What are the local zoning regulations for 1480 Sutter St ?

NC-3 (NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL, MODERATE SCALE)

In NC-3 districts, housing development in new buildings is encouraged above the second floor. Protections for existing residential units include restrictions on demolitions and upper-story conversions.

The number of residential units in the NC-3 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 is intended in most cases to offer a wide variety of comparison and specialty goods and services to a population greater than the immediate neighborhood, additionally providing convenience goods and services to the surrounding neighborhoods. NC-3 Districts are linear districts located along heavily trafficked thoroughfares, which also serve as major transit routes.

The primary use of the Neighborhood Moderate Scale zone is mixed-use. The Permitted uses listed below show that additional land uses may be allowed in this zone.

Permitted Residential Use: ADU, student housing, single room occupancy, dwelling unit, group housing, homeless shelter, and senior housing.

Permitted Non-Residential Use: Agriculture (neighborhood), entertainment (general and nighttime), movie theater, community facility, institutional uses, public facilities, social service or philanthropic facility, retail sales and service use, animal hospital, bar, massage establishment, massage, foot/chair, restaurant, financial services, trade shop, design professional and trade office.

What is the maximum height for 1480 Sutter St ?

80-A

The height of a dwelling cannot exceed 80 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.
