In NCT-Fillmore districts, housing development in new buildings is encouraged on floors above the ground story. Existing housing is protected by restrictions on demolitions and upper-story conversions.
The number of residential units in the NCT-Fillmore district is unlimited. Density is controlled by the allowed height and bulk, along with the required setbacks, exposure, and open space for each parcel.
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.
This district spans Fillmore Street from Bush to McAllister Streets, characterized by its dense mixed-use environment with residential units above ground-story commercial spaces. Designed to enhance the walkable, mixed-use character, controls encourage housing development above the ground story while protecting existing residential units. New commercial development is permitted on the ground and second stories, emphasizing neighborhood- and visitor-serving businesses. Formula Retail uses controls that align with citywide policy. Second stories may host certain retail, personal services, and medical/business/professional offices. Controls on parking, hotels, drive-up facilities, and automobile uses ensure district livability and promote continuous retail frontage.
The primary use of the Neighborhood Commercial Transit - Fillmore Streetzone is mixed-use. The Permitted uses listed below show that additional land uses may be allowed in this zone.
Permitted Residential Uses: ADU, intermediate length occupancy, single room occupancy, student housing, residential uses, dwelling units, senior housing, group housing, and homeless shelters.
Permitted Non-Residential Uses: Agriculture (neighborhood), arts activities, entertainment, general, institutional uses, and child care facility, community facility.
The height of a dwelling cannot exceed 130 feet. However, the height limit may be decreased or increased based on the slope of the lot.
Tower Base: The base is the lowest part of the building, extending vertically to a street wall height of up to 1.25 times the width of the widest abutting street or 50 feet, whichever is greater. There are no limitations on the length or diagonal dimensions of the base.
Lower Tower: For buildings under 160 feet in height, the bulk controls for the lower tower are the only applicable controls above the building base. These controls include a maximum length of 160 feet, a maximum floor size of 20,000 square feet, and a maximum diagonal dimension of 190 feet.
Building height is measured from the centerline of the building. If the building steps laterally along a street, separate measurements are taken from the centerline of each step. For flat roofs, height is measured to the highest point of the finished roof, while for pitched or stepped roofs, it is measured to the average height of the rise.
Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs), also called secondary units, in-law units, or cottages, are units added to existing and new residential buildings. Adding an ADU to your property can provide several benefits, such as providing housing for family members, simplifying your lifestyle, and increased financial flexibility.Learn more about building ADUs
Western Addition neighborhood has the only other Japantown in Northern California (the other being in San Jose). Plus, the super famous Fillmore Theatre is right here and we have our own farmer’s market every Saturday, with a live jazz band to accompany it!
The Western Addition, like many neighborhoods, is ill-defined. Some maps draw it as encompassing all of Alamo Square Park and a significant portion of what is now known as "NoPa," while others define it as the area north of Golden Gate, extending to Geary.
Western Addition intersects and/or overlaps with the Alamo Square neighborhood, NoPa, the Fillmore District, Lower Pacific Heights and the Lower Haight, depending on how you mentally define it.
Based on how many in the hood talk about the Western Addition, its borders appear to have shrunk over the past several years to encompass an area containing a number of lower-income housing units. At the same time, new neighborhood names such as NoPa have appeared, and the Alamo Square neighborhood began to mentally capture more and more of the common vernacular. This is no doubt due to the efforts of real estate agents.
Thank you for your interest.
