Much of the Sunset is already compact, with row houses shoulder-to-shoulder that would look like urban blocks in most towns. You can’t simply stack more stories on soft sand and limited parking and call it progress.
The plan would raise height limits from the current four stories in many places to as much as eight stories. It would encourage the demolition of single-family housing and even small apartment buildings in favor of larger apartment buildings.
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors passed legislation 8-3 at its April 22 meeting requiring tenants, businesses and property owners to be notified about zoning changes proposed for parts of the City’s west side.
