111 N. Leroux St. Letter Report

Report reviewed and accepted by HPO. The building at 111 N. Leroux St. was determined not to be eligible for listing in the National or Flagstaff Registers of Historic Places due to a lack of significance and integrity. 

Cornerstone Environmental Consulting, LLC conducted a letter report evaluation of the building at 111 N. Leroux St. (APN 100-19-008-A) on behalf of the applicant (Capri, Inc.). This building was previously proposed for demolition for a mixed use development project, and exempted from a Cultural Resource Study because it was not 50 years old at the time. The building is now over 50 years old and proposed for demolition for a new project.

The applicant and property owner propose to demolish this building, along with structures on two adjacent parcels, in advance of proposed construction of a future hotel and parking garage. The proposed parking garage would be located on this parcel and the adjacent parcel at at 123 N. Leroux St. (APN-100-19-007). The proposed hotel building would be located on the 19 W. Birch Ave. (APN-100-19-004-A) parcel. All three parcels are located within the Downtown Historic Overlay Zone, but are outside of the Railroad Addition Historic District.

The applications for Letter Reports for 123 N Leroux and this property are related to an upcoming hotel project that is mentioned in the Letter Report.  These administrative approvals are limited to the ineligible buildings.  The HPO has requested a Phase I Cultural Resource Study of the building at 19 W. Birch Ave.which has not yet been submitted for review.  At this time no development application for the mentioned hotel has been submitted. The new hotel proposal will be subject to a Certificate of Appropriateness and scheduled during the development review process. 

Certificate applications for the demolitions of 111 and 123 N. Leroux are separate agenda items.
