Initial plans have surfaced for a small residential infill at 400 Franconia Street in San Francisco’s Bernal Heights neighborhood. The project could invoke state law to streamline the approval process and enable the replacement of an empty lot with three townhome-style units. Ohio-based Ecom Partners Development LLC is listed as the property owner.
The initial application proposes the construction of three townhome-style buildings. Each structure would rise three stories, spanning 1,750 square feet, and would be occupied by a primary residence alongside an accessory dwelling unit.
The application utilizes Senate Bill 684 and SB 1123 to streamline the approval process. Lately, we’ve seen applications increasingly mentioning these state laws for infill housing in single-family-dominated neighborhoods. The bills were passed in 2023 and 2024, respectively, to streamline the approval process of lot subdivision and building up to ten units per lot.
Currently, the site is occupied by the foundation remains of a former house, which burned down in a two-alarm fire in December 2022.
R Group’s president, Redmond Lyons, is listed as responsible for the application. R Group is a general contracting company founded in 2004 and based in Potrero Hill. The estimated cost and timeline for construction have not yet been shared.
