Areas south of 23rd Street and east of Third Street are predominantly PDR (production, distribution, and repair) zones, protected for PDR businesses. Retail activity focuses on 22nd Street, connecting the CalTrain Station to Third Street, but large lot development and mergers are restricted to maintain compatibility with the existing scale of the neighborhood.

New controls allow mixed-income residential development north of 23rd Street and west of Illinois Street, with exceptions for life-science and medical-related office and clinical facilities near Mission Bay. Controls aim to protect the Dogpatch neighborhood by establishing a buffer against larger office and life science research uses, while also promoting small and moderate size retail in neighborhood commercial areas. For the Pier 70 and Potrero Power Plant Station areas, improvements are guided by Special Use Districts with policies, zoning controls, and design standards in place.

Encouraging development in the northern Central Waterfront should prevent displacement of PDR businesses southward, support maritime industry, provide open spaces, ensure new development addresses sea level rise, and implement a funding stream for site-specific goals. Concerning Pier 70, historic resources will be rehabilitated, and new developments will support maritime and industrial nature.

The proximity of the northern Central Waterfront to Mission Bay and UCSF research and hospital facilities makes it suitable for development of life-science related research institutions and medical offices to cluster, maintaining a mix of uses without displacing PDR businesses. Preserving the Dogpatch neighborhood's historical character and ensuring suitable retail development are also essential.

This description provides details for the Central Waterfront neighborhood, outlining potential zoning or policy modifications after the Port’s Pier 70 planning process concludes and integrating a community planning process for the site of the former Potrero Power Station.
