Designation

Frequently Asked Questions

Historic Preservation Ordinance
(Requires Adobe Acrobat Reader)

Are the design standards and guidelines concerning a property retroactive?

No. A property is designated as is, including features that are not in compliance with the new standards. It is much the same as a grandfather clause: everything can remain as long as it was permitted and can be maintained.
