The San Francisco Business Times reported that San Francisco's city administration proposed over 100 changes to its planning code. The changes are co-sponsored by Supervisors Joel Engardio, Matt Dorsey, and Myrna Melgar. The changes are expected to streamline the process for new businesses, reduce costs, and help fill commercial vacancies. - The proposed regulatory changes include the relaxation of public notice requirements for outdoor patios, allowing more types of commercial uses on the ground floor of buildings, and more.
- The legislation also introduces flexible retail, which allows businesses to switch between six different uses without additional permits.
- According to the city's mayor London Breed, the legislation is necessary to restore the Downtown economy.
- An appropriate committee will review the proposal following its introduction earlier this week.
