2013.0369V: 385 IVY STREET, Lot
016A in Assessor's Block 0808 in a HAYES NCT(Hayes-Gough Neighborhood
Commercial Transit District) Zoning District and a 40-X Height and Bulk
District.
REAR YARD
AND OPEN SPACE VARIANCES SOUGHT: The proposal is to convert an
administrative service office use to two residential units. The subject
building was originally constructed as residential units in 1908, but was later
converted to an office use in 1981. The proposal does not include any exterior
modifications.
PER SECTION 134 OF THE PLANNING CODE, a 15'-0" rear yard is required for
residential units on the subject property. The subject property, with a
13'-0" rear yard, does not comply with the rear yard requirement for
residential units; therefore, a variance is required for the conversion to
residential units.
PER SECTION 135 OF THE PLANNING CODE, each dwelling unit requires 60 square
feet of open space if private or a total of 160 square feet of common open
space. The proposal provides the required amount of open space in the rear
yard; however, this space does not meet the minimum dimensions required by the
Planning Code. Therefore, a variance is required.
ARCHITECTURAL PLANS: The site
plan and elevations of the proposed project are available on the Planning
Department’s website at: http://sf-planning.org/ftp/files/notice/2013.0369V.pdf.

2011.0161V: 250 URBANO DRIVE, Lot 013
in Assessor's Block 6913 in a RH-1(D)(Residential- House, One Family- Detached)
Zoning District and a 40-X Height and Bulk District.
REAR YARD
VARIANCE SOUGHT: The project is to construct a detached two-car garage structure
(19' wide by 19' deep) at the rear of the lot to serve as off-street parking to
an existing single-family dwelling located at the front of the property.
PER SECTION 134 OF THE PLANNING CODE the subject property is required to
maintain a rear yard of approximately 30'-0". The proposed detached
two-car garage structure would be located approximately 5' from the rear
property line and 5' from the west side property line. Therefore, the proposed
two-car garage structure requires a variance from the rear yard requirement.

PLANS: The site plan and elevations of the proposed project are available

001D in Assessor's Block 0612 in a RH-2(Residential- House, Two Family) Zoning
District and a 40-X Height and Bulk District.
REAR YARD
VARIANCE SOUGHT: The proposal is to construct a three-story addition (approximately
20 feet deep by 4 feet wide) within a side notch at the rear of the two-story
over basement, single-family dwelling (along the south side property line).
The project also includes a new garage, curb cut, ramp, window/door
replacements at the rear, deck repair, new skylights, and interior work which
are not part of the variance request.
PER SECTION 134 OF THE PLANNING CODE the approximately 69-foot deep subject
property requires a rear yard of approximately 17 feet. The proposed addition
would encroach approximately six feet into the required rear yard.

in Assessor's Block 3640 in a RH-2(Residential- House, Two Family) Zoning
District and a 40-X Height and Bulk District.
REAR YARD
VARIANCE SOUGHT: The proposal is to change the use of an existing noncomplying rear
structure, measuring 10 feet 3 inches deep by 30 feet wide (constructed between
1920 and 1950) from a utility shed to an accessory habitable space. Work
includes the repair and renovation of the building interior and installation of
a bathroom with shower. No building expansion is proposed.
PER SECTION 134 OF THE PLANNING CODE the subject property is required to
maintain a rear yard of approximately 55 feet. The rear yard measures
approximately 64 feet from the rear property line. The rear structure is
located entirely in the rear yard, on the rear property line. The
intensification of an existing noncomplying rear structure to habitable space
requires a variance.

in Assessor's Block 0634 in a FILLMORE (Fillmore Street Neighborhood
Commercial) Zoning District and a 40-X Height and Bulk District.
REAR YARD
MODIFICATION VARIANCE SOUGHT: The project proposes construction
of two (2) new four-story, two-unit buildings, one at each street frontage of
the subject through lot.
PLANNING CODE SECTION 134 requires a rear yard of 30 feet at the second story
and above. The project proposes construction of a four-story, two-unit
building within the last 30 feet of lot depth (along Perine Place). As two
buildings are proposed to be constructed on the lot - one fronting California
Street and one fronting Perine Place - an equivalent 30-foot deep rear yard
area is proposed between the new structures; therefore, the project requires a
rear yard modification.

