Supervisor Mark Dorsey (appeared as a supporter) and the ordinance sponsor framed the change as a technical tool to enable recovery-oriented, drug-free interim housing options. Emily Cohen, deputy director at the Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing (HSH), said the duplicate file returns to the committee with substantive amendments and three newly named sites added to the ordinance rather than broadening the ordinance citywide. The three sites named in the committee presentation are the Sharon Hotel (a 60-unit project in District 6, HSH-funded; the city is in the process of contracting with the Salvation Army to operate it), the KEEN (identified as a District 6 project funded by the Department of Public Health and to be operated by Westside Community Services; presented in the file as 76 short-term drug-free health-respite beds), and the Marina Inn (District 2; DPH-funded, operated by the Salvation Army; described as a 68-bed post-treatment abstinence-based recovery housing program with one floor dedicated to cis and transgender women).

The ordinance amends both the Planning Code and the Building Code to authorize interim housing in hotels and motels without changing the underlying occupancy classification, allows reestablishment of tourist-hotel use for certain SIP hotels, and removes Appendix P restrictions that emergency housing be located on city-owned or -leased land. The duplicate file returned from the Planning Commission was passed on consent in May. HSH staff read technical amendments into the record adding block and lot numbers for the Civic Center Motor Inn and other administrative cleanups.

Supervisors asked about tracking outcomes and turnover. HSH said the Sharon Hotel contract will include deliverables to collect bed-turnover information and recovery-aligned service deliverables; the HSH contract was approved by the relevant commission for that project. Christy Soren, deputy medical director for substance-use services at the Department of Public Health, said DPH will track occupancy, client demographics and discharge outcomes for the KEEN and Marina Inn (defining successful discharges as steps out of street homelessness or stable housing and, for the Marina Inn, outcomes that include being off substances, employed and stably housed). DPH confirmed one floor at the Marina Inn will be dedicated to cis and transgender women and that programs will track demographics; DPH said it will provide stabilization services (wound care, medication initiation) at the KEEN.

There was no public comment. Supervisor Bilal Mahmood moved to amend the ordinance as presented by HSH; the committee voted 3–0 to adopt the amendments. Mahmood then moved to continue the ordinance, as amended, to the June 16, 2025 committee meeting for additional review; that motion also passed 3–0. Committee members emphasized the city will continue community engagement, and staff said future proposed sites would require additional Board action rather than blanket exemptions.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","San Francisco County - Video Open Video Only in Windows Media Player - Jun 09, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","The committee agreed to amendments adding three named sites (Sharon Hotel, the KEEN, and the Marina Inn) to an ordinance authorizing interim housing in tourist hotels and motels, approved the amendments, and continued the ordinance as amended to the June 16 committee meeting for further review.","taxTitle","San Francisco County, California","taxId",2862,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6530075,"Committee backs ordinance allowing two projecting signs for corner businesses and abolishing 2301 Chestnut special sign district",305,468000,773000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3731128-2a4798dfcda18e46da5ef4c25c9fdf56&start=468&end=773","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3731128-2a4798dfcda18e46da5ef4c25c9fdf56/thumbnail_468000.jpg","/articles/6530075/San-Francisco-County/California/Committee-backs-ordinance-allowing-two-projecting-signs-for-corner-businesses-and-abolishing-2301-Chestnut-special-sign-district","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6530075-a36de0f9a79f453a3dc96a71b3a68454/orig.mp4?Expires=1770997597&Signature=gO2enopybZdpmEt1Vg1fzLHXWD7LSFnGePdAax3s6U7eY2CeZWsEgZ6lb~ZCyQLBA8Z1mGf9PEo4epsrV7S8NCsINhFBYvoMsILvHx7qOPGS57Zdi5OX1Jkla70iRnx1NVX0UNIIpeP1IIS3hWa0~g5lZqniWhY00MML12UkJ4-hvMgWOGp9fwXhkMe6HjvJXL-4dCNwJl7xkq5Uk4yyW1YLAa7pE5C6lSjfeJSt2~o5zhbH7sPHUV~EnaRczxf5GkviYX-UJv5aSwhXzCj2YzXWsVzB9gJZn~h2O0C0NKY1fnUjIfFSQ1rUW3RU8OiDQl0XeNjEy9ZM02ozNeQKwA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Land Use and Transportation Committee of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors on June 9 recommended that the full Board approve an ordinance amending the Planning Code to allow two projecting signs for corner businesses in all neighborhood commercial (NC) and residential commercial (RC) districts and to abolish the 2301 Chestnut Street special sign district.

Lorenzo Rosas, representing the ordinance sponsor (identified as Supervisor Cheryl's office), said the change would let corner businesses display a second projecting sign to activate storefronts and help struggling small businesses attract patrons. Rosas said planning staff found that noncompliant businesses with two projecting signs are disproportionately located in cultural heritage districts and that the code change would bring many existing businesses into compliance and allow more shops to express cultural and artistic identities.

