NEW Proposal To Pack More People And In-Laws Into The Castro With San Francisco’s population rising and rents rising even more, Supervisor Wiener is sponsoring an amendment to San Franciscos Planning Code which would waive existing density restrictions and Code requirements to allow the construction of an additional dwelling unit or units within the existing envelope of a residential building or auxiliary structure on the same lot (In-Law Units) on any parcel in the Castro Street Neighborhood Commercial District and within 1,750 feet of the District boundaries. While constructed after 1979, any newly created units under the ordinance would still be subject to Rent Control if the existing building or any of the existing units within the existing building in which the new units built are currently subject to Rent Control. As we wrote back in 2007: Going green might be trendy (and we’re all for it), but as far as we’re concerned it’s a focus on density (and infill) that will define the next era in San Franciscos development, neighborhoods, and lifestyle. San Franciscos Land Use and Economic Development Committee will review the proposed ordinance next week. From Socket: bit.ly/HtbS8R
