Yalecrest-Laird Heights Local Historic District
Discussed
The council was briefed on applying the H-Historic Overlay to 66 homes on Laird Avenue from 1300 East to 1500 East, including Laird Circle and Uintah Circle. Staff said a property owner support survey had 85% turnout. Council members discussed how local historic districts interact with the recently passed Affordable Housing Incentives, concluding new construction would not affect them. A hearing was planned for March 5. Council Member Chris Wharton disclosed a family member's involvement with the district without compensation and stated no conflict of interest.
