The Historic or Design Review Board (HDRB) was established by Ordinance 1206 of the Town Code to protect and preserve historic or archaeological sites in the town, enforce architectural proffers in Planned Residential and Industrial Zoning Districts, and provide recommendations to request made by Town Council or the Planning Commission.
Review boards are a resource to the public during the renovation and alteration of historic structures. When local historic districts are created, design guidelines are developed for each district and will be used by the Board to approve major construction and rehabilitation within that district. HDRB may provide recommendations to the applicant to encourage preservation or construction practices, which may enhance the historic nature of the building or neighborhood. HDRB may then issue a letter of approval based on the guidelines established for the historic district.
Meetings are the second and fourth Monday of the month at 4:30 p.m.
For more information, call the Planning and Building Department (540) 961-1126.
