"The newest, amended version of the plan to make the northern and western parts of the city taller and denser, which was announced by Supervisor Myrna Melgar and Mayor Daniel Lurie on Thursday, would no longer affect some 84,000 units of rent-controlled housing. Mission Local 's map of that proposal, which will go to the Board of Supervisors Land Use Committee on Monday, showed that 33 percent of multifamily units would see even higher and denser zoning."
"Just 13 percent of single-family homes and condos in the plan would be upzoned. The large majority of those units would remain as-is: They were already allowed to be up to 40 feet tall before, and will remain at 40 feet if the plan passes. That's by design: The upzoning plan has focused on increasing heights along commercial streets and transit lines, including Geary in the Richmond, Judah in the Sunset, and Van Ness in Nob Hill."
An amended upzoning plan for northern and western San Francisco focuses height and density increases along commercial streets and transit lines, particularly Geary, Judah, and Van Ness. The amendment would exempt roughly 84,000 rent-controlled units. Analysis shows about 33 percent of multifamily units would face higher and denser zoning, often in buildings with ground-floor commercial storefronts. Low-lying neighborhoods such as West Portal, Forest Hill, the Sunset, and the Richmond are unlikely to see major changes outside commercial and transit corridors. Only 13 percent of single-family homes and condos in the plan would be upzoned, and most would remain at existing 40-foot limits.
