EXECUTIVE PARK –GENERAL PLAN AMENDMENTS
- the 71-acre Executive Park Subarea Plan Area is located in the southeastern
part of San Francisco, just east of U.S. Highway 101 and along the San
Francisco/San Mateo County border. It is generally bounded by Highway 101 to its
west, Bayview Hill to its North, Jamestown Avenue to its east(but not those

the Executive Park Subarea Plan of the Bayview Hunters Point Area Plan of the
General Plan, the Land Use Index and other minor General Plan Map and Figures,
pursuant to Planning Code Section 340(c). The amended Subarea Plan would
establish objectives and policies to transform Executive Park from a partial
office park to a mixed-use, predominately residential, pedestrian-oriented
neighborhood; and would provide objectives and policies to guide land use,
streets and transportation, urban design, community facilities and services, and
recreation and open space issues. The amended Subarea Plan would also establish
a new publicly accessible street grid and open space network. The land Use
Index and various maps and figures throughout the General Plan would also be
amended to reflect the Subarea Plan changes. These amendments along with
proposed Planning Code Text Changes, Zoning Map Changes and the establishment of
Design Guidelines would accommodate up to and additional 1,600 dwelling units,
approximately 70,000 gross square feet of retail, approximately 2,425 off-street
parking spaces, and other associated uses, in approximately thirteen buildings
that would range between 65-feet to 240-feet tall.

EXECUTIVE PARK –PLANNING CODE TEXT AMENDMENTS
- the 71-acre Executive Park Subarea Plan Area is located in the southeastern
part of San Francisco, just east of U.S. Highway 101 and along the San
Francisco/San Mateo County border. It is generally bounded by Highway 101 to its
west, Bayview Hill to its North, Jamestown Avenue to its east(but not those

for buildings within the office park portion of the site that would, among other
things, allow for density transfers across the site, and include requirements
for street and open space improvements. The new height and bulk provisions
would generally allow buildings between 65-feet and 85-feet along with three
towers between the heights of 170 to 240 feet. The design review provisions
would require review by the Planning Commission of all new development
projects. These amendments along with proposed changes to General Plan

approximately 70,000 gross square feet of retail, approximately 2,425 off-street
parking spaces and other associated uses, in approximately thirteen buildings
that would range between 65-feet to 240-feet tall.
