body
HEARING REQUIRED: No Hearing Required
SUMMARY:
Due to the rich and deep history of the City of Pensacola, there is a desire to protect the historic nature and character of the City. Currently, the only areas afforded such protection are those so designated within the City Code as being a Historic, Overlay or Redevelopment district; this excludes a large part of the City whereby no protection of historical assets is currently in place.
This item seeks to create a Historic Preservation Commission, outlining the duties thereof and establishing certain design standards, standards for demolition of identified historic structures and sites and setting forth a process for the identification and designation of a historic structure.
This will be placed within the Land Development Code, so the first step in the process is to refer it to Planning Board for review and recommendation.
