frontages identified in Figure 249.9-6. For Townhomes, measurement shall be taken from the
centerline of each Townhome. The measuring point shall be taken at curb level from the Building
facade at-grade within 10 feet of the parcel boundary. New Construction with facades at-grade beyond
IO feet from the property line shall maintain a measuring point at a maximum depth of IO feet from the
property line. At the Building roo{line, measurement of height shall be as follows:
(i)
(ii)
The highest point on the finished roo[in the case of a flat roof;
The average height oft he rise in the case of a pitched or stepped
roof or similarly sculptured roof form; or
(iii)
The highest point of any feature not exempted from the height
measurement by subsection (g)(2)(B), below.

(b) Purpose and Findings.
(1) The Stonestown Development Proiect (Proiect) is a mixed-use, multi-phased master-
planned development located on the west side of San Francisco, generally bounded by Eucalyptus
Drive to the north. 19th Avenue to the east, San Francisco State University (SFSU) Campus to the
south. and Buckingham Way to the west. It will provide several benefits to the City, such as a
significant amount ofpublicly accessible open space, increased public access throughout the site,
childcare facilities, extensive infrastructure improvements, and affordable housing, while creating iobs,
housing. and a vibrant community.
(2) In addition to furthering the purposes stated in Sections IOI and 601 ofthe
Planning Code, the Stonestown SSD is intended to further the purposes of the Stonestown Special Use
District, established pursuant to Section 249.9. The Stonestown SUD, and the Stonestown Design
Standards and Guidelines (DSG), implement the land use controls for the Stonestown Development
Proiect, which is subiect to a Development Agreement, approved by the Board of Supervisors in the
ordinance contained in Board File No. 240410.
(3) The Stonestown Galleria Mall opened in 1952. Since that time, the mall has
operated as a retail destination within the City. As of the enactment of the ordinance in Board File
No. 240409 establishing the Stones town SSD, the mall provides ample parking spaces. Because there
are no structures in the surface parking lot, the mall is visible to pedestrians, transit riders, and
travelers in cars and other motor vehicles from 19th Avenue.
(4) As part of the Proiect, the surface parking lots will be subdivided, and replaced with
new development, streets, and open spaces. Portions of the newly built 20th Avenue, Buckingham Way,
and side streets between 19th and 20th Avenues will be privately owned by the Stonestown Galleria
Mall, or its affiliates. In addition to providing necessary circulation for and access to the mall, the
private streets will provide on-street parking and access to additional parking for retail shoppers. The
Stonestown Galleria Mall, or its affiliates, will also own additional contiguous open spaces, and

BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
Page 52
pedestrian pathways throughout the site. These private streets and parcels will be contiguous to and
abut the mall, providing parking access, and facilitate foot tra(lic to the mall, as well as accessible
open spaces to shoppers and residents of the Proiect.
(5) The purposes o(this SSD include: ensuring the orderly development of the Proiect;
safeguarding and enhancing the value of the surrounding residential and commercial areas; protecting
the distinctive appearance of San Francisco due to its unique geography, topography, street patterns,
skyline and architectural features,· providing an environment that promotes the development of
business in the City,· encouraging sound practices and lessening obiectionable effects in respect to size
and placement of signs,· and reducing hazards to motorists and pedestrians traveling on the public way.
(6) To accomplish these purposes, this SSD sets controls for Signs within the
Stonestown SSD area.
(c) Controls. The Sign controls shall be as follows:
(1) Signage Controls [or the Stonestown Galleria Mall. As to the Stonestown Galleria
