<br /> <br />Staff provided a brief explanation. The proposed text amendment is to add the Clifford Row <br />Historic District to the University City Zoning Code. The proposed Historic District includes <br />five houses on Kingsbury Boulevard. The Historic District was given a recommendation of <br />approval by the University City Historic Preservation Commission on February 18, 2010. <br /> <br />The applicant, Mr. Richard Chase, 6669 Kingsbury Boulevard, University City, Missouri 63130, <br />presented the application for the Clifford Row Historic District. The purpose of creating the <br />Historic District was to preserve the historic nature of the houses. Four of the five homeowners <br />are in favor, one is neutral. The creation of the Historic District provides an extra mechanism for <br />review by the Historic Preservation Commission of any demolitions or renovations. <br /> <br />The houses were all built in 1911. The five single-family homes are surrounded by multi-family <br />buildings. There were never any plans to construct more single-family homes in the area other <br />than the five in the proposed Historic District. The district standards and regulations address <br />exterior alterations and do not regulate any interior alterations. <br /> <br />Department of Community Development staff recommends approval of the proposed text <br />amendment, adding Clifford Row Historic District to Article 6 of the University City Zoning <br />Code. <br /> <br />Ms. Greening motioned that the text amendment be approved. The motion was seconded by Ms. <br />Lewis and passed by a voice vote. <br /> <br />Other Business <br /> <br />A new Plan Commission member will be appointed at the February 22, 2010 City Council <br />meeting.
