SEC. 702. CLASSES OF NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL DISTRICTS.

The following classes of districts are established for Neighborhood Commercial Districts. (a) Neighborhood Commercial and Neighborhood Commercial Transit Districts. The Neighborhood Commercial and Neighborhood Commercial Transit Districts, listed in Section 201 of this Code, are established for the purpose of implementing the Commerce and Industry element and other elements of the General Plan, according to the objective and policies stated therein. Description and Purpose Statements outline the main functions of each Neighborhood Commercial and Neighborhood Commercial Transit District in the Zoning Plan for San Francisco, supplementing the statements of purpose contained in Section 101 of this Code. The description and purpose statements and land use controls applicable to each of the general and individual area districts are set forth in this Code for each district class. The boundaries of the various Neighborhood Commercial and Neighborhood Commercial Transit Districts are shown on the Zoning Map referred to in Sections 105 and 106 of this Code, subject to the provisions of that Section. (1) Neighborhood Commercial Districts. Neighborhood Commercial Districts are low to high density mixed-use neighborhoods of varying scale established around historical neighborhood commercial centers. The Neighborhood Commercial Districts are intended to support neighborhood-serving uses on the lower floors and housing above. These Districts tend to be linear commercial corridors, but may also include small clusters of commercial activity in Residential Districts. Individually named Neighborhood Commercial Districts are intended to provide for more targeted residential and commercial controls to fit the needs of their respective neighborhoods. (2) Neighborhood Commercial Transit Districts. Neighborhood Commercial Transit Districts are transit-oriented moderate- to high-density mixed-use neighborhoods of varying scale concentrated near transit services. The Neighborhood Commercial Transit Districts are mixed use districts that support neighborhood-serving commercial uses on lower floors and housing above. These districts are well-served by public transit and aim to maximize residential and commercial opportunities on or near major transit services. The district’s form can be either linear along transit-priority corridors, concentric around transit stations, or broader areas where transit services criss-cross the neighborhood. 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. Residential parking is not required and generally limited. Commercial establishments are discouraged or prohibited from building accessory off-street parking in order to preserve the pedestrian-oriented character of the district and prevent attracting auto traffic. There are prohibitions on access (i.e. driveways, garage entries) to off-street parking and loading on critical stretches of commercial and transit streets to preserve and enhance the pedestrian-oriented character and transit function. (b) Neighborhood Commercial Special Use Districts. Neighborhood Commercial Special Use Districts, as listed in Section 201 of this Code, are established for the purpose of controlling changes in use and new development within sensitive neighborhood areas. The purposes and provisions set forth in Section 780 of this Code shall apply within these districts. The boundaries of the districts are as shown on the Zoning Map as referred to in Sections 105 and 106 of this Code, subject to the provisions of that Section. (c) Neighborhood Commercial Restricted Use Subdistricts. Neighborhood Commercial Restricted Use Subdistricts listed in Section 201 of this Code are established for the purpose of controlling the expansion of certain kinds of uses that if uncontrolled may adversely affect the character of certain Neighborhood Commercial Districts. The purposes and provisions set forth in Sections 781.1 through 781.10, Section 784, and Sections 249.35 through 249.99 of this Code shall apply respectively within these districts. The boundaries of the districts are as shown on the Zoning Map as referred to in Section 105 of this Code, subject to the provisions of that Section. (d) Other Special Use Districts. Certain special use districts established in Section 201 of this Code are located within certain Neighborhood Commercial District boundaries.

Subject to the limitations set forth below and in Sections 204.1 (Accessory Uses for Dwellings in All Districts), 204.4 (Dwelling Units Accessory to Other Uses), and 204.5 (Parking and Loading as Accessory Uses) of this Code, Accessory Uses as defined in Section 102 shall be permitted when located on the same lot. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Retail Workspace, as defined in Section 102, shall be permitted as an Accessory Use in connection with any Eating and Drinking Use regardless of the floor area occupied by such Accessory Use, so long as (1) the hours of operation for the accessory Retail Workspace use are limited to 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and (2) such Eating and Drinking Use is also open for business to the general public on each day during which the accessory Retail Workspace use is open. Any Use that does not qualify as an Accessory Use shall be classified as a Principal or Conditional Use unless it qualifies as a temporary use under Sections 205 through 205.4 of this Code. Parcel Delivery Service, as defined in Section 102 of the Planning Code, for merchandise or products other than cannabis and cannabis products is not allowed as an accessory use to any other principal use. No Use will be considered accessory to a permitted Principal or Conditional Use that involves or requires any of the following: (1) The use of more than one-third of the total floor area occupied by such use and the Principal or Conditional use to which it is accessory, except in the case of accessory off-street parking and loading and as specified in subsection (d)(3) below as accessory wholesaling, manufacturing, or processing of foods, goods, or commodities: (2) Any Bar or Restaurant, or any other retail establishment which serves liquor for consumption on-site; however, this shall not prohibit take-out food activity which operates in conjunction with a Limited Restaurant, Restaurant, General Grocery, and Specialty Grocery. This shall also not prohibit a Limited Restaurant as an Accessory Use to a permitted Principal or Conditional Use except as specified in subsection (d)(7) below; (3) The wholesaling, manufacturing, or processing of foods, goods, or commodities on the premises of an establishment that does not also use or provide for retail sale of such foods, goods, or commodities at the same location where such wholesaling, manufacturing, or processing takes place, except that notwithstanding the floor area limitation in subsection (d)(1), a Catering Use limited to food and beverage Catering shall be permitted as an Accessory Use to Restaurants and Limited Restaurants if the following requirements are met: (A) The Catering Use does not operate more than 75% of the total time within the Restaurant’s or Limited Restaurant’s Hours of Operation on any given day; and (B) The Catering Use does not distribute or deliver individual meals to customers directly from the subject lot, either by its own means, or through a third-party delivery service. (4) Any retail Liquor Store. (5) Medical Cannabis Dispensaries.

(7) Within the North Beach SUD and NCD, a Limited Restaurant. (8) A Health Service use as an Accessory Use in the Sacramento Street Neighborhood Commercial District requires a Conditional Use authorization on the ground story and is permitted above the ground story pursuant to Section 724 of this Code. (9) Cannabis Retail that does not meet the limitations set forth in Section 204.3(a)(3) of this Code. (10) An Adult Sex Venue as defined in Section 102 of this Code. (e) Uses Not Permitted. (1) No use, even though listed as a Permitted Use, shall be permitted in a Neighborhood Commercial District which, by reason of its nature or manner of operation, creates conditions that are hazardous, noxious, or offensive through the emission of odor, fumes, smoke, cinders, dust, gas, vibration, glare, refuse, water-carried waste, or excessive noise. (2) The establishment of a use that sells alcoholic beverages, other than beer and wine, concurrent with motor vehicle fuel is prohibited, and shall be governed by Section 202.2(b), with the exception that in the SoMa NCT, these uses are permitted Accessory Uses. (f) Conflicting Controls. All uses, buildings, and features in Neighborhood Commercial Districts shall comply with all controls set forth for the district in which they are located. Where different controls conflict or overlap within the same District, the use, building, or feature shall abide by the most restrictive of all controls. For example, in an NC-2 District, a Dwelling Unit on the second story is proposed for conversion to a Personal Service use. Residential Conversions at the Second Story in an NC-2 District require Conditional Use authorization under Table 711, while Personal Services at the Second Story in an NC-2 District are permitted as Principal Uses under Table 711. Following the most restrictive control, the applicant must obtain Conditional Use authorization and all other necessary permits in order to legally convert the Dwelling Unit to a Personal Service use.

SEC. 710. NC-1 – NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL CLUSTER DISTRICT.

NC-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. These NC-1 Districts are characterized by their location in residential neighborhoods, often in outlying areas of the City. 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 NC-1 District promote lower-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. NC-1 commercial use provisions encourage the full range of neighborhood-serving convenience retail sales and services, subject to certain use size.1 However, commercial uses and features which could impact residential livability are prohibited, such as auto uses, financial services, general advertising signs, drive-up facilities, hotels, and late-night activity. Housing development in new buildings is encouraged above the ground story. Accessory Dwelling Units are permitted. Table 710.

SEC. 710. NC-1 – NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL CLUSTER DISTRICT.

NC-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. These NC-1 Districts are characterized by their location in residential neighborhoods, often in outlying areas of the City. 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 NC-1 District promote lower-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. NC-1 commercial use provisions encourage the full range of neighborhood-serving convenience retail sales and services, subject to certain use size.1 However, commercial uses and features which could impact residential livability are prohibited, such as auto uses, financial services, general advertising signs, drive-up facilities, hotels, and late-night activity. Housing development in new buildings is encouraged above the ground story. Accessory Dwelling Units are permitted. Table 710.

SEC. 711. NC-2 – SMALL-SCALE NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL DISTRICT.

The NC-2 District is intended to serve as the City’s Small-Scale Neighborhood Commercial District. These districts are linear shopping streets which provide convenience goods and services to the surrounding neighborhoods as well as limited comparison shopping goods for a wider market. The range of comparison goods and services offered is varied and often includes specialty retail stores, restaurants, and neighborhood-serving offices. NC-2 Districts are commonly located along both collector and arterial streets which have transit routes. These districts range in size from two or three blocks to many blocks, although the commercial development in longer districts may be interspersed with housing or other land uses. Buildings typically range in height from two to four stories with occasional one-story commercial buildings. The small-scale district controls provide for mixed-use buildings which approximate or slightly exceed the standard development pattern. Rear yard requirements above the ground story and at residential levels preserve open space corridors of interior blocks.

SEC. 711. NC-2 – SMALL-SCALE NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL DISTRICT.

