Supervisor Connie Chan, who spoke in support of the project, described it as “a really good example, of how I think we could accomplish, developments in our city,” and said the city would receive a “brand new fire station that’s been, a long time coming” for the area. The board approved items 15 through 18, and companion items 25 and 26, by an 11–0 roll call vote.

Why it matters: The package revises the general plan and planning code, creates a special use district for the site, approves a major encroachment permit for pedestrian and streetscape work, authorizes a conditional property exchange to build the new fire station, and adopts a development agreement and a hotel/fire station incentive agreement. The development agreement includes approximately $4.3 million for additional affordable housing payments and sets aside $7 million in transit funding; the incentive agreement offers up to about $86 million in net present value over 25 years as a percentage of new transient occupancy tax receipts tied to a proposed hotel, according to the ordinance summaries presented to the board.

Speakers and debate: Supervisor Chan and Supervisor Sauter delivered the substantive remarks recorded in the legislative proceedings. Chan acknowledged the project’s tradeoffs, including the required demolition of a landmarked building at 447 Battery Street and the displacement impact on a small business there, but argued the new fire station and the overall public benefits justified approval. “It may not be something that we all want,” Chan said, but she emphasized the multi‑stage review by the Historic Preservation Commission, Planning Commission and the Government Audit and Oversight Committee. Supervisor Sauter described the item as “an extensive process” and highlighted city benefits including transit funding and an upfront affordable housing contribution for a Chinatown site (New Asia at 772 Pacific Ave).

Project and funding specifics recorded in the meeting record: the package (as summarized at the hearing) includes (a) amendments to the General Plan and Downtown Area Plan; (b) creation of the 530 Sansom Mixed‑Use Tower and Fire Station Special Use District with conditional use review; (c) a major encroachment permit for EQX Jackson SQ Hold Co, LLC for streetscape and pedestrian improvements; (d) an amended and restated conditional property exchange for 530 Sansom and 447 Battery Street to enable construction of the new fire station; (e) a development agreement that accepts and appropriates roughly $4.3 million for additional affordable housing; and (f) a hotel and fire station development incentive agreement calculated at roughly $86,000,000 net present value over 25 years for measurement purposes tied to future transient occupancy taxes. The board record notes the project footprint sits adjacent to Transamerica, Chinatown and the Jackson Square Historic District.

Votes: The board took a single roll call on the group of items. Supervisors Sauter, Sheryl (Cheryl), Walton, Chan, Chen, Dorsey, Engadio, Fielder, Mahmood, Mandelmann and Melgar voted aye; the clerk announced 11 ayes and the items were passed on first reading.

Context and next steps: The ordinances were passed on first reading; subsequent required steps include additional legislative readings and final adoption where applicable, and implementation of the development agreement and incentive terms subject to the timelines in the ordinances and agreements. The record shows outreach and review by several city commissions and the Government Audit and Oversight Committee prior to the board vote.

Resolution adopted; Supervisor Dorsey briefly spoke in support.

Other routine matters adopted included approvals of meeting minutes, appointments (item 23), and several planning and administrative ordinances on first reading that were announced as passed on first reading by the clerk.

Vote practice: Most of the above were approved “same house, same call” or without objection, as recorded in the clerk’s summaries. A small number of items required roll calls elsewhere on the agenda; those items are noted in the meeting minutes. The clerk announced final tallies where roll calls occurred.","At its Oct. 7 meeting the San Francisco Board of Supervisors adopted a series of routine and substantive resolutions and contracts, including grants and procurement contracts.

The ordinance passed on first reading by a 10–1 vote, with Supervisor Fielder voting no.

The change implements state legislation commonly referenced as Senate Bill 937 and aligns local practice with California Government Code Section 66007 by deferring fee collection from the permit‑issuance stage to the certificate of occupancy stage. The ordinance summary presented at the hearing says the amendment postpones fee collection to “the date of first certificate of occupancy or first temporary certificate of occupancy, whichever occurs first,” and affirms the associated CEQA determination.

Discussion and clarification: Supervisor Walton asked for the ordinance’s intended purpose and whether the city would be waiving fees. A Department of Building Inspection representative, identified as Mr. Hanna, said the ordinance is “implementing Senate Bill 937 from last year. This is a state requirement. This is just conforming with state law.” Deputy City Attorney Bridal Russi clarified the local effect: “this ordinance and the state bill that it implements, just delays the collection of the fees until the certificate of occupancy is issued rather than collecting them at the time the permit application is, the permit is granted.”

President Mandelmann, who spoke in the discussion, described historic local practice and noted concerns about deferring fees late in development, saying that in some cases a developer might not pay and that could create alignment issues between developers and future occupants; Mandelmann said he nonetheless planned to vote for the ordinance after confirming it is a state requirement.

Vote: The clerk conducted a roll call. The board recorded 10 ayes and 1 no (Supervisor Fielder). The ordinance was passed on first reading and will follow the city’s next steps for ordinance adoption and implementation.

Implications: The measure brings the city into conformity with the cited state requirement and changes the timing of when administrative and impact fees are collected from permit issuance to occupancy. Local officials raised concerns about the administrative and risk implications of collecting fees later in the development process, but recorded statements indicate the action is driven by state law.

","The board passed an ordinance, 10–1, that amends the building and planning codes to delay collection of certain development impact fees for designated residential projects until the date of first certificate of occupancy, implementing state law (SB 937 / California Government Code §66007). Supervisors questioned the policy tradeoffs before voting.","actionData","errors"]
