The next step was getting past the land use committee on January 10 and having Mayor London Breed’s approval. About 60 percent of San Francisco’s residential areas are zoned for single- and two-family homes, largely in the western half of the city.

Led by Sohab Mehmood and Paul McDougall, there were eight drafts reviewed by HCD throughout the process, and city and state officials met “monthly, if not weekly,” to review the process, according to Robert Frutchman from YIMBY Law. In the Bay Area, that deadline was January 31. But it was a close call that came down to the wire. Cities without a compliant housing element forfeit their ability to review certain development proposals. San Francisco city officials were left scrambling in October when they mistakenly thought their deadline for a state-approved housing element was four months later than it actually was.
