Applicant: Justin Zurlinden has submitted a petition for the nomination of a historic district on the northwest side of Carbondale, to the Carbondale Register of Historic Places. (See Applicant’s Brief Exhibit A) B.) Proposed District Boundaries: The proposed historic district encompasses the general description as follows. From the: 100 to 300 Block of North Springer; The 500 Block of West Sycamore; The 400 to 500 Block of North Poplar; Portions of the 600 to 700 Block of West Main; The 100 Block of North Almond; and, The 500 to 600 Block of West Oak A full legal description along with the proposed boundary is included in Exhibit B. C.) Existing Zoning The southern boundary of the proposed district running along West Main Street is zoned PAR, Professional Administrative Office, Residential District; property north to Pecan Street is zoned R-2 Medium Density Residential; and property north of Pecan Street is zoned R-1-5 Low Density Residential (5,000 sq. ft.) The proposed Northwest Historic District is also adjacent to the West Walnut Street Historic District, a Preservation Overlay district. 1  D.) Existing Land Use Existing land uses within the proposed district are primarily residential structures, lawns and yards, and small-scale commercial uses along West Main Street. (Exhibit E – Existing Land Use Map) E.) Future Land Use The City’s comprehensive plan identifies the proposed historic district area as Traditional Neighborhood, and Corridor Mixed Use, and as a Neighborhood Opportunity area. (Exhibit F – Future Land Use Map) PROCEDURE FOR DESIGNATION: The Preservation Commission is required to conduct a public hearing to hear testimony from the applicant, staff, other interested parties, expert witnesses and any written comments submitted prior to or during the hearing. The Commission shall make a Finding of Fact regarding the criteria for nomination, the district boundaries, and the design guidelines, and shall also make a recommendation to the City Council. The nomination is then reviewed by the City Council and approved by ordinance if the designation is granted, or denied by resolution. Attached for the Commission's review are the proposed district boundaries (Exhibit A), the Preservation District Nomination Form for the property, and photos of the subject property. DESCRIPTION OF PROPERTY: There are approximately 70 existing residences within the proposed district, and a few commercial offices. Approximately 40 percent of homes are Craftsman-style homes; Vernacular and Colonial Revival account for approximately 16 percent each, and Queen Anne-style homes account for 11 percent. There are several other historic housing types that exist within the proposed district, but make up a small percentage of the housing stock. Examples of each housing typology are included for reference. Craftsman, Colonial-Revival, and Vernacular style homes used to be common home designs in Carbondale; today, there are few remaining. Many of the remainders are concentrated within the proposed historic district. There are two existing properties within the proposed district that have local historic designation: 512 West Oak Street, also known as the Winter House, and 601 West Oak Street. This section of town includes some of the older properties in town, many of which were platted in the mid-to-late nineteenth century. A few houses in the neighborhood were constructed prior to 1900, but the majority were constructed between 1910 to 1915. The neighborhood was largely built out by the early 1940s. In addition to older housing stock, the neighborhood retains sections of brick sidewalk and a handful of brick driveways. A couple of examples are provided in Exhibit C. Sections of streets through the neighborhood also retain their brick, although they have since been overlaid with asphalt. The potential to be restored to brick, however, remains. Over the last several decades, the neighborhood has undergone a degree of decline due to a combination of demolitions, deferred maintenance, and incompatible alterations, particularly the 2 haphazard execution of converting single-family homes into multi-family residences as a quick band- aid to the City’s housing shortage of the 1950s, 60s, and 70s. Today, these rental properties comprise approximately one-third of all homes within the proposed district. Deferred maintenance and demolitions have become especially problematic in recent years. Neighbors have expressed concerns about the number of demolitions of homes near the proposed historic district. The demolitions are, in part, an effect of deferred maintenance; however, there is also a reinforcing feedback loop where the demolitions make residents less willing to maintain their homes for fear their property will be acquired and demolished next; this, in turn, exacerbates deferred maintenance, and increases the likelihood that structures will further deteriorate to the point where it is cost prohibitive to restore them, and/or, safety becomes such a concern that demolition is the only option. One consideration for designating an area as a historic district is the number of contributing properties. A contributing property is typically considered as a structure whose design contributes to the period of significance and has retained the historic character, design, and materials. Contributing structures within the proposed Northwest Historic District were constructed between the late 1800s to 1920. Non-contributing structures were either constructed after the period of significance or have been altered so heavily that they have lost their historic character. According to the Applicant, there are 61 contributing structures within the proposed historic district. Exhibit C shows houses contributing to the historic character of the neighborhood, according to the Applicant. Approximately 15% of properties in the neighborhood are newer constructions that do not contribute to the historic significance of the