Explanation:
The mission of the Historic Preservation Board is to protect and preserve properties and areas of historical, architectural and archeological merit; to encourage and promote restoration, preservation, rehabilitation and revitalization of Historic Sites and Districts by providing technical assistance, investment incentives, and facilitating the development review process; to combat urban blight, promote tourism, foster civic pride, and maintain physical evidence of the City's heritage; and to promote excellence in urban design by assuring the compatibility of restored, rehabilitated, or replaced structures within Historic Districts. The Board’s purpose is to make recommendations and decisions to better position the City for appropriate growth through a public hearing process; which promotes community input. One of the functions of the Board is to maintain the “Certified Local Government” status from the Florida Department of State Bureau of Historic Preservation, which assists Planning officials in preserving historic and cultural resources and helps to create public awareness of historic preservation. Duties of the Historic Preservation Board include review and consideration of projects on Historic Sites, or within Historic Districts, or Historic Multiple Property Resource Listing Districts and requiring Variances, Certificates of Appropriateness for Demolition or Design, and Site Plan, pursuant to Article 5 of the Zoning and Land Development Regulations. The Board also considers the designation of new historic sites and districts; and any amendments applicable to existing historic sites and districts. To aid the Board, the City also adopted the National Registry Guidelines for Building, Additions, and Safety (The Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for Rehabilitation and Guidelines of Rehabilitating Historic Buildings, U.S. Department of Interior National Park Service); and the City of Hollywood’s Design Guidelines for Historic Properties and Districts.
