SFGTV Government Access Programming January 20, 2018

Be conscious of time. And if you would like to talk about public benefits, i have a slide on that. Or if you want to see the context for phase two and three, i can flip to that. In general, thats the program of phase one. We are looking at demolition starting first quarter, maybe Second Quarter. Well be doing grading and Building Infrastructure probably Second Quarter and hopefully well be opening the new and rehabilitated buildings in late 2020, early 2021. And are those intended to be historic tax credit projects . We would love them to, and we were happen to see that although there were modifications to the program that the tax credits did survive. So weve filed a part 1 and we have a conversation to have with nps. Great. Thank you. Any questions . Commissioner pearlman . Commissioner pearlman do you know the timing related to the orton project . I believe some of theirs will open late this year and others will trail into 2019. Oh, okay. Theyre in advance. Orton has one tenant in today in building 14. Later this month they will have west side of building 13. Later this spring, the east side of 113 occupied. And 104 occupied. So after the spring, what well be waiting for is for Restoration Hardware and anticipating late this year and early next year and then were in discussions with how to get 102 up and ready. Are they doing 20th street improvement snz that will be part of the port city project. Well take Public Comment. Does any member of the public wish to speak . If so, come forward. Seeing and hearing none, well close Public Comment. Commissioners, any comment . This is great, but appropriate of your question about relationship of what is happening and the orton historic renovations, i would be interested in an update on that. I know we had a presentation. It was a long time ago and then another one got canceled, i believe. Yeah. We can ask for one. I like what you were just saying i think there are two ways of handling it. I was down there last week and its a phenomenal its phenomenal to go down there and see the facilities live and in action. So we could do either or both. You let us know. We could do a tour. Tours are interesting, but theyre challenging logistically because we have to have Public Comment. Maybe eddie can come back i think it would be helpful. If you like, we could work with the port to arrange another presentation. I think the last time, everything was speculative and didnt show drawings or photographs. Its very conceptual and now its real projects. Thank you. We have no further comments. Well move on. Thank you for your presentation. Good material. Thank you. Very good, commissioners. That will place us on item 15 for alcatraz embarkation site at piers 3133. We have a request from the port to continue this for two weeks to february 21. We need to ask for Public Comment on this item. Any member of the public wish to comment . Seeing none, we close Public Comment. Move to continue . Yes. Second. On that motion [roll call] so moved. Commissioners, motion passes unanimously 50, placing us on the final item today, item 16, landmark designation Works Program and draft Cultural Heritage work program yachterly reports.

You also adopted eureka statement. 75 draft of three National Register nominations compared by consultants for the Department San francisco sites of civil rights project. Those nominations are for glide memorial church, downtown ywca and Masonic Lodge and hotel. We forwarded logs for comment and we have provided those to the consultants. That summarizes the main projects in the active pipeline. In addition to the landmark designation, staff serves aztec knickal support to the Historic Fund committee. Were working on the reports for sacred heart, in which it was initiated on october 5, 2016, and the item was heard again today. The new deal era that were forwarded to the board of supervisors for recommendation. The residents Historic Context statement. The Eureka Valley concept statement. Africanamerican historical concept statement, which was taken off the calendar and continued indefinitely, as were making edits in response to community comments. Copy editor is also working with us and we expect to complete that document this quarter and will bring it back after redistributing it to the community. In addition, were working on hpc with latino statement. And during the reporting quarter, received documentation from the Consultant Team and will be reviewing that this quarter. The Department Survey Team continued to look at the lgbtq heritage strategy. First, to prepare landmark designation report within 150 staff hours. The hours have not increased, 206 hours continues to be the only property that exceeds that amount. The last completed designation took a total of 74 hours to complete. Article 10 and 11 designation, which is on our website since april, 2015. The third performance measure was to provide comments regarding completeness or schedule hpc hearings for all communitysponsored applications. Staff got the application and has been introduced to the board of supervisors. The staff will maintain the Quarterly Report. The next update april 8, 2018. Commissioners, that concludes my presentation. Well come back to you april 18, 2018. This concludes my presentation. Shelly caltagirone would like to present on Cultural Heritage work that the department is going. Doing. Hello. Shelley caltagirone, Cultural Heritage staff. Sorry for the technical problems. Were drafting a Cultural Heritage work program and we would like to start reporting quarterly just like we do at the landmark designation work program. I have a presentation and handouts if you want to look at it, but its really just a copy and paste of the language that you have in your report. Raise your hand if you would like one. Okay. So i will walk you through the contents of the report and then on the last slide i reiterated some of the questions we had about formatting and content of the report so we can revise for the next quarterly. I will begin with the event. I did not list all of the events on the side, but wanted to note some of the events, which the commission did not attend, so nonhearing items the first being on december 4, the Planning Department Cultural Heritage specialist started working, and that is me. [applause] ive taken over the new position and i will be managing the Quarterly Reports moving forward. On december 5, staff attended with commissioner matsuda, a branding committee. And well work back on that in the next couple of months. I think its planned to conclude in april. So we should have some products from that to share with you. And then on december 15, Planning Department staff attended a kickoff meeting with the lgbtq Strategy Working Group and it will develop the development strategy. The next section is the Cultural Heritage district designations and strategies. The only recent designation is the San Francisco leather cultural district. It was proposed in september, 2017. Supervisors