It is hereby found that structures, sites and areas of special character or special historical, architectural or aesthetic interest or value have been and continue to be unnecessarily destroyed or impaired, despite the feasibility of preserving them. It is further found that the prevention of such needless destruction and impairment is essential to the health, safety and general welfare of the public. The purpose of this legislation is to promote the health, safety and general welfare of the public through: (a) The protection, enhancement, perpetuation and use of structures, sites and areas that are reminders of past eras, events and persons important in local, State or national history, or which provide significant examples of architectural styles of the past or are landmarks in the history of architecture, or which are unique and irreplaceable assets to the City and its

neighborhoods, or which provide for this and future generations examples of the physical surroundings in which past generations lived; (b) The development and maintenance of appropriate settings and environment for such structures, and in such sites and areas; (c) The enhancement of property values, the stabilization of neighborhoods and areas of the City, the increase of economic and financial benefits to the City and its inhabitants, and the promotion of tourist trade and interest; (d) The preservation and encouragement of a City of varied architectural styles, reflecting the distinct phases of its history: cultural, social, economic, political and architectural and (e) The enrichment of human life in its educational and cultural dimensions in order to serve spiritual as well as material needs, by fostering knowledge of the living heritage of the past.

Any such designation shall be in furtherance of and in conformance with the purposes of this Article 10 and the standards set forth herein. (c) The property included in any such designation shall upon designation be subject to the controls and standards set forth in this Article 10. In addition, the said property shall be subject to the following further controls and standards if imposed by the designating ordinance: (1) For a publicly-owned landmark, review of proposed changes to significant interior architectural features. (2) For a privately-owned landmark, review of proposed changes requiring a permit to significant interior architectural features in those areas of the landmark that are or historically have been accessible to members of the public.

(Added by Ord. 27-67, App. 1/26/67; amended by Ord. 94-12, File No. 120300, App. 5/21/2012, Eff. 6/20/2012) AMENDMENT HISTORY Section header amended; section amended in its entirety; Ord. 94-12, Eff. 6/20/2012.

Upon initiation of designation, the HPC shall hold a public hearing on the proposed designation.

Notice of the time, place and purpose of such hearing shall be given by at least one publication in a newspaper of general circulation in the City not less than 20 days prior to the date of hearing. Notice shall also be mailed not less than 10 days prior to the date of hearing to the owners of all property included in the proposed designation, using for this purpose the names and addresses of the last known owners as shown on the records of the Tax Collector and to the applicant, if any. Failure to send notice by mail to any such property owner where the address of such owner is not a matter of public record shall not invalidate any proceedings in connection with the proposed designation. The Department may also give such other notice as it may deem desirable and practicable. (b) Time Limitation. The HPC shall consider the conformance or lack of conformance of the proposed designation with the purposes and standards of this Article 10. Where the Board of Supervisors has referred an initiation of designation to the HPC, the HPC shall hold a public hearing and shall approve, disapprove or modify the proposal within 90 days from the date of referral of the proposed designation to the HPC. Failure to act within said time shall constitute approval. The Board of Supervisors may, by resolution, extend the time within which the HPC is to render its decision. (c) Referral of Proposed Designation. If the HPC recommends approval of a landmark designation, it shall send its recommendation to the Board of Supervisors, without referral to the Planning Commission. If the HPC recommends approval of a historic district designation, it shall refer its recommendation to the Planning Commission, which shall have 45 days to review and comment on the proposed designation, which comments, if any, shall be sent by the Department to the Board of Supervisors with the HPC's recommendation. The Planning Commission's comments shall be transmitted to the Board of Supervisors as a resolution and shall (i) address the consistency of the proposed designation with the policies embodied in the General Plan and the priority policies of Section 101.1, particularly the provision of housing to meet the City's Regional Housing Needs Allocation, and the provision of housing near transit corridors; (ii) identify any amendments to the General Plan necessary to facilitate adoption of the proposed designation; and (iii) evaluate whether the district would conflict with the Sustainable Communities Strategy for the Bay Area. If the HPC disapproves designation of a landmark or historic district, that decision shall be final and shall not require referral unless appealed as set forth below.

(a) No person shall carry out or cause to be carried out on a designated landmark site or in a designated historic district any construction, alteration, removal or demolition of a structure or any work involving a sign, awning, marquee, canopy, mural or other appendage, for which a City permit is required, except in conformity with the provisions of this Article 10. In addition, no such work shall take place unless all other applicable laws and regulations have been complied with, and any required permit has been issued for said work. (b) (1) Installation of a new general advertising sign is prohibited in any historic district or on any historic property regulated by this Article 10. (2) The Central Permit Bureau shall not issue, and no other City department or agency shall issue, any permit for construction, alteration, removal or demolition of a structure or any permit for work involving a sign, awning, marquee, canopy, mural or other appendage on a landmark site or in an historic district, except in conformity with the provisions of this Article 10. In addition, no such permit shall be issued unless all other applicable laws and regulations have been complied with. (c) Where so provided in the designating ordinance for a historic district, any or all exterior changes visible from a public street or other public place shall require approval in accordance with the provisions of this Article 10, regardless of whether or not a City permit is required for such exterior changes. Such exterior changes may include, but shall not be limited to, painting and repainting; landscaping; fencing; and installation of lighting fixtures and other building appendages. (2) The addition of a mural to any landmark or contributory structure in a historic district shall require compliance with the provisions of this Article 10, regardless of whether or not a City permit is required for the mural.

(d) The Department shall maintain with the Central Permit Bureau a current record of designated landmarks and historic districts. Upon receipt of any application for a permit to carry out any construction, alteration, removal or demolition of a structure or any work involving a sign, awning, marquee, canopy, mural or other appendage, on a landmark site or in a historic district, the Central Permit Bureau shall, unless the structure or feature concerned has been declared unsafe or dangerous pursuant to Section 1007 of this Article 10, promptly forward such permit application to the Department. (e) After receiving a permit application from the Central Permit Bureau in accordance with the preceding subsection, the Department shall ascertain whether a Certificate of Appropriateness is required or has been approved for the work proposed in such permit application. If a Certificate of Appropriateness is required and has been issued, and if the permit application conforms to the work approved in the Certificate of Appropriateness, the permit application shall be processed without further reference to this Article 10. If a Certificate of Appropriateness is required and has not been issued, or if the permit application does not conform to what was approved, the permit application shall be disapproved or held by the Department until such time as conformity does exist either through modifications to the proposed work or through the issuance of an amended or new Certificate of Appropriateness. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the following cases the Department shall process the permit application without further reference to this Article 10: (1) When the application is for a permit to construct on a landmark site where the landmark has been lawfully demolished and the site is not within a designated historic district; (2) When the application is for a permit to make interior alterations only on a privately-owned structure or on a publicly-owned structure, unless the designating ordinance requires review of such alterations to the privately- or publicly-owned structure pursuant to Section 1004(c) hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any proposed interior alteration requiring a permit would result in any significant visual or material impact to the exterior of the subject building, a Certificate of Appropriateness shall be required to address such exterior effects; (3) When the application is for a permit to do ordinary maintenance and repairs only. For the purpose of this Article 10, "ordinary maintenance and repairs" shall mean any work, the sole purpose and effect of which is to correct deterioration, decay or damage of existing materials, including repair of damage caused by fire or other disaster; (4) When the application is for a permit to maintain, repair, rehabilitate, or improve streets and sidewalks, including sidewalk widening, accessibility, and bulb-outs, unless such streets and sidewalks have been explicitly called out in a landmark’s or district’s designating ordinance as character defining features of the landmark or district; (5) When the application is for a permit to alter a landing or install a power-assist operator to provide an accessible entrance to a landmark or district, provided that the improvements conform to the requirements outlined in Section 1006.6;

(f) For purposes of this Article 10, demolition shall be defined as any one of the following: (1) Removal of more than 25 percent of the surface of all external walls facing a public street(s); or (2) Removal of more than 50 percent of all external walls from their function as all external walls; or (3) Removal of more than 25 percent of external walls from function as either external or internal walls; or (4) Removal of more than 75 percent of the building's existing internal structural framework or floor plates unless the City determines that such removal is the only feasible means to meet the standards for seismic load and forces of the latest adopted version of the San Francisco Building Code and the State Historical Building Code. (g) The following procedures shall govern review of the addition of murals to any landmark or contributory structure in a historic district: (1) Where the mural is proposed to be added to a landmark or contributory structure in a historic district, located on property owned by the City, no Certificate of Appropriateness shall be required. On such structures, the Art Commission shall not approve the mural until the HPC has provided advice to the Art Commission on the impact of the mural on the historical structure. The HPC shall provide advice to the Art Commission within 45 days of receipt of a written request for advice and information regarding the placement, size and location of the proposed mural; (2) Where the mural is proposed to be added to a landmark or contributory structure in a historic district, located on property that is not owned by the City, a Certificate of Appropriateness shall be required.

If either body fails to act on any such local interpretation or guideline within 180 days of either body's initial hearing where the matter was considered for approval, such failure to act shall constitute approval by that body. In the case of any apparent inconsistency among the requirements of this Section, compliance with the requirements of the designating ordinance shall prevail. (c) For applications pertaining to landmark sites, the proposed work shall preserve, enhance or restore, and shall not damage or destroy, the exterior architectural features of the landmark and, where specified in the designating ordinance pursuant to Section 1004(c), its major interior architectural features. The proposed work shall not adversely affect the special character or special historical, architectural or aesthetic interest or value of the landmark and its site, as viewed both in themselves and in their setting, nor of the historic district in applicable cases. (d) For applications pertaining to property in historic districts, other than on a designated landmark site, any new construction, addition or exterior change shall be compatible with the character of the historic district as described in the designating ordinance; and, in any exterior change, reasonable efforts shall be made to preserve, enhance or restore, and not to damage or destroy, the exterior architectural features of the subject property which are compatible with the character of the historic district. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for any exterior change where the subject property is not already compatible with the character of the historic district, reasonable efforts shall be made to produce compatibility, and in no event shall there be a greater deviation from compatibility. Where the required compatibility exists, the application for a Certificate of Appropriateness shall be approved. (e) For applications pertaining to all property in historic districts, the proposed work shall also conform to such further standards as may be embodied in the ordinance designating the historic district. (f) For applications pertaining to the addition of murals on a landmark or contributory structure in a historic district, the HPC shall consider only the placement, size and location of the mural, to determine whether the mural covers or obscures significant architectural features of the landmark or contributory structure. For purposes of review under this Article 10, the City shall not consider the content or artistic merit of the mural.

(a) Right of Appeal. The HPC's or the Planning Commission's decision on a Certificate of Appropriateness shall be final unless appealed to the Board of Appeals, which may modify the decision by a 4/5 vote; provided however, that if the project requires Board of Supervisors approval or is appealed to the Board of Supervisors as a conditional use authorization, the decision shall not be appealed to the Board of Appeals but rather to the Board of Supervisors, which may modify the decision by a majority vote. Any certificate of Appropriateness so appealed shall not become effective unless and until approved by the Board of Appeals or Board of Supervisors in accordance with this Section. Nothing in this Section shall be construed to authorize the appeal of any decision under Section 1006.5 of this Article 10 to suspend action on an application. (b) Notice of Appeal. Any appeal under this Section shall be taken by filing written notice of appeal with the Board of Appeals or Clerk of the Board of Supervisors, whichever entity is appropriate under the requirements of subsection (a), within 30 days after the date of action by the HPC or Planning Commission.

The Board of Appeals or the Board of Supervisors must decide such appeal within 30 days of the time set for the hearing thereon; provided that, if the full membership of the board hearing the appeal is not present on the last day on which the appeal is set or continued for hearing within said period, the board may postpone the hearing and decision thereon until, but not later than, the full membership of the board is present; provided, further, that the latest date to which said hearing and decision may be so postponed shall be not more than 90 days from the date of filing of the appeal. Failure of the Board of Appeals or the Board of Supervisors to act within such time limit shall be deemed to constitute approval by the Board of the decision of the HPC or Planning Commission. (d) Decisions Affecting City Hall. The provisions of this Subsection shall govern decisions by the HPC on a Certificate of Appropriateness for alteration work to be done at City Hall, in lieu of any other provision set forth above.

Beginning with Landmark No. 247, the table shows the legislative history of each landmark. The history note above pertains to landmarks included in the table prior to the designation of Landmark 247. The legislative histories of amendments made after 2006 to existing landmarks are noted in the table. APPENDIX B TO ARTICLE 10 - JACKSON SQUARE HISTORIC DISTRICT SEC. 1. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES. The Board of Supervisors finds that the area known and described in this ordinance as Jackson Square contains a number of structures having a special character and special historical, architectural and aesthetic interest and value and constitutes a distinct section of the City. The Board of Supervisors further finds that designation of said area as a Historic District will be in furtherance of and in conformance with the purposes of Article 10 of the City Planning Code and the standards set forth therein, and that preservation on an area basis rather than on the basis of individual structures alone is required in order to prevent the needless destruction and impairment of Jackson Square.

This ordinance is intended to further the general purpose of historic preservation legislation as set forth in Section 1001 of the City Planning Code, to promote the health, safety and general welfare of the public through: (a) The protection, enhancement, perpetuation and use of structures, sites and areas that are reminders of past eras, events and persons important in local, State or national history, or which provide significant examples of architectural styles of the past or are landmarks in the history of architecture, or which are unique and irreplaceable assets to the City and its neighborhoods, or which provide for this and future generations examples of the physical surroundings in which past generations lived; (b) The development and maintenance of appropriate settings and environment for such structures, and in such sites and areas; (c) The enhancement of property values, the stabilization of neighborhoods and areas of the City, the increase of economic and financial benefits to the City and its inhabitants, and the promotion of tourist trade and interest; (d) The preservation and encouragement of a City of varied architectural styles, reflecting the distinct phases of its history: Cultural, social, economic, political and architectural; and (e) The enrichment of human life in its educational and cultural dimensions in order to serve spiritual as well as material needs, by fostering knowledge of the living heritage of the past. In addition, this ordinance is intended to maintain the scale and basic character of Jackson Square, through: (a) Protection and preservation of the basic characteristics and salient architectural details of structures insofar as these characteristics and details are compatible with the Historic District; (b) Affording the widest possible scope for continuing vitality through private renewal and architectural creativity, within appropriate controls and standards. It is intended to foster a climate in which Jackson Square may continue to exist as a living, changing commercial area and not a static museum; (c) Encouragement of the development of vacant and incompatibly developed properties in accordance with the character of the area; (d) Encouragement of maximum use by and convenience to pedestrians. (Added Ord. 221-72, App. 8/9/72) SEC. 2. DESIGNATION. Pursuant to Section 1004 of the City Planning Code, Chapter II, Part II of the San Francisco Municipal Code, Jackson Square is hereby designated as a Historic District, this designation having been duly approved by resolution of the City Planning Commission. (Added Ord. 221-72, App. 8/9/72) SEC. 3. LOCATION AND BOUNDARIES. The location and boundaries of the Jackson Square Historic District shall be as designated on the Jackson Square Historic District Map, the original of which is on file with the Clerk of the board of Supervisors under File No. 276-72, which Map is hereby incorporated herein as though fully set forth. (Added Ord. 221-72, App. 8/9/72) SEC. 4. RELATION TO CITY PLANNING CODE. (a) Article 10 of the City Planning Code is the basic law governing historic preservation in the City and County of San Francisco. This ordinance, being a specific application of Article 10, is both subject to and in addition to the provisions thereof. (b) Except as may be specifically provided to the contrary in this ordinance, nothing in this ordinance shall supersede, impair or modify any City Planning Code provisions applicable to property in Jackson Square, including but not limited to existing and future regulations controlling uses, height, bulk, coverage, floor area ratio, required open space, off-street parking and signs. (Added Ord. 221-72, App. 8/9/72) SEC. 5. JUSTIFICATION. The characteristics of the said Historic District justifying its designation are as follows: (a) History of the Area. The Historic District contains virtually the sole surviving commercial buildings from the 1850's and 1860's. In effect this area, in close proximity to Portsmouth Plaza where the major segment of the modern City began, was the central business district of these early times. Its waterfront location led to its use for mercantile and financial purposes, consulates and offices; and many distinguished men had businesses or property in the area, including General William Tecumseh Sherman, Colonel Jonathan Stevenson, James King of William, Mayors Charles Brenham and Ephraim Burr, Domingo Ghirardelli and Anson Hotaling, Paxon Dean Atherton, William Lent, Alexander Grogan and James de Fremery. The original waterline came to about Montgomery and Jackson Streets and the present district is partly on filled ground, some of the fill consisting of the hulls of ships abandoned in the rush to the gold fields. More than any other existing part of San Francisco, this area recalls the Gold and Silver era and the days of the Vigilante movement. The Barbary Coast, north of the original commercial area, had a somewhat different but noteworthy history. Although the present buildings do not date from the 19th century, many of them were rebuilt immediately after the 1906 Earthquake and Fire and embody the spirit and appearance of the earlier City. In fact, this area to the south of Telegraph Hill had an international reputation from the 1850's on. (b) Basic Nature of the Area. The Historic District includes historically and architecturally significant buildings ranging from the 1850's to the early years of the present century. The vast majority of buildings are under 40 feet in height. The area is large enough to be viable, but yet is compact. It is predominantly oriented to the pedestrian rather than the automobile. There is a healthy and vital mixture of activities. Interior streets are narrow and there are no major through arteries. Streetscapes are an important part of the District's character. (c) Architectural Character. There are common architect

r 40 feet in height. The area is large enough to be viable, but yet is compact. It is predominantly oriented to the pedestrian rather than the automobile. There is a healthy and vital mixture of activities. Interior streets are narrow and there are no major through arteries. Streetscapes are an important part of the District's character. (c) Architectural Character. There are common architectural features tying the area together and providing visual distinction and pleasure. These common elements, used throughout the District in varying patterns and emphases, pertain to overall form and continuity, scale and proportion, fenestration, materials, color, texture, detail and decorative features. A high quality of architecture of buildings and their features is well-distributed throughout the Historic District. Visual distinction is due in many cases to the original construction, often carefully restored, but in some cases it is due to thoughtful remodeling that captures the historic character of the District. (d) Uniqueness and Location. Jackson Square includes the City's only surviving early commercial area. Its distinct quality is further enhanced by a downtown location, affording an impressive contrast with the adjacent office core. (e) Visual and Functional Unity. The Historic District, within the selected boundaries, has an identifiable scale and common architectural features. Narrow interior streets, street trees, quiet alleys, pedestrian orientation and intimacy of view in most of the District also contribute to its visual unity, as does the contrast with surrounding areas. In terms of function, there has been a coalescence of commercial development, uses and exterior building treatment. (f) Dynamic Continuity. Jackson Square is a continually evolving commercial area, not a static museum. The area has proven its capacity for incremental adaptation to new uses. (g) Benefits to the City and its Residents. Economically, the area houses specialized enterprises which demand a unique, prestige location; and it is a vital part of the fabric of the historical City that attracts tourists and is actively promoted by the City for this very purpose. Culturally, it provides a strong historical and educational resource. Aesthetically, its architectural and visual appeal are immediate, while its value in terms of urban design within the City pattern as a whole is equally important. (Added Ord. 221-72, App. 8/9/72) SEC. 6. FEATURES. The exterior architectural features of the said Historic District that should be preserved are described and depicted in the Jackson Square Report dated June 1971, including the Facade Elevations and Descriptions therein, and the photographs, case reports and other material on file in the Department of City Planning in Docket No. LM72.1 (HD); the summary description being as follows:

Overall Form and Continuity.On interior streets, building height is generally well-related to street width. Buildings are typically two or three stories high at the street. Facades are continuous at the property line. Scale and Proportion.Ground floors are frequently high, some as much as 20 feet from street level, often with cornice separating them from upper floors, providing continuity along the street frontage. There is a regularity of overall form and proportion. On the ground floor this typically takes the form of bays closely spaced, 10 to 12 feet apart on center, with deep-set openings and inset entrances. Ground-floor treatment is definitely open in nature, with openings separated by narrow stripings or pillars of brick or cast iron. The open emphasis orients the ground floors toward the pedestrian, with attractive show windows. Fenestration.Glazing is deeply recessed, producing a strong interplay between light and shade. Protruding window frames are common. Windows are narrow and vertical in emphasis, rhythmically spaced, and match the bay spacing below and the shape and proportion of windows in nearby buildings. Door openings are frequently narrow and high. At the upper floors, the proportion of windows to solid wall is typically less than 50 percent. Materials.Standard brick masonry is pre-dominant, at times exposed and at times painted, with thick bearing walls. Some buildings are stuccoed over the brick and some are concrete. The sides of buildings are frequently of brick and form a significant part of the view from the street where they are higher than adjacent buildings. Cast iron is often used in details and decorative features, notably in pilasters. Iron shutters are also found. Color.Red brick is typical. Earth tones pre-dominate, with painted brick, where it occurs, typically in muted but not timid tones. Reds, browns, yellows, greens, grays and blues are found. Texture.Typical facing materials give a rough, textured appearance. Overall texture of the facades is fine-grained. Detail.Arches are common at ground floor, and frequently upper floors. Upper terminal cornices as well as lower cornices are typical, often heavy and projecting. Classical features predominate, including pediments, columns or pilasters, and parapets. Frequent exposed anchor plates are visible, holding in place the tie rods used to prevent the bearing walls from bulging. Decorative Features.Characteristic signs and awnings are modest in size, restrained in design, do not obscure building features, and are integrated into the facade. Sign lettering is generally tasteful. There are many attractive and appropriate light fixtures. Well-designed planter boxes provide welcome touches of greenery.

The procedures, requirements, controls and standards in Sections 1006 through 1006.8 of Article 10 of the City Planning Code shall apply to all applications for Certificates of Appropriateness in the Jackson Square Historic District. In addition, the following provisions shall apply to all such applications; in the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the following provisions and Article 10, those procedures, requirements, controls and standards affording stricter protection to landmarks, landmark sites and the Historic District shall prevail. (a) Character of the Historic District. The standards for review of all applications for Certificates of Appropriateness are as set forth in Section 1006.7 of Article 10. For the purposes of review pursuant to said standards, the "character of the Historic District" shall mean the exterior architectural features of the Jackson Square Historic District referred to and described in Section 6 of this ordinance. (b) Additional Standards for Certain Features. Facade line continuity is desirable. Therefore, setbacks and arcades, not generally being features of Jackson Square, should be carefully considered, but interior courts and interior pedestrian areas offer great potential. (c) Exterior Changes Requiring Approval. Regardless of whether or not a City permit is required, all exterior changes within the Jackson Square Historic District, visible from a public street or other public place, shall require approval pursuant to the provisions of Article 10 of the City Planning Code. Such exterior changes shall include, but shall not be limited to, painting and repainting; landscaping; fencing; and installation of lighting fixtures and other building appendages. (d) Demolition of Non-Landmarks. The provisions of this Subsection (d) shall apply to any proposed removal or demolition of a structure in the Jackson Square Historic District, other than on a designated landmark site. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, the Planning Commission shall not suspend action on an application for a Certificate of Appropriateness for any such proposed removal or demolition for a period in excess of the period specified in this Subsection, and the Board of Supervisors shall not extend any such period of suspension. (1) The property owner or his authorized agent may at any time submit a written request to the Department for a finding of incompatibility with respect to a structure in the Historic District, other than on a designated landmark site. If the Department, with the advice of the Advisory Board, finds that the structure is clearly incompatible with the character of the Historic District as described in this ordinance, the Department shall so indicate by letter to the owner or his agent. Said finding, unless subsequently revoked by the Department (by letter to the owner or his agent, prior to submission of a permit application for removal or demolition), shall be conclusively deemed to constitute a Certificate of Appropriateness for removal or demolition of the structure. (2) Exce

ibed in this ordinance, the Department shall so indicate by letter to the owner or his agent. Said finding, unless subsequently revoked by the Department (by letter to the owner or his agent, prior to submission of a permit application for removal or demolition), shall be conclusively deemed to constitute a Certificate of Appropriateness for removal or demolition of the structure. (2) Except where such finding of incompatibility has been made by the Department and has not been so revoked, any application for a Certificate of Appropriateness for removal or demolition of a structure in the Historic District, other than on a designated landmark site, shall be the subject of a public hearing before the City Planning Commission, as provided in Section 1006.2 of Article 10. After holding a public hearing in accordance with the provisions of Article 10, the Planning Commission shall determine whether or not the existing structure is incompatible with the character of the Historic District as described in this ordinance. If the Commission, in its sole and final discretion, determines that the structure is substantially compatible with the District, the Commission may request the applicant to submit a facade remodeling feasibility study and information regarding any new structure or other development proposed for the site, but the applicant shall not be required to submit any such material. The Commission shall then approve the application, or suspend action of the proposed removal or demolition for a period not to exceed 180 days, giving consideration to any such additional material that may have been submitted as well as to the standards in Section 1006.7 of Article 10. (3) Where action on a proposed removal or demolition has been suspended by the Planning Commission pursuant to this Subsection (d) and the Commission determines, at any time during the period of suspension, that there is no reasonable chance of preserving the structure, the Commission shall immediately terminate the suspension and the suspension period shall expire. (4) Where action on a proposed removal or demolition has been suspended by the Planning Commission pursuant to this Subsection (d), and an application for a Certificate of Appropriateness for construction or alteration on the site has also been filed, the said suspension of action shall not constitute grounds for postponement or continuation of the public hearing or decision on the proposed construction or alteration. (5) If the Planning Commission has determined that the existing structure is incompatible, or after the expiration of any suspension period imposed by the Commission, the Department shall issue to the applicant a Certificate of Appropriateness for removal or demolition.

(Added Ord. 171-83, App. 4/8/83) SEC. 5. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE. (a) History of the Area. The Northeast Waterfront District contains commercial warehouse buildings from nearly every decade of San Francisco's history. The area reflects the waterfront storage and maritime activities which, until recently, were an important aspect of San Francisco business history. These buildings range in age from the early clipper ship warehouses of Scotsman Daniel Gibb in the 1850's to the properties owned by the General Engineering and Drydock Co., a company crucial to the shipbuilding effort that made San Francisco Bay the major Pacific maritime support facility during World War II. The original shoreline of Yerba Buena swept in a curve from Montgomery Street to roughly Jackson Street and on to the deeper waters slightly east of Battery. This point was known as Punta del Embarcadero. The cove itself fronting on the settlement was shallow and could be navigated only by small craft of shallow draft. The historic district boundary begins at what was the site of the first deep water landing in San Francisco at Clark's Point. The first vessel to moor at a wharf tied up at this site and discharged cargo in 1848. The first Pacific Mail steamer to arrive in San Francisco disembarked passengers in this area in 1848 and the unique clipper ships built expressly for San Francisco's Gold Rush trade docked in this area in large numbers. During the Gold Rush era, the boundaries of the area were extended eastward by landfill into the Bay in order to create new warehousing space. Large sections of Telegraph Hill were excavated for the fill. In the late 1880's a sea wall was built which settled the eastern boundaries of the area. The clipper ships of the Gold Rush era and paddlewheel steamers of the delta and river trade docked alongside its wharves discharging a multitude of cargo, much of which passed through local warehouses. In the 1880's and 1890's large numbers of iron-hulled square riggers were involved in hauling grain From California's Central Valley to European markets. The new transcontinental trains were loaded on barges from the other side of the Bay and were docked and discharged in this area. A number of ships are presumed to have been buried beneath the fill used to extend the district. A ship buried in 1851 as an extension of Frederick Griffing's wharf was recently unearthed during the excavation for Levi's Plaza on the northern boundary of the district. Many distinguished San Francisco names and firms have been associated with the warehouses in the area: William T. Coleman head of the Vigilante Committee; George Howes, operator of clipper ships; Daniel Gibb, builder of the earliest warehouses in the area which were bought in 1861 by John Sanborn; Charles Minturn, steamboat tycoon; Isaac Friedman, the "Wheat King"; and Samuel Haslett, founder of a leading warehouse firm in the Bay Area. Pioneer firms such as American Bisquit Co., Cowell's Lime and Cement Co., W.P. Fuller Co., the Petri Italian-American Cigar Co., and the California Fruit Packing Co., have major extant structures in the area. After 1906 firms such as Bemis Bag Co., National Ice and Cold Storage, Cudahy Meat Packing, Armour and Co., Ciocca-Lombardi Wine Co., and the Italian-American Canning Co. located in the area. In the 1920's and 1930's the Sunset Press, Security Lithograph, and various typography and lithography operations were set up in the district, reflecting the increasing importance of this industry in San Francisco's economic development. In 1940 General Engineering and Drydock marshalled a number of buildings for ship repair and maintenance during World War II. These warehouse facilities have been in continuous industrial use from the Gold Rush to the mid 1960's. Since that decade showrooms, office and retail uses have been integrated into renovated warehouse structures. The area is architecturally significant as a representation of warehouse and industrial buildings from the brick structures of the Gold Rush era to the reinforced concrete buildings introduced after the turn of the century. Some of the present buildings date from well before the turn of the century, though they were rebuilt after the 1906 fire. Since warehouse architecture did not undergo profound stylistic changes until the introduction of reinforced concrete, the pre- and post-fire brick warehouses embody the original appearance and spirit of the early warehouse district. Of particular note is the block bounded by Front, Battery, Union, and Gre

date from well before the turn of the century, though they were rebuilt after the 1906 fire. Since warehouse architecture did not undergo profound stylistic changes until the introduction of reinforced concrete, the pre- and post-fire brick warehouses embody the original appearance and spirit of the early warehouse district. Of particular note is the block bounded by Front, Battery, Union, and Green streets, the most cohesive extant brick warehouse complex from this era in the City. In addition, cobblestone paving and the standard and narrow gauge belt line railroad track which served the district are visible at the foot of Commerce Street. The area clearly serves as a visual reminder of San Francisco's earlier maritime-warehousing commerce. (b) Basic Nature of the Area. The Historic District includes historically and architecturally significant buildings dating from the 1850's to the present century. The buildings vary in height from approximately six stories closest to the base of Telegraph Hill to a maximum of four stories at The Embarcadero and the Bay. The area was pre-dominantly oriented toward shipping, drayage and warehousing, and is now being converted to low rise office space. The addition of Levi's Plaza on the northern boundary offers a modern structure compatible with the district. (c) Architectural Character. Common architectural features tie the area together and provide visual distinction. Two major building materials were used in the area; brick since the Gold Rush era and reinforced concrete after the 1906 fire. Common architectural elements are repeated throughout the District. Of particular note are the large bulk and minimal fenestration of the earlier warehouse structures. Other common features are scale and proportion, materials, color, texture, and the minimal use of decorative elements. Visual distinction is due in some cases to the original construction plus the carefully designed addition of upper stories as evidenced in the original two-story Cudahy Meat Packing building by Henry Gielfus (1907) with a two-story addition by Ward and Blohme (1918). (d) Uniqueness and Location. The unique quality of the Northeast Waterfront Historic District stems from the fact that so many buildings from approximately 14 decades of San Francisco history are clustered within this nine-block area. Its distinct character is contrasted by Gateway Commons on the south and Levi's Plaza on the north. The district is close to the downtown high-rise core and the Jackson Square Historic District. (e) Visual and Functional Unity. The Historic District has an identifiable character and common architectural features. The primary unifying factors are scale and the texture of the buildings, as well as materials. In terms of function, there has been a continuous transition from the clipper ship services of the 1850's through the warehousing and shipping services of the early twentieth century, to the gradual transformation of warehouses into premium office space within walking distance of the downtown. (f) Dynamic Continuity. The Northeast Waterfront District is an evolving commercial area. The area has proven its capacity for incremental adaption to new uses. Designation as an historic district is intended to complement the economic viability of the area. (g) Benefits to the City and its Residents. Economically, the area in the past has housed specialized enterprises and is currently evolving into a satellite office district of the downtown core. Culturally, it provides a strong historical and educational resource and link with the past. Aesthetically, its architecture and visual appeal are immediate, while its value in terms of urban design within the City pattern as a whole is equally important. (Added Ord. 171-83, App. 4/8/83) SEC. 6. FEATURES. (a) Overall Form and Continuity. Building height is generally within a six-story range, with the higher structures closer to the base of Telegraph Hill and lower buildings near the water. Many of the oldest structures are one or two stories in height. (b) Scale and Proportion. The buildings are of typical warehouse design, large in bulk, often with large arches and openings originally designed for easy vehicular access. There is a regularity of overall form. The earlier brick structures blend easily with the scaled-down Beaux Arts forms of the turn of the century and the plain reinforced-concrete structures characteristic of twentieth century industrial architecture. (c) Fenestration. Minimal glazing is deeply recessed, producing a strong shadow line. The earliest structures have few windows expressing their warehouse function. They are varied in

size, rhythmically spaced, and relate in shape and proportion to those in nearby buildings. Larger industrial sash windows began to be incorporated in structures built from the 1920's and onward. Door openings are often massive to facilitate easy access of bulk materials. (d) Materials. Standard brick masonry is predominant for the oldest buildings in the District, with reinforced concrete introduced after the 1906 fire. Some of the brick facades have been stuccoed over. One of the structures still has its metal shutters, which were once typical of the area. (e) Color. Red brick is typical, with some yellow and painted brick. Muted earth tones predominate in shades of red, brown, green, gray, and blue. (f) Texture. Typical facing materials give a rough-textured appearance. The overall texture of the facades is rough-grained. (g) Detail. Arches are common at the ground floor, and are frequently repeated on upper floors. Flattened arches for window treatment are typical. Cornices are simple and generally tend to be abstract versions of the more elaborate cornices found on downtown commercial structures from the nineteenth century. Most of the surfaces of the later buildings are plain and simple, reflecting their function. Some of the earlier brickwork contains suggestions of pilasters, again highly abstracted. Where detail occurs, it is often found surrounding entryways. (h) Age. All of the buildings in the area were either partially or totally destroyed by the earthquake and fire of 1906. As in the Jackson Square area, many were rebuilt along the lines of the previous design, often using materials salvaged from the construction site. (Added Ord. 171-83, App. 4/8/83) SEC. 7. ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS FOR CERTIFICATES OF APPROPRIATENESS. The procedures, requirements, controls and standards in Sections 1006 through 1006.8 of Article 10 of the City Planning Code shall apply to all applications for Certificates of Appropriateness in the Northeast Waterfront Historic District. In addition the following provisions shall apply to all such applications; in the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the following provisions and Article 10, those procedures, requirements, controls and standards affording stricter protection to landmarks, landmark sites and the Historic District shall prevail. (a) Character of the Historic District. The standards for review of all applications for Certificates of Appropriateness are set forth in Section 1006.7 of Article 10. For purposes of review pursuant to these standards, the character of the historic district shall mean the exterior architectural features of the Northeast Waterfront Historic District described in Section 6 of this ordinance. (b) Additional Standards for Certain Features. (1) Facade Line Continuity. Facade line continuity is historically appropriate. Therefore, setbacks and arcades, not generally being features of the Northeast Waterfront Historic District, are not acceptable. (2) Fenestration and Design Elements for New Construction. In areas with a concentration of older brick buildings, new construction should reflect in design the predominant use of deeply recessed, limited fenestration. In addition, verticality and a high proportion of mass to void should be incorporated. In areas characterized by newer buildings in concrete or stucco with industrial-style fenestration, new construction should reflect those design elements. (3) Roof Treatment. Historically the view from Telegraph Hill over the Northeast Waterfront District has been one of roofs characterized by numerous regularly spaced industrial skylights. In renovation or new construction, these particular design features should be retained or incorporated. (4) Signs shall be governed by the applicable provisions of Article 6, section 609.14, and this Appendix D. In the event of inconsistency among these provisions, the most restrictive provision shall prevail unless this Code specifically provides otherwise. (c) Exterior Changes Requiring Approval. Exterior changes within the Northeast Waterfront Historic District shall require a Certificate of Appropriateness pursuant to the provisions of Article 10 when such work requires a city permit. In addition, a Certificate of Appropriateness shall be required for cleaning masonry surfaces with abrasives and/or treatment of such surfaces with waterproofing chemicals. Sandblasting and certain chemical treatments detrimental to older brick will not be approved. (Added Ord. 171-83, App. 4/8/83; Ord. 59-08, File No. 031034, App. 4/10/2008)

(Added Ord. 324-84, App. 7/6/84) SEC. 5. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE. The Alamo Square Historic District is significant as a continuum of distinguished residential architecture by distinguished architects spanning the period from the 1870's to the 1920's. The towered Westerfield House, the renowned "Postcard Row" with its background of the downtown skyline, and the neighboring streetscapes are as identified worldwide with San Francisco as the cable cars and Coit Tower. With a variety of architectural styles, the District is unified in its residential character, relatively small scale, construction type, materials (principally wood), intense ornamentation (especially at entry and cornice), and use of basements and retaining walls to adjust for hillside sites. Boundaries include the park, its edges, the nearby buildings rated highest on the City's architectural survey, and infill structures for rational planning. Most of the original owner-residents were moderately successful businessmen. A higher than average percentage of the houses were designed by architects, including a virtual cross-section of the City's better professionals. The District has always housed a varied ethnic group. With a high degree of integrity to its original designs, the District clearly serves as a visual reminder of how businessmen lived two to four generations ago. (Added Ord. 324-84, App. 7/6/84) SEC. 6. FEATURES. The exterior architectural features of the said Historic District that should be preserved are described and depicted in the Landmark Preservation Advisory Board's case report with appendix titled "Alamo Square Historic District," adopted January 18, 1984, which is hereby incorporated herein and made a part hereof as though fully set forth. (Added Ord. 324-84, App. 7/6/84) SEC. 7. ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS FOR CERTIFICATES OF APPROPRIATENESS.

(Added Ord. 484-85, App. 10/25/85) SEC. 5. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE. The Liberty-Hill Historic District is significant as an intact representation of nineteenth century middle class housing and developmental practices. It is one of the earliest residential "suburbs" to be developed in San Francisco, with major development starting in the 1860s and continuing until the turn of the century. Since the fire following the 1906 earthquake was stopped at the Twentieth Street boundary of the District, the District contains examples of all architectural styles prevalent during the developmental period. The District's houses range in size from the small "workingman's cottages" on Lexington and San Carlos Streets, with their uniform facades and setbacks, to the individually built houses found, for example, on Liberty and Fair Oaks Streets, with varying architectural facades and setbacks. While there are only a few "grand" houses in the District, a number were designed by architects well known in the Bay Area, including Albert Pissis, the Newsom brothers, Charles Shaner, William H. Toepke, Charles Havens, and Charles J. Rousseau. The "suburban" quality of the Liberty-Hill area is retained to this day. It is enhanced by extensive street tree plantings and the very low incidence of commercial establishments in the residential areas. The great majority of District businesses are on Valencia Street, an historic and unifying commercial corridor, as compared to the typical San Francisco pattern of a grocery store or saloon on nearly every corner. The District is significant in its representation of San Francisco development modes of the period. The San Francisco Homestead Union, the earliest such organization in the City, owned and subdivided one block in the District in the 1860s. The Real Estate Associates (TREA), the largest builder of speculative housing in San Francisco in the 1870's, developed Lexington and San Carlos Streets as well as a number of other sites in the District. Other blocks were purchased by real estate developers and sold lot by lot.

