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. (Added by Ord. 324-91, App. 9/4/91) SEC. 6. FEATURES OF EXISTING BUILDINGS.
- Overall Form and Continuity.The massing of the existing buildings relates to the topographical contour of the site, and is compatible with the adjacent area.
- Scale and Proportion.Buildings in the District relate to the height and setback of the structures immediately adjacent and in the general area, contained within an envelope that slopes upward or downward with the slope of the properties.
- Fenestration.Existing fenestration is predominantly double-hung wooden sash and is proportionate and in scale with 19th century stylistic patterns within the District.
- Materials.Horizontal rustic wood siding is the traditional cladding material in the District.
- Detail.Detailing found in the district usually follows simple, straightforward Italianate or Stick Style forms. (Added by Ord. 324-91, App. 9/4/91) SEC. 7.

SIGNIFICANCE OF INDIVIDUAL BUILDINGS TO THE HISTORIC DISTRICT. The history of each parcel within the Historic District is documented on survey worksheets (Appendix A to the Bush Street - Cottage Row Historic District Case Report No. 90.288L). This classification of buildings in the Historic District is delineated in the Case Report No. 90.288L. Each building is designated as follows: (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. All buildings identified within this Historic District are Contributory to the Historic District. (2) Noncontributory. This category identifies buildings or vacant lots which are outside or are not relevant to the Historic District's period of significance or are so significantly altered that they have lost their historic integrity. Construction of new buildings on a demolished or vacant sites and additions to or major alteration of Noncontributory buildings should be compatible with the character of the Historic District. Vacant parcels, including the City-owned right-of-way known as Cottage Row (Lot 46) and the City-owned Mini Park (Lot 12), are both rated Noncontributory. (Added by Ord. 324-91, App. 9/4/91)

The location and boundaries of the Dogpatch Historic District are generally found between Indiana and Third Streets, odd and even addresses, from 18th to Tubbs Streets, Blocks/Lots: 3996/4 - 7; 4043/1 - 5, 5A, 6, 11B, 14, 15, 16; 4060/1, 4, 6 - 63; 4106/1A, 2 - 5, 5A, 6 - 9, 9A, 10 - 15; 4107/1B, 2A, 2B, 2C, 2E, 2F, 2G, 2H, 2I, 2J, 2K, 2L, 2M, 2N, 3 - 23, 26 - 57; 4108/1, 3A, 3C, 3D, 3E, 3G, 3H, 3O, 3P, 4, 5, 6, 8 - 14, 14A, 15, 17 - 21; 4171/1 - 7, 14, 15, 17; 4172/1, 2, 3, 15, 16, 18, 18A, 19, 20, 21, 25, 27, 28, 29, 32, 34, 34A, 34B, 35, 36, 41, 44 - 53, and shall be as designated on the Dogpatch Historic District Map, the original of which is on file with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors under File No. 020972, which Map is hereby incorporated herein as though fully set forth. (Added by Ord. 66-03, File No. 020972, App. 4/18/2003) 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 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. Any exterior change within the Dogpatch Historic District shall require a Certificate of Appropriateness, pursuant to the provisions of Article 10, when such work requires a City permit. The procedures, requirements, controls and standards of Article 10 of the Planning Code shall apply to all applications for Certificates of Appropriateness in the Dogpatch Historic District. In addition, the following specific standards for review shall apply to all applications for Certificates of Appropriateness. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions set forth below and Article 10, those procedures, requirements, controls and standards affording stricter protection to the Historic District shall prevail. (a) Character of the Historic District. The general standards for review of all applications for Certificates of Appropriateness are as set forth in Article 10. 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.
