Façade Retention Policy Discussion Part 3 DATE: August 2, 2017 TO: Historic Preservation Commission FROM: Justin Greving, Preservation Planner, 415-575-9169 REVIEWED BY: Timothy Frye, Historic Preservation Officer, 415-575-6822 RE: Façade Retention Policy Discussion Part 3 On December 8, 2015, the Historic Preservation Commission discussed the issue of façade retention and explored a range of projects that featured some form of façade retention. At the end of the discussion, commissioners requested a follow-up presentation focusing on San Francisco-based façade retention projects with additional information about the process of design review and approval for these projects. On April 6, 2016, planning staff followed up with a brief presentation on various examples of façade retention projects in San Francisco with some additional context about the process of approvals for these projects. Commissioners requested that planning staff follow up with the presentation of a draft policy memo on the topic of façade retention. The purpose of this discussion is to review and comment on the draft language of the policy memo on façade retention presented by planning staff. A draft of the memo will be presented to the HPC during the hearing. Packets for the previous HPC hearings on façade retention have been provided to the commissioners to give some background for this discussion. Attachment A: December 2, 2015 Façade Retention Policy Discussion memo Attachment B: April 6, 2016 Façade Retention Policy Discussion memo Memo DATE: December 2, 2015 TO: Historic Preservation Commission FROM: Justin Greving, Preservation Planner, 415-575-9169 REVIEWED BY: Timothy Frye, Preservation Coordinator, 415-575-6822 RE: Façade Retention Policy Discussion On March 18, 2015 The Historic Preservation Commission adopted Resolution No. 0746 to clarify expectations regarding the preparation of preservation alternatives in Environmental Impact Reports. This resolution specifically omitted language about façade retention to allow for a discussion of the topic from a historic preservation and urban design perspective at a later date. Planning Staff will provide a brief presentation on various examples of façade retention projects within the United States. As background material on the subject of façade retention, Planning Staff have provided an excerpt from, Architecture of Compromise: A History and Analysis of Facadism in Washington, D.C., a thesis prepared by Kerensa Sanford Wood in 2012 in partial fulfilment of a M.S. in Historic Preservation at Columbia University. This excerpt provides a brief history of façade retention in the United States, explores recent scholarship on the subject, and explains some definitions of the practice. The purpose of this background reading material is to examine the definition of façade retention and understand some of the more recent scholarship and architectural criticism on the subject. The following questions regarding façade retention as a preservation practice may be useful starting points for discussion among commissioners: When is it acceptable to preserve part of a building in one instance and the “whole” building in another? Are there instances when façade retention may be an acceptable practice from an urban design perspective? Can the issue of façade retention be addressed in the form of guidelines or written policy, or must it be dealt with on a case by case basis? Planning Staff have also provided a photo attachment of buildings that feature varying forms of façade retention. Commissioners are invited to look at the projects and decide which ones, if any, are appropriate urban design or preservation alternatives.

If these changes are not well-managed, the cityscape will be threatened because a city is composed of buildings. A good city should combine both growth and preservation. Controlling change in historic buildings is one way to get this balance. Because a city can not simply preserve all buildings nor demolish all of them, there should be a methodology to decide what buildings should be preserved and which should be demolished. Furthermore, which building should be preserved as a museum, and which should be allowed rehabilitation could also be decided by this same method. Since the concept of combining history into people's daily lives is prevalent, historic buildings can be changed according to contemporary needs.
