Commission favors simplified historic‑features map with National Register boundary overlay
Summary
As part of the comprehensive plan update commissioners selected a simpler property‑level historic‑features map and directed staff to overlay the National Register boundary on that map for public hearing materials.
Commissioners reviewed several mapping options for the comprehensive plan’s historic resources element, including a time‑period shaded map and a simplified 'hotbox' map showing specific contributing and non‑contributing properties.
Several commissioners favored the cleaner property‑level historic‑features map because it clearly identifies individual historic structures. Staff and the director recommended overlaying the National Register boundary onto that selected base map so the public can see which inventoried properties fall within the registered district. Kendall (staff) was tasked with transposing the National Register boundary onto the chosen base map to include in the public‑hearing packet.
The commission approved advancing the selected map option to public hearing so residents can review the change and provide feedback.