neighborhood. PART B. FINDING OF FACT: A.) Criteria For Designation: The property satisfies the following criteria for designation (Section 15-2D-1.D of the Preservation District regulations): j. Its recognition as a Carbondale neighborhood, commercial area, or public activity center characterized by solid housing or commercial buildings (which are not necessarily significant or homogeneous in architectural design), and whose properties and structures are threatened by deterioration, demolition, or disharmonious alteration. Recommended Design Standards for the Northwest Historic District: The following are the proposed design standards for the Northwest Historic District. Purpose The purpose of these design standards is to provide a guideline to educate the community on appropriate design considerations for the Northwest Historic District, to inspire the community to invest and restore the existing historic homes in Carbondale, and protect the character and structures of the designated district from demolition or uncharacteristic exterior renovations. All design standards are to be created by and for the neighborhood in which they will be applied. Scope These design standards apply to all properties within the boundaries of the Northwest Historic 3 District. The design standards apply to any significant exterior renovations and/or additions to a property. These design standards will not override or supersede the City of Carbondale’s Revised Code. These standards do not change the zoning or use regulations of the properties within the district. Interior changes are not included in the scope of any of these design standards. The intent is that owners will consult these design standards (and the historic preservation design resources available through the Carbondale Preservation Commission) when making decisions about updates and upgrades to their properties. Demolition Every effort should be made to locate a sympathetic buyer and/or an appropriate use for the structure to prevent its demolition. For structures already designated or for structures listed on the City’s Inventory or Potential Historic Landmarks, a 60-day moratorium is required before a demolition permit can be issued. During the 60-day period, the Carbondale Preservation Commission will assist the property owner to identify possible alternatives to demolition. Additions Any addition to the property should conform to the original character of the property, especially when the addition can be seen from the street. The scale of the addition as well as the setbacks from the road and property lines shall be taken into consideration when designing an addition to a property in the district. Exterior Materials When choosing materials for the exterior of the property, owners should consider: • Siding: Original siding materials are preferred including horizontal overlapping wood siding and brick veneer. Siding options should be evaluated and the most historic style chosen when financially possible. Homes with vinyl siding are allowed to replace with similar materials. • Windows- Window size and configuration should be maintained when possible. Windows should look the same as the original style when viewed from the street. • Doors- Historically accurate door styles should be used. Door size and configuration should be appropriate to the style of the house. • Roofing- Roofing should be traditional shingle roofs. Metal roofs should not be encouraged. The original shape, pitch, and architectural details like dormers, cornices, brackets, dentil moldings and/or trim, chimneys, cupolas, cresting and finials should be maintained. • Paint Colors- Historically accurate paint palettes should be used on properties within the district. No fluorescents or metallics should be used. Landscaping and Lot Maintenance When making decisions on landscaping and lot maintenance, owners should consider: 4  • Fences and Retaining Walls - Historic fences and retaining walls should be preserved. Fencing should be typical of the time period of the home. When new fences, gates and walls are used, they should be compatible in style and architectural character with the home and surrounding areas. Vinyl fencing is discouraged, while wood and iron fencing are encouraged. • Heritage Trees- Carbondale City Code defines Heritage Trees as any trees 18” or more in diameter. These trees should be maintained whenever possible. A permit is required for removal of these trees. • Driveways and Sidewalks- Original brick sidewalks and/or driveways should be maintained. Hardscaping within this district should include period appropriate materials when possible, including brick pavers or concrete sidewalks and driveways rather than asphalt or other more modern materials. Solar Energy Solar panels shall conform to city codes in relation to their location and size. Solar panels that are hidden from the street view are ideal. Integrating solar energy and historic homes should be done tastefully and with as little interruption to the original character of the house as possible. Certificate of Appropriateness Review Process Any alteration, construction or demolition work on property within a designated district that is subject to the design standards for the district in which it is located, shall be issued a certificate of appropriateness by the Preservation Commission prior to the work commencing. The Preservation Commission reviews plans for exterior changes and approves the plans with a Certificate of Appropriateness if they comply with the adopted standards for that property or district. An application that has been denied may be resubmitted with amendments within thirty (30) days for reconsideration by the Preservation Commission at its next regularly scheduled meeting. Economic Hardship Review Process An applicant whose application for a Certificate of Appropriateness has been denied may apply for a Certificate of Economic Hardship within 60 days of denial in accordance with §6.11.5 of Carbondale Revised Code. Staff recognize that residents within the proposed district may view historic district designation as an additional regulation. While it does add an additional layer through the Certificate of Appropriateness Process, the proposed design standards are largely comprised of existing regulations in Title 15 of the Carbondale Revised Code, or the City’s Architectural Preservation Guidelines, which have also been adopted into code. If adopted, the historic district would be created as an overlay district for the neighborhood. Properties within the district would still be subject to the underlying zoning regulations in place today. As noted under Part A., there are longstanding concerns about the number of demolitions in areas near the proposed district. Demolitions have been cited as a barrier to investment and maintenance of homes in the area. One of the most significant benefits of establishing a historic district is that it would provide additional checks and balances for demolitions, giving residents in the district greater peace of mind, and providing more certainty when planning maintenance and renovations of 5 properties in the district. Additional Analysis Consistence with the Comprehensive Plan It is staff’s opinion that the proposed historic district is consistent with the City’s comprehensive plan. As noted under Part A., the future land use within the proposed district is Traditional Neighborhood, defined as “areas extending from Carbondale’s downtown. They are built along a grid street pattern. Individual lot sizes in these areas are typically narrow. Single-story buildings are more common here than in modern neighborhoods. A mix of compact housing, small office/commercial, and civic uses may also exist in these areas along key corridors. These areas are well-connected and provide pedestrian-friendly access to the downtown area.” The intent of the Traditional Neighborhood classification is to maintain the existing neighborhood character, allow residential infill that fits with neighboring homes, and creating new housing options for the community that benefit residents of all income levels. The Historic District supports these outcomes by ensuring new constructions, renovations, and evolution of the neighborhood are accomplished in a context-sensitive manner and considers the scale of the neighborhood and surrounding areas. This also is also identified as a Neighborhood Opportunity in the comprehensive plan which complements the desired outcomes of a Traditional Neighborhood. Additionally, it is staff’s opinion that the proposed historic district aligns with the following guiding principles in the comprehensive plan: 1. Create a stronger sense of place; 2. Provide a variety of housing options; 3. Integrate land use compatibility; and, 4. Celebrate Carbondale’s culture. The formation of a historic district has the potential to create a stronger sense of place through district branding (i.e. signage, lighting, historical plaques, etc.), improved housing stock, and the preservation of unique architectural features. Consistence with the Preservation Plan The proposed district encompasses all or portions of three recommended historic district identified in the City’s Preservation Plan (see Exhibit G – Map of Recommended Historic Districts in Preservation Plan). Additionally, 25 properties within the proposed district have been documented as historic in the City’s Preservation Plan. This should not be construed as meaning there are only 25 historic properties in the proposed district, but that there are 25 that have detailed surveys completed. PART C. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommend approval of PD 27-01, creating a new Northwest Historic District on the Carbondale Register of Historic Places. This recommendation is based on the strong alignment with the City’s comprehensive and preservation plans, along with the number of unique, architecturally 6 significant properties. If recommended for approval and approved by City Council, it would constitute the first historic district created in the City since the creation of the Preservation Commission in 1991.

Goals: Goal 1: Provide a high quality of life and foster a sense of community. Goal 3: Demonstrate fiscal responsibility and transparency while providing high-quality City services. Goal 4: Encourage responsible and progressive economic development/tourism/arts and entertainment. Originating Department: Community Development Background: At the August 18, 2025, Preservation Commission meeting, the Commission voted to create a July 4th Subcommittee, to work with City staff to plan an event celebrating Carbondale's railroad history in conjunction with the broader 250th anniversary of the United States. Commissioners Brown and Young were selected to serve on this subcommittee, and have served as the primary event planners along with the City's Public Relations Officer and Preservation Commission staff liaison and, more recently, the Varsity Center. The group began meeting in the Fall of 2025 to begin planning the event, and has generally met biweekly since. The centerpiece of the event commemorates the arrival of the first train in Carbondale on July 4, 1854, and celebrates the City's role in U.S. history. To celebrate the arrival of the first train, a new play was composed entitled, "Full Steam Ahead", which will make its premiere at the event. The event was originally scheduled to take place on July 4th, but was moved up to June 27th due to scheduling conflicts with performers. Attached for the Commission's reference is the poster of the event and all planned activities. The event will take place from 3:00 pm - 7:00 pm, and begin at the Southern Illinois Multimodal Station before shifting over to the Varsity Center. In addition to three screenings of the play, the event will feature a Nickelodeon of three train- related films. Additional Information: Attachments: 1.
