Historic Preservation Board -Regular Meeting Minutes January 26, 2011 Paae 3 of 3 PREPARED BY: APPROVED BY: Steve Prosser, Associate Planner JoElle Hernandez, Chair OLD BUSINESS: ITEM NO. 1 CITY OF CAMPBELL • HISTORIC PRESERVATION BOARD Staff Report • February 23, 2011 Topic : Historic Resource Inventory (HRI) List Update ~ Incentives and Public Outreach INTRODUCTION The Historic Preservation Board Incentives Sub-Committee met with staff on February 9, 2011, to begin the discussion on current incentives the City has adopted as a benefit to property owners of historic resources and to create a list of potential incentives used by other jurisdictions to determine the appropriateness of Campbell adopting one or more new incentives. DISCUSSION Currently, there are three incentives available for property owners of historic resources within the City of Campbell. The incentive sub-committee found seven additional incentives currently used by other jurisdictions benefiting historic resource property owners (reference Attachment 1, Tentative Incentives List). As the Historic Preservation Board will be presenting a request to the City Council on the addition of properties to the HRI List, a discussion with the City Council on the benefits for properties listed is appropriate. RECOMMENDATION Staff is requesting that the Board review the tentative incentive list and make a recommendation to staff on whether the list should be modified. Additionally, staff is requesting Board direction on which potential incentives listed should be recommended to the City Council for further analysis and possible adoption as benefits to Campbell's historic resource property owners. Once the Historic Preservation Board has provided direction, staff will incorporate the Board's recommendation into the staff report to be prepared for the City Council upcoming HRI Study Session Attachment: 1.
