At the regularly scheduled January 19, 2011 hearing, Planning Department (Department) staff gave a presentatin fcused n Article 10 Landmark designatins t date. The presentatin identified trends related t the lcatin, prperty types, scial histry, and cnstructin dates f existing Landmarks. It als prvided backgrund n designatins made primarily fr a prperty s assciatin with a significant persn, event, r cultural grup, rather than slely fr its architectural qualities. The Department prvided this infrmatin, at the HPC s request, in rder t infrm and priritize the HPC s Wrk Prgram fr FY At the January 19, 2011 hearing, the HPC requested additinal infrmatin t assist in the priritizatin f the Wrk Prgram. This additinal infrmatin includes the status f Department review f cmmunity spnsred histric and cultural surveys and a cmpilatin f previus dcumentatin related t past Landmarks Preservatin Advisry Bard s Wrk Prgrams. Based n the Department s previus analysis f underrepresented Article 10 prperty types and styles, the Department has als cmpiled additinal infrmatin that may be f assistance in the priritizatin prcess. Based n the directin given t Department staff at the March 2, 2011 hearing, the Department will return with a draft Wrk Prgram fr review and actin at a future HPC hearing.

3 Executive Summary Landmark Designatin Wrk Prgram HEARING DATE: DECEMBER 15, 2010 Date: December 8, 2010 Case N.: Staff Cntact: Mary Brwn (415) Reviewed By: Tim Frye (415) REQUESTED COMMISSION ACTION This infrmatinal presentatin t the Histric Preservatin Cmmissin (HPC) is intended t infrm and guide priritizatin f the HPC s Landmark Designatin Wrk Prgram (Wrk Prgram) fr FY There is n actin required at this time. Based n the discussin at the December 15, 2010 hearing, the Planning Department (Department) will return with recmmendatins at the January 19, 2011 HPC hearing. PROJECT BACKGROUND At its August 4, 2010 hearing the HPC directed Department staff t prvide backgrund infrmatin n Article 10 Landmark designatins t date and identify, if any, trends related t the lcatin, prperty types, scial histry, and cnstructin dates f existing Landmarks. While there are n specific Landmark designatin criteria utlined in Article 10 f the Planning Cde, the HPC was als interested in designatins that were made primarily fr a prperty s assciatin with a significant persn, event, r cultural grup, rather than slely its architectural qualities. It is the Department s understanding that the analysis cntained in this reprt will be used t infrm and priritize the HPC s Landmark Designatin Wrk Prgram (Wrk Prgram) fr FY The budget fr this fiscal year allcates ne full time equivalent (FTE) staff t Landmark designatin and ther related activities as directed by the HPC. Given the number f eligible resurces identified in recent surveys and in past Landmark Preservatin Advisry Bard wrk prgrams, and the wrklad assciated with each designatin, staffing fr nly a limited number f designatins is feasible. The prjected number f hurs and level f wrk required fr each Landmark designatin is dcumented in the fllwing sectins. Als presented is a prpsed quarterly reprting structure t mnitr resurce allcatin fr Landmark designatins and t allw fr the HPC and the Department t priritize designatins as apprpriate.

