Ministerial Projects

The State has created a number of ministerial programs for housing development projects. Ministerial projects do not require the approval through a public hearing, review under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), or Neighborhood Notification. These projects will not need to submit a Planning Department Project Application (PRJ) and instead will only submit the materials listed below. Please see Planning Director Bulletin 5 and Planning Director Bulletin 9 for more information.

These projects do not need to submit the traditional Planning Department Project Application (PRJ) and instead will only submit the materials listed below:

• SB423 
• AB2011 
• SB9 
• State ADUs 
• AB2162 
• SB4 

Please visit the corresponding webpage for each ministerial project type to understand what documents must be submitted.

The following documents often are required to accompany a ministerial submission. Please review the documents below to determine whether your project requires the submission of these documents:

• SB330 Preliminary Application, Notice of Intent
• Anti-discrimination Housing Affidavit
• Transportation Demand Management Supplemental Application
• First Source Hiring Affidavit
• Unit Replacement and Relocation Affidavit
• Individually Requested State Density Bonus Supplemental Application
• Inclusionary Housing Affidavit
• Prevailing Wage and Apprenticeship Standards Affidavit
• Maher Enrollment
• Article 38

Please review the appropriate application form to determine all of the required materials for submission.

Applicants may submit these materials to the Planning Department either by:

• Uploading the documents to the Public Portal (ACA)
• Emailing the documents to CPC.Intake@sfgov.org
