RM-4 districts are almost entirely made up of high-density apartment buildings, typically with smaller units, and are located near the downtown area.

The number of residential units in the RM-4 district is calculated based on the size of the lot. The minimum allowed is 3 units per lot, or 1 unit for every 267 sq ft of lot area, whichever is greater. The maximum allowed is 1 unit for every 200 sq ft of lot area.

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, despite the intensity of development, should still aim for distinct building styles, moderated façades, and open spaces for residents in new projects.

What is the maximum height for 1646 Sutter St ?

50-X

The height of a dwelling cannot exceed 50 feet.

To promote taller ground floor ceilings for commercial and active uses, improve light and air in ground-level spaces, and allow ground floor residential units to be slightly elevated for privacy and usable stoops, buildings located along major streets in NCT and designated areas of NC-1, NC-2, and NC-3 districts may exceed the height limit by up to 5 feet, provided they include either higher ceilings for non-residential spaces or walk-up residential units raised above sidewalk level.

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.
