STAFF REPORT <br />PROPOSED CUSHING STREET LOCAL HISTORIC DISTRICT: <br />CRITERIA FOR DESIGNATION AND HISTORIC SIGNIFICANCE <br />Historic Preservation Commission <br />of <br />South Bend 8z St. Joseph County <br />The Historic Preservation Commission held first reading of a proposal to designate this <br />neighborhood as a Local Historic Preservation District at its regular meeting of February <br />16, 1999. The area proposed was bounded by Portage Avenue to the North, Lindsey <br />Street to the South, including all of the properties located on the east side and west side of <br />Cushing Street. It also included all the properties on the west side of Portage Avenue <br />between Cushing and Van Buren, properties along the north and south side of Van Buren, <br />Pierce, and the north side of Lindsey Street. <br />The Historic Preservation Commission subsequently held a second reading, (public <br />hearing), to discuss the Cushing Street proposed local historic district at its regular meeting <br />of March 16, 1999. During this meeting the Commission decided to enlarge the <br />proposed district to include most of Cushing Streets 500 and 600 block. The Commission <br />moved to hold a second public hearing on April 19, 1999 to discuss the expansion. <br />The total proposed area is bounded by Portage Avenue to the North and by an east/west <br />alley just north of Lincolnway West to the south. The proposed district also includes all <br />properties on the east and west side of Cushing, the properties on the west side of Portage <br />Avenue between Cushing and Van Buren, as well as properties located on the North and <br />South side of Van Buren and Lindsey Street. The district is bounded by the north /south <br />alley's between Cushing and Cottage Grove and Cushing and Scott Streets. The new <br />proposed district contains 70 primary structures consisting of mostly single family or <br />duplex residential structures, a church and a hand full of commercial structures. There are <br />also numerous ancillary structures including garages, sheds and other buildings. <br />The HPC staff has been analyzing the proposal according to the responsibilities mandated <br />by ordinance that state that the "designation of ...Historic Preservation Districts" should be <br />"on the basis of historical and cultural significance, educational value and suitability for <br />preservation. [I ] In addition, HPC policy adds a fourth criteria — evaluation with respect <br />to an area's "portrayal of the environment of a group of people in an historical era." [2] <br />This analysis has also included an update of the numerical count of the Indiana Historic <br />Sites and Structures Survey, specifically assessing the number of remaining contributing and <br />noncontributing structures in the area. Research relevant to the historical development of <br />the area has also been conducted.[3] <br />
