"Making Them Work for Your Community"


Book Description

This thesis is a guide model for creating a local historic preservation ordinance. The primary purpose of the thesis is to create an all-purpose guide model that considers several key elements of ordinance laws, including purpose, goal, types of resources to be protected, authority, composition of the preservation guidelines commission, procedure and criteria for the designation of historical resources, economic effect, and historic values. The guide model provided can be modified to fit any specific community codes. The secondary purpose of the thesis is to suggest elements to add for a heritage preservation ordinance to guide jurisdictions on deciding what elements are important for their communities.
