SEC. 249.49. TELEGRAPH HILL – NORTH BEACH RESIDENTIAL SPECIAL USE DISTRICT. (a) Purposes. To regulate the amount of off-street parking and limit the installation of garages in all residential structures in order to ensure that they do not increase the level of automobile traffic, increase pollution, cause the removal of on-street parking spaces, or impair pedestrian use on narrow public rights-of-way in the District; and to preserve existing affordable housing by preventing the addition of off-site parking, which provides an incentive to convert existing affordable residential buildings to market-rate housing. (b) Applicability. The provisions of this Special Use District shall apply to the RH and RM zoned parcels within the area bounded by Bay Street on the north, The Embarcadero and Sansome Street on the east, Broadway on the South, and Columbus Avenue on the west, as shown on Sectional Map SU01 of the Zoning Map. (c) Controls. (1) Number of Off-Street Residential Parking Spaces. Up to 0.5 parking spaces for each Dwelling Unit, subject to the controls and procedures of Section 249.49(c) and Sections 155(r) and 155(t). Not Permitted above this amount. (2) Installation of a Parking Garage. Installation of a garage in an existing or proposed residential building of two or more units requires a mandatory discretionary review hearing by the Planning Commission. In order to approve the installation of any garage in these districts, the Commission shall find that: (1) the proposed garage opening/addition of off-street parking will not cause the elimination or reduction of ground-story retail or commercial space; (2) the proposed garage opening/addition of off-street parking will not eliminate or decrease the square footage of any dwelling unit; (3) the building has not had two or more evictions within the past 10 years, with each eviction associated with a separate unit(s), (4) the garage would not front on an Alley pursuant to Section 155(r)(1) of this Code or on a public right-of-way narrower than 41 feet, and (5) the proposed garage opening/ addition of off-street parking is consistent with the Priority Policies of Section 101.1 of this Code. Prior to issuance of any required notification under Section 311 of this Code, the Department shall require a signed affidavit by the project sponsor attesting to (1), (2), and (3) above, which the Department shall independently verify, and the Department shall determine whether the project complies with (4) and (5) above. If the project sponsor does not provide such signed affidavit, or the garage would front on an Alley or public right-of-way narrower than 41 feet, the Department shall disapprove the application and no Planning Commission hearing shall be required.

A Special Use District entitled the Candlestick Point Activity Node Special Use District, the boundaries of which are designated on Sectional Map Nos. SU09 and SU10 of the Zoning Map of the City and County of San Francisco, is hereby established for the purposes set forth below. The Candlestick Point Activity Node Special Use District is generally bounded by Jamestown Avenue north of Hunters Point Expressway and south of Giants Drive to the south and southwest; Bayview Hill Park to the southwest; Gilman Park to the northwest; the southwest, northwest, and northeast outer boundaries of Alice Griffith Housing to the north; the San Francisco Bay shoreline along Candlestick Point State Recreation Area from Arelious Walker Drive to Hunters Point Expressway to the east and south. The boundaries of the Candlestick Point Activity Node Special Use District correlate with the boundaries of both the Candlestick Point Activity Node and Zone 1 of Area B of the Bayview Hunters Point Redevelopment Project Area, as amended on August 3, 2010. A large portion of the Candlestick Point State Recreation Area is included in this Special Use District. (b) Purpose. The purpose of the Candlestick Point Activity Node Special Use District is to enable development of the Candlestick Point - Hunters Point Shipyard Phase 2 Development Project, a high density, transit-oriented, mixed-use development (housing, retail, office, performance venue, and community uses) with significant open space and public realm improvements, as provided for in Zone 1 of the Bayview Hunters Point Redevelopment Plan, as amended on August 3, 2010, the Candlestick Point Design for Development document dated June 3, 2010, and the Candlestick Point Subarea Plan of the Bayview Hunters Point Area Plan of the San Francisco General Plan. Among its many goals, this Special Use District seeks to: create additional public parks and public open space, particularly along the waterfront; improve the quality, availability, and affordability of housing; build the Alice Griffith housing site; and provide commercial opportunities and jobs for residents of the Bayview. Integral to the intended mixed-use development is the provision of buildings at a variety of heights, ranging from approximately 40 feet to 420 feet tall.