The NC-2 District is intended to serve as the City’s Small-Scale Neighborhood Commercial District. These districts are linear shopping streets which provide convenience goods and services to the surrounding neighborhoods as well as limited comparison shopping goods for a wider market. The range of comparison goods and services offered is varied and often includes specialty retail stores, restaurants, and neighborhood-serving offices. NC-2 Districts are commonly located along both collector and arterial streets which have transit routes. These districts range in size from two or three blocks to many blocks, although the commercial development in longer districts may be interspersed with housing or other land uses. Buildings typically range in height from two to four stories with occasional one-story commercial buildings. The small-scale district controls provide for mixed-use buildings which approximate or slightly exceed the standard development pattern. Rear yard requirements above the ground story and at residential levels preserve open space corridors of interior blocks. Most new commercial development is permitted at the ground and second stories. Neighborhood-serving businesses are strongly encouraged. Parking and hotels are monitored at all stories. Limits on late-night activity, drive-up facilities, and other automobile uses protect the livability within and around the district, and promote continuous retail frontage. Housing development in new buildings is encouraged above the ground floor. Accessory Dwelling Units are permitted. Table 711.

SEC. 712. NC-3 – MODERATE-SCALE NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL DISTRICT.

NC-3 Districts are intended in most cases to offer a wide variety of comparison and specialty goods and services to a population greater than the immediate neighborhood, additionally providing convenience goods and services to the surrounding neighborhoods. NC-3 Districts are linear districts located along heavily trafficked thoroughfares which also serve as major transit routes. NC-3 Districts include some of the longest linear commercial streets in the City, some of which have continuous retail development for many blocks. Large-scale lots and buildings and wide streets distinguish the districts from smaller-scaled commercial streets, although the districts may include small as well as moderately scaled lots. Buildings typically range in height from two to four stories with occasional taller structures. NC-3 building standards permit moderately large commercial uses and buildings. Rear yards are protected at residential levels. A diversified commercial environment is encouraged for the NC-3 District, and a wide variety of uses are permitted with special emphasis on neighborhood-serving businesses. Eating and drinking, entertainment, financial service and certain auto uses generally are permitted with certain limitations at the first and second stories. Other retail businesses, personal services and offices are permitted at all stories of new buildings. Limited storage and administrative service activities are permitted with some restrictions. Housing development in new buildings is encouraged above the second story. Accessory Dwelling Units are permitted. Table 712.

SEC. 713. NC-S – NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL SHOPPING CENTER DISTRICT.

NC-S Districts are intended to serve as small shopping centers or supermarket sites which provide retail goods and services for primarily car-oriented shoppers. They commonly contain at least one anchor store or supermarket, and some districts also have small medical office buildings. The range of services offered at their retail outlets usually is intended to serve the immediate and nearby neighborhoods. These districts encompass some of the most recent (post-1945) retail development in San Francisco's neighborhoods and serve as an alternative to the linear shopping street. Shopping centers and supermarket sites contain mostly one-story buildings which are removed from the street edge and set in a parking lot. Outdoor pedestrian activity consists primarily of trips between the parking lot and the stores on-site. Ground and second stories are devoted to retail sales and some personal services and offices. The NC-S standards and use provisions allow for medium-size commercial uses. Most neighborhood-serving retail businesses are permitted at the first and second stories. Housing development in new buildings is permitted. Accessory Dwelling Units are permitted. Table 713.

SEC. 714. BROADWAY NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL DISTRICT.

The Broadway Neighborhood Commercial District, located in the northeast quadrant of San Francisco, extends along Broadway from east of Columbus Avenue to Osgood Place. It is part of a larger commercial area which includes North Beach to the north, Chinatown to the south and west, and Jackson Square to the southeast. Broadway's fame and popularity as a Citywide and regional entertainment district is derived from a concentration of nightclubs, music halls, adult theaters, bars, and restaurants between Grant Avenue and Montgomery Street. These places attract locals and visitors alike, mainly in the evening and late-night hours. In addition to the entertainment and some retail businesses, Broadway contains many upper-story residential hotels. Due to its proximity to downtown, there is strong pressure to develop upper-story offices. The Broadway District controls are designed to encourage development that is compatible with the existing moderate building scale and mixed-use character, and maintain the district’s balance of entertainment uses, restaurants, and small-scale retail stores. New buildings exceeding 40 feet in height will be carefully reviewed and rear yards at residential levels are protected. Most commercial uses in new buildings are permitted at the first two stories. Neighborhood-serving businesses are strongly encouraged. In order to protect the livability of the area, limitations apply to new formula retail restaurants and adult entertainment uses at the first and second stories, as well as late-night activity. Financial services are allowed on the ground story subject to certain limitations. Nonretail offices are prohibited on the first story and above the second story in order to prevent encroachment of the adjoining downtown office uses. Due to the high traffic volume on Broadway, most automobile and drive-up uses are prohibited in order to prevent further traffic congestion. Parking garages are permitted if their ingress and egress do not disrupt the traffic flow on Broadway. Housing development in new buildings is encouraged above the second story. Existing housing is protected by limitations on demolitions and upper-story conversions. Accessory dwelling units are permitted within the district pursuant to Section 207.1 of this Code. Table 714.

Broadway's fame and popularity as a Citywide and regional entertainment district is derived from a concentration of nightclubs, music halls, adult theaters, bars, and restaurants between Grant Avenue and Montgomery Street. These places attract locals and visitors alike, mainly in the evening and late-night hours. In addition to the entertainment and some retail businesses, Broadway contains many upper-story residential hotels. Due to its proximity to downtown, there is strong pressure to develop upper-story offices. The Broadway District controls are designed to encourage development that is compatible with the existing moderate building scale and mixed-use character, and maintain the district’s balance of entertainment uses, restaurants, and small-scale retail stores. New buildings exceeding 40 feet in height will be carefully reviewed and rear yards at residential levels are protected. Most commercial uses in new buildings are permitted at the first two stories. Neighborhood-serving businesses are strongly encouraged. In order to protect the livability of the area, limitations apply to new formula retail restaurants and adult entertainment uses at the first and second stories, as well as late-night activity. Financial services are allowed on the ground story subject to certain limitations. Nonretail offices are prohibited on the first story and above the second story in order to prevent encroachment of the adjoining downtown office uses. Due to the high traffic volume on Broadway, most automobile and drive-up uses are prohibited in order to prevent further traffic congestion. Parking garages are permitted if their ingress and egress do not disrupt the traffic flow on Broadway. Housing development in new buildings is encouraged above the second story. Existing housing is protected by limitations on demolitions and upper-story conversions. Accessory dwelling units are permitted within the district pursuant to Section 207.1 of this Code. Table 714.

SEC. 715. CASTRO STREET NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL DISTRICT.

(a) The Castro Street District. The Castro Street District is situated in Eureka Valley, close to the geographic center of San Francisco between the Mission District, Twin Peaks, and Upper Market Street. The physical form of the district is a crossing at Castro and 18th Streets, the arms of which contain many small, but intensely active commercial businesses. The multi- purpose commercial district provides both convenience goods to its immediate neighborhood as well as comparison shopping goods and services on a specialized basis to a wider trade area. Commercial businesses are active both in the daytime and late into the evening and include a number of gay-oriented bars and restaurants, as well as several specialty clothing and gift stores. The district also supports a number of offices in converted residential buildings. (b) Intent of Controls. The Castro Street District controls are designed to accommodate various scales of development and promote a balanced mix of uses. Building standards permit small- and mid-scale buildings and uses and protect rear yards above the ground story and at residential levels. In new buildings, most commercial uses are permitted at the ground and second stories. Special controls are necessary to preserve the existing equilibrium of neighborhood-serving convenience and specialty commercial uses. In order to maintain convenience stores and protect adjacent residential livability, controls authorize some additional drinking establishments with a conditional use, permit self-service specialty food establishments, and permit with certain limitations new late-night uses, adult and other entertainment, and financial service uses. The continuous retail frontage is maintained by prohibiting most automobile and drive-up uses. Housing development in new buildings is encouraged above the second story. Accessory Dwelling Units are permitted. Table 715.

SF Planning Code § 716 INNER CLEMENT STREET NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL DISTRICT

SEC. 716. INNER CLEMENT STREET NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL DISTRICT.

The Inner Clement Street Neighborhood Commercial District is located on Clement Street between Arguello Boulevard and Funston Avenue in the eastern portion of the Richmond District of northwest San Francisco. The District provides a wide selection of convenience goods and services for the residents of the Inner Richmond neighborhood. Inner Clement Street has one of the greatest concentrations of restaurants of any commercial street in San Francisco, drawing customers from throughout the City and region. There are also a significant number of professional, realty, and business offices as well as financial institutions. The pleasant pedestrian character of the district is derived directly from the intensely active retail frontage on Clement Street. The District controls are designed to promote development that is consistent with its existing land use patterns and to maintain a harmony of uses that supports 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 protect adjacent residential livability. These controls limit additional financial service uses, additional eating and drinking establishments, and late-night commercial uses. In order to maintain the street’s active retail frontage, controls also prohibit most new automobile and drive-up uses. Housing development is encouraged in new buildings above the ground story. Accessory Dwelling Units are permitted. Table 716.

SEC. 717. OUTER CLEMENT STREET NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL DISTRICT.

