Significant Resources are historically or architecturally significant individually, but may not be individually eligible for listing in the National Register. Significant Resources together with the Very Significant Resources are essential to maintain the National Register eligibility of Pier 70. This category includes significant structures for both World War efforts. The Plan calls for rehabilitation of all of these resources. The Plan highly discourages major modifica- tions, and removal would be considered only under extraordinary circumstances.

Context Resources date from the period of significance, and are important cumulatively to the historic district. These resources represent the largest number of historic features at the site and include structures that supported the World War II efforts and build-out of the shipyard in accordance with the 1945 Pier 70 Ship Yard General Plan.

However, new development must respect the unique character and Oversight of Historic Preservation setting of the historic district as a maritime industrial complex. The Port has worked closely with the San Francisco Planning The pattern of the rail spurs and slipways, the scale of buildings, Department, State Historical Resources Commission (SHRC), and open space relationships, and visibility of the Bay are all factors that Office of Historic Preservation (OHP) to review and document have historically guided development in the past, as they should Pier 70 resources. Chapter 10 presents the Port’s implementation in the future. At Pier 70’s height of operations during World War strategy for work with these important regulatory partners in the II, development density was substantially higher than today, as area of historic preservation. This Plan provides the policy priorities reflected in the 1945 Pier 70 Ship Yard General Plan. To realize and guidance to help ensure that the future of the historic resources this Plan, development density must increase and will be subject to of Pier 70 meets the Plan’s historic preservation objectives. Infill Development Design Criteria described in Chapter 9. These criteria support the historic district by determining appropriate scale, design, and siting of new structures so that they help express Pier 70’s historic physical urban form, industrial history, and water- front location, consistent with the Secretary’s Standards.

provide scale, amenities, pedestrian-orientation, and identity for adjacent buildings as well as the district as a whole. They include:

Irish Hill: Irish Hill, at the southwestern corner of the site, provides a clear remnant of the site’s original shoreline and topography. The Plan calls for the retention of the 1.5-acre sloping site as a visual open space.

Central Plaza: The Plan calls for the creation of a central plaza at the “crossroads” of the shipbuilding and rail operations that occurred on the site, adjoining the activities of Union Iron Works/ Bethlehem Steel to the north, and the World War II complex of structures to the south. The design of the space should provide a symbolic and visual center to the complex, including interpretive displays highlighting the history of the site and its maritime activi- Illustrative rendering of boardwalk and pier extensions at Crane Cove Park. ties. Design should also consider selective planting and vegetation as a counterpoint to the industrial hardscape that will predominate. 20th Street Promenade: 20th Street was the principal entry to Pier Machine Shop Courtyard: The Plan calls for an intimately-scaled 70, where thousands of shipyard employees arrived for work and courtyard, surrounded by the massive brick Union Iron Works congregated. Befitting its more public face, the street is lined by Machine Shop (Building 113/114), the reinforced concrete ware- the stately Union Iron Works Machine Shop (Building 113/114), house structures, and the corrugated steel heavy warehouses to the Bethlehem Steel Administration Building (Building 101), Power- south. Relocation of the steel-framed Risdon Ironworks building house (Building 102), and the original 1896 Union Iron Works (Building 21) to this site from its current location approximately Administration office building (Building 104), visually terminating 700 feet to the east would further define this space. The diverse at the distinctive steam powerhouse (Building 103) with its high materials, shapes, and forms of these structures will give the open smokestack. The Plan provides for the extension of 19th Street space a unique quality. The Plan envisions the courtyard as a into the ship repair facility to provide an alternate route for trucks, central hub of activity, including outdoor dining, musical perfor- which currently travel down 20th Street. With the removal of truck mances, and artist exhibits, spilling out from the adjacent interior traffic, the Plan calls for 20th Street to be restored as the principal spaces. A public passage from 20th Street through the Union Iron entry and ceremonial spine to Pier 70’s historic core - a managed Works Machine Shop could provide access to this space. street that could be closed to traffic for special events.

4. Allow for architectural diversity that is compatible with the historic character of the district. Add new architecture that complements the surrounding resources and promotes activity in the area.

• Determine the proximity of new buildings to old, and to each other, by the density of surrounding historic buildings.

Design • Incorporate design elements that are common to or compatible with the area’s design vocabulary; employ these treatments in new and creative ways while maintaining compatibility with the historic district.

• Respect the skyline and visual identity of the Pier 70 Historic District, particularly the interplay of visually prominent site features such as the shipyard cranes, floating dry docks, berthed vessels, and buildings along 20th Street.

• Locate parking garage entries and exits to avoid pedestrian alleys and passages to the extent feasible. Scale, Massing, Form, and Materials • Vary the scale, massing, form, and materials to maintain the complexity of the district, while respecting the historic context.

• Consider massing that steps upward and away from historic build- ings to emphasize these features and to sculpt new construction while also allowing for greater building height and variation.

tative elements. Reuse of salvage materials from the historic district is highly encouraged.

• Incorporate interpretative displays into plazas and streetscape as appropriate.

• Use plant materials judiciously. Consider using free-standing, above-grade planters that highlight the additive nature of plantings.

Buildings • New buildings along 20th and Illinois Streets should have a substantial character, using Buildings 101, 102, and 104 as models. 20th Street in the future - a pedestrian and bicycle oriented place • Buildings internal to the site should create a foil against which the district’s Contributing Resources can be clearly identified. Buildings at the water’s edge should be designed to address their visibility from greater distances over open water. Buildings located in areas with remnants of historic features, such as slip- ways, should reflect the historical relationship of these features with the water and upland portions of the property.

• The design of buildings located adjacent to the shoreline must balance environmental considerations and complement historic district character. Avoid excessive use of glass in buildings that directly interface with the Bay or waterfront parks to reduce hazards to birds that may fly into the windows.

The courtyard area south of Building 113 is envisioned to become a vibrant public place.
