San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie has ordered the city’s Planning Department to revise decades-old rules that allowed officials to fine residents for parking in their own driveways. The directive, issued under Lurie’s PermitSF streamlining initiative, follows a high-profile case in which a Diamond Heights couple was cited $1,542, with the penalty set to rise by $250 for every additional day their car remained on their concrete pad. Ed and Judy Craine had parked in front of their home for 36 years before inspectors deemed the practice illegal, citing a regulation intended to prevent front yards from becoming parking lots. After a 1958 aerial photograph proved historic use of the space, the city waived the fine, but the incident underscored what Lurie called “burdensome regulations.” Under the mayor’s order, planners will draft an amendment—expected to be introduced after Labor Day—that explicitly permits homeowners to park up to two vehicles in their driveways provided sidewalks remain clear. The city will also forgive more than 100 outstanding complaint-based violations tied to the outdated rule, aiming to eliminate what officials described as uneven and confusing enforcement.
