to make a monetary contribution towards the preservation of a Landmark building within the C-3 area in an amount to be determined by the Commission. For purposes of this Section 247, the C-3 area shall include any C-3 District and any P District adjacent thereto. All other provisions of this Code applicable to the C-3-S

District shall apply in the C-3-S (SU) District. (2) Gross Floor Area Calculation. Notwithstanding the definition of Gross Floor Area in Section 102 of this Code, balconies, porches, roof decks, terraces, courts, and similar features shall be excluded from the calculation of Gross Floor Area if they are fully open to the sky, even if covered by retractable canopies and associated support structures. However, the square footage of these excluded features shall be used to calculate any development impact fees that typically would be due in relation to an increased FAR. (3) Privately-Owned Public Open Space Requirements; Payment of In-lieu Fee. The Board of Supervisors hereby authorizes the payment of a fee of $2,600,000 in lieu of the project sponsor’s provision of the 4th and 6th floor terraces at 888 Howard Street as required on-site open space for the project constructed pursuant to this Section 247 . The amount of the in-lieu fee represents a construction cost of $290.70 per square foot of Gross Floor Area multiplied by the 8,600 square foot of open space required by Section 138 of this Code, and an additional $100,000 representing the maintenance cost that typically accompanies any POPOS that is the responsibility of the private owner. While the Board holds that maintaining the public nature of POPOS spaces are the responsibility of the property owner, in authorizing the payment of an in-lieu fee in this case the Board finds and determines that: (A) the Planning Commission’s original approval of the project noted the poor quality of the open space; (B) alternative, suitable open space sites cannot be acquired within the neighborhood of the project; (C) improvements to the quality of the existing open space are neither feasible nor appropriate; and (D) while the City should always strive to maintain requirements associated with development approvals, in this case the alternative in-lieu payment provides greater public benefit than the original open space requirement. (c) Authorized Use of the In-Lieu Fee. The in-lieu fee shall be dedicated to the Recreation and Parks Department and used to improve the lighting and safety features of Victoria Manolo Draves Park, including any increased funding required to staff evening hours. The improved lighting shall be provided within two years of the Recreation and Parks Department receiving payment of the funds.

(See Interpretations related to this Section.) (a) Purpose. In order to convert an under-utilized and outmoded industrial area to a unique residential neighborhood close to downtown which will contribute significantly to the City's housing supply, create tapered residential buildings, provide an appropriate mixture of retail sales and personal services to support new residential development, provide a buffer of office and parking use between the bridge and freeway ramps and the housing sites, and allow the existing industrial, service and office uses to remain, there shall be the Folsom and Main Residential/Commercial Special Use District as designated on Sectional Map No. SU01 of the Zoning Map of the City and County of San Francisco. (b) Controls. The following zoning controls are applicable in the Residential/Commercial Special Use District. (1) Wind Standards. Wind standards shall apply pursuant to Section 148. (2) Uses. (A) Permitted uses are those permitted in an RC-4 District, plus the uses listed in Subsection (e)(1)(B) below; provided that, for newly constructed buildings or additions of 20 percent or more of an existing building's gross floor area, at least six net square feet of residential use is provided for each one net square foot of non-residential use on any lot. Additions of less than 20 percent of a building's gross floor area are exempt from the six to one residential requirements. Once granted, this exemption from the residential development requirement for building additions may not be repeated for any single property. Any addition of more than 20 percent of gross square feet of building area shall be required to provide the housing on a six- to-one basis for all of the additional building area. All areas used for parking for either residential or non-residential uses shall be excluded in the calculation of the residential/non- residential ratio. For the purposes of application of this 6 to 1 ratio, Hotels as defined under Section 102 shall be considered a non-residential rather than a residential use. (B) The use provisions applicable to an RC-4 District shall be applicable to the "Residential/Commercial" Subdistrict with the following modifications or additions: (i) all uses defined as Institutional uses under Section 102 shall be permitted as of right as principal uses; (ii) Utility Installation uses, defined in Section 102, shall be permitted as conditional uses, with such utility uses to include telecommunications and internet communication co- location, web-hosting and other similar facilities, provided such uses are primarily conducted within enclosed buildings; (iii) Automotive uses, as defined in Section 102 shall be permitted as a principal use for only five (5) years after the construction of the building, after which a Conditional Use authorization shall be required and Private Auto Parking Lots, as defined in Section 102 of this Code shall be a conditional use limited to two years per each conditional use authorization; (iv) Planned Unit Developments, Arts Activities, and Mortuaries, as defined in Code Section 102, are not permitted. (v) all Retail Sales and Service uses, as defined in Section 102 of this Code, shall be permitted as of right as principal uses; (vi) Office Uses shall be permitted as of right above the ground floor or below the ground floor, and require conditional use authorization on the ground floor; (vii) Trade Shops and Catering uses shall be permitted as of right above or below the ground floor, and shall require Conditional Use authorization at the ground floor; (viii) Movie Theaters, Nighttime Entertainment and General Entertainment uses shall be permitted as of right as principal uses; (ix) Animal Hospital shall be permitted as conditional uses; (x) Wholesale Establishment shall be permitted as of right as principal uses; (xi) Light Manufacturing shall be permitted as of right as principal uses; (xii) Internet Service Exchanges shall be permitted as of right as principal uses. (C) A nonconforming use may be changed to any equally or more conforming use without providing the 6 to 1 ratio of required residential space. (D) No use, even though listed as a permitted use or otherwise allowed, shall be permitted in the Residential/Commercial Subdistrict which, by reason of its nature or manner of operation, creates conditions that are hazardous, noxious, or offensive through the emission of odor, fumes, smoke, cinders, dust, gas, vibration, glare, refuse, water-carried waste, or excessive noise. (3) Density. (A) Residential Density. There shall be no density limit for Residential Uses in the Residential/Commercial Subdistrict. The provisions of Sections 207 and 208 related to residential density shall not apply. (B) Non-residential Density. There shall be a density limit for non-residential uses, which shall be measured as a Floor Area Ratio (FAR), as defined by Section 102 of this Code. The maximum nonresidential FAR for newly constructed buildings or additions of 20 percent or more of an existing building shall be 0.75. Otherwise the FAR for the Residential/Commercial Subdistrict shall be five-to-one. The provisions of Section 123, 124, 125 and 127 relating to Floor Area Ratio shall apply.

(a) General. A Special Use District entitled the “San Francisco Gateway Special Use District” (SUD) is hereby established, generally bounded by Kirkwood Avenue to the northeast, Rankin Street to the southeast, McKinnon Avenue to the southwest, and Toland Street to the northwest. The precise boundaries of the SUD are shown on Sectional Map SU10 of the Zoning Map. (b) Purpose. The purpose of the SUD is to accommodate a unique combination of PDR (Production, Distribution, and Repair) uses, including both traditional and evolving PDR uses, and to give effect to the Development Agreement for the San Francisco Gateway Project (“Development Agreement”), as approved by the Board of Supervisors in the ordinance in File No. 250427. The SUD will advance established City policy to create, protect, and preserve PDR uses and a wide range of employment opportunities, in light of economic pressures that have reduced PDR space and employment opportunities across San Francisco. New, large-scale PDR development has been limited in San Francisco given the higher rents obtainable for other land uses, and existing PDR space that has not been redeveloped for other uses is frequently unsuitable for current PDR users. The SUD contains a large site with a single owner, and as such is uniquely positioned within the PDR districts for a large-scale, modern PDR development to meet the needs of City businesses and residents.

PDR businesses provide employment opportunities for a wide range of workers, including those without college degrees or experience, at generally higher salaries than the retail sector. The development facilitated by the SUD would provide these opportunities for a wide range of workers, both by directly creating new jobs and providing spaces and services that support other City businesses and industries. With climate change, as well as industry and regulatory changes, PDR businesses need flexible facilities that can accommodate a variety of vehicle types and sizes. The SUD’s site- specific development controls are necessary to adapt and refine PDR district zoning controls generally designed for smaller PDR buildings with a single user. The controls will facilitate the development of high-efficiency, enclosed PDR buildings with multiple users, large PDR spaces that accommodate modern loading facilities and vehicle circulation, and the transition to electrified vehicle fleets for such users. (c) Definitions. “Major Modification” means a deviation of 15% or more from any dimensional or numerical standard in this SUD or in the DSG. “Minor Modification” means a deviation of less than 15% from any dimensional or numerical standard in this SUD or in the San Francisco Gateway Design Standards and Guidelines (DSG), or any deviation from any non-numerical standard in the DSG. (d) Relationship to the Development Agreement. This Section 249.7 shall be read and construed consistent with the Development Agreement, and all development within the SUD that is subject to the Development Agreement shall satisfy the requirements of the Development Agreement for so long as the Development Agreement remains in effect. (e) Relationship to Design Standards and Guidelines. The San Francisco Gateway Design Standards and Guidelines (DSG), adopted by the Planning Commission by Motion No. 21831, and as may be periodically amended, sets forth standards and guidelines applicable within the SUD and are incorporated here by reference. A copy of the DSG is on file with the Board of Supervisors in File No. 250426 and is available on the Planning Department’s website. This SUD and the DSG shall be read and construed together so as to avoid any conflict to the greatest extent possible. If there is an unavoidable conflict between the SUD and the DSG, this SUD shall prevail. The Planning Commission shall review and approve amendments to the DSG, provided, however, the Planning Director may approve minor amendments to the DSG. For the purposes of this subsection (e), “minor amendments to the DSG” shall be defined as amendments that are necessary to correct inadvertent omissions or mistakes in the DSG and are consistent with the intent of the DSG, the SUD, the General Plan, and the Development Agreement. (f) Development Controls. Applicable provisions of the Planning Code shall control except as otherwise provided in this Section 249.7. In the event of a conflict between other provisions of the Planning Code and this Section 249.7, the provisions of this Section 249.7 shall control. (1) Development applications for the construction of new buildings within the SUD shall require a Conditional Use Authorization for a Planned Unit Development, except those buildings constructed pursuant to Section 181(d). (2) Uses. Except as described in this subsection (f)(2), uses shall be conditionally or principally permitted pursuant to the controls for the PDR-2 zoning district in Section 210.3. The following use controls apply in the SUD: (A) Private Parking Garage is principally permitted, provided that such garage use shall not allow for storage or parking of personal vehicles in the form of employee, commuter, or short-term visitor parking. Within the SUD, such Private Parking Garage use may include storage and parking of automobiles, trucks, buses, vans, bicycles, motorcycles, and similar vehicles for any duration of time, and shall not be subject to provisions regulating automobile parking or loading as set forth in Article 1.5. Washing, loading, preparation for vehicle movement in and out of the garage, and light maintenance of such vehicles is permitted as accessory to the Private Parking Garage use without limitation as to the area used for such activities. (B) The addition or inclusion of electric vehicle charging and associated infrastructure shall be permitted for any principally permitted or conditionally permitted uses established within the SUD and shall not be considered a change of use, notwithstanding any restriction on Fleet Charging as an accessory use contained in the Planning Code. (C) Parcel Delivery Service is principally permitted up to a total of 225,000 square feet of Occupied Floor Area within the SUD, and is permitted as an accessory use to any other principal use established within the SUD. Any amount of Parcel Delivery Service use beyond this limit shall require Conditional Use authorization pursuant to Section 303(cc). (3) No more than a total of 8,500 square feet of Occupied Floor Area for Retail Sales and Service uses shall be permitted within the SUD. The use size limits on Retail Sales and Service uses as described in Section 210.3A shall not apply within the SUD. (4) Maximum Off-Street Parking. Off-street parking is not required but shall not exceed a maximum of 1.5 spaces per 200 square feet of Gross Floor Area for all Retail Sales and Services uses, and a maximum of 1 space per 1,500 square feet of Gross Floor Area for all other uses. Where off-street parking is provided that exceeds the amounts identified above, such parking shall be classified not as accessory parking but as a conditional use. (5) Building Height Exemptions. In addition to the building height exemptions listed in Section 260(b), the following features shall also be exempt from the height limits established by this Code:

rea for all other uses. Where off-street parking is provided that exceeds the amounts identified above, such parking shall be classified not as accessory parking but as a conditional use.

In addition to the building height exemptions listed in Section 260(b), the following features shall also be exempt from the height limits established by this Code: (A) Solar Array and EV Charging System Components. Any component of a solar array system needed to collect or store solar energy, support and maintain solar panels, and transfer their captured energy, and any component of a charging system for electric vehicle charging. System components include solar panels and mounting hardware, any vertical and horizontal structures utilized to support the solar panels, fire sprinkler system components, lighting, conduit, cabling and battery storage, as well as infrastructure for electric vehicle charging. This exemption shall be limited to the top 20 feet of such features, without regard to their horizontal area. (B) Vehicle Parking and Circulation. Parking and circulation of passenger and non-passenger vehicles, without additional structures or equipment other than trellises or similar overhead screening for such vehicles with a maximum height of 20 feet. This exemption shall apply without regard to horizontal area. (C) Vertical Screening for Vehicle Parking and Circulation. Vertical screening for vehicle parking and circulation, with a maximum height of eight feet. This exemption shall apply without regard to horizontal area. (D) Awnings. Horizontal awnings or other covering elements projecting from rooftop penthouses for the purpose of adequately protecting elevator and stair openings from water intrusion and damage, with a maximum height of 12 feet, and a maximum horizontal area of 100 square feet per protected opening. (6) Streetscape and Pedestrian Improvements. The Streetscape and Pedestrian Improvements requirements set forth in Section 138.1 shall not apply within the SUD. The streetscape and pedestrian improvements included in Exhibit P to the Development Agreement shall govern within the SUD. (7) Transportation Demand Management. The Transportation Demand Management (TDM) Program requirements set forth in Section 169 shall not apply within the SUD. The TDM provisions included in Exhibit J to the Development Agreement shall govern within the SUD. (8) Demolition and Replacement of Industrial Buildings in PDR Districts. The demolition and replacement requirements for industrial buildings containing Industrial Uses shall not apply within the SUD for any building constructed pursuant to the Development Agreement while it is in effect. (g) Project Review and Approval. (1) Design Review and Approval. An applicant may submit, but is not required to submit, a design review application for review by the Planning Department for consistency with the Planning Code, including this Section 249.7, the Conditional Use Authorization for a Planned Unit Development, and the DSG, prior to preparing and submitting a site or building permit application. If an applicant elects to submit a design review application, the applicant must receive approval from the Planning Director, or the Planning Commission if required, before obtaining any permits for the applicable building construction (other than for demolition or site preparation). If an applicant proposes a Minor Modification or Major Modification, the applicant must obtain such Minor Modification or Major Modification through a design review application approval. Standards and limitations on design review application approval are set forth in the Development Agreement and in subsection (g)(2). Nothing in this Section 249.7 limits the Charter authority of any City department or commission or the rights of City agencies to review and approve proposed infrastructure as set forth in the Development Agreement. (2) Design Review Applications and Process. (A) Applications. Each design review application shall include the documents and other materials necessary to determine consistency with the Planning Code, including this Section 249.7, the Conditional Use Authorization for a Planned Unit Development, and the DSG, including site plans, floor plans, sections, elevations, renderings, landscape plans, and exterior material samples to illustrate the overall concept design of the proposed building(s). The design review application shall not be required to identify infrastructure or streetscape improvements that may be required in association with the proposed building(s), which are subject to the review and approval process described in the Development Agreement. If an applicant requests a Minor Modification or Major Modification, the application shall describe proposed changes in reasonable detail, including narrative and supporting images, if appropriate, and a statement of the purpose or benefits of the proposed modification(s). (B) Completeness. Planning Department staff shall review the application for completeness and advise the applicant in writing of any deficiencies within 30 days of the date of the application or, if applicable, within 15 days of receipt of any supplemental information requested pursuant to this section. (C) Design Review Process. Following a determination of completeness of the design review application in accordance with subsection (g)(2)(B), Planning Department staff shall

conduct design review. If an applicant submits a design review application that does not propose any Minor Modifications or Major Modifications, the Planning Director, within 30 days of the determination of completeness, shall prepare and issue a design review approval letter to the applicant if the design is found to be in compliance with the Planning Code, including this Section 249.7, the Conditional Use Authorization for a Planned Unit Development, and the DSG, or notify the applicant of their determination of non-compliance. If an applicant submits a design review application that proposes Minor Modifications or Major Modifications, Planning Department staff shall prepare a staff report assessing compliance with the Planning Code, including this Section 249.7, the Conditional Use Authorization for a Planned Unit Development, and the DSG, including a recommendation regarding any Minor Modifications or Major Modifications sought. The staff report shall be delivered to the applicant and any third parties requesting notice in writing, shall be kept on file, and shall be posted on the Department’s website for public review, within 60 days of the determination of completeness. If Planning Department staff determines that the design is not compliant with the Planning Code, including this Section 249.7, the Conditional Use Authorization for a Planned Unit Development, or the DSG, the Applicant may resubmit the application, in which case the requirements of this subsection (g)(2) for determination of completeness, staff review and determination of compliance, and delivery, filing, and posting of the staff report, shall apply anew. (D) Approvals and Public Hearings for Buildings. (i) Buildings Seeking Minor Modifications. Within 10 days after the delivery and posting of the staff report on the design review application, the Planning Director shall approve or disapprove the design based on its compliance with the Planning Code, including this Section 249.7, the Conditional Use Authorization for a Planned Unit Development, and the DSG. If the design review application is consistent with the quantitative standards set forth in this Section 249.7 and the DSG, the Planning Director’s discretion to approve or disapprove the design review application shall be limited to the application’s consistency with the qualitative, non-numeric, and non-dimensional elements of the DSG. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 249.7, the Planning Director may, in their discretion, refer any application that proposes a Minor Modification to the Planning Commission if the Planning Director determines that the proposed Minor Modification does not meet the intent of the DSG or this Section 249.7. (ii) Buildings Seeking Major Modifications, or Minor Modifications Referred by Planning Director. If a design review application seeks one or more Major Modifications, or if a design review application that proposed a Minor Modification is referred to the Planning Commission, the Planning Commission shall calendar the item for a public hearing within 30 days after delivery and posting of the staff report on the design review application, or the Planning Director’s referral (as applicable), subject to any required noticing. The Planning Commission’s review shall be limited to the proposed Major Modification, or the Minor Modification referred by the Planning Director. The Planning Commission shall consider all comments from the public and the recommendations of the staff report and the Planning Director in making a decision to approve or disapprove the design review application, including the granting of any Major Modifications or referred Minor Modifications in accordance with the standard of review established under this subsection (g)(2). If a Major Modification or intensification of a Planned Unit Development exception requires Planning Commission approval of a new Conditional Use Authorization, the Planning Commission shall consider such new Conditional Use Authorization in conjunction with the design review application proposing a Major Modification, and the above timelines for staff review and determination of compliance, and delivery, filing, and posting of the staff report, shall not apply. (iii) Notice of Hearings. Notice of any Planning Commission hearings required under this SUD shall be provided in accordance with Planning Code Section 333. (3) Use Consistency Review. All site or building permit applications for construction of new buildings or alterations of or additions to existing structures, or for permits of occupancy that would authorize a new use or a change of use, including changes within subcategories of use (“Applications”), submitted to the Department of Building Inspection shall be forwarded to the Planning Department for use consistency review within 15 days of submittal. For purposes of this subsection (g)(3), Applications do not include any submittals for interior improvements, modifications, or alterations that do not involve a new use or change of use, or an expansion or intensification of an existing use, provided however, that any such improvement, modification, or alteration shall otherwise comply with the applicable requirements of the Planning Code. Once referred, the Department shall review the Application for consistency with the Planning Code, including this Section 249.7, the Development Agreement, the DSG, and any applicable Conditional Use Authorization. The Application shall include any documents, plans, and materials necessary to determine such consistency. (4) Discretionary Review. No requests for discretionary review shall be accepted or heard for projects within the SUD. (Added by Ord. 248-25, File No. 250426, App. 12/12/2025, Eff. 1/12/2026, Oper. 1/12/2026)

If there is a conflict between any otherwise applicable provision of the Planning Code and this SUD, this SUD shall prevail, except as to any voter-adopted initiatives in effect as of the effective date of this SUD and, once the Development Agreement is no longer in effect, all applicable voter-adopted initiatives. If there is a conflict between otherwise applicable portions of the Planning Code and a standard or guideline in the DSG as of the effective date of this SUD, the standard or guideline in the DSG as of the effective date of this SUD shall prevail. If there is a conflict between otherwise applicable portions of the Planning Code and a standard or guideline in the DSG that has been amended after the effective date of this SUD, the applicable Planning Code provision shall prevail over such amended standard or guideline unless this SUD provides that the DSG governs that standard or guideline, in which case the DSG as amended shall prevail. Later amendments to the Planning Code sections referenced in the SUD shall apply where not in conflict with this SUD or DSG (as set forth above) or the Development Agreement. (e) Definitions. Any capitalized term used in this SUD and not otherwise defined in this SUD shall have the meaning ascribed to it in the DSG, if it is defined in the DSG.

(4) Conditional Uses. Only the establishment of a use that expressly requires a Conditional Use authorization under this SUD shall be subject to the requirements of Section 303 of the Planning Code, and the discontinuance or demolition of any use shall not require a Conditional Use authorization within this SUD. (5) Intermediate Length Occupancy. Intermediate Length Occupancy Dwelling Units shall be permitted Residential Use characteristic within this SUD in accordance with subsection (f)(2), above, and Table 249.9-1. Planning Code Section 202.10 shall not apply within the SUD. (6) Accessory Uses. Accessory Uses shall be governed by the following controls and the controls set forth in the DSG. (A) Generally. Accessory Uses are related minor uses located on the same parcel that support any principally permitted or conditionally permitted use located on such parcel. Any use which does not qualify as an accessory use shall be classified as principally permitted, conditionally permitted, or not permitted, unless it qualifies as a temporary or interim use under this Section 249.9. Accessory Uses are permitted for up to 33% of the total floor area of the applicable principally permitted or conditionally permitted use, except this limitation shall not apply to accessory off-street parking and loading, accessory wholesaling, manufacturing or processing of foods, goods, or commodities, and Hybrid Residential Uses, which shall be subject to the controls set forth below. (B) Accessory and Replacement Parking and Loading. Accessory parking and loading is permitted on all parcels excluding parcels containing Project Open Space. Parking is permitted within below or above ground structures subject to the requirements set forth in this SUD. Accessory parking and loading to specific uses may be located on a different parcel from the use and may be shared among various uses. Replacement parking for Stonestown Galleria Mall, as prescribed in subsection (g)(13), below, is permitted on any parcel within the SUD except Parcels NW1, NW2, and NW3. 100% of the buildable floor area of Parcels W2 and S3 is permitted as replacement parking for Stonestown Galleria Mall and parking for non- residential uses in the SUD.

The criteria in this Subsection (b)(3) shall be in lieu of the criteria set forth in Sections 303(c), Section 121.1 (Development of Large Lots, Neighborhood Commercial Districts) and Section 121.2 (Use Size Limits (Non-Residential), Neighborhood Commercial Districts) and Section 253 (Review of Proposed Buildings and Structures Exceeding a Height of 40 Feet in R Districts) of this Code. In making determinations on applications for conditional use authorization within the California-Presidio Special Use District, the Planning Commission shall consider the purposes set forth in Subsection (a) above, in addition to any other criteria to be applied hereunder. (4) Floor Area Ratio. The floor area ratio limit shall be 2.5 to 1, provided, however, that the limit shall not apply to floor area used for off-street parking and loading and for driveways and maneuvering areas incidental thereto, where such parking and loading is located entirely below curb level as measured from the property line at the center point of the building along its California Street frontage. (5) Height and Bulk Restrictions. The applicable Height and Bulk for this Special Use District shall be 65-X. (6) Required Setbacks - Site Coverage. The provisions of Sections 132, 134, and 136 of this Code governing setbacks shall not apply. (7) Parking. The off-street parking requirement may be modified by the Planning Commission pursuant to the procedures for granting Conditional Use authorization set forth in Section 303 of this Code. In acting upon any application for a modification of parking requirements the Planning Commission shall consider the criteria set forth below in lieu of the criteria set forth in Section 303, or elsewhere in the Code, and shall grant the modification if it finds that: (A) Modification of the parking requirement is justified by the reasonable anticipated auto usage by visitors of the project, including, without limitation, taking into consideration appropriate link factors due to multiple uses of programs and facilities, the normal hours of operation of such uses, programs and facilities and other factors applicable to the proposed uses; or (B) Modification of the parking requirement will not be detrimental to the health, safety, convenience or general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity of the project. In making such finding, the Planning Commission may, among other things, take into consideration (i) the proposed project's net effect on parking demand as compared to the parking demand that is not currently being met because of the absence of off-street parking associated with existing uses, and (ii) whether the parking proposed for the project will decrease the deficiency that currently exists with respect to the parking that would normally be required under the Planning Code for the existing structures and uses. Notwithstanding any other provisions of the Planning Code, parking may be made available to nearby residents, businesses and the general public for use as short-term or evening parking when not utilized by the uses authorized hereunder to which such parking is otherwise accessory. (8) Demolitions. The demolition of all buildings in this California-Presidio Special Use District containing residential uses shall be authorized pursuant to the procedures for granting authorization set forth in Section 303 of this Code, provided that the notice and relocation assistance provisions of Chapter 37 of the San Francisco Administrative Code (the San Francisco Residential Rent Stabilization and Arbitration Ordinance) are met. In considering whether to grant a conditional use permit for demolition, in lieu of the criteria set forth in Section 303, consideration shall be given to: (A) The purposes of this California-Presidio Special Use District set forth in Subsection (a), above; (B) The adverse impact on the public health, safety and welfare due to the loss of existing housing stock in the underlying RM-1 and Sacramento NCD Districts, and (C) The hardship to the applicant if the permit is denied or a particular mitigation or condition is required.

