Confirm the Ad Hoc Historical Preservation Advisory Committee Members BACKGROUND In 1996, the City Council appointed alive-member ad-hoc 1-fstoric Research Committee to identify potential historic sites. The primary purpose of that research effort was to evaluate the historic values of the sites and recommend which of the sites potentially warrant preservation and eventually adopt a historic preservation ordinance. The final report from the Historic Reseazch Committee identified, researched the history and rated 32 potentially historic sites (see Exhibit B). On October 6,1997, the City Council accepted the report and the conclusions from the Historic Research Committee and determined that a historic preservation ordinance was not jvarranted, primarily because the highest valued sites listed in the report already had protective measures in place. On January 8, 2007, the City Council directed staff to prepare a Historic Preservation Policy as part of the work program for 2007/$. The Council was interested i~1 a more proactive approach to preserve existing buildings working with the Historical Society and other community groups. On November 5, 2007, the City Council directed staff to work with the Historical Society and involve citizez~.s on a voluntary basis to help review and update the City's Historic Preservation Policy. The City Cow.lci]. also directed staff to report back on how the Historical Society could assist in this effort.

To better address preservation issues, the City Council approved the formation of an ad hoc Historical Preservation Committee (I-1PC). Because your property may have historical value, we believe that you would have a special interest in the formation of preservation policies, and the steps to preserve, relocate, commemorate or disclose the historic nature of a structure or site. The purpose of the proposed Preservation Ordinance is to promote the general welfare by providing for the identification, protection, enhancement, perpetuation, and use of structures and sites within the city that reflect special elements of the city's historical, architectural, archaeological, cultural, or aesthetic heritage for the following reasons: A. To encourage public knowledge, understanding, appreciation and use of the city's past; B. Ta faster public pride in the beauty and character of the city and in the accomplishments of its past; C. To enhance the visual character of the city by encouraging new design and construction that complements the city's historical buildings; D. To increase the economic benefits of historic preservation to the city and its inhabitants; E. To protect property values within the city; F. To identify as early as possible and resolve conflicts between the preservation ar historical resoarces/neighborhoods and alternative land uses; and G. To utilize voluntary preservation measures for pez~nanent preservation of a structure or site, unless is mutually agreed upon by a private property owner, or is associated with public property or with discretionary approval of a project. Three to five residents of the community, along with two to three members of the Cupertino Historical Society will be selected to work with Staff to provide recommendations to the Planning Comnussion and City Council on preservation policies. The estim~.ted duration of the Committee is six to eight months from the time of selection, and meetings are expected to occur once or twice a month in the evening. For your convenience, I have attached the application for your review.
