W andering along the Pier 70 shoreline, one is conronted by

striking contrasts: shipyard cranes reaching over massive

cruise vessels in drydock; enced-o industrial buildings unmatched

in their beauty, simplicity and scale; the scars o 150 years o

industrial use; Mission Bay rising in the background, and the

great expanse o San Francisco Bay. Sitting at the oot o Potrero

Hill, Pier 70 is a place o work and industry, eclipsed over time – a

district waiting to be rediscovered and reintegrated into the city.

Te Port o San Francisco’s Pier 70 Preerred Master Plan envisions

a vibrant and authentic historic district that re-establishes the

historic activity level, activates new waterront open spaces, creates a

center or innovative industries, and integrates ongoing ship repair

operations.

Tis vision combines the legacy o the past and the vitality o the

existing shipyard with sustainable and economically viable inll

development, while rehabilitating Pier 70’s historic buildings.

Pier 70’s uture public realm will include major waterront open

space – parks, shoreline access areas, and a abric o buildings,

streets, courtyards, and pedestrian ways that reect Pier 70’s

distinctive historic character.

Tis document summarizes the Pier 70 Preerred Master Plan and

includes the Introduction and the goals and accompanying exhibits

associated with: 1) Historic Preservation, 2) Land Use and Adaptive

Reuse, 3) Open Space and Public Access, 4) Form and Charactero Inll Development, and 5) ransit, Circulation and Parking

chapters.

Te ull document is available on the Port’s web site at www.

economic context or the plan as well as the actions required to

support the continuing operation o the ship repair industry and

implementation o the Plan.

In 2007, the Port o San Francisco commenced a public process to

develop a master plan or Pier 70, a 67-acre historic shipyard prop-

erty situated along San Francisco’s Central Waterront, just south o Mission Bay. It is bounded by Mariposa Street to the north, Illinois

Street to the west, 22nd Street to the south, and San Francisco Bay

to the east shown in Exhibit 1, Pier 70 Site Setting and Location.

Pier 70 is an important part o the maritime history o the Bay Area

and is the most intact 19th century industrial complex west o the

Mississippi River. Te site was signicant in the industrialization

o the United States, where supplies were manuactured or the

Caliornia Gold Rush, Nevada’s mining operations, and the rans-

continental Railway. Ships built at Pier 70 supported United States

military engagements rom the Spanish American War in the late

1800’s through the two World Wars and into the 1970’s.

Pier 70’s shipyard contains impressive historic buildings that are

not only valuable architecturally, but also capture the public’s

imagination and interest by recalling past shipbuilding, steel manu-

acturing, and maritime activities that dominated this part o SanFrancisco’s shoreline. Tis sense o history is alive because ship

repair continues at Pier 70 to this day. Te Pier 70 shipyard has

the largest oating drydock on the West Coast o the Americas,

enabling it to accommodate the largest ships in the industry. Tis

shipyard has survived the ups and downs o economic boom and

bust, periods o war and peace, and global and technological change

by continual retooling and updating.

Te City, through the Port, seeks to preserve ship repair and historic

resources as the dening eatures or the public’s long-term appre-

ciation and benet in this Pier 70 Preerred Master Plan (Plan) andto embrace new economic opportunities to help Pier 70 become as

important to San Francisco’s uture as it has been to the city’s past.

Vision or the Future

In 1997, the San Francisco Port Commission identied the pres-

ervation o Pier 70’s ship repair industry and extraordinary history

as key priorities in the Waterront Land Use Plan. Since then, the

Port has led many public eorts to achieve those objectives. Te

community planning process leading to this Plan reconrmed many

o the goals and concepts o those earlier eorts. Mindul o its

historic and maritime values, while addressing 21st century needs,

the Port’s vision or Pier 70 is to:

Create a vibrant and authentic

historic district that re-establishes

the historic activity level, activatesnew waterfront open spaces, creates

a center for innovative industries,

and integrates ongoing ship repair

operations.

Planning Goals

Te Plan articulates the ollowing goals to provide a policy rame-

work to guide Pier 70’s transormation:

1. Create a Pier 70 National Register Historic District and rehabili-tate its extraordinary historic resources.

2. Preserve the long-term viability o the ship repair industry.

3. Create a major new shoreline open space system that extends the

San Francisco Bay rail and the Blue Greenway to and through

Pier 70.