SPECIAL USE DISTRICT. (a) Purpose. There shall be a non-contiguous Special Use District (“SUD”) for sites owned by the City and County of San Francisco and under the jurisdiction of the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) to enable SFMTA to use the sites for transportation and other Public uses as well as uses permitted by the underlying zoning district. This SUD also enables mixed-use residential development with characteristics not accommodated by underlying zoning. (b) Applicability. The provisions in this Section 249.22 shall apply to the following Assessor’s Block/Lots: 0019/001; 0490/009, 010, 011, 012, 013; 0635/009, 009A; 0669/012; 1072/001; 1439/035, 036, 045, 048, 049; 1440/028, 029, 030; 1453/020; 1526/002, 028, 028A; 1596/044, 045; 1730/050; 1763/044; 2647/034, 017; 2864/050; 2979A/002, 034; 2988A/007; 3582/087; 6507/023; 6972/036; 7225/013; 7226/016. Notwithstanding Planning Code Section 206.10, which prohibits projects within SUDs that implement Development Agreements from using the HC-SF Program, residential development projects within this SUD may use the HC-SF Program even when such development is associated with a Development Agreement, Project Agreement or other similar agreement. (c) General Controls. (1) Permitted Uses. In addition to any uses permitted by the zoning district in which the lot is located, uses permitted under Section 211.1 shall be principally permitted and uses conditionally permitted under 211.2 shall be conditionally permitted. Where there is a conflict between land use controls in the underlying zoning district and those in Sections 211.1 or 211.2, the more permissive control shall apply. (2) Residential Density. Maximum residential density limits or Floor Area Ratio limits shall not apply to Residential Uses in the SUD. Form Based density shall apply to Residential Uses in the SUD. (3) Measurement of Height. Notwithstanding Planning Code Section 260(a) regarding Method of Measurement, the height of a structure containing a Public Facility may be measured from the centerline of such structure along any frontage for that structure’s entire depth. (4) Bulk and Lot Coverage. For Development projects that are in height districts that allow heights of 400 feet or greater, and are using the HC-SF Program in Section 206.10, the following bulk controls and lot coverage provisions shall apply: (A) Notwithstanding Sections 270(i)(1)(A)(i) and 270(i)(1)(B)(i) no setbacks are required for interior property lines abutting lots with a Public Facility. (B) Below a height of 85 feet, no rear yard or lot coverage limits shall apply. For portions of a building between 85 feet in height and 120 feet in height, the bulk controls of Section 270(i) shall not apply; rather, for a lot that does not include a Public Facility, the lot coverage shall be limited to 60% of the lot area. (C) For portions of a building above 120 feet in height (herein “above the podium”), building mass may be provided in up to two towers that meet the bulk limits of Section 270(i)(1). However, the following exceptions to Section 270(i)(1) shall apply: (i) Tower separation may be reduced to not less than 50 feet if the height of the shorter tower above the podium is no taller than one-half the height of the taller tower above the podium. (ii) A tower’s average floorplate above the podium shall be no larger than 14,000 square feet. (iii) If there are two towers, one of the towers shall not be taller than 360 feet. (iv) The combined maximum gross floor area of two towers, measured for floors between 120 feet and 360 feet in height shall be limited to 576,000 square feet. (v) The average floorplate for the top 1/3 portion of a tower above the podium shall be reduced in square footage by 10% from the average floorplate of the lower 2/3 portion of the tower, and the allowed maximum dimensions in Section 270(i)(B) for such top 1/3 portion of the tower shall be reduced by 5% from the lower 2/3 portion of the tower. (vi) The standards in this subsection (c)(4)(C) are not eligible for the reduction or modification of standards in Section 206.10(d)(1)(M). (5) Open Space. Section 135 shall apply, except as follows: (A) On-Site Publicly Accessible Usable Open Space. The usable open space requirement may be met for projects subject to the SUD with on-site publicly accessible usable open space, including open space otherwise required by Planning Code Section 270.3. When on-site publicly accessible usable open space is provided, the maintenance, information plaque, and liability provisions of Section 270.3(e) shall apply. (B) Off-Site Publicly Accessible Usable Open Space. When additional off-site improvements are made to meet the usable open space requirement, including improvements on adjacent sidewalks and public rights-of-way, such open space improvements shall comply with all applicable regulations of the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency, San Francisco Art Commission, the Department of Public Works, the Bureau of Light, Heat and Power of the Public Utility Commission, or any other public agency, as applicable. The property owner shall maintain all such improvements and meet the liability provisions of Section 270.3(e) for the life of the project. (6) Development Impact Fees. For a development project on land subject to the SUD: (A) With the recommendation of the SFMTA Board of Directors, the Board of Supervisors may waive all or a portion of any applicable Transportation Sustainability Fee under Section 411A, and all or a portion of any applicable Jobs-Housing Linkage Program requirements under Section 413.

of Directors, the Board of Supervisors may waive all or a portion of any applicable Transportation Sustainability Fee under Section 411A, and all or a portion of any applicable Jobs-Housing Linkage Program requirements under Section 413. (B) The provisions of Section 415 et seq., as amended or replaced from time to time, shall apply. Notwithstanding Section 415.6(h)(1), a development project may receive development subsidies if the development provides the same number of on-site affordable units as required by the applicable on-site affordable housing requirement in Section 415 et seq., or any temporary reduction as set forth in Sections 415A et seq. or 415B et seq., plus an additional number of on-site affordable units equal to 25% of the applicable on-site affordable units. Additional units shall be provided as affordable to households at or below 80% of Area Median Income. Any units required to be affordable to middle- or moderate-income households under Sections 415.6(a), 415A, or 415B, as applicable, or this subsection 249.22(c)(6)(B), may instead be affordable to moderate- or low-income households. Notwithstanding Section 415.6(f)(1), the moderate and low income units may be located anywhere in the project.

In order to provide for the protection and enhancement of specialty retail and antique store uses in the Jackson Square area, there shall be established the Jackson Square Special Use District as designated on Sectional Map No. SU01 of the Zoning Map. The boundaries of this Special Use District shall be coterminous with the boundaries of the Jackson Square Historic District as established by Appendix B to Article 10 of this Code and further described in Section 3 of that Appendix, and shall also include Lot 4 of Block 195. The following provisions shall apply within the Jackson Square Special Use District: (a) Purposes. These controls are intended to protect and enhance the unique retail character of the Special Use District. All decisions of the Planning Commission and Department for the establishment of ground floor use shall be guided by the following factors: (1) Continuation and enhancement of existing ground floor retail uses are of critical importance to the character of the District and displacement of such uses should be discouraged; (2) Attraction and retention of similar new retail establishments that conform with the character of this District should be encouraged; and (3) Uses that greatly intensify the density of employment have a negative impact on the provision of neighborhood services, traffic circulation, and limited on- and off-street parking. (b) Controls. (1) General. The provisions of the C-2 District (Section 210.1) and applicable provisions of the Washington-Broadway Special Use District (Section 239) and the Chinatown Community Business District (Section 810) shall prevail except as provided in subsections (b)(2) and (b)(3) of this Section 249.25. (2) Conditional Uses. (A) Office Uses, Business Services, and Institutional Uses. Office Uses, Business Services, and Institutional Uses, as defined in Section 102 of this Code, at the ground floor are subject to Conditional Use authorization pursuant to Section 303 of this Code; provided, however, that building lobbies, entrances, and exits to and from the basement, ground floor, or upper floors, and other reasonably-sized common areas at the ground floor shall be permitted without Conditional Use authorization. In addition to the findings required under Section 303(c) for Conditional Use authorization, the Commission shall make the following findings: (i) The use shall be necessary to preserve the historic resource and no other use can be demonstrated to preserve the historic resource. (ii) The use shall be compatible with, and shall enhance, the unique retail character of the District. (B) Restaurants and Bars. Restaurant uses larger than 4,000 square feet and Bar uses may be permitted as a Conditional Use on the First Story through the procedures set forth in Section 303, provided that no Conditional Use authorization shall be required if the use remains the same as the prior authorized use, with no enlargement or intensification of use. (3) Prohibited Uses. Adult Businesses, as defined in Section 102 of this Code, are prohibited.

(a) Purpose. In order to facilitate the development of a mixed-use project including affordable and market-rate rental and ownership dwelling units, affordable senior dwelling units welcoming to the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) senior community, community facilities, open space and retail services generally consistent with the policies of the Market and Octavia Area Plan, approved by the Board of Supervisors on October 24, 2007 (the "Area Plan"), there shall be the Laguna, Haight, Buchanan and. Hermann Streets Special Use District, applicable to the two RM-3 and NC-3 zoned blocks bounded by Laguna, Haight, Buchanan and Hermann Streets, consisting of Assessor's Blocks 857 and portions of Assessor's Block 870. The following provisions shall apply within the Special Use District: (b) Applicability. The provisions of this Special Use District shall only apply to projects which require conditional use authorization under Section 303 of this Code. In considering the appropriateness of conditional use authorization within the Special Use District, the Commission shall, in addition to the factors required by Section 303, consider the following factors: (1) Parking. Consistent with the Area Plan, there shall be no minimum number of off-street parking spaces required for any use within the Special Use District. There shall be no more than 0.75 off-street parking space per unit, including dwelling units, senior dwelling units, which parking spaces may be located anywhere in the Special Use District. In addition, up to 51 replacement parking spaces may be provided in the Special Use District for the existing dental clinic located on Assessor's Block 870, Lot 3, provided that 15 of such spaces should be subject to a parking rate structure to encourage short-term use, and that the Project Sponsor AF Evans, or its successor, should use good faith efforts to agree with the owner of the dental clinic that any after tax revenue from such parking spaces should be used to support the indoor community facility; and provided that the owner of the dental clinic, within five years from the effective date of this ordinance, submits a plan consistent with Section 304.5 of this Code, for reuse of the dental clinic. The minimum number of parking spaces required for any commercial or community facility use set forth in Section 151.1 of this Code shall instead be the maximum number of spaces that can be provided for such commercial and community facility uses. (2) Off-Street Parking Standards. The off-street parking standards for both residential and non-residential parking spaces set forth in the Area Plan shall be generally applied, including that: (A) no more than 20 feet per block frontage of any building may be devoted to off-street parking ingress and egress, and such ingress and egress is not located on a Transit Preferential Street, Citywide Pedestrian Network or designated Neighborhood Commercial Street where an alternative frontage exists; (B) off-street parking at or above the ground floor be set back at least 25 feet from any street exceeding a width of 30 feet and that active uses be provided along such street frontages within the required setback; (C) vehicle movement on or around the project does not unduly impact pedestrian spaces or movement, transit service, bicycle movement, or the overall traffic movement in the district; (D) accommodating off-street parking does not degrade the overall urban design quality of the project; (E) parking does not diminish the quality and viability of existing or planned streetscape enhancements; (F) for residential projects of 50 units or more, all residential accessory parking in excess of 0.5 spaces per unit is stored and accessed by mechanical stackers or lifts, valet, or other space-efficient means that reduces space used for parking and maneuvering, maximizes other uses, and discourages the use of vehicles for commuting for daily errands; (G) projects that provide 10 or more spaces for non-residential uses dedicate 5 percent of those spaces, rounded down, to short-term, transient use by vehicles from certified car sharing organizations per Section 166, vanpool, rideshare, taxis, or other cooperative auto programs; (H) retail uses larger than 20,000 square feet which sell merchandise that is bulky or difficult to carry by hand or by public transit offer door-to-door delivery services and/or shuttle service; (I) car-share parking spaces be offered in at least the minimum amounts set forth in Planning Code 166; (J) accessory non- residential parking spaces be available to the general public from the hours of 7:00 p.m. to 7:00 a.m. Monday through Friday, and at all times on Saturday and Sunday; and (K) parking spaces be leased or sold separately from the rental or purchase price of units. (3) Loading. The minimum number of loading spaces required for any use as set forth in Section 152 of this Code shall instead be the maximum number of spaces that can be provided. (4) Residential Density. The base residential density limits of the underlying zoning as set forth in the Zoning Control Table for the district in which the lot is located shall apply. For

a project that exceeds those base density limits through a Section 304 planned unit development authorization, the policy of the Area Plan that 40 percent of on-site family units be two or more bedroom units shall apply. (5) Impact Fees or In-Kind Provision of Community Infrastructure. The Planning Commission shall consider imposition of a community infrastructure impact fees or accept in lieu the in kind provision of community infrastructure improvements generally consistent with the priorities set forth in the Area Plan, including publicly accessible open space in excess of the residential open space requirements of this Code and an indoor community facility, of a value comparable to the Area Plan policies. In the event the Planning Commission does not accept in lieu the in kind provision of publicly accessible open space in excess of the residential open space requirements of this Code or an indoor community facility, such in kind open space and community facilities shall not otherwise be required to be provided by a project in the Special Use District. Should impact fees, rather than in kind provision of infrastructure improvements, be provided in whole or part, such fees shall be deposited in the Market & Octavia Community Improvements Fund as proposed to be established by the Area Plan. Fees deposited in the Market & Octavia Community Improvements Fund, as proposed to be established by the Area Plan, may be used to support the indoor community facility. (c) Affordable Housing. Should the percentage of family and senior dwelling units in a project in the Special Use District proposed to be affordable to households of low- or moderate- income meet or exceed 35 percent of the total number of Dwelling Units in the project, the proposed amendments to Section 315.4(a)(1)(A), which can be found in Board of Supervisors File Nos. 071156 and 080255, imposing an additional affordable housing fee in the Market and Octavia Plan Area, shall not apply. (d) Waller Street. The project sponsor shall gain approval for the use of Waller Street from the Board of Supervisors prior to issuance of a building or site permit. (e) Expiration. If a site or building permit has not been issued and construction commenced on the mixed-use project described above, the provisions of this Special Use District shall expire five years from the effective date of this legislation.

(a) Purpose. There shall be a Van Ness & Market Residential Special Use District, which is comprised of the parcels zoned C-3-G in the Market Octavia Better Neighborhoods Plan area, and whose boundaries are designated on Sectional Map Nos. SU02 and SU07 of the Zoning Map of the City and County of San Francisco. This District is generally comprised of parcels focused at the intersections of Van Ness Avenue at Market Street and South Van Ness Avenue at Mission Street, along with parcels on both sides of Market and Mission Streets between 9th and Division Streets. This District is intended to be a transit-oriented, high-density neighborhood with a significant residential presence and a mix of neighborhood-serving uses. New development and major expansions must be predominantly residential. Other non-residential uses that are allowed and encouraged, include arts, institutional, and retail uses. Retail controls allow for smaller retail use sizes in order to emphasize neighborhood-serving character. These uses compliment the transit rich infrastructure in the area, which includes the Van Ness MUNI Metro Station and the intersection of several major transit corridors including Van Ness, Market Street, Mission Street and other major bus lines. This area is encouraged to transition from largely a back-office and warehouse support function to downtown into a more mixed-use residential district, and serves as a transition zone to the lower scale residential and neighborhood commercial areas to the west of the C-3. A notable amount of large citywide commercial and office activity will remain in the area, including government offices supporting the Civic Center and City Hall. This area was initially identified in the Downtown Plan of the General Plan as an area to encourage housing adjacent to the downtown. As part of the city’s Better Neighborhoods Program, this concept was fully articulated in the Market and Octavia Area Plan, and is described therein. (b) Use Controls. (1) Residential Density. There shall be no density limit for Residential Uses by lot area, but by the applicable requirements and limitations elsewhere in this Code, including but not limited to height, bulk, setbacks, open space, and exposure, as well as by the Market & Octavia Area Plan Fundamental Principles for Design, other applicable design guidelines, applicable elements and area plans of the General Plan, and design review by the Planning Department. The limitations set forth in the Zoning Control Table for the district in which the lot is located shall not apply. (2) Open Space Provider. The off-site open space permitted by this Section may be provided individually by the project sponsor or jointly by the project sponsor and other project sponsors, provided that each square foot of jointly developed open space may count toward only one sponsor's requirement. With the approval of the Planning Commission, a public or private agency may develop and maintain the open space, provided that (A) the project sponsor or sponsors pay for the cost of development of the number of square feet the project sponsor is required to provide, (B) provision satisfactory to the Commission is made for the continued maintenance of the open space for the actual lifetime of the building giving rise to the open space requirement, and (C) the Commission finds that there is reasonable assurance that the open space to be developed by such agency will be developed and open for use by the time the building, the open space requirement of which is being met by the payment, is ready for occupancy. (A) Off-Site Provision of Required Open Space. Up to 40 percent of usable open space required by Sections 135 and 138 may be provided off-site if it is within the SUD or within 900 feet of the project site and meets the standards described below for publicly accessible open space described below. (B) Publicly-Accessible Open Space Standards. (i) Open Space Types. Open space must be of one or more of the following types: a. An unenclosed park or garden at street grade or following the natural topography, including improvements to hillsides or other unimproved public areas according to the Market & Octavia Area Plan; b. An unenclosed plaza at street grade, with seating areas and landscaping and no more than 10 percent of the floor area devoted to food or beverage service; c. An unenclosed pedestrian pathway that meets the minimum standards described in Section 827(g)(3)(A)-(E) of this Code; d. A terrace or roof garden with landscaping; e. Streetscape improvements with landscaping and pedestrian amenities that result in additional space beyond the pre-existing sidewalk width and conform to the Market & Octavia Area Plan, such as sidewalk widening or building setbacks; and f. Streetscape improvements with landscaping and pedestrian amenities on alleyways from building face to building face, beyond basic street tree planting or street lighting as otherwise required by this Code, in accordance with the Market & Octavia Area Plan. (ii) Open space must meet the following standards: a. Be in such locations and provide such ingress and egress as will make the area convenient, safe, secure and easily accessible to the general public; b. Be appropriately landscaped; c. Be protected from uncomfortable winds; d. Incorporate ample seating and, if appropriate, access to limited amounts of food and beverage service, which will enhance public use of the area; e. Be well signed and accessible to the public during daylight hours; f. Be well lighted if the area is of the type requiring artificial illumination; g. Be designed to enhance user safety and security; h. Be of sufficie

appropriate, access to limited amounts of food and beverage service, which will enhance public use of the area; e. Be well signed and accessible to the public during daylight hours; f. Be well lighted if the area is of the type requiring artificial illumination; g. Be designed to enhance user safety and security; h. Be of sufficient size to be attractive and practical for its intended use; and (i)1 Have access to drinking water and toilets if feasible. (C) Maintenance. Open spaces shall be maintained at no public expense, except as might be provided for by any community facilities district that may be formed. The owner of the property on which the open space is located shall maintain it by keeping the area clean and free of litter and keeping in a healthy state any plant material that is provided. Conditions intended to assure continued maintenance of the open space for the actual lifetime of the building giving rise to the open space requirement may be imposed in accordance with the provisions of Section 309.1 of this Code. (D) Informational Plaque. Prior to issuance of a permit of occupancy, a plaque of no less than 24 inches by 36 inches in size shall be placed in a publicly conspicuous location

outside the building at street level, or at the site of any publicly-accessible open space, identifying said open space feature and its location, stating the right of the public to use the space and the hours of use, describing its principal required features (e.g., number of seats, availability of food service) and stating the name and address of the owner or owner's agent responsible for maintenance. (E) Hold Harmless Requirement. The Zoning Administrator shall have authority to require a property owner to hold harmless the City and County of San Francisco, its officers, agents and employees, from any damage or injury caused by the design, construction or maintenance of open space, and to require the owner or owners or subsequent owner or owners of the property to be solely liable for any damage or loss occasioned by any act or neglect in respect to the design, construction or maintenance of the open space. (3) Lot Coverage. The rear yard requirements of Section 134 of this Code shall not apply. Lot coverage is limited to 80% at all levels containing a dwelling unit or group housing bedroom. The unbuilt portion of the lot shall be open to the sky except for obstructions permitted in yards per Section 136(c) of this Code. Exceptions to the 20% open area may be granted pursuant to the procedures of Section 309 of this Code. (4) Floor Area Ratio. For non-residential uses, the maximum Floor Area Ratio (“FAR”) allowed, except as allowed in this Section 249.33, shall be that described in Section 123(c) of this Code, provided that it shall not be greater than 9:1. For residential uses, there shall be no limits on FAR. The definition of Gross Floor Area shall be that in Section 102 of this Code as of the date of approval of this Section 249.33.

(9) Option for In-Kind Provision of Transportation Sustainability Fee. Notwithstanding the requirements of Planning Code Section 411A et seq., development projects in this District may propose to provide transportation improvements to the City directly. In such a case, the City, at its sole discretion, may enter into an In-Kind Improvements Agreement with the sponsor of such project and issue a fee waiver for the Transportation Sustainability Fee (“TSF”) from the Municipal Transportation Agency Board of Directors (the “MTA” and the “MTA Board,” respectively), subject to the following rules and requirements: (A) Approval criteria. The City shall not enter into an In-Kind Improvements Agreement unless the proposed in-kind improvements meet an identified community need and where they substitute for improvements that could be provided by the TSF Expenditure Program (as described in Section 411A.6). No physical improvement or provision of space otherwise required by the Planning Code or any other City Code shall be eligible for consideration as part of this In-Kind Improvements Agreement. (B) Valuation. The Director of Transportation, in consultation with the Director of Planning, shall determine the appropriate value of the proposed in-kind improvements. For the purposes of calculating the total value, the development project shall provide the Planning Department and MTA with a cost estimate for the proposed in-kind improvement(s) from two independent sources or, if relevant, real estate appraisers.

(C) Content of the In-Kind Improvements Agreement. The In-Kind Improvements Agreement shall include at least the following items: (i) A description of the type and timeline of the proposed in-kind improvements; (ii) The appropriate value of the proposed in-kind improvement, as determined in subsection (2) above; and (iii) The legal remedies in the case of failure by the development project to provide the in-kind improvements according to the specified timeline and terms in the agreement.

Prior to the parties executing the Agreement, the City Attorney must approve the agreement as to form and to substance. The Director of Transportation is authorized to execute the Agreement on behalf of the City. If the MTA Board approves the In-Kind Agreement, it shall waive the amount of the TSF by the value of the proposed In-Kind Improvements Agreement, as determined by the Director of Transportation and the Director of Planning. No credit shall be made for land value unless ownership of the land is transferred to the City or a permanent public easement is granted, the acceptance of which is at the sole discretion of the City. The maximum value of the In-Kind Improvements Agreement shall not exceed the required TSF. (E) Administrative Costs. Development projects that pursue an In-Kind Improvements Agreement will be billed time and materials for any administrative costs that the Planning Department or any other City entity incurs in negotiating, drafting, and monitoring compliance with the In-Kind Improvements Agreement.

(10) Option for Dedication of Land. (A) Development projects in this District may opt to fulfill the Inclusionary Housing requirement of Section 415 through the Land Dedication alternative in Section 419.6. The Land Dedication alternative is available for development projects within the District under the same terms and conditions as provided for in Section 419.5(a)(2), except that in lieu of the Land Dedication Alternative requirements of Table 419.5, projects may satisfy the requirements of Section 415.5 by dedicating land for affordable housing if the dedicated land could accommodate a total amount of units that is equal to or greater than 35% of the units that are being provided on the principal development project site, as determined by the Planning Department. Any dedicated land shall be at least partly located within one mile of the boundaries of either the Market and Octavia Plan Area or the Upper Market NCT District. (B) Notwithstanding the requirements of Section 419.5(a)(2)(H), development projects dedicating land shall obtain the required letter from the Mayor’s Office of Housing and Community Development verifying acceptance of the dedicated land no later than 180 days following Planning Commission or Planning Department approval of the development project. The Director of the Mayor’s Office of Housing and Community Development may waive application of Section 419.5(a)(2)(G). (11) Required Minimum Dwelling Unit Mix. Development projects in this District shall comply with Section 207.6. (12) Active Uses. For purposes of this Section 249.33, Arts Activities and Institutional Community Uses are considered to be “active uses,” as defined in Section 145.4 of this Code. (13) Projects with on-site affordable housing units provided pursuant to a Purchase and Sale Agreement with the City that are in excess of the amount required by Planning Code Section 415 may deviate from the building floor distribution requirements of Section 415.6(f)(1) by up to 15%. (c) In the event of a conflict between the provisions of this Section 249.33 and the provisions of Section 249.81, the 1629 Market Street Special Use District, the provisions of Section 249.81 shall control.

(a) Findings. There are an unusually large number of establishments providing fringe financial services, including check cashing and payday lending, in the neighborhoods included in the Mission Alcoholic Beverage Special Use District, the North of Market Residential Special Use District, the Divisadero Street Alcohol Restricted Use District, the Third Street Alcohol Restricted Use District, and the Haight Street Alcohol Restricted Use Subdistrict. The unchecked proliferation of these businesses has the potential to displace other financial service providers, including charter banks, which offer a much broader range of financial services, as well as other desired commercial development in the City, which provides a broad range of neighborhood commercial goods and services. (b) Establishment of the Fringe Financial Service Restricted Use District. In order to preserve the residential character and the neighborhood-serving commercial uses of the following defined areas, a noncontiguous Fringe Financial Service Restricted Use District (Fringe Financial Service RUD) is hereby established for the following properties: (1) Properties in NC-1 and NCT-3 Districts, in the Broadway (Sec. 714), Castro Street (Sec. 715), Inner Clement Street (Sec. 716), Outer Clement Street (Sec. 717), Cole Valley (Sec. 742), Excelsior Outer Mission Street (Sec. 720), Fillmore Street (Sec. 747), Upper Fillmore Street (Sec. 718), Haight Street (Sec. 719), Lakeside Village (Sec. 727), North Beach (Sec. 722), Pacific Avenue (Sec. 726), Polk Street (Sec. 723), Sacramento Street (Sec. 724), Inner Sunset (Sec. 730), 24th Street – Noe Valley (Sec. 728), Union Street (Sec. 725), and West Portal Avenue (Sec. 729) Neighborhood Commercial Districts, and in the Divisadero Street (Sec. 759), Hayes-Gough (Sec. 761), Mission Street (Sec. 754), 24th Street – Mission (Sec. 763), Upper Market Street (Sec. 764), and Valencia Street (Sec. 762) Neighborhood Commercial Transit Districts; (2) Properties in the Mission Alcoholic Beverage Special Use District, as described in Section 249.60 of this Code and as designated on Sectional Maps SU07 and SU08 of the Zoning Map of the City and County of San Francisco; (3) Properties in the North of Market Residential Special Use District, as described in Section 249.5 of this Code and as designated on Sectional Maps SU01 and SU02 of the Zoning Map of the City and County of San Francisco; (4) Properties in the Haight Street (Section 781.9) and Third Street (Section 782) Alcohol Restricted Use Districts; and (5) Properties in the Chinatown Community Business (CCB) (Section 810), South Park (SPD) (Section 814), and Rincon Hill (RH-DTR) (Section 827) Districts. (c) Restrictions. (1) No new fringe financial services shall be permitted as a principal or accessory use in the Fringe Financial Service RUD. (2) The controls of this Section 249.35 shall also apply within a ¼ mile of the Fringe Financial Service RUD.

(3) Outside of the Fringe Financial Service RUD and its ¼ mile buffer, fringe financial services shall be subject to the zoning controls set forth elsewhere in this Code, provided that, in addition, no new fringe financial service shall be permitted as a principal or accessory use within ¼ mile of an existing fringe financial service. (d) Exemptions. The restrictions set forth in subsection (c) above shall not be interpreted to prohibit the following: (1) A nonprofit fringe financial service; or (2) Any other financial service use that is not a fringe financial service. Accordingly, any applicant for a financial service use shall provide the Planning Department with a true copy of the license issued to it by the State of California, demonstrating that such financial service operates under a license of a type distinct from that issued to a "check casher" as defined in California Civil Code section 1789.31, as amended from time to time; or to a "licensee" as defined in California Financial Code section 23001(d), as amended from time to time. (e) Continuation of Existing Prohibited Fringe Financial Service Uses. Any fringe financial service subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 249.35 may continue in accordance with Planning Code Section 180 through 186.2, subject to the following provisions: (1) A fringe financial service lawfully existing as licensed by the State of California prior to the effective date of this legislation, or subsequent legislation prohibiting that type of fringe financial service, so long as otherwise lawful, may continue to operate only under the following conditions: (A) Except as provided in Subsection 249.35(e)(2) below, the premises shall retain the same type of fringe financial service license within a license classification; and (B) Except as provided in Subsection 249.35(e)(2) below, the fringe financial service shall be operated continuously, without substantial changes in mode or character of operation. (2) A break in continuous operation shall not be interpreted to include the following, provided that, except as indicated below, the location of the establishment does not change, the square footage used does not increase, and the type of state license does not change: (A) A change in ownership of a fringe financial service provider or a lawful transfer of a state license; (B) Temporary closure for restoration or repair of an existing fringe financial service on the same lot after total or partial destruction or damage due to fire, riot, insurrection, toxic accident, or act of God; or (C) Temporary closure of an existing fringe financial service provider for reasons other than total or partial destruction or damage due to fire, riot, insurrection, toxic accident, or act of God for not more than thirty (30) days for repair, renovation, or remodeling. (f) Definitions. The following definitions shall apply to this Section 249.35. (1) "Fringe Financial Service" as defined in Section 102 of this Code. (2) A "nonprofit fringe financial service" shall mean a Fringe Financial Service that is exempted from payment of income tax under Section 23701(d) of the California Revenue and Taxation Code and Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of the United States. Any such nonprofit Fringe Financial Service shall provide the Planning Department with a true copy(ies) of its income tax documentation demonstrating its exemption from payment of income tax under State and Federal Law. (g) The Planning Department shall maintain information regarding the location of existing Fringe Financial Services located outside the Fringe Financial Service Restricted Use District, which information shall be presumed accurate. An applicant for a new Fringe Financial Service use may submit information to the Department to demonstrate that an existing fringe financial service use has closed or is otherwise not located within a one-quarter mile of the location of the proposed new Fringe Financial Service use.

