The San Francisco Local Agency Formation Commission continued consideration of the Midtown Park Apartments final study to the call of the chair at its March 17, 2025 meeting, citing a recent response letter from the Mayor’s Office of Housing and Community Development (MOHCD) that commissioners and staff needed time to review.

Acting Chair Hope Williams said the commission had just received a response letter from MOHCD and proposed continuing the item to allow commissioners, staff and consultants to review the letter and prepare a full presentation. Williams indicated the item will likely return at the commission’s next meeting on March 21, 2025.

A staff member identified as Kala told the commission she is coordinating with consultants to provide a full presentation of the final study and to set up a meeting with Midtown Park residents to debrief the findings. Kala said the consultants “also wish to draft a response to MOHCD’s letter, which will be on our agenda for March 21st.”

Kala summarized staff’s preliminary read of MOHCD’s response, saying the office is “interested in maintaining the community guidelines for Midtown. However, they don't have the funding necessary to implement these recommendations in this study,” and that implementation would likely require action by the commission or other bodies and additional funding. Kala said consultants will detail cost estimates at the next presentation.

Commissioner Connie Chan moved to continue the item to the call of the chair; Commissioner Isaac Sevier seconded the motion. The clerk recorded three ayes, and the commission voted to postpone further action until staff and consultants return with a presentation and draft response.

There were no public comments on this agenda item during the meeting.
