Proposed Motel Historic District and Property Owner Opposition
Boulder City
Summary
Motel owners along Nevada Way strongly object to being designated as a historic district due to fears of heavy government regulation, restrictions on business expansion, and the Certificate of Appropriateness process. While some commissioners wanted to hold a workshop to bridge the gap, others argued the city should respect the owners' wishes and drop the proposal.
