A local government may wish to protect and preserve the physical characteristics of historic buildings in its community. Typically associated with local regulatory action, design guidelines provide information and directions on the treatment of historic properties to prevent the loss of historic fabric within designated historic districts. Development and approval of design guidelines requires extensive coordination efforts with local governing bodies, property owners, and public interest groups.
P2P Environmental provides technical drafting of design guidelines and management of public involvement and input. The resulting document captures the wishes of the community for their built heritage and includes narrative directives and pictorial examples for the appropriate treatment of historic resources.
