Summary

The commission unanimously approved the consent agenda, agreed to postpone two applicant‑requested items to May 6, recommended historic zoning for the Hill Thompson House and re‑elected its chair and vice chair by acclamation.

At its April 1 meeting the Historic Landmark Commission approved the consent agenda (items listed in staff backup) by a unanimous voice/hand vote after a motion by Commissioner Cook and second by Commissioner Grogan.

The commission also approved applicant‑requested postponements for items 9 and 10 to the May 6 meeting (motion by Commissioner Cook, second by Commissioner Acton) and later recommended historic zoning for the Hill Thompson House at 1906 Maple Avenue on grounds of historic association, community value and architecture (motion by Commissioner Alvarez, second by Commissioner Pleasant Wright); that motion passed unanimously and will be forwarded to Planning Commission and City Council.

For leadership, Vice Chair Evans was nominated and continued by acclamation; the commission re‑nominated and unanimously re‑elected Chair Heimseck for another one‑year term.
