Please include the following items on the City Commission agenda for consideration at the April 29^th meeting:

Landmark Nomination of 805 Ohio Street and 934 West 21^st Street to the Lawrence Register of Historic Places

At their meeting on October 18, 2007, the Lawrence Historic Resources Commission (HRC) passed Resolution 2007-02 and 2007-03 recommending designation of 805 Ohio Street and 934 West 21^st Street, as a Landmarks on the Lawrence Register of Historic Places.

Project Status. Chapter 22 of the Code of the City of Lawrence requires the City Commission to consider the application of a landmark nomination at a public hearing. The public hearing may be during a regularly scheduled meeting. The City Commission may approve an ordinance designating a nominated structure as a landmark in accordance with the findings of the HRC.

If the City Commission denies the nomination, subsequent nomination attempts shall not occur within three years, or without a change of ownership of the property, whichever occurs first.

Action Request. Planning staff requests the City Commission hold a public hearing and direct staff to draft ordinances for landmark designation for 805 Ohio Street and 934 West 21^st Street, if appropriate.
