Historic District Overlay Zone

City Council has charged the Historic Preservation Commission (HPC) to move forward on an Historic Zoning Overlay. With this charge, HPC decided to facilitate pubic meetings with residents of Historic Neighborhoods to review the preliminary draft of the South of the River Historic Districts Overlay Zone, University Area, Southside, and McCormick Historic Districts. The process for the Historic District Overlay Zone document will include:

• Review by the HPC with a public hearing
• Review by the Plat, Annexation and Zoning (PAZ) Committee
• A public hearing and decision by the City Council.
