RE: |
Landmark Nomination for 1000 New York Street
|
Background
In accordance with Chapter 22, The Conservation of Historic Resources Code, the Historic Resources Commission held a public hearing for 1000 New York Street. After a consideration of the nomination material and public comment, the HRC determined that the property met criteria identified in 22-403. The HRC adopted Resolution 2014-06 recommending designation of 1000 New York Street as a Landmark on the Lawrence Register of Historic Places and directed staff to draft the necessary report to the City Commission.
Landmark Process
Chapter 22 requires the City Commission to consider the application of a landmark nomination at a public hearing. The public hearing may be during a regularly scheduled meeting. The City Commission may approve an ordinance designating a nominated structure as a landmark in accordance with the findings of the HRC.
If the City Commission denies the nomination, subsequent nomination attempts shall not occur within three years, or without a change of ownership of the property, whichever occurs first.
Action
Conduct public hearing.
Adopt on first reading, Ordinance No. 9019 for landmark designation of 1000 New York Street to the Lawrence Register of Historic Places, if appropriate.
