In CCB districts, housing development is encouraged on the upper stories of new buildings. Existing housing is protected through restrictions on demolitions and upper-story conversions.
The number of residential units in the CCB 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 zoning district is intended to protect existing housing, encourage new housing, and accommodate modest expansion of Chinatown business activities as well as street-level retail uses. The size of individual professional or business office use is limited in order to prevent these areas from being used to accommodate larger office uses spilling over from the financial district. Housing development in new buildings is encouraged on upper stories. Existing housing is protected by limitations on demolitions and upper-story conversions.
The primary use of the Chinatown Community Business zone is commercial. 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, dwelling unit, group housing and homeless shelters, and senior housing.
Permitted Non-Residential Uses: Open space, walk-up facility, agriculture (neighborhood), entertainment (general), entertainment (nighttime), movie theater, hospital, hotel, trade office, and wireless telecommunications services facility.
The height of a dwelling cannot exceed 50 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
