Staff Recommendation

RECOMMEND that City Council APPROVE C-3 (General Commercial) zone with a H-1 (Historic) overlay.

---

The property has O-1/IH-1 zoning on the back portion of the parcel and C-3 on the front. Rezoning the entire property to C-3 with an H-1 (Historic Overlay) would allow redevelopment to take place, while preserving the historic structure.

On January 17, 2019 the Historic Zoning Commission (HZC) unanimously recommended a H-1 (Historic Overlay) be placed on this property. The HZC determined that the building meets the criteria for a H-1 Landmark Overlay zoning due to its unique mixed-use building type, its representation of pre-World War II development patterns, and its representation of the Art Moderne style, which is unique in the city. The future redevelopment of this property will be subject to the Historic Zoning Commission review.

Design guidelines are required to be adopted with the H-1 overlay zoning. The guidelines approved b the HZC are those of the Secretary of Interior's Standards of Rehabilitation, including the 1992 "Illustrated Guidelines for Rehabiliting Historic Buildings," or any future updates of these standards by the Secretary of Interior.
