EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The owner of the property, Gino Campana of Jessup Farm LLC, is initiating this request for Fort Collins Landmark designation for the Jessup Farm Property at 1908 South Timberline Road. BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION The property is eligible for designation as a Fort Collins Landmark under Designation Standards 1, 2, and 3 for its association with significant historical events and persons, and also for its architectural significance to Fort Collins. The Jessup Farm is significant under Standard 1 for its association with agricultural contexts in Fort Collins since the late nineteenth century, including the open range cattle industry, farming and ranching, and sheep raising. Additionally, the property is significant under Standard 2 for its association with prominent cattlemen James B. Arthur and Joseph Jessup, as well as members of the Johnson family, prominent farmers who first moved to the area in 1902. Furthermore, the property displays architectural significance under Standard 3 as its buildings are distinctive examples of vernacular rural architecture holding high levels of integrity. The gabled-ell farmhouse represents a well-preserved and rare housing type in Fort Collins, while various outbuildings on the farm site illustrate changing agricultural practices in northern Colorado during the twentieth century. FINANCIAL / ECONOMIC IMPACTS Recognition of the Jessup Farm Property at 1908 South Timberline Road as a Fort Collins Landmark enables its owner to qualify for federal, state and local financial incentive programs available only to designated properties. Additionally, based upon research conducted by Clarion Associates, the property would see an increase in value following its designation. Clarion Associates attributed this increase to the fact that future owners also qualify for the financial incentives; the perception that designated properties are better maintained; the appeal of owning a recognized historic landmark; and the assurance of predictability that design review offers. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading. BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION The Landmark Preservation Commission and staff recommend adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading. At a public hearing held on March 13, 2013, the Landmark Preservation Commission voted to recommend designation of this property under Designation Standards (1), (2), and (3) for its association with significant historical events and persons, and also for its architectural significance to Fort Collins.
