SEC. 4. RELATION TO CITY PLANNING CODE. (a) Article 11 of the City Planning Code is the basic law governing preservation of buildings and districts of architectural importance in the C-3 District of the City and County of San Francisco. This Appendix is subject to and in addition to the provisions thereof. (b) Except as may be specifically provided to the contrary in this Code, nothing in this Appendix shall supersede, impair or modify any City Planning Code provisions applicable to property in the Kearny-Market-Mason-Sutter Conservation District, including, but not limited to, regulations controlling uses, height, bulk, coverage, floor area ratio, required open space, off-street parking, and signs. (Added Ord. 414-85, App. 9/17/85) SEC. 5. JUSTIFICATION. The characteristics of the Conservation District justifying its designation are as follows: (a) History of the District. Since the Kearny-Market-Mason-Sutter District covers a large area, individual streets within the district have had unique histories which have often changed dramatically over time. Maiden Lane (originally called Morton Street) was once the site of numerous houses of prostitution. Yet, after the fire and the opening of nearby department stores the renamed Union Square Avenue became the service entrance for those stores. In time, restaurants and retail stores opened, paving the way for the emergence of Maiden Lane as an exclusive retail address. Similarly, before the earthquake Powell Street, home to many theaters and restaurants, was known as the "uptown tenderloin." In the 1920's, the opening of numerous hotels and retail stores led to a gradual change of character on the street. These changing land-use patterns were in part determined by the movement of high-quality retail stores. Throughout the years, the closing or movement of larger department stores has often provided new space for smaller stores, and has strongly influenced their locations. The best known stores of the retail district were located on Kearny Street in the 1870's and 1880's. The growth of the City, due in part to the introduction of cable car service, led to the movement of the retail district towards both Market Street and the Grant Avenue/Union Square area. Beginning in the 1880's, department stores such as the Emporium and Hale Brothers opened large stores on Market Street. However, the large width of Market Street and its distance from high income residential neighborhoods on Nob Hill hindered its further development as a high class retail district. By the 1920's, Market Street had become San Francisco's family shopping street. The prominence of the Grant Avenue/Union Square retail area as an exclusive shopping district was assured when I. Magnin (originally on Third Street) moved from Market Street to the corner of Grant Avenue and Geary Street. The location of the City of Paris at the corner of Geary and Stockton Streets across from Union Square firmly established Union Square as the most desirable location in the retail district. I. Magnin eventually moved to a building across from Union Square and O'Connor Moffat (now Macys) located at the corner of Geary and Stockton Streets. A side effect of the development of Union Square as a retail district was the displacement of many medical and dental offices by b

treets across from Union Square firmly established Union Square as the most desirable location in the retail district. I. Magnin eventually moved to a building across from Union Square and O'Connor Moffat (now Macys) located at the corner of Geary and Stockton Streets. A side effect of the development of Union Square as a retail district was the displacement of many medical and dental offices by beauty parlors and restaurants catering to the new retail trade. Since the 1920's, Lower Grant Avenue and the Union Square area have been the City's premier shopping district. Concurrent with the development of Grant Avenue/Union Square as a retail district were the relocations of the hotel and theater districts. By the 1890's, the theater district relocated from Bush Street (between Grant and Kearny) to the area west of Union Square. Whereas hotels were once clustered at the intersection of Montgomery and Market Streets, after the 1906 Fire most hotels also moved to the area west of Union Square. The establishment of the St. Francis Hotel on the west side of the square was a major impetus to the hotel relocation. Before the fire, this area had been the site of many household goods establishments. (b) Basic Nature of the District. The pattern of development is one of small-scaled, light- colored buildings predominantly four to eight stories in height. The height and scale provide for a streetscape which is attractive to the pedestrian because of the comfortable scale and sunlit sidewalks. This dense area is the heart of San Francisco's retail and tourist sectors, containing a concentration of fine shops, department stores, theaters, hotels, and restaurants. As such, it is one of the main attractions to tourists from around the country and world, as well as the prime retail district in the Bay Area. The District is further defined by the location of Union Square in its heart. This square is, in many ways, the premier public open space in the City, as well as a primary public forum. (c) Architectural Character. The character of the area is determined by the many fine quality structures, among the best in the City, and supported by a number of contributory buildings. Since the entire area was built in less than 20 years, and the major portion in less than 10 years, buildings were constructed in similar styles and structural technology. Perhaps even more importantly, architects were of like backgrounds, schooled in the classical Beaux Arts tradition. In addition to their individual architectural features, the scale and design of buildings in the district related very well with neighboring buildings, streets and open spaces. This effect was achieved in large part by the alignment of cornice and belt course lines. The buildings used compatible detailing, colors, materials, massing, and scale. Ornament was derived from Classical, Renaissance, Gothic and Romanesque sources. In a limited number of examples, ornament was developed from early Spanish Colonial models.

(d) Uniqueness and Location. The District’s character, although it has many buildings of recent vintage, is largely intact. It is one of the few homogeneous collections of early Twentieth Century commercial architecture of its type in the United States. At the time of designation in 1985, this District included 324 buildings, 114 of which were identified as architecturally significant and 140 as contributory. Only 98 buildings were not rated. Subsequent amendments to the District and reclassification of individual buildings have resulted in a greater concentration of architecturally significant properties. Union Square, an integral part of the District, is a unique resource and ranks with the finest open spaces in the country. The area is centrally located and easily accessible to the Financial District, Nob Hill, the Tenderloin, and the South of Market, as well as outlying districts of the City. The Powell Street Cable Car lines is a unique feature which relates the area to the entire northeastern quadrant of the City and attracts tourists to the area. (e) Visual and Functional Unity. The character of the area is determined by a series of buildings whose compositions and use of materials and ornament are complementary, as well as by the regular street pattern which creates interesting views and vistas down the streets. Within the District, several subareas increase the variety and complexity of the District while retaining its essential architectural character. (f) Dynamic Continuity. The District is the center of San Francisco’s retail market and is constantly responding to new trends and needs. The area has seen the recent opening of two major department stores and, in addition, many new small stores. Indeed, much of the pedestrian interest so important to the District is a result of the ever-changing shop windows and stores. (g) Benefits to the City and its Residents. The District provides a wide range of benefits to both the City and its residents. Much of the retailing area’s vitality is attributable to its physical character. The mix of shops and unique buildings is not duplicated in suburban shopping malls, and, because of this, the area attracts shoppers from around the Bay Area. The District is a prime destination for tourists and is therefore an important part of San Francisco’s image. The prevailing architectural character is an important legacy from the Beaux Arts tradition and contains many fine examples of commercial architecture. (Added Ord. 414-85, App. 9/17/85; amended by Ord. 259-18, File No. 180726, App. 11/2/2018, Eff. 12/3/2018) SEC. 6. FEATURES. The exterior architectural features of the Kearny-Market-Mason-Sutter Conservation District are as follows: (a) Massing and Composition. The compositions of the building facades reflect the different architectural functions of the building. For the most part, building facades in the district are two- or three-part vertical compositions consisting either of a base and a shaft, or a base, a shaft and a capital. In more elaborate designs, transitional stories create a stacked composition, but the design effect is similar. In addition, the facade of a building is often divided into bays expressing the structure (commonly steel and reinforced concrete) beneath the facade. This was accomplished through fenestration, structural articulation or other detailing which serves to break the facade into discrete segments. A common compositional device in the District is an emphasis placed upon either the end bays or the central bay. The massing of the structures is usually a simple vertically oriented rectangle with a ratio of width to height generally from 1:2 to 1:4. This vertically oriented massing is an important characteristic of the District. In addition, continuous streetwall heights are a characteristic of most blockfronts. Almost without exception, the buildings in the Kearny-Market-Mason-Sutter Conservation District are built to the front property line and occupy the entire site. Where buildings have not followed this rule, they do not adequately enclose the street. The massing of structures often reflects unique or prominent site characteristics. Corner buildings often have rounded corner bays to express the special requirements of the site and to tie its two blockfronts together. (b) Scale. The buildings are of small to medium scale. The bay width is generally from 20 feet to 30 feet. Heights generally range from four to eight stories on lots 40 feet to 80 feet wide, although a number of taller buildings exist. The wider frontages are often broken up by articulation of the facade, making the buildings appear narrower. The base is generally delineated from the rest of the building giving the District an intimate scale at the street. (c) Materials and Colors. Buildings are usually clad in masonry materials over a supporting structure. The cladding materials include terra cotta, brick, stone and stucco. Wood, metal and metal panels are not facade materials, although painted wood and metal are sometimes used for window sash and ornament. The materials are generally colored light or medium earth tones, including white, cream, buff, yellow, and brown. Individual buildings generally use a few different tones of one color. To express the mass and weight of the structure, masonry materials are used on multidimensional wall surfaces with texture and depth, which simulates the qualities necessary to support the weight of a load-bearing wall. (d) Detailing and Ornamentation. This area has been the heart of the retail district since it was reconstructed after the fire. Buildings use the expression of texture and depth on masonry material (e.g., rustication, deep window reveals) to simulate the appearance of load-bearing walls. The buildings are not constructed in a single style, but with ornament drawn from a variety of historical sources, primarily Classical and Renais

