SEC. 746. LELAND AVENUE NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL DISTRICT. The Leland Avenue Neighborhood Commercial District is located on Leland Avenue between Bayshore Boulevard and Cora Street in southeast San Francisco. Leland Avenue abuts the Schlage Lock Company Visitacion Valley factory site, which closed in 1999 and is identified in the Visitacion Valley/Schlage Lock Plan. Leland Avenue is located within Zone 2 of the Visitacion Valley/Schlage Lock Special Use District. The Visitacion Valley Greenway, a series of six parks that are part of the City’s Crosstown Trail, ends at Leland Avenue. The District aims to cultivate a vibrant, pedestrian-friendly commercial corridor that serves the diverse needs of the local community while preserving the unique character and charm of the neighborhood. The District is in close proximity to the Caltrain Bayshore Station and light rail. Buildings in the District typically range in height from two to four stories with occasional one-story commercial buildings. Future commercial growth is directed to the ground story to promote continuous and active retail frontage. Neighborhood-serving businesses are strongly encouraged. Table 746.

NCT-1 – NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL TRANSIT CLUSTER DISTRICT. NCT-1 Districts are intended to serve as local neighborhood shopping districts, providing convenience retail goods and services for the immediately surrounding neighborhoods primarily during daytime hours. NCT-1 Districts are located near major transit services. They are small mixed-use clusters, generally surrounded by residential districts, with small-scale neighborhood-serving commercial uses on lower floors and housing above. Housing density is limited not by lot area, but by the regulations on the built envelope of buildings, including height, bulk, setbacks, and lot coverage, and standards for residential uses, including open space and exposure, and urban design guidelines. There are prohibitions on access (i.e. driveways, garage entries) to off-street parking and loading on critical stretches of commercial and transit street frontages to preserve and enhance the pedestrian-oriented character and transit function. Residential parking is not required and generally limited. Commercial establishments are discouraged from building excessive accessory off-street parking in order to preserve the pedestrian-oriented character of the district and prevent attracting auto traffic. NCT-1 Districts are generally characterized by their location in residential neighborhoods. The commercial intensity of these districts varies. Many of these districts have the lowest intensity of commercial development in the City, generally consisting of small clusters with three or more commercial establishments, commonly grouped around a corner; and in some cases short linear commercial strips with low-scale, interspersed mixed-use (residential-commercial) development. Building controls for the NCT-1 District promote low-intensity development which is compatible with the existing scale and character of these neighborhood areas. Commercial development is limited to one story, with certain exceptions. Rear yard requirements at all levels preserve existing backyard space. NCT-1 commercial use provisions encourage the full range of neighborhood-serving convenience retail sales and services at the First Story provided that the Use Size generally is limited to 3,000 square feet. However, commercial uses and features which could impact residential livability are prohibited, such as auto uses, general advertising signs, drive-up facilities, hotels, and late-night activity.
