Reasonable Modification

Planning Code Section 305.1 provides a process for individuals with a disability to request a “reasonable modification” to their residential properties to eliminate any barriers to accessing their home. A request for “reasonable modification” may include changes that are not allowed under current Planning Code regulations. In either case, a request for an Administrative Reasonable Modification should be made using the following application packet. 

Pursuant to Planning Code Section 305.1, the Zoning Administrator shall consider and act on requests for reasonable modifications to Planning Code requirements that fit the criteria outlined in Section 305.1. To request reasonable modifications to non-Planning Code regulations, policies, practices, and procedures please contact the Planning counter per the information below. The first pages consist of instructions that should be read carefully before the application form is completed. Planning Department staff are available to advise you in the preparation of this application. 

For questions, you can call the Planning counter at 628.652.7300 or email pic@sfgov.org where planners are able to assist you.
