What are the local zoning regulations for 777 Minna St ?

RED-MX (RESIDENTIAL ENCLAVE-MIXED)

Residential Enclave-Mixed Districts (RED-MX) encompass some of the clusters of low-scale, medium density, predominantly residential neighborhoods located along the narrow side streets of the Western SoMa area. Many parcels in these residential enclaves are underdeveloped and represent opportunities for new residential and low-intensity commercial uses. While residential uses are encouraged throughout these districts, group housing is limited, and student housing and single-room-occupancy units are prohibited. Small-scale retail, restaurants, arts activities, and other commercial uses are principally permitted to create the potential for more active, mixed use alleys. Some automobile-related and production, distribution, and repair uses are also permitted with limitations.

Focusing on underdeveloped parcels, the districts encourage new residential and low-intensity commercial uses. While favoring residential development, certain restrictions limit group housing, student housing, and single-room-occupancy units. The districts also permit small-scale retail, restaurants, arts activities, and other commercial uses to foster more vibrant, mixed-use alleys, with controlled allowances for some automobile-related and production, distribution, and repair uses.

Permitted Residential Uses: ADU and dwelling units.

Permitted No-Residential Uses: Open Air Sales, outdoor activity area, agricultural uses, automotive repair, arts activities, open recreation area, light manufacturing, institutional uses, retail sales and service uses, non-retail sales and service.

What neighborhood is 777 Minna St located in?

South of Market, San Francisco

“SoMa” refers most specifically to the section closest to the Mission, with the most restaurants and nightlife; “Yerba Buena” is in the middle, and is known for its density of museums and shopping; and "South Beach" is on the side next to the Bay (although there’s no beach to speak of) and is full of high-rises and not too much else. South Beach is quickly becoming its own neighborhood, but for now it falls under the general SoMa umbrella.

This area was once zoned primarily for commercial use and that history is still present in the lofts and apartments fashioned from converted warehouses and office space. On smaller side streets you’ll occasionally find a Victorian or a modern condominium. Brick walk-ups are common, as are high-rises; these tend to be more common the further west you go.
