That integrating your business into the community. But overall, i would say i think the move to open up the space to the public to create a restaurant in this space that can truly be serving of all different interests and members of the community is actually a step in the right direction. And so i would move to not take dr and approve the project. Thank you. So i will also be not supportive of this dr. Let me just add to your wise words, commissioner johnson. You are always so on point. That i think, you know, we have seen all kinds of changes in our neighborhoods. Resulting from income disparity. And, you know, its hard to see sort of the effects in terms of displacement, loss of cultural space and accessibility. I dont believe this project does any of these things. I also think that theres been a real shift in the last ten years in terms of whats viable for restaurants and retail. I think theres been a sort of seismic shift. I wish we lived in a world where having pinball machines and an arcade was economically viable. But we dont live in that world. And so i am somebody who has spent a large part of my career doing Technical Assistance for businesses in the mission, doing, you know, Building Support for folks to make a living, mostly immigrant businesses. And i know how tough it is to be able to survive, to be able to pay your employees, to be able to pay your mortgage. And so i think coming up with innovative Business Plans that involve different things, you know, events, pinball machines, hours during which kids can come, hours during which techies can come, things that can be flexible uses that will allow you to have a business thats viable and at the same time as commissioner johnson suggested, i hope you i saw you writing down her suggestions, which was excellent, which contribute to the community and are respectful of the community life. I think thats the way to go. So i think that i commend you for having so much support. I think thats great. And i also want us to think about that issue of flexibility and spaces. I think umu designation is the perfect designation to be trying out flexible Business Models, having something going on during the day, having Something Else going on in the evening, maybe something on weekends, something on weekdays. I think because its meant to be that in between pdr and residential, it is the perfect way to be trying out new Business Models in this world that we are living in of amazon and grub hub delivery where its so difficult to have restaurants survive, even with alcohol. And so i think just for planning staff, i want to see some of these things and explore some of these things, especially in umu, because i think its important to preserve jobs. And i also will say that the pdr designation is exactly what we thought of, the repairing of the machine, thats the exactly what pdr is and if having this extra income with this new Business Model allows you to employ all of these folks, fixing up ski ball machines and other places, i think thats exactly what we want. So thank you so much. And i will not be supporting this dr. Commissioner richards. Just a couple thoughts before we vote and hopefully go home. I would love to see we talked about equity before. I would love to see on this project or dr, the applicant and the project sponsor and staff, if we so desire, actually put the project through the equity lens and see what the sausage is at the end when it comes out. So that would be an interesting one. I love going to detour in my neighborhood. They have childrens afternoons 12 to 5, saturdays and sundays. I hope you are able to do Something Like that for kids. The only thing that troubles me, and the reason why i will vote yes is indeed you had an events there afterwards. It looks like you did. If you didnt, then now is the change to say. With social media its hard to disprove these kinds of things. I love pinball. Second. Thank you, commissioners. Seeing nothing further, theres a motion that has been seconded to not take dr and approve the project as proposed. On that motion. [roll call vote] i vote not to take dr. The motion is to not take dr. [roll call vote] so moved, that motion passes 41 with commissioner richards voting against. [applause] its a weird spot. I struggle with [end of meeting] shop and dine in the 49 promotes local businesses, and challenges residents to do their shopping within the 49 square miles of San Francisco. By supporting local services in our neighborhood, we help San Francisco remain unique, successful, and vibrant. So where will you shop and dine in the 49 . I am the owner of this restaurant. We have been here in north beach over 100 years.

Regular calender, items 6a, b. , c, d. For reports at 544 cap street and 401 sixth street, 440 to protero avenue. Hello, commissioners, shelly preservation staff. We have four legacy Business Applications before you today and im going to give a brief summary of each with the features that were recommending to be safeguarded and we have several of the Business Owners here today to speak during Public Comment. The first is Community Music center board of trustees, the Community Music center was founded in september 19 and incorporated in 1939. The mission of the organization is to make highquality music accessible to people of all ages, backgrounds and abilities regardless of financial means. 