The City of San Francisco held a significant meeting on July 4, 2025, focusing on the redevelopment efforts in the Sunnydale neighborhood and the Stones Town development project. The meeting began with a presentation from an affordable housing developer representing Related California, who provided an update on the ongoing redevelopment of Sunnydale, a project that has been in progress since 2007.

The developer highlighted the collaborative efforts with the City of San Francisco, particularly through the Mayor's Office of Community Development (MOCD) and the HOPE SF initiative. To date, the redevelopment has resulted in the completion of 2,100% affordable housing units, with ongoing construction of additional infrastructure improvements, including a new community center and recreational facilities. The community center is set to house the Sunnydale Boys and Girls Club and an early childhood education center, aiming to enhance community resources and support.

The presentation also outlined plans for two new affordable housing developments, which will add 170 units to the neighborhood. Future phases of the project, including Blocks 7 and 9, are anticipated to provide an additional 184 affordable units, with construction expected to commence shortly after the completion of current projects.

Following the developer's presentation, the commission opened the floor for public comment, but no members of the public participated. The commissioners expressed their support for the ongoing redevelopment efforts, acknowledging the project's long history and the steady progress made. A motion to approve the proposed amendments related to the project was unanimously passed by the commission.

The meeting then transitioned to an update on the Stones Town development project, presented by Patrick Grama from the planning department. This project represents a collaboration between Brookfield Properties and the city, focusing on the establishment of design standards, infrastructure plans, and necessary zoning amendments.

Overall, the meeting underscored the city's commitment to affordable housing and community development, with significant progress reported in both the Sunnydale and Stones Town projects. The commission's unanimous support reflects a strong consensus on the importance of these initiatives for the San Francisco community.