(a) Purpose. In order to provide for the consideration of a neighborhood-serving grocery store of moderate size in a location accessible to the Hayes Valley and Western Addition neighborhoods, there shall be a Fulton Street Grocery Store Special Use District, consisting of Lots 001 and 058 through 198, inclusive of Assessor’s Block 0794, between Laguna and Octavia Streets, as designated on Sectional Map 2SU of the Zoning Map. This Special Use District would enable the consideration of a project containing a grocery store in a district that does not permit such uses. This Special Use District would conditionally permit a grocery store that is a formula retail use, in order to allow consideration of a grocery store that is affordable to the neighborhood. This one-time lift of the ban on formula retail is intended to support an affordable grocery store that is committed to serving and hiring from the neighborhood. According to the U.S. Census Bureau’s 2017 American Community Survey, the median household income in the surrounding neighborhood is $24,041, and over one-third of residents in the neighborhood live below the poverty line. (b) Definition. “Grocery Store” shall mean a retail use that provides fresh produce and other unprepared perishable food products (such as dairy, fish, grains), in addition to other general groceries, personal items, household goods, and similar goods. The term “Grocery Store” includes General Grocery and Specialty Grocery uses. (c) Application. This Special Use District shall apply only to projects that meet all of the following standards: (1) The project is mixed-use, with both commercial and residential uses; (2) Commercial uses include a Grocery Store larger than 15,000 square feet of gross occupied floor area; and (3) Residential uses achieve a density of not less than 1 unit per 600 square feet of lot area. (d) Controls. The following controls apply to projects meeting the criteria of subsection (c) and to any subsequent alterations or changes of use in a building approved under this Section 249.35A. (1) The controls of the Hayes-Gough NCT apply in their entirety, except as specified in this Section. (2) All formula retail uses are prohibited, except for a Grocery Store, which may be permitted as a formula retail use, as defined in Section 303.1, through Conditional Use Authorization pursuant to Section 303.1. Pursuant to the Planning Code, any such formula retail Grocery Store shall be subject to all provisions of Section 303.1, including but not limited to subsection (j) of Section 303.1. (3) Accessory off-street parking shall not be permitted for any commercial use except the Grocery Store. (4) All subsequent changes of use shall require Conditional Use authorization from the Planning Commission. The only Non-Residential Uses that may be permitted in the space initially approved for a Grocery tore1 shall include Trade Shop and Institutional Uses, excluding Medical Cannabis Dispensaries, and Hospitals, except that General Retail Sales and Services, Pharmacy, or General or Specialty Grocery uses may be permitted. (5) In addition to the standard criteria for Conditional Use authorization, as set forth in Sections 303 and, if applicable, 303.1, a project sponsor proposing a Grocery Store shall also present information about the affordability of food for the Commission’s consideration. The Commission shall consider such information, as well as whether the project sponsor can demonstrate that the proposed Grocery Store will accept payment assistance, as set forth below. (A) Acceptance of Payment Assistance. The project sponsor shall describe the proposed Grocery Store’s commitment to accept payment from individuals through assistance programs including but not limited to the United States Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP), the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC), and other similar public assistance programs. (B) Food Affordability Projection. The project sponsor shall prepare a projection of food affordability at the proposed location and submit it for review by the Planning Commission. The projection shall consist of current retail pricing for a sampling of everyday grocery items that represent all categories within the market basket of foods maintained by the USDA’s Center for Nutrition Policy and Promotion for their Official USDA Food Plans. (6) Signs shall be subject to the requirements of Article 6 of this Code, except that allowable business signs for the Grocery Store shall be limited to the following:

(A) Window Signs. The total area of all window signs, as set forth in Section 602.1(b), shall not exceed 10% of the area of the window on or in which the signs are located. Such signs may be non-illuminated. (B) Wall Signs. The total area of all wall signs shall not exceed 40 square feet on the Fulton Street frontage occupied by the use, and 40 square feet on the Laguna Street frontage occupied by the use. The height of any wall sign shall not exceed 24 feet, or the height of the wall to which it is attached, or the height of the lowest of any residential windowsill on the wall to which the sign is attached, whichever is lower. Such signs may be non-illuminated or indirectly illuminated. (C) Projecting Signs. The number of projecting signs shall not exceed one per business. The area of such sign, as set forth in Section 602.1(a), shall not exceed 24 square feet. The height of such sign shall not exceed 24 feet, or the height of the wall to which it is attached, or the height of the lowest of any residential windowsill on the wall to which the sign is attached, whichever is lower. No part of the sign shall project more than 75% of the horizontal distance from the street property line to the curbline, or six feet six inches, whichever is less. Such signs may be non-illuminated or indirectly illuminated. (D) Signs on Awnings and Marquees. Sign copy may be located on permitted awnings or marquees in lieu of wall signs. The area of such sign copy as set forth in Section 602.1(c) shall not exceed 40 square feet on the Fulton Street frontage occupied by the use, and 40 square feet on the Laguna Street frontage occupied by the use. Such sign copy may be non- illuminated or indirectly illuminated. (E) Freestanding Signs and Sign Towers. Freestanding signs or sign towers per lot shall not be permitted. (e) Effectiveness of Controls in this Special Use District. The controls of this Section 249.35A shall apply only to a Grocery Store that the Planning Commission approves pursuant to the requirements of this Section 249.35A within 5 years of the effective date of the ordinance in Board File No. 190839 amending this Section.

(b) Any Office use is permitted, limited to a floor area ratio of 0.25 of gross floor area to 1 square foot of lot area notwithstanding the office use size limitations of the PDR-2 District. In no case shall office use be limited to less than the size allowed in a PDR-2 District as detailed in the District's Zoning Control Table; nor shall it exceed a total of 50,000 square feet of gross floor area per lot. (c) An Office use above the amount permitted in Section 249.35B(b) of this Code is permitted provided that it shall be limited to the following activities: (1) design activities, including but not limited to architectural, graphic, interior, product, and industrial design; (2) Business Service as defined in Section 102 of this Code; (3) ancillary office activities related to internet, telecommunications, electronic networking or data storage service and maintenance; (4) digital media and arts. (d) For all Office use square footage greater than the amount permitted under 249.35B(b), a Notice of Special Restriction shall be executed by the Zoning Administrator and recorded in the Office of the County Recorder, specifying that the office activities are limited to the uses permitted under Planning Code Section 249.35B(c). (e) For all Office use square footage greater than the amount permitted under 249.35B(b) of this Code, each individual business shall be limited to 5,000 square feet of gross floor area.

The required rear yard in the RED-MX District may be reduced by the distance of any provided front setback, as measured from the property line to the main building wall. The front setback shall be measured as the line of greatest depth of any portion of the front building wall that occupies at least 1/2 the width between the side lot lines of the property. However, in no case shall the rear yard be reduced to less than 15 feet. (B) Modification. Only corner lots are eligible for rear yard modifications from the Zoning Administrator pursuant to Sections 134(f), 134(e), and 307(h) of this Code. (2) Open Space. The requirements of Section 135 shall apply except as follows: (A) Publicly Accessible Open Space. Dwelling units within Eastern Neighborhood Mixed Use Districts shall provide 80 square feet per unit of useable open space regardless of whether the open space is privately or publicly accessible. Off-site, publicly accessible open space shall not qualify as required common open space pursuant to Section 135 of this Code. (B) Roof Decks. Roof decks shall not qualify as required private or common useable open space pursuant to Section 135 of this Code. For the purpose of this section, a roof deck

shall be defined as a deck located on the roof of the highest story of a building, or a deck at the highest story of a building if the enclosed gross floor area of that story is less than 50 percent of the gross square footage of the footprint of the subject building.

SRO units, as defined in Section 102 of this Code, shall have a minimum size of 275 gross square feet. (7) Recreation Facilities. The demolition of recreation facilities, as defined in subsection 249.39(c)(7)(A) of this Code, shall be governed by the following: (A) For the purposes of this Section 249.39, a Recreational Facility shall be defined as a publicly- or privately-owned facility of at least 10,000 gross square feet that offers free or fee-based membership to the general public and is used for recreational activities such as ice skating, bowling, swimming, soccer, tennis, racquetball, basketball, softball, baseball, and similar activities. The facility may also include play areas for children and accessory accommodations such as locker rooms and activity rooms. (B) Demolition of an existing recreation facility shall require conditional use authorization from the Planning Commission, pursuant to Section 303 of this Code. In granting such conditional use authorization, the Planning Commission must also find the following: (i) The project sponsor demonstrates that the loss of the recreational facility and the associated services to the neighborhood or to the population of existing users can be met by other recreational facilities that: a. are either existing or proposed as part of the associated project; b. are or will be within the boundaries of the Western SoMa Special Use District; and c. will provide similar facilities, services, and affordability as the recreational facility proposed to be removed. (8) Formula Retail Uses. In addition to existing findings required in Planning Code Section 303.1 for Formula Retail uses requiring Conditional Use authorization in the Western SoMa Special Use District, the Planning Commission shall consider the following criteria. (A) Size. The new formula retail use shall be similar in size to other nearby retail uses. For the purposes of this subsection, “nearby” shall mean all other retail uses on the subject and opposite block face. (B) Clustering. The new formula retail use shall have sufficient separation from other formula retail uses in the area and would thereby avoid clustering. For purposes of this subsection, “sufficient separation” shall mean no more than two formula retail uses on the proposed block face and two formula retail uses on the opposite block face. (C) Design. The new formula retail use should: (i) not be located in a standalone building, have a drive-thru window, or have multiple curb cuts; (ii) be integrated with nonformula uses within the same building or development; (iii) have its primary retail frontage, and provide pedestrian access, from a public sidewalk and not from a parking lot; (iv) provide publicly accessible open space whenever possible. (D) Other. The new formula retail use should participate in formalized local resident job hiring programs. (9) Major Developments Requesting Height Bonuses. (A) Applicability. The controls of this Subsection shall apply to any project that meets all of the following thresholds: (i) The project site is greater than .5 acre; (ii) The project is located within a split height district; (iii) The project proposes a building with a height above its permitted base height; (iv) The project is not located in the SALI District. (B) Controls. The project shall require conditional use authorization from the Planning Commission pursuant to Section 303 of this Code, and shall not require a Large Project Authorization if otherwise required under Section 329, and shall be subject to the following criteria: (i) As a component of such conditional use authorization, the project may seek specific exceptions to the provisions of this Code as provided under Section 329; (ii) The space-efficient parking criteria of Section 151.1(g)(1)(B)(i) shall only apply to parking on the ground floor and above, and shall not apply to parking located below grade in basement levels; (iii) Horizontal mass reductions controls, pursuant to Section 270.1 of this Code, shall not apply; (iv) The project shall demonstrate that it minimizes the impacts of proposed non-residential uses on any adjacent properties in

1(g)(1)(B)(i) shall only apply to parking on the ground floor and above, and shall not apply to parking located below grade in basement levels; (iii) Horizontal mass reductions controls, pursuant to Section 270.1 of this Code, shall not apply; (iv) The project shall demonstrate that it minimizes the impacts of proposed non-residential uses on any adjacent properties in the RED and RED-MX Districts. Specifically, the following potential conflicts shall be addressed: a. Social Interaction. Given the diversity of uses and users in Western SoMa, large developments should appropriately buffer conflicting uses, such as housing and late night uses, and commercial uses and playgrounds. b. Hours of Operation. Hours of operation for commercial uses within the project shall consider their proximity and potential impacts to residential uses within the project and near the development site. c. Site Access. Avoid loading and vehicular entries near pedestrian entries, open space, and high traffic areas, and locations that would disturb other users on the site. d. Environmental Conflicts. Commercial uses that create noise, fumes, and light shall be designed to minimize any impacts on sensitive users of the site. Buildings shall be designed to minimize the impact of wind and shadows on open spaces on the development site and adjacent properties. e. Architectural Design. Locate fenestration, decks, doors, and open spaces to minimize potential on-site conflicts between uses and users (e.g. residential and commercial uses). (v) Projects on development sites of 3 acres or greater are permitted to contain up to 24,999 gross square feet of office use, and up to 24,999 gross square feet of retail use, regardless of the controls of the underlying zoning district. (vi) Projects on development sites greater than .5 acre, but less than 3 acres, shall be subject to the Tier B affordable housing requirements of Section 419.3(b)(2) of this Code.

(a) Purpose. The Potrero Center Mixed-Use Special Use District is intended to facilitate the continued operation of the shopping center located at 2300 16th Street, which is characterized by large formula retail sales and services, while providing an appropriate regulatory scheme for a potential phased mixed-use redevelopment of the shopping center in the future. (b) Geography. The boundaries of the Potrero Center Mixed-Use Special Use District shall consist of Assessor's Block 3930A, Lot 002 as designated on the Zoning Map of the City and County of San Francisco and generally bound by Bryant Street to the west, 16th Street to the south, Potrero Avenue to the east, and Assessor's Blocks 3931A, 3921A and 3922A to the north. (c) Controls. All provisions of the Planning Code shall continue to apply, except for the following: (1) Floor Area Ratio. The maximum floor area ratio (FAR) set forth in Section 124 shall not apply to Retail Sales and Services uses or to Gym uses. The maximum FAR for Retail Sales and Service uses and Gym uses shall not exceed 3.0:1. (2) Use Size Limitations for Retail Sales and Services and Gyms. The use size limitations and ratio requirements applicable to Retail Sales and Service uses and Gym uses of Sections 121.6(a), 803.9(g), 843.45 and 843.51 shall not apply. Retail Sales and Service uses and Gym uses are principally permitted, and the replacement of one such use or tenant by another such use or tenant in an existing store or gym, regardless of its size, is permitted. Newly constructed space for Retail Sales and Service uses or Gym uses larger than 25,000 gross square feet per use or the expansion of an existing Retail Sales and Services use or Gym use by more than 25,000 new gross square feet per use shall require conditional use authorization pursuant to the provisions of Section 303. (3) Formula Retail. The Formula Retail requirements of Sections 303.1 and 843.46 shall not apply. Formula Retail uses shall be permitted, unless the use is otherwise prohibited or requires conditional use authorization pursuant to other subsections of Section 843. (4) Housing Requirements. The Potrero Center is one of the largest properties in the UMU zoning district that provides a unique opportunity for a mixed-use project with the provision of a significant amount of affordable housing, through either on-site inclusionary units, a dedication of a portion of the land or the air rights of the property to the City. This would enable the City (or another affordable housing developer) to develop affordable housing on such dedicated portion or provide for a combination of both on-site inclusionary housing and land dedication. The City supports such affordable housing production in this location, rather than in an off-site location or locations. The provisions of Table 419.5 shall be modified to increase the off-site affordable unit election and in lieu fee election requirements from 27 percent to 30 percent of the total number of units produced in the principal project. The findings of Section Section1 419.5(a)(2) concerning the provision of affordable housing are incorporated herein by reference. (5) Land Dedication Election. The Land Dedication Alternative for the provision of inclusionary housing units specified in Section 419.5(a)(2) may be satisfied incrementally over time in the event that portions of the SUD are redeveloped in phases and may be satisfied through the dedication to the City of air space parcels above or adjacent to retail, parking or other uses, as well as through dedications of land, upon the approval of the Mayor’s Office of Housing or a successor entity, and provided the requirements of Section 419.5(a)(2) are otherwise satisfied.

DISTRICT. In order to provide for affordable rental opportunities for very low and lower income households, there shall be a Third Street and Le Conte Avenue Affordable Housing Special Use District at 6600 Third Street located at the northeast corner of the block bounded by Le Conte Avenue, Third Street and Keith Street, consisting of Lot 9 of Assessor's Block 5476, as designated on Sectional Map SU10 of the Zoning Map. The following provisions shall apply within such special use district: (a) Any developer of housing who agrees to construct all of the units of a housing development for very low income or lower income households shall be entitled to a density bonus to permit the construction of residential units in excess of the number otherwise permitted for the subject property. (b) For purposes of this Section, the following definitions shall apply: (1) "Density bonus" shall mean a density increase of at least 2.3 times the otherwise maximum allowable residential density under the applicable RM-1 zoning ordinance (one unit per 800 square feet of lot area), which is equivalent to an additional 40 units over the currently permitted 33 units. (2) "Designated unit" shall mean a housing unit identified and reported by the developer of a housing development as a unit that is affordable to households of very low or lower income. (3) "Housing development" shall mean five or more dwelling units. (4) "Lower income households" shall mean a household composed of one or more persons with a combined annual net income for all adult members which does not exceed the qualifying limit for a lower income family of a size equivalent to the number of persons residing in such household, as set forth for the County of San Francisco in Title 25 of the California Code of Regulations Section 6932. (5) "Very low income households" shall mean a household composed of one or more persons with a combined annual net income for all adult members which does not exceed the qualifying limit for a very low income family of a size equivalent to the number of persons residing in such household, as set forth for the County of San Francisco in Title 25 of the California Code of Regulations Section 6932. (c) In this special use district all of the provisions of this Code applicable to residential development in an RM-1 Zoning District shall continue to apply, except as specifically provided in Subsection (d). (d) In this special use district a modification to, or exception from, otherwise applicable requirements of this Code may be appropriate in order to further the critical goal of creating affordable housing. A planned unit development approval for a housing development subject to this Section may grant the density bonus and the following modifications and exceptions to the requirements of this Code if the facts presented are such as to establish that the modification or exception satisfies the criteria of Section 304(d) of this Code. The following modifications to or exceptions from the requirements of this Code are appropriate in order to further the goal of creating affordable housing. (1) A modification of or exception to the off-street parking requirements of Section 151.1 of this Code to allow a reduction in the number of required parking spaces to 21 spaces; and;

(2) A modification of or exception to the rear yard requirements of Section 134 of this Code; and (3) A modification of the height measurement point to allow the building height to be measured from the mid-point of the Third Street frontage. (e) In evaluating a planned unit development use application to grant the density bonus and modifications to or exceptions from the Planning Code under this Section, the Planning Commission shall consider the extent to which the dwelling units of a proposed housing development would be affordable. (f) In the event that a building or site permit for the units as described in Subsection (a) has not been issued by December 31, 2014, the controls of this Section 249.43 shall expire on January 1, 2015.

(a) General. A Special Use District entitled the Hunters View Special Use District is hereby established for the Hunters View Housing Authority site within the City and County of San Francisco. (b) Purpose. The San Francisco Housing Authority, in partnership with the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency, proposes to demolish the existing public housing on the Hunters View site and to develop a mixture of public housing, affordable rental and ownership housing, and market-rate housing to replace it. It is anticipated that the project will be developed in multiple phases. Proceeds from the sale of the market rate units will be used to cross-collateralize the construction of the public housing and rental units. In order to achieve a successful program, the density of the Hunters View site will be increased from 267 units to up to 800 units. Due to the difficult topography of the site, such density cannot be achieved without an increase in the density limit for the site. Similarly, because of the desire to integrate key non-residential supportive uses, allowances for some non-residential uses will be necessary. (c) Density. The Planning Department may approve individual phases of a project within the Hunters View Special Use District at a density that exceeds the limitations of the underlying use district if: (i) the subject phase of the project was contemplated by and authorized as part of a planned unit development for the site authorized by the Planning Commission under Section 304 of this Code; and (ii) the subject phase of the project is in general conformity with any Design for Development or other design guidelines approved by the Planning Commission as part of the planned unit development. (d) Uses. Notwithstanding any restrictions on uses in the underlying zoning applicable to the Hunters View Special Use District, or that are set forth in Planning Code Section 304, 304(d)(5), or other sections of this Code, uses that are either principally or conditionally permitted within an NC-1 District are principally permitted within the Hunters View Special Use District if the criteria set forth in subsection (c) above are met. For purposes of this section, a project phase may include subdivisions and the establishment of new uses through tenant improvements. (Added by Ord. 201-08, File No. 080692, App. 8/22/2008) Editor's Note: This section originally was designated 249.39 when enacted by Ord. 201-08. The section was redesignated at the request of the City in order to avoid conflicting with previously existing material.

A Special Use District entitled the "Visitacion Valley/Schlage Lock Special Use District" is hereby established for a portion of the Visitacion Valley neighborhood and the Schlage Lock site within the City and County of San Francisco, the boundaries of which are designated on Sectional Map SU10 of the Zoning Maps of the City and County of San Francisco, and which includes properties generally fronting Bayshore Boulevard between Tunnel Avenue in the north and the San Francisco/San Mateo County line in the south, and properties fronting Leland Avenue between Bayshore Boulevard and Cora Street. The following provisions shall apply within the Special Use District: (a) Purpose. This Special Use District is intended to facilitate the conversion of the vacant Schlage Lock site into a vibrant, transit-oriented mixed use development which will be a model of sustainability and to provide for infill development on vacant and underdeveloped properties along Bayshore Boulevard and Leland Avenue. The Special Use District includes two zones - Zone 1 and Zone 2, as defined below. Within Zone 1, an increase of height and allowable density via form-based development controls will be required in order to achieve sufficient densities to support a transit-oriented development, to support certain neighborhood-commercial uses such as a moderate-sized supermarket, and to achieve the community's goals for a vibrant, well-designed model of sustainability. Within both Zones 1 and 2, in order to achieve a successful program, additional design guidelines will be required. Therefore, the Visitacion Valley/Schlage Lock Design for Development and the Open Space and Streetscape Master Plan, both as adopted by the Planning Commission and periodically amended as provided herein, were developed to provide the specific Development Controls and Design Guidelines which, in cooperation with underlying San Francisco Planning Code requirements and the requirements of this Special Use District, will regulate development within the Special Use District and guide it towards the goals described above. A Development Agreement, approved by the Board of Supervisors in Ordinance No. 149-14 , applies to Zone 1 of this Special Use District. (b) Definitions. "Development Agreement" shall mean the Development Agreement By and Between the City and County of San Francisco and Visitacion Development LLC, a Subsidiary of the Universal Paragon Corporation Relative to the Development Known as The Schlage Lock Development Project, approved by the Board of Supervisors in Ordinance No. 149-14 . "Old Office Building" shall mean the existing historic building at the northern corner of Zone 1 and located at 2201 Bayshore Boulevard. "Open Space and Streetscape Master Plan" shall mean the document adopted by the Planning Commission in Resolution No. 19163, approved by the Board of Supervisors as part of this Special Use District, and found in Clerk of the Board File No. 140445, and as may be amended from time to time. The Open Space and Streetscape Master Plan is herein incorporated by reference. "Visitacion Valley/Schlage Lock Design for Development" or "Design for Development" shall mean the document adopted by the Planning Commission in Resolution No. 19163, approved by the Board of Supervisors as part of this Special Use District, and found in Clerk of the Board File No. 140445, and as may be amended from time to time. The Design for Development is herein incorporated by reference. "Zone 1" shall have the meaning set forth in the Design for Development, and shall generally mean the Schlage Lock industrial site, located at the southern border of San Francisco where Bayshore Boulevard converges with Tunnel Avenue. "Zone 2" shall have the meaning set forth in the Design for Development, and shall generally mean the segments of Bayshore Boulevard and Leland Avenue adjacent to the Schlage Lock site. (c) Controls Generally. Development in the Special Use District shall be regulated by the controls contained in the Design for Development, as adopted by the Planning Commission and periodically amended, the controls specifically enumerated in this Section 249.45, and the Planning Code, to the extent such controls do not conflict with the Development Agreement. Where not explicitly superseded by definitions or controls established in the Design for Development or this Section 249.45, the definitions and controls of the Planning Code shall apply. All procedures and requirements of Article 3 shall apply to this Special Use District to the extent that they are not in conflict with this Section or the Development Agreement. The Planning Commission may amend the Design for Development or the Open Space and Streetscape Master Plan upon initiation by the Planning Department or upon application by an owner of property within the Special Use District (or his or her authorized agent) to the extent that such amendments are consistent with this Special Use District, the General Plan, and the approved Development Agreement.

(d) Controls in Zone 2. Development in Zone 2 of the Special Use District shall be regulated by the relevant requirements of the Planning Code and shall generally conform to the Design Guidelines contained within the Design for Development. The Design Controls of the Design for Development shall not apply to development in Zone 2. (e) Controls in Zone 1. Development in Zone 1 of the Special Use District shall be regulated by the controls contained in this Section 249.45(e) and the Design for Development. Where not explicitly superseded by definitions and controls established in this Section 249.45(e) or the Design for Development, the definitions and controls in this Planning Code shall apply except where those controls conflict with the Development Agreement. The following shall apply only in Zone 1 of the Special Use District: (1) Impact Fees. Although the Mixed Use-General District (MUG) zoning designation is used in Zone 1, the Special Use District is located outside of the Eastern Neighborhoods Plan Area and therefore the Eastern Neighborhoods Impact Fees and Public Benefits Fund requirements set forth in Section 423 shall not apply. (2) Use Requirements. (A) Permitted and Conditional Uses. Uses are defined as set forth in Article 8 of this Code unless otherwise specified in this Section 249.45. Except as specifically set forth below, all uses principally permitted in the MUG are principally permitted and all uses requiring a conditional use approval in the MUG shall require a conditional use approval.

Formula Retail uses as defined in Section 303.1, except those uses set forth in subsection (e)(2)(C) below, shall be principally permitted subject to the following requirements: (i) Within 21 days of the filing of a building permit application for formula retail use and the determination by the Planning Department that the application is complete for the purposes of its review and complies with all relevant Planning Code provisions, including this Special Use District and the Design for Development, notice shall be mailed to owners and occupants within 300 feet of the subject property, anyone who has requested a block book notation, and the relevant neighborhood group list for Visitacion Valley for a 30-day public review and comment period. This notice shall comply with the noticing requirements of Section 312. During this public review period, members of the public may request a project sponsor-hosted public meeting to be held on or proximate to the proposed project site. Such a meeting is only required if at least two members of the public submit such a request in writing to the Planning Department. If such a meeting is required, it shall take place after the close of the public review period and prior to any decision by the Planning Director, or the Planning Commission if required, to approve such an application. A representative from the Planning Department shall attend any such meeting. Documentation that the meeting took place shall be submitted to the Planning Department consistent with the Department's pre-application meeting proof of meeting requirements and shall be kept with the project file. The Planning Director, or Planning Commission if required, shall not approve a formula retail project prior to any such required meeting. (ii) The Planning Director shall retain the discretion to disapprove a proposed formula retail use, with the exception of those uses set forth in section (iii) below, based on but not limited to the following considerations: the concentration of formula retail uses in the area; the demand for the proposed goods or services; and the use mix and other uses within 1/4 mile of the proposed use. (iii) Grocery stores, pharmacies, and financial services, except fringe financial services, shall be exempted from sections (i) and (ii) above. (C) Prohibited Uses. The following uses shall be prohibited within this Special Use District: (i) Auto repair services; (ii) Office, except in existing buildings or as an accessory use to other permitted uses.

(D) Temporary Uses. A temporary use may be authorized by the Planning Director for a period not to exceed 4 years if the Director finds that such use: (i) will not impede orderly development within the Special Use District; (ii) is consistent with this Special Use District, the Design for Development, Open Space and Streetscape Master Plan, and Development Agreement; and (iii) would not pose a nuisance to surrounding residential uses. In addition to those uses set forth in Section 205, such interim uses may include but are not limited to: mobile or temporary retail or food/beverage services; farmers' markets; arts or concert uses; temporary parking; and rental or sales offices incidental to new development. An authorization granted pursuant to this section shall not exempt the applicant from obtaining any other permit required by law. Additional time for such uses may be authorized only by action upon a new application. (3) Density of Dwelling Units. Dwelling unit density shall be gov

markets; arts or concert uses; temporary parking; and rental or sales offices incidental to new development.

Height of a building or structure shall be defined, measured, and regulated as provided for in Sections 102 and 260 where applicable, and as below in the following scenarios: (i) Where the lot is level with or slopes downward from a street at the centerline of the building or building step, the measurement point shall be taken at the back of sidewalk level on such a street. The plane determined by the vertical distance at such point may be considered the height limit at the opposite (lower) end of the lot, provided the change in grade does not enable an additional story of development at the downhill property line. This takes precedence over Section 260(a)(1)(B). (ii) Where the change in grade does enable an additional floor of development, height must be measured from the opposite (lower) end of the lot. (iii) Where there is conflict with Section 102 or Section 260 of the Code, the requirements of this Special Use District shall apply. (iv) In addition to the exceptions listed in Section 260(b), the following shall also be exempt from the height limits: (aa) Architectural elements related to design of rooftop open space, such as open air roof terraces, which shall not be enclosed, but may include partial perimeter walls if required for safety. (bb) The corner portion of occupied space on the northeastern corner of Leland Avenue and Bayshore Boulevard may extend up to ten feet above the maximum height, provided: its dimension along each facade is no greater than the distance to the facade's nearest massing break or facade design feature used to reduce the building's visual scale on the floor below (see Design for Development, Massing Guideline 2); and it is part of a common, private open space consistent with Design Guideline 4 in the Private Open Space section of the Design for Development or is designed as a solarium per Section 134(f)(4).