his area has been the heart of the retail district since it was reconstructed after the fire. Buildings use the expression of texture and depth on masonry material (e.g., rustication, deep window reveals) to simulate the appearance of load-bearing walls. The buildings are not constructed in a single style, but with ornament drawn from a variety of historical sources, primarily Classical and Renaissance. Gothic detailing is also well represented. Popular details include, arches, columns, pilasters, projecting bracketed cornices, multiple belt-courses, elaborate lintels and pediments, and decorated spandrels. Details were used to relate buildings to their neighbors by repeating and varying the ornament used in the surrounding structures. (Added Ord. 414-85, App. 9/17/85) SEC. 7. STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES FOR REVIEW OF NEW CONSTRUCTION AND CERTAIN ALTERATIONS. (a) All construction of new buildings and all major alterations, which are subject to the provisions of Sections 1110, 1111 through 1111.6 and 1113, shall be compatible with the District in general with respect to the building's composition and massing, scale, materials and colors, and detailing and ornamentation, including those features described in Section 6 of this Appendix. Emphasis shall be placed on compatibility with those buildings in the area in which the new or altered building is located. In the case of major alterations, only those building characteristics that are affected by the proposed alteration shall be considered in assessing compatibility. Signs on buildings in conservation districts are subject to the provisions of Section 1111.7. The foregoing standards do not require, or even encourage, new buildings to imitate the styles of the past. Rather, they require the new to be compatible with the old. The determination of compatibility shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 309. (b) The guidelines in this Subsection are to be used in assessing compatibility. (1) Composition and Massing. Although the District is quite large and contains a wide variety of building forms, new construction should maintain its essential character by relating to the prevailing height, mass, proportions, rhythm and composition of existing Significant and Contributory Buildings. The height and massing of new buildings should not alter the traditional scale of existing buildings, streets and open spaces. In addition to the consideration of sunlight access for the street, an appropriate streetwall height is established by reference to the prevailing height of the buildings on the block and especially that of adjacent buildings. If the adjacent buildings are of a significantly different height than the rest of the buildings on the block, then the prevailing height of buildings on the block should be used as a guide. A setback at the streetwall height can permit additional height above the setback without breaking the continuity of the street wall. Most existing buildings are built to the property or street line. This pattern, except in the case of carefully selected open spaces, should not be broken since it could damage the continuity of building rhythms and the definitions of streets. The standard proportions of new buildings should be established by the prevailing streetwall height and width of lots. To ensure that an established set of proportions is maintained, it is necessary to break up the facades of new buildings into smaller sections that relate to those existing proportions. The use of smaller bays and multiple entrances are two ways of relating the rhythm of a new building with those of historic buildings. The design of a new structure should repeat the prevailing pattern of two- and three-part vertical compositions. A base element is necessary to define the pedestrian environment. This division of a building allows flexibility in the design of the ground story while encouraging a uniform treatment of the upper stories. (2) Scale. A major influence on scale is the degree to which the total facade plane is broken into smaller parts (by detailing, fenestration, bay widths) which relate to human scale. While department stores and hotels are of a medium scale, the traditional pattern for the District has consisted of small scale buildings. The existing scale of the buildings in the vicinity should be maintained. This can be accomplished in a variety of ways, including: a consistent use of size and complexity of detailing in regards to surrounding buildings, continuance of existing bay widths, maintenance of an existing streetwall height, and incorporation of a base element (of similar height) to maintain the pedestrian environment. Large wall surfaces, which increase a building's scale, should be broken up through the use of detailing and textural variation. Existing fenestration (windows, entrances) rhythms and proportions which have been established by lot width or bay width should be repeated in new structures. The spacing and size of window openings should follow the sequence set by Significant and Contributory structures. Large glass areas should be broken up by mullions so that the scale of glazed areas is compatible with that of neighboring buildings. Casement and double-hung windows should be used where possible.

(3) Materials and Colors. The use of like materials can relate two buildings of obviously different eras and styles. Similarly, the use of materials that appear similar (such as substituting concrete for stone) can link two disparate structures, or harmonize the appearance of a new structure with the architectural character of a conservation district. The preferred surface materials for this district are brick, stone, and concrete (simulated to look like terra cotta or stone). The texture of surfaces can be treated in a manner so as to emphasize the bearing function of the material, as is done in rustication on historic buildings. Traditional light colors should be used in order to blend in with the character of the district. Dissimilar buildings may be made more compatible by using similar or harmonious colors, and to a lesser extent, by using similar textures. (4) Detailing and Ornamentation. A new building should relate to the surrounding area by picking up elements from surrounding buildings and repeating them or developing them for new purposes. Since the District has one of the largest collections of finely ornamented buildings in the City, these buildings should serve as references for new buildings. Detailing of a similar shape and placement can be used without directly copying historical ornament. The new structure should incorporate prevailing cornice lines or belt courses and may also use a modern vernacular instead of that of the original model. (Added Ord. 414-85, App. 9/17/85) SEC. 8. TDR: ELIGIBILITY OF CATEGORY V BUILDINGS. Category V Buildings in that portion of the Kearny-Market-Mason-Sutter Conservation District which is in the C-3-0 Use District as shown on Sectional Map 1 of the Zoning Map are eligible for the transfer of TDR as provided in Section 1109(c).

(Added Ord. 414-85, App. 9/17/85; amended by Ord. 182-12 , File No. 120665, App. 8/8/2012, Eff. 9/7/2012) SEC. 5. JUSTIFICATION. The characteristics of the Conservation District justifying its designation are as follows: (a) History of the District. The core of the New Montgomery-Mission-Second Street Conservation District is a product of the post-1906 reconstruction of downtown San Francisco. Rebuilt between 1906 and 1933 this district represents a collection of masonry commercial loft buildings that exhibit a high level of historic architectural integrity and create a cohesive district of two-to-eight story masonry buildings of similar scale, massing, setback, materials, fenestration pattern, style, and architectural detailing. This corridor forms one of the earliest attempts to extend the uses of the financial and retail districts to the South of Market area. Since Montgomery Street was the most important commercial street in the 1870's, New Montgomery Street was planned as a southern extension from Market Street to the Bay. Opposition from landowners south of Howard Street, however, prevented the street from reaching its original bayside destination. William Ralston, who was instrumental in the development of the new street, built the Grand Hotel and later the Palace Hotel at its Market Street intersection. A wall of large hotels on Market Street actually hindered the growth of New Montgomery Street and few retail stores and offices ventured south of Market Street. The unusually wide width of Market Street acted as a barrier between areas to the north and south for many years. A small number of office buildings were built on New Montgomery Street as far south as Atom Alley (now Natoma Street) after the fire. Many buildings were completed in 1907, and most of the street assumed its present character by 1914. At 74 New Montgomery Street, the Call newspaper established its first headquarters. A noteworthy addition to the streetscape was the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Building. At the time of its completion in 1925, it was the largest building on the West Coast devoted to the exclusive use of one firm. Until the 1960's, the office district on New Montgomery Street was the furthest extension of the financial district into the South of Market area. More characteristic were warehouses and businesses which supported the nearby office district. For example, the Furniture Exchange at the northwest corner of New Montgomery and Howard Streets, completed in 1920, was oriented to other wholesale and showroom uses along Howard Street. One block to the east, Second Street had a different history from New Montgomery Street. The future of Second Street as an extension of the downtown depended upon the southward extension of the street through the hill south of Howard Street. At one time there was even a proposal to extend Second Street north in order to connect with Montgomery Street. The decision to extend Montgomery Street south rather than Second Street north due to the high cost of the Second Street Cut, however, discouraged retail and office growth on the street. As a result, by the 1880's Second Street was established as a wholesaling rather than retail or office area. In the 1920's, Second Street contained a wide mixture of office support services. These included printers, binderies, a saddlery, a wholesale pharmaceutical outlet, and a variety of other retail stores and smaller offices. Industrial uses were commonly located on the alleyways such as Minna and Natoma and on Second Street, south of Howard Street. Howard Street between 1st and 3rd Street became a popular and convenient extension for retail and wholesale dealers after 1906. As with Mission Street, the area still contains a number of smaller commercial loft structures that represent some of the best examples within the district, such as the Volker Building at 625 Howard Street, the Crellin Building at 583 Howard Street, and the Sharon Estate Building at 667 Howard Street. The transformation of much of the area within the boundaries of the New Montgomery-Mission-Second Street Conservation District into a southerly extension of downtown was reflected in the large number of multi-story structures built along both Mission and Market streets. The intersection of 3rd and Mission evolved into the most important intersections in the survey area, bracketed on three corners by important early skyscrapers, including the rebuilt Aronson Building on the northwest corner, the Williams Buildings on the southeast corner, and the Gunst Building (demolished) on the southwest corner. (b) Basic Nature of the District. New Montgomery Street is characterized by large buildings th

on evolved into the most important intersections in the survey area, bracketed on three corners by important early skyscrapers, including the rebuilt Aronson Building on the northwest corner, the Williams Buildings on the southeast corner, and the Gunst Building (demolished) on the southwest corner. (b) Basic Nature of the District. New Montgomery Street is characterized by large buildings that often occupy an entire section of a block defined by streets and alleys or a major portion of these subblocks. The buildings are of a variety of heights, but the heights of most of the buildings range from five to eight stories. Second Street is characterized by smaller, less architecturally significant buildings, but, because of their continuous streetwall, they form a more coherent streetscape. Without some sort of protection for the less significant buildings, the quality of the district would be lost due to pressure from the expanding office core. (c) Architectural Character. Most of the contributing buildings are designed in the American Commercial Style and feature facades divided into a tripartite arrangement consisting of a base, shaft, and capital. Although the scale and size of the structures on New Montgomery Street are somewhat monumental, the area remains attractive for pedestrians. There are a number of outstanding buildings concentrated on New Montgomery, such as the Palace Hotel, the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Building tower, and the Sharon Building. Ornamentation of district contributors is most often Renaissance-Baroque with later examples of Spanish, Colonial, Gothic Revival Styles, and Art Deco. Examples of the styles range from the Gothic skyscraper massing and Art Deco detailing of the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Building to the Renaissance Palazzo style of the Palace Hotel. The primary building materials are earthtone bricks, stone or terra cotta, with ornamental details executed in a variety of materials including terra cotta, metal, stucco and stone. With the exceptions of corner buildings, Second Street, Mission and Howard Streets have a smaller, more intimate scale. While on New Montgomery Street, buildings typically occupy an entire subblock, on Second Street, three or four small buildings will occupy the same area. The buildings are generally mixed-use office and retail structures, two-to-seven stories in height, with Renaissance-influenced ornament. The two streets are unified by several elements, including an architectural vocabulary which draws from similar historical sources, similar materials, scale, fenestration, color, stylistic origins, texture, and ornament. (d) Uniqueness and Location. The District is located close to the central core of the financial district and is adjacent to an area projected for the future expansion. It is one of the few architecturally significant areas remaining largely intact in the South of Market area. (e) Visual and Functional Unity. The District has a varied character ranging from the small and intimate on the alley streets to a more monumental scale on New Montgomery. In spite of this wide range, the district forms a coherent entity due to the buildings' common architectural vocabulary and the rhythm of building masses created by the District's intersecting alleys. (f) Dynamic Continuity. The District is an active part of the downtown area, and after some years of neglect is undergoing reinvestment, which is visible in the rehabilitation of the Pacific Telephone Building, and the repair and rehabilitation of other buildings in the District. (g) Benefits to the City and Its Residents. The District is a microcosm of twentieth century commercial architecture, ranging from low-level speculative office blocks to the City's premier hotels and executive offices of the time. The District now houses a variety of uses from inexpensive restaurants and support commercial uses, such as printers, to executive offices. The area retains a comfortable human scale, which will become increasingly important as neighboring areas of the South of Market become more densely developed. (Added Ord. 414-85, App. 9/17/85; amended by Ord. 182-12 , File No. 120665, App. 8/8/2012, Eff. 9/7/2012) SEC. 6. FEATURES. The exterior architectural features of the New Montgomery-Mission-Second Street District are as follows: (a) Massing and Composition. Almost without exception, the buildings in the New Montgomery-Mission-Second Conservation District are built to the front property line and occupy the entire site. Most buildings are either square or rectangular in plan, some with interior light courts to allow sunlight and air into the interiors of buildings. Nearly all cover their entire parcels, and their primary facades face the street. Building massings along New Montgomery and Second Streets have different directional orientations. For the most part, the large buildings on New Montgomery Street are horizontally oriented, since they are built on relatively large lots, often occupying an entire blockface. Their horizontal width often exceeds their height. The buildings on Second Street are built on much smaller lots, and hence have a vertical orientation. An exception on New Montgomery is the tower of the Pacific Telephone and

