Ben Leech highlighted the significance of city landmark designations in protecting buildings from significant changes or demolition, focusing on the preservation of historical architecture.
San Jose lags behind other cities in the number of historic landmarks and districts, with only six city landmark districts, emphasizing the need for more active use of preservation tools.
Councilmember Dev Davis explained that the delay in the historic designation process is due to document requirements and staffing shortages, acknowledging the time-consuming nature of ensuring neighborhood eligibility.