in Assessor's Block 5670 in a RH-2(Residential- House, Two Family) Zoning
District and a 40-X Height and Bulk District.
REAR YARD
VARIANCE SOUGHT: The proposal is to replace an existing noncomplying deck and stairs
with a new noncomplying deck and stairs of slightly larger size at the second
story of an existing single family residence.
PLANNING CODE SECTION 134 requires rear yard of 31 feet 6 inches for the
subject property. The existing building encroaches 6 feet 6 inches into the
required rear yard with the existing deck and stairs encroaching an additional
9 feet 2 inches into the required rear yard, resulting in a rear yard of
approximately 16 feet. The proposed deck and stairs will not extend into the
required rear yard any further than the existing deck and stairs; however, they
will be approximately 3 feet 6 inches wider than the existing deck and stairs.
The replacement and expansion of the deck and stairs requires a variance.

in Assessor's Block 0967 in a RH-1(Residential- House, One Family) Zoning District
and a 40-X Height and Bulk District.
REAR YARD
VARIANCE SOUGHT: The proposal is to construct a deck approximately 5 feet above
grade at the rear of the four-story, single-family house. The proposed 357
square-foot deck would extend approximately 13 feet into the rear yard at the
second floor level and be approximately 5 feet above grade.
SECTION 134 OF THE PLANNING CODE requires a minimum rear yard depth of
approximately 20 feet for the subject property, measured from the rear property
line. The subject property currently provides a 17 foot rear yard. The
proposed deck would extend 13 feet into the required rear yard, providing a
rear yard of approximately 4 feet depth for the subject property.

in Assessor's Block 2802 in a RH-2(Residential- House, Two Family) Zoning
District and a 40-X Height and Bulk District.
REAR YARD
VARIANCE SOUGHT: The proposal is to construct a one-story addition at the rear of
the existing single-family dwelling. The addition would measure approximately
11 feet in depth, 11.5 feet in height above grade, and include a roof deck on
top.
PER SECTION 134 OF THE PLANNING CODE the subject property is required to
maintain a rear yard of approximately 41 feet. The existing building
encroaches approximately 13 feet into the required rear yard and the proposed
horizontal addition would extend an additional 11 feet into the required rear
yard (to within 17 feet of the rear property line); therefore, the project requires
a variance from the rear yard requirement of the Planning Code.

in Assessor's Block 3651 in a 24TH-NOE (24Th Street- Noe Valley Neighborhood
Commercial) Zoning District and a 40-X Height and Bulk District.
REAR YARD
MODIFICATION VARIANCE SOUGHT: The proposal is to construct a
new four-story over basement mixed-use building with three dwelling units and
ground floor commercial space.
PER PLANNING CODE SECTIONS 134, the subject property is required to maintain a
rear yard equal to 25% of the depth of the lot on all levels of the building,
or 28.5 feet for the subject lot. The proposed building will extend 21 feet
into the required rear yard at the ground and basement levels, resulting in a 7.5-foot
rear yard at those levels; therefore, the project requires a rear yard
modification.

in Assessor's Block 0972 in a RH-1 (Residential, House, One-Family) Zoning
District and a 40-X Height and Bulk District.
REAR YARD
VARIANCE SOUGHT: The proposal is to legalize horizontal additions that were
constructed without benefit of permit at the rear of the 3-story, single-family
house.
The project includes construction of a rear deck with solid north and west
property line fences to a height of approximately 15 feet above grade,
horizontal additions around the ground-floor bay windows, an approximately 2'
by 9' horizontal addition at the second floor and an approximately 3' x 6'
horizontal addition at the north side of the third floor.
PLANNING CODE SECTION 134 requires a rear yard depth of approximately 17 feet
for the subject property. The deck and property line fence extend to the rear
property line and encroach into the required rear yard. The ground, second and
third floor enlargements would extend to within approximately 12 feet of the
rear property line and encroach into the required rear yard. Therefore, a
variance is required for the project.

in Assessor's Block 0439A in a RH-1 (Residential- House, One Family) Zoning
District and a 40-X Height and Bulk District.
REAR YARD
VARIANCE SOUGHT: The proposal is to construct a horizontal addition to the ground
floor under existing habitable space and deck at the rear of the single-family
dwelling. The proposed addition would be approximately 12 feet deep by 23 feet
wide and would be partially located within the required rear yard. The project
also proposes to merge the existing two dwelling units into a single unit,
which qualifies for administrative approval under Case No. 2013.0155D.
PER SECTION 134 OF THE PLANNING CODE the subject property is required to
maintain a rear yard of approximately 26 feet, 6 inches. The addition would
extend approximately 7 feet into the required rear yard; therefore, a variance
is required.
