In RH-1 (D) districts, the neighborhoods typically feature single-family homes with side yards.
The number of residential units in the RH-1(D) 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.
Structures in these districts are relatively large, often developed in sizable tracts with similar building styles and narrow streets that follow the contours of the hills. In some cases, private agreements have guided development and helped maintain the character of the street areas.
The primary use of the Residential - House, One-Family - Detached 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 (one unit per lot), intermediate length occupancy, single room occupancy, student housing, and senior housing.
Permitted Non-Residential Uses: Agriculture (neighborhood), passive outdoor recreation, child care facility, public facilities, residential care facility, limited commercial uses, limited corner commercial uses, and wireless telecommunications services 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
Located in the southwestern corner of San Francisco, St. Francis Wood is a prime example of the “Garden City” ideals of neighborhood planning popular at the turn of the 20th century. The Olmsted Brothers firm laid out the curving street plan as well as the neighborhood parks. John Galen Howard acted as the first supervising architect and also designed the entrance gates, the Circle fountain and other neighborhood infrastructure. Unlike many residential developments that offered only stock plans, St. Francis Wood developers encouraged houses designed by prominent architects for specific clients. Architects such as Julia Morgan, William Merchant and Gertrude Comfort Morrow and the landscape designs of Harry Shepherd are well represented here.
Today, landscape maintenance for the towering eucalyptus trees, lush greenbelts and gorgeous fountain and terraced plaza is managed by the very active homeowner's association. When it comes to pride of ownership, St. Francis Wood dwellers are in a class by themselves. Community standards set over a century ago dictated not only such quality of life issues as where one could park a horse, but also established a ban on businesses that continues today.
