PROPERTY INFORMATION:

REQUESTED ACTION:
Approval of the 205 S. Park Phase I Cultural Resource Study.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Approval of the 205 S. Park Phase I Cultural Resource Study.
Background: The house formerly located at 205 S. Park St. (alternately addressed 405 W. Tucson Ave.) was demolished without a permit in March 2025. Per Flagstaff Zoning Code Section 10-30.30, cultural resource studies are required for all public and private developments involving structures over 50 years old at the time of application. A cultural resource study would normally have been required before issuing a demolition permit. According to past inventories conducted in 1992 and 2007, the house was constructed circa 1916-26 and recommended eligible for listing in the National Register of Historic Places. As such, the Heritage Preservation Officer required a Phase I Cultural Resource Study be completed before issuance of an as-built demolition permit and completion of final inspection of the Tucson Homes project (BP-25-00071) at 405 W. Tucson Ave. The Phase I study was required to assess the significance and integrity of the demolished building pre-demolition.
