The city wants to give the Hill-Thompson House at 1906 Maple Avenue official historic landmark status, adding an "H" to its existing zoning in the Boggy Creek Watershed. That landmark designation comes with extra protections and review for any future changes to the property, and it's backed by both the Historic Landmark Commission and the Planning Commission. Council will hold a public hearing before voting on the rezoning.
