Relocation and Housing Project – Informational Hearing. The project
sponsor, SFMOMA, proposes to expand the existing SFMOMA located at 151 Third
Street (Assessor Block 3722, Lot 78) and relocate Fire Station No. 1 from its
existing 676 Howard Street location (Assessor Block 3722, Lot 28) to
935 Folsom Street (Assessor Block 3753, Lot 140). The sponsor proposes
demolition of the existing 35,000-square-foot, 4-story-over-basement building at
670 Howard Street (Block 3753, Lot 27), demolition of the existing
12,000-square-foot, 2-story-with-mezannine Fire Station No. 1 at 676 Howard
Street, and vacation of a 115-by-30-foot land-locked portion of Hunt Street
located between 151 Third and 670 and 676 Howard Street to accommodate the
museum expansion. SFMOMA would construct an approximately 200-foot-tall,
230,000-square-foot building addition at the rear of the 151 Third site, on the
670-676 Howard Street parcels and the vacated Hunt Street right-of-way to house
the museum’s expanding art collections, and to create galleries to display the
Doris and Donald Fisher Collection. The proposed expansion would connect to the
existing museum and accommodate expanded gallery, public and support spaces, a
publicly-accessible renovated ground-floor, expanded restaurant, a new Howard
Street entrance, and a relocated ticketing area on the second floor with
galleries and support spaces on the floors above. The existing building at 935
Folsom Street (formerly used for apparel manufacturing and commercial laundry,
currently vacant) would be demolished, the site subdivided, and a new
15,000-square-foot, 2-story plus mezzanine replacement fire station would be
constructed on the northern portion of the parcel fronting Folsom Street.
At-grade parking would be provided for 15 vehicles on the site. On the southern
portion of 935 Folsom Street, a 4-story, approximately 43-foot-tall residential
building would be constructed comprising up to 13 residential units and 10
off-street parking spaces in the building’s basement level. The 151 Third Street
site is located in a C-3-O (Downtown Office) Use District and a 500-I Height and
Bulk District. 670 Howard Street is located in a C-3-S (Downtown Support) Use
District and a 320-I/500-I Height and Bulk District. 676 Howard Street is
located in a P (Public) and a 320-I/500-I Height and Bulk District. The 935
Folsom Street parcel is located in a MUR (Mixed-Use Residential) Use District
and an 85-X/45-X Height and Bulk District, and the SOMA Youth and Family Special
Use District. The projects are subject to the California Environmental Quality
Act and would require a determination of compliance with the Downtown Plan;
vacation of Hunt Street and conveyance to SFMOMA; rezoning of 676 Howard Street
from P to
C-3-S; amendment of the Disposition and Development Agreement with the
Redevelopment Agency; lot merger; rezoning of 935 Folsom Street from MUR to P;
lot subdivision; design approval for a new public building (Arts Commission);
and demolition and building permits.