4 Executive Summary Hearing Date: December 15, 2010 Landmark Preservatin Wrk Prgram PROJECT DESCRIPTION Part 1: Analysis f Existing Landmark Designatins T dcument trends, the Department cded each Landmark based n a range f variables including: date designated, age f prperty when designated, cnstructin date, style, prperty type, and scale. Results f this cding were charted and displayed in GIS maps. (See Appendix.) In additin, prperties that were fund t be significant due whlly r in part t an assciatin with a significant persn, event, r ethnic r cultural cmmunity were identified. Landmark Preservatin Advisry Bard Designatins The purpse f Landmark designatin is tw fld: t bestw distinctin upn and fster appreciatin f San Francisc s mst significant buildings, structures, and bjects, and t prvide an additinal measure f prtectin fr prperties vulnerable t demlitin r inapprpriate alteratin. The Landmarks Preservatin Advisry Bard (LPAB) was established in 1967 with the adptin f Article 10 f the Planning Cde. The City f San Francisc designated 260 Article 10 Landmarks and 11 Histric Districts in San Francisc during the LPAB s fur decades f activity. Missin Dlres, San Francisc s ldest extant building and first Article 10 Landmark, was designated in The 1960s 1970s was a particularly active perid fr Landmark designatin. Over 40% f San Francisc s Landmarks were designated during the first decade f preservatin activity. Early designatins fcused n churches, cmmercial buildings and 1850s era brick cmmercial buildings cncentrated in the Jacksn Square area. Relatively few residential buildings were designated just ne f the first 40 San Francisc Landmarks was residential, the Clnel Dames Octagn Huse (Landmark N. 17). The 1980s als witnessed significant designatin activity, with a ntable cncentratin f designatins in the Dwntwn area. The last tw decades have witnessed a significant decrease in the number f individual Landmark designatin, averaging fewer than fur designatins per year. Just ne building was designated in 2009 (Metr Theater, Landmark N. 261) and ne in 2010, the Marina Branch Library. See Figure 1. The LPAB was nt cnsistent in its numbering system fr designatins. Individual Landmark designatins typically cnsist f a single building; sme individual designatins, hwever, included several buildings, fr example, Landmark N. 210 cvered the Murphy Windmill and adjacent Millwright Cttage. Other clusters f buildings received individual Landmark numbers fr each building, fr example, the Tanfran Cttages (Landmark N. 67 and 68), and Wds Hall (Landmark N. 257) and the adjacent Wds Hall Annex (Landmark N. 258). 2

5 Executive Summary Hearing Date: December 15, 2010 Landmark Preservatin Wrk Prgram Landmark Activity by Decade # f Designated Landmarks Decade Figure 1 Surce: San Francisc Planning Department Year Built, Styles, and Architects The first decade f LPAB designatin activity fcused n the City s ldest buildings. Mre than half f all Landmarks are survivrs f the 1906 earthquake and fire. Victrian era styles, in particular, Italianate design, as applied t single family dwellings and cmmercial brick buildings are well represented. Many Landmarks were built during the perid f intense building activity that characterized the recnstructin f San Francisc in the decade fllwing the disaster. Styles f these buildings drew heavily frm the Beaux Arts and Classical Revival design idims. Just 3% f Landmark buildings were cnstructed after 1930, resulting in few buildings designed in a Mdern style. Ntably underrepresented are buildings designed in the reginal vernacular, the Bay Regin Traditins. See Figure 2. San Francisc s Landmark s were designed by Master architects f lcal and natinal significance, including Willis Plk, Timthy Pflueger, the Newsm brthers, Luis C. Mullgardt, Julia Mrgan, Jhn Reid Jr., Jhn Galen Hward, A. Page Brwn, H. C. Baumann, Henry Geilfuss, Frank Llyd Wright, Ernest Cxhead, Bernard Maybeck, and Albert Pissis. Due in part t the lss f building permit recrds during the 1906 disaster, the names f architects fr almst a quarter f Landmarks are nt knwn. 3

Currently there is just a single Recent Past Landmark, the San Jse Theater / NAMES Prject building (Landmark N. 241), at 2362 Market Street. It is an unusual Landmark fr San Francisc in that its significance is derived frm its assciatin with the 1980s AIDS Quilt prject, rather than fr specific architectural qualities. The building is greater than 50 years f age, cnstructed in 1906, and, due t numerus alteratins, des nt pssess distinctive characteristics in terms f design, wrkmanship, r materials. Just 10 buildings cnstructed after 1930 are designated Landmarks. Hwever, past Landmarks Preservatin Advisry Bards, beginning in 1975, have demnstrated a willingness t designate Recent Past prperties. See Figure 3. The LPAB designated eight buildings that, at the time f designatin, were less than 50 years ld. These include: - Landmark N. 72: Frank Llyd Wright s V. C. Mrris gift shp, designated in 1975 at age 26 - Landmark N. 84: War Memrial Cmplex, designated in 1977 at age 46 - Landmark N. 99: Schenstein Pipe Organ Factry, designated in 1977 at age 49 - Landmark N. 107: Public Wrks Administratin era Rincn Annex Pst Office, designated in 1980 at age 41 - Landmark N. 122: Clay Street Center, designated in 1981 at age 49 - Landmark N. 170: One building included in the Grace Cathedral Clse Landmark designatin the Cathedral Schl fr Bys, a Mdern building erected in 1966 was designated in 1984 at age 18 4

