Planning Commission approves Leland Avenue neighborhood commercial district after community-backed revisions
Summary
The San Francisco Planning Commission voted 5-2 on Feb. 6 to recommend approval of a new Leland Avenue Neighborhood Commercial District (NCD) zoning designation largely as written by community members, rejecting the Planning Department's recommendation to principally permit ground-floor childcare and residential care facilities.
The San Francisco Planning Commission voted 5-2 Thursday to recommend approval of an ordinance establishing the Leland Avenue Neighborhood Commercial District, a three-block corridor in Visitation Valley proposed by Supervisor Walton's office and local merchants.
The neighborhood-driven plan would rezone the stretch of Leland Avenue between Bayshore Boulevard and Coral Street from C-2 to a new NCD. The change would keep many existing NC-2 controls but conditionally permit some institutional ground-floor uses and prohibit fringe financial services; the Planning Department had asked the commission to principally permit childcare and residential care facilities on the ground floor, a modification the community opposed.