Telegraph Building, whose soaring verticality is unique for that street. To express the mass and weight of the structure, masonry materials are used on multi-dimensional wall surfaces with texture and depth, which simulates the qualities necessary to support the weight of a load-bearing wall. Despite their differing orientation, almost all buildings share a two or three-part compositional arrangement. In addition, buildings are often divided into bays which establish a steady rhythm along the streets of the District. The rhythm is the result of fenestration, structural articulation or other detailing which breaks the facade into discrete segments. A common compositional device in the District is the emphasis placed upon either the end bays or the central bay. (b) Scale. More than two-thirds of the contributing buildings are three-to-eight story brick or concrete commercial loft buildings constructed during the five years after the 1906 Earthquake and Fire. The scale of the District varies from the small buildings on Howard, Mission, Natoma, and Second Streets, such as the Phoenix Desk Company Building at 666 Mission Street, the Burdette Building at 90 Second Street, and the Emerison Flag Company Building at 161 Natoma Street; to medium-scaled structures on Mission and New Montgomery Streets, such as the Veronica Building at 647 Mission Street, and the Standard Building at 111 New Montgomery Street; to large-scale buildings on New Montgomery Street, such as the Pacific Telephone and Telegraph Building at 140 New Montgomery. On New Montgomery Street, the large facades are not commonly divided into smaller bays, establishing a medium scale when combined with the five- to eight-story height of the buildings. Similarly, the use of elaborate ornament on many of the buildings breaks their large facades into smaller sections and accordingly reduces their scale. Second Street is characterized by much smaller buildings with more frequent use of vertical piers whose scale is very intimate for the South of Market area. (c) Materials and Color. Various forms of masonry are the predominant building materials in the district. A number of buildings on the northern end of New Montgomery use brown or buff brick. Terra cotta is also used as a facing material, and is frequently glazed to resemble granite or other stones. On Second and Mission Streets, several buildings are faced in stucco. To express the mass and weight of the structure, masonry materials are often rusticated at the ground and second story to increase the textural variation and sense of depth. Several buildings along Howard Street are noteworthy because they are clad in brick in warm earth tones, exhibit fine masonry craftsmanship, and remain unpainted. The materials are generally colored light or medium earth tones, including white, cream, buff, yellow, and brown. Individual buildings generally use a few different tones of one color. (d) Detailing and Ornamentations. Buildings range from industrial brick and stucco office/warehouses to ornately decorated office buildings. The details on the latter buildings are generally of Classical/Renaissance derivation and include projecting cornices and belt courses, rustication, columns and colonnades, and arches. Industrial commercial buildings are noted by their utilitarian nature, with limited areas or ornament applied at the cornice entablature and around windows.

(a) Standards. All construction of new buildings and all major alterations, which are subject to the provisions of Sections 1110, 1111 through 1111.6 and 1113, shall be compatible with the District in general with respect to the building's composition and massing, scale, materials and colors, and detailing and ornamentation, including those features described in Section 6 of this Appendix. Emphasis shall be placed on compatibility with those buildings in the area in which the new or altered building is located. In the case of major alterations, only those building characteristics that are affected by the proposed alteration shall be considered in assessing compatibility. Signs on buildings in conservation districts are subject to the provisions of Section 1111.7. The foregoing standards do not require, or even encourage, new buildings to imitate the styles of the past. Rather, they require the new to be compatible with the old. The determination of compatibility shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 309. (b) Guidelines. The guidelines in this subsection shall be used in assessing compatibility. (1) Composition and Massing. New construction should maintain the character of surrounding buildings by relating to their prevailing height, mass, proportions, rhythm and composition. In addition to the consideration of sunlight access for the street, an appropriate streetwall height is established by reference to the prevailing height of the buildings on the block and especially that of adjacent buildings. The prevailing height of buildings on New Montgomery Street is between five and eight stories while buildings on Second Street commonly range from three to six stories. A setback at the streetwall height can permit additional height above the setback up to the height limit without breaking the continuity of the street wall. Almost all existing buildings are built to the property or street line. This pattern, except in the case of carefully selected open spaces, should not be broken since it could damage the continuity of building rhythms and the definition of streets. Proportions for new buildings should be established by the prevailing streetwall height and the width of existing buildings. On New Montgomery Street, the historic pattern of large lot

the property or street line. This pattern, except in the case of carefully selected open spaces, should not be broken since it could damage the continuity of building rhythms and the definition of streets. Proportions for new buildings should be established by the prevailing streetwall height and the width of existing buildings. On New Montgomery Street, the historic pattern of large lot development permits new buildings to have a horizontal orientation. In order to ensure that an established set of proportions is maintained on Second Street, new construction should break up facades into discrete elements that relate to prevailing building masses. The use of smaller bays and multiple building entrances are ways in which to relate the proportions of a new building with those of existing buildings. The design of a new structure should repeat the prevailing pattern of two- and three-part vertical compositions. One-part buildings without bases do not adequately define the pedestrian streetscape and do not relate well to the prevailing two- and three-part structures. (2) Scale. The existing scale can be accomplished in a variety of ways, including: a consistent use of size and complexity of detailing with regard to surrounding buildings, continuance of existing bay widths, maintenance of the existing streetwall height, and the use of a base element (of similar height) to maintain the pedestrian environment. Large wall surfaces, which increase a building's scale, should be broken up through the use of vertical piers, detailing and textural variation to reduce the scale of Second Street. Existing fenestration (windows, entrances) and rhythms which have been established by lot width or bay width should be repeated in new structures. The spacing and size of window openings should follow the sequence set by historic structures. Large glass areas should be broken up by mullions so that the scale of glazed areas is compatible with that of neighboring buildings. Casement and double-hung windows should be used where possible since most existing buildings use these window types. (3) Materials and Colors. The use of masonry and stone materials or materials that appear similar (such as substituting concrete for stone) can link two disparate structures, or harmonize the appearance of a new structure with the architectural character of a Conservation District. The preferred surface materials for this District are brick, stone, terra cotta and concrete (simulated to look like terra cotta or stone). The texture of surfaces can be treated in a manner so as to emphasize the bearing function of the material, as is done with rustication on the Rialto Building. Traditional light colors should be used in order to blend in with the character of the district. Dissimilar buildings may be made more compatible by using similar or harmonious colors, and to a lesser extent, by using similar textures. (4) Detailing and Ornamentation. A new building should relate to the surrounding area by picking up elements from surrounding buildings and repeating them or developing them for new purposes. The new structure should incorporate prevailing cornice lines or belt courses. A variety of Renaissance/Baroque, Gothic and Moderne ornament in the District provides sources for detailing in new buildings in order to strengthen their relationship. Similarly shaped forms can be used as detailing without directly copying historical ornament.

APPENDIX G TO ARTICLE 11 COMMERCIAL-LEIDESDORFF CONSERVATION DISTRICT SEC. 1. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES. It is hereby found that the area known and described in this Appendix as the Commercial-Leidesdorff area is a Subarea within the C-3 District that possesses concentrations of buildings that together create a Subarea of architectural quality and importance which contributes to the beauty and attractiveness of the City. It is further found that the area meets the standards for designation of a Conservation District as set forth in Section 1103 of Article 11 and that the designation of said area as a Conservation District will be in furtherance of and in conformance with the purposes of Article 11 of the City Planning Code. This designation is intended to promote the health, safety, prosperity and welfare of the people of the City through the effectuation of the purposes set forth in Section 1101 of Article 11 and the maintenance of the scale and character of the Commercial-Leidesdorff area by: (a) The protection and preservation of the basic characteristics and salient architectural details of structures insofar as these characteristics and details are compatible with the Conservation District; (b) Providing scope for the continuing vitality of the District through private renewal and architectural creativity, within appropriate controls and standards. It is intended to foster a climate in which the Commercial-Leidesdorff area may continue to exist as an important part of the City's commercial base, providing a quiet contrast to the bustle of the rest of the Financial District; and (c) Encouragement of the continued intensive use of the District by financial district workers during the noon hours. (Added Ord. 414-85, App. 9/17/85) SEC. 2. DESIGNATION. Pursuant to Section 1103.1 of Article 11, of the City Planning Code (Part II, Chapter XI of the San Francisco Municipal Code), the Commercial-Leidesdorff area is hereby designated as a Conservation District. (Added Ord. 414-85, App. 9/17/85) SEC. 3. LOCATION AND BOUNDARIES. The location and boundaries of the Commercial-Leidesdorff District shall be as designated on the Commercial-Leidesdorff Conservation District Map, the original of which is on file with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors under File No. 223-84-4, which Map is hereby incorporated herein as though fully set forth, and a facsimile of which is reproduced hereinbelow. (Added Ord. 414-85, App. 9/17/85) SEC. 4. RELATION TO CITY PLANNING CODE. (a) Article 11 of the City Planning Code is the basic law governing preservation of buildings and districts of architectural importance in the C-3 District of the City and County of San Francisco. This Appendix is subject to and in addition to the provisions thereof. (b) Except as may be specifically provided to the contrary in this Code, nothing in this Appendix shall supersede, impair or modify any City Planning Code provisions applicable to property in the Commercial-Leidesdorff Conservation District, including, but not limited to, regulations controlling uses, height, bulk, coverage, floor area ratio, required open space, off- street parking, and signs. (Added Ord. 414-85, App. 9/17/85) SEC. 5. JUSTIFICATION.

