San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie announced a legislative package aimed at overhauling decades-old zoning laws on Tuesday, the latest effort in his plan to increase the city's housing supply and make housing more affordable for families.

"Families deserve to live in San Francisco—not just visit, not just commute, but live here, grow here, and thrive. They deserve a city that loves them back," Lurie said at a press conference outside an apartment building run by Mercy Housing at 1100 Ocean Ave. on Tuesday morning.

The proposed plan, if approved, would include updated height and density rules to allow for larger multifamily homes in residential areas around the city and increased housing density along commercial corridors and large lots. It would also enact new policies to allow for the creation of more housing near public transit stops and lines, including changes to city parking and density standards, and maintain tenant protections and high-quality design standards.
