RED districts cover several clusters of low-scale, medium-density, primarily residential neighborhoods located along the narrow side streets of the South of Market area. Within these residential parts, there are numerous vacant parcels, parking lots, and properties used for open storage. These underdeveloped or undeveloped properties are seen as potential sites for new moderate-income infill housing.
The number of residential units in the RED 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.
This district includes clusters of low-rise, medium-density neighborhoods located on the narrow side streets of South of Market (SoMa). While these areas are mostly residential, they also have vacant lots, parking areas, and open storage spaces that are either undeveloped or underutilized. These properties are seen as great opportunities for new, moderate-income housing to fill in the gaps and add more homes to the neighborhood.
The primary use of the Residential Enclave Districts (RED) zone is residential. The Permitted uses listed below show that additional land uses may be allowed in this zone.
Permitted Residential Uses: ADU, dwelling units, and homeless shelter.
Permitted Non-Residential Uses: Open recreation area, child care facility, residential care facility.
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
“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.
