(a) General. A Special Use District entitled the Candlestick Point Activity Node Special Use District, the boundaries of which are designated on Sectional Map Nos. SU09 and SU10 of the Zoning Map of the City and County of San Francisco, is hereby established for the purposes set forth below. The Candlestick Point Activity Node Special Use District is generally bounded by Jamestown Avenue north of Hunters Point Expressway and south of Giants Drive to the south and southwest; Bayview Hill Park to the southwest; Gilman Park to the northwest; the southwest, northwest, and northeast outer boundaries of Alice Griffith Housing to the north; the San Francisco Bay shoreline along Candlestick Point State Recreation Area from Arelious Walker Drive to Hunters Point Expressway to the east and south. The boundaries of the Candlestick Point Activity Node Special Use District correlate with the boundaries of both the Candlestick Point Activity Node and Zone 1 of Area B of the Bayview Hunters Point Redevelopment Project Area, as amended on August 3, 2010. A large portion of the Candlestick Point State Recreation Area is included in this Special Use District.
(b) Purpose. The purpose of the Candlestick Point Activity Node Special Use District is to enable development of the Candlestick Point - Hunters Point Shipyard Phase 2 Development Project, a high density, transit-oriented, mixed-use development (housing, retail, office, performance venue, and community uses) with significant open space and public realm improvements, as provided for in Zone 1 of the Bayview Hunters Point Redevelopment Plan, as amended on August 3, 2010, the Candlestick Point Design for Development document dated June 3, 2010, and the Candlestick Point Subarea Plan of the Bayview Hunters Point Area Plan of the San Francisco General Plan. Among its many goals, this Special Use District seeks to: create additional public parks and public open space, particularly along the waterfront; improve the quality, availability, and affordability of housing; build the Alice Griffith housing site; and provide commercial opportunities and jobs for residents of the Bayview. Integral to the intended mixed-use development is the provision of buildings at a variety of heights, ranging from approximately 40 feet to 420 feet tall.
(c) Controls. All provisions of the Planning Code that would otherwise apply in the Candlestick Point Activity Node Special Use District are superseded by the Bayview Hunters Point Redevelopment Plan, as amended on August 3, 2010, and the Candlestick Point Design for Development document dated June 3, 2010 except as provided therein. Amendments to land use and development controls under the Bayview Hunters Point Redevelopment Plan or to the Candlestick Point Design for Development document dated June 3, 2010 shall be as provided in each of those respective documents.
