San Francisco County Municipal Code § 1396.5 Suspension

OF REPLACEMENT UNITS FOR EXPEDITED CONVERSION UNITS. (a) Within twelve months after issuing tentative or tentative parcel map approval for the last conversion under Section 1396.4 or December 29, 2023, whichever is earlier, the Department shall publish a report stating the total number of units converted under the Expedited Conversion program and every twelve months thereafter until the Expedited Conversion program is completed. (b) No later than April 15 of each year until the termination of the suspension period, the Mayor's Office of Housing shall publish a report stating the total number of permanently affordable rental housing produced in San Francisco and the "Conversion Replacement Units" produced in the previous calendar year and a cumulative total of such housing produced in preceding years during the tracking period. For purposes of this Subsection, the Mayor's Office of Housing shall have the authority to determine what type and form of housing constitutes permanently affordable rental housing that has been produced. (c) Except as otherwise authorized under Section 1396.6 or Section 1396.7, the Department shall not accept an application for the

conversion of residential units under Section 1396 nor conduct a lottery under this Article prior to January 1, 2024. Thereafter, the lottery shall resume upon the earlier of the following: (1) the first February following the Mayor’s Office of Housing and Community Development report pursuant to subsection (b) showing that the total number of Conversion Replacement Units produced in the City of San Francisco exceeded the total number of units converted as identified in the Department’s report prepared pursuant to Subsection (a); or (2) completion of the “Maximum Suspension Period” as defined below. (d) "Conversion Replacement Units" in any year shall be determined by subtracting 300 from the total number of permanently affordable rental units that the City produced in that year starting on January 1, 2014. (e) The "Maximum Suspension Period" shall be the number of years calculated by dividing the total number of units approved for conversion under Section 1396.4(b)(1)-(7) (the Expedited Conversion program) divided by 200 and rounded to the nearest whole number with the year 2014 as the starting point. For example, if 2400 units have been converted under Section 1396.4(b)(1)-(7), then the maximum suspension period would be 12 years and expire on December 31, 2025.