Just a handful f residential Landmarks are small scale r vernacular, including the Stanyan Huse (Landmark N. 66), the Tanfran cttages (Landmarks N. 67 and 68), an earthquake refugee shack (Landmark N. 171), the Shipwright s Cttage (Landmark N. 250), and the Glazer Keating Huse (Landmark N. 251). Few apartment buildings are designated Landmarks; exceptins include The Chambrd (Landmark N. 106), Gaylrd Htel, a residential htel (Landmark N. 159), and the Hward / 26 th Street Cttages, a lw rise residential cmplex (Landmark N. 206). A quarter f Landmarks are gvernment, educatinal r institutinal buildings. These Landmarks include six fire statins, ten schls, five Carnegie branch libraries, and a handful f state and federal buildings. The diverse range f institutinal buildings include several hspitals, a Clumbarium, and scial service, fraternal, r neighbrhd rganizatin buildings, including: - Landmark N. 86: Ptrer Hill Neighbrhd Huse, which served the Mlkans, a sect f Russian immigrants 5

Cnservatry f Music) Nine percent f Landmarks are religius buildings, nearly all are Christian churches with the exceptin f the Ohabi Shalme Synaggue (Landmark N. 81) and the B nai David Synaggue (Landmark N. 118). All f the religius buildings, with the exceptin f St. Brigid s Church (Landmark N. 252), were designated prir t the passage f Califrnia Assembly Bill 133 in Passed by the state legislature, AB 133 gave religius rganizatins abslute cntrl ver whether their prperty culd be histrically designated by a city r cunty. N ther prperty wners have this pwer. 1 St. Brigid s Church was designated after the prperty was transferred t a private entity. A third f San Francisc Landmarks are cmmercial (15%), ffice (10%), r industrial (8%) prperty types. Cmmercial buildings include 10 mvie theaters, 10 banks, six htels, and several restaurants and retail establishments. Landmark ffice buildings are typically ffice twers lcated in Dwntwn r smaller scale mixed use buildings with ffices n the upper stries. Industrial buildings are ften tw t three stry brick warehuses, many are lcated in the Suth f Market area. A few cmmercial and industrial buildings are ntably small in scale, including Hffman s Grill 2 (Landmark N. 144), Jack s Restaurant (Landmark N. 146), and F.V. Wilbert s Blacksmith Shp (Landmark N. 149). Nt all San Francisc Landmarks are buildings. Landmark structures and bjects include sculpture, bridges, signage, and linear features such as the Path f Gld Light Standards alng Market Street and the Glden Triangle Light Standards. Several bridges are designated, including the Third Street Bridge (Landmark N. 194) and Glden Gate Bridge (Landmark N. 222). Designated sculpture and bjects include Ltta Crabtree Funtain (Landmark N. 73), Samuel s Clck (Landmark N. 77), the Dggie Diner Sign (Landmark N. 254) and numerus sculptures and mnuments in Glden Gate Park. Several landscapes are als designated, including the Music Cncurse in Glden Gate Park (Landmark N. 249) and Washingtn Square Park (Landmark N. 226). 1 Margaret Randal.

