The Land Use and Community Design Element establishes the citywide pattern, scale, and character of residential, office, industrial, research and development (R&D), retail and services, recreation, public, and other land uses throughout South San Francisco through the 2040 General Plan horizon. It aims to preserve and grow a range of housing types for different income levels so that residents in all stages of life can live affordably, while supporting existing commercial, industrial, and R&D uses and providing opportunities for new industries compatible with city character.
