PAGE TWO <br />SUBJECT: HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION/ <br />PROPOSED HISTORIC PRESERVATION ORDINANCE <br />DATE: AUGUST 10, 2004 <br />Relating to the draft ordinance: <br />Attached is a copy of the ordinance. Staff has made some minor changes to the ordinance since we met <br />in February. There are a few questions marked in red. <br />There are policy issues that the City Council should probably discuss prior to proceeding with the <br />ordinance. Those policy issues are as follows: <br />• Inclusion of the nonconsensual Iandmarking section <br />• Are there incentives that the City can offer to encourage Iandmarking? Any of these incentives <br />would be available only to locally landmarked properties. It is assumed that this would be only a <br />handful of properties per year, if that. (Lafayette has approximately 10 landmarked properties. <br />They have not landmarked a new property in the last 2 years.) Please see attached sheet for <br />municipal comparison of incentives. <br />o Regulatory waivers could include: <br />• Zoning variances for landmarked properties <br />• Building code variances for landmarked properties <br />• Setback variances for landmarked properties <br />Financial Assistance <br />• Building Department Fee waivers for landmarked properties <br />• Refund of sales tax associated with preservation of landmarked properties <br />• Refund of use tax associated with preservation of landmarked properties <br />• Refund of property tax for landmarked properties <br />• Local loan fund for rehabilitation projects for landmarked properties <br />• District Iandmarking questions — how many property owners does it require to be a Iandmarking <br />with consent? <br />o As written, a minimum of 25% of property owners is required to apply under the "with <br />consent" section. <br />o As written, if 51% of property owners object in writing to a district designation, the <br />application is automatically denied. <br />Once the Council has agreed upon a basic ordinance, it will also be sent to the Colorado Historical <br />Society to verify that the ordinance meets Certified Local Government status. CLG status would allow <br />the access to specific grants and technical assistance. <br />At this time, the Commission and staff need direction from the Council on the Ordinance. Options <br />include: <br />• Proceeding with the ordinance as written <br />• Proceeding with a modified ordinance <br />• Other options the Council would like the Commission to consider <br />The staff and the Commission would like to see the ordinance (as written or modified) move forward in <br />the next few months. Once passed, staff will begin work on the process and particulars of administering <br />the program. The Commission hopes to have an ordinance passed within the next 3 -4 months and have <br />the Iandmarking program underway at the beginning of 2005. <br />Any other direction the Council has for the Commission would be greatly appreciated. <br />RECOMMENDATION: Discussion /Direction <br />
