Recommended Action
Optional Motions:
1. Motion to Approve
Approve the Historic Resources Survey Plan based on the findings it complies with PlanCOS, HistoricCOS, and the requirements and standards of the Grant Agreement with the State Historic Fund and the scope of work set forth in the City’s Consultant Services Agreement with the following conditions:
1) Final Plan is approved by History Colorado/State Historical Fund.
2) Correct reference to adopted Historic Preservation Overlay District to include properties that have been designated as an HP-O. Instead of the reference to the Old El Paso County Courthouse, original Broadmoor Hotel and Rock Ledge Ranch use City Hall, Chadbourn Spanish Gospel Mission and Russ-Amer Apartments.
3) All photos included in the Survey Plan and those provided by volunteers that assisted in the field reconnaissance of residential neighborhoods be archived on the city’s historic preservation web page to show case the city’s many resources from the late 1800s to the 1970s. These include early neighborhoods, post-World War II subdivisions, shopping centers, schools, fire stations, commercial buildings, public facilities, designed landscapes, art installations, and houses of worship.
4) The City of Colorado Springs and its Historic Preservation Board work with historic preservation advocates and other stakeholders to advance progress on a Survey Program that is similar to Discover Denver and others.