The characteristics of the Conservation District justifying its designation are as follows: (a) History of the District. In the 1840's, Montgomery Street (where Captain Jack Montgomery landed) was the wharfside street of the new City. During the Gold Rush a few years later, the new street running parallel with the extended shoreline was named after William Alexander Leidesdorff, the owner of a warehouse at the water's edge. Commercial Street, originally one block between Kearny and Montgomery Streets, grew to the east as land was filled around the Long Wharf. The first relocation of financial offices in the downtown happened when banks moved their offices, which had been at Portsmouth Square, to the intersection of Montgomery and Commercial Streets. Since that time, Montgomery Street has been the financial center for San Francisco. While financial uses gradually moved south on Montgomery Street towards Market Street in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, by the 1920's, the banking center was reestablished in the vicinity of Montgomery and California Streets. The completion of the Pacific Gas and Electric Substation at the corner of Sacramento and Leidesdorff Street in 1923, largely completed the redevelopment of the Commercial- Leidesdorff District. Buildings along Montgomery Street such as the Bank of Italy Building and the former Bank of Canton Building retained the scale of the pre-fire city. A classical design was used for these banking temples in order to impress the public with the soundness and stability of the bank. The Bank of America (then known as the Bank of Italy) had its headquarters located in the District for many years. While Montgomery Street has historically been the preferred address for major banks and offices, Commercial and Leidesdorff Streets contained a wide variety of uses which found it convenient to be located near the office district. In the 19th century, Leidesdorff Street connected the A. Paladini Fish Market on Clay Street with the San Francisco Chamber of Commerce on Pine. In the 1920's, these streets boasted several printers and binderies, a cigar factory (554 Commercial), photoengravers, a chemical storage warehouse as well as a paints, oils and varnish business. (b) Basic Nature of the District. The special character of this block is created by the intersection of Commercial and Leidesdorff Streets, dividing the block into quadrants. The northeast quadrant of the block has been developed by a highrise of insensitive scale and design and was therefore excluded from this District. The remaining three quadrants of the Conservation District remain intact. The small size of the parcels determines narrow width of the buildings. Focusing on the intersection of the two alleys, the District is a quiet area contrasting with the intensity of the Financial District. Because of the small scale, presence of sunshine, and variety of restaurants, this area is extremely popular at lunchtime. (c) Architectural Character. The character of the area is established by a number of buildings of outstanding merit serving as anchors for the District. The contributory buildings are of relatively high quality and are unusually supportive of the District's character. A wide variety of styles exists in the small district, including Classical banking temples, three Pacific Gas and Electric substations with Romanesque and Classical ornament, and one of the more unique Gothic-ornamented structures in the downtown. This collection of styles creates rich visual interest within a concentrated pedestrian environment. (d) Uniqueness and Location. The area is located on the northern edge of the Financial District and is separated from the Jackson Square Historic District by the Transamerica Pyramid. The District is readily accessible from Chinatown, North Beach and Telegraph Hill, as well as the downtown adjacent development. There are no inappropriate modern structures located within its boundaries. Alterations to the ground story have generally been sympathetic to both the character of the district and the buildings themselves. (e) Visual and Functional Unity. The character of the area is one of a common small scale and intimacy created by its intersecting alleys, small lots, masonry structures and buildings with classically derived ornament. Commercial Street links the area to surrounding older development, with views down Commercial Street to the Ferry Building tower in one direction, and to Chinatown in the other direction. The narrowness of the alley and small scale of its buildings makes the district attractive to pedestrians. (f) Dynamic Continuity. The District is a center for restaurants catering to a lunch and after-work clientele. In addition to its entertainment functions, banking, office, retail and industrial uses insure a healthy and productive mix of activities throughout the day. (g) Benefits to the City and its Residents. The District provides a variety of older buildings incorporating space for commercial uses. The area serves as an architectural resource for its concentration of early 20th Century architecture. (Added Ord. 414-85, App. 9/17/85) SEC. 6. FEATURES. The exterior architectural features of the Commercial-Leidesdorff District are as follows: (a) Massing and Composition. For the most part, the buildings are two- or three-part vertical compositions consisting either of a base and a shaft, or a base, a shaft and a capital. The District has a number of low, one-part buildings. These are banking temples and the Pacific, Gas and Electric substations. Some of the smaller buildings use central entryways to create a symmetrical composition. These designs relate well to their context, largely because the narrow streets do not demand a high building or one with multiple parts to maintain a street enclosure. In addition, buildings are often divided into bays expressing the structure. This w

emples and the Pacific, Gas and Electric substations. Some of the smaller buildings use central entryways to create a symmetrical composition. These designs relate well to their context, largely because the narrow streets do not demand a high building or one with multiple parts to maintain a street enclosure. In addition, buildings are often divided into bays expressing the structure. This was accomplished through fenestration, structural articulation or other detailing which serves to break the facade into discrete segments. A common compositional device in the district is an emphasis placed upon either the end bays or the central bay, creating a varied facade. Lots are narrow and shallow, typically 20 feet X 60 feet, encouraging a predominant building form of from one to four stories. Buildings up to eight stories on Montgomery Street reflect its function as a prime financial office address. Almost without exception, the buildings in the Commercial-Leidesdorff Conservation District are built to the front property line and occupy the entire site. A number of buildings have "L"-shaped massing or through-block lots with frontages on two streets. This reflects the high land values of this District at the time of construction, and the function of the alleys for building service access. (b) Scale. The buildings are of small scale, created by elaborate detailing and low height. A major influence on scale is the degree to which the total facade plane is broken into smaller parts. Window and door openings are relatively small, creating large wall areas, which are frequently heavily ornamented. The bay width is generally from 15 feet to 20 feet. The narrow spacing between the vertical elements creates a regular rhythm. As noted above, the wider frontages are often broken up by articulation of the facade, making the buildings appear narrower. Heights generally range from one to four stories on lots 20 feet to 30 feet wide, although a few taller and wider buildings exist. The base is generally delineated from the rest of the building, giving the District an intimate scale at the street. The alleys are only 30 feet to 36 feet wide, creating an intimate scale. Sacramento Street, the narrowest major street in the downtown at 49 feet, also enhances this small scale. (c) Materials and Colors. Buildings are either clad in masonry over a supporting structure, or are constructed of masonry with load-bearing walls. The cladding materials include brick, terra cotta, stucco, and stone. The buildings fronting on the alleys use materials with rough surface treatments, reflecting the buildings' utilitarian nature. Wood, metal, and metal panels are not commonly used facade materials in the District, although painted wood and metal are sometimes used for window sash and ornament. The materials are generally colored of light or medium earth tones, including cream, buff, yellow, grey, and brown. Individual buildings generally use a few different tones of one color, highlighting the ornament. Dark or intense colors are not commonly used. (d) Detailing and Ornamentation. The buildings are not constructed in a single style, but with ornament drawn from a variety of historical sources, primarily classical sources. Arcades and arched entryways are common elements in the buildings. Popular details include arches, columns, pilasters, projecting bracketed cornices, multiple belt-courses, elaborate lintels, and pediments. Details were used to relate buildings to their neighbors by repeating and varying the ornament used in the surrounding structures. (Added Ord. 414-85, App. 9/17/85) SEC. 7. STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES FOR REVIEW OF NEW CONSTRUCTION AND CERTAIN ALTERATIONS. (a) Standards. All construction of new buildings and all major alterations, which are subject to the provisions of Sections 1110, 1111 through 1111.6 and 1113, shall be compatible with the District in general with respect to the building's composition and massing, scale, materials and colors, and detailing and ornamentation, including those features described in Section 6 of this Appendix. Emphasis shall be placed on compatibility with those buildings in the area in which the new or altered building is located. In the case of major alterations, only those building characteristics that are affected by the proposed alteration shall be considered in assessing compatibility. Signs on the buildings in Conservation Districts are subject to the provisions of Section 1111.7. The foregoing standards do not require, or even encourage, new buildings to imitate the styles of the past. Rather, they require the new to be compatible with the old. The determination of compatibility shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 309. (b) Guidelines. The guidelines in this subsection are to be used in assessing compatibility. (1) Composition and Massing. New construction should maintain the character of the District by relating to the prevailing height, mass, proportions, rhythm and composition of existing historic buildings.

The height and massing of new buildings should not alter the traditional scale of existing buildings, streets and open spaces. On the interior of the block, the existing streetwall height should be maintained. An appropriate streetwall height is established by reference to the prevailing building height on the block and especially that of adjacent buildings. If the adjacent buildings are of a significantly different height than the rest of the buildings on the block, then the prevailing height of buildings on the block should be used as a guide. A setback at the streetwall height can permit additional height above the setback without breaking the continuity of the street wall. On blockfronts where the street wall is less well-defined, greater latitude in height may be allowed. Most existing buildings are built to the property or street line. This pattern should not be broken since it could damage the continuity of building rhythms and the definition of streets. The standard proportions of new buildings should be established by the prevailing streetwall height and width of lots. Lot assembly should be discouraged to maintain the existing lot pattern and building proportions. In cases where lot assembly does occur, it is necessary to break up the facades of new buildings into discrete elements that relate to prevailing building proportions. The use of smaller bays is a way in which to relate the proportions of a new building with those of historic buildings. The design of a new structure should repeat the prevailing pattern of two- and three-part vertical compositions, although low buildings could use a one-part vertical division. A base element is necessary to define the pedestrian environment. Alterations to existing structures should maintain the existing vertical and horizontal divisions, and should respect the original ground story enframement. Cornices and belt courses should not be removed or altered. (2) Scale. The existing scale of the immediate area and the Conservation District should be maintained. This can be accomplished in a variety of ways, including: a consistent use of size and complexity of detailing in regards to surrounding buildings, continuance of existing bay widths, maintenance of an existing streetwall height, and incorporation of a base element (of similar height to existing bases) to maintain the pedestrian environment. Large wall surfaces, which increase a building's scale, should be broken up through the use of detailing and textural variation to reduce the scale. Existing fenestration (windows, entrances) rhythms and proportions which have been established by lot width or bay width should be repeated in new structures. The spacing and size of window openings should follow the sequence set by historic structures. Large glass areas should be broken up by mullions so that the scale of glazed areas is compatible with that of neighboring buildings. Casement and double-hung windows should be used where possible. (3) Materials and Colors. The use of like materials can relate two buildings of obviously different eras and styles. Similarly, the use of materials that appear similar (such as substituting concrete for terra cotta) can link two disparate structures, or harmonize the appearance of a new structure with the architectural character of a conservation district. The preferred surface materials for this district are brick, terra cotta, stone, and concrete (simulated to look like terra cotta or stone). The texture of surfaces can be treated in a manner so as to emphasize the bearing function of the material, as is done in rustication on historic buildings. In addition, in some cases it may be appropriate to leave the surface roughly dressed, emphasizing the utilitarian character of the interior frontages. Traditional light colors should be used in order to blend in with the character of the district. Dissimilar buildings may be made more compatible by using similar or harmonious colors, and, to a lesser extent, by using similar textures. (4) Detailing and Ornamentation. A new building should relate to the surrounding area by picking up elements from surrounding buildings and repeating them or developing them for new purposes. An ornamental detail can be taken from an adjacent building and used in a new building to relate the latter to the surrounding area. Alternately, similarly shaped forms can be used without directly copying historical ornament. The new structure should incorporate prevailing cornice lines or belt courses and may use a modern vernacular instead of that of the original model. (Added Ord. 414-85, App. 9/17/85) SEC. 8.

