The Housing Action Coalition and SF YIMBY strongly support bringing 130 well-designed, well-located new homes to 300 5th Street in San Francisco's SOMA neighborhood. This proposed project would replace an underutilized gas station with much-needed new residences that encourage car-free living to help alleviate the city's severe housing shortage and affordability crisis. Learn more here.

Some of the projects many highlights include:

1. 19 onsite Below Market Rate homes at four levels of affordability (50%, 55%, 80%, and 110% AMI). The project will also contribute approximately $1.8 million for affordable housing via the City's Affordable Housing Fee.

2. Close proximity to public transportation (MUNI, BART, and Caltrain) to encourage car-free living.

3. Zero onsite car parking, plus 110 Class-I and nine Class-II bicycle parking spaces and a bike repair station to further encourage alternatives to driving.

4. Environmentally-friendly, GreenPoint-rated homes, plus a living roof for residents to enjoy.

5. Well-located close to jobs and in a neighborhood that's expected to create tens of thousands of new jobs in the coming decade.

6. $4.1 million in total impact fees and community benefits, which will include making infrastructure improvements to the immediate transit corridor.

For all these and many other reasons, please sign our petition encouraging the San Francisco Planning Commission and Planning Department to approve the project so that more people can call SF home. Thank you!
