This sub-areahas a diverse grouping of parcel sizes and uses. Bothsides of the street have an unbroken building façadestreet wall along Divisadero, and an eclectic mix of architecturalstyles side by side. The majority of the area hasa rhythm of business frontages that is similar to the firstsub-zone near Haight street, but at some points singlefaçades extend for fifty or sixty feet (eg. currently vacantHarding Theater) creating in a few locations a less welcoming“blank wall” pedestrian experience. The largestsingle use in this section of the corridor is the IndependentTheater, an active live performance venue that hasa regional draw and drives most of the late night activityin this area. Lighting conditions in this zone are consistentwith the rest of the study area consisting of tallcobra-headed lights in the center median of the street.Cross traffic at Grove is controlled by a stop sign onlywhile all other intersections are light controlled. Withthe high traffic volume along Divisadero, a pedestrianmust use extra caution at this point.12Zone III
