SF Advances SB79 Alternative Plan, Rejects Sunset of Industrial Zone Exemptions After Heated Debate
The committee approved the city's SB79 alternative plan with permanent industrial hub exemptions intact, rejecting a 2028 sunset amendment 1-2.
Why it matters: The plan defines San Francisco's compliance strategy for SB79's transit-oriented housing mandates; permanent industrial exemptions shield SOMA, Mission, and Bayview PDR zones from residential conversion, but critics say it blocks desperately needed housing in transit-rich areas.

EV Curbside Charging Permit Program Clears Committee Without Debate
An ordinance authorizing SFMTA to issue curbside electric vehicle charging permits on city sidewalks advances to the full board.
Why it matters: The ordinance removes a Public Works encroachment permit barrier and centralizes EV charging authority under SFMTA, accelerating deployment of charging infrastructure.

AB 2276Land Use and Transportation Committee8d agoApril 20, 2026
SF Endorses Pilot Requiring Speed Limiters for Reckless Drivers
Committee unanimously backs AB 2276, which would mandate active speed-limiting devices for drivers convicted of severe speeding offenses.
Why it matters: Eight pedestrian fatalities in San Francisco's first four months of 2026 underscore urgency; a similar New York City pilot cut total speeding time by 64%.

Committee Advances 13 District 3 Landmarks, Continues Two for Owner Outreach
Thirteen iconic District 3 buildings including the Transamerica Pyramid and Vesuvio Cafe move toward landmark status under the Family Zoning Plan.
Why it matters: This is the city's first large-scale expedited landmarking effort, ensuring that ambitious housing production goals don't come at the expense of San Francisco's most significant historic resources.

SF Asserts Local Control Over State Transit Housing Law, Exempts Industrial Hubs
The committee amended and continued the city's SB79 implementation ordinance, which preserves local zoning by adopting an alternative plan that exceeds state density requirements by 170,000 units.
Why it matters: Without this ordinance by July 1, state-mandated height increases would override local zoning across three-quarters of the city; the alternative plan lets San Francisco maintain control while exceeding SB79 capacity requirements.

File 260238Land Use and Transportation Committee15d agoApril 13, 2026
EV Curbside Charging Program Gains Two Amendments, Heads to Full Board April 20
SFMTA's permanent curbside EV charging permit program was amended to add penalty authority and discourage commercial fleet use, then continued to April 20.
Why it matters: San Francisco needs roughly 450 more public chargers to hit its 2030 EV goals; this program targets renters and multifamily residents who have no garage access for home charging.

Committee Unanimously Advances 541-Unit One Oak Tower to Full Board
Committee recommended approval of a zoning map amendment to raise the podium height at One Oak Street from 120 to 140 feet, enabling 541 housing units.
Why it matters: The long-stalled project at Market and Van Ness is seen as a bellwether for Mid-Market revitalization; union trades say approval sends a signal that San Francisco can still build.

Chapter 9Land Use and Transportation Committee22d agoApril 6, 2026
SF Codifies Net-Zero-by-2040 Climate Targets as Budget Cuts Threaten Implementation
Committee approves Environment Code amendments locking in climate goals and department accountability, while public commenters warn a proposed 80% general fund cut would gut implementation capacity.
Why it matters: The ordinance makes San Francisco's 61% emissions-reduction-by-2030 and net-zero-by-2040 targets legally binding, but the mayor's proposed budget would eliminate nearly eight Environment Department positions critical to plan delivery.
