Located in the southwestern part of the City, the West Portal Avenue Neighborhood Commercial District stretches for three long blocks along West Portal Avenue from Ulloa Street to 15th Avenue and extends one block east along Ulloa Street from the Twin Peaks Tunnel entrance to Claremont Boulevard. West Portal Avenue provides a selection of goods and services for customers coming mainly from the surrounding west of Twin Peaks and Sunset single-family residential neighborhoods.
The West Portal Avenue District controls are designed to preserve the existing family-oriented, village character of West Portal Avenue. The building standards limit building heights to 26 feet and two stories and maintain the existing pattern of rear yards at the ground level and above. The height, bulk and design of new development, especially on large lots, should respect the small-scale character of the district and its surrounding residential neighborhoods. Lot mergers creating large lots are discouraged. Individual nonresidential uses require conditional use permits above 2,500 square feet and are restricted to 4,000 square feet as an absolute limit to conform with the existing small use sizes in the district.

How to measure height in San Francisco?
A point shall be taken at the centerline of the building or, where the building steps laterally in relation to a street that is the basis for height measurement, separate points shall be taken at the centerline of each building step. The upper point to which such measurement shall be taken shall be 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
West Portal is another San Francisco neighborhood with a small town feel, especially since it is surrounded by residential neighborhoods. It has also been called the “new” Noe Valley as less affluent families have been pushed out of that popular small town neighborhood.
West Portal is bordered on the north by Forest Hill, on the east by Sherwood Forest, on the south by Monterey Heights and Lakeside, and on the west by Inner Parkside.
Like Noe Valley, residents here tend to be somewhat affluent and less diverse, with many owning their own homes. Most housing here consists of brightly colored rows of single family homes. Some even have front and back lawns, giving it a slight retro suburban feel.
It has a big appeal for families thanks to its good schools, public playground, and a relatively large public library branch. It is also popular among students due to its position between SFSU and UCSF, as well as with retired folks.
