A broad spectrum of community residents and organizations have undertaken a community planning process to devise both interim and permanent uses for the old McDonalds site at 730 Stanyan (at Haight Street). The lot, just under an acre (40,000 square feet), represents the largest developable site in the neighborhood since the City leased the two acre, abandoned Polytechic High School site on Frederick Street some 25 years ago. Like Poly, the site has been acquired by the City for a 100% affordable housing development. The Board of Supervisors has designated the Mayor's Office of Housing and Community Development (MOHCD) as the lead City agency in charge of the development of the site.
