On April 19, 2017, the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) will consider its recommendation to the Board of Supervisors regarding the proposed designation of 2117-2123 Market Street (historically known as New Era Hall) as a City landmark.
The HPC added 2117-2123 Market Street to its Landmark Designation Work Program on June 15, 2011, and initiated the local landmark designation process pursuant to Article 10 of the Planning Code on December 7, 2016 with Resolution No. 836. Under Article 10, initiation and recommendation are two distinct steps of the landmarking process which require separate hearings.
The HPC has scheduled the second public hearing regarding the local landmark designation on Wednesday, April 19, 2017 at 12:30 p.m. in City Hall, 1 Dr. Carlton B. Goodlett Place (formerly Polk Street), Room 400. Again, the purpose of this hearing is for the HPC to consider its recommendation to the Board of Supervisors on the proposed designation of 2117-2123 Market Street as a City landmark. The full agenda and supporting documents for this item will be posted to the HPC website no later than Thursday April 13, 2017 and can be found here: http://sf-planning.org/meetings/18.
