In NCD-North Beach districts, housing development in new buildings is encouraged above the ground floor to maintain the district's mixed-use character. Existing residential units are protected through restrictions on upper-story conversions, mergers, removals, and demolitions.
The number of residential units in the NCD-North Beach district is calculated based on the size of the lot, but it cannot exceed 1 dwelling unit 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.
This district is designed to ensure the livability and attractiveness of North Beach. Building standards limit new development to a small to moderate scale. Rear yards are protected above the ground story and at residential levels. Active commercial uses shall be required on the ground floor. Small-scale, neighborhood-serving businesses are strongly encouraged, and formula retail uses are prohibited.
The primary use of the North Beach Neighborhood Commercial zone is mixed-use. 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, residential uses, dwelling units, senior housing, group housing, and homeless shelters.
Permitted Non-Residential Uses: walk-up facility, agriculture (neighborhood), arts activities, general entertainment, movie theater, child care facility, community facility, public facilities, residential care facility, social service or philanthropic facility, animal hospital, grocery (general), restaurant, financial services, fringe financial services, limited financial services, retail professional services, trade shop and trade shop.
The height of a dwelling cannot exceed 40 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
