What adopting a Monmouth Street overlay would involve: votes, map amendment and public hearings
Summary
Staff explained the step-by-step adoption path for a Monmouth Street overlay: Historic Preservation Commission review and votes on guidelines and significance, Planning & Zoning map amendment review, then two readings by the Board of Commissioners, with additional public notices and opportunities for comment.
At the meeting Jennifer Williams said the city will not move straight to a final ordinance. Instead, the process begins with the historic preservation commission reviewing and voting on two items: the design-review guidelines that would apply to the district and whether the Monmouth corridor meets the city ordinance’s criteria for historic designation.
“If you want me to get you a printed copy, I'm happy to do that as well,” Williams told attendees, noting a draft is already posted online. She said approvals at the commission would be followed by Planning & Zoning review as a map amendment and then two readings before the Board of Commissioners. Williams emphasized several additional public-notice mailings and opportunities for comment will be provided before final action.
Staff also described the role of the urban design review board for substantial new construction within the corridor and explained that demolition, relocations and complicated projects may require full commission review.
