This ordinance amends the Planning Code to eliminate retail use size limits on Health Service Uses in the Mixed Use-Office (MUO) District, specifically east of 7th Street. Previously, conditional use authorization was required for single Retail Sales and Service Uses exceeding 50,000 gross square feet in most zoning districts, and 25,000 gross square feet in the MUO District with a required 3:1 ratio of other permitted uses to retail. The amendment exempts Health Service Uses in the MUO District from both the 50,000 gross square foot limit (Planning Code Section 121.6) and the 25,000 gross square foot limit with its associated ratio requirements (Planning Code Section 832). The Planning Department affirmed consistency with the California Environmental Quality Act and the General Plan, and the Board of Supervisors made findings of public necessity, convenience, and welfare. The legislation was passed on first reading by the Board of Supervisors on June 10, 2025, and finally passed on June 17, 2025.