Audrey Maloney of the Planning Department told the committee the Planning Commission heard the item on May 15 and voted unanimously to approve it. Supervisors including Supervisor Dorsey and Vice Chair Cheyenne Chen voiced support and added their names as co-sponsors.

There was no public comment on the item. Supervisor Bilal Mahmood moved to send the ordinance to the full Board with a positive recommendation. The committee recorded a 3–0 vote in favor: Chen, aye; Mahmood, aye; Melgar, aye.

The ordinance as described in committee would also amend the zoning map to reflect the abolition of the 2301 Chestnut Street special sign district and includes findings required under Planning Code Section 101.1 and Section 302. The Planning Department and sponsor emphasized the change is intended to support small-business economic recovery and address equity concerns tied to historical design controls in some neighborhoods.","The Land Use and Transportation Committee voted 3–0 to recommend an ordinance that would allow two projecting signs for corner businesses citywide in NC and RC districts and abolish the 2301 Chestnut Street special sign district; Planning Commission previously approved the change on consent.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6530077,"Committee recommends $RMRA list covering 178 blocks for San Francisco resurfacing program",352,102000,454000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=3731128-2a4798dfcda18e46da5ef4c25c9fdf56&start=102&end=454","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/3731128-2a4798dfcda18e46da5ef4c25c9fdf56/thumbnail_102000.jpg","/articles/6530077/San-Francisco-County/California/Committee-recommends-RMRA-list-covering-178-blocks-for-San-Francisco-resurfacing-program","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6530077-aea34da84a3259cea3c08f8fff2be703/orig.mp4?Expires=1770997597&Signature=CtkaqZgcQqHwZ8zbYq4wL5yxAsO~KNd0t8X828NjwSmcjShKJuh8dvga8qQZP1yGqo-fW4dMKKdiWDWCVuXGJUCGJW~MvsBKNDOHNssclfasV4sFpFTP4LrTKp65USPEyIscUHuQgrN7L3LiRW2BEeRTkTOoto9rgp1FGQiMrRdNcSgL~4Bte333y80p-DBO~HWdF~xpFCHKXM6oCvhJS9RUbwIb2nyb~yPbB2nBAx0CGnYHFYNPFZTGL87X2JOiXdQB1PIzTE3PJsTNK7FE3AbGwsr10GZ1~Z0lmZLyP4IvvyS9RiZuHCIRDsuBYs4cuMhPewXj2c0huwiuHCo7iA__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Land Use and Transportation Committee of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors on June 9 recommended that the full Board approve a list of street-resurfacing projects to be funded with fiscal year 2025–26 Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) funds.

San Francisco Public Works presented six projects covering 178 blocks citywide that will be paid from RMRA funds, a portion of a broader resurfacing program. Ian Schneider, government affairs manager at San Francisco Public Works, told the committee the projects are in the design phase and are expected to be advertised for construction later in 2025 or in the first half of 2026. Schneider said the RMRA funds are one funding source among several the department uses for resurfacing; the department plans to resurface over 420 blocks citywide next fiscal year, with 178 of those proposed for RMRA funding.

The RMRA funds derive from additional gas and diesel taxes enacted by California Senate Bill 1 (the Road Repair and Accountability Act of 2017) and are distributed annually on a formula basis to cities and counties. Schneider noted the California Transportation Commission requires adoption of an annual project list before jurisdictions receive the funds. Supplemental materials attached to the resolution include a block-level project list and a map indicating which blocks would be funded by RMRA and which by other sources.

Supervisors asked staff for district-specific details. Supervisor Bilal Mahmood asked whether particular streets in District 5 (Haight Street and portions of Van Ness or David) were candidates for other funding; Schneider said he would follow up with district-specific plans. Supervisor Cheyenne Chen requested a snapshot of the street network and the prioritization criteria for her district; Schneider agreed to provide that information.

There was no public comment on the item. Chair Mirna Melgar moved that the committee send the resolution to the full board with a positive recommendation; the motion passed 3–0 with Vice Chair Cheyenne Chen, Supervisor Bilal Mahmood and Chair Mirna Melgar voting “aye.” Items acted on at this meeting are expected to appear on the Board of Supervisors agenda for June 17, 2025, unless otherwise stated.

The committee record shows the RMRA-funded list is one discrete funding tranche within a larger resurfacing program; staff emphasized that streets not on the RMRA list will be addressed using other funding sources and timelines.","The Land Use and Transportation Committee recommended the board approve a list of 178 street-resurfacing blocks to be funded from fiscal year 2025–26 Road Maintenance and Rehabilitation Account (RMRA) funds; projects are in design and expected to be advertised for construction in 2025 or early 2026.","actionData","errors"]
