A Special Use District entitled the Jewish Home of San Francisco Special Use District (“District”), the boundaries of which are shown on Special Use District Map SU11 of the Zoning Map of the City and County of San Francisco, is hereby established for the purposes set out below.
(a) Purpose. The purpose of the District is to facilitate the provision of a Residential Care Facility for the elderly, accomplished by augmenting existing residential care facilities with additional residential care facility and supportive uses, beyond those typically permitted within a Residential Care Facility, as defined in Planning Code Section 102, that will provide a comprehensive array of programs, services, and levels of housing and care to reach a broader spectrum of the senior population, including both resident and non-resident seniors. The District will facilitate an institutional development pattern appropriate for a Residential Care Facility for the elderly, while also respecting the surrounding neighborhood context. To achieve this purpose, this District will:
(1) Provide skilled nursing facilities and licensed residential care facilities for the elderly, and
(2) Provide a range of uses and services to residents, visitors, employees, and the general public. Such uses may be accessory to the Residential Care Facility, or may be principal uses, when permitted. These uses may include Health Service Uses (including but not limited to medical office, laboratories and outpatient clinics); acute care psychiatric hospital uses; other Institutional Uses (including but not limited to religious facilities, adult day care, assembly and social services); Personal Services; administrative office space; and Retail Uses.
(1) Accessory Uses. In this District, exceptions from otherwise applicable requirements of the Planning Code may be appropriate to further the goals set forth in this Section 249.73. Accessory uses within this District shall be governed by Planning Code Section 703(d). Outpatient services, acute care psychiatric hospital uses, and all other uses listed in Section 249.73(a)(2) shall be permitted as Accessory Uses and may be made available to non-resident seniors.
(2) Non-Residential Uses. In this District, exceptions from otherwise applicable requirements of the Planning Code may be appropriate to further the goals set forth in this Section 249.73 to provide care for the elderly. In addition to the uses that are otherwise permitted as principal or conditional uses in the RH-2 Zoning District, Non-Residential uses permitted within the Excelsior Outer Mission Street Neighborhood Commercial District shall also be permitted as a Planned Unit Development modification pursuant to Planning Code Section 304(d)(5), provided, however, that such uses shall not be limited to serving only residents of the immediate vicinity.
(3) Floor Area Ratio. The permitted floor area ratio for any individual lot within the District shall not exceed 2.1:1; provided, however, the cumulative floor area ratio for the entire District shall not exceed 1.8:1.
(4) Rear Yards. The rear yard requirements of Planning Code Section 134 shall not apply to any Non-Residential use within this District.
(5) Off-Street Automobile Parking. No more than a total of 224 off-street accessory parking spaces may be permitted within this Special Use District, provided that any parking proposed above the 224 parking space maximum shall not be considered accessory parking but as a principal use that shall require conditional use authorization. In considering an application for a conditional use for any such parking, the Planning Commission shall consider the criteria set forth in Section 157 of this Code.
(6) Signs. Signage shall be regulated as provided in Section 607.1 of this Code for an NC-3 District, except that up to four identifying signs within the District shall be permitted, and the height of wall signs shall not exceed 30 feet on the wall to which the sign is attached.