Pursuant to Section 1103.1 of Article 11, of the City Planning Code (Part II, Chapter II of the San Francisco Municipal Code), the Front-California area is hereby designated as a Conservation District. (Added Ord. 414-85, App. 9/17/85) SEC. 3. LOCATION AND BOUNDARIES. The location and boundaries of the Front-California Conservation District shall be as designated on the Front-California Conservation District Map, the original of which is on file with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors under File No. 223-84-4, which Map is hereby incorporated herein as though fully set forth, and a facsimile of which is reproduced below. (Added Ord. 414-85, App. 9/17/85) SEC. 4. RELATION TO CITY PLANNING CODE. (a) Article 11 of the City Planning Code is the basic law governing preservation of buildings and districts of architectural and environmental importance in the C-3 District of the City and County of San Francisco. This Appendix is subject to and in addition to the provisions thereof. (b) Except as may be specifically provided to the contrary in this Code, nothing in this Appendix shall supersede, impair or modify any City Planning Code provisions applicable to property in the Front-California Conservation District including, but not limited to, regulations controlling uses, height, bulk, coverage, floor area ratio, required open space, off-street parking and signs. (Added Ord. 414-85, App. 9/17/85) SEC. 5. JUSTIFICATION. The characteristics of the Conservation District justifying its designation are as follows: (a) History of the District. Located to the east of the financial district on filled land, this District was outside of the major downtown growth corridors in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The location of the Federal Reserve Bank on Battery Street and the construction of several office buildings (Southern Pacific, Matson) in the 1920's, linked the financial district with port-oriented buildings on lower California and Market Streets. While office uses have been located on California Street since 1906, the area east of Battery Street was not fully integrated into the financial district until 1920, when the street assumed its present character. The development of Front Street proceeded at a slower pace and was not complete until the 1930's. Front Street was redeveloped after the fire, with warehouses and industrial buildings serving the produce district to the north and office support services serving the office core to the west and on California Street. Buildings on Front Street commonly contained stores and offices at the ground level while upper stories were used for stock purposes and general storage. Several offices and printers were also located on the street. (b) Basic Nature of the District. The low height and small scale of this District create a contrast to the rest of the financial district and the adjacent Embarcadero Center. The District still retains its post-fire appearance, as most of the architecturally significant buildings were constructed in the short period from 1907 through 1918. Six of the District's 19 buildings are architecturally significant and six are contributory to the District. Only seven buildings are unrated. The low buildings on Front Street and the narrow lot widths create an open, sunlit streetscape. Because of the character of the District and its proximity to the financial district, a variety of commercial (especially retail) enterprises serve pedestrians from the surrounding financial district. The scale of the California Street buildings is kept low by Halleck Street, which runs parallel to California and limits the lot size on that street. The street also divides Front in half on the west side, enhancing the small scale of that block. (c) Architectural Character. Although the Front Street buildings are lower and of lesser quality than the California Street buildings, similar design elements in the buildings tie them together to form a coherent entity. The buildings on Front Street are generally in the two- to four-story range, while most of the buildings on California Street are in the four- to seven-story range. The buildings' ornament is generally derived from Renaissance sources and the buildings employ similar scale, height, fenestration, texture, and materials. (d) Uniqueness and Location. This district, along with the nearby Commercial-Leidesdorff District, forms one of the last small-scale areas with architecturally significant buildings in the northern section of the financial district. It provides a low-intensity contrast to the dense office core and the Embarcadero Center development. (e) Visual and Functional Unity. The District forms a coherent entity. Outside the boundary, the older buildings become larger and are interspersed with more modern structures. The similar character and scale of the buildings unify the District. (f) Dynamic Continuity. The area has demonstrated economic viability evidenced by its mix of active retail and commercial uses. (g) Benefits to the City and Its Residents. The District provides a variety of retail and commercial uses in small older structures. The area is an architectural resource for its collection of small industrial buildings. The Distri

buildings unify the District. (f) Dynamic Continuity. The area has demonstrated economic viability evidenced by its mix of active retail and commercial uses. (g) Benefits to the City and Its Residents. The District provides a variety of retail and commercial uses in small older structures. The area is an architectural resource for its collection of small industrial buildings. The District still retains the scale and character, if not the actual Victorian buildings, of the pre-fire commercial district. (Added Ord. 414-85, App. 9/17/85) SEC. 6. FEATURES. The exterior architectural features of the Front-California District are as follows: (a) Scale, Form, and Proportion. The buildings in this District are of a variety of heights, ranging from one story to 11 stories. Unlike other districts which have a prevailing streetwall height, this District has a varied streetwall height, allowing sunlight to penetrate to the street most of the day. Lot widths range from 25 feet to 60 feet, lot depths range from 60 feet to 140 feet. (b) Materials, Color, Texture. Facade materials include exposed brick, stucco, metal, and terra cotta panels. Colors include white, grey masonry and terra cotta, red brick, and deep reds and greens. The texture of the buildings varies from smooth stucco to richly textured and ornamented terra cotta panels. (c) Details. Building styles range from utilitarian brick industrial with decorative brickwork to ornate Renaissance Revival buildings. Details include glazed brickwork, arches, decorated spandrels, projecting cornices and belt courses, pilasters, and rustication. (Added Ord. 414-85, App. 9/17/85) SEC. 7. STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES FOR REVIEW OF NEW CONSTRUCTION AND CERTAIN ALTERATIONS. (a) Standards. All construction of new buildings and all major alterations, which are subject to the provisions of Sections 1110, 1111 through 1111.6 and 1113, shall be compatible with the District in general with respect to the building's composition and massing, scale, materials and colors, and detailing and ornamentation, including those features described in Section 6 of this Appendix. Emphasis shall be placed on compatibility with those buildings in the area in which the new or altered building is located. In the case of major alterations, only those building characteristics that are affected by the proposed alteration shall be considered in assessing compatibility. Signs on buildings in Conservation Districts are subject to the provisions of Section 1111.7. The foregoing standards do not require, or even encourage, new buildings to imitate the styles of the past. Rather, they require the new to be compatible with the old. The determination of compatibility shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 309.

(b) Guidelines. The guidelines in this subsection are to be used in assessing compatibility. (1) Composition and Massing. New construction should maintain the character of both Front and California Streets by relating to the prevailing height, mass, proportions, rhythm and composition of historic buildings. The height and massing of new buildings should not alter the traditional scale of existing buildings, streets and open spaces. Since buildings on California Street commonly range from five to eight stories, new buildings should relate to those heights. Similarly, new buildings on Front Street should relate to the existing pattern of buildings under five stories in height. A setback at the predominant streetwall height can permit additional height above the setback without breaking the continuity of the streetwall. Almost all existing buildings are built to the property or street line. This pattern, except in the case of carefully selected open spaces, should not be broken since it could damage the continuity of building rhythms and the definitions of streets. Vertical and horizontal proportions for new buildings should be established by heights of existing streetwall and the width of existing buildings (and lots). Due to the regular rhythm of small structures on Front Street, a new building which is built on a large site should break up its facade into discrete sections that relate to the small building masses. This can be best accomplished through the use of vertical piers and separate entrances for the different sections. However, the slightly larger lots on California Street would allow buildings to have greater horizontal dimensions as well as greater heights. The use of smaller bays is another way in which to relate the proportions of a new building with those of historic buildings. The design of a new structure should also repeat the prevailing pattern of two- and three-part vertical compositions. One-part buildings without base sections do not adequately define the pedestrian streetscape and do not relate well to the historic two- and three-part structures. This division of a building allows flexibility in the design of the ground story while encouraging a uniform treatment of the upper stories. (2) Scale. The existing scale of the Front-California Conservation District is one of its most important assets and should be maintained. This can be accomplished by the consistent use of size and complexity of detailing in relation to surrounding buildings. In addition, the continuance of existing bay widths and the incorporation of a base element (of similar height) help to maintain the pedestrian environment. Especially on Front Street, large wall surfaces, which increase a building's scale, should be broken up through the use of detailing and textural variation to reduce the scale. Existing fenestration (windows, entrances) rhythms and proportions which have been established by lot width or bay width should be repeated in new structures. The spacing and size of window openings should follow the sequence set by historic structures. Most glass areas should be broken up by mullions so that the scale of glazed areas is compatible with that the neighboring buildings. Casement and double-hung windows should be used where possible. (3) Materials and Colors. The use of historic materials or those that appear similar (such as substituting concrete for stone) can link two disparate structures, or harmonize the appearance of a new structure with the architectural character of a Conservation District. The preferred surface materials for this district are brick, stone and concrete (simulated to look like terra cotta or stone). Traditional light colors should be used in order to blend in with the character of the District. Dissimilar buildings may be made more compatible by using similar or harmonious colors, and to a lesser extent, by using similar textures. (4) Detailing and Ornamentation. A new building should relate to the surrounding area by picking up elements from surrounding buildings and repeating them or developing them for new purposes. Since most buildings on Front Street are not extensively detailed, new structures should incorporate prevailing cornice lines or belt courses. On California Street, the historic details of existing buildings can serve as models for detailing in new buildings in order to strengthen their relationship. Alternately, similarly shaped ornament can be used as detailing without directly copying historical ornament. (Added Ord. 414-85, App. 9/17/85) SEC. 8. TDR; ELIGIBILITY OF CATEGORY V BUILDINGS. Category V Buildings in the California-Front District are eligible for the transfer of TDR as provided in Section 1109(c). (Added Ord. 414-85, App. 9/17/85)

APPENDIX I TO ARTICLE 11 KEARNY-BELDEN CONSERVATION DISTRICT SEC. 1. FINDINGS AND PURPOSES.