2012, the organization purchased the victoria an house located next door to their Current Location at 552 cap street. The intent is to house additional large classroom teaching spaces and another recital hall per for formances and needed staff space. The realization of this expansion is planned for the 100th anniversary and 2021 and will greatly many prove their services and ability to sustain their tuitionfree programs. I wanted to note that the cap 3 property was surveyed by the Planning Department in 2010 and found to be eligible for listing for its architecture and cultural associations. Staff is recommending both locations be recognized 544 cap street and 74,130th avenue. Were recommending the following features. The mission to make music accessible to people of all ages, backgrounds and abilities regardless of financial means. Their commitment to diversity, their responsiveness to the community that they serve and the 544 cap street Garden Court Yard and house. It takes us to our next applicant. Located at 401 sixth street. There was a mistake in the staff report and the calender language regarding the description of the location. Its not located on the eastside of grant avenue. Sorry for the typo. It is located at sixth and harrison in soma. The end of oak bend in 1973 as an after hours lgbtq country western nightclub at its current site. The club celebrates diversity and inclusion with support for the lgbtq community. Al, the original owner died in 1989 leaving the club to his brother. The two brothers owned and operated the club, it was popular for their contests, their contest gained wider notice when it was featured in the weekly serialized newspaper column tales by the city and later in the book by the same name. Staff wanted to note that the property is a contribute oor soh of market lgbtq Historic District which is significant under criterion 1 and 2. And were recommending the following features. Their location at sixth street. The waterfall in their back patio and the interior murals and the space divided into three music rooms and the statue on the roof of home of shabushabu located at 1800 sutter street. Its a familyowned japaneseamerican restaurant on the first floor of the kemton Buchanan Hotel and japan town. The restaurant was founded in 199 as part of a project to bring Japanese Culture to San Francisco by a company of osaka japan. Its owned b owned by a former. Over the 40 years its been in business, moms has been remained bridging japanese and American Culture through dining space and cuisine becoming a Gathering Place for the japan town community. I wanted to note that the restaurant was included on a list of japan town Cultural Resources and the japan town cultural her age and Economic Sustainability strategy which is the first document in San Francisco to focus specifically on how to preserve and promote a neighborhood Cultural Heritage. We are recommending that the location be recognized along with the following features. The name mums and the logo which reflects a symbol of Japanese Culture. Including shabu and the two circular windows, which have been in existence since the opening of the restaurant and the interior mural and if you have any questions im available. We have two speaker cards. Woody and sarah. Good afternoon, my name is woody and im the Vice President of advocacy and programs at San Francisco heritage. And today i would like to express heritages great support for the Community Music centers, nomination to the legacy business registry, heritage, and encourage them and try to help get this happening for them. I also really want to quickly state that both locations are very significant sites, especially the one on cap street. Its probably lesser known and a significant site to that neighborhood. So heritage wholeheartedly endorses this nomination and the next one. They end up which is not on grant street. We very much support it as well. Thank you. Sarah fam. Hi, my name is sarah tam and im the youngest daughter. And im here to represent my dads story is a he came as an immigrant and he first started walking as a temporary dishwasher in 1981. And five years he was able to work his way up as an assistant manager. My dad and a previous owner of mums went on trips to japan multiple times and they wanted to bring japanese comfort food to San Francisco. They wanted to create an identity for japan town through cuisine. Some of these dishes we still have today including shabushau many of he told his business to my dad in 2000 and has been familyrun since. And in 2007, we were very lucky to be included in japan town Cultural Heritage and and i think that strongly influenced our ability to renew the lease with kdg and with gdb they want to incorporate us and the japan town community. We have a japanese pop theme, a mural by japanese pop artist from japan. We have picture of the staff on the wall and one of the prerequisites we needed to change our name to change and at least we weratleast we were able mums aspect. The lease suppose and we almost lost the lease. They wanted us to change our name, change our logo and remove the pictures and they also wanted to change the menu. Thats asking us to change our identity. Sorry. So, me and my family we had a strategize to meet to obtain the lease and we were caught between what they think is best for us and what we wanted. Its a consistent battle. Constant battle. It has only been more and more difficult trying to retain our identity in japan town. This would help us continue our traditions and help us strive to protect what we do and we want to keep it the way it has been and we find to find out who we are in japan town. We need to keep mums the way of Community Remembers it as. When they grow up we hope they will bring the next generation to dine with us. We hope to continue to be here and share what we love. This is the generation, the next generation to future generations. Im really nervous. Thank you. Any other member of the public. Im please today ask you to support our legacy registry application and the applications of our fellow businesses who make longstanding and impactful contributions to San Francisco. Founded in 1921, cnc is 99 years young and growing from a small, volunteerrun school founded in the settlement tradition serving a handful of immigrant families to today. Cnc is one of the largest and most Dynamic Community schools in the country and the largest on the west coast.

