Article 5 — Advisory Review—Potential Historic Resources

Any alteration to be conducted at the site of a potential historic resource or district may be referred by staff to the Commission prior to commencing any such work when staff determines that such review will assist the property owner in maintaining the significance and/or architectural integrity of the resource and to address issues of appropriateness and designation. Certain alterations, listed below, are excluded:

• (a) Repairing or replacing deteriorated materials with applications or use of exterior materials of the same kind, type, and texture already in use on the resource and/or consistent with the style or period for re-roofing, windows, siding material, chimneys and fireplaces;

• (b) Accessory structures;

• (c) Fencing; and/or

(d) Additions or deletions of awnings, shutters, canopies and similar incidental appurtenances. (§ 16, Ord. 2933 c.s., eff. June 3, 2004, and Ord. 3305-25 c.s., eff. November 13, 2025)

In the course of its review, the Commission shall assist and guide the property owner(s) of potential historic resources and districts with regard to proposed alterations on an advisory basis with the intention of finding solutions and directing the owner toward designation and/ or appropriate changes that safeguard the resource. To facilitate the process, staff or the Commission may refer the matter to the Minor Alterations Subcommittee. (§ 16, Ord. 2933 c.s., eff. June 3, 2004)
