What are the local zoning regulations for 1124 Elm St ?

RH-3 (RESIDENTIAL- HOUSE, THREE FAMILY)

RH-3 districts are similar to RH-2 districts, but it's more common to find buildings with 3 units alongside one and two-family homes. These areas are mainly made up of large flats rather than apartment-style housing, with each unit typically having its own separate entrance.

The number of residential units in the RH-3 district is calculated based on the size of the lot, but it cannot exceed 3 dwelling units 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.

These districts are predominantly made up of large flats rather than apartments. Building styles are varied but generally complementary. Outdoor space is available at ground level, as well as on decks and balconies for individual units. Nonresidential uses are more common here than in RH-2 districts.

The primary use of the Residential - House, Three -Family zone is residential. 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, senior housing, and residential dwelling units

Permitted Non-Residential uses: Agriculture, neighborhood or passive outdoor recreation, childcare facility, public facilities, and residential care facility.

What neighborhood is 1124 Elm St located in?

Western Addition, San Francisco

Western Addition neighborhood has the only other Japantown in Northern California (the other being in San Jose). Plus, the super famous Fillmore Theatre is right here and we have our own farmer’s market every Saturday, with a live jazz band to accompany it!

The Western Addition, like many neighborhoods, is ill-defined. Some maps draw it as encompassing all of Alamo Square Park and a significant portion of what is now known as "NoPa," while others define it as the area north of Golden Gate, extending to Geary.

Western Addition intersects and/or overlaps with the Alamo Square neighborhood, NoPa, the Fillmore District, Lower Pacific Heights and the Lower Haight, depending on how you mentally define it.

Based on how many in the hood talk about the Western Addition, its borders appear to have shrunk over the past several years to encompass an area containing a number of lower-income housing units. At the same time, new neighborhood names such as NoPa have appeared, and the Alamo Square neighborhood began to mentally capture more and more of the common vernacular. This is no doubt due to the efforts of real estate agents.
