Document Description
Project Description: The project site is located at 801 and 834 Toland Street in the Bayview Hunters Point Area of the City of San Francisco. The site is bounded on the north by McKinnon Avenue, Barneveld Avenue to the west, Newcomb Avenue to the south and Selby Street and Interstate 280 to the east. The two parcels are separated by Toland Street with 801 Toland Street to the east and 834 Toland Street to the west. The San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD) currently owns and operates a large central warehouse facility at 801 Toland Street and three buildings at 834 Toland Street used for administrative, maintenance, and workshop functions. The building at 801 Toland Street also houses SCRAP, a local non-profit whose lease of this site supports SFUSD’s waste diversion program.
SFUSD will construct the Student Nutrition Services Food Hub + Shops Project to provide expanded space for several of SFUSD’s operations and student services departments. The project includes demolition of the existing buildings at 801 Toland Street and 834 Toland Street and the construction of a new warehouse at 834 Toland Street and a new building at 801 Toland Streets to house SFUSD’s Buildings & Grounds, Student Nutrition Services and Transportation departments, as well as a multi-level parking structure.
The project includes the following elements:
? Demolition of the existing buildings at 801 Toland Street (approximately 112,900 square feet) and 834 Toland Street (approximately 27,800 square feet).
? Construction of a new two-story building at 801 Toland Street that will house the Student Nutrition Services and Buildings and Grounds divisions, which includes a commercial kitchen, dry/refrigerated/freezer storage, distribution facilities, workshops, and offices (approximately 143,800 square feet). This building will include two truck loading docks facing north (McKinnon Street) that provide three long-haul truck spaces each and one dock facing east (Selby Street) with eight small box truck spaces.
? Construction of a four-level parking structure at 801 Toland Street (approximately 76,900 square feet) with 158 parking spaces for employees and SFUSD fleet vehicles. The parking structure will provide parking for both the 801 Toland Street and the 834 Toland Street parcels. Vehicles will enter and exit the parking structure from a driveway on Toland Street, near McKinnon Avenue.
? Construction of a single-story building at 834 Toland Street to house the Facilities department and a waste diversion tenant (approximately 53,800 square feet). The building will include three truck loading docks and a van loading dock.
? Project construction will be phased. Demolition and construction at 801 Toland will require approximately 14 months and is expected to begin in fall 2026. Staff and operations currently at 834 Toland Street will be relocated to 801 Toland once construction is complete. Demolition and construction at 834 Toland will require approximately 12 months and is expected to begin in spring 2028.
? The project will implement a dust control plan in accordance with the City/County of San Francisco Construction Dust Control Ordinance. The dust control plan will include all provisions established in Section 106.3.2.6.3 of the Municipal Code and applicable enhanced site-specific dust control measures.
? The construction contractor will demonstrate that all 50-horsepower or greater diesel-powered equipment is powered with Tier 4 Final engines certified by the California Air Resources Board (CARB) and that all such equipment shall be used during Project construction unless equipment with Tier 4 Final engines is not reasonably available and commensurate reductions in criteria air pollutant emissions can be achieved from other combinations of construction equipment.
? The project buildings will be all-electric. No natural gas will be used. The project does not include a permanent back-up generator.
? Additional off-road equipment (i.e., forklift) used during operations on the project site will be zero-emission or electric.
? The project includes implementation of the following best management practices to minimize construction noise:
o To the extent feasible construction activities will be scheduled to avoid concurrent operation of several pieces of construction equipment proximate to an offsite noise-sensitive receptor.
o All construction equipment, fixed or mobile, will be equipped with properly operating and maintained mufflers.
o Construction noise will be reduced by shutting off idling equipment and using electric air compressors and similar power tools, rather than diesel equipment, where feasible.
o Construction hours, allowable workdays, and the phone number of the job superintendent will be clearly posted at all construction entrances to allow surrounding property owners to contact the job superintendent if necessary. In the event the SFUSD receives a complaint, appropriate corrective actions will be implemented and a report of the action provided to the reporting party.
