City Council Meeting Minutes May 26, 2015 Page 8 of 12 Mayor Pro Tem Dalton suggested taking away the word efficacy and build in what was really being talked about. Mayor Muckle was comfortable with staff and consultant rewriting this as a goal Council has endorsed. GOAL #4 - Foster preservation partnerships Objective 4.1 - Encourage greater collaboration between Historic Preservation Commission and other City Boards and Commissions Objective 4.2 - Maintain and enhance cooperation between Planning staff and other City departments, including Louisville Historical Museum Objective 4.3 - Expand partnerships with existing community organizations Objective 4.4 - Make better use of preservation expertise and existing professional networks in Boulder County and other nearby communities Objective 4.5 — Strengthen relationships with relevant State, Federal, and global preservation organizations COUNCIL COMMENTS Mayor Muckle supported Goal #4 and its objectives as did Mayor Pro Tem Dalton. No further questions were heard. GOAL #5 — Continue leadership in preservation incentives and enhance customer service Objective 5.1 - Promote availability of Historic Preservation Fund grants and other incentives Objective 5.2 — Evaluate benefits of Historic Preservation Fund Objective 5.3 - Raise awareness for and support state and federal tax credit projects Objective 5.4 — Consider modifications to zoning requirement incentives Council member Lipton requested clarification on Objective 5.4. Dr. Anstey explained it looks at rising property values and makes sure people are not limited on what they can do for historic properties. Council member Lipton liked the positive message he just heard but was not sure Objective 5.4 captured that. He asked this objective be re- looked at. Mayor Muckle asked if this had already been addressed with zoning changes. Planning and Building Safety Director Russ noted the word requirement might need to be struck and the objective read "consider additional zoning incentives ". Council agreed. Planning and Building Safety Director Russ addressed building incentives and Goal #3 and its objectives. 3.1 is a chance to use administrative review procedures. This goal will ensure a demolition process will go as efficiently as possible.
