PLANNING AND ZONING COMMISSION
RESOLUTION NO. 94-001
A RESOLUTION OF THE SEWARD PLANNING AND ZONING
COMMISSION, RECOMMENDING THAT THE CITY COUNCIL
AMEND ~ 2.30.225, POWERS & DUTIES OF THE PLANNING
AND ZONING COMMISSION, AND ESTABLISH AN HISTORIC
PRESERVATION COMMISSION
WHEREAS, the city desires to continue its local certified government (CLG) status
in order to qualify for historic preservation grant funds; and
WHEREAS, a major condition of maintaining CLG status is an active historic
preservation commission; and
WHEREAS, because of timing to attain CLG status and qualify for remaining grant
funds at the time, the Planning and Zoning Commission was given the additional duty
of acting as the historic preservation commissionj and
WHEREAS, the duties of the Planning and Zoning Commission are too broad to
focus the necessary attention and interest historic preservation issues warrant; and
WHEREAS, there appears to be sufficient interest in the community to warrant
what is generally considered the norm in most communities, a separate historic
preservation commissionj
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Seward Planning and Zoning
Commission that:
Section 1. The Seward City Council is urged to adopt an ordinance amending the
City Code, transferring historic preservation duties from the Planning and Zoning
Commission to a newly established Historic Preservation Commission.
Section 2. This resolution shall take effect immediately upon its adoption.
PASSED AND APPROVED by the Seward Planning and Zoning Commission this
5th day of January, 1994.
