City publishes draft historic context and Page & Turnbull advances survey work
Summary
Staff reported Page & Turnbull completed intensive reconnaissance and is preparing DPR forms; the draft City of Salinas historic context statement has been posted as a public draft for comment with links on the city's historic resources page.
Grant Leonard, the city planning manager, told the board that Page & Turnbull completed an intensive reconnaissance survey in December and is now drafting Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) forms for addresses identified as potentially historic. "They completed their intensive reconnaissance survey in December," Leonard said, and staff have completed a review of the draft historic context statement.
Staff said the draft context statement and the survey update are available as public drafts on the City of Salinas historic resources webpage and that the city will promote the links to solicit public comment. Leonard said the plan is to incorporate significant public comments, finalize the context statement, and bring the final survey forward for adoption.
Board members noted the reconnaissance expanded the candidate inventory from roughly 104 properties to about 500 and that Page & Turnbull identified up to 10 proposed historic districts (previously three had been proposed). Board members asked whether the city or citizens would initiate district establishment; staff said Page & Turnbull’s role ends with the evaluation and recommendation — district creation would be pursued by citizens or the city council under the city’s historic resource board ordinance.
If significant public comments are received, staff said they will revise the draft before finalizing the survey and bringing it back to the board for recommendation and to council for potential adoption.
