DISCUSSION ITEM
FROM: City Council Member Brian Spencer
SUBJECT:
title
HISTORIC BUILDING DEMOLITION REVIEW
end
SUMMARY:
Currently the Land Development Code (LDC) only affords an application and review process for the issuance of demolition permits for those areas within a historic district or other similarly designated area requiring such review. Given the steep history throughout the City of Pensacola, a desire exists to provide a review process citywide regarding the issuance of demolition permits for historic structures as defined in the LDC.
This item encourages further discussion of this matter.
PRIOR ACTION:
July 14, 2016 - City Council referred to Planning Board for their review and recommendation a Historic Building Demolition Review Ordinance.
August through November, 2016 - Planning Board discussed at regular meetings as well as workshops to provide a proposed amendment to the Land Development Code
September 15, 2016 - Ordinance No. 27-16 imposing a temporary moratorium on the issuance of demolition permits for Historic Structures passed on 2nd reading.
