MAKING COMMUNITY: THE PLACES AND15 SPACES OF LGBTQ COLLECTIVE IDENTITY FORMATION Christina B. Hanhardt Introduction In the summer of 2012, posters reading "MORE GRINDR=FEWER GAY BARS” appeared taped to signposts in numerous gay neighborhoods in North America—from Greenwich Village in New York City to Davie Village in Vancouver, Canada.1 The signs expressed a brewing fear: that the popularity of online lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) social media—like Grindr, which connects gay men based on proximate location—would soon replace the bricks-and-mortar institutions that had long facilitated LGBTQ community building.

  • Landmark Designation Work Program HEARING DATE: DECEMBER 15, 2010
    Executive Summary Landmark Designation Work Program HEARING DATE: DECEMBER 15, 2010 Date: December 8, 2010 Case No.: 2010.2776 Staff Contact: Mary Brown – (415) 575‐9074 [email protected] Reviewed By: Tim Frye – (415) 575‐6822 [email protected] REQUESTED COMMISSION ACTION This informational presentation to the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) is intended to inform and guide prioritization of the HPC’s Landmark Designation Work Program (Work Program) for FY2010‐2011. There is no action required at this time. Based on the discussion at the December 15, 2010 hearing, the Planning Department (Department) will return with recommendations at the January 19, 2011 HPC hearing. PROJECT BACKGROUND At its August 4, 2010 hearing the HPC directed Department staff to provide background information on Article 10 Landmark designations to date and identify, if any, trends related to the location, property types, social history, and construction dates of existing Landmarks. While there are no specific Landmark designation criteria outlined in Article 10 of the Planning Code, the HPC was also interested in designations that were made primarily for a property’s association with a significant person, event, or cultural group, rather than solely its architectural qualities. It is the Department’s understanding that the analysis contained in this report will be used to inform and prioritize the HPC’s Landmark Designation Work Program (Work Program) for FY2010‐2011. The budget for this fiscal year allocates one full‐time equivalent (FTE) staff to Landmark designation and other related activities as directed by the HPC. Given the number of eligible resources identified in recent surveys and in past Landmark Preservation Advisory Board work programs, and the workload associated with each designation, staffing for only a limited number of designations is feasible.

San Francisco power brokers recognized the economic power of these new internet related firms and worked to lure and retain this new economic force to and within the city. By 1998, their efforts, along with other forces, created an uneven spatial distribution of internet related firms in San Francisco’s eastern quadrant, a historically working-class area of the city. The encroachment of these internet related firms into eastern quadrant neighborhoods like the Mission District, a working-class and predominantly Latina/o area of the city, also brought gentrification.

Subsequent to the Commission’s July 9th initiation action, notice of the approval hearing was published, as required by the Planning Code. On July 23, 2015 the Planning Commission held an informational hearing to consider alternatives to modify the proposed controls and scheduled potential action on the item for today’s hearing – August 6.

This CHRSC rating supercedes the previously adopted CHRSC rating that is indicated on the attached previously completed survey form. The previously adopted CHRSC rating was assigned using limited research and information. Since that time, additional research and information-gathering has been conducted that provides a more complete perspective of properties that meet eligibility standards for federal and State registers as individual historic resources and/or as historic district contributors, of areas that qualify for consideration as historic districts, and of properties that do not qualify for historic status. Consequently, the previously adopted findings of the Inner Mission North Survey have been revised in the following ways: 1) The areas that were previously designated as the Mission Reconstruction Historic District and the Inner Mission Commercial Corridor Historic District were reevaluated as thematic geographic areas, which contain individual historic buildings and historic districts that are related to the thematic contexts, but that do not constitute historic districts in and of themselves. The previous documentation for these areas did not include finite boundaries or fully defined contributing components, which are necessary components of historic districts.
