Committee restores conditional‑use controls for medical cannabis in Sunset NCDs; housing hearing continued
Summary
The Land Use & Transportation Committee voted to forward interim zoning controls restoring conditional‑use authorization for medical cannabis dispensaries in four Sunset neighborhood commercial districts and continued a hearing on housing retention to the call of the chair.
The Land Use & Transportation Committee acted on two additional items May 5. For item 3, Supervisor Katie Tang moved to restore a conditional‑use requirement for medical cannabis dispensaries in four District 4 neighborhood commercial districts (Irving, Judah, Noriega, and Taraval) after a recent code cleanup inadvertently removed that control. Tang said the item corrects an unintentional change and asked the committee to send the measure to the full Board as a committee report for consideration on May 5; the motion passed unanimously.
Supervisor Scott Wiener acknowledged he had sponsored the earlier broad code cleanup that unintentionally removed the control and supported restoring the prior restriction, saying code cleanups can have unintended consequences and should be corrected.
On item 4 (a hearing to review housing resources and options for retention of rent‑controlled housing), the sponsoring supervisor requested more time and the committee continued that item to the call of the chair. Public commenters urged stronger enforcement of short‑term rental rules, expansion of small‑sites acquisition programs, and more support for seniors and tenants at risk of no‑fault evictions.
Both actions were approved without roll‑call votes recorded in the transcript and with unanimous support from committee members.
