Items acted upon today are expected to appear on the Board of Supervisors agenda of July 28th, 2026, unless otherwise stated.

Thank you so much, Mr.

Clerk.

Please call item number one.

Agenda item number one is an ordinance amending the public works code to authorize the Department of Public Works to recover the city's costs for abating illegal dumping with uh through administrative enforcement proceedings against persons responsible for the illegal dumping and it also affirms the planning department's secret determination.

This item is on our agenda as a potential committee report and it may be sent to the Board of Supervisors for consideration tomorrow, July 21st, 2026.

Thank you so much.

And I do see Ramses uh here who's gonna uh present, but um I will turn it over to you, uh Supervisor.

Thank you for introducing this item.

Thank you, Chair Melgar, and thank you to the committee members for having me this afternoon.

This is uh one of our uh one of our ongoing efforts to try and provide conditions for cleaner streets in San Francisco.

And in particular, this piece of legislation allows us to pursue a cost recovery model for illegal dumping.

And let me unpack each of those.

Uh when I say illegal dumping, I'm of course not talking about someone uh littering a um a candy bar wrapper on the side of the street.

I am talking about much more calculated persistent conditions where we have maybe on the same corner, we have someone that is unloading uh the contents of their uh house every single week, or maybe we have on another corner someone who is unloading the contents of their construction vehicle and site.

Uh and um, you know, these are really large cleanups that require a lot of work from public works that can span hours and hours, uh, climb into the many thousands of dollars in terms of the time, labor, sometimes materials required for required for actually cleaning those up.

Um however, we are currently capped at a thousand dollar fine even for some of these larger uh larger uh debris and illegal dumping sites.

Um our legislation here simply allows us to pursue an administrative uh pathway to pursue cost recovery, so actually charging what it costs the city to clean up these sites.

Um we think this is a really good tool for public works to have.

Uh in conversations with public works, we've uh we've had a number of really good questions come forward, particularly thanks to you, thank you, Ramses, for uh all the questions you've asked about how exactly this works and how exactly we make sure that this uh goes beyond legislation is actually implemented successfully.

Um we've been having conversations about how we accurately uh tee up those cleanup costs and just more on the administrative clerical side, how we actually uh calculate all of this.

And I think um those that have been productive conversations um and they've also brought forward, you know, some of the some of the things that we need to do a better job of supporting you with Ramsey's the fact that you um are many uh positions down on your enforcement team and code enforcement team.

Um so that's something we intend to support you and work with the mayor's office on.

Um I should also mention that uh when I introduced this legislation a few months ago.

I also at the same time called for a hearing on a legal dumping enforcement so we can examine both this but just the the broader issue as well.

And I see um colleagues in the queue, so uh I'll leave it, I'll leave it there and I'm available for questions, and thank you again for hearing this item today.

Thank you, Supervisor Sauter.

Uh Supervisor Chen.

Thank you, Chair Malga.

Um San Francisco has an illegal dump problem, and I think this issue is not really new to us.

I hear it from my residents in my district as well, and I know that this is a persistent concern of residents throughout the city, even though officials have come back it for years.

City data continue to show illegal dumping continue to be a bin for residents.

I really want to express my appreciation uh to Supervisor Salter for exploring additional tools such as this one to address this problem.

I'm sure more potential operational question will come up, which will need to be adjusted to implement this legislation.

But my hope is that we can become an effective informant.

I hope is that this can become an effective uh enforcement to especially to target repeated offenders who cost the city a lot of money in enforcement expense expenses.

So I'll be voting in support.

Um thank you.

Thank you.

Um and please add me as a co-sponsor as well.

Thank you.

Um, Mr.

Alvarez, did you have anything to add or we're okay?

So let's go to public comment on this item, please, Mr.

Clerk.

Thank you, Madam Chair, land use and transportation.

We'll now hear public comment related to agenda item number one changes to the public works code related to enforcement against illegal dumping.

If you have public comment for this item, please come forward to the lectern at this time.

And Madam Chair, it appears we have no speakers.

Okay.

Public comment on this item is now closed.

Um, would you like to make a motion that we move this uh forward uh with a positive recommendation?

Yes, Chair.

I would like to move as a committee report.

Yes.

I would like to move uh uh item number one as a committee report with uh to the full board with positive recommendations.

