Historic Preservation Commission approves minutes, continues Hunt Ridge review and strikes Mission Linen item; staff outlines upcoming National Register and lab

The Las Vegas Historic Preservation Commission approved the minutes of its June 25, 2025, regular meeting, voted to continue a status report on the Hunt Ridge Theater to the commission’s Aug. 27 meeting and voted to remove a separate agenda item on the Mission Linen Building from the docket.

The actions were taken during a brief, largely procedural meeting that also included project updates from the Community Development Department and logistical information about the commission’s move to a new Civic Center meeting room.

Commissioner Costner moved to approve the minutes of the June 25, 2025, regular meeting; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote. The transcript does not record individual roll-call votes for that motion.

Commission staff said the applicant for agenda item 25-0265-HPC1 (a status report on the Hunt Ridge Theater at 1208 E. Charleston Boulevard in Ward 3) was not present and asked that the item be continued. The commission voted to continue that item to the Aug. 27 Historic Preservation Commission meeting; the motion was approved by voice vote. The motion’s mover and seconder are not identified in the record and no roll-call vote with member names was recorded in the transcript.

For agenda item 25-0266-HPC1 (a status report on the Mission Linen Building at 1001 S. First Street, Ward 3), staff requested the item be struck from the agenda; the commission approved the request by voice vote. The record does not show named individual votes for that motion.

Diane, a Community Development Department project lead, summarized ongoing projects for the commission. She said, “we have the Old Mormon Fort, the update on the National Register, and that will be put before the state board meeting on September 11.” She also reported that the Floyd Labden Park historical report required additional research after staff located more documents and that the first draft is expected for the commission’s Sept. 20, 2024, meeting (transcript says “20 fourth meeting”).

Michael Howe identified himself as representing the Department of Community Development and said the department had no other updates. Staff also notified commissioners that beginning with the August meeting the commission will meet in a Civic Center meeting room; staff provided written directions, said room access will still require security screening and noted additional city staff will be moving into the Civic Center and that alternate parking options include Symphony Park with pedestrian access via a third-floor vehicle bridge to City Center Parkway, across from the Smith Center.

A commissioner asked whether the Civic Center move included expanded accessible parking; staff said they did not have that information and would follow up by email or phone.

The meeting lasted about 12 minutes and included only procedural votes, project-status updates and scheduling details. No substantive public comment was recorded.