The Outer Clement Street Neighborhood Commercial District is located on Clement Street between 19th Avenue and 27th Avenue in the western portion of the Richmond District. The shopping area contains small-scale convenience businesses, as well as many restaurants and a movie theater. The District’s restaurants serve a neighborhood and Citywide clientele during the evening hours, while convenience shopping uses cater for the most part to daytime neighborhood shoppers. Outer Clement Street contains many mixed-use buildings with some fully commercial and fully residential buildings interspersed between them. The Outer Clement Street District controls are designed to promote development that is in keeping with the District’s existing small-scale, mixed-use character. The building standards guide large-scale development and protect rear yards at all levels. Future commercial growth is directed to the ground story in order to promote more continuous and active retail frontage. Additional eating and drinking establishments are regulated to prevent over-concentration, while ground-story entertainment and financial service uses are monitored in order to limit the problems of traffic, congestion, noise and late-night activity associated with such uses and to protect existing neighborhood-serving businesses. Other controls restricting late-night activity, hotels, automobile uses, and drive-up facilities are designed to preserve the low-intensity character of the district. Housing development in new buildings is encouraged above the ground story. Accessory Dwelling Units are permitted. Table 717.

SEC. 718. UPPER FILLMORE STREET NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL DISTRICT.

The Upper Fillmore Street Neighborhood Commercial District is situated in the south-central portion of Pacific Heights. It runs north-south along Fillmore Street from Jackson to Bush and extends west one block along California and Pine Streets. This medium-scaled, multi-purpose commercial district provides convenience goods to its immediate neighborhood as well as comparison shopping goods and services on a specialized basis to a wider trade area. Commercial businesses are active during both day and evening and include a number of bars, restaurants, specialty groceries, and specialty clothing stores. The Upper Fillmore District controls are designed to reflect the existing building scale and promote new mixed-use development which is in character with adjacent buildings. Building standards regulate large lot and use development and protect rear yards above the ground story and at residential levels. Most commercial uses are permitted at the first two stories of new buildings. Special controls are designed to preserve an equilibrium of neighborhood-serving convenience and specialty commercial uses. In order to maintain convenience stores and protect adjacent livability, additional bars (unless part of a restaurant) and formula retail establishments are prohibited, and financial service uses are limited. In order to promote continuous retail frontage, drive-up and most automobile uses are prohibited. Housing development in new buildings is encouraged above the second story. Accessory Dwelling Units are permitted. Table 718.

SEC. 719. HAIGHT STREET NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL DISTRICT.

Northwest of the City’s geographical center, the Haight Street Neighborhood Commercial District is located in the Haight-Ashbury neighborhood, extending along Haight Street between Stanyan and Central Avenue, including a portion of Stanyan Street between Haight and Beulah. The shopping area provides convenience goods and services to local Haight-Ashbury residents, as well as comparison shopping goods and services to a larger market area. The commercial district is also frequented by users of Golden Gate Park on weekends and by City residents for its eating, drinking, and entertainment places. Numerous housing units establish the District’s mixed residential-commercial character. The Haight Street District controls are designed to reflect the existing building scale and promote new mixed-use development which is in character with adjacent buildings. The building standards regulate large-lot and use development and protect rear yards above the ground story and at residential levels. To promote the prevailing mixed-use character, most commercial uses are directed primarily to the ground story with some upper-story restrictions in new buildings. In order to maintain the balanced mix and variety of neighborhood-serving commercial uses and regulate the more intensive commercial uses which can generate congestion and nuisance problems, special controls limit additional drinking uses and tourist hotels. Prohibitions of most automobile and drive-up uses protect the District’s continuous retail frontage. Housing development in new buildings is encouraged above the ground story. Accessory Dwelling Units are permitted. Table 719.

SEC. 720. EXCELSIOR OUTER MISSION NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL DISTRICT.

The Excelsior Outer Mission Street Neighborhood Commercial District is located along Mission Street between Alemany Boulevard and the San Francisco-San Mateo county line. Outer Mission Street is mixed use, combining street-fronting retail businesses on the ground floor and housing on upper floors. The range of comparison goods and services offered is varied and often includes specialty retail stores, restaurants, and neighborhood-serving offices. The area is transit-oriented and the commercial uses serve residents of the area as well as residents and visitors from adjacent and other neighborhoods. The Excelsior Outer Mission Street Neighborhood Commercial District is intended to provide convenience goods and services to the surrounding neighborhoods as well as limited comparison shopping goods for a wider market. Housing development in new buildings is encouraged above the second story. Existing residential units are protected by limitations on demolitions and upper-story conversions. Parking for residential and commercial uses is not required. Buildings range in height, with height limits generally allowing up to four stories. Lots vary in size, generally small- or medium-sized with some very large parcels. Table 720.

SEC. 721. JAPANTOWN NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL DISTRICT.

The Japantown Neighborhood Commercial District extends between Geary Boulevard and Post Street from Fillmore Street to Laguna Street, the north side of Post Street from Webster Street to Laguna Street, and Buchanan Street from Post Street to midway between Sutter Street and Bush Street. The character of these streets is largely commercial, including large malls, although there are some residential units above the ground story. Buildings are typically two- to four-stories, although there are two taller hotels. Geary Boulevard, Fillmore Street, and Sutter Street are important public transit corridors. The commercial district provides convenience goods and services to the surrounding neighborhoods as well as shopping, cultural, and entertainment uses that attract visitors from near and far. The Japantown Neighborhood Commercial District controls are designed to encourage and promote development that enhances the walkable, commercial character of this area and to support its local and regional role. New commercial development is required on the ground floor and permitted above. Most neighborhood- and visitor-serving businesses are strongly encouraged, including eating, drinking, and retail uses, as long as they do not create a nuisance. Less active commercial uses are encouraged above the ground floor, along with housing and institutional uses. Table 721.

SEC. 722. NORTH BEACH NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL DISTRICT.

The North Beach Neighborhood Commercial District is a nonlinear district centered on Columbus Avenue, located in the valley between Telegraph Hill and Russian Hill north of Broadway. North Beach functions as a neighborhood-serving marketplace, Citywide specialty shopping, and dining district, and a tourist attraction, as well as an apartment and residential hotel zone. Traditionally, the District has provided most convenience goods and services for residents of North Beach and portions of Telegraph and Russian Hills. North Beach’s eating, drinking, and entertainment establishments remain open into the evening to serve a much wider trade area and attract many tourists. The balance between neighborhood-serving convenience stores and Citywide specialty businesses has shifted, as convenience stores have been replaced by restaurants and bars. The proliferation of financial services, limited financial services, and professional services has also upset the District’s balance of uses. The relocation of business and professional offices from downtown to North Beach threatens the loss of upper-story residential units. The North Beach District controls are designed to ensure the livability and attractiveness of North Beach. The protection and enhancement of the unique architectural, cultural, and historic character of North Beach shall be prioritized. Building standards limit new development to a small to moderate scale. Rear yards are protected above the ground story and at residential levels. Active commercial uses shall be required at the ground floor. Special controls limit Health Services to small neighborhood-serving medical and dental services, while large-scale medical facilities are prohibited. Small-scale, neighborhood-serving businesses are strongly encouraged and formula retail uses are prohibited. To preserve and maintain the district’s small-scale, fine grain storefronts, the consolidation or merger of existing retail or commercial spaces or storefronts is restricted, and Use Sizes are controlled to encourage traditional small-scale commercial spaces. Special controls are necessary because an over-concentration of food and beverage service establishments limits neighborhood-serving retail sales and personal services in an area that needs them to thrive as a neighborhood. To honor the importance of Legacy Businesses in the success of the neighborhood, special controls are in place to prevent the replacement of an active Legacy Business with a non-Legacy Business. In order to maintain neighborhood-serving retail sales and personal services and to protect residential livability, additional Restaurants and Bars are prohibited in spaces that have been occupied by neighborhood-serving retail sales and personal services. Financial services, limited financial services, and ground-story business and professional office uses are prohibited from locating in the portion of the district south of Greenwich Street, while new financial services locating in the portion of the district north of Greenwich Street are limited. Restrictions on automobile and drive-up uses are intended to promote continuous retail frontage and maintain residential livability. In keeping with the District’s existing mixed-use character, housing development in new buildings is encouraged above the ground floor. Existing residential units are protected by limitations of upper-story conversions, mergers, removals, and demolitions. Accessory Dwelling Units are permitted within the existing building envelope, but may not eliminate or reduce ground-story retail or commercial space.

SEC. 723. POLK STREET NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL DISTRICT.

