San Francisco supes give initial approval for plan to redevelop mall parking into housing

Atop 30 acres of parking at San Francisco’s Stonestown Galleria mall may soon come 3,500 new homes, acres of open space and other community services.

In a first reading of legislation by San Francisco Mayor London Breed and Supervisor Myrna Melgar, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors on Tuesday gave initial approval to a plan to redevelop acres of parking at the mall into housing, senior services, child care and park space, according to a statement from the mayor’s office.
