    Housing Sustainability Districts

    Metadata Updated: March 8, 2026

    CA Govt. Code Section 66200 gives local jurisdictions incentives to create Housing Sustainability Districts (HSDs) to encourage housing production on infill sites near public transportation. Housing projects that are compliant with applicable general plan and zoning standards are eligible for streamlined approval by the City, and must be approved within 120 days of receipt of a complete application. There must be an approved Environmental Impact Report (EIR) in the area to establish an HSD, and HSD projects must adopt and implement any applicable mitigation measures.

    Central South of Market Housing Sustainability District (CSOMA HSD): Planning Code Section 343 establishes a Housing Sustainability District within the Central SoMa Plan Area.

    Housing Choice-San Francisco Housing Sustainability District (HC-SF HSD): Planning Code Section 344 establishes the Housing Choice Sustainability District as part of the Family Zoning Plan and Housing Choice Program. The HC-SF HSD is comprised of all parcels in the R-4 Height and Bulk District, except parcels zoned as RH or RM.
