Lurie Signs the Family Zoning Plan, Upzoning San Francisco's West and North

Mayor Daniel Lurie signed the Family Zoning Plan, which allows taller, denser housing along transit and commercial corridors, mostly in the north and west of the city, to plan for about 36,000 more homes ahead of a 31 January 2026 state deadline.

The package updates zoning to allow a wider range of building types and more height in key areas, from smaller buildings in residential areas to larger apartment and condo projects on commercial streets and transit corridors^[1]
It creates Housing Choice San Francisco, a local housing bonus program offered as an optional alternative to the state density bonus, and a special use district for SFMTA-owned sites to combine housing and transit facilities^[1]
The Board of Supervisors first approved the plan 7-4 on 2 December 2025, splitting its moderate and progressive factions; newly sworn-in Supervisor Alan Wong voted in favour^[4]
The Board adopted the final ordinances on 9 December and Lurie signed them on 12 December, ahead of the 31 January 2026 state deadline for a compliant rezoning; they took effect on 12 January 2026^[2]
Under state law San Francisco must plan for roughly 36,000 more housing units between 2023 and 2031; SF Planning describes high-rises at major intersections and transit hubs, an extra floor (up to 5 storeys) near selected commercial streets and up to 6 storeys on corner lots and sites over 8,000 sq ft^[2]
The state housing department had preliminarily indicated the plan meets state requirements, with a final determination expected later in December^[1]
Critics threatened lawsuits and some planned a ballot measure to shield rent-controlled buildings from redevelopment^[3]
