NEW BUSINESS The Board inquired about the process of how to recommend changes to the Ordinance related to demolition, especially for dilapidated structures that have not been identified as historic in the GA’s Historic Resources survey or Milton’s historic list, that those types of structures can proceed with the permitting process without requiring them to go to DRB for review. Staff responded that for any changes related to the Ordinance, a text amendment process is required. This process will require public meetings that include the Planning Commission and City Council. Staff recommends that DRB meet with the Community Development Director as the first step of the process. 9. OLD BUSINESS A. None 10.
