Land Use and Transportation Committee Meeting
January 26, 2026

TL;DR

  • Parking up to two vehicles in your own driveway is now permitted citywide (committee recommendation; full Board vote next).
  • Massage businesses can no longer operate as accessory uses inside homes.
  • Maiden Lane activation rules updated — food, drinks, art installations, and events allowed; closure now ends at 8 p.m.
  • "Stephen Tennis Way" added to the 200 block of Eddy Street, honoring decades of Tenderloin community work.
  • Central Subway extension to North Beach and Fisherman's Wharf got a full hearing — no decision, but heavy public turnout.