The initial residents in the Liberty-Hill Historic District comprised a mix of professionals, laborers and small scale entrepreneurs. There have been a number of famous residents and visitors to the District, including James Rolph, Jr., John Daly, Susan B. Anthony and Lotta Crabtree. In addition, the District is associated with both the last alcalde of San Francisco under Spanish sovereignty, Jose de Jesus Noe, and the first mayor under American rule, Washington Bartlett. Seventy percent of all the buildings in the District are Victorian, with 42 percent being Italianate, 20 percent Stick and eight percent Queen Anne. Of the buildings in the District, approximately 1/3 are architect designed. Overall, 163, or over half of all buildings, are classified as "contributing" to the Victorian character of the District, while 74 are "potentially contributing" in that reversal of inappropriate alterations could restore the original character of the buildings.

Pursuant to Section 1004 of the City Planning Code, Chapter II, Part II of the San Francisco Municipal Code, the Telegraph Hill Historic District is hereby designated as an Historic District, this designation having been duly approved by Resolution No. 10786 of the City Planning Commission. (Added by Ord. 442-86, App. 11/13/86) SEC. 3. LOCATION AND BOUNDARIES. The location and boundaries of the Telegraph Hill Historic District shall be as designated on the Telegraph Hill Historic District Map, the original of which is on file with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors under File 115-86-35, which Map is hereby incorporated herein as though fully set forth. (Added by Ord. 442-86, App. 11/13/86) SEC. 4. RELATION TO CITY PLANNING CODE. (a) Article 10 of the City Planning Code is the basic law governing historic preservation in the City and County of San Francisco. This ordinance, being a specific application of Article 10, is both subject to and in addition to the provisions thereof. (b) Except as may be specifically provided to the contrary in this ordinance, nothing in this ordinance shall supersede, impair or modify any City Planning Code provisions applicable to property in the Telegraph Hill Historic District, including but not limited to existing and future regulations controlling uses, height, bulk, lot coverage, floor area ratio, required open space, off-street parking and signs. (Added by Ord. 442-86, App. 11/13/86) SEC. 5. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE. Telegraph Hill is one of the most famous hills in the world, as well-known as Sugar Loaf in Rio de Janeiro, and a visual landmark to sailors entering the Bay since its European discovery by Capt. Juan Manuel de Ayala in the San Carlos on August 5, 1775. The second European to enter the Bay, Capt. George Vancouver in 1792, specifically mentioned the fine anchorage he had between two promontories, one of which was Loma Alta, the original name for Telegraph Hill. Telegraph Hill is famous as "the hill that's been around the world" as great portions of it were blasted out for ballast in sailing ships, "ultimately to be used to pave the streets of various exotic places" (Lotchin). The Hill's present configuration is the historical expression of the ravages created by quarrying. The rock was used not only for ballast, but also to build Gold Rush era warehouses (in a combination of brick and stone known as rubble), to fill the Bay for flatlands east of the Hill, and to build the seawall which stabilized San Francisco's waterfront. The last quarrying occurred as late as 1914. The Historic District is a unique expression of the pattern of development which took place on the east slope of Telegraph Hill from 1850 to 1939. Topographical constraints shaped the original settlement of the Hill. The difficulty of access on hillside and cliffs, and the proximity to the City's most active waterfront area first produced a community of waterfront workers housed in "cloth lined" shacks and modest vernacular Gothic Revival houses. Intact groupings of these buildings remain within the District, and comprise the City's largest concentration of pre-1870 structures. While other areas of the City experienced ongoing development through the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Telegraph Hill remained isolated. Bypassed by cablecar or streetcar lines and with vehicular access limited to Union Street, infill residential construction from 1870 - 1935 was limited to small-scale vernacular construction stylistically comparable to the earliest development on the Hill. Due to the cliffside location, steps, wooden walkways and a hidden network of footpaths developed throughout the area. Street paving of Montgomery and Alta in 1931 and Union and Calhoun in 1939 - 1940 improved general accessibility, and heralded new development in the area. Low property values facilitated real estate development. Owners retained an array of architects who produced a collection of noteworthy and (then) innovative designs. Among these are Richard Neutra's International Style Kahn House at 66 - 70 Calhoun Terrace (1939), and Irvine Goldstine's Art Moderne Malloch Apartment Building at 1360 Montgomery Street (1936). This change in style, scale and pattern of development punctuates the district's period of significance. The steep cliffs, a decisive factor in determining the historic development pattern of the area, are a highly significant aesthetically important component defining the setting of the District. The abrupt changes in grade produce dramatic and unique vistas at points throughout the District. Unimproved street rights-of-way are valuable open spaces ranging in character from the well-tended, renowned Grace Marchant and Valetta's Gardens on Filbert and Greenwich Streets, to the rock-face cliffs of Green and Calhoun Streets.

(b) Height. Buildings should relate to the height of structures immediately adjacent and in the general area with the intent that the building should be contained within an envelope that slopes upward or downward with the slope of the property. (c) Alterations and New Construction. Alterations and new construction shall be compatible with the nearby contributory buildings within the Historic District, and shall conform to the following provisions: (1) Style. New construction in a contemporary idiom is encouraged, with specific regulation as follows: (a) Bay windows and porticos are not characteristic of the District, and are discouraged. (b) Porches and balconies are characteristic design features of the District, and are encouraged. (c) Gable roof forms are encouraged. (d) The mass of new buildings should relate to the topographical contour of the site, and be compatible with adjacent buildings. (e) Horizontal rustic wood siding is the traditional building material in the District, and its use is encouraged over other surfacing materials, including wood shingles. Masonry surfaces may be appropriate in subareas with a concentration of Art Moderne or International Style building. (f) Fenestration should be proportionate and in scale with traditional patterns within the District. Wooden sash is encouraged over aluminum or other metal sash. (g) Detailing should relate to the simple, straightforward traditional vernacular forms found in the District. (2) Landscaping. All applications for Certificates of Appropriateness for construction shall include landscaping plans for required yards, setbacks and areas counting toward useable open space requirements of Section 135 of the City Planning Code. All construction activities, such as but not limited to demolition, storage of construction materials, excavation, and application of concrete and other chemicals shall be conducted to minimize interference with historic gardens in public rights-of-way and in historic gardens adjoining them.

Changes in the existing circulation patterns shall not be made except when such change is clearly preferable to provide for public safety. (f) Street Furniture. Street furniture including but not limited to lighting fixtures, trash receptacles, and benches shall require a Certificate of Appropriateness. Such features shall complement the scale and character of the District. (g) Demolition. Demolition of Contributory and Contributory/Altered buildings shall be subject to the maximum controls allowed under Article 10 of the City Planning Code. A demolition permit shall not be issued until all other required permits for new construction have been approved. No application for a demolition permit shall be deemed complete until all building permits for the replacement structure have been approved.* (h) Cliffs. Applications for Certificates of Appropriateness proposing new construction on lots located upon the cliff areas of the District shall conform to the following provisions: (1) Applications shall include geological studies made by a licensed civil engineer whose principle practice area is rock mechanics. (2) At the hearing on the Certificate of Appropriateness pursuant to Sections 1006.2(b) and 1006.3, the Planning Commission shall determine whether the construction proposed by the applicant will have a reasonable probability of endangering life, limb, or property due to landsliding or structural failure. The Planning Commission's determination shall be based upon the geological studies submitted by the applicant or any interested party, as well as based upon testimony from, but not limited to, geotechnical and structural engineers. (3) If the Planning Commission finds, based on the evidence presented at the hearing, that there is a reasonable probability that the proposed construction will endanger life, limb, or property of any person due to landsliding or structural failure, the Planning Commission shall disapprove the Certificate of Appropriateness. (4) If the Planning Commission determines that the proposed construction can be safely undertaken without endangering life, limb, or property of any person due to landsliding or structural failure, the applicant shall take a "soft" approach to cliff retention, such as rock bolts and prestressed tendons, in order to preserve the integrity of the cliffs. (i) Significance of Individual Buildings to the Historic District. The history of each parcel within the Historic District is documented on the survey worksheets (Appendix A to the Telegraph Hill Historic District Case Report). Each building is assigned a finding from the three following categories: (1) Contributory. This category identifies buildings which date from the Historic District's period of significance and retain their historic integrity. These structures are of the highest importance in maintaining the character of the Historic District. The maximum suspension period allowable under Article 10 shall be imposed on applications for demolition of Contributory buildings. (2) Contributory/Altered. This category identifies buildings which date from the Historic District's period of significance but have had their historic integrity compromised by inappropriate alterations. Appropriate restoration of such buildings is encouraged. The maximum suspension period allowable under Article 10 shall be imposed on applications for demolition of Contributory/Altered buildings. If a building in this category were to be appropriately restored, the category designation may be amended to "Contributory." (3) Noncontributory. This category identifies buildings which postdate the Historic District's period of significance. Demolition permit applications for these buildings will be processed without reference to the suspension provisions of Article 10. Alterations to Noncontributory buildings would require Certificate of Appropriateness review in order to minimize conflicts with the historic character of the District. (Added by Ord. 442-86, App. 11/13/86)

• It is not the intent of this section to prohibit consideration and approval of permits for new construction and demolition on the property while it is subject to the demolition prohibition set forth herein.

APPENDIX H TO ARTICLE 10 - BLACKSTONE COURT HISTORIC DISTRICT SEC. 1. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

The Board of Supervisors hereby finds that the area known and described in this ordinance as the Blackstone Court Historic District contains a number of structures having a special character and special historical, architectural and aesthetic interest and value, and constitutes a distinct section of the City. The Board of Supervisors further finds that designation of said area as an Historic District will be in furtherance of and in conformance with the purposes of Article 10 of the City Planning Code and the standards set forth therein, and that preservation on an area basis rather than on the basis of individual structures alone is in order. This ordinance is intended to further the general purpose of historic preservation legislation as set forth in Section 1001 of the City Planning Code, to promote the health, safety and general welfare of the public. (Added by Ord. 464-87, App. 11/19/87) SEC. 2. DESIGNATION. Pursuant to Section 1004 of the City Planning Code, Chapter II, Part II of the San Francisco Municipal Code, the Blackstone Court Historic District is hereby designated as an Historic District, this designation having been duly approved by Resolution No. 10997 of the City Planning Commission. (Added by Ord. 464-87, App. 11/19/87) SEC. 3. LOCATION AND BOUNDARIES. The location and boundaries of the Blackstone Court Historic District shall be as designated on the Blackstone Court Historic District Map, the original of which is on file with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors under File 115-87-13, which Map is hereby incorporated herein as though fully set forth.

(Added by Ord. 464-87, App. 11/19/87) SEC. 5. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE. The significance of Blackstone Court Historic District is more historical than architectural, though enough physical evidence of past history remains to create a sense of the former place and time in this unusual mid-block enclave of five structures on a blind alley. The north line of the ally, Blackstone Court, follows the north line of an early trail shown on U.S. Coast Survey maps of the 1850's and 1860's, a trail that ran from town toward the Presidio, around the north end of Washerwoman's Lagoon (now drained and filled; so named for the Gold Rush laundries). The western end of Blackstone Court is the western edge of William Eddy's 1849 Lagoon Survey which set up a grid parallel to Market Street, facing the view through the Golden Gate. On a lot alignment perpendicular to the north edge of the old trail, 9-11 Blackstone Court appears to date from the 1850's because of its Gothic Revival veranda and its interior plan and finish. It is first documented on its site in 1893 (possibly moved to clear a street right-of-way designated by the Laguna Survey of 1889-91). Before 1899 it was raised a story by the Favilla family from North Beach, very early Italian-American residents in what became the Marina District. Abraham House, 30 Blackstone Court, was constructed in 1885 by Charles Abraham, and enlarged by him in 1905. Abraham was the horticulturally significant founder of Western Nursery, which operated on most of this block from 1885 to 1947. It was the last expression of the Cow Hollow/Marina District agricultural enterprises. An Australian peppermint tree and a Monterey Cypress appear to date from the nursery. All of these elements combine to present a unique physical expression of the pre-1906 settlement patterns of this section of the City: the pre-Gold Rush trail, the lot lines perpendicular to it, the nursery, the modest old houses and early, pre-1900 Italian-American investment in the Marina District.

(B) Alterations to Contributory and Contributory/Altered Buildings. Alterations to Contributory and Contributory/Altered bui

purposes of review pursuant to said standards, the character of said Historic District shall mean the architectural features and historic street and lot lines, freestanding buildings, and low scale and intensity of development of the Blackstone Court Historic District. (B) Alterations to Contributory and Contributory/Altered Buildings. Alterations to Contributory and Contributory/Altered buildings shall be compatible with the architectural and historic fabric of the building. New construction shall be compatible with the character of the historic district defined in Section 7(A) above, including but not limited to materials, fenestration, scale, bulk, detailing and intensity of development. Alterations or new construction shall maintain and enhance existing visual access to the historic buildings in the district. (C) Landscaping. All applications for Certificates of Appropriateness for construction shall include landscaping plans for required yards, setbacks and areas counting toward usable open space requirements of Section 135 of the City Planning Code. All construction activities, such as but not limited to demolition, storage of construction materials, excavation, and application of concrete and other chemicals shall be conducted so as to minimize interference with gardens. (D) Street Furniture. Street furniture including but not limited to lighting fixtures, trash receptacles, and benches shall require a Certificate of Appropriateness. Such features shall complement the scale and character of the district. (E) Demolition.

(F) Significance of Individual Buildings to the Historic District. The history of each parcel within the historic district is documented on the survey worksheets (Appendix A to the Blackstone Court Historic District Case Report). Each building is assigned a finding from the three following categories: (1) Contributory. This category identifies buildings which date from the historic district's period of significance and retain their historic integrity. These structures are of the highest importance in maintaining the character of the historic district. The maximum suspension period allowable under Article 10 shall be imposed on applications for demolition of Contributory buildings. (2) Contributory/Altered. This category identifies buildings which date from the historic district's period of significance but have had their historic integrity compromised by inappropriate alterations.

Appropriate restoration of such buildings is encouraged. The maximum suspension period allowable under Article 10 shall be imposed on applications for demolition of Contributory/Altered buildings. If a building in this category were to be appropriately restored, the category designation may be amended to Contributory. (3) Noncontributory. This category identifies buildings which post-date the historic district's period of significance. Demolition permit applications for these buildings will be processed without reference to the suspension provisions of Article 10. Alterations to Noncontributory buildings would require Certificate of Appropriateness review in order to minimize conflicts with the historic character of the district.

(Added by Ord. 104-90, App. 3/23/90) SEC. 4. RELATION TO CITY PLANNING CODE AND REDEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR THE RINCON POINT-SOUTH BEACH PROJECT AREA. (a) Article 10 of the City Planning Code is the basic law governing historic preservation in the City and County of San Francisco. This ordinance, being a specific application of Article 10, is both subject to and in addition to the provisions thereof. (b) Except as may be specifically provided to the contrary in the ordinance, nothing in this ordinance shall supersede, impair or modify any City Planning Code provisions applicable to property in the South End Historic District, including but not limited to existing and future regulations controlling uses, height, bulk, coverage, floor area ratio, required open space, off- street parking and signs. (c) Nothing in this ordinance shall supersede, impair or modify any provisions of the Redevelopment Plan (including the Design for Development), for the Rincon Point-South Beach Project Area which are applicable to property located in such Redevelopment Project Area and designated part of this South End Historic District. (Added by Ord. 104-90, App. 3/23/90) SEC. 5. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE. (a) History of the area: For decades after the 1849 Gold Rush, San Francisco was the principal seaport and connection with the outside world for California and the West Coast. San Francisco's expansion and transformation into one of the most important cities in North America is attributable to the eminence of its port which, because of its sheltered location and deep water, became one of the best-suited on the Pacific Ocean. The development of warehouses over a 120-year period along the southern waterfront provides a benchmark from which to view architectural and technological responses to the rapid

changes of growing industrial nation state and city. The interdependence of architecture and history can be seen from a look at the evolution of warehouse forms along the southern waterfront. Unlike most other areas of the San Francisco waterfront, the South End District contains an extraordinary concentration of buildings from almost every period of San Francisco's maritime history. Several street fronts - such as Second, Third and Townsend - are characterized by solid walls of brick and reinforced concrete warehouses. With this harmony of scale and materials, the South End Historic District is clearly a visually recognizable place. One-story warehouses were common in the nineteenth century but rare in the early twentieth due to the increasing cost of land. Two of the oldest warehouses in the historic district are one story in height: Hooper's Warehouse (1874) and the California Warehouse (1882). Their horizontal orientation is accentuated through the use of strong cornice lines with decorative brick patterns. Multi-story buildings have been more common along the southern waterfront since the turn of the century. After 1906, almost all new warehouses were constructed to be at least three stories in height, and several warehouses on Second and Townsend Streets reached six stories. The invention of the forklift in the 1930s eliminated advantages which multi-story buildings enjoyed over single-story structures. Since 1945, almost all warehouses constructed in the United States have been one story in height. Many multi-story warehouses and industrial buildings have been converted to other uses or are vacant because they have become obsolete for most warehouse or industrial functions. South End's period of historical significance, 1867 to 1935, comprises the era during which the waterfront became a vital part of the City's and nation's maritime commerce. The buildings of the South End Historic District represent a rich and varied cross-section of the prominent local architects and builders of the period. Four buildings remain from the nineteenth century; another four were constructed in the six-year interval preceding the 1906 earthquake. The majority of the buildings were erected between 1906 and 1929, a period during which trade along the waterfront increased dramatically. Several events shaped this part of San Francisco. The building of Long Bridge in 1865 on the line of Fourth Street south to Point San Quentin or the Potrero district, opened up opportunities for new industrial development in the southern part of the city. The Second Street cut of 1869, through fashionable Rincon Hill, allowed access from downtown to the southern waterfront. The completion of the transcontinental railroad in 1869 (and the eventual extension of railway lines into the area) was the single most important event to impact the district. The fire of 1906 and the opening of the Panama Canal in 1914 were further impetuses to warehouse construction in this area, as were the seawall and the Belt Line Railway. Prominent figures in San Francisco history have been associated with the district. William Ralston, founder of the Bank of California, builder of the Palace Hotel, and financier of San Francisco and the West, owned property in the district and was a major force in politically engineering the Second Street cut in 1869. William Sharon, a U.S. Senator from Nevada in 1875 - 1881, acquired much of Ralston's estate and also co-owned and built the California Warehouse on the corner of Second and Townsend for Haslett and Bailey in 1882. William P. Aspinwall founded the internationally important Oriental Warehouse (Pacific Mail Steamship Company) in this district during the Gold Rush. John Hooper built Hooper's South End Grain Warehouse at Japan and Townsend Streets in 1874 for California's lucrative grain trade. Hooper was a member of a family known particularly for its lumber trade, with large land holdings just south of the South End Historic District. The leading warehouse firms in San Francisco were those of the Haslett and Lamb families. Samuel Haslett, a native of Ireland, came to San Francisco in the 1870s and became a partner with J.W. Cox at the Humboldt Warehouse on Rincon Point. Haslett's sons continued the business after his death, and Samuel Haslett IV is now president of the firm. Once nationally known in warehousing, the Hasletts built or are associated with seven warehouses in the district. George Lamb founded the South End Warehouse Company in 1905, and later co-founded the drayage and hauling firm of King and Company. South End operated six warehouses in the area at various times. Charles Lee Tilden (1857 - 1950) built 111 - 113 Townsend, a Haslett warehouse, and the Overland warehouse at Third and Townsend Streets. Tilden, a highly successful business entrepreneur, also founded the East Bay Regional Park system in 1934. Charles Norton Felton (1828 - 1914), Senator, Congressman, and early developer of oil in California, is associated with warehouses at 275 Brannan Street and 601 Second Street. The proposed historic district is an important visual landmark for the City as a whole. The large number of intact masonry warehouses which remain to this day are reminders of the maritime and rail activities which helped to make San Francisco a great Turn-of-the-Century Port City. The warehouse district, because of its distinct building forms, is identifiable from many parts of San Francisco and the greater Bay Area.

the South End Historic District Case Report No. 89.065L. (Added by Ord. 104-90, App. 3/23/90) SEC. 6. FEATURES. (a) Features of Existing Buildings. 1. Overall Form and Continuity. Building height is generally within a six-story range, and many of the oldest structures are one or two stories in height. 2. Scale and Proportion. The buildings are of typical warehouse design, large in bulk, often with large arches and openings originally designed for easy vehicular access. There is a regularity of overall form. The earlier brick structures blend easily with the scaled-down Beaux Arts forms of the turn of the century and the plain reinforced concrete structures characteristic of twentieth-century industrial architecture. 3. Fenestration. The earliest structures have few windows, expressing their warehouse function. They are varied in size, rhythmically spaced, deeply recessed, produce a strong shadow line, and relate in shape and proportion to those in nearby buildings. Larger industrial sash windows began to be incorporated in structures built from the 1920s and onward. Door openings are often massive to facilitate easy access of bulk materials. 4. Materials. Standard brick masonry is predominant for the oldest buildings in the district, with reinforced concrete introduced after the 1906 fire, although its widespread use did not occur until the 1920s. Brick and stone paving treatments on Federal and First and De Boom Streets respectively are extant as well as Beltline Railroad Tracks which run throughout the District. 5. Color. Red brick is typical, with some yellow and painted brick. Muted earth tones predominate in shades of red, brown, green, gray and blue. 6. Texture. Typical facing materials give a rough textured appearance. The overall texture of the facades is rough grained. 7. Detail. Arches are common at the ground floor, and are frequently repeated on upper floors. Flattened arches for window treatment are typical. Cornices are simple and generally tend to be abstract versions of the more elaborate cornices found in downtown commercial structures from the nineteenth century. Most of the surfaces of the later buildings are plain and simple reflecting their function. Some of the earlier brick work contains suggestions of pilasters, again highly abstracted. Where detail occurs, it is often found surrounding entryways. (b) Standards for New Construction and Alterations. 1. Facade Line Continuity. Facade line continuity is historically appropriate. Therefore, setbacks at lower floors and arcades, not generally being features of the South End Historic District, are generally not acceptable. 2. Fenestration and Design Elements for New Construction. In areas with a concentration of buildings characterized by a high proportion of mass to void and deeply recessed openings, vertical orientation and limited fenestration, the design of new construction should relate to those elements. In areas characterized by buildings with industrial style fenestration, new construction should relate to those design elements. 3. Signs. (A) Principal Signs. Only one sign will be allowed per establishment per street frontage. A flush sign with lettering intended to be read from across the street is permitted. On brick surfaces, signs should be mounted with a minimum number of penetrations of the wall, and those penetrations only in the mortar joints. (B) Secondary Signs. One per establishment per street frontage. A secondary sign is intended to be viewed close-up and consists of: (a) Lettering on a door or window which contains only the name and nature of the establishment, hours of operation and other pertinent information. (b) A projecting sign not exceeding two square feet in area used in conjunction with a principal flush sign. (c) Exterior Changes Requiring Approval. Any exterior change within the South End Historic District shall require a Certificate of Appropriateness pursuant to the provisions of Article 10 when such work requires a city permit. In addition, a Certificate of Appropriateness shall be required for cleaning masonry surfaces with abrasives and/or treatment of such surfaces with waterproofing chemicals. Sandblasting and certain chemical treatments detrimental to older brick will not be approved. (Added by Ord. 104-90, App. 3/23/90) SEC. 7. ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS FOR CERTIFICATES OF APPROPRIATENESS. The procedures, requirements, controls and standards in Sections 1006 through 1006.8 of Article 10 of the Planning Code shall apply to all applications for Certificates of Appropriateness in the South End Historic District. In addition, the following provisions shall apply to all such applications; in the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the following provisions and Article 10, those procedures, requirements, controls, and standards affording stricter protection to landmarks, landmark sites, and the Historic District shall prevail.

(a) Character of the Historic District. The standards for review of all applications for the Certificate of Appropriateness are set forth in Section 1006.7 of Article 10. For purposes of review pursuant to these standards, the character of the historic district shall mean the exterior architectural features as well as the historic brick and stone paving materials described in Section 6 of this ordinance. (b) New Construction. New construction on vacant sites should conform to the general profile of the District, especially as to scale, sculptural qualities of facade and entrance detailing, fenestration patterns and materials described in Section 6 of this ordinance. (c) Masonry, Brickwork and Stonework. A Certificate of Appropriateness shall be required for painting previously unpainted masonry, brick or stone exterior surfaces, for cleaning such surfaces with abrasives and/or treatment of such surfaces with waterproofing chemicals. Sandblasting and certain chemical treatment detrimental to masonry will not be approved. (d) Alterations. It is recognized that certain alterations to the exteriors of buildings within the Historic District may be necessary in order to accommodate adaptive reuse of, and to provide sufficient light and air in, such buildings. Substantial alterations to Principal Facades, as defined in Planning Code Section 102, should be discouraged. Substantial alterations to non-principal facades, not originally intended to be viewed from the street, may be appropriate, provided such alterations maintain the character of the historic district. (e) 200 Brannan Street, Lot 24 within Assessor's Block 3774 is a site proposed for high-density mixed-income housing within the Rincon Point-South Beach Redevelopment Project Area Plan. The subject property is a donut-shaped group of buildings of different dates behind a single unifying wall and the continuous facade wall which runs along the First and Brannan Streets is the contributory element of the site and adaptive reuse of the subject property is acceptable. (Added by Ord. 104-90, App. 3/23/90; amended by Ord. 202-18, File No. 180557, App. 8/10/2018, Eff. 9/10/2018) AMENDMENT HISTORY Undesignated introductory paragraph and division (d) amended; Ord. 202-18, Eff. 9/10/2018. SEC. 8. SIGNIFICANCE OF INDIVIDUAL BUILDINGS TO THE HISTORIC DISTRICT. The history of each parcel within the Historic District is documented on the survey worksheets (Appendix A to the South End Historic District Case Report No. 89.065L). This classification of buildings in the South End Historic District is delineated in Case Report No. 89.065L. Each building is designated as one of the following:

1. Contributory.This category identifies buildings which date from the Historic District's period of significance and retain their historic integrity. These structures are of the highest importance in maintaining the character of the Historic District.
2. Contributory - Altered.This category identifies buildings which date from the historic district's period of significance but have had their historic integrity compromised by inappropriate alterations. Appropriate restoration of such buildings is encouraged. If a building in this category were to be appropriately restored, the category designation may be amended by the L.P.A.B. to "Contributory."
3. Noncontributory.This category identifies buildings which are outside the Historic District's period of significance or are so significantly altered that they have lost their integrity. A Certificate of Appropriateness shall not be required for demolition of a noncontributory building. Construction of new buildings on a demolished building site, additions to, and major alterations of noncontributory buildings should be compatible with the character of the Historic District, and would require a Certificate of Appropriateness in order to ensure compatibility with the character of the historic district. (Added by Ord. 104-90, App. 3/23/90) SEC. 9. PAINT COLOR. Nothing in this legislation shall be construed as authorization to regulate paint colors used within the District. (Added by Ord. 104-90, App. 3/23/90) SEC. 10. ADDITIONS. Additions to existing buildings and new infill construction proposed within the South End Historic District must reflect an understanding of the relationship of the proposal with the contributing buildings within the district. Additions shall be reviewed for compatibility with the historic building and the district while infill construction shall be reviewed for compatibility with the overall district. Neither should directly imitate nor replicate existing features. For additions, every effort should be made to minimize the visibility of the new structure within the district. Infill construction should reflect the character of the district, including the prevailing heights of contributing buildings without creating a false sense of history. Property owners should consult early in the process with a Planning Department Historic Preservation Technical Specialist when developing a proposal. Additions will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis and any proposed addition should be located in an inconspicuous location and not result in a radical change to the form or character of the historic building. A vertical addition may be approved, depending on how the addition impacts the building and its relative visibility from the surrounding public rights-of-way within the district. The Planning Department evaluates all proposals for properties identified under Article 10 of the Planning Code for compliance with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards (36 C.F.R. § 67.7 (2001)). Based on these Standards, Department staff uses the following criteria when reviewing proposals for vertical additions: • The structure respects the general size, shape, and scale of the features associated with the property and the district and the structure is connected to the proper

the Planning Code for compliance with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards (36 C.F.R. § 67.7 (2001)). Based on these Standards, Department staff uses the following criteria when reviewing proposals for vertical additions: • The structure respects the general size, shape, and scale of the features associated with the property and the district and the structure is connected to the property in a manner that does not alter, change, obscure, damage, or destroy any of the character-defining features of the property and the district. • The design respects the general historic and architectural characteristics associated with the property and the district without replicating historic styles or elements that will result in creating a false sense of history. • The materials are compatible with the property or district in general character, color and texture. As part of the Planning Department review process, the project sponsor shall conduct and submit an analysis that illustrates the relative visibility of a proposed vertical addition from within the district. As part of this analysis, sightline cross-sections and perspective drawings illustrating the proportionality and scale, as well as the visible extent of the addition from prescribed locations should be submitted. When a district provides an opportunity for new construction through existing vacant parcels or by replacing non-contributing buildings, a sensitive design is of critical importance. Historic buildings within the district should be utilized and referenced for design context. Contemporary design that respects the District's existing character-defining features without replicating historic designs is encouraged. The Department uses the following criteria when reviewing proposals for infill construction: • The structure respects the general size, shape, and scale of the character-defining features associated with the district and its relationship to the character-defining features of the immediate neighbors and the district. • The site plan respects the general site characteristics associated with the district. • The design respects the general character-defining features associated with the district • The materials are compatible with the district in general character, color, and texture.

APPENDIX J TO ARTICLE 10 - CIVIC CENTER HISTORIC DISTRICT SEC. 1. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES. The Board of Supervisors hereby finds that the area known and described in this ordinance as the Civic Center Historic District contains a number of structures having a special character and special historical, architectural and aesthetic interest and value, and constitutes a distinct section of the City. The Board of Supervisors further finds that designation of said area as an Historic District will be in furtherance of and in conformance with the purposes of Article 10 of the City Planning Code and the standards set forth therein, and that preservation on an area basis rather than on the basis of individual structures alone is in order. This ordinance is intended to further the general purpose of historic preservation legislation as set forth in Section 1001 of the City Planning Code, to promote the health, safety and general welfare of the public. (Added by Ord. 413-94, App. 12/23/94) SEC. 2. DESIGNATION. Pursuant to Section 1004 of the City Planning Code, Chapter II, Part II of the San Francisco Municipal Code, the San Francisco Civic Center Historic District is hereby designated as an Historic District, this designation having been duly approved by Resolution No. 13719 of the City Planning Commission and Resolution No. 454 of the Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board. (Added by Ord. 413-94, App. 12/23/94) SEC. 3. LOCATION AND BOUNDARIES. The location and boundaries of the San Francisco Civic Center Historic District generally bounded by Golden Gate Avenue to the north, Franklin Street to the west, Jones Street to the east and Market Street to the south shall be as designated on the San Francisco Civic Center Historic District Map, the original of which is on file with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors under File No. 115-94-10, which Map is hereby incorporated herein as though fully set forth. (Added by Ord. 413-94, App. 12/23/94) SEC. 4. RELATION TO CITY PLANNING CODE AND THE PROVISIONS OF THE CHARTER OF THE CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO. (a) Article 10 of the City Planning Code is the basic law governing historic preservation in the City and County of San Francisco. This ordinance, being a specific application of Article 10, is both subject to and in addition to the provisions thereof. (b) Except as may be specifically provided to the contrary in this ordinance, nothing in this ordinance shall supersede, impair or modify any City Planning Code provisions applicable to property in the San Francisco Civic Center Historic District, including but not limited to existing and future regulations controlling uses, height, bulk, lot coverage, floor area ratio, required open space, off-street parking and signs. (Added by Ord. 413-94, App. 12/23/94) SEC. 5. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE. The San Francisco Civic Center possesses a unique place and significance in the areas of architecture, history, and environment worthy of protection as an historic district. The land on which the Civic Center stands was declared a City Hall Reservation as early as 1870. Portions of that reservation land were sold to raise funds for City Hall construction, and Old City Hall - located on the site that had first been used as the Yerba Buena Cemetery, approximately where the present library stands - was erected between 1871 and 1897, in a lengthy project marked by the now well known City government corruption of that time. In 1899, B.J.S. Cahill, with the encouragement of Mayor Phelan, proposed a grander vision for the area, with the dual goal of clearing up land titles clouded by the dubious practices of the promoters of the Old City Hall and, at the same time, of creating an imposing setting for the entire area. This plan envisioned clearing out smaller structures and visually uniting the remaining monumental structures - Old City Hall, the Main Post Office, the Hibernia Bank building, and other larger structures - and setting them off against new open spaces (such as a planned extension of the Golden Gate Park panhandle to Market Street). Conflicting new developments were blocked for a time, but the plan eventually failed, in large part because of general distrust - bred of experience, perhaps - of large government projects. Undaunted, former Mayor Phelan soon led the formation of an Association for the Improvement and Adornment of San Francisco. In 1904, the Association invited Daniel Burnham to design a grand plan for the City, with B.J.S. Cahill providing a design for the Civic Center. This produced two visions of the Civic Center: Cahill, with the practicality borne of personal and local experience, proposed using existing structures and City-owned land to create a central plaza, surrounded by major buildings, and, again, connected to a Golden Gate Park panhandle extension; Burnham proposed a grander Civic Center, with buildings connected by a generally circular series of boulevards and grand open vistas. The Burnham Plan, though politically impractical, fired the public imagination and was submitted to and adopted by the Board of Supervisors on September 27, 1905.

Following the 1906 earthquake, the public desire to rebuild and reclaim what had just been lost confirmed in practice what Cahill had perceived before: that political expediency set limits to the definition of the Civic Center. Competition continued between the different views of Burnham and Cahill of what the Civic Center might become, but by 1912 the Board of Supervisors had endorsed the Cahill Plan as modified in 1909. The momentum of growing civic pride and the Civic Center development effort - spearheaded by then-Mayor Rolph and the coming of the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition - was focused into the general outlines sketched by Cahill. Mayor Rolph, a reform candidate, saw the Civic Center as a central civic improvement, the symbol of a new unity of the people under a new and honest political era and a permanent expression of the grandeur and vitality which the 1915 Exposition would exemplify on a temporary scale. The World Columbian Exposition in Chicago, in 1893, was the source of inspiration for the "City Beautiful" movement which emphasizes formal plan and composition of monumental scale, neoclassical style buildings fronting plazas, boulevards and grand public gathering spaces. The order, harmony, cleanliness, and grandeur of the exhibition, called "The White City," was in sharp contrast to the rapid, chaotic growth that most U.S. cities had experienced in the preceding era of rapid immigration and industrialization. Several world's fairs were held throughout the country in the later 1800's, spreading the ideals of classical architecture, Beaux Arts forms, and the concepts of planning and cooperation for ensemble effect in design. These planning and design schemes were an important influence for forty years, with their primary manifestation coming in designs for cities, parks, and civic centers. Numerous City plans were commissioned in the early years, but only Cleveland and San Francisco implemented a portion of their plans, with San Francisco more nearly reaching completion. The historic significance of the "City Beautiful" movement lies in the manner in which it reformed and refocused architectural vision, contributing to something of a national style of architecture; and, on a practical level, in the formation of City Planning Departments and schools or courses devoted to City Planning. The design of the San Francisco Civic Center is an example of the development of those significant contributions. More particularly, the San Francisco Civic Center is an expression of a nation ready to display its new international importance in an architectural statement. At the time it took form, geography and historical events had made San Francisco the center of western America. Monumental classical architecture for the City's central public space expressed this consciousness, as well as the accompanying belief that such inspiring surroundings should be democratically available to all, not just a privileged few. The Exposition Auditorium, the Central Plaza, and the Powerhouse were completed before the 1915 Panama-Pacific Exposition, and the new City Hall was completed in late 1915. The library was completed in 1916; the State Building in 1921; and the Public Health Building in 1932 and the Old Federal Building in 1936. The present Opera House and Veterans Building expanded the Civic Center to the west in 1932 and 1933, respectively, much in the manner the original proponents envisioned. The original plaza was excavated in 1956 to add the underground parking garage. At this time the ground level details were changed into the present reflecting pool and semi-park. United Nations Plaza, which opens the vista to the east of City Hall in a manner consistent with the original vision of the Civic Center, was created in the mid-1970's. It is an exemplary City Beautiful complex in the best of the American Academic Beaux Arts tradition. Designed and built in the revival of classical style, stemming from the Chicago World's Fair of 1893 that has been called the "American Renaissance," it succeeds in making a strong impression of Civic dignity and pride. The San Francisco Civic Center Historic District consists of a principal aggregation of monumental buildings around a central open space, with additional buildings extending the principal axis at either end. It includes all or part of the fifteen City blocks. There are eight major buildings, a group of secondary buildings, three unrealized building sites, and a large plaza within the Historic District. Each building in the Civic Center was faced with the problem of providing modern, functional facilities in a classical idiom. The classical Beaux Arts style was deemed suitable as the traditional style of American governmental buildings, and was amenable to City Beautiful ideals of harmony among many buildings on a grand scale. The formal composition of "City Beautiful" architecture, plantings, street embellishments and plazas was meant to be an expression of civic authority and pride - intending to impress and overawe. The classical style aptly expressed the mood of a nation eager to redefine its newly achieved international importance in architectural terms. It reflected a mood and an existing state of affairs as much as an inspiration to dominance. In San Francisco, it represented the city's emergence as a regional center of national importance, and within the City, it symbolized the united efforts of a population recently divided along many lines. In terms of "democratic" architecture, or architecture for an ever larger segment of the population, monumental classical architecture uncompromisingly demonstrated the enhanced concern for the general public. Only a few years earlier, such splendor was exclusively reserved for the rich and the privileged few. To this day, no greater public interiors have been built in the United States than those influenced by and representative of the City Beautiful Movement, including among t

f the population, monumental classical architecture uncompromisingly demonstrated the enhanced concern for the general public. Only a few years earlier, such splendor was exclusively reserved for the rich and the privileged few. To this day, no greater public interiors have been built in the United States than those influenced by and representative of the City Beautiful Movement, including among the very finest, the San Francisco City Hall. Within the scope of turn of the century classical architecture in the United States, the San Francisco Civic Center contains several fine examples of the mode and one superlative example in its City Hall. The other buildings in the group, although less interesting individually cannot properly be evaluated in the same way. In particular, the State Building, the Federal Building, the Health Building and the War Memorial group would probably appear rather dull compared to City Hall, as if they were missing an essential ingredient. But seen in the context of the Civic Center as a whole, and in relation to City Hall, all the buildings together achieve distinction. The criteria on which the buildings are judged, then, must be the degree to which each enhances the group without distracting from City Hall. These qualities are achieved through a harmony of color, material, scale, size, texture, rhythm and style. Within these constrictions the buildings achieve individual interest through the imaginative manipulation of the elements. The historic Civic Center buildings are unified in the Beaux Arts classical design. They are organized into horizontal bands of vertically proportioned elements, with the grand order of the facade displayed on two or three floors above a usually rusticated base of one or two ground and partially sub-ground floors. Civic Center Historic District contains standard features such as overall form, massing, scale, proportion, orientation, depth of face, fenestration and ornamentation, materials, color, texture, architectural detailing, facade line continuity, decorative and sculptural features, street furniture, granite curbing and grille work. The Civic Center is designated as both a National Historic Landmark District and a Historic District on the National Register of Historic Places, the former designation occurred on February 27, 1987, the latter, October 10, 1978. These designations offer recognition that certain properties within the Historic District are worthy of preservation and alterations undertaken both in the local and federal districts shall comply with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties. Said Standards were adopted by the Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board at its Regular Meeting of October 2, 1985, the amended Standards were readopted by the Landmarks Board at its Regular Meetings of February 6, 1991 and August 3, 1994. (Added by Ord. 413-94, App. 12/23/94) SEC. 6. FEATURES. The architectural features of said Historic District that should be preserved are set forth in this ordinance and described and depicted in the Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board's Case Report "San Francisco Civic Center Historic District" including Appendix A: Survey of Parcels. Said Case Report was adopted by the Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board at its Regular Meeting of October 6, 1993 by Resolution No. 454 and was adopted and amended by the City Planning Commission at its Regular Meeting of July 7, 1994 by Resolution No. 13719. The architectural features, formal plan composition and streetscape elements of said Historic District that should be preserved and strengthened are also identified in the Civic Center Plan, an Element of the City's Master Plan, and in the Civic Center Urban Design Guidelines adopted by the Planning Commission pursuant to that plan. (Added by Ord. 413-94, App. 12/23/94) SEC. 7. ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS FOR CERTIFICATES OF APPROPRIATENESS. The procedures, requirements, controls and standards in Sections 1005 through 1006.8 of Article 10 of the City Planning Code shall apply to all applications for Certificates of Appropriateness in the San Francisco Civic Center Historic District. In addition, the following provisions shall apply to all such applications. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the following provisions and Article 10, the procedures, requirements, controls and standards affording stricter protection to the Historic District shall prevail, except for the provisions of Section 8 of this designation ordinance. A Certificate of Appropriateness shall be required for all major alterations, as set forth below, to Contributory or Contributory/Altered buildings sites, structures or objects within the Historic District. Within 10 days after the Central Permit Bureau refers any permit application to the Department, the Zoning Administrator and the Secretary to the Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board shall determine in writing whether the proposed alteration is a major alteration or a minor alteration. The decision of the Zoning Administrator shall be final. (a) An alteration is considered major if any of the following apply: (1) The alteration will remove or cover an exterior architectural feature or a portion of an exceptionally significant interior as set forth in Section 10, or replace it with substitutes that are inappropriate in material, scale, color or architectural style. This provision shall apply to exceptionally significant interior public spaces designated in Section 10 of said ordinance; or (2) The alteration would affect all or any substantial part of a structure's interior or exterior column or load-bearing wall, exterior walls or exterior ornamentation; or (3) The alteration results in a substantial addition of height above the height of the structure; or (4) The cumulative impacts of serial permits may be determined to be a major alteration. An alteration, in combination

alteration would affect all or any substantial part of a structure's interior or exterior column or load-bearing wall, exterior walls or exterior ornamentation; or (3) The alteration results in a substantial addition of height above the height of the structure; or (4) The cumulative impacts of serial permits may be determined to be a major alteration. An alteration, in combination with other alterations authorized within the preceding five years, shall be deemed a major alteration if the cumulative impact of said alterations may be considered a major alteration as described above.

