On April 29 the San Francisco Board of Supervisors voted 8–3 to give final passage to an ordinance amending the city’s Planning Code to require notice of rezoning actions taken to comply with the housing element, and to affirm the environmental (CEQA) determination associated with the measure.
The roll‑call vote recorded Supervisors Engardio, Fielder, Mandelmann, Sauter, Cheryl, Walton, Chan and Chen as voting yes. Supervisors Dorsey, Mahmood and Melgar voted no. The ordinance was announced as finally passed by the clerk at the meeting.
The measure updates notice requirements tied to rezoning steps taken in the course of implementing the city’s housing element. At the meeting the item was taken as a regular agenda matter and recorded on the board’s official vote list; the clerk also noted the CEQA determination that accompanies the Planning Code change.
Why it matters: zoning and rezoning notice rules affect how property owners and residents learn about proposed changes to permitted uses and densities. The board’s action puts the notice requirement on the record in the Planning Code for rezoning actions that are part of housing element compliance, and affirms the environmental finding for this ordinance.