4. Promote sustainable mixed-use inll development and economic

vitality that includes climate adaptation strategies appropriate tothis waterront location.

5. Provide sites or ofce, research, emerging technologies, light

industry, commercial, cultural, and recreational uses to expand

San Francisco’s economic base and generate revenues to und

public benets.

6. Promote development that is pedestrian-oriented and osters use

o alternative, sustainable transportation modes and practices.

7. Extend the city street grid to enhance public access and integrate

new development with the Central Waterront.

8. Remediate environmental contamination to enable public use and

enjoyment o Pier 70 and its waterront and improve environ-

mental quality.

Approach to the Plan

Te Plan is an important guide or Pier 70’s transormation. Te

vision, goals, and policies presented in the Plan establish a strong

policy ramework, created through a community planning process

that has built the public consensus or Pier 70’s uture. Tis policy

ramework will be used to evaluate uture specic development

proposals and implementation strategies.

Te Plan denes goals and objectives to support signicant develop-

ment and new public waterront open space, while respecting the

Pier 70 Historic District and continued ship repair operations. It

takes a “orm-based” approach that provides exibility yet sets clear

historic preservation objectives and locations or new public open

spaces with connections to surrounding areas within the Central Waterront. Past experience shows that evolving market oppor-

20th Street, c. 1945





tunities and uctuating development cycles may require varying

approaches and design solutions to achieve these Plan goals. Tus,

the Plan is not “hard-wired” or overly prescriptive in speciying a

development program or physical siting o new development. Te

implementation strategy anticipates the need or an open, collab-

orative relationship with private development partner(s) and the

community to determine how best to balance and achieve the Plan

goals and objectives.

o support the Pier 70 planning eort, the Port retained a team o

consultants with technical expertise in the elds o historic pres-

ervation, land use economics, urban planning and design, envi-

ronmental analysis, engineering, and cost estimation. In addition,

the Port worked through a collaborative process with ederal, state,and regional government agencies, other departments within the

City amily, and the public. Strong government partnerships have

enabled the Port to produce a Plan that is inormed by key regulatory

considerations and that enjoys strong public consensus.

Special attention has been given to ship repair industry needs. Te

Port has worked closely with BAE San Francisco Ship Repair (BAE),

a subsidiary o BAE Systems, the Port’s ship repair operator, as

it develops its own complementary acility plan. Tis will ensure

adequate space and operational latitude or compatible co-existence

o ongoing ship repair operations, historic preservation, and new

development at Pier 70.

Guiding Pier 70’s Transormation

Te Plan envisions a transormation o Pier 70 that combines

elements o the past, present, and uture. It calls or maintaining

approximately 17 acres o the site or ship repair and identies a

development site plan or the remaining 50 acres that, in round

numbers, consist o:

•

700,000 square eet o new uses within historic buildings• 11 acres o open space along the shoreline and up to 9 additional

acres o open space integrated within the development

• 3 million square eet o compatible inll development

• Inrastructure and environmental remediation to support the

program

• Generation o 6,000 - 8,000 new jobs

Beyond its historic buildings and continued maritime unction, Pier

70’s attributes are a unction o its location, size, historic context,and waterront setting. It is a part o a growth corridor where

sustainable inll development has occurred over the past 30 years

south o the downtown, rom South Beach and Rincon Point to

China Basin and Mission Bay.

biosciences cluster, makes the site a very attractive location or

development. Market analysis conducted or the Plan identies

strong opportunities or key economic uses to locate at Pier 70,

including: biotechnology; medical/ofce support; corporate campus

and general ofce; general retail and service commercial; exhibitionand museum space; production, distribution, and repair (indus-

trial); and commercial uses specic to the waterront.

Examining Pier 70 against the backdrop o Mission Bay, the 2008

Eastern Neighborhoods Plan and Rezoning (Eastern Neighbor-

hood Plan), the Blue Greenway, and recent planned public transit

improvements along Tird Street, clearly Pier 70 will play a dening

role along the Central Waterront. Adaptive reuse and inll develop-

ment at Pier 70 will promote the Port’s public trust mission, respondto the City’s economic needs, and preserve a locally and nationally

signicant part o San Francisco’s history. In rejuvenating this area,

Pier 70 will become a vital new district that reects San Francisco’s

tradition o diverse and colorul neighborhoods.

