Redevelopment plans for the shuttered Hunters Point Naval Shipyard and surrounding land will be discussed in separate meetings at City Hall this week.
On Tuesday, the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency is set to approve Lennar Corp.’s proposed design for the third and fourth blocks of homes scheduled to be built at the shipyard.
Those blocks, which will be less dense than the first two blocks planned to be built, will contain 159 units.
Also Tuesday, redevelopment commissioners are set to approve $430,000 worth of infrastructure improvements to the public housing at Hunters View, which will be rebuilt as part of the shipyard redevelopment project to include market-rate homes.
On Thursday, the San Francisco Planning Commission is set to hear an update on the shipyard redevelopment plans during a special hearing.
Also Thursday, the Board of Supervisors Government Audit and Oversight Committee will discuss plans to take over ownership of the shipyard from the Navy and the Navy’s recent decision to dissolve a shipyard cleanup advisory committee of local residents.
