  • Historic Preservation Policy and Regime Politics in Atlanta
    Journal of Urban Affairs, 2001
    Co-Authors: Harvey K. Newman
    Abstract:

    Stone and others described Historic Preservation policy in Atlanta as a failure because of the inability of Preservation advocates to participate effectively in the governing regime. Yet in 1989, Mayor Andrew Young approved a comprehensive new Preservation ordinance that reflected a shift in priorities by the city’s business and political leaders to recognize the importance of preserving and reusing older buildings. The enactment of this new Preservation-based redevelopment policy was the result of a process of social learning by Atlanta’s regime participants. This research examines the development of the new Historic Preservation policy, its effects on neighborhoods and commercial areas, and its connections to regime theory. Rather than being a failure, Historic Preservation policy in Atlanta succeeded in balancing the interests of developers, property owners, and Preservation advocates.

  • Improving Tax Incentives for Historic Preservation
    Texas Law Review, 2012
    Co-Authors: David J. Kohtz
    Abstract:

    Phrases like "a scam for the ages" are not generally associated with Historic Preservation laws.1 In Austin, Texas, however, heated language is often used when referring to the city's Preservation program.2 Austin's program permanently exempts Historic properties from most local taxes at a cost of $4.2 million per year.3 Several citizens felt this cost produced little public benefit and sued to enjoin the city from exempting additional properties.4 Austin is not the only city where Historic Preservation laws have become controversial.5 Historic Preservation is increasingly seen as a subsidy for wealthy homeowners provided at taxpayer expense.6 Other taxpayers must pay higher taxes to replace the lost revenue, creating an inequitable tax burden.7 This burden often appears to have no corresponding benefit justifying the incentives.8 The perceived unfairness can undermine Historic Preservation ordinances and lead to calls for their repeal.9 This Note examines the justifications for Historic Preservation tax incentives and concludes that public access to the properties is essential to effective incentive programs. Next, it critically reviews public-access provisions in selected statutes, focusing on access to private residences. The programs are grouped into three categories: (1) physical access, (2) visual access, and (3) virtual access. Physical access allows people to enter Historic properties, visual access allows people to view properties without entering them, and virtual access allows people to learn about Historic properties via the Internet. While there is no panacea, policy makers should condition tax incentives on some form of public access to efficiently produce the public benefits that justify the incentives. I. The History and Justifications for Historic Preservation Tax Incentives A. The History of the Preservation Movement and the Rise of Tax Incentives Tax incentives for Historic Preservation are a relatively recent phenomenon in the United States.10 For most of the nation's history, the government neglected Historic Preservation.11 In the nineteenth century, the government refused to save one of the nation's greatest Historic treasures- George Washington's Mount Vernon plantation.12 Neither the United States Congress nor the Virginia Assembly were willing to purchase the property after it fell into disrepair, and only private efforts rescued the plantation.13 The federal government did attempt to prevent the development of Civil War battlefields, but even these minimal efforts were criticized as improper.14 Historic Preservation was not clearly within the power of the government until the Supreme Court's 1896 United States v. Gettysburg Electric Railway15 decision allowed the government to condemn land for Historic Preservation.16 While private efforts successfully saved some individual buildings, they were generally an ineffective Preservation tool.17 Local governments began to fill this void in the 1930s, when Charleston, New Orleans, and San Antonio enacted the first Preservation ordinances.18 These efforts were motivated by a desire to prevent the destruction of Historic tourist attractions, which were often a key source of revenue.19 The ordinances were land-use controls that placed requirements on property owners without providing tax incentives.20 The tax-incentive movement's catalyst was the publication of With Heritage So Rich, a report about the dire state of America's Historic buildings.21 The report lauded the virtues of restoring Historic buildings for new uses rather than "lifeless embalmment" as museums.22 To incentivize Preservation, the report recommended that Congress create tax deductions for the rehabilitation of Historic buildings and the donation of easements that preserve a building's facade.23 Congress adopted both incentives in the Tax Reform Act of 1976.24 Two years later, the Supreme Court's Penn Central Transportation Co. v. New York City25 decision firmly established that Historic Preservation was a valid purpose for land-use controls. …

  • Making Historic Preservation Sustainable
    Journal of the American Planning Association, 2016
    Co-Authors: Erica Avrami
    Abstract:

    Problem, research strategy, and findings: Historic Preservation has the potential to serve as a constructive agent of change within the built environment and to contribute to goals of environmental, economic, and social sustainability. However, tensions between sustainability goals and Preservation policy and practice are impeding opportunities to forge common ground and a shared agenda. I review the existing literature related to the Preservation–-sustainability nexus and critically analyze how Preservation policies and practices conflict with or support key sustainability goals of energy consumption reduction, alternative energy production, urban densification, economic development, inclusion, diversity and participation, and intergenerational equity. Key findings of this research include the need to resolve tensions between sustainability and Historic Preservation practice through research and data, evolving Preservation policies, and aligning Historic Preservation with the goals of environmental, econ...
