What a adu / accessory dwelling project looks like here

Mission Bay is SF's largest 1998-2025 master-planned redevelopment — the entire 303-acre district was subject to a single Final Environmental Impact Report and Redevelopment Plan governed by OCII (Office of Community Investment & Infrastructure).

Because the entire neighborhood is post-1998 construction, soft-story and URM retrofit mandates do not apply — but liquefaction and sea-level-rise exposure drive sustained foundation + envelope scope.

The SF Better Roofs Ordinance (Ord 5-17) applies to new + substantially renovated flat roofs — 15-30% must be solar PV, solar thermal, or living roof.

SB 9 + SB 1069 + AB 2299 stack permits ADU + JADU by-right on most SF parcels — SFDBI residential permit + SF Planning §311 neighbor notification on rear additions. In Mission Bay specifically, master-planned mid-rise + high-rise (1998-2025) stock means adu / accessory dwelling scope is shaped by the neighborhood's dominant construction typology. Baily's San Francisco scoping flow factors mission bay redevelopment plan (1998 ocii) and liquefaction + sea-level-rise mapped exposure into the estimate before a contractor is involved.

Origin

Who is Baily?

Baily is named after Francis Baily — an English stockbroker who retired at 51, became an astronomer, and in 1836 described something on the edge of a solar eclipse that nobody had properly articulated before: a string of bright beads of sunlight breaking through the valleys along the moon’s rim.

He wasn’t the first to see them. Edmond Halley saw them in 1715 and barely noticed. Baily’s contribution was clarity — describing exactly what was happening, in plain language, so vividly that the whole field of astronomy paid attention. The phenomenon is still called Baily’s beads.

That’s what we wanted our AI to do. Every inbound call and text has signal in it — a homeowner’s real question, a timeline, a budget, a hesitation that means “yes but.” Baily listens to every one, 24/7, and finds the beads of light.

Baily was a businessman before he was a scientist. That’s our vibe too.
