San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom vetoes the planning department's plan to reduce parking requirements in San Francisco's downtown (C-3) district.
"San Francisco's proposed ordinance included such restrictions as an absolute maximum of one parking place per every two dwelling units, prohibited sidewalk narrowings for passenger loading zones such as at hotels and did away with minimum off-street parking requirements in new buildings. It also prohibited the construction of above-ground parking structures, according to the planning department's website."
The mayor, in a letter tothe Board of Supervisors, stated that he agreed with many of the plan objectives, but felt that the ordinance should be a "more effective piece of planning policy". Other concerns about the economic impact on businesses of the ordiance were also raised.