(b) An alteration is considered minor if the criteria set forth in Subsection (a) do not apply or the work consists of ordinary repair and maintenance. (c) The Department of City Planning in consultation with the Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board, may promulgate Rules and Regulations to distinguish major alterations from minor alterations for this Historic District consistent with this Section 7. (d) Permit applications determined to be for minor alterations shall be returned, with that determination noted, to the Central Permit Bureau for further processing; provided, however, that the Zoning Administrator may take any other otherwise authorized action with respect to the application. (Added by Ord. 413-94, App. 12/23/94) SEC. 8. APPEALS FROM THE LANDMARKS PRESERVATION ADVISORY BOARD AND CITY PLANNING COMMISSION DECISIONS ON CERTIFICATES OF APPROPRIATENESS. (a) Certificate of Appropriateness decisions of the Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board may be appealed to the City Planning Commission pursuant to the provisions of Planning Code Section 1006.8. Nothing in this ordinance shall supersede, impair or modify provisions of the City Charter or laws governing the State of California and the United States of America. All governmental bodies shall work cooperatively with the Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board on proposed exterior and interior changes to ensure that the alteration of buildings within this Historic District comply with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for Rehabilitation, Revised 1990 (and subsequent revisions). (b) This ordinance designating the Civic Center Historic District shall in no way diminish the powers, rights and duties vested in the Art Commission, the War Memorial Board of Trustees, the Library or the Asian Art Museum. It is the intent of the Board of Supervisors, however, to retain its authority, and the authority of the Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board and the Planning Commission, over historic preservation decisions in the Civic Center Historic District in order to ensure the appropriate treatment of the historical elements of this historic district. (c) The entities referenced in Subsection 8(b) above shall consult with the Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board on any proposed interior alterations to the publicly accessible spaces of their buildings, regardless of whether a Certificate of Appropriateness is required by this ordinance or by Article 10. (Added by Ord. 413-94, App. 12/23/94) SEC. 9. STANDARDS FOR REVIEW OF APPLICATIONS. (a) The standards for review of all applications for Certificates of Appropriateness are as set forth in Section 1006.7 of Article 10 and are as follows: (b) For applications pertaining to sites, buildings, structures and objects in the Civic Center Historic District, any alteration, construction, relocation or demolition, shall comply with the standards contained in Section 1017(c), and shall (1) be compatible with respect to height, massing, fenestration, materials, color, texture, detail, style, scale and proportion, signage, landscaping and street furniture which may define the character of the historic district as described in Section 5 of this designating ordinance and in the Civic Center Urban Design Guidelines adopted by the City Planning Commission; and (2) preserve, enhance or restore, and not damage or destroy, the exterior architectural appearance of the subject site, building, structure and object which is compatible with the character of the Historic District. (1) Notwithstanding the foregoing, any exterior change to a site, building, structure and object which is not already compatible with the character of the Historic District shall bring the site, building, structure and object closer to compatibility. Where the required compatibility exists, the application for a Certificate of Appropriateness shall be approved. (2) Except as provided in Planning Code Subsection 1017(d), no application for a demolition permit in a Historic District may be approved until a Certificate of Appropriateness for the replacement structure has been approved by the Landmarks Board. (c) Alterations to Contributory and Contributory/Altered buildings shall be compatible with the architectural and historic character of this Historic District. New construction shall be compatible with the character of the Historic District as described in the Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board San Francisco Civic Center Historic District Case Report and its Appendix A and with the Civic Center Urban Design Guidelines adopted by the City Planning Commission. Said Case Report was adopted by the Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board at its Regular Meeting of October 6, 1993 by Resolution No. 454 and was adopted and amended by the City Planning Commission at its Regular Meeting of July 7, 1994 by Resolution No. 13719 and is contained in Board of Supervisors File No. 115-94-10. (d) Treatment of Stone Surfaces. Numerous structures in the Historic District exhibit stone, terra cotta, or brick exterior surfacing. Proposed treatment of said masonry surfaces with any acid wash, sandblasting, high pressure wash or other abrasive methods is discouraged as such abrasive treatments can severely damage historic masonry surfaces.

SIGNIFICANCE OF INDIVIDUAL BUILDINGS TO THE HISTORIC DISTRICT. The history of each parcel within the Historic District is documented in Appendix A: Survey of Parcels, and is included in the San Francisco Civic Center Historic District Case Report as readopted by the Landmarks Board on October 6, 1993 by Resolution No. 454 and as amended and readopted by the City Planning Commission on July 7, 1994 by Resolution No. 13719 and is located in Board of Supervisors File No. 115-94-10. Each building is assigned a finding from the three following categories:

1. Contributory.This category identifies buildings which date from the Historic District's period of significance (1906 to 1936) which reflect a Beaux Arts style and which retain their historic and architectural integrity. These structures are of the highest importance in maintaining the character of the Historic District. Recognizing the unique character of this Historic District which is derived from its expression of an historic plan, some structures within the Historic District may date from the Historic District's period of significance but do not contribute to the intended original plan in their architecture, detailing, height or scale. Such buildings are designated noncontributory and may be considered for replacement with structures designed in a monumental style and manner which would complete the San Francisco Civic Center Plan as originally conceived. The following buildings are deemed Contributory to the Historic District: Newton Tharp Commercial High School, 170 Fell Street, Lot 1 within Assessor's Block 815; (a portion of Landmark No. 140), Federal Building, 50 Fulton Street, (50 United Nations Plaza) Lot 35 within Assessor's Block 351; Exposition Auditorium, 99 Grove Street, Assessor's Block 812; Department of Public Health, 101 Grove Street/50 Ivy/Lech Walesa Street, Lot 1 in Assessor's Block 811; San Francisco Public Library, 200 Larkin Street, Lot 1 in Assessor's Block 353; Orpheum Theater Building, 1182 - 92 Market Street, Lot 22 in Assessor's Block 351; 1212 Market Street, Lot 3 in Assessor's Block 355; 1240 - 1242 Market Street, Lot 6 in Assessor's Block 355; Hotel Avalon, 1272 - 1276 Market Street, Lot 9 in Assessor's Block 355; 1278 - 1298 Market Street, Lot 10 in Assessor's Block 355; Methodist Book Concern, 83 McAllister Street, Lot 32 in Assessor's Block 351; Old State Office Building, 50 McAllister Street, Lot 2 in Assessor's Block 765; Barbara Apartments, 580 McAllister Street, Lot 8 in Assessor's Block 767; 1 United Nations Plaza (35 - 57 Fulton Street); Lot 37 in Assessor's Block 351; the High School of Commerce, 135 Van Ness Avenue, (a portion of Landmark No. 140), Lot 1 in Assessor's Block 815; War Memorial Opera House, 301 Van Ness Avenue (a portion of Landmark No. 84), Lot 1 in Assessor's Block 786; San Francisco City Hall, 400 Van Ness Avenue (Landmark No. 21), Lot 1 in Assessor's Block 787; War Memorial Veteran's Building, 401 Van Ness Avenue (a portion of Landmark No. 84), Lot 1 in Assessor's Block 786; and, the Corinthian Court Apartments, 500 - 524 Van Ness Avenue, Lot 6 in Assessor's Block 766.

2. Contributory/Altered.This category identifies buildings which date from the Historic District's period of significance and have had alterations as detailed on page 22 of the San Francisco Civic Center Historic District Case Report located in Board of Supervisors File No. 115-94-10. Appropriate restoration of such buildings is encouraged, though in certain situations (see No. 1 above) their demolition and replacement may be more appropriate in order to achieve completion of the original San Francisco Civic Center plan. Such replacement should adhere to any Civic Center Urban Design Guidelines adopted by the City Planning Commission. The following buildings shall be deemed Contributory/Altered within the Historic District: Marye Building, 1200-1208 Market Street, Lot 15 in Assessor's Block 355; 1220-1232 Market Street (29 Grove Street), Lot 4 in Assessor's Block 355; 1236 Market Street (37 - 39 Grove Street), Lot 5 in Assessor's Block 355; the Wells Fargo Building, 1256 - 1264 Market Street, Lot 8 in Assessor's Block 355. The following site shall also be deemed Contributory/Altered within the Historic District: Civic Center Plaza, being all of Block 788.

3. Noncontributory.This category identifies buildings which post-date the Historic District's period of significance or have had their integrity compromised by inappropriate alterations as detailed on page 21 of the San Francisco Civic Center Historic District Case Report. Demolition permit applications for these buildings will be processed without reference to the suspension provisions of Article 10. Alterations to Noncontributory buildings will require Certificate of Appropriateness if determined to be a major alteration in order to minimize conflicts with the historic character of the Historic District. Replacement buildings should adhere to Civic Center Urban Design Guidelines adopted by the City Planning Commission. The remaining buildings shall also be deemed to be Noncontributory within the Historic District: California State Courts Building, 455 Golden Gate Avenue, Lot 3 within Assessor's Block 765; vacant lot, 41 - 47 Grove Street, Lot 12 in Assessor's Block 355; vacant lot, southeast corner of Grove Street at Larkin Street, Lot 11 in Assessor's Block 355; vacant lot, 165 Grove Street, Lot 21 in Assessor's Block 811; Library Annex, 45 Hyde Street, Lot 1 in Assessor's Block 353; the New Main Library, 100 Larkin Street, Lot 1 in Assessor's Block 354; 1170 Market Street, Lot 51 in Assessor's Block 351; 1220 - 1232 Market Street (29 Grove Street), Lot 4 in Assessor's Block 355; 1236 Market Street (37 - 39 Grove Street), Lot 5 in Assessor's Block 355; 1244-1254 Market Street, Lot 7 in Assessor's Block 355; 77 - 79 McAllister Street, Lot 33 in Assessor's Block 351; 456 McAllister Street., Lot 4 in Assessor's Block 766; 460 McAllister Street, Lot 5 in Assessor's Block 766; vacant lot, 401 Polk Street, Lot 2 in Assessor's Block 766; 10 United Nations Plaza, Lot 50 in Assessor's Block 351; Louise M. Davies Symphony Hall, 201 Van Ness Avenue, Lot 1 in Assessor's Block 810; 234 Van Ness Avenue, Lot 18 in Assessor's Block 811; 240 Van Ness Avenue, Lot 19 in Assessor's Block 811 and the Edmund G. Brown State Office Building, 501 Van Ness Avenue, Assessor's Block 767. The Board of Supervisors, through the adoption of this ordinance, shall deem 450 McAllister Street, Lot 3 in Assessor's Block 766, the Civic Center Powerhouse, 320 Larkin Street (298 McAllister Street) Lot 8 in Assessor's Block 347, the San Francisco Art Commission Gallery, 155 Grove Street, Lot 16 in Assessor's Block 811 and the Church of Christ Building, 171-195 Grove Street, Lot 20 in Assessor's Block 811 as Noncontributory buildings.

APPENDIX K TO ARTICLE 10 - BUSH STREET - COTTAGE ROW HISTORIC DISTRICT SEC. 1. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES. The Board of Supervisors hereby finds that the area known and described in this ordinance as the Bush Street - Cottage Row Historic District contains a number of structures having a special character and special historical, architectural and aesthetic interest and value and constitutes a distinct section of the City. The Board of Supervisors further finds the designation of the said area as an Historic District will be in furtherance of and in conformance with the purposes of Article 10 of the City Planning Code and the standards set forth therein, and that the preservation on an areas basis rather than on the basis of the individual structures alone is in order. This ordinance is intended to further the general purpose of historic preservation legislation as set forth in Section 1001 of the City Planning Code, to promote the health, safety and general welfare of the public. (Added by Ord. 324-91, App. 9/4/91)

SEC. 2. DESIGNATION. Pursuant to Section 1004 of the City Planning Code, Chapter II, Part II of the San Francisco Municipal Code, the Bush Street - Cottage Row Historic District is hereby designated as an Historic District, this designation having been duly approved by resolution of the City Planning Commission.

(Added by Ord. 324-91, App. 9/4/91) SEC. 4. RELATION TO REDEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR THE WESTERN ADDITION A-2 PROJECT AREA. Nothing in this Ordinance shall supersede, impair or modify any provisions of the Redevelopment Plan for the Western Addition Redevelopment A-2 Project Area which are applicable to property located in such Redevelopment Project Area and designated part of this Bush Street - Cottage Row Historic District. Procedures found in Planning Code Article 10 shall not apply to the Bush Street - Cottage Row Historic District as long as the Western Addition A-2 Project Area Redevelopment Plan is in effect. The Board of Supervisors urges the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency to work cooperatively with the Landmarks Preservation Advisory Board on proposed exterior alterations within the Bush Street - Cottage Row Historic District. (Added by Ord. 324-91, App. 9/4/91) SEC. 5. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE. The Bush Street - Cottage Row Historic District is a remarkably intact group of architecturally consistent Italianate and Stick residential buildings constructed between 1870 and about 1885. It demonstrates several different modes of speculative housing during those years, from the mass builder The Real Estate Associates, which developed whole square blocks, through investors John H. Smyth and Charles L. Taylor, who built houses to hold and rent out for income, to the single homeowner. This District is rated high on local surveys and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The Bush Street - Cottage Row Historic District comprises 22 residences, a walkway and a small park. There is continuity of height and setback; houses step downhill evenly from the northeast to conform with the land contour; lots are narrow and deep. Almost all the houses were developed in four groups, so that six on Bush Street are essentially identical to each other, as are three different ones on Bush Street, two on Sutter Street and six on Cottage Row. All are two-story frame structures of Italianate or early Stick Style, with channel rustic siding, double-hung windows and paneled entry recess. They are tall, narrow buildings with tall, narrow openings balanced by heavy, bracketed cornices on patently false fronts. All except Cottage Row have bay windows on facade or rear. Since they were originally built, the houses continued to be used as residences, with some alteration due to subdivision into units. At least two residences were resurfaced, and one of these has been restored. The walkway of Cottage row continued until 1944 as part of a single piece of private property with 2109 - 2113 Bush Street and 1 - 6 Cottage Row. The Cottage Row houses were separated into individual ownerships gradually from 1956 - 1967, and only on the last date was the walkway singled out as an individual holding separate from any house. Taylor himself had chosen the name "Cottage Row," which was listed among San Francisco's streets as early as the 1886 Directory. In the 1930s the walkway was popularly called "Japan Street," because the entire District was inhabited by Japanese-Americans until their internment during World War II. In the tiny rear yards of Cottage Row they grew vegetables, which they offered for public sale at an informal weekly open market held every Saturday along the Row.

(a) Article 10 of the Planning Code is the basic law governing historic preservation in the City and County of San Francisco. This ordinance, being a specific application of Article 10, is both subject to and in addition to the provisions thereof. (b) Except as may be specifically provided to the contrary in this ordinance, nothing in this ordinance shall supersede, impair or modify any Planning Code provisions applicable to property in the Dogpatch Historic District, including but not limited to existing and future regulations controlling uses, height, bulk, lot coverage, floor area ratio, required open space, off- street parking and signs. (Added by Ord. 66-03, File No. 020972, App. 4/18/2003) SEC. 5. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE. The Dogpatch Historic District possesses a unique place and significance in the areas of architecture, history, and environment worthy of protection as an historic district. Dogpatch is an approximately nine-block enclave of industrial workers' housing located east of Potrero Hill, in San Francisco's Central Waterfront district. The neighborhood is comprised of almost one- hundred flats and cottages, as well as several industrial, commercial, and civic buildings, most of which were erected between 1870 and 1930. The neighborhood is significant under National Register Criterion A (Events/Patterns of History) and Criterion C (Design/Construction). The neighborhood is significant at the local level under Criterion A (Events/Patterns of History), within the category of Industry, as the oldest and most intact concentration of industrial workers' housing in San Francisco. No other district of San Francisco or California was industrialized to the degree of Potrero Point during the last quarter of the 19th Century. The shipyards and other maritime-related industries of Potrero Point required a steady supply of inexpensive immigrant labor in an area that was geographically cut off from the rest of the City. Local developers and landholders, including Santa Fe Land Improvement Company, responded to this need by constructing rows of inexpensive cottages and selling individual parcels to laborers and their families, allowing the neighborhood to develop as an informal company town. Dogpatch is also significant at the local level under Criterion A (Events/Patterns of History), within the category of Exploration/Settlement, as the first housing developed in the Potrero District. Initially developed in the early 1870s, Dogpatch became the nucleus of the Potrero District that would evolve after the 1906 earthquake. Finally, Dogpatch is significant under Criterion C (Design/Construction), within the category of Architecture, as a moderately intact district of mostly Victorian and Edwardian-era workers' dwellings constructed between 1870 and 1910. Residences within the district reflect vernacular forms of architectural styles that were prevalent throughout the country, including Greek

Revival, Queen Anne, Italianate, Eastlake and Classical Revival styles, or combinations thereof. The district has several clusters, and pairs of identical dwellings, including a group of thirteen identical Eastlake-style cottages based on the plans of San Francisco architect John Cotter Pelton, Jr. While the significance of Union Iron Works/Bethlehem Steel is national in scope, the significance of Dogpatch under this criterion remains local. The period of significance for the district dates from 1867, the opening of Long Bridge and the beginning of construction in the neighborhood, to 1945, the end of World War II. Additional historic information may be found in the Dogpatch Historic District Designation Report, which is hereby incorporated herein as though fully set forth. This document is on file at the Planning Department under Case No. 2002.99775L. (Added by Ord. 66-03, File No. 020972, App. 4/18/2003) SEC. 6. FEATURES. (a) Residential - Features of Existing Buildings. 1. Overall Form and Continuity.Building height is generally within a three-story range, with a substantial number of structures built at one or two stories in height. The majority of structures have been either elevated or altered to allow for the construction of a garage level at grade. However, despite these and other alterations, the majority of residences in the district retain their historic integrity. Residential buildings are generally set back an average of 10 feet from the public right-of-way. 2. Scale and Proportion.The buildings vary in height, bulk, scale and proportion. The width of lots in Dogpatch range from single lots of 20 feet to 40 feet for larger lots. Early homes in Dogpatch constructed circa 1870 were designed in a vernacular style with Greek Revival influences. Later homes continued in the Greek Revival form, but were joined by homes designed in the Queen Anne, Italianate and Classical Revival styles, as well as the Eastlake-styled Pelton Cottages. Multi-story residences are large in bulk, often as great as 3,500 square feet. Smaller cottage-size structures, typically 800 square feet, are well scaled to the smaller lots. 3. Fenestration.Existing fenestration consists of predominantly double-hung, wood sash windows that are vertical in orientation. Residential buildings feature a fairly symmetrical and regular pattern of windows with consistent dimensions along primary facades. Generally, the size and shape of window openings have not been altered over time. 4. Materials.Horizontal rustic wood siding is the traditional cladding material found in the district. However, fishscale wood shingles and asbestos siding are also found throughout the district. 5. Design Features.Recessed porches and entry porticos are characteristic design features of the district. 6. Architectural Detail.Architectural detail found in the district usually follows transitional elements associated with the Greek Revival, Eastlake, Queen Anne, Italianate and Classical Revival architectural styles. (b) Industrial/Commercial - Features of Existing Buildings. 1. Overall Form and Continuity.Building height is generally within a four-story range and many of the industrial/commercial structures are one or two stories in height. Typically, these buildings are constructed closer to the property line than the residential structures found in the district. 2. Scale and Proportion.The buildings are of typical warehouse design, large in bulk, often with large, ground level openings originally designed for rail or vehicular access. Industrial/commercial structures are found throughout the district, often surrounded by residential buildings. While gaps may exists, because of height, bulk and setback, there is regularity to the overall form of industrial/commercial buildings. A small cluster of brick and stucco public buildings (police, fire, and hospital) are easily recognizable from other industrial/commercial structures found in the district. These resources, while offering a different scale and proportion, are compatible with the plain reinforced concrete and brick-faced structures characteristic of 20th century industrial architecture. 3. Fenestration.For the most part, the district's industrial/commercial buildings lack strong fenestration patterns, which typically are not supportive of a warehouse function. Windows exist near entrances and in some cases, offer small storefronts to display products. Early 20th century warehouse buildings were often constructed with office spaces above warehouse functions. In this case, double-hung, residential-type windows can be found. Larger industrial, metal sash windows are prevalent on commercial buildings built after 1920. Door openings are often massive to facilitate easy access of bulk materials. 4. Materials.Standard brick masonry is found on the older industrial/commercial buildings in the district; reinforced concrete was introduced as a cladding material following the earthquake and fire of 1906. Concrete block and stucco are also found on some 20th century, industrial/commercial buildings. 5. Color.Red brick is typical, with some yellow and painted brick. Muted earth tones of red, brown, green, gray, and blue are found on reinforced concrete, concrete block, and stucco- faced buildings. 6. Texture.Typical facing materials give both a rough textured or smooth appearance, depending on the cladding material. 7. Architectural Detail.Industrial and commercial buildings typically lack ornamentation. Warehouses by their very nature are utilitarian; warehouses constructed towards the end of the Dogpatch Historic District period of significance (1943) have even less ornamentation than older counterparts. Cornices are simple and may be abstract versions of more elaborate cornices found on larger, commercial structures in San Francisco's Financial District. Where detail occurs, it is

rnamentation.

Cornices are simple and may be abstract versions of more elaborate cornices found on larger, commercial structures in San Francisco's Financial District. Where detail occurs, it is often found surrounding entryways to industrial/commercial buildings. (Added by Ord. 66-03, File No. 020972, App. 4/18/2003) SEC. 7. STANDARDS FOR REVIEW OF APPLICATIONS.

For purposes of review pursuant to said standards, the character of said Historic District shall mean the features of the Dogpatch Historic District referred to and described in Section 6 of this ordinance. For projects on buildings that have been previously compromised by incompatible alterations or additions, proposed exterior changes which bring these buildings closer to their original, historic appearance and make the buildings more in conformity with the character of the district are encouraged. (b) Residential - Alterations and New Construction. Exterior alterations or new additions to a contributory or non-contributory residential resource in the Dogpatch Historic District shall not destroy historic materials that characterize the resource or its environs. New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction shall not destroy historic materials, features and spatial relationships that characterize the property. Any new work shall be differentiated from the old and shall be compatible with the historic materials, features, size, scale and proportion, and massing to protect the integrity of the property and its environment, and must conform to the following provisions: 1. False Historicism.False historicism and the conjectural replication of historic styles and details is discouraged; if restoration is the selected alteration approach, historic documentation through original architectural plans, historic photographs, or physical investigation will be required. Where original plans or historic photographs are unavailable, close physical examination of the building and existing scar traces, along with a comparison to buildings of the same age and style in the neighborhood, may be sufficient to reveal evidence necessary to guide the restoration. 2. Materials.Horizontal rustic wood siding is the traditional cladding material in the district and its use is encouraged over other cladding materials, including wood shingles (except where appropriate). 3. Fenestration.Fenestration should be proportionate and in scale with traditional patterns within the district. Double-hung wood sash windows are encouraged over vinyl or metal sash windows. "Slider" windows of vinyl or aluminum construction are discouraged, especially on primary facades. True divided lites, rather than snap-in or faux muntins, are encouraged when divided lite wood windows are appropriate. 4. Style.New construction in a contemporary, yet compatible, idiom is encouraged. 5. Scale and Proportion.New construction must be compatible with the massing, size, scale and architectural details of residential resources found in the district. 6. Setbacks.New construction should conform to existing setback patterns found in the district. 7. Roofline.Gabled roof forms and raised parapets are encouraged on new construction. 8. Detailing.Detailing on new construction should relate to the simple, traditional vernacular forms found in the district.

(c) Industrial/Commercial - Alterations and New Construction. Exterior alterations or new additions to a contributory or non-contributory industrial/commercial resource in the Dogpatch Historic District shall not destroy historic materials that characterize the resource or its environs. New additions, exterior alterations, or related new construction shall not destroy historic materials, features and spatial relationships that characterize the property. Any new work shall be differentiated from the old and shall be compatible with the historic materials, features, size, scale and proportion, and massing to protect the integrity of the property and its environment, and must conform to the following provisions: 1. Materials.The traditional cladding materials of industrial/commercial structures found in the district are brick, reinforced concrete, cinder block, and stucco; they are encouraged over other cladding materials. 2. Fenestration.Fenestration should be proportionate and in scale with traditional patterns within the district. Wood or metal sash windows are encouraged, while"slider" windows of vinyl or aluminum construction on either industrial or commercial buildings are discouraged. 3. Roofline.Flat roof forms are encouraged on industrial and/or commercial structures; gabled roof forms may be appropriate for commercial structures that include residential upper floors. 4. Parapets.Raised parapets are typically found on industrial and/or commercial structures in the Dogpatch Historic District and are encouraged where appropriate. Parapets should be kept to a minimum height necessary to screen rooftop equipment, or to facilitate characteristic design features. 5. Design Features.The addition of bay windows, porches, balconies or other typically residential features to new or existing industrial/ commercial structures in the district are discouraged. These elements may be appropriate on commercial structures that include residential upper floors. 6. Style.New construction in a contemporary, yet compatible, idiom is encouraged. 7. Scale and Proportion.New construction must be compatible with the massing, size, scale and architectural details of industrial/commercial resources found in the Dogpatch Historic District. 8. Setbacks.New construction should conform to existing setback patterns found in the district. 9. Detailing.Detailing on new construction should relate to the simple, traditional vernacular forms found on industrial/commercial structures in the district. (d) Ordinary Maintenance and Repair. A Certificate of Appropriateness shall not be required if the work consists of ordinary maintenance and repair, which is defined in Article 10 as any work the sole purpose and effect of which is to correct deterioration, decay or damage, including repair of damage caused by fire or other disaster. (e) Garages and Garage Doors. The addition of garages at the front elevation of residential buildings shall seek to minimize the physical and visual impacts on the significant architectural features of the existing building. The design of garages and garage doors should be unobtrusive and simple, with an emphasis on minimal size and dimensions of the structure as well as the door opening. Garage doors should be recessed from the garage structure to create an adequate shadow line, with wood being the preferable material. While remaining simple and unobtrusive, the design of the garage door may relate to the existing residence in material, detail and orientation. Retention of historic side-hinged garage doors is encouraged. (f) Masonry, Brickwork and Stonework. A Certificate of Appropriateness shall be required for painting previously unpainted masonry, brick or stone exterior surfaces, for cleaning such surfaces with abrasives and/or treatment of such surfaces with waterproofing chemicals. The painting of unpainted masonry, brickwork and stonework is discouraged. Sandblasting and certain chemical treatment detrimental to masonry will not be approved. (g) Demolition. Demolition of Contributory buildings shall be subject to the maximum controls allowed under Article 10 of the Planning Code. A demolition permit shall not be issued until all other required permits for new replacement construction have been approved. No application for a demolition permit shall be deemed complete until all building permits for the replacement structure, preferably located on the demolition site, have been approved. (h) Seismic Upgrade. Seismic upgrades shall seek to minimize the alteration of the significant architectural features of a structure. Proposed Unreinforced Masonry Building (UMB) upgrades should follow the "Architectural Design Guide for Exterior Treatments of Unreinforced Masonry Buildings during Seismic Retrofit," prepared by the American Institute of Architects. When enforcing the terms of this provision during seismic upgrade work, due consideration shall be given to approving modest alterations for seismic upgrade purposes when enforcing the terms of these provisions, for example, the replacement of relatively unobtrusive building elements such as a brick foundation on a wood frame building.

An architectural description, building history and evaluation of each parcel within the Historic District is documented on the State of California - Department of Parks and Recreation Primary Record (DPR 523A - descriptive) survey forms and Building, Structure, and Object Record (DPR 523B - evaluative) survey forms. These forms are part of the Dogpatch Historic Resource Survey which was endorsed by the Landmarks Board on October 17, 2001 (Resolution No. 545), and then by the Planning Commission on December 13, 2001 (Resolution No. 16300). These survey forms are hereby incorporated herein as

d (DPR 523A - descriptive) survey forms and Building, Structure, and Object Record (DPR 523B - evaluative) survey forms. These forms are part of the Dogpatch Historic Resource Survey which was endorsed by the Landmarks Board on October 17, 2001 (Resolution No. 545), and then by the Planning Commission on December 13, 2001 (Resolution No. 16300). These survey forms are hereby incorporated herein as though fully set forth, and is [sic] on file at the Planning Department under Case No. 2002.0775L. It is important to note that street address numbers are subject to change, and that the most reliable, official method for identifying a property within the Historic District is to refer to it by its assigned Assessor Block and Lot number. Each building is assigned to either of the two following categories. Contributory.This category identifies buildings, which date from the Historic District's period of significance and retain their historic integrity. These structures are of the highest importance in maintaining the character of the Historic District. The category also includes buildings which date from the Historic District's period of significance, but have had their historic integrity compromised by inappropriate alterations. Appropriate restoration of such buildings is encouraged. The maximum suspension period allowable under Article 10 shall be imposed on applications for demolition of Contributory buildings. The following buildings are deemed Contributory to the Historic District: 2300 3rd St., 2310 3rd St., 2342 - 44 3rd St., 2476 - 78 3rd St., 2500 - 02 3rd St., 2518 - 20 3rd St., 2620 3rd St., 2624 - 26 3rd St., 2628 - 32 3rd St., 2636 - 38 3rd St., 707 18th St., 700 - 02 22nd St., 714 22nd St., 718 22nd St., 726 - 32 22nd St., 800 - 02 22nd St., 806 22nd St., 807 22nd St., 808 - 10 22nd St., 812 - 14 22nd St., 816 - 18 22nd St., 820 - 24 22nd St., 825 - 29 22nd St., 833 22nd St., 834 - 40 22nd St., 845 & 849 22nd St., 894 - 98 22nd St., 900 - 02 22nd St., 904 - 22 22nd St., 890 - 900 Minnesota St., 903 Minnesota St., 905 Minnesota St., 907 Minnesota St., 909 Minnesota St., 911 Minnesota St., 913 Minnesota St., 914 - 16 Minnesota St., 915 Minnesota St., 917 - 919 Minnesota St., 918 Minnesota St., 920 - 22 Minnesota St., 921 Minnesota St., 923 Minnesota St., 924 - 26 Minnesota St., 930 - 32 Minnesota St., 934 Minnesota St., 944 - 46 Minnesota St., 945 - 47 Minnesota St., 948 - 50 Minnesota St., 949 - 51 Minnesota St., 952 - 54 Minnesota St., 958 Minnesota St., 962 - 64 Minnesota St., 966 - 68 Minnesota St., 972 - 76 Minnesota St., 694 Tennessee St., 700 - 02 Tennessee St., 704 Tennessee St., 712 - 16 Tennessee St., 718 - 20 Tennessee St., 724 - 26 Tennessee St., 730 - 32 Tennessee St., 740 Tennessee St., 800 - 50 Tennessee St., 900 Tennessee St., 909 Tennessee St., 950 Tennessee St., 970 Tennessee St., 997 - 99 Tennessee St., 1002 Tennessee St., 1004 Tennessee St., 1008 Tennessee St., 1010 Tennessee St., 1011 Tennessee St., 1012 Tennessee St., 1014 Tennessee St., 1015 - 21 Tennessee St., 1016 - 18 Tennessee St., 1036 Tennessee St., 1042 Tennessee St., 1045 - 47 Tennessee St., 1049 - 51 Tennessee St., 1053 Tennessee St., 1059 - 1061 Tennessee St., 1060 Tennessee St., 1063 - 65 Tennessee St., 1067 Tennessee St., 1074 - 76 Tennessee St., 1077 - 79 Tennessee St., 1078 - 80 Tennessee St., 1100 Tennessee St., 1101 - 03 Tennessee St., 1104 - 06 Tennessee St., 1105 - 07 Tennessee St., 1108 - 10 Tennessee St., 1109 - 11 Tennessee St., 1112 - 14 Tennessee St., 1113 - 15 Tennessee St., 1116 - 18 Tennessee St., 1133 - 35 Tennessee St., 1139 Tennessee St., 1159 - 63 Tennessee St., 1195 Tennessee St., 1199 Tennessee St. Noncontributory.This category identifies buildings which postdate the Historic District's period of significance. Demolition permit applications for these buildings will be processed without reference to the suspension provisions of Article 10. Alterations to Noncontributory buildings would require Certificate of Appropriateness review in order to ensure that alterations and new construction would be compatible with the historic character of the District in terms of scale, massing, fenestration, materials and detail. The remaining buildings shall be deemed to be Noncontributory within the Historic District: 2514 3rd Street, 2604 - 08 3rd Street, 2642 - 46 3rd Street, 795 22nd St., 798 22nd St., 825 Minnesota St., 910 - 12 Minnesota St., 670 - 72 Tennessee St., 674 - 82 Tennessee St., 690 Tennessee St., 748 - 50 Tennessee St., 760 Tennessee St., 780 Tennessee St., 790 Tennessee St., 870 - 90 Tennessee St., 901 Tennessee St., 991 Tennessee St., 993 Tennessee St., 1001 Tennessee St., 1005 Tennessee St., 1006 Tennessee St., 1007 Tennessee St., 1009 Tennessee St., 1025 Tennessee St., 1069 Tennessee St., 1117 - 19 Tennessee St., 1120 - 22 Tennessee St., 1121 - 23 Tennessee St., 1124 - 28 Tennessee St., 1129 - 31 Tennessee St., 1167 - 69 Tennessee St., 1191 - 93 Tennessee St. (Added by Ord. 66-03, File No. 020972, App. 4/18/2003) SEC. 9. PAINT COLOR. Nothing in this legislation shall be construed to regulate paint colors within the District. (Added by Ord. 66-03, File No. 020972, App. 4/18/2003) SEC. 10. ADDITIONS.

Additions to existing buildings and new infill construction proposed within the Dogpatch Historic District must reflect an understanding of the relationship of the proposal with the contributing buildings within the district. Additions shall be reviewed for compatibility with the historic building and the district while infill constriction shall be reviewed for compatibility with the overall district. Neither should directly imitate nor replicate existing features. For additions, every effort should be made to minimize the visibility of the new structure within the district. Infill construction should reflect the character of the district, including the prevailing heights of contributing buildings without creating a false sense of history. Property owners should consult early in the process with a Planning Department Historic Preservation Technical Specialist when developing a proposal. Additions will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis and any proposed addition should be located in an inconspicuous location and not result in a radical change to the form or character of the historic building. A vertical addition may be approved, depending on how the addition impacts the building and its relative visibility from the surrounding public rights-of-way within the district. The Planning Department evaluates all proposals for properties identified under Article 10 of the Planning Code for compliance with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards (36 C.F.R. § 67.7 (2001)). Based on these Standards, Department staff uses the following criteria when reviewing proposals for vertical additions: • The structure respects the general size, shape, and scale of the features associated with the property and the district and the structure is connected to the property in a manner that does not alter, change, obscure, damage, or destroy any of the character-defining features of the property and the district. • The design respects the general historic and architectural characteristics associated with the property and the district without replicating historic styles or elements that will result in creating a false sense of history. • The materials are compatible with the property or district in general character, color and texture. As part of the Planning Department review process, the project sponsor shall conduct and submit an analysis that illustrates the relative visibility of a proposed vertical addition from within the district. As part of this analysis, sightline cross-sections and perspective drawings illustrating the proportionality and scale, as well as the visible extent of the addition from prescribed locations should be submitted. When a district provides an opportunity for new construction through existing vacant parcels or by replacing non-contributing buildings, a sensitive design is of critical importance. Historic buildings within the district should be utilized and referenced for design context. Contemporary design that respects the District's existing character-defining features without replicating historic designs is encouraged. The Department uses the following criteria when reviewing proposals for infill construction: • The structure respects the general size, shape, and scale of the character-defining features associated with the district and its relationship to the character-defining features of the immediate neighbors and the district. • The site plan respects the general site characteristics associated with the district. • The design respects the general character-defining features associated with the district • The materials are compatible with the district in general character, color, and texture. • The only instance where a replication of an original design may be appropriate is the replacement of a missing structure in a row of identical houses.

