Certificate of Appropriateness Application

Design Guidelines Booklet
While the focus of this manual is primarily oriented to the City’s locally designated historic districts and other designated areas in which design review is mandatory, it also is targeted to any owner of an historic property or older home who may be contemplating exterior work and seeks guidance on historically appropriate treatments, regardless of whether or not such treatments are legislated. Photographic representations of historic treatments found in the manual have been taken from buildings found throughout the City.
