San Francisco Committees Review Landmark Designations and Small Business Budget Priorities Today
City Hall Legislative Sessions Focus on Preservation and Economic Support
San Francisco’s legislative schedule for Monday, February 23, 2026, is marked by a series of committee meetings aimed at preserving the city’s architectural history and setting the fiscal path for small business support. Several high-profile landmark designations and budget discussions are set to take place at City Hall, highlighting the government's focus on neighborhood identity and economic resilience.
Historic Landmarks and Street Naming
The Land Use and Transportation Committee is scheduled to meet at 1:30 PM in Room 250. A significant portion of the agenda is dedicated to the preservation of the city's built environment. Supervisors will consider resolutions to initiate landmark designations for three notable residential properties: the Alexander Adams Home at 1450 Masonic Avenue, the Hinkel House at 740 Castro Street, and the Born Home at 99 Divisadero Street. These designations under Article 10 of the Planning Code are intended to protect the unique architectural and historical character of these neighborhoods.
Additionally, the committee will discuss a commemorative street name designation. The proposal seeks to add the name “Carmen Johnson Way” to the 1100 block of Pierce Street, located between Turk and Eddy Streets. This honorary designation recognizes Carmen Johnson’s lifetime of service to families in the Fillmore neighborhood. The committee will also review plans for “Downtown Activation Locations,” which involve modifications to several alleys, including Jessie, Minna, and Natoma, to foster more vibrant public spaces near Mission Street.
Small Business Fiscal Planning
Later in the day, the Small Business Commission will convene at 4:30 PM in Room 400. A primary focus of this session is the discussion and potential action on the Fiscal Year 2026-2027 budget priorities for the Office of Small Business. Commissioners will evaluate how to allocate resources to support local entrepreneurs amidst shifting economic conditions. The meeting will also include the review of new applications for the Legacy Business Registry, a program designed to provide grants and technical assistance to long-standing businesses that have operated in the city for 30 years or more.
Administrative Appointments and Transportation
Earlier in the morning, the Rules Committee met at 10:00 AM to consider the mayoral appointment of Alison Warner to the Redevelopment Successor Agency Oversight Board. This board, also known as the Commission on Community Investment and Infrastructure, is responsible for managing the wind-down of former redevelopment projects and ensuring the completion of major urban developments. Meanwhile, the Transportation Authority’s Personnel Committee held a session at 11:30 AM to address administrative and staffing matters within the agency.
