owned by the Jefferson City School District: 406 Union Street; 413 Stadium Boulevard; 416 Case

economic, social or historic heritage of the city. Staff recommendation for these properties is demolition.

Lane, Holts Summit, Missouri. He explained that Jefferson City High School is landlocked and the
purpose of acquiring these properties is to further expand their sports facilities.

What is the Landmark Designation Award?
The Landmark Award is an honorary designation and is made by the City of Jefferson’s
Historic Preservation Commission which recognizes a property’s historical significance and
contribution to the community. Each year since 1994, the Commission recognizes several
buildings or properties as Landmark Award properties.
Properties that have received the Landmark Award represent the full range of Jefferson
City’s heritage and architectural style. The properties include governmental properties,
educational institutions, residences, retail stores, manufacturing properties, houses of
worship, and freestanding monuments. Some have been restored to their original use.
Others have been restored and put to new uses. Some are part of the State’s park system.
Others have not been restored or preserved. Whatever their condition or use, the
Commission truly appreciates the willingness of the individual property owners to allow
their properties to be recognized for the historic and architectural contribution they make
to our community.
Applications submitted by the property owner are reviewed at the Historic Preservation
Commission’s March regular meeting where the review process begins and evaluated by the
following criteria:
• The historic, architectural or cultural significance of the property, as those
terms are defined under the City’s preservation ordinance
• The type of property involved, including its historic use and its present use
• The location of the property, including the overall historical context of the area
and the property’s contribution to the area and surrounding properties
• The historic architectural integrity of the property, including whether efforts have
been made to preserve or restore the property
• Whether the property is endangered
Final selections of the awardees are then designated by the City Council, each by separate
ordinance. In May of each year during the City’s Preservation Week activities, the awards are
presented to the owners along with a Designated Landmark plaque for permanent display on
the building or property.
After a landmark or historic district is designated by ordinance, each application for
building permit within the area so designated referred to the City of Jefferson Historic
Preservation Commission for review at a regularly scheduled meeting. This process is only
intended as an opportunity for the Historic Preservation Commission to advise property
owners with means and methods of historic preservation.
