The City is preparing to vote on the Family Zoning Plan: a once-in-a-generation rezoning proposal that could finally make it legal to build more housing in neighborhoods that have long excluded it. This plan is a major step toward a more inclusive, affordable, and sustainable San Francisco.

After years of work, months of community input, and multiple public hearings, the Planning Commission will take its vote on September 11. That means now is the time to show up and speak out.

What the Plan Would Do:

• Create more options for families by legalizing backyard cottages, in-law units, and small apartments so families can stay together and renters can live near work, school, and community.

• Prioritize smart growth by focusing new housing near transit, schools, parks, and local businesses.

• Protect essential funding by keeping San Francisco in compliance with state housing law, which helps preserve funding for transit, affordable housing, and infrastructure.

This plan is supported by affordable housing developers, pro-housing advocates, labor unions, and residents from across the city. But opposition has been organizing hard and showing up in force at every hearing. We need to match their energy and show the broad, growing support for a more livable city.
