HPC approves certificate of appropriateness for 1060 Fulton Street in Alamo Square
Summary
The commission unanimously approved a certificate of appropriateness for exterior and limited rear additions at 1060 Fulton Street in the Alamo Square Historic District, finding the work will be minimally visible from the public right of way and consistent with Article 10 standards.
The San Francisco Historic Preservation Commission on May 21 approved a certificate of appropriateness for alterations at 1060 Fulton Street in the Alamo Square Historic District, voting 7-0 to grant approval with the conditions described in staff reports.
Michelle Taylor, planning department staff, told the commission that 1060 Fulton Street is a three-story, two‑family Classical Revival residence built in 1911 and located on the north side of Alamo Square Park. Taylor said the proposed work includes interior alterations, horizontal additions at the rear and side, alterations to windows on non‑visible elevations and a roof deck set back from the front building wall. "All work will be minimally visible or not visible from the public right of way," Taylor said.
Taylor said staff determined the proposal "is in conformance with the requirements outlined in Article 10 of the Planning Code, and the Secretary of the Interior standards," explaining that the project respects the building's character-defining features and limits changes to non‑street-facing elevations.
Architect Michael Turndrup of AG Studio, representing the project sponsor, told commissioners the team worked with Planning Department staff through multiple rounds of review and that the design preserves the front elevation and streetscape views. "We're aware of the significance of the existing building and its designation within the Alamo Square Historic District," Turndrup said.
Commissioners asked about enforcement and record-keeping. Taylor said the department requires inspections during construction and will enforce adherence to approved plans; if work deviates, inspections stop and enforcement follows. She also said staff reviews PG&E meter locations and that no proposal to move meters had been presented in this application. Taylor said the applicant had previously considered window replacement but is retaining existing windows after a condition assessment discussion with staff.
The commission recorded Aye votes from Commissioner Barone, Commissioner Bridal, Commissioner Vergara, Commissioner Wright, Commissioner Foley, Vice President Nagas Warren and Commission President Matsuda. The motion to approve passed unanimously, 7-0.
Taylor noted the department reissued a categorical exemption for the project on May 14, 2025 with corrected approval action and that no public comments were received on this item.
