(a) Purpose. Folsom Street is intended to be the main street of the Western SoMa neighborhood, with neighborhood-serving uses and a high-quality pedestrian environment. As such, it is important to allow for appropriate development heights while also maximizing light and air to the sidewalks, parks, plazas, and frontages along the street.
(b) Controls. In the Folsom Street NCT District, any portion of a building above 55 feet in height shall be set back at least 15 feet from any property line fronting Folsom Street, except for those features listed in Section 260(b) of this Code.
(a) Purpose. Buchanan Street between Post Street and Sutter Street is a pedestrian-only thoroughfare lined with both neighborhood- and regional-serving retail uses. This block of Buchanan Street contains seating areas and culturally significant street furnishings, such as lighting and fountains. As such, it is important to allow for appropriate development heights while also maximizing light and air to the street.
(b) Controls. Along Buchanan Street between Post Street and Sutter Street, the portion of any building above 35 feet in height shall be set back one foot in height from the front property line for every foot above 35 feet, except for those exemptions listed in Section 260(b) of this Code.
(a) The height limits established by this Article 2.5 shall apply to all signs regulated by this Code, except for Historic Signs and Vintage Signs defined in Section 602, and Historic Movie Theater Projecting Signs and Historic Movie Theater Marquees defined in Section 188(e) of this Code. No sign shall be erected, placed, replaced, reconstructed or relocated except in conformity with the provisions of this Article, whether such sign is freestanding or attached to a building or structure.
(b) The height of signs is also regulated by Article 6 of this Code, and in each case the most restrictive of the applicable height limitations shall prevail, except for Historic Signs, Vintage Signs, Historic Movie Theater Projecting Signs, and Historic Movie Theater Marquees which are exempt from height limits pursuant to Section 260 of this Code.
