The Historic Preservation Commission meets the 2nd Thursday of each month at 9:00 a.m.

Their responsibilities include establishing local landmarks, like Brick Street, West Park, the Train Depot, and Hartman House. The commission’s other powers and duties include:

  • Receiving and reviewing all proposed Historic Preservation Overlay Districts
  • Adopting and amending the “book of standards” for each overlay district, when requested
  • Issuing all Certifications of an Appropriateness
  • Informing the zoning administrator of all violations of Section 11.9 of the Unified Zoning and Subdivision Control Ordinance

It is the intention of the City through this Commission to preserve and protect historic and architecturally significant buildings, structures, sites, monuments, streetscapes, and neighborhoods that impact a distinct aesthetic quality to the City and serve as a visible reminder of its historic heritage.
