(5) On September 15, 2021, after holding a public hearing on the proposed designation and having considered the specialized analyses prepared by Planning Department staff and the Landmark Designation Fact Sheet, the Historic Preservation Commission recommended designation of Trocadero Clubhouse as a landmark consistent with the standards set forth in Section 1004 of the Planning Code, by Resolution No. 1198.

In doing so, the Board hereby incorporates by reference the findings of the Landmark Designation Fact Sheet. Section 2. Designation. Pursuant to Section 1004.3 of the Planning Code, Trocadero Clubhouse is hereby designated as a San Francisco Landmark consistent with the standards set forth in Section 1004. Appendix A to Article 10 of the Planning Code is hereby amended to include this property. Section 3. Required Data.

(b) The characteristics of the Landmark that justify its designation are described and shown in the Landmark Designation Fact Sheet and other supporting materials contained in Planning Department Record Docket No. 2021-003608DES.

Further, the building is historically significant as an early recreational facility, first as a roadhouse and then as part of Sigmund Stern Recreation Grove.
