What are the local zoning regulations for 129 17th Ave ?

RH-2 (RESIDENTIAL- HOUSE, TWO FAMILY)

In RH-2 districts are allowed one-family and two-family units or homes, with the latter commonly consisting of two large flats, one occupied by the owner and the other available for rental.

The number of residential units in the RH-2 district is calculated based on the size of the lot, but it cannot exceed 2 dwelling units per lot.

Dwelling Unit: A room or suite of two or more rooms that is designed for, or is occupied by, one family doing its own cooking therein and having only one kitchen.

Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU): Also known as a Secondary Unit or In-Law Unit. It is accessory to at least one other Dwelling Unit on the same lot. A detached ADU should not share structural walls with the primary structure on the lot.

Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit (JADU): JADU is a secondary living space within a single-family home, limited to 500 square feet. It must have its own entrance, an efficiency kitchen, and can either share or have separate sanitation facilities. The property owner must live on-site unless a government agency, land trust, or housing organization owns the unit.

Structures in these districts are finely scaled, with building styles often more varied than in traditional single-family areas, though some streets and tracts remain fairly uniform. These areas may offer convenient access to shopping and transit, and while group housing or institutions may be present, nonresidential uses are generally limited.

The primary use of the Residential-House, Two Family zone is residential. The Permitted uses listed below show that additional land uses may be allowed in this zone.

Permitted Residential Use: ADU, intermediate length occupancy use, single room occupancy, student housing, homeless shelter, group housing, senior housing, and dwelling units.

Permitted Non-Residential Use: Agriculture, child care facility, passive outdoor recreation, hotel, and public facilities.

What neighborhood is 129 17th Ave located in?

Lake Street, San Francisco

"This is one of the best neighborhoods in the City, if the the Bay. It is safe, friendly and full of beautiful homes." People who live here love it here. While this neighborhood is further removed from the central core of the City it still has a tight-knit feel. The streets feel broader and wider with a large numbers of 2-unit buildings that are either condos or income properties; large apartment buildings, most with garages on the street level. As you get closer to the Presidio and to Land’s End you’ll find some large, if not stunning houses. Most structures here are stucco and older and you’ll find the occasional TIC units.
