Designation

Frequently Asked Questions

Historic Preservation Ordinance
(Requires Adobe Acrobat Reader)

Would an owner be forced to restore his property if it is designated?

No. The Historic and Environmental Preservation Board only reviews changes proposed by the owner of the property. The Board could require an owner to modify plans he or she has proposed to meet standards and guidelines. But an owner who is not proposing any changes could not be required to make any.
