On Dec. 10, 2012, the Historic Landmarks Commission weighed in on proposed code amendments in the Historic Resources Code Improvement Project Discussion Draft. At the public hearing, the Commission listened to testimony from approximately 15 community members, who shared a variety of comments ranging from general support for the amendment package to concerns about relaxing the review process for historic structures.
