Cow Hollow Association's (CHA) mission is to preserve and enhance the residential character and quality of life of the Cow Hollow neighborhood.
The CHA board is a volunteer organization that meets monthly to address issues that support our mission; zoning, Presidio development, neighborhood beautification, traffic, Lombard development, etc. We encourage your involvement in CHA. Become a member and support the efforts of your neighborhood association. CHA is a non-profit (501C3). Your dues are tax-deductible and we are eligible for donations from Family Charitable Trusts. Please let us know if you'd like to attend a board meeting to hear more about the issues we are addressing. It’s a great way to effect change and to meet and work with your neighbors. All members are welcomed to attend our Annual Meeting in May at the St. Francis Yacht Club. This site provides additional information about the CHA, current issues, discussion forum, links to community resources, Neighborhood Design Guidelines, and contact information.
Cow Hollow boundaries are the rectangle in the City and County of San Francisco bounded by Greenwich Street, Pierce Street, Pacific Avenue and Lyon Street, and including the north-south streets between Greenwich and Lombard.

Urgent Issue - UpzoningVisit NeighborhoodsUnitedsf.org for information on the upzoning plans and ways to get involved to stop the excessive and unnecessary height increases.
Mayor Lurie's Upzoning Plan increases heights and density on Lombard to reach 8-14+ stories and Chestnut, Fillmore and Union Streets will be increased to 6 stories! Read More

The Light Blue is Density Decontrol - removes limits on how many units a developer can build within the allowable height and bulk, and increases heights to 65' (6-stories) on all corner lots — without requiring affordable housing on site. Also allow 65' on lots greater than 8,000 sq' that will encourage lot accumulation in the middle of blocks and 80% lot coverage erasing the important back yard green belt we all share.
The Yellow is 6-stories - this will increase speculation and demolitions on our vibrant, sunny and historic commercial corridors. The art deco buildings The Gold is 8-stories - this will create a wall of luxury condos towers dividing the Cow Hollow and Marina neighborhoods. It will be greatly out of scale with everything else in the vicinity. The Pink is 14-stories - this is completely out-of-scale with the neighborhood and located at the base of hill for Cow Hollow, Pacific Heights and Russian Hill. Does upzoning large swaths of San Francisco actually lower the cost of housing or is it a developer's dream to build towering buildings, make their profits, and leave behind a city forever changed? This dramatic approach is a blunt and dated solution to a far more complex and ever-changing problem. Click here to read the full news alert