On the motion offered by the vice chair that this ordinance be recommended to the Board of Supervisors as a committee report to Vice Chair Chen.

I Chen I, Member Machmo.

Mahmoud I, Chair Melgar, I.

Madam Chair, there are three eyes.

Thank you.

That motion passes.

Congratulations, Supervisor.

Thank you.

Uh, let's go to item number two, please.

Agenda item number two is an ordinance amending the planning code to designate the House of Latin Rock located at 2880 25th Street as a landmark consistent with the standards of Article 10 of the Planning Code.

It also affirms the planning department's secret determination and makes findings of public necessity convenience and welfare under planning code section 302 and findings of consistency with the general plan and the eight priority policies of planning code section 101.1.

Like the previous item, this is also on our agenda as a potential committee report, and it may be sent to the Board of Supervisors for consideration tomorrow, July 21st, 2026.

Thank you.

Uh this committee now welcomes District 9 supervisor Jackie Fielder, the sponsor of this legislation.

Uh, before I turn it over to you, uh Supervisor Fielder, I have to tell you I'm so happy that you are doing this.

I have been to many jam sessions at this house before I became supervisor.

Uh, but I see like half the neighborhood is here.

So um I'm very, very excited that you're doing it, and uh the floor is yours.

Thank you so much, Chair Melgar, and thank you, committee members, for welcoming me and hearing this item today.

I'm very happy to be here in support of landmarking this beloved mission home, the House of Latin Rock, located at 25th and York Streets in the Mission District within the Calle Metinquatro Latino Cultural District.

The property owned by Native San Franciscan Richard Segovia, who is here today and known by the community as the House of Latin Rock, serves as a physical anchor for the Latin Rock music movement.

Latin Rock is a musical style that fuses Latin American and Caribbean rhythms, soul, jazz, funk, blues, psychedelia, and rhythm and blues, and was popularized by musicians who began practicing and performing in the mission district in the 1970s and 80s.

For decades, this house has functioned as an active cultural hub, serving as a rehearsal space, recording studio, and collaborative environment for local artists.

Richard has mentored countless local youth and aspiring musicians in his home.

And notably, it is the site where artist Michael Rios created the cover art for Carlos Santana's multi-platinum album, Supernatural.

Building the building is remarkable for its large public mural painted by Priscita Isa's urban youth arts program.

This artwork is the only mural in San Francisco dedicated to documenting the complete history of the Latin rock genre, depicting over 87 local musicians alongside traditional Chicano and Aztec motifs.

Neighbors and tourists alike always take note of the bright and colorful artwork, a living and breathing structure that aptly symbolizes the spirit and culture of the mission district.

I want to thank Planning and my legislative aide Anna Herrera for their work on this ordinance.

A very special thank you and recognition to Richard Segovia, the owner and legend behind the House of Latin Rock, who is a mentor and community leader who is always generous with his time and home, and without whom none of this would be possible.

The Historic Preservation Commission unanimously recommended landmarking of the House of Latin Rock in May.

And colleagues, I hope to have your support in sending this item to the full board with a positive recommendation.

Thank you.

Thank you, uh Supervisor.

Um I know that also Jose Queer, Dr.

Loco, who uh is not with us anymore, but we last recently would also have been very happy about this today.

Um let's uh go to a public comment.

I don't see anyone else on the roster with comments.

Thank you, Madam Chair, land use and transportation.

When I hear public comment related to agenda item number two, a landmark designation for the House of Latin Rock.

If you have public comment for this item, please line up to speak along that western wall.

I'm pointing out with my left hand.

And the first of you can come forward to lecture and for your public comment now if you're interested in giving it away.

If you're here in support of this item and you want to speak, come up to the microphone.

Right up to the microphone.

And if you're waiting for your chance to speak, you can line up to speak along that western wall.

I'll start your time.

Oh, either one is fine.

Okay.

Um I'm Richard Sogobi, the owner of the House of Latin Rock.

My whole life.

My whole decade of my life.

We should cut to the chase and make this house today, the house of Latin Rock.

Because I don't know if you knew it.

I believe in God.

I believe in the spirits.

Today is Carlos Santana's birthday.

And now we're here working to make this house the house of Latin Rock on his birthday.

