San Francisco's Board of Supervisors has passed a temporary ban on new package delivery facilities in an effort to shake down Amazon.
On Tuesday, the board voted unanimously to impose "interim zoning controls" for 18 months on parcel delivery services. Those interim controls will require new package delivery services to go through the city's conditional use authorization process—a long, expensive, and fraught prospect. The San Francisco Chronicle and San Francisco Standard both describe the ordinance as an 18-month "moratorium."
