Moss on a shaded Outer Mission slope should be treated rather than scraped, since scraping takes the granules with it. San Francisco County is no different.
Synthetic composite has become a credible option in Outer Mission where the look of slate or shake is wanted without the weight or the fire risk. In practice, tPO and modified bitumen both work on Outer Mission low-slope roofs, and the choice usually comes down to detailing rather than the sheet. As a rule, concrete tile suits Outer Mission buildings designed for the weight; laying it on framing that was not is a structural question earliest.
