SEC. 1. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES. The Board of Supervisors hereby finds that the area known and described in this ordinance as the Clyde and Crooks Warehouse District contains twelve structures that have 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. 256-18, File No. 180723, App. 11/2/2018, Eff. 12/3/2018) SEC. 2. DESIGNATION. Pursuant to Section 1004 of the Planning Code, the Clyde and Crooks Warehouse District is hereby designated as an Article 10 Historic District, this designation having been duly approved by Resolution No. 955 of the Historic Preservation Commission and Resolution No. 20203 of the Planning Commission, which Resolutions are on file with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors under File No. 180723 and which Resolutions are incorporated herein and made part hereof as though fully set forth. (Added by Ord. 256-18, File No. 180723, App. 11/2/2018, Eff. 12/3/2018) SEC. 3. LOCATION AND BOUNDARIES.

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 buildings are deemed Contributory to the Historic District: APN From St. # To St. # Street Name Date Built APN From St. # To St. # Street Name Date Built 3787 005 630 630 3rd St 1924 3787 048 415 415 Brannan 1923 3787 033 425 425 Brannan 1924 3787 151 435 435 Brannan 1910 3787 017 18 28 Clyde 1907 3787 021 36 36 Clyde 1923 3787 022 25 35 Lusk 1917 3787 019 45 45 Lusk 1922 3787 036 322 326 Ritch 1906 3787 040 330 330 Ritch 1920 3757 018 228 242 Townsend 1909 3787 013 224 224 Townsend 1935

Noncontributory. This category identifies buildings which postdate the Historic District’s period of significance and/or no longer retain sufficient integrity to convey significance. 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 outlined in this appendix and the applicable standards for review pursuant to Article 10 of the Planning Code. The following buildings shall be deemed to be Noncontributory within the Historic District: APN From St. # To St. # Street Name Year Built APN From St. # To St. # Street Name Year Built 3787 014 2 2 Clyde 1935 3787 015 10 10 Clyde N/A 3787 016 16 16 Clyde N/A

(Added by Ord. 256-18, File No. 180723, App. 11/2/2018, Eff. 12/3/2018) SEC. 7. CHARACTER-DEFINING FEATURES/FEATURES OF THE DISTRICT AND EXISTING BUILDINGS. 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.

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.

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.
