City approves final element of Rincon Park
From today’s Examiner, “Paving the way for the completion of a leisure and commercial complex at Rincon Park along San Francisco’s Embarcadero, the city’s Bay Conservation and Development Commission voted Thursday to approve the restaurant portion of the project, now five years into the planning process.”
“…the 20,000-square-foot commercial complex, which is the final element of the project, will have two two-story restaurant buildings, each 19 feet tall and measuring about 6,000 square feet. Of the remaining 8,000 square feet, about half will serve as private outdoor dining for the two restaurants. A 20-foot-wide public walkway will separate the two buildings, leading from the Embarcadero to the Bay. Construction is expected to begin before the end of the year, according to [a permit analyst], and the developer hopes to have the two buildings completed by August 2006.”
