    STAFF REPORT FOR CALENDAR ITEM NO.: 9 FOR THE MEETING OF: September 14, 2017 TRANSBAY JOINT POWERS AUTHORITY BRIEF DESCRIPTION: Adopt rules and regulations for the TJPA’s park on the roof of the transit center, and authorize staff to proceed with requesting proposed amendments to the San Francisco Municipal Code to make TJPA’s park a “park” subject to certain rules and regulations under the Municipal Code. EXPLANATION: The 5.4-acre park and botanical garden on the roof of the Salesforce Transit Center (named “Salesforce Park” and referred to herein as “TJPA’s park”) will be a unique open space and amenity in an area of the City with few parks. TJPA’s park is expected to be a destination for visitors that will include area residents, workers, transit riders and tourists, with programs and events (activation) designed to ensure that the open space is populated throughout the daytime and evening hours of operation. The TJPA is developing a park security program that will support the following goals: • Create an exceptional visitor experience • Preserve the park’s unique ecosystem • Enable full activation of the park • Provide a safe and secure park for all users Most San Francisco parks are owned by the City and County of San Francisco; are under the control, management, and direction of the San Francisco Recreation and Park Commission and the Recreation and Parks Department staff; and are subject to the rules and regulations in the San Francisco Park Code and other provisions of the Municipal Code. The TJPA’s park, like all other San Francisco parks, requires rules and regulations to ensure the enjoyment and safety of all visitors and preservation of the public resource.

Public spaces also serve as a critical asset to low-income families and people living in dense neighborhoods. Public spaces provide the opportunity for people to build community in an increasingly divided city, and well-managed public spaces help to build trust in government.

    OCTOBER 1, 1980 S 'ali 5 fraiiri‘H*n Issue 107 (Eruaaììpr 'A iLiiilit nt' llm'ìrrtìlauììimji tor All 5frr r Police!”.....■»« ^1 ir> ^ ikirx r* n I /%iiu^ \y^i "POLICE? IN THE TENDERLOIN? YOU'VE GOTTA BE KID D IN G!" Where are the cops when being are being robbed, beaten, stabbed, and murdered in the Tenderloin? Where??? Residents, merchants, and those who work in the Central City area of the Tenderloin are at the “mercy” of the hundreds of thugs, drug addicts, thieves, and murderers who have descended upon the area from the East Bay which is conducting a hard crack down on the criminal element in those towns and cities. And they come to the Central City, because it is the poorest area of the city and it is the only area where you can get a cheap room, cruddy as it may be. The San Erancisco Police Department’s only response to the drastic rise in violent crime in the Central City, is to say “We don t have enough men and women.” Really? is the response to that typical SFPD excuse for their incompetence. Eor the residents and mer­ chants of the Central City know that the SEPD has a Vice/Morals Squad that has nothing better to do than to harass gays in the Cen­ tral City and in the Polk area. Violent crime is up over two hundred percent over last year and most of these go unreported, for waiting for a police car is like wait­ ing for a turtle caravan to pass.

  • Historic and Conservation Districts in San Francisco
    SAN FRANCISCO PRESERVATION BULLETIN NO. 10 HISTORIC AND CONSERVATION DISTRICTS IN SAN FRANCISCO HISTORIC DISTRICTS -- INTRODUCTION Over the past thirty-five years, the City and County of San Francisco has designated eleven historic districts and six conservation districts and has recognized approximately 30 districts included in the California Register of Historical Resources, the National Register of Historic Places, or named as National Historic Landmark districts. These districts encompass nationally significant areas such as Civic Center and the Presidio National Park; the City’s first commercial center in Jackson Square; warehouse districts such as the Northeast Waterfront and the South End; and residential areas such as Telegraph Hill, Liberty Hill, Alamo Square, Bush Street-Cottage Row and Webster Street. In general, an historic district is a collection of resources (buildings, structures, sites or objects) that are historically, architecturally and/or culturally significant. As an ensemble, resources in an historic district are worthy of protection because of what they collectively tell us about the past. Often, a limited number of architectural styles and types are represented because an historic district is typically developed around a central theme or period of significance. For instance, the theme for a proposed historic district might be “Late 19th century Victorian housing, designed in the Queen Anne style.” Period of significance refers to the span of time during which significant events and activities occurred within the historic district. Events and associations with historic properties are finite; most resources within an historic district have a clearly definable period of significance. A high percentage of buildings located within districts contribute to the understanding of a neighborhood’s or area’s evolution and development through integrity.
