About the 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.
- Reviewing applications for individual landmark and historic district designation;
- Reviewing Landmark Alteration Certificate (LAC) applications;
- Reviewing Demolition Permit applications for non-designated buildings over 50 years old;
- Recognizing properties as Structures of Merit.
The Landmarks Board Mission is to protect, enhance, and perpetuate buildings, sites, and areas of the city reminiscent of past eras, events, and persons important in local, state or national history or provide significant examples of architectural styles of the past, and also to develop and maintain appropriate settings and environments for such buildings, sites, and areas to enhance property values, stabilize neighborhoods, promote tourist trade and interest, and foster knowledge of the city's living heritage.
