Lindenville Specific Plan

THE FINAL LINDENVILLE SPECIFIC PLAN IS NOW AVAILABLE

Livable Lindenville: A Vibrant and Inclusive Neighborhood for All

The Lindenville Specific Plan is the guiding document to help realize the General Plan's vision for the area as a mixed-use neighborhood, employment hub, and cultural center of South San Francisco. Walkable, connected districts, including the South Spruce corridor, are envisioned as lively destinations where people have easy access to retail, parks, and other community resources. The Plan preserves the city's industrial heritage but also provides new opportunities for people to live in the district. A revitalized Colma Creek has the potential to become a community-serving linear park with a restored ecology that benefits the health and well-being of people and wildlife.

Project Goals

  • Center the voices of people who will live, work, own property, and recreate in Lindenville.
  • Prepare a shared plan for achieving a successful, equitable, and resilient district through design standards, community benefits, and provision of public amenities and services.
  • Retain existing industrial uses, while ensuring new neighborhoods are livable, healthy, quiet, and green.