APPENDIX M TO ARTICLE 10 - MARKET STREET MASONRY HISTORIC DISTRICT SEC. 1. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES. The Board of Supervisors hereby finds that the area known and described in this ordinance as the Market Street Masonry Historic District contains a number of structures having a special character and special historical, architectural and aesthetic interest and value, and constitutes a distinct section of the City. The Board of Supervisors further finds that designation of said area as a Historic District will be in furtherance of and in conformance with the purposes of Article 10 of the Planning Code and the standards set forth therein, and that preservation on an area basis rather than on the basis of individual structures alone is in order. This ordinance is intended to further the general purpose of historic preservation legislation as set forth in Section 1001 of the Planning Code, to promote the health, safety and general welfare of the public. (Added by Ord. 64-13, File No. 121004, App. 4/17/2013, Eff. 5/17/2013)

SEC. 2. DESIGNATION. Pursuant to Section 1004 of the Planning Code, the Market Street Masonry Historic District is hereby designated as a Historic District, this designation having been duly recommended for approval by Resolution No. 690 of the Historic Preservation Commission and comments transmitted by the Planning Commission by Resolution No. 18707, which Resolutions are on file with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors under File No. 121004 and which Resolutions are incorporated herein and made part hereof as though fully set forth.

The location and boundaries of the Market Street Masonry Historic District include the following eight (8) buildings and Assessor Parcel Numbers: 150 Franklin Street (Block and Lot No. 0834/012); 20 Franklin Street, aka 1580-1598 Market Street (Block and Lot No. 0836/010); 1649-1651 Market Street (Block and Lot No. 3504/001); 1657 Market Street (Block and Lot No. 3504/046); 1666-1668 Market Street (Block and Lot No. 0854/004); 1670-1680 Market Street (Block and Lot No. 0854/005); 1687 Market Street (Block and Lot No. 3504/040); and 1693-1695 Market Street (Block and Lot No. 3504/038); and shall be as designated on the Market Street Masonry Historic District Map, the original of which is on file with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors in File No. 121004, which Map is hereby incorporated herein as though fully set forth. (Added by Ord. 64-13, File No. 121004, App. 4/17/2013, Eff. 5/17/2013) SEC. 4. RELATION TO PLANNING CODE AND THE PROVISIONS OF THE CHARTER OF THE CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO. (a) Article 10 of the Planning Code is the basic law governing historic preservation in the City and County of San Francisco. This ordinance, being a specific application of Article 10, is both subject to and in addition to the provisions thereof. (b) Except as may be specifically provided to the contrary in this ordinance, nothing in this ordinance shall supersede, impair or modify any Planning Code provisions applicable to property in the Market Street Masonry Historic District, including but not limited to existing and future regulations controlling uses, height, bulk, lot coverage, floor area ratio, required open space, off-street parking and signs. (Added by Ord. 64-13, File No. 121004, App. 4/17/2013, Eff. 5/17/2013) SEC. 5. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE. Eight architecturally significant buildings located between Franklin and Valencia Streets comprise the Market Street Masonry Historic District. Highly regarded master architects such as August Nordin, G. Albert Lansburgh, Conrad A. Meussdorffer, and George Applegarth worked in the popular revival styles of the early 20th-century such as Classical Revival, Colonial Revival, and Venetian Gothic Revival. The architects utilized a formal three-part arrangement consisting of a base (often with a commercial storefront), main portion or column (often with residential floors), and decorative top with either a projecting cornice or decorative parapet. All buildings comprising this non-contiguous historic district are three to six stories tall and are fully built out, covering their entire lot. Most are mixed-use with commercial ground floor uses and residential above. Built between 1911 and 1925, following the 1906 Earthquake and Fire, and responding to new building codes, they influenced the visual transition of San Francisco from a city of wood and brick, to one of brick veneer, concrete, and stucco. Projecting bay windows – a long-standing feature in San Francisco – visually reinforce the vertical emphasis, while increasing the light and air into the interior of many of the buildings. The buildings are executed in earthquake and fire-resistant materials with steel frames, reinforced concrete, brick, and galvanized metal ornament. While each building is unique, they relate to each other as a group because of the period in which they were constructed, their high-style design, and fire-proof masonry construction. All of the buildings are well-preserved examples and retain character-defining features, such as elaborate metal cornices, pattern brickwork, historic storefronts with glass transom lights, bronze plate glass window frames and decorative bases. Additional historic information may be found in the Market Street Masonry Historic District Designation Report, which is hereby incorporated herein as though fully set forth. This document is on file at the Planning Department under Case No. 2011.0705L. (Added by Ord. 64-13, File No. 121004, App. 4/17/2013, Eff. 5/17/2013) SEC. 6. SIGNIFICANCE OF INDIVIDUAL BUILDINGS TO THE LANDMARK DISTRICT. A district is usually a single geographic area of contiguous historic properties; however, a district may also be composed of multiple definable significant resources separated by non- significant areas. The Market Street Masonry discontiguous district is composed of eight buildings on four blocks that are spatially discrete. The space between the buildings is not related to the significance of the district. While all buildings can be seen from the intersection of Market and Franklin Streets, the visual continuity is not a factor in the significance. Each of the eight discontiguous buildings are contributory to the Market Street Masonry Historic District. An architectural description, building history and evaluation of each parcel within the Historic District is documented in the Market Street Masonry Historic District Designation Report and are hereby incorporated herein as though fully set forth. It is important to note that street address numbers are subject to change, and that the most reliable, official method for identifying a property within the Landmark District is to refer to it by its assigned Assessor Block and Lot number. (Added by Ord. 64-13, File No. 121004, App. 4/17/2013, Eff. 5/17/2013) SEC. 7. FEATURES OF THE DISTRICT AND

reby incorporated herein as though fully set forth. It is important to note that street address numbers are subject to change, and that the most reliable, official method for identifying a property within the Landmark District is to refer to it by its assigned Assessor Block and Lot number. (Added by Ord. 64-13, File No. 121004, App. 4/17/2013, Eff. 5/17/2013) SEC. 7. FEATURES OF THE DISTRICT AND EXISTING BUILDINGS. The character-defining features of the Market Street Masonry Historic District include all exterior elevations, including rooflines, of each of the eight buildings. The following section describes in further detail character-defining features of the District and of individual buildings contained therein. Historic District designation is intended to protect and preserve these character-defining features. (a) Overall Form, Continuity, Scale and Proportion. All buildings are built to the property lines, rise vertically without setbacks, and have flat roofs. Building height is within a three- to-six story range, with one building at three stories, one at four, four at five stories, and two at six stories in height. All buildings in the district retain their historic integrity. The buildings are consistent in height, bulk, scale and proportion. (b) Fenestration. Existing fenestration consists of predominantly double-hung, wood sash windows that are vertical in orientation; however, industrial steel sash is found, as are awning and casement sash. Buildings feature a symmetrical and regular pattern of windows with consistent dimensions along primary facades. Aside from some ground floor commercial storefronts, the size and shape of window openings have not been altered over time. Replacement window sash that were added to buildings after the period of significance have not gained significance in their own right. (c) Materials and Finishes. Unpainted brick is the predominant cladding material found in five of the eight buildings in the district; however, painted stucco on concrete is found on three buildings in the district. Galvanized sheet iron is used extensively for decorative features and the cladding of projecting bay windows. (d) Architectural Details. There are no character-defining interior features or spaces included in this designation. The character-defining exterior features of the buildings are: (1) 150 Franklin Street.

(e) Landscape Elements. All properties in the Historic District are built to their respective lot lines, and do not have landscape features. Streets, sidewalks and other public spaces are present in this dense urban environment, but are incidental, rather than integral to the significance of the buildings. Streets and sidewalks are not included as character-defining features. Public landscape elements are therefore specifically excluded from this designation. (f) Additional features of the Historic District are documented in the Market Street Masonry Historic District Designation Report within the section entitled "Common Characteristics of Buildings in the Market Street Masonry District," and are hereby incorporated herein as though fully set forth, and are on file at the Planning Department under Case No. 2011.0705L.

(Added by Ord. 107-13 , File No. 130070, App. 6/13/2013, Eff. 7/13/2013) SEC. 5. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE. The Duboce Park Historic District is a three-block residential enclave in the Duboce Triangle neighborhood that is immediately adjacent to and shares a common development history with Duboce Park, a small civic park. The district is comprised of 87 residential buildings and the stone steps and Serpentine rock retaining walls at the three interior block park entrances: Carmelita, Pierce, and Potomac Streets. The district is significant for its unusual development history and architectural expression, as described below. The Duboce Park Historic District is significant for the unusual development history of the contested tract of land upon which it was built and the way in which the contested nature of the tract impacted the district's physical appearance and connection to the adjacent park. The tract (formerly known as the Public Reservation, Hospital Lot, and Marion Tract) was subject to a decades-long series of court battles over legal ownership, with the City of San Francisco losing half of its claim to the land to the German Savings and Loan Association in the late 1890s. After acquiring title to half of the tract, the bank subdivided the land, carved out interior block streets, and sold lots to builders who developed the residential portion of the tract. The lots sold quickly and a handful of builders immediately began developing the parcels. Due to the delay in development caused by the litigation, construction dates for the vast majority of contributing resources within the district range from 1899 to approximately 1902. This short period of development and limited number of builders resulted in a remarkably uniform streetscape of Victorian- and Edwardian-era houses and flats of similar design and proportion. The contested nature of the tract, its history as a debris dump, and neighborhood activism and development of the adjacent civic park are key themes linked to the Duboce Park Historic District. One important visible manifestation of this interrelated history is found at the park's northern border – specifically the lack of separation between the park and residential buildings. The district represents the best example of San Francisco's handful of municipal parks that directly abut residential buildings, without any separation of a street or sidewalk. In addition, the historic stone steps and rock retaining walls at the three interior block park entrances – Carmelita, Pierce, and Potomac Streets – reflect the transformation of the City-owned portion of the contested tract from a dumping ground for Serpentine rock rubble to a picturesque, landscaped civic park. Serpentine rock rubble is also found in the foundations of many district buildings. The Duboce Park Historic District is also significant for its architectural expression as a remarkably intact grouping of Victorian- and Edwardian-era residential buildings. The district expresses the distinctive characteristics of late Victorian- and Edwardian-era architectural styles, with the Queen Anne style widely represented. Although the district displays a remarkable variety of ornament, unifying design features include asymmetrical and articulated façades, steep roof pitches, the use of multiple textures and wood cladding, and front yard setbacks. Many of the Queen Anne cottages and flats were developed by Fernando Nelson, a master builder known for his exuberant ornamentation and elabo

style widely represented. Although the district displays a remarkable variety of ornament, unifying design features include asymmetrical and articulated façades, steep roof pitches, the use of multiple textures and wood cladding, and front yard setbacks. Many of the Queen Anne cottages and flats were developed by Fernando Nelson, a master builder known for his exuberant ornamentation and elaborately applied millwork. Nelson designed and built approximately one half of the district properties, including nearly all of the residences on Carmelita and Pierce Streets. The district represents one of the earliest developments in his 77-year career and is an excellent representation of his effusive interpretation of the Queen Anne style. District features characteristic of Nelson's Victorian-era period include button boards, drips, and donuts; blocky geometric cut-outs above the entry porch; two-sided bay windows; half-circle rows of dentils located in gable ends; and a wavy, stylized quarter-sunburst detailed at the arched entry. The turn-of-the-century development of buildings within the district often resulted in a rare fusion of Edwardian-era massing with exuberant Victorian-era detailing. It is common in the district for Edwardian-era flats to feature unusually ornamented spandrel panels and decorative friezes and several are capped with the gable roof form more commonly associated with Queen Anne style buildings. The period of significance for the Duboce Park Historic District dates from 1899 to 1911, inclusive of the known period of construction of all buildings within the district. Additional historic information may be found in the Duboce Park Historic District Designation Report, which is hereby incorporated herein as though fully set forth. This document is on file at the Planning Department under Case No. 2011.0683L. (Added by Ord. 107-13 , File No. 130070, App. 6/13/2013, Eff. 7/13/2013) SEC. 6. FEATURES OF THE DISTRICT AND EXISTING BUILDINGS. The character-defining interior features of buildings in the district are identified as: None. The character-defining exterior features of buildings in the district are identified as: All exterior elevations and roof lines as described below. The character-defining landscape elements of the district are identified as: The rustic interior block park entrances at Carmelita, Pierce, and Potomac Streets – which include the historic stone steps, Serpentine rock retaining walls set in a random rubble pattern, and the public rights-of-way within a 10-foot buffer – and the lack of physical separation between the park and adjacent buildings. The following section describes in further detail the character-defining features of the district and of individual buildings and landscape elements contained therein. Historic district designation is intended to protect and preserve these character-defining features. a) Overall Form, Continuity, Scale and Proportion. Due to the brief period of construction – most buildings were constructed between 1899 and 1902 – and combined involvement of two primary builders, buildings within the district exhibit a remarkable consistency in terms of massing, scale, style, detailing, front yard setback, and feeling. District buildings are overwhelmingly residential, being composed primarily of single-family dwellings and residential flats. A few multiple-family residences within the district (typically located on street corners) also include a commercial use at the street level. Buildings in the district range from 1½ story-over-basement to four stories in height, with two and three stories predominating. The district's largest single-family residences and flats were built on corner lots directly adjacent to the Park. These buildings are typically two- to three- stories in height and feature consistent detailing on the primary, Park-facing, and rear façades. Generally speaking, the buildings fronting Carmelita, Pierce and Potomac Streets were originally constructed as one- or two-family dwellings, while flats dominated the lots facing

Waller and Steiner Streets. Mid-block buildings are typically smaller than those constructed at the corners or on Waller and Steiner streets and are more likely to draw from Victorian-era form and massing such as prominent gabled roof forms and asymmetrical massing at the primary façade. Though consistent in massing, single-family buildings on Potomac Street feature the greatest variety of roof forms, including gable, hipped, cross-gable, and one building with a side gable roof form and small eyebrow dormers. Buildings located along the interior blocks feature uniform front yard setbacks of approximately nine feet and are often bounded by a low cast stone site wall. The flats buildings on Steiner Street do not feature front yard setbacks; rather, they present a modulated massing of muscular bay windows and deeply recessed entry porticos. The Queen Anne style buildings present in the district may be subdivided into two basic arrangements: 1½ story-over-raised-basement single-family cottages, and 2½ story-over-raised- basement single family dwellings or flats. The buildings tend to conform to a basic plan of a projecting bay on the first floor, flanked by an open porch and entry to the side-with the porch entry often surmounted by spindle work or decorative porch brackets. Roof forms are hipped or steeply pitched front-facing gables. Slightly projecting second story overhangs are common. Edwardian-era flats building are three stories-over-basement in height with wide projecting structural window bays, featuring angled- or bent-sash windows. The roofline of Edwardian- era flats buildings feature projecting cornices that follow the profiles of the primary façades. The buildings are typically topped with flat roofs, though several feature gable roof forms. Massing is symmetrical, except at the first story, where the two structural bays are occupied by a recessed entrance at one side and a projecting bay window at the other. Original roof projections include turrets topped with witch's cap or conical roof forms and small-scale cross-gables atop projecting bay windows. Turrets, found on both Queen Anne and Edwardian-era buildings, are generally located at the corner, adjacent to or embedded within a forward-facing gable. Additionally, several buildings exhibit what appear to be historic dormers. Located on sloped gables, these dormers are small in scale, gabled, and match the ornamentation and fenestration of primary façades. Although the roof forms – particularly at the non-visible rear façade – of a substantial number of buildings have been altered to incorporate skylights, small dormer windows, fire escapes, or solar panels, these alterations were constructed outside of the Period of significance and have not gained significance in their own right. Similar roof forms, massing, and setbacks result in a cohesive streetscape of rooflines, entrances, continuous primary façades, and modulated bays. With no visual separation between buildings in the district, the block faces present an overall appearance of attached row-houses; however, with a few exceptions, it is unlikely that buildings feature shared structural walls. b) Fenestration. Fenestration is remarkably consistent throughout the district, consisting of vertically oriented double-hung wood sash windows, with ogee lugs, set in wood surrounds. Windows are typically set in wide angled bays with smaller windows set flush with the façade, often adjacent to the primary entry door. Windows surround are typically topped with cornices, occasionally featuring pediments, with ornamented details. Smaller vertically oriented windows, set in a single, pair, or ganged configuration, are also often located in the tympanum of the Queen Anne style buildings. Tympanums typically have a higher solid-to-void ratio than the lower stories. Several buildings – typically Edwardian-era flats buildings – feature curved wood sash windows set in curved structural bays. Angled or curved bays typically contain three windows, though certain bays of corner buildings contain four windows. While rare, several buildings display two-sided angled bay windows at the primary façade. Large corner buildings with greater surface area have a higher solid-to-void ratio than mid-block buildings. Window bays and window openings set flush with the façade are typically placed in the same location, presenting a stacked appearance, at each story of the three story comer buildings. The vast majority of buildings within the district retain some or all historic double-hung wood sash windows with ogee lugs. Replacement windows made of aluminum or vinyl sash, casement windows, or windows with divided lights that were added to buildings after the Period of significance have not gained significance in their own right. c) Materials & Finishes. Buildings in the district are of wood frame construction and were historically clad in horizontal wood siding. Exterior surface finishes are painted. Channel drop wood siding is typical at the secondary and rear façades, while a combination of flush, lap, channel drop, and shingles are typically found at the primary façades of Victorian-era buildings. Flush wood siding is most common on the primary façades of Edwardian-era flats buildings. Most buildings retain their historic siding though a few were later clad in stucco, asbestos, or composite shingle siding. These replacement sidings have not gained significance in their own right. Historically, the gabled roofs within the district were clad in unpainted wood shingles. These historic roofing materials are no longer present. Existing gable roofs are typically finished with asphalt or composite shingles that match the color and tone of the historic wood roofing materials. Though generally compatible, this replacement roofing material has not gained significance in its own right. d) Architectural Details. Common traits found throughout the district are

s. These historic roofing materials are no longer present. Existing gable roofs are typically finished with asphalt or composite shingles that match the color and tone of the historic wood roofing materials. Though generally compatible, this replacement roofing material has not gained significance in its own right. d) Architectural Details. Common traits found throughout the district are bay windows, gable roofs, decorative cornices, ornamental shingles, and spindle work, as well as more classically influenced detailing such as dentils, pediments, columns, and applied plaster ornament. Ornamental details are typically larger and more robust in scale at the first story, with finer, more delicate features located at the upper floors. Many of the district's buildings retain their original primary entrance doors. These paneled wood doors, often slightly wider than contemporary entrance doors, are commonly glazed at the upper portion and feature corniced hoods and incised or applied ornament. Occasionally, a single fixed window is located adjacent to the entry door of Queen Anne buildings and some doors, of both Queen Anne and Edwardian-era buildings, are topped with transom windows. Queen Anne Design Elements Late Victorian- and Edwardian-era architectural styles predominate, with the Queen Anne style most widely represented. Though Victorian-era architectural design displayed a remarkable variety of ornament, unifying features include asymmetrical and articulated façades, steep roof pitches, and the use of multiple textures, materials and colors. Many of the Queen Anne style buildings on Potomac Street, designed by developer George Moore, stand out for their muscular massing, restrained ornament, projecting second story overhangs, and hipped roof forms. In contrast, the developer Fernando Nelson designed most of the Queen Anne buildings on Pierce, Potomac, and Waller streets, to reflect his embrace of more exuberant and delicate architectural features, including spindle screens, turrets, and cut-outs. Architectural details commonly found on Queen Anne buildings throughout the district include raked cornices, flared eaves, shingled tympanums, diamond and fish-scale shingling, turrets (particularly at corner buildings), projecting bracketed cornices, steeply pitched gable roofs, double-gables, finials, geometric applied ornament at spandrel panels, dentils, friezes decorated with plaster ornament, egg and dart molding, cut-out screens, sunbursts, donut cut-outs, intermediate cornices, window and door hoods, spindle screens, turned wood balustrades and newel posts, Tudor-inspired stick work, turned wood porch supports, a variety of wood cladding and patterned wood shingles, arched porticos, and Corinthian or Composite columns and pilasters. Anthropomorphic details are rare but present within the district. Historically, there were several types of stairs constructed in the district: longer flights of wood stairs that typically project out from Queen Anne style buildings and shorter flights typically found within the recessed entries of Edwardian-era flats buildings. The Queen Anne buildings on interior block streets are typically accessed via a straight run flight of wood stairs. Due to the slope, stairs on the west side of these blocks are significantly longer than those on the east. Historically, wood stairs on these interior blocks were solid and uniform in appearance: featured closed risers, solid cheek walls beneath the stairs, turned wood balustrades, and capped newel posts; and had a painted finish. Some flights of stairs were later replaced with brick, concrete, tile, or terrazzo. These replacement stairs have not gained significance in their own right. Edwardian-Era Design Elements Edwardian-era buildings, referred to locally as Classical Revival, were constructed in San Francisco from approximately 1901 to 1910. The term Edwardian is used architecturally to describe a more vernacular interpretation of the Classical Revival style and is commonly applied to three-unit flats buildings – like those found within the district – with wide angled or round bay windows, flat roofs, bulky projecting cornices, and columned porch entries. Edwardian-era buildings within the district, particularly those on Steiner Street, feature wood or terrazzo steps with solid cheek walls and landings. These stairs are typically located largely within the building envelope and provide access to recessed entrance doors. Entrances of Edwardian-era flats in the district are typically flanked by Classical columns or pilasters, and decorated with applied plaster ornament, such as garlands and floral friezes. Architectural ornament associated with the Edwardian-era is typically more restrained than those used during the Victorian-era. The turn-of-the-century development of buildings within the district, however, often resulted in a fusion of Edwardian-era massing with exuberant Victorian-era detailing. It is common in the district for Edwardian-era flats to feature unusually ornamented spandrel panels and decorative friezes and several are capped with the gable roof form more commonly associated with Queen Anne style buildings. e) Landscape Elements. Properties within the district typically feature uniform front yard setbacks on each block face. Setbacks on the west side of interior blocks are generally much deeper – typically 13' to 17' – than the east side, which, depending upon the block, range from approximately 5' to 13'. Setbacks on the western portion of Waller Street are uniform on each block face, ranging from approximately 8' to 12'. Despite the variability in front yard depth, each block face features similar setbacks and reads as uniform. Buildings located on the eastern portion of Waller and Steiner streets, typically Edwardian-era flats, are built out to the sidewalk, with no or minimal front yard setbacks.

Historically, front yards were bounded with low cast stone site walls and planted with vegetation. Site walls on Carmelita Street – and possibly other blocks – were originally topped with decorative iron fencing. Despite the west to east downward slope, the yards located within the front setback are level rather than terraced or sloped. Several sections of site walls on Carmelita Street retain all or a portion of their original decorative iron fencing. Front yard setbacks and remnants of intact cast stone site walls are also located along Waller, Pierce, and Potomac Streets. The addition of garages has altered the front yards of many district properties. None of the historic buildings within the district were originally constructed with an integrated or detached automobile garage. On most blocks, portions of site walls were removed and front yards partially paved in order to accommodate driveways for garages inserted in the basement of many buildings. Several properties feature detached or semi-attached pop-out garages in the front yard. Garage structures, openings, and driveways are not considered significant in their own right. f) Interior Block Park Entrances. The development history of residential properties within the Duboce Park Historic District is closely intertwined with the history of the adjacent Duboce Park. Certain identified elements on the periphery of Duboce Park reflect this close association between residential and park development; notably, the lack of a physical separation between residential buildings and the park and rustic entrances from cul-de-sac streets into the park. These park entrances – located at the foot of Potomac Street, Pierce Street, and Carmelita Street – feature rustic stone steps flanked by low retaining walls built of Serpentine rock set in a random rubble pattern. For the purpose of Article 10 , the park entrances at Potomac Street, Pierce Street, and Carmelita Street are defined as the steps, rock walls, and a surrounding 10-foot buffer. The buffer area includes the sidewalks, street rights-of-way and area within the park directly adjacent to the steps and rock walls. (Added by Ord. 107-13 , File No. 130070, App. 6/13/2013, Eff. 7/13/2013) SEC. 7. DEFINITIONS. For the purpose of this Appendix N only, the following terms shall have the following meanings: Interior Block Park Entrance: The interior block park entrances at Potomac Street, Pierce Street, and Carmelita Streets are defined as the steps, Serpentine rock retaining walls, and a surrounding 10-foot buffer. The buffer area includes the sidewalks, street right-of-way and area within the park directly adjacent to the steps and rock retaining walls. Primary Façade: A primary façade is a building's main street-racing façade. Corner buildings have two primary façades; the second primary façade may front Duboce Park or the street. Rear Façade: The rear façade is located at the rear of the building. Public Right-of-Way: A public right-of-way is a street, sidewalk, interior block park entrance, or park. Visibility: A building, feature, or alteration is considered "visible" when it can be seen from a public right-of-way within the District and/or is visible from Duboce Park. Visibility from Duboce Park is limited to the highly visible façades of the first three buildings adjacent to the Park. Due to their distance from the Park, the rear façades of buildings adjacent to the western portion of Duboce Park (parallel to Scott Street) are excluded from this definition of visibility. See map.

RELATION TO PLANNING CODE AND THE PROVISIONS OF THE CHARTER OF THE CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO. (a) Article 10 of the Planning Code is the basic law governing historic preservation in the City and County of San Francisco. This ordinance, being a specific application of Article 10, is both subject to and in addition to the provisions thereof. (b) Except as may be specifically provided to the contrary in this ordinance, nothing in this ordinance shall supersede, impair or modify any Planning Code provisions applicable to property in the Clyde and Crooks Warehouse District, including but not limited to existing and future regulations controlling uses, height, bulk, lot coverage, floor area ratio, required open space, off-street parking and signs. (Added by Ord. 256-18, File No. 180723, App. 11/2/2018, Eff. 12/3/2018) SEC. 5. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE. The Clyde and Crooks Warehouse District is significant as it is representative of the post-1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire reconstruction period and is representative of warehouse/industrial building type and exemplifies early twentieth-century methods of construction and materials. The period of significance is 1906 to 1935. The district is comprised of nineteen properties, twelve of which include contributing resources, located in the South of Market neighborhood. The non-contributing properties consist of two buildings constructed after the period of significance and five surface parking lots. The Clyde and Crooks Warehouse District’s period of significance reflects the nineteenth-century development of the South of Market area as a center of industrial production in San Francisco and maritime commerce along the west coast. The district’s mix of industrial and warehouse buildings interspersed with residential structures is typical of the land use patterns developed in the nineteenth century in the South of Market neighborhood and continued during the 1906 earthquake and fire reconstruction period. The buildings exemplify early twentieth- century methods of construction and materials and reconstruction the return of South of Market’s function as the industrial center of the city following the earthquake and fire. The addition’s period of significance, 1906-1935, falls within the broader 1867-1935 period of significance of the South End Historic District. The industrial buildings found within the Clyde and Crooks Warehouse District are unique for their smaller size and massing, reflecting their use as small manufacturing operations and storage and packing facilities, but are consistent with the character and development pattern of the buildings constructed in the area during the post-earthquake period. The buildings reflect the redevelopment pattern of South of Market following the quake and fire, which largely consisted of industrial and warehouse buildings. (Added by Ord. 256-18, File No. 180723, App. 11/2/2018, Eff. 12/3/2018) SEC. 6. SIGNIFICANCE OF INDIVIDUAL BUILDINGS TO THE HISTORIC DISTRICT. Twelve buildings within the boundaries of the Clyde and Crooks Warehouse District are identified as contributory buildings that date from the Historic District’s period of significance and retain their historic integrity. These structures are of the highest importance in maintaining the character of the Historic District. An architectural description, building history and evaluation of each parcel within the Historic District is documented on the State of California – Department of Parks and Recreation Primary Record (DPR 523A – descriptive) survey forms.

The following section describes in further detail the character-defining features of the District and of individual buildings contained therein. Historic District designation is intended to protect and preserve these character-defining features. a.1 Overall Form, Continuity, Scale and Proportion. All buildings are built to the property lines and rise vertically without setbacks. Building heights are two to three stories, with the exception of the one-story building at 45 Lusk Street. Ten of the twelve contributing buildings have flat roofs. One building (435 Brannan) has a combination gable and flat roof. One building (322-326 Ritch Street) has a double-gable roof. The District’s buildings are rectangular plan and largely masonry structures with the exception of four wood frame buildings. (b) Fenestration. The majority of the buildings have aluminum and steel sash multi-lite windows. Wood frame windows are found on two properties (45 Lusk, 322-326 Ritch). Methods of operability include fixed, awning, double-hung, pivot and sliding. (c) Materials and Finishes. Six of the buildings are clad in smooth finish stucco. Two are clad in wood channel drop siding and one is clad with wood clapboard siding. Two buildings are red brick. One of the brick buildings has a concrete base that falls just below the water table. Materials and paint are generally light to medium colors with white, buff, and grey the predominate shades. (d) Architectural Details.

1. So in Ord. 256-18. SEC. 8. STANDARDS FOR REVIEW OF APPLICATIONS. The standards for review of all applications for Certificates of Appropriateness are as set forth in Section 1006.6 of Article 10. For the purposes of review under those standards, the “character of the Historic District” shall mean the exterior architectural features of the Clyde and Crooks Warehouse District referred to and described in Section 6 of this Appendix. Any exterior change within the Clyde and Crooks Warehouse District shall require a Certificate of Appropriateness, pursu

forth in Section 1006.6 of Article 10. For the purposes of review under those standards, the “character of the Historic District” shall mean the exterior architectural features of the Clyde and Crooks Warehouse District referred to and described in Section 6 of this Appendix. Any exterior change within the Clyde and Crooks Warehouse District shall require a Certificate of Appropriateness, pursuant to the provisions of Article 10, when such work requires a City permit, with the exception of specific scopes of work identified by the Historic Preservation Commission and delegated to Planning Department Preservation staff for review and approval and specific scopes of work as outlined below. The procedures, requirements, controls and standards of Article 10 of the Planning Code shall apply to all applications for Certificates of Appropriateness and/or Administrative Certificates of Appropriateness in the Clyde and Crooks Warehouse District. (Added by Ord. 256-18, File No. 180723, App. 11/2/2018, Eff. 12/3/2018) SEC. 9. ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS FOR ALTERATIONS AND NEW CONSTRUCTION. Additions to existing buildings and new infill construction proposed within the Clyde and Crooks Warehouse District must reflect an understanding of the relationship of the proposal with the contributing buildings within the district. Additions shall be reviewed for compatibility with the historic building and the District, while infill construction shall be reviewed for compatibility with the overall District. Neither should directly imitate nor replicate existing features. For additions, every effort should be made to minimize the visibility of the new structure within the District. Infill construction should reflect the character of the District, including the prevailing heights of contributing buildings without creating a false sense of history. Property owners should consult early in the process with a Planning Department Historic Preservation staff when developing a proposal. (a) Additions. Additions shall be reviewed on a case-by-case basis and any proposed addition should be located in an inconspicuous location and not result in a radical change to the form or character of the historic building. A vertical addition may be approved, depending on how the addition impacts the building and its relative visibility from the surrounding public rights-of-way within the district. The Planning Department evaluates all proposals for properties identified under Article 10 of the Planning Code for compliance with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards (as set forth in Section 1006.6 of the Planning Code). Based on these Standards, Department staff uses the following criteria when reviewing proposals for vertical additions: (1) The structure respects the general size, shape, and scale of the features associated with the property and the District and the structure is connected to the property in a manner that does not alter, change, obscure, damage, or destroy any of the character-defining features of the property and the District. (2) The design respects the general historic and architectural characteristics associated with the property and the District without replicating historic styles or elements that will result in creating a false sense of history.

(3) The materials are compatible with the property or District in general character, color and texture. As part of the Planning Department review process, the project sponsor shall conduct and submit an analysis that illustrates the relative visibility of a proposed vertical addition from within the District. As part of this analysis, sightline cross-sections and perspective drawings illustrating the proportionality and scale, as well as the visible extent of the addition from prescribed locations should be submitted. (b) New Construction. When a district provides an opportunity for new construction through existing vacant parcels or by replacing non-contributing buildings, a sensitive design is of critical importance. Historic buildings within the District should be utilized and referenced for design context. Contemporary design that respects the District’s existing character-defining features without replicating historic designs is encouraged. The Department uses the following criteria when reviewing proposals for infill construction as well as the review standards set forth in Section 1006.6 of the Planning Code: (1) The structure respects the general size, shape, and scale of the character-defining features associated with the district and its relationship to the character-defining features of the immediate neighbors and the district. (2) The site plan respects the general site characteristics associated with the district. (3) The design respects the general character-defining features associated with the district. (4) The materials are compatible with the district in general character, color, and texture. (c) Standards for New Construction and Alterations. (1) Facade Line Continuity. Facade line continuity is historically appropriate. Therefore, setbacks at lower floors and arcades, not generally being features of the Clyde and Crooks Warehouse District, are generally not acceptable. (2) Fenestration and Design Elements for New Construction. In areas with a concentration of buildings characterized by a high proportion of mass to void and deeply recessed openings, vertical orientation and limited fenestration, the design of new construction should relate to those elements. In areas characterized by buildings with industrial style fenestration, new construction should relate to those design elements. (d) Exterior Changes Requiring Approval. Any exterior change within the Clyde and Crooks Warehouse District shall require a Certificate of Appropriateness pursuant to the provisions of Article 10 when such work requires a city permit. In addition, a Certificate of Appropriateness shall be required for cleaning masonry surfaces with abrasives and/or treatment of such surfaces with waterproofing chemicals. Sandblasting and certain chemical treatments detrimental to older brick will not be approved. (e) Signs. (1) Principal Signs. Only one sign will be allowed per establishment per street frontage. A flush sign with lettering intended to be read from across the street is permitted. On brick surfaces, signs should be mounted with a minimum number of penetrations of the wall, and those penetrations only in the mortar joints. (2) Secondary Signs. One per establishment per street frontage. A secondary sign is intended to be viewed close-up and consists of: (A) lettering on a door or window that contains only the name and nature of the establishment, hours of operation and other pertinent information; or (B) a projecting sign not exceeding two square feet in area used in conjunction with a principal flush sign. (f) Nothing in this legislation shall be construed to regulate paint colors within the District.

