[Planning Code - Modifying Better Streets Plan Requirements and Curb Cut Restrictions]
Ordinance amending the Planning Code to add new standard required streetscape
improvements under the Better Streets Plan; modifying the triggers that would require
project sponsors to construct streetscape improvements in the public right-of-way;
clarifying the recommended sidewalk width for street types; expanding curb cut
restrictions for off-street parking and loading to nearly all zoning districts and certain
designated streets, including those on the Citywide Transit Network and any officially
adopted bicycle routes or lanes, and requiring a Conditional Use authorization or a
·10
Section 309 or 329 exception for new or expanded curb cuts in the applicabie areas;
adding criteria for the Planning Commission to consider when granting a Conditional
Use authorization or an exception as part of a Downtown C-3-0(SD) (Downtown, Office

Section 1. Findings, Including CEQA Findings and General Plan Consistency Findings.
(a) The City adopted the Better Streets Plan (or "Plan") in 2010 to establish
requirements for the improvement of the public right-of-way associated with development
projects. The Plan's aim is to make the public right-of-way safe, accessible, convenient and
attractive to pedestrian use and travel by all modes of transportation, consistent with the
Transit First policy of the General Plan and Section 98.1 of the Administrative Code.
(b) Since adoption of the Plan, the City has continued to develop policies and
initiatives to build better and safer streets, such as the "Vision Zero" policy adopted in 2014,
which, through education, enforcement, and design, seeks to make sure our streets safe and
1 O
livable and eliminate traffic fatalities by 2024.
(c) Consistent with the policy direction enshrined in those initiatives, this Board finds
that this ordinance furthers the public welfare by refining the Better Street Plan to better
achieve its original goals. Specifically, the Board finds that these amendments adjust the
Plan's triggers to more closely reflect the actual impacts of development projects on the public
right-of-way, and that they provide additional publicly beneficial streetscape enhancements
and more flexibility to City agencies to select the appropriate improvements for each location.
(d) This Board also finds that this ordinance promotes public safety by expanding and
strengthening the current conditional use permit requirement for new curb cuts to areas of the
City that are heavily used by pedestrians.
(e) In regard to the findings in Subsection (c) and (d) above, the Board finds additional
support for these requirements in the Planning Department staff report on this legislation, a
copy of which is on file with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors in File No. 180914 and is
incorporated herein by reference.
(f) The Planning Department has determined that the actions contemplated in this
ordinance comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (California Public Resources
Supervisor Kim
BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
Page
Code Sections 21000 et seq.). Said determination is on file with the Clerk of the Board of
Supervisors in File No. 180914 and is incorporated herein by reference. The Board affirms
this determination.
(g) On October 18, 2018, the Planning Commission, in Resolution No. 20319, adopted
findings that the actions contemplated in this ordinance are consistent, on balance, with the
City's General Plan and eight priority policies of Planning Code Section 101.1. The Board
adopts these findings as its own. A copy of said Resolution is on file with the Clerk of the
Board of Supervisors in File No. 180914, and is incorporated herein by reference.
(h) Pursuant to Planning Code Section 302, this Board finds that this Planning Code
1 O
amendment will serve the public necessity, convenience, and welfare for the reasons set forth
in Planning Commission Resolution No. 20319 and the Board adopts these findings as its
own.
Section 2. The Planning Code is hereby amended by revising Sections 138.1, 150,
155, 161, 209.2, 209.4, 210.1, 210.2, 303, 710-726, 728-734, 750-764, 810-812, to read as
follows:
SEC.138.1. STREETSCAPE AND PEDESTRIAN IMPROVEMENTS.
(a) Purpose. The purpose of this section is to establish requirements for the
improvement of the public right-of-way associated with development projects, such that the
public right-of-way may be safe, accessible, convenient and attractive to pedestrian use and
travel by all modes of transportation consistent with the San Francisco General Plan, achieve
best practices in ecological stormwater management, and provide space for public life and
social interaction, in accordance with the City's "Better Streets Policy" (Administrative Code
Section 98.1).

Ordinance amending the Planning Code to add new standard required streetscape improvements
under the Better Streets Plan; modifying the triggers that would require project sponsors to construct
streetscape improvements in the public right-of-way; clarifying the recommended sidewalk width for
street types; expanding curb cut restrictions for off-street parking and loading to nearly all zoning
districts and certain designated streets, including those on the Citywide Transit Network and any
officially adopted bicycle routes or lanes, and requiring a Conditional Use authorization or a Section
309 or 329 exception for new or expanded curb cuts in the applicable areas; adding criteria for the
Planning Commission to consider when granting a Conditional Use authorization or an exception as
part of a Downtown C-3-0(SD) (Downtown, Office (Special Development)) or large project
authorization in mixed-use districts for such curb cuts; prohibiting new curb cuts in bus stops and on
Folsom Street between Essex and Second Street; eliminating minimum off-street parking
requirements for projects subject to the curb cut restrictions or prohibitions; and making findings
under the California Environmental Quality Act, findings of consistency with the General Plan, and
