EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The owner of this property, Robert Bailey, is initiating this request for Fort Collins Landmark designation of the William and Violet Jackson/Robert Bailey Property at 1306 West Mountain Avenue. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading. BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION The William and Violet Jackson/Robert Bailey Property, located at 1306 West Mountain Avenue, is being nominated for Landmark recognition for its significance to Fort Collins under Landmark Preservation Standard C, for its embodiment of the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction. The house is a classic example of the Craftsman style, popular in Fort Collins during the early twentieth century. Constructed in 1922, the building’s distinctive features include varying colors of brick set in a beautiful Flemish bond, exposed roof elements, a prominent front entry, and a substantial front porch. The first of two automobile garages was constructed in 1942, and the second in 1968. FINANCIAL / ECONOMIC IMPACTS Recognition of this property as a Fort Collins Landmark enables its owners 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 should see an increase in value following 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. BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION The Landmark Preservation Commission recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading. At a public hearing held on September 10, 2014, the Landmark Preservation Commission voted unanimously to recommend designation of this property under Designation Standard (C), for its architectural significance to Fort Collins.
