Historic Districts: 15 Frequently Asked Questions, Part 5
Q. How do I go about getting a Certificate of Appropriateness?
A. You can get an application for a Certificate of Appropriateness (COA) from the Zoning Enforcement Officer in the City Planning Department. If your application is filed in complete form at least fifteen (15) days before the regularly scheduled monthly meeting of the Historic Preservation Commission, the Commission will review your application at that meeting; applications submitted later will be reviewed at the following monthly meeting. In accordance with local Design Guidelines, at its meeting the Commission may grant approval to issue a Certificate of Appropriateness for an application, decide to study the matter further, perhaps ask for further information, or deny issuance of a COA. A Certificate of Appropriateness does not replace the need
for any other required City permits.

May is National Preservation month
Sponsored by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, the theme this year is "Making Preservation Work!" Historic Preservation needs to be a community effort in order to be successful.
There are several things every person can do to help preserve their community. Getting out of your car for a walk allows you to appreciate the buildings and parks where you live. Tour the historic districts in your town instead of driving past. Attend a local historic preservation commission meeting or even become a volunteer for the commission. Visit the library and read about the local history or even research the history of your own neighborhood.
Without local support Historic Preservation efforts would be lost along with the character of the community. It is important to celebrate the role of history in our lives and the contributions made by dedicated individuals in helping to preserve all aspects of the heritage that has shaped our towns.