As we enter our second century of service to the city of San Francisco, we appreciate your support of our application allowing cnc to remain vibrant, relevant and socially engage making a difference in our local community and around the city. Thank you. Thank you. Please. Good afternoon, commissioners. My name is selena and i am the executive director of horizons unlimited. I would like to echo the sentiment that im here to support our own agencys application for the legacy business registry and also our other organizations who are also very worth while of this. I would call prestigious designation. On my way up here i was laughing to me self. I dont know if you guys have seen the commercial where they say, im not only the owner but im also a customer and client. And that story is similar for myself. Im very honored and i have a privilege to be the executive director but my journey at horizon started as a youth. I will date myself. It was about 30 years ago when i first came to horizons. Horizons has been a very special in the communitys heart. Our model there is really about culture and family. Our primary population is obviously working with latino youth and other youth of color and were very proud to be one of the only organizations now in the city that offer substitute treatment to those that are impacted by that. I often times walk through the mission and on any given day, you hear the stories of people saying that often times their journey in social services started at horizons as well. We have a lot of people in the community that have benefited from our services. We have a lot of support in the community and were very proud and honored to be where we are today. Always looking to grow and really meet the needs of our community. Having this designation i think would be an honor as i mentioned and would hopefully help safeguard our place and our space, our building itself is more than just four walls. Our youth where it their home. It contains a lot of love. I really feel it has a heartbeat there. It would be very special for us to be awarded this. Thank you for the consideration, i appreciate it. Any other member of the public . Close Public Comment. Commissioner jones. Thank you. Well, culture is the theme today. I am familiar with three of the four institutions. I have never been invited to the end of it. I didnt know about horizons unlimited. I have been a customer at mums over the years and i know the Community Music center and id just like to observe as a matter of history, that its the contributions coming together in San Francisco of, i would say the cream of jewish and Catholic Society to found and promote this organization. If you are familiar with those communities, you can see that they have the first Team Involved in along this institution. Not too many years ago when my piano club had a recital there i play beethovens turkish march and the piano is good for that purpose. Congratulations and thank you for coming out. Yeah, i want to thank the four organizations for coming before us today and you are San Francisco. You are the heart and sole of what makes our place so unique and so great to be in and the lady who was nervous. No need to be nervous. The fight your family has done to stay there and to keep it the way it is because thats who you are, is so hono honorable to whe legacy is about. I endorse all four of these. I happen to the end up and. My daughter is good at the piano. Commissioner, i would love to take you there and we can tour together. I want to mention the legacy business is here in and the legacy business weve been talking about really is the fabric of our community and im really grateful about the heritage and the planning staff of the work they do to bring these people and these businesses. I know all the businesses but cmc and i am amazed by what you all do so thank you so much. My partner did piano lessons there and his instructor, tony, about 20 years ago, he left, he mentioned to us a saying ive heard and liquid architecture and and its always touching and on the other, the moms obviously moms is a tenant and the other three tenants or own their own buildings and the tenant. This is forwarded for approval. Second. Thank you, commissioners, theres a motion that has been seconds to adopt recommendations for approval on that motion. Commissioner john, commissioner pearlman, and president island and it passes 60 and congratulations. We have item 7 and at 2 henry adam street and this is a certificate of appropriateness. Good afternoon, commissioners, department staff, monica. The application before you is a request for certificate of appropriateness, thank you. For the property at 2 henry adams street, designated as landmark number 283 the building under article 10 of the planning code and located within a p. D. R. 1d zoning district. This property is developed with a fivestorey heavy timber flame, brick, american commercial style building, constructed in 1915 by architect leo j. Delvin. The building encompasses the entire block. The project includes restoration historic store fronts on all five building facades. A new storefront system will be installed on the Northeast Corner of the subject property. Existing non historic box anings will be removed and replaced with flat, metal anings at the northwest corner