Planning manager Heather Farris briefed commissioners on the scavenger hunt, noting staff advertised and that the commission did not receive public nominations for the awards cycle. A commissioner reported the 2024 scavenger hunt produced about 21 completed submissions. Commissioners volunteered to help develop questions, gather photos and set a theme; possibilities discussed included sidewalk patterns, front door entries, carriage steps and other streetscape features. Commissioners asked staff to provide target deadlines and staff agreed to circulate dates for content submission and an early warning date to the commission.

On future projects, commissioners identified several priorities: reconsidering the Westside Historic District boundary and exploring an East Side or post‑World War II district; updating and correcting property survey records and construction dates; and evaluating whether existing state law (referenced in the meeting as “NRS 3 83”) and municipal code adequately deter looting or unauthorized excavation of archaeological materials, with staff asked to review and report back.

Commissioners and staff noted funding constraints for larger survey work and grant match requirements. They discussed lower‑cost options such as targeted updates to assessor‑listed dates and in‑house training (for example, webinars or short trainings about replacement materials and window preservation) that would build commission capacity without large grant funding. Staff suggested working with Parks & Recreation and the Board of Supervisors on protections for city‑owned properties where archaeological resources are a concern.

Staff announced the commission’s next meeting is scheduled for May 7 at 4 p.m.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Carson City - Historic Resources Commission - Mar 05, 2025","oneSentenceSummary","Commissioners agreed to run a 2025 historic resources scavenger hunt in May, solicit volunteer help for questions and photos, and discussed longer‑term projects including updating historic surveys, possible district boundary reviews, and checking state statute language on archaeological protections.","taxTitle","Carson City, Ormsby County, Nevada","taxId",4609,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6647076,"Historic Resources Commission names local preservation award recipients, honors long‑term stewards",644,1872000,2516000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2524983-12b18ee40b1fa3298bfd3b146923c3c9&start=1872&end=2516","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2524983-12b18ee40b1fa3298bfd3b146923c3c9/thumbnail_1872000.jpg","/articles/6647076/Carson-City/Ormsby-County/Nevada/Historic-Resources-Commission-names-local-preservation-award-recipients-honors-longterm-stewards","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6647076-93c7c9c16c450084c8ae02c5433d9c17/orig.mp4?Expires=1771146761&Signature=N5L4uKm~pUJ2K2OHdeYU-o19LLos-DGs1LFgUZYXh~EIkLo~XceLFGSRVSAyimHf5GDW-e1EzlK8qVG~lVBY6yRjw4Q8OQ91L54f12bCQ1pgXitYxyWDuZj4NnoOfaVEhvCoWNi2~8a3zsJbisZuiTzfqqx567xJKrZgVbYU0SbXVPtoTp70oY-uBQMeW~8pgVLZXEqGwuLnm5ecNk2cbgKZBQWEPalljlM1g7LG4PNvV7ZPfh7WgBMp~x9c3vHgC4AmqPGGkRH~kSqCr2eL2S0IUyQ-zR--TPlQ4T0BHF3WYbvlAyPCvJgsueY2CRPwVCarMukQChZn8K3RpK74eg__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Carson City Historic Resources Commission voted on March 5 to present 2025 Historic Preservation Awards to community members for long‑term stewardship and preservation projects, identifying Bobby Benson (402 S. Division) and a longtime local preservation advocate referred to as Jed as recipients for this year.

Planning staff reported they did not receive nominations from the public this cycle but had discussed several candidate properties at recent meetings, including properties at 512 N. Curry, 506 Elizabeth St. and efforts by the RCI team. Staff said RCI’s work likely will not be complete before the awards deadline and can be considered next year.

Commissioners emphasized awarding long‑term maintenance and stewardship. One commissioner argued the Benson property is an example of sustained upkeep over decades; another noted the commission has previously given multiple awards in a year and can do so again. The motion to honor Bobby Benson and Jed passed, with one abstention recorded.

