Historic Resources Commission The Historic Resources Commission (HRC) was created in 1988, replacing the Historic Sites Commission and Capitol Hill Architectural Review Commission. Historic designation by the HRC Ordinance is intended to preserve and protect places, structures, works of art, monuments, and other ornaments of historic or cultural significance to the City. The City has fifteen National Register Historic Districts that contain over 4,000 structures.
The HRC reviews all proposed alterations or additions to any structure or landmark that falls within, or adjacent to, a Historic District. Review by the HRC is also required for demolition of any designated structure, and for new construction, in or adjacent to the City's Historic Districts. 2012 Meeting Dates