(a) Background. Sitting in the gulch between Nob and Russian Hills and Pacific Heights, the Polk Street Neighborhood Commercial District extends for a mile as a north-south linear strip, and includes a portion of Larkin Street between Post and California Streets. Polk Street’s dense mixed-use character consists of buildings with residential units above ground-story commercial use. The district has an active, pedestrian-oriented, and continuous commercial frontage along Polk Street for almost all of its length. Larkin Street and side streets in the district have a greater proportion of residences than Polk Street itself. California Street and Hyde Street also have active, pedestrian-oriented, and commercial frontage that is small-scale. The district is well served by transit and includes the historic California Cable Car. To preserve and maintain the district’s small-scale, fine grain storefronts, the consolidation or merger of existing retail or commercial spaces or storefronts is generally prohibited and lot mergers are controlled. The district provides convenience goods and services to the residential communities in the Polk Gulch neighborhood and to the residents on the west slopes of Nob and Russian Hills. It has many apparel and specialty stores, as well as some automobile uses, which serve a broader trade area. Commercial uses also include offices, as well as movie theaters, restaurants, and bars which keep the district active into the evening. (b) Controls. (1) Purposes. The Polk Street District controls are designed to encourage and promote development that is compatible with the surrounding neighborhood. The building standards guide large-scale development and protect rear yards at residential levels. Consistent with Polk Street’s existing mixed-use character, new buildings may contain most commercial uses at the First Story. The controls encourage neighborhood-serving businesses. They also prohibit new adult entertainment uses. Restrictions on drive-up and most automobile uses protect the district’s continuous retail frontage and prevent further traffic congestion. Housing developed in new buildings is encouraged above the First Story, especially in the less intensely developed portions of the district along Larkin Street and on large lots throughout the district. New housing development requires 40% or more two-bedroom plus units to encourage families to live in the district. Parking is limited in new developments given the District’s transit access and the proximity to bus rapid transit along Van Ness Avenue parallel to the district. Accessory Dwelling Units are permitted. (2) Replacement of a Legacy Business Requires Conditional Use Authorization. Where an immediately prior use was a Legacy Business, as defined under Administrative Code Section 2A.242, the controls require any new Non-Residential use to obtain Conditional Use authorization; provided, however, that this requirement shall not apply where: (A) the subject non-residential space has had no occupant and has not been open to the public for three or more years from the date the application for the new use is filed, (B) the Legacy Business has removed itself or has been otherwise removed from the Legacy Business Registry, or (C) the Legacy Business is an existing General Grocery use and is replaced by another business classified as a General Grocery use, and only if the existing General Grocery use is expanded into a building on the same Lot. (3) Merger of Storefronts. To preserve and maintain the district’s small-scale, fine grain storefronts, the consolidation or merger of existing ground floor retail or commercial spaces or storefronts shall be principally permitted up to 3,000 square feet and conditionally permitted at 3,001 square feet and above. (4) Neighborhood Commercial Design Guidelines. The construction of new buildings and alteration of existing buildings in the Polk Street NC District shall be consistent with the design policies and guidelines of the General Plan and with the “Polk/Pacific Special Area Design Guidelines” as adopted by the Planning Commission. The Planning Director may require modifications to the exterior of a proposed new building or proposed alteration of an existing residential building in order to bring it into conformity with the Citywide Design Standards, “Polk/Pacific Special Area Design Guidelines” and with the General Plan. These modifications may include, but are not limited to, changes in siting, building envelope, scale texture and detailing, openings, and landscaping.

SEC. 724. SACRAMENTO STREET NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL DISTRICT.

Located in the Presidio Heights neighborhood in north-central San Francisco, the Sacramento Street Neighborhood Commercial District functions as a small-scale linear shopping area. It extends along Sacramento Street between Lyon and SpruceStreets. Interspersed among residential buildings and garages, the district’s daytime-oriented retail stores provide a limited array of convenience goods to the immediate neighborhood. Sacramento Street also has many elegant clothing, accessory, and antique stores and services, such as hair salons, which attract customers from a wider trade area. Its numerous medical and business offices draw clients from throughout the City. Evening activity in the district is limited to one movie theater, a few restaurants, and some stores near Presidio Avenue. The Sacramento Street District controls are designed to promote adequate growth opportunities for development that is compatible with the surrounding low-density residential neighborhood. The building standards guide large-scale development and protect rear yards at the grade level and above. Most new commercial development is permitted at the first story; a conditional use authorization is required if a general retail use would involve conversion of any existing housing units. Special controls are designed to protect existing neighborhood- serving ground-story retail uses. Limits on financial service uses are intended to minimize the environmental impacts generated by the growth of such uses. The daytime orientation of the District is encouraged by requiring conditional use authorization for bars and restricting late-night commercial activity. New hotels and parking facilities are limited in scale and operation to minimize disruption to the neighborhood. Most new automobile and drive-up uses are prohibited to promote continuous retail frontage. Housing development in new buildings is encouraged above the second story. Accessory Dwelling Units are permitted. Table 724.

SEC. 725. UNION STREET NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL DISTRICT.

The Union Street Commercial District is located in northern San Francisco between the Marina and Pacific Heights neighborhoods. The district lies along Union Street between Van Ness Avenue and Steiner, including an arm extending north on Fillmore Street to Lombard. The shopping area provides limited convenience goods for the residents of sections of the Cow Hollow, Golden Gate Valley, and Pacific Heights neighborhoods immediately surrounding the street. Important aspects of Union Street’s business activity are eating and drinking establishments and specialty shops whose clientele comes from a wide trade area. There are also a significant number of professional, realty, and business offices. Many restaurants and bars as well as the district’s two movie theaters are open into the evening hours, and on weekends the street’s clothing, antique stores and galleries do a vigorous business. The Union Street District controls are designed to provide sufficient growth opportunities for commercial development that is in keeping with the existing scale and character, promote continuous retail frontage, and protect adjacent residential livability. Small- to mid-scale buildings and neighborhood-serving uses are promoted, and rear yards above the ground story and at all residential levels are protected. Most commercial development is permitted at the first two stories of new buildings, while retail service uses are monitored at the third story and above. Controls are necessary to preserve the remaining convenience businesses and to reduce the cumulative impacts which the growth of certain uses have on neighborhood residents. Such controls require Conditional Use authorization for additional drinking establishments and limit additional entertainment, and financial service uses. Most automobile and drive-up uses are prohibited in order to maintain continuous retail frontage and minimize further traffic congestion. Housing development in new buildings is encouraged above the second story. Accessory Dwelling Units are permitted. Table 725.

SEC. 726. PACIFIC AVENUE NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL DISTRICT.

(a) Background. The Pacific Avenue Neighborhood Commercial District, on Pacific Avenue from just east of Polk Street to all four corners of Pacific Avenue and Jones Street, is situated on the north slope of the Nob Hill neighborhood and south of the Broadway Tunnel. Pacific Avenue is a multi- purpose, small-scale mixed-use neighborhood shopping district on a narrow street that provides limited convenience goods to the adjacent neighborhoods. (b) Controls. (1) Purposes. The Pacific Avenue Neighborhood Commercial District controls are designed to promote a small, neighborhood serving mixed-use commercial street that preserves the surrounding neighborhood residential character. These controls are intended to preserve livability in a largely low-rise development residential neighborhood, enhance solar access on a narrow street right-of-way, and protect residential rear yard patterns at the ground floor. Accessory Dwelling Units are permitted. (2) Replacement of a Legacy Business Requires Conditional Use Authorization. Where an immediately prior use was a Legacy Business, as defined under Administrative Code Section 2A.242, the controls require any new Non-Residential Use to obtain Conditional Use authorization; this requirement shall not apply where: (A) the subject non-residential space has had no occupant and has not been open to the public for three or more years from the date the application for the new use is filed, or (B) where the Legacy Business has removed itself or has been otherwise removed from the Legacy Business Registry. (3) Neighborhood Commercial Design Guidelines. The construction of new buildings and alteration of existing buildings in the Pacific Avenue Neighborhood Commercial District shall be consistent with the design policies and guidelines of the General Plan, the Citywide Design Standards, the Urban Design Guidelines and with the “Polk/Pacific Special Area Design Guidelines” as adopted by the Planning Commission. The Planning Director may require modifications to the exterior of a proposed new building or proposed alteration of an existing residential building in order to bring it into conformity with the Citywide Design Standards and the “Polk/Pacific Special Area Design Guidelines” and with the General Plan. These modifications may include, but are not limited to, changes in siting, building envelope, scale texture and detailing, openings, and landscaping. Table 726.

SEC. 728. 24TH STREET – NOE VALLEY NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL DISTRICT.

The 24th Street – Noe Valley Neighborhood Commercial District is situated along 24th Street between Chattanooga and Diamond in the Noe Valley neighborhood of central San Francisco. This daytime-oriented, multi-purpose commercial district provides a mixture of convenience and comparison shopping goods and services to a predominantly local market area. It contains primarily retail sales and personal services at the street level, some office uses on the second story, and residential use almost exclusively on the third and upper stories. The 24th Street – Noe Valley District controls are designed to allow for development that is compatible with the existing mixed-use neighborhood commercial character and surrounding residential area. The small- to mid- scale of new buildings and neighborhood-serving uses is encouraged and rear yard open space corridors at all levels are protected. Most commercial uses are directed to the ground story and limited at the second story of new buildings. In order to maintain the variety and mix of retail sales and services along the commercial strip and to control the problems of traffic, congestion, noise and late-night activity, certain potentially troublesome commercial uses are regulated. Financial service uses are restricted to and at the ground story. Prohibitions on drive-up and most automobile uses help prevent additional traffic and parking congestion. Housing development in new buildings is encouraged above the ground story. Accessory Dwelling Units are permitted.

SEC. 729. WEST PORTAL AVENUE NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL DISTRICT.

Located in the southwestern part of the City, the West Portal Avenue Neighborhood Commercial District stretches for three long blocks along West Portal Avenue from Ulloa Street to 15th Avenue and extends one block east along Ulloa Street from the Twin Peaks Tunnel entrance to Claremont Boulevard. West Portal Avenue provides a selection of goods and services for customers coming mainly from the surrounding west of Twin Peaks and Sunset single-family residential neighborhoods. The lively, small-scale retail frontage is interrupted at several locations by large-scale financial institutions which take up a large amount of commercial ground-story frontage. More than half of the number of medical, professional and business offices are located at the ground level. The West Portal Avenue District controls are designed to preserve the existing family-oriented, village character of West Portal Avenue. The height, bulk and design of new development, especially on large lots, should respect the small- to mid-scale character of the district and its surrounding residential neighborhoods. Lot mergers creating large lots are discouraged. Individual nonresidential uses require conditional use permits above 2,500 square feet. Special controls on commercial uses are designed to protect the existing mix of ground-story retail uses and prevent further intensification and congestion in the district. Because the district and surrounding neighborhoods are well served by the existing number of eating and drinking establishments, new bars are discouraged: any proposed new establishment should be carefully reviewed to ensure that it is neighborhood-serving and family-oriented, and will not generate traffic, parking, or litter problems. Medical, business or professional services are permitted at the first two stories, but additional ground-story locations are to be closely monitored to ensure that the current balance between retail and office uses is maintained. Existing service stations are encouraged to continue operating, but changes in their size, operation, or location are subject to review. Other automotive uses are prohibited. The neighborhood- oriented, retail character of the district is further protected by prohibiting hotels and limiting nonretail uses. The daytime orientation of the district is maintained by prohibition of late-night commercial operating hours. Housing development in new buildings is encouraged.;2 new construction should ensure appropriate scale, design and compatibility with adjacent development. Accessory Dwelling Units are permitted.

