The Honorable Mayor and City Council
Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager
Expansion of the Urban Revitalization Program
On February 19, 2001, the City Council approved the expansion of the Urban
Revitalization Program to include all historic districts. A map of the historic districts
and the existing Urban Revitalization areas is enclosed for your information.
After meeting with City staff and the Chairperson of the Historic Preservation
Commission to discuss implementation of this initiative, I have learned that each of the
existing Urban Revitalization areas has one or more unique provisions. These
differences appear to be related to the types of buildings and mix of uses within the
individual areas.
Before beginning this effort, I believe that the Historic Preservation Commission should
review the differing provisions for the existing Urban Revitalization areas. The
Commission then can make a recommendation to the City Council on whether to use
a common set of provisions for all Urban Revitalization areas, or to have unique
provisions for individual areas.
I recommend that the City Council refer this question to the Historic Preservation
Commission for their review and recommendation.
Sincerely,
Michael C. Van Milligen
