<br />What is the purpose of the Historic Preservation Ordinance?
<br />
<br />The purpose of the Historic Preservation Ordinance is to give recognition
<br />and consideration to properties and areas that reflect special elements of
<br />the City's historic, architectural, cultural, and aesthetic heritage. The
<br />Ordinance helps protect a part of local history for all citizens to enjoy today
<br />and in future generations.
<br />

<br />
<br />How does a property or properties achieve landmark or historic district
<br />designation?
<br />
<br />a. Exemplifies or reflects special elements of the City's Cultural,
<br />aesthetic, or architectural history; or
<br />b. Identifies with persons or events significant in local, state, or national
<br />history; or
<br />c. Embodies distinctive characteristics of a style, type, period, or method
<br />of construction, or is a valuable example of the use of indigenous
<br />materials or craftsmanship; or
<br />d. Representative of the notable work of a builder, designer, or architect.
<br />
<br />3.
<br />
<br />What is the effect of Historic Landmark or Historic District Designation?
<br />
<br />The Historic Preservation Ordinance has no effect unless the structure is
<br />to be demolished or the exterior altered. A careful review of demolition
<br />permit applications will be made so that historic structures will not be
<br />unnecessarily lost. Approval for projects involving demolition or exterior
<br />alteration will be required from the Planning Commission or City Council,
<br />upon appeal. A decision on any proposed work is based primarily upon
<br />the following criteria: '
<br />
<br />a. In the case of an historic landmark, the proposed work would not
<br />detrimentally affect any exterior architectural feature or;
<br />b. In the case of a property located within a historic district, proposed
<br />work conforms to the prescriptive standards as adopted by the
<br />Planning Commission and does not adversely affect the character of
<br />the district, or
<br />c. In the case of new construction, the exterior will not adversely affect,
<br />and will be compatible with, the external appearance of existing
<br />designations of said site.
<br />
<br />Consideration will be given if substantial hardship results from a denial of
<br />proposed work.
