As we build our economy and engage with our neighbors, we respect our diversity and acknowledge its strength. Our neighborhoods are communities of change. Through their character, they demonstrate how we have evolved over time, how we are moving forward, and how each layer of history enriches our sense of who we are. As we grow and adapt, we value sense of place and work to embrace the qualities of our past with those of our future.
We uphold guidelines to protect the architectural heritage of these storied neighborhoods, ensuring their unique character is maintained. Our team supports historic preservation by working closely with the Historical Architecture Review Board (HARB) when exterior building alterations are proposed within a Historic District.
A Pre-Application Meeting provides you with the opportunity to discuss your proposed project with staff prior to the initial submittal of your application.

Property owners should contact the Historic Office with questions or to schedule a Pre-Application Meeting.
