Housing Choice SF Program Supplemental (HC-SF Program)

The Housing Choice-San Francisco Program (HC-SF Program) provides developers and property owners with greater housing development capacity through increased flexibility, modified development standards, incentives, and the option to seek Major Modifications from the Planning Commission when projects do not otherwise meet the standards outlined in Planning Code Section 206.10.

Similar to the State Density Bonus Law, the HC-SF Program allows housing development at greater capacity than otherwise permitted. However, the HC-SF Program operates within parameters, such as height and bulk controls, that must comply with local code standards, and it does not require the provision of on-site affordable housing to access the additional capacity.
