"Plaintiffs representing small businesses and neighborhood groups filed a lawsuit on Friday morning challenging Mayor Daniel Lurie's controversial \" Family Zoning Plan,\" which allows for taller and more dense housing in large swaths of the city. California required San Francisco to adopt an updated zoning plan by Jan. 31 to make way for 82,000 housing units in the next five years."
"Some 43,000 units that the city has already approved, but that have yet to be developed, are included in the tally of total units. The city's plan aims to create capacity for at least 36,000 units for various income levels. The mayor's office, planning department and other agencies held numerous public meetings, workshops and feedback sessions on the plan leading up to its final vote in December."
Plaintiffs representing small businesses and neighborhood groups filed a lawsuit challenging the Family Zoning Plan that allows taller, denser housing across large parts of the city. California required San Francisco to update zoning to accommodate 82,000 housing units over five years, including about 43,000 already approved but undeveloped units. The plan aims to create capacity for at least 36,000 units at various income levels. City agencies conducted public meetings and workshops and amended the plan to bar demolition of buildings with three or more rent-controlled units. Small business advocates expressed concern about worker displacement and housing loss, while city officials defended the plan's review process.
