The Board of Supervisors approved a resolution to extend the prescribed time by 90 days for the Planning Commission to render its decision on an Ordinance (File No. 250719). This Ordinance proposes amendments to the San Francisco Planning Code to redefine 'Family' as 'Household', eliminate numeric limits on unrelated family members, remove requirements for family members to share meals, and classify certain community care, elderly, congregate care, and recovery facilities as Residential Uses. It also includes groups of six or fewer people and associated operators as a 'Household'. The extension grants the Planning Commission until December 30, 2025, to review and decide on these proposed changes, which were introduced by Supervisor Mahmood on July 1, 2025.