I mean, you couldn't set that up.

And I gave my whole life, my whole career and everything, into this beautiful home that my mother and father bought decades, decades and decades ago.

And I'm proud to say that the La Mission has something that we can call our own.

A sound, a music, a culture, like Latin Rock, the music of Malo.

It's like when you think of Motown, you think of Detroit.

Well, we have something we can call as ours, you know, and my friend Martin, who used to come to my house when he was he's my pastor when he was eight years old.

And he would come in my garage and watch us perform as a young child.

Gave me this record, and I just realized that one of Model's records with him and our celeel was created in the house.

So thank you for giving me the time to talk.

I love you.

Let's make this happen, okay?

Thank you.

Thank you for your comments.

So the next speaker, please.

Hello.

I'm glad to be here in honor of uh Richard Segovia in the House of Latin Rock.

I'm uh my name is Richard Bean, singer and songwriter of the hit song Suavecito for the band Malo, which Malo was actually formed in San Francisco and actually formed in the mission district, right around the corner from his house.

Uh I've known Richard for over over fifty, fifty something years.

Um that house has been subject to a lot of different people, especially all the artists that are on the wall, uh, the culture that it brings to everybody.

They finally put my picture up there.

Um but um I just want to say that um ri Richard has put so much heart into this uh song.

I'm sorry, into the um god.

I can't believe I'm tight.

It's easier to speak to thousands of people than it's just you guys, but anyway, he put a lot of uh effort into his house to make it not only a studio but also uh open gender for uh many many people that were going to come and just uh hang out and have fun there and just you know be a part of the be a part of the culture of of Suavecito and also the house on there.

Um I feel that uh the house should become a landmark because it brings a lot of color not only to the mission district but also to uh to the culture of of the mission district of what we have there thank you Richard Bean for your comments we have to move on to the next speaker thank you so much we'll see let's have the next speaker please thank you very much is uh Richard was talking about the young boy that would go to his house at eight years old well that that'd be me and so I'm not eight years old anymore um Richard Bean here he he started off putting Malu on the map with the hit song Suavecito and in 1993 I was blessed to become the new lead singer for Malo and I went on to record two of their last albums.

But uh I wrote I wrote a thank you to Richard about a year ago thanking him for all the musicians that came.

If you know anything about baseball baseball has a bullpen where they pulled their pictures the San Francisco Mission District was like a bullpen bands from all over the world from Slying the Family Stone to Sheila E to Santana they all pulled musicians out of the mission district people that have gone through Richard's house to record and to rehearse and to play and so I and I thanked them for that because the legacy continues when we're far long and gone our legacy will could will remain there in the mission district for the next generation to learn from and to know where the music uh the Latin rock music came from and so for that I I thank Richard and uh and I hope this all goes well because what you guys are doing is you guys are um building a cornerstone for the San Francisco mission district for generations to come.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you for comments.

So the next speaker please good afternoon.

My name is Cassandra Segovia and I'm the proud to be here today as my father's daughter.

Growing up I watched my dad dedicate his life to preserving the history of Latin rock our culture and the stories that have shaped this community.

This has never been just a passion for him.

It has been his life's work.

He has always believed that history only survives when people choose to protect it.

A few years ago my daughter my father was diagnosed with leukemia as his daughter watching him face that battle has been one of the hardest experiences of my life but what has inspired me most is that even through treatments and difficult days he has never stopped fighting for his mission.

This continues to give his he continues to give his time his knowledge sorry I told him I wouldn't cry in his heart to preserving this history because he believes future generations deserve to know where they came from to me this house is more than historic building it represents resilience culture and the legacy of a community whose stories deserve to be remembered.

I hope you'll vote to make this home a landmark not only to preserve a place but to honor their history music and the culture that it represents for generations to come.

Thank you for your time.

Thank you for your comments next speaker please afternoon everybody my name is Charlie Morales San Francisco native born raised and still live in uh the city I just want to uh come up here to step up to the plate and um uh tell Richard that uh ever since we met in 2016 uh he's opened his house to myself and showed me the history of Latin rock I didn't really I wasn't as knowledgeable um and so uh he gave me an opportunity to actually I volunteered with um to paint uh the house and so I didn't really I was still learning how to um do a mural and so they let me paint the outline do the outlines just simple stuff in over six eight month span uh it slowly transformed into what it is today and so um he's opened his house to me he's played a uh profound impact positive impact on my life and helped me navigate uh my career as I went left for uh two years to go to pursue my master's degree uh he's always opened his home up to me and so I just want to say I'm greatly appreciated and um this is one reason why uh this I thought it was already a historic landmark so I'm just here to just uh bat for the house and make sure it goes through.