RELATION TO PLANNING CODE AND THE PROVISIONS OF THE CHARTER OF THE CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO. (a) Article 10 of the Planning Code is the basic law governing historic preservation in the City and County of San Francisco. This ordinance, being a specific application of Article 10, is both subject to and in addition to the provisions thereof. (b) Except as may be specifically provided to the contrary in this ordinance, nothing in this ordinance shall supersede, impair or modify any Planning Code provisions applicable to property in the Chula-Abbey Early Residential District, including but not limited to existing and future regulations controlling uses, height, bulk, lot coverage, floor area ratio, required open space, off-street parking and signs. (Added by Ord. 14-26, File No. 251100, App. 2/13/2026, Eff. 3/16/2026) SEC. 5. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE. Identified through the Mission Dolores Neighborhood Context Statement & Survey, the Chula-Abbey Early Residential District is a one-block long stretch of properties, centered on Chula Lane, Abbey Street, and 17th Street, significant as a representative collection of Folk Victorian, Italianate, Classical Revival, and Queen Anne residential buildings associated with the themes of “Early Neighborhood Development (1864-1906)” and “1906 Earthquake and Reconstruction (1906-1915).” The period of significance is 1865 to 1912. The District is comprised of 52 properties, 37 of which include contributing resources, located in the Mission Dolores neighborhood. There are 15 non-contributing properties. The Chula-Abbey Early Residential District is significant as a representative collection of residential buildings that physically illustrate the neighborhood’s pre- and post-1906 Earthquake and Fires development transition. Because it was spared from the 1906 fires that decimated many nearby neighborhoods, the district provides a unique combination of early, small scale single-family homes along with post-1906 reconstruction-era’s larger scale multi-family flats and apartments. The majority of buildings within the Chula-Abbey Early Residential District were constructed before the 1906 Earthquake and Fires, with only a small portion dating from the reconstruction period. The District provides a rare example of the neighborhood’s small-scale residential and agricultural development patterns in the late nineteenth century. Centered around Chula Lane, an east-west midblock alley, and Abbey Street, a north-south midblock alley, the buildings in the district physically illustrate the neighborhood’s transition of development from early, small scale single-family homes to larger scale multi-family flats and apartments. The buildings related to the “Early Neighborhood Development (1864-1906)” theme are largely focused along Chula Lane and Abbey Street as a linear grouping of low-scale, freestanding buildings that evoke modest, working-class cottages in a less urban setting. Larger, freestanding, single-family dwellings were also built during this early period along the primary streets, including 3639 17th Street (1874) and 3656 17th Street (1885). Many of these larger residential buildings were converted into flats in the 1890s while surrounding properties were developed in a similar manner. These infill construction and reconstruction properties relate to “1906 Earthquake and Reconstruction (1906-1915)” theme. The Chula-Abbey Early Residential District is also architecturally significant as distinctive grouping of Victorian-era residential dwellings in Folk Victorian, Italianate, Stick-Eastlake, and Queen Anne styles. The Chula-Abbey Early Residential District is a representative collection of buildings where the overall scale and massing, wood construction, and rhythmic bays of the contributing buildings create a sense of continuity. The period of significance for the District is 1865 to 1912, inclusive of the period of construction of all contributory buildings within the District. Additional historic information, and descriptions of individual buildings, may be found in the Chula-Abbey Early Residential District Designation Report, which is hereby incorporated herein as though fully set forth. (Added by Ord. 14-26, File No. 251100, App. 2/13/2026, Eff. 3/16/2026) SEC. 6. CHARACTER-DEFINING FEATURES. Whenever a building, district, site, object, or landscape is under consideration for Article 10 Landmark designation, the Historic Preservation Commission is required to identify character-defining features. This is done to enable owners and the public to understand which elements are considered most important to preserve the historical and architectural character of the proposed landmark or landmark district. The character-defining interior features of buildings in the district are identified as: None. The character-defining exterior features of contributory buildings in the district are identified as: All exterior elevations, rooflines, historic doors and fenestration, historic materials and finishes, historic front setbacks, and historic architectural details, as described below. The following section describes in further detail the character-defining features of the district and of individual buildings. A. Overall Form, Scale and Proportion Due to the brief period of construction – most contributory buildings were constructed between 1865 and 1905 – buildings within the district exhibit characteristics of one of two basic

residential property types: single-family early residential or multi-family reconstruction residential (as defined in the Mission Dolores Context Statement). District buildings are almost all residential, composed primarily of detached, attached or semi-attached, single-family dwellings and residential flats or apartments. A couple of mixed-use buildings within the district (typically located on street corners) with residences on upper floors also include commercial use at the street level. Buildings in the district range from 1 ½ story-over-basement to four stories in height, with 1 ½ and three stories predominating. Roof forms are predominantly flat, front-facing gable, or front-facing gable behind a projecting parapet and/or cornice. Several buildings have hipped roofs. The district’s smallest residences are on lots facing the neighborhood’s alleys and narrow mid-block streets. These buildings are typically 1 ½- to two-stories in height, have raised, recessed entrances accessed by straight-run wood staircases with turned balustrades, often have deep front setbacks, and feature Folk Victorian, modest Italianate or Stick-Eastlake detailing on the primary, street-facing facades. Folk Victorian style buildings are often adorned with basic decorative elements such as spindle work porches. Some of these smaller buildings have been converted from single- to two-units. Buildings fronting wider streets – 17th and Dolores streets – have larger footprints, are taller, and consist of residential flats or apartments. These buildings are typically 2 ½- to four- stories in height, have recessed, raised entrances, straight run stairs, and feature Queen Anne, Classical Revival, Italianate, or Stick-Eastlake detailing on the primary, street-facing facades. Romeo Flats buildings at Dolores Street are built to the front lot line while residential flats buildings at 17th Street are often setback with front yards. Although the roof forms – particularly at the non-visible rear facade – of a substantial number of buildings have been altered to incorporate skylights, small dormer windows, fire escapes, stair penthouses, or solar panels these alterations were constructed outside of the Period of Significance and have not gained significance. General characteristics of the district’s two primary residential building types (Single-Family Early Residential and Multi-Family Reconstruction Residential) and one sub-type (Romeo Flats) are: Single-Family Early Residential: Properties dating from the “Early Neighborhood Development (1864-1906)” period are unified by their common forms, massing, and materiality representative of the early residential and agricultural development of the Mission Dolores neighborhood. Character-defining features of the properties within the district dating from this period include: • Small, one-story over- integrated garage or two-story massing • Horizontal painted wood siding • Front-facing gable roof, Italianate style flat-front parapet roof form, or projecting bracketed cornices • Wood double-hung windows with ogee lugs • Architectural ornament including brackets, applied columns, window and/or door hoods, and other façade ornamentation indicative of the various architectural styles • Front setback or location on lot in reference to street • Central or offset primary entrance and stair Multi-Family Reconstruction Residential: Properties dating from the “Earthquake and Reconstruction (1906-1915)” period are unified by their larger scale, form, and massing to meet housing needs of the growing population of the Mission Dolores neighborhood. Character-defining features of the residential flats or apartment buildings within the district dating from this period include: • Two or three-story over-integrated garage or three-story massing • Horizontal painted wood siding • Front-facing gable roof or projecting cornice • Wood double-hung windows with ogee lugs • Single or paired projecting bay(s) at front facade • Front setback/location on lot in reference to street • Offset entrance with recessed, straight-run original stair configuration Romeo Flats: The Romeo flat, a San Francisco-based, high-density form of rental housing with four to six units, generally for working-class tenants, was typically built after the 1906 earthquake and fires. Romeo flats are multi-unit, residential buildings with three bays lining the façade. An open or enclosed, central winding staircase located in the central bay divides the façade vertically. Balconies are located at each story of the central bay if it is open. When enclosed, windows are located at each landing. Several district buildings along Dolores Street are Romeo Flats. B. Materials and Finishes Buildings in the district are of wood frame construction and were historically clad in horizontal wood siding. Exterior surface finishes are painted. Channel drop wood siding is typical at the secondary and rear facades, while a combination of flush lap, channel drop, clapboard, or shaped shingles are typically found at the primary facades. Most buildings retain their historic siding though a few were later clad in stucco, masonite, or composite shingle siding. These replacement siding materials have not gained significance. Historically, there were several types of stairs constructed in the district: longer flights of wood stairs that typically project out from Italianate or Stick-Eastlake style buildings and shorter flights typically found within the recessed entries of Progressive-era flats and apartment buildings. Many of the Folk Victorian residences have wood porches with spindlework details at the ground level entrances. At the buildings along alleys and narrow streets, entry stairs are often solid and uniform in appearance featuring closed risers, solid cheek wa

k-Eastlake style buildings and shorter flights typically found within the recessed entries of Progressive-era flats and apartment buildings. Many of the Folk Victorian residences have wood porches with spindlework details at the ground level entrances. At the buildings along alleys and narrow streets, entry stairs are often solid and uniform in appearance featuring closed risers, solid cheek walls beneath the stairs, turned wood balustrades, and capped newel posts, and have a painted finish. Some flights of stairs were later replaced with new wood stairs and balusters. Raised entrances to these smaller residential buildings lead to narrow openings highlighted with wood trim and bracketed hoods. Wood paneled and glazed doors with transom window sit within a shallow paneled recess. Progressive-era buildings – Queen Anne or Classical Revival style – within the district, particularly those on 17th and Dolores streets, feature wood or terrazzo steps with solid cheek walls and landings. These stairs are typically located partially within the building envelope and provide access to recessed entrance doors. The recessed vestibules have wood paneled walls, coffered or stucco-clad ceilings, and floors clad in wood, terrazzo, or tile (usually hexagonal tiles with a polychromatic trim or mosaic tile). Entrances of Progressive-era flats are typically flanked by Classical columns or pilasters, and decorated with applied plaster ornament, such as garlands and floral friezes. While compatible, replacement stairs have not gained significance in their own right. Existing gable roofs are typically finished with asphalt or composite shingles. Though generally compatible, these roofing materials have not gained significance. C. Doors and Fenestration Many of the district’s buildings retain their original primary entrance doors. These paneled wood doors, often slightly wider than contemporary entrance doors, are commonly glazed at the upper portion and feature corniced and bracketed hoods and incised or applied ornament. Occasionally, a single fixed window is located adjacent to the entry door of Queen Anne buildings, and many entry doors are topped with transom windows. Fenestration is remarkably consistent throughout the district, consisting of vertically oriented double-hung single-light wood sash windows, with ogee lugs, set in wood surrounds. Windows are typically set in wide angled bays with smaller windows set flush with the facade, often adjacent to or above the primary entry. Window surrounds are typically topped with cornices, occasionally featuring pediments, with ornamented details. Smaller vertically oriented windows, set in a single or paired configuration, are typical on Italianate buildings. Some windows have segmental-arched upper sash. Several buildings, typically Progressive-era flats buildings, feature curved wood sash windows set in curved structural bays. Angled or curved bays typically contain three windows, though certain bays of corner buildings contain four or five windows. Most windows are rectangular although there are several buildings with arched windows. Large flats buildings, particularly Romeo flats, have continuous stacked angled bays flanking enclosed central stair with flush window at each landing. On visible side and rear elevations, windows are typically single or paired double-hung sash with simple wood surrounds. While many buildings within the district retain some or all historic double-hung wood sash windows with ogee lugs on primary, street-facing elevations, many others have replacement sash. Replacement windows made of aluminum or vinyl sash, casement or slider windows, or windows with divided lights that were added to buildings after the Period of Significance have not gained significance.

The addition of garages has altered the front facades and yards of many District properties. Many of the historic buildings within the district were not originally constructed with an integrated automobile garage. Many front yards have been fully or partially paved to accommodate driveways for garages inserted in the basement of many buildings. Garage structures, openings, and driveways have not gained significance. Several corner buildings have ground floor commercial spaces that are characterized by glazed entry doors set in recessed vestibules with large, fixed storefront windows on solid raised bulkheads. Transom windows span the storefronts. D. Architectural Details Common traits found throughout the district are bay windows, gable roofs, parapets, decorative cornices, ornamental shingles, and spindle work, as well as more classically influenced detailing such as dentils, pediments, columns, and applied plaster ornament. Late Victorian- and Progressive-era architectural styles predominate with Italianate, Stick-Eastlake, Queen Anne, and Classical Revival styles most widely represented. Architectural details commonly found on the district’s Italianate and Stick-Eastlake buildings – usually at the smaller dwellings on alleys and narrow streets – include cornice lintels, bracketed hoods, raised panel friezes and bracketed cornices, and false shaped parapets sometimes with pent roofs for Italianates (3639 17th Street features a canted bay window with colonette mullions and an elaborate cornice at each story) and bracketed cornice caps, elaborate bracketed door hoods (flat or pedimented) and trim, false parapets with paneled friezes, brackets, raised porches with spindlework frieze and turned wood supports, and projecting cornices on Stick-Eastlakes (3656 17th Street chamfered bay window features mullions with engaged colonettes and paneled aprons, while a cornice defines its first story windows; 3620-3624 17th Street features a box bay capped with a tall, false pedimented gable with sunburst inlay). Folk Victorian buildings were most often simple working-class residences, or modest vernacular buildings that were adorned with basic decorative elements such as spindle work porches or cornice-line brackets The district’s larger flats buildings, facing onto the wider, primary streets, are typically Classical Revival style, including all the district’s Romeo Flats buildings. Buildings in the district in this style feature wide angled or round bay windows, flat roofs, bulky projecting cornices with modillions or dentils, raised panel spandrels, scroll keystones, broken entablatures, and pedimented and columned porch or portico entries. Architectural details commonly found on Queen Anne buildings in the district include raked cornices, flared eaves, shingled tympanums, fish-scale shingling, projecting bracketed cornices, steeply pitched gable roofs, finials, geometric applied ornament at spandrel panels, dentils, friezes decorated with wood ornament, egg and dart molding, cut-out screens, sunbursts, intermediate cornices, window and door hoods, spindle screens, turned wood balustrades and newel posts, turned wood porch supports, a variety of wood cladding and patterned wood shingles, arched porticos, and Corinthian or Composite columns and pilasters.

1. So in Ord. 14-26. SEC. 9. ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS FOR ALTERATIONS, ADDITIONS AND NEW CONSTRUCTION. Excluding the exceptions defined in this Appendix.1 any exterior change to a contributory or non-contributory building or new construction within the Chula-Abbey Early Residential District shall require a Certificate of Appropriateness, pursuant to the provisions of Article 10, when such work requires a City permit. The following standards shall guide the approval of exterior alterations, additions, and new construction. (a) Character of the district. New construction shall complement and support the historic character of the district. Proposals for exterior alterations that result in greater conformity with the character of the district and are based on physical or documented evidence are encouraged. (b) Historic Materials. Exterior alterations or new construction shall not destroy historic materials.1 features and spatial relationships that characterize the property. Repair and retention of historic windows is encouraged. (c) Compatibility. New construction shall be differentiated from the old and shall be compatible with the historic materials, features, size, scale and proportion, and massing to protect the integrity of the property and its environment. Additions shall be reviewed for compatibility with the historic building and the District, while infill construction shall be reviewed for compatibility with the overall District. Neither should imitate nor replicate existing features. Additions should not physically or visually dominate existing buildings in the District. Infill construction should reflect the character of the District, including the prevailing heights of contributing buildings without creating a false sense of history. The following standards shall guide the approval of additions and new construction: Additions. Horizontal and vertical additions on contributing and non-contributing buildings, as well as addition of new features such as garages or window openings in visible elevations of contributing buildings, shall be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Proposed additions should be located in an inconspicuous location and not result in a radical change to the form or character of the historic building or surrounding District. Due to their diminutive scale and the setbacks of many of the contributory buildings along the narrow alleys and side streets in the District, vertical additions to the contributory buildings facing Chula Lane and Abbey Street are generally discouraged unless it is can be demonstrated that the addition does not impair the form or character-defining features of the building, and that it is not visible from the surrounding public rights-of-way within the District.

As part of the Planning Department review process, the project sponsor shall conduct and submit an analysis that illustrates the relative visibility of a proposed vertical addition from within the District. As part of this analysis, sightline cross-sections and perspective drawings illustrating the proportionality and scale, as well as the visible extent of the addition from prescribed locations should be submitted. The Planning Department will evaluate these proposals for compliance with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards (as set forth in Section 1006.6 of the Planning Code), and, may, at their discretion, refer to the Site Design/Architecture standards of the Preservation Design Standards (adopted by Historic Preservation Commission). New Construction. Where the District provides an opportunity for new construction through existing vacant parcels or by replacing non-contributing buildings, a sensitive design is of critical importance. The new construction shall respect the general size, shape, and scale of the character-defining features associated with the district and its relationship to the character- defining features of the immediate neighbors and the district. Contributory buildings within the District should be utilized and referenced for design context. For new construction, contemporary design that respects the District’s existing character-defining features without replicating historic designs is encouraged. The Planning Department will evaluate these proposals for compatibility with the character of the historic district as described in the designating ordinance, as set forth in Section 1006.6 of the Planning Code, and, when applicable, the Citywide Design Standards. The following standards shall guide the approval of exterior alterations and new construction: 1. Style. New construction shall be compatible with the character-defining features of the district, yet is contemporary in design. 2. Scale and Proportion. New construction shall be compatible with the massing, size, and scale of the adjacent contributing buildings within the district. 3. Setbacks. New construction shall conform to existing setback patterns found in adjacent buildings and within the district. 4. Roofline. Gabled, cross-gabled, or hipped roof forms or flat roofs with projecting cornices are common within the district and new construction shall reference the massing and form of adjacent buildings. 5. Dormers and Additions. The enlargement or construction of dormers, penthouses and horizontal or vertical additions shall be designed in a manner that requires minimal change to the character-defining features of the subject building and the district in terms of materials, fenestration, cladding, massing and ornamentation. 6. Garages. The insertion of a garage shall minimize the physical and visual impacts on the character-defining features of the existing building and front yard setting. The design of garages and garage doors shall be unobtrusive and simple. Painted roll-up doors with panels and minimal glazing are encouraged. 7. Driveways and Front Yard Setbacks. The addition of new driveways shall minimize the removal of landscaping and include permeable paving materials in order to minimize disruption to front yard setbacks and the character-defining features of the subject building and the district. 8. Details. Architectural details on new construction shall be contemporary, yet compatible with the character-defining features found on the contributing buildings within the district.

RELATION TO PLANNING CODE AND THE PROVISIONS OF THE CHARTER OF THE CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO. (a) Article 10 of the Planning Code is the basic law governing historic preservation in the City and County of San Francisco. This ordinance, being a specific application of Article 10, is both subject to and in addition to the provisions thereof. (b) Except as may be specifically provided to the contrary in this ordinance, nothing in this ordinance shall supersede, impair or modify any Planning Code provisions applicable to property in the Alert Alley Early Residential District, including but not limited to existing and future regulations controlling uses, height, bulk, lot coverage, floor area ratio, required open space, off-street parking and signs. (Added by Ord. 15-26, File No. 251101, App. 2/13/2026, Eff. 3/16/2026) SEC. 5. STATEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE. Identified through the Mission Dolores Neighborhood Context Statement & Survey, the Alert Alley Early Residential District is a one-block long stretch of properties, centered on Alert Alley and Landers Street, significant as a representative collection of Italianate, Classical Revival, and Queen Anne residential buildings associated with the themes of “Early Neighborhood Development (1864-1906)” and “1906 Earthquake and Reconstruction (1906-1915).” The period of significance is 1890 to 1910. The District is comprised of 21 properties, eighteen of which include contributing resources, located in the Mission Dolores neighborhood. There are three non-contributing properties. The Alert Alley Early Residential District is significant as a representative collection of residential buildings that physically illustrate the neighborhood’s pre- and post-1906 Earthquake and Fires development transition. Because it was spared from the 1906 fires that decimated many other nearby neighborhoods, the district provides a unique combination of early, small scale single-family homes along with post-1906 reconstruction era larger scale multi-family flats and apartments. The Alert Alley Early Residential District is a collection of buildings that represents the early small-scale residential and agricultural development patterns of the Mission Dolores neighborhood as well as larger residential flats and apartments indicative of the post-1906 reconstruction period. The district is also notable as it contains several buildings, including 260-264 and 266-268 Dolores Street, associated with the Dolores Street Fire Line, which served as a firebreak preserving properties west of Dolores from destruction in the devastating post-earthquake fires. The Alert Alley Early Residential District also is architecturally significant as a distinctive grouping of Victorian-era residential dwellings in Italianate, Stick-Eastlake, and Queen Anne styles. Along the narrow alleys, the pioneer origins of the buildings are indicated via setbacks, small building footprints, and low-slung massing, which stand out amongst the many larger rowhouses and flats that comprise much of the rest of the urbanized neighborhood. In the post-earthquake period, the Mission Dolores neighborhood transitioned from a semi-suburban, single-family dwelling area at the periphery of the city, to a dense neighborhood fully integrated into the larger urban context, characterized by an increase in multi-family development, particularly with the construction of apartment buildings and flats, including “Romeo Flats,” in Classical Revival and Queen Anne architectural styles. The period of significance for the District is 1890 to 1910, inclusive of the period of construction of all contributing buildings within the District. Additional historic information, and descriptions of individual buildings, may be found in the Alert Alley Early Residential District Designation Report, which is hereby incorporated herein as though fully set forth. (Added by Ord. 15-26, File No. 251101, App. 2/13/2026, Eff. 3/16/2026) SEC. 6. CHARACTER-DEFINING FEATURES. Whenever a building, district, site, object, or landscape is under consideration for Article 10 Landmark designation, the Historic Preservation Commission is required to identify character-defining features. This is done to enable owners and the public to understand which elements are considered most important to preserve the historical and architectural character of the proposed landmark or landmark district. The character-defining interior features of buildings in the district are identified as: None. The character-defining exterior features of contributory buildings in the district are identified as: All exterior elevations, rooflines, historic doors and fenestration, historic materials and finishes, historic front setbacks, and historic architectural details, as described below. The following section describes in further detail the character-defining features of the district and of individual buildings.

A. Overall Form, Scale and Proportion Due to the brief period of construction – most buildings were constructed between 1890 and 1910 – buildings within the district exhibit characteristics of one of two basic residential property types: single-family early residential or multi-family reconstruction residential (as defined in the Mission Dolores Neighborhood Context Statement). District buildings are all residential, composed primarily of attached or semi-attached, single-family dwellings and residential flats or apartments. Buildings in the district range from 1 ½ story-over-basement to four stories in height, with 1-½ and three stories predominating. Roof forms are predominantly flat or front-facing gable behind a projecting parapet and/or cornice. An exception is 1919-1923 15th Street which has a hipped roof. The district’s smallest residences are on lots facing the neighborhood’s alleys and narrow mid-block streets. These buildings are typically 1 ½- to two-stories in height, have raised, recessed entrances accessed by wood staircases with turned balustrades (most stairs have dogleg configurations, replacing original straight run), often have deep front setbacks, and feature modest Italianate or Stick-Eastlake detailing on the primary, street-facing facades. Some of these smaller buildings have been converted from single- to two-units. Buildings fronting wider streets – 15th, 16th, or Dolores streets – have larger footprints, are taller, and consist of residential flats or apartments. These buildings are typically 2 ½- to four- stories in height, have recessed, raised entrances, straight run stairs, and feature Queen Anne, Classical Revival, Italianate, or Stick-Eastlake detailing on the primary, street-facing facades. Romeo Flats buildings along 15th Street are built to the front lot line while residential flats buildings at 16th Street are setback with shallow front yards behind low cast stone walls topped with metal railings. On Dolores Street, residential flats buildings are setback with raised front yards bounded by cast stone retaining walls. Although the roof forms – particularly at the non-visible rear facade – of a substantial number of buildings have been altered to incorporate skylights, small dormer windows, fire escapes, stair penthouses, or solar panels these alterations were constructed outside of the Period of Significance and have not gained significance. General characteristics of the district’s two primary residential building types (Single-Family Early Residential and Multi-Family Reconstruction Residential) and one sub-type (Romeo Flats) are: Single-Family Early Residential: Properties dating from the "Early Neighborhood Development (1864-1906)" period are unified by their small-scale form, massing, and materiality representative of the early residential and agricultural development of the Mission Dolores neighborhood. Character-defining features of the properties within the district dating from this period include: • Small, one-story over- integrated garage or two-story massing • Horizontal painted wood siding • Flat front with front facing gable roof or Italianate style parapet roof form • Original wood double-hung windows with ogee lugs • Architectural ornament including brackets, applied columns, window and/or door hoods, and other façade ornamentation indicative of the Italianate style • Front setback or location on lot in reference to street • Central or offset primary entrance stair Multi-Family Reconstruction Residential: Properties dating from the “Earthquake and Reconstruction (1906-1915)” period are unified by their larger scale, form, and massing to meet housing needs of the growing population of the Mission Dolores neighborhood. Character-defining features of the residential flats or apartment buildings within the district dating from this period include: • Two or three-story over-integrated garage or three-story massing • Horizontal painted wood siding • Front-facing gable roof or projecting cornice • Wood double-hung windows with ogee lugs • Single or paired projecting bay(s) at front facade • Front setback/location on lot in reference to street • Offset entrance with original stair configuration Romeo Flats: The Romeo flat, a San Francisco-based, high-density form of rental housing with four to six units, generally for working-class tenants, was typically built after the 1906 earthquake and fires. Romeo flats are multi-unit, residential buildings with three bays lining the façade. An open or enclosed, central winding staircase located in the central bay divides the façade vertically. Balconies are located at each story of the central bay if it is open. When enclosed, windows are located at each landing. The district’s buildings along 16th Street include a row of Romeo Flats. B. Materials and Finishes Buildings in the district are of wood frame construction and were historically clad in horizontal wood siding. Exterior surface finishes are painted. Channel drop wood siding is typical at the secondary and rear facades, while a combination of flush lap, channel drop, clapboard, or shaped shingles are typically found at the primary facades. Most buildings retain their historic siding though a few were later clad in stucco, masonite, or composite shingle siding. These replacement siding materials have not gained significance. Historically, there were several types of stairs constructed in the district: longer flights of wood stairs that typically project out from Italianate or Stick-Eastlake style buildings and shorter flights typically found within the recessed entries of Progressive-era flats and apartment buildings. At the buildings along alleys and narrow streets, entry stairs were solid and uniform in appearance: featured closed risers, solid cheek wa

stairs constructed in the district: longer flights of wood stairs that typically project out from Italianate or Stick-Eastlake style buildings and shorter flights typically found within the recessed entries of Progressive-era flats and apartment buildings. At the buildings along alleys and narrow streets, entry stairs were solid and uniform in appearance: featured closed risers, solid cheek walls beneath the stairs, turned wood balustrades, and capped newel posts, and had a painted finish. Some flights of stairs were later replaced with new wood stairs and balusters. Raised entrances to these smaller residential buildings lead to narrow openings highlighted with wood trim and bracketed hoods. Wood paneled and glazed doors with transom window sit within a shallow paneled recess. Progressive-era buildings – Queen Anne or Classical Revival style – within the district, particularly those on 15th, 16th, and Dolores streets, feature wood or terrazzo steps with solid cheek walls and landings. These stairs are typically located partially within the building envelope and provide access to recessed entrance doors. The recessed vestibules have wood paneled walls, coffered or stucco-clad ceilings, and floors clad in wood, terrazzo, or tile (usually hexagonal tiles with a polychromatic trim or mosaic tile). Entrances of Progressive-era flats are typically flanked by Classical columns or pilasters, and decorated with applied plaster ornament, such as garlands and floral friezes. While compatible, replacement stairs have not gained significance in their own right. Existing gable roofs are typically finished with asphalt or composite shingles. Though generally compatible, these roofing materials have not gained significance. C. Doors and Fenestration Many of the district’s buildings retain their original primary entrance doors. These paneled wood doors, often slightly wider than contemporary entrance doors, are commonly glazed at the upper portion and feature corniced and bracketed hoods and incised or applied ornament. Occasionally, a single fixed window is located adjacent to the entry door of Queen Anne buildings, and many entry doors are topped with transom windows. Fenestration is remarkably consistent throughout the district, consisting of vertically oriented double-hung single-light wood sash windows, with ogee lugs, set in wood surrounds. Windows are typically set in wide angled bays with smaller windows set flush with the facade, often adjacent to or above the primary entry. Window surrounds are typically topped with cornices, occasionally featuring pediments, with ornamented details. Smaller vertically oriented windows, set in a single or paired configuration, are typical on Italianate buildings. Several buildings, typically Progressive-era flats buildings, feature curved wood sash windows set in curved structural bays. Angled or curved bays typically contain three windows, though certain bays of corner buildings contain four or five windows. Most windows are rectangular although there are several buildings with arched windows. The building at 1949 15th Street is the only building that retains an original two-over-two light double-hung wood sash window on primary elevation. Large flats buildings, particularly Romeo flats, have continuous stacked angled bays flanking enclosed central stair with flush window at each landing. On visible side and rear elevations, windows are typically single or paired double-hung sash with simple wood surrounds. While many buildings within the district retain some or all historic double-hung wood sash windows with ogee lugs on primary, street-facing elevations, many others have replacement sash. Replacement windows made of aluminum or vinyl sash, casement or slider windows, or windows with divided lights that were added to buildings after the Period of Significance have not gained significance.

The addition of garages has altered the front facades and yards of many District properties. Many of the historic buildings within the district were not originally constructed with an integrated automobile garage. Portions of site walls were removed and front yards partially paved to accommodate driveways for garages inserted in the basement of many buildings. Several properties feature detached or semi-attached pop-out garages in the front yard. Garage structures, openings, and driveways have not gained significance. D. Architectural Details Common traits found throughout the district are bay windows, gable roofs, parapets, decorative cornices, ornamental shingles, and spindle work, as well as more classically influenced detailing such as dentils, pediments, columns, and applied plaster ornament. Late Victorian- and Progressive-era architectural styles predominate with Italianate, Stick-Eastlake, Queen Anne, and Classical Revival styles most widely represented. Architectural details commonly found on the district’s Italianate and Stick-Eastlake buildings – usually at the smaller dwellings on alleys and narrow streets – include cornice lintels, bracketed hoods, raised panel friezes and bracketed cornices, and false shaped parapets sometimes with pent roofs for Italianates (1959 15th Street includes chamfered bay window decorated with pipe colonnettes and arched window heads) and bracketed cornice caps, bracketed door hoods (flat or pedimented), false parapets with paneled friezes, brackets, and projecting cornices on Stick-Eastlakes. The district’s larger flats buildings, facing onto the wider, primary streets, are typically Classical Revival style, including all the district’s Romeo Flats buildings. Buildings in the district in this style feature wide angled or round bay windows, flat roofs, bulky projecting cornices with modillions or dentils, raised panel spandrels, scroll keystones, broken entablatures, and pedimented and columned porch or portico entries. Architectural details commonly found on Queen Anne buildings in the district include raked cornices, flared eaves, shingled tympanums, fish-scale shingling, projecting bracketed cornices, steeply pitched gable roofs, finials, geometric applied ornament at spandrel panels, dentils, friezes decorated with wood ornament, egg and dart molding, cut-out screens, sunbursts, intermediate cornices, window and door hoods, spindle screens, turned wood balustrades and newel posts, turned wood porch supports, a variety of wood cladding and patterned wood shingles, arched porticos, and Corinthian or Composite columns and pilasters.

This work area must be stabilized and protected after the investigation is complete. Fences A Certificate of Appropriateness shall not be required for the construction or replacement of rear or side yard fences. Ground Disturbance Most properties within the Alert Alley Early Residential District are also located within the Planning Department’s Archaeological Sensitivity Zone 1 (areas that have high sensitivity for archaeological resources that are at or just beneath the current ground surface). No Certificate of Appropriateness shall be required for any project where ground disturbance is not: 2 feet or deeper (depth below existing street elevation), and more than 25 cubic yards. Where a project exceeds the ground disturbance criteria of Zone 1, no Certificate of Appropriateness shall be required where Planning Department cultural resources staff, after initial

review, determines that the proposed development project is unlikely to result in damage or destruction of significant archaeological resources. Non-Contributory Buildings No Certificate of Appropriateness shall be required for any exterior change on elevations not visible from the public rights-of-way for non-contributory properties. No Certificate of Appropriateness shall be required for any alteration or replacement of exterior building features on visible elevations of non-contributory properties, provided that reasonable efforts shall be made to produce compatibility with the District, and in no event shall there be a greater deviation from compatibility. The Planning Department will evaluate these proposals for compatibility with the character of the historic district as described in the designating ordinance, as set forth in Section 1006.6 of the Planning Code. Preservation Design Standards A Certificate of Appropriateness shall not be required for projects involving additions and modifications of district buildings that are also subject to the Housing Accountability Act (HAA), provided they comply with the adopted objective design standards outlined in the Preservation Design Standards. Ordinary Maintenance and Repairs No Certificate of Appropriateness shall be required if the proposed work consists of ordinary maintenance and repairs, as defined in Section 1005 (e)(3) of the Planning Code as any work, the sole purpose and effect of which is to correct deterioration, decay or damage of existing materials, including repair of damage caused by fire or other disaster. Replacement of Character-Defining Features A Certificate of Appropriateness shall not be required for the in-kind replacement of character-defining features that are deteriorated beyond repair, including historic architectural details such as porticos, porches, cornices, stringcourses, plaster work, tympanum, roofline, and eave, regardless of visibility from the public right-or-way.1 For this standard, “in kind” shall mean repair or replace exactly to match the historic feature’s material, dimensions, finish, profile, and details. Use of alternative material(s) does not qualify as “in-kind.” Roofing – Repair or Replacement No Certificate of Appropriateness shall be required for roof repair or replacement provided the proposed roof work does not change the roof character, form, structure, or character- defining features. New roofing shall be compatible with existing roofing. No Certificate of Appropriateness shall be required for repair and/or replacement of roofing materials other than visible surface materials, including but not limited to underlayment, structural members, chimneys, gutters, and scuppers, that does not alter the existing roof’s form or character-defining features. Rooftop Equipment (excluding cellular installations) A Certificate of Appropriateness shall not be required for the installation of rooftop equipment provided that the rooftop equipment is not visible from a public right-of-way and that the rooftop equipment is installed in a manner that may be easily removed in the future without disturbing any historic fabric. Security Measures A Certificate of Appropriateness shall not be required for installation or replacement of metal security doors, window grilles, or security gates on rear elevations regardless of visibility from the public right-of-way. Solar Panels A Certificate of Appropriateness shall not be required for the installation of solar panels, including the installation of structures that support solar panels, regardless of visibility, provided that the installation would not require alterations to the building greater than normally required to install a solar energy system, such as: (a) Set with a low profile, and (b) Mounted parallel with the slope of the roof (if roof is sloped greater than 1/12), and (c) Not visible from adjacent street sightlines if on a flat roof, and (d) Set in from the perimeter walls of the building, including the building’s primary façade. Windows Window Repair: Repair and retention of historic windows is encouraged. No Certificate of Appropriateness shall be required to correct deterioration, decay, or damage to existing historic windows, at any façade, including window glazing, sash, muntins, jambs, pulleys, sills and other historic window components. See “Ordinary Maintenance and Repairs.” Window Replacement – Windows visible from public right-of-way: No Certificate of Appropriateness shall be required for replacement of non-historic windows, provided that replacement windows are wood (original windows are assumed have been wood); are recessed between two and three inches from the surrounding exterior wall surfaces, measured from the primary exterior cladding to sash; have true divided lites or simulated divided lites with dark-colored spacers where sash feature muntins. Replacement windows are not required to be single-glazed even if the original windows are single-glazed. Vinyl windows are not permitted as a replacement for any window. Window Replacement – Windows not visible from public rights-of-way: No Certificate of Appropriateness shall be required for window replacement on façades not-visible from the public right-of-way, provided the replacement windows occur within the existing opening.

1. So in Ord.15-26. SEC. 9. ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS FOR ALTERATIONS, ADDITIONS AND NEW CONSTRUCTION. Excluding the exceptions defined in this Appendix.1 any exterior change to a contributory or non-contributory building or new construction within the Alert Alley Early Residential District shall require a Certificate of Appropriateness, pursuant to the provisions of Article 10, when such work requires a City permit. The following standards shall guide the approval of exterior alterations, additions, and new construction. (a) Character of the district. New construction shall complement and support the historic character of the district. Proposals for exterior alterations that result in greater conformity with the character of the district and are based on physical or documented evidence are encouraged. (b) Historic Materials. Exterior alterations or new construction shall not destroy historic materials.1 features and spatial relationships that characterize the property. Repair and retention of historic windows is encouraged. (c) Compatibility. New construction shall be differentiated from the old and shall be compatible with the historic materials, features, size, scale and proportion, and massing to protect the integrity of the property and its environment. Additions shall be reviewed for compatibility with the historic building and the District, while infill construction shall be reviewed for compatibility with the overall District. Neither should imitate nor replicate existing features. Additions should not physically or visually dominate existing buildings in the District. Infill construction should reflect the character of the District, including the prevailing heights of contributing buildings without creating a false sense of history. The following standards shall guide the approval of additions and new construction: Additions. Horizontal and vertical additions on contributing and non-contributing buildings, as well as addition of new features such as garages or window openings in visible elevations of contributing buildings, shall be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. Proposed additions should be located in an inconspicuous location and not result in a radical change to the form or character of the historic building or surrounding District. Due to their diminutive scale and the setbacks of many of the contributory buildings along the narrow alleys and side streets in the District, vertical additions to the contributory buildings facing Alert Alley and Landers Street are generally discouraged unless it is can be demonstrated that the addition does not impair the form or character-defining features of the building and that it is not visible from the surrounding public rights-of-way within the District. As part of the Planning Department review process, the project sponsor shall conduct and submit an analysis that illustrates the relative visibility of a proposed vertical addition from

within the District. As part of this analysis, sightline cross-sections and perspective drawings illustrating the proportionality and scale, as well as the visible extent of the addition from prescribed locations should be submitted. The Planning Department will evaluate these proposals for compliance with the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards (as set forth in Section 1006.6 of the Planning Code), and, may,

at their discretion, refer to the Site Design/Architecture standards of the Preservation Design Standards (adopted by Historic Preservation Commission). New Construction. Where the District provides an opportunity for new construction through existing vacant parcels or by replacing non-contributing buildings, a sensitive design is of critical importance. The new construction shall respect the general size, shape, and scale of the character-defining features associated with the district and its relationship to the character- defining features of the immediate neighbors and the district. Contributory buildings within the District should be utilized and referenced for design context. For new construction, contemporary design that respects the District’s existing character-defining features without replicating historic designs is encouraged. The Planning Department will evaluate these proposals for compatibility with the character of the historic district as described in the designating ordinance, as set forth in Section 1006.6 of the Planning Code, and, when applicable, the Citywide Design Standards. The following standards shall guide the approval of exterior alterations and new construction: 1. Style. New construction shall be compatible with the character-defining features of the district, yet is contemporary in design. 2. Scale and Proportion. New construction shall be compatible with the massing, size, and scale of the adjacent contributing buildings within the district. 3. Setbacks. New construction shall conform to existing setback patterns found in adjacent buildings and within the district. 4. Roofline. Gabled, cross-gabled, or hipped roof forms or flat roofs with projecting cornices are common within the district and new construction shall reference the massing and form of adjacent buildings. 5. Dormers and Additions. The enlargement or construction of dormers, penthouses and horizontal or vertical additions shall be designed in a manner that requires minimal change to the character-defining features of the subject building and the district in terms of materials, fenestration, cladding, massing and ornamentation. 6. Garages. The insertion of a garage shall minimize the physical and visual impacts on the character-defining features of the existing building and front yard setting. The design of garages and garage doors shall be unobtrusive and simple. Painted roll-up doors with panels and multi-lights are in keeping with the character of the district and are encouraged. 7. Driveways and Front Yard Setbacks. The addition of new driveways shall minimize the removal of landscaping and include permeable paving materials in order to minimize disruption to front yard setbacks and the character-defining features of the subject building and the district. 8. Details. Architectural details on new construction shall be contemporary, yet compatible with the character-defining features found on the contributing buildings within the district.

SEC. 1101. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES. (a) It is hereby found that a substantial number of the buildings in the C-3 District have a special architectural, historical, and aesthetic value. These buildings contribute substantially to San Francisco's reputation throughout the United States as a City of outstanding beauty and physical harmony. A substantial number of these special buildings have been and continue to be unnecessarily destroyed or impaired, despite the feasibility of preserving and continuing their use, and without adequate consideration for the irreplaceable loss to the people of the City of their aesthetic, cultural, historic and economic value. (b) It is further found that distinct and definable subareas within the C-3 District possess concentrations of buildings that together create a unique historic, architectural, and aesthetic character which contributes to the beauty and attractiveness of the City. The quality of these geographic areas has been and continues to be degraded by the unnecessary demolition of buildings of substantial architectural and aesthetic merit, by their replacement with buildings which conflict with the character and scale of the area, and by alteration of buildings in a manner which conflicts with the character and scale of the area. (c) It is therefore declared that the protection, enhancement, and perpetuation of buildings and definable subareas of special architectural, historical, and aesthetic interest is necessary to promote the health, safety, prosperity and welfare of the people of the City. Accordingly, the purposes of this Article are: (1) The protection, enhancement, and perpetuation of structures and subareas of special architectural, historical, and aesthetic character which contribute to the urban environment; (2) The maintenance and improvement of a healthy economy for the City by enhancing both property values and the City's attractiveness as a place to do business; (3) The protection and improvement of the City's attractiveness to tourists and other visitors, and the stimulus to business provided thereby; (4) The enrichment of the educational, cultural, aesthetic and spiritual life of the inhabitants of the City by fostering knowledge of the heritage of the City's past and retaining the quality of the City's urban environment. (d) It is further found that the use of Transferable Development Rights ("TDR") as provided herein is necessary to promote the urban planning and design goals of the General Plan by: (1) maintaining appropriate overall development capacities in each zoning district within the C-3 area, as defined by applicable floor area, height, bulk and other parameters; (2) encouraging and directing development into the Special Development District in order to maintain a compact downtown financial district; and (3) facilitating the retention of Significant Buildings and Contributory Buildings, and the compatible replacement or alteration of Unrated buildings in Conservation Districts, as defined in this Article.