Staff said the awards are presented in conjunction with National Historic Preservation Month and suggested coordinating awards timing and public programming. The commission asked staff to retain a list of potential nominees for future consideration and to return to RCI when the project is complete.","The Carson City Historic Resources Commission voted to present 2025 Historic Preservation Awards to property stewards including Bobby Benson and a long‑time board member named Jed, recognizing long‑term maintenance and preservation efforts.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6647081,"Carson City commission approves removal of steeple cross at Brewery Arts Center, conditioned on SHPO approval and storage",1219,502000,1721000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=2524983-12b18ee40b1fa3298bfd3b146923c3c9&start=502&end=1721","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/2524983-12b18ee40b1fa3298bfd3b146923c3c9/thumbnail_502000.jpg","/articles/6647081/Carson-City/Ormsby-County/Nevada/Carson-City-commission-approves-removal-of-steeple-cross-at-Brewery-Arts-Center-conditioned-on-SHPO-approval-and-storage","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6647081-d52f5da83bd7e67bc714aea7d06b1357/orig.mp4?Expires=1771146761&Signature=U3C4pF5rYm6SgklCmtkgf4FSz3tSc-dxqnXEG9ae859xI0Z~ctSk2eJBlCCFe4SIFFp70WNRNzAd0o6~IhonPl7izFcO1qI6h9IkBv9C-1zEVkkQDwmjDziifaqE~8kwXLUhjiMpqtnyMxxCkBI2eurYukuDSvsLjbSMgg~I3Rz3daSiottmeeW9M58Ppqa3gV6K7bNylU48PR0s5A0Y0uY6K-PKVcGqqTMnJBvxxi9USM9Ioob0XW1dCxz03MmTnbr7omyXrGqcpw5RrlZRYuHPeMp~dwFlMl26h2x0e2ISONJgsW17djammgb6VI18Ju-2-9dcvEonRirlSothbw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Carson City Historic Resources Commission on March 5 approved the Brewery Arts Center’s request to remove the cross atop the steeple of the former Saint Teresa of Avila Church, now the Brewery Arts Performance Hall at 511 W. King St., conditioned on State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) approval and an appropriate storage plan for the cross.

Planning manager Heather Farris told the commission the building was constructed around 1870 in a Gothic Revival style and has been “significantly altered over time,” but that “the design of the steeple has remained intact.” Farris said the cross currently on the steeple is not the original historic cross and that staff does not consider the existing cross to be exterior trim governed by the design guidelines; staff therefore recommended approval of the removal as part of routine maintenance to restore steeple louvers.

Spike McGuire, representing the Brewery Arts Center, said the plan is to cap the steeple with a metal cap “that’s a similar material to the metal sheeting that is on the steeple currently,” and confirmed there is interior space in the louvered area where the cross could be stored temporarily.

Commissioners offered differing views on the cross’s significance. Commissioner Block said the cross is “a character defining element of this historic building” and that he “personally will not support removal.” Another commissioner disputed that the current cross is historic, saying it appears to be a modern replacement and lacks historic fabric. Several commissioners and staff noted the commission’s prior practice of allowing removal of reversible features if they are preserved in storage so they can be reinstalled later.

The commission voted to approve the application “subject to the conditions of approval listed in the staff report and based on the finding that the request is consistent with the design guidelines for historic district and the Secretary of Interior Standards,” and amended the motion to require that the cross be stored appropriately when removed and that SHPO approve the removal given the property’s historic covenants. The motion carried.

The staff report notes the building is not included in the Westside Historic District nomination and that the bell previously housed in the steeple was returned to the church in February 2001. Farris said paperwork requesting SHPO review had been submitted and was under review after a delay caused by an email-filtering issue.

The commission advised coordination between Brewery Arts Center construction staff and Historic Resources Commission members to minimize damage when removing the cross and performing louver maintenance. The commission also discussed options for storing the cross, including inside the steeple louvers or returning it to Saint Teresa’s Catholic Church.

No public commenters spoke on the item during the meeting. The commission’s approval was conditioned on the items and findings listed in the staff report, the cross’s appropriate storage, and the approval of SHPO.","The Carson City Historic Resources Commission approved a request by the Brewery Arts Center to remove a non‑historic cross from the steeple of the former Saint Teresa of Avila church, subject to State Historic Preservation Office review and a requirement that the cross be stored for possible future reinstallation.","actionData","errors"]