He's played a uh profound impact, positive impact on my life and helped me navigate uh my career as I went left for uh two years to go to pursue my master's degree.

Uh he's always opened his home up to me, and so I just want to say I'm greatly appreciated, and um this is one reason why uh this I thought it was already a historic landmark.

So I'm just here to just uh bat for the house and make sure it goes through.

Thank you.

Thank you for your comments.

Next speaker, please.

All right, good afternoon.

I'm Arturo Carrillo.

People know me from Walden House, Health Right 360, Carnaval.

So I just wanted to acknowledge Richard and support the Latin Rock uh site because you know there's only a few people who are uh on touring musicians like Santana.

Most of us are psychologists, healthcare workers, musicians, uh bus drivers, you know.

Uh and it's the inspiration of hope that represents the community when we're in crisis.

We come together and we do poetry, we sing songs, we bring the community together, and we teach the youth, right, what culture is all about.

So it's really, really important that we keep that essence and the historic.

You know, we talk about seven generations, and without stories like that, we're not we're gonna lose our our our legacy.

We want to make sure we keep that.

Thank you very much.

Thank you for your comments.

Next speaker, please.

Stay on the good afternoon.

My name is Tony Vella.

I am a San Francisco native, Glenn Park and Outer Mission, uh local musician all my life and sag after motion picture and television stunt coordinator and side board member.

I've been a musician since I could pick up two sticks and begin drumming.

My biggest influence among others was when Santana came out with evil ways, and every garage band began playing and emulating them.

Then came others, Malo, Sapo, Azteca, Bandito, Dakila, and more, all with that sound.

In addition, many, many local bands began doing either covers or creating their own versions of what was created and originated here in San Francisco in the mission over 60 years ago.

This sound has nearly been forgotten until over 20 years ago when the book Voices of Latin Rock came out, followed by the concert at Bimbo's a year later.

These events prompted not only the resurgence and interest in that sound, but now several local bands were starting to reproduce it, including my band, Mestizo Classic Latin Rock.

The sound began to attract both old and new audiences looking to see it performed live again, and new audiences who were just learning about it.

Additionally, it brought back new interest in the original bands who had written and performed it, and they began hitting the road again, uh both locally and nationally, including not only Santana, but War, El Chicano, Malo, Sapo, and even Azteca, Pete Escovito's band made a comeback.

One of the persons who never forgot this sound and was born into it literally is Richard Bandito Segovia.

I've known Richard for more than 20 years, uh more closely.

Uh we met back when I was a teenager, but I was a little different.

But for the last more than 20 years, uh we've been pretty close.

Richard perpetuated the mission musical time warp, and stepping into his home and studio is like traveling back to when it was all happening.

But for Richard, it has never stopped.

It never stopped.

Educating people.

Thank you for your comments.

Not only I have to finish.

The speaker's time is concluded, we have to move on to the next speaker after my nuns.

Okay.

Thank you.

I heard you to vote yes.

There was only two more paragraphs.

Thank you.

Hi, um, my name is Issa Hayes.

Um, I'm one of um Richard's students.

Um I just want to say that you guys should vote yes because Richard is so loving and he always opens his doors to me and so many other um people of the next generation to carry on his legacy in the music.

Um he's loving and supportive, and I would not be here where I am today musically at all without the support of him.

He helped me get into Ruthisawa School of the Arts.

I would probably not be there if it weren't for him and his support.

Um I'm fourth generation in the mission district, and I've always grown up passing his house and always wondering, oh, who lives there, and oh I want to like it seems so cool, and I like understand they was like for musicians and stuff, and all of a sudden I grew up and now I'm one of the musicians who plays in that house and learns from Richard, and I'm just so very grateful for all the love and support and just kindness he has given me and so many other people the next generation and I plan to uh help carry on his legacy and the legacy of the house.

And I plan to help carry on his legacy and the legacy of the house.

