Historic Preservation Commission continues Vallejo Street case, approves consent calendar unanimously
Summary
At its short Sept. 2, 2020 remote meeting the San Francisco Historic Preservation Commission moved to continue a Vallejo Street certificate of appropriateness to Sept. 16 and approved the consent calendar (including COAs for 556–560 Scott Street and 55 Hagiwara Teagarden Drive) in unanimous 6–0 votes; staff said the landmarks program will undergo an equity review.
The San Francisco Historic Preservation Commission met remotely on Sept. 2, 2020 and voted to continue one agenda item and approve the remainder of the consent calendar unanimously. The commission voted to continue item 5 — a certificate of appropriateness for Vallejo Street — to Sept. 16, 2020 after a motion and second; the motion passed 6 to 0.
Chair and staff also announced a series of consent calendar items: case number 2020-001258 PTA-02 at 447 Minnis Street (major permit to alter), case number 2018-013643 COA at 556–560 Scott Street (certificate of appropriateness) and case number 2019-017681 COA at 55 Hagiwara Teagarden Drive (Music Concourse certificate of appropriateness). A caller, Catherine Howard, said she supported the certificate of appropriateness and preferred it remain on consent. The commission moved to approve all matters on the consent calendar and, by roll call, Commissioners Black, Foley, Johns, So, Matsuda and Commission President Hyland voted yes; the motion passed unanimously, 6 to 0.
In departmental announcements, Elizabeth John Keir (speaking for Marcel Boudreaux) said staff is analyzing the landmarks program "through the lens of racial and social equity" and anticipates returning to the commission with an informational hearing on priorities next month. The chair also noted that Commissioners Koppel, Diamond and Imperial were reaffirmed by the Board of Supervisors for four-year terms and that the commission approved a planning code amendment allowing certain limited restaurants in North Beach to convert to full restaurants during the COVID period, a change the commission recommended the Board consider citywide.
The meeting lasted roughly 15 minutes; no final action on the Mother's Building nomination was taken and staff did not set a hearing date for that request during this session.