In addition, this designation is intended to preserve the scale and character of the Kearny-Belden area by: (a) The protection and preservation of the basic characteristics and salient architectural details of structures insofar as these characteristics and details are compatible with the Conservation District; (b) Providing scope for the continuing vitality of the District through private renewal and architectural creativity, within appropriate controls and standards; (c) Encouragement of the continued intensive use of the District by financial district workers during the noon hours. (Added Ord. 414-85, App. 9/17/85) SEC. 2. DESIGNATION. Pursuant to Section 1103.1 of Article 11 of the City Planning Code (Part II, Chapter XI of the San Francisco Municipal Code), the Kearny-Belden area is hereby designated as a Conservation District. (Added Ord. 414-85, App. 9/17/85) SEC. 3. LOCATION AND BOUNDARIES. The location and boundaries of the Kearny-Belden Conservation District shall be as designated on the Kearny-Belden Conservation District Map, the original of which is on file with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors under File No. 223-84-4, which Map is hereby incorporated herein as though fully set forth, and a facsimile of which is reproduced herein below. (Added Ord. 414-85, App. 9/17/85) SEC. 4. RELATION TO CITY PLANNING CODE. (a) Article 11 of the City Planning Code is the basic law governing preservation of buildings and districts of architectural importance in the C-3 District of the City and County of San Francisco. This Appendix is subject to and in addition to the provisions thereof. (b) Except as may be specifically provided to the contrary in this Code, nothing in this Appendix shall supersede, impair or modify any City Planning provisions applicable to property in the Kearny-Belden Conservation District, including, but not limited to, regulations controlling uses, height, bulk, coverage, floor area ratio, required open space, off-street parking, and signs. (Added Ord. 414-85, App. 9/17/85) SEC. 5. JUSTIFICATION. The characteristics of the Conservation District justifying its designation are as follows: (a) History of the District. In the nineteenth century, private alleys were cut to permit access to the interiors of blocks, allowing more intensive development than would otherwise have been possible. In this immediate area, the blocks were typically cut by one or more alleys. Some of these, like Belden Street and St. George Alley, still exist. Others, such as Lick Alley and Summer Alley, have been incorporated into new developments. Thus, the character of this District was established when Belden Street was cut through between Pine and Bush Streets. Belden Street is one of the best remaining examples of the development pattern of the pre-fire era. Buildings along Kearny, Bush and Pine Streets were completed several years before the small structures on the interior portion of Belden Alley. Since the District was only a few blocks south of Portsmouth Square, Kearny Street had a large number of businesses serving both nearby residents as well as mercantile and port activities. As the City grew in the 1870's, Kearny Street became the most fashionable retail street in the City. Yet, by the turn of the century, the movement of retail stores to Market Street and the Union Square/Grant Avenue area eclipsed Kearny Street's prominence. After the fire of 1906, Kearny Street found itself located between the financial and retail districts. By 1931, Kearny Street was a low-rent area of small stores and hotels. Some support uses for nearby Montgomery Street found Kearny a convenient location and printers, sign painters and some offices located on the street. While Belden Street was originally a service alley, restaurants located on the small street during the 1920's and 1930's. (b) Basic Nature of the District. The District consists of the east side of the 300 block of Kearny Street and the buildings which front on Belden Street, which runs parallel to Kearny. The depth of the lots is from 40 to 60 feet, which has served as an effective limit on the height and scale of the buildings. The District has become the location for a number of small, moderately priced restaurants and the Belden Street right-of-way is closed down during the lunch hours to create a pedestrian mall which is heavily used. During this time, restaurants move tables out into the street for open-air dining. In addition, street trees have been planted and benches installed. (c) Architectural Character. The District has only a few individual buildings of outstanding quality. Its unique quality is based on its character, rather than its examples of outstanding architecture. The District is also important as an example of historic building and development patterns. The District is expressive of the different requirements of the street frontages. The character of the District is maintained by the small-scale, red brick structures on Belden Street, often utilitarian in character, with minimal ornament. The facades fronting on Kearny Street are more elaborate, with ornament derived from Renaissance sources. (d) Uniqueness and Location. The District is almost entirely intact, except for one unsympathetically remodeled building. Alterations to the lower stories have generally been compatible with the District, and in recent years commercial alterations have been effected more compatible with the character of the District. The area is located on the edges of the Financial and Retail Districts, and at the foot of Nob Hill eastern slope. (e) Visual and Functional Unity. The character of the area is determined by the use of a consistent scale, fenestration, materials, colors, and style.

the District, and in recent years commercial alterations have been effected more compatible with the character of the District. The area is located on the edges of the Financial and Retail Districts, and at the foot of Nob Hill eastern slope. (e) Visual and Functional Unity. The character of the area is determined by the use of a consistent scale, fenestration, materials, colors, and style. (f) Dynamic Continuity. The District supplies a variety of services to the working population of the downtown area. The shops and restaurants are active and thriving. (g) Benefits to the City and Its Residents. The district provides a variety of retail and commercial uses, including moderately priced restaurants and an attractive setting in which to enjoy lunch. The restaurants generally locate in small, older structures. The area serves as a respite from the dense financial district to the east. (Added Ord. 414-85, App. 9/17/85) SEC. 6. FEATURES. The exterior architectural features of the Kearny-Belden District are as follows: (a) Massing and Composition. The Kearny Street facades are elaborate designs, while the Belden Street facades are utilitarian in character. The treatment of the facades reflects the differing character of the streets. Kearny Street is a major pedestrian and vehicular corridor, and a prime shopping street. For the most part, the Kearny Street facades are two- or three-part vertical compositions consisting either of a base and a shaft, or a base, a shaft and a capital. Belden Street is a narrow alley, originally created to allow access to the interior of the block. The facades on Belden Street are largely unornamented, perhaps with a corbelled cornice or a decorative tile roof. The compositions are simple one-part structures from one to four stories high. There are a few small stucco buildings, probably built as warehouses. These designs are successful in maintaining the street enclosure, largely because the narrow widths of the streets do not demand a high building or one with multiple parts. In addition, the Kearny Street facades are often divided into bays expressing the structure. This was accomplished through fenestration, structural articulation or other detailing which serves to break the facade into discrete segments. Both the scale and height of the buildings in the District are extremely small, a result of the lot and street patterns. The lot depth is generally under 60 feet, and half the lots have frontages on Kearny and Belden Streets. As a consequence of the limited size of lots, most of the buildings are limited to four stories or less. A number of the buildings are only one story high. Without exception, the buildings in the Kearny-Belden Conservation District are built to the front property line and occupy the entire site. (b) Scale. The buildings are of small scale, created by the buildings' elaborate detailing and low height. A major influence on scale is the degree to which the total facade plane is broken into smaller parts which relate to human scale. Window and door openings are relatively small, creating large wall areas, which are frequently heavily ornamented. The bay width is generally from 15 feet to 20 feet. Heights generally range from one to four stories on lots 20 feet to 30 feet wide, although a few taller and wider buildings exist. As noted above, the wider frontages are often broken up by articulation of the facade, making the buildings appear narrower. On the Kearny Street facades, the base is generally delineated from the rest of the

building, giving the district an intimate scale at the street. (c) Materials and Colors. Buildings are either clad in masonry over a supporting structure, or are constructed of masonry with load-bearing walls. The cladding materials include brick, terra cotta, and stucco. Materials have rough surface treatments, especially those located on the alleys, reflecting the building's utilitarian nature. Wood, metal, and metal panels are not commonly used facade materials in the District, although painted wood and metal are sometimes used for window sash and ornament. The materials are generally colored of light or medium earth tones, including cream, buff, yellow and red. Individual buildings generally use a few different tones of one color, highlighting the ornament. Dark or intense colors are not commonly used. The Belden Street facades are simply treated wall surfaces, with little expression of weight or mass from wall articulation. The small unit of the brick creates a textured facade, and reduces the scale of the undifferentiated facades. (d) Detailing and Ornamentation. The Kearny Street frontages are not constructed in a single style, but with ornament drawn from a variety of historical, primarily Classical, sources. Popular details include arches, columns, pilasters, projecting bracketed cornices, multiple belt-courses, elaborate lintels, and pediments. Details were used to relate buildings to their neighbors by repeating and varying the ornament used in the surrounding structures. The Belden Street frontages are unadorned, except for slight corbelled cornices at the upper levels or false tile roofs on the stucco buildings. (Added Ord. 414-85, App. 9/17/85) SEC. 7. STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES FOR REVIEW OF NEW CONSTRUCTION AND CERTAIN ALTERATIONS. (a) Standards. All construction of new buildings and all major alterations, which are subject to the provisions of Sections 1110, 1111 through 1111.6 and 1113, shall be compatible with the District in general with respect to the building's composition and massing, scale, materials and colors, and detailing and ornamentation, including those features described in Section 6 of this Appendix. Emphasis shall be placed on compatibility with those buildings in the area in which the new or altered building is located. In the case of major alterations, only those building characteristics that are affected by the proposed alteration shall be considered in assessing compatibility. Signs on buildings in Conservation Districts are subject to the provisions of Section 1111.7. The foregoing standards do not require, or even encourage, new buildings to imitate the styles of the past. Rather, they require the new to be compatible with the old. The determination of compatibility shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 309. (b) Guidelines. The guidelines in this subsection are to be used in assessing compatibility. (1) Composition and Massing. New construction should maintain the character of the District by relating to the prevailing height, mass, proportions, rhythm and composition of existing historic buildings. The height and massing of new buildings should not alter the traditional scale of existing buildings, streets and open spaces. On the Kearny Street, the existing streetwall height should be maintained. An appropriate streetwall height is established by reference to the prevailing height of the buildings on the block and especially that of adjacent buildings. If the adjacent buildings are of a significantly different height than the rest of the buildings on the block, then the prevailing height of buildings on the block should be used as a guide. A setback at the streetwall height can permit additional height above the setback without breaking the continuity of the street wall. On Belden Street, where the street wall is less well defined, greater latitude in height may be allowed. The height limit of 50 feet should be used as a guide to the appropriate height. Existing buildings are built to the property or street line. This pattern should not be broken since it could damage the continuity of building rhythms and the definition of streets. The standard proportions for new buildings should be established by the prevailing streetwall height and width of lots. Maintenance of the existing lot pattern and building proportions should be encouraged. In cases where lot assembly does occur, the facades of new buildings should be broken into discrete elements that relate to prevailing building proportions. The use of smaller bays can be used to relate the proportions of a new building with those of historic buildings. The design of the new structure should reflect the characteristics of the blockfront. Kearny Street facades should repeat the prevailing pattern of two- and three-part vertical compositions, although low buildings could use a one-part vertical division. A base element is necessary to define the pedestrian environment. Belden Street facades should be simply treated, with a cornice or other definition at the roof level. (2) Scale. The existing scale of the immediate area and the Conservation District should be maintained. This can be accomplished in a variety of ways, including a consistent use of size and complexity of detailing with regard to surrounding buildings, continuance of existing bay widths, maintenance of an existing streetwall height, and incorporation of a base element (of similar height) to maintain the pedestrian environment. Large wall surfaces, which increase a building's scale, should be broken up through the use of detailing and textural variation to reduce the scale. Existing fenestration (windows, entrances) rhythms and proportions which have been established by lot width or bay width should be repeated in new structures. The spacing and size of window openings should follow the sequence set by historic struc

wall surfaces, which increase a building's scale, should be broken up through the use of detailing and textural variation to reduce the scale. Existing fenestration (windows, entrances) rhythms and proportions which have been established by lot width or bay width should be repeated in new structures. The spacing and size of window openings should follow the sequence set by historic structures. Large glass areas should be broken up by mullions so that the scale of glazed areas is compatible with that of neighboring buildings. Casement and double-hung windows should be used where possible. (3) Materials and Colors. The use of like materials can relate two buildings of obviously different eras and styles. Similarly, the use of materials that appear similar (such as substituting concrete for terra cotta) can link two disparate structures, or harmonize the appearance of a new structure with the architectural character of a Conservation District. The preferred surface materials for this District are brick, or concrete (simulated to look like terra cotta or stucco). The texture of surfaces can be treated in a manner so as to emphasize the bearing function of the material, as is done in rustication on historic buildings. In addition, in some cases it may be appropriate to leave the surface roughly dressed, emphasizing the utilitarian character of the interior frontages. Traditional light colors should be used in order to blend in with the character of the Kearny Street facades. Dissimilar buildings may be made more compatible by using similar or harmonious colors, and to a lesser extent, by using similar textures. Belden Street facades should use red brick and stucco-like materials. (4) Detailing and Ornamentation. A new building should relate to the surrounding area by picking up elements from surrounding buildings and repeating them or developing them for new purposes. An ornamental detail can be taken from an adjacent building and used in a new building to relate the latter to the surrounding area. Alternately, similarly shaped forms can be used without directly copying historical ornament. The new structure should incorporate prevailing cornice lines or belt courses and may use a modern vernacular instead of that of the original model. (Added Ord. 414-85, App. 9/17/85) SEC. 8.

