Document Description
The project sponsor proposes to undertake a mixed-use project that would create up to 1,919,847 gsf of office uses, 250,000 gsf of retail (including up to 100,000 gsf for entertainment, and up to 75,000 square feet near the top of the tower for potential observation deck), 90,000 gsf of residential (44–120 units at 25 Beale), 7,500 square feet for outdoor entertainment, and up to 135,000 square feet for below grade parking (for 277–480 spaces), accessed primarily from Main and/or Beale streets (with the existing Mission Street curb cut maintained). In addition, up to 250,000 gsf of institutional uses could be substituted for office uses. In total the project would include 2,402,347 gsf of built area including 2,267,347 gsf of non-parking area and 135,000 gsf of parking area. The project proposes to demolish the existing 77 Beale Street office tower and construct a new mixed-use tower of up to 1,225 feet in height with an up to 75-foot architectural crown/spire. This new tower would exceed the height of the Sales Force Tower, which is currently the City’s tallest building, by approximately 200 feet. Implementation of the project would include amendments to the San Francisco Planning Code and the Zoning, Height and Bulk, and Special Use District (SUD) maps, including changes to the permitted uses, height and bulk, and SUD boundaries. The project site’s zoning would be amended to add a new Matson/PG&E Block SUD to establish specific land use controls for the project site in addition to the C 3 O(SD) Downtown Office (Special Development) base zoning, and to incorporate Design Standards and Guidelines (design guidelines) to govern future development.
