Posted on June 10, 2025 by Jim Wollak

We know housing and zoning policies are a top issue for you.

Our neighbors at the West of Twin Peaks Central Council want to let you know there are two important opportunities for you to learn more and provide your perspective on San Francisco’s proposed rezoning plan.

· Land Use Committee at City Hall: Monday, June 16, 1:30 pm

· West of Twin Peaks Neighborhood Meeting with Planning at Forest Hill Clubhouse: Monday, June 23rd, 7:30 pm. RSVP Required as space is limited. RSVP at bit.ly/WOTPrsvp

We hope you will attend both, or as Supervisor Melgar has offered, share your written comments via email to john.carroll@sfgov.org and bos@sfgov.org.
