Title:
Ordinance amending the Planning Code to add new standard required streetscape improvements
under the Better Streets Plan; modifying the triggers that would require project sponsors to construct
streetscape improvements in the public right-of-way; clarifying the recommended sidewalk width for
street types; expanding curb cut restrictions for off-street parking and loading to nearly all zoning
districts and certain designated streets, including those on the Citywide Transit Network and any
officially adopted bicycle routes or lanes, and requiring a Conditional Use authorization or a Section
309 or 329 exception for new or expanded curb cuts in the applicable areas; adding criteria for the
Planning Commission to consider when granting a Conditional Use authorization or an exception as
part of a Downtown C-3-O(SD) (Downtown, Office (Special Development)) or large project
authorization in mixed-use districts for such curb cuts; prohibiting new curb cuts in bus stops and on
Folsom Street between Essex and Second Street; eliminating minimum off-street parking
requirements for projects subject to the curb cut restrictions or prohibitions; and making findings under
the California Environmental Quality Act, findings of consistency with the General Plan, and the eight

welfare under Planning Code, Section 302.
