Conservation District Proposal Rejected by Heritage Preservation Commission
Twenty-six homeowners in a 3.2 acre section of the neighborhood along Ivy Lane, Zenith Avenue and West 32nd Street have proposed that that their homes be designated a Conservation District. The purpose of the designation would be to preserve an island of historically and architecturally significant homes in a sea of increasing residential density in the vicinity of the planned West Lake light rail station. At its August 6, 2019 meeting your neighborhood council voted to go on record in support of the designation. The City’s Heritage Preservation Commission voted 5-3 in favor of initiating the process of creating the district at its September 17, 2019 meeting. However, at its July 28, 2020 meeting, the Commission rejected the proposal by an 8-1 vote, citing potential conflicts with the City’s 2040 Plan.
