Plan Overview

Thanks for your interest in the Japantown Better Neighborhood Plan! This plan will help shape the future of Japantown.

The Japantown Better Neighborhood planning process will develop the community's vision for this historic and culturally-rich neighborhood, with a focus on how physical improvements, historic and cultural preservation and new development can contribute to the vision.

The process will result in a plan to guide the use and character of the neighborhood, as well as provide recommendations to improve the connections with the Fillmore District and the Geary Corridor Bus Rapid Transit project currently under study. What happens with the Japan Center properties will be a central part of this planning process.

The Japantown Better Neighborhood Plan will set forth a land use and design framework for new development, urban design guidelines, historic and cultural preservation strategies, economic development strategies, and transportation improvements within the Project Area (see below):
