The Landmarks Commission (LC) was formed in 1977 after the Landmarks and Urban Conservation Ordinance was adopted by the City Council. This Ordinance was incorporated into the Integrated Development Ordinance when it was adopted by City Council in 2017.
The duties of the Landmarks Commission include:
- Conduct studies and programs designed to identify and evaluate structures and areas worthy of conservation.
- Review the status of structures and zones already designated.
- Recommend to the Mayor and the City Council landmarks to be designated by the Council.
- Conduct public hearings on applications for historic protection overlay zones.
- Prepare and adopt specific development guidelines for any designated landmark or historic protection overlay zone.
- Make decisions on applications for Certificates of Appropriateness for alteration, new construction or demolition.
- Disseminate information to the public concerning historic preservation and character protection
- Seek input form groups and individuals concerning historic preservation and character protection
- Advise the Mayor, Council, and the Environmental Planning Commission on any proposed public improvements that would impact the exterior appearance of landmarks or significant structures in historic protection overlay zones