SEC. 730. INNER SUNSET NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL DISTRICT.

The Inner Sunset Neighborhood Commercial District is located in the Inner Sunset neighborhood bounded by Lincoln Way on the north, Fifth Avenue on the east, Kirkham Street on the south, and Nineteenth Avenue on the west. The shopping area provides convenience goods and services to local Inner Sunset residents, as well as comparison shopping goods and services to a larger market area. The commercial district is also frequented by users of Golden Gate Park on weekends and by City residents for its eating, drinking, and entertainment places. Numerous housing units establish the District’s mixed residential-commercial character. The Inner Sunset District controls are designed to protect the existing building scale and promote new mixed-use development which is in character with adjacent buildings. The building standards regulate large-lot and use development and protect rear yards above the ground story and at residential levels. To promote the prevailing mixed-use character, most commercial uses are directed primarily to the ground story with some upper-story restrictions in new buildings. In order to maintain the balanced mix and variety of neighborhood-serving commercial uses and regulate the more intensive commercial uses which can generate congestion and nuisance problems, special controls restrict expansion and intensification of existing eating and drinking establishments, and limit tourist hotels. Prohibitions of most automobile and drive-up uses protect the district’s continuous retail frontage. Housing development in new buildings is encouraged above the ground story. Accessory Dwelling Units are permitted. Table 730.

SEC. 731. NORIEGA STREET NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL DISTRICT.

The Noriega Street Neighborhood Commercial District is located in the Outer Sunset neighborhood and includes properties fronting both sides of Noriega Street between 19th and 27th and 30th through 33rd 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 Noriega 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 various scales of 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. To protect continuous frontage, drive-up uses are prohibited and active, pedestrian-oriented ground floor uses generally must be provided, unless such uses are authorized by Conditional Use. These controls are designed to encourage the street’s active retail frontage, and local fabrication and production of goods.

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. Table 732.

SEC. 733. TARAVAL STREET NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL DISTRICT.

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.

SEC. 734. JUDAH STREET NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL DISTRICT.

The Judah Street Neighborhood Commercial District is located in the Outer Sunset neighborhood and includes the properties fronting both sides of Judah Street from 29th through 33rd 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 Judah 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. Table 734.

SEC. 736. OUTER BALBOA STREET NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL DISTRICT.

The Outer Balboa Street Neighborhood Commercial District is located along Balboa Street between 32nd Avenue and 39th Avenue in the Richmond District of San Francisco. The District is a small-scale linear shopping street which provides convenience goods and services to the surrounding neighborhood as well as limited comparison shopping goods for a wider market. The Outer Balboa Street Neighborhood Commercial District controls provide for mixed-use buildings which approximate or moderately exceed the standard development pattern. Rear yard requirements above the ground story and at residential levels preserve open space corridors of interior blocks. Most new commercial development is permitted at the ground and second stories. Neighborhood-serving businesses are strongly encouraged. The second story may be used by some retail stores, personal services, and medical, business and professional offices. Parking and hotels are monitored at all stories. Limits on late-night activity, drive-up facilities, and other automobile uses protect the livability within and around the District, and promote continuous retail frontage. Housing development in new buildings is encouraged above the ground story. Accessory Dwelling Units are permitted. Table 736.

The District is a small-scale linear shopping street which provides convenience goods and services to the surrounding neighborhood as well as limited comparison shopping goods for a wider market. The Cortland Avenue Neighborhood Commercial District controls provide for mixed-use buildings which approximate or slightly exceed the standard development pattern. Rear yard requirements above the ground story and at residential levels preserve open space corridors of interior blocks. Most new commercial development is permitted at the ground and second stories. Neighborhood-serving businesses are strongly encouraged. The second story may be used by some retail stores, personal services, and medical, business and professional offices. Parking and hotels are monitored at all stories. Limits on late-night activity, drive-up facilities, and other automobile uses protect the livability within and around the District, and promote continuous retail frontage. Housing development in new buildings is encouraged above the ground story. Existing residential units are protected by limitations on demolition and upper-story conversions. Accessory Dwelling Units are permitted within the District pursuant to Sections 207.1 and 207.2 of this Code. Table 738.

SEC. 741. SAN BRUNO AVENUE NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL DISTRICT.

The San Bruno Avenue Neighborhood Commercial District is located along San Bruno Avenue between Hale and Olmstead Streets. The District is a small-scale linear shopping street which provides convenience goods and services to the surrounding neighborhood as well as limited comparison shopping goods for a wider market. The San Bruno Avenue District controls provide for mixed-use buildings which approximate or slightly exceed the standard development pattern. Rear yard requirements above the ground story and at residential levels preserve open space corridors of interior blocks. Most new commercial development is permitted at the ground and second stories. Neighborhood-serving businesses are strongly encouraged. The second story may be used by some retail stores, personal services, and medical, business, and professional offices. Parking and hotels are monitored at all stories. Limits on late-night activity, drive-up facilities, and other automobile uses protect the livability within and around the district, and promote continuous retail frontage. Housing development in new buildings is encouraged above the ground story. Existing residential units are protected by limitations on demolition and upper-story conversions. Accessory Dwelling Units are permitted within the District pursuant to Sections 207.1 and 207.2 of this Code. Table 741.

SEC. 742. COLE VALLEY NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL DISTRICTS.

The Cole Valley Neighborhood Commercial District is located along Cole Street from Frederick to Grattan Streets and includes some parcels north of Carl Street and south of Parnassus. It is a local shopping district with a mix of retail uses in a residential neighborhood that is near a transit line. Building controls for the Cole Valley Neighborhood Commercial District promote small to mid-scale development which is compatible with the existing scale and character of the area. Commercial development is limited to one story with some exceptions. Rear yard requirements at all levels preserve existing backyard space. 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, financial services, general advertising signs, drive-up facilities, hotels, and late-night activity. Housing development in new buildings is encouraged above the ground story. Accessory Dwelling Units are permitted. Table 742. COLE VALLEY NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL DISTRICT ZONING CONTROL TABLE

However, commercial uses and features which could impact residential livability are prohibited, such as auto uses, financial services, general advertising signs, drive-up facilities, hotels, and late-night activity. Housing development in new buildings is encouraged above the ground story. Accessory Dwelling Units are permitted. Table 742.

SEC. 743. LOWER HAIGHT STREET NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL DISTRICT.

The Lower Haight Street Neighborhood Commercial District is located along Haight Street between Webster and Steiner Streets. The District is a small-scale linear shopping street which provides convenience goods and services to the surrounding neighborhood as well as limited comparison shopping goods for a wider market. The District controls provide for mixed-use buildings which approximate or moderately exceed the standard development pattern. Rear yard requirements above the ground story and at residential levels preserve open space corridors of interior blocks. Most new commercial development is permitted at the ground and second stories. Neighborhood-serving businesses are strongly encouraged. The second story may be used by some retail stores, personal services, and medical, business and professional offices. Parking and hotels are monitored at all stories. Limits on late-night activity, drive-up facilities, and other automobile uses protect the livability within and around the District, and promote continuous retail frontage. Housing development in new buildings is encouraged above the ground story. Accessory Dwelling Units are permitted. Table 743.

In addition to providing convenience goods and services to the surrounding neighborhood, the District offers a wide variety of comparison and specialty goods and services to a population greater than the immediate neighborhood. The building standards permit moderately large commercial uses and buildings. Rear yards are protected at residential levels. A diversified commercial environment is encouraged for the District, and a wide variety of uses are permitted with special emphasis on neighborhood-serving businesses. Financial service, and certain auto uses generally are permitted with certain limitations at the first and second stories. Other retail businesses, personal services, and offices are permitted at all stories of new buildings. Limited storage and administrative service activities are permitted with some restrictions. Housing development in new buildings is encouraged above the second story. Existing residential units are protected by limitations on demolitions and upper-story conversions.

SEC. 745. INNER TARAVAL STREET NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL DISTRICT.

The Inner Taraval Street Neighborhood Commercial District is located along Taraval Street between 19th and Forest Side Avenues in the Inner Sunset neighborhood. It is separated from the Taraval Street Neighborhood Commercial District by 19th Avenue. The District is a small-scale linear shopping street which provides convenience goods and services to the surrounding neighborhood as well as limited comparison shopping goods for a wider market. The District controls provide for mixed-use buildings which approximate or moderately exceed the standard development pattern. Rear yard requirements above the ground story and at residential levels preserve open space corridors of interior blocks. Most new commercial development is permitted at the ground and second stories. Neighborhood-serving businesses are strongly encouraged. The second story may be used by some retail stores, personal services, and medical, business and professional offices. Parking and hotels are monitored at all stories. Limits on late-night activity, drive-up facilities, and other automobile uses protect the livability within and around the District, and promote continuous retail frontage. Housing development in new buildings is encouraged above the ground story. Accessory Dwelling Units are permitted. Table 745.

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.

SF Planning Code § 746 LELAND AVENUE NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL DISTRICT

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.

SEC. 750. 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.

SEC. 751. NCT-2 – SMALL-SCALE NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL TRANSIT DISTRICT.

