For current provisions relating to the 1500 Page Street Affordable Housing Special Use District, see Sec. 249.47.
(a) General. In the Hunters View Special Use District and the 40/65-X Height and Bulk District, exceptions to the 40-foot base height up to 65 feet may be approved by the Planning Commission, in appropriate cases, as part of a Planned Unit Development, and as provided herein.
(b) Purpose. The San Francisco Housing Authority, in partnership with the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency, proposes to demolish the existing public housing on the Hunters View site and to develop a mixture of public housing, affordable rental and ownership housing, and market-rate housing to replace it. It is anticipated that the project will be developed in multiple phases. Proceeds from the sale of the market rate units will be used to cross-collateralize the construction of the public housing and rental units. In order to achieve a successful program, the density of the Hunters View site will be increased from 267 units to up to 800 units. Due to the difficult topography of the site, such density cannot be achieved without an increase in the height limit for the site.
(c) Height Exceptions. Such height exceptions may be permitted provided that the following criteria, in addition to those stated in Section 303(c), are met:
(1) The height of the building or structure so approved by the Planning Commission does not exceed 65 feet.
(2) The principal use of the building or structure for which the additional height is sought is residential.
(3) The additional height will not add significant shadows on property under the jurisdiction of the Recreation and Park Commission pursuant to Section 295.
(4) The development as a whole, and any building or structure that is over 40 feet, provides an appropriate transition to adjacent higher or lower buildings or structures.
(5) No more than 35% of the gross area of the site will contain buildings or structures exceeding 50 feet in height and no more than 50% of the gross area of the site will contain buildings or structures exceeding 40 feet in height, as measured pursuant to Section 304(d)(6). Building heights in excess of 40 feet shall only be allowed in accordance with a Design for Development or other design guidelines approved by the Planning Commission as a part of a Planned Unit Development. Where such a Design for Development or other design guidelines is approved as part of a Planned Unit Development and provides more stringent restrictions on the amount of site area that can contain buildings over 40 feet than set forth in this subsection (5), the said Design for Development or design guidelines shall govern.

(a) Purpose. Arts activities are encouraged in the Western SoMa Planning Area Special Use District, and especially in the SALI District. Therefore, additional development potential is provided in the SALI District when additional space is provided for the exclusive use of arts activities.
(b) Applicability. This Section shall apply to all properties zoned SALI and a Height and Bulk district of 40-55-X.
(c) Controls.
(1) Additional Height Permitted. In SALI Districts in the 40-55-X Height and Bulk District, buildings are limited to a maximum height of 40 feet unless all of the following criteria are met, in which case they may extend to a maximum height of 55 feet:
(A) At least one Story of the Building, as defined in Section 102, located on the First Story or above, as defined in Section 102 under the definition for Story, is designated for the exclusive use of Arts Activities, as defined in Section 102. If the First Story is designed for the use of Arts Activities, it shall also be permitted to contain lobbies, egress, building services, and other features necessary for the operation of the building and permitted uses elsewhere in the building.
(B) Any such story dedicated to arts activities pursuant to Subsections (2) and (3) below, regardless of its location within the building, shall have a minimum floor-to-floor height of 15 feet.
(2) Timing of Designation. In the case of the new construction of a building that extends beyond 40 feet in height, exclusive of permitted obstructions under Section 260(b), any designated arts activity story shall be established prior to the issuance of a first building permit or along with any associated Planning Commission action, whichever occurs first. In the case of buildings that were constructed prior to the effective date of this Section that would be expanded such that they would extend beyond 40 feet in height, exclusive of permitted obstructions under Section 260(b), any such story shall be designated prior to the issuance of any building permit or along with any associated Planning Commission action, whichever occurs first.
(3) Recordation of Designation. Notice of the designation of the arts activities story shall be recorded as a restriction on the deed of the property along with plans clearly depicting the designated story in relation to the balance of the building. A designated arts activity story may be re-designated to a different story within the same building only if the newly designated story meets the minimum criteria listed above. Such re-designation shall follow all required procedures listed in this Section for the initial designation of an arts activities story. In no case may the designated arts activity story be converted to a use other than arts activity without complete removal of all portions of the building that extend above 40 feet in height, exclusive of permitted obstructions under Section 260(b).
