(First Consideration) Background The proposed ordinance would result in the following minor amendments related to Historic Preservation in the Zoning Code by: Clarify Historic Preservation Exception Applicability Remove List of Local Landmarks, Historic Districts, and Conservation Districts Add Abbreviation for Conservation Overlay Zones (OCD) Clarify Historic Preservation Commission Procedures Amendments reviewed by the State's CLG Coordinator who had no concerns. Historic Preservation Commission recommended approval at their June 9 meeting. Clarify Historic Preservation Exception Applicability (14 -2A -7B, 14 -2B -8A, and 14 -2C -11A) Summary of Change The BOA may grant a special exception to waive or modify certain standards or adaptively reuse a building designated as an Iowa City landmark or registered in the National Register of Historic Places Includes requirements related to dimensions, site development, approval criteria, and certain uses Requires a Certificate of Appropriateness from HPC Clarifies that the BOA can grant special exceptions to properties in a Local Historic District Justification Provides clearer language, i.e. properties zoned OHD include Local Historic Districts and Local Historic Landmarks Consistent with staff's current interpretation of this provision Remove List of Local Landmarks, Historic Districts, and Conservation Districts (14 -3B -1D and 14 -3B -2D) Summary of Change The zoning code includes a list of Local Historic Districts and Landmarks, in addition to Local Conservation Districts The proposed amendment would remove the listing from the zoning code Justification Staff uses several methods to track historic properties: Rezoning ordinances passed by City Council (primary) Administrative lists available to the public (secondary) Separately codified lists in the Zoning Code However, the codified lists in the Zoning Code are irregularly updated and are redundant with the rezoning ordinances passed by Council Relying on ordinances and staff's list is more accurate and efficient Add Abbreviation to Conservation Overlay Zones (14-3B-2) Summary of Change The OCD abbreviation used for Conservation District Overlays zones is not in the Zoning Code The proposed amendment adds OCD into the code Justification Specifying that the OCD abbreviation is used for Conservation District Overlay zones connects the designation on the zoning map with the zone it represents Clarify Historic Preservation Commission Procedures (14-8E-1) Summary of Change Public notice must be mailed for any HPC public hearings following an application to designate a Local Historic Landmark or Local Historic or Conservation district; current mailing requirements have been a source of confusion and complaint Code requires that proposed Local Historic Districts and Landmarks, and Local Conservation Districts, must be submitted to SHPO, even if they will not review it The proposed amendment makes two changes: Public notice mailing procedures are modified to delineate exactly how the list of property owners will be generated and mailed Submittal requirements to SHPO are modified so that the only proposals required to be sent to SHPO shall be for projects on which SHPO will provide comment Justification More clearly codifies staff mailing procedures Helps streamline SHPO submittals by aligning City policy with State policy and prevents unnecessary work/dead-time Next Steps Zoning Code Amendment — Historic Preservation Commission and Planning & Zoning Commission recommendation to City Council (June 2022) Planning & Zoning Commission Staff Recommendation The Historic Preservation and the Planning & Zoning Commissions recommend that the Code be amended to address numerous code clean up items relating to Historic Preservation.