An authorization granted pursuant to this section shall not exempt the applicant from obtaining any other permit required by law. Additional time for such uses may be authorized only by action upon a new application. (4) Interim Uses. An interim use listed in this section may be authorized by the Executive Director (for uses located within the Tidelands Trust Overlay Zone) or Planning Director (for uses located outside the Tidelands Trust Overlay Zone) without a public hearing for a period not to exceed 5 years if the applicable Director finds that such use will not impede orderly development within this Special Use District consistent with the Design for Development and Development Agreement; provided, however, that any interim use listed in this section that is integral to development contemplated by the Development Agreement or any other disposition and development agreement with TIDA, as determined by the applicable Director, shall be permitted without requiring such authorization. Interim uses within the Tidelands Trust Overlay Zone are subject to review by the Executive Director for compliance with the Tidelands Trust and TIDA policies. Such interim uses include: rental or sales offices incidental to new development; structures and uses incidental to environmental clean-up, demolition and construction pursuant to an approved Major Phase of Development; storage; automobile and truck parking and loading related to the construction activities related to Horizontal Development and Vertical Development. An authorization granted pursuant to this section shall not exempt the applicant from obtaining any other permit required by law. Additional time for such uses may be authorized only by action upon a new application. (5) Non-Conforming Uses. TIDA shall provide for the reasonable continuance, modification and/or termination of uses and structures existing as of the date of adoption of the Special Use District and Design for Development that do not comply with the Special Use District or the Design for Development, provided that such use or structure is generally compatible with the development and uses authorized under the Special Use District and Design for Development. The Executive Director (for property located within the Tidelands Trust Overlay Zone), or the Planning Director (for property not located within the Tidelands Trust Overlay Zone) may authorize additions, alterations, reconstruction, rehabilitation, reuse of vacant buildings or changes in use of land or buildings for uses that do not conform to the Special Use District, subject to a determination that such authorization would not impede the orderly development of the area subject to this Special Use District. (6) Building Standards. (A) Building Height. The applicable height limits for this Special Use District shall be as set forth on Sectional Map HT14 of the Zoning Maps of the City and County of San

Francisco. As more particularly described on Section Map HT14, underlying height zones range from 25 feet to 125 feet on Treasure Island and 35 feet to 75 feet on Yerba Buena Island. "Flex Height Zones" have been established on Treasure Island to allow for the flexibility in locating tall buildings within the overall built form of the island, and range from 240 feet to 450 feet. The Flex Height Zones allow for a variety of building types to be built up to the indicated maximum height for their zone as long as they conform to the relevant applicable Standards for Bulk, Massing and Tower Separation as described herein, and Figure 6, Bulk and Massing Controls Matrix. The location of tall buildings in relation to each other and to the lower buildings is controlled by the

eet. The Flex Height Zones allow for a variety of building types to be built up to the indicated maximum height for their zone as long as they conform to the relevant applicable Standards for Bulk, Massing and Tower Separation as described herein, and Figure 6, Bulk and Massing Controls Matrix. The location of tall buildings in relation to each other and to the lower buildings is controlled by the building separation requirements set forth in subsection (e)(6)(B), Tower Separation, below. Height shall be measured and regulated as provided in the Design for Development and not as provided in Article 2.5. (B) Tower Separation.

(i) Portions of buildings taller than 125 feet located within a Flex Height Zone that are taller than the underlying height zone shall maintain a minimum distance of 115 feet clear from any portion of another building taller than its underlying height zone. This distance is to be measured by a 115 feet circular offset from the inscribed building perimeter at its outermost points on all levels above the underlying height zone, as shown on Figure 4. The requirements of this subsection shall not apply to buildings located on blocks C1, C2-B, C2-H and M1, as identified on Figure 1. Figure 4: Tower Separation (ii) Buildings located within a Flex Height Zone that are located on blocks IC1, IC2, IC3 and IC4 and E1, E2, E3, E4, E5, E6, E7 and E8, as identified on Figure 1, shall maintain a clear corridor extending a minimum distance of 500 feet perpendicularly to any other building taller than 85 feet, as shown on Figure 5. The corridors shall be aligned orthogonally, perpendicularly and parallel to the north-south avenues, and extend from the buildings' furthermost points regardless of orientation. The requirements of this subsection shall not apply to buildings located on blocks B1, B2, B3 and M1, as identified on Figure 1. Figure 5: Corridors (C) Building Bulk. With respect to development on Treasure Island, the applicable bulk limitations shall be as set forth on Figure 6. With respect to development on Yerba Buena Island, the following requirements shall apply: (i) buildings extending more than 35 feet above grade shall, above the third floor, step back a minimum distance of 10 feet horizontal for every 10 feet vertical; (ii) buildings fronting on the downhill edge of a street or Drive Court where buildings on the uphill side are allowed shall have a maximum height of 25 feet, however for no more than 50% of the width of a residential townhouse unit or lot, but in no instance more than 18-feet increments, the maximum height may be increased to 35 feet; (iii) the height extension referenced in (ii) may not be joined to a similar extension or an adjoining unit or lot and must be configured in a manner that allows potential views from an adjacent uphill unit or lot both over and through the subject unit or lot; (iv) buildings shall be no longer than 150 feet in length, and the maximum plan dimension of a building or structure shall be the greatest plan dimension parallel to the long axis of the building at a given level; (v) the maximum apparent face or elevation length shall be 75 feet; (vi) Mid-rise Buildings on block 4Y (as identified on Figure 1) shall be subject to additional bulk and massing requirements set forth in Section Y4.5.5 of the Design for Development; and (vii) on blocks 1Y, 2Y, 3Y and 4Y, a minimum of 1 cross stairway running perpendicular to the topographical contours of the land and no closer than 150 feet from either end of the parcel (measured parallel to the topographical contours) shall be required and integrated into the Island-wide pedestrian trail system. Figure 6: Treasure Island Bulk and Massing

(D) Building Setbacks. The applicable building setback requirements for this Special Use District shall be as set forth on Figures 7 and 8. Figure 7: Treasure Island Required Setbacks Figure 8: Yerba Buena Island Required Setbacks

(7) Off-Street Automobile Parking. Off-street parking shall not be required for any use, and may be provided in quantities up to the maximum number of spaces specified in Figures 9 and 10. Compliance with the off-street parking standards specified in Figures 9 and 10 shall be determined in accordance with subsection (g)(4)(D)(iv) below, and further provided that no application for Vertical Development that includes off-street automobile parking shall be accepted as complete unless TIDA has authorized submittal of the application and certified that the proposed amount of parking complies with the Island-wide parking maximums.

Except for projects seeking one or more Major Modifications, the Planning Director shall approve, conditionally approve or disapprove a project's Schematic Design Documents, including any Minor Modifications sought, without a hearing based on its compliance with this Special Use District and the Standards set forth in the Design for Development. If the project is consistent with the quantitative Standards set forth in this Special Use District and the Design for Development, the Planning Director's discretion to approve, conditionally approve, or disapprove the project shall be limited to the project's consistency with the qualitative Standards and Guidelines of the Design for Development and the General Plan. The Planning Director may not impose any condition of approval that conflicts with the Development Requirements (as such term is defined in the Development Agreement). Upon approval, the Planning Director shall assign to each approved assessor's block and/or lot the applicable zoning designation and height and bulk classification. The Planning Director shall, promptly, mail notice of his or her determination to the applicant, TIDA, and owners of real property within 300 feet of all exterior boundaries of the project area, using for this purpose the names and addresses as shown on the citywide assessment roll in the Office of the Tax Collector, and any other person who has requested notice. (D) Modifications to Standards. Modification of the Standards set forth in this Special Use District and contained in the Design for Development may be approved on a project-by- project basis as follows: (i) No Modifications. No modifications or variances are permitted for the following Standards in this Special Use District: district-wide maximum off-street auto parking ratios, and height limits. (ii) Major Modifications. A Major Modification shall be (i) any deviation of more than 10% from any quantitative Standard in this Special Use District or the Design for Development or (ii) any modification of the maximum building floor plates. A major modification may be approved only by the Planning Commission at a public hearing, and the Planning Commission’s review at such hearing shall be limited to the Major Modification. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 249.52, the Planning Director may refer

n this Special Use District or the Design for Development or (ii) any modification of the maximum building floor plates. A major modification may be approved only by the Planning Commission at a public hearing, and the Planning Commission’s review at such hearing shall be limited to the Major Modification. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 249.52, the Planning Director may refer a proposed modification, even if not otherwise classified as a Major Modification, to the Planning Commission as a Major Modification if the Planning Director determines that the proposed modification does not meet the intent of the Standards set forth in the Design for Development. The Planning Commission may not impose conditions of approval that conflict with the Development Requirements (as such term is defined in the Development Agreement). (iii) Minor Modifications. a. Any modification to the building standards of this Special Use District and contained in the Design for Development not considered a Major Modification pursuant to subsection (ii) above shall be deemed to be a Minor Modification. Except as permitted in accordance with subsection (ii) above, a Minor Modification is not subject to review by the Planning Commission. b. In addition to the Minor Modifications of 10% or less from any quantitative Standard in this SUD or the Design for Development, the Planning Director may also grant a deviation from the building standards in this SUD or the Design for Development to the extent necessary to reconcile any inconsistency between the provisions of the SUD, the Design for Development, the Development Agreement or any attachment thereto (including but not limited to the Infrastructure Plan referenced in the Development Agreement), or to comply with the requirements or specifications imposed by any agency with jurisdiction over all or a portion of the Project, in a manner that advances the intent of the SUD, Design for Development, or the Development Agreement (including the agreements and plans referenced in the Development Agreement that the parties must comply with), or is minor or incidental. c. The Planning Director may grant any other deviations from the building standards in this SUD or the Design for Development to the extent necessary to address Changing Building Technologies or Unforeseen Site Circumstances, as defined herein, or, at the Director’s election, may request Planning Commission review of any such request for a deviation, provided the Director or the Planning Commission (as applicable) in granting such deviation, makes findings that the granting of such deviation: 1. is necessary or desirable to avoid a hardship of complying with the text of this SUD and/or the Design for Development because of an Unforeseen Site Circumstance or to Changing Building Technologies; and 2. the deviation will not result in a building of greater total gross floor area than would be permitted if the minor deviations were not otherwise granted and is generally consistent with urban form anticipated by the SUD and the Design for Development; and 3. will not be materially detrimental to the public welfare or materially injurious to the property or improvements in the vicinity; and 4. such deviation will be consistent with the General Plan and in harmony with the general purpose and intent of the SUD and the Design for Development. d. For the purposes of this SUD and the Design for Development, “Changing Building Technologies” shall mean new generally prevailing and market standard building and engineering technologies, features, means, methods or materials (collectively, “Technologies”). e. For purposes of this SUD and the Design for Development, “Unforeseen Site Circumstances” shall mean unanticipated circumstances related to site conditions, such as topography, grading, geological features, final infrastructure configurations, or soil conditions. (iv) Off-Street Parking. A project that exceeds applicable parking ratios on a project-level basis shall not be considered a Major Modification, Minor Modification or otherwise inconsistent with the Special Use District or the Design for Development, subject to the further limitations of this Section (iv). Except as further provided herein, no new off-street parking may be approved by Planning or TIDA at the following increments of development that would cause the aggregate parking ratio in the Special Use District to cumulatively exceed the applicable ratios, including both built and entitled but-not-yet-built Vertical Development: every 2,000 net new housing units and every 100,000 gross square feet of non-residential uses in new or rehabilitated buildings (each residential and non-residential threshold, a "Development Increment"). Notwithstanding the foregoing, for the first two Development Increments, a deviation of up to 10% shall be permitted and not be considered a Major Modification, Minor Modification or otherwise inconsistent with the Special Use District or the Design for Development. No exceedance of the parking ratios applicable to any Development Increment after the first two residential and non-residential Development Increments shall be permitted. The Development Increments shall commence as of the effective date of this ordinance and shall not include interim or temporary uses as defined in this Special Use District. (E) Public Hearing for Large Projects.

CODIFICATION NOTE

1. So in Ord. 94-24.

(a) Establishment of Special Use District. The Presidio-Sutter Special Use District is hereby established to facilitate the development of a mixed-use community project on an underutilized site ("project"). The site is located at 800 Presidio at the southeast corner of the block bounded by Presidio Avenue, Sutter Street, Lyon Street, and Post Street and consists of Lot 13 of Assessor's Block 1073, as designated on Sectional Map SU10 of the Zoning Map of the City and County of San Francisco. (b) Purpose. The purpose of the Special Use District is to allow a project that will provide affordable rental housing opportunities for very low and lower income households and include a modern, state of the art community center that provides a variety of youth and other services to the Western Addition and the broader San Francisco community. To achieve this purpose, the project will:

(1) Include affordable rental housing, thus furthering the City's policy that new housing, especially permanent affordable housing, be provided in appropriate locations which meets identified housing needs; (2) Designate up to 50 percent of the affordable units for transitional age youths between the ages of 18 and 24; (3) Have density and height bonuses for the affordable housing component of the project that are consistent with and will promote State policies and laws that encourage the construction of affordable housing; (4) Include a state-of-the-art community center that will provide educational, cultural, social and recreational services to both the Western Addition and the larger San Francisco community in a multicultural, nurturing, and supportive environment where individuals and community groups feel welcome; (5) Provide youth services that will fulfill an acute need existing in the Western Addition community that could direct young peoples' energies toward activities that can facilitate these young people becoming independent, successful adults; and To address the educational, academic, social and/or recreational needs and interests of youth in the Western Addition, the community center could provide programs that include an award winning media youth radio program, a research library, an archive to develop scholarship programs, a computer center to provide computer training, an early childhood development center, an after-school program, organized sports, a mentoring program, youth leadership development, and other youth activities. The community center may also provide senior and other adult services. (c) Definitions. For purposes of this Section, the following definitions shall apply: (1) "Density bonus" shall mean a density increase of no more than 0.5 times the otherwise maximum allowable residential density pursuant to a Planned Unit Development application in a RM-1 zoning district (one unit per 600 square feet of lot area minus one), which is equivalent to an additional 18 units over the currently permitted 36 units. (2) "Designated unit" shall mean a housing unit identified and reported by the developer of a housing development as a unit that is affordable to households of very low or lower income. (3) "Housing development" shall mean five or more dwelling units. (4) "Lower income households" shall mean a household composed of one or more persons with a combined annual net income for all adult members which does not exceed the qualifying limit for a lower income family of a size equivalent to the number of persons residing in such household, as set forth for the County of San Francisco in Title 25 of the California Code of Regulations Section 6932. (5) "Very low income households" shall mean a household composed of one or more persons with a combined annual net income for all adult members which does not exceed the qualifying limit for a very low income family of a size equivalent to the number of persons residing in such household, as set forth for the County of San Francisco in Title 25 of the California Code of Regulations Section 6932. (d) Planned Unit Development. In this special use district, a modification to, or exception from, otherwise applicable requirements of this Code may be appropriate in order to further the critical goal of creating affordable housing. A Planned Unit Development approval for a housing development subject to this Section may grant the height bonus, density bonus, and a modification or exception to the requirements of this Code if the facts presented are such as to establish that the modification or exception satisfies the criteria of Section 304(d) of this Code. (e) Controls. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Code, the following controls shall govern the uses in the Presidio-Sutter Special Use District. (1) In this special use district all of the provisions of this Code applicable to residential development in an RM-1 Zoning District shall continue to apply, except as specifically provided in Subsections (A) and (B) below. The following modifications to or exceptions from the requirements of this Code are appropriate in order to further the goal of creating affordable housing. (A) Height and Bulk. The applicable Height and Bulk for the Presidio-Sutter Special Use District shall be 40-X to 55-X. The Planning Commission may approve a height increase above 40' only for an affordable housing development or a mixed-use development with an affordable housing component. (B) Dwelling Unit Density Bonus. A density bonus beyond that allowed conditionally under this Code may be approved by the Planning Commission only if more than 60 percent of the units in the housing development or the housing component of a mixed-use project will be permanently affordable to very low and lower income households. In considering the height increase and bonus density, the Planning Commission shall consider the extent to which the dwelling units of a proposed housing development would be affordable. The maximum height increase and density bonus allowed under a Planned Unit Development may be granted only if 100 percent of the units of the housing development component, except for the manager's unit, are rental units permanently affordable to very low income or lower income households. (Added by Ord. 137-11, File No. 110658, App. 6/29/2011, Eff. 7/29/2011)

(a) General. A Special Use District entitled the Executive Park Special Use District is hereby established for Assessor's Block 4991, Lots 024, 061, 065, 074, 075, 078, 085 and 086 and Assessor's Block 5076, Lots 012 and 013, generally bounded by Harney Way on the south, Highway 101 on the west, Executive Park Boulevard North on the north and Executive Park Boulevard East on the east, and is set forth in Sectional Map No. SU10 of the Zoning Map of the City and County of San Francisco. (b) Purpose. The purpose of the Executive Park Special Use District (SUD) is to accommodate and encourage medium to high density, mixed-use, predominately residential development at the location of an existing office park. The new mixed-use development is envisioned to tie together the new development with existing and approved residential development north and east of the SUD, along with long-established neighborhoods to the west. The SUD provides controls tailored to Executive Park's unique circumstances: the existing area does not feature a fine-grained street and block pattern typical of San Francisco residential development adequate to serve the access, circulation and open space needs of the envisioned urban residential and mixed use neighborhood. Also, some portions of the area may become part of dedicated public right-of-way as a result of the anticipated future widening of Harney Way and redesign of on-ramps and off-ramps to Highway 101 at Alana Way and Harney Way. The SUD anticipates a new mixed-use, predominately residential neighborhood, with a fine-grained block and street pattern and new open space, and provides for the transfer of buildable density from portions of the area that may become part of dedicated public right- of-way to other parts of the area, among other provisions. (c) Controls. The Planning Code provisions for the underlying use district shall control except as provided below. (1) Executive Park Design Guidelines. In addition to the Planning Code provisions, developments in the SUD shall comply with the Executive Park Subarea Plan of the Bayview Hunters Point Area Plan of the General Plan, approved by the Board of Supervisors by Ordinance No. 143-11, on file with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors in File No. 110624 and the Executive Park Design Guidelines as established by Planning Commission Resolution 18352, on file with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors in File No. 110626 and incorporated into this Section by this reference. The Executive Park Design Guidelines also are on file with the Planning Department in File No. 2006.0422EMUTZ. (2) Uses. (A) Retail Sales and Service Uses as defined in Planning Code Section 102 are principally permitted at street level throughout the SUD when individual establishments are less than 10,000 square feet of gross floor area. Retail establishments equal to or greater than 10,000 square feet of gross floor area require Permit Design Review under Section 309.2 of this Code. Tenant spaces that are expanded to be 10,000 square feet or greater after initial approval will require addition review under Section 309.2. (B) Ground floor retail is required at the two southern corners of the intersection of Executive Park Boulevard North and Thomas Mellon Circle. (Portions of Block 4991, Lots 085 and 086). For each corner, retail frontage is required for a minimum of 100 feet along Executive Park Boulevard North and 50 feet along Thomas Mellon Circle. (C) Child-Care facilities as defined in Section 102 of this Code are principally permitted. (D) Community Facilities and Private Community Facilities as defined in Section 102 of this Code are principally permitted. (E) Non-accessory parking is not permitted. (3) Required Residential to Non-Residential Use Ratio. Non-residential uses are limited to one occupiable square foot for every six occupiable square feet of residential use. (4) Density Transfer.

(A) In accordance with the provisions of this Subsection, (i) the density allowed on Block 4991, Lots 024, 061, 065 and 078, and Block 5076, Lots 012 and 013, may be transferred to any other lot within the SUD north of Alana Way or north of the proposed Harney Way setback line and (ii) if the portion of Assessor's Block 4991, Lot 085 south of the Harney setback line becomes its own lot through a subdivision action, the new lot south of the setback line may transfer its density to any other lot north of Alana Way or north of the Harney setback line pursuant to the procedures described in this Subsection. The Blocks and Lots in the SUD and the location of the proposed Harney Way setback line are shown on the map in Figure 249.54(A). In addition, a detailed description of the Harney Way setback line is on file with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors in File No. 110625 and incorporated into this Section by this reference. Figure 249.54(A) (B) To transfer density, a Notice of Special Restriction ("NSR") must be recorded against lots that both provide and receive the density transfer. Prior to recording a NSR for a density transfer, the Planning Department must have verified that the density transfer proposed is authorized by this Subsection. The NSR shall explicitly state the square footage of the providing lot, and the maximum number of residential units and the maximum gross square footage of non-residential uses that are being forgone on the providing lot and transferred to the receiving lot or lots. If density is being distributed between more than one lot, the NSR shall explicitly state how much density each lot is receiving. The NSR must also explicitly state that by transferring density, the providing lot is foregoing all rights to develop on the providing lot the number of units and amount of non-residential square footage transferred. In all cases, lots receiving density transfers will continue to be subject to all relevant controls and guidelines notwithstanding new maximum allowed density. The NSR memorializing the transfer must be approved as to form by the City Attorney. (5) Family Size Units. Section 207.6 applies to lots within the SUD. (6) Harney Way Setback. No building shall be built on the southern side of the Harney setback line as shown on Figure 249.54(A) and described in the detailed description of the Harney Way setback line on file with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors in File No. 110625. Residential and non-residential densities that would have otherwise been allowed south of the setback line may be applied to other portions of the lot or transferred to other lots within the SUD pursuant to Section 249.54(c)(4). (7) Site Coverage. Rear yard provisions of Planning Code Section 134 do not apply. The maximum site coverage of any building is 75 percent of the site area as measured at the grade level of the building's main pedestrian entry and at each succeeding level or story of the building. The site area used to create new publicly accessible streets, will be credited toward the area required to be unbuilt when calculating the site coverage. The location of proposed new publicly accessible streets and resulting new formulated blocks are shown in Figure 249.54(B). Figure 249.54(B) (8) Open Space. For all residential uses, 75 square feet of open space is required per dwelling unit. All residential open space must meet the provisions described in Section 135, except where modified through Design Review under Section 309.2. Open space requirements may be met with the following types of open space: "private usable open space" as defined in Section 135(a) of this Code, "common usable open space" as defined in Section 135(a) of this Code, and "publicly accessible open space" as defined in Section 135(h) and (i) of this Code, except that in the case of new publicly accessible streets, "publicly accessible open space" does not include the curb-to-curb area that is open to vehicles and includes only the sidewalk area. At least 36 square feet of open space per dwelling unit must be provided on-site. Exceptions to this requirement may be sought through the Section 309.2 approval process. For purposes of this Section "on-site" means the area within the new formulated blocks shown in Figure 249.54(B). On-site includes setback area, but not areas used to create new publicly accessible streets. (9) Obstructions. Provisions in the Executive Park Design Guidelines shall be used in-lieu of Planning Code Section 136 in determining allowable obstructions.

(10) Off-Street Parking. The minimum off-street parking requirements set forth in Section 151.1 shall not apply. However, for the purpose of determining the maximum amount of parking allowed as an accessory use under Section 204.5, the amount of parking required by this Code shall be the amount specified in Section 151.1 for the use or activity. (11) Parking Location in Building. Parking shall be located below the grade of the floor of the main pedestrian entrance to the building, with exceptions for (A) parking ingress and egress, and (B) parking spaces dedicated to car sharing, vanpools, and handicap accessible parking spaces. Notwithstanding the above, for sloping lots, building floor dedicated to parking may be partially above grade, if fully wrapped with active uses as defined by Planning Code Section 145.1. (12) Off-street Loading. Off-street loading pursuant to Section 152 through 152.2 is not required. There is no limit to the number of allowed loading spaces as long as loading facilities meet the Executive Park Design Guidelines. (13) Car Sharing. The car sharing provisions of Planning Code Section 166 shall apply to lots within the SUD. (14) Signs. Sign controls for NC-2 Districts shall apply to the SUD in-lieu of sign controls for the underlying use district. (15) Streetscape and Other Infrastructure Improvements. (A) General Requirements For New Publicly Accessible Streets and Improvements to Existing Streets. For each building or phase of development, all bordering streets, including proposed new publicly accessible streets as shown on Figure 249.54(B), shall be fully improved for the entire width of the right-of-way consistent with the Executive Park Subarea Plan and the Executive Park Design Guidelines. If a proposed building or phase does not directly connect with Thomas Mellon Drive, Executive Park Boulevard West, Executive Park Boulevard North or Executive Park Boulevard East, construction of the building or phase must also include right-of-way improvements leading to at least one of these streets. Said improvements must be completed and operational prior to the issuance of the first certificate of occupancy, whether temporary or final ("the time of occupancy"), as required by the conditions of approval for each building or phase of development. (B) General Requirements for New Publicly Accessible Open Space. To provide adequate public open space, the Executive Park Subarea Plan and Executive Park Design Guidelines identify three new public open space areas in the SUD as shown in Figure 249.54(B). For any building or phase of development that is immediately adjacent to any of the three identified open spaces in the SUD as shown in Figure 249.54(B), the construction of the open space shall be completed to the satisfaction of the City prior to the issuance of any temporary or final certificate of occupancy. This requirement applies to the first such building or phase of development adjacent to the open space. (C) Planning Commission approval of a building or phase under Section 309.2 shall incorporate conditions for each building or phase that clearly identifies which portions of the publicly accessible streets and open space in Figure 249.54(B) will be constructed pursuant to Subsections (A) and (B) above. The Planning Commission may make exceptions to these General Requirements in formulating the related conditions of approval in extraordinary circumstances, such as but not limited to: (1) a subject right-of-way or open space is wholly or partially on a property under different ownership; or (2) strict adherence to the delivery schedule pursuant to the General Requirements would require a portion of a newly constructed right-of-way or open space to be demolished and reconstructed within two years given construction phasing. In making such exceptions, the Planning Commission shall include conditions that will assure either of the following: (1) that the delivery of open space or right-of-way improvements otherwise generally required at the time of occupancy be delivered no more than two years after said occupancy as guaranteed by a letter of credit acceptable to the City Attorney's Office or other instrument providing a similar level of guarantee acceptable to the City Attorney's Office; or (2) delivery of other public improvements as described in the Executive Park Subarea Plan of equal or greater value at the time of occupancy of the related build or phase of development. (D) Street improvements must comply with any applicable provisions of the San Francisco Charter or Municipal Code and adopted implementing regulations, including, without limitation, those contained in the City's Subdivision Code and Public Works Code regarding street lighting, sidewalk paving, stormwater management, landscaping and design of public structures. (E) Conditions of approval of a building or phase within the SUD shall require the abutting property owner or owners to hold harmless the City and County of San Francisco, its officers, agents, and employees, from any damage or injury caused by reason of the design, construction or maintenance of the improvements, and shall require the owner(s) and their successors and assigns of the respective property to be solely liable for any damage or loss occasioned by any act. (F) Project Sponsors shall apply for all required permits for changes to the legislated sidewalk widths and street improvements and pay all required fees.

(a) General. A Special Use District entitled the Calle 24 Special Use District, the boundaries of which are shown on Sectional Maps SU07 and SU08 of the Zoning Map, is hereby established for the purposes set forth below.

(b) Purpose. The Calle 24 Special Use District is intended to preserve the prevailing neighborhood character of the Calle 24 Latino Cultural District while accommodating new uses and recognizing the contributions of the Latino community to the neighborhood and San Francisco. Realizing the purpose of the Calle 24 Special Use District will require the participation and coordination of residents, businesses, public agencies, and other community stakeholders. City agencies, including the Office of Economic and Workforce Development, will actively engage with new commercial uses to help achieve the purposes of the Calle 24 Special Use District. Such City agencies may act as resource for residents, businesses, and other community stakeholders when realizing and promoting the purposes of the Calle 24 Special Use District, including coordinating business partnerships, product offerings, and employment commitments.