So I really urge you guys to vote yes.

Thank you.

I got her um she's uh gonna take a test to get into soda school of the arts real quick.

And she didn't know what to do.

I'm sorry to say, Mr.

Segovia, during public comment, each person just has one opportunity to come up.

But if the supervisors uh have further questions for you after the after public comments is closed, then we can hear additional remarks.

Next speaker, please.

Yeah, hi, I'm Jim Corter.

I'm the director of the Walk of Fame at Civic Center across the street, and I've known Richard for a lot of a lot of years.

And um, I'd love that on Santana's birthday, we could be standing here talking about this because uh when we were doing the BMI's 15th anniversary, the director asked me to do a poster of the famous musicians from the Bay Area that have been involved with the Bammies.

And that meant I had to do the whole Bay Area in San Francisco had a part of this big poster, and I knew that'd be crowded area with a lot of musicians, so I called Santana first.

I said, Carlos, I'm gonna ask you first where do you want to be on this poster in the city, where there's gonna be a lot of other people around you.

And of course he said, in the mission, just like that.

And I remember when I got to go into Richard's house because I'd seen the outside, which is glorious, as you know.

But inside, there's so many more stories on the ceilings, down in the stairs, all over the place that people will not get to know that this Latin House of Rock should have a parentheses for jazz and blues behind it.

Carlos first band, Carlos Santana Blues band.

So I just am very, very wanting to see that when the tour buses come around, they go into the mission and show that building with all those murals on it and know that they're gonna be taken care of and that it's gonna be part of the landmark for all the work that Richard and his family's done for this.

And um I just want to uh encourage that to happen, and that's all I got to say about that.

Richard's done more for and that building cannot move, but people can come to it and see it.

And the stories will be out there.

So God bless Richard.

Thank you so much for your comments.

Let's have the next speaker, please.

And if there's anyone else who has public comment for this item from whom we have not yet already heard, you can line up to speak along this speaker and we'll hear from you too.

My name is Maurice Salinas.

In 1964, when I arrived in the United States, I founded created a band called The Malibus.

In the Malibu's, uh there's been so many people that have started there and became famous.

One of them is Richard Bean.

Another one is uh Arcelio Garcia.

The band used to play a lot of the songs popular in those days, and became very famous in many of the places, venues in the San Francisco area, especially the mission district.

We were the kings of the mission YMCA every Saturday.

I left the music while I'm here to pay respects to Richard Segovia on his life project, his home, which has become the house for many of the people that are involved in the music.

So hopefully this will be something that will stay forever in the Latin community.

And uh very proudly I can say I was and on the day that that house was approved.

Congratulations, uh Richard, on what you have created.

I left the music at 18 uh in 1968.

Uh in the and I turned over the band to Arcillo Garcia, which he later renamed to Malo.

But uh it was a success.

It was another success, so I'm very proud of it.

Thank you so much, sir.

Thank you for your comments.

Let's have the next speaker, please.

I am Tammy.

Um I'm Richard's wife.

Um I'm really proud of him for what he has accomplished and where he's gone and what he has been doing for everyone in the community and the children, and he keeps doing, and he's he's a fighter, and he always will be.

And um, I love you, honey, and I'm very proud of you.

Please vote.

Thank you.

Thank you for your comments.

Do we have anyone else who has public comment for agenda item number two from whom we have not yet heard?

I wasn't planning on speaking.

My name is Raul Castro.

I'm uh Richard Segovia's nephew.

But uh this can't be left out.

Richard Segovia is the mayor of the mission, and everyone loves him.

And uh it's only right that the mayor of the mission have his legacy and a museum and his of his lifetime.

So I think uh I think it's very important that that becomes a staple in the mission district.

Thank you.

Thank you for your comments.

Next speaker, please.

Just like him, I wasn't planning on speaking today either, but I realize as everyone else was speaking, the importance of what the last the House of Latin Rock has already done.

I've uh I was born and raised in San Francisco.

I've been a musician my whole life, and the people that I encounter still today, everyone knows Richard Segovia, everyone knows the House of Latin Rock.

And I'm still amazed that I meet people that I never had run into there at Richard's house.

But it shows you the depth of the impact he's made that everywhere I go in the Bay Area.

