To reduce health and safety risks posed by natural gas and to help prevent irreversible damage from climate change, Supervisor Mandelman has proposed an ordinance that would require all newly constructed buildings in San Francisco be all-electric. The ordinance would prohibit the use of natural gas in all new buildings that apply for permits after January 1, 2021. Gas will continue to be allowed in new buildings until January, 1, 2022 for cooking appliances in areas specifically designated for commercial kitchens. The ordinance does not apply to any existing buildings, including restaurants constructed in existing buildings.
The community forum will be presented simultaneously in Cantonese, Spanish, and English.
