79 Public Hearing - Certificate of Economic Hardship (HP-229-23-ECH and HP-231-23-ECH) - Appeal of Historic Preservation Commission's Decision - 333-337 N. 7th Ave. (332-334 N. 6th Ave.)
As a downtown resident and small business owner working out of an historic building, I strongly oppose the destruction of the Milum building at Van Buren seventh Avenue. this would be a tragic loss to the very few unique structures that are left in the city of Phoenix thank you
This historic property must be preserved! The claim of economic hardship by the owner seems dubious when it is public knowledge there was a developer willing to preserve and proceed with acquiring the building and the owner chose to back out.
Preserve Phoenix opposes the appeal and urges the Council to deny the applicant's economic hardship claim. Recent active development plans contradict the alleged economic hardship. The Milum building is a vital asset to the Grand Avenue Historic Commercial District and to DTPHX. Additionally, we align with Arizona Preservation Foundation and GAMA in supporting the staff recommendation to uphold the Historic Preservation Commission's decision, as alternatives to demolition should be explored.
The Grand Avenue Members Association (GAMA) opposes the appeal and requests the Council to deny the applicant's claim of economic hardship. The subject property is within GAMA's area of neighborhood representation. We regard the Milum building as one of the key assets to our historic commercial district. The fact that the property had active development plans that preserved the important building elements until very recently belies the claim of economic hardship.
Arizona Preservation Foundation opposes the appeal and supports staff recommendation that City Council uphold the Historic Preservation Commission's decision to uphold the Historic Preservation Hearing Officer's denial of the Certificate of Economic Hardship, as the standards for granting demolition approval set forth in Section 806.E.5 have not been met. APF agrees with numerous stakeholders, including Preserve Phoenix, that alternatives to demolition exist and should continue to be explored.