The Mission Alcoholic Beverage Special Use District (SUD) applies to the area generally bounded by Guerrero Street, San Jose Avenue, Randall Street, Mission Street, Cesar Chavez Street, Potrero Avenue and Fourteenth Street, as designated on Sectional Maps 7SU and 8SU of the Zoning Map of the City and County of San Francisco. The controls apply only within the boundaries of the SUD. There is a large number of establishments dispensing alcoholic beverages, including beer and wine, for both on-site and off-site consumption in this area. Bars and Restaurants are concentrated on the commercial corridors of Valencia Street, Mission Street, and 24th Street. Liquor Stores selling off-site liquor are distributed throughout this area. This concentration of alcoholic beverage establishments has contributed to numerous peace, health, safety and general welfare problems in the area. The SUD, which has been in effect since 1987, was established to prohibit new establishments, or expansion of existing establishments, selling alcoholic beverages within the area and prohibited the transfer of liquor licenses. This has resulted in a freezing of entitlements that have less rigorous required operating conditions than are required today. While a net increase in Liquor Stores will continue to be prohibited, the transfer of a liquor license is permissible if the operating conditions currently in effect in the City and County of San Francisco are imposed on the transferee. The area would also benefit from new Grocery Stores of any size that may incidentally sell alcoholic beverages. The following restrictions shall apply within such district: (a) Prohibition of New Liquor Stores. No new Liquor Store, shall be permitted in the SUD, except that an existing Liquor Store may relocate pursuant to subsection (c) below. (b) Allowed Alcohol-related Uses. Certain uses which are not likely to generate negative impacts on the surrounding area shall be allowed within the SUD as set forth below: (1) The following uses shall be eligible for liquor licenses transferred from within the SUD as well as licenses transferred from outside the SUD: (A) Bona Fide Eating Places. A Restaurant Use operating as a Bona Fide Eating Place shall be permitted to serve alcoholic beverages in this SUD. (B) Non-Profit Theaters. A non-profit theater shall be permitted to serve alcoholic beverages in this SUD. A "non-profit theater" shall mean a building or part of a building intended to be used for the specific purposes of presenting any act, play, revue, pantomime, scene, song, dance act, or song and dance act, conducted or participated in by one or more persons, whether or not such person or persons are compensated for such performance, and which is exempted from payment of income tax under Section 23701d of the California Revenue and Taxation Code and Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of the United States. A "non-profit theater" shall not include any dance hall, as defined in Section 1022 of the Police Code, a billiard parlor, pool hall, bowling alley, or Adult Business. (C) Bowling Alleys and Mini-Golf Courses. A bowling alley or a mini-golf course shall be permitted to serve alcoholic beverages along with any Restaurant use which is functionally and/or physically integrated with such bowling alley or mini-golf course. General Entertainment uses, excluding those uses that require a Place of Entertainment permit, shall

be permitted to serve alcoholic beverages along with any Restaurant use which is functionally and/or physically integrated with such General Entertainment use. (D) Single Screen Movie Theaters. A single screen Movie Theater shall be permitted to serve alcoholic beverages, provided that (i) such use contains only a single screen and auditorium, (ii) only beer and wine are offered for consumption, and (iii) such beer and wine are: a. only consumed on the premises and primarily in the main theater auditorium, b. only sold and consumed by ticketholders and only immediately before and during performances, and c. only offered in conjunction with the screening of films and not as an independent element of the establishment that is unrelated to the viewing of films. (E) Music Entertainment Facility. A music entertainment facility with a California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) Type 90 license shall be permitted to serve alcoholic beverages in this SUD. (2) The following uses shall be eligible for liquor licenses transferred from within the district: (A) General Groceries or Specialty Groceries that are 5,000 square feet or smaller. Such use shall require a Conditional Use authorization and shall be limited to a Type 20 Liquor License for Specialty Groceries and General Groceries, except that such use shall not sell a single beer or malt beverage in a container size of 24 oz. or smaller, or sell any malt beverage with an alcohol content greater than 5.7% by volume; or any wine in a container size less than 375 ml or with an alcohol content of greater than 15% by volume, except for “dinner wines” that have been aged two years or more and maintained in a corked bottle. (B) General Groceries or Specialty Groceries that are greater than 5,000 square feet. (C) A new or relocated Bar shall be considered pursuant to the underlying zoning, except that such authorization shall be as a Conditional Use. A new Bar shall use a liquor license transferred from another Bar from within the SUD. (c) Existing Liquor Establishments. For purposes of this subsection, "liquor establishment" shall mean any establishment licensed by the State of California to sell alcoholic beverages except for those uses listed in subsection (b)(1)-(2) above. Any liquor establishment lawfully existing prior to the effective date of this Ordinance No. 180-13 and licensed by the State of California for the retail sale of alcoholic beverages, so long as otherwise lawful, is considered a nonconforming use pursuant to Section 180 , and is subject to the restrictions of Sections 181 and 183 with the following exceptions: (1) Renovation and Repair. Temporary closure of an existing liquor establishment for not more than 120 days for repair, renovation or remodeling is allowed so long as such repair, renovation, or remodeling brings the existing use into closer conformity with the controls of this SUD, with the underlying zoning, or with urban design principles found elsewhere in this Code for active ground floor commercial spaces. (2) Relocation. Relocation of an existing liquor establishment in this SUD to another location within this SUD may be allowed with Conditional Use authorization from the Planning Commission. (3) Expansion. An existing liquor establishment may expand its use with Conditional Use authorization from the Planning Commission. In reviewing the application for such expansion, the Commission shall consider the establishment's prior operating conditions. (d) Good Neighbor Policies. The operating conditions established in Section 202.2 of this Code shall apply to all liquor establishments in this SUD in order to maintain the safety and cleanliness of the premises and vicinity. In addition, all new, relocated, or expanded liquor establishments, and any liquor establishment with a license referred for review to the Planning Department by the State of California Department of Alcohol Beverage Control, shall comply with the requirements set forth below. Liquor establishment shall have the meaning set forth in subsection (c) above. (1) The liquor establishment shall provide outside lighting in a manner sufficient to illuminate street and sidewalk areas and any adjacent parking, as appropriate to maintain security, without disturbing area residences. (2) No more than 33% of the square footage of the windows and clear doors of the liquor establishment shall bear advertising or signage of any sort, and all advertising and signage shall be placed and maintained in a manner than ensures that law enforcement personnel have a clear and unobstructed view of the interior of the premises from the exterior public sidewalk or entrance to the premises. This requirement shall not apply to premises where there are no windows, or where existing windows are located at a height that precludes a view of the interior of the premises to a person standing outside the premises. Street facing facades shall maintain at least 50% clear and visually-permeable glazing. For any use authorized pursuant to a Conditional Use authorization after the effective date of Ordinance No. 143-14 repeated violations of the Good Neighbor Policies set forth in this subsection (d), of the operating conditions set forth in Section 202.2 of this Code, or of any conditions associated with a Condition of Approval shall require a hearing at the Planning Commission to consider revocation of the Conditional Use authorization. (e) Fringe Financial Services. In addition to all other applicable controls set forth in this Code, properties in the Mission Alcoholic Beverage Special Use Subdistrict are within the Fringe Financial Service Restricted Use District established by Section 249.35 and are subject to the controls and exemptions set forth in Section 249.35.

There is an unusually large number of establishments dispensing alcoholic beverages, including beer and wine, for both on-site and off-site consumption in the Bayview area. The existence of this many alcoholic beverage establishments appears to contribute directly to numerous peace, health, safety and general welfare problems in the area, including loitering, littering, drug trafficking, prostitution, public drunkenness, defacement and damaging of structures, pedestrian obstructions, as well as traffic circulation, parking and noise problems on public streets and neighborhood lots. The existence of such problems creates serious impacts on the health, safety and welfare of residents of nearby single- and multiple-family areas, including fear for the safety of children, elderly residents and of visitors to the area. The problems also contribute to the deterioration of the neighborhood and concomitant devaluation of property and destruction of community values and quality of life. The number of establishments selling alcoholic beverages and the associated problems discourage more desirable and needed commercial uses in the area. (a) In order to preserve the residential character and the neighborhood-serving commercial uses of the area, the Third Street Alcohol Restricted Use District (“Third Street Alcohol RUD”) is hereby established for the property in the area generally bounded by Islais Creek to the north, Quint Street, Phelps Street, Tampa Street, Bridgeview Drive, Newhall Street, Venus Street, and Egbert Avenue to the west, US Highway 101 to the south, and Mendell Street, La Salle Avenue, Keith Street, Palou Street, Jennings Street, and Ingalls Street to the east, as designated on Sectional Map Numbers 8 and 10. The following controls shall apply within the Third Street Alcohol RUD. (1) No new On-sale or Off-sale Liquor Establishment shall be permitted in the Third Street Alcohol RUD. (2) The prohibition on new Liquor Establishments in subsection (a)(1) shall not be interpreted to prohibit the following: (A) Temporary uses, as described in Planning Code Sections 205.1 or 205.3; (B) Establishment of a Liquor Establishment if application for such Liquor Establishment was on file with the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (“ABC”) prior to the effective date of Ordinance No. 67-03 establishing the Third Street Alcohol RUD (May 19, 2003); (C) Sales of wine and brandy pursuant to an ABC License Type 2; (D) Sales and manufacturing of beer pursuant to an ABC License Type 23; or (E) Establishment of an On-sale Liquor Establishment with an ABC License Type 42 within the Bayview Neighborhood Commercial District, pursuant to a Conditional Use authorization as provided in Section 303. (3) Continuation of Pre-existing Liquor Establishments.

The applications for design review shall be filed by the owner or authorized agent of the owner of any proposed project that triggers the construction of a Community Improvement pursuant to the Development Agreement Phasing Plan or any project mitigation measure. The Community Improvement design review application shall include site plans, sections, elevations, renderings, and landscape plans, the purpose of which is to illustrate the overall concept design of the proposed Community Improvement. The Planning Department shall review the proposed Community Improvement for conformance with the Parkmerced Design Standards and Guidelines, issue a preliminary approval of the design review application if it so conforms, or propose modifications to the Design Review Application that create conformance with the Parkmerced Design Standards and Guidelines. Once the Planning Department has issued a preliminary approval, it shall then circulate the design review application to the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency, Department of Public Works, the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission, and any other affected City agency to the extent that construction of the Community Improvement falls within the jurisdiction or permitting authority of such agency or department. Each aforementioned agency or department shall review the proposed Community Improvement for conformance with the Parkmerced Design Standards and Guidelines and the agency or department's generally-applied technical design guidelines in effect at that time (to the extent that they affect the overall concept design of the Community Improvement) and shall approve the design review application if it so conforms or propose modifications to the design review application to ensure its conformance. Any proposed modifications shall be consistent with the requirements of the Development Agreement, for so long as it is in effect.

If none of the reviewing agencies propose any modifications, the Planning Department shall issue a final approval of the Community Improvement design review application to the project sponsor. If any of the reviewing agencies propose modifications to a Community Improvement design review application that has received preliminary approval, their proposals shall be consolidated and forwarded to the project sponsor. The Planning Department shall not issue a final approval of a Community Improvement design review application until it has received a revised design review application that conforms with any reviewing agency or department comments, consistent with the requirements and limitations of the Development Agreement, for so long as it is in effect. Nothing in this subsection 5 shall be construed as a limitation on the discretion retained by any City agency or department under the terms of the Development Agreement, including but not limited to as set forth in Section 2.4 of the Development Agreement. (6) Building Permit Approval by the Planning Department. Each building permit application submitted to the Department of Building Inspection shall be forwarded to the Planning Department. Planning Department staff shall review the building permit application for consistency with the authorizations granted pursuant to this Section. No building permit may be issued for work within this Special Use District unless Planning Department staff determines such permit is consistent with the standards set forth in the Parkmerced Design Standards and Guidelines and the metrics set forth in the Parkmerced Sustainability Plan, in each case, only to the extent such standards or metrics regulate building design. (7) Discretionary Review. No requests for discretionary review shall be accepted by the Planning Department or heard by the Planning Commission for projects subject to this Section. (8) Demolition of Dwelling Units. No mandatory discretionary review or Conditional Use authorization pursuant to Section 317 shall be required for the demolition of any Dwelling Unit within the Parkmerced Special Use District.

The decision of the Planning Director to grant or deny any project, including any Minor Modification, or of the Planning Commission to grant or deny any Major Modification, may be appealed to the Board of Appeals by any person aggrieved within 15 days after the date of the decision by filing a written notice of appeal with that body. Such notice must set forth the alleged error in the interpretation of the provisions of this Code or the Parkmerced Design Standards and Guidelines or the alleged abuse of discretion on the part of the Planning Director or Planning Commission, which error or abuse is the basis for the appeal. Upon the hearing of an appeal, the Board of Appeals may, subject to the same limitations placed on the Planning Commission or Planning Director by Charter, this Code, and the Development Agreement, approve, disapprove or modify the appealed decision by a vote of four of its members. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Business and Tax Regulations Code, if the determination of the Board differs from that of the Planning Director or Planning Commission, the Board of Appeals shall, in a written decision, make findings specifying the error of interpretation or abuse of discretion on the part of the Planning Director or Planning Commission, and the specific facts relied upon, that are the basis for the Board's determination.

The purpose of the Bayshore Boulevard Home Improvement Special Use District is to encourage and promote businesses of varying types that are focused on home improvement, particularly those that emphasize sensitivity to the environment and sustainable use of natural resources through products offered and/or treatment of the site and building. The Bayshore Boulevard Home Improvement Special Use District intends to create a mixed commercial district, which includes retail and production, distribution and repair businesses, to enable synergies between retail and other businesses dedicated to the physical improvement of property and related home furnishings. The intent of this district is also to retain and promote locally grown businesses and to provide employment opportunities at a wide range of levels for local residents. The Special Use District is located in a Redevelopment Plan Area, for which local hiring is an explicitly stated goal. The Bayview Hunters Point "Employment and Contracting Policy," an adopted Redevelopment Agency document, establishes construction, permanent, and trainee goals for certain types of projects in the area. These goals meet or exceed the requirements of Chapter 83 of the San Francisco Administrative Code (First Source Hiring Policy) and San Francisco's CityBuild Program.

The maximum permitted number of accessory off-street parking spaces shall be that which would apply to accessory off-street parking for a PDR-2 District absent this Special Use District. (4) The following projects shall be consistent with the policies and guidelines of the "Bayshore Boulevard Home Improvement District Design Guidelines" as adopted by the Planning Commission and amended from time to time: (A) New construction; or (B) An increase in gross floor area of more than 25 percent. (5) The provisions set forth in Section 202.7 of this Code, which relate to demolition of industrial buildings in PDR districts, shall not apply. (6) Formula retail uses as defined in Section 303.1 of this Code that are 10,000 square feet or larger shall be subject to the Redevelopment Agency's Bayview Hunters Point "Employment and Contracting Policy."

A Special Use District entitled the Jewish Home of San Francisco Special Use District (“District”), the boundaries of which are shown on Special Use District Map SU11 of the Zoning Map of the City and County of San Francisco, is hereby established for the purposes set out below. (a) Purpose. The purpose of the District is to facilitate the provision of a Residential Care Facility for the elderly, accomplished by augmenting existing residential care facilities with additional residential care facility and supportive uses, beyond those typically permitted within a Residential Care Facility, as defined in Planning Code Section 102, that will provide a comprehensive array of programs, services, and levels of housing and care to reach a broader spectrum of the senior population, including both resident and non-resident seniors. The District will facilitate an institutional development pattern appropriate for a Residential Care Facility for the elderly, while also respecting the surrounding neighborhood context. To achieve this purpose, this District will: (1) Provide skilled nursing facilities and licensed residential care facilities for the elderly, and (2) Provide a range of uses and services to residents, visitors, employees, and the general public. Such uses may be accessory to the Residential Care Facility, or may be principal uses, when permitted. These uses may include Health Service Uses (including but not limited to medical office, laboratories and outpatient clinics); acute care psychiatric hospital uses; other Institutional Uses (including but not limited to religious facilities, adult day care, assembly and social services); Personal Services; administrative office space; and Retail Uses. (b) Controls. Applicable provisions of the Planning Code shall apply except as otherwise provided in this Section 249.73. In the event of a conflict between other provisions of the Planning Code and this District, this Section 249.73 shall control. (1) Accessory Uses. In this District, exceptions from otherwise applicable requirements of the Planning Code may be appropriate to further the goals set forth in this Section 249.73. Accessory uses within this District shall be governed by Planning Code Section 703(d). Outpatient services, acute care psychiatric hospital uses, and all other uses listed in Section 249.73(a)(2) shall be permitted as Accessory Uses and may be made available to non-resident seniors. (2) Non-Residential Uses. In this District, exceptions from otherwise applicable requirements of the Planning Code may be appropriate to further the goals set forth in this Section 249.73 to provide care for the elderly. In addition to the uses that are otherwise permitted as principal or conditional uses in the RH-2 Zoning District, Non-Residential uses permitted within the Excelsior Outer Mission Street Neighborhood Commercial District shall also be permitted as a Planned Unit Development modification pursuant to Planning Code Section 304(d)(5), provided, however, that such uses shall not be limited to serving only residents of the immediate vicinity. (3) Floor Area Ratio. The permitted floor area ratio for any individual lot within the District shall not exceed 2.1:1; provided, however, the cumulative floor area ratio for the entire District shall not exceed 1.8:1. (4) Rear Yards. The rear yard requirements of Planning Code Section 134 shall not apply to any Non-Residential use within this District. (5) Off-Street Automobile Parking. No more than a total of 224 off-street accessory parking spaces may be permitted within this Special Use District, provided that any parking proposed above the 224 parking space maximum shall not be considered accessory parking but as a principal use that shall require conditional use authorization. In considering an application for a conditional use for any such parking, the Planning Commission shall consider the criteria set forth in Section 157 of this Code. (6) Signs. Signage shall be regulated as provided in Section 607.1 of this Code for an NC-3 District, except that up to four identifying signs within the District shall be permitted, and the height of wall signs shall not exceed 30 feet on the wall to which the sign is attached.

413.6. (3) TDR Requirements for Large Development Sites. The transfer and use of TDR by Large Development Sites in the Central SoMa SUD is subject to the controls of Section 128.1. (B) Requirement. (i) A project subject to this subsection (3) will be considered a “Development Lot,” pursuant to Section 128.1; (ii) To exceed a Floor Area Ratio of 3:1, a Development Lot shall acquire one Unit of TDR from a Transfer Lot, as defined in Sections 128 and 128.1, per square foot of development up to a Floor Area Ratio of 4.25:1. Above 4.25:1, the acquisition of additional TDR is not required. (4) Onsite Childcare Facilities. Prior to issuance of a building or site permit for a development project subject to the requirements of Section 414.4, the sponsor of an Office or Hotel project on a Key Site, as defined in Section 329(e), shall elect its choice of the options described in subsection (A), (B) and (E) of Section 414.4(c)(1) to fulfill any requirements imposed pursuant to Section 414.4 as a condition of approval. The Planning Commission shall review the project for compliance with Section 414.4. In addition, the following process shall apply: (A) The Commission may grant an exception to the provisions of Section 414.5(A), 414.6(A), or 414.9(A) if it finds that one or all of the following apply: (i) The space is being provided to the proposed child-care provider at a below-market rate rent and/or at a significantly reduced cost. (ii) The proposed child-care provider provides services consistent with the goals and expenditures of the Child Care Capital Fund in Section 414.14, which may include activities including, but not limited to, providing care affordable to households of low and moderate income, or providing care that fulfills unmet needs for child care by age group and/or neighborhood, as determined through a needs assessment conducted by the Director of the Office of Early Care & Education, or its successor. (B) If the Commission determines that none of the options described in subsection (A), (B), and (E) of Section 414.4(c)(1) is feasible, the sponsor may elect any of the other options in subsection 414.4(c)(1). Feasibility may be determined by, among other things, the sufficiency of the existing supply of child care facilities in the Central SoMa SUD, the inability to provide suitable space that would meet childcare licensing requirements, a determination by the Commission that the site is not a suitable location for child care provision, and financial feasibility. (f) Effect of Litigation. In the event that any person or entity files a lawsuit in any court challenging any new development requirement imposed as part of the Central SoMa Plan that generates revenue to fund the Central SoMa Public Benefits Program, then upon the service of such lawsuit upon the City and County of San Francisco, the City will not approve any application or grant any entitlement for development of any non-residential use in the Central SoMa SUD that could not be approved but for the adoption of this ordinance and that has not yet received a first construction document, unless and until 12 months have passed or legislation is enacted to address the challenged development requirement, whichever is sooner. Unless and until 12 months have passed or legislation is enacted to address the challenged development requirement, whichever is sooner, the City shall deny any complete permit application on or before the date the Permit Streamlining Act requires approval or disapproval of the project, based on the uncertainty of the validity of the challenged development requirement. (g) Non-Severability. If any new development requirement imposed as part of the Central SoMa Plan that generates revenue to fund the Public Benefits Program contained in the Central SoMa Implementation Program; or any subsection, sentence, clause, phrase, or word thereof; becomes unenforceable as a result of a final decision of a court of competent jurisdiction, the City will not approve any application or grant any entitlement for any non-residential development in the Central SoMa SUD that has not yet received a first construction document.

(a) Purpose and Boundaries. To facilitate the City’s long-term goal of redevelopment and revitalization of a portion of Pier 70, a Special Use District entitled the “Pier 70 Special Use District” (SUD) is hereby established. The boundaries of the SUD are shown on Sectional Map SU08 of the Zoning Map. The purpose of this SUD is to give effect to the Development Agreement (DA) and Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA) for the Pier 70 Mixed-Use Project (Project), as approved by the Board of Supervisors in the Ordinance contained in Board File No. 170863. The Project will provide several benefits to the City, such as a significant amount of affordable housing (through the inclusionary housing requirements of this SUD, and through additional inclusionary requirements, provision of land, and funding for affordable housing as provided for in the Affordable Housing Exhibit of the DDA), increased public access and open space, facilities for small-scale manufacturing, extensive infrastructure improvements, and replacement space for Noonan Building tenants, while creating jobs, housing, and a vibrant community as contemplated under California Assembly Bill 418 (AB 418) (Stats. 2011, ch. 477), which made Pier 70-specific amendments to the Burton Act (Stats. 1969, ch. 1333). (b) Role of Port Commission. The majority of the property within the SUD is under the jurisdiction of the Port Commission, and Port lands are subject to land use controls additional to this Municipal Code. As authorized under AB 418, the Port may hold, use, conduct, operate, maintain, manage, administer, regulate, improve, sell, lease, encumber, and control nontrust lands and improvements within the SUD for any purpose on conditions specified in AB 418. In the event of a conflict between this Code and the Burton Act, AB 418, or the McAteer-Petris Act (Cal. Gov’t Code §§ 66600 et seq.), state law shall prevail. (c) Relationship to Design for Development. The Pier 70 Design for Development (Design for Development), adopted by the Planning Commission and Port Commission and as may be periodically amended, sets forth Standards and Guidelines applicable within the SUD and is incorporated here by reference. Any term used in this Section 249.79 and not otherwise defined in this Code shall have the meaning ascribed to it in the Design for Development. The Port shall have exclusive jurisdiction and approval rights over amendments to the Design for Development that affect only open space and right-of-way development within the SUD, which include Design for Development, Chapter 3 (Open Space Network); Chapter 4 (Streets and Streetscapes); Section 7.2 (Street Lighting); Section 7.3 (Open Space Lighting); Section 7.6 (Wayfinding Signage); and Section 7.8 (Public Art). Other than as specified above, the Port Commission and the Planning Commission may amend the Design for Development upon initiation by either body or upon application by an owner or ground lessee of property within the SUD, to the extent that such amendment is consistent with this Section, the General Plan, and the DA. Both the Port Commission and Planning Commission shall approve any such amendment to the Design for Development that does not exclusively affect the open space and right-of-way Chapters and Sections of the Design for Development identified in this subsection (c) as being within the exclusive jurisdiction of the Port Commission. (d) Relationship to Other Planning Code Provisions. Applicable provisions of the Planning Code shall control except as otherwise provided in this Section 249.79, the Design for Development, and the DA (so long as the DA is in effect). In the event of a conflict between other provisions of the Planning Code and the Design for Development or this Section 249.79 (and further subject to subsection (e) below), this Section 249.79 and the Design for Development shall control. (e) Development Controls. Development and uses of property within the SUD shall be regulated by the controls contained in this Section 249.79 and in the Design for Development, provided, however, that if there is any inconsistency between this Section and the Design for Development, this Section shall control. (f) Definitions. If not explicitly superseded by definitions established in this Section 249.79 or the Design for Development, the definitions in this Code shall apply. Later amendments to the definitions in this Code shall apply where not in conflict with this Section 249.79, the Design for Development, or the DA. In addition to the specific definitions set forth elsewhere in this Section 249.79, the following definitions shall govern interpretation of this Section: “Applicant” means the ground lessee, owner, or authorized agent of the owner or ground lessee of a development parcel. “Building Standards” means the standards applicable to Buildings and any associated privately-owned open spaces within the SUD, consisting of the standards specified in subsection (h) and the standards identified as such in the Design for Development. “Executive Director” means the Executive Director of the Port of San Francisco. “Historic Building” means one of the existing structures commonly known as Historic Building 2, Historic Building 12, or Historic Building 21, which are part of the Union Iron Works Historic District (listed on the National Register of Historic Places). “Horizontal Development” means construction of Public Facilities. “Major Modification” means a deviation of 10% or more from any dimensional or numerical standard in this SUD or in the Design for Development, except as explicitly prohibited per subsection (i). “Minor Modification” means a deviation of less than 10% from any dimensional or numerical standard in this SUD or in the Design for Development, except as explicitly prohibited per subsection (i), or from any non-numerical standard in the Design for Development. “Proposition F” m

standard in this SUD or in the Design for Development, except as explicitly prohibited per subsection (i). “Minor Modification” means a deviation of less than 10% from any dimensional or numerical standard in this SUD or in the Design for Development, except as explicitly prohibited per subsection (i), or from any non-numerical standard in the Design for Development. “Proposition F” means the Union Iron Works Historic District Housing, Waterfront Parks, Jobs and Preservation Initiative adopted by the voters on November 4, 2014. “Public Facilities” include completed utility infrastructure; recreational, open space, and public access areas; public rights-of-way; and other improvements in the public realm that will be under City and Port jurisdiction when accepted. “Vertical DDA” means a Vertical Disposition and Development Agreement between the Port and an Applicant that sets forth contractual terms and conditions governing the Applicant’s development of Vertical Improvements. “Vertical Improvements” means new construction of a Building and any later expansion or major alteration of or addition to a previously approved Building within the SUD.

