The final draft of the Historic Contexts was presented to the HPC on <br />November 19, 2018. <br />NEXT STEPS: <br />Both the Preservation Master Plan and the Historic Contexts identify the need for the <br />City to conduct an architectural survey. The following action item was listed as a near - <br />term action item in the Master Plan: <br />Conduct Architectural Surveys <br />Architectural surveys collect essential information about buildings, including <br />locational data, architectural style, construction history, historical background, <br />current photographs, and an assessment of eligibility for designation. Relying <br />upon completed historic contexts to make informed choices, the City should <br />prioritize surveying its most significant and physically intact places. Surveys <br />should be phased, with each project recording approximately 50 properties. <br />Recommended surveys: Louisville Historic Residential Subdivisions and <br />Louisville's Commercial and Government Buildings. <br />Funding to begin the survey project is included in the 2019 budget. Staff will be issuing <br />an RFP for services to conduct the survey later this year. <br />ATTACHMENT(S): <br />1.
