SEC. 756. GLEN PARK NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL TRANSIT DISTRICT. The Glen Park Neighborhood Commercial Transit (NCT) District lies primarily along Diamond Street from Chenery Street to Monterey Boulevard and Chenery Street from Thor Avenue to Castro Street and includes adjacent portions of Wilder Street, Bosworth Street, Joost Avenue and Monterey Boulevard. The district is mixed use, with predominantly two and three story buildings with neighborhood-serving commercial and retail uses on lower floors and housing or offices above. The area is well-served by both local and regional transit including the Glen Park BART station, Muni bus lines, and a Muni light rail stop (J-Church). The Glen Park NCT is designed to protect and enhance the neighborhood’s intimate scale, walkability and “village” atmosphere. Human-scaled buildings with neighborhood-serving uses such as specialty retail stores, restaurants, and local offices are encouraged. Buildings may range in height, with height limits allowing up to three and four stories depending on location. Rear yard corridors above the ground story and at residential levels are generally preserved. Commercial uses are encouraged at the ground story. Retail frontages and pedestrian-oriented streets are protected by limiting curb cuts (i.e. driveways, garage entries) as well as requiring ground floor commercial uses on portions of Diamond and Chenery Streets. Housing development is encouraged above the ground story. Housing density is not controlled by the size of the lot but by dwelling unit standards, physical envelope controls and unit mix requirements. Given the area’s location and accessibility to the transit network, accessory parking for residential and commercial uses is not required. Any new parking is required to be set back to support a pedestrian friendly streetscape. Accessory Dwelling Units are permitted.

FOLSOM STREET NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL TRANSIT DISTRICT. The Folsom Street Neighborhood Commercial Transit District (Folsom Street NCT) is located along Folsom Street in the Western SoMa area, generally between 7th Street and 10th Streets. The Folsom Street NCT has a pattern of ground floor commercial and upper story residential units. Controls are designed to permit moderate-scale buildings and uses, protecting rear yards above the ground story and at residential levels. Active, neighborhood-serving commercial development is required at the ground story where transparency and fenestration requirements add to the activation at the street level. While offices and general retail sales uses may locate on the second story, most commercial uses are prohibited above the second story. In order to protect the balance and variety of retail use, bars and restaurants are permitted on the ground floor, and liquor stores are allowed with a conditional use. Continuous non- residential frontage is promoted by prohibiting drive-up facilities, some automobile uses, and permitting a mix of commercial and production, distribution, and repair uses. Parking is required to be setback if above grade or locate below ground. Active, pedestrian-oriented ground floor uses are required. Housing development in new buildings is encouraged above the ground story, and student housing is only permitted in newly constructed buildings. Housing density is not controlled by the size of the lot or by density controls, but by bedroom counts. Given the area’s central location and accessibility to the City’s transit network, parking for residential and commercial uses is not required. Accessory Dwelling Units are permitted within the district pursuant to Section 207.1 of this Code.
