IMPORTANT NOTICE
FAMILY ZONING PLAN UPDATE
In recent weeks, the Land Use and Transportation Committee of the Board of Supervisors and the Planning Commission have met to review updates and amendments to the proposed Family Zoning plan.
Designed to expand housing affordability and create the capacity to build more than 36,000 homes on San Francisco’s north and west sides, the plan allows for increases of two-, four- or more stories in height near transit, shopping and on major streets. Balboa Terrace could be affected – four-story buildings on any interior lot and six-story buildings on any corner or lot exceeding 8,000 square feet.
As the deadline for adoption of the Family Zoning plan nears, HOA members are encouraged to subscribe to updates from the Planning Department and the Board of Supervisors for the latest information.
The City must complete rezoning to comply with the regional housing need allocation (RHNA) by Jan. 31, 2026.

CC&Rs/Bylaws Revisions
The Balboa Terrace Homes Association must update its Governing documents. An association-wide vote to approve the revised Governing Documents will be scheduled in January 2026.
Why Must BTHA Adopt Revised Governing Documents?
Our governing documents have remained largely unchanged since their inception in 1920, making them outdated and noncompliant with both state and federal laws. Additionally, these original documents did not anticipate the major shifts in state and local zoning laws that now threaten to fundamentally alter the character of Balboa Terrace. To ensure our community remains a historic single-family home enclave, it is essential to modernize our governing framework to protect against unwanted development pressures. Finally, California has adopted a robust set of laws regulating HOAs, primarily found in the Davis-Stirling Act. We need to update our governing documents to be compliant with that law and others that apply to HOAs.
A comprehensive summary of governing document changes and the rationale behind many of the updates is available in the summary below.
