WORK SESSION
June 26, 2012
After the Urban Renewal Authority Work Session
1. Call Meeting to Order.
2. Proposed Historic Preservation Demolition/Alteration Review Process Improvements:
Phase I and II. (staff: Laurie Kadrich, Karen McWilliams; 1 hour discussion)
At Council’s direction, the Community Development Neighborhood Services
Department (CDNS) is undertaking a two-phase project to consider changes to the City’s
Demolition/Alteration Review Process (Section 14-72 of the City Code), which
determines the historic eligibility of properties in the City and defines the process for
reviewing alterations or demolition. Phase l, to be discussed at this Council work
session, proposes changes to Chapter 14 to addresses Council’s immediate concerns with
the review process: (1) to ensure timely public notice to citizens (usually neighbors) early
in the process about determinations of eligibility and major alteration requests for historic
structures; and (2) to provide a method for appealing historic eligibility status.
If the Phase I proposed changes are implemented, other parts of Chapter 14 of the City
Code will need to be modified in order to ensure an efficient public notice, eligibility,
demolition and appeal process. Those housekeeping changes are included in this
proposal. An additional modification is recommended for Chapter 2 of the City Code in
order to ensure compliance of Landmark Preservation Board member appointments with
Certified Local Government Standards.
Phase II of the project, to be completed later this year, will involve a more
comprehensive review of the Demolition/Alteration Review Process.
3. Other Business.
4. Adjournment.