Pacific Heights, Nb Hill, Russian Hill and Nrth Beach cntain significant cncentratins f designated buildings. The Missin District, with its many survivrs frm the 1906 disaster, als features scattered Landmarks. Several clusters f Landmarks are lcated in the Suth f Market area. Neighbrhds t the suth, sutheast, suthwest, and nrthwest, hwever, cntain very few Landmarks. The area suth f the Missin District t the San Mate Cunty brder, spanning frm the Pacific Ocean t the San Francisc Bay ver a third f the City s land area cntains just a dzen Landmarks. See Appendix Maps. Cultural Assciatin The vast majrity f Landmarks were evaluated and designated based n architectural cnsideratins. Typically, Landmarks represent intact, high style design, rather than vernacular architecture. Hwever, additinal criteria including a building s assciatin with a significant persn, culture, r event were als cnsidered when designating Landmarks. Beginning in the early 1970s, several buildings were designated due fully r in part t their assciatin with significant peple, events, r cultural assciatins, including the Dennis T. Sullivan Memrial Fire Chief s Hme (Landmark N. 42) and the Dnaldina Camern Huse (Landmark N. 44). Later examples f designatins based largely n the assciatin with a significant persn, event, r cultural assciatin include: - Landmark N. 127: The utilitarian Old Spaghetti Factry in Nrth Beach, a cnverted industrial building, was designated fr its assciatin with Bhemian culture and the Beatnik literary scene. - Landmark N. 148: The Kerrigan Huse and Studi was designated fr its assciatin with the artist Ruth Cravath and fr its Bay Traditin design. 7

Article 10 Existing Histric Districts Frm 1975 t 2003, the City f San Francisc designated eleven Article 10 Histric Districts. These histric districts are lcated primarily in the central, nrthern, and nrtheastern neighbrhds and range in size frm a handful f buildings t several hundred prperties. Jacksn Square Histric District Eight blcks cntaining 82 parcels Perid f Significance: 1850s 1900s San Francisc s earliest surviving cmmercial area features cmmercial and mixed use buildings, predminately brick, erected in the 1850s t 1860s. Buildings are typically tw t three stries with cmmercial uses at the high grund stry. Designated Webster Street Histric District Three blcks cntaining 25 parcels Perid f Significance: This residential histric district in the Western Additin features a unified cllectin f builderdevelped residences designed in the Italianate style.

It features a large cllectin f warehuses and industrial buildings cnstructed f brick and reinfrced cncrete. Designated in Alam Square Histric District Sixteen blcks cntaining 281 parcels Perid f Significance: 1870s 1920s This large residential histric district is clustered arund Alam Square in the Western Additin. It features richly rnamented huses and flats, designed in a range f Victrian and Edwardian era styles, primarily fr businessmen and the upper middle class hme buyer. Alam Square itself is a cntributing feature.

It includes mixed use buildings, primarily alng Valencia Street, that feature grund level retail spaces. Designated in Telegraph Hill Histric District Six blcks cntaining 90 parcels Perid f Significance: This eclectic hillside histric district features the largest cncentratin f pre 1870s buildings in San Francisc. The residential district features small scale dwellings accessible nly via narrw pedestriannly lanes and staircases, as well as larger, icnic Mdern buildings such as Richard Neutra s Kahn Huse and the Streamline Mderne Mallch Apartment Building. Designated in Blackstne Curt Histric District One blck cntaining fur parcels Perid f Significance: c.1850s c.1900 The significance f this tiny mid blck residential district is mre histrical than architectural.

