Local Historic District Design Guidelines

Local Historic District Design Guidelines are essential for all local historic district commissions. Through text and images, design review guidelines set forth the types of projects a commission is likely to approve and the types of projects a commission is likely to deny. For commission members, design guidelines greatly aid the commission through their decision-making process.  For architects, developers, contractors, business owners and homeowners, design guidelines clearly explain the significance of the architectural resources and help make the application process far less complicated.  Whether your local historic district is large or small, design guidelines are a vital part of administering your local historic district.
