Historic Preservation Plan 2013

One of Council's 2012-2013 Goals is to assist the Historic Preservation Commission with the development of a Historic Preservation Plan for the City.

On March of 2013 the City Council approved a contract with the consultant, Brum & Associates, to assist the City's Historic Preservation Commission in crafting the Plan. The Consultant and Commission were charged with the following tasks:

  • Analyze unfilled historic preservation opportunities.
  • Develop a plan for a historic district or consortium, recognizing that historic resources are dispersed throughout the City.
  • Develop a program for establishing a historic resources index/register.
  • Develop an inventory of economic strategies and workable incentives for encouraging private and public sector historic preservation efforts.
  • Establish historic preservation evaluation criteria for restoration/ replacement/reuse of historic resources.
  • Develop a strategy for financing/providing a railroad museum.

The Historic Preservation Commission held an open house on June 26, 2013 focused on gathering input on the strengths and opportunities in historic preservation. Key stakeholders were also interviewed and the Pasco Historic Preservation Commission provided feedback and guidance for the project.

A Public hearing was held by the Historic Preservation Commission on October 23, 2013 to review the final draft of the Plan and to make a recommended to the City. The City Council adopted the Plan (Resolution 3521) (PDF) on November 4, 2013.
