This item concerns a public hearing for an ordinance to vacate portions of Hawes Street, Griffith Street, and Bancroft Avenue to facilitate the development of the San Francisco Fire Department (SFFD) Training Facility at 1236 Carroll Avenue. The ordinance includes provisions for reserving public utility and access rights, transferring the street vacation area from Public Works to the Fire Department, and affirming environmental determinations under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). It also makes findings of consistency with the General Plan and eight priority policies of the Planning Code. The hearing is scheduled for January 6, 2026, following a resolution approved on December 9, 2025. The proposed changes also involve zoning map amendments, changing the area from Production Distribution and Repair (PDR-2) to Public (P), and a bulk/height change from 40-X to 90-X for tall training structures. Community outreach has been conducted with various Bayview-Hunters Point groups, and the Planning Commission recommended approval of the map amendments.

Residents in the vicinity of 1236 Carroll Avenue will see the development of a new SFFD Training Facility, which involves the vacation of several streets. This action is part of a larger planning effort that includes zoning and height limit changes in the area.
