Citizens Petition to Extend the City of Cambridge Demolition Delay from Six to Twelve Months
We, the undersigned, residents of Cambridge Massachusetts hereby petition the Cambridge City Council to amend
the Municipal Code of the City of Cambridge, Title 2, Chapter 2.78.090 subparagraphs E and 1 by changing six
months to twelve months twice in each paragraph to permit the Cambridge Historical Commission to delay the
issuance of a demolition permit for twelve months. Under the current ordinance, the Cambridge Historical
Commission may delay a demolition for only six months.
2.78.090 - Procedures for demolition.
Upon a determination by the Commission that any building which is the subject of an
E.
application is a preferably preserved significant building, it shall so advise the person who
submitted the application and the Building Commissioner, and no demolition permit or building
permit for new construction or alterations on the premises shall be issued until twelve months
after the date of such determination by the Commission except as may be provided for in
subsection I of this section. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, the Building
Commissioner may issue a demolition permit for a preferably preserved significant building at
any time after receipt of written advice from the Commission to the effect either (1) that the
Commission is satisfied that there is no reasonable likelihood that either the owner or some
other person or group willing to purchase the preferably preserved significant building would be
willing to preserve, rehabilitate or restore such building, or (2) that the Commission is satisfied
that for at least twelve months since the owner first sought the advice of the Commission or
the Commission staff in locating a person or group that might be willing to purchase such
building and to preserve, rehabilitate or restore the same, the owner of the preferably
preserved significant building has made continuing, bona fide, reasonable and unsuccessful
efforts to locate such a purchaser.
1.
During the twelve-month delay of demolition, no application for a building permit for new
construction or alterations on the premises of a preferably reserved significant building shall be
granted until reviewed by the Commission as though the property were designated as a
landmark under Article III of this chapter 2.78. Until the expiration of the twelve-month delay
period, the Commission shall review all construction, demolition, or alteration that affects the
exterior architectural features, other than color, of the structures on the
premises of a preferably preserved significant building.