12 Executive Summary Hearing Date: December 15, 2010 Landmark Preservatin Wrk Prgram Perid f Significance: The Civic Center histric district cnsists f mnumental institutinal buildings flanking a central pen space, as well as nearby large scale cmmercial and apartment buildings. Civic Center institutinal buildings are unified in a Beaux Arts Classical design, described as American Renaissance. The Civic Center Plaza is a cntributing feature. Designated in Bush Street Cttage Rw Histric District Tw blcks cntaining 23 parcels Perid f Significance: The histric district is cmprised f 22 residential buildings primarily f flat frnt Italianate and Stick design plus a walkway and a small park. Lcated in the Japantwn neighbrhd, the buildings are relatively small scale and a unifrm tw stries in height. In the 1930s, the walkway was cmmnly knwn as Japan Street due t the neighbrhd s large ppulatin f Japanese American residents. Designated in Dgpatch Histric District Nine blcks cntaining 131 parcels Perid f Significance: This district features the ldest enclave f industrial wrkers husing in San Francisc. It is lcated t the east f Ptrer Hill in the Central Waterfrnt district. The small scale Victrian era cttages and flats hused wrkers frm the shipyards and maritime related industries f the adjacent Ptrer Pint. Als included are several industrial, cmmercial and civic buildings. Designated in Part 1 Summary Based n the Department s analysis, it appears that many f San Francisc s earliest and mst significant buildings are designated Article 10 Landmarks. San Francisc s Landmarks predminately reflect the experience, dmiciles, and businesses f histric San Francisc s mre pwerful and affluent residents. The verwhelming majrity f Landmarks are large scale r mnumental wrks designed in a high style interpretatin f Classical r Victrian era styles. Nnetheless, several smaller and/r vernacular buildings are designated Landmarks, typically fr their assciatin with a significant persn, cultural assciatin, r event. Generally, San Francisc s Article 10 Histric Districts mre ften reflect buildings, styles, and patterns f develpment related t wrking and middle class residential develpment. Cmmercial and industrial buildings and warehuses are als well represented in histric districts. Landmarks and histric districts are spatially cncentrated in lder, mre affluent, and cmmercially riented areas, primarily in the central, nrthern, and nrtheastern prtin f the City. Neighbrhds t the west, suthwest, suth, and sutheast have few designated Landmarks r histric districts. Several building styles, prperty types, and patterns f develpment are ntably underrepresented. Underrepresented styles include the First Bay Traditin, Craftsman, and Mdern styles such as Streamline Mderne, Internatinal Style, Secnd Bay Traditin, Expressinism, and Midcentury Mdern. Under represented prperty types include bungalws, residential parks, garden apartments, multifamily residential buildings, retail strefrnts, and landscapes, including parks. Als underrepresented are Article 10 Landmarks that are significant due primarily t an assciatin with peple, events, cultural assciatins, r ethnic grups. 10

13 Executive Summary Hearing Date: December 15, 2010 Landmark Preservatin Wrk Prgram Part 2: Tasks and Hurs fr Article 10 Landmark and Histric District Designatin The budget fr this fiscal year allcates ne full time equivalent (FTE) staff t Article 10 Landmark designatin and ther designatin activities as directed by the HPC. The budgeted equivalent fr this FTE is 2,080 hurs; hwever, these hurs include nn prductive hurs such as unpaid furlugh days, hlidays, vacatin, sick time and breaks as well as required activities such as weekly staff meetings and trainings. In rder t prvide a realistic estimate f the number f designatins pssible fr ne FTE, the Department develped tasks and time estimates fr varius types f Article 10 Landmark and Histric District designatins. The Department identified a set f tasks required t designate an Article 10 Landmark r histric district frm initiatin t case clsure. The tasks are nearly identical fr individual Landmarks and histric districts, thugh an additinal step is required fr histric districts: Planning Cmmissin review. The number f hurs required t cmplete these tasks is dependent, in part, upn the level f existing research and dcumentatin fr a particular prperty and the level f cmmunity supprt. Tasks Finalize DPR A and DPR B frms. Create DPR L frm with any additinal required infrmatin including a current phtgraph Prperty wner ntificatin and utreach Cmmunity meeting preparatin, staffing, and fllw up Additinal utreach, meetings, and presentatins t prperty wners, tenants, and stakehlders Pst utreach DPR A and DPR B frm research and revisin Hearing related dcumentatin: Executive Summary, Case Reprt, wner ntificatin letter, HPC Reslutin t Bard f Supervisrs, Planning Cmmissin Reslutin t Bard f Supervisrs and crdinate Ordinance with City Attrney Presentatins t the HPC, Planning Cmmissin and Bard f Supervisrs (ptentially up t five hearings) Pst hearings wning ntificatin; submittal t the Office f Histric Preservatin; update f the Department s Parcel Infrmatin Database, CHRID, and Planning Cde; and case clsure. Landmarks The Department develped tw different scenaris an evaluated Market/Octavia prperty and an undcumented prperty and related prject budgets that take int accunt the increased amunt f time needed t designate undcumented prperties. These scenaris are intended t prvide sme understanding abut the ptential number and types f Landmarks that culd be designated with ne FTE. 11

