In NCT-Glen Park districts, housing development in new buildings is encouraged on floors above the ground story. Accessory parking for residential and commercial uses is not required. Any new parking is required to be set back to support a pedestrian-friendly streetscape.
The number of residential units in the NCT-Glen Park 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 primarily along Diamond Street and Chenery Street, features predominantly two and three-story buildings with neighborhood-serving commercial and retail uses on lower floors and housing or offices above. Well-served by local and regional transit, the district, including the Glen Park BART station, maintains an intimate scale, walkability, and a "village" atmosphere. The controls aim to encourage human-scaled buildings with specialty retail stores, restaurants, and local offices. Height limits allow up to three and four stories, depending on the location, with preserved rear yard corridors. Commercial uses are promoted at the ground story, and retail frontages are protected by limiting curb cuts and requiring ground-floor commercial uses on specific streets. Housing development is encouraged above the ground story, with density controlled by dwelling unit standards, physical envelope controls, and unit mix requirements.
The primary use of the Neighborhood Commercial Transit - Glen Park 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, single room occupancy, student housing, residential uses, dwelling units, senior housing, group housing, and homeless shelters.
Permitted Non-Residential Uses: Agriculture (Neighborhood), arts activities, entertainment, general, institutional uses, child care facility, and community facility.
The height of a dwelling cannot exceed 30 feet.
To support taller ground floor ceilings for commercial and active uses, improve light and air in street-level spaces, allow walk-up residential units to be slightly elevated for added privacy and usable stoops, and enhance building frontages along public streets, buildings in NCT and designated areas of NC-1, NC-2, and NC-3 districts may include up to 5 additional feet of height along major streets, if they feature either increased ground floor ceiling heights for non-residential uses or raised walk-up residential units with direct sidewalk access.
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
Glen Park is a residential neighborhood in San Francisco, California, located south of Twin Peaks and adjacent to Glen Canyon Park.
The neighborhood is nestled at the southeastern edge of San Francisco's central hills, the San Miguel Range. It includes Gold Mine Hill, a portion of Fairmount Hill to the east, Martha Hill to the south, as well as their southern- and eastern-facing slopes. The neighborhood's streets follow the hill's contours to a small commercial district ("the Village") at the intersection of Chenery and Diamond streets.
