Title
Briefing of a Historic Nomination for the Community Cannery and Workshop Annex in the Upper Yard of the City’s Public Works Operations Center
Body
RECOMMENDED ACTION (Motion): No action is needed by the Historic Review Board
BACKGROUND:
On March 2, 2017 the McLoughlin Neighborhood Association submitted an application to designate two structures within the City’s Public Works Operations Center as individually designated historic landmarks. The utilitarian structures, known as the Community Cannery and the Workshop Annex, are located within the Upper Yard of the site and were originally constructed for Camp Adair a U.S. Army WWII training facility. Given the nature and condition of the structures as well as the degree to which they have been removed from their original context and grouping, the City will continue to seek an entity to restore the structures to their original condition or use the structures to support others which may be restored to their original condition. However the City, as the owner of the property, refuses to consent to such a designation under ORS 197.772(1). As such, the Historic Review Board is no longer authorized to continue to consider the request for nomination.
