Minutes - Plan cotllssion June 27, 1990 Page 4 . of the Ci ty . As property owner, the Church would be held responsiblefor proper building maintenance. However, an occupancy permit and a sign permit could not be issued unless a Conditional Use Permit had been approved by the City Council. Reverend Buckner stated his belief that he could not obtain any permits until he obtained a Conditional Use Permit for his church. Ms. Elwood explained that this was not the case, but that the City Council had made it clear the last time Reverend Buckner appeared before the Council that it would not consider any requests for extension of the Church's Conditional Use Permit. After some further discussion, Mr. Kendall moved that the Plan Commission recommend denial of Conditional Use Permit #284 for the Living Word Apostolic Church at 7740 Olive Boulevard. Ms. Ratner seconded the motion which passed by a vote of 5-0. Ms. Elwood further explained that any permits issued by the city to improve the building did not guarantee that the Plan Commission or City Council would further consider any Conditional Use Permit request. APPLICATION FOR DESIGNATION OF LOCAL HISTORIC LANDMARK - TIVOLI BUILDING. 6346-70 DELMAR BOULEVARD Chairperson Kreishman stated that the Commission was scheduled to review an application for designation of a Local Historic Landmark, the Tivoli Building at 6346-70 Delmar Boulevard, in the University City Loop Business District. The Chairperson asked if the Commission had a duty to make a recommendation on the application or pass any other resolution. Ms. Elwood stated that according to Article IX of the University City Zoning Code, the Plan Commission is required to review an application of the Historic Preservation Commission recommending designation of a local historic landmark or district and report its recommendation to the City Council. Mr. Paul Schoomer, City Council representative from the Second Ward, conveyed a request from the City Council that the Plan Commission table any action on the proposed designation until its next meeting so that the City Council could resolve several legal issues with regard to this property. Councilmember Schoomer understood that the Plan Commission had sixty (60) days within which to act on the application. Chairperson Kreishman called on Lisa Van Amburg, Chairperson of the Historic Preservation Commission to present the Commission's proposal. Ms. Van Amburg stated that the interest to designate the Tivoli as a local historic landmark began in January, 1990, in conjunction with the Commission's plans to hold a conference on current Historic Preservation issues in cooperation with the National Trust for Historic Preservation and the Missouri state Office of Historic Preservation. One of the topics of discussion during the May conference was "Demolition by Neglect," which focused on measures to prevent historically significant buildings from deteriorating. In March, the Commission voted to proceed with an application for designation of the building, and at its June 20, 1990, meeting, held a public hearing on the proposed designation.
