Page 75: "[T]he [City] Council found that many improvements to real property having a special character or special historic or aesthetic interest or value, and many improvements representing the finest architectural products of distinct periods in the history of Kansas City, have been uprooted. ..It was therefore declared in the ordinance [establishing the 1970 Landmarks Commission] as a matter of public policy that the protection, enhancement, perpetuation and use of improvements of special character or special historic or aesthetic interest or value, is a public necessity, and is required in the interest of the prosperity and welfare of the people." Page 103: "The creation of a historic district zone has been proposed earlier in the section on zoning. This should be coupled with a strengthening of the City's Landmarks Commission ordinance, giving the Commission the power to propose changes of zoning to historic district zoning and a means for delaying demolition of structures on a predetermined list of landmarks in the City. .."
