What are the local zoning regulations for 2135 Sutter St ?

NC-2 (NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL - SMALL SCALE)

In NC-2 districts, new housing is encouraged on upper floors of new buildings, while existing residential units are protected through restrictions on demolitions and conversions above the ground level.

The number of residential units in the NC-2 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 to serve as the City's Small-Scale Neighborhood Commercial District. These districts are linear shopping streets which provide convenience goods and services to the surrounding neighborhoods as well as limited comparison shopping goods for a wider market. The range of comparison goods and services offered is varied and often includes specialty retail stores, restaurants, and neighborhood-serving offices. NC-2 Districts are commonly located along both collector and arterial streets, which have transit routes.

Permitted Residential Uses: ADU, single room occupancy, student housing, residential uses, dwelling units, senior housing, group housing, and homeless shelters.

What is the maximum height for 2135 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.
