History Colorado denies Mesa Road register request; board eyes local landmark approach
Summary
History Colorado denied the board's request to list Mesa Road on the State and National Registers; the board plans to pursue local landmarking and expects multiple potential landmark candidates along Mesa Road.
Board member Judy updated the Historic Preservation Board that History Colorado denied the application to place Mesa Road on the state and national registers. "History Colorado denied our request to put it on the state and national register to fill out the application," she said, and the board discussed pivoting to local landmark designations under a possible new code process staff will review with the Historic Neighborhood Partnership.
Bill Gray and other members described local landmark designation as an approach that can be implemented via the city's code (likely within the unified development code) to provide an efficient path for individual property recognition and access to state and federal incentives. Board members noted there are at least 20 candidate resources along Mesa Road that could be considered for local landmark designation.
