The city is weighing whether to give the Dr. O.H. and Mrs. Thelma Elliott House at 2207 East 22nd Street, in the Boggy Creek Watershed, an official historic landmark designation. The rezoning would shift the property from family residence (SF-3-NP) to family residence with a historic landmark tag (SF-3-H-NP), recognizing its significance and adding preservation protections. Staff, the Historic Landmark Commission, and the Planning Commission all recommend approving it.
