RH-3 districts are similar to RH-2 districts, but it's more common to find buildings with 3 units alongside one and two-family homes. These areas are mainly made up of large flats rather than apartment-style housing, with each unit typically having its own separate entrance.
The number of residential units in the RH-3 district is calculated based on the size of the lot, but it cannot exceed 3 dwelling units 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.
These districts are predominantly made up of large flats rather than apartments. Building styles are varied but generally complementary. Outdoor space is available at ground level, as well as on decks and balconies for individual units. Nonresidential uses are more common here than in RH-2 districts.
The primary use of the Residential - House, Three -Family zone is residential. The Permitted uses listed below show that additional land uses may be allowed in this zone.
Permitted Residential uses: ADU, single room occupancy, student housing, senior housing, and residential dwelling units
Permitted Non-Residential uses: Agriculture, neighborhood or passive outdoor recreation, childcare 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 North Panhandle neighborhood has quickly become a household name in San Francisco, although it is better known as NoPa.
NoPa is a tiny section carved out of the larger Western Addition neighborhood. It’s named after its location, the streets sitting north of the panhandle (the narrow eastern strip of Golden Gate Park). It’s a trendy area with popular, highly rated bars and restaurants along Divisadero Street, its eastern border, and rising costs because of its prime central location within the city. You’ll also find college students in the area, as the University of San Francisco makes up the neighborhood’s western border.
It’s easily walkable to other neighborhoods like Haight-Ashbury, the Lower Haight, Hayes Valley, or to daily conveniences like Target and Trader Joe’s. Plus, the college residents in the area make for an abundance of babysitting options.
