The Leland Avenue Neighborhood Commercial District is located on Leland Avenue between Bayshore Boulevard and Cora Street in southeast San Francisco. Leland Avenue abuts the Schlage Lock Company Visitacion Valley factory site, which closed in 1999 and is identified in the Visitacion Valley/Schlage Lock Plan. Leland Avenue is located within Zone 2 of the Visitacion Valley/Schlage Lock Special Use District. The Visitacion Valley Greenway, a series of six parks that are part of the City's Crosstown Trail, ends at Leland Avenue. The District aims to cultivate a vibrant, pedestrian- friendly commercial corridor that serves the diverse needs of the local community while preserving the unique character and charm of the neighborhood. The District is in close proximity to the Caltrain Bayshore Station and light rail. Supervisor Walton BOARD OF SUPERVISORS Page 2 Buildings in the District typically range in height from two to four stories with occasional one- story commercial buildings. Future commercial growth is directed to the ground story to promote continuous and active retail frontage. Neighborhood-serving businesses are strongly encouraged. Table 746.
