Historic Preservation Advisory Board Special Meeting 6/11/2026

The City of Punta Gorda Historic Preservation Advisory Board held a special meeting on June 11, 2026, primarily discussing historic property conditions, code enforcement processes, and the potential listing of local parks on the National Register of Historic Places. The board reviewed a preliminary site information questionnaire for the parks and voted to forward it to the city manager and city council for further consideration and submission to the state. They also discussed the need for clearer code enforcement procedures and the legal review of a disclosure form and ordinance related to historic preservation. Additionally, the board considered transitioning from an advisory to a regulatory role, with proposed language changes to local development regulations. The meeting included plans to address these topics further at upcoming joint meetings with city council, aiming to advance historic preservation efforts and clarify procedural policies.
