What are the local zoning regulations for 365 Seneca Ave ?

NCT-1 (NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL TRANSIT 1)

NC-1 Districts are intended to serve as local neighborhood shopping districts, providing convenience retail goods and services for the immediately surrounding neighborhoods primarily during daytime hours.

The NC-1 Districts, localized neighborhood shopping hubs, offer convenience goods and services for nearby residents during daytime hours. Situated near major transit services, NCT-1 Districts feature small-scale mixed-use clusters with neighborhood-serving commercial activities on lower floors and housing above. Building controls, regulating factors like height and setbacks, preserve the district's pedestrian-oriented character. Restricted parking access and limited residential parking discourage auto traffic. These districts, often in residential areas, prioritize low-intensity, one-story commercial development, protecting existing residential units from conversions and demolitions.

Permitted Residential Uses: ADU, intermediate length occupancy, single room occupancy, student housing, dwelling units, senior housing, and group housing and homeless shelters.

Permitted Non-Residential Uses: Walk-up facility agriculture (neighborhood), arts activities, general entertainment, child care facility, community facility, public facilities, residential care facility, social service or philanthropic facility, gym, liquor store, massage establishment, restaurant, health services, instructional services, limited financial services, personal services, retail professional services and trade shop.

What neighborhood is 365 Seneca Ave located in?

Mission Terrace, San Francisco

Mission Terrace is one of the southernmost neighborhoods in San Francisco, with its eastern border lining up along the expansive Excelsior district and to its south, the Outer Mission.

Mission Terrace was one of San Francisco’s early planned residential neighborhoods. Some believe it was the first development of affordable housing for working class people. The advertisement at left is from Baldwin & Howell’s real estate brochure circa 1911. It declares that Mission Terrace will feature “the most beautiful avenue in San Francisco devoted to inexpensive homes.”

Its natural topography makes it one of the sunniest areas in San Francisco. And while it is at the furthest stretch of land in the city, its location allows residents to travel to every corner of the city with ease, thanks to the Balboa Park Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) station in its southwestern corner, the Glen Park BART station just to the north, and its entire western border lined by I-280

Balboa Park itself is a sprawling outdoor green space tucked into its western border. This large park includes an indoor pool, four baseball fields, a soccer stadium, tennis courts, a picnic area, and boasts a sand playground with climbing structures.
