This ordinance amends the San Francisco Planning Code to allow corner businesses in all Neighborhood Commercial and Residential-Commercial Districts citywide to install two projecting signs. Previously, businesses in these districts were generally limited to one projecting sign, with a specific exception for the now-abolished 2301 Chestnut Street Special Sign District, which allowed two. The change aims to support the vitality of commercial corridors and attract pedestrians by enhancing visibility. The ordinance also abolishes the 2301 Chestnut Street Special Sign District, as its provisions are superseded by the citywide change. It affirms the Planning Department's environmental determination and findings of consistency with the General Plan and priority policies.
