When making any decision regarding the control or approval of subdivision development within the City and County of San Francisco which includes "dwellings" as defined in Chapter 87 of the San Francisco Administrative Code, the applicable City department or official shall comply with that Chapter which requires, among other things, that the applicable City department or official not base any decision regarding the development of "dwellings" in which "protected class" members are likely to reside on information which may be discriminatory to any member of a "protected class" (as all such terms are defined in Chapter 87 of the San Francisco Administrative Code).
