Title
Ordinance - Public Hearing Continuation and Third and Final Reading on an Ordinance Approving a Historic Landmark Overlay District for the Property Located at 114 N. Main Street; City Staff (ZC#16-020)
Requested Action
To consider the subject zoning change request.
Recommendation
The Historic Landmark Commission and Planning & Zoning Commission held public hearings on 10/25/16 & 11/7/16 and recommended approval.
Description/History
First Reading - November 14, 2016
Staff nominated the century old building currently occupied by the Mansfield Area Chamber of Commerce as a historic landmark. Historically known as the Big Daylight Store, the building was originally constructed in 1901. It is worthy of preservation due to the following:
- It is located near the Main Street historic block and the Historic Mansfield Tax Increment Reinvestment Zone
- It is representative of buildings of its era;
- It is associated with persons who contributed to the development of Mansfield; and
- The overall building architecture still retains some historic value despite alterations.
The Historic Landmark Overlay District will not change the underlying zoning. It will help preserve the historic character of these buildings and require the Historic Landmark Commission’s approval for any future changes to ensure they are consistent with historic preservation guidelines.
Second Reading - November 28, 2016
Lori Williams, Chamber President/CEO, is not available until the 12/12/16 meeting. To keep the case moving, can the Council pass 2nd reading contingent on your questions being addressed before final approval on 12/12/16?
