FAIR HOUSING AMENDMENT - - Consideration of a proposal to amend the Part II, Chapter II, of the San Francisco Municipal Code ("Planning Code") by amending Sections 303 and 305 to require that, in considering applications involving dwellings in which "protected class members" are likely to reside, the Planning Commission in considering conditional uses or the Zoning Administrator or Board of Appeals, on appeal, in considering variances shall comply with Chapter 87 of the San Francisco Administrative Code which requires, among other things, that these bodies not base any decision regarding such dwellings on information which may be discriminatory to a protected class. A protected class is a group that could potentially be discriminated against on the basis of a number of factors as specified in State and federal anti-discrimination law. These factors include but are not limited to race, religion, color, ancestry, ethnicity, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, disability, source of income, place of birth, familial status or whether in a low, moderate or middle income category.
