Votes at a glance: Board approves consent items and multiple ordinances, refers several land‑use items back to committee
Summary
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors approved the consent calendar (items 1–19) and voted on several ordinances and appointments. Some land-use items were referred back to committee; other items were adopted on first reading.
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors took a series of votes on routine and introduced items during its Tuesday meeting, approving the consent calendar and passing multiple ordinances on first reading.
Items 1 through 19, the consent agenda, were approved by roll call as a single action; the clerk recorded 11 ayes. Item 20, a resolution finding that the transfer of a type‑48 on‑sale liquor license to 1221 Polk Street would serve the public convenience, passed on roll call (11 ayes). Item 22, an ordinance ordering the summary vacation of a portion of Channel Street and authorizing an exchange of vacated city property, passed on first reading (11 ayes).
Land‑use item 23 — an ordinance amending the zoning map for the Bayview Hunters Point plan area — was referred back to the Land Use Committee after supervisors noted it had been amended at a prior meeting and had been placed on the agenda without public comment. Items 24 and 25 (ordinances establishing and approving a special‑use district for a residential care facility at 1500 Page Street) were approved on first reading; sponsors said the project would create an estimated 36 jobs and had neighborhood support.
Other business: Item 26, amending the administrative code to expand Veterans Affairs Commission membership and add a residency requirement, passed on first reading. Item 27, appointing James Hammer to the San Francisco Police Commission (term ending 4/30/2011), was approved without objection. Item 28, appointing Supervisors Marr and Avalos as alternate members to the California State Association of Counties, passed.
A set of commendations and proclamations (items 31–36) were approved, including a resolution endorsing the World March for Peace and Nonviolence and a proclamation declaring 11/20/2009 “Linda Laws Day” in recognition of her 20 years of service as Clerk of the Board. Several recognitions and ceremonial presentations were also made during the meeting.
Budget items listed on a special meeting calendar (five items related to Department of Public Health staffing and appropriations) were not before the full board because the Budget and Finance Committee did not forward them; the clerk said they would be considered at a special budget committee meeting next week.
Where recorded, roll‑call counts and first‑reading approvals are noted below. These votes reflect introductions and first readings or routine confirmations; separate subsequent votes may be required for final ordinance adoption.
