Specific Objections(Required)

It is not rational or justified to landmark the entire property, because the entire property does not meet the City’s own criteria for landmarking.

Landmarking will prevent or delay a sale and redevelopment, which does not make sense for the neighborhood or City.

Landmarking will prevent or delay a sale and redevelopment, which directly hurts the well-being of St. Paul Parish.

The landmarking effort is already interfering with the ability of St. Paul Parish to practice our religion because of the direct costs to the Parish.

Various landmarking proponents claim to represent “the community” but have been interfering with worship at St. Paul Church on a regular basis and for years.

Most or many of the landmarking proponents claim to represent “the community” but are not residents of our neighborhood.

Many of the landmarking proponents want the property to be restored to its prior use. Landmarking will not cause that to happen.

Many of the proponents are pushing landmark status to attack St. Paul Parish and the Catholic Archdiocese, not because landmark status is warranted.

Landmarking this single site after the City did not landmark the Pilsen District would be inconsistent and unfair.
