These Districts are intended to recognize, protect, conserve, and enhance areas characterized by a mixture of houses and apartment buildings, covering a range of densities and building forms. RTO and RTO-M Districts are composed of multi-family moderate-density areas, primarily areas formerly designated RM and RH-3, and are well served within short walking distance, generally less than one-quarter mile, of transit and neighborhood commercial areas. Transit available on nearby streets is frequent and/or provides multiple lines serving different parts of the City or region. Limited small-scale neighborhood-oriented retail and services is common and permitted throughout the neighborhood on Corner Lots only to provide goods and services to residents within walking distance, but the districts are otherwise residential.
The primary purpose of these districts is to preserve and enhance areas with a mix of houses and apartments, offering various densities and building forms. These multi-family moderate-density regions are strategically located within a short walk of transit and neighborhood commercial areas. Small-scale, neighborhood-oriented retail and services are limited to Corner Lots to serve residents within walking distance. The focus remains residential, allowing only retail compatible with housing, with restricted hours of operation and no off-street parking for these local businesses.
Permitted Residential Uses: ADU and JADU, intermediate length occupancy use, single room occupancy, dwelling units, student housing, senior housing, residential density, group housing and homeless.
Permitted Non-Residential uses: Limited corner commercial uses, agriculture, neighborhood, passive outdoor recreation, child care facility, public facilities, residential care facility, and mobile food facility.
Height of a dwelling cannot exceed a 50 feet.
In order to encourage generous ground floor ceiling heights for commercial and other active uses, encourage additional light and air into ground floor spaces, allow for walk-up ground floor residential uses to be raised slightly from sidewalk level for privacy and usability of front stoops, and create better building frontage on the public street, up to an additional 5' of height is allowed along major streets in NCT and specific areas in NC-1, NC-2 and NC-3 districts, for buildings that feature either higher ground floor ceilings for non-residential uses or ground floor residential units (that have direct walk-up access from the sidewalk) raised up from sidewalk level.
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
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.
