Zoning: RH-3 (RESIDENTIAL- HOUSE, THREE FAMILY)
Three-Family District. These Districts have many similarities to RH-2 Districts, but structures with three units are common in addition to one-family and two-family houses. The predominant form is large flats rather than apartments, with lots 25 feet wide, a fine or moderate scale and separate entrances for each unit. Building styles tend to be varied but complementary to one another. Outdoor space is available at ground level, and also on decks and balconies for individual units. Nonresidential uses are more common in these areas than in RH-2 Districts. Read more about Residential Zoning Regulations in San Francisco here ...
