Committee approves LAFCO study and resident‑engagement process for Midtown Park Apartments
Summary
Supervisor Preston requested a LAFCO study and a resident‑centered engagement process to examine long‑term ownership and resident control options for Midtown Park Apartments; the committee voted to send the amended item as a committee report to the full board.
Supervisor Preston introduced a motion (amended in consultation with the City Attorney) requesting the San Francisco Local Agency Formation Commission (LAFCO) undertake a study of future ownership options for Midtown Park Apartments and to procure a facilitator to run a resident engagement process. The item responds to past concerns about rent stabilization and long‑promised resident control; Preston noted district add‑back funding has been allocated to retain a community housing consultant to facilitate resident discussions.
Public comment urged centering ownership (not just management or control) in the study; the committee and staff discussed clarifying language on whether the study focuses on management vs ownership. Supervisor Preston moved the amendments and then moved the item as a committee report to the full board; the committee passed both actions 3–0.
Next steps: LAFCO will undertake the study and the clerk will assist with the consultant procurement and resident engagement process; the item will proceed to the full board as a committee report.
