During the HPC meeting on December 12 it was stated that any home inside of a history district would not have to follow the rules, unless they applied for their individual house to be included, however the language today does not reflect that it states...
Any ordinance designating a historic district shall set forth the historic district design regulations that apply to the historic district. These regulations would then become the Historic District Design Regulations for that historic district. Modifications to any structure within the designated historic district shall follow the COA procedures in Sec.111.1.8 below.
My understanding from the meeting December 12 is that this is a mistake and it is NOT the intention of the HPC to apply restrictions to every home, only those that apply. Can this be corrected to reflect the intentions of the HPC
Please see all questions provided to the HPC on Dec 12 and Dec 13.
regarding Document A ... 111-1.7 reads:
The process may be initiated by a property owner within the proposed district, by the HPC, or by the City Manager. For applications initiated by property owners in a residential historic district, a petition signed by at least 60% of the property owners within the proposed historic district must accompany an application. For applications initiated by property owners in a multi-family or commercial historic district, a petition signed by all the property owners within the proposed historic district must accompany an application.
This currently reads that ONLY applications submitted by property owners will require 60% of property owners to sign. If this is initiated by the HPC or City Manager that is NOT required. My understanding from the meeting with the HPC on 12/12 is that this is a mistake and it is the intention of the HPC is to ensure the 60% property owner approval applies as well to HPC or City Manager initiated applications as well.
