Summary

This item concerns a proposed rezoning of the property at 1112 West 10th Street, known as the Simmons-Glaser House. The applicant requests to change the zoning from SF-3-HD-NP (family residence-historic district-neighborhood plan) to SF-3-H-HD-NP (family residence-historic landmark-historic district-neighborhood plan). This change would officially designate the property as a historic landmark within its existing historic district and neighborhood plan zoning.

Glaser (a founder of Musicians Union Local 433).
