What is CCDC doing to ensure access and views to the waterfront are preserved and enhanced?
There is an absolute continuum of planning for the northern waterfront, and it is punctuated by plans and processes discussed over the past 17 years—but which are completely consistent and intertwined. The principles on which all plans for the waterfront are based are incorporated in the 1992 Community Plan, Navy Broadway Complex Development Agreement, Catellus Development Agreement, North Embarcadero Visionary Plan, Port Master Plan and 2006 Community Plan. It is important to note that the consistency of public input on these principles over time has continued to validate them. In 1988, in response to the Navy’s desire to develop their property, SANDAG established the Central Bayfront/Broadway Complex Coordinating Group, one of the first groups convened to establish the future of the waterfront. The principles they established – the Central Bayfront Design Principles – are very much a part of our planning today and have formed the basis of every subsequent plan for this area.
