It is generally bounded by Valencia Street on the east, Sanchez Street and Church Street on the west, 20th Street on the south, and Market Street and the Central Freeway on the north. Also included is the west side of Church Street between 18th Street and 20th Street and the south side of 20th Street between Church Street and Dolores Street. (See Figure 1 for a map of the neighborhood boundary). The Mission Dolores neighborhood shares much in common with the larger Mission District in terms of geography, culture, and pre-World War II demography. It is distinguished, however, by its close association with Mission San Francisco de Asís, known as Mission Dolores. The Mission Dolores neighborhood extends over the approximate area of original non-military Spanish and Mexican period settlement. The San Francisco Planning Department has recently initiated several survey efforts within the larger Mission District, including the Inner Mission North historic resource survey, the Market & Octavia Better Neighborhood Plan historic resource survey, and the Eastern Neighborhoods Mission Area Plan (Inner Mission South) historic resource survey. Through these surveys, the Department is in the process of identifying individual resources and historic districts within the Mission Dolores neighborhood, including those that are associated with the theme of post-1906 reconstruction of the area located east of Dolores Street (the 1906 fireline). The Market & Octavia Better Neighborhood Plan historic resource survey includes the portion of the Mission Dolores neighborhood between Sanchez and Dolores Streets and north of 17th Street and Chula Lane. Several blocks west of Dolores Street and south of Chula Lane/17th Street had not been comprehensively surveyed and recorded within the Mission Dolores neighborhood. (See Figure 1 for map of these survey areas). The Mission Dolores Neighborhood Association (MDNA) has engaged Carey & Co. to produce a comprehensive survey of the Mission Dolores neighborhood, which consists of five broad tasks: 1. Finalize the Mission Dolores Neighborhood Historic Context Statement, which Roland-Nawi Associates drafted in December 2007. 2. Survey previously undocumented structures built before 1964 within the Mission Dolores neighborhood south of 17th Street/Chula Lane and west of Dolores Street (MDNA Survey Area) and prepare a Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) Primary Record (523A) for each structure. 3. Prepare DPR Building, Structure, and Object (532B) Forms for buildings determined to be individually eligible for the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) or the California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR) within the MDNA Survey Area. 4. Review existing documentation, including the survey work conducted in the Mission Dolores neighborhood as part of the Planning Department’s Market & Octavia historic resource survey. 5. Prepare a DPR District Form (523D) for the Mission Dolores Neighborhood 1906 Fire Survivors and Reconstruction Historic District, which includes portions of the Mission Dolores neighborhood west of Dolores Street. The Planning Department is currently completing the Inner Mission North historic resource survey, which includes identification of all potential historic resources within the portion of the Mission Dolores neighborhood east of Dolores Street. Therefore Carey & Co. did not survey or evaluate properties east of Dolores Street, except for institutions or community uses located on the east side of Dolores Street Carey & Co., Inc. 1 Revised Mission Dolores Neighborhood Survey, San Francisco, California November 11, 2009 between Market Street and 20th Street that may have a strong thematic connection to properties on the west side of Dolores Street, as described in the historic context statement. Fig. 1. Map of the Mission Dolores Neighborhood Historic Resource Survey Areas, 2009. Carey & Co., Inc. 2 Revised Mission Dolores Neighborhood Survey, San Francisco, California November 11, 2009 SUMMARY OF FINDINGS Evaluations of Individual Properties Carey & Co. determined that eight residential buildings located within the MDNA survey area appear to be eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) and the California Register of Historical Resources (CRHR) as individual structures: • 3867 20th Street • 666-668 Church Street • 700 Church Street • 718 Church Street • 740 Church Street • 207 Dorland Street • 215 Dorland Street • 223 Dorland Street Constructed between 1916 and 1949, these single-family homes, flats, and apartment buildings appear to be eligible for the NRHP and the CRHR under Criteria C/3 for their significant architectural designs or as the work of master architects. They represent a wide range of styles, from Art Deco (718 Church Street) to Exotic Revival with distinctive Ogee-arched openings (666-668 Church Street) to the transitional International Style (700 Church Street). The latter was designed by the prolific architect Hermann C. Baumann, who designed hundreds of apartment buildings in San Francisco during his career. Constructed in 1931, the row of three residences at 207-223 Dorland Street particularly stand out in this neighborhood as single-family dwellings and as Spanish Colonial bungalows, both of which were unusual to build in the Mission Dolores neighborhood by the 1930s. They were designed by master architect Charles Strothoff. All eight buildings retain a high level of integrity. Carey & Co., Inc. 3 Revised Mission Dolores Neighborhood Survey, San Francisco, California November 11, 2009 Carey & Co. also recommends that the further research be conducted on the following 35 properties to determine if they are also individually eligible for the NRHP, the CRHR, or local designation: • 1919-1923 15th Street • 281-285 Church Street • 2019-2025 15th Street • 287-291 Church Street • 3615-3619 17th Street • 293-297 Church Street • 3639 17th Street • 359-361 Church Street • 3643-3647 17th Street • 363-365 Church Street • 3650 17th Street • 574-576 Church Street • 3656 17th Street • 672 Church Street • 3663-3665 17th Street • 678 Church Street • 3751 17th Street • 790 Church Street • 3864 18th Street • 310 Dolores Street (Mission Dolores Basilica) • 3888 18th Street • 400 Dolores Street • 3809 20th Street • 216 Dorland Street • 3873-3877 20th Street • 231 Dorland Street • 23 Abbey Street • 267 Dorland Street • 31 Abbey Street • 253 Sanchez Street • 37 Abbey Street • 255 Sanchez Street • 67 Chula Lane • 443-447 Sanchez Street • 75 Chula Lane These buildings appear to retain a high level of integrity and to have significant architectural designs, ranging in style and typology from vernacular cottages to Stick-Eastlake, Italianate, and Classical Revival single-family homes, flats, apartment buildings, and residential-over-commercial structures, among others. Mission Dolores Neighborhood 1906 Fire Survivors and Reconstruction Historic District The Mission Dolores Neighborhood 1906 Fire Survivors and Reconstruction Historic District is significant under NRHP/ CRHR Criteria A/1 and C/3.

  • H. Parks, Recreation and Open Space
    IV. Environmental Setting and Impacts H. Parks, Recreation and Open Space Environmental Setting The San Francisco Recreation and Park Department maintains more than 200 parks, playgrounds, and open spaces throughout the City. The City’s park system also includes 15 recreation centers, nine swimming pools, five golf courses as well as tennis courts, ball diamonds, athletic fields and basketball courts. 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.
