§ 742. COLE VALLEY NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL DISTRICTS.
Latest version.
- The Cole Valley Neighborhood Commercial District is located along Cole Street from Frederick to Grattan Streets and includes some parcels north of Carl Street and south of Parnassus. It is a local shopping district with a mix of retail uses in a residential neighborhood that is near a transit line.Building controls for the Cole Valley Neighborhood Commercial District promote low-intensity development which is compatible with the existing scale and character of the area. Commercial development is limited to one story. Rear yard requirements at all levels preserve existing backyard space.Commercial use provisions encourage the full range of neighborhood-serving convenience retail sales and services at the first story provided that the use size generally is limited to 3,000 square feet. However, commercial uses and features which could impact residential livability are prohibited, such as auto uses, financial services, general advertising signs, drive-up facilities, hotels, and late-night activity; eating and drinking establishments are restricted, depending upon the intensity of such uses in nearby commercial districts.Housing development in new buildings is encouraged above the ground story. Existing residential units are protected by prohibitions of conversions above the ground story and limitations on demolitions. Accessory Dwelling Units are permitted within the District pursuant to Sections 207(c)(4) and 207(c)(6) of this Code.Table 742.
