Votes at a glance: board adopts multiple resolutions and ordinances on April 8
Summary
The Board of Supervisors adopted or passed on first reading a number of items including a lease at the airport concession area, restrictions on new off-sale liquor establishments in the Excelsior, a moratorium on tobacco paraphernalia stores, and several final maps and routine resolutions; roll-call tallies are provided where recorded.
At its April 8 meeting the San Francisco Board of Supervisors adopted or passed on first reading multiple items with brief debate or as consent. Key outcomes recorded in the meeting minutes and roll calls include:
- Item 6: Resolution approving the boarding-area E candy kiosk lease with Pacific Gateway Concessions. Roll call recorded 11 ayes; resolution adopted.
- Item 7: Resolution (item text read and voted) — roll call produced 8 ayes and 3 noes; resolution adopted.
- Item 12: Ordinance adding Section 7.85 to the planning code to create an alcohol restricted use district (Excelsior neighborhood) that prohibits new off-sale liquor establishments and includes a five-year sunset provision. Passed on first reading; roll call recorded 11 ayes.
- Item 13: Urgency ordinance establishing a 45-day interim zoning moratorium on establishment of new tobacco paraphernalia stores in the Excelsior along Mission Street; approved as an urgency ordinance to allow time for staff to propose permanent land-use controls.
- Item 15: Ordinance amending the planning code to require conditional or discretionary review for building permit applications that would eliminate existing dwelling units through mergers, conversions or demolitions. The board passed the ordinance on first reading; committee changes tightened numeric thresholds and codified commission criteria.
- Item 16: Committee report authorizing a new lease for roughly 7,680 square feet at 1740 Cesar Chavez Street for the Department of Human Resources (introduced at Government Audit & Oversight Committee on April 7).
- Adoption without committee reference (items 19–24): Resolutions and final-map approvals were adopted, including an Annie E. Casey Foundation grant acceptance by the juvenile probation department, commendations, and final map approvals at specific addresses as read into the record.
Several items were approved unanimously; where roll calls recorded excused members or no votes that tally is noted in the board clerk’s announcement at the meeting. Staff noted technical CEQA and code corrections for some land-use items that were made in committee and incorporated into the items adopted or passed on first reading.
These items were moved through consent or brief debate; any items requiring further action (such as ordinances on first reading) will return for second reading or final adoption per city procedures.
