Architectural Resource Surveys
Architectural Resource Surveys primarily act as a planning tool to provide adequate data to make informed decisions, but most importantly, it documents the City’s history and contributes important data into a repository of historical information. Additionally, as a Certified Local Government, there is a commitment by the City to protect its historic resources and provide continuous improvement to historic preservation efforts, including the identification of historic properties within the jurisdiction. Architectural Resource Surveys do not designate property as a historic resource, there are processes and procedures that must be followed to designate a property as a historic landmark, or a group of buildings as a historic district.