I always meet somebody I go, do you know Richard Segovia?

Yeah, I was just at his house last week, right?

So it's it's very important.

And the house itself is um whenever I go to his house and I stand upstairs and look out the window.

There's always somebody down there taking pictures, walking by.

And they wave, they wave to see who's who's that up in the window, right?

So there's an expectation when people go there that they're looking at people that perform, they're looking at people that might be famous, that might not be famous.

Um, and it just creates a legacy.

It creates something that people can hang their hat on, and I think that's why it's important that if you can, we approve this house as a historical landmark in San Francisco.

Thank you.

Thank you for your comments.

Next speaker, please.

Yes, my name is Francis DeLeon, native San Francisco.

And Richard Segovia, he has a lot of history back in the mission district is the Latin Rock, because I remember him back in 50 years ago.

He was playing Mahoob, Mabuya, TNT, the brass knights, and then banditos, and the rest is history.

And he specially deserved to be the Latin Rock in his home.

Thank you.

Thank you so much for your comments.

Last call for public comment.

Do we have anyone else who has public comment for this item?

Madam Chair.

Okay.

Public comment on this item is now closed.

Um I uh realized, Mr.

West, that I skipped right over your presentation.

So if you could please come up and tell us why we should be sending this forward with a positive recommendation.

I'd appreciate it.

Yes, thank you, Supervisors.

Alex West, Planning Department staff.

I'm speaking on behalf of my colleague Pilar LaValli, uh, who could not make it today.

And I'll just uh keep this brief, but landmark designation of the House of Latin Rock uh was initiated by the Board of Supervisors on March 3, 2026, uh, through adoption of resolution number 120 26, introduced by Super Advisor Fielder.

Uh so a semi-attached uh single-family residence constructed in 1936, uh 2880 25th Street has been the longtime resident of Mitch of musician Richard Segovia since the early 1960s uh through his band associations with Latin rock artists and musicians and decades of mentorship and community music programs.

The house became a creative anchor where emerging and established musicians found support, inspiration, and a place to develop their craft.

In 2017, the exterior of the Latin Rock House was completely transformed by a full building mural that wraps around both sides in bold, saturated colors, completed by youth artists from Presida I's Urban Youth Arts Program.

The artwork covers nearly every surface to create a continuous visual narrative honoring and celebrating Latin rock.

At the hearing on May 20th, 2026, the Historic Preservation Commission heard 15 public comments and strong support of the designation, including representatives from Caiuvente Quattro and SF Heritage.

The Historic Preservation Commission voted unanimously to recommend approval of the designation, finding that the House of Latin Rock meets established eligibility requirements, and that landmark status is warranted.

Specifically, the Historic Preservation Commission found that the House of Latin Rock is one of the mission districts' most significant cultural and artistic landmarks, deeply tied to the origins and evolution of Latin Rock, and that it's eligible under Criterion A for events and so and social history as a cultural asset deeply tied to the origins and evolution of Latin Rock, which is a significant and vibrant part of San Francisco's cultural heritage and criterion C architecture, and that it has high artistic value and is representative of community, the community art movement uh and expression within the mission district.

And that is all I have, but I'm available to answer any questions.

Thank you.

Thank you very much, Mr.

Westhoff.

Um, Mr.

Clerk, please add me as a co-sponsor to this item.

I don't see anyone else on the roster with uh questions or comments.

Uh so I would like to uh make a motion that we move this item with a positive recommendation as a committee report to the full board.

Motion offered by the chair that this ordinance be recommended to the Board of Supervisors as a committee report.

Vice Chair Chen.

Chen I, Member Machmood Machmoud I, Chair Melgar.

Aye.

Melgar, I, Madam Chair, there are three eyes.

That motion passes.

Congratulations, Mr.

Segovia.

Congratulations, Supervisor Fielder, also.

Okay, let's go on to item number three, please.

Agenda item number three is an ordinance amending the planning code to designate engine company 33 located at 117 Broad Street on the south side of Broad Street between Capitol and Plymouth Avenues as a landmark consistent with the standards set forth in Article 10 of the Planning Code.

It also affirms the planning department's sequeletermination and makes other findings.

Okay, maybe we're we'll give uh people a few seconds to uh file out before we go to Supervisor Chen.

Hi, Mike.

