ORDER OF THE CITY COMMISSION - APPEAL OF HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD DENIAL OF PETITION HP-15-02 (B)
recommendation
The City Commission ratify the written order.
explanation
Petition HP-15-02, filed by Causseaux, Hewett, & Walpole, Inc., agent for RBL Parcel D, LLC, sought a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) to demolish a vacant, existing single-family dwelling that is located at 1227 NW 4th Avenue and is a contributing structure in the University Heights Historic District North. On February 3, 2015, the Historic Preservation Board held a quasi-judicial hearing and voted to deny the petition. Pursuant to Section 30-112(d)(7) of the Land Development Code, the City Commission on appeal held a de novo quasi-judicial hearing on April 2, 2015, and reversed the Historic Preservation Board's decision by voting to approve the COA for demolition with one condition. Section 30-112 of the Land Development Code requires the City Commission's order to be reduced to writing. Therefore, the members of the City Commission that were present and voted at the hearing on April 2, 2015, should vote to ratify the written order as an accurate reflection of the City Commission's decision.
