Code Section: 803.5(b)
Subject: Conversion of group housing in SOMA
Effective Date: 12/90
Interpretation:
This Section states that conversion of group housing or dwelling units in the SOMA to any other use would require a conditional use authorization. Such requirement for conditional use under this Section also extends to merging units of either group housing or regular dwelling units because this would constitute demolition. NOTE 1/5/96: This interpretation may not apply to the Neighborhood Commercial Districts despite the fact that the terms, "residential conversion" and "residential demolition" are identical in the definition sections for both the Mixed Use and Neighborhood Commercial Districts. This interpretation is based upon the wording of Section 803.5(b) rather than the definitions.
