Pineville council repeals local historic-building code article
Summary
The Pineville City Council voted to remove Chapter 8, Article 3 (historical buildings) from the city ordinance on Jan. 13 after a motion and roll-call vote; all council members recorded yes.
The Pineville City Council voted on Jan. 13 to amend the municipal code by repealing Chapter 8, Article 3, which previously governed historical buildings.
The mayor called for the motion; councilmembers moved and seconded the ordinance removal and then held a roll-call vote. The clerk recorded affirmative votes from Councilman O'Neil, Councilman Dorn, Councilwoman Frederick and Councilman Martin, and the mayor stated the motion passed.
No extended debate or public comment on the ordinance appears in the record. The measure was adopted and will be removed from the city’s code of ordinances as ordered by the council.
Why it matters: Repealing a local historic-buildings provision changes how the city treats preservation review and may affect property owners and developers. The council did not include an explanatory record of replacement procedures or interim protections in the meeting discussion.
