San Francisco’s Planning Commission voted to ponder enacting “interim controls” for new market rate housing, office and retail developments in the Mission. Of the nearly 1,400 units in the near-term development pipeline for the Mission, only 335 units would be impacted. The plan is to provide S.F. “time to finalize a cohesive strategy to provide more affordable housing and economic stability” and to wrap up its analysis of affordable housing needs, reports SocketSite. The controls would be in place for six months and temporarily halt the permitting of new developments with five or more units that hadn’t already filed a planning or environmental application, or for a building permit, before Dec. 31, 2014. The heated moratorium debate has had no shortage of coverage as of late. [SS]
