Purpose
Beginning January 1, 2015, the powers, duties, qualifications, memberships, and procedures of the Historic Preservation Review Commission (HPRC) were consolidated with the Plan Commission. As a result, the Plan Commission now stewards the Village’s historic preservation policies, goals, and objectives and oversees all projects related to the Old Orland Historic District, its contributing structures and landmark properties.
The “Historic Preservation Plan Commission Handbook” was prepared by the Development Services Department to assist Commissioners with reviewing the appropriate repair, rehabilitation, and new construction of properties within the Old Orland District and designated historic landmarks. The manual provides an overview of the Village’s historic preservation program, Certificate of Appropriateness review process, ordinances, and code requirements. The information provided will help guide sensible and compatible changes within the Old Orland area to support future economic, educational, and cultural vitality.
An additional training manual, the “Historic Preservation Resident Handbook,” was also created to assist property owners, residents, business owners, architects, and developers in planning the appropriate repair, rehabilitation, and new construction of designated historic properties. Together, both of these handbooks will help guide sensible and compatible changes within the Old Orland area and to landmarks to support future economic, educational, and cultural vitality. A copy of each handbook is available for review on the Village’s website.
Please review the handbook prior to the next scheduled Plan Commission meeting, which will address any questions or comments about the development review process, historic preservation policies, and programs.
