DATE: April 9, 2007
TO: Historic Landmark Commission
FROM: Stephen C. Richardson, Planning Manager
SUBJECT: Consider a request to remove four properties out of the Oaks
Historic District
FILE: 1879-Z
STAFF REPORT
The Planning Manager recommends denial of this request.
Kevin Herrington, representing Altus Healthcare Management Services
(HMS), is requesting that the properties at 2671 Broadway, 2675
Broadway, 2679 Broadway and 2685 Broadway be taken out of the
Oaks Historic District.
Altus HMS is in the process of building a surgery, imaging and sleep
th
center at 390 N. 11 at Broadway. Mr. Herrington states that
Altus HMS is interested in future expansion of the center. The
primary reason for acquiring the properties is for future overflow
parking. Mr. Herrington says that all the parties have expressed
concerns as to the limitations of the Historic District and are agreeable
to the sale of their property.
In 2005, City Council approved the removal of the property at 2693
Broadway from the Oaks Historic District. That approval was largely
based on the fact that the historical significance or the contribution of
that property to the Historic District had been compromised years ago
with the building of a large metallic building attached to the rear of
the main structure.
The Planning Manager feels that removing the subject properties from
the Historic District for the use of parking and/or expansion of the
medical building will be detrimental to the District.
Exhibits are attached.
