SF Approves First Family Zoning Project in Lone Mountain

San Francisco has officially taken a major step forward in urban housing policy by approving its very first residential project under the newly enacted Family Zoning Plan. Located at 230 Anza Street in the vibrant Lone Mountain neighborhood, this innovative eight-story development aims to bring much-needed multi-bedroom housing options to the local market.

Property owner Krystal Dong and Oakland-based Ivy Hills LLC secured the historic clearance from the city’s planning commission for the ambitious infill site. As developers look toward creative solutions across the Bay Area, many visitors exploring regional growth also enjoy checking out nearby communities like Sausalito for inspiration on architectural integration.

Transforming the Lone Mountain Skyline

A Vision for Multi-Bedroom Living

Standing 95 feet tall, the newly approved building will yield nearly 16,000 square feet of total space, with roughly 11,000 square feet dedicated strictly to residential use. The layout is intentionally designed to cater to larger households, featuring a diverse mix of one-bedroom, two-bedroom, five three-bedroom, and a spacious four-bedroom apartment.

Out of the total unit count, two apartments will be permanently deed-restricted to support affordable housing initiatives in the district. This balance of family-sized layouts ensures that urban infill addresses real demographic needs rather than just studio apartment demands.

Modern Architecture and Amenities

Designed by Castro Valley-based C.M. Wong Architecture, the striking exterior will feature fiber cement panels, warm wood-look siding, and bold street-facing balconies. The compact 0.06-acre parcel sits directly across from the northern edge of the University of San Francisco Lone Mountain campus, replacing an older proposal for a smaller four-story structure.

The development will also include a convenient basement garage equipped with parking accommodations for five cars and eight bicycles. With estimated construction costs hovering around $2 million, this project represents a clever, high-density use of space that could soon serve as a blueprint for other urban residential corridors.
