Overview

The Historic Preservation Board (HPB) is a five-member advisory body that is appointed by the City Council to recommend measures to implement historic preservation; administer the applicable provisions of Chapter 21.32, (Historic Preservation Regulations); perform other advisory functions as delegated; and review new policies affecting historical resources in the community. As part of these duties, the HPB reviews applications affecting a historic resource (e.g., additions and alterations) and makes a recommendation to the decision making body (e.g., Community Development Director, Planning Commission, or City Council) on whether the application should be approved, approved with recommended conditions, or denied. A recommendation to deny would generally only be made when an applicant does not agree to the recommended conditions of approval.