of the property which is currently used as a Service Parking lot. A new 945 square feet utility enclosure will be constructed. As part of this project, 49,364 square feet on the fifth floor of the building will be converted from p. D. R. To office use. The department has not received any letters of opposition or supporsuppose regarding this pr. Given the nature of the proposed work, the reverse ability of the propose utility and the change of use to office the proposed work will be in conformance with the requirements outlined in article 10 of the planning code and the secretary of the interior standards. The analysis found in the case report, staff recommends approval with the following conditions. First, but prior to issuance of the Building Permit, the project sponsor shall submit product cut sheets for the brick cladding materials for the utility inclose youre for review and approval by Planning Department preservation staff and second, that the issuance of the Building Permit and on site full scale mock up proposed for the utility enclosure will review a travel by preservation staff. Draft moxie has been amended to include findings and it allows office uses in pdr1d. This Commission Must find that the project meets the secretary of the interior standards and that the proposed changes use will enhance the feasibility of preserving the landmark in order for the continual use authorization to move forward and thats on page 7 in. Draft motion i just handed to you. This concludes my presentation. The project sponsor is in attendance and will mack a short presentation and im happy to answer any questions you may have. Thank you. I know you have a lot of material here. Do you think 10 minutes is sufficient . 10 would be great. Yeah. Thank you. Good afternoon, commissioners, john here on behalf of the project sponsor. Were excited to be here today to present a major renovation and restoration of the landmark building process which has been six years in the making. I first like to have stan lu come up and provide an overview of the project. Good afternoon, commissioners. Thank you. Ill provide a review of the highlights of the proposed exterior improvements for 2 henry adams and as staff mentioned, most of the detail is covered in what you have but ill walk you through the conditions and highlight some of the major improvements planned for the building and site. Could you twist the staff up so its close. Is that better . Great. Ill lean in. And i thought we would staff with a rendering of the original building from the 1900s of the building and its such the general defining characteristics of the Building Cleaning the roof line and material and brick that was mentioned and the building and some of the detailing that occurs around the awning that covers what was loaded talks back in the early days. And, well reference some of thn the characteristics from the early 1900s and here you will see the over all building has been maintained. The building is a full block and it stands from street to street and the work that were planning will touch all facades as part of the work. This was mentioned as part of the staff report. This is the north side of the site which is currently a gravel parking lot and this was the site of the original rail service that used to come up to the building in the early days when the building was rail served and since the rails have been removed, its a parking lot, its also equipment. And we have plans to improve this to be a Public Community amenity and plaza and ill just take you to a rendering of what the future condition would be and when what is proposed here is updates the the average store and some of the storefronts and and enhancement and level to include ground floor restaurant. Much of the can pees at the at the ground level are fabric can canopy and the work to sign elements with detailing that consistent with the original building and including and shown in the henry and part of the future buildings as well as the sane age and were standing off the signage which is currently actually attached to the bricks so were pulling the signage off the building. In this view, the plans well see effectively the parking lot into a useable after space with paving, landscape and we also haven enhancement by way of program to introduce a cafe, kiosk element to activate the plaza so the public will have somewhere and other elements in the space is that will welcome users of the space. And i think the next slides. The intent with the proposed exterior work is to enhance the building so restore conditions in the building and details that have been evolved over the years and bring back some of the character integral to the building and repointing we need to replace the bulk and to bring back some of the original details of how it evolved over the last century or so. And its also worth noting were replacing the flat work around the site and this is the sidewalk on all four street front ages and it will be replaced and by doing so, i will make and complying and and the site will be that much more accessible and particular on the west side of the building where we have a very steep loading dock. They are so much and the proposed uses and well have a laboratory and office use thats proposed. And ill leave it there and ask john to come back up. Thank you, commissioners. Designating the building as a landmark and allowing for an limited amount of office space the board of supervisors has if sil tated the project sponsor spending 18 million and 5 million on the facade alone. So its pretty impressive. The outcome of this legislation. In addition to the proposed work to the building were also seeking an Office Conversion to change a