The One-Family (Detached Dwellings) Districts feature lots with greater width and area than other city parts, hosting single-family houses with side yards. 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.
Permitted Residential Uses: ADU, dwelling units (one unit per lot), intermediate length occupancy, single room occupancy, student housing and senior housing.
Permitted Non-Residential Uses: Agriculture (neighborhood), passive outdoor recreation, child care facility, public facilities, residential care facility and wireless telecommunications services facility.
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
Nested into a southwest slope of Mount Davidson in District Four is Sherwood Forest. Never heard of it? That's because at just two by three streets, it's San Francisco's smallest neighborhood. Smushed between St. Francis Wood and Miraloma Park, Sherwood Forest starts at the cusp of Yerba Buena and Casitas avenues and covers all of Lansdale Avenue and Dalewood Way, which faces the dense vegetation of Mount Davidson Park.
In total, there are about 200 homes in the neighborhood. The only street that starts and ends in Sherwood Forest is Robinhood Drive, a street that's so hidden and difficult to find that the late San Francisco Chronicle columnist Herb Caen once penned an article about getting lost trying to find it on his way to Thanksgiving dinner.
The neighborhood's tiny and quiet, with a '50s vibe that lends itself easily to sepia-toned Instagram filters.
