2023-003440DES: COLOMBO MARKET ARCH, AT SYDNEY WALTON PARK ON FRONT STREET BETWEEN JACKSON STREET AND PACIFIC AVENUE – a portion of Assessor’s Parcel Block No. 0172, Lot No. 010 (District 3). Consideration to Recommend to the Board of Supervisors Landmark Designation of Colombo Market Arch as an individual Article 10 Landmark pursuant to Section 1004.2 of the Planning Code. Initiation of landmark designation of Colombo Market Arch was introduced by Supervisor Peskin on February 28, 2023, and adopted by the Board of Supervisors on March 7, 2023 (See BOS File No. 230232). Colombo Market Arch is the sole surviving element of the Colombo Market building, which was constructed in 1894 by architect Clinton Day, and served as the catalyst and epicenter of San Francisco’s produce district until it was demolished in the early 1960s. Colombo Market Arch is culturally and historically significant for its association with the Colombo Market, which was founded by Italian-Americans as the first wholesale market for fruit, vegetables, and related agricultural products in San Francisco, and served as an incubator for many Italian-American businesses, including A.P. Giannini of the Bank of Italy, later Bank of America, and the Del Monte Corporation. Colombo Market Arch is located within an RC-4 (Residential-Commercial High Density) Zoning District and an OS Height and Bulk District.
