But the effort recently took on a new dimension after he accepted a recommendation from the Planning Commission that would upzone all single-family neighborhoods to allow duplexes, basically<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span>exempting San Francisco from SB9 because the law applies only to areas zoned for single-family homes. Mandelman and housing advocates endorsing his proposal say it would adapt SB9 to the city\u2019s unique character.<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sfchronicle.com\/sf\/article\/Can-new-housing-revive-San-Francisco-s-16969727.php\"><br \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The law also makes it easier to get a building permit. Under SB9, homeowners can build more units on their lots through a process known as ministerial approval, a streamlined review that removes city officials\u2019 discretion to arbitrarily reject denser housing.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Mandelman\u2019s plan does have critics, including the group that took its moniker from the group Never in My Back Yard \u2014 NIMBY adherents want to preserve single-resident neighborhoods. Yes in My Back Yard (YIMBY) oppose the plan, claiming the new process will hurt people who need affordable housing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not a good enough trade-off,\u201d Rafa Sonnenfeld, director of legal advocacy at YIMBY Law, said in the<em> Chronicle<\/em> report. \u201cIt\u2019s the most basic way of getting around the law. I believe San Francisco has one of the longest review periods of any city in the state.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Allowing San Francisco to skip the law\u2019s expedited review process will make \u201cbonus\u201d units subject to local rent control and also won\u2019t require new multi-unit properties on once-single residential lots to be owner occupied for three years.<\/p>\n<p><em>Follow Penny Starr on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/PennyStarrDC\">Twitter<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The California law that virtually spells the end of single-family-home neighborhood zoning is not enough for San Francisco, where even more dense housing will be embedded into neighborhoods around the<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1365496","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1365496","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1365496"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1365496\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1365496"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1365496"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1365496"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
