Proposed Civic Area historic district

Any questions or comments or desire to call this one up?

Boulder's potential, historic districts were mostly identified in the 1980s, when there was a major effort to Survey and a goal that we achieved to survey everything built before 1940.

Finding that it does not meet the criteria for such initiation pursuant to Section 9-11-3, initiation of designation of individual landmarks in historic districts

I'll move that the Landmarks Board not initiate the process for landmark designation. on 976 Arapaho, item 5A

because this area went into, a historic district application, that was then voted down by Council

The conversations around a historic district in the civic area provided amazing research on what happened in this area before it was a park.

for the Civic Area Historic District, when we stopped counting, had, like, 1,800 views on it

The property is not individually landmarked or located in a historic district

all the way through the research that was done as part of the Civic Area Historic District

I think, during the civic area historic district there was discussion that if the historic district past.

like with the City Council's denial of the historic district

whether or not central brush be landmarked. And we? We came up with a consensus, opinion and position

around the same time we were doing the civic area historic district

presenting on the intangible heritage of the Water Street neighborhood, coming out of that civic area historic district

presenting research on the Water Street neighborhood that came out of the civic area historic district, and so

will then have a debrief of the Civic Area Historic District process

item D was about uh the disapproval of the designation for the Civic area historic district

are just so committed to having that historical kind of precedent maintained.

the historic district decision from Council was, let's see, 3 weeks ago or so.

We can put up historical signage, interpret the history without making a district.

last week uh before this board we bought a Civic historic district application to you

Central Boulder Historic District, or the Civic Area Historic District

The Landmarks Board and staff recommend the name Civic Area Historic District as it reflects a commonly known name

The board voted 4 to one to recommend designation of the area to be known as the civic area historic district

why Landmark the whole of Central Park and the five already designated buildings

the most significant Amendment to the historic proposal is a request to expand the western boundary to include blacks 10 and 11

tonight is the first reading for a possible new historic district it's in your package

because their their retreat is about a week before their public hearing on the historic district

But the intent of the historic district wouldn't be to regulate that level of the street design.

will the proposed historic district designation result in any land use implications

to get your feedback on the proposed civic area historic district.

I recommend a motion the landmarks board recommends to city council that it designates the area encompassing a portion

staff recommends that the landmarks board recommend to city council that it designate the area encompassing a portion

in terms of coming up with with a name and if you look at the list of the other historic districts

there are specific design guidelines for the historic district and there are other design guidelines for that area

last year the city also received an application for designating part of the Civic area in yellow as a historic district

We're assisting with the design guidelines for the civic area historic district

And so local designation recognizes and protects areas significant to boulders history.

Then we're going to have another presentation on the proposed civic area historic district that will follow.

the Cla is a sub component of the civic or area historic district evaluation, and will be

coming up is the civic area historic district process check in

speaking on the Civic Historic District. You should be able to unmute now

And he's also going to speak about the Civic Area Historic District.

supporting the historic. District application in Central Park, but I'm speaking you tonight as an individual.

a note here on on the Civic area historic district application so we wanted to highlight along with the policies that there is a separate project running concurrently

designation should it happen and then importantly the design standards that would then be uh adopted as they would be for for any historic district

So you have a great group. I'm a very big proponent of not reinventing the wheel

it still aligns perfectly with this consideration of a historic district

They are leading the historic district application process

we have the civic historic district which is currently in the planning phase

just were there questions on the Civic area historic district uh I think just one can we get the information on the eight or nine buildings

I'm going to speak a little bit about the process that's going on with the Civic historic district application

I think that wraps up the civic area historic district update.

to for a proposed civic area historic district and out.

I'd like to provide you all with an update on the civic area historic district.

in May of this year historic Boulder Friends of the Bandshell and the Tea House bought and put an application in for a Civic historic district

they accepted the application but they did make an amendment to the normal timeline

we're gonna need 1520 min of business time to talk about collaboration with the landmarks board around the historic district

would be the landmarks board just as we go through the historic district application

I think that the landmarks Board purpose tonight is to initiate this historic district, and I think that this is

we haven't had a new designated historic district in very long, I think.

In a historic district, there are typically features or structures that contribute

historic districts are reviewed by planning board for any land use implications and then ultimately move to city council

talk a little bit about the civic area historic district application that was submitted

I don't think anybody on the Planning Board ever heard of historic district, and I wanted to make sure

suggested that the civic historic district would be a a good idea, and that the landmarks board and the city

on May thirtieth of this year the historic folder, the friends of the Bandshell and the Tea house submitted application for a civic historic district

we submitted a historic district application we don't know the name it's it's up in the air

I understand that I don't know if it's been submitted or will be submitted but a application for a civic center historic district

especially if there's going to be a historic district in the future

Historic Boulder, the friends of the Tea House and the friends of the Banshee will be submitting an application for Civic Historic District.

I am disappointed in saddened with the unbalter-like process for the proposed Civic Center historic district

we hope to have an application submitted as soon as possible in the next day or so

recommended that this be part of a future historic district and that's what historic Boulder is about to apply for

We have been working with the friends of the Tea House, and friends of the Banshell as they prepare a civic area.

about the update of the civic Area historic District exploration.

For the central historic district. I would strongly recommend that you expand the boundaries and take it to to to use the green way.

to go forward with a cultural landmate landscape assessment for the central historic district.

council ended up asking that instead of expanding the boundary, that the whole area become a historic district.

to direct planning and development services to prioritize preparation of an application to designate a larger civic area, historic district in 2,023

exploration of a civic area historic district since the city Council's meeting last June

that there is a a movement afoot to try to create a historic district around Civic Center Park

That street mall is probably the most complicated. It is part of a larger historic district.

historic preservation staff will commit to making development of the civic area, historic district to include the band, shell and all Black 13

It considers that the area would be more logically included in a civic area historic district to include the band shell.

a Civic area historic district designation and finally the East bookend Redevelopment plan

I I appreciate just knowing sort of what's happening with the historic district.

And then specific to the civic area distort district. That is where my focus has been over the last few weeks

we're not a historic district in this area as well, and we'll be back in Q. 2.

They're working through the historic district creation and timeline, so they'll be sharing that as well.

work hand in hand with planning and development services with that historic district

challenge I think associated with that Civic area historic district is is really the intimate connections

we also if you recall committed to creating a Civic area historic district

Well, we can do a historic district in its place, and that would be even better

an application or a designation for a civic area historic district as a work program priority in 2023

to direct planning and development services staff to prioritize beginning an effort to explore designating a larger civic area historic district in 2023

he just thought it should be delayed and until a civic area historic district was achieved

other city landmarks our historic districts in the city there really isn't kind of a unified aesthetic in this area to define a character for East Boulder
