Virtual Presentation and Discussion: Proposed City Code Amendments for Historic Preservation

The Office of Historic Preservation (OHP) is proposing amendments to the City Code regarding the Certificate of Appropriateness request process for structures located in City of Dallas Landmark districts.

The proposed amendments aim to:

•        Make the Certificate of Appropriateness design review process more efficient

•        Allow the OHP to contribute to a citywide priority to expedite permitting

•        Contribute to boosting economic development arising from COVID-19

•        Free-up staff time to address critical preservation issues

•        Afford an opportunity to balance the historic preservation program

As part of the amendment process, OHP will be holding a series of meetings with various stakeholders around the city with a goal to have the Landmark Commission vote on the amendments at their December 7 meeting. The virtual meeting on the 21^st will be specifically for Heritage Oak Cliff and include a presentation on the proposed amendments by Murray Miller, the director of the OHP. After the presentation there will be a chance to ask questions and give feedback on the proposed amendments.
