Should anowner have more say in whether a property gets landmark designation in Denver?
, pitched a proposal that would allow a property owner to present a case during any public hearing before council on a landmark designation.
Applying for a landmark designation is fairly easy. A property owner can apply for just a $250 fee. Three people who are Denver residents, property owners or business owners can apply to designate any building a landmark after paying an $875 fee. The executive director of CPD or any Denver City Council member can also apply for a landmark designation for a property.
The proposal pushed by Black, Sawyer and Flynn, which the committee approved sending to the full Denver City Council, also sets a new framework for testimony in historic district designation applications — which involved whole areas, not just a single property — before council. Under the proposal, every applicant and property owner would get three minutes to speak, and those individuals could cede their time to others.
