B. DEPARTMENT MATTERS

1. Director’s Announcements

Director John Rahaim:
Just wanted to call to your attention one item on the written Director’s Report on the second page; we have been working for a number of months on new urban design guidelines for new projects in the City. There have been a number of discussions and a number of hearings at the Planning Commission. We are having more community workshops on these guidelines; the next event is Wednesday the 16th at the Planning Department from 6 to 8 P.M. That’s Wednesday the 16th, two weeks from today. These are guidelines that are meant to address citywide, larger scale development other than single-family and two family homes. There has been a whole lot of interest in the community on these guidelines. Following up immediately on these guidelines will be the preservations guidelines for historic resources and districts, which we are starting to working on with Tim and the rest of the staff. We are trying to address current set of something like 25 different sets of guidelines in the city that apply to different areas of the city, different scales of development, trying to get those under control, streamline those into a more up-to-date set of guidelines so this is the first step of that process so we just want to call that to your attention and recognize that these will have a broad impact on development citywide.

2. Review of Past Events at the Planning Commission, Staff Report and Announcements

Tim Frye, Preservation Officer:
Just a few items to share with you; no formal report from the Planning Commission, however, several items to share with you from the recent Board of Supervisors hearings. The SOMA Pilipinas Strategic Plan Progress Report was presented to the Land Use and Transportation Committee on October 31st. Planning staff and two representatives from the working group presented the strategy and there were 8 people that spoke in support of the report. There was no opposition, Supervisor Kim also spoke in support and Supervisor Cohen spoke in support and mentioned the possibility of pursuing a similar cultural heritage district within the Bayview in the future. The motion was passed without objection and will be heard at the full board or I believe it was heard at the full board yesterday. As you remember, the staff presented this, not only to you October 19th, but the Planning Commission on October 27th. We will be having an all-city agency briefing hosted by Supervisor Kim’s office on November 10th to talk about the second phase of the project, which is developing the implementation strategy. Also, at the full board this past week was the final reading of 140 Maiden Lane interior landmark designation and the Ingleside Presbyterian Church Great Cloud of Witnesses.  Both of those were approved unanimously and have been forwarded to the mayor for signature. I also wanted to mention to you that we attended another meeting of the AIA Small Firms Committee. We attend their meetings a couple times a year to talk about various topics within the department, the permit and review process related to historic resources. A number of comments were and suggestions for process improvement were given by the architects at present including how we review properties under CEQA as well as a great interest in the historic design guidelines that Director Rahaim just mentioned. Other than that, we will continue working with them and doing outreach with other members and groups within the AIA and I'll report on those at a future hearing. That concludes my report unless you have any questions.

6. Historic Preservation Fund Committee reprot by Robert Cherny

Historic Preservation Fund Committee Activities, March 31-October 31, 2016

Report submitted to the Historic Preservation Commission by Robert Cherny on November 2, 2016.

HPFC members (with source of appointment):  Mark Ryser, chair (SF Beautiful), Dennis Antenore (San Franciscans for Preservation Planning), Bruce Bonacker (Mayor), Mike Buhler (San Francisco Heritage), Robert Cherny (HPC), Lila Hussain (Office of Community Investment and Infrastructure, acting as Successor to the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency), G. G. Bland Platt (Board of Supervisors).  Jonathan Lau of the Mayor’s Office of Economic and Workforce Development is staff to the committee.

During the past seven months, HPFC has approved funding for two new projects, conducted oversight for six projects funded earlier of which two were also completed, and is expecting a proposal for a new project.  Initial oversight and review activities are conducted by the Grant Review Sub-committee, which reports to the full committee on its work.  All HPFC members are invited to attend sub-committee meetings, but the regular sub-committee members are Ryser, Cherny, Bland Platt, and Courtney Damkroger. 

A new proposal is first reviewed by the sub-committee, which nearly always requests a meeting with the project sponsors to discuss concerns over specific aspects of the proposal, followed by resubmission of the proposal with revisions addressing the concerns.  Sometimes the sub-committee requires more than one re-submission.  Once the sub-committee approves a proposal, it is then reviewed and discussed by the full committee; once the committee approves, the recommendation goes to the Mayor’s Office of Economic and Workforce Development, which develops contracts and handles financial arrangements.  The sub-committee also reviews progress reports on individual projects and works with Planning Department staff on moving completed projects to HPC for approval. 

HPFC projects completed during the past six months:

  • Sacred Heart Parish Complex National Register nomination (HPFC initiated)
  • Corbett Heights, San Francisco (Western Part of Eureka Valley), Historic Context Statement (Corbett Heights Neighbors)

New projects (funded during the past seven months):

  • Ocean Avenue neighborhood commercial district survey of historic resources, district assessment and design guidance (Ocean Avenue Association)
  • OpenSF:  Digitizing and sharing historical photographs of San Francisco from private collections (Western Neighborhoods Project)

Project oversight during the past six months:

  • Residence Parks Historic Context Statement (Western Neighborhoods Project).  The sub-committee and the Planning Department have reviewed a draft and requested several, mostly minor, changes.  This project is likely to be completed in the near future.
  • Mission Dolores Neighborhood Historic Context Statement and National Register District nomination (Mission Dolores Neighborhood Association).  The sub-committee has reviewed a draft of the HCS and an updated survey and accepted it with only a few editorial changes.  The National Register nomination remains to be done.
  • Eureka Valley Historic Context Statement (Eureka Valley Neighborhood Association).  The sub-committee has recently received a draft and will be reviewing it in the near future.
  • San Francisco Latino Historic Context Statement (Heritage).  The sub-committee has reviewed a draft of and the reports of peer reviewers for part 2 of the HCS; the sub-committee has also received an encouraging progress report on plans for completing the project.

Priorities:
On May 29, 2015, the HPFC established priorities for self-initiated projects using the remaining Historic Preservation Fund.  The top eight priorities were:

  • Great Depression-New Deal Era Historical Context Statement (to focus on architecture and art).
  • Landmark nomination for Theodore Roosevelt Middle School.
  • Preservation and digitization of photographs of the city from the early 20th century.
  • Landmark nomination for George Washington High School.
  • Completion of an historic resource survey of the Ocean Avenue commercial district.
  • Landmark nomination for the historic structures and landscaping of the San Francisco Zoo.
  • Landmark nomination for the former Sunshine School, now Hilltop School.
  • National Historic Landmark nomination for Coit Tower.

A project is now underway sponsored by Heritage that addresses items 1, 2, 4, and 7.  We have, as noted above, recently approved funding for items 3 and 5.  Item 8 is underway without HPFC funding.  Of our top eight priorities, only item 6 remains without work underway.

We are now assuming that the remaining funds (less than $200,000) will be allocated sometime next year, that our oversight functions will extend another year (all current projects are scheduled to be completed by the end of September 2018), and that the committee will then be dissolved.
