Required Data. (a) The description, location, and boundary of the Landmark site consists of the City building located at 2868 Mission Street ("Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts"), on Assessor's Block No. 6516, Lot No. 007, in San Francisco's Mission District. (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 Case No. 2020-009614DES. In brief, 2868 Mission Street is eligible for local designation as it is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of San Francisco history. Specifically, designation of 2868 1 O Mission Street is proper given its association with Latinx history and culture in San Francisco, as the foremost art and cultural center for the Latinx community in San Francisco. The Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts is significant for its association with the social and ethnic history of the Mission District as a predominately Latinx enclave, along with the development of Latinx arts in San Francisco in association with California's Latinx cultural center movement of the 1970s. (c) The particular features that shall be preserved, or replaced in-kind as determined necessary, are those generally shown in photographs and described in the Landmark Designation Fact Sheet, which can be found in Planning Department Record Case No. 2020- 009614DES, and which are incorporated in this designation by reference as though fully set forth.
