NCT-2 (NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL TRANSIT-2)

The NCT-2 Districts are mixed use districts that support neighborhood-serving commercial uses on lower floors and housing above.

NCT-2 Districts are transit-oriented mixed-use neighborhoods with a focus on small-scale commercial activities near transit services. These districts support neighborhood-serving commercial uses on lower floors and housing above, emphasizing pedestrian-friendly and transit-centric living. The linear form along transit-priority corridors or concentric layouts around transit stations promotes efficient access to major transit services. Housing density is regulated by building standards, including height, bulk, setbacks, and lot coverage, with restrictions on access to off-street parking to enhance pedestrian orientation. Residential parking is generally limited, and commercial establishments are discouraged from excessive off-street parking. NCT-2 Districts provide convenience goods and services to local neighborhoods, featuring varied comparison shopping options, specialty retail, restaurants, and neighborhood-serving offices. The controls facilitate mixed-use buildings with ground and second-story commercial development, emphasizing continuous retail frontage while protecting existing residential units from demolition and upper-story conversions.

What neighborhood is 2340 San Jose Ave located in?

Outer Mission, San Francisco

While the name ‘Outer Mission’ suggests that it borders the Mission neighborhood, these two spots are actually divided by Bernal Heights. The Outer Mission and Excelsior neighborhoods are often grouped together because they sit next to each other on the southern border of San Francisco.

While it’s not known for its flashy homes, high-end shopping, or fine dining, it offers plenty for children (although the schools are not known as the best in the city), both neighborhoods curve around the city’s second largest park, and the weather here is some of the best San Francisco has to offer.

It is one of the most ethnically diverse neighborhoods in San Francisco, and is bursting with families. As in the Mission, colorful murals can be found around the neighborhoods. Casual Mexican and Asian food spots dot the streets, along with diners, corner stores, and ethnic markets.
