Section 1. Environmental and Land Use Findings.

ordinance comply with the California Environmental Quality Act (California Public Resources
Code Sections 21000 et seq.). Said determination is on file with the Clerk of the Board of
Supervisors in File No. 240932 and is incorporated herein by reference. The Board affirms
this determination.
(b) On December 5, 2024, the Planning Commission, in Resolution No. 21656,

with the City's General Plan and eight priority policies of Planning Code Section 101.1. The

Board adopts these findings as its own. A copy of said Resolution is on file with the Clerk of
the Board of Supervisors in File No. 240932, and is incorporated herein by reference.
(c) Pursuant to Planning Code Section 302, the Board finds that this Planning Code
amendment will serve the public necessity, convenience, and welfare for the reasons set forth
in Planning Commission Resolution No. 21656, and the Board incorporates such reasons
herein by reference. A copy of said resolution is on file with the Clerk of the Board of
Supervisors in File No. 240932.
Section 2. General Findings.
(a) Over the years, a number of craft breweries, wineries, and distilleries have
operated within the Bayview neighborhood. These businesses are part of a broader tradition
of local manufacturing. They are also an important part of the local food and beverage
ecosystem, producing products for sale on their premises, as well as in restaurants, bars,
retail markets, and other establishments.
(b) The Third Street Alcohol Restricted Use District currently prohibits the
establishment of new beer and wine bars.
(c) Bars serving beer and wine can add to the variety of nightlife offerings in a
neighborhood commercial district, filling vacant storefronts and providing additional vibrancy
to benefit a corridor.
(d) Enabling manufacturers within the neighborhood to launch new beer and wine bars
will create new opportunities for small businesses along Third Street, and could attract
additional alcohol manufacturers.
Section 3. Article 2 of the Planning Code is hereby amended by revising Section
249.62, to read as follows:
