Properties proposed for historic landmark designation by someone other than the owner would need Naperville City Council approval before going through the review process under a proposed ordinance change.
The amendment was drafted by city staff after the council asked for an added extra layer of protection for property owners who find themselves in a situation where a third party seeks landmark approval despite their opposition.Council members say they want to strike a balance between property owners’ rights and the desire to preserve places that are historically significant.
The proposed change, which council members will review Dec. 20, requires the property owner be notified before a landmark application if filed so their position is known, according to Allison Laff, deputy director of the city’s Transportation, Engineering and Development department. At the council meeting, the applicant and the property owner are allowed to present their arguments pro and con. Five or more council members must vote in favor of initiating the review process for it to proceed, Laff said.
Naperville Development Partnership President Christine Jeffries, speaking at this week’s commission meeting, said her group and the Naperville Area Chamber of Commerce support the changes as important additions to the process.