STANDARDS FOR DESIGNATION OF BUILDINGS. The buildings in the C-3 Districts are divided into five categories according to the Building Rating methodology as set forth and explained in the Preservation of the Past section of the Downtown Plan, a component of the General Plan. Those categories are as follows: (a) Significant Buildings - Category I. Buildings that:
(1) Are at least 40 years old; and (2) Are judged to be Buildings of Individual Importance; and (3) Are rated Excellent in Architectural Design or are rated Very Good in both Architectural Design and Relationship to the Environment. (b) Significant Buildings - Category II. Buildings:
(1) That meet the standards in Section 1102(a) above; and (2) To which, because of their depth and relationship to other structures, it is feasible to add different and higher replacement structures or additions to height at the rear of the structure, even if visible when viewing the principal facades, without affecting their architectural quality or relationship to the environment and without affecting the appearance of the retained portions as separate structures when viewing the principal facades. The designation of Category II Buildings shall identify for each building the portion of the building beyond which such additions may be permitted. (c) Contributory Buildings - Category III. Buildings that:
(1) Are located outside a designated Conservation District; and (2) Are at least 40 years old; and (3) Are judged to be Buildings of Individual Importance; and (4) Are rated either Very Good in Architectural Design or Excellent or Very Good in Relationship to the Environment. (d) Contributory Buildings - Category IV. Buildings that:
(1) Are located in a designated Conservation District; and (2) Are at least 40 years old; and (3) Are judged to be Buildings of Individual Importance, and are rated either Very Good in Architectural Design or Excellent or Very Good in Relationship to the Environment. (4) Are judged to be Buildings of Contextual Importance and are rated Very Good in Architectural Design and/or Excellent or Very Good in Relationship to the Environment. (e) Unrated Buildings - Category V. Buildings that are not designated as Significant or Contributory.

PROCEDURES FOR CHANGE OF DESIGNATION AND DESIGNATION OF ADDITIONAL SIGNIFICANT AND CONTRIBUTORY BUILDINGS. Buildings may be designated as Significant or Contributory or their designation may be changed through amendment of Appendices A, B, C and D of this Article. Such designation or change of designation shall be governed by the following provisions in lieu of the provisions of Section 302: (a) Initiation. The designation or change of designation of a Significant or Contributory building may be initiated by motion of the Board of Supervisors, by resolution of the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC), by the verified application of the owner or authorized agent of the affected property, by the application of any organization or group that has historic preservation stated as one of its goals in its bylaws or articles of incorporation, or by the application of at least 50 registered voters of the City. Except in the case of initiation by governmental bodies, any such application shall contain historic, architectural, and/or cultural documentation to support the initiation or change of designation as well as any additional information that may be required by the application procedures and policies established by the HPC. If initiated by motion of the Board of Supervisors, the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors shall refer the matter to the HPC for its review and recommendation prior to passage by the Board of Supervisors, without referral to the Planning Commission. (b) Notice; Referral to the HPC; Review by the Planning Department. Upon determination by the Department that a verified application is complete and contains all necessary information or upon receipt of the motion or resolution of one of the governmental bodies set forth in Subsection (a) above, the Department shall: (1) promptly schedule a hearing before the HPC on the proposed designation or change of designation; and (2) send notice of the hearing by mail no less than 20 days prior to the date of the hearing to the owner(s) of the affected property; the applicant(s), if any, for the designation or change in designation; to the owners of all properties within 150 feet of the affected property; and to any interested parties who so request in writing to the Department. (c) Action by the Historic Preservation Commission. The proposed designation or change of designation shall be placed on the agenda of the HPC for public hearing. The HPC shall determine the appropriate designation or change in designation of the building. If the HPC approves or modifies the proposed designation or change of designation in whole or in part, it shall transmit its recommendation, together with a copy of the resolution, to the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors without referral to the Planning Commission. (d) Designation by Board of Supervisors. The Board of Supervisors, or a committee thereof, shall hold a public hearing on any proposal so transmitted to it. The Board of Supervisors may approve, modify and approve, or disapprove the designation or change of designation by a majority vote of all its members.
(e) Appeal to Board of Supervisors. If the HPC disapproves the proposed designation or change of designation, such action shall be final except upon the filing of a notice of appeal to the Board of Supervisors within 30 days by the applicant or any of the persons, organizations or groups listed in Section 1106(a); provided, however, that if the proposal was initiated by the Board of Supervisors, the Clerk of the Board shall be notified immediately of the disapproval without the necessity for an appeal.
(f) Hearing and Decision by the Board of Supervisors. The Board of Supervisors, or a committee thereof, shall hold a public hearing on any such proposal appealed to it or initiated by it. The Board of Supervisors may uphold the HPC, overrule the HPC and approve, or modify and approve, the designation or change of designation by a majority vote of all its members.
(g) Notice of Board of Supervisors Proceedings. Notice of the hearing scheduled before the Board of Supervisors, and of the availability of applicable reports, shall be given by mail no less than 20 days prior to the date of the hearing to the initiators of the designation or change of designation, to the owner(s) of any affected building, to any appellants, and to any other interested person or organization who so requests in writing to the Department.
(h) Grounds for Designation or Change of Designation. The designation of a building may be changed if (1) changes in the area in the vicinity of a building located outside a Conservation District warrant a change in the rating of the building with respect to its relationship to the environment and therefore place it in a different category, pursuant to Section 1102; or (2) changes in Conservation District boundaries make a building of Contextual Importance fall outside a Conservation District and therefore no longer eligible for designation as a Contributory building, or, conversely, make a building of Contextual Importance fall within a Conservation District and therefore eligible for designation as a Contributory Building; or (3) changes in the physical features of the building due to circumstances beyond the control of the owner, or otherwise permitted by this Article, warrant placing the building in a different category pursuant to the standards set forth in Section 1102; or (4) restoration of the building to its original quality and character warrants placing the building

a Contributory Building; or (3) changes in the physical features of the building due to circumstances beyond the control of the owner, or otherwise permitted by this Article, warrant placing the building in a different category pursuant to the standards set forth in Section 1102; or (4) restoration of the building to its original quality and character warrants placing the building in a different category pursuant to the standards set forth in Section 1102; or (5) by the passage of time, the building has become at least 40 years old, making it eligible to be considered for designation as a Significant or Contributory building, pursuant to Section 1102; or (6) the discovery of new factual information (for example, information about the history of the building) makes the building eligible for rating as a Building of Individual or Contextual Importance and, therefore, eligible to be designated as a Significant or Contributory Building.

SEC. 1107. PROCEDURES FOR DESIGNATION OF ADDITIONAL CONSERVATION DISTRICTS OR BOUNDARY CHANGE OF CONSERVATION DISTRICTS. A Conservation District may be designated or its boundary changed through amendment of Section 1103.1 of this Article 11. The HPC may recommend approval, disapproval, or modification of Conservation District designations or boundary changes to the Board of Supervisors. Such designation or boundary change shall be governed by the following provisions in lieu of the provisions of Section 302. (a) Initiation of Designation or Boundary Change. The designation of an area of the C-3 District as a Conservation District or the change of District boundaries may be initiated by motion of the Board of Supervisors, by resolution of the HPC, upon the verified application of the owners or other authorized agents of greater than 25 percent of the structures in the area proposed for designation (or, as to an alteration, 25 percent of the structures of the proposed new district unless it would be an area smaller than the existing district, in which case it shall be 25 percent of the structures of the existing district), upon the verified application of any organization or group that has historic preservation stated as one of its goals in its bylaws or articles of incorporation, or upon the verified application of at least 150 registered voters of the City. Except in case of an initiation by governmental bodies, any such application shall contain historic, architectural, and/or cultural documentation to support the designation or boundary change as well as any additional information that may be required by the application procedures and policies established by the HPC.
(b) Notice; Referral to the Historic Preservation Commission; Review by the Planning Department. If a proposed Conservation District designation or boundary change is initiated by the Board of Supervisors, the Clerk of the Board shall refer the matter to the HPC for its review and recommendation. Upon determination by the Planning Department that a verified application is complete and contains all necessary information or upon receipt of a motion or resolution by the Board of Supervisors or the HPC initiating designation or a change in designation, the Department shall (1) promptly schedule a hearing before the HPC on the proposed district or boundary change; and

(2) send notice of the HPC hearing by mail no less than 20 days prior to the date of the hearing to the initiators of the designation or boundary change, to the owners of all lots within the proposed new district or the district being modified, and to any interested parties who make a request in writing to the Department. (c) Action by the HPC. The proposed designation or boundary change shall be placed on the agenda of the HPC for public hearing. If the HPC approves or modifies the proposed designation or boundary change in whole or in part, the Department shall transmit the HPC's recommendation together with a copy of the HPC's resolution and with any comments of the Planning Commission, as set forth in subsection (d) below, to the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors. (d) Review by the Planning Commission. Following action by the HPC, the Department shall promptly refer the HPC's recommendation on the proposed Conservation District designation or boundary change to the Planning Commission, which shall have 45 days to review and comment on the proposed designation or boundary change. The Planning Commission's comments, if any, shall be forwarded to the Board of Supervisors together with the HPC's recommendation. Notice of the Planning Commission hearing shall be given as provided in Section 1107(b) of this Article. The Planning Commission's comments shall be transmitted to the Board of Supervisors as a resolution and shall (1) address the consistency of the proposed boundary change with the policies embodied in the General Plan and the priority policies of Section 101.1, particularly the provision of housing to meet the City's Regional Housing Needs Allocation, and the provision of housing near transit corridors; (2) identify any amendments to the General Plan necessary to facilitate adoption of the proposed boundary change; and (3) evaluate whether the proposed boundary change would conflict with the Sustainable Communities Strategy for the Bay Area. (e) Designation by Board of Supervisors. The Board of Supervisors, or a committee thereof, shall hold a public hearing on any proposal so transmitted to it. The Board of Supervisors may approve, modify and approve, or disapprove the designation or boundary change by a majority vote of all its members. Prior to the Board of Supervisors' vote on a proposed boundary change, the Planning Department shall conduct thorough outreach to affected property owners and occupants. The Planning Department shall invite all property owners and occupants in the area covered by the proposed boundary change to express their opinion on the proposed boundary change. Such invitation shall advise owners of the practical consequences of the adoption of the proposed boundary change, including the availability of preservation incentives, the types of work requiring a Permit to Alter, the process and fees for obtaining a Permit to Alter, and the types of work that is generally ineligible to receive a Permit to Alter. (f) Appeal to Board of Supervisors. If the HPC disapproves the proposed designation or boundary change, such action shall be final except upon the filing of a notice of appeal to the Board of Supervisors within 30 days by the applicant or any of the persons, organizations, or groups listed in Section 1107(a); provided, however, that if the proposal was initiated by the Board of Supervisors, the Clerk of the Board shall be notified immediately of the disapproval without the necessity for an appeal.
(g) Hearing and Decision by the Board of Supervisors. The Board of Supervisors, or a committee thereof, shall hold a public hearing on any such proposal appealed to it or initiated by it. The Board of Supervisors may uphold the HPC, overrule the HPC and approve, or modify and approve, the designation or boundary change by a majority vote of all its members.
(h) Notice of Board of Supervisors Proceedings. Notice of the hearing scheduled pursuant to this Section shall be given by mail no less than 20 days prior to the date of the hearing to: the applicants for the designation or alteration, if any; the owners of all lots within the proposed new district or the district being altered; appellants, if any; and to interested individuals or organizations who request such notice in writing to the Planning Department. (i) Standards Applicable to Designation or Boundary Change. The standards governing the designation and change of District boundaries are those set forth in Section 1103. Areas may be removed from Conservation Districts if the character of the area has changed such that the area no longer qualifies under the standards set forth in Section 1103.

PRESERVATION LOTS: ELIGIBILITY FOR TRANSFER OF DEVELOPMENT RIGHTS. Lots on which are located Significant or Contributory Buildings or Category V Buildings in those certain Conservation Districts and portions thereof as indicated in Section 8 of the Appendix relating to that District are eligible preservation lots as provided in Section 128 of this Code for the purposes of Transferable Development Rights ("TDR"), as provided in this Section: (a) Significant Buildings. Lots on which are located buildings designated as Significant Buildings - Category I or Category II - are eligible to transfer the difference between the allowable gross floor area permitted on the lot by Section 124 of this Code and the gross floor area of the development on the lot, if all the requirements for transfer set forth in Section 128 are met. Lots on which are located Significant Buildings which have been altered in conformance with the provisions of this Article retain eligibility for the transfer of TDR.
(b) Contributory Buildings. Lots on which are located buildings designated as Contributory Buildings - Category III or Category IV - are eligible to transfer the difference between the allowable gross floor area permitted on the lot by Section 124 of this Code and the gross floor area of the development on the lot, if all the requirements for transfer set forth in Section 128 are met. Alteration or demolition of such a building in violation of Section 1110, or alterations or demolitions made without a permit issued pursuant to Sections 1111 through 1111.7, eliminates eligibility for the transfer of TDR; provided, however, that such eligibility may nonetheless be retained or acquired again if, pursuant to Section 1116(b), the property owner demonstrates as to any alteration that it was a Minor Alteration as defined in this Article and has applied for a Permit for Minor Alteration pursuant to Section 1111.1; or that the property owner has obtained a Permit to Alter to restore the original distinguishing qualities and character-defining features that were altered. Once any TDR have been transferred from a Contributory Building, the building is subject to the same restrictions on demolition and alteration as a Significant Building. These restrictions may not be removed by the transfer of TDR back to the building.
(c) Category V Buildings in Conservation Districts. Where explicitly permitted in Section 8 of the Appendix establishing a Conservation District, lots located in such a District on which are located Category V Buildings (designated as neither Significant nor Contributory) are eligible to transfer the difference between the allowable gross floor area permitted on the lot under Section 124 of the Code and the gross floor area of the development on the lot, if all the requirements for transfer set forth in Section 128 are met; provided, however, that a lot is eligible as a Preservation Lot pursuant to this Section only if: (1) the exterior of the building is substantially altered so as to make it compatible with the scale and character of the Significant and Contributory Buildings in the district, including those features described in Sections 6 and 7 of the Appendix to Article 11 describing the relevant district, and has thus been determined by the HPC to be a Compatible Rehabilitation, and the building meets or has been reinforced to meet the standards for seismic loads and forces of the Building Code ; or (2) the building on the lot is new, having replaced a Category V Building, and has received approval by the HPC as a Compatible Replacement Building, pursuant to Section 1113. (Added by Ord. 414-85, App. 9/17/85; amended by Ord. 95-12, File No. 120301, App. 5/21/2012, Eff. 6/20/2012) AMENDMENT HISTORY Undesignated introductory paragraph and divisions (b) and (c) amended; Ord. 95-12, Eff. 6/20/2012.

SEC. 1110. CONSTRUCTION, ALTERATION OR DEMOLITION OF SIGNIFICANT OR CONTRIBUTORY BUILDINGS OR BUILDINGS IN CONSERVATION DISTRICTS. (a) No person shall carry out or cause to be carried out any construction, alteration, removal or demolition of a structure or any work involving a sign, awning, marquee, canopy, mural, or other appendage, or any new or replacement construction for which a permit is required pursuant to the Building Code, on any designated Significant or Contributory Building or any building in a Conservation District unless a permit for such work has been approved pursuant to the provisions of this Article 11. Notwithstanding the foregoing, when the application is for a permit to maintain, repair, rehabilitate, or improve streets and sidewalks, including sidewalk widening, accessibility, and bulb-outs, the Planning Department shall process the permit without further reference to this Article 11, unless such streets and sidewalks have been explicitly called out in a conservation district's designating ordinance as character-defining features of the district. (b) The HPC shall approve, disapprove, or modify all applications for permits to alter or demolish any Significant or Contributory Buildings or buildings within Conservation Districts, and permits for any new and replacement construction within Conservation Districts, subject to appeal as provided in Section 1115 of this Article 11. The HPC shall review and act on such permits prior to any other Planning approval action(s). Buildings or areas within the C-3 District designated pursuant to the provisions of both Article 10 and Article 11 shall be regulated pursuant to the procedures of both Articles. In case of conflict, the more restrictive provisions shall apply. (c) If the proposed work would constitute a demolition as defined in Section 1005(f) of this Code, such work shall, in addition to any other requirements, be subject to the provisions of this Article 11 governing demolitions and shall require a "Permit to Demolish." All other proposed construction or alteration of a structure, including any new or replacement construction, or any work involving a sign, awning, marquee, canopy, mural, or other appendage work, but excepting ordinary maintenance and repairs, shall require a "Permit to Alter." (d) No person shall demolish or cause to be demolished a Significant or Contributory Building or any building in a Conservation District without obtaining a Permit to Demolish and, if located within a Conservation District, a permit for a Compatible Replacement Building. (e) If at any time following the approval of a Permit to Alter, changes are proposed to the scope of work such that the proposed new scope of work, if approved, would constitute a demolition as defined herein, the owner shall file a new application for a Permit to Demolish and shall obtain such approval prior to proceeding with the proposed new scope of work. (f) A building permit application or amendment for any work that exceeds the scope of work of an approved Permit to Alter or Permit to Demolish shall be referred to the Planning Department by the Central Permit Bureau for HPC review and approval pursuant to this Article 11 before the permit may be approved or issued. (g) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the following cases the Department may process the permit application without further reference to this Article 11: (1) When the application is for a permit for ordinary maintenance and repairs only. For the purpose of this Article 11, "ordinary maintenance and repairs" shall mean any work, the sole purpose and effect of which is to correct deterioration, decay, or damage of existing materials, including repair of damage caused by fire or other disaster. (2) When the application is for a permit to construct any new or replacement structures on a site where a Significant or Contributory Building has been lawfully demolished pursuant to this Code and the site is not within a designated Conservation District; or (3) When the application is for a permit to make interior alterations only and does not constitute a demolition as defined in this Article, unless the Planning Department has determined that the proposed interior alterations may result in any visual or material impact to the exterior of the building or when the designating ordinance or applicable Appendix in this Article requires review of such interior alterations; (4) When the application is for a permit to construct an Accessory Dwelling Unit or Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit, provided that the Accessory Dwelling Unit or Junior Accessory Dwelling Unit conforms to the requirements of Section 207.2 of this Code.;1 (5) When the application is for a permit to install business signs or awnings as defined in Section 602 of this Code to a Significant or Contributory building or any building within a Conservation District, provided that signage, awnings, and transparency conform to the requirements set forth in Section 1111.6; or (6) When the application is for a permit to install low-profile skylights that are not visible from a public right-of-way or public park, provided that the improvements conform to the requirements set forth in Section 1111.6.

(b) For applications for a Permit to Demolish, the applicant has the burden of establishing that the criteria governing the approval of applications set forth in Section 1111.7 have been met. (c) The decisions of the HPC shall be final except upon modification by the Planning Commission as provided in Section 1114 or upon the filing of a timely appeal to the Board of Appeals or Board of Supervisors as provided in Section 1115. (Added by Ord. 414-85, App. 9/17/85; amended by Ord. 95-12, File No. 120301, App. 5/21/2012, Eff. 6/20/2012) AMENDMENT HISTORY Section header amended; previously undesignated paragraph designated as division (a) and amended; divisions (b) and (c) added; Ord. 95-12, Eff. 6/20/2012.

The HPC, the Board of Appeals, the Board of Supervisors, the Planning Commission, and the Department shall be governed by the following standards in the review of applications for Permits to Alter. In the case of conflict with other requirements, including the requirements of Article 10, the more restrictive standards shall apply. (a) The proposed alteration shall be consistent with and appropriate for the effectuation of the purposes of this Article 11. (b) The proposed work shall comply with the Secretary of the Interior's Standards for the Treatment of Historic Properties for significant and contributory buildings, as well as any applicable guidelines, local interpretations, bulletins, or other policies. Development of local interpretations and guidelines based on the Secretary of the Interior's Standards shall be led by the Planning Department through a public participation process; such local interpretations and guidelines shall be found in conformance with the General Plan and Planning Code by the Planning Commission and shall be adopted by both the HPC and the Planning Commission. If either body fails to act on any such local interpretation or guideline within 180 days of either body's initial hearing where the matter was considered for approval, such failure to act shall constitute approval by that body. In the case of any apparent inconsistency among the requirements of this Section, compliance with the requirements of the designating ordinance shall prevail. (c) For Significant Buildings - Categories I and II, and for Contributory Buildings - Categories III and IV, proposed alterations of structural elements and exterior features shall be consistent with the architectural character of the building, and shall comply with the following specific requirements: (1) The distinguishing original qualities or character of the building may not be damaged or destroyed. Any distinctive architectural feature which affects the overall appearance of the building shall not be removed or altered unless it is the only feasible means to protect the public safety. (2) The integrity of distinctive stylistic features or examples of skilled craftsmanship that characterize a building shall be preserved. (3) Distinctive architectural features which are to be retained pursuant to Paragraph (1) but which are deteriorated shall be repaired rather than replaced, whenever possible. In the event replacement is necessary, the new material shall match the material being replaced in composition, design, color, texture and other visual qualities. Repair or replacement of missing architectural features shall be based on accurate duplication of features, substantiated by historic, physical or pictorial evidence, if available, rather than on conjectural designs or the availability of different architectural elements from other buildings or structures. Replacement of nonvisible structural elements need not match or duplicate the material being replaced. (4) Contemporary design of alterations is permitted, provided that such alterations do not destroy significant exterior architectural material and that such design is compatible with the size, scale, color, material and character of the building and its surroundings. (5) The degree to which distinctive features need be retained may be less when the alteration is to exterior elements not constituting a part of a principal facade or when it is an alteration of the ground-floor frontage in order to adapt the space for ground-floor uses. (6) In the case of Significant Buildings - Category I, any additions to height of the building (including addition of mechanical equipment) shall be limited to one story above the height of the existing roof, shall be compatible with the scale and character of the building, and shall in no event cover more than 75 percent of the roof area. (7) In the case of Significant Buildings - Category II, a new structure or addition, including one of greater height than the existing building, may be permitted on that portion of the lot not restricted in Appendix B even if such structure or addition will be visible when viewing the principal facades at ground level, provided that the structure or addition does not affect the appearance of the retained portion as a separate structure when so viewing the principal facades and is compatible in form and design with the retained portion. Alteration of the retained portion of the building is permitted as provided in Paragraphs (1) through (6) of this Subsection (c). (d) Within Conservation Districts, all major exterior alterations, of Category V Buildings, shall be compatible in scale and design with the District as set forth in Sections 6 and 7 of the Appendix which describes the District. (e) If TDR have been transferred from any Contributory Building, the building shall be subject to the same restrictions on alterations as a Significant Building. These restrictions may not be removed by the transfer of TDR back to the building. (Added by Ord. 414-85, App. 9/17/85; amended by Ord. 95-12, File No. 120301, App. 5/21/2012, Eff. 6/20/2012) AMENDMENT HISTORY Undesignated introductory paragraph amended; new division (b) added and former divisions (c) and (d) redesignated accordingly; division (e) added; Ord. 95-12, Eff. 6/20/2012.

(a) The HPC, Planning Commission, Board of Appeals, and the Board of Supervisors (each referred to as a "Decisionmaker" for the purposes of this Section) shall apply the following standards in their review of applications for a Permit to Demolish a Significant or Contributory Building or building within a Conservation District. No demolition permit may be approved unless: (1) For Significant Buildings (Categories I and II); and Contributory Buildings (Categories III and IV) from which TDR have been transferred: (A) The Decisionmaker determines and makes written findings based on substantial evidence in the record that the property retains no substantial remaining market value or reasonable use, taking into account the value of any TDR that have been transferred or which may be available to transfer from the property and the cost of rehabilitation to meet the requirements of the Building Code or City, State and federal laws. Costs necessitated by alterations or demolition made in violation of Article 10 or 11, or by failure to maintain the property in violation of Section 1119, may not be included in the calculation of rehabilitation costs; or (B) The Director of the Department of Building Inspection or the Chief of the Bureau of Fire Prevention and Public Safety determines after consultation, to the extent feasible with the HPC and the Planning Department, that an imminent safety hazard exists and that demolition of the structure is the only feasible means to secure the public safety. (2) For Contributory Buildings from which no TDR has been transferred: (A) The Decisionmaker determines and makes written findings based on substantial evidence in the record that the property retains no substantial remaining market value or reasonable use, taking into account the value of any TDR that may be available to transfer from the property and costs of rehabilitation to meet the requirements of the Building Code or City, State and federal laws. Costs necessitated by alterations or demolition made in violation of Article 10 or 11, or by failure to maintain the property in violation of Section 1119, may not be included in the calculation of rehabilitation costs: (B) The Director of the Department of Building Inspection or the Chief of the Bureau of Fire Prevention and Public Safety determines, after consultation to the extent feasible with the HPC and the Planning Department, that an imminent safety hazard exists and that demolition of the structure is the only feasible means to secure the public safety; or (C) The Decisionmaker determines based on substantial evidence in the record that: (i) The rehabilitation and reuse of the building will not meet most of the goals and objectives of the proposed replacement project; (ii) The proposed replacement project is compatible with the Conservation District in which the property is located; and (iii) Specific economic, social, or other benefits of the proposed replacement project significantly outweigh the benefit conferred from the historic preservation of the particular structure or feature. (3) For Category V Buildings (Not Rated) in Conservation Districts: The Decisionmaker determines that: (A) the building has not gained additional historical or architectural significance that may make it eligible for classification as a Category I, II, or IV Building; and (B) the proposed Replacement Building is compatible with the Conservation District in which the property is located. If the Decisionmaker determines based on new documentation presented that a Category V Building has gained significance such that it is eligible for classification as a Category I, II, or IV Building and reclassification of the Category V Building is initiated as provided in Section 1106, the Permit to Demolish shall be reviewed under Subsection (a)(1) or (a)(2) above, and not under this Subsection (a)(3). Additionally, if the building has completed a Compatible Rehabilitation pursuant to Section 1109(c), and has transferred development rights from the property, then the building shall be treated as a Significant Building (Category I or II). Any determination that a Category V Building may be eligible for reclassification shall be void if, within 180 days of such determination, the Board of Supervisors has not re-designated the building to a Category I, II, or IV Building. (b) The cumulative effects on the integrity of the Conservation District associated with demolition of a Contributory Building shall be considered and may be grounds for denial of the Permit to Demolish, if it is found that the demolition would substantially diminish the integrity of the Conservation District. (c) In addition to the above requirements, no demolition permit shall be issued by the Department of Building Inspection or any other agency for any building located in a Conservation District until an application for the new or replacement building has been approved in accordance with the standards for new construction in a Conservation District as provided in this Article, and the building or site permit conforming to such approval has been lawfully issued.

(a) The HPC, Planning Commission, Board of Appeals, and Board of Supervisors shall find in their review of applications for any new or replacement structure or for an addition to any existing structure in a Conservation District that such construction is compatible in scale and design with the District as set forth in Sections 6 and 7 of the Appendix that describes the District. (b) Applications for a building or site permit to construct or add to a structure in any Conservation District shall be reviewed and approved, approved with modifications, or disapproved by the HPC before any other Planning approval action that may be required, including review by the Planning Commission pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 309 and shall only be approved pursuant to Section 309 if they meet the standards set forth in this Article. For projects that require Section 309 review, the Planning Commission may modify the decision of the HPC pursuant to Section 1114, provided that the project does not concern a designated Significant (Categories I and II) or a Contributory (Category III) building. (c) If a building or site permit application to construct or add to a structure in any Conservation District is approved by the HPC pursuant to this Article without modification by the Planning Commission and if the building is constructed in accordance with such approval, and if the building is located in a Conservation District for which, pursuant to Section 8 of the Appendix establishing that district, such a transfer is permitted, the building shall be deemed a Compatible Replacement Building, and the lot on which such building is located shall be eligible as a Preservation Lot for the transfer of TDR.

SEC. 1114. MODIFICATION OF A DECISION OF THE HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION. For projects that require multiple planning approvals, the HPC shall review and act on any Permit to Alter or Permit to Demolish before any other Planning approval action. (a) For projects that require a Conditional Use Authorization or Permit Review under Section 309 and do not concern a Significant Building (Categories I & II) or a Contributory Building (Category III only), the Planning Commission may modify any decision on a Permit to Alter or Permit to Demolish by a two-thirds vote, provided that the Planning Commission shall apply all applicable historic resources provisions of this Code. (b) For projects to be located on vacant lots, the Planning Commission may modify any decision on a Permit to Alter by a two-thirds vote, provided that the Planning Commission shall apply all applicable historic resources provisions of this Code.

SEC. 1115. APPEAL. The HPC's or the Planning Commission's decision on a Permit to Alter or a Permit to Demolish shall be final unless appealed to the Board of Appeals, which may modify the decision by a four-fifths vote; provided, however, that if the project requires Board of Supervisors approval or is appealed to the Board of Supervisors as a Conditional Use Authorization, the decision shall not be appealed to the Board of Appeals but rather to the Board of Supervisors, which may modify the decision by a majority vote.

UNLAWFUL ALTERATION OR DEMOLITION. (a) In addition to any other penalties provided in Section 1120 or elsewhere, alteration or demolition of a Significant or Contributory Building or any building within a Conservation District in violation of the provisions of this Article shall eliminate the eligibility of the building's lot as a Preservation Lot. Such a lot may not be developed in excess of the floor area ratio of the demolished building for a period of 20 years from the unlawful demolition, if it is the site of an unlawfully demolished Significant Building (Category I or II), or Contributory Building (Category III) or the site of an unlawfully demolished Contributory Building (Category IV) from which TDR have been transferred. No department shall approve or issue a permit that would authorize construction of a structure contrary to the provisions of this Section. (b) A property owner may be relieved of the penalties provided in Subsection (a) if: (1) as to an unlawful alteration, the owner can demonstrate to the HPC that the violation would have constituted a Minor Alteration and has applied for a Permit for Minor Alteration to legalize the violation; or (2) as to an unlawful alteration, the owner restores the original distinguishing qualities and character of the building destroyed or altered, including exterior character-defining spaces, materials, features, finishes, exterior walls and exterior ornamentation. A property owner who wishes to effect a restoration pursuant to Subsection (b)(2) shall, in connection with the filing of a building or site permit application, seek approval of the proposed restoration by reference to the provisions of this Section. If the HPC approves the application and determines that the proposed work will effect adequate restoration, the HPC shall so find. Upon approval and the completion of work, the lot shall again become an eligible Preservation Lot and the limitation on floor area ratio set forth in Subsection (a) shall not thereafter apply. The HPC may not approve the restoration unless it first finds that the restoration can be done with a substantial degree of success. The determination under this Subsection (b)(2) is a final administrative decision.

SEC. 4. RELATION TO CITY PLANNING CODE. (a) Article 11 of the City Planning Code is the basic law governing preservation of buildings and districts of architectural importance in the C-3 District of the City and County of San Francisco. This Appendix is subject to and in addition to the provisions thereof. (b) Except as may be specifically provided to the contrary in this Code, nothing in this Appendix shall supersede, impair or modify any City Planning Code provisions applicable to property in the Kearny-Market-Mason-Sutter Conservation District, including, but not limited to, regulations controlling uses, height, bulk, coverage, floor area ratio, required open space, off-street parking, and signs. (Added Ord. 414-85, App. 9/17/85) SEC. 5. JUSTIFICATION. The characteristics of the Conservation District justifying its designation are as follows: (a) History of the District. Since the Kearny-Market-Mason-Sutter District covers a large area, individual streets within the district have had unique histories which have often changed dramatically over time. Maiden Lane (originally called Morton Street) was once the site of numerous houses of prostitution. Yet, after the fire and the opening of nearby department stores the renamed Union Square Avenue became the service entrance for those stores. In time, restaurants and retail stores opened, paving the way for the emergence of Maiden Lane as an exclusive retail address. Similarly, before the earthquake Powell Street, home to many theaters and restaurants, was known as the "uptown tenderloin." In the 1920's, the opening of numerous hotels and retail stores led to a gradual change of character on the street. These changing land-use patterns were in part determined by the movement of high-quality retail stores. Throughout the years, the closing or movement of larger department stores has often provided new space for smaller stores, and has strongly influenced their locations. The best known stores of the retail district were located on Kearny Street in the 1870's and 1880's. The growth of the City, due in part to the introduction of cable car service, led to the movement of the retail district towards both Market Street and the Grant Avenue/Union Square area. Beginning in the 1880's, department stores such as the Emporium and Hale Brothers opened large stores on Market Street. However, the large width of Market Street and its distance from high income residential neighborhoods on Nob Hill hindered its further development as a high class retail district. By the 1920's, Market Street had become San Francisco's family shopping street. The prominence of the Grant Avenue/Union Square retail area as an exclusive shopping district was assured when I. Magnin (originally on Third Street) moved from Market Street to the corner of Grant Avenue and Geary Street. The location of the City of Paris at the corner of Geary and Stockton Streets across from Union Square firmly established Union Square as the most desirable location in the retail district. I. Magnin eventually moved to a building across from Union Square and O'Connor Moffat (now Macys) located at the corner of Geary and Stockton Streets. A side effect of the development of Union Square as a retail district was the displacement of many medical and dental offices by b

treets across from Union Square firmly established Union Square as the most desirable location in the retail district. I. Magnin eventually moved to a building across from Union Square and O'Connor Moffat (now Macys) located at the corner of Geary and Stockton Streets. A side effect of the development of Union Square as a retail district was the displacement of many medical and dental offices by beauty parlors and restaurants catering to the new retail trade. Since the 1920's, Lower Grant Avenue and the Union Square area have been the City's premier shopping district. Concurrent with the development of Grant Avenue/Union Square as a retail district were the relocations of the hotel and theater districts. By the 1890's, the theater district relocated from Bush Street (between Grant and Kearny) to the area west of Union Square. Whereas hotels were once clustered at the intersection of Montgomery and Market Streets, after the 1906 Fire most hotels also moved to the area west of Union Square. The establishment of the St. Francis Hotel on the west side of the square was a major impetus to the hotel relocation. Before the fire, this area had been the site of many household goods establishments. (b) Basic Nature of the District. The pattern of development is one of small-scaled, light- colored buildings predominantly four to eight stories in height. The height and scale provide for a streetscape which is attractive to the pedestrian because of the comfortable scale and sunlit sidewalks. This dense area is the heart of San Francisco's retail and tourist sectors, containing a concentration of fine shops, department stores, theaters, hotels, and restaurants. As such, it is one of the main attractions to tourists from around the country and world, as well as the prime retail district in the Bay Area. The District is further defined by the location of Union Square in its heart. This square is, in many ways, the premier public open space in the City, as well as a primary public forum. (c) Architectural Character. The character of the area is determined by the many fine quality structures, among the best in the City, and supported by a number of contributory buildings. Since the entire area was built in less than 20 years, and the major portion in less than 10 years, buildings were constructed in similar styles and structural technology. Perhaps even more importantly, architects were of like backgrounds, schooled in the classical Beaux Arts tradition. In addition to their individual architectural features, the scale and design of buildings in the district related very well with neighboring buildings, streets and open spaces. This effect was achieved in large part by the alignment of cornice and belt course lines. The buildings used compatible detailing, colors, materials, massing, and scale. Ornament was derived from Classical, Renaissance, Gothic and Romanesque sources. In a limited number of examples, ornament was developed from early Spanish Colonial models.

