Bayview Industrial Triangle Zoning Update

Examining potential opportunities through zoning refinements.

The Bayview Industrial Triangle (BIT), a former Redevelopment Agency Plan Area, is included in the Bayview Industrial Triangle Plan.

On April 21, 2020 the Board of Supervisors passed the Bayview Industrial Triangle Redevelopment Area Rezoning (Res. No. 200086) and Cannabis Restricted Use District (Res. No. 200087). Full legislative details are available here and here.

The Bayview Industrial Triangle Rezoning became effective on May 31, 2020 and will officially act as the zoning controls in the Bayview Industrial Triangle once the Redevelopment Plan  expires on June 30, 2020.

Adopted in 1980 by the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency and the City of San Francisco, the Bayview Industrial Triangle Plan included numerous policies that supported:

  • Preserving and expanding the industrial and commercial development;
  • Creating a buffer between industrial areas and residential/commercial uses on 3rd Street; and
  • Address blight and support economic development.

To ensure these goals of the Bayview Industrial Triangle continue after the Redevelopment Plan expires in June 2020, the Planning Department is recommending updated zoning to:

  1. support economic development and community stabilization, protect and allow expansion and growth of existing industrial businesses, and allow for a range of production distribution and repair businesses off 3rd Street and
  2. allow a mix of commercial and residential uses along 3rd Street

The overall goal of the study is to evaluate opportunities to better support economic development and community stabilization, protect existing industrial businesses, maintain a buffer between industrial and residential uses, and allow for a range of industrial, mixed-use commercial, and residential spaces to the area as it grows. 

More specifically, this may include: 

  • Analyzing existing neighborhood conditions and land use policies;
  • Establish more defined zoning requirements for BIT parcels to ensure continued protection of industrial uses while accommodating other uses, such as residential and neighborhood retail, and
  • Collaborate with and solicit feedback from key stakeholders to ensure updates can meet the community’s needs.
