2. Request to reduce the boundaries of a City Landmark Site (Malcolm and Elizabeth Keyser House) at approximately 381 E. 11th Avenue – Larry Perkins is requesting approval from the City to alter the boundaries of a Landmark Site. This would require a zoning map amendment and the City Council is the final decision making body. The applicant proposes to subdivide part of the property in order to create a new buildable lot in the north-east portion of the current property. Currently, the site contains a single family building, the Malcolm and Elizabeth Keyser House and its associated grounds. The proposed new lot would be approximately 7,200 square feet in size. The existing property is zoned SR-1A (Special Development Pattern Residential District) and is approximately 0.78 acres (33,977 Square feet) in size. The entire property is a City Landmark site and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The subject property is located within Council District 3, represented by Stan Penfold. This proposal is being referred to the Historic Landmark Commission for a recommendation to the City Council. (Staff contact: David J. Gellner at (801) 535-6107 or david.gellner@slcgov.com). Case Number PLNHLC2015-00403
a. Amendment to the Zoning Map – An amendment to the zoning map is required to remove this portion of the site from the H-Historic Preservation Overlay District. The HLC is being asked to make a recommendation to the Planning Commission and City Council about the proposed change in accordance with 21A.34.020 D – The Adjustment or Expansion of Boundaries of an H Historic Preservation Overlay District and the Revocation of the Designation of a Landmark Site.
b. Major Alteration of a Historic Landmark Site – Subdividing the property would alter the established property boundary. Altering the boundaries of a Landmark Site is considered a Major Alteration. The Historic Landmark Commission may approve a Major Alteration. The applicant will be required to follow the Subdivision process for creation and recordation of the new lot conditioned upon City Council approving the Zoning Map Amendment.
Decision: Major alteration – Denied, A negative recommendation amending the zoning map was forwarded to the Planning Commission and the City Council
