CITY OF CAMPBELL • HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD
Staff Report • December 15, 2010
Topic : Historic Resource Inventory List
INTRODUCTION
The Historic Preservation Board as part of their continued efforts in modernizing the
Historic Resource Inventory (HRI) List has discovered that the current inventory
includes properties that have been demolished due to approved development activities
and need to be formally removed from the list. Additionally, the Board has prepared a
list of potential properties that may qualify for formal addition to the City's HRI List.
DISCUSSION
In order to address the discrepancies in the City's current HRI List and provide an
opportunity to present possible additions to the formal list in front of the City Council,
staff has prepared a draft timeline for the Board's review.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff is requesting the Board evaluate the attached draft schedule for HRI update and
provide comment on the feasibility of the timeline.
Additionally, staff is recommending that the Historic Preservation Board appoint an ad
hoc committee that will meet with City staff periodically to discuss the ongoing HRI
update in order to better evaluate the effectiveness of the established process.
NEXT STEPS
Upon approval of the draft HRI update schedule and formation of an ad hoc committee,
staff and the committee will begin work on preparing a list of possible incentives to
encourage property owner participation in the historic resource designation process.
Once the incentive list is prepared and reviewed by the Historic Preservation Board, the
incentive list would be included in the information provided to the City Council at the
proposed Study Session tentatively scheduled for April 2011.
