The Board of Supervisors approved an ordinance amending the planning code to waive certain development impact fees in the Market & Octavia area plan, and to amend the Van Ness Market Residential Special Use District so the Market & Octavia Community Advisory Committee will sunset six months after the ordinance’s effective date. The ordinance also included conforming planning‑code definition changes and affirmed the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) determination.

At roll call on Item 3, the measure passed with nine ayes and two no votes. Supervisors Walton and Fielder recorded the no votes. The clerk announced the ordinance was finally passed following the roll call.

Why it matters: The measure revises development fee obligations within a key planning area and ends the community advisory body after a six‑month transition. Changes to fee structures and advisory bodies can affect project economics and local community input processes.

Details: The ordinance amends the Planning Code for the Market & Octavia plan area, waiving specified development impact fees and altering the Van Ness Market Residential Special Use District language to set the committee’s sunset timeline. The city clerk recorded 9 ayes and 2 noes on the final passage.
