Eastern Neighborhoods Plan, It's Not Just For Policy Wonks Anymore



A year ago and a decade in the making, the draft Eastern Neighborhoods Environmental Impact Report (EIR) was first published. As we wrote at the time:

The plan aims to support long-term Planning Department goals such as greater density and housing affordability, and particularly attempts to better define zoning uses, especially for Production, Distribution, and Repair (PDR). The plan sets out three specific plan options. According to the report "...Implementation of any one of the proposed project options would result in more housing options and a broader range of housing prices and rents, compared to conditions under the No-Project scenario."
Today, the Planning Commission is finally poised to approve said neighborhood plan (1:30 p.m. at Room 400, San Francisco City Hall). And assuming our Board of Supervisors follows suit, say hello to over a hundred new projects and thousands of new homes.

Always curious to hear others opinions, what do you think of this Eastern Neighborhoods plan, BT?

I haven't studied it carefully enough to have much of an opinion--and I wasn't able to load it to look at it this morning because the web site seems gridlocked--but one opinion I do have is that there ought to be more housing--midrise at least--along the entire length of Third St. The notion of zoning housing out of anywhere along the new Muni Metro line (I'm speaking of the "Central Waterfront" portion now) is crazy in a very "San Francisco" way IMHO.
