• Civil Rights History Project: (Case No. 2016-008192SRV) The HPC may choose to add additional properties to its work program that have been identified as part of the San Francisco Civil Rights History Project, which explores the theme of civil rights advancement in San Francisco. Based on the city's draft and recently adopted cultural heritage historic context statements, the project creates an evaluative framework to determine the significance of these types of properties, and their potential as historic resources, or for listing on the National Register or as City Landmarks.
