​

FIRST PETITION DRIVE - Successfully completed in March 2021.

Thanks to your support (at that time) we not only met the required threshold of 25% (petitions from 77 property owners in Bellehurst) we surpassed that number by submitting 91 valid petitions!

​

GOING FORWARD:

We then continued to progress with the next steps in the process of creating a new Historic District, set forth and established by Glendale’s ordinance for historic districting.

​​

April 15, 2021: The Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) met to review the 91 petitions submitted by Bellehurst property owners and voted to approve a "request for proposal" ("RFP") for the retention of a consultant to conduct a Historic Resources Survey of 306 Bellehurst properties within the proposed district.  COMPLETED

​

May 17, 2022: The Historic Resources Survey for Bellehurst was launched, and completed approx. one year later in July 2023. COMPLETED

​

GOING FORWARD IN 2024 - NEXT STEP(s)

​

No Proposed Date in 2024 Offered by the City: After the Historic Resources Survey has been completed by the consultants (hired by the City); The City will notify and invite all Bellehurst property owners to a community meeting, property owners will also be invited to call in. TBD.

​

No Proposed Date in 2024 Offered by the City: The Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) will then meet to review the Historic Resources Survey and (hopefully) vote to approve the circulation of a final petition to Bellehurst property owners (during a six month period) by the applicants/proponents acquiring signatures of 50% (+1) of property owners requesting that the district be designated. Bellehurst property owners will be invited to this meeting and will also be invited to call in. 

​

TBD: The final petition will then be circulated to all property owners (during a six month period) by the applicants/proponents acquiring signatures of 50% (+1) of property owners requesting that the district be designated. This petition must then be submitted to the City and Historic Preservation Commission.​

​

The automatic online DocuSign petition system for this page will resume when we circulate the final petition in 2025. 

​​

Ultimately, the City Council must vote in favor of the historic designation for the zone change to be made.  

​

So far, we've gotten LOTS of positive support and feedback from many of our neighbors and are incredibly appreciative of your support behind the scenes in helping make Bellehurst Historic District a reality!
