Appendix A to Article 10 of the Planning Code is hereby amended to include this property. Supervisors Preston; Dorsey BOARD OF SUPERVISORS Page 3 Section 3. Required Data. (a) The description, location, and boundary of the Landmark site consists of: (1) The public right-of-way at the intersection of Turk Street and Taylor Street, bound by Assessor Block Nos. 0339, 0340, 0342 and 0343 with, in addition, the width of Taylor Street north 52 feet and the width of Turk Street west 40 feet; and (2) The exterior building walls of 101 Taylor Street, to a height of 11 feet, 52 feet north on Taylor Street and 40 feet west on Turk Street (being the walls that contained the storefronts of the former Compton's Cafeteria). (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. 2022-005199DES. In brief, the Site of the Compton's Cafeteria Riot 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 the Site of the Compton's Cafeteria Riot is proper given its association with the first large- scale collective direct action on the part of people marginalized by sexuality/gender that resulted in lasting institutional change. By acting collectively, instead of as individuals, members of the community were able to further the cause to enable a greater freedom of gender expression without oppression. Moreover, after the riot, the City's Health and Police Departments began to develop supportive programs for the transgender people in San Francisco, some of which would also enable people to gain access to State and Federal anti- poverty programs. The riot to demand dignity succeeded in starting the long process to change society.
