CITY OF RIVERSIDE City of Arts &Innovation CULTURAL HERITAGE BOARD MINUTES WEDNESDAY, JUNE 15, 2022, 3:30 P.M. PUBLIC COMMENT IN PERSON/TELEPHONE ART PICK COUNCIL CHAMBER 3900 MAIN STREET COMMISSIONERS PRESENT: J. Brown, M. Carter, J. Gamble, P. Horychuk, C. McDoniel, C. Tobin ABSENT: N. Ferguson STAFF: D. Murray, S. Watson, S. Wilson, F. Andrade Chair Gamble called the meeting to order at 3:30 p.m. ORAL COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE AUDIENCE Jordon Sisson spoke regarding item 6. He stated Article VII, Section 2c mentions applicant presentation is limited to 15 minutes. He asked if non -applicant appeals have 15 minutes as well? Article 14, makes reference to commission handbook, relevant sections 4 (page 11 in handbook) items 3 and 5 (page 18 in handbook), these seem appropriate however, probably should be monitored in case the handbook does change. Regarding item 7 - Historical District Update, he thanked staff for thorough overview. He suggested a handy one page flow chart that would be helpful for residents who want to know about the designation process. Second, it would generally be very helpful to have sense of time and financial resources for the designation process. He asked if perhaps a CPI adjustment of the two most recent districts may be helpful (Palm Heights 2008 and Somerset Drive District in 2005). While these aren't very recent they may give a glimpse of the financial cost for small and bigger jurisdictions. Third, there are 4 potential historical districts and 4 conservation areas it and it would be helpful to know where they are in the process of designation and perhaps what resources are necessary to see those through the process; or perhaps gain staff's opinion of which of those areas should be prioritized and for what reason. Last, he requested a brief overview of the major efforts in the last five years. It may be helpful particularly when the vacancies for this body are filled. CONSENT CALENDAR The Consent Calendar was unanimously approved as presented below affirming the actions appropriate to each item. MINUTES The minutes of the meetings of May 18, 2022, were approved as presented. Approved - Cultural Heritage Board Minutes - June 15, 2022 1
