Putting a rumor to rest...
It seems that some people have the impression that the city is working on expanding the College Park Historic District to include the area east of Federal Hwy. Please see the following correspondence from this morning between me and William Waters:
Is there anything being considered about expanding the boundaries of the College Park district to include east of Federal Hwy. If so, to what extent and when would this happen? Thanks!

Wes,
Good morning. At this time, the Planning, Zoning and Historic Preservation Division has more than enough to fill its plate, and the new staff members are not likely to be here for another month. As part of the revised LDR adoption process, we will need to reevaluate and re-designate each of the City’s six (6) historic districts. During the resurvey work we can look at what would be a more appropriate boundary to the College Park Historic District. I do caution that we really must get our entire house in order from customer service to forms, policies and procedures to the review process and Board activities prior to my being able to recommend we include any additional areas in historic districts. Unless we are able to administer the districts we have with a high level of customer service and efficiency, I do not think it prudent to add any more neighborhoods. With historic preservation, the quality of our efforts is far more important than the quantity of our efforts. Thanks and we can discuss more at our next HRPB meeting, which has a heady number of cases including the Zoning in Progress for the LDRs.

Thanks. Don't think that my question indicated support for expansion - I agree that we have to manage what we have now well before we take on more. You should be aware that there is a "buzz" in the community about the prospect of including the area east of Federal in the district. You may hear more about this - I do not know where it is coming from. So the H zoning designation would, for now, only be for the areas currently part of historic districts?
Yes, we are not proposing that any of the local historic districts will change in size or configuration except for the Old Town Historic District as I can’t seem to wrap my arms around the justification for the current boundary. It does not match the National Register boundary and that is problematic for me. Thanks.
