RE: Proposed Revisions to Historic= Preservation Regulations
CPublic Hearing)
DATE: February 27, 1987
At the February 17. 1937 meeting PAZ reviewed proposed revisions
to 'section 24-9 and directed the Planning Office to make a few
more c=hanges to the document. We have prepared a new draft
incorporating those changes Cusing the "Read Carefully" stamp to
show changes). We have placed the entire document in the form of
a resolution, to facilitate your taking action at this time.
City Council discussed historic preservation at their continued
meeting on Tuesday, February 26th. At that time Nick DeWolf
voiced his opinion that demolition review should be conducted by
the Planning and Zoning Commission, based on an HFC recommenda—
tion with respect to the historic_ preservation issues. We
believe there is some merit to this idea because land use related
issues are involved in a demolition decision, including impacts
on the neighborhood and economic and real egfactors• PAZ
deals more dir_e.c`t'ty"—end-7r—�—gul a r t— hese issues than does
HPC; while HFC is better suited to review historic significants,
structural stability and rehabilitation potential. The down—
side of this arrangement is that demolition review is likely to
take more time particularly if the procedures for appeal to City
Council C=:ection 24-9.7) are invoked. In such an instance, HFC,
PIZ and Council might each review a demolition request C3 steps).
If you agree that F&Z should be involved in demolition review
then we will draft the appropriate language in Section 24-9 prior
to the Chairman signing the Resolution.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: "Move to approve Resolution No. 87 ---
recommending the City Council to repeal and re—enact Section 24-9
of the Municipal Code, Historic= Designation.
