San Francisco Waterfront Special Area Plan Update (BPA 3-17)

The Commission will hold a public hearing on proposed Bay Plan Amendment No. 3-17 (BPA 3-17) on July 17, 2025. BPA 3-17 would update the San Francisco Waterfront Special Area Plan (SFWSAP), an element of the San Francisco Bay Plan. The proposed amendment would align the policies of the SFWSAP with the Port of San Francisco’s Waterfront Plan, would update the geographic-specific policies of the Fisherman’s Wharf vicinity to match the Northeastern Waterfront vicinity, and would establish a Sea Level Rise Public Education Initiative as a public benefit.