In addition to any hearings required under the DDA, prior to Port Commission approval the Developer shall make an informational presentation of each Phase Submittal to the Planning Commission and the Historic Preservation Commission, and seek comment from these commissions. Pursuant to subsection (l)(5) below and as further established in the DDA, the Planning Director shall review the off-street parking program proposed in the subject phase for consistency with the off-street parking requirements set forth in this Section 249.79 prior to Port Commission approval of the Phase Application. (k) Review and Approval of Open Space. The Port Commission shall have exclusive jurisdiction over the review of proposed publicly-owned open space within the SUD for consistency with the Design for Development, including program, design, and the inclusion of any ancillary structures. Any privately-owned publicly-accessible open space on any of the development parcels shall be reviewed and approved by Planning as part of the associated Vertical Improvement. (l) Design Review and Approval of Vertical Improvements. (1) Applications. Applications for design review are required for all Vertical Improvements prior to issuance of building permits. An application for design review shall be filed at the Port by the owner or authorized agent of the owner of the property for which the design review is sought. Each application shall include the documents and materials necessary to determine consistency with this Section and the Design for Development, including site plans, sections, elevations, renderings, landscape plans, and exterior material samples to illustrate the overall concept design of the proposed buildings. If an Applicant requests a Major or Minor Modification, the application shall contain descriptive material such as narrative and supporting imagery, if appropriate, that describes how the proposed Vertical Improvement meets the intent of the SUD and Design for Development and provides architectural treatment and public benefit that are equivalent or superior to strict compliance with the standards. (2) Completeness. Port and Planning staff shall review the application for completeness and advise the Applicant in writing of any deficiencies within 30 days after receipt of the application or, if applicable, within 15 days after receipt of any supplemental information requested pursuant to this Section. Review by Port staff shall also include a review for compliance with the requirements of the applicable Vertical DDA (or, if the Vertical DDA has not been executed at the time of application submittal, for compliance with the requirements of the form of Vertical DDA approved by the Board of Supervisors and the information provided in Developer’s applicable Appraisal Notice submitted under the DDA). (3) Staff Design Review of Buildings. Each application for Vertical Improvements shall be subject to the administrative design review process set forth in this subsection (l). Upon a determination of completeness (or deemed completeness), staff shall conduct design review and prepare a staff report determining compliance of the Vertical Improvemen

Appraisal Notice submitted under the DDA). (3) Staff Design Review of Buildings. Each application for Vertical Improvements shall be subject to the administrative design review process set forth in this subsection (l). Upon a determination of completeness (or deemed completeness), staff shall conduct design review and prepare a staff report determining compliance of the Vertical Improvement with this Section 249.79 and the Design for Development, including a recommendation regarding any modifications sought. Such staff report shall be delivered to the Applicant and any third parties requesting notice in writing, shall be kept on file, and posted on the Department’s website for public review, within 60 days of the determination of completeness. If staff determines that the Vertical Improvement is not compliant with the Design for Development and this Section 249.79, it will notify the Applicant within the applicable 60-day period, in which case, the Applicant may resubmit the Application and the requirements under subsection (l)(1) through subsection (l)(3) apply anew, except the time for staff review shall be 30 days. (4) Port Review of Historic Buildings. Following the informational presentation by the Developer and receipt of comments, if any, from the Planning Commission and Historic Preservation Commission pursuant to subsection (j) above, Port staff shall review schematic designs for each Historic Building in accordance with the procedures set forth in the ground lease between Port and the Applicant for the applicable Historic Building. Port staff review shall include a determination of consistency with the Design for Development and applicable mitigation measures, including compliance with Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties. (5) Off-Street Parking. It is the intent of this SUD that at full build-out of all parcels in the SUD, the total number of off-street parking spaces within the SUD shall not exceed the applicable maximum parking ratios specified in Table 249.79(h)(4) above. The maximum parking ratios shall not apply to individual Vertical Improvements or parcels, but shall be considered cumulatively for the SUD as a whole. As part of the Phase Submittal process required under the DDA and discussed in subsection (j) above, the Port shall refer to the Planning Director for approval the parking data information submitted by the developer setting forth the total number of residential units and total gross floor area of office space for the proposed phase and for all prior approved phases (without regard to whether or not the Buildings have been constructed) along with an updated estimate of maximum future buildout of residential units and office spaces within the SUD. For Phases 1 and 2, the Phase Submittal may exceed the maximum parking ratios for proposed and previously approved parking spaces by up to 10%, provided the cumulative buildout for that phase does not exceed 90% of the expected full buildout within the SUD for either residential units or office space. For Phases thereafter, the Planning Director may determine whether to allow a 10% deviation above the maximum parking ratios allowed for the SUD, taking into account the expected Project program at full build- out. To ensure compliance with the maximum parking ratios on a periodic basis during the phased build-out of the SUD, Planning shall not otherwise approve new off-street parking proposed within a Vertical Improvement if it determines that the amount of off-street parking proposed for the Vertical Improvement would cause the SUD to exceed the total number of parking spaces approved under the current Phase Submittal plus all prior approved Phase Submittals. (6) Approvals and Public Hearings for New Development. (A) New Construction. Within 20 days after the delivery and posting of the staff report in accordance with subsection (l)(3), the Planning Director shall approve or disapprove the Vertical Improvement design and any Minor Modifications based on its compliance with this Section 249.79 and the Design for Development and the findings and recommendations of the staff report. If the Vertical Improvement is consistent with the numeric standards set forth in this Section 249.79 and the Design for Development, the Planning Director’s discretion to approve or disapprove the Vertical Improvement shall be limited to the Vertical Improvement’s consistency with the non-numeric elements of the Design for Development and the General Plan. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 249.79, the Planning Director may refer an Application that proposes modification to the non-numeric elements of the Design for Development, even if not otherwise classified as a Major Modification, to the Planning Commission as a Major Modification if the Planning Director determines that the proposed modification does not meet the intent of the Standards set forth in the Design for Development. (B) Vertical Improvements Seeking Major Modifications. Upon delivery and posting of the staff report under subsection (l)(3), the Planning Commission shall calendar the item for a public hearing within 20 days or at the next regular meeting thereafter of the Planning Commission (or special meeting, at the Planning Commission’s discretion), subject to any required noticing, for any application for Vertical Improvements seeking one or more Major Modifications and for any Vertical Improvement seeking Minor Modifications that the Planning Director, in his or her sole discretion, refers as a Major Modification. The Planning Commission shall consider all comments from the public and the recommendations of the staff report and the Planning Director in making a decision to approve or disapprove the Vertical Improvement design, including the granting of any Major or Minor Modifications. (C) Notice of Hearings. Notice of hearings required by s

or her sole discretion, refers as a Major Modification. The Planning Commission shall consider all comments from the public and the recommendations of the staff report and the Planning Director in making a decision to approve or disapprove the Vertical Improvement design, including the granting of any Major or Minor Modifications. (C) Notice of Hearings. Notice of hearings required by subsection (B) above shall be provided as follows: (i) by mail not less than 20 days prior to the date of the hearing to the Vertical Improvement applicant, to property owners within 300 feet of the exterior boundaries of the property that is the subject of the application, using for this purpose the names and addresses as shown on the citywide assessment roll in the Office of the Tax Collector, and to any person who has requested such notice; and (ii) by posting on the subject property at least 10 days prior to the date of the hearing. (m) Building Permit Approval. For projects subject to the jurisdiction of the Port, the Chief Harbor Engineer shall review each building permit application for consistency with the authorizations granted pursuant to this Section 249.79. For projects outside the jurisdiction of the Port, DBI shall review each permit application for consistency with the authorizations granted pursuant to this Section 249.79. The Chief Harbor Engineer and DBI shall not issue any building permit for work within the SUD that has not obtained design review approval in accordance with subsections (l)(6)(A) and (B) above to the extent applicable, or is inconsistent with standards in this Section 249.79 or the Design for Development. (n) Change of Use. Before issuing any building permit or other permit or license, or for a permit of Occupancy that would authorize a new use, a change of use or maintenance of an

existing use of any land or structure contrary to the provisions of this Section 249.79 or the Design for Development, the Chief Harbor Engineer or DBI, as applicable, shall refer the matter to the Planning Department for a consistency determination to be provided to the Chief Harbor Engineer or DBI, as applicable, within 15 days of referral. (o) Discretionary Review. No requests for discretionary review shall be accepted by the Planning Department or heard by the Planning Commission for any Building in the SUD.

(a) Purpose and Boundaries. A Special Use District entitled the Mission Rock Special Use District (SUD), the boundaries of which are shown on Sectional Map SU08 of the Zoning Maps of the City and County of San Francisco, is hereby established to facilitate the City’s long-term goal of development of a new Mission Rock neighborhood. The purpose of this SUD is to implement the Mission Rock Affordable Housing, Parks, Jobs and Historic Preservation Initiative approved by City voters on November 3, 2015 (Proposition D), and give effect to the Development Agreement (DA), Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA) and related transactional documents as approved by the Board of Supervisors in ordinances in File Nos. 171313 and 180092, which will provide benefits to the City such as, among other things, development of a mixed-use, transit-oriented community on the waterfront near public transit, major new housing, including a significant amount of affordable housing, increased public access and open spaces, extensive infrastructure improvements, shops, restaurants, cafes, neighborhood-serving retail, community spaces, commercial/office and light industrial/production space, preservation and renovation of historic Pier 48, job creation, responsiveness to climate change and resulting sea level rise, and the generation of revenue to fund public improvements. (b) Role of Port Commission. The property within the SUD is under the jurisdiction of the Port Commission. As authorized under the Burton Act and AB 2797, the Port may hold, use, conduct, operate, maintain, manage, administer, regulate, improve, sell, lease, encumber, and control non-trust lands and improvements within the SUD for any purpose on conditions specified in the Burton Act and AB 2797. In the event of a conflict between this Code and the Burton Act, AB 2797, or the McAteer-Petris Act (Cal. Gov’t Code §§ 66600 et seq.), state law shall prevail. (c) Relationship to Design Controls. The Mission Rock Design Controls (Design Controls or DC), adopted by the Planning Commission and the Port Commission and as may be periodically amended, sets forth Standards and Guidelines, applicable within the SUD. A copy of the Design Controls is on file with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors in File No. 170940 and available on the Board’s website, and is incorporated herein by reference as though fully set forth. Any term used in this Section 249.80 and not otherwise defined in the SUD or this Code shall have the meaning ascribed to it in the Design Controls. The Port shall have exclusive jurisdiction and approval rights over amendments to the Design Controls that affect only open space and right-of-way (including streetscape) development within the SUD, which includes Chapters 2 through 4 of the Design Controls and could include, depending on the context and application to the open space/streetscape areas within Port jurisdiction, the following: Design Controls Section 5.1 (Designing for Environmental Change: Site Grading and Differential Settlement), Section 5.3 (Active Edges), Section 5.4 (Public Passages), Section 5.7 (Parkfront Zone), Section 6.6 (Environmental Comfort), Section 7.1 (Interpretative Signage, Regionally Appropriate Vegetation), Section 7.4 9 (Signage), and Section 7.5 (Lighting). Other than amendments to sections of the Design Controls identified in this subsection (c) as being within the exclusive jurisdiction of the Port Commission as specified above, the Port Commission and the Planning Commission may amend the Design Controls upon initiation by either body or upon application by an Applicant, to the extent that such amendment is consistent with this Section, the General Plan, and the DA. Both the Port Commission and Planning Commission must approve any amendment to the Design Controls that does not exclusively affect the open space and right-of-way Chapters under the exclusive jurisdiction of the Port Commission. In the event of any conflict between the SUD and the Design Controls, the SUD shall prevail. (d) Relationship to Other Planning Code Provisions. The provisions of this SUD and the Design Controls shall supersede the Planning Code in its entirety, with the result that the Planning Code shall not apply in the SUD, except with respect to (1) Planning Code definitions as specified in subsection (e) below; (2) Planning Code sections adopted or amended in connection with this Special Use District as follows: Section 105 (Zoning Maps), Section 201 (Mission Rock Mixed Use District), Section 249.80 (Mission Rock Special Use District), Section 291 (Mission Rock Height and Bulk District), and Section 901 (Applicability of Article 9 Provisions and Other Provisions of the Planning Code); (3) Planning Code sections adopted by ballot proposition prior to the effective date of the ordinance (in Board of Supervisors File No. 170940) adopting this SUD as follows, and only to the extent that such provisions are applicable under the ballot proposition to development within the SUD: sections of the Planning Code adopted or amended by Proposition M (November, 1986) (Sections 101.1, 164, and 320-325); Proposition K (June, 1984) (Section 295); and Proposition G (March, 2002) (Sections 602.7 (recodified at 602) and 611) and (4) any other section of the Planning Code referenced herein (but only to the extent and for the purposes stated herein).

The purpose of the 1629 Market Street SUD is to give effect to the Development Agreement for the 1629 Market Street Project, as approved by the Board of Supervisors in the ordinance in File No. 170938. The 1629 Market Street SUD will facilitate the provision of a mixed use development in a transit-rich location with residential, retail, open space, parking, and related uses. The SUD will provide benefits to the City including: provision of on-site affordable housing units at a levels of affordability exceeding City requirements; replacement of existing Residential Hotel Units with modern, on-site units at a replacement ratio exceeding the requirements of Chapter 41 of the Administrative Code, the Residential

Hotel Unit Conversion and Demolition Ordinance; land donation, construction, and maintenance of publicly accessible open space; and improvement of Stevenson Street for pedestrian and automobile use. (c) Controls. Applicable provisions of the Planning Code shall apply to the 1629 Market Street SUD except as otherwise provided in this Section 249.81 . In the event of a conflict between other provisions of the Planning Code and this Section, this Section shall control. (1) Usable Open Space. (A) Amount Required and Phasing. The required square footage of usable open space shall be 36 square feet per dwelling unit. Open space requirements may be met at this ratio with the following types of open space: “private usable open space” as defined in Section 135(a) of this Code; and “common usable open space” as defined in Section 135(a), which may be open to the public. Usable open space has been designed on a SUD-wide basis and the requirements are expected to be met through a combination of private and common spaces associated individual buildings, as well as approximately 8,600 square feet of plaza and mid-block open space that will be developed in accordance with the Development Agreement for the project. Accordingly, compliance with open space requirements shall be evaluated at project buildout on a District-wide (as opposed to building-by-building) basis. (B) Common usable open space that otherwise qualifies as an inner court under Section 135(g)(2) of this Code shall be exempt from the 45-degree requirements of that Section, and projections of portions of adjacent residential structures over such open space shall be considered permitted obstructions under Sections 135(g)(2) and 136 of this Code, provided that each such projection leaves at least 7 1/2 feet of headroom. (2) Narrow Streets and Alleys. Planning Code Section 261.1(d)(1) shall not apply to the following subject frontages: the north side of Chase Court and the west side of Colusa Place; the north side of Colton Street and the east side of Colusa Place; the north side of Stevenson Street; and the east side of Brady Street. Planning Code Section 261.1(d)(2) shall not apply to the following subject frontages: the south side of Colton Street, and the south side of Stevenson Street. (3) Affordable Housing. The following shall apply in lieu of any other inclusionary or affordable housing exactions set forth in this Code: Twelve percent (12%) of all of the residential units constructed on site shall be affordable to residents at or below 100% Area Median Income for the life of the applicable building, except for the approximately 95 to 100 residential units to be constructed on Assessor’s Parcel Block No. 3505, Lots 27 and 28, referred to as the Colton Street Building, which shall be affordable to residents at or below 60% Area Median Income for the life of the building. As a result, the project will achieve approximately twenty eight percent (28%) affordability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Developer may satisfy all or a portion of the twelve percent inclusionary requirements through the application of affordable housing credits as set forth in the Development Agreement.

In the event that the Stack collapses or is otherwise damaged beyond repair, permitted heights shall be those applicable to open space. Should Unit 3 be demolished, the height limit for Block 9 shall be 125/85 feet, as set forth on Sectional Map HT08 of the Zoning Map and as further limited and detailed in Figure 249.87-4. Figure 249.87-4: Building Heights Maximum (4) Bulk. The following bulk controls, summarized in Table 249.87-3, apply only to building heights greater than 145 feet: the Upper Buildings of the midrise towers on Block 1, and the highrise towers on Blocks 5 and 7. For purposes of this subsection a midrise tower is a building between 146 and 180 feet in height and a highrise tower is a building between 181 and 240 feet in height. Unless otherwise stated, these controls do not apply to Block 15 with or without Station A. (A) The maximum average Floorplate of the Upper Building is defined as the sum of the area of all of the Floorplates of the Upper Building, divided by the number of floors in the Upper Building. (B) The Maximum Plan Dimension of an Upper Building is the greatest plan dimension parallel to the longest side of the building at any given level of the Upper Building. The Maximum Diagonal Dimension of an Upper Building is the greatest horizontal distance between two opposing points at any level of the Upper Building. Maximum Plan and Maximum Diagonal Dimension do not apply to balconies, cornices, decorative Projections, unenclosed building elements, or other unenclosed obstructions permitted by Planning Code Section 136. (C) The Maximum Apparent Face shall be a maximum of 120 feet of the Upper Building. The Maximum Apparent Face shall be offset with a change in plane of at least five feet in depth. This change in plane must be accompanied by a change in height of the roof form (which may be a reduction or increase in the height of the roof screen) of at least five feet and/or a change in material. The required change in plane may occur by curving the face of the building. (D) For buildings with curved façades, on those portions of the façade that are curved, the Maximum Apparent Face shall be measured as the plan dimension between the end points of each arc. If the building is a circle or ellipse, the Maximum Apparent Face shall be measured as the longest diameter of the circle or ellipse. (E) For Block 15 without Station A, the building above the 65-foot setback shall achieve a 15% average reduction in square footage for all floors. The reduction shall apply relative to a baseline floorplate of 47,089 square feet (i.e. the footprint of Station A) for construction up to 145 feet and a baseline floorplate of 24,955 square feet for construction between 145 feet and 160 feet. (F) Sculpting of Vertical Addition to Station A on Block 15. New construction of a vertical addition to Station A on Block 15 is subject to the building height maximums for Block 15 shown on Figure 249.87-4, and shall achieve a 15% reduction in overall exterior volume for all mass above the existing Station A walls. The reduction shall apply relative to a baseline floorplate of 47,089 square feet (i.e. the footprint of Station A) for construction up to a height of 145 feet, and a baseline floorplate of 24,955 square feet for construction between 145 feet and 160 feet in height. (i) Assuming the existing Station A walls are an average of 65 feet in height, the overall volume allowed above shall be calculated as follows:

A Floorplate up to 145' x height between Station A walls and 145' = volume A 47,089 square feet x 80 feet = 3,767,120 cubic feet B Floorplate above 145' x height above 145' = volume B 24,955 square feet x 15 feet = 374,325 cubic feet C A + B = total volume 3,767,120 cubic feet + 374,325 cubic feet = 4,141,445 cubic feet D C x 0.85 = maximum buildable volume 4,141,445 cubic feet x 0.85 = 3,520,228 cubic feet E C x 0.15 = required volumetric reduction 4,141,445 cubic feet x 0.15 = 621,217 cubic feet

(ii) The 15% reduction may be achieved by providing setbacks, a Vertical Hyphen, or a combination of these or other sculpting strategies. Where a Vertical Hyphen is utilized as a

design element, it shall be at least 10 feet in depth and at least one story in height beginning at the height of the cornice of the existing walls of Station A. (iii) A project applicant may request and the Planning Director may grant a waiver from the 15% reduction requirement if the Planning Director determines that new construction on Block 15 above the height of the Station A walls demonstrates superior design quality consistent with the provisions of this Section 249.87 and with the following sculpting purposes: a. Differentiation in mass from the existing Station A structure below; b. Reduction in mass to ensure that development on Block 15 does not overwhelm adjacent open spaces and sensitively responds to its immediate context, including adjacent structures, streets, open spaces, and to the existing walls of Station A itself, and; c. Sculpting of the mass with an architectural expression that distinguishes Block 15 as a high-quality, character-defining element of the site’s urban design.

(iv) Projections in new construction above the existing Station A walls are permitted per Planning Code Section 136 for Streets, Alleys, and Useable Open Space, except that such projections shall be measured from the outer face of the existing Station A wall that faces a street, alley, or open space. (v) To allow for the possibility of a design response that results in a superior design consistent with the provisions of this Section 249.87, particularly Section 249.87(h)(4)(F)(iii), the Planning Director may approve projections on the eastern wall of Station A (facing Louisiana Paseo and Power Station Park) that deviate from Planning Code Section 136 provided that no projection extends farther than 10 feet beyond the outer face of the existing Station A walls, and projections are limited to no more than 25% of the square footage of the building face above the existing Station A walls.

(a) General. A special use district entitled the “2500-2530 18th Street Affordable Housing Special Use District” consisting of Assessor’s Parcel Block No. 4014, Lots Nos. 002 and 002A, is hereby established for the purposes set forth below. The boundaries of the 2500-2530 18th Street Affordable Housing Special Use District are designated on Sectional Map No. SU08 of the Zoning Map. (b) Purpose. The purpose of this special use district is to facilitate the development of affordable housing at the site. The site is owned by the Homeless Prenatal Program (HPP), a family resource center that has been offering comprehensive family services since 1989. With a mission to break the cycle of family poverty and homelessness, HPP’s work focuses on families as they start to ensure they are healthy, stable, and housed. As of February 2021, HPP had a large staff of close to 100, half of whom were former clients or came from the community it serves. HPP has often been recognized for its work in the community. HPP receives generous support from the City and County of San Francisco and has contracts with various City departments, including the Mayor’s Office of Housing and Community Development, the Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing, and the Department of Human Services. HPP has been located in a building at 2500 18th Street since 2005 and in June 2020 acquired an adjoining lot at 2530 18th Street to further facilitate its mission. Fulfillment of

HPP's mission at 2500 18th Street and 2530 18th Street requires a change of the zoning designation for those properties to the Urban Mixed Use (UMU) zoning district, the same zoning designation as the remainder of Assessor's Block 4014. (c) Use Controls. In this special use district, all newly constructed dwelling units, with the permissive exception of the manager’s unit, shall be affordable to households with an annual income between 0 and 80% of the Area Median Income (as defined in Section 401), for a term no less than 55 years. All applicable provisions of the Planning Code shall continue to apply to this special use district, except as otherwise provided in this Section 249.91.

In the Chinatown Community Business District, the Chinatown Visitor Retail District and the Chinatown Residential Neighborhood Commercial Districts established by the use provisions of Articles 2 and 8 of this Code, in order to insure consideration of sun access on adjacent public sidewalk as specified in Section 132.3, whenever a height limit of more than 35 feet is prescribed by the Height and Bulk District in which the property is located, any building or structure exceeding 35 feet shall be permitted only upon approval of a conditional use by the City Planning Commission, according to procedures for conditional use approval in Section 303 of this Code. (Added by Ord. 131-87, App. 4/24/87) SEC. 260. HEIGHT LIMITS: MEASUREMENT. (See Interpretations related to this Section.) (a) Method of Measurement. The limits upon the height of buildings and structures shall be as specified on the Zoning Map, except as permitted by Section 206. In the measurement of height, the following rules shall be applicable: (1) The point above which such measurements shall be taken shall be as specified as follows. (A) In the case of either subsection (a)(1)(B) or (C) below, such point shall be taken at the centerline of the building or, where the building steps laterally in relation to a street that is the basis for height measurement, separate points shall be taken at the centerline of each building step. (B) Where the lot is level with or slopes downward from a street at the centerline of the building or building step, such point shall be taken at curb level on such a street. This point shall be used for height measurement only for a lot depth not extending beyond a line 100 feet from and parallel to such street, or beyond a line equidistant between such street and the street on the opposite side of the block, whichever depth is greater. Measurement of height for any portion of the lot extending beyond such line shall be considered in relation to the opposite (lower) end of the lot, and that portion shall be considered an upward sloping lot in accordance with subsection (a)(1)(C) below, whether or not the lot also has frontage on a lower street. (C) Where the lot slopes upward from a street at the centerline of the building or building step, such point shall be taken at curb level for purposes of measuring the height of the closest part of the building within 10 feet of the property line of such street; at every other cross-section of the building, at right angles to the centerline of the building or building step, such point shall be taken as the average of the ground elevations at either side of the building or building step at that cross-section. The ground elevations used shall be either existing elevations or the elevations resulting from new grading operations encompassing an entire block. Elevations beneath the building shall be taken by projecting a straight line between ground elevations at the exterior walls at either side of the entire building in the same plane. (D) Where the lot has frontage on two or more streets, the owner may choose the street or streets from which the measurement of height is to be taken, within the scope of the rules stated above. Where the height limits for buildings and structures are established by this Code, the upper points to be taken for measurement of height shall be as prescribed in the provisions relating to such height limits. (2) The upper point to which such measurement shall be taken shall be the highest point on the finished roof in the case of a flat roof, and the average height of the rise in the case of a pitched or stepped roof, or similarly sculptured roof form, or any higher point of a feature not exempted under subsection (b) below. For any building taller than 550 feet in height in the S-2 Bulk District, the height of the building shall be measured at the upper point of all features of the building and exempted features in such cases shall be limited to only those permitted in subsection (b)(1)(M) and which are permitted by the Planning Commission according to the procedures of Section 309. (3) In cases where the height limit is 65 feet or less and a street from which height measurements are made slopes laterally along the lot, or the ground slopes laterally on a lot that also slopes upward from the street, there shall be a maximum width for the portion of the building or structure that may be measured from a single point at curb or ground level, according to the definition of "height," as specified in the following table. These requirements shall not apply to any property to which the bulk limitations in Section 270 of this Code are applicable. (4) The following requirements shall apply to all parcels within the R-4 Height and Bulk District, at or below 85 feet. In cases where the height limit is 85 feet or less and a street from which height measurements are made slopes laterally along the lot, or the ground slopes laterally on a lot that also slopes upward from the street, there shall be a maximum width for the portion of the building or structure that may be measured from a single poi

arcels within the R-4 Height and Bulk District, at or below 85 feet. In cases where the height limit is 85 feet or less and a street from which height measurements are made slopes laterally along the lot, or the ground slopes laterally on a lot that also slopes upward from the street, there shall be a maximum width for the portion of the building or structure that may be measured from a single point at curb or ground level, according to the definition of “height” as specified in the following table. These requirements shall not apply to any property to which the bulk limitations in Sections 270 through 270.3 of this Code are applicable.

(b) Exemptions. In addition to other height exceptions permitted by this Code, the features listed in this subsection (b) shall be exempt from the height limits established by this Code, in an amount up to but not exceeding that which is specified. (1) The following features shall be exempt provided the limitations indicated for each are observed; and provided further that the sum of the horizontal areas of all features listed in this subsection (b)(1) shall not exceed 30% of the horizontal area of the roof above which they are situated, or, in C-3 Districts and in the Rincon Hill Downtown Residential District, where the top of the building has been separated into a number of stepped elements to reduce the bulk of the upper tower, of the total of all roof areas of the upper towers; and provided further that in any R, RC-3, or RC-4 District the sum of the horizontal areas of all such features located within the first 10 feet of depth of the building, as measured from the front wall of the building, shall not exceed 20% of the horizontal area of the roof in such first 10 feet of depth. As an alternative, the sum of the horizontal areas of all features listed in this subsection (b)(1) may be equal to but not exceed 30% of the horizontal area permitted for buildings and structures under any bulk limitations in Section 270 of this Code applicable to the subject property. Any such sum of 30% heretofore described may be increased to 40% by unroofed screening designed either to obscure the features listed under (A) and (B) below or to provide a more balanced and graceful silhouette for the top of the building or structure. (A) Mechanical equipment and appurtenances necessary to the operation or maintenance of the building or structure itself, including chimneys, ventilators, plumbing vent stacks, cooling towers, water tanks, panels or devices for the collection of solar or wind energy, and window-washing equipment, together with visual screening for any such features. This exemption shall be limited to the top 16 feet of such features where the height limit is 65 feet or less, and the top 20 feet of such features where the height limit is more than 65 feet. In C-3 districts, for existing buildings whose height exceeds the permitted height limit, these exempted features shall be measured from the existing roofline instead of the height limit. (B) Elevator, stair and mechanical penthouses, fire towers, skylights, and dormer windows. This exemption shall be limited to the top 16 feet of such features where the height limit is 65 feet or less, and the top 20 feet of such features where the height limit is more than 65 feet. However, for elevator penthouses, the exemption shall be limited to the top 16 feet and limited to the footprint of the elevator shaft, regardless of the height limit of the building. The design of all elevator penthouses in Residential Districts shall be consistent with the “Residential Design Guidelines” as adopted and periodically amended for specific areas or conditions by the Planning Commission. In C-3 districts, for existing buildings whose height exceeds the permitted height limit, these exempted features shall be measured from the existing roofline instead of the height limit. The Zoning Administrator may, after conducting a public hearing, grant a further height exemption for an elevator penthouse for a building with a height limit of more than 65 feet but only to the extent that the Zoning Administrator determines that such an exemption is required to meet state or federal laws or regulations. All requests for height exemptions for elevator penthouses located in Residential or Neighborhood Commercial Districts shall be subject to the neighborhood notification requirements of Section 311 of this Code. (C) Stage and scenery lofts. (D) Ornamental and symbolic fea- tures of public and religious buildings and struc- tures, including towers, spires, cupolas, belfries and domes, where such features are not used for human occupancy.

ADDITIONAL HEIGHT LIMITS APPLICABLE TO CERTAIN RH DISTRICTS.

(See Interpretations related to this Section.) (a) General. Notwithstanding any other height limit established by this Article 2.5 to the contrary, the height of dwellings in certain use districts established by Article 2 of this Code shall be further limited by this Section 261. The measurement of such height shall be as prescribed by Section 260. (b) Height Limits Applicable to the Entire Property. (1) No portion of a dwelling in any RH-1(D), RH-1 or RH-1(S) District shall exceed a height of 35 feet, except that: (A) The permitted Height of a Building, as defined in Section 102, shall be increased to 40 feet, as measured at curb per Section 260, where the average ground elevation at the rear line of the lot is higher by 20 or more feet than at the front line thereof;

(B) The permitted height shall be reduced to 30 feet where the average ground elevation at the rear line of the lot is lower by 20 or more feet than at the front line thereof; and

(C) The permitted height shall be reduced to 25 feet where the average ground elevation at the rear line of the lot is lower by 40 or more feet than at the front line thereof.
(2) No portion of a dwelling in any RH-2 District shall exceed a height of 40 feet, except that the permitted height shall be reduced to 35 feet where the average ground elevation at the

rear line of the lot is lower by 20 or more feet than at the front line thereof. (c) Height Limits Applicable to Front Portion of the Property. Except in cases where the average ground elevation at the rear line of the lot is higher by 20 or more feet than at the front line thereof, the following additional height limits shall apply to the front portion of properties containing dwellings in all RH-1(D), RH-1, RH-1(S) and RH-2 Districts: (1) Basic Requirement. The height limit shall be 30 feet at the front lot line or, where the lot is subject to a legislated setback line or required front setback as described in Section 131 or Section 132 of this Code, then at such setback; and shall increase at an angle of 45 degrees from the horizontal toward the rear of the lot until the height limit prescribed by Subsection (b) above is reached.

(2) Increase Based Upon Conditions on Adjacent Lots. At the front wall of the building, and at every vertical cross-section of the building, parallel to the front lot line, to which the

limit prescribed by Paragraph (c)(1) above is applicable, said limit shall be increased to the average of the heights of the two adjacent buildings measured in the same vertical plane; or, if there is only one adjacent building, then to the height of the one adjacent building measured in the same vertical plane. For purposes of this provision, an adjacent building shall mean a building on a lot adjoining the subject lot along a side lot line.

