The Washington Avenue Blue Ribbon Panel (WABRP) Zoning Incentives "'
Recommendations for the Washington Avenue CD-2W Commercial, o
Medium Intensity District for Washington Avenue as summarized in this'
document will serve to assist the City in implementing the goals and objectives
of the Washington Avenue Master Plan. The intent of the proposed changes
to the existing CD-2 zoning designation to CD-2W is to create a sustainable /\
Washington Avenue Main Street where "residents and tourists can enjoy unique
boutiques, ethnic restaurants, convenient services, edgy nightlife and cultural \
experiences, all within our walkable low scale historic architecture."
The GOALS and OBJECTIVES of the Washington"Avenue Master Plan is to
1. Preserve the historical, architectural and cultural character of
Washington Avenue as the City's"Main Street -"
2. Provide for redevelopment,adaptive reuse and infill resulting in
economic vitality for the betterment of the community,and the City as
a whole; i' , \ \
/
3. Create commercial development opportunities that provides quality
goods and services to neighborhood residents and tourists alike;
4. Allow for a high level of mobility for pedestrians,cyclists,automobiles
and public transit;and
5. Allow for quality public spaces and beach access to capitalize on the
corridor's location and surrounding environs.
The CD-2W Zoning Incentives enable flexible building design by encouraging
a variety of uses, heights, and forms without changing the CD-2 Base FAR.
Variations in height allowances, setbacks, parking requirements and bonus FAR
provisions to include office use enable additional capacity throughout the City's
main street while maintaining and preserving its authentic historical,architectural
and cultural character and scale. The Zoning Incentives describe maximum
development allowances; however, the ability to maximize these allowances will
depend on a number of factors including but not limited to:
(a) Other regulations as applicable in the City's Zoning Code.
(b)The physical characteristics of any particular development site.

3. PARKLETS PROGRAM FOR WASHINGTON AVENUE
v)
The proposed PARKLETS PROGRAM for Washington Avenue is intended >
to repurpose parts of the street into public spaces for people with the main z
z
purpose of creating aesthetic enhancements to the streetscape, and providing Z
an economical solution to the need for wider sidewalks,outdoor cafe seating and
increased public open space.Parklets provide amenities like seating,planting,bike z
parking,and art.In order to incentivize outdoor cafes and the implementation o
of PARKLETS along Washington Avenue, it is recommended that the City 3
waive sidewalk cafe permit fees for five years and charge no permit fees for o
PARKLETS for five years. w
D
Z
The world's first formal public parklets were initially conceived and installed Q
in San Francisco in 2010. As of February 2013, thirty-eight parklets have been z
O
installed and the program is being emulated in cities around the world. The
San Francisco Pavement to Parks Program has facilitated the conversion of
utilitarian and non-pedestrian friendly or underused spaces in the street into
publicly accessible open spaces available for all to enjoy. The Program provides
a path for merchants, community organizations, business owners, and residents
to take action in the development and beautification of the city's public realm.
Parklets enhance neighborhoods by adding beauty and whimsy to a city's streets.
They reflect the diversity and creativity of the people and organizations who
sponsor and design them.They also reflect a city's commitment to encouraging
walking and biking, creating great streets, and strengthening communities.
Parklets catalyze vitality and activity in a city's commercial districts.They support
local business communities by encouraging pedestrians to longer.
Parklets can serve as neighborhood anchors and destination points—providing
spaces for neighbors to gather and get to know one another. Collectively,
parklets broaden the potential for the public realm to engage-and delight while
adding much needed open space to a city's commercial corridors.

Pavement to Parks and the Parklet Manual were created by the San Francisco >
Planning Department in close collaboration with the San Francisco Department z
of Public Works, the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency, and z
the Mayor's Office on Disability. The San Francisco Parklet Manual is a
comprehensive overview of the goals, policies, processes, procedures, and • Z
guidelines for creating a parklet in San Francisco. The Manual also serves //2 0
as a resource for those outside of San Francisco working to establish parklet % /� 3 ri
programs in their own cities. �,

Applicants and designers in San Francisco are strongly encouraged to read they Z

Parklet Manual in its entirety when they are first thinking about proposing a . 1-
parklet,and to refer to it often throughout the process. Understanding what the
program is trying to achieve and the process and regulations for a,successful 3
parklet may reduce the time it takes to receive a permit, and will likely result in
a superior parklet design. �
Process Overview \, \
The San Francisco Parklet Manual outlines a step-by-step process for design,
permitting and construction of parklets to include the following:'

Stakeholder Roles >
Application Intake and Design Review.
The San Francisco Planning Department (SF Planning) is responsible for ?
O
ensuring that parklets are well designed and are a positive addition to the public
realm. SF Planning is the primary point of contact throughout the pre-design,
public outreach,public notice,and design processes,and helps steward projects
through the permitting process.SF Planning can also help resolve design issues
w
raised by MTA or DPW if necessary.SF Planning is also responsible for ensuring
that parklets reflect the goals and intent of the Parklet Program, and that the Q
parklet design articulated in the final construction drawings and approved by Z
the city is what is actually built. o
Transportation Review and Bike Coordination. "'
The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency(MTA)reviews parklets to
ensure there are no immediate or known traffic, transit, pedestrian, bicycle, or
circulation related issues.If a parklet includes bicycle parking,the MTA provides \
guidance on bike rack selection, placement, spacing, and the bike-parking
approval process. If a parklet is proposed in or near a color curb zone, MTA
provides guidance on how to relocate those zones or how to_design.the parklet
to accommodate them.
///
Permitting and Inspection. \,/
The San Francisco Department of Public Works (DPW) is\responsible for
ensuring that parklets satisfy all technical requirements of`the Public Works
Code and DPW Standards. They verify that parklets are well constructed,
safe,and accessible. Once a parklet design and plans are approved by all three
agencies, DPW will issue permits and conduct inspections during and after
parklet construction. DPW is also responsible for ensuring that built parklets
meet maintenance and upkeep requirements, remain open to the public, and
comply with permit regulations. If significant public concern is expressed about
the installation of a parklet,DPW will conduct a public hearing before a hearings
officer to determine if the parklet permit should be renewed or some other
enforcement action taken.
Design,Capital Costs, Liability and Maintenance.
Project sponsors are responsible for conducting outreach, designing, funding,
and constructing their parklets. They also assume liability for the parklet and
ensure the parklet is well-maintained and kept in good repair.
