RM-3 districts may include some smaller buildings compared to RM-1 and RM-2 districts, but they are primarily made up of apartment complexes with six, eight, ten, or more units.
The number of residential units in the RM-3 district is calculated based on the size of the lot. The minimum allowed is 3 units per lot, or 1 unit for every 533 sq ft of lot area, whichever is greater. The maximum allowed is 1 unit for every 400 sq ft of lot area.
Not allowed if it’s below the minimum density specified in the municipal code.
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.
Most of these districts are located near downtown and have been developed in this manner for quite some time.
The primary use of the Residential - Mixed, Medium Density zone is residential. 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, dwelling units, student housing, senior housing, group housing, and homeless shelter.
Permitted Non-Residential Uses: Agriculture, passive outdoor recreation, child care facility, public facilities, and residential care facility.
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.
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
The neighborhood features mid-century modern homes arranged in rows on terraced streets, surrounded by greenbelts, forests, reservoirs, and open space.
The land occupied by Midtown Terrace (approximately 150 acres) was once part of Rancho San Miguel, a large 4,400-acre parcel originally granted in 1846 to Don Jose de Jesus Noe, the first mayor of Yerba Buena (the pre-cursor to San Francisco). The land then changed hands several times, with ownership eventually being acquired by Adolph Sutro, a prominent engineer and developer and San Francisco's mayor from 1894 to 1896. To transform its "bleak" appearance, Sutro had eucalyptus trees planted on a significant portion of his property, which eventually became Sutro Forest. After Sutro's death in 1898, family squabbles and legal battles ensued over the land. His heirs eventually sold the area to developers and the various West of Twin Peaks neighborhoods began to take shape, being built on the "City Beautiful" concept of landscaped residential parks featuring detached single family homes.