NCT, AND EASTERN NEIGHBORHOODS MIXED USE DISTRICTS. (See Interpretations related to this Section.) (a) Purpose. The intimate character of Narrow Streets, as defined in subsection (b), and Alleys is an important and unique component of the City and certain neighborhoods in particular. The scale of these streets should be preserved to ensure they do not become overshadowed or overcrowded. Heights along Alleys and Narrow Streets are hereby limited to provide ample sunlight and air, as follows: (b) Definitions. (1) "Narrow Street" shall be defined as a public right of way less than or equal to 40 feet in width, or any mid-block passage or alley that is less than 40 feet in width created under the requirements of Section 270.2. (2) “Subject Frontage” shall mean: (A) any building frontage in an RH-1(D), RH-1, or RH-1(S) District that abuts a Narrow Street and is more than 20 feet from an intersection with a street wider than 40 feet; or (B) any building frontage in an RH-2, RH-3, RM, RTO, NC, NCT, Van Ness & Market Residential Special Use District, or Eastern Neighborhood Mixed Use District that abuts a Narrow Street and that is more than 60 feet from an intersection with a Street wider than 40 feet. (3) "East-West Narrow Streets" shall mean all Narrow Streets, except those created pursuant to Section 270.2, that are oriented at 45 degrees or less from a true east-west orientation or are otherwise named herein: Elm, Redwood, Ash, Birch, Ivy, Linden, Hickory, Lily, Rose, Laussat, Germania, Clinton Park, Brosnan, Hidalgo, and Alert Streets. (4) “North-South Narrow Streets” shall mean all Narrow Streets, except those created pursuant to Section 270.2, that are oriented at 45 degrees or less from a true north-south orientation. (5) Streets in the South of Market area that are perpendicular to Market Street are considered North-South Streets, and streets that are parallel to Market Street are considered East- West Streets. (c) Applicability. The controls in this Section shall apply in all RH, RM, RTO, NC, NCT, the Van Ness & Market Residential Special Use District, and Eastern Neighborhoods Mixed Use Districts, except in the Bernal Heights Special Use District. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the CS Bulk District these controls shall only apply on certain frontages as described in Section 270(h). (d) Controls. (1) General Requirement. Except as described below, all Subject Frontages shall have upper stories set back at least 10 feet at the property line above a height equivalent to 1.25 times the width of the abutting Narrow Street. Buildings of two stories above grade may be built without a second-story setback, regardless of the width of the street. (2) Southern Side of East-West Narrow Streets. All Subject Frontages on the southerly side of an East-West Narrow Street shall have upper stories which are set back at the property line such that they avoid penetration of a sun access plane defined by an angle of 45 degrees extending from the most directly opposite property line (as illustrated in Figure 261.1A.) No part or feature of a building, including but not limited to any feature listed in Section 260(b), may penetrate the required setback plane. (3) Narrow Streets Controls Within the Central SoMa SUD. (A) Notwithstanding subsection (d)(1) above, buildings of 65 feet or more in height shall not be subject to the 10-foot setback requirement, but instead shall be subject to the Apparent Mass Reduction controls of Section 270(h). (B) Frontages on the westerly side of a North-South Narrow Street shall meet the sun access plane requirements of subsection (d)(2) above. (4) Mid-block Passages. Subject Frontages abutting a mid-block passage provided pursuant to the requirements of Section 270.2 shall have upper story setbacks as follows: (A) for mid-block passages between 20 and 30 feet in width, a setback of not less than 10 feet above a height of 25 feet. (B) for mid-block passages between 30 and 40 feet in width, a setback of not less than 5 feet above a height of 35 feet.

(a) Purpose. Buchanan Street between Post Street and Sutter Street is a pedestrian-only thoroughfare lined with both neighborhood- and regional-serving retail uses. This block of Buchanan Street contains seating areas and culturally significant street furnishings, such as lighting and fountains. As such, it is important to allow for appropriate development heights while also maximizing light and air to the street. (b) Controls. Along Buchanan Street between Post Street and Sutter Street, the portion of any building above 35 feet in height shall be set back one foot in height from the front property line for every foot above 35 feet, except for those exemptions listed in Section 260(b) of this Code.

(a) In the 50-D-1, 80-D-1 and 100-F-1 Height and Bulk Districts as designated on Sectional Map No. 1H of the Zoning Map, height exceptions may be approved by the Planning Commission in appropriate cases as provided herein. (b) Such height exceptions may be permitted provided that the following criteria in addition to those stated in Section 303(c) are met: (1) The height of the building or structure so approved by the Planning Commission shall not exceed 160 feet. (2) The applicant shall demonstrate through solar access studies and shadow studies that the proposed height exceptions would create no additional shading impacts on Chinese Playground from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Standard Time, March 21st to September 21st.

(a) In the 200-E-2 and 300-E-2 Height and Bulk Districts, as designated on Sectional Map No. 1H of the Zoning Map, height exceptions may be approved by the Planning Commission in appropriate cases as provided herein. (b) Such height exceptions may be permitted provided that the following criteria in addition to those stated in Section 303(c) are met: (1) The height of the building or structure so approved by the Planning Commission shall not exceed 320 feet.

(a) In the Chinatown Community Business District, the Chinatown Visitor Retail District and the Chinatown Residential Neighborhood Commercial District, height exceptions to 50-foot or 65-foot height districts may be approved for certain features according to procedures for conditional use approval in Section 303 of this Code. The purpose of allowing the exception is, in the case of corners of buildings, to help define the larger space of the intersection and in the case of parapets to reassert the traditional Chinatown pattern. (b) In addition to requirements of Section 303, such a height exception may be permitted provided that: (1) The structure is on a corner lot and the feature exceeding the height limit consists of a decorative pavilion, sculpture or pagoda which does not exceed 150 square feet in size, or

(2) The additional height is for a decorative parapet similar to those existing in the Chinatown area and does not extend more than eight feet above the height limit. (Added by Ord. 131-87, App. 4/24/87)

(a) General. In the 80-120-T and 80-130-T Height and Bulk Districts, as designated on Sectional Maps No. 1H and No. 2H of the Zoning Map, located within the boundaries of the North of Market Residential Special Use District, as designated on Sectional Map No. 1SUb of the Zoning Map, height exceptions may be approved by the City Planning Commission, pursuant to the provisions set forth below, from the base height of 80 feet up to 120 feet in the 80-120-T District and up to 130 feet in the 80-130-T District. (b) Findings and Purposes. In the 80-120-T and 80-130-T Height and Bulk Districts located within the North of Market Residential Special Use District (NOMRSUD), heights higher than 80 feet would be appropriate in order to effect a transition from the higher downtown heights to the generally lower heights of the existing buildings in the NOMRSUD core area and the Civic Center area and to make more feasible the construction of new housing, provided that development of the site is also consistent with the general purposes of the NOMRSUD as set forth in Section 249.5(b). Because development at heights greater than 80 feet may create pressures on existing affordable housing in the area, it is desirable to ameliorate such pressures by requiring that a portion of the value added to the new development resulting from the granting of a height exception be contributed to a fund established for the purpose of stabilizing, rehabilitating, and retaining existing affordable units in the area. The amount of contribution shall be a reasonable proportion of the value added to the development as a result of the extra building area enabled by the height exception. (c) Procedures. Exceptions from the base height of 80 feet shall be permitted, up to 120 feet in the 80-120-T Height and Bulk District, and up to 130 feet in the 80-130-T Height and Bulk District, only upon approval by the City Planning Commission, according to the procedures for conditional use approval set forth in Section 303 of this Code. (d) Conditions. The Planning Commission shall impose conditions on the approval of applications for conditional use authorization, required pursuant to Section 253 for buildings which exceed 40 feet in height in an R District, if such authorization includes a grant of an exception to the 80-foot base height limit, in order to mitigate the impact that such height exception is likely to have on the existing supply of affordable housing in the area. The condition shall require that the applicant pay a fee to the Controller which shall be deposited in the Citywide Affordable Housing Fund established in Administrative Code Section 10.100-49 (the “Fund”). (e) Fee. The fee required pursuant to subsection (d) above shall be equal to the sum of $5 times the total gross square footage of floor space located above 80 feet in height as determined by the Zoning Administrator, as shown on the building plans. The fee shall be due and payable prior to the issuance of a temporary certificate of occupancy, unless the project sponsor agrees to and qualifies for participation in an amortized payment program, to be established by the Director of the Mayor’s Office of Housing and Community Development (MOHCD) and the Director of City Planning, such program to be subject to subsequent review and approval by the City Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors, which program would result in the City receiving an amount equivalent to the value of the contribution at the time the temporary certificate of occupancy is issued. (f) Procedure Regarding Temporary Permit of Occupancy. The Superintendent of the Bureau of Building Inspection shall provide notice in writing to the Zoning Administrator at least two business days prior to issuing a temporary permit of occupancy for any building subject to the provisions of this Section. If the Zoning Administrator notifies the Superintendent of the Bureau of Building Inspection within such time that the provisions of this Section have not been complied with, the Superintendent shall deny the temporary permit. If the Zoning Administrator notifies the Superintendent that the provisions of this Section have been complied with or fails to respond within two business days, the temporary permit of occupancy shall not be disapproved pursuant to this Section. (g) Citywide Affordable Housing Fund. All fees collected by the Controller pursuant to this Section 263.7 shall be deposited in the Fund, but the fees shall be separately accounted for and expended by MOHCD as provided in this Section. All fees collected under this Section and deposited in the Fund shall be used solely to stabilize, rehabilitate, and retain affordable housing in the North of Market Residential Special Use District. No fees collected under this Section may be used, by way of loan or otherwise, to pay any administrative, general overhead, or similar expense of any entity except for servicing cost related to participation in the amortized payment program. (h) Rules and Regulations for Implementation. The Director of MOHCD and the Director of City Planning shall prepare and submit to the Planning Commission and the Board of Supervisors for review and approval such rules and regulations as may be necessary for the implementation of this Section. The Director of MOHCD and the Director of City Planning shall further propose such amendments or additions to the rules and regulations that he or she determines to be necessary. Such amendments and additions shall include periodic revision of the fee to reflect current conditions.

(a) In the 80-130-F and 80-130-X Height and Bulk District as designated on Sectional Map No. 1H of the Zoning Map, exceptions to the 80 foot height limit up to 130 feet may be approved in appropriate cases in accordance with the provisions of Section 309. The purpose of allowing additional height above 80 feet only as an exception is to ensure that height above 80 feet will not adversely affect the scale of the affected area or block sunlight access to public sidewalks and parks. (b) Such height exceptions may be permitted provided that: (1) The height of the building or structure does not exceed 130 feet; and (2) The additional height will not add significant shadows on public sidewalks and parks; and (3) The structure provides an appropriate transition to adjacent higher or lower buildings; and (4) The additional height of the structure is set back an appropriate distance from the street frontage to maintain continuity of the predominant streetwall on the block. (Added by Ord. 414-85, App. 9/17/85)

(a) In S Districts, additional height up to 10 percent of the heights shown on Maps 1H, 2H and 7H of the Zoning Map may be allowed as an extension of the upper tower, provided that the volume of the upper tower as extended is reduced by the percentage shown in Chart C of Section 271 of this Code. (b) This additional height may be allowed pursuant to the provisions of Section 309 only to the extent it is determined that the upper tower volume is distributed in a way that will add significantly to the sense of slenderness of the building and to the visual interest to the termination of the building, and that the added height will improve the appearance of the sky-line when viewed from a distance, will not adversely affect light and air to adjacent properties, and will not add significant shadows to public open spaces.

(a) General. In the 65N-85N Height and Bulk District, as designated on Sectional Map No. 1H of the Zoning Map, located within the boundaries of the Chinatown Residential Neighborhood Commercial District, height exceptions may be approved above the 65-foot base height to a maximum of 85 feet, in accordance with the conditional use procedures and

criteria provided in Section 303 of this Code and with the criteria and conditions set forth in subsection (c) below. (1) When the developer of housing (a Dwelling Unit or Group Housing) agrees to construct 25% of the total units of a housing or mixed use development for persons and families of middle income as defined in Section 401 and such units shall remain affordable to such households for 30 years. (2) When the developer of housing agrees to construct 10% of the total units of a housing or mixed use development for persons or families of low income as defined in Section 401 and such units shall remain affordable to such households for 30 years. (3) When floor area at least equal to that permitted above the 65-foot base height will be occupied by medical or social services primarily directed to low-income persons or families and provision of space for such services is included in an approved Institutional Master Plan pursuant to Section 304.5 of this Code. (b) Findings and Purposes. In this district, heights higher than 65 feet would encourage the construction of additional low-rent dwellings to serve housing and other needs in the City, or provision of services to low-income households provided that the structure does not adversely affect a building identified as having individual architectural and historical significance and is designed to reduce shadows on public sidewalks and parks, to reduce adverse wind impacts to adjacent uses, to provide an appropriate height transition to adjacent higher or lower buildings, and to otherwise satisfy subsection (c) below and the conditional use criteria of this Code, and would benefit the public. (c) Conditions. (1) The Planning Commission shall impose conditions on the approval of additional height pursuant to this subsection (c) to mitigate the impact that such height may have on adjacent uses and property and to assure the enforceability and enforcement of housing affordability and use provisions, which shall include, but need not be limited to, a requirement that each housing unit of an approved structure remain affordable to households of low or middle income for a period of not less than 30 years from the date of the first recording of a deed of trust provided that such unit is in conformity with subsection (c)(2) below and Section 413. (2) The permit applicant shall designate housing units, which may be above or below the 65-foot base height limit, which shall be affordable to those households specified in subsection (a). Prior to the issuance by the Director of the Department of Building Inspection of a site or building permit to construct any designated unit subject to this Section 263.12, the permit applicant shall notify the Director of Planning and the Director of Property in writing whether the unit will be an owned or rental unit as defined in Section 401 of this Code. (3) Within 60 days after the issuance by the Director of the Department of Building Inspection of a site or building permit for construction of any unit intended to be an owned unit, the Director of Planning shall notify the City Engineer in writing identifying the intended owned unit, and the Director of Property shall appraise the fair market value of such unit as of the date of the appraisal, applying accepted valuation methods, and deliver a written appraisal of the unit to the Director of Planning and the permit applicant. The permit applicant shall supply all information to the Director of Property necessary to appraise the unit, including all plans and specifications. (4) Each designated unit shall be subject to the provisions of Section 413 of this Code. For purposes of this subsection (c) and the application of Section 413 of this Code to designated units constructed pursuant to this subsection (c), the definitions set forth in Sections 401 and 413 shall apply.

Development controls, including height and bulk, in the "TB" bulk district are governed by the Development Controls and Design Guidelines for the Transbay Redevelopment Project document and companion documents as part of the Transbay Redevelopment Plan as approved by the Planning Commission on December 9, 2004 and January 13, 2005. Building heights, locations, setbacks, and bulk limits are specifically established in these documents. Building heights associated with bulk designation "TB" on Sectional Map No. 1H of the Zoning Map are generalized, and describe a range of building heights per block, with the largest number describing the maximum tower height per block, and the smallest number describing the lowest maximum building height per block. (Ord. 94-06, File No. 050182, App. 5/19/2006) Editor's Note: After the addition of this section to the Code, Ord. 72-08, approved 4/30/2008, enacted a new section with the same number as this section. That new section was redesignated 263.20 by the editor.

(a) This Section 263.19(a) shall apply to R Bulk Districts, except for the R-4 Height and Bulk District. (1) Intent. The general development concept for R Bulk Districts is of podium buildings that vary from 65 to 170 feet in height depending on the district and location, with adequately spaced slender towers up to 650 feet in height rising above the podium buildings. (2) Maximum Height Controls for Podiums and Towers. In the R, R-2, and R-3 bulk districts as designated on Sectional Map No. HT01, HT02, and HT07 of the Zoning Map, maximum permitted building heights for both podiums and towers are expressed as two numbers separated by a slash. The number preceding the slash represents the height limit for podium buildings. The number following the slash represents the height limit for towers. No building may exceed the podium height limit except for towers meeting the bulk and tower spacing controls established in Section 270(e) and (f). (3) Maximum Height Controls for Podiums and Towers in the R-2 Bulk District and the Van Ness & Market Residential Special Use District. In the R-2 bulk district and within the Van Ness & Market Residential Special Use District, maximum permitted building heights for both podiums and towers are expressed as two sets of numbers separated by a double slash in the format described above, in subsection (a)(2). Each set of numbers represents the maximum heights for podium and tower applicable to the parcel and as regulated per subsection (a)(2) above as follows: The first set of numbers represents the principally permitted height limits for the parcel, both for the podium and for the tower. The second set of numbers after the double slash represents the maximum height limits for podium and tower that can be granted by the Planning Commission for that parcel through an exception pursuant to the procedures and findings of Section 309(a)(17). (b) This Section 263.19(b) shall apply to the R-4 Height and Bulk District. (1) Intent. The general development concept for the R-4 Height and Bulk District is for buildings that vary in height depending on the location, and in some locations providing for adequately spaced slender towers rising above the podiums of lower height(s). In addition to establishing bulk controls for all buildings in the district as further described in Section 270(i), the R-4 district implements the Housing Choice-San Francisco (HC-SF) program by providing for a secondary height limit for projects using the HC-SF Program per Section 206.10. (2) Maximum Height Controls for the HC-SF Program. In the R-4 Height and Bulk District, as designated on Sectional Maps Nos. HT01, 02, 03, 04, 05, 06, 07, 11, 12, and 13 of the Zoning Map, the permitted building heights are expressed as two sets of numbers separated by a double slash. Preceding the double slash is the permitted building height limit for projects not using the HC-SF Program. Following the double slash is the height limit for projects using the HC-SF Program per Section 206.10. Where there is a set of two numbers separated by a single slash, the number preceding the single slash is the maximum height for podium buildings and the number following the single slash is the maximum tower height subject to the bulk and tower spacing controls of Section 270(i). The following represents an example of height limits subject to both podium and tower controls, and high limits for projects not using the HC-SF Program and projects using the HC-SF Program.

Ordinance 72-08, approved 4/30/2008, enacted new sections designated 263.18 and 263.20. The editor redesignated those two sections as this Sec. 263.20 and Sec. 263.22, respectively. This section subsequently has been amended under its current number by multiple ordinances, as documented in the history note above. After the addition of this section to the Code, Ord. 200-08, approved 8/22/2008, enacted a new section with the same number as this section. That new section was redesignated and codified as Sec. 263.23 by the editor.

DISTRICTS. (a) Purpose. In order to allow for vertical architectural elements on large lots which will mitigate the effect of long, monotonous individual buildings and create visual focal points that build upon the architectural tradition and character of an area, certain architectural elements may be excepted from otherwise applicable height limits. The mostly topographically flat Eastern Neighborhoods, particularly the South or Market, Showplace, and Mission Districts have a strong tradition of larger and longer buildings incorporating vertical architectural elements above the predominant roofline. These vertical elements are proportioned to the building and are generally not visible on the skyline or distant views. (b) Applicability. This Section shall apply to all projects subject to Section 329 in the Eastern Neighborhoods Mixed Use Districts which are also located in Height and Bulk Districts of 85 feet or less. (c) Controls. Additional height for non-habitable architectural building elements, as illustrated in Figure 263.21, may be permitted subject to the 329 procedure for exemptions subject to the following criteria: (1) Only one such element shall be permitted per lot; (2) Such element shall not exceed 1,000 square feet in gross floor area; (3) Such element shall not have a plan dimension greater than 50 feet; (4) The height of such element shall not exceed a height equal to 50 percent of the applicable height limit; and (5) Such elements shall be consistent with the design, materials and character of the building.

(a) General. In the Hunters View Special Use District and the 40/65-X Height and Bulk District, exceptions to the 40-foot base height up to 65 feet may be approved by the Planning Commission, in appropriate cases, as part of a Planned Unit Development, and as provided herein. (b) Purpose. The San Francisco Housing Authority, in partnership with the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency, proposes to demolish the existing public housing on the Hunters View site and to develop a mixture of public housing, affordable rental and ownership housing, and market-rate housing to replace it. It is anticipated that the project will be developed in multiple phases. Proceeds from the sale of the market rate units will be used to cross-collateralize the construction of the public housing and rental units. In order to achieve a successful program, the density of the Hunters View site will be increased from 267 units to up to 800 units. Due to the difficult topography of the site, such density cannot be achieved without an increase in the height limit for the site. (c) Height Exceptions. Such height exceptions may be permitted provided that the following criteria, in addition to those stated in Section 303(c), are met: (1) The height of the building or structure so approved by the Planning Commission does not exceed 65 feet. (2) The principal use of the building or structure for which the additional height is sought is residential. (3) The additional height will not add significant shadows on property under the jurisdiction of the Recreation and Park Commission pursuant to Section 295. (4) The development as a whole, and any building or structure that is over 40 feet, provides an appropriate transition to adjacent higher or lower buildings or structures. (5) No more than 35% of the gross area of the site will contain buildings or structures exceeding 50 feet in height and no more than 50% of the gross area of the site will contain buildings or structures exceeding 40 feet in height, as measured pursuant to Section 304(d)(6). Building heights in excess of 40 feet shall only be allowed in accordance with a Design for Development or other design guidelines approved by the Planning Commission as a part of a Planned Unit Development. Where such a Design for Development or other design guidelines is approved as part of a Planned Unit Development and provides more stringent restrictions on the amount of site area that can contain buildings over 40 feet than set forth in this subsection (5), the said Design for Development or design guidelines shall govern.

(b) These limits shall not apply to the buildings, structures and equipment listed in Section 260(b)(2) (K), (L), (M) and (N) of this Code, subject to the limitations expressed therein. (c) Maximum plan lengths and diagonal dimensions do not apply to cornices or other decorative projections. (d) The bulk limits contained in this subsection shall apply in S and S-2 Bulk Districts as designated on Sectional Map Nos. 1H, 2H and 7H of the Zoning Map. (1) Base. The base is the lowest portion of the building extending vertically to a streetwall height up to 1.25 times the width of the widest abutting street or 50 feet, whichever is more. There are no length or diagonal dimension limitations applicable to the base. The building base shall be delineated from the lower and upper tower and related to abutting buildings by a setback, cornice line or equivalent projection or other appropriate means. In the C-3-O(SD) District additional requirements for building base and streetwall articulation and setbacks are described in Section 132.1. (2) Lower Tower. (A) Dimensions. Bulk controls for the lower tower apply to that portion of the building height above the base as shown on Chart B. For buildings of less than 160 feet in height, the lower tower controls are the only bulk controls above the base of the building. The bulk controls for the lower tower are a maximum length of 160 feet, a maximum floor size of 20,000 square feet, and a maximum diagonal dimension of 190 feet.

(B) Additional Bulk for Elevators. Solely in order to accommodate additional elevators required by tall buildings the lower portion (up to the height shown on Chart B) of the lower

tower of a building 500 feet tall or taller may be enlarged up to a maximum length of 190 feet, a maximum diagonal dimension of 230 feet and a maximum floor size of up to 25,000 square feet without a corresponding reduction in upper floor size. (3) Upper Tower. (A) Dimensions. Upper tower bulk controls apply to buildings taller than 160 feet. They apply to the upper tower portion of a building up to the height shown on Chart B, which height excludes the vertical attachment and other features exempted by Section 260 and excludes the extended upper tower height exceptions provided for in Section 263.7 of this Code. The bulk controls for the upper tower are: a maximum length of 130 feet; a maximum average floor size of 12,000 square feet; a maximum floor size for any floor of 17,000 square feet; and a maximum average diagonal measure of 160 feet. In determining the average floor size of the upper tower, areas with a cross-sectional area of less than 4,000 square feet may not be counted and sculptured architectural forms that contain large volumes of space but no usable floors shall be included in average floor size calculation by computing the cross section at 12.5- foot intervals. (B) Volume Reduction. When the average floor size of the lower tower exceeds 5,000 square feet, the volume of the upper tower shall be reduced to a percentage of the volume that would occur if the average floor size of the lower tower were extended to the proposed building height. The percentage varies with the bulk of the lower tower and with whether or not a height extension is employed pursuant to Section 263.7 and is shown on Chart C. In achieving the required volume reduction, a setback or change in profile at a specific elevation is not required. (C) Extensions. Extension of the upper tower above the otherwise allowable height limits may be permitted as provided in Section 263.9. (D) Termination of the Tower. The top of the tower shall be massed in a manner that will create a visually distinctive roof or other termination of the building facade. Modifications to a proposed project may be required, in the manner provided in Section 309, to achieve this purpose. (4) Buildings Taller than 650 Feet in the S-2 Bulk District. For buildings taller than 650 feet in height in the S-2 Bulk District, the following controls shall apply in lieu of the controls of subsections (1)-(3): (A) Lower Tower. There are no bulk controls for the lower tower except as required by Section 132.1. The lower tower for such buildings shall be defined as the bottom two-thirds of the building from sidewalk grade to roof of the uppermost occupied floor. (B) Upper Tower. The average floor size of the upper tower shall not exceed 75 percent of the average floor size of the lower tower, and the average diagonal dimension shall not exceed 87 percent of the average diagonal dimension of the lower tower. (i) In determining the average floor size and average diagonal of the upper tower, unoccupied architectural elements permitted according to Section 260(b)(1)(M), except for levels consisting of singular spires with a diagonal in cross-section of less than 18 feet, may be included in the calculations if the Planning Commission determines, according to the procedures of Section 309, that such unoccupied architectural elements produce a distinct visual tapering of the building as intended by the controls of subsection (B) and create an elegant profile for the upper tower from key public vantage points throughout the City and beyond. In calculating the floor size and diagonal of such architectural elements, a cross section floor proscribed by the most distant outside points of all elements shall be assumed at 12.5-foot intervals. (e) Rincon Hill and South Beach. In Bulk District R (Rincon Hill and South Beach DTR Districts), bulk limitations are as follows: (1) There are no bulk limits below the podium height as described in Section 263.19, except for the lot coverage limitations and setback requirements described in Sections 825 and 827.

(2) Tower Bulk and Spacing. All portions of structures above the podium height as described in Section 263.19 shall meet the following bulk limitations, as illustrated in Chart C. (A) Buildings between the podium height limit and 240 feet in height may not exceed a plan length of 90 feet and a diagonal dimension of 120 square feet. (B) Buildings between 241 and 300 feet in height may not exceed a plan length of 100 feet and a diagonal dimension of 125 feet, and may not exceed a maximum average floor area of 8,500 gross square feet. (C) Buildings between 301 and 350 feet in height may not exceed a plan length of 115 feet and a diagonal dimension of 145 feet. They may not exceed a maximum average floor area of 9,000 gross square feet. (D) Buildings between 351 and 550 feet in height may not exceed a plan length of 115 feet and a diagonal dimension of 145 feet. They may not exceed a maximum average floor area of 10,000 gross square feet. (E) To allow variety in the articulation of towers, the floor plates of individual floors may exceed the maximums described above by as much as 5 percent, provided the maximum average floor plate is met. (F) To encourage tower sculpting, the gross floor area of the top one-third of the tower shall be reduced by 10 percent from the maximum floor plates described in (A) - (D) above, unless the overall tower floor plate is reduced by an equal or greater volume. (G) In order to provide adequate sunlight and air to streets and open spaces, a minimum distance of 115 feet must be preserved between all structures above 110 feet in height at all levels above 110 feet in height. Spacing shall be measured horizontally from the outside surface of the exterior wall of the subject building to the nearest point on the closest structure above 110 feet in height. Any project that is permitted pursuant to the exception described in Section 270(e)(3) shall not be considered for the purposes of measuring tower spacing pursuant to this Section. (H) The procedures for granting special exceptions to bulk limits described in Section 271 shall not apply; exceptions may be granted pursuant to Sections 270(e)(3) and 270(e)(4). (I) Additional setback, lot coverage, and design requirements for the DTR Districts are described in Sections 825, 827, 828 and 829. (3) Exceptions to tower spacing and upper tower sculpting requirements in Rincon Hill DTR. An exception to the 115 feet tower spacing requirement and the upper tower sculpting requirement described in (e)(2)(F) and (G) above may be granted to a project only on Block 3747 on a lot formed by the merger of part or all of Lots 001E, 002 and 006, pursuant to the procedures described in 309.1 of this Code provided that projects meet the following criteria: (A) Applications for environmental review and conditional use related to a building above 85 feet in height on the subject lot have been filed with the Department prior to March 1, 2003 and February 1, 2005, respectively; (B) Given the 115 tower spacing requirement described in (G) above, the existence of an adjacent building greater than 85 feet in height precludes the development of a tower on the subject lot; (C) The subject lot has a total area of no less than 35,000 square feet; (D) The proposed project is primarily residential and has an area of no more than 528,000 gross square feet; (E) The proposed project conforms to all other controls described or referenced in Section 827 and any other controls in this Code related to the Rincon Hill DTR District. (F) For the purposes of subsection (D) above, the term "gross square feet" shall be the sum of the gross areas of all floors of a building or buildings above street grade measured from the exterior faces of exterior walls or from the center lines of walls separating two buildings, excluding area below street grade. Where columns are outside and separated from an exterior wall (curtain wall) which encloses the building space or are otherwise so arranged that the curtain wall is clearly separated from the structural members, the exterior face of the curtain wall shall be the line of measurement, and the area of the columns themselves at each floor shall also be counted. (4) Allowance for limited reduction in spacing from existing towers in Rincon Hill DTR. To allow limited variation in tower placement from towers for which a certificate of occupancy has been issued prior to February 1, 2005, a reduction in tower spacing described in (e)(2)(G) above may be granted pursuant to the procedures described in 309.1 of this Code if all the following criteria are met: (A) For every percent reduction from the maximum average floor area as described in (2) above, an equal percent reduction in tower separation may be granted subject to the following limits: (i) Up to a height of one-and-one-half times the maximum permitted podium height, tower spacing described in (e)(2)(G) above may be reduced by not more than 15 percent; (ii) up to a height of 180 feet, tower spacing described in (e)(2)(G) above may be reduced by not more than 10 percent; and (iii) all floors above 180 feet achieve the full 115-foot minimum tower spacing requirement described in (e)(2)(G) above. A project may average the tower separation of all floors below 180 feet so long as the requirements of (ii) and (iii) herein are satisfied.

