Planning Commission Public Comment: Build More Homes!
The Planning Commission's action vote on San Francisco's new housing package. Show up. Give public comment. Help the room hear "yes" the day of the vote.
The Commission's recommendation sets the table for the Land Use Committee hearings in July and the Board of Supervisors final vote on July 21.
On May 19, Mayor Lurie and board members introduced the next big piece of San Francisco's build-more-homes agenda: an ordinance to update inclusionary housing requirements and a charter amendment to expand affordable housing financing — so the homes the Family Zoning Plan made legal can actually get built.
On Thursday, June 18 at 12:00 PM, the Planning Commission will vote on whether to recommend the ordinance to the Board of Supervisors. RSVP and we'll send you everything you need.
What to expect
Public comment is 2 minutes per person. You don't need to be a policy expert. You need to be a constituent who wants more homes in San Francisco. We'll send you one-page comment drafts from different perspectives. Read them or customize as you like!
What the legislation does
The ordinance follows the unanimous recommendation of the Controller and the Inclusionary Housing Technical Advisory Committee. It lowers on-site inclusionary requirements to 5% for projects of 25+ units, exempts small projects under 25 units, and pairs with a charter amendment to expand the Housing Trust Fund to $125 million a year. The result: more affordable and market-rate homes actually get built.
Hosted by Abundant SF, in coalition with the Housing Action Coalition and SF YIMBY.
Build more homes. For a San Francisco everyone can afford.
