What are the local zoning regulations for 140 Steiner St ?

RTO (RESIDENTIAL TRANSIT ORIENTED DISTRICT)

RTO districts consist of moderate-density multi-family areas, mainly made up of former RM and RH-3 zones.

The number of residential units in the RTO district is calculated based on the size of the lot, but at least one unit per 800 square feet of lot area.

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 aims to recognize, protect, conserve, and enhance areas with a mix of houses and apartment buildings, varying in density and building forms. RTO is conveniently located within a short walking distance, typically less than one-quarter mile, from transit and neighborhood commercial areas.

The primary use of the Residential Transit Oriented 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, residential density, group housing, and homeless.

Permitted Non-Residential uses: Limited corner commercial uses, agriculture, neighborhood, passive outdoor recreation, child care facility, public facilities, residential care facility, and mobile food facility.

What neighborhood is 140 Steiner St located in?

Hayes Valley, San Francisco

Hayes Valley is a cool, revitalized neighborhood in the Western Addition. The main commercial stretch, Hayes Street, teems with upscale boutiques for designer fashions and home decor, plus dessert shops, chill watering holes and a wide array of on-trend restaurants. The close-knit neighborhood features a community garden, a pocket park with art installations, and access to music and theater near the Civic Center.

Hayes Valley south of McAllister Street was spared the fires that followed the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. It was a multi-ethnic neighborhood, becoming, with the blossoming of the Fillmore district after World War II, an African-American neighborhood. As recently as the mid-1985, this neighborhood (and, indeed, the Western Addition in general) was considered one of the most dangerous places in the Bay Area.
