The buildings and useshere are designed to accommodate the increased levelof auto traffic at this node. Along Divisadero the streetwall of intricate building facades in adjacent sub-areasto south and north, is broken by gas stations and a carwash located at three corners in this zone. The useof these parcels is with a building type that is set faraway from the curb line and occupies only portions ofthe sites, the remainder dedicated to parking and othercar staging areas. These uses also necessitate largecurb cuts in the sidewalk to provide for the ingress andegress of vehicles. This high volume of automobile trafficcrossing the sidewalk creates a distinct, some wouldsay uncomfortable, pedestrian experience in this zone.A busy commercial paint store is located on anothercorner in this sub-zone. It has a fairly continuous flowof contractor vehicles into the rear parking lot, and it isalso a meeting place for day laborers and thus a pointof pedestrian traffic and automobiles slowing to pick-upand drop off at the curb.TotalAuto 4Bar / Club 0Entertainment 0FIRE 0Grocery / Market 0Hotel 0Institutional & Religious 0Liquor Only 0Medical 0Nonprofit Service Provider 0Personal Services 1Professional Services 1Restaurant / Cafe / Eatery 0Retail - New 1Retail - Used 0Vacant Space 011Zone II
