Summary

Staff said the historic preservation plan will begin formal hearings on May 28, progress through Planning & Zoning on June 1 and reach city council July 13; staff also reported about 70 authorizations in the past 24 days and $15,000 in revenue from a $50 authorization fee collected in the first four months of the year.

Planning staff briefed the committee on two standing reporting items: the city's draft historic preservation plan and recent development-authorizations.

Staff said the preservation plan, prepared with consultant MIG and the Wildwood Historical Society, will first be heard by the Historic Preservation Commission on May 28, then evaluated by the Planning & Zoning Commission on June 1 and presented to city council on July 13, with final completion expected in early August to preserve grant reimbursement eligibility from the State Historic Preservation Office.

Separately, staff reported that in the prior 24 days they had issued 70 authorizations ranging from small fence permits to new homes, and that a $50 authorization fee implemented about a year ago produced over $15,000 in the first four months of the year to support authorization processing.
