SANFORD
HISTORIC PRESERVATION COMMISSION
Formed in 1997, the Sanford Historic Preservation Commission
(HPC) serves the public both as a steward for historic
properties and as a facilitator to people fortunate
enough to own such properties. It provides assistance
to owners and tenants, helps them plan the alterations
that they are considering for their properties, and
guides owners through the application process necessary
to implement those changes. The HPC consists of seven
members appointed by City Council for overlapping three-year
terms. Included within its powers and responsibilities
are the following: recommending to City Council the
designation of historic landmarks and districts; granting
requests for proposed changes to historic landmarks
and properties situated within historic districts; and
conducting educational programs with respect to historic
properties.
The HPC is given its authority by City Council under
the Unified Development Ordinance in Article
2, Section 2.6. The City Council gives
the HPC the ability to grant requests for proposed changes
within locally designated historic districts and local
historic landmarks under the Unified Development Ordinance
in Article
4, Section 4.12.
