Disclaimer: The Sea Level Rise (SLR) map shows the most extreme level of SLR possible. It is a very, very unlikely scenario that would only occur if no efforts to address SLR occur and both a King Tide and 100-year storm occur at the same time. The real purpose of the maps is to provide a broad net to help the City identify projects that that may be vulnerable. The data is based on what was in the ground as of 2010 and doesn’t include piers.

The inundation maps and the associated analyses are intended as planning level tools to illustrate the potential for inundation and coastal flooding under a variety of future sea level rise and storm surge scenarios. The maps depict possible future inundation that could occur if nothing is done to adapt or prepare for sea level rise over the next century. The maps do not represent the exact location or depth of flooding. The maps relied on a 1-m digital elevation model created from LiDAR data collected in 2010 and 2011. Although care was taken to capture all relevant topographic features and coastal structures that may impact coastal inundation, it is possible that structures narrower than the 1-m horizontal map scale may not be fully represented. The maps are based on model outputs and do not account for all of the complex and dynamic San Francisco Bay processes or future conditions such as erosion, subsidence, future construction or shoreline protection upgrades, or other changes to San Francisco Bay or the region that may occur in response to sea level rise. For more context about the maps and analyses, including a description of the data and methods used, please see the Climate Stressors and Impacts Report: Bayside Sea Level Rise Inundation Mapping Technical Memorandum, July 2014.

Subject to Planning Code Section 415 (http://bit.ly/1ag0AmP), developments of 10 or more units fall under the City's Inclusionary Affordable Housing Program. Data on residential projects are collected through the lifecycle of the projects by the Planning Department and the Department of Building Inspection. On a quarterly basis, the Mayor's Office of Housing and Community Development works with Planning to produce a list for tracking and monitoring of these projects. This dataset is as of December 31, 2021.

Zoning Districts from Jan 2015. Part of the San Francisco Planning Code. Data is a zipped GIS shapefile.

Zoning Districts from 1998. Part of the San Francisco Planning Code. Data is a zipped GIS shapefile.

Historic Height & Bulk Districts from 2009. Part of the San Francisco Planning Code. Data is a zipped GIS shapefile.

This dataset was provided to the San Francisco Planning Department from the San Francisco County Transportation Authority (Transportation Authority) in March 2016. The Transportation Authority uses the San Francisco Chained Activity Model Process (SF-CHAMP) to estimate vehicle miles traveled (VMT) by private automobiles and taxis for different land use types. Travel behavior in SF-CHAMP is calibrated based on observed behavior from the California Household Travel Survey 2010-2012, Census data regarding automobile ownership rates and county-to-county worker flows, and observed vehicle counts and transit boardings. SF-CHAMP uses a synthetic population, which is a set of individual actors that represents the Bay Area’s actual population, who make simulated travel decisions for a complete day.

VMT estimates are provided for existing (2012) and future (2040) for three land use types: office, residential, and retail. For these estimates, Transportation Authority used tour-based analysis for office and residential uses and a trip-based analysis for retail uses. The aforementioned VMT estimates are provided for each transportation analysis zone within San Francisco and compared to regional averages.

Refer to March 3, 2016 San Francisco Planning Commission Transportation Sustainability Program staff report for further details.

The data is in a zipped file geodatabase (GIS) format. Geographic boundaries are Traffic Analysis Zones (TAZ's).

The ceqacode field contains an A, B or C:
A - historic resource present
B - unknown
C - historic resource not present

Special Use Districts from 2012. Part of the San Francisco Planning Code.

Special Use Districts (SUDs) are a component of the San Francisco Zoning Map. SUD controls are outlined in Article 2 of the San Francisco Planning Code:
