Lurie's Family Zoning Plan approved 7-4

The Board of Supervisors advanced the most significant housing zoning overhaul in years, voting 7–4 to expand density across the city while rejecting a push from tenant advocates to shield all rent-controlled units from demolition. The session also exposed fault lines over ethics rules, with supervisors splitting on whether to let the Mayor's office and homeless services agencies solicit private donations outside normal campaign finance guardrails.

• Family Housing Zoning Program clears first reading on 7–4 vote after tenant protection amendment fails

• Supervisors approve six-month behested payments waiver for Mayor and OEWD economic development solicitations (8–3)

• HSH authorized to solicit private donations for shelter expansion despite concerns over oversight (10–1)

• SFPD reform hearing continued to May 2026 as department nears full DOJ compliance

• Sideshow fines doubled to $1,000; vending enforcement strengthened with new penalty structure

• West SoMa Entertainment Zone created to support nightlife district (11–0)

The Board advanced a sweeping package of zoning changes designed to increase housing capacity citywide, but not before a contentious debate over whether the city should go further to protect existing rent-controlled apartments.