NCT-2 Districts are transit-oriented mixed-use neighborhoods with small scale commercial uses near transit services. The NCT-2 Districts are mixed use districts that support neighborhood-serving commercial uses on lower floors and housing above. These Districts are well-served by public transit and aim to maximize residential and commercial opportunities on or near major transit services. The District’s form is generally linear along transit-priority corridors, though may be concentric around transit stations or in broader areas where multiple transit services criss-cross the neighborhood. 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 (e.g., 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-2 Districts are intended to provide convenience goods and services to the surrounding neighborhoods as well as limited comparison shopping goods for a wider market. The range of comparison goods and services offered is varied and often includes specialty retail stores, restaurants, and neighborhood-serving offices. The small-scale district controls provide for mixed- use buildings, which approximate or slightly exceed the standard development pattern. Rear yard requirements above the ground story and at residential levels preserve open space corridors of interior blocks. Most new commercial development is permitted at the ground and second stories. Neighborhood-serving businesses are strongly encouraged. The second story may be used by some retail stores, personal services, and medical, business and professional offices. Parking and hotels are monitored at all stories. Limits on late-night activity, drive-up facilities, and other automobile uses protect the livability within and around the district, and promote continuous retail frontage. Housing development in new buildings is encouraged above the ground story. Accessory Dwelling Units are permitted. Table 751.

SEC. 752. NCT-3 – MODERATE-SCALE NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL TRANSIT DISTRICT.

(a) NCT-3 Districts are walkable and transit-oriented moderate- to high-density mixed-use neighborhoods of varying scale concentrated near transit services. The NCT-3 Districts are mixed use districts that support neighborhood-serving Commercial Uses on lower floors and housing above. These districts are well-served by public transit and aim to maximize residential and commercial opportunities on or near major transit services. The district’s form can be either linear along transit-priority corridors, concentric around transit stations, or broader areas where transit services criss-cross the neighborhood. 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. Residential parking is not required and generally limited. Commercial establishments are discouraged or prohibited from building accessory off-street parking in order to preserve the pedestrian-oriented character of the district and prevent attracting auto traffic. There are prohibitions on access (i.e. driveways, garage entries) to off-street parking and loading on critical stretches of NC and transit streets to preserve and enhance the pedestrian-oriented character and transit function. (b) NCT-3 Districts are intended in most cases to offer a wide variety of comparison and specialty goods and services to a population greater than the immediate neighborhood, additionally providing convenience goods and services to the surrounding neighborhoods. NCT-3 Districts include some of the longest linear commercial streets in the City, some of which have continuous retail development for many blocks. Large-scale lots and buildings and wide streets distinguish the districts from smaller-scaled commercial streets, although the districts may include small as well as moderately scaled lots. Buildings may range in height, with height limits varying from four to eight stories. (c) NCT-3 building standards permit moderately large Commercial Uses and buildings. Rear yards are protected at residential levels. (d) A diversified commercial environment is encouraged for the NCT-3 District, and a wide variety of uses are permitted with special emphasis on neighborhood-serving businesses. Financial service uses generally are permitted with certain limitations at the first and second stories. Auto-oriented uses are somewhat restricted. Other retail businesses, personal services and offices are permitted at all stories of new buildings. Limited storage and administrative service activities are permitted with some restrictions. (e) Housing development in new buildings is encouraged above the second story. Accessory Dwelling Units are permitted. Table 752.

SEC. 753. SOMA NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL TRANSIT DISTRICT.

The SoMa Neighborhood Commercial Transit District (SoMa NCT) is located along the 6th Street and Folsom Street corridors in the South of Market. The commercial area provides a limited selection of convenience goods for the residents of the South of Market. Eating and drinking establishments contribute to the street’s mixed-use character and activity in the evening hours. A number of upper-story professional and business offices are located in the district, some in converted residential units. The SoMa 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, curb cuts are prohibited and ground floor transparency and fenestration adds to the activation of the ground story. While offices and general retail sales uses may locate on the second story or above of new buildings, most commercial uses are prohibited above the second story. In order to protect the balance and variety of retail use, bars and liquor stores are allowed with a conditional use. Continuous retail frontage is promoted by prohibiting drive-up facilities, some automobile uses, and new non-retail commercial uses. Above-ground parking is required to be setback or below ground. Active, pedestrian-oriented ground floor uses are required. Housing development in new buildings is encouraged above the ground story. 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. Table 753.

SEC. 754. MISSION STREET NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL TRANSIT DISTRICT.

(a) Background. The Mission Street Neighborhood Commercial Transit District is located near the center of San Francisco in the Mission District. It lies along Mission Street between 15th and Cesar Chavez Streets, and includes adjacent portions of 17th Street, 21st Street, 22nd Street, and Cesar Chavez Street. The commercial area of this District provides a selection of goods serving the day-to-day needs of the residents of the Mission District. Additionally, this District serves a wider trade area with its specialized retail outlets. Eating and drinking establishments contribute to the District’s mixed-use character and activity in the evening hours. (b) Purpose. The purposes of the Mission Street Neighborhood Commercial Transit District include: (1) To preserve and enhance the existing storefront configuration and size, signage, artwork, and other character-defining elements of the built environment; (2) To preserve the contributions of Legacy Businesses to the history and identity of the District; (3) To retain, enhance, and promote active community involvement and input on development within the District by conducting thorough outreach to stakeholders and neighborhood groups and responding to community input; and (4) To retain, enhance, and promote neighborhood-serving businesses and institutions that enhance economic and workforce opportunities for local residents by coordinating with the Office of Economic and Workforce Development to engage with the City’s workforce system to provide employment opportunities, career trainings, and formal partnerships to identify and address both business and community workforce needs. (c) Controls. (1) General Controls. The District is extremely well-served by transit, including regional-serving BART stations at 16th Street and 24th Street, major buses running along Mission Street, and both cross-town and local-serving buses intersecting Mission Street along the length of this district. Given the area’s central location and accessibility to the City’s transit network, accessory parking for residential uses is not required. Any new parking is required to be set back or be below ground. This District has a mixed pattern of larger and smaller lots and businesses, as well as a sizable number of 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. New neighborhood-serving commercial development is encouraged mainly at the ground story. Ground story uses are required to include active commercial uses with storefronts facing the street. While offices and general retail sales uses may locate at the second story of new buildings under certain circumstances, most commercial uses are prohibited above the second story. Continuous retail frontage is promoted by requiring ground floor commercial uses in new developments and prohibiting curb cuts. Housing development in new buildings is encouraged above the ground story. Housing density is not controlled by the size of the lot but by requirements to supply a high percentage of larger units and by physical envelope controls. Existing residential units are protected by prohibitions on upper-story conversions and limitations on demolitions, mergers, and subdivisions. Accessory Dwelling Units are permitted within the District pursuant to Section 207.1 of this Code. (2) Commercial Mergers. The consolidation or merger of existing ground floor commercial spaces that would result in greater than 1,500 gross square feet of consolidated or merged space shall require conditional use authorization pursuant to Section 303. (3) First Story Non-Residential Tenant Space for Large Projects. Projects larger than 10,000 gross square feet shall be required to provide space for a non-residential tenant on the first story with immediate access to the street frontage. The non-residential tenant space shall not exceed 1,500 gross square feet. (4) Replacement of a Legacy Business Requires Conditional Use Authorization. Where an immediately prior use was a Legacy Business, as defined under Administrative Code Section 2A.242, the controls require any new Non-Residential Use to obtain Conditional Use authorization; provided, however, that this requirement shall not apply where: (A) the subject non-residential space has had no occupant and has not been open to the public for three or more years from the date the application for the new use is filed, or (B) where the Legacy Business has removed itself or has been otherwise removed from the Legacy Business Registry. (5) For any use subject to Conditional Use authorization under this Section 754, the Planning Commission shall find that the use supports at least three of the four purposes of the District as set forth in subsection (b) above.

SEC. 755. OCEAN AVENUE NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL TRANSIT DISTRICT.

The Ocean Avenue Neighborhood Commercial Transit District is located on Ocean Avenue from Howth Street to Manor Drive. Ocean Avenue is a multi-purpose transit-oriented small- scale commercial district. Ocean Avenue was developed as a streetcar-oriented commercial district in the 1920s and continues to serve this function, with the K-line streetcar on Ocean Avenue. Numerous other bus lines serve the area, especially the eastern end, where the Phelan Loop serves as a major bus terminus. The eastern end of the district is anchored by the main City College campus and direct linkages to the Balboa Park BART/MUNI rail station a couple blocks to the east, which serves as the southernmost San Francisco station for BART and the terminus of the J, K, and M streetcar lines. Because of the immediate proximity of the BART/MUNI station the district has quick and easy transit access to downtown. The Ocean Avenue NCT District is mixed use, transitioning from a predominantly one- and two-story retail district to include 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. Access (i.e. driveways, garage entries) to off-street parking and loading is generally prohibited on Ocean Avenue to preserve and enhance the pedestrian-oriented character and transit function of the street. Residential and commercial parking are not required. The Ocean Avenue NCT District is intended to provide convenience goods and services to the surrounding neighborhoods as well as limited goods and services for a wider market. The range of goods and services offered is varied and includes retail stores, retail services, restaurants, and neighborhood-serving arts, entertainment, and institutional community uses. Buildings may range in height, with height limits generally allowing up to four or five stories. Lots are generally small to medium in size and lot consolidation is restricted to preserve the fine grain character of the district. Rear yard requirements above the ground story and at residential levels preserve open space corridors of interior blocks. Active commercial, arts, entertainment, and institutional community uses are required at the ground level and permitted at the second story. For purposes of this Section, Arts Activities, Nighttime Entertainment, and Institutional Community Uses shall be considered “active commercial uses,” as described in Section 145.4 of this Code. Housing development in new buildings is encouraged above the ground story. Existing residential units are protected by limitations on demolition and upper-story conversions. Accessory Dwelling Units are permitted. Table 755.

