The India Basin Shoreline is located on the eastern edge

The area is bounded by Jennings Street on the northwest,

the southwest, Hunters Point Shipyard to the southeast,
and San Francisco Bay to the northeast. Among other
properties, this area includes the decommissioned PG&E

Sub-Area Plan
Redevelopment Plan Amendment
A Sub-Area plan is a component of the City’s General Plan. Right
now there is a Bayview Hunters Point Area Plan, which briefly
discusses the India Basin Shoreline plan area. The Sub-Area
plan will be more detailed and cover the following areas; land
use, community design and built form, historic preservation,
transportation and circulation, open space, and community
facilities and services. A Sub-Area plan provides overall policy
direction for a specific area.
The Redevelopment Agency has proposed a redevelopment
plan amendment to add the India Basin Shoreline SubArea, or Survey Area C, to the existing Bayview Hunters
Point (BVHP) Redevelopment Project Area. The two areas
would be treated essentially as one project area for public
financing and implementation. The existing BVHP policies
for Affordable Housing and Economic Development would
also apply to this area. Some new provisions are proposed
as part of the plan amendment for the development of large
lots and constructing public improvements within Survey
Area C.

As a precursor to the India Basin Community Planning
Process, the Bayview Hunters Point Project Area
Committee (PAC) created and adopted the Bayview
Hunters Point Community Revitalization Concept Plan,
a vision document for the Bayview. The Concept Plan
includes broad general concepts for India Basin (referred
to in the Plan as the “Hunters Point Shoreline”), which
among other things, calls for mixed-use development,
water-oriented and recreational activities, the integration
of the neighborhood on the Hill with the India Basin
Shoreline, and improved pedestrian waterfront access.
The principles set out in the Concept Plan have been
used as a framework to inform this community planning
process.

At our June 25th community workshop, Redevelopment
and Planning staff presented a proposed set of policies
and improvements for the India Basin Shoreline. These
documents include the proposed India Basin Sub-Area
Plan (part of the existing Bayview Hunters Point Area
Plan), new zoning and height designations, design
S
With significant shoreline access opportunities and large
undeveloped properties, India Basin Shoreline is truly
a unique area within San Francisco. However, much of
the area is currently zoned for industrial uses. This is an
opportunity to think creatively about what types of uses
and activities that would fit best in this area.

The India Basin Shoreline Community Planning Process
began in 2007, and is a joint effort between the San
Francisco Planning Department and the San Francisco
Northridge
Redevelopment Agency, with leadership from the Bayview
Hunters Point Project Area Committee (PAC). To date there
have been six community workshops, one communitywide meeting, and many informal office hours. In August
2009, Staff gave informational presentations before the
Planning Commission and Redevelopment Commission.

Zoning controls are the primary way that the city regulates the
use of land. (It is zoning, for example, that allows tall buildings to
be built downtown, while prohibiting them in outlying residential
neighborhoods.) Today much of the India Basin Shoreline is
zoned for industrial uses. The entire stretch of Hunters Point
Boulevard and Innes Avenue is zoned for neighborhood
commercial uses, and the existing parks are zoned for public
uses. This community planning process is an opportunity to
revisit the zoning, and perhaps develop new zoning that is more
consistent with the desired land uses and the vision for the area.
AV
Get involved
There are a number of ways you can get involved and learn
more about the community planning process. Please join our
mailing list to receive information about upcoming workshops
and hearings. Please visit the Planning Department website
with updated information about the project. Use the
information below to contact us with questions or provide
feedback.
The Bayview Project Area Committee meets monthly at the
Southeast Facility. Planning and Agency staff often present at
these meetings. Meeting agendas can be found on the PAC
website. http://www.bvhp-pac.org/meetings.htm
The entire plan area has a maximum building height of 40 feet.
This process is also an opportunity to restrict heights, to discuss
where taller heights may be more appropriate, and where lower
heights may be more appropriate.
Design Guidelines
Since much of the area is not developed, and the proposed
zoning provides flexibility for land uses, design guidelines have
been created. These guidelines provide principles to layout new
streets and blocks, and provide design direction of how to relate
new development to the overall site. These guidelines also
address four topic areas including; built form, the public realm,
parking and access, and sustainability.
Community Benefits and Amenities
The following priority community enhancements have been
identified for the India Basin Shoreline:
A permanent dedication of public open space including
an athletic field or dog park;
The dedication of land for public uses such as a
recreation center, community center or new public
school;
Historic preservation of identified historic resources;
The creation of new cultural or art spaces within a
development project;
The development or improvement of maritime uses
such as a public boat launch, a boat building shop or
school, or boating or kayaking facilities;
Improved streets and sidewalks;
The rebuild and/or renovation of the hillside staircases;
Completion of the Bay Trail, with improvements on the
PG&E site and the link across Hudson Avenue.
These community enhancements would be in addition to the
redevelopment programs for affordable housing, economic
development and workforce development.