(d) Uniqueness and Location. The District’s character, although it has many buildings of recent vintage, is largely intact. It is one of the few homogeneous collections of early Twentieth Century commercial architecture of its type in the United States. At the time of designation in 1985, this District included 324 buildings, 114 of which were identified as architecturally significant and 140 as contributory. Only 98 buildings were not rated. Subsequent amendments to the District and reclassification of individual buildings have resulted in a greater concentration of architecturally significant properties. Union Square, an integral part of the District, is a unique resource and ranks with the finest open spaces in the country. The area is centrally located and easily accessible to the Financial District, Nob Hill, the Tenderloin, and the South of Market, as well as outlying districts of the City. The Powell Street Cable Car lines is a unique feature which relates the area to the entire northeastern quadrant of the City and attracts tourists to the area. (e) Visual and Functional Unity. The character of the area is determined by a series of buildings whose compositions and use of materials and ornament are complementary, as well as by the regular street pattern which creates interesting views and vistas down the streets. Within the District, several subareas increase the variety and complexity of the District while retaining its essential architectural character. (f) Dynamic Continuity. The District is the center of San Francisco’s retail market and is constantly responding to new trends and needs. The area has seen the recent opening of two major department stores and, in addition, many new small stores. Indeed, much of the pedestrian interest so important to the District is a result of the ever-changing shop windows and stores. (g) Benefits to the City and its Residents. The District provides a wide range of benefits to both the City and its residents. Much of the retailing area’s vitality is attributable to its physical character. The mix of shops and unique buildings is not duplicated in suburban shopping malls, and, because of this, the area attracts shoppers from around the Bay Area. The District is a prime destination for tourists and is therefore an important part of San Francisco’s image. The prevailing architectural character is an important legacy from the Beaux Arts tradition and contains many fine examples of commercial architecture. (Added Ord. 414-85, App. 9/17/85; amended by Ord. 259-18, File No. 180726, App. 11/2/2018, Eff. 12/3/2018) SEC. 6. FEATURES. The exterior architectural features of the Kearny-Market-Mason-Sutter Conservation District are as follows: (a) Massing and Composition. The compositions of the building facades reflect the different architectural functions of the building. For the most part, building facades in the district are two- or three-part vertical compositions consisting either of a base and a shaft, or a base, a shaft and a capital. In more elaborate designs, transitional stories create a stacked composition, but the design effect is similar. In addition, the facade of a building is often divided into bays expressing the structure (commonly steel and reinforced concrete) beneath the facade. This was accomplished through fenestration, structural articulation or other detailing which serves to break the facade into discrete segments. A common compositional device in the District is an emphasis placed upon either the end bays or the central bay. The massing of the structures is usually a simple vertically oriented rectangle with a ratio of width to height generally from 1:2 to 1:4. This vertically oriented massing is an important characteristic of the District. In addition, continuous streetwall heights are a characteristic of most blockfronts. Almost without exception, the buildings in the Kearny-Market-Mason-Sutter Conservation District are built to the front property line and occupy the entire site. Where buildings have not followed this rule, they do not adequately enclose the street. The massing of structures often reflects unique or prominent site characteristics. Corner buildings often have rounded corner bays to express the special requirements of the site and to tie its two blockfronts together. (b) Scale. The buildings are of small to medium scale. The bay width is generally from 20 feet to 30 feet. Heights generally range from four to eight stories on lots 40 feet to 80 feet wide, although a number of taller buildings exist. The wider frontages are often broken up by articulation of the facade, making the buildings appear narrower. The base is generally delineated from the rest of the building giving the District an intimate scale at the street. (c) Materials and Colors. Buildings are usually clad in masonry materials over a supporting structure. The cladding materials include terra cotta, brick, stone and stucco. Wood, metal and metal panels are not facade materials, although painted wood and metal are sometimes used for window sash and ornament. The materials are generally colored light or medium earth tones, including white, cream, buff, yellow, and brown. Individual buildings generally use a few different tones of one color. To express the mass and weight of the structure, masonry materials are used on multidimensional wall surfaces with texture and depth, which simulates the qualities necessary to support the weight of a load-bearing wall. (d) Detailing and Ornamentation. This area has been the heart of the retail district since it was reconstructed after the fire. Buildings use the expression of texture and depth on masonry material (e.g., rustication, deep window reveals) to simulate the appearance of load-bearing walls. The buildings are not constructed in a single style, but with ornament drawn from a variety of historical sources, primarily Classical and Renais

his area has been the heart of the retail district since it was reconstructed after the fire. Buildings use the expression of texture and depth on masonry material (e.g., rustication, deep window reveals) to simulate the appearance of load-bearing walls. The buildings are not constructed in a single style, but with ornament drawn from a variety of historical sources, primarily Classical and Renaissance. Gothic detailing is also well represented. Popular details include, arches, columns, pilasters, projecting bracketed cornices, multiple belt-courses, elaborate lintels and pediments, and decorated spandrels. Details were used to relate buildings to their neighbors by repeating and varying the ornament used in the surrounding structures. (Added Ord. 414-85, App. 9/17/85) SEC. 7. STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES FOR REVIEW OF NEW CONSTRUCTION AND CERTAIN ALTERATIONS. (a) All construction of new buildings and all major alterations, which are subject to the provisions of Sections 1110, 1111 through 1111.6 and 1113, shall be compatible with the District in general with respect to the building's composition and massing, scale, materials and colors, and detailing and ornamentation, including those features described in Section 6 of this Appendix. Emphasis shall be placed on compatibility with those buildings in the area in which the new or altered building is located. In the case of major alterations, only those building characteristics that are affected by the proposed alteration shall be considered in assessing compatibility. Signs on buildings in conservation districts are subject to the provisions of Section 1111.7. The foregoing standards do not require, or even encourage, new buildings to imitate the styles of the past. Rather, they require the new to be compatible with the old. The determination of compatibility shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 309. (b) The guidelines in this Subsection are to be used in assessing compatibility. (1) Composition and Massing. Although the District is quite large and contains a wide variety of building forms, new construction should maintain its essential character by relating to the prevailing height, mass, proportions, rhythm and composition of existing Significant and Contributory Buildings. The height and massing of new buildings should not alter the traditional scale of existing buildings, streets and open spaces. In addition to the consideration of sunlight access for the street, an appropriate streetwall height is established by reference to the prevailing height of the buildings on the block and especially that of adjacent buildings. If the adjacent buildings are of a significantly different height than the rest of the buildings on the block, then the prevailing height of buildings on the block should be used as a guide. A setback at the streetwall height can permit additional height above the setback without breaking the continuity of the street wall. Most existing buildings are built to the property or street line. This pattern, except in the case of carefully selected open spaces, should not be broken since it could damage the continuity of building rhythms and the definitions of streets. The standard proportions of new buildings should be established by the prevailing streetwall height and width of lots. To ensure that an established set of proportions is maintained, it is necessary to break up the facades of new buildings into smaller sections that relate to those existing proportions. The use of smaller bays and multiple entrances are two ways of relating the rhythm of a new building with those of historic buildings. The design of a new structure should repeat the prevailing pattern of two- and three-part vertical compositions. A base element is necessary to define the pedestrian environment. This division of a building allows flexibility in the design of the ground story while encouraging a uniform treatment of the upper stories. (2) Scale. A major influence on scale is the degree to which the total facade plane is broken into smaller parts (by detailing, fenestration, bay widths) which relate to human scale. While department stores and hotels are of a medium scale, the traditional pattern for the District has consisted of small scale buildings. The existing scale of the buildings in the vicinity should be maintained. This can be accomplished in a variety of ways, including: a consistent use of size and complexity of detailing in regards to surrounding buildings, continuance of existing bay widths, maintenance of an existing streetwall height, and incorporation of a base element (of similar height) to maintain the pedestrian environment. Large wall surfaces, which increase a building's scale, should be broken up through the use of detailing and textural variation. Existing fenestration (windows, entrances) rhythms and proportions which have been established by lot width or bay width should be repeated in new structures. The spacing and size of window openings should follow the sequence set by Significant and Contributory structures. Large glass areas should be broken up by mullions so that the scale of glazed areas is compatible with that of neighboring buildings. Casement and double-hung windows should be used where possible.

(3) Materials and Colors. The use of like materials can relate two buildings of obviously different eras and styles. Similarly, the use of materials that appear similar (such as substituting concrete for stone) can link two disparate structures, or harmonize the appearance of a new structure with the architectural character of a conservation district. The preferred surface materials for this district are brick, stone, and concrete (simulated to look like terra cotta or stone). The texture of surfaces can be treated in a manner so as to emphasize the bearing function of the material, as is done in rustication on historic buildings. Traditional light colors should be used in order to blend in with the character of the district. Dissimilar buildings may be made more compatible by using similar or harmonious colors, and to a lesser extent, by using similar textures. (4) Detailing and Ornamentation. A new building should relate to the surrounding area by picking up elements from surrounding buildings and repeating them or developing them for new purposes. Since the District has one of the largest collections of finely ornamented buildings in the City, these buildings should serve as references for new buildings. Detailing of a similar shape and placement can be used without directly copying historical ornament. The new structure should incorporate prevailing cornice lines or belt courses and may also use a modern vernacular instead of that of the original model. (Added Ord. 414-85, App. 9/17/85) SEC. 8.

(Added Ord. 414-85, App. 9/17/85; amended by Ord. 182-12 , File No. 120665, App. 8/8/2012, Eff. 9/7/2012) SEC. 5. JUSTIFICATION. The characteristics of the Conservation District justifying its designation are as follows: (a) History of the District. The core of the New Montgomery-Mission-Second Street Conservation District is a product of the post-1906 reconstruction of downtown San Francisco. Rebuilt between 1906 and 1933 this district represents a collection of masonry commercial loft buildings that exhibit a high level of historic architectural integrity and create a cohesive district of two-to-eight story masonry buildings of similar scale, massing, setback, materials, fenestration pattern, style, and architectural detailing. This corridor forms one of the earliest attempts to extend the uses of the financial and retail districts to the South of Market area. Since Montgomery Street was the most important commercial street in the 1870's, New Montgomery Street was planned as a southern extension from Market Street to the Bay. Opposition from landowners south of Howard Street, however, prevented the street from reaching its original bayside destination. William Ralston, who was instrumental in the development of the new street, built the Grand Hotel and later the Palace Hotel at its Market Street intersection. A wall of large hotels on Market Street actually hindered the growth of New Montgomery Street and few retail stores and offices ventured south of Market Street. The unusually wide width of Market Street acted as a barrier between areas to the north and south for many years. A small number of office buildings were built on New Montgomery Street as far south as Atom Alley (now Natoma Street) after the fire. Many buildings were completed in 1907, and most of the street assumed its present character by 1914. At 74 New Montgomery Street, the Call newspaper established its first headquarters. A noteworthy addition to the streetscape was the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Building. At the time of its completion in 1925, it was the largest building on the West Coast devoted to the exclusive use of one firm. Until the 1960's, the office district on New Montgomery Street was the furthest extension of the financial district into the South of Market area. More characteristic were warehouses and businesses which supported the nearby office district. For example, the Furniture Exchange at the northwest corner of New Montgomery and Howard Streets, completed in 1920, was oriented to other wholesale and showroom uses along Howard Street. One block to the east, Second Street had a different history from New Montgomery Street. The future of Second Street as an extension of the downtown depended upon the southward extension of the street through the hill south of Howard Street. At one time there was even a proposal to extend Second Street north in order to connect with Montgomery Street. The decision to extend Montgomery Street south rather than Second Street north due to the high cost of the Second Street Cut, however, discouraged retail and office growth on the street. As a result, by the 1880's Second Street was established as a wholesaling rather than retail or office area. In the 1920's, Second Street contained a wide mixture of office support services. These included printers, binderies, a saddlery, a wholesale pharmaceutical outlet, and a variety of other retail stores and smaller offices. Industrial uses were commonly located on the alleyways such as Minna and Natoma and on Second Street, south of Howard Street. Howard Street between 1st and 3rd Street became a popular and convenient extension for retail and wholesale dealers after 1906. As with Mission Street, the area still contains a number of smaller commercial loft structures that represent some of the best examples within the district, such as the Volker Building at 625 Howard Street, the Crellin Building at 583 Howard Street, and the Sharon Estate Building at 667 Howard Street. The transformation of much of the area within the boundaries of the New Montgomery-Mission-Second Street Conservation District into a southerly extension of downtown was reflected in the large number of multi-story structures built along both Mission and Market streets. The intersection of 3rd and Mission evolved into the most important intersections in the survey area, bracketed on three corners by important early skyscrapers, including the rebuilt Aronson Building on the northwest corner, the Williams Buildings on the southeast corner, and the Gunst Building (demolished) on the southwest corner. (b) Basic Nature of the District. New Montgomery Street is characterized by large buildings th

on evolved into the most important intersections in the survey area, bracketed on three corners by important early skyscrapers, including the rebuilt Aronson Building on the northwest corner, the Williams Buildings on the southeast corner, and the Gunst Building (demolished) on the southwest corner. (b) Basic Nature of the District. New Montgomery Street is characterized by large buildings that often occupy an entire section of a block defined by streets and alleys or a major portion of these subblocks. The buildings are of a variety of heights, but the heights of most of the buildings range from five to eight stories. Second Street is characterized by smaller, less architecturally significant buildings, but, because of their continuous streetwall, they form a more coherent streetscape. Without some sort of protection for the less significant buildings, the quality of the district would be lost due to pressure from the expanding office core. (c) Architectural Character. Most of the contributing buildings are designed in the American Commercial Style and feature facades divided into a tripartite arrangement consisting of a base, shaft, and capital. Although the scale and size of the structures on New Montgomery Street are somewhat monumental, the area remains attractive for pedestrians. There are a number of outstanding buildings concentrated on New Montgomery, such as the Palace Hotel, the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Building tower, and the Sharon Building. Ornamentation of district contributors is most often Renaissance-Baroque with later examples of Spanish, Colonial, Gothic Revival Styles, and Art Deco. Examples of the styles range from the Gothic skyscraper massing and Art Deco detailing of the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Building to the Renaissance Palazzo style of the Palace Hotel. The primary building materials are earthtone bricks, stone or terra cotta, with ornamental details executed in a variety of materials including terra cotta, metal, stucco and stone. With the exceptions of corner buildings, Second Street, Mission and Howard Streets have a smaller, more intimate scale. While on New Montgomery Street, buildings typically occupy an entire subblock, on Second Street, three or four small buildings will occupy the same area. The buildings are generally mixed-use office and retail structures, two-to-seven stories in height, with Renaissance-influenced ornament. The two streets are unified by several elements, including an architectural vocabulary which draws from similar historical sources, similar materials, scale, fenestration, color, stylistic origins, texture, and ornament. (d) Uniqueness and Location. The District is located close to the central core of the financial district and is adjacent to an area projected for the future expansion. It is one of the few architecturally significant areas remaining largely intact in the South of Market area. (e) Visual and Functional Unity. The District has a varied character ranging from the small and intimate on the alley streets to a more monumental scale on New Montgomery. In spite of this wide range, the district forms a coherent entity due to the buildings' common architectural vocabulary and the rhythm of building masses created by the District's intersecting alleys. (f) Dynamic Continuity. The District is an active part of the downtown area, and after some years of neglect is undergoing reinvestment, which is visible in the rehabilitation of the Pacific Telephone Building, and the repair and rehabilitation of other buildings in the District. (g) Benefits to the City and Its Residents. The District is a microcosm of twentieth century commercial architecture, ranging from low-level speculative office blocks to the City's premier hotels and executive offices of the time. The District now houses a variety of uses from inexpensive restaurants and support commercial uses, such as printers, to executive offices. The area retains a comfortable human scale, which will become increasingly important as neighboring areas of the South of Market become more densely developed. (Added Ord. 414-85, App. 9/17/85; amended by Ord. 182-12 , File No. 120665, App. 8/8/2012, Eff. 9/7/2012) SEC. 6. FEATURES. The exterior architectural features of the New Montgomery-Mission-Second Street District are as follows: (a) Massing and Composition. Almost without exception, the buildings in the New Montgomery-Mission-Second Conservation District are built to the front property line and occupy the entire site. Most buildings are either square or rectangular in plan, some with interior light courts to allow sunlight and air into the interiors of buildings. Nearly all cover their entire parcels, and their primary facades face the street. Building massings along New Montgomery and Second Streets have different directional orientations. For the most part, the large buildings on New Montgomery Street are horizontally oriented, since they are built on relatively large lots, often occupying an entire blockface. Their horizontal width often exceeds their height. The buildings on Second Street are built on much smaller lots, and hence have a vertical orientation. An exception on New Montgomery is the tower of the Pacific Telephone and

Telegraph Building, whose soaring verticality is unique for that street. To express the mass and weight of the structure, masonry materials are used on multi-dimensional wall surfaces with texture and depth, which simulates the qualities necessary to support the weight of a load-bearing wall. Despite their differing orientation, almost all buildings share a two or three-part compositional arrangement. In addition, buildings are often divided into bays which establish a steady rhythm along the streets of the District. The rhythm is the result of fenestration, structural articulation or other detailing which breaks the facade into discrete segments. A common compositional device in the District is the emphasis placed upon either the end bays or the central bay. (b) Scale. More than two-thirds of the contributing buildings are three-to-eight story brick or concrete commercial loft buildings constructed during the five years after the 1906 Earthquake and Fire. The scale of the District varies from the small buildings on Howard, Mission, Natoma, and Second Streets, such as the Phoenix Desk Company Building at 666 Mission Street, the Burdette Building at 90 Second Street, and the Emerison Flag Company Building at 161 Natoma Street; to medium-scaled structures on Mission and New Montgomery Streets, such as the Veronica Building at 647 Mission Street, and the Standard Building at 111 New Montgomery Street; to large-scale buildings on New Montgomery Street, such as the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Building at 140 New Montgomery. On New Montgomery Street, the large facades are not commonly divided into smaller bays, establishing a medium scale when combined with the five- to eight-story height of the buildings. Similarly, the use of elaborate ornament on many of the buildings breaks their large facades into smaller sections and accordingly reduces their scale. Second Street is characterized by much smaller buildings with more frequent use of vertical piers whose scale is very intimate for the South of Market area. (c) Materials and Color. Various forms of masonry are the predominant building materials in the district. A number of buildings on the northern end of New Montgomery use brown or buff brick. Terra cotta is also used as a facing material, and is frequently glazed to resemble granite or other stones. On Second and Mission Streets, several buildings are faced in stucco. To express the mass and weight of the structure, masonry materials are often rusticated at the ground and second story to increase the textural variation and sense of depth. Several buildings along Howard Street are noteworthy because they are clad in brick in warm earth tones, exhibit fine masonry craftsmanship, and remain unpainted. The materials are generally colored light or medium earth tones, including white, cream, buff, yellow, and brown. Individual buildings generally use a few different tones of one color. (d) Detailing and Ornamentations. Buildings range from industrial brick and stucco office/warehouses to ornately decorated office buildings. The details on the latter buildings are generally of Classical/Renaissance derivation and include projecting cornices and belt courses, rustication, columns and colonnades, and arches. Industrial commercial buildings are noted by their utilitarian nature, with limited areas or ornament applied at the cornice entablature and around windows. (Added Ord. 414-85, App. 9/17/85; amended by Ord. 182-12 , File No. 120665, App. 8/8/2012, Eff. 9/7/2012) SEC. 7. STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES FOR REVIEW OF NEW CONSTRUCTION AND CERTAIN ALTERATIONS. (a) Standards. All construction of new buildings and all major alterations, which are subject to the provisions of Sections 1110, 1111 through 1111.6 and 1113, shall be compatible with the District in general with respect to the building's composition and massing, scale, materials and colors, and detailing and ornamentation, including those features described in Section 6 of this Appendix. Emphasis shall be placed on compatibility with those buildings in the area in which the new or altered building is located. In the case of major alterations, only those building characteristics that are affected by the proposed alteration shall be considered in assessing compatibility. Signs on buildings in conservation districts are subject to the provisions of Section 1111.7. The foregoing standards do not require, or even encourage, new buildings to imitate the styles of the past. Rather, they require the new to be compatible with the old. The determination of compatibility shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 309. (b) Guidelines. The guidelines in this subsection shall be used in assessing compatibility. (1) Composition and Massing. New construction should maintain the character of surrounding buildings by relating to their prevailing height, mass, proportions, rhythm and composition. In addition to the consideration of sunlight access for the street, an appropriate streetwall height is established by reference to the prevailing height of the buildings on the block and especially that of adjacent buildings. The prevailing height of buildings on New Montgomery Street is between five and eight stories while buildings on Second Street commonly range from three to six stories. A setback at the streetwall height can permit additional height above the setback up to the height limit without breaking the continuity of the street wall. Almost all existing buildings are built to the property or street line. This pattern, except in the case of carefully selected open spaces, should not be broken since it could damage the continuity of building rhythms and the definition of streets. Proportions for new buildings should be established by the prevailing streetwall height and the width of existing buildings. On New Montgomery Street, the historic pattern of large lot

the property or street line. This pattern, except in the case of carefully selected open spaces, should not be broken since it could damage the continuity of building rhythms and the definition of streets. Proportions for new buildings should be established by the prevailing streetwall height and the width of existing buildings. On New Montgomery Street, the historic pattern of large lot development permits new buildings to have a horizontal orientation. In order to ensure that an established set of proportions is maintained on Second Street, new construction should break up facades into discrete elements that relate to prevailing building masses. The use of smaller bays and multiple building entrances are ways in which to relate the proportions of a new building with those of existing buildings. The design of a new structure should repeat the prevailing pattern of two- and three-part vertical compositions. One-part buildings without bases do not adequately define the pedestrian streetscape and do not relate well to the prevailing two- and three-part structures. (2) Scale. The existing scale can be accomplished in a variety of ways, including: a consistent use of size and complexity of detailing with regard to surrounding buildings, continuance of existing bay widths, maintenance of the existing streetwall height, and the use of a base element (of similar height) to maintain the pedestrian environment. Large wall surfaces, which increase a building's scale, should be broken up through the use of vertical piers, detailing and textural variation to reduce the scale of Second Street. Existing fenestration (windows, entrances) and rhythms which have been established by lot width or bay width should be repeated in new structures. The spacing and size of window openings should follow the sequence set by historic structures. Large glass areas should be broken up by mullions so that the scale of glazed areas is compatible with that of neighboring buildings. Casement and double-hung windows should be used where possible since most existing buildings use these window types. (3) Materials and Colors. The use of masonry and stone materials or materials that appear similar (such as substituting concrete for stone) can link two disparate structures, or harmonize the appearance of a new structure with the architectural character of a Conservation District. The preferred surface materials for this District are brick, stone, terra cotta and concrete (simulated to look like terra cotta or stone). The texture of surfaces can be treated in a manner so as to emphasize the bearing function of the material, as is done with rustication on the Rialto Building. Traditional light colors should be used in order to blend in with the character of the district. Dissimilar buildings may be made more compatible by using similar or harmonious colors, and to a lesser extent, by using similar textures. (4) Detailing and Ornamentation. A new building should relate to the surrounding area by picking up elements from surrounding buildings and repeating them or developing them for new purposes. The new structure should incorporate prevailing cornice lines or belt courses. A variety of Renaissance/Baroque, Gothic and Moderne ornament in the District provides sources for detailing in new buildings in order to strengthen their relationship. Similarly shaped forms can be used as detailing without directly copying historical ornament.

APPENDIX G TO ARTICLE 11 COMMERCIAL-LEIDESDORFF CONSERVATION DISTRICT SEC. 1. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES. It is hereby found that the area known and described in this Appendix as the Commercial-Leidesdorff area is a Subarea within the C-3 District that possesses concentrations of buildings that together create a Subarea of architectural quality and importance which contributes to the beauty and attractiveness of the City. It is further found that the area meets the standards for designation of a Conservation District as set forth in Section 1103 of Article 11 and that the designation of said area as a Conservation District will be in furtherance of and in conformance with the purposes of Article 11 of the City Planning Code. This designation is intended to promote the health, safety, prosperity and welfare of the people of the City through the effectuation of the purposes set forth in Section 1101 of Article 11 and the maintenance of the scale and character of the Commercial-Leidesdorff area by: (a) The protection and preservation of the basic characteristics and salient architectural details of structures insofar as these characteristics and details are compatible with the Conservation District; (b) Providing scope for the continuing vitality of the District through private renewal and architectural creativity, within appropriate controls and standards. It is intended to foster a climate in which the Commercial-Leidesdorff area may continue to exist as an important part of the City's commercial base, providing a quiet contrast to the bustle of the rest of the Financial District; and (c) Encouragement of the continued intensive use of the District by financial district workers during the noon hours. (Added Ord. 414-85, App. 9/17/85) SEC. 2. DESIGNATION. Pursuant to Section 1103.1 of Article 11, of the City Planning Code (Part II, Chapter XI of the San Francisco Municipal Code), the Commercial-Leidesdorff area is hereby designated as a Conservation District. (Added Ord. 414-85, App. 9/17/85) SEC. 3. LOCATION AND BOUNDARIES. The location and boundaries of the Commercial-Leidesdorff District shall be as designated on the Commercial-Leidesdorff Conservation District Map, the original of which is on file with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors under File No. 223-84-4, which Map is hereby incorporated herein as though fully set forth, and a facsimile of which is reproduced hereinbelow. (Added Ord. 414-85, App. 9/17/85) SEC. 4. RELATION TO CITY PLANNING CODE. (a) Article 11 of the City Planning Code is the basic law governing preservation of buildings and districts of architectural importance in the C-3 District of the City and County of San Francisco. This Appendix is subject to and in addition to the provisions thereof. (b) Except as may be specifically provided to the contrary in this Code, nothing in this Appendix shall supersede, impair or modify any City Planning Code provisions applicable to property in the Commercial-Leidesdorff Conservation District, including, but not limited to, regulations controlling uses, height, bulk, coverage, floor area ratio, required open space, off- street parking, and signs. (Added Ord. 414-85, App. 9/17/85) SEC. 5. JUSTIFICATION.

The characteristics of the Conservation District justifying its designation are as follows: (a) History of the District. In the 1840's, Montgomery Street (where Captain Jack Montgomery landed) was the wharfside street of the new City. During the Gold Rush a few years later, the new street running parallel with the extended shoreline was named after William Alexander Leidesdorff, the owner of a warehouse at the water's edge. Commercial Street, originally one block between Kearny and Montgomery Streets, grew to the east as land was filled around the Long Wharf. The first relocation of financial offices in the downtown happened when banks moved their offices, which had been at Portsmouth Square, to the intersection of Montgomery and Commercial Streets. Since that time, Montgomery Street has been the financial center for San Francisco. While financial uses gradually moved south on Montgomery Street towards Market Street in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, by the 1920's, the banking center was reestablished in the vicinity of Montgomery and California Streets. The completion of the Pacific Gas and Electric Substation at the corner of Sacramento and Leidesdorff Street in 1923, largely completed the redevelopment of the Commercial- Leidesdorff District. Buildings along Montgomery Street such as the Bank of Italy Building and the former Bank of Canton Building retained the scale of the pre-fire city. A classical design was used for these banking temples in order to impress the public with the soundness and stability of the bank. The Bank of America (then known as the Bank of Italy) had its headquarters located in the District for many years. While Montgomery Street has historically been the preferred address for major banks and offices, Commercial and Leidesdorff Streets contained a wide variety of uses which found it convenient to be located near the office district. In the 19th century, Leidesdorff Street connected the A. Paladini Fish Market on Clay Street with the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce on Pine. In the 1920's, these streets boasted several printers and binderies, a cigar factory (554 Commercial), photoengravers, a chemical storage warehouse as well as a paints, oils and varnish business. (b) Basic Nature of the District. The special character of this block is created by the intersection of Commercial and Leidesdorff Streets, dividing the block into quadrants. The northeast quadrant of the block has been developed by a highrise of insensitive scale and design and was therefore excluded from this District. The remaining three quadrants of the Conservation District remain intact. The small size of the parcels determines narrow width of the buildings. Focusing on the intersection of the two alleys, the District is a quiet area contrasting with the intensity of the Financial District. Because of the small scale, presence of sunshine, and variety of restaurants, this area is extremely popular at lunchtime. (c) Architectural Character. The character of the area is established by a number of buildings of outstanding merit serving as anchors for the District. The contributory buildings are of relatively high quality and are unusually supportive of the District's character. A wide variety of styles exists in the small district, including Classical banking temples, three Pacific Gas and Electric substations with Romanesque and Classical ornament, and one of the more unique Gothic-ornamented structures in the downtown. This collection of styles creates rich visual interest within a concentrated pedestrian environment. (d) Uniqueness and Location. The area is located on the northern edge of the Financial District and is separated from the Jackson Square Historic District by the Transamerica Pyramid. The District is readily accessible from Chinatown, North Beach and Telegraph Hill, as well as the downtown adjacent development. There are no inappropriate modern structures located within its boundaries. Alterations to the ground story have generally been sympathetic to both the character of the district and the buildings themselves. (e) Visual and Functional Unity. The character of the area is one of a common small scale and intimacy created by its intersecting alleys, small lots, masonry structures and buildings with classically derived ornament. Commercial Street links the area to surrounding older development, with views down Commercial Street to the Ferry Building tower in one direction, and to Chinatown in the other direction. The narrowness of the alley and small scale of its buildings makes the district attractive to pedestrians. (f) Dynamic Continuity. The District is a center for restaurants catering to a lunch and after-work clientele. In addition to its entertainment functions, banking, office, retail and industrial uses insure a healthy and productive mix of activities throughout the day. (g) Benefits to the City and its Residents. The District provides a variety of older buildings incorporating space for commercial uses. The area serves as an architectural resource for its concentration of early 20th Century architecture. (Added Ord. 414-85, App. 9/17/85) SEC. 6. FEATURES. The exterior architectural features of the Commercial-Leidesdorff District are as follows: (a) Massing and Composition. For the most part, the buildings are two- or three-part vertical compositions consisting either of a base and a shaft, or a base, a shaft and a capital. The District has a number of low, one-part buildings. These are banking temples and the Pacific, Gas and Electric substations. Some of the smaller buildings use central entryways to create a symmetrical composition. These designs relate well to their context, largely because the narrow streets do not demand a high building or one with multiple parts to maintain a street enclosure. In addition, buildings are often divided into bays expressing the structure. This w

emples and the Pacific, Gas and Electric substations. Some of the smaller buildings use central entryways to create a symmetrical composition. These designs relate well to their context, largely because the narrow streets do not demand a high building or one with multiple parts to maintain a street enclosure. In addition, buildings are often divided into bays expressing the structure. This was accomplished through fenestration, structural articulation or other detailing which serves to break the facade into discrete segments. A common compositional device in the district is an emphasis placed upon either the end bays or the central bay, creating a varied facade. Lots are narrow and shallow, typically 20 feet X 60 feet, encouraging a predominant building form of from one to four stories. Buildings up to eight stories on Montgomery Street reflect its function as a prime financial office address. Almost without exception, the buildings in the Commercial-Leidesdorff Conservation District are built to the front property line and occupy the entire site. A number of buildings have "L"-shaped massing or through-block lots with frontages on two streets. This reflects the high land values of this District at the time of construction, and the function of the alleys for building service access. (b) Scale. The buildings are of small scale, created by elaborate detailing and low height. A major influence on scale is the degree to which the total facade plane is broken into smaller parts. Window and door openings are relatively small, creating large wall areas, which are frequently heavily ornamented. The bay width is generally from 15 feet to 20 feet. The narrow spacing between the vertical elements creates a regular rhythm. As noted above, the wider frontages are often broken up by articulation of the facade, making the buildings appear narrower. Heights generally range from one to four stories on lots 20 feet to 30 feet wide, although a few taller and wider buildings exist. The base is generally delineated from the rest of the building, giving the District an intimate scale at the street. The alleys are only 30 feet to 36 feet wide, creating an intimate scale. Sacramento Street, the narrowest major street in the downtown at 49 feet, also enhances this small scale. (c) Materials and Colors. Buildings are either clad in masonry over a supporting structure, or are constructed of masonry with load-bearing walls. The cladding materials include brick, terra cotta, stucco, and stone. The buildings fronting on the alleys use materials with rough surface treatments, reflecting the buildings' utilitarian nature. Wood, metal, and metal panels are not commonly used facade materials in the District, although painted wood and metal are sometimes used for window sash and ornament. The materials are generally colored of light or medium earth tones, including cream, buff, yellow, grey, and brown. Individual buildings generally use a few different tones of one color, highlighting the ornament. Dark or intense colors are not commonly used. (d) Detailing and Ornamentation. The buildings are not constructed in a single style, but with ornament drawn from a variety of historical sources, primarily classical sources. Arcades and arched entryways are common elements in the buildings. Popular details include arches, columns, pilasters, projecting bracketed cornices, multiple belt-courses, elaborate lintels, and pediments. Details were used to relate buildings to their neighbors by repeating and varying the ornament used in the surrounding structures. (Added Ord. 414-85, App. 9/17/85) SEC. 7. STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES FOR REVIEW OF NEW CONSTRUCTION AND CERTAIN ALTERATIONS. (a) Standards. All construction of new buildings and all major alterations, which are subject to the provisions of Sections 1110, 1111 through 1111.6 and 1113, shall be compatible with the District in general with respect to the building's composition and massing, scale, materials and colors, and detailing and ornamentation, including those features described in Section 6 of this Appendix. Emphasis shall be placed on compatibility with those buildings in the area in which the new or altered building is located. In the case of major alterations, only those building characteristics that are affected by the proposed alteration shall be considered in assessing compatibility. Signs on the buildings in Conservation Districts are subject to the provisions of Section 1111.7. The foregoing standards do not require, or even encourage, new buildings to imitate the styles of the past. Rather, they require the new to be compatible with the old. The determination of compatibility shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 309. (b) Guidelines. The guidelines in this subsection are to be used in assessing compatibility. (1) Composition and Massing. New construction should maintain the character of the District by relating to the prevailing height, mass, proportions, rhythm and composition of existing historic buildings.

The height and massing of new buildings should not alter the traditional scale of existing buildings, streets and open spaces. On the interior of the block, the existing streetwall height should be maintained. An appropriate streetwall height is established by reference to the prevailing building height on the block and especially that of adjacent buildings. If the adjacent buildings are of a significantly different height than the rest of the buildings on the block, then the prevailing height of buildings on the block should be used as a guide. A setback at the streetwall height can permit additional height above the setback without breaking the continuity of the street wall. On blockfronts where the street wall is less well-defined, greater latitude in height may be allowed. Most existing buildings are built to the property or street line. This pattern should not be broken since it could damage the continuity of building rhythms and the definition of streets. The standard proportions of new buildings should be established by the prevailing streetwall height and width of lots. Lot assembly should be discouraged to maintain the existing lot pattern and building proportions. In cases where lot assembly does occur, it is necessary to break up the facades of new buildings into discrete elements that relate to prevailing building proportions. The use of smaller bays is a way in which to relate the proportions of a new building with those of historic buildings. The design of a new structure should repeat the prevailing pattern of two- and three-part vertical compositions, although low buildings could use a one-part vertical division. A base element is necessary to define the pedestrian environment. Alterations to existing structures should maintain the existing vertical and horizontal divisions, and should respect the original ground story enframement. Cornices and belt courses should not be removed or altered. (2) Scale. The existing scale of the immediate area and the Conservation District should be maintained. This can be accomplished in a variety of ways, including: a consistent use of size and complexity of detailing in regards to surrounding buildings, continuance of existing bay widths, maintenance of an existing streetwall height, and incorporation of a base element (of similar height to existing bases) to maintain the pedestrian environment. Large wall surfaces, which increase a building's scale, should be broken up through the use of detailing and textural variation to reduce the scale. Existing fenestration (windows, entrances) rhythms and proportions which have been established by lot width or bay width should be repeated in new structures. The spacing and size of window openings should follow the sequence set by historic structures. Large glass areas should be broken up by mullions so that the scale of glazed areas is compatible with that of neighboring buildings. Casement and double-hung windows should be used where possible. (3) Materials and Colors. The use of like materials can relate two buildings of obviously different eras and styles. Similarly, the use of materials that appear similar (such as substituting concrete for terra cotta) can link two disparate structures, or harmonize the appearance of a new structure with the architectural character of a conservation district. The preferred surface materials for this district are brick, terra cotta, stone, and concrete (simulated to look like terra cotta or stone). The texture of surfaces can be treated in a manner so as to emphasize the bearing function of the material, as is done in rustication on historic buildings. In addition, in some cases it may be appropriate to leave the surface roughly dressed, emphasizing the utilitarian character of the interior frontages. Traditional light colors should be used in order to blend in with the character of the district. Dissimilar buildings may be made more compatible by using similar or harmonious colors, and, to a lesser extent, by using similar textures. (4) Detailing and Ornamentation. A new building should relate to the surrounding area by picking up elements from surrounding buildings and repeating them or developing them for new purposes. An ornamental detail can be taken from an adjacent building and used in a new building to relate the latter to the surrounding area. Alternately, similarly shaped forms can be used without directly copying historical ornament. The new structure should incorporate prevailing cornice lines or belt courses and may use a modern vernacular instead of that of the original model. (Added Ord. 414-85, App. 9/17/85) SEC. 8.

APPENDIX H TO ARTICLE 11 FRONT-CALIFORNIA CONSERVATION DISTRICT SEC. 1. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES. It is hereby found that the area known and described in this Appendix as the Front-California Street area is a Subarea within the C-3 District that possesses concentrations of buildings that together create a Subarea of architectural quality and importance which contributes to the beauty and attractiveness of the City. It is further found that the area meets the standards for designation of a Conservation District as set forth in Section 1103 of Article 11 and that the designation of said area as a Conservation District will be in furtherance of and in conformance with the purposes of Article 11 of the City Planning Code. This Designation is intended to promote the health, safety, prosperity and welfare of the people of the City through the effectuation of the purposes set forth in Section 1101 of Article 11 and the maintenance of the scale and character of the Front-California area by:

(a) The protection and preservation of the basic characteristics and salient architectural details of structures insofar as these characteristics and details are compatible with the Conservation District; (b) Providing scope for continuing vitality of the District through private renewal and architectural creativity, within appropriate controls and standards. It is intended to foster a climate in which the area continues to provide a variety of retail and commercial uses of significant value to the City. (c) Encouragement of the continued intensive use of the District by financial district workers during the noon hours. (Added Ord. 414-85, App. 9/17/85) SEC. 2. DESIGNATION. Pursuant to Section 1103.1 of Article 11, of the City Planning Code (Part II, Chapter II of the San Francisco Municipal Code), the Front-California area is hereby designated as a Conservation District. (Added Ord. 414-85, App. 9/17/85) SEC. 3. LOCATION AND BOUNDARIES. The location and boundaries of the Front-California Conservation District shall be as designated on the Front-California Conservation District Map, the original of which is on file with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors under File No. 223-84-4, which Map is hereby incorporated herein as though fully set forth, and a facsimile of which is reproduced below. (Added Ord. 414-85, App. 9/17/85) SEC. 4. RELATION TO CITY PLANNING CODE. (a) Article 11 of the City Planning Code is the basic law governing preservation of buildings and districts of architectural and environmental importance in the C-3 District of the City and County of San Francisco. This Appendix is subject to and in addition to the provisions thereof. (b) Except as may be specifically provided to the contrary in this Code, nothing in this Appendix shall supersede, impair or modify any City Planning Code provisions applicable to property in the Front-California Conservation District including, but not limited to, regulations controlling uses, height, bulk, coverage, floor area ratio, required open space, off-street parking and signs. (Added Ord. 414-85, App. 9/17/85) SEC. 5. JUSTIFICATION. The characteristics of the Conservation District justifying its designation are as follows: (a) History of the District. Located to the east of the financial district on filled land, this District was outside of the major downtown growth corridors in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The location of the Federal Reserve Bank on Battery Street and the construction of several office buildings (Southern Pacific, Matson) in the 1920's, linked the financial district with port-oriented buildings on lower California and Market Streets. While office uses have been located on California Street since 1906, the area east of Battery Street was not fully integrated into the financial district until 1920, when the street assumed its present character. The development of Front Street proceeded at a slower pace and was not complete until the 1930's. Front Street was redeveloped after the fire, with warehouses and industrial buildings serving the produce district to the north and office support services serving the office core to the west and on California Street. Buildings on Front Street commonly contained stores and offices at the ground level while upper stories were used for stock purposes and general storage. Several offices and printers were also located on the street. (b) Basic Nature of the District. The low height and small scale of this District create a contrast to the rest of the financial district and the adjacent Embarcadero Center. The District still retains its post-fire appearance, as most of the architecturally significant buildings were constructed in the short period from 1907 through 1918. Six of the District's 19 buildings are architecturally significant and six are contributory to the District. Only seven buildings are unrated. The low buildings on Front Street and the narrow lot widths create an open, sunlit streetscape. Because of the character of the District and its proximity to the financial district, a variety of commercial (especially retail) enterprises serve pedestrians from the surrounding financial district. The scale of the California Street buildings is kept low by Halleck Street, which runs parallel to California and limits the lot size on that street. The street also divides Front in half on the west side, enhancing the small scale of that block. (c) Architectural Character. Although the Front Street buildings are lower and of lesser quality than the California Street buildings, similar design elements in the buildings tie them together to form a coherent entity. The buildings on Front Street are generally in the two- to four-story range, while most of the buildings on California Street are in the four- to seven-story range. The buildings' ornament is generally derived from Renaissance sources and the buildings employ similar scale, height, fenestration, texture, and materials. (d) Uniqueness and Location. This district, along with the nearby Commercial-Leidesdorff District, forms one of the last small-scale areas with architecturally significant buildings in the northern section of the financial district. It provides a low-intensity contrast to the dense office core and the Embarcadero Center development. (e) Visual and Functional Unity. The District forms a coherent entity. Outside the boundary, the older buildings become larger and are interspersed with more modern structures. The similar character and scale of the buildings unify the District. (f) Dynamic Continuity. The area has demonstrated economic viability evidenced by its mix of active retail and commercial uses. (g) Benefits to the City and Its Residents. The District provides a variety of retail and commercial uses in small older structures. The area is an architectural resource for its collection of small industrial buildings. The Distri

buildings unify the District. (f) Dynamic Continuity. The area has demonstrated economic viability evidenced by its mix of active retail and commercial uses. (g) Benefits to the City and Its Residents. The District provides a variety of retail and commercial uses in small older structures. The area is an architectural resource for its collection of small industrial buildings. The District still retains the scale and character, if not the actual Victorian buildings, of the pre-fire commercial district. (Added Ord. 414-85, App. 9/17/85) SEC. 6. FEATURES. The exterior architectural features of the Front-California District are as follows: (a) Scale, Form, and Proportion. The buildings in this District are of a variety of heights, ranging from one story to 11 stories. Unlike other districts which have a prevailing streetwall height, this District has a varied streetwall height, allowing sunlight to penetrate to the street most of the day. Lot widths range from 25 feet to 60 feet, lot depths range from 60 feet to 140 feet. (b) Materials, Color, Texture. Facade materials include exposed brick, stucco, metal, and terra cotta panels. Colors include white, grey masonry and terra cotta, red brick, and deep reds and greens. The texture of the buildings varies from smooth stucco to richly textured and ornamented terra cotta panels. (c) Details. Building styles range from utilitarian brick industrial with decorative brickwork to ornate Renaissance Revival buildings. Details include glazed brickwork, arches, decorated spandrels, projecting cornices and belt courses, pilasters, and rustication. (Added Ord. 414-85, App. 9/17/85) SEC. 7. STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES FOR REVIEW OF NEW CONSTRUCTION AND CERTAIN ALTERATIONS. (a) Standards. All construction of new buildings and all major alterations, which are subject to the provisions of Sections 1110, 1111 through 1111.6 and 1113, shall be compatible with the District in general with respect to the building's composition and massing, scale, materials and colors, and detailing and ornamentation, including those features described in Section 6 of this Appendix. Emphasis shall be placed on compatibility with those buildings in the area in which the new or altered building is located. In the case of major alterations, only those building characteristics that are affected by the proposed alteration shall be considered in assessing compatibility. Signs on buildings in Conservation Districts are subject to the provisions of Section 1111.7. The foregoing standards do not require, or even encourage, new buildings to imitate the styles of the past. Rather, they require the new to be compatible with the old. The determination of compatibility shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 309.

