SEC. 210. DESCRIPTION AND PURPOSE OF COMMERCIAL, INDUSTRIAL, AND PRODUCTION/DISTRIBUTION/REPAIR DISTRICTS. The following statements of description and purpose outline the main functions of the C (Commercial), M (Industrial), and PDR (Production, Distribution, and Repair) Districts in the Zoning Plan for San Francisco, supplementing the statements of purpose contained in Section 101 of this Code. The emphasis, in the case of these districts, is upon the allocation of

adequate areas in proper locations for the carrying on of business and industry to serve City, regional and national needs and provide San Francisco with a sound and growing economic base. (Amended by Ord. 136-68, App. 5/29/68; Ord. 69-87, App. 3/13/87; Ord. 115-90, App. 4/6/90; Ord. 99-08, File No. 080339, App. 6/11/2008; Ord. 298-08, File No. 081153, App. 12/19/2008) SEC. 210.1. C-2 DISTRICTS: COMMUNITY BUSINESS. These districts serve several functions. They provide convenience goods and services to Residential areas of the City, both in outlying sections and in closer-in, more densely built communities. In addition, some C-2 Districts provide comparison shopping goods and services on a general or specialized basis to a Citywide or a regional market area, complementing the main area for such types of trade in downtown San Francisco. The extent of these districts varies from smaller clusters of stores to larger concentrated areas, including both shopping centers and strip developments along major thoroughfares, and in each case the character and intensity of commercial development are intended to be consistent with the character of other uses in the adjacent areas. The emphasis in C-2 Districts is upon compatible retail uses, but the district also allows a wider variety of goods and services to suit the longer-term needs of customers and a greater latitude is given for the provision of automobile-oriented uses.