It is hereby found that the area known and described in this Appendix as the "Pine-Sansome Street area" is a Subarea within the C-3 District that possesses concentrations of buildings that together create a Subarea of architectural quality and importance which contributes to the beauty and attractiveness of the City. It is further found that the area meets the standards for designation of a Conservation District as set forth in Section 1103 of Article 11 and that the designation of said area as a Conservation District will be in furtherance of and in conformance with the purposes of Article 11 of the City Planning Code. This designation is intended to promote the health, safety, prosperity and welfare of the people of the City through the effectuation of the purposes set forth in Section 1101 of Article 11 and the maintenance of the scale and character of the Pine-Sansome area by: (a) The protection and preservation of the basic characteristics and salient architectural details of structures insofar as these characteristics and details are compatible with the Conservation District; (b) Providing scope for the continuing vitality of the District through private renewal and architectural creativity, within appropriate controls and standards; (c) Encouragement of the continued intensive use of the District for financial and business office activities. (Added Ord. 414-85, App. 9/17/85) SEC. 2. DESIGNATION. Pursuant to Section 1103.1 of Article 11, of the City Planning Code (Part II, Chapter XI of the San Francisco Municipal Code), the Pine-Sansome area is hereby designated as a Conservation District. (Added Ord. 414-85, App. 9/17/85) SEC. 3. LOCATION AND BOUNDARIES. The location and boundaries of the Pine-Sansome Conservation District shall be as designated on the Pine-Sansome Conservation District Map, the original of which is on file with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors under File No. 223-84-4, which Map is hereby incorporated herein as though fully set forth, and a facsimile of which is reproduced hereinbelow. (Added Ord. 414-85, App. 9/17/85) SEC. 4. RELATION TO CITY PLANNING CODE. (a) Article 11 of the City Planning Code is the basic law governing preservation of buildings and districts of architectural importance in the C-3 District of the City and County of San Francisco. This Appendix is subject to and in addition to the provisions thereof. (b) Except as may be specifically provided to the contrary in this Code, nothing in this Appendix shall supercede, impair or modify any City Planning Code provisions applicable to property in the Pine-Sansome Conservation District, including, but not limited to, regulations controlling uses, height, bulk, coverage, floor area ratio, required open space, off-street parking and signs. (Added Ord. 414-85, App. 9/17/85) SEC. 5. JUSTIFICATION. The characteristics of the Conservation District justifying its designation are as follows: (a) History of the District. The flat land-filled area east of Montgomery Street became an early center of household furnishings on Pine Street and hotels on Sansome Street. The block of Leidesdorff Street near Pine was once known as Pauper's Alley. By 1875, financial offices from nearby Montgomery Street had located in the area. A stock exchange subdistrict, established in the late 1870's, included the Stock and Exchange Board, the Pacific Exchange and the California Stock Exchange. This District remained largely intact until the Earthquake and Fire of 1906 when two of the exchanges located elsewhere. In the 1920's, as banks moved their offices north along Montgomery Street, some banks and more insurance companies

located on Pine Street near Sansome. When the U.S. Subtreasury Building added its 12-story office extension in the late 1920's, the district largely assumed its present architectural character. The replacement of the Subtreasury by the Pacific Coast Stock Exchange in the 1930's, one of the most important financial institutions in the Western United States, was an important factor in solidifying the District's status as a financial center. Ever since then the area has played an important role in the financial life of the City. (b) Basic Nature of the District. The distinguishing characteristic of the District is the relationship between the street and alley network and the series of distinguished office and financial buildings from the early part of the twentieth century. Buildings are defined and set off from each other by an intricate network of public and private alleys. Although most buildings are built to the property lines, in several cases alleys divide their facades. The network of alleys creates open spaces between buildings which distinguishes the District from other parts of the downtown. The rhythm of buildings and street spaces establishes a human scale in the District. Another definitive feature is the Pacific Coast Stock Exchange, set back from the street upon a base of broad steps. Since the building's forecourt provides an intimate open space with adequate sunshine, it is a popular daytime gathering place. (c) Architectural Character. The buildings in the District are of high design quality, executed in a variety of ornamental styles. Examples of Classical Moderne, Skyscraper Gothic, Gothic, Georgian Revival, as well as the more familiar buildings derived from Renaissance sources, create a rich mix of twentieth century styles. (d) Uniqueness and Location. Near the western edge of the financial district, the District is a large intact example of early twentieth century office architecture in the financial district. Aside from other assemblages of historic office buildings on California and Montgomery Streets, the Pine Sansome district is one of the only remaining areas where an entire pre-World War II streetscape is intact. (e) Visual and Functional Unity. The area has a coherent character created by similar small to moderate scale buildings executed in like materials and colors, and situated on interconnected alleys and small lots. The series of buildings on the south side of Pine Street is constructed out of grey granite, or terra cotta fired to resemble granite. (f) Dynamic Continuity. The District has been and continues to be an active part of the financial district. It contains a variety of uses, including offices, banks, services, retail establishments and small restaurants. (g) Benefits to the City and its Residents. The District provides a variety of benefits to the City and its residents. A range of commercial services are located within the District, including the City's stock exchange, and a number of examples of pre-1930 office development. (Added Ord. 414-85, App. 9/17/85) SEC. 6. FEATURES. The exterior architectural features of the Pine-Sansome Conservation District are as follows: (a) Massing and Composition. For the most part, the buildings are two- or three-part vertical compositions. In more elaborate designs transitional stories create a stacked composition, but the design effect is similar. In addition, buildings are often divided through fenestration or other detailing into bays to express their internal structure. A common compositional device in the District is the emphasis placed upon the central bays. The massing of the structures is usually a simple vertically oriented rectangle with a ratio of width to height generally from 1:2 to 1:6, an important characteristic of the District. The building heights range from 45 feet to 200 feet. Building frontages are relatively consistent, generally ranging from 40 feet to 75 feet. In addition, continuous streetwall heights are a characteristic of the west side of Pine Street. The heights of the buildings step down towards the west. With the exception of the Pacific Coast Stock Exchange, the buildings in the Pine- Sansome Conservation District are built to the front property line and occupy the entire site. (b) Scale. The buildings are of small to moderate scale with bay widths generally from 20 feet to 30 feet. Wider frontages are often broken up by articulation of the facade, making the buildings appear narrower. The street frontages are broken up by the aforementioned alleys, further limiting the scale of the District. The base is generally delineated from the rest of the building, giving the District an intimate scale at the street. (c) Materials and Colors. Buildings are constructed of masonry or terra cotta, or various shades of brick. The buildings are light-colored grays or cream colors, with some red brick buildings. Through the use of rich detailing, often executed in deep relief, textural facades are emphasized. (d) Detail and Ornamentation. The buildings in the District are richly detailed in a wide variety of styles for such a small area. Ornamental types include rich sculptural groups in the Moderne style, bas reliefs, rusticated bases, colonades, pointed and round headed arches, bracketed cornices, belt courses, and decorative keystones. (Added Ord. 414-85, App. 9/17/85) SEC. 7. STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES FOR REVIEW OF NEW CONSTRUCTION AND CERTAIN ALTERATIONS. (a) Standards. Within Conservation Districts, all construction of new buildings and all major alterations, which are subject to the provisions of Sections 1110, 1111 through 1111.6 and 1113, shall be compatible with the District in general with respect to the building's composition and massing, scale, materials and colors, and detailing and ornamentation, including those features described in Section 6 of this Appendix. Emphasis shall be placed on compatibility with those

ngs and all major alterations, which are subject to the provisions of Sections 1110, 1111 through 1111.6 and 1113, shall be compatible with the District in general with respect to the building's composition and massing, scale, materials and colors, and detailing and ornamentation, including those features described in Section 6 of this Appendix. Emphasis shall be placed on compatibility with those buildings in the area in which the new or altered building is located. In the case of major alterations, only those building characteristics that are affected by the proposed alteration shall be considered in assessing compatibility. Signs on buildings in Conservation Districts are subject to the provisions of Section 1111.7. The foregoing standards do not require, or even encourage, new buildings to imitate the styles of the past. Rather, they require the new to be compatible with the old. The determination of compatibility shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 309. (b) Guidelines. The guidelines in this Subsection are to be used in assessing compatibility. (1) Composition and Massing. New construction should maintain the character of the District by relating to the prevailing height, mass, proportions, rhythm and composition of existing historic buildings. The height and massing of new buildings should not alter the traditional scale of existing buildings, streets and open spaces. Existing streetwall heights should be maintained. An appropriate streetwall height is established by reference to the prevailing building height on the block and especially to that of adjacent buildings. If the adjacent buildings are of a significantly different height than the rest of the buildings on the block, then the prevailing height of buildings on the block should be used as a guide. A setback at the streetwall height can permit additional height above the setback without breaking the continuity of the streetwall. Most existing buildings are built to the street or alley line. This pattern should not be broken since it could damage the continuity of building rhythms and the definition of streets. The standard proportions for new buildings should be established by the prevailing streetwall height and width of lots. Lot assembly should be discouraged to maintain the existing lot pattern. In cases where lots are combined, facades of new buildings should be broken into discrete elements that relate to prevailing building proportions. The use of smaller bays can be used to relate the proportions of a new building with those of historic buildings. The design of a new structure should repeat the prevailing pattern of two- and three-part vertical compositions. (2) Scale. A major influence on scale is the degree to which the total facade plane is broken into smaller parts which relate to human scale. The existing scale of the immediate area and the Conservation District should be maintained by a consistent use of size and complexity of detailing with regard to surrounding buildings, and the continuance of existing bay widths. Base elements (of similar height to existing bases) should be used to maintain a sense of human scale on streets and sidewalks. Large wall surfaces, which increase a building's scale, should be broken up through the use of detailing and textural variation to reduce the scale. Existing fenestration (windows, entrances) rhythms and proportions which have been established by lot width or bay width should be repeated in new structures. The spacing and size of window openings should follow the sequence set by existing structures. Large glass areas should be broken up by mullions so that the scale of glazed areas is compatible with that of neighboring buildings. (3) Materials and Colors. The use of like materials can relate two buildings of obviously different eras and styles. The use of materials that appear similar (such as substituting concrete for terra cotta) can link two disparate structures, or harmonize the appearance of a new structure with the architectural character of a Conservation District. The preferred surface materials for this District are brick, terra cotta, stone, and concrete (simulated to look like terra cotta or stone). New buildings should use more than one facade material to repeat the pattern prevalent in existing structures. Since the common colors of the District are those of red brick and grey stone, these colors as well as earth tones should be used in new construction. (4) Detailing and Ornamentation. A new building should relate to the surrounding area by picking up elements from surrounding buildings and repeating them or developing them for new purposes. Ornamental details, such as columns, lintels and arches, can be taken from an adjacent building and used in a new building to relate the latter to the surrounding area. Similarly shaped forms can be used without directly copying historical ornament. The new structure should incorporate prevailing cornice lines, belt courses or rusticated bases and may use

a modern vernacular instead of that of the original model. (Added Ord. 414-85, App. 9/17/85) SEC. 8. TDR; ELIGIBILITY OF CATEGORY V BUILDINGS. Category V Buildings in the Pine-Sansome District are eligible for the transfer of TDR as provided in Section 1109(c). (Added Ord. 414-85, App. 9/17/85)

