Historic Preservation

Design Guidelines

Here you will find Design Guidelines that suggest various appropriate ways to address the restoration or rehabilitation of older/historic structures. In addition, the guidelines may raise awareness of certain design and contextual issues that could be considered in proposals for new development.

These guidelines are not intended as a rigid set of rules. However, they do establish a general framework for the City's evaluation of applications involving historic preservation issues. Please select from the guideline documents listed below.
