(a) Purpose and Boundaries. A Special Use District entitled the “India Basin Special Use District” (SUD) is hereby established, located generally at Innes Avenue between Griffith Street and Earl Street, along the India Basin shoreline, in the southeast part of San Francisco. The precise boundaries of the SUD are shown on Sectional Map SU09 of the Zoning Map. The purpose of this SUD is to implement the Development Agreement for the India Basin Mixed-Use Project (Project), approved by the Board of Supervisors in the ordinance in Board File No. 180680. The Project will provide several benefits to the City, such as a significant amount of open space, increased public access, commercial space, extensive infrastructure improvements, and affordable housing, while creating jobs, housing, and a vibrant community.
(b) Public Trust. Within this SUD, certain property is or will be subject to the public trust for commerce, navigation, and fisheries (the Public Trust) in accordance with a public trust exchange and title settlement agreement with the State of California. The Port of San Francisco (Port) has jurisdiction over the Public Trust property, with the right to prohibit uses that are not consistent with the Public Trust. The Port also shall issue permits for any improvements on the Public Trust property, subject to any delegation by the Port to another City agency. The Recreation and Park Department will operate and maintain the public parks and open spaces located on Public Trust property, in accordance with an agreement with the Port and in accordance with the open space covenant attached to the Development Agreement (Open Space Covenant). The Planning Commission has jurisdiction over the permitting for any development of property within the SUD that is not subject to the Public Trust.
(c) Relationship to Design Standards and Guidelines. The Design Standards and Guidelines (DSG), as may be periodically amended, are incorporated into this SUD and set forth standards and guidelines applicable within the SUD. A copy of the DSG is on file with the Planning Department and is available on its website. This SUD and the DSG shall be read and construed together so as to avoid any conflict to the greatest extent possible. If there is an unavoidable conflict between the SUD and the DSG, the SUD shall prevail. The Planning Director may make adjustments to the DSG for areas within the Planning Commission’s jurisdiction, provided any material amendment to the DSG, as determined by the Planning Director, will be subject to the review and approval of the Planning Commission. Adjustments to the DSG for areas outside of the Planning Commission’s jurisdiction, such as adjustments to the public right-of-ways, public infrastructure, or recreational facilities within the parks, may be made by the Public Works Director, the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission General Manager, or the Recreation and Park Department General Manager, as applicable, subject to the requirements of the Development Agreement and the Open Space Covenant and following consultation with the Planning Director.
(d) Relationship to Other Planning Code Provisions. Applicable provisions of the Planning Code shall control except as otherwise provided in this SUD, the DSG within the control of the Planning Commission or Recreation and Park Commission, and the Development Agreement (for so long as the Development Agreement is in effect). In the event of a conflict between other provisions of the Planning Code and the DSG or this SUD (and further subject to subsection (e) below), this SUD shall control first, followed by the DSG and the Planning Code.
(e) Relationship to the Development Agreement. This SUD shall be read and construed consistent with the Development Agreement, and all development within the Project Site shall satisfy the requirements of the Development Agreement for so long as it remains in effect for each part of the Project Site.
