TITLE:

Proposed Oak Street North Apartments - Demolition of Historic Mortuary

PROPERTY INFO

Permit Number(s): lPZ-20-00191 
Address: 302 W Oak Street 
IDS review of proposed apartment complex - on hold

Findings:

Applicant was told that a Phase 1 Cultural Resource report would be required for the property because of consideration of age and architectural design and a integral aspect of life and death of the Flagstaff community. Its significance to the community is not fully know and is the justification for at a minimum a Phase 1 CR study is required. 

It appears that the project is on hold and that a realtor is again promoting the sale of the property. A realtor contacted the HPO inquiring on any restrictions on demolition. HPO indicated yes and provided incentives for preservation.

Information:

The design of the mortuary is unique and specific to its use. The gable forms and the use of native stone is in keeping with well known design characteristics in Flagstaff. On architectural merit alone it is significant to Flagstaff and is of 50 + years of age and does require compliance with Heritage Preservation Review and compliance requirements.