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. Table 756.

SEC. 757. 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. Table 757.

SF Planning Code § 758 REGIONAL COMMERCIAL DISTRICT

SEC. 758. REGIONAL COMMERCIAL DISTRICT.

The Regional Commercial District (RCD) is located along the 9th Street and 10th Street corridors, generally running from Mission Street to Harrison Street, and provides for a wide variety of commercial uses and services to a population greater than the immediate neighborhood. While providing convenience goods and services to the surrounding neighborhood, the RCD corridors are also heavily trafficked thoroughfares into and out of the City that serve shoppers from other neighborhoods and cities. Large-scale lots and buildings and wide streets distinguish the RCD from smaller-scaled neighborhood commercial streets, although the district also includes small as well as moderately scaled lots. Buildings typically range in height from two to four stories with occasional taller structures. A diverse commercial environment is encouraged for the RCD. Eating and drinking establishments, general retail, office, certain auto uses, and production, distribution, and repair uses generally are permitted with certain limitations at the first and second stories. Arts Activities are encouraged on all floors and Nighttime Entertainment uses are allowed on the First and Second Stories in historic buildings with Conditional Use authorization, except that Nighttime Entertainment uses are Principally Permitted in Article 10 Landmark Building No. 120 (currently St. Joseph’s Church at 1401 Howard Street) and on properties fronting Folsom Street between 7th Street and Division Street. Housing development is encouraged at the second story and above, and permitted on the ground floor on smaller lots. Student housing is not permitted, and existing residential units are protected by limitations on demolitions and conversions. Accessory Dwelling Units are permitted within the district pursuant to Section 207.1 of this Code. Table 758.

SEC. 759. DIVISADERO STREET NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL TRANSIT DISTRICT.

The Divisadero Street Neighborhood Commercial Transit District (“Divisadero Street NCT”) extends along Divisadero Street between Haight and O’Farrell Streets. Divisadero Street’s dense mixed-use character consists of buildings with residential units above ground-story commercial use. The District has an active and continuous commercial frontage along Divisadero Street for most of its length. Divisadero Street is an important public transit corridor and throughway street. The commercial district provides convenience goods and services to the surrounding neighborhoods as well as limited comparison shopping goods for a wider market. The Divisadero Street NCT controls are designed to encourage and promote development that enhances the walkable, mixed-use character of the corridor and surrounding neighborhoods. Rear yard requirements above the ground story and at residential levels preserve open space corridors of interior blocks. Housing development in new buildings is encouraged above the ground story. Accessory Dwelling Units are permitted. Consistent with Divisadero Street’s existing mixed-use character, new commercial development is permitted at the ground and second stories. Most neighborhood-serving businesses are strongly encouraged. Controls on new Formula Retail uses are consistent with Citywide policy for Neighborhood Commercial Districts. The second story may be used by some retail stores, personal services, and medical, business and professional offices. Additional flexibility is offered for second-floor Eating and Drinking, Entertainment, and Trade Shop uses in existing non- residential buildings to encourage the preservation and reuse of such buildings. Hotels are monitored at all stories. Limits on late-night activity, drive-up facilities, and other automobile uses protect the livability within and around the district, and promote continuous retail frontage. If the Planning Department determines that any site proposed for residential development and located within the Divisadero Street NCT has received a 50% or greater increase in residential densities over prior zoning through the adoption of Ordinance No. 127-15, any development project that is subject to the Inclusionary Affordable Housing Program on such site shall pay the Affordable Housing Fee, or provide one of the Alternatives to Payment of the Affordable Housing Fee, set forth in Planning Code Sections 415 et seq., except that the amount of the Affordable Housing Fee or Alternatives to Payment of the Affordable Housing Fee shall be modified as set forth in Planning Code Sections 428 et seq.

SEC. 760. FILLMORE STREET NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL TRANSIT DISTRICT.

The Fillmore Street Neighborhood Commercial Transit District (“Fillmore Street NCT”) extends along Fillmore Street between Bush and McAllister Streets. Fillmore Street’s dense mixed-use character consists of buildings with residential units above ground-story commercial use. Buildings range in height from one-story commercial buildings to high-rise towers. Fillmore Street and Geary Boulevard are important public transit corridors. The commercial district provides convenience goods and services to the surrounding neighborhoods as well as shopping, cultural, and entertainment uses that attract visitors from near and far. The Fillmore Street NCT controls are designed to encourage and promote development that enhances the walkable, mixed-use character of the corridor and surrounding neighborhoods. Rear yard requirements at residential levels preserve open space corridors of interior blocks. Housing development in new buildings is encouraged above the ground story. Accessory Dwelling Units are permitted. Consistent with Fillmore Street’s existing mixed-use character, new commercial development is permitted at the ground and second stories. Most neighborhood- and visitor-serving businesses are strongly encouraged. Controls on new Formula Retail uses are consistent with Citywide policy for Neighborhood Commercial Districts. The second story may be used by some retail stores, personal services, and medical, business, and professional offices. Parking and hotels are monitored at all stories. Limits on drive-up facilities and other automobile uses protect the livability within and around the district and promote continuous retail frontage. Table 760.

SEC. 761. HAYES-GOUGH NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL TRANSIT DISTRICT.

The Hayes-Gough Neighborhood Commercial Transit District is located within walking distance of the Civic Center, lying west of Franklin Street and east of Laguna Street, with its southern edge generally at Lily Street, with an extension south along both sides of Octavia Boulevard to Market Street. This mixed-use commercial district contains a limited range of retail commercial activity, which primarily caters to the immediate need of the neighborhood. The few comparison goods that it does provide attract clientele from a wider area outside its neighborhood, mostly the Performing Arts and Civic Center workers and visitors. There are a number of restaurants and art galleries, but other types of retail activity are limited. The Hayes-Gough District controls are designed to allow for growth and expansion that is compatible with the existing building and use scales. Building standards protect the moderate building and Use Size and require rear yards at residential levels. To maintain the mixed-use character of the district, most commercial uses are permitted at the first and second stories and housing is strongly encouraged. Retail sales activity, especially neighborhood-serving businesses, is further promoted by restricting new ground-story medical, business and professional offices. To protect continuous frontage, drive-up and most automobile uses are prohibited, above-ground parking is required to be setback or below ground, and active, pedestrian-oriented ground floor uses are required on Hayes Street and portions of Octavia Boulevard. Housing development in new buildings is encouraged, and is controlled not by lot area but by physical envelope controls. Given the area’s central location and accessibility to the downtown and to the City’s transit network, accessory parking for Residential Uses is not required. The code controls for this district are supported and augmented by design guidelines and policies in the Market and Octavia Area Plan of the General Plan. Accessory Dwelling Units are permitted.

SEC. 762. VALENCIA STREET NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL TRANSIT DISTRICT.

The Valencia Street Commercial Transit District is located near the center of San Francisco in the Mission District. It lies along Valencia Street between 14th and Cesar Chavez (Army) Street, and includes a portion of 16th Street extending west toward Dolores Street. The commercial area provides a limited selection of convenience goods for the residents of sections of the Mission and Dolores Heights. Valencia Street also serves a wider trade area with its retail and wholesale home furnishings and appliance outlets. The commercial district also has several automobile-related businesses. Eating and drinking establishments contribute to the street’s mixed-use character and activity in the evening hours. A number of upper-story professional and business offices are located in the district, some in converted residential units. The Valencia Street District has a pattern of large lots and businesses, as well as a sizable number of 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. New neighborhood-serving commercial development is encouraged mainly at the ground story. While offices and general retail sales uses may locate at the second story of new buildings under certain circumstances, most commercial uses are prohibited above the second story. Continuous retail frontage is promoted by prohibiting drive-up facilities and some automobile uses, and limiting new nonretail commercial uses. Parking is not required, and any new parking is required to be set back or below ground. Active, pedestrian-oriented ground floor uses are required. Housing development in new buildings is encouraged above the ground story. Housing density is not controlled by the size of the lot but by requirements to supply a high percentage of larger units and by physical envelope controls. Existing residential units are protected by prohibitions on upper-story conversions and limitations on demolitions, mergers, and subdivisions. Given the area’s central location and accessibility to the City’s transit network, accessory parking for Residential Uses is not required. Accessory Dwelling Units are permitted within the district pursuant to Section 207.1 of this Code. Table 762.

SEC. 763. 24TH STREET – MISSION NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL TRANSIT DISTRICT.

The 24th Street – Mission Neighborhood Commercial Transit District is situated in the Inner Mission District on 24th Street between Bartlett Street and San Bruno Avenue. This mixed- use district provides convenience goods to its immediate neighborhood as well as comparison shopping goods and services to a wider trade area. The street has a great number of Latin American restaurants, grocery stores, and bakeries as well as other gift and secondhand stores. Most commercial businesses are open during the day while the district’s bars and restaurants are also active in the evening. Dwelling Units are frequently located above the ground-story commercial uses. The 24th Street – Mission Neighborhood Commercial Transit District controls are designed to provide potential for new development consistent with the existing scale and character. Small-scale buildings and neighborhood-serving uses are encouraged, and rear yard corridors above the ground story and at residential levels are protected. Most commercial uses are encouraged at the ground story, while service uses are permitted with some limitations at the second story. Special controls are necessary to preserve the unique mix of convenience and specialty commercial uses. In order to maintain convenience stores and protect adjacent livability, new bars are limited, and limitations apply to the development and operation of ground- story restaurants and entertainment uses. Continuous retail frontage along 24th Street is maintained and encouraged by prohibiting most automobile and drive-up uses, banning curb cuts, and requiring active, pedestrian-oriented ground floor uses. Parking is not required, and any new parking required to be set back or below ground. Housing development in new buildings is encouraged above the ground story. Housing density is not controlled by the size of the lot but by requirements to supply a high percentage of larger units and by physical envelope controls. Existing housing units are protected by prohibitions on upper-story conversions and limitations on demolitions, mergers, and subdivisions. Given the area’s central location and accessibility to the City’s transit network, accessory parking for Residential Uses is not required.

