Del Norte, located between San Pablo Avenue and the El Cerrito Plaza area, is a residential and transit-oriented El Cerrito neighborhood with mid-century hillside homes and a walkable commercial edge. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the El Cerrito del Norte BART Station plaza and the San Pablo Avenue corridor, where taquerias, small groceries, and service storefronts set a steady, everyday rhythm. El Cerrito Natural Grocery anchors local errands with a long-running, community-minded market feel. Down the hill, El Cerrito Plaza and the El Cerrito Plaza BART Station add a second hub of shops and transit. Streets climb toward the hills with compact bungalows, split-levels, and bay-view blocks. Nearby green space at Hillside Natural Area and Canyon Trail Park frames the neighborhood with oak-lined paths and open sky.

RM
Multi-family Residential District
To provide opportunities for multi-family residential development in a well-designed environment at a density of 21 to 35 dwelling units per net acre. Additional density can be achieved through the approval of density bonuses and other incentives. The RM district is intended to be located in areas where higher traffic volumes and buildings can be accommodated. These developments should be located outside of single-family residential communities, and where services and transportation systems are adequate to serve the increased densities. The RM district is further intended to achieve design compatibility between new multi-family development and surrounding less intensive residential neighborhoods by establishing physical development standards and performance standards.