portion of the upper floors the fourth and fifth floors from showroom to office use. The lower floors will be maintained as showroom space. We have recently identified a tenant to occupy the upper two floors as office use and lab use. We file the applications for this project back in april. The tenant has been identified since then. Weve been working with them to fit them properly and to the upper two floors of space and as a result, i will ask the commission to reflect the updated Square Footage that this tenant is seeking as part of the Office Conversion in the application, we listed 49,364 square feet and our tenant would like to maximize the full small cap at 49,999 square feet. Now, the hpc is not approving the Office Conversion today but we think it would be appropriate for the motion to reflect the current and accurate floor area that well be requesting. Do hesitate to ask if you have any. The project fulfills the intent of supervisor cohens legislation and facilitates the restoration and preservation of the landmark building and p. R. Zoning districts allowing a modest amount of office space and the result will be 200 restored and able to survive another century. Thank you. Lets open it up for Public Comment and address the commission. Closed Public Comment. Commissioners. I have some questions. This is a really beautiful project. So i know its gone through a lot of hell to get here. My voice was trying to stop the project that was going to happen at one point. This is beautifully done. I just have some for the architects, just one really one question or two questions. It appeared the storefront on the henry, which is a restaurant, was different than all the rest on the entire building. It was like glass, frame less glass. In the rendering that you had that showed the street front with the henry, the storefront appeared to be frameless glass. Why is that one different from all the rest. Im happy to go back. It appeared when i looked at it more closely. Its in our packets as well. The intent is to maintain the storefronts similarly as we can with the existing that remains and part of the restaurant and do joe us has this more traditional commissioners and point that will be something i like to also have you address is that i seen various different storefront treatment ranging from the frame less policing storefront to the dojo which looks like its render as big red color to some other storefront where you have black molding. The intent here. Thank you for your question. For dojo in this case is to actually use similar wood windows and a different color and thats what is showing in the rendering and its to be consistent with the material on the building with the replacement storefront and we want it to highlight where the coffee kiosk is by going with a slightly different color. Even if it appears differently. And the black elements were talking about the Steel Detailing that defines the canopy and the signage, thats part of the intent to relate back to some of the original rendering where we had the canopy to bring back the Steel Detailing. You didnt answer the question about why frameless glass . Its such a modern insertion and it looks like it appears like that was the one opening that you didnt improve. You didnt bring back to what would have been original. Maybe it just reads that way. I can do it on my screen in my office. It doesnt look it looks completely different than the ones on either side of it. Either side are wood frames, right. This is a traditional. The ones you propose are aluminum. And intent was again to increase the transparency by going with a different treatment at entry doors. Well, i understand your point. I understand yours as well. Its not like i cant seethrough them on either side. It doesnt make a difference in terms of increasing the transparency and it looks like the one opening that was left out of the project so i would just encourage you to come up with a the opening is a new storefront . Thats a new one. Thats a new one. That was one question that you are welcome to propose a condition. There is one thing i wanted to bring up because its a similar topic. On your page 22 in my packet with your propose design elements, you have shown them modern storefront of black in color with you. I look at this page. Is that ending up in any of the elevations which is not showing the current rendering but it will end up becoming fifth design element that will be populated. It intends not to have black molding as that images showing. The intent is not to have the black molding throughout as that image is showing. It would be white. It would be red or white or frameless . The replacement ones will be white to match the existing white and where were showing red, the dojo we will look at doing Something Different there and said wha red is what is shod the black is not intended to be the standard for the building. Will it occur anywhere . No. Theres two points. Ok. I do have another question. We didnt really talk about the park. I noticed in the packet on the portion about the park and the enclosure, on page 7 and 8, it seems like theres two completely different designs so i wasnt quite clear. And you talked about the brick. Neither of these look like brick. These both look woodframed. Im just wondering what the real story is. [laughter] as you mentioned, this is been years in development and there have been various renderings overtime and i think you have, in your packet, a range of some of the work thats occurred over time, theres work that is planned and it was referenced for the staff report for the enclosure and its something we will back to staff for review before we select the final materials. Thats one of the