The San Francisco Planning Department and District 1 Supervisor Connie Chan are hosting a forum at the Richmond/Milton Marks Library at 5 pm on Wednesday, September 24th. They are proposing to designate 10 Richmond District properties as "Article 10 Historic Landmarks, a designation which makes them harder to turn into new housing by adding environmental review and additional procedural steps.

While this makes sense for some of the proposed addresses (such as Star of the Sea at 4410 Geary), some of them seem like they are not meaningfully historical and should not have barriers to housing put up (an AT&T building at 389 9th Ave, an OfficeMax at 3700 Geary).

We don't have a lot of information (or even a link to an event page from the Planning Department), but if folks want to show up, learn what's going on, and help make sure that these designations don't slow down housing in our neighborhood, please RSVP!

The addresses that they are proposing to designate are:

2400 Fulton Street • 6210-6222 Geary Boulevard • 301 Clement Street • 499 41st Avenue • 389 9th Avenue • 4121 Geary Boulevard • 4410 Geary Boulevard • 490 6th Avenue • 300 Funston Avenue • 3700 Geary Boulevard