SEC. 4. RELATION TO CITY PLANNING CODE. (a) Article 11 of the City Planning Code is the basic law governing preservation of buildings and districts of architectural importance in the C-3 District of the City and County of San Francisco. This Appendix is subject to and in addition to the provisions thereof. (b) Except as may be specifically provided to the contrary in this Code, nothing in this Appendix shall supersede, impair or modify any City Planning Code provisions applicable to property in the Mint-Mission Conservation District, including, but not limited to, regulations controlling uses, height, bulk, coverage, floor area ratio, required open space, off-street parking, and signs. (Added by Ord. 257-18, File No. 180724, App. 11/2/2018, Eff. 12/3/2018) SEC. 5. JUSTIFICATION. The characteristics of the Conservation District justifying its designation are as follows: (a) History of the District. The Mint-Mission Conservation District is representative of the post-1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire reconstruction period and the evolution of land use patterns at the northern edge of the South of Market neighborhood dating to the mid-nineteenth century. The District retains a mix of residential hotels, small scale commercial buildings, warehouses and manufacturing facilities reflective of the area’s role as the center of industrial production in San Francisco and the major supplier of mining equipment, heavy machinery and other goods to the western states. Residential hotels provided housing for the largely single men employed by the nearby factories and manufacturing operations and in seasonal or temporary positions along the waterfront. This land use pattern was replicated during the reconstruction of South of Market following the 1906 earthquake and fire. The District encompasses a cohesive concentration of reinforced concrete and brick masonry buildings constructed between 1906 and 1930. The District is particularly notable as it is a survivor of the extensive redevelopment of SoMa in the late twentieth century during which much of the building stock from the period when the neighborhood served as the city’s industrial and manufacturing center was razed. (b) Basic Nature of the District. The District is characterized by small- to mid-scale industrial, residential, and commercial buildings ranging in height from one to ten stories, with the predominate height between two and five stories. Most buildings in the District are constructed on through-lots with visible rear elevations. The District includes several warehouses and industrial lofts, three residential hotels with commercial ground floors, and a former bank. Twenty-two properties are located in the District, 19 of which are Category I-IV buildings. (c) Architectural Character. The buildings are primarily constructed of reinforced concrete and brick masonry and are largely industrial in style and feature Classical Revival detailing typical of early 20th century commercial architecture in San Francisco. Ornament on residential and mixed-use buildings consists of belt courses, arches, moldings and drip pendants, applied cast shields or swag, and corniced rooflines often featuring brackets, modillions, and dentil moldings. The District’s buildings are largely clad in smooth finish stucco or brick, with a few structures clad with rusticated stucco, terra cotta, and concrete. (d) Uniqueness and Location. The District is comprised of one of the few intact concentrations of residential hotels, small-scale commercial buildings, warehouses and manufacturing facilities remaining in the South of Market neighborhood. The District is reflective of the land use patterns developed in SoMa in the late nineteenth century and continued following the 1906 earthquake and fire. Twenty-two buildings are located in the District. Five of the buildings located within the District were constructed between 1906-1907, one of which is a partial survivor of the 1906 earthquake and fire. The District is unique in that most of its buildings are constructed on through-lots with visible rear elevations. The District is adjacent to the Kearny-Market-Mason-Sutter Conservation District and borders the 6th Street Lodginghouse Historic District. The Old Mint, a National Historic Landmark, is located across from the eastern border and pre-dates the period of significance of the District. The District is particularly noteworthy as it survived the mid-twentieth century redevelopment of SoMa during which much of the area’s building stock dating to the period when the neighborhood served as the city’s manufacturing center was razed. (e) Visual and Functional Unity. The District is a cohesive mix of small- to mid-scale buildings with common architectural character and vocabulary. (f) Dynamic Continuity. The District is located at the intersection of the major large-scale retail and commercial function of Market Street and the mix of small-business storefronts, residential hotels and industrial buildings converted to office and residential use that characterize the South of Market neighborhood. (g) Benefits to the City and its Residents. As the anchor to the district, the Old Mint is surrounded by the mix of residential hotels, industrial, manufacturing and warehouse structures found in the District. Mint-Mission is unique to San Francisco as it is one of the few remaining intact clusters of buildings that reflect South of Market’s nineteenth-century function as the city’s industrial and manufacturing center.

The exterior architectural features of the Mint-Mission Conservation District are as follows: (a) Massing and Composition. Buildings in the District are rectangular in plan, with the exception of two L-shaped structures. Multi-story buildings feature multiple bays and two- or three-part vertical compositions consisting of

File No. 180724, App. 11/2/2018, Eff. 12/3/2018) SEC. 6. FEATURES. The exterior architectural features of the Mint-Mission Conservation District are as follows: (a) Massing and Composition. Buildings in the District are rectangular in plan, with the exception of two L-shaped structures. Multi-story buildings feature multiple bays and two- or three-part vertical compositions consisting of a base and shaft or a base, shaft and capital. The majority of the buildings within the District occupy the entirety of their lots and are built to the front property line. One and two story buildings largely feature flat roofs with simple cornices. Projecting cornices with modillions, scrolled brackets, shield motifs, egg and dart molding, and decorative low-relief panels are found on several of the District’s multi-story buildings. (b) Scale. The buildings are small- to medium-scale with heights ranging from one to ten stories, with the predominate height between two and five stories. The majority of the buildings are built on the entirety of their lots and are primarily 1500-9000 square feet in size, with the exception of three buildings that are approximately 12,000 square feet. (c) Materials and Colors. Buildings in the District are primarily clad in terra cotta, smooth and polychrome brick, stone tiles and smooth or rusticated stucco or concrete. Masonry is the predominate framing, but two buildings located in the district are steel frame. One is a brick masonry structure and the other is reinforced concrete. Ornamentation materials are largely stucco, brick, terra cotta tile, and wood. Wood is commonly used for window framing, millwork and ornamentation. Materials and paint are generally light colors and light to medium earth tones. (d) Detailing and Ornamentation. Ornament on the District’s residential and mixed-use buildings consists of belt courses, decorative millwork, brick corbelling, and projecting bracketed cornices with dentil molding, applied cast shields and molding. Industrial buildings commonly feature simple cornices, flat facades with little ornament, and punched window openings. These shared details, along with the common height, scale, and materials found in the district create a cohesive grouping of buildings.

(a) All construction of new buildings and all major alterations, which are subject to the provisions of Sections 1110, 1111 through 1111.6, and 1113, shall be compatible with the District in general with respect to the building’s composition and massing, scale, materials and colors, and detailing and ornamentation, including those features described in Section 6 of this Appendix. Emphasis shall be placed on compatibility with those buildings in the area in which the new or altered building is located. In the case of major alterations, only those building characteristics that are affected by the proposed alteration shall be considered in assessing compatibility. Signs on buildings in conservation districts are subject to the provisions of Section 1111.7. The foregoing standards do not require, or even encourage, new buildings to imitate the styles of the past. Rather, they require the new to be compatible with the old. The determination of compatibility shall be made in accordance with the provisions of Section 309. (b) The guidelines in this Subsection are to be used in assessing compatibility. (1) Composition and Massing. New construction should maintain the district’s essential character by relating to the prevailing height, mass, proportions, rhythm and composition of existing Significant and Contributory Buildings. The height and massing of new buildings should not alter the traditional scale of existing buildings, streets and open spaces. In addition to the consideration of sunlight access for the street, an appropriate streetwall height is established by reference to the prevailing height of the buildings on the block and especially that of adjacent buildings. If the adjacent buildings are of a significantly different height than the rest of the buildings on the block, then the prevailing height of buildings on the block should be used as a guide. A setback at the streetwall height can permit additional height above the setback without breaking the continuity of the street wall. Most existing buildings are built to the property or street line. This pattern, except in the case of carefully selected open spaces, should not be broken since it could damage the continuity of building rhythms and the definitions of streets. The standard proportions of new buildings should be established by the prevailing streetwall height and width of lots. To ensure that an established set of proportions is maintained, it is necessary to break up the facades of new buildings into smaller sections that relate to those existing proportions.

The design of a new structure should repeat the common pattern of two and three part vertical compositions. A base element is necessary to define the pedestrian environment. This division of a building allows flexibility in the design of the ground story while encouraging uniformity of the upper stories. (2) Scale. A major influence on scale is the degree to which the total facade plane is broken into smaller parts (e.g., by detailing, fenestration, and bay widths) which relate to human scale. The existing scale of small- to medium-sized buildings found in the District should be maintained. This can be accomplished in a variety of ways, including a consistent use of size and complexity of detailing in regards to surrounding buildings, continuance of existing bay widths, maintenance of an existing streetwall height, and incorporation of a base element (of similar height) to maintain the pedestrian environment. Large wall surfaces, which increase a building’s scale, should be broken up through the use of detailing and textural variation. Existing fenestration (windows and entrances) rhythms and proportions which have been established by lot width or bay width should be repeated in new structures. The spacing and size of window openings should follow the sequence set by Significant and Contributory structures. Large glass areas should be broken up by mullions so that the scale of glazed areas is compatible with that of neighboring buildings. Casement and double-hung windows should be used where possible. (3) Materials and Colors. The use of like materials can relate two buildings of obviously different eras and styles. Similarly, the use of materials that appear similar (such as substituting concrete for stone) can link two disparate structures, or harmonize the appearance of a new structure with the architectural character of a conservation district. The preferred surface materials for this District are brick, stone, and concrete simulated to look like terra cotta or stone. The texture of surfaces can be treated in a manner so as to emphasize the bearing function of the material, as is done in rustication on historic buildings. Traditional light colors and earth tones should be used in order to blend in with the character of the district. Dissimilar buildings may be made more compatible by using similar or harmonious colors, and to a lesser extent, by using similar textures. (4) Detailing and Ornamentation. A new building should relate to the surrounding area by picking up elements from surrounding buildings and repeating them or developing them for new purposes. Detailing of a similar shape and placement can be used without directly copying historical ornament. The new structure should incorporate prevailing cornice lines or belt courses and may also use a modern vernacular instead of that of the original model.
