| | | | | | | | ANALYSIS
| Under Section 118-591 of the Land Development Regulations, a request for designation of an individual historic site may be transmitted to the Historic Preservation Board (“HPB”) by resolution of the City Commission. If the attached Resolution is adopted, the Planning Department (“Department”) will prepare a Preliminary Evaluation and Recommendation for consideration by the HPB.
After considering the Department’s recommendation, a majority vote of the HPB is necessary to direct the Department to prepare a formal designation report. Once the Department has prepared the report, a quasi-judicial public hearing before the HPB shall be scheduled. The Planning Department’s analysis, and the Historic Preservation Board’s recommendation whether or not to designate a property, must be based on the objective criteria for designation set forth in Section 118-592 of the Land Development Regulations. If the HPB recommends in favor of the designation request, the proposed designation will be transmitted to the Planning Board and City Commission as an amendment to the Land Development Regulations. Ultimately, the designation of an individual historic site requires approval by a 5/7ths vote of the City Commission.
The procedure to consider the designation of a property as an individual historic site is outlined in Chapter 118, Article X, Division 4 of the Land Development Regulations, and can take approximately 6-8 months.
