The Central Waterfront

There are significant plans in place for the Central Waterfront district of San Francisco which will impact Potrero Hill, SOMA, and Mission Bay. Below are a few excerpts from the land use plan released by sfgov.org. There are several more reports ranging from open space to transportation, which can be found at the sfgov.org site.

The Central Waterfront includes a mixed-use district which would enable the creation of up to 1,100 housing units in the Central Waterfront within 5 years and up to 1,600 housing units over the next 20 years, according to the Planning Department’s analysis of sites likely to be redeveloped.

The Pier 70 Mixed Use District is intended to foster a lively working environment based on industrial, research and development, or creative activities. Pier 70 is very near to Mission Bay, which will also be the home to a new UCSF campus, now under construction. Generally, uses permitted in this district allow the flexibility to create a mix of arts-oriented, light industrial, research and development, institution and entertainment activities. The proliferation of general office as a principal uses is not allowed. However, a limited amount of office space related to or supportive of R&D, creative, or industrial activities at Pier 70.
