BACKGROUND:
Development over the last 6 years brought this area along West Hutchison Street, south of Moore Street, to the Historic Preservation Commission’s (HPC) attention as this area is bounded by two of the seven local historic districts, the Lindsey-Rogers and Hopkins Street Historic Districts.
On June 2, 2016, the HPC directed Planning Staff to prepare a report regarding a proposed expansion of the Lindsey-Rogers Historic District and the Hopkins Street Historic District.
On February 2, 2017, the report was presented to HPC. The HPC set the Lindsey-Rogers District expansion boundaries to include the properties north of Hutchison Street, west of Moore Street and south of Burleson Street and set the Hopkins Street District expansion boundaries to include the properties south of Hutchison Street, east of Scott Street, and west of Moore Street, excluding the property at 201 Moore Street. Thirty-five (35) parcels are located within the proposed boundary for expansion.
The report is attached.
