The San Francisco Board of Supervisors approved an ordinance to establish the New Asia Senior Housing Special Use District at 758 and 772 Pacific Avenue. This designation allows for a 100% affordable senior housing project with an exception to the existing 65-foot height limit, increasing it to 155 feet. The development will include 175 residential units, with income qualifications ranging from 15% to 50% of the Area Median Income. This project addresses the need for affordable housing in the densely populated Chinatown neighborhood, specifically supporting low-income senior residents.
This Special Use District creates significant affordable housing options for low-income seniors in Chinatown, helping to combat housing displacement and maintain community stability in one of San Francisco’s most culturally rich neighborhoods.
