RM-3 districts may include some smaller buildings compared to RM-1 and RM-2 districts, but they are primarily made up of apartment complexes with six, eight, ten, or more units.

The number of residential units in the RM-3 district is calculated based on the size of the lot, but it cannot exceed 3 dwelling units per lot.

Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit (JADU): JADU is a secondary living space within a single-family home, limited to 500 square feet. It must have its own entrance, an efficiency kitchen, and can either share or have separate sanitation facilities. The property owner must live on-site unless a government agency, land trust, or housing organization owns the unit.

Most of these districts are located near downtown and have been developed in this manner for quite some time.

What is the maximum height for 65 Western Shore Ln ?

50-X

The height of a dwelling cannot exceed 50 feet.

To promote taller ground floor ceilings for commercial and active uses, improve light and air in ground-level spaces, and allow ground floor residential units to be slightly elevated for privacy and usable stoops, buildings located along major streets in NCT and designated areas of NC-1, NC-2, and NC-3 districts may exceed the height limit by up to 5 feet, provided they include either higher ceilings for non-residential spaces or walk-up residential units raised above sidewalk level.

Building height is measured from the centerline of the building. If the building steps laterally along a street, separate measurements are taken from the centerline of each step. For flat roofs, height is measured to the highest point of the finished roof, while for pitched or stepped roofs, it is measured to the average height of the rise.

What neighborhood is 65 Western Shore Ln located in?

Western Addition, San Francisco

Western Addition neighborhood has the only other Japantown in Northern California (the other being in San Jose). Plus, the super famous Fillmore Theatre is right here and we have our own farmer’s market every Saturday, with a live jazz band to accompany it!

The Western Addition, like many neighborhoods, is ill-defined. Some maps draw it as encompassing all of Alamo Square Park and a significant portion of what is now known as "NoPa," while others define it as the area north of Golden Gate, extending to Geary.

Western Addition intersects and/or overlaps with the Alamo Square neighborhood, NoPa, the Fillmore District, Lower Pacific Heights and the Lower Haight, depending on how you mentally define it.

Based on how many in the hood talk about the Western Addition, its borders appear to have shrunk over the past several years to encompass an area containing a number of lower-income housing units. At the same time, new neighborhood names such as NoPa have appeared, and the Alamo Square neighborhood began to mentally capture more and more of the common vernacular. This is no doubt due to the efforts of real estate agents.
