[Source: Barbara Stocklin] -- On January 25 Historic Preservation (HP) staff gave a presentation to the Parks and Recreation Board regarding historic designation for Grant and Harmon Parks. Grant Park is located at 701 S. 3rd Avenue; Harmon Park is located at 1425 S. 5th Avenue. Both properties were recommended eligible for historic designation as part of the Hispanic Historic Property Survey, completed in October 2006. The portion of Harmon park north of the Yuma Street alignment would be excluded because the new Harmon Library is slated to be built on this site. The existing library building has been slated for demolition. Following staff’s presentation, the Parks and Recreation Board voted unanimously to support the historic designation. Staff will request that the HP Commission initiate HP zoning for the property on March 19, 2007.