Te unique opportunities Pier 70 presents are accompanied by

substantial challenges to development, including historic building

rehabilitation costs, obsolete inrastructure replacement, environ-

mental remediation costs, and the construction o open space.

Port and City policymakers have approached Pier 70 rom the view-

point that ederal, state, and local law can be modied strategically

to support the public interest in adaptive reuse o the site. Port sta

stands ready to work with policymakers toward that end.

Further public participation and collaboration with the Port’s poli-

cymakers, regulatory and administrative partners, and the public

are the keys to realizing the Plan’s vision. Te Mayor, San Francisco

Board o Supervisors, San Francisco Planning Department, San

Francisco Municipal ransportation Agency, San Francisco Public

Utilities Commission, State Ofce o Historic Preservation and

State Historical Resources Commission, State Lands Commission,San Francisco Bay Regional Water Quality Control Board, and San

Francisco Bay Conservation and Development Commission will

each play a critical role in shaping Pier 70. Te Port values their

input and direction and is grateul or the remarkable consensus in

support o Pier 70 planning and legislative eorts to date.

Beyond legal and regulatory strategies, realizing the Plan will require

a comprehensive nancing strategy including a ull array o public

and private nancing mechanisms. Environmental remediation,preservation and adaptive reuse o historic buildings, and construc-

tion o new inrastructure and public open spaces are too costly to

be supported by private development alone. o address this, the

Community Workshop





Port intends to take advantage o a number o public nancing

tools, including ederal historic and new market tax credits, Mello-

Roos community acilities district nancing, property tax increment

nancing, park and open space unding mechanisms, grants rom

various sources, and other sources o low-cost debt.

In 2010, given the unprecedented environment o weak develop-

ment markets and constrained capital resources, the unding identi-

ed by the Port currently is not sufcient to cover ully the nancial

requirements o the Plan. Nevertheless, Pier 70 is a long-term

project, and the Port can progress through the Plan’s preliminary

entitlement process in response to specic end user opportunities to

position the property or major development activity when market

and nancial conditions improve. Philanthropic nancing may

become available or adaptive reuse o some o the very signicant

historic structures that in turn will help leverage the market or otheractivities on the site. Te Port will seek one or more private develop-

ment partners to pursue these and other opportunities and ormulate

creative strategies that will lead eventually to the ull realization o

the Plan.

In November 2008, San Francisco voters approved Proposition D,

which streamlines the City’s entitlement process and creates a variety

o nancing mechanisms specic to Pier 70. Approved by 68% o

the electorate, Proposition D not only provides unique tools andprocedures previously unavailable to the Port to acilitate implemen-

tation, it exemplies San Franciscan’s commitment to the preser-

vation and revitalization o the Pier 70 area. Invigorated by the

support o the larger community, the Port o San Francisco, working

in concert with the City and other policymakers and stakeholders,

is excited to begin the process o transorming Pier 70 into a place

where 21st century industries excel, alongside industrial ship repair,

as part o a grand historic district o rehabilitated 19th century

buildings.

Tis Plan embodies the ideals and ideas received rom the public,

inormed by careul interdisciplinary planning and economic anal-

ysis, which has been under public review or over two years. Te

Port looks orward to continuing the civic conversation regarding

how to harness the best o the public and private sectors to revitalize

HISTORIC RESOURCE RATINGSPier 70 hosts a number o indi-

vidual historic resources o varying

signicance. In National Register

historic districts, resources are

classied as “contributing” or

“non-contributing” to the district

depending on their historic

signicance, degree o integrity,

and whether they reect the

historic period or which the district is signicant. For contributing

resources, the Port and its consul-

tants used a ner grain o analysis

to urther rene historic building’s

relative signicance and to develop

the preservation strategy and

priorities or Pier 70, including very

signicant, signicant, and context

resources.

4. Apply design criteria or new inll development to ensure new

construction meets Plan objectives and is sensitively designed,

consistent with Secretary Standards.

5. Prioritize the stabilization and rehabilitation o Very Signicant

resources along 20th Street or public and private investment as

early as possible.

6. Promote an understanding o the site’s history, signicance, and

unction through a program o coordinated interpretive exhibits

in public areas and open spaces and as part o new development

and historic rehabilitation improvements.

Historic Preservation Objectives:

1. Recognize continuation o viable ship repair and drydock

operations as an act o preserving Pier 70’s history, and givepriority to physical shipyard changes necessary to support the

contemporary needs o the industry while maintaining the

overall integrity o the Historic District.

