The San Francisco Board of Supervisors approved a resolution extending by 90 days the time within which the Planning Commission must render its decision on an ordinance (File No. 241069). This ordinance seeks to amend the Planning and Subdivision Codes to allow the separate conveyance of certain accessory dwelling units (ADUs) and their associated primary dwelling units as condominiums. The extension was requested by Supervisor Engardio to provide additional time for the Planning Commission’s review. The measure also affirms the Planning Department’s compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and aligns with the General Plan and Planning Code’s priority policies. Without this extension, the Planning Commission would have been required to issue a decision by early February 2025, but the resolution now pushes the deadline to May 5, 2025.
This decision grants additional time for reviewing a policy that could impact housing affordability and homeownership opportunities in San Francisco. If approved, the ordinance could provide new pathways for property owners to convert ADUs into separately owned condominium units, affecting housing supply and accessibility.
