South Mission Historic Resources Survey Historic District Description San Francisco Planning Department – South Mission Historic Resources Survey Historic District Description Shotwell Street Victoriana East side of Shotwell Street between 21st and 22nd Streets. Boundaries: Shotwell Street between 20th and 25th Streets, as well as portions of South Van Ness Avenue and Folsom Street Period of Significance: 1865 – 1905 Eligibility: National Register of Historic Places Thematic Summary: This north‐south linear area in the central Mission District resembles an “ideal” Victorian‐era suburban neighborhood: a corridor of mostly high‐style architecture and detached, single‐family dwellings for the 19th‐century middle classes. Located between very early streetcar lines on Howard (South Van Ness Avenue) and Folsom Streets, the area developed as one of the Mission’s early, prototypical residential neighborhoods. This historic district, comprised of 134 contributors and 182 total properties, contains significant concentrations of some of the oldest extant properties in the Mission District, as well as some of the area’s finest architectural examples. Here may be found extraordinarily well‐preserved buildings that date to the mid‐ 1860s, including largely unaltered Greek Revival and “National” style folk Shotwell Street Victoriana Historic District Page 1 of 4 San Francisco Planning Department – South Mission Historic Resources Survey Historic District Description residences, as well as extremely early Italianate style dwellings. In addition, the district includes grand townhomes, flats and residences from the early 1870s through the turn of the century. Shotwell Street, one of San Francisco’s most representative and best‐preserved 19th‐century streetscapes, serves as the north‐ south spine of the district. The district also includes remnants of the famed “mansion row” along South Van Ness Avenue, formerly prestigious Howard Street, and portions of Folsom Street. Shotwell Street near 20th Street, February 5, 1887. (San Francisco Public Library Historical Photograph Collection Photo ID AAB‐5310 and AAB‐5309). In the 1850s and early 1860s, the district area, which runs through the center of the Mission District valley, was occupied by a pair of racetracks. The northern portion contained the Union Race Course. The half‐mile racetrack was renovated in 1862 and renamed the Willows Trotting Park, but the increasing value of land in the Mission District proved more valuable than spectator ticket fees, and the final race was run on July 18, 1863. The area’s development as one of the Mission’s earliest residential suburbs followed soon thereafter, spurred on by the extension of horse‐drawn streetcar lines on Folsom and Howard Streets. To the south lay the Pioneer Race Track, owned and built in the early 1850s by pioneer settler George Treat, who was a racing aficionado, an ardent Abolitionist, and a U.S. Army veteran. During late 1861 and early 1862, the Pioneer Race Track briefly served as “Camp Alert” for Civil War volunteers. Though racing continued afterward, the increasing value of Mission District real estate pressured the Treats to sell off some of their holdings. The San Francisco Homestead Association purchased the racetrack in 1863, and twelve blocks of the tract were auctioned on February 15, 1864. As occurred to the north with the Shotwell Street Victoriana Historic District Page 2 of 4 San Francisco Planning Department – South Mission Historic Resources Survey Historic District Description former Union Race Course, the western portion of the Pioneer Race Course (the area nearest to early transit lines on Folsom and Howard Streets) was subdivided and built out as one of the Mission’s first neighborhoods. Extensions and improvements to these transit lines in the 1880s and 1890s promoted a near complete build‐out of the area. West side of Folsom Street south of 25th Street. Highlights of the historic district include the block bounded by South Van Ness Avenue and Shotwell, 20th, and 21st Streets, which is one of the best‐preserved historic blocks in the southern Mission District. The Shotwell Street segment features Greek Revival‐style and Italianate‐style residences, generously set back from the street on their lots, and dating from the mid‐to‐late 1860s. The South Van Ness Avenue (Howard Street) portion likewise includes 1860s Italianate‐ style buildings, as well as several outstanding residences including the John Coop home at 959 South Van Ness—one of San Francisco’s most dramatic Queen Anne‐style mansions. Further south along Shotwell Street between 21st and 22nd Streets are more examples of Greek Revival‐style dwellings, mirrored rows of Italianate‐style townhouses with angled bays, flat‐front Italianate‐style residences, and a very rare example of an L‐shaped one‐story Italianate‐style cottage. Another highlight of this district includes seven single‐family dwellings designed in early Italianate styles (ca. 1875) located on the west side of Folsom Street south of 25th Street. Five of the houses are flat‐front designs and two feature angled bay windows running full height to the cornice. This grouping is Shotwell Street Victoriana Historic District Page 3 of 4 San Francisco Planning Department – South Mission Historic Resources Survey Historic District Description distinguished by a shared development history, architectural cohesion and remarkable state of preservation. Several buildings appear to retain their original site walls and iron fencing, and none have garage additions to their front facades. The district area is bisected by the former right‐of‐way of the San Francisco‐San Jose (later Southern Pacific) Railroad, which was constructed in 1863‐1864, approximately the same time as residential development began in the area. The railroad, which ran through the middle of several residential blocks in the Mission, crossed Shotwell Street at a southeast‐northwest angle between 23rd & 24th streets. The railroad right‐of‐way was abandoned in the 1940s, leaving behind a historic condition, a break in the otherwise continuous residential streetscape.

