RC-3 districts allow for a mix of medium-density housing, similar to what can be found in RM-3 districts, along with supporting commercial uses.
The number of residential units in the RC-3 district is calculated based on the size of the lot, but it cannot exceed 3 dwelling units 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.
These Districts require open spaces for dwellings, similar to the requirements in RM-3 Districts.
The primary use of the Residential-Commercial, Medium Density zone is mixed-use. The Permitted uses listed below show that additional land uses may be allowed in this zone.
Permitted Residential Uses: ADU, intermediate length occupancy use, single room occupancy, student housing, homeless shelter, group housing, senior housing, and dwelling units.
Permitted Non-Residential Uses: Walk-up facility, child care facility, public facilities, hotel, residential care facility, trade school, mobile food facility, and hotel.
The height of a dwelling cannot exceed 65 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.
Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs), also called secondary units, in-law units, or cottages, are units added to existing and new residential buildings. Adding an ADU to your property can provide several benefits, such as providing housing for family members, simplifying your lifestyle, and increased financial flexibility.Learn more about building ADUs
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.
