In any District, one Dwelling Unit to serve as the residence of a manager and the manager’s household shall be permitted as an Accessory Use for any permitted Hotel, Motel or Group Housing structure, without any such structure being classified as a dwelling for purposes of this Code due to the presence of such Dwelling Unit.

In any NC, RC, C, M, PDR, DTR, or Eastern Neighborhoods Mixed Use District, except for properties within the Western SoMa Special Use District, Dwelling Units that are integrated with the working space of artists, artisans and other craftspersons shall be permitted as an Accessory Use to such working space,

when such Dwelling Units are occupied by a group of persons including no more than four adults, and where the occupancy meets all applicable provisions of the Building Code and Housing Code.

(1) In PDR and WMUG Districts, Dwelling Units permitted by Section 204.4(b) may not represent more than onefourth of the total floor area occupied by such use and the Principal Use to which it is accessory.

In any M or PDR District, one Dwelling Unit or other form of habitation to serve as the residence of a caretaker and the caretaker’s household shall be permitted as an Accessory Use for any permitted Principal or Conditional Use in such district, where the operation of such use necessitates location of such residence in such district.
