"Now we're facing the first deadline on that grand plan, as SF had to pass new zoning laws that would allow for this rush of new housing by January 31, or else lose tens of millions in state funding, and unleash a builder's remedy free-for-all in which developers could just build any crazy thing they want. So Mayor Daniel Lurie introduced his family zoning plan in hopes of meeting the state's requirement."
"That plan has been slogging its way through City Hall for the last three months. And many residents of the Richmond and Sunset neighborhoods, which would see significant height changes along some corridors under the plan, seem to absolutely hate the whole thing, so Lurie has been trying to sell it to them at a series of town hall meetings. Yesterday, we passed the Family Zoning Plan at the Board of Supervisors and I want to express my gratitude to the hard work of the Planning Department."
Mayor Daniel Lurie’s family zoning plan passed the San Francisco Board of Supervisors in a 7-4 vote, increasing allowable building heights in neighborhoods including the Sunset and Marina. The plan is intended to help meet a state-mandated Housing Element requiring 82,000 new units by 2031 and to satisfy a January 31 zoning deadline that would otherwise trigger loss of state funding and a builder’s remedy. The proposal drew strong opposition from Richmond and Sunset residents who object to corridor height changes. The measure moved through months of community meetings, negotiations, and three months of review at City Hall.
