Good afternoon, everyone.

This meeting will come to order.

Welcome to the October 20th, 2025, regular meeting of the land use and transportation committee of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors.

I'm Supervisor Mirna Melgar, chair of this committee, joined by Vice Chair Supervisor Cheyenne Chen and Supervisor Bilal Mahmoud.

The committee clerk today is John Carroll.

I would also like to acknowledge Jeanette Ingelauf at SFGov TV for supporting us in broadcasting this meeting to everyone who is interested in watching it but cannot be here today.

So with that, uh Mr.

Clerk, do you have any announcements?

Thank you, Madam Chair.

Please ensure that you've silenced your cell phones and other electronic devices you've brought with you into the chamber today.

If you have any documents to be included as part of any of today's files, you can submit them to me.

Do so by just leaving them at the rail and I will pick them up.

Public comment will be taken on each item on today's agenda.

When your item of interest comes up and public comment is called, please line up to speak along your right hand side of this room.

Alternatively, you may submit public comment and writing in either of the following ways.

First, you may email your comment to me at J O H N period, C-A-R-R-O-L-L at SFGOV.org.

Or you may send your written comments via U.S.

Postal Service to our office in City Hall.

The address is 1 Dr.

Carlton B.

Goodlit Place, Room 244, San Francisco, California 94102.

If you submit public comment in writing, it will be forwarded to the members of this panel and also include your comments as part of the official file on which you are commenting.

A few additional things.

However, conduct will still be conducted as if it was just a regular land use meeting.

We have three voting members, and they are the regular members of this committee.

A few additional things since we're at a uh capacity for this room.

We have overflow seating set up in room 263 down the hall, and there is also viewing set up downstairs in the North Light Court.

If you are here in the chamber with us, everyone who is in the chamber needs to have a seat.

If you don't have a seat, please go down the hall to the overflow seating.

When we do get to public comment, people can line up and we'll be sure to hear from everyone.

One more thing, just a moment while I gather my thoughts.

Thank you everyone for coming in and participating in the conversation today.

We will hear from everyone.

You are likely in the public gallery to hear things that you agree with or disagree with.

If you do, that's fine.

But do not interrupt our proceedings with applause or hissing or jeering or thumb snaps or anything.

It's very challenging on this side of the rail to hear, even with the public address system.

Everyone will have their chance to give their public comment and come forward to the lectern when it is their time, but we need to hear from people without the interruptions from the public gallery.

And madam chair, that is the end of my announcements.

Thank you so much, Mr.

Clerk.

I also want to thank everyone for coming and being part of uh this process.

Um I will reiterate uh what Mr.

Clerk just said.

Uh, please refrain from applause or audible um expressions of uh support or disapproval, like hissing or anything else.

Uh, if uh anyone uses foul languages or personal attacks, uh I will stop public comment.

Uh I don't think that it's helpful to get us to consensus in a democratic process.

I also want to thank all of my colleagues who uh are not members of the land use committee for being here today.

Uh, it is an important day.

Uh all of us have put in significant amount of work with our constituent and also in the legislative process to draft amendments and to consider what is being proposed.

So I just want to thank you all very much uh for your hard work uh on behalf of your constituents and for being here today.

And I also want to thank my colleagues in the land use and transportation committee, supervisors at Chen and Mahmoud, uh, because you know this is not the first uh for us.

We've been at it for a while.

In fact, the Board of Supervisors has been uh at this process now for over two years since before we passed uh our housing element.

So thank you so much for being here.

And with that, Mr.

Clerk, please call items one through four together.

Agenda item number one is an ordinance amending the general plan to revise the urban design element, commerce and industry element, transportation element, Balboa Park Station Area Plan, Glen Park Community Plan, Market and Octavia Area Plan, Northeastern Waterfront Plan, Van Ness Avenue Area Plan, Western Soma Area Plan, Western Shoreline Area Plan, Downtown Area Plan, and Land Use Index to implement the family zoning housing program, including the Housing Choice San Francisco program by adjusting guidelines regarding building heights, density, design, and other matters.

It amends the city's local coastal program to implement the Housing Choice San Francisco program and other associated changes in the city's coastal zone.

Agenda item number two is an ordinance amending the zoning map to implement the family zoning plan by amending the zoning use district maps to first reclassify certain properties currently zoned in various types of residential to residential transit oriented commercial RTOC.
