One is the Golden Gate Park landmark district which rec and park didnt support but the commission initiated. Designation for the district and boat hose in 2011. One of the considerations for you today is, do you want those properties to remain on the work program or direct staff to bring them forward again for initiation . Or do we take them off the work program . So, the next section i will take you through are the properties staffed identifies as eligible for landmark designation. We put together properties from previously adopted surveys, Historic Context statements and other evaluations.
