Document Title: 399 Fremont Street Project
Document Type: OTH - Other Document
Received: 4/11/2005
Present Land Use: Industrial, commercial, housing, parking. Rincon Hill SUD, Mixed Use.

Document Description: The San Francisco Planning Department proposes to amend the Area Plan for the Rincon Hill Area and to combine the Planning Code's Rincon Hill Special Use District sub-area designations (Residential and Commercial/Industrial sub-areas) into one Rincon Hill Mixed Use (RHM) District, to increase height limits, and to make other changes intended to stimulate additional high density, residential development in the Rincon Hill area. The proposal would also rezone five parcels north of Folsom Street, between Main and Spear Streets, and would enact a 15-foot legislated setback (beyond the existing 10-foot sidewalk) on the north side of Folsom Street in order to ensure that future development in the area does not preclude development of a widened sidewalk and "boulevard' treatment for this section of Folsom Street. Amendments of the San Francisco General Plan and Planning Code, including text and zoning map changes, would be required for the proposal.
