Existing zoning did not include a Non-Profit Arts Education Special Use District.

Amend the Planning Code to create the Non-Profit Arts Education Special Use District located at Assessor’s Parcel Block No. 49 Lot No. 1, generally bounded by Francisco, Jones, Chestnut, and Leavenworth Streets, and numbered as 800 Chestnut Street.

The creation of the Non-Profit Arts Education Special Use District would potentially impact land use and development within the specified boundaries of the district, with a focus on non-profit arts education.

The ordinance aligns with the California Environmental Quality Act, is consistent with the General Plan, and addresses the eight priority policies of Planning Code Section 101, demonstrating the city's support of non-profit arts education institutions.

The amendment was reviewed and acted upon during a Land Use and Transportation Committee meeting and is subject to further discussions in upcoming committee meetings.

The San Francisco Planning Department is responsible for affirming compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act and the Land Use and Transportation Committee is accountable for reviewing the proposal and presenting it in Board meetings.
