In NCD-Broadway districts, housing development in new buildings is encouraged on floors above the second story. Existing housing is protected by restrictions on demolitions and upper-story conversions.
The number of residential units in the NCD-Broadway district is calculated based on the size of the lot, but it cannot exceed 1 dwelling unit per lot.
Dwelling Unit: A room or suite of two or more rooms that is designed for, or is occupied by, one family doing its own cooking therein and having only one kitchen.
Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU): Also known as a Secondary Unit or In-Law Unit. It is accessory to at least one other Dwelling Unit on the same lot. A detached ADU should not share structural walls with the primary structure on the lot.
Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit (JADU): JADU is a secondary living space within a single-family home, limited to 500 square feet. It must have its own entrance, an efficiency kitchen, and can either share or have separate sanitation facilities. The property owner must live on-site unless a government agency, land trust, or housing organization owns the unit.
This 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 on the first two stories. Neighborhood-serving businesses are strongly encouraged. To protect the livability of the area, limitations apply to new fast-food 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 to prevent encroachment of the adjoining downtown office uses.
The primary use of the Broadway Neighborhood Commercial zone is mixed-use. The Permitted uses listed below show that additional land uses may be allowed in this zone.
Permitted Residential Uses: ADU, single room occupancy, student housing, residential uses, dwelling units, senior housing, group housing, and homeless shelters.
Permitted Non-Residential Uses: walk-up facility, agriculture (neighborhood), arts activities, general entertainment, movie theater, child care facility, community facility, public facilities, residential care facility, social service or philanthropic facility, restaurant, restaurant (limited), limited financial services, retail, professional services and trade office.
The height of a dwelling cannot exceed 65 feet.
Building height is measured from the centerline of the building. If the building steps laterally along a street, separate measurements are taken from the centerline of each step. For flat roofs, height is measured to the highest point of the finished roof, while for pitched or stepped roofs, it is measured to the average height of the rise.
Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs), also called secondary units, in-law units, or cottages, are units added to existing and new residential buildings. Adding an ADU to your property can provide several benefits, such as providing housing for family members, simplifying your lifestyle, and increased financial flexibility.Learn more about building ADUs
