3. The MTP Designated Building Site
The City enacted Ordinance No. 159802 on April 30, 1985.
Ordinance No. 159802 defines a “designated building site” as an
area of real property, located within the CBD and/or BH Plan
area, which consists of parcels that are contiguous or separated
only by public streets or rights of way, and which is designated
by the City Council to implement the preservation of a City-owned
and operated historic structure. This ordinance permitted parts
of the designated building site to be owned by different parties,
and it required an application for such designated building site
to be filed with the City Planning Commission.
CRA and MTP filed the MTP Designated Building Site
Application with the City Planning Commission. In the
application, they requested that the five Library Square parcels
be designated as a building site under Ordinance No. 159802. The
application described the development that would be permitted on

successors and a related entity against the four other Library
Square parcels are discussed below pp. 12-13.
