Commission initiates Central Waterfront/Dogpatch public‑realm plan, setting adoption hearing for August
Summary
Planning staff introduced the Central Waterfront Dogpatch Public Realm Plan to guide streetscape, parks and open‑space investments; the commission initiated a General Plan amendment and scheduled an adoption hearing on or after Aug. 23, 2018.
The Planning Commission voted unanimously to initiate a General Plan amendment to adopt the Central Waterfront Dogpatch Public Realm Plan. Planning staff presented a multi‑agency plan developed since 2015 to guide streetscape and park investments, prioritize pedestrian infrastructure, and coordinate public agencies on implementation. The plan identifies early implementation projects, including Esprit Park improvements and complete‑street investments with interagency funding commitments.
Staff emphasized the plan’s role as an implementation tool that aligns public investments and private development, and noted existing budgeted work (for example, impact fees and UCSF contributions for Esprit Park). Commissioners praised the interagency collaboration and the plan’s community outreach process; the commission moved to initiate the General Plan amendment and to schedule an adoption hearing on or after August 23, 2018. Staff said more detailed materials and maps are available on the Planning Department website and committed to distributing printed maps to supervisors and community stakeholders.
