How does Mayor Luries family zoning affect you? Use our map to find out.

Mayor Daniel Lurie's "family zoning" proposal will be presented to the San Francisco Planning Commission, aiming to reshape the city’s housing landscape. The plan seeks to expand building height limits along commercial and transit corridors, allowing structures to rise up to 650 feet in select areas. Introduced last week, the initiative is part of a broader effort to address the city's housing crisis by eliminating unit construction caps in designated zones. While YIMBY groups celebrate the proposal as a step toward increased housing availability, neighborhood coalitions, including Neighborhoods United, vehemently oppose blanket upzoning reforms. This political gamble signals a shift in Lurie's approach, moving from a campaign emphasis on public safety to a focus on housing solutions.

The urgency of the proposal is compounded by a state mandate necessitating new zoning legislation by January 2026. Given the pressing timeline, a version of the proposal is expected to gain traction with the Planning Commission before proceeding to the Board of Supervisors. Ultimately, the mayor's support will be crucial in determining its fate.
