Historic
Preservation Ordinance
Historic preservation is declared to be a public purpose. The
purpose of this ordinance is to safeguard the heritage of the city
by preserving districts which reflects elements of the city's
history, architecture, archaeology, engineering, or culture; to
stabilize and improve property values in such district; to foster
civic beauty and pride; to strengthen the local economy; to promote
the use of the historic district for the education, pleasure and
welfare of the citizens of the city and the state; and to encourage
new buildings and development which will be harmonious with the
existing historic buildings and neighborhoods but will not
necessarily be of the same architectural style, the purpose being to
develop the historic district as a vital living area in which each
succeeding generation may build with the quality and sensitivity of
past generations.
The Historic Preservation Ordinance is found in Chapter 42 of the
Code of Ordinances.
