Eastern Neighborhoods Community Planning Update

On 05.14.09, In Uncategorized, By christine

Neighborhood plans are for East SOMA (including parts of SOMA, Mission Bay, South Beach) Mission (Inner Mission +), Showplace Square/ Portrero Hill, and Central Waterfront

Eastern Neighborhoods Rezoning Map
Roughly 8 years ago the eastern neighborhood community planning process began in response to the growing development, construction and changes in these neighborhoods.

As a result these areas of town have been changing with residential, office and industrial use buildings over lapping.  Because the concentration of residential and commercial ares are blending it is causing challenges around noise, remodeling, activity, etc.  In an effort to create some organization to the development and consistency this planning initiative began.  This will help keep any one type of building use from being pushed out of the area or businesses forced to close and allow for better developed neighborhoods.

The zoning changes are well underway now and owners have/will receive a notice stating their properties official zoning use.  If the property use is not consistant with the legal zoning you can file for a variance.

For additional formation and updates visit the SFPlanning Department.

Freeway Closure Notice for Mission Bay, South Beach Residents

On 03.23.09, In Uncategorized, By christine

A new TV piolet is being filmed here in SF.  It focuses on emergency responders to a tanker truck crash (reminds me of the rig that destroyed part of the east bay on ramps not so long ago) and will cut off one of the main entrances and exits to I280.  The schedule effects north and south bound traffic over the next 7-10 days at various times.  These will be good days to take BART!  Below are the details sent out in a media alert.

MEDIA ALERT –1-280 N/B KING STREET EXP TO BE CLOSED SATURDAY MARCH 28 – WEDNESDAY APRIL 1ST (WEEKDAY MORNING COMMUTE HOURS EXCEPTED) and I-280 S/B KING STREET ENTRANCE TO BE CLOSED SUNDAY MARCH 29 from 1 PM -4 PM FOR FILMING OF TV PILOT IN SAN FRANCISCO

NORTHBOUND TRAFFIC ON I-280 WILL BE DIVERTED TO 6TH STREET due to the closure of the King Street off-ramp at Sixth Street in San Francisco on Saturday, March 28 at 5:00 AM through Sunday, March 29 until 10 p.m. and on Monday, March 30, Tuesday March 31st and Wednesday, April 1 from 10 AM – 9 PM each day leaving the exit ramp available after 9 PM – 10 AM to accommodate the weekday commute hours. Northbound traffic will be diverted onto the Sixth Street exit with detours set up to Embarcadero.

KING STREET ENTRANCE RAMP FOR SOUTHBOUND I-280 will be closed on Sunday.March 29th from 1 PM – 4 PM. Southbound traffic will be detoured from King Street to MARIPOSA STREET OR SIXTH STREET AT BRANNAN. The closures are to facilitate the filming of action sequences for the NBC Universal TV drama pilot ‘Trauma,” which features emergency responders working a tanker truck crash. The simulated freeway crash involving several cars and a tanker truck is scheduled for Saturday March 28 and will include aerial helicopter activity. The scenes to be filmed on Sunday will include an explosion with a fireball and billowing smoke. There will be aerial helicopter activity throughout the day. Throughout filming, there will also be intermittent traffic stoppages at the entrance to I-280 S/B at both 6TH Street and KING STREET whenever there
is a stunt being filmed or a helicopter landing or taking off. These brief intermittent stoppages will take place randomly during filming on the weekend and on the weekdays between 10 AM and 3 PM. The California Highway Patrol, the San Francisco Police and Fire Departments and other emergency service departments for the City of San Francisco and the State of California have been notified in advance of this permitted filming.
