SEC. 811. CHINATOWN VISITOR RETAIL DISTRICT.
The Chinatown Visitor Retail Neighborhood Commercial District extends along Grant
Avenue between California and Jackson Streets. This district contains a concentration of
shopping bazaars, art goods stores and restaurants which attract visitors and shoppers and
contribute to the City's visual and economic diversity. Grant Avenue provides an important link
between Downtown retail shopping and the Broadway, North Beach and Fisherman's Wharf
areas.
This district is intended to preserve the street's present character and scale and to
accommodate uses primarily appealing to visitors (e.g. tourist gifts shops, jewelry stores, art
goods, large restaurants). In order to promote continuous retail frontage, entertainment,
financial services, medicalhealth service, automotive, and drive-up uses are restricted. Most
commercial uses, except financial services are permitted on the first two stories.
Administrative services, (those not serving the public) are prohibited in order to prevent
encroachment from downtown office uses. There are also special controls on restaurants and
tourist hotels. Building standards protect and complement the existing small-scale
development and the historic character of the area.
The height limit applicable to the district will accommodate two floors of housing or
institutional use above two floors of retail use. Existing residential units are protected by
prohibition of upper-story conversions and limitation on demolition. Accessory dwelling units
are permitted within the district pursuant to Subsection 207(c)(4) of this Code.

SEC. 840. MUG - MIXED USE-GENERAL DISTRICT.
The Mixed Use-General (MUG) District is largely comprised of the low-scale,
production, distribution, and repair (PDR) uses mixed with housing and small-scale retail. The
MUG is designed to maintain and facilitate the growth and expansion of small-scale light
manufacturing, wholesale distribution, arts production and performance/exhibition activities,
general commercial and neighborhood-serving retail and personal service activities while
protecting existing housing and encouraging the development of housing at a scale and
density compatible with the existing neighborhood.
Housing is encouraged over ground floor commercial and PDR uses. New residential
or mixed use developments are encouraged to provide as much mixed-income family housing
as possible. Existing group housing and dwelling units would be protected from demolition or
conversion to nonresidential use by requiring conditional use review. Accessory Dwelling
Units are permitted within the district pursuant to subsection 207(c)(4) of this Code.
Nighttime entertainment, movie theaters, adult entertainment and heavy manufacturing
uses are not permitted. Office is restricted to the upper floors of multiple story buildings.
