What are the local zoning regulations for 1249 Stockton St ?

CCB (CHINATOWN-COMMUNITY BUSINESS)

In CCB districts, housing development is encouraged on the upper stories of new buildings. Existing housing is protected through restrictions on demolitions and upper-story conversions.

The number of residential units in the CCB 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 zoning district is intended to protect existing housing, encourage new housing, and accommodate modest expansion of Chinatown business activities as well as street-level retail uses. The size of individual professional or business office use is limited in order to prevent these areas from being used to accommodate larger office uses spilling over from the financial district. Housing development in new buildings is encouraged on upper stories. Existing housing is protected by limitations on demolitions and upper-story conversions.

The primary use of the Chinatown Community Business zone is commercial. 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, dwelling unit, group housing and homeless shelters, and senior housing.

Permitted Non-Residential Uses: Open space, walk-up facility, agriculture (neighborhood), entertainment (general), entertainment (nighttime), movie theater, hospital, hotel, trade office, and wireless telecommunications services facility.

What is the maximum height for 1249 Stockton St ?

65-85-N

The height of a dwelling cannot exceed 85 feet. However, the height limit may be decreased or increased based on the slope of the lot.

Tower Base: The base is the lowest part of the building, extending vertically to a street wall height of up to 1.25 times the width of the widest abutting street or 50 feet, whichever is greater. There are no limitations on the length or diagonal dimensions of the base.

Lower Tower: For buildings under 160 feet in height, the bulk controls for the lower tower are the only applicable controls above the building base. These controls include a maximum length of 160 feet, a maximum floor size of 20,000 square feet, and a maximum diagonal dimension of 190 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.

What neighborhood is 1249 Stockton St located in?

Nob Hill, San Francisco

Occasionally referred to as “Snob Hill,” this neighborhood’s affluent reputation dates back to the Gold Rush when railroad barons (known as “nobs”) and other benefactors of the rush built their mansions on the hill, which was newly accessible by cable car lines. Their place on the hill kept them out of the fray of the rowdy waterfront and less well-off Tenderloin neighborhood.

But the 1906 earthquake and ensuing fire destroyed almost all of these opulent homes. Today the rebuilt and majestic Grace Cathedral, the beautiful Huntington Park, and luxury hotels stand in their place, bringing in daily swarms of tourists. This area now has much more diverse housing that belies its nickname, with a mix of new and old architecture, practical and swanky apartment buildings of all sizes, high-end condos, and impressive Victorians.

Polk Street features both fancy and divey restaurants, shops, and cafes side by side, as well as an assortment of popular bars with signature cocktails.