THE EASTERN NEIGHBORHOODS MIXED USE DISTRICTS. (a) Purpose. There is a disproportionately high number of large lots in historically industrial and mixed-use areas, particularly in the South of Market, Showplace Square, Mission and Central Waterfront areas, which could be developed with long, monotonous and massive buildings. In recognition of this, special controls to allow for appropriate building articulation and mass reduction are provided in this Section. (b) Applicability. This Section 270.1 applies to all buildings in the Eastern Neighborhoods Mixed Use Districts that have street or alley frontage greater than 200 feet in length, and that receive their first site or building permit after the effective date of this Section 270.1. (c) Controls. Buildings subject to this Section must incorporate one or more mass reduction breaks in the building that reduce the horizontal scale of the building into discrete sections not more than 200 feet in length. As illustrated in Figure 270.1A, such mass reduction breaks shall: (1) be not less than 30 feet in width; (2) be not less than 60 feet in depth from the street-facing building facade; (3) extend up to the sky from a level not higher than 25 feet above grade or the third story, whichever is lower; and (4) result in discrete building sections with a maximum plan length along the street frontage not greater than 200 feet. Bays, balconies or other obstructions permitted over streets and alleys in Section 136(c), shall not be considered for the calculation of the above dimensions. Figure 270.1.A Required Horizontal Mass Reduction

(d) Modifications. The Planning Commission may modify or waive this requirement through the process set forth in Section 329. When considering any such application, the Commission shall consider the following criteria: (1) no more than 50% of the required mass is reduced unless special circumstances are evident; (2) the depth of any mass reduction breaks provided is not less than 15 feet from the front facade, unless special circumstances are evident; (3) the proposed building envelope can be demonstrated to achieve a distinctly superior effect of reducing the apparent horizontal dimension of the building; and (4) the proposed building achieves unique and superior architectural design.

LOT DEVELOPMENT IN THE EASTERN NEIGHBORHOODS MIXED USE DISTRICTS, SOUTH OF MARKET NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL TRANSIT DISTRICT, FOLSOM STREET NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL TRANSIT DISTRICT, REGIONAL COMMERCIAL DISTRICT, C-3 DISTRICTS, AND DTR DISTRICTS. (a) Findings. The historically industrial parts of the City, including the South of Market, Showplace Square, Central Waterfront, and Mission, typically have very large blocks. In the South of Market, a typical block is 825 feet in length and 550 feet in width; in Showplace Square and the Central Waterfront blocks extend up to 800 feet in length and greater; and in the Mission many blocks are over 500 feet in length. In areas of the City historically developed as moderate and high-density residential and commercial environments, the block pattern is much smaller, with many alternate and redundant paths of travels, service alleys, and public mid-block pedestrian walkways and stairways: the typical North of Market block is 275 feet in width and not more than 412.5 feet in length, often with minor alleys bisecting these blocks further into smaller increments. Large blocks inhibit pedestrian movement and convenience by significantly lengthening walking distances between points, thereby reducing the ability and likelihood of people to walk between destinations, including reducing access to and likelihood of using transit. Academic studies have shown that the likelihood of people to walk for trips of all purposes, including walking to transit stops, declines substantially above distances as low as 1/5th of a mile, and that the propensity to walk is very elastic for distances of one mile or less and heavily dependent on distance and route barriers (Berman, Journal of American Planning Literature, May 1996). People are generally willing to walk not more than 1/3-mile to access rail transit, and less to access bus transit. In the Eastern Neighborhoods Mixed Use and DTR Districts, and South-of-Market portion of the C-3 Districts, longer walking distances due to large blocks generally lengthen walking distances by up to 1,000 feet or more for even the shortest trips, a major factor in reduced use of transit in these areas. In areas with large blocks, walking distances between destinations can be between 50% and 300% longer than for areas with smaller blocks and more route choices (Hess, Places, Summer 1997). In the South of Market area, for example, the distance between destinations for walking trips can be as much as 2.5 times longer than a trip between destinations similarly situated apart north of Market Street. Given equivalent densities and distributions of development, where walking distances are greater due to longer and larger blocks, residents have access to up to 50% fewer destinations (e.g. shops, services, transit) for equal walking distances (Id.). Greater walking distances and fewer route choices also severely degrade accessibility to transit, services, and shops for people with disabilities and the elderly (Kulash, Development, July/August 1990). Because there are fewer pedestrian route choices and people must walk on fewer, more-highly trafficked and busier streets for longer distances, the quality of the pedestrian experience is severely diminished and there are more conflicts with motor vehicles, with corresponding heightened concerns for pedestrian safety on major streets. Large blocks also increase vehicular and service demand on streets. Where there are no secondary streets or service alleys, all vehicular functions (including service loading as well as private vehicular access to off-street parking) are concentrated onto fewer streets, increasing traffic volumes on these streets and creating significant and frequent conflicts with automobile traffic, transit, bicycles, and pedestrian activity. Where industrial uses with low densities of workers and residents remain in place, the condition of large blocks is not a problem. However, where land use changes occur with new

development and the intensity and density of residential and employment population are increased by new development, there is thus a significant new need created to improve pedestrian and vehicular circulation by mitigating the size the blocks, providing alternate and redundant paths of travel, and creating a more pedestrian-accessible environment. (b) Purpose. The mid-block alley requirements of this Section are intended to ameliorate the conditions and impacts described in the Findings of subsection (a) above and make the subject areas appropriate for a higher density of activity and population in areas being targeted for more intense development. (c) Applicability. This Section 270.2 applies to all new construction on parcels that have one or more street or alley frontages of over 200 linear feet on a block face longer than 400 feet between intersections, and are in the C-3 Districts, if located south of Market Street, or in the South of Market Neighborhood Commercial Transit District, Folsom Street Neighborhood Commercial Transit District, Regional Commercial District, Eastern Neighborhoods Mixed Use Districts, or DTR Districts, except for parcels in the RH DTR District, which are subject to Section 827. (d) Requirements. (1) New construction on lots with greater than 300 linear feet of street frontage shall provide a publicly-accessible mid-block alley for the entire depth of the property, generally located toward the middle of the subject block face, perpendicular to the subject frontage and connecting to any existing streets and alleys. For development lots with frontage on more than one street that exceeds the above dimensions, one such mid-block alley will be required per frontage. (2) For new construction on lots with frontage greater than 200 linear feet but less than 300 feet the project shall provide a publicly-accessible mid-block alley for the entire depth of the property where any of the following criteria are met: (A) There is an opportunity to establish a through-block connection between two existing alleys or streets, or (B) A portion of the subject frontage extends over the central half of the block face, or (C) Where it is deemed necessary by the Planning Department and Commission to introduce alleys to reduce the scale of large development, particularly in areas with a surrounding pattern of alleys. (3) For new construction within the Van Ness & Market Residential Special Use District on lots with greater than 300 linear feet of street frontage, the project shall provide a publicly- accessible mid-block alley between any two frontages that have at least 200 feet of length each. Such alley shall be subject to all requirements of this Section 270.2, except that the requirements of subsection 270.2(e)(14) shall not apply. A project subject to this subsection 270.2(d)(3) may seek an exception to the requirements of Section 270.2(e)(6) pursuant to the procedures and findings of Section 309(a)(18). (e) Design and Performance Standards.

OUTSIDE OF THE EASTERN NEIGHBORHOODS MIXED USE DISTRICTS, SOUTH OF MARKET COMMERCIAL TRANSIT DISTRICT, FOLSOM STREET NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL TRANSIT DISTRICT, REGIONAL COMMERCIAL DISTRICT, C-3 AND DTR DISTRICTS. (a) Findings. This Section 270.3 incorporates the findings in Section 270.2(a), and determines that the conditions in Section 270.2 are applicable outside of the geographic area specified in Section 270.2..1 (b) Purpose. The mid-block alley requirements of this Section 270.3 are intended to ameliorate the conditions and impacts described in the findings in Section 270.2(a) and make the

subject areas appropriate for a higher density of activity and population in areas being targeted for more intense development. The horizontal mass reductions and mid-block alleys will ensure that block sizes for new housing support walkable neighborhoods. To encourage pedestrian movement, walking to nearby destinations including to and from transit, and neighborhood blocks with shortened distances to facilitate this activity, the bulk limitations noted below will apply. (c) Applicability. This Section 270.3 applies to all development lots not subject to the requirements of Section 270.2, except development lots in PDR districts or that contain exclusively government or Public Facilities, that: (1) Are two acres or larger; and/or (2) Have a frontage of 200 feet or greater on a single block face that is 400 feet or greater. (d) Requirements. New construction on development lots that meet the criteria in subsection (c) above must be divided into smaller resultant lots and blocks in either one of the two following ways: (1) Option 1. Lots shall be divided into resultant blocks such that: (A) no block frontage exceeds a length of 300 feet between intersections; (B) no block perimeter exceeds a total of 1,200 feet; and (C) the resultant blocks shall be separated from each other by newly created public street(s), alley(s), or publicly-accessible privately-owned street(s) or alley(s). Such street(s) shall meet San Francisco street standards including the Better Streets Plan as codified in Section 138.1 and pursuant to Public Works Code requirements. If privately-owned street(s) or alley(s) are created, they shall be maintained and must provide public access pursuant to the standards provided in Planning Code Section 270.2(e). (2) Option 2. Lots shall be divided into resultant blocks of not more than 400 feet in length between intersections of streets or alleys per subsection (d)(1)(C) above, that are bisected by alleys or passageways, and that do not exceed a total block perimeter of 1,400 feet. Such mid-block alleys or passageways shall meet the following conditions: (A) Location. Be located as close to the middle portion of the subject block face, defined as within 50 lateral feet from the block centerline, perpendicular to the subject frontage and connecting to any existing adjacent streets and alleys. If the subject lot is not within the central portion of the block, the passageway shall cross the subject lot at its centerline or within 50 lateral feet from the lot centerline. For Development projects that include a Public Facility or are immediately abutting a parcel containing a Public Facility, this locational requirement shall not apply. (B) Hours of Operation. The passageway(s) must be open to the public 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Fences and/or gates that would prevent public access at any point within the passageway(s) are prohibited. (C) Width. The passageway(s) must maintain minimum width(s) of 20 feet measured from building-to-building at any point. (D) Walking Width. Have a minimum clear walking width of 10 feet free of any obstructions in the case of a pedestrian-only right-of-way, and dual sidewalks each of not less than six feet in width with not less than four feet minimum clear width in the case of an alley with vehicular access. (E) Open to the Sky. At least 60% of the passageway area must be open to the sky. Obstructions permitted within setbacks pursuant to Planning Code Section 136, that do not conflict with or obstruct the required walking width, may be located within the portion of the alley or passageway that is required to be open to the sky. All portions of the alley or pathway not open to the sky shall have a minimum clearance height from grade of 15 feet at all points. For Development Projects that include a Public Facility or are immediately abutting a parcel containing to a Public Facility, the required percent of the passageway area that must be open to the sky may be reduced to 50%. (F) Topography. Changes in grade or steps are not permitted in an alley or passageway unless required by the natural topography and average grade. (G) Frontage. Alleys or passageways must be fronted by active ground-floor uses, as defined in Section 145.1, for no less than 60% of their fronting length and in no case feature more than 50 continuous feet of inactive use(s) in any segment. For development projects that include a Public Facility or are immediately abutting a parcel containing a Public Facility, the required percent for active ground-floor uses may be reduced to 40% and may be unevenly distributed between the alley’s or passageway’s two sides. (H) Visual access. Alleys or passageways must be configured to allow clear visual access from one end of the passageway through the development lot to its opposite end. (e) Additional Requirements for Private Passageways and Alleys. (1) Maintenance. Mid-block passageways and alleys required under this Section 270.3 shall be maintained at no public expense unless a publicly-accepted street or alley is created pursuant to subsection (d)(1) above. The owner of the property on which the alley or passageway is located shall maintain it by keeping the area clean and free of litter and by keeping it in an acceptable state of repair. Conditions intended to assure continued maintenance of the right-of-way for the actual lifetime of the building giving rise to the open space requirement may be imposed. (2) Informational Plaque. Prior to issuance of a permit of occupancy, a plaque shall be placed in a publicly conspicuous location for pedestrian viewing. The plaque shall state the right of the public to pass through the alley and stating the name and address of the owner or owner’s agent responsible for maintenance. The plaque shall be of no less than 24

space requirement may be imposed. (2) Informational Plaque. Prior to issuance of a permit of occupancy, a plaque shall be placed in a publicly conspicuous location for pedestrian viewing. The plaque shall state the right of the public to pass through the alley and stating the name and address of the owner or owner’s agent responsible for maintenance. The plaque shall be of no less than 24 inches by 36 inches in size. (3) Property owners providing a pathway or alley under this Section 270.3 shall hold harmless the City and County of San Francisco, its officers, agents, and employees, from any damage or injury caused by the design, construction, or maintenance of the right-of-way, and are solely liable for any damage or loss occasioned by any act or neglect in respect to the design, construction, or maintenance of the right-of-way. (f) Any non-vehicular portions of such a passageway or alley, including sidewalks or other walking areas, seating areas, or landscaping, may count toward any open space requirements of this Code which permit publicly-accessible open space, provided that such space meets the standards of Section 135.

1. So in Ord. 245-25 SEC. 271. BULK LIMITS: SPECIAL EXCEPTIONS, IN DISTRICTS OTHER THAN C-3. (a) General. The bulk limits prescribed by Section 270 have been carefully considered in relation to objectives and policies for conservation and change in districts other than C-3. There may be some exceptional cases in which these limits may properly be permitted to be exceeded to a certain degree; however, following public review and exploration of alternatives, provided there are adequate compensating factors. Such deviation might occur, when the criteria of this Section are met, for one or both of the following positive reasons: (1) Achievement of a distinctly better design, in both a public and a private sense, than would be possible with strict adherence to the bulk limits, avoiding an unnecessary prescription of building form while carrying out the intent of the bulk limits and the principles and policies of the General Plan. (2) Development of a building or structure with widespread public service benefits and significance to the community at large, where compelling functional requirements of the specific building or structure make necessary such a deviation. (b) Procedures. Deviations from the bulk limits under this section shall be permitted only upon approval by the City Planning Commission according to the procedures for conditional use approval in Section 303 of this Code, or for the procedures for design review in Section 329 of this Code for subject projects in the Eastern Neighborhoods Mixed Use Districts. (c) Criteria. In acting upon any application for a conditional use or modification to permit the bulk limits to be exceeded under this section, the City Planning Commission shall consider the following standards and criteria in addition to those stated in Sections 303(c) and 329 of this Code: (1) The appearance of bulk in the building, structure or development shall be reduced by means of at least one and preferably a combination of the following factors, so as to produce the impression of an aggregate of parts rather than a single building mass: (A) Major variations in the planes of wall surfaces, in either depth or direction, that significantly alter the mass; (B) Significant differences in the heights of various portions of the building, structure or development that divide the mass into distinct elements; (C) Differences in materials, colors or scales of the facades that produce separate major elements;

(D) Compensation for those portions of the building, structure or development that may exceed the bulk limits by corresponding reduction of other portions below the maximum bulk permitted; and (E) In cases where two or more buildings, structures or towers are contained within a single development, a wide separation between such buildings, structures or towers. (2) In every case the building, structure or development shall be made compatible with the character and development of the surrounding area by means of all of the following factors: (A) A silhouette harmonious with natural land-forms and building patterns, including the patterns produced by height limits; (B) Either maintenance of an overall height similar to that of surrounding development or a sensitive transition, where appropriate, to development of a dissimilar character; (C) Use of materials, colors and scales either similar to or harmonizing with those of nearby development; and (D) Preservation or enhancement of the pedestrian environment by maintenance of pleasant scale and visual interest. (3) While the above factors must be present to a considerable degree for any bulk limit to be exceeded, these factors must be present to a greater degree where both the maximum length and the maximum diagonal dimension are to be exceeded than where only one maximum dimension is to be exceeded.

SEC. 272. BULK LIMITS: SPECIAL EXCEPTIONS IN C-3 DISTRICTS. (a) General. The bulk limits prescribed by Section 270 have been carefully considered in relation to objectives and policies for conservation and change in C-3 Districts. However, there may be some exceptional cases in which these limits may properly be permitted to be exceeded to a certain degree, provided, however, that there are adequate compensating factors. Exceptions to the bulk limits may be approved in the manner provided in Section 309, provided that at least one of the following criteria is met: (1) Achievement of a distinctly better design, in both a public and a private sense, than would be possible with strict adherence to the bulk limits, avoiding an unnecessary prescription of building form while carrying out the intent of the bulk limits and the principles and policies of the Master Plan; (2) Development of a building or structure with widespread public service benefits and significance to the community at large, where compelling functional requirements of the specific building or structure make necessary such a deviation; and provided further that all of the following criteria are met: (A) The added bulk does not contribute significantly to shading of publicly accessible open space, (B) The added bulk does not increase ground level wind currents in violation of the provisions of Section 148 of this Code; (3) The added bulk does not significantly affect light and air to adjacent buildings; (4) If appropriate to the massing of the building, the appearance of bulk in the building, structure or development is reduced to the extent feasible by means of at least one and preferably a combination of the following factors, so as to produce the impression of an aggregate of parts rather than a single building mass: (A) Major variations in the planes of wall surfaces, in either depth or direction, that significantly alter the mass, (B) Significant differences in the heights of various portions of the building, structure or development that divide the mass into distinct elements, (C) Differences in materials, colors or scales of the facades that produce separate major elements, (D) Compensation for those portions of the building, structure or development that may exceed the bulk limits by corresponding reduction of other portions below the maximum bulk permitted, and (E) In cases where two or more buildings, structures or towers are contained within a single development, a wide separation between such buildings, structures or towers; (5) The building, structure or development is made compatible with the character and development of the surrounding area by means of all of the following factors: (A) A silhouette harmonious with natural land-forms and building patterns, including the patterns produced by height limits, (B) Either maintenance of an overall height similar to that of surrounding development or a sensitive transition, where appropriate, to development of a dissimilar character, (C) Use of materials, colors and scales either similar to or harmonizing with those of nearby development, and (D) Preservation or enhancement of the pedestrian environment by maintenance of pleasant scale and visual interest. (6) Exceptions to bulk limits shall not result in a building of greater total gross floor area than would be permitted if the bulk limits were met.

MISSION ROCK HEIGHT AND BULK DISTRICT. (a) Purpose. The purpose of the Mission Rock Height and Bulk District is to enable development of Mission Rock as a mixed use, transit-oriented neighborhood, with significant open space, public access and affordable housing. The property within the District is divided into a number of separate blocks and varying height limits shall apply within such blocks as provided below. Design controls shall be adopted for the District to guide the design of improvements within the established height limits. In approving the “Mission Rock Affordable Housing, Park, Jobs and Historic Preservation Initiative” (“Proposition D”) on November 3, 2015, the voters of the City and County of San Francisco established certain limits and parameters for the height and bulk of buildings at Mission Rock. These parameters are laid out in subsections (a)(1) through (5) below. The detailed height and bulk controls contained in subsections (b) through (g), adopted subsequent to approval of Proposition D, as described in the Mission Rock Special Use District in Section 249.80, are consistent with and implement these voter-established limitations and requirements. Mission Rock Design Controls (Design Controls), adopted by the Planning Commission and the

Port Commission subsequent to approval of Proposition D, are incorporated by reference in Section 249.80. The boundaries of the blocks and the height limits applicable within such blocks as shown in the graphic in subsection (b) below may only be modified in a manner consistent with all of the requirements set forth in the following subsections (a)(1) through (5), which requirements may not be amended without voter approval: (1) Open Space. Approximately 8 acres of open space shall be provided within the District, and in these open space areas any buildings shall be limited in height to a single story, consistent with the height and bulk designation of OS (Open Space) in effect prior to the adoption of this Section 291 and the provisions of Planning Code Section 916. (2) Pier 48. Pier 48, totaling approximately 5 acres (exclusive of the apron which shall remain as open space), shall be subject to a height limit of 40 feet and bulk designation of 40-X. No height limit in excess of 40 feet shall be established in the District within 100 feet landward of the shoreline of San Francisco Bay, measured from the mean high tide line as of the adoption of this Section 291. (3) Lots Fronting Terry A. Francois Boulevard. Building frontages along the west side of the reconfigured Terry A. Francois Boulevard shall be no more than 40 feet in height, with height in excess of 40 feet stepping back from the street in accordance with the Design Controls. The maximum height of buildings on blocks fronting on the west side of reconfigured Terry A. Francois Boulevard shall be 120 feet, provided that floor area above 90 feet shall be used exclusively for residential uses and uses accessory thereto and/or restaurant uses. (4) Elsewhere in the District. Three buildings within the District shall be permitted to exceed a height of 190 feet; provided that (i) occupied floor area above 190 feet shall be used exclusively for residential uses and uses accessory thereto and/or restaurant uses, (ii) the maximum height of such buildings shall be 240 feet, and (iii) the Design Controls are in effect to ensure slender towers, including a requirement that typical floors above a height of 190 feet do not exceed 12,000 square feet of gross floor area, with minor variation permitted for articulation. Consequently, the typical floors above 190 feet in the three buildings combined shall comprise no more than about 3% of the approximately 28 acre area of the Mission Rock Height and Bulk District. The height limit on all other blocks within the Mission Rock Height and Bulk District shall not exceed 190 feet or such lower height limit as may be required in accordance with the provisions of paragraphs (1) through (3) above. (5) Maximum Area Subject to Increased Height Limit. As compared to the height limits in effect prior to the adoption of this Section 291, the height limit shall be increased on a maximum of 10 acres of the approximately 28 acre Mission Rock Height and Bulk District. The 18 acres on which the height limit is not increased shall include: (i) areas to be devoted to open space (approximately 8 acres), (ii) the circulation network for pedestrians, bicycles and vehicles (approximately 5 acres), and (iii) Pier 48 (approximately 5 acres). (b) Height Limits. The height limits applicable to the blocks within the Mission Rock Height and Bulk District are as shown on the graphic below. Figure 291-MR1, Maximum Height and Bulk Plan

(c) Height and Bulk Measurement. Maximum building heights shall be measured from the highest point of the finished grade (as referenced in the Design Controls) along the property line, up to the highest point of the uppermost structural slab in the case of a flat roof, and up to the average height of the rise in the case of a pitched or stepped roof, or similarly sculptured roof form. Maximum Base Building heights shall be measured from the highest point of the finished grade (as referenced in the Design Controls of the finished grade (as referenced in the Design Controls)1 along the property line up to the highest point on the uppermost structural slab of the Base Building in the case of a flat roof, and the average height of the rise in the case of a pitched or stepped roof, or similarly sculptured roof form of the Base Building. (d) Building Envelopes. Building envelopes shall consist of the Base Building and the Upper Building, as illustrated in Figure 291-MR2, Components of the Building Envelope. Upper building massing must be located within the hatched zones and stepbacks are required above Base Buildings, both as indicated on Figure 291-MR1, Maximum Height and Bulk Plan. Figure 291-MR2. Components of the Building Envelope

(e) Upper Building Tops. The tops of Upper Buildings may extend up to 20 feet vertically above the maximum permitted building height, except on Block F, where the building may extend up to 40 feet vertically above the maximum permitted building height. In both cases, the extension is allowed only for non-occupied architectural features. (f) Rooftop Elements. The following rooftop elements may extend beyond the maximum permitted building height as specified below, provided that in no event shall the maximum height in subsection (e) be exceeded: mechanical enclosures, and sustainable infrastructure such as photovoltaic panels, windmills, fog catchers and Greenhouses (up to 20 feet in height). On the Base Building, rooftop elements must step back at a minimum ratio of 1.2 feet horizontally from the streetwall for every foot that they exceed the maximum permitted height limit. Common use structures are permitted on the Base Building up to 20 feet in height, provided that they are limited to 25% of the roof area for each Base Building. On the Upper Building, rooftop elements must be screened or enclosed within the building top. Railings, planters and visually permeable building elements no greater than 42 inches above the roof are exempt from step-back requirements. (g) Upper Building Floorplate Reduction and Bulk Controls. For buildings taller than 160 feet, bulk floorplate reduction and controls shall be required in accordance with Figure 291-MR3 and Table 291-MR1 as follows: Figure 291-MR3. Floorplate Reduction

CODIFICATION NOTE

1. So in Ord. 31-18. SEC. 295. HEIGHT RESTRICTIONS ON STRUCTURES SHADOWING PROPERTY UNDER THE JURISDICTION OF THE RECREATION AND PARK COMMISSION. (a) No building permit authorizing the construction of any structure that will cast any shade or shadow upon any property under the jurisdiction of, or designated for acquisition by, the Recreation and Park Commission may be issued except upon prior action of the Planning Commission pursuant to the provisions of this Section; provided, however, that the provisions of this Section shall not apply to building permits authorizing:

(1) Structures which do not exceed 40 feet in height; (2) Structures which cast a shade or shadow upon property under the jurisdiction of, or designated for acquisition by, the Recreation and Park Commission only during the first hour after sunrise and/or the last hour before sunset; (3) Structures to be constructed on property under the jurisdiction of the Recreation and Park Commission for recreational and park-related purposes; (4) Structures of the same height and in the same location as structures in place on June 6, 1984; (5) Projects for which a building permit application has been filed and either (i) a public hearing has been held prior to March 5, 1984 on a draft environmental impact report published by the Planning Department, or (ii) a Negative Declaration has been published by the Planning Department prior to July 3, 1984; (6) Projects for which a building permit application and an application for environmental evaluation have been filed prior to March 5, 1984 and which involve physical integration of new construction with rehabilitation of a building designated as historic either by the San Francisco Board of Supervisors as a historical landmark or by the State Historic Preservation Officer as a State Historic Landmark, or placed by the United States Department of the Interior on the National Register of Historic Places and which are located on sites that, but for separation by a street or alley, are adjacent to such historic building. (b) The Planning Commission shall conduct a hearing and shall disapprove the issuance of any building permit governed by the provisions of this Section if it finds that the proposed project will have any adverse impact on the use of the property under the jurisdiction of, or designated for acquisition by, the Recreation and Park Commission because of the shading or shadowing that it will cause, unless it is determined that the impact would be insignificant. The Planning Commission shall not make the determination required by the provisions of this Subsection until the general manager of the Recreation and Park Department in consultation with the Recreation and Park Commission has had an opportunity to review and comment to the Planning Commission upon the proposed project. (c) The Planning Commission and the Recreation and Park Commission, after a joint meeting, shall adopt criteria for the implementation of the provisions of this Section. (d) The Zoning Administrator shall determine which applications for building permits propose structures which will cast a shade or shadow upon property under the jurisdiction of, or designated for acquisition by, the Recreation and Park Commission. As used in this Section, "property designated for acquisition by the Recreation and Park Commission" shall mean property which a majority of each of the Recreation and Park Commission and the Planning Commission, meeting jointly, with the concurrence of the Board of Supervisors, have recommended for acquisition from the Open Space Acquisition and Park Renovation Fund, which property is to be placed under the jurisdiction of the Recreation and Park Commission.
