EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This item is a quasi-judicial matter and if considered on the discussion agenda, it will be considered in accordance with the procedures described in Section 1(e) of the Council’s Rules of Meeting Procedures adopted in Resolution 2018-034. The purpose of this item is to consider the request for landmark designation of the Newman Property, 1019 West Mountain Avenue, for its early twentieth-century vernacular architecture. This is a voluntary designation at the property owner’s request. The Landmark Preservation Commission unanimously recommends approving this landmark designation. STAFF RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends adoption of the Ordinance on First Reading. BACKGROUND / DISCUSSION The Newman Property at 1019 West Mountain Avenue is significant under Standard C for its architectural significance to Fort Collins. This property is a great example of an early twentieth-century rectangular hipped- roof box vernacular residence. The property consists of a contributing residence and garage, as well as a non- contributing newer garage and shed. The residence has an uncomplicated design and deep, functional porch, both of which are indicative of the vernacular building type. The residence and garage qualify for landmark designation under Standard C as an excellent example of a vernacular, rectangular, hipped-roof box residence with a preponderance of all seven aspects of integrity. CITY FINANCIAL IMPACTS Recognition of this property as a Fort Collins Landmark enables its owners to qualify for local financial incentive programs available only to Landmark designated properties. BOARD / COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION At its February 20, 2019, regular hearing, the Landmark Preservation Commission unanimously (6-0) adopted a resolution recommending adoption of an ordinance by Council for landmark designation.
