Letter to the Planning Commission

Earlier this month the Planning Commission voted to advance the Mayor’s upzoning plan with a 4-3 vote. This split vote shows that there are clearly concerns with the plan and reinforces what we have heard from community, housing advocates and stakeholders over the last year, that we must do more to protect our tenants, aging homeowners, and small businesses from displacement while advancing legislation to support more housing.

I attended the Planning Commission hearing and testified about my concerns and delivered a letter to the Planning Commission laying out potential amendments to the plan that would help mitigate the impact on our communities. I am sharing my letter below and will keep you updated with the progress we make with the Mayor’s Office on implementing these amendments.

District 1 Individual Landmarks Community Forum

Join me on Wednesday, October 1, 2025 from 5:00pm - 6:00pm for a virtual meeting with the Planning Department about potential individual landmark designitations in District 1.

Planning Staff has created a list of potential sites for landmarking in our district and will present on this list as well as the process, incentives and reposibilities of a landmarked building.

Individual Landmarks are unique and irreplaceable assets, serving to enhance and protect many of the physical surroundings in which past generations lived. Currently 10 properties are being considered as Individual Article 10 Landmarks due to their architectural, cultural, and/or historical significance as follows:

• 2400 Fulton Street
• 6210-6222 Geary Boulevard
• 301 Clement Street
• 499 41st Avenue
• 389 9th Avenue
• 4121 Geary Boulevard
• 4410 Geary Boulevard
• 490 6th Avenue
• 300 Funston Avenue
• 3700 Geary Boulevard

Please email Alex.Westhoff@sfgov.org for a zoom link for the meeting.
