Nawrocki and Members of City Council CC: Sam Azad, City Manager VIA: Gina Dutcher, City Clerk FROM: Steven Meier, Director of Planning & Community Development SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE DESIGNATING THE BLACK HILLS 5 & 6 POWER PLANT, AS A LOCAL PUEBLO HISTORIC LANDMARK SUMMARY: This Ordinance designates The Black Hills 5&6 Power Plant as a local Pueblo Historic Landmark, pursuant to the Historic Preservation Code, Chapter 14, Title IV of the Pueblo Municipal Code. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION: None. BACKGROUND: The power plant delivered power beginning in 1888. It is an example of the Art Deco Industrial with Modern Movements. The structure anchors the northwestern end of the Historic Arkansas River Project (HARP) and is adjacent to the Union Avenue Historic District, which contains a number of buildings on the National Register of Historic Places. To qualify as a historic landmark in the City of Pueblo, a property must be eligible under certain criteria (historic, architectural, and/or geographic). City Council will determine, at this public meeting, whether this landmark application complies with the rules for designation according to municipal code (Sec. 4-14-8). The applicant claims that the Black Hills Power Plant 5 & 6 is eligible under the following:  History-1a : Have direct association with the historical development of the city, state, or nation.  History 1b: Be the site of a significant historic event (such as during the flood of 1921).  Architecture-2a : Embody distinguishing characteristics of an architectural style or type.  Architecture2b -: Be a significant example of the work of a recognized architect or master builder.  Architecture-2c : Contain elements of architectural design, engineering, materials, craftsmanship, or artistic merit which represent a significant or influential innovation.  Geography-3a : Have a prominent location or be an established, familiar, and orienting visual feature of the contemporary city. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS: The financial impact associated with this designation has been in question since the beginning of the decommissioning of the Black Hills 5&6 Plant. The history of the plans for saving the building included requests by the City to advertise for proposals for the adaptive reuse of the building in lieu of demolition. Black Hills agreed to the request and stayed demolition for several months while adaptive reuse offers were solicited. The Request for Proposals was advertised. One offer was received but did not meet the criteria to be acceptable as complete. Black Hills then offered the building to the City. The City declined due to lack of resources to properly maintain the structure and its environmental issues until a developer could be found. Black Hills was given the go ahead to proceed with preparation for demolition which required abatement of several items within the structure. The demolition permit was brought to City Planning and the routing sheet was signed. Black Hills then completed the required abatement requirement and filed for a demolition permit with Pueblo Regional Building. Before Regional Building could issue the permit an application for Landmark Designation was submitted by the Historic Preservation Commission. According to Pueblo HPC procedures an application for Landmark would stay the demolition of the structure. The demolition permit was then withheld as procedure dictates. Black Hills Energy has indicated that further delays would be met with litigation in District Court if City Council approves the Landmark designation. BOARD/COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION: th The City of Pueblo Historic Preservation Commission voted unanimously on March 10, 2016 to approve the recommendation for Landmark. The City of Pueblo Planning and Zoning th Commission voted 4-2 on April 13, 2016 in favor of the recommendation. STAKEHOLDER PROCESS: The Historic Preservation and Planning and Zoning Commissions each conducted public hearings to receive comments on the request for historic designation as part of their required process. ALTERNATIVES: The Black Hills 5&6 will not be designated as local Pueblo Historic Landmark. RECOMMENDATION: Staff will defer recommendation to City Council regarding the Landmark designation of Black Hills 5&6. Attachments: 1. Planning and Zoning Commission Staff Report 2.
