NEW DAYTONA BEACH HISTORIC PRESERVATION ORDINANCE

1
NEW DAYTONA BEACH HISTORIC PRESERVATION ORDINANCE

• CHANGES AND HIGHLIGHTS

2
HISTORIC PRESERVATION

• The new ordinance replaces the one from 1986,
  and will offer greater protection for Daytona
  Beachs historic properties and structures in
  several ways, including

3
PROTECTING HISTORIC DISTRICTS

• Currently, only the South Beach Street Historic
  District is under the jurisdiction of the
  Historic Preservation Board. The new ordinance
  calls for all six historic districts now on the
  national registry to be automatically nominated
  by the Historic Preservation Board for the local
  register.

4
HPB TO REVIEW CONCEPT PLANS

• Concept plans for proposed development in
  historic districts to be reviewed by the Historic
  Preservation Board when the proposed development
  covers more than 20,000 square feet.

5
CERTIFICATES OF APPROPRIATENESS

• Increases the time interval that the Historic
  Preservation Board has to review requests for
  certificates of appropriateness from 45 to 60
  days.

6
APPLICATIONS FOR LOCAL REGISTER OVERLAY
CLASSIFICATION

• The Historic Preservation Board must review
  applications for local register overlay
  classification within 60 days. The current
  ordinance requires that the Board review
  applications within 90 days.

7
DISASTER PREPAREDNESS

• The Historic Preservation Board must provide to
  FEMA and any other disaster management
  organization all appropriate documentation,
  including the ordinance, the local registry, and
  surveys maps of historic districts and
  properties, in the event that the city needs
  outside assistance because of a disaster.

8
CERTIFIED LOCAL GOVERNMENT

• The new ordinance is in compliance with the
  requirements of the Certified Local Government
  Program. Therefore, when Daytona Beach becomes a
  CLG, it will be eligible to apply for grants and
  receive technical assistance that will greatly
  facilitate historic preservation.

9
A STRONGER ORDINANCE, BUT..

• A robust historic preservation ordinance is
  useless unless it is enforced. Enforcement
  begins with a strong Historic Preservation Board.
• Some of the proposed appointments to the HPB
  demonstrates the city managers commitment to
  development at the expense of historic
  preservation.
• On Wednesday the City Commission will vote to
  fill three vacancies on the HPB. Let your
  commissioners know that you want Board members
  who are qualified and committed to historic
  preservation.

10
COMPOSITION OF THE HPB AN UNRESOLVED ISSUE

• The current ordinance requires all members of
  the HPB to be residents or own property in
  Daytona Beach. The HPB has recommended that this
  requirement remain the same, except if an
  architect cannot be found. City staff have
  proposed that only six of the nine members be
  city residents.
