Bay Area Reporter :: San Francisco historic preservation panel to lack LGBTQ members

Come its March 3 meeting San Francisco s Historic Preservation Commission will no longer have anyone from the city s LGBTQ community serving on it. The lack of representation comes as numerous queer historic issues are expected to go before the advisory panel in the coming months, from landmarking of LGBTQ historical sites to designating queer-owned legacy businesses. The mayor chooses the oversight body s seven members and the Board of Supervisors confirms the appointees. Four of the seats are currently up for appointment. While Mayor London Breed has renominated two commissioners for new terms straight allies Diane Matsuda and Chris Foley she did not reappoint the panel s two gay members, Jonathan Pearlman and Aaron Hyland, who had been serving as the commission s president.

Commission Holds Off on Vote to Extend Golden Gate Park Ferris Wheel

Commissioners ultimately unanimously voted to continue the extension proposal to the next meeting on March 3 just weeks before the wheel s planned removal. Groups like the Sierra Club San Francisco Bay chapter have opposed extending the wheel s permit, citing the detrimental effect the wheel s bright LED lights have the park s wildlife at night. Additionally, residents nearby have complained about excessive noise coming from the wheel s electrical generator. In response, the Recreation and Park Department said it s since committed to turning off the bright white lights on the wheel spokes after 10 p.m., and is actively working to find solutions to the noise problem.

Bay Area Reporter :: San Francisco historic panel supports narrow landmark status for lesbian site

An effort to landmark the San Francisco property where beloved lesbian couple Phyllis Lyon and Del Martin lived throughout most of their 54 years together has gained partial backing from the city s preservation advisory body. LGBTQ leaders and preservationists are seeking landmark status for both the couple s residence and adjoining garden plot, which was revealed this month to be where cremains of Lyon and Martin were interred and scattered. The city planning department had also recommended the entire property be designated as a city landmark. But the property owners, who claim they were unaware of the historic nature of the property when they purchased it last summer, argued that only the two-story cottage with the address of 651 Duncan Street should be landmarked. They intend to build their own residence on the garden plot, which has the address of 649 Duncan Street, and contend it doesn t warrant being included in the landmark designation.
