Littleton HPC adopts citywide survey plan, staff to seek CLG grants
Summary
The Littleton Historical Preservation Commission voted 6-0 to adopt a citywide survey plan and reconnaissance report and authorized staff to pursue Certified Local Government grant funding to begin GIS work and intensive surveys, including a multifamily context study.
The Littleton Historical Preservation Commission voted unanimously to adopt “HPC Resolution 01-2026,” approving a citywide historic resources survey plan and reconnaissance survey report and directing staff to pursue grant funding to start implementation.
Staff member Sarah summarized the four-phase plan, saying the project will begin with a centralized GIS-linked database of past and future surveys, followed by an intensive multifamily housing survey and context study, a targeted survey of post-World War II and later 20th-century development, and an ongoing update cycle to keep records current. "The recommendation from staff is to, approve the resolution and adopt the survey plan," Sarah said.
The plan does not include full intensive surveys for every property; reconnaissance-level work identified properties likely eligible for the National Register, which staff proposed to prioritize for follow-up. Sarah told commissioners the department will apply for two Certified Local Government grants: one to support the GIS/database work and another to fund the context study and initial intensive surveys for properties flagged as potentially significant.
Commission discussion was brief; one commissioner asked where the adopted plan would be posted for public access and staff said it would appear on the city website with other historic context studies and resources. An unidentified commissioner moved to adopt the resolution and the commission recorded a vote of six in favor; the motion carried.
Staff said if the grants are received the GIS work could begin within months with field-survey work and context studies following. The intensive surveys and context studies are expected to take longer; staff estimated the GIS component would take about four to six months and the intensive survey/context work about a year.
The commission closed the item with direction for staff to pursue grant funding and to post the adopted plan online. The commission did not take further formal action on individual designations at the meeting.
