HLC#20-007: Public hearing and consideration of an inventory of Historic Properties deemed deserving of official recognition although not designated as historic landmarks
Description/History
Section 5400 of the Zoning Ordinance requires the Historic Preservation Officer to submit a list of structures and other features deemed deserving of official recognition, although not designated as historic landmarks, to the Historic Landmark Commission for public hearing and approval, and take appropriate measures of recognition. The Commission must hold a public hearing before official recognition takes effect.
On October8, 2020, the Commission nominated the following properties for official recognition under Section 5400.J.4 of the Mansfield Zoning Ordinance:
• 105 N. 1st Avenue
• 106 N. 1st Avenue
• 107 N. 1st Avenue
• 108 N. 1st Avenue
• 302 S. 1st Avenue
• 107 N. 2nd Avenue
• 109 N. 2nd Avenue
• 400 S. 2nd Avenue
• 130 N. Main Street
• 203 S. Main Street
• 210 S. Main Street
• 506 E. Broad Street
• 408 North Street
• 1885 Railroad Bridge
• 1922 Auto Bridge
Staff sent notices to the owners of the properties listed above regarding participation in the recognition program in October 2020. We have been contacted by some of the property owners regarding the program, but as of this meeting, none have declined the nomination.
In addition to the public hearing, Section 5400 requires that appropriate measures be taken to recognize these properties. This has previously been done through a Historic Mansfield Recognition ceremony.
Staff requests that the Commission consider a date and location for the ceremony. Once these are decided, Staff will send invitations to the property owners with the selected meeting date and other pertinent details
