What this means
The committee voted to ask state leaders to back a bill that would give renters 14 days instead of three to pay or move before eviction notices take effect. It approved local planning changes for the Balboa Reservoir and accepted public street and sidewalk work connected to an affordable housing project on Geneva Avenue. The committee reorganized rules about temporary street uses and postponed final action to a later meeting. It also imposed an 18‑month temporary rule requiring extra City review before new convenience stores can open in parts of the Tenderloin and South of Market.
