Dear list, let's review the process , this is from the UCHS site listed below. Al's proposed meeting is redundant.
How is a Philadelphia Historic District created? Working with local community and historic preservation groups, the Historic Designation Committee of the Commission undertakes a preliminary review of an area's significance and of the boundaries that reflect that significance. After that determination, a nomination is prepared that contains a description of the characteristics of the potential district, its significance, an evaluative inventory listing, for every property in the district, photographs and a map. A community group, a preservation organization, or a person on the Commission staff may write a nomination. Upon the completion of this work, the Commission schedules public hearings to consider the nomination and to determine whether the proposed district meets the criteria for designation provided in the Ordinance. At least sixty (60) days before the hearings, every owner receives written notice of the hearings, notices are posted in the neighborhood, and a notice appears in the newspaper. The Commission holds several sessions to receive public testimony and comment on the proposed district. At least one of these sessions takes place during the evening in the neighborhood. In addition, interested persons may submit written comments on the proposed district. Finally, the Commission will vote to designate-or not to designate-the district as historic <http://sprucehill.uchs.net/factsheet.htm>http://sprucehill.uchs.net/factsheet. <http://sprucehill.uchs.net/factsheet.htm>htm ---- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to the list named "UnivCity."
