Development often occurs in sizable tracts, exhibiting similarities in building styles, and narrow streets following hill contours. Private covenants in some cases guide development and contribute to maintaining the character of street areas.

No portion of a dwelling can exceed a height of 40 feet, except that the permitted height has to be reduced to 35 feet where the average ground elevation at the rear line of the lot is lower by 20 or more feet than at the front line. The height is measured by taking a point at the centerline of the building or, where the building steps in relation to a street that is the basis for height measurement. Separate points need to be taken at the centerline of each building step. The upper point is the highest point on the finished roof in the case of a flat roof, and the average height of the rise in the case of a pitched or stepped roof.
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 ADU in this article
Forest Knolls is a residential neighborhood in the Western part of San Francisco. It lies at the foot of the steep, forested Mount Sutro, most of which is owned by UCSF. Because of the trees and steep hills with hillside staircases, it has been described as “Marin-like.” This neighborhood is conveniently close to the charming West Portal shopping street, and surrounded by hills: Mount Sutro and Mt Davidson for hiking in the forest; Twin Peaks and Tank Hill for views.
