The program goal is preservation of historic and architecturally-significant buildings and locations. The Cultural Heritage Committee has seven members appointed by the City Council.

 

Administrative Hearing Officer

The Community Development Director or his designee acts as a Hearing Officer to decide certain applications as specified in the Zoning Regulations. On the first and third Friday of each month, the Hearing Officer holds a public meeting to consider a variety of permit applications. The applications are for variances and exceptions from zoning standards and for uses which need to be reviewed before they can be established.

 

These committees are considered permanent and may meet regularly or only when projects or proposals necessitate. Applications for all advisory bodies are accepted year-round.
