RECOMMENDATION: Planning Staff recommends that City Council approve the application and funding in the amount of $20,000 to secure grant matching from the Arkansas Historic Preservation Program to further fund a $60,000 CLG grant requested by staff to complete a community wide preservation plan contingent upon the final grant award from the state preservation agency. BACKGROUND: Community Preservation Plan: This plan is considered a historic preservation master plan for the city. It would identify resources for future survey and National Historic Register listing as well as assessing current preservation efforts, plan for new initiatives, and make the case for preservation to decisionmakers and community members. The plan would also assist in defining goals for future CLG grant projects. University Heights Cultural Resource Survey: As part of the wider survey a broad cultural and historical context survey of University Heights area would be completed. This would include historical development patterns, history, and recognition of historically significant structures or groupings in the area. Mailing Address: 113 W. Mountain Street www.fayetteville-ar.gov Fayetteville, AR 72701 DISCUSSION: The citypreviouslyapplied foragrant to complete a communitypreservation plan in ppp 2019, but was denied, primarily because the city did not offer any cost-share to complete the plan. The SHPO has indicated that they would fund the grant contingent upon a match provided by the city to show dedication to the project. This is another opportunity to secure funding to create this plan in 2021, which would function as a blueprint for addressing the diverse culturally significant properties and histories in Fayetteville. The University Heights and Haskell Heights neighborhoods are located west of the University of Arkansas campus. AHPP conducted a site visit to both these neighborhoods. Following that visit, AHPP staff issued a letter indicating that this area seems to have importance with some of the early farmhouses that remain in the area, as well as a number of houses that have connections to University of Arkansas faculty. Thus staff considered it of vital importance to include a context survey as a goal of the overall preservation plan, as soon as possible, to evaluate the cultural and historical relevance of the area and to begin initiatives to preserve what is left of the original historical fabric as important properties are being lost. Staff is requesting approval of fund matching at this time contingent upon grant approval by the SHPO as the grant application is due on December 30th, 2020. BUDGET/STAFF IMPACT: A budget adjustment is proposed in the amount of $20,000 for the City's matching funds and a future council item will be submitted to accept and appropriate the entire amount of the grant upon award.
