Land Use Committee Advances Fire Training Campus, Pauses Tenant and Historic Reuse Reforms

San Francisco's Land Use and Transportation Committee moved a major public safety project forward while pumping the brakes on two high-stakes policy rewrites—tenant protections and historic building conversions—that drew community advocates and the Mayor's Office into a delicate negotiation over amendments. Meanwhile, supervisors pressed city agencies to accelerate electric vehicle charging infrastructure, signaling impatience with the pace of the city's climate goals.

• SFFD training campus package clears committee, heads to full Board for street vacation hearings

• Tenant Protection Ordinance amended to tighten demolition standards, continued one week for further work

• Historic adaptive reuse rules paused to address Chinatown formula retail and hotel concerns

• Board President Mandelman pushes for faster EV curbside charger rollout than city's 100-by-2030 target

• Potrero HOPE SF wins streamlined authority to vacate streets block-by-block

• Commemorative street name honors Brian Craig Kelly in Bayview Hunters Point

The committee advanced a three-part legislative package enabling a new San Francisco Fire Department training facility at 1236 Carroll Avenue in Bayview-Hunters Point—a project years in the making that will consolidate firefighter training operations scattered across the city.
