The City and County of San Francisco passed an ordinance amending the Planning Code to rezone 135 Kissling Street from Residential Enclave (RED) to Residential Enclave-Mixed (RED-MX). This rezoning now conditionally permits vehicle storage lots within the RED-MX district, aligning with the broader objective to support the retention and growth of existing automotive businesses. The rezoning enables Royal Motors, a longstanding local business, to utilize the property for vehicle storage, supporting its operations in the Western SoMa area.
This rezoning is significant as it facilitates the continued operation and expansion of an established automotive business in the neighborhood, promoting economic stability and the preservation of local industry while ensuring the land use is consistent with the surrounding area.
