Historic Landmarks and Historic Districts
The Landmarks Commission reviews the design of proposed projects and approves, approves with conditions, or denies building permits to:
- repair, alter, or add to the exterior of an existing structure
- construct a new structure
- demolish an existing structure
For discretionary permits (ex: use permits), where there is another decision maker, such as the Board of Zoning Adjustments, the Landmarks Commission’s actions are advisory to the applicable decision maker.
Other Potential Historic Resources – Not Historic Landmarks or in Historic Districts
The Landmarks Commission reviews the design of proposed projects requiring discretionary permits (ex: Use Permits) on referral from the Project Review Planner and makes recommendations to the applicable decision-making body whether to approve, approve with conditions, or deny building permits to:
- repair, alter, or add to the exterior of an existing structure
- construct a new structure
- demolish an existing structure
In such cases, the Landmarks Commission may also recommend rezoning to the Historic District.
