Historic District Review Commission
Because the City is committed to maintaining its unique historic character, properties within the historic districts are subject to special historic preservation zoning, which means that any exterior alterations to the property must be approved by the Historic District Review Commission (HDRC) before the work begins.
The HDRC is a 9-member citizen panel, appointed by the Mayor and approved by the City Council. The HDRC monitors the historic districts and reviews applications for certificates of appropriateness on all exterior alterations, new construction, and demolition.
The HDRC meets on the first and third Tuesdays of each month at 5:30 p.m. at City Hall in Council Chambers, when there are applications to consider. Applications for a certificate of appropriateness must be submitted no later than 10 business days prior to the HDRC meeting.
