What are the local zoning regulations for 432 Folsom St ?

TB DTR (TRANSBAY DOWNTOWN RESIDENTIAL)

The TB-DTR district is a high-density, primarily residential area located within walking distance of the downtown core, major transit hubs, and the waterfront. The vision for this district features a combination of widely spaced high-rise towers alongside a base layer of low- to mid-rise buildings that define the street, often incorporating ground-floor townhouses.

The number of residential units in the TB-DTR 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.

The main goal of this district is to transform publicly owned and underutilized parcels, particularly around the Transbay Terminal and former Embarcadero Freeway, into a high-density, predominantly residential area. Laid out in the Transbay Redevelopment Plan.

The primary use of the Transbay Downtown Residential zone is residential. The Permitted uses listed below show that additional land uses may be allowed in this zone.
