San Francisco halts 550 ft waterfront project to 175 ft limit
After a five month dispute, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors reduced waterfront height to 175 feet for most areas, with 84 feet in 90 percent of the zone and 175 feet in the remainder, ending the U S Steel Co plan for a 550 foot building near the Bay Bridge. Dianne Feinstein warned of traffic and election costs, while Alvin Duskin campaigned to push the limit down to 72 feet. The decision preserves views and blocks the high rise project.

Waterfront High Rise Plan Faces Feasibility Review
From 9 to 5 argues a proposed waterfront site plan is not economically feasible at 175 feet. The plan would rise 315 feet above the Ferry Building but remain far from SF’s tallest towers such as Bank of America’s 770 foot building and the 840 foot Transamerica project. Bay Commission rules require waterfront structures to be water oriented, limiting new development and freezing the status quo, port director Miriam Wolff says, leaving burned piers and parking structures to stand for a century.
