NCT-VALENCIA (VALENCIA STREET NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL TRANSIT)

In NCT-Valencia districts, housing development in new buildings is encouraged on floors above the ground story. Existing housing is protected by restrictions on demolitions and upper-story conversions.

The number of residential units in the NCT-Valencia district is unlimited. Density is controlled by the allowed height and bulk, along with the required setbacks, exposure, and open space for each parcel.

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 located near the center of San Francisco in the Mission District. It lies along Valencia Street between 14th and Cesar Chavez (Army) Street, and includes a portion of 16th Street extending west toward Dolores Street. The commercial area provides a limited selection of convenience goods for the residents of sections of the Mission and Dolores Heights. Valencia Street also serves a wider trade area with its retail and wholesale home furnishings and appliance outlets. The commercial district also has several automobile-related businesses. Eating and drinking establishments contribute to the street’s mixed-use character and activity in the evening hours. Some upper-story professional and business offices are located in the district, some in converted residential units.

What is the maximum height for 1688 15th St ?

55-X

The height of a dwelling cannot exceed 55 feet.

To support taller ground floor ceilings for commercial and active uses, improve light and air in ground-level spaces, allow slightly elevated walk-up residential units for better privacy and front stoop usability, and enhance building frontages along public streets, an extra 5 feet of height is permitted along major streets.

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 1688 15th St located in?

Inner Mission, San Francisco

The Inner Mission, District 9c, is a Mission District microhood bounded on two sides by highway 101, Dolores Street (where it borders the Mission Dolores and Noe Valley neighborhoods), and Cesar Chavez Street, where it borders Bernal Heights.

Located near the center of the City, the Inner Mission is bikeable, walkable, and has great public transportation, including two BART stations, freeway access, and bus lines.

One reason the Inner Mission is cool is because it’s hot — compared to the rest of foggy San Francisco, that is. People also love the area because it’s at the apex of all that is happening in the tech economy and culturally, including a vibrant café culture, great nightlife, an eclectic mix of new developments and classic, older San Francisco architecture.
