Background Information:

On June 27, 2019, the City Council adopted a temporary ordinance establishing a 90-day waiting period for demolition of medium and high preservation priority buildings as identified in the Historic Resources Survey and buildings at least 80 years of age. The City Council directed the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) to develop a recommendation for a permanent ordinance concerning demolition of historic aged buildings for consideration by the City Council. The HPC approved a draft ordinance at their August 28, 2019 Special Meeting. The draft ordinance was presented at a public hearing at the September 10, 2019 Planning and Zoning Commission meeting. The Planning and Zoning Commission postponed their recommendation on the draft ordinance to their October 8th Regular Meeting. Ordinance 2019-19 expires on October 25, 2019, 120 days from adoption, necessitating an extension of it.