I think you want to go after him.

Okay.

Okay.

Uh Supervisor Chen, the floor is yours.

Thank you, Chair Malga.

Um, I am also very thrilled to advance the uh 117 board street site for landmarking.

District 11, it's a part of the city where there has been relatively less landmarking of the architectural and cultural resources.

Engine company number 33 has a beautiful story.

It is among the oldest standing firehouses.

It was the last horse-drawn unit in the fire department.

It is also among the best preserved at interior historic firehouse in the city.

I know that the owner is serving as proud stewards of the property and have expressed a support for this landmarking.

I want to thank planning department, in particular Alex Westhoff, for his work in preparing this landmark.

I hope that this site continue to be one of many more future sites in District 11 that can advance towards landmarking.

Thank you.

Thank you, Supervisor Chen.

Uh Mr.

Westhoff.

Good afternoon, supervisors.

Once again, Alex Westhoff, Planning Department staff.

Uh so I previously presented to this committee about the Family Zoning Landmark Program, and thus will not go into great detail about the larger effort.

Uh, but just a reminder that as part of the broader family zoning plan, the city is committed to ensuring that growth associated with ambitious housing production goals is aligned with San Francisco's long-standing dedication to preserving historic places deeply embedded in San Francisco's unique cultural identity.

Uh unlike many of the other supervisor districts, District 11 has not yet had the benefit of substantial past historic resource surveying, but a reminder that through the citywide cultural resource survey, we eventually will survey every property in San Francisco, at which point we'll we will have a better understanding of additional properties in District 11 as well as other supervisor districts that can be considered for landmarking as part of the program and future phases.

And we appreciate Supervisors Chen's support on this landmark.

We've identified this property in District 11.

Uh, the Historic Preservation Commission recommended approval of this property as an Article 10 landmark at their June 17th, 2026 hearing.

Uh specifically, Engine Company number 33 at 117 Broad Street is in the Ocean View neighborhood.

It was constructed in 1896 as a firehouse to house engine company number 33 and to protect a planned women's college, which was never built.

Shortly after its construction, however, engine company number 33 was dispatched to assist with a fire in nearby Colma, which was the first San Francisco act of mutual aid to assist a neighboring fire department.

Engine company number 33 was the last horse-drawn unit in the San Francisco Fire Department.

Not converted, not converting to motorized apparatuses until 1921.

The property remained a firehouse until 1974, at which point it was converted to a private residence.

Character defining features are shown on this slide.

And that is all I have, but I'm available to answer any questions.

Items 4 through 24 before you today are ordinances designating 21 properties in District 8 as Article 10 landmarks.

The resolutions initiating these designations were heard by this committee on February 23rd and sent to the full board with a positive recommendation.

They were then taken up by the Historic Preservation Commission, which heard them on May 20th and returned to all 23 properties with a positive recommendation as well.

They now return before you finally as ordinances for final designation.

These properties span a remarkable range of architectural styles, eras, and histories, from the Phoenix Brewery on Noe Street, a remnant of the neighborhood's 19th century commercial life, to the James C.

Hormel mansion, the former home of America's first openly gay ambassador.

Together they reflect the full depth of how District 8's neighborhoods developed as well as who shaped them.

We respectfully ask that you send these items to the full board with a positive recommendation.

Thank you, and I will now pass it off to Alex Westhoff from Planning to present the Jackson.

Good afternoon, supervisors.

Once again, Alex West, Planning Department staff.

I'm here to present 21 properties proposed for landmark designation under the Family Zoning Plan Landmark program.

So this effort is part of the SF Cultural Heritage Program.

It brings together community knowledge, cultural history, and planning tools to recognize and care for the places and traditions that matter most.

And this is a multi-phased effort as outlined on this flowchart.

Before you today are properties identified through the second phase of this program in District 8.

Through this phase, we reviewed category A properties within the RH zoning districts and have looped in new properties proposed for landmark designation through SF survey.

And as you can see, this process involves a series of public hearings by both the Historic Preservation Commission and the Board of Supervisors.

The Historic Preservation Commission recommended landmark designation of these properties at their May 20th hearing.

The Alexander Adams home is located at 1450 Masonic Avenue.

It was constructed in 1891 in the Haight Ashbury neighborhood near Buena Vista Park.
