Where is an apartment building (multifamily housing) allowed in San Bruno?

Find your lot's zone on the city zoning map, then read its row. Every status below was read from the San Bruno Municipal Code use tables (read October 2026). Base zones only. General information, not legal advice — check with the city before you apply.

San Bruno's code calls this use “Multifamily Homes”. Each row links to the use table it comes from. A zone marked “see note” has a condition in the code, for example upper floors only or a larger lot.

• State law: State laws such as AB 2011, SB 6 and the density bonus law can allow homes on some commercial sites, or more units than this table shows.
• Not covered here: The packet holds only the mixed-use zones (CBD, TOD-S, TOD-1, TOD-2, MX-R) and the Bayhill specific plan districts. The citywide residential (R-1, R-2, etc.), commercial and industrial district use tables are NOT in the packet, so every page built from these cells covers mixed-use zones only.. Overlay zones and specific plans can also change the answer.
