299 DOLORES STREET. Holy Family Day Home. Northeast corner of !6th and Dolores Streets. Assessor's Block 3556, Lot 25. CERTIFICATION OF FINAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT (FEIR). The project is demolition of a three-story building with frontage on both Dolores and 16th Streets, and construction of a two-story, building on the same part of the site. The building to be demolished was designed by Willis Polk and Company, and was determined to appear eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP). The building was used for child care from about 1912, until the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. A building constructed in 1984 would remain and continue to provide classrooms and other facilities for child care, and two, one-story, 960-sq.-ft. temporary buildings would be removed after project construction. The new building would continue the child care use, adding about 50 children to the approximately 100 existing children, for a total of 150 children. There would be a net reduction of about 2,830 sq. ft. at the site. The site served 150 children prior to 1989, and now serves 100 children. The new building would enable the site to serve 150 children, with approval of an amendment to the existing Conditional Use authorization.
