I mean actually read it. It basically says shadows don’t really matter much and you barely need to worry about them and then goes on to spell out in very clear detail what happens when they do matter so there don’t have to be moronic lawsuits every time someone wants to build a low rise apartment building.

- jfoutz 3y agoI'm not sure I understand - https://sfplanning.org/resource/shadow-analysis-procedures-and-scope-requirements https://sfplanning.org/resource/shadow-analysis-procedures-a... 40 feet, times of year, 20% shadow. make a model. At the surface level, they look similar to me. NYC has been doing that for a whole lot longer, I wouldn't doubt their planning department has a more refined process. But it's not like SF is alone in this kind of regulation.
- bobthepanda 3y agoMy understanding is that NYC * has smaller time requirements for sunlight; the planning requirements state that an area should have 4-6 hours of sunlight a day, whereas SF looks at if it gets any worse over any time period * NYC only protects specific kinds of park uses for sunlight, so like sunlight is not material for a basketball court, for example.