kim and sheehy announced the draft legislation and meetings are being held by the working group and they also have a website, where you can sign their legislation, map of their district and inventory of their Cultural Heritage assets and i will make closer contact with the working group and may have more information to share with you either when the Cultural Heritage assets meetings or the next Quarterly Report. Next are historic preservations from committee projects. The only project we had to report on is the lgbtq Cultural Heritage strategy report. Its a request for 50,000. At the time of the request, staff had spent 630 hours on Technical Assistance to the working group and we anticipate another 300 to 350 hours and the project is intended to conclude in april of this year. Thats probably wishful thinking, but thats our goal. Some other Cultural Heritage work program items include the legacy business oral history project. The department partnered with the usf professors to document some oral histories from legacy businesses that had been previously nominated. We heard that the professors are interested in repeating that program for summer 2018. So i will be reporting back to you in the next couple of months on how we can structure that program and how many oral histories we might be able to get out of that work. We also have, as i mentioned, the legacy business branding project. And i will not repeat those details. The next section goes over our Performance Measures. We are proposing four Performance Measures, one being the hours to prepare and process a legacy business registry application. Next, the hours to prepare the Cultural Heritage strategy. And, third, a survey methodology for evaluating Cultural Heritage. Thats something that i put in a place holder deadline of june 30, 2019. I think theres quite a bit of work to do there, but weve gotten started with some of the work. Our intern in 2017 prepared for us. So were in progress and hopefully well have methodology well work on it this year. Well submit and present a work Program Quarterly report with the next due in march. And then the next two slides break down our fte and proposed hours for the Cultural Heritage specialist position, which in theory encompasses most of the heritage work program. These numbers could change, but theyre what were presenting to the department right now in terms of budgeting this position. So approximately 1 4 of the fte goes towards ongoing programs including Cultural Heritage district liaison, Community Working groups and other agencies within the citys handling. Also acting as a legacy Business Liaison and doing work to help outreach and development of the program. Next is the Cultural Heritage policy development and legislation, a catchall for any legislation that may be forthcoming concerning Cultural Heritage issues. And then we have a general category for Community Outreach and training. And then last, administrative work for the Cultural Heritage assets committee. Specific case work includes Technical Assistance for the cultural districts or cultural strategies, work on the Cultural Heritage element. We do have a final draft thats ready for internal review with the Planning Department and well be developing our Public Outreach program this year. Were also ready to start working on the Environmental Review for that document. We also have the citywide survey, which well be working on a methodology to survey intangible Cultural Heritage. We have the context statements, which i would be assisting with, developing a framework for intangible resources and area plans that our Citywide Division proposes. We would help to navigate Cultural Heritage issues in the comments. Were working on the film in that capacity and last the legacy business cases, as i presented today. So these are some the questions we have for the commission, simply, the report format. If you have any recommendations for how we present the information. The level of information for different sections, if you would like to see more or less. The Performance Measures, if you have any recommendations for Performance Measures. And there are programs and projects. The landmarks designation also has a process section that outlines the process for designations. If you would like to see something similar, we can attempt that. Right now, theres not a clear process for Cultural Heritage district nomination, but we can take a stab at it. And look at what has been done in the past and maybe give a best practices guideline there. And then last, had some recommendations for other report sections you might be interested in including potential future projects, any Public Outreach work that were doing or planning on completing, and then any nondepartmental Cultural Heritage work if we have a Current Events section things that we hear about that were not directly working on. I would welcome your comments and thats the completes my presentation. Commissioners, first, i wanted to thank shelley and desiree for a great presentation, but also to point out to you that with shelleys presentation, there is a lot of detail that were showing you related to how were dividing that fte. We think its helpful and necessary because its a new position. As this is a growing area of concern and interest by the city family and the public. If there are future budgetary implications to expand the number of Cultural Heritage specialists we have, we hope that tracking it in this detail could make the case. Its not meant to inundate you with details, but if that information is helpful, we can include it maybe in the appendix or give it to you on an asneeded basis, but be aware that were tracking it closely for those reasons. Commissioner matsuda . Commissioner matsuda thats a really good idea to help desiree and shelley out in the future. I was going to mention the methodology for intangible resources, that would be such a hot topic for the National Trust and so when and when thats available to make those suggestive classes or discussions, i would like to see that as well as legacy businesses. And, actually well, the Commission Gets excited about hearing from legacy businesses, so if they could be a part of a discussion at the trust, i think that would encourage other communities, where there are a lot of small and medium businesses to think of similar legislation, so we can spread the word. Thank you very much. Commissioner pearlman . Commissioner pearlman thank you. I think the idea of the tracking is really significant, one, to see if theres growth. The other is just to see how it plays out. I mean, youve got these as place holders now and you are going to find that one area will be much more need much more time and then what do you do . And ho do you balance those needs . The other thing i was going to say, i was excited in desirees presentation, as im preparing for a talk i am giving in a couple of weeks, i was looking at the history of landmarks and i was looking by decade and how many. And it started dropping way decade starting in
