"The Family Zoning Plan applies to nearly 96,000 parcels primarily along transit corridors in the city's western and northern neighborhoods. It does not upzone universally across the city, and avoids parts of the city's eastern and southern neighborhoods that have been rezoned in the past. The plan allows for increases of two to four additional stories in specific areas, primarily near transit lines or other commercial corridors."
"Yes. However, buildings with three or more rent-controlled units are exempt from upzoning in the current version of the plan after a recently adopted amendment. But supervisors have tabled other proposed amendments that could exempt additional rent-controlled buildings from the plan. Under current city policy, the Planning Commission must approve the demolition of rent-controlled units. About 18 housing units were demolished per year from 2012-24."
The Family Zoning Plan targets nearly 96,000 parcels concentrated along transit corridors in western and northern neighborhoods while avoiding many eastern and southern areas previously rezoned. It permits increases of two to four additional stories in specific corridors and allows high-rises of 12 to 65 stories on select major thoroughfares including Van Ness Avenue, Market Street and Geary Boulevard. Buildings with three or more rent-controlled units are exempt from upzoning under a recent amendment, and the Planning Commission must approve any demolition of rent-controlled units. The plan prioritizes displaced small businesses for available commercial space, offers relocation guidance and financial supports, and prohibits demolition of state and federal landmarks while incentivizing reuse of historic structures.
