The Department
The San Francisco Planning Department (CPC) plays a central role in guiding the growth and development in our City. The Department works with other City agencies and the community to help achieve great planning for a great city.   

The Community Equity Division

The Planning Department prioritizes racial and social equity tasks across all divisions coordinated through the new Community Equity Division. The purpose of this Division is to reflect upon our historical and current inequities and revise our policies and implementation strategies to reverse inequities for our American Indian, Black communities, other communities of color, and other historically marginalized communities. The Division includes three units: Equity Plan Team, Community Engagement, and Policies and Strategies. The Community Equity Divisions works closely with community leaders and the Office of Racial Equity. This is a temporary (5-10 year) division to support the transition of the Department towards a strong equity framework. The Division is a collaborative, team-oriented environment with opportunities to work both individually and on project teams on a wide variety of issues to advance racial and social equity internally and externally. We collaborate with staff of other City agencies and the general public. Community outreach and engagement is a critical part of our work.

Our Mission
The mission of the San Francisco Planning Department, under the direction of the Planning Commission, shapes the future of San Francisco and the region by: generating an extraordinary vision for the General Plan and in neighborhood plans; fostering exemplary design through planning controls; improving our surroundings through environmental analysis; preserving our unique heritage; encouraging a broad range of housing and a diverse job base; and enforcing the Planning Code. 

Our Racial and Social Equity Vision 

The Department’s racial and social equity vision is:  

  • We envision inclusive neighborhoods that provide all with the opportunity to lead fulfilling, meaningful, and healthy lives. We envision a city where public life and public spaces reflect the past, present and future of San Franciscans. We envision a city where a person’s race does not determine their lives’ prospects and success.  
  • We envision an inclusive Planning Department and Commissions that represent and engage the communities we serve. We envision a Department that proactively infuses racial and social equity in both internal operations and external Planning work. Together, we are reimagining what the Planning field is and can be – inclusive, diverse and one that centers racial and social equity both as a practice and as an indicator of success.  
  • In order to achieve this broader city vision, we must do our part and address racial and social equity within the Planning Department’s policies and practices.
