Major development projects in San Francisco are often governed by contracts that lay out project-specific community benefits. In exchange, the city adds value and certainty to the projects through tools, such as rezoning. These development agreements benefit both the development and the community, but they are time intensive and done on a "one-off" basis. Learn how development agreements work and about the opportunities and challenges that they provide.
