It’s upwards for Westside San Francisco: Two new proposals could see heights rise between 65-85 ft, with some areas going taller.
Historically, these regions have shirked their share of housing production. Planners want to raise height limits along main commercial or transit corridors, such as Geary Boulevard, Fulton Avenue, the west part of 24th Street, Van Ness Avenue and Church Street., building four-plexes across most of the Westside is possible, with six-plexes legal on street corners.
The two drafts mainly differ on whether increasing heights should be restricted to transit and commercial corridors. “I think we saw people really grappling with some of the trade-offs,” Chen said. The “decontrolled” areas of Concept One “bring some advantages, in terms of just distributing the growth more broadly” beyond main corridors, and “maybe creating a transition from the corridors down into the neighborhoods,” said Lisa Chen, a principal city planner.
