explanation
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT STAFF REPORT
The petition changes the status from non-contributing to contributing for various buildings, and one building from contributing to non-contributing, in the Pleasant Street Historic District. The Pleasant Street Historic District was approved by the City Commission on February 18, 1991 (76ZON-90PB Ordinance #3701) and contributing and non-contributing status was applied to each building, site, structure or object. The Historic Preservation Board unanimously approved the proposed changes in status from non-contributing to contributing structures at a Special Meeting on November 8, 2005.
As defined in the cultural resources survey, contributing buildings and structures are those that have been documented with the Florida Division of Historic Resources through completion of a Florida Master Site File. Also they are at least 45 years old, and have not been severely altered, namely through radical alteration of original plan, enclosing of porches, or additions to the facade. Contributing structures include principal dwellings or buildings, garage apartments, and outbuildings. Conversely, noncontributing buildings and structures are defined as buildings with a Florida Master Site File that have been severely altered and/or buildings that are less than 45 years old.
Staff has found that the status on 4 non-contributing building sites, structures or objects have met the criteria of contributing and are reflected on the list and map (see Exhibit "A") for adoption. (One renovated building is removed from the contributing structures list.)
The Plan Board heard the petition and voted to recommend approval.
Public notice was published in the Gainesville Sun on February 28, 2006. Letters were mailed to surrounding property owners on March 1, 2006. The Plan Board held a public hearing March 16, 2006. Planning Division staff recommended that the Plan Board approve the petition. The Plan Board recommended that the City Commission approve Petition 161MSC-05 PB. Plan Board vote 6-0.