2. Protect the integrity o the Pier 70 Historic District by directing

major new construction to open and vacant areas or locations

containing Non-Contributing Resources, reective o the

history o the built environment at Pier 70.

3. Encourage adaptive reuse o the historic resources that add new

lie to Pier 70, consistent with Secretary Standards.

PIER 70 OPEN SPACE CONCEPT

The Open Space Concept identies how

the Bay Trail and the Blue Greenway

can be extended along the shoreline

through Pier 70. It also illustrates the

two major proposed shoreline parks –

Crane Cove and Slipways Parks. Irish

Hill is preserved as a remnant o the

natural landscape and integrated into

the proposed Pier 70 Historic District.

Irish Hill is an element o an internal

open space network which is based on

the historic characteristics o the district

and includes a number o courtyards,

plazas, and passageways.

S P A C E A N D

P U B L I C A C C E S S4. Require sensitive design and site placement o new development

adjacent to the shoreline open spaces that provide comortable

sunlight access and microclimate conditions that support a highlevel o public enjoyment o those open spaces.

5. Use hardscape paving and materials to improve streets, pedes-

trian ways, and other public spaces that interace with historic

resources to respect the industrial character o Pier 70, and

create shoreline access wherever possible.

6. Allow ancillary structures in major open spaces to support

water-oriented recreational activities and users, such as an

aquatic center, boat rental and supplies, and rereshments.

Open Space and Public Access Objectives:

1. Create public open spaces that attract a diverse spectrum o

users and establish a sense o identity and ocus or new devel-opment at Pier 70 that is sensitive to ship repair operations.

2. Develop a diverse network and program o parks, paths, roads,

and public spaces that recognize historic passages and connect

upland areas and adjacent neighborhoods to waterront open

spaces, enjoyment o the Bay, and celebrate and reveal the rich

history o Pier 70

3. Integrate the Bay rail, the Bay Water rail, and the Blue

Greenway into the design o the Pier 70 open space network,

which creates an inter-connected path that links public open

spaces along the shoreline, includes areas that support natural

habitat or wildlie, and provides access into or on the Bay.

the historic character o the district. Add new architecture

that complements the surrounding resources and promotesactivity in the area.

5. Encourage the design o buildings and open spaces that

not only responds to Pier 70’s historic qualities but also

strengthens connections to Dogpatch and Potrero Hill

neighborhoods.

6. Encourage public access and views to the waterront and

connect shoreline parks and promenades with proposed open

spaces that are integrated with development.

Infll Development Objectives:

1. Respect the district as a historic landscape that reects the

industrial shipbuilding processes, including the evolutiono the Union Iron Works/Bethlehem Steel operations and

ongoing ship repair activity.

2. Showcase the historic district’s resources, industrial heritage,

landscape eatures, and waterront location.

3. Develop a pattern that reects the unique building and

open space relationships that are characteristic o the historic

district.

POTENTIAL SHUTTLES

PIER 70 TRANSIT ACCESS

The preliminary transporta-

tion analysis conducted during

the planning process suggests

that, given the available vehicle

capacity o the existing street

network, successul development at Pier 70 will require signicant

use o alternative modes o travel.

Thus, the Port and its develop-

ment partners have a joint interest

and responsibility to design and

manage new development at

Pier 70 that actively promotes

high levels o transit, pedestrian,

and bicycle access and prioritizes

resources and services to increase

transit service levels.

4. Create walkable and bikeable streets.

5. Introduce a network o pedestrian ways integrated with new devel-

opment.

6. Locate and manage parking acilities to promote shared use oper-

ated on a market-rate pricing basis, consistent with smart growth

objectives.

Transit, Circulation and Parking Objectives:

1. Increase public transit service by providing erry and shuttle con-

nections between Pier 70, Mission Bay, and other public transithubs.

2. Extend 19th Street access to ensure continued reliable maritime

industrial access to the shipyard. Rerouting truck trafc will

enable 20th Street to be improved as a pedestrian-oriented gate-

way to Pier 70 and as a vibrant hub o cultural, commercial, and

entertainment activity.

3. Establish a street system within Pier 70 that connects with the

existing city street grid rom the Dogpatch and Potrero Hill neigh-

borhoods, while interacing with Pier 70’s network o historic rail

spurs, pathways, and internal access routes.
