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.

(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.

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.
