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.

It must have its own entrance, an efficiency kitchen, and can either share or have separate sanitation facilities.

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.

Hayes Valley is a cool, revitalized neighborhood in the Western Addition. The main commercial stretch, Hayes Street, teems with upscale boutiques for designer fashions and home decor, plus dessert shops, chill watering holes and a wide array of on-trend restaurants. The close-knit neighborhood features a community garden, a pocket park with art installations, and access to music and theater near the Civic Center.
Hayes Valley south of McAllister Street was spared the fires that followed the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. It was a multi-ethnic neighborhood, becoming, with the blossoming of the Fillmore district after World War II, an African-American neighborhood. As recently as the mid-1985, this neighborhood (and, indeed, the Western Addition in general) was considered one of the most dangerous places in the Bay Area.
