RM-2 districts are generally similar to RM-1 districts but have a higher overall unit density and a more noticeable mix of building types and unit sizes.
The number of residential units in the RM-2 district is calculated based on the size of the lot. The minimum allowed is 3 units per lot, or 1 unit for every 800 sq ft of lot area, whichever is greater. The maximum allowed is 1 unit for every 600 sq ft of lot area.
Not allowed if it’s below the minimum density specified in the municipal code.
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.
In these districts, unit density requires careful design of new structures to ensure adequate amenities for residents. When nonresidential uses are present, they typically serve a broader area compared to RM-1 districts.
The primary use of the Residential - Mixed, Moderate Density zone is residential. The Permitted uses listed below show that additional land uses may be allowed in this zone.
Permitted Residential Uses: ADU and JADU, intermediate length occupancy use, single room occupancy, dwelling units, student housing, senior housing, group housing, and homeless shelter.
Permitted Non-Residential Uses: Agriculture, passive outdoor recreation, child care facility, public facilities, and residential care facility.
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
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.
