What are the local zoning regulations for 479 10th St ?

SALI (SERVICE/ARTS/LIGHT INDUSTRIAL )

In SALI districts, residential dwelling units are not allowed.

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 largely comprised of low-scale buildings with production, distribution, and repair uses. The district is designed to protect and facilitate the expansion of existing general commercial, manufacturing, home and business service, and light manufacturing activities, with an emphasis on preserving and expanding arts activities.

The primary use of the Service/Arts/Light Industrial zone is industrial. The Permitted uses listed below show that additional land uses may be allowed in this zone.

Permitted Non-Residential Uses: Open air sales, outdoor activity area, walk-up facility, agricultural uses, automotive uses, automobile sale or rental, entertainment, arts and recreation uses, light manufacturing, institutional uses, medical cannabis dispensary, retail sales and service uses, animal hospital, cat boarding, kennel, mortuary, trade shop, non-retail sales and service, as well as utility and infrastructure uses.

What is the maximum height for 479 10th St ?

40/55-X

The height of a dwelling cannot exceed 55 feet.

In SALI Districts in the 40-55-X Height and Bulk District, buildings are limited to a maximum height of 40 feet unless all of the following criteria are met, in which case they may extend to a maximum height of 55 feet:

  • At least one Story of the Building, located on the First Story or above, is designated for the exclusive use of Arts Activities, and
  • Any such story dedicated to arts activities, regardless of its location within the building, shall have a minimum floor-to-floor height of 15 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.

What neighborhood is 479 10th St located in?

South of Market, San Francisco

“SoMa” refers most specifically to the section closest to the Mission, with the most restaurants and nightlife; “Yerba Buena” is in the middle, and is known for its density of museums and shopping; and "South Beach" is on the side next to the Bay (although there’s no beach to speak of) and is full of high-rises and not too much else. South Beach is quickly becoming its own neighborhood, but for now it falls under the general SoMa umbrella.

This area was once zoned primarily for commercial use and that history is still present in the lofts and apartments fashioned from converted warehouses and office space. On smaller side streets you’ll occasionally find a Victorian or a modern condominium. Brick walk-ups are common, as are high-rises; these tend to be more common the further west you go.