conditions of approval, correct . Yes. All right. Because i mean, the more solid one seems with the plants growing on it, seems to be the appropriate one as opposed to some of the wood structures. Right. And we know theres some inconsistency there. That answers my questions, thank you. Commissioner black. Thank you. I just wanted say i strongly support the concern that i share with my fellow commissioners about the different storefront. I think they should be the same. I could careless about the color, the wood being painted a different color for a particular tenant. Im happy to hear my fellow commissioners comments on that otherwise i do think that theres plenty of transparency and its a spectacular building. Each of these tenants is welcoming anyway. Thats my feeling on that storefront. Thank you. Mr. So. I do. Thank you for the presentation. I do understand its many years of undertaking. Any time when a project of this scale and the historical significance its a lot of work and because of that, through time there might be something kind of residual, right, like images that show up that was not meant to be already. I like to point out that i do echo with commissioner black about the consistency of having the retail storefront to be really coherent and let it be the choice of the storefront system in terms of the framing or its actually for me, it felt to me its coming from some retail background i felt like they should have a consistent language as a landlord to, as a guiding gatekeeper of the quality of the building instead of letting any retailer coming into just do whatever they like to fit their brand because they should have a collaboration in coming into a building of this significance, right. So, i do like to have the project team to continue to be more diligent about creating a design and tenant and design guideline that is consistent that hold your Property Management can actually it for further development. The you think it should be consistent with more like frame less storefronts to be consistent with every around the ground floor and and in that case the system and underlying pattern that everybody can if i could interject. You are welcome to propose some conditions and if you have a preference on what that should be, its appropriate to voice that. Thank you. You can go ahead and do that. Im not done yet. [laughter] shes got 22 comments. Love this building. Im a member of the design center. So i just felt like i should say some more. Im also your retail signage that in your package, theyre a different shape. Some of them are circle and some look like a little house shape. Those little retail things here. Thats an example of what the signage could be and the intent and what the renderings are showing here which is different than your package. Again, the process of getting to this point. I like to see it it would be consistent instead of having hexagon or square should it be circle . The sign package is separate. Its consistent. I would like to see a consistent pattern language so anyone can use it as they design Guiding Principles to respectful to the building. Sure. It tends to be consistent. Thank you. Thank you. Commissioner foley. Im really excited about what you are doing. I look at what you did in the twitter building at 1355 market and the consistency you did with all the storefronts. How you tied them allout. I just feek like this is almost a little bit messy. I know its been going on for six years but it seems like when you are coming to deal with this building by the way, ive been in that neighborhood few for 31 years. I had a office in the bakerhamilton building. I just think that i understand this is going on for six years but it seems like it should be cleaned up and consistent around all those storefronts. Thank you. Great. I have a few comments, questions as well. You are not off that easy today. On the Square Footage, what is the footprint . The fourth and fifth floor, what is the gross footprint area . 150,000 square feet on the top two floors per flor. The first 8,000. Depending on the floor because there are openings in the floor. Where im going with this, were looking to convert 49,999 to office is the lab area part of that . It is not. How does that work with the yeah. Is it p. D. R. . Thank you, commissioner. Office is permitted here because of what were doing here today. Lab use is in a p. D. R. And the balance of those two floors is going to be lab which is already permitted in the p. D. R. Zoning district. I just wanted to understand that. Great. I have a couple comments on the preservation of the envelope and youve done a great or jenny has done a great h. S. R. And its referenced and it seems to be part of the permit documents but its not listed on the directory nor is the report on the front page. So i dont know if that was overlooked. I know its in your packet but its not listed. I would ask it be added to the front. Well do that. And then, last question i have, is the oversight during the restoration work, who is going to be responsible for overseeing the actual implementation of the treatments. They are engage to participate in that and is the city going to have a roll in that . They will provide oversight as they develop the report. Just got a new contract right there. [laughter] id like to make a motion did you want to say anything else . Id like to make a motion to approve with the conditions of approval but add a condition of approval that all of the storefronts are consistent throughout building. And i dont want to bring in color because i think color is something that is easily changeable if the tenant changes but i would like all the storefronts to be consistent throughout the building.
