3. Conduct the public hearing regarding the proposed amendments to Chapter 11 (Historic
 Preservation) of Title 6 (Zoning Ordinance) regarding the Designation of Landmarks and
 owner consent - PZC 22-1-113
 Allison Laff, Deputy Director of TED, provided an overview of the text
 amendment.

 Chairman Losurdo asked for clarification on why the amendment requires
 only three City Council members instead of the majority of Council
 members in order for the landmark request to be added as an agenda
 item. Ms. Laff clarified that this holds an existing practice as it is the
 standard protocol for any item raised by a Council person under new
 business.

 Chairman Losurdo asked for clarification on why 50 years is selected as
 the number for a property to be considered a landmark. Ms. Laff clarified
 that 50 years is the threshold used by other groups such as the Illinois
 Historic Preservation Agency and the National Register as what would
 considered for a property to be landmarked.

 Public testimony:

 Becky Simon spoke in support of the amendment.

 Marilyn Schweitzer supports the proposed amendment but questions
 whether the phrase “given the totality of the circumstances” for the meeting
 of request to submit a landmark application without owner consent
 removes any sort of limited purpose and finds this wording won’t have the
 overall benefit that Council intended.

 Christine Jeffries spoke in support of the amendment on behalf of
 Naperville Area Chamber of Commerce and Naperville Development
 Partnership and introduced a website which provides an overview of the
 landmarking process (napervillelandmark.com).

 The PZC closed the public hearing.


 A motion was made by Commissioner Wright to approve PZC 22-1-113, a text
 amendment to Title 6 (Zoning Regulations) Chapter 11 (Historic Preservation) of
 the Naperville Municipal Code.

 Aye: 7- Athanikar, Castagnoli, King, Losurdo, McDaniel, Robbins, and Wright

 Absent: 2- Richelia, and Van Someren