(b) Guidelines. The guidelines in this subsection are to be used in assessing compatibility. (1) Composition and Massing. New construction should maintain the character of both Front and California Streets by relating to the prevailing height, mass, proportions, rhythm and composition of historic buildings. The height and massing of new buildings should not alter the traditional scale of existing buildings, streets and open spaces. Since buildings on California Street commonly range from five to eight stories, new buildings should relate to those heights. Similarly, new buildings on Front Street should relate to the existing pattern of buildings under five stories in height. A setback at the predominant streetwall height can permit additional height above the setback without breaking the continuity of the streetwall. Almost all existing buildings are built to the property or street line. This pattern, except in the case of carefully selected open spaces, should not be broken since it could damage the continuity of building rhythms and the definitions of streets. Vertical and horizontal proportions for new buildings should be established by heights of existing streetwall and the width of existing buildings (and lots). Due to the regular rhythm of small structures on Front Street, a new building which is built on a large site should break up its facade into discrete sections that relate to the small building masses. This can be best accomplished through the use of vertical piers and separate entrances for the different sections. However, the slightly larger lots on California Street would allow buildings to have greater horizontal dimensions as well as greater heights. The use of smaller bays is another way in which to relate the proportions of a new building with those of historic buildings. The design of a new structure should also repeat the prevailing pattern of two- and three-part vertical compositions. One-part buildings without base sections do not adequately define the pedestrian streetscape and do not relate well to the historic two- and three-part structures. This division of a building allows flexibility in the design of the ground story while encouraging a uniform treatment of the upper stories. (2) Scale. The existing scale of the Front-California Conservation District is one of its most important assets and should be maintained. This can be accomplished by the consistent use of size and complexity of detailing in relation to surrounding buildings. In addition, the continuance of existing bay widths and the incorporation of a base element (of similar height) help to maintain the pedestrian environment. Especially on Front Street, large wall surfaces, which increase a building's scale, should be broken up through the use of detailing and textural variation to reduce the scale. Existing fenestration (windows, entrances) rhythms and proportions which have been established by lot width or bay width should be repeated in new structures. The spacing and size of window openings should follow the sequence set by historic structures. Most glass areas should be broken up by mullions so that the scale of glazed areas is compatible with that the neighboring buildings. Casement and double-hung windows should be used where possible. (3) Materials and Colors. The use of historic materials or those that appear similar (such as substituting concrete for stone) can link two disparate structures, or harmonize the appearance of a new structure with the architectural character of a Conservation District. The preferred surface materials for this district are brick, stone and concrete (simulated to look like terra cotta or stone). Traditional light colors should be used in order to blend in with the character of the District. Dissimilar buildings may be made more compatible by using similar or harmonious colors, and to a lesser extent, by using similar textures. (4) Detailing and Ornamentation. A new building should relate to the surrounding area by picking up elements from surrounding buildings and repeating them or developing them for new purposes. Since most buildings on Front Street are not extensively detailed, new structures should incorporate prevailing cornice lines or belt courses. On California Street, the historic details of existing buildings can serve as models for detailing in new buildings in order to strengthen their relationship. Alternately, similarly shaped ornament can be used as detailing without directly copying historical ornament. (Added Ord. 414-85, App. 9/17/85) SEC. 8. TDR; ELIGIBILITY OF CATEGORY V BUILDINGS.

APPENDIX I TO ARTICLE 11 KEARNY-BELDEN CONSERVATION DISTRICT SEC. 1. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES. It is hereby found that the area known and described in this Appendix as the Kearny-Belden Street area is a Subarea within the C-3 District that possesses concentrations of buildings that together create a Subarea of architectural quality and importance which contributes to the beauty and attractiveness of the City. It is further found that the area meets the standards for designation of a Conservation District as set forth in Section 1103 of Section 11 and that the designation of said area as a Conservation District will be in furtherance of and in conformance with the purposes of Article 11 of the City Planning Code.

Pursuant to Section 1103.1 of Article 11 of the City Planning Code (Part II, Chapter XI of the San Francisco Municipal Code), the Kearny-Belden area is hereby designated as a Conservation District. (Added Ord. 414-85, App. 9/17/85) SEC. 3. LOCATION AND BOUNDARIES. The location and boundaries of the Kearny-Belden Conservation District shall be as designated on the Kearny-Belden Conservation District Map, the original of which is on file with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors under File No. 223-84-4, which Map is hereby incorporated herein as though fully set forth, and a facsimile of which is reproduced herein below. (Added Ord. 414-85, App. 9/17/85) SEC. 4. RELATION TO CITY PLANNING CODE. (a) Article 11 of the City Planning Code is the basic law governing preservation of buildings and districts of architectural importance in the C-3 District of the City and County of San Francisco. This Appendix is subject to and in addition to the provisions thereof. (b) Except as may be specifically provided to the contrary in this Code, nothing in this Appendix shall supersede, impair or modify any City Planning provisions applicable to property in the Kearny-Belden Conservation District, including, but not limited to, regulations controlling uses, height, bulk, coverage, floor area ratio, required open space, off-street parking, and signs. (Added Ord. 414-85, App. 9/17/85) SEC. 5. JUSTIFICATION. The characteristics of the Conservation District justifying its designation are as follows: (a) History of the District. In the nineteenth century, private alleys were cut to permit access to the interiors of blocks, allowing more intensive development than would otherwise have been possible. In this immediate area, the blocks were typically cut by one or more alleys. Some of these, like Belden Street and St. George Alley, still exist. Others, such as Lick Alley and Summer Alley, have been incorporated into new developments. Thus, the character of this District was established when Belden Street was cut through between Pine and Bush Streets. Belden Street is one of the best remaining examples of the development pattern of the pre-fire era. Buildings along Kearny, Bush and Pine Streets were completed several years before the small structures on the interior portion of Belden Alley. Since the District was only a few blocks south of Portsmouth Square, Kearny Street had a large number of businesses serving both nearby residents as well as mercantile and port activities. As the City grew in the 1870's, Kearny Street became the most fashionable retail street in the City. Yet, by the turn of the century, the movement of retail stores to Market Street and the Union Square/Grant Avenue area eclipsed Kearny Street's prominence. After the fire of 1906, Kearny Street found itself located between the financial and retail districts. By 1931, Kearny Street was a low-rent area of small stores and hotels. Some support uses for nearby Montgomery Street found Kearny a convenient location and printers, sign painters and some offices located on the street. While Belden Street was originally a service alley, restaurants located on the small street during the 1920's and 1930's. (b) Basic Nature of the District. The District consists of the east side of the 300 block of Kearny Street and the buildings which front on Belden Street, which runs parallel to Kearny. The depth of the lots is from 40 to 60 feet, which has served as an effective limit on the height and scale of the buildings. The District has become the location for a number of small, moderately priced restaurants and the Belden Street right-of-way is closed down during the lunch hours to create a pedestrian mall which is heavily used. During this time, restaurants move tables out into the street for open-air dining. In addition, street trees have been planted and benches installed. (c) Architectural Character. The District has only a few individual buildings of outstanding quality. Its unique quality is based on its character, rather than its examples of outstanding architecture. The District is also important as an example of historic building and development patterns. The District is expressive of the different requirements of the street frontages. The character of the District is maintained by the small-scale, red brick structures on Belden Street, often utilitarian in character, with minimal ornament. The facades fronting on Kearny Street are more elaborate, with ornament derived from Renaissance sources. (d) Uniqueness and Location. The District is almost entirely intact, except for one unsympathetically remodeled building. Alterations to the lower stories have generally been compatible with the District, and in recent years commercial alterations have been effected more compatible with the character of the District. The area is located on the edges of the Financial and Retail Districts, and at the foot of Nob Hill eastern slope. (e) Visual and Functional Unity. The character of the area is determined by the use of a consistent scale, fenestration, materials, colors, and style.

the District, and in recent years commercial alterations have been effected more compatible with the character of the District. The area is located on the edges of the Financial and Retail Districts, and at the foot of Nob Hill eastern slope. (e) Visual and Functional Unity. The character of the area is determined by the use of a consistent scale, fenestration, materials, colors, and style. (f) Dynamic Continuity. The District supplies a variety of services to the working population of the downtown area. The shops and restaurants are active and thriving. (g) Benefits to the City and Its Residents. The district provides a variety of retail and commercial uses, including moderately priced restaurants and an attractive setting in which to enjoy lunch. The restaurants generally locate in small, older structures. The area serves as a respite from the dense financial district to the east. (Added Ord. 414-85, App. 9/17/85) SEC. 6. FEATURES. The exterior architectural features of the Kearny-Belden District are as follows: (a) Massing and Composition. The Kearny Street facades are elaborate designs, while the Belden Street facades are utilitarian in character. The treatment of the facades reflects the differing character of the streets. Kearny Street is a major pedestrian and vehicular corridor, and a prime shopping street. For the most part, the Kearny Street facades are two- or three-part vertical compositions consisting either of a base and a shaft, or a base, a shaft and a capital. Belden Street is a narrow alley, originally created to allow access to the interior of the block. The facades on Belden Street are largely unornamented, perhaps with a corbelled cornice or a decorative tile roof. The compositions are simple one-part structures from one to four stories high. There are a few small stucco buildings, probably built as warehouses. These designs are successful in maintaining the street enclosure, largely because the narrow widths of the streets do not demand a high building or one with multiple parts. In addition, the Kearny Street facades are often divided into bays expressing the structure. This was accomplished through fenestration, structural articulation or other detailing which serves to break the facade into discrete segments. Both the scale and height of the buildings in the District are extremely small, a result of the lot and street patterns. The lot depth is generally under 60 feet, and half the lots have frontages on Kearny and Belden Streets. As a consequence of the limited size of lots, most of the buildings are limited to four stories or less. A number of the buildings are only one story high. Without exception, the buildings in the Kearny-Belden Conservation District are built to the front property line and occupy the entire site. (b) Scale. The buildings are of small scale, created by the buildings' elaborate detailing and low height. A major influence on scale is the degree to which the total facade plane is broken into smaller parts which relate to human scale. Window and door openings are relatively small, creating large wall areas, which are frequently heavily ornamented. The bay width is generally from 15 feet to 20 feet. Heights generally range from one to four stories on lots 20 feet to 30 feet wide, although a few taller and wider buildings exist. As noted above, the wider frontages are often broken up by articulation of the facade, making the buildings appear narrower. On the Kearny Street facades, the base is generally delineated from the rest of the

building, giving the district an intimate scale at the street. (c) Materials and Colors. Buildings are either clad in masonry over a supporting structure, or are constructed of masonry with load-bearing walls. The cladding materials include brick, terra cotta, and stucco. Materials have rough surface treatments, especially those located on the alleys, reflecting the building's utilitarian nature. Wood, metal, and metal panels are not commonly used facade materials in the District, although painted wood and metal are sometimes used for window sash and ornament. The materials are generally colored of light or medium earth tones, including cream, buff, yellow and red. Individual buildings generally use a few different tones of one color, highlighting the ornament. Dark or intense colors are not commonly used. The Belden Street facades are simply treated wall surfaces, with little expression of weight or mass from wall articulation. The small unit of the brick creates a textured facade, and reduces the scale of the undifferentiated facades. (d) Detailing and Ornamentation. The Kearny Street frontages are not constructed in a single style, but with ornament drawn from a variety of historical, primarily Classical, sources. Popular details include arches, columns, pilasters, projecting bracketed cornices, multiple belt-courses, elaborate lintels, and pediments. Details were used to relate buildings to their neighbors by repeating and varying the ornament used in the surrounding structures. The Belden Street frontages are unadorned, except for slight corbelled cornices at the upper levels or false tile roofs on the stucco buildings. (Added Ord. 414-85, App. 9/17/85) SEC. 7. STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES FOR REVIEW OF NEW CONSTRUCTION AND CERTAIN ALTERATIONS. (a) Standards. All construction of new buildings and all major alterations, which are subject to the provisions of Sections 1110, 1111 through 1111.6 and 1113, shall be compatible with the District in general with respect to the building's composition and massing, scale, materials and colors, and detailing and ornamentation, including those features described in Section 6 of this Appendix. Emphasis shall be placed on compatibility with those buildings in the area in which the new or altered building is located. In the case of major alterations, only those building characteristics that are affected by the proposed alteration shall be considered in assessing compatibility. Signs on buildings in Conservation Districts are subject to the provisions of Section 1111.7. The foregoing standards do not require, or even encourage, new buildings to imitate the styles of the past. Rather, they require the new to be compatible with the old. The determination of compatibility shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 309. (b) Guidelines. The guidelines in this subsection are to be used in assessing compatibility. (1) Composition and Massing. New construction should maintain the character of the District by relating to the prevailing height, mass, proportions, rhythm and composition of existing historic buildings. The height and massing of new buildings should not alter the traditional scale of existing buildings, streets and open spaces. On the Kearny Street, the existing streetwall height should be maintained. An appropriate streetwall height is established by reference to the prevailing height of the buildings on the block and especially that of adjacent buildings. If the adjacent buildings are of a significantly different height than the rest of the buildings on the block, then the prevailing height of buildings on the block should be used as a guide. A setback at the streetwall height can permit additional height above the setback without breaking the continuity of the street wall. On Belden Street, where the street wall is less well defined, greater latitude in height may be allowed. The height limit of 50 feet should be used as a guide to the appropriate height. Existing buildings are built to the property or street line. This pattern should not be broken since it could damage the continuity of building rhythms and the definition of streets. The standard proportions for new buildings should be established by the prevailing streetwall height and width of lots. Maintenance of the existing lot pattern and building proportions should be encouraged. In cases where lot assembly does occur, the facades of new buildings should be broken into discrete elements that relate to prevailing building proportions. The use of smaller bays can be used to relate the proportions of a new building with those of historic buildings. The design of the new structure should reflect the characteristics of the blockfront. Kearny Street facades should repeat the prevailing pattern of two- and three-part vertical compositions, although low buildings could use a one-part vertical division. A base element is necessary to define the pedestrian environment. Belden Street facades should be simply treated, with a cornice or other definition at the roof level. (2) Scale. The existing scale of the immediate area and the Conservation District should be maintained. This can be accomplished in a variety of ways, including a consistent use of size and complexity of detailing with regard to surrounding buildings, continuance of existing bay widths, maintenance of an existing streetwall height, and incorporation of a base element (of similar height) to maintain the pedestrian environment. Large wall surfaces, which increase a building's scale, should be broken up through the use of detailing and textural variation to reduce the scale. Existing fenestration (windows, entrances) rhythms and proportions which have been established by lot width or bay width should be repeated in new structures. The spacing and size of window openings should follow the sequence set by historic struc

wall surfaces, which increase a building's scale, should be broken up through the use of detailing and textural variation to reduce the scale. Existing fenestration (windows, entrances) rhythms and proportions which have been established by lot width or bay width should be repeated in new structures. The spacing and size of window openings should follow the sequence set by historic structures. Large glass areas should be broken up by mullions so that the scale of glazed areas is compatible with that of neighboring buildings. Casement and double-hung windows should be used where possible. (3) Materials and Colors. The use of like materials can relate two buildings of obviously different eras and styles. Similarly, the use of materials that appear similar (such as substituting concrete for terra cotta) can link two disparate structures, or harmonize the appearance of a new structure with the architectural character of a Conservation District. The preferred surface materials for this District are brick, or concrete (simulated to look like terra cotta or stucco). The texture of surfaces can be treated in a manner so as to emphasize the bearing function of the material, as is done in rustication on historic buildings. In addition, in some cases it may be appropriate to leave the surface roughly dressed, emphasizing the utilitarian character of the interior frontages. Traditional light colors should be used in order to blend in with the character of the Kearny Street facades. Dissimilar buildings may be made more compatible by using similar or harmonious colors, and to a lesser extent, by using similar textures. Belden Street facades should use red brick and stucco-like materials. (4) Detailing and Ornamentation. A new building should relate to the surrounding area by picking up elements from surrounding buildings and repeating them or developing them for new purposes. An ornamental detail can be taken from an adjacent building and used in a new building to relate the latter to the surrounding area. Alternately, similarly shaped forms can be used without directly copying historical ornament. The new structure should incorporate prevailing cornice lines or belt courses and may use a modern vernacular instead of that of the original model. (Added Ord. 414-85, App. 9/17/85) SEC. 8.

APPENDIX J TO ARTICLE 11 PINE-SANSOME CONSERVATION DISTRICT SEC. 1. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES. It is hereby found that the area known and described in this Appendix as the "Pine-Sansome Street area" is a Subarea within the C-3 District that possesses concentrations of buildings that together create a Subarea of architectural quality and importance which contributes to the beauty and attractiveness of the City. It is further found that the area meets the standards for designation of a Conservation District as set forth in Section 1103 of Article 11 and that the designation of said area as a Conservation District will be in furtherance of and in conformance with the purposes of Article 11 of the City Planning Code. This designation is intended to promote the health, safety, prosperity and welfare of the people of the City through the effectuation of the purposes set forth in Section 1101 of Article 11 and the maintenance of the scale and character of the Pine-Sansome area by: (a) The protection and preservation of the basic characteristics and salient architectural details of structures insofar as these characteristics and details are compatible with the Conservation District; (b) Providing scope for the continuing vitality of the District through private renewal and architectural creativity, within appropriate controls and standards; (c) Encouragement of the continued intensive use of the District for financial and business office activities. (Added Ord. 414-85, App. 9/17/85) SEC. 2. DESIGNATION. Pursuant to Section 1103.1 of Article 11, of the City Planning Code (Part II, Chapter XI of the San Francisco Municipal Code), the Pine-Sansome area is hereby designated as a Conservation District. (Added Ord. 414-85, App. 9/17/85) SEC. 3. LOCATION AND BOUNDARIES. The location and boundaries of the Pine-Sansome Conservation District shall be as designated on the Pine-Sansome Conservation District Map, the original of which is on file with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors under File No. 223-84-4, which Map is hereby incorporated herein as though fully set forth, and a facsimile of which is reproduced hereinbelow. (Added Ord. 414-85, App. 9/17/85) SEC. 4. RELATION TO CITY PLANNING CODE. (a) Article 11 of the City Planning Code is the basic law governing preservation of buildings and districts of architectural importance in the C-3 District of the City and County of San Francisco. This Appendix is subject to and in addition to the provisions thereof. (b) Except as may be specifically provided to the contrary in this Code, nothing in this Appendix shall supercede, impair or modify any City Planning Code provisions applicable to property in the Pine-Sansome Conservation District, including, but not limited to, regulations controlling uses, height, bulk, coverage, floor area ratio, required open space, off-street parking and signs. (Added Ord. 414-85, App. 9/17/85) SEC. 5. JUSTIFICATION. The characteristics of the Conservation District justifying its designation are as follows: (a) History of the District. The flat land-filled area east of Montgomery Street became an early center of household furnishings on Pine Street and hotels on Sansome Street. The block of Leidesdorff Street near Pine was once known as Pauper's Alley. By 1875, financial offices from nearby Montgomery Street had located in the area. A stock exchange subdistrict, established in the late 1870's, included the Stock and Exchange Board, the Pacific Exchange and the California Stock Exchange. This District remained largely intact until the Earthquake and Fire of 1906 when two of the exchanges located elsewhere. In the 1920's, as banks moved their offices north along Montgomery Street, some banks and more insurance companies

located on Pine Street near Sansome. When the U.S. Subtreasury Building added its 12-story office extension in the late 1920's, the district largely assumed its present architectural character. The replacement of the Subtreasury by the Pacific Coast Stock Exchange in the 1930's, one of the most important financial institutions in the Western United States, was an important factor in solidifying the District's status as a financial center. Ever since then the area has played an important role in the financial life of the City. (b) Basic Nature of the District. The distinguishing characteristic of the District is the relationship between the street and alley network and the series of distinguished office and financial buildings from the early part of the twentieth century. Buildings are defined and set off from each other by an intricate network of public and private alleys. Although most buildings are built to the property lines, in several cases alleys divide their facades. The network of alleys creates open spaces between buildings which distinguishes the District from other parts of the downtown. The rhythm of buildings and street spaces establishes a human scale in the District. Another definitive feature is the Pacific Coast Stock Exchange, set back from the street upon a base of broad steps. Since the building's forecourt provides an intimate open space with adequate sunshine, it is a popular daytime gathering place. (c) Architectural Character. The buildings in the District are of high design quality, executed in a variety of ornamental styles. Examples of Classical Moderne, Skyscraper Gothic, Gothic, Georgian Revival, as well as the more familiar buildings derived from Renaissance sources, create a rich mix of twentieth century styles. (d) Uniqueness and Location. Near the western edge of the financial district, the District is a large intact example of early twentieth century office architecture in the financial district. Aside from other assemblages of historic office buildings on California and Montgomery Streets, the Pine Sansome district is one of the only remaining areas where an entire pre-World War II streetscape is intact. (e) Visual and Functional Unity. The area has a coherent character created by similar small to moderate scale buildings executed in like materials and colors, and situated on interconnected alleys and small lots. The series of buildings on the south side of Pine Street is constructed out of grey granite, or terra cotta fired to resemble granite. (f) Dynamic Continuity. The District has been and continues to be an active part of the financial district. It contains a variety of uses, including offices, banks, services, retail establishments and small restaurants. (g) Benefits to the City and its Residents. The District provides a variety of benefits to the City and its residents. A range of commercial services are located within the District, including the City's stock exchange, and a number of examples of pre-1930 office development. (Added Ord. 414-85, App. 9/17/85) SEC. 6. FEATURES. The exterior architectural features of the Pine-Sansome Conservation District are as follows: (a) Massing and Composition. For the most part, the buildings are two- or three-part vertical compositions. In more elaborate designs transitional stories create a stacked composition, but the design effect is similar. In addition, buildings are often divided through fenestration or other detailing into bays to express their internal structure. A common compositional device in the District is the emphasis placed upon the central bays. The massing of the structures is usually a simple vertically oriented rectangle with a ratio of width to height generally from 1:2 to 1:6, an important characteristic of the District. The building heights range from 45 feet to 200 feet. Building frontages are relatively consistent, generally ranging from 40 feet to 75 feet. In addition, continuous streetwall heights are a characteristic of the west side of Pine Street. The heights of the buildings step down towards the west. With the exception of the Pacific Coast Stock Exchange, the buildings in the Pine- Sansome Conservation District are built to the front property line and occupy the entire site. (b) Scale. The buildings are of small to moderate scale with bay widths generally from 20 feet to 30 feet. Wider frontages are often broken up by articulation of the facade, making the buildings appear narrower. The street frontages are broken up by the aforementioned alleys, further limiting the scale of the District. The base is generally delineated from the rest of the building, giving the District an intimate scale at the street. (c) Materials and Colors. Buildings are constructed of masonry or terra cotta, or various shades of brick. The buildings are light-colored grays or cream colors, with some red brick buildings. Through the use of rich detailing, often executed in deep relief, textural facades are emphasized. (d) Detail and Ornamentation. The buildings in the District are richly detailed in a wide variety of styles for such a small area. Ornamental types include rich sculptural groups in the Moderne style, bas reliefs, rusticated bases, colonades, pointed and round headed arches, bracketed cornices, belt courses, and decorative keystones. (Added Ord. 414-85, App. 9/17/85) SEC. 7. STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES FOR REVIEW OF NEW CONSTRUCTION AND CERTAIN ALTERATIONS. (a) Standards. Within Conservation Districts, all construction of new buildings and all major alterations, which are subject to the provisions of Sections 1110, 1111 through 1111.6 and 1113, shall be compatible with the District in general with respect to the building's composition and massing, scale, materials and colors, and detailing and ornamentation, including those features described in Section 6 of this Appendix. Emphasis shall be placed on compatibility with those

ngs and all major alterations, which are subject to the provisions of Sections 1110, 1111 through 1111.6 and 1113, shall be compatible with the District in general with respect to the building's composition and massing, scale, materials and colors, and detailing and ornamentation, including those features described in Section 6 of this Appendix. Emphasis shall be placed on compatibility with those buildings in the area in which the new or altered building is located. In the case of major alterations, only those building characteristics that are affected by the proposed alteration shall be considered in assessing compatibility. Signs on buildings in Conservation Districts are subject to the provisions of Section 1111.7. The foregoing standards do not require, or even encourage, new buildings to imitate the styles of the past. Rather, they require the new to be compatible with the old. The determination of compatibility shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 309. (b) Guidelines. The guidelines in this Subsection are to be used in assessing compatibility. (1) Composition and Massing. New construction should maintain the character of the District by relating to the prevailing height, mass, proportions, rhythm and composition of existing historic buildings. The height and massing of new buildings should not alter the traditional scale of existing buildings, streets and open spaces. Existing streetwall heights should be maintained. An appropriate streetwall height is established by reference to the prevailing building height on the block and especially to that of adjacent buildings. If the adjacent buildings are of a significantly different height than the rest of the buildings on the block, then the prevailing height of buildings on the block should be used as a guide. A setback at the streetwall height can permit additional height above the setback without breaking the continuity of the streetwall. Most existing buildings are built to the street or alley line. This pattern should not be broken since it could damage the continuity of building rhythms and the definition of streets. The standard proportions for new buildings should be established by the prevailing streetwall height and width of lots. Lot assembly should be discouraged to maintain the existing lot pattern. In cases where lots are combined, facades of new buildings should be broken into discrete elements that relate to prevailing building proportions. The use of smaller bays can be used to relate the proportions of a new building with those of historic buildings. The design of a new structure should repeat the prevailing pattern of two- and three-part vertical compositions. (2) Scale. A major influence on scale is the degree to which the total facade plane is broken into smaller parts which relate to human scale. The existing scale of the immediate area and the Conservation District should be maintained by a consistent use of size and complexity of detailing with regard to surrounding buildings, and the continuance of existing bay widths. Base elements (of similar height to existing bases) should be used to maintain a sense of human scale on streets and sidewalks. Large wall surfaces, which increase a building's scale, should be broken up through the use of detailing and textural variation to reduce the scale. Existing fenestration (windows, entrances) rhythms and proportions which have been established by lot width or bay width should be repeated in new structures. The spacing and size of window openings should follow the sequence set by existing structures. Large glass areas should be broken up by mullions so that the scale of glazed areas is compatible with that of neighboring buildings. (3) Materials and Colors. The use of like materials can relate two buildings of obviously different eras and styles. The use of materials that appear similar (such as substituting concrete for terra cotta) can link two disparate structures, or harmonize the appearance of a new structure with the architectural character of a Conservation District. The preferred surface materials for this District are brick, terra cotta, stone, and concrete (simulated to look like terra cotta or stone). New buildings should use more than one facade material to repeat the pattern prevalent in existing structures. Since the common colors of the District are those of red brick and grey stone, these colors as well as earth tones should be used in new construction. (4) Detailing and Ornamentation. A new building should relate to the surrounding area by picking up elements from surrounding buildings and repeating them or developing them for new purposes. Ornamental details, such as columns, lintels and arches, can be taken from an adjacent building and used in a new building to relate the latter to the surrounding area. Similarly shaped forms can be used without directly copying historical ornament. The new structure should incorporate prevailing cornice lines, belt courses or rusticated bases and may use

a modern vernacular instead of that of the original model. (Added Ord. 414-85, App. 9/17/85) SEC. 8. TDR; ELIGIBILITY OF CATEGORY V BUILDINGS. Category V Buildings in the Pine-Sansome District are eligible for the transfer of TDR as provided in Section 1109(c). (Added Ord. 414-85, App. 9/17/85)

SEC. 4. RELATION TO CITY PLANNING CODE. (a) Article 11 of the City Planning Code is the basic law governing preservation of buildings and districts of architectural importance in the C-3 District of the City and County of San Francisco. This Appendix is subject to and in addition to the provisions thereof. (b) Except as may be specifically provided to the contrary in this Code, nothing in this Appendix shall supersede, impair or modify any City Planning Code provisions applicable to property in the Mint-Mission Conservation District, including, but not limited to, regulations controlling uses, height, bulk, coverage, floor area ratio, required open space, off-street parking, and signs. (Added by Ord. 257-18, File No. 180724, App. 11/2/2018, Eff. 12/3/2018) SEC. 5. JUSTIFICATION. The characteristics of the Conservation District justifying its designation are as follows: (a) History of the District. The Mint-Mission Conservation District is representative of the post-1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire reconstruction period and the evolution of land use patterns at the northern edge of the South of Market neighborhood dating to the mid-nineteenth century. The District retains a mix of residential hotels, small scale commercial buildings, warehouses and manufacturing facilities reflective of the area’s role as the center of industrial production in San Francisco and the major supplier of mining equipment, heavy machinery and other goods to the western states. Residential hotels provided housing for the largely single men employed by the nearby factories and manufacturing operations and in seasonal or temporary positions along the waterfront. This land use pattern was replicated during the reconstruction of South of Market following the 1906 earthquake and fire. The District encompasses a cohesive concentration of reinforced concrete and brick masonry buildings constructed between 1906 and 1930. The District is particularly notable as it is a survivor of the extensive redevelopment of SoMa in the late twentieth century during which much of the building stock from the period when the neighborhood served as the city’s industrial and manufacturing center was razed. (b) Basic Nature of the District. The District is characterized by small- to mid-scale industrial, residential, and commercial buildings ranging in height from one to ten stories, with the predominate height between two and five stories. Most buildings in the District are constructed on through-lots with visible rear elevations. The District includes several warehouses and industrial lofts, three residential hotels with commercial ground floors, and a former bank. Twenty-two properties are located in the District, 19 of which are Category I-IV buildings. (c) Architectural Character. The buildings are primarily constructed of reinforced concrete and brick masonry and are largely industrial in style and feature Classical Revival detailing typical of early 20th century commercial architecture in San Francisco. Ornament on residential and mixed-use buildings consists of belt courses, arches, moldings and drip pendants, applied cast shields or swag, and corniced rooflines often featuring brackets, modillions, and dentil moldings. The District’s buildings are largely clad in smooth finish stucco or brick, with a few structures clad with rusticated stucco, terra cotta, and concrete. (d) Uniqueness and Location. The District is comprised of one of the few intact concentrations of residential hotels, small-scale commercial buildings, warehouses and manufacturing facilities remaining in the South of Market neighborhood. The District is reflective of the land use patterns developed in SoMa in the late nineteenth century and continued following the 1906 earthquake and fire. Twenty-two buildings are located in the District. Five of the buildings located within the District were constructed between 1906-1907, one of which is a partial survivor of the 1906 earthquake and fire. The District is unique in that most of its buildings are constructed on through-lots with visible rear elevations. The District is adjacent to the Kearny-Market-Mason-Sutter Conservation District and borders the 6th Street Lodginghouse Historic District. The Old Mint, a National Historic Landmark, is located across from the eastern border and pre-dates the period of significance of the District. The District is particularly noteworthy as it survived the mid-twentieth century redevelopment of SoMa during which much of the area’s building stock dating to the period when the neighborhood served as the city’s manufacturing center was razed. (e) Visual and Functional Unity. The District is a cohesive mix of small- to mid-scale buildings with common architectural character and vocabulary. (f) Dynamic Continuity. The District is located at the intersection of the major large-scale retail and commercial function of Market Street and the mix of small-business storefronts, residential hotels and industrial buildings converted to office and residential use that characterize the South of Market neighborhood. (g) Benefits to the City and its Residents. As the anchor to the district, the Old Mint is surrounded by the mix of residential hotels, industrial, manufacturing and warehouse structures found in the District. Mint-Mission is unique to San Francisco as it is one of the few remaining intact clusters of buildings that reflect South of Market’s nineteenth-century function as the city’s industrial and manufacturing center.

The exterior architectural features of the Mint-Mission Conservation District are as follows: (a) Massing and Composition. Buildings in the District are rectangular in plan, with the exception of two L-shaped structures. Multi-story buildings feature multiple bays and two- or three-part vertical compositions consisting of

File No. 180724, App. 11/2/2018, Eff. 12/3/2018) SEC. 6. FEATURES. The exterior architectural features of the Mint-Mission Conservation District are as follows: (a) Massing and Composition. Buildings in the District are rectangular in plan, with the exception of two L-shaped structures. Multi-story buildings feature multiple bays and two- or three-part vertical compositions consisting of a base and shaft or a base, shaft and capital. The majority of the buildings within the District occupy the entirety of their lots and are built to the front property line. One and two story buildings largely feature flat roofs with simple cornices. Projecting cornices with modillions, scrolled brackets, shield motifs, egg and dart molding, and decorative low-relief panels are found on several of the District’s multi-story buildings. (b) Scale. The buildings are small- to medium-scale with heights ranging from one to ten stories, with the predominate height between two and five stories. The majority of the buildings are built on the entirety of their lots and are primarily 1500-9000 square feet in size, with the exception of three buildings that are approximately 12,000 square feet. (c) Materials and Colors. Buildings in the District are primarily clad in terra cotta, smooth and polychrome brick, stone tiles and smooth or rusticated stucco or concrete. Masonry is the predominate framing, but two buildings located in the district are steel frame. One is a brick masonry structure and the other is reinforced concrete. Ornamentation materials are largely stucco, brick, terra cotta tile, and wood. Wood is commonly used for window framing, millwork and ornamentation. Materials and paint are generally light colors and light to medium earth tones. (d) Detailing and Ornamentation. Ornament on the District’s residential and mixed-use buildings consists of belt courses, decorative millwork, brick corbelling, and projecting bracketed cornices with dentil molding, applied cast shields and molding. Industrial buildings commonly feature simple cornices, flat facades with little ornament, and punched window openings. These shared details, along with the common height, scale, and materials found in the district create a cohesive grouping of buildings.

(a) All construction of new buildings and all major alterations, which are subject to the provisions of Sections 1110, 1111 through 1111.6, and 1113, shall be compatible with the District in general with respect to the building’s composition and massing, scale, materials and colors, and detailing and ornamentation, including those features described in Section 6 of this Appendix. Emphasis shall be placed on compatibility with those buildings in the area in which the new or altered building is located. In the case of major alterations, only those building characteristics that are affected by the proposed alteration shall be considered in assessing compatibility. Signs on buildings in conservation districts are subject to the provisions of Section 1111.7. The foregoing standards do not require, or even encourage, new buildings to imitate the styles of the past. Rather, they require the new to be compatible with the old. The determination of compatibility shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 309. (b) The guidelines in this Subsection are to be used in assessing compatibility. (1) Composition and Massing. New construction should maintain the district’s essential character by relating to the prevailing height, mass, proportions, rhythm and composition of existing Significant and Contributory Buildings. The height and massing of new buildings should not alter the traditional scale of existing buildings, streets and open spaces. In addition to the consideration of sunlight access for the street, an appropriate streetwall height is established by reference to the prevailing height of the buildings on the block and especially that of adjacent buildings. If the adjacent buildings are of a significantly different height than the rest of the buildings on the block, then the prevailing height of buildings on the block should be used as a guide. A setback at the streetwall height can permit additional height above the setback without breaking the continuity of the street wall. Most existing buildings are built to the property or street line. This pattern, except in the case of carefully selected open spaces, should not be broken since it could damage the continuity of building rhythms and the definitions of streets. The standard proportions of new buildings should be established by the prevailing streetwall height and width of lots. To ensure that an established set of proportions is maintained, it is necessary to break up the facades of new buildings into smaller sections that relate to those existing proportions.

The design of a new structure should repeat the common pattern of two and three part vertical compositions. A base element is necessary to define the pedestrian environment. This division of a building allows flexibility in the design of the ground story while encouraging uniformity of the upper stories. (2) Scale. A major influence on scale is the degree to which the total facade plane is broken into smaller parts (e.g., by detailing, fenestration, and bay widths) which relate to human scale. The existing scale of small- to medium-sized buildings found in the District should be maintained. This can be accomplished in a variety of ways, including a consistent use of size and complexity of detailing in regards to surrounding buildings, continuance of existing bay widths, maintenance of an existing streetwall height, and incorporation of a base element (of similar height) to maintain the pedestrian environment. Large wall surfaces, which increase a building’s scale, should be broken up through the use of detailing and textural variation. Existing fenestration (windows and entrances) rhythms and proportions which have been established by lot width or bay width should be repeated in new structures. The spacing and size of window openings should follow the sequence set by Significant and Contributory structures. Large glass areas should be broken up by mullions so that the scale of glazed areas is compatible with that of neighboring buildings. Casement and double-hung windows should be used where possible. (3) Materials and Colors. The use of like materials can relate two buildings of obviously different eras and styles. Similarly, the use of materials that appear similar (such as substituting concrete for stone) can link two disparate structures, or harmonize the appearance of a new structure with the architectural character of a conservation district. The preferred surface materials for this District are brick, stone, and concrete simulated to look like terra cotta or stone. The texture of surfaces can be treated in a manner so as to emphasize the bearing function of the material, as is done in rustication on historic buildings. Traditional light colors and earth tones should be used in order to blend in with the character of the district. Dissimilar buildings may be made more compatible by using similar or harmonious colors, and to a lesser extent, by using similar textures. (4) Detailing and Ornamentation. A new building should relate to the surrounding area by picking up elements from surrounding buildings and repeating them or developing them for new purposes. Detailing of a similar shape and placement can be used without directly copying historical ornament.
