SEC. 732. IRVING STREET NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL DISTRICT. The Irving Street Neighborhood Commercial District is located in the Outer Sunset neighborhood and includes properties fronting both sides of Irving Street between 19th and 27th Avenues. The District provides a selection of convenience goods and services for the residents of the Outer Sunset District. There are a high concentration of restaurants, drawing customers from throughout the City and the region. There are also a significant number of professional, realty, and business offices as well as financial institutions. The Irving Street Neighborhood Commercial District controls are designed to promote development that is consistent with its existing land use patterns and to maintain a harmony of uses that support the District’s vitality. The building standards allow small- to mid-scale buildings and uses, protecting rear yards above the ground story and at residential levels. In new development, most commercial uses are permitted at the first two stories, although certain limitations apply to uses at the second story. Special controls are necessary to preserve the equilibrium of neighborhood-serving convenience and comparison shopping businesses and to protect adjacent residential livability. These controls are designed to encourage the street’s active retail frontage, and local fabrication and production of goods. Housing development in new buildings is encouraged above the ground story. Accessory Dwelling Units are permitted.

The Taraval Street Neighborhood Commercial District is located in the Outer Sunset neighborhood and includes the properties fronting both sides of Taraval Street from 19th through 36th Avenues. The District provides a selection of convenience goods and services for the residents of the Outer Sunset District. There are a high concentration of restaurants, drawing customers from throughout the City and the region. There are also a significant number of professional, realty, and business offices as well as financial institutions. The Taraval Street Neighborhood Commercial District controls are designed to promote development that is consistent with its existing land use patterns and to maintain a harmony of uses that support the District’s vitality. The building standards allow small- to mid-scale buildings and uses, protecting rear yards above the ground story and at residential levels. In new development, most commercial uses are permitted at the first two stories, although certain limitations apply to uses at the second story. Special controls are necessary to preserve the equilibrium of neighborhood-serving convenience and comparison shopping businesses and to protect adjacent residential livability. These controls are designed to encourage the street’s active retail frontage, and local fabrication and production of goods. Housing development in new buildings is encouraged above the ground story. Accessory Dwelling Units are permitted.
