About the Landmarks Board

The Landmarks Board comprises five volunteer members appointed by City Council. Each member serves a five-year term. Two members must be architecture or urban planning professionals and three members are selected to represent the community at large. Additionally, a member of the Planning Board is appointed to serve as liaison between LB and Planning Board in a non-voting capacity. The board fulfills four major roles and has the authority to make rules and regulations to interpret the ordinance.

1. Reviewing applications for individual landmark and historic district designation;
2. Reviewing Landmark Alteration Certificate (LAC) applications;
3. Reviewing Demolition Permit applications for non-designated buildings over 50 years old; 
4. Recognizing properties as Structures of Merit. 

Landmarks Board Meeting Dates

The Landmarks Board  generally  meets on the first Wednesday of each month at 6 p.m. in the City Council Chambers, 1777 Broadway. Meeting dates, times and locations are subject to change. See the Next Landmarks Board Meeting Agenda & Packet link on the right for information on the monthly meetings.

Submitting an application prior to the deadline does not guarantee a place on the agenda at the next Landmarks Board meeting. Please note that the planning office at 1739 Broadway, 3rd Floor stops taking applications at 3 p.m.

Please note that the Planning & Development Services Center at 1739 Broadway is currently closed to the public. During this time, Landmark Alteration Certificate, Individual Landmark Designation, Historic Preservation Demolition Review and State Income Tax Credit applications must be submitted electronically.  The Historic Preservation team is continuing to provide services remotely as best we can, and we appreciate your understanding and patience. Please note that there is a 5 - 7 working day lag time between submitting applications to Planning & Development Services and Historic Preservation staff receiving them. 

Agendas are finalized and posted on the website 10 days prior to meeting dates. Minutes are generally available 1 month after the meeting.