14 Executive Summary Hearing Date: December 15, 2010 Landmark Preservatin Wrk Prgram Scenari A: Individual Landmarks Market / Octavia Recmmendatins The dcumentatin fr a number f the prperties identified as eligible within the Market / Octavia survey area is cnsidered nearly cmplete, with minimal research and dcumentatin required t finalize the DPR A and DPR B frms. Prjected hurs fr designatin: 1 Landmark designatin: 70 hurs /.05 FTE 20 Landmark designatins: 1,400 hurs / 1.03 FTE Scenari B: Individual Landmarks Undcumented Prperty Cnsiderable research and writing is required t designate an undcumented prperty. Several prperties n the LPAB s previus Landmarks Wrk Prgram fall int this categry. It appears that typically just 10% 25% f the research and dcumentatin has been cmpleted fr mst Wrk Prgram items frm Prjected hurs fr designatin: 1 Landmark designatin: 125 hurs /.09 FTE 20 Landmark designatins: 2,500 hurs / 1.84 FTE Histric Districts The Department estimates a base f 275 hurs per histric district designatin. Much f this time is fcused n cmmunity utreach, dcumentatin preparatin, and hearing related activity. An additinal fur hurs f wrk per cntributing prperty is als expected. Fr example, an eligible neighbrhd histric district that cntained 80 cntributrs wuld result in a designatin that tk 590 hurs f staff time, equivalent t.44 FTE. Glden Gate Park Histric District Designatin At the HPC s request, the Department has undertaken preliminary research and dcumentatin f issues related t Article 10 designatin f Glden Gate Park t address areas that are missing r undevelped within the Natinal Register Nminatin Frm. This item will be befre the HPC at its January 19, 2011 hearing. If the HPC initiates designatin, the Department estimates an additinal 300 hurs (apprximately) f staff time the equivalent f.22 FTE t research, dcument, and shepherd the designatin thrugh the apprval prcess. This preliminary estimate will n dubt be refined as wrk n this prject prgresses. Part 2 Summary Priritizatin f the Landmarks Wrk Prgram shuld take int accunt the estimated number f hurs required fr individual r histric district designatins. Ecnmies f scale culd reduce the amunt f time required fr individual Landmark designatins.

16 Executive Summary Hearing Date: December 15, 2010 Landmark Preservatin Wrk Prgram ISSUES AND OTHER CONSIDERATIONS This reprt has fcused specifically n Article 10 designatins. The HPC might als cnsider expanding its Wrk Prgram t include levels f designatin in additin t Article 10. Accrding t Sectin 3.B.4 f the Market Octavia Ordinance, the Landmarks Bard may: (1) initiate frmal listing as utlined in Planning Cde Sectin 1004 et seq.; and/r (2) nminate all Califrnia r Natinal Register eligible districts with the Califrnia Office f Histric Preservatin (OHP), as utlined in the Office f Histric Preservatin Technical Assistance Series #7. Recent Area Plan surveys, including Market Octavia, Suth f Market, and the Missin District have identified and dcumented hundreds f prperties as eligible fr listing in the Califrnia Register f Histrical Places (Califrnia Register) as individual resurces r histric district cntributrs. These survey findings were adpted r are currently under cnsideratin fr adptin by the HPC. Only a small percentage f these identified resurces are likely candidates fr Article 10 designatin, mst are determined eligible fr the state r natinal registers. Officially designating these identified eligible resurces can prmte awareness and pride in San Francisc s histric, cultural, and architectural heritage and can prvide prperty wners with additinal lcal, state r federal financial benefits. The Califrnia Office f Histric Preservatin is currently develping prcedures fr fficially listing survey identified resurces n the Califrnia Register. While nt finalized, the prcedures will likely cnsist f wner ntificatin and a single hearing at the State Histrical Resurces Cmmissin. OHP has expressed an interest in testing their new prcedures with ne f the Department s recently adpted surveys. The Department will reprt back as mre infrmatin n this prcess becmes available.
