Balboa Reservoir and Community Advisory Committee (CAC)
The Balboa Reservoir neighborhood will be a diverse, inclusive mixed-income community that brings together residents and neighbors around the new Reservoir Park. This new neighborhood will include over a thousand new housing units, approximately 4 acres of open space, a new multi-modal street network, a new childcare facility, and other community amenities. The Project Master Plan and Development Agreement were approved in August 2020, and enacting legislation became effective August 28, 2020.
Background
In 2009, the Planning Commission adopted the Balboa Park Station Area Plan, a community planning effort launched in 2000 as part of the Better Neighborhoods program. The key objectives of the Balboa Park Station Area Plan call for the development of a mixed-use residential neighborhood and public open space on the Project site if the SFPUC does not need the site for water storage.
In late 2014, the Office of Economic and Workforce Development, the Planning Department and the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission initiated a study of the SFPUC-owned Balboa Reservoir site, located off of Ocean Avenue and Frida Kahlo Way. It is among the first sites slated for San Francisco's Public Land for Housing Program, which utilizes City-owned land to address the City's most pressing housing issues.
Project Review and Outreach
In 2015, the Balboa Reservoir Community Advisory Committee (“BRCAC”) was established to serve as the primary forum for community feedback on the development of a master plan for the project site. After a two-year outreach, visioning, and selection process, in 2017 the City chose the development team, which consisted of a partnership between BRIDGE Housing and Avalon Bay Communities (learn more about the selection process here). Then, the City and the development team together began an extensive planning process with City agencies, the BRCAC, and the community. In 2018, the project team initiated the project’s environmental review process and continued community design workshops and tours, providing the opportunity to discuss open space, streetscape, and architectural designs.
The Project’s Master Plan and Development Agreement (DA) – the latter establishes the terms of the Balboa Reservoir project between the City and the Project Sponsor – were unanimously approved by the Planning Commission and Board of Supervisors in May 2020 and August 2020, respectively. Mayor London Breed signed the legislation enacting the Development Agreement on August 28, 2020. See Supporting Info Tab for adopted documents and other resources.
Program Elements
The Project, as described in the DA and Master Plan document – also known as the Design Standards and Guidelines or “DSG” – will include the following program elements:
Housing
- A total of approximately 1,100 new housing units
- 50% affordable (approximately 550 units, including 150 affordable educator units)
- A minimum of 40% of total units with two bedrooms or more
Open Space
Approximately 4 acres of new open space, including:
- The ~2-acre “Reservoir Park” would provide a children's play area, community gardens, multipurpose lawn areas, and other amenities.
- The ~1 acre “SFPUC Retained Fee Open Space” would provide a flexible plaza, a play area, and pedestrian paseos.
- Small open spaces and plazas, shared public ways, and paseos (pedestrian-only corridors)
Community Facilities and Amenities
- Publicly Accessible Community room
- 100-seat childcare center (50% reserved for low income families)
Transportation and Parking
- Transportation and circulation improvements and utility infrastructure improvements including a new multi-modal street network and bike infrastructure.
- A maximum of 550 residential parking spaces and 450 public parking spaces in below grade or fully wrapped parking structures allowed.
Environmental Resilience and Sustainability
- The San Francisco Sustainable Neighborhood Framework (SNF), supporting San Francisco’s commitment to be a net-zero city by 2050: healthy air, renewable energy, clean water, robust ecosystems, and zero waste.
- Environmental Leadership project (ELP) under California State Assembly Bill 900
- All buildings to be built to LEED Gold standard or better