The Recreation and Park Department manages the Marina Yacht Harbor, Candlestick (Monster) Park, the San Francisco Zoo, and the Lake Merced Complex. In total, the Department currently owns and manages roughly 3,380 acres of parkland and open space. Together with other city agencies and state and federal open space properties within the city, about 6,360 acres of recreational resources (a variety of parks, walkways, landscaped areas, recreational facilities, playing fields and unmaintained open areas) serve San Francisco.172 San Franciscans also benefit from the Bay Area regional open spaces system. Regional resources include public open spaces managed by the East Bay Regional Park District in Alameda and Contra Costa counties; the National Park Service in Marin, San Francisco and San Mateo counties as well as state park and recreation areas throughout. In addition, thousands of acres of watershed and agricultural lands are preserved as open spaces by water and utility districts or in private ownership. The Bay Trail is a planned recreational corridor that, when complete, will encircle San Francisco and San Pablo Bays with a continuous 400-mile network of bicycling and hiking trails. It will connect the shoreline of all nine Bay Area counties, link 47 cities, and cross the major toll bridges in the region.

    TECHNICAL MEMORANDUM: BALBOA PARK STATION AREA PLAN ARCHEOLOGICAL CONTEXT (FINAL) Date: 3 November 2006 To: File No. 2004.1059E. - Balboa Park Station Area Plan From: Randall Dean Topic: an evaluation of potential presence & significance of archeological resources within the Balboa Park Station Area Plan area OBJECTIVES The purpose of this memorandum is provide background information for the environmental evaluation of the proposed Balboa Park Station Area Plan (BPSAP) regarding potential effects to legally-significant archeological resources ("significant" archeological resources as defined by CEQA §15064.S(b) and (c)(l)). To achieve this objective the memorandum provides an historic context of the Plan Area to serve as the basis for a preliminary identification and significance evaluation of archeological properties that may be present within the Plan Area. The historical and archeological information provided in this report is based on secondary archeological literature related to the Plan Area and on primary and secondary historical documentation including historic maps (U.S. General Land Office plats, U.S. Coast Surveys, Sanborn Fire Insurance maps etc.) U.S. Census Bureau population schedules, city directories, Municipal Reports, the Western Neighborhoods Project historical reports, etc). This report provides a general (program-level) discussion of the general types ("property types") of archeological resources that may be present within the Plan Area and, thus, potentially affected by future physical projects under the proposed regulatory General Plan and Planning Code changes proposed in the BPSAP. Site-specific identification of potential archeological resources is attempted for the Phelan Loop Site and the Kragen Auto Parts site for which the BPSAP proposes specific physical projects.

  • Appendix a Performance Review Checklist/Toolkit
    APPENDIX A PERFORMANCE REVIEW CHECKLIST/TOOLKIT Annual hub performance reviews/evaluations will be conducted by MTC at each of the major regional transit hubs to implement recommended hub-related improvements. In addition, there are recommended systemwide connectivity improvements – the 511 program and fare coordination - that will also be implemented. This appendix is organized into two main elements: 1. specific requirements for hub-related improvements and systemwide connectivity improvements - Appendix A1- Wayfinding Signage Checklist - Appendix A2 – Transit Information Display Case Requirements - Appendix A3 – 511/Real-time Program Requirements 2. recommended guidelines and standards that should be followed in order to implement recommended hub-related improvements - Appendix A-4 – Connectivity Guidelines - Appendix A-5 – Last Mile and Hub Amenities Checklist - Appendix A-6 – Hub Activity Survey - Appendix A-7 – Hub Schedule Adherence Survey The hub-related and the systemwide improvement recommendations included in the study and this appendix constitute the Transit Connectivity Plan that will be incorporated into MTC’s Transit Coordination Implementation Plan pursuant to Street and Highway Code Section 30914.5 (as promulgated by RM2) and Government Code Section 66516.5. RM2 stipulates that the transit operators must comply with the connectivity plan recommendations in order to receive STA funds and RM2 funds identified for designated projects/operators. This plan recommends that MTC monitor compliance at the 12 hubs with the implementation plan; the intent is to eventually ensure compliance for all 21 hubs identified as part of the regional network within the next 5 – 7 years. A - 1 APPENDIX A-1 WAYFINDING SIGNAGE The wayfinding signage checklist is intended for use in evaluating the current characteristics of a hub and defining existing problems and issues.
