Session Details

Join RDG’s Charlie Cowell, Scotney Fenton and Michelle Cunliffe as they present an introduction to historic guidelines.

Historic design guidelines ensure that the quality and integrity of neighborhoods and downtown districts are not lost. Whether for residential neighborhoods or commercial districts, historic design guidelines can be a useful tool for educating residents or can be used as a "how-to" guide for historic preservation commissions. Further action includes these guidelines in the regulatory standards for city staff and planning commissions. 

Learn how your historic areas can benefit from creating a personalized set of guidelines during this introductory session on historic guidelines.
