City's can't give citizenship. Only the Federal Government can make you a citizen, through the process of naturalization, if you're not a natural born citizen (born to a parent with US Citizenship, born on US soil, etc.)
So, no.
EDIT: That link you have above is just a mass naturalization ceremony. All of the people that are receiving citizenship have already completed the requirements with the US Government in order to become citizens. The City of San Francisco isn't the one holding the ceremony, it's the US Government that's holding it. It just happens to be in San Francisco; it's basically a publicity/history making type event, not a free citizenship giveaway. So, the answer to your question is still no, unless you completed the naturalization steps before participating in the ceremony.
EDIT 2: San Francisco was chosen because a major federal court district is in the city, and thousands of immigrants have applied for naturalization within that court district; so instead of holding one at a time ceremonies, they want to generate publicity by holding a mass nautralization ceremony.

No, Only the U.S. government can grant citizenship by naturalization. Cities have no such authority.

When did this happen and where are your sources?
I would automatically believe it if you said gay marriages in S.F. were allowed, but not citizenship.
Proof?
