6. New Business/Public Hearings
Case No. P19020 – Adoption of the Jefferson city Historic Preservation Plan,
Comprehensive Plan Amendment. Request filed by City Staff for the adoption of the Jefferson
City Historic Preservation Plan as a component of the Jefferson City Comprehensive Plan. The
plan outlines goals and strategies that focus and spearhead historic preservation efforts in
Jefferson City.
Ms. Nanoski gave a presentation on the Historic Preservation Plan and explained that the
purpose is to highlight the community’s historical assets and understand how to move forward
with protecting and leveraging those assets. The plan will provide the community with a focused
document, specifically concentrating on the City’s unique issues and opportunities, to guide
historic preservation efforts throughout the City.
Ms. Nanoski went on to explain the five main goals of the plan:
1. Reinforce the role of Jefferson City’s historic core as central to the City’s identity and
long-term economic development strategy – emphasizing quality of place.
2. Activate and revitalize Jefferson City’s historic commercial centers and residential
neighborhoods as distinctive places for living and investing.
3. Connect the City’s historic core to its outlying suburban neighborhoods through
transportation enhancements, parks, open space, trails, bikeways, programing, public
facilities, and other initiatives.
4. Use the City’s historic preservation, neighborhood services, and planning programs
strategically to stimulate private investment in the revitalization of historic areas.
5. Actively engage residents and visitors with information, interpretation, and programming
that reinforces community identity and tells the City’s stories.
Mr. Lester asked for clarification that the Committee will just be making a recommendation and
that each individual item will be evaluated and will go out for public comment and committee
review. Ms. Nanoski confirmed that the plan is a set of recommendations and that any changes
will go through the proper channels.
Mary Shantz, 1928 Hayselton, spoke in favor of this request. She stated that she is the chair of
the Historic Preservation Commission. She said she believes this is a plan that the City needs.
She stated it will be an ongoing process.
Donna Deetz, 720 E High, spoke in favor of this request. She stated that she is the president for
the Historic City of Jefferson. She said she is very much in favor of this request, and believes that
a lot of demolitions and abandonments could have been eliminated, if we had this plan in place
sooner.
Holly Stitt, 1727 South View, Holts Summit, spoke in favor of this request. She stated she has
tried to restore many historic buildings, and likes the fact that this document would give guidance.
No one spoke in opposition to this request.
Ms. Nanoski gave the staff report and staff recommendation.
Discussion took place between commission members and staff, on whether or not rental
inspections need to be part of the plan. Staff reiterated that establishment of a rental inspection
program is a recommendation of the plan, but would have to go through an official public review
process before any decisions to enact such a program.
Mr. Lester moved and Mr. Deeken seconded to approve the resolution to adopt the Jefferson City
Historic Preservation Plan as a component of the Jefferson City Comprehensive Plan. The
motion passed 8-0 with the following votes:
Aye: Lester, Deeken, Markus, Yarnell, Cotton, Vaughan, Quigg, and Fretwell.
