Title

Request to Waive a 90-Day Demolition Delay (B)

Waiver of 90-day demolition delay for a structure located at 819 West University Avenue. 

Explanation

Planning staff has placed a 90-day demolition delay on the structures located outside of the historic districts at 819 West University Avenue.  The delay was imposed because the structures are located within a historic neighborhood as identified by the ERLA Survey, the University Related Residential Thematic Area.  The property is zoned UMU-2.  One of the buildings is a one-story commercial building that was built in 1927 according to the Alachua County Property Appraisers Office.  Another building on the site is a two story duplex that was built in 1938 according to the property appraiser.  The 90-day delay period ends on May 10, 2017.  The petitioners plan to attend the March 7, 2017 HPB meeting to ask for a waiver of the remaining number of days on the 90-day delay.

Recommendation

Staff recommends that the Historic Preservation Board support the waiver of the 90-day demolition delay.
