  • South Temple National Register Historic District Nomination
    Memorandum Planning Division Community & Economic Development Department To: Historic Landmark Commission From: Janice Lew, Senior Historic Preservation Planner Date: October 31, 2013 Re: National Register of Historic Places- South Temple Historic District (amended) Attached please find the amended National Register nomination for the South Temple Historic District. The Utah State Historic Preservation SHPO is requesting review and a recommendation from the Historic Landmark Commission on the amended nomination. Several years ago, the South Temple historic district area was re-surveyed, but the National Register nomination was never amended with the updated information. As a Certified Local Government (CLG), the City received federal funding through the Utah State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) to hire a consultant to complete this work. Nominations are reviewed by the Board of State History prior to being submitted to the National Park Service, the federal organization responsible for the National Register. The Board of State History will conduct their review during their November meeting. The CLG program was created by the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966 (as amended in 1980). It establishes a partnership between local governments, the federal historic preservation program and each state's historic preservation office.

  • 1 in the COURT of APPEAL of the STATE of CALIFORNIA FIRST APPELLATE DISTRICT DIVISION THREE UPHOLD OUR HERITAGE, Plaintiff and R
    Filed 1/10/06; pub. order 2/7/06 (see end of opn.) IN THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA FIRST APPELLATE DISTRICT DIVISION THREE UPHOLD OUR HERITAGE, Plaintiff and Respondent, v. TOWN OF WOODSIDE, A113376 Defendant and Appellant; (San Mateo County STEVEN JOBS, Super. Ct. No. 444270) Real Party in Interest and Appellant. Disregarding multiple staff recommendations to the contrary, the Town of Woodside (Town) issued a permit to Steve Jobs authorizing the demolition of a mansion of historic significance to permit the construction of a smaller single family residence. The Town council (Council), like the planning commission, found that the proposed alternatives to the demolition identified in an environmental impact report (EIR) are not feasible and that overriding considerations justify approval of a conditional demolition permit despite the adverse impact on the environment. Upon a petition by respondent Uphold Our Heritage (Heritage), a private group of preservationists, the superior court concluded that these findings are not supported by substantial evidence and issued a writ of mandate directing the Town to set aside its approval of the demolition permit. The Town and Jobs have jointly appealed. We are not unsympathetic with the manner in which the Town has attempted to strike a balance between the competing interests in permitting the property owner to improve his property as he wishes and preserving as 1 much of the historical resource as possible. Nonetheless, based on our independent review of the administrative record, we must agree with the trial court that the Town’s feasibility findings are not supported by substantial evidence.
