The September 16 CPNO Meeting was good. There was discussion on the latest Draft of the proposed Candler Park Historic District, questions and Amendments. (FINAL DRAFT AND MAP LINKED BELOW!) One amendment proposed, to strike a height regulation on other buildings (not houses) in the district passed. This was a relatively minor change, but means that the height of those buildings will be defined by underlying Zoning regs for those properties. >>> Another amendment to strike the regulation allowing up to 2 Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) per lot did not pass so it remains in the Historic District proposal. Does this mean your neighbor is going to suddenly have 2 ADUs in their back yard? Well, we don’t know your neighbor but keep in mind that:

We are nearing the end of this multiyear process to define a potential Candler Park Historic District based on neighborhood input! We've been revising the draft from feedback and public comments as well as working hard to revise and fine tune areas that are less discussed. This version, Draft 4.5 has minor edits which hopefully improve clarity in the Development Controls and Design Standards sections (pp. 7-9). This version will be presented, discussed, and possibly amended during the CPNO Meeting, tomorrow September 16! The goal is to finalize this draft at that meeting so that we all know what will be Voted on in October.

This video is unedited and the file is rather large (Meeting starts at 15:00) (video is long and a large file so it may take some patience with the internet) It's been a summer of travel it seems but finally we are almost all back in one place and ready to finalize the Candler Park Historic District proposal! We want to share the long-awaited Draft 3 with you and see what you think. In addition, City Office of Design staff will join for the Q&A.

Is your house likely Contributing or Non-Contributing to a potential Candler Park Historic District? We've created a DRAFT of potential Contributing (historic) and Non-Contributing (not historic) properties attached below. This initial determination is based on the current proposed Period of Significance (1870 to 1955) and takes into account any alterations to the building which have affected the front facade or front portion of the house. As you can see there are a number of properties about which we are "unsure" about and need final input from the City on. Although we think this is fairly accurate determination, THIS IS A DRAFT AND SUBJECT TO CHANGE! A final assessment will be made by the City after we have finalized our proposed district. Only primary buildings are assessed (and proposed for any regulation), in the case of complexes, multiple primary buildings are counted as 1 per property. Thanks to everyone for their comments and questions about the 1st draft, we tried to get back to as many of you as possible with answers to questions and take all of your comments into account. There were a lot of questions around the proposed "period of significance" and we will go into that further in a separate post. Summary provided below but you don't have to take our word for it: Missed the Draft 2 Review Meeting? Watch the Zoom recording here: Comment/Questions submission form is at the bottom of this post.
