What are the local zoning regulations for 555 Beale St ?

SB-DTR (SOUTH BEACH DOWNTOWN RESIDENTIAL)

The SB-DTR District is adjacent to the southern edge of the downtown, generally bounded by the Bay Bridge, Bryant Street, the Embarcadero, and 2nd Street, and is primarily comprised of the former South Beach Redevelopment Area. High-density residential uses and supporting commercial and institutional uses are allowed and encouraged within the limits set by height, bulk, and tower spacing controls. Individual townhouse dwelling units with ground floor entries directly to the street are generally required on streets. While lot coverage is limited for all levels with residential uses that do not face onto streets or alleys, traditional rear yard open spaces are not required. Specific height, bulk, and setback controls establish appropriate heights for both towers and mid-rise podium development and ensure adequate spacing between towers in order to establish a neighborhood scale and ensure light and air to streets and open spaces. Setbacks are required where necessary to provide transition space for ground floor residential uses and to ensure sunlight access to streets and open spaces. Off-street parking must be located below grade.

The main goal of the South Beach Downtown Residential Mixed Use District (SB-DTR) is to facilitate high-density residential development along the southern edge of downtown San Francisco, focusing on the former South Beach Redevelopment Area. The district encourages a mix of residential, commercial, and institutional uses while adhering to height, bulk, and spacing controls to establish a neighborhood-scale with adequate amenities and open spaces.