SEC. 764. UPPER MARKET STREET NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL TRANSIT DISTRICT.

The Upper Market Street Neighborhood Commercial Transit District is located on Market Street from Church to Noe Streets, and on side streets off Market. Upper Market Street is a multi-purpose commercial district that provides goods and services to adjacent neighborhoods, but also serves as a shopping street for a broader trade area. The width of Market Street and its use as a major arterial diminish the perception of the Upper Market Street Transit District as a single commercial district. The street appears as a collection of dispersed centers of commercial activity, concentrated at the intersections of Market Street with secondary streets. This district is well served by transit and is anchored by the Market Street subway (with stations at Church Street and Castro Street) and the F-Market historic streetcar line. All light-rail lines in the City traverse the district, including the F, J, K, L, M, and N, and additional key cross-town transit service crosses Market Street at Fillmore and Castro Streets. Additionally, Market Street is a primary bicycle corridor. 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. Residential parking is not required and generally limited. Commercial establishments are discouraged or prohibited from building accessory off-street parking in order to preserve the pedestrian-oriented character of the district and prevent attracting auto traffic. There are prohibitions on access (i.e. driveways, garage entries) to off-street parking and loading on Market and Church Streets to preserve and enhance the pedestrian-oriented character and transit function. The Upper Market Street Transit District controls are designed to promote moderate-scale development which contributes to the definition of Market Street’s design and character. They are also intended to preserve the existing mix of Commercial Uses and maintain the livability of the district and its surrounding residential areas. Large-lot and use development is reviewed

They are also intended to preserve the existing mix of Commercial Uses and maintain the livability of the district and its surrounding residential areas. Large-lot and use development is reviewed for consistency with existing development patterns. Rear yards are protected at all levels. To promote mixed-use buildings, most Commercial Uses are permitted with some limitations above the second story. In order to maintain continuous retail frontage and preserve a balanced mix of Commercial Uses, ground-story neighborhood- serving uses are encouraged, and financial service uses are limited. Ground floor-commercial space is required along Market and Church Streets. Most Automotive Service and Drive-Up Facility uses are prohibited or conditional. Housing development in new buildings is encouraged. Accessory Dwelling Units are permitted. Table 764.

In order to preserve the potential mix and variety of goods and services provided to the Excelsior, yet provide the possibility for reasonable commercial expansion and intensification which would not disrupt the residential character of the surrounding neighborhoods, there shall be a Mission-Harrington Special Use District, located at 4550 Mission Street, at the intersection with Harrington Street, at Assessor's Block 3148, Lot 1, as designated on the Special Use District Map SU11 of the Zoning Map of the City and County of San Francisco. (a) Purpose and Findings. In addition to the purposes stated in Section 701 of this Code, the following purposes and findings form a basis for special regulations and provide guidance for their application in the Mission-Harrington Special Use District. (1) The Mission-Harrington Special Use District is in the north-eastern part of the block bounded by Mission Street, Harrington Street, Norton Street and Alemany Boulevard, in the Excelsior. It is currently developed with a single-story commercial building, and has historically been used as a retail business. The rest of the lots on the same block, on Mission Street, are devoted to commercial uses, with some properties having residential uses above retail. Behind the commercial properties, there is a municipal parking lot; the remaining properties on the block are single family homes. (2) The lot where the District is located has been underutilized for more than a decade. The Community has partnered with the City on numerous occasions to develop the site, without success. (3) The District is located on a major transit-corridor and in a vibrant economic corridor. It is further in close proximity to both a 50-X and 65-X Zone Height and Bulk Zone, in an appropriate location for high-density in-fill mixed-use development. (b) Controls. All of the controls for the NC-3 District, as set forth in Section 712.1 and Table 712 of this Code, shall apply to the Mission-Harrington Special Use District, except as provided below: Zoning Category No. Controls .10 Height: 56 feet (56-X) § 207.4 One unit allowed for every 400 sf of lot area .22 No off-street parking required .12 No rear setback required (Added by Ord. 253-08, File No. 080883) Editor's Note: This section was originally designated 780.3 when enacted by Ord. 253-08.

These effects contribute to peace, health, safety and general welfare problems in these areas, including loitering, littering, public drunkenness, driving while intoxicated, defacement and damaging of structures, pedestrian obstructions, as well as traffic circulation, parking and noise problems on public streets and neighborhood lots, and other nuisance activities. The existence of such problems creates serious impacts on the health, safety and welfare of residents of nearby single- and multiple-family areas. These impacts include fear for the safety of children, elderly residents and visitors to the area. (b) Boundaries.

SEC. 784. LOWER HAIGHT STREET ALCOHOL RESTRICTED USE DISTRICT.

(a) Findings. There are an unusually large number of establishments dispensing alcoholic beverages, including beer and wine, for off-site consumption in the Neighborhood Commercial Cluster Districts located generally along Haight Street at Scott Street and generally along Haight Street at Pierce Street and in the Lower Haight Street Neighborhood Commercial District located generally along Haight Street at and between Steiner and Webster Streets. The existence of this many Liquor Stores appears to contribute directly to numerous peace, health, safety, and general welfare problems in the area, including loitering, littering, public drunkenness, defacement and damaging of structures, pedestrian obstructions, as well as traffic circulation, parking, and noise problems on public streets and neighborhood lots. The existence of such problems creates serious impacts on the health, safety, and welfare of residents of nearby single- and multiple-family areas, including fear for the safety of children, elderly residents, and visitors to the area. The problems also contribute to the deterioration of the neighborhood and concomitant devaluation of property and destruction of community values and quality of life. The number of Liquor Stores and the associated problems discourage more desirable and needed commercial uses in the area. (b) Boundaries. In order to preserve the residential character and the neighborhood-serving commercial uses of the area, the Lower Haight Street Alcohol Restricted Use District (Lower Haight Street Alcohol RUD) is hereby established for the following: (1) Properties in the Neighborhood Commercial Cluster District located generally along Haight Street at Scott Street; (2) Properties in the Neighborhood Commercial Cluster District located generally along Haight Street at Pierce Street;

SEC. 786. THIRD STREET FORMULA RETAIL RESTRICTED USE DISTRICT.

(a) Findings. (1) San Francisco is a city of diverse and distinct neighborhoods identified in large part by the character of their commercial corridors. (2) San Francisco must create a supportive environment for small businesses in order to preserve the unique character of the City and foster a vibrant commercial sector. (3) One of the eight Priority Policies of the City's General Plan resolves that "existing neighborhood-serving retail uses be preserved and enhanced and future opportunities for resident employment in and ownership of such businesses enhanced." (4) The Bayview neighborhood is home to a diverse array of businesses including neighborhood commercial and industrial businesses that serve the working class community. The Third Street Corridor has served as the main merchant corridor for this neighborhood and is receiving significant investment of City resources to revitalize, grow and expand local business opportunities. (5) As development in San Francisco continues, neighborhoods, including residential and commercial areas in the Bayview area, will be subject to change, and new businesses may wish to locate in the Bayview area, particularly along the Third Street Corridor. (6) The Third Street Corridor presently has a mix of businesses, housing, shops, work places, community serving uses, religious institutions, parks and civic facilities that create an identifiable neighborhood. (7) An influx of formula retail businesses can put pressure on existing businesses and potentially price out existing and new independent businesses. (8) Bayview's mix of businesses, uses and architecture contributes to a strong sense of neighborhood community. The Third Street Corridor is generally of small scale, with buildings that have been identified as potential historic resources or have been landmarked as historic places. There is both architectural variety and variety in the types of goods and services offered on the Third Street Corridor. Additionally the majority of businesses on the Third Street Corridor are locally-owned, many for generations, and some have historically served the diverse ethnic communities of the Bayview. (9) Standardized architecture, color schemes, decor and signage of many formula retail businesses can detract from the distinctive character of the Bayview neighborhood community. (10) The increase of formula retail businesses in the Third Street Corridor, if not monitored and regulated, will hamper the City's goal of a diverse retail base within distinct neighborhood communities. (11) In 2004 the Board of Supervisors adopted a redevelopment plan ("Redevelopment Plan") for the Bayview Hunters Point Project Area, which was subsequently amended in 2010. The Redevelopment Plan was the result of years of community based planning efforts with the goal of revitalizing the area to create new parks and open space, retail opportunities, affordable housing and other community benefits. Three of the objectives outlined in the Redevelopment Plan are focused on supporting the commercial activities of the Third Street Corridor. Specifically, Section 1.2.1 lists these objectives as: strengthening the economic base of the Project Area and the community by strengthening retail and other commercial functions within the Project Area, retaining existing residents and existing cultural diversity to the extent feasible, and supporting locally-owned small businesses and local entrepreneurship. (12) One of the goals of the Redevelopment Plan was to provide structure and limitations to the development of the Bayview to encourage uses that would benefit the neighborhood, create new economic development opportunities and draw more residents and patrons to the Third Street Corridor. By establishing a Conditional Use process, both the City and the community have an opportunity to review and provide comments on any proposed location, expansion or alteration of formula retail uses to ensure that they meet the objectives of the Redevelopment Plan. (13) The unregulated and unmonitored establishment of additional formula retail uses may unduly limit or eliminate business establishment opportunities for non-traditional or unique businesses, thereby decreasing the diversity of merchandise and merchants along the Third Street corridor.
