At the meeting of the INC Zoning and Planning Committee, the following motion was passed by a vote of 15 in favor, 4 opposed and 6 abstaining to present to the Delegation on November 10 for its consideration.

MOTION FOR APPROVAL
Inter-Neighborhood Cooperation should communicate to City Council, the Community Planning and Development Department and the Landmark Preservation Commission that it opposes any effort to increase the filing fee for a landmark application by a non-owner to more than $500. Any larger increase would seriously harm the ability of less affluent neighborhoods or non-profit organizations to work to protect structures of historic and architectural significance. 

Background: Currently the fee for all applications, by owners or non-owners, is $250. The City Council Land Use, Transportation and Infrastructure Committee considering several changes to the Landmark Preservation Ordinance. Some Council members and organizations believe that the fee for non-owners should be much higher than $500.

Planning INC’s Future – Based on INC’s goals and objectives, giving direction and ideas to the Executive Committee through working groups and discussion.

Possible motion to amend bylaws related to membership classifications.
