EFFECTIVE MAY 30, 2022 19 chapter 1 • Mechanical equipment installation and screening; • Minor alterations to non-historic components on rear or obscured facades of historic or non-historic structures that enhance the compatibility with the context of the individual historic district (examples include rear doors, non-historic window replacement, or similar, but do not include any footprint or roofline alterations). Design Review Committee Applicants are encouraged to participate in a review by the Design Review Committee (DRC) prior to submitting a formal application for a COA or Preliminary HZC Recommendation. The DRC is composed of members of the HZC. The DRC is available to help guide applicants through the approval process and answers questions about proposals in relation to the Guidelines. This collaborative review with the applicant, committee members, and staff helps to streamline the overall design review process by resolving most design issues prior to formal review by the HZC. The DRC provides informal feedback that is non-binding on the DRC, the HZC, and the applicant. While participation is voluntary and encouraged for any interested applicants, those representing complex proposals such as new construction, additions, or demolitions are especially encouraged to attend the DRC prior to submitting an application for HZC review and approval. Preliminary HZC Recommendations The HZC provides a preliminary recommendation at an early stage in the review process for development plans, preliminary plats, and final plats that create new lots. These recommendations are then provided to the FMPC and BOMA, as applicable. The HZC reviews the proposals in light of the Guidelines for consistency with the historic district and potential impact to historic resources within the district. Considerations include building locations, the rhythm of buildings along streetscapes, lot widths and sizes, and setbacks, as well as building types, height, massing, and scale. Locations of proposed parking, drive aisles, and landscape and hardscape features are also reviewed. Applicants are encouraged to submit their proposals for DRC review prior to HZC consideration.
