As set out herein, the procedure for adopting an ordinance to establish or amend a historic landmark or district designation may be initiated by the city council, the planning and zoning commission, the historic preservation commission or the owner(s) of property within the area of request. Upon initiation of the procedure for designation, applications for a permit to place, construct, alter, demolish, or remove any structure on the property shall follow the procedures set forth herein for areas designated as historic districts, and shall continue thereafter unless and until the city council shall deny the proposed designation." Commissioner Holtman stated that she believes this means the HPC can make recommendation or ask the questions we were trying to ask when the issue with the Church Street duplex project was brought before the Commission. Can the HPC make a recommendation to P&Z or the City Council to look at removing the spot zoning that exists on Church Street? Commissioner Coyle stated there are approximately 10 properties on Church Street that are zoned multi -family. Commissioner Coyle stated he believes that this is something HPC can bring to P&Z. Deputy City Manager Vines said that the HPC can make a recommendation to P&Z. City staff cannot snake these recommendations. Commissioner Matthews suggested a sub -committee be formed to further study this. Commissioner Holtman, Conunission Matthews, and Commissioner Coyle will snake up the subcommittee. 8.
