Not true. I posted the Planning Department's explanation above (post #13). Formula retail is outright banned, "As of May 2011, . . . in the Hayes-Gough NCD, North Beach NCD, and Chinatown Visitor Retail district" at least. On most other neighborhood shopping streets it is conditional use as you describe.
