Charter Amendment#220631Passed
In plain English
This legislation speeds up the review and approval process for 100% affordable housing projects, educator housing projects, and certain market-rate projects that offer significant affordability. It also requires the Planning Department to handle these approvals directly, bypassing some city boards and commissions, and mandates an annual report on affordable housing as part of the city budget discussions.
Charter Amendment (Fourth Draft) to amend the Charter of the City and County of San Francisco to provide for accelerated review and approval of eligible 100% affordable housing projects, educator housing projects, and market-rate projects that provide significant increased affordability, and providing for Planning Department ministerial review in lieu of approvals by or certain appeals to City boards and commissions; to make corresponding amendments to the Planning Code and the Business and Tax Regulations Code; to amend the Administrative Code to provide for an Annual Affordable Housing Allocation Report as part of the City’s budget deliberation process; and to declare as City policy the need to accelerate approval of 100% affordable housing projects, educator housing projects, and market-rate projects that provide significant increased affordability; to make findings of compliance with the General Plan and Planning Code, Section 101.1 and findings of public necessity, convenience, and welfare under Planning Code, Section 302; and affirming the Planning Department’s determination under the California Environmental Quality Act; at an election to be held on November 8, 2022.
