In the UK it means 'Special VFR' and allows a pilot under VFR and in VMC conditions to 
be guided to an airfield which is inside a control zone.  You see it quite a lot in 
the UK where we have lots of airfields inside the control zones of much larger 
airports.  IIRC Manchester Woodford is a good example - right next to Manchester 
International.  In the context of KSFO I would assume it means no SVFR available 
direct to KSFO or any closeby fields in their CTR.

All the best,

Matt.

PS: I hope that's right. I passed Air Law only last Sunday!
