Local Historic Landmark is a designation for historic sites in Cincinnati, Ohio, United States, overseen by the Cincinnati City Council. , there are 52 designated Local Historic Landmarks, located across the city.
The Cincinnati Historic Conservation Board supervises properties designated as Local Historic Landmarks, and regulates changes such as additions, alterations, and demolitions. Many of the sites designated as Local Historic Landmarks are also listed on the National Register of Historic Places, providing federal tax support for preservation. Some are further designated National Historic Landmarks, providing additional federal oversight.
Criteria The Cincinnati City Council's Historic Conservation Board decides a building's historic significance. The structure must have at least one of the following attributes, as stated in the Cincinnati Municipal Code:
Structures that would not be given landmark designations, as stated in the Cincinnati Municipal Code, include:
Application process Historic districts, landmarks, and sites require filing of a designation application. This must be filed by the property owner or owner of a property in the area to be designated, or by the city council or its members, by the city council, city manager, city Urban Conservator, City Planning Commission, or by local preservation societies and community councils. After filing an application and during its nomination process, the site may not be demolished or evacuated.
Within 60 days of receiving the designation application, the city's Urban Conservator prepares and sends a report and guidelines for conservation to the city council's Historic Conservation Board. For historic districts, the Urban Conservator also sends a proposed boundary map, a list of all included structures, and a list of non-contributing structures.
The Historic Conservation Board schedules a public hearing to consider the landmark within 30 days of receiving the report and proposed guidelines. After the hearing, the board decides whether or not to recommend the designation, and forwards the decision and materials to the City Planning Commission. Within 30 days of the recommendation, the planning commission holds a public hearing to determine whether to follow the conservation board's recommendation. Afterward, the planning commission likewise forwards its decision and materials to the city council, which votes to ordain or overrule the planning commission's decision. If the planning commission approves of the designation, only a simple majority vote in the council is needed. However, if the planning commission does not approve of the designation, two-thirds of the council would need to vote in overruling the planning commission.
