Planning and<br />

Entitlement<br />

Criteria<br />

1 Displacement of existing stable<br />

residential neighborhoods<br />

0.05 0.05 0.05<br />

All of PDA is very urban, mixed-use, dynamic, and projected<br />

capacity reflects underutilized sites only, though some may be in<br />

residential use today. San Francisco has a history of requiring<br />

special assistance for displaced residents.<br />

2 Time required and difficulty in obtaining<br />

entitlement: institutional capacity and<br />

jurisdictional track record<br />

0.10 0.00 0.00<br />

2010 survey said Specific Plan, programmatic EIR, zoning code,<br />

General Plan amendments, and urban design guideline are all in<br />

place, with no other major documents/processes required. 2010<br />

survey said most vertical projects take 12-18 months to process if<br />

CEQA in place, but most major projects outside Western SOMA,<br />

Rincon Hill, and TCDP would require 24+ months.<br />

A-74<br />

C<br />

Community<br />

Support<br />

1 Elected official support for proposed<br />

PDA use types and densities during<br />

past 3 years<br />

0.00 0.00 0.00<br />

High-density TCDP was approved unanimously at the BOS, which is<br />

generally supportive of visions in the existing plans, but these don't<br />

add up to PDA projections.<br />

2 History of neighborhood opposition<br />

0.05 0.00 0.00<br />

By San Francisco standards, Downtown PDA has had relatively little<br />

opposition to development. However, San Francisco is regarded as<br />

politically challenging by many developers.<br />
