Project Scope
This project aims to update the design guidelines for the Old Sixth Ward Historic District that are currently in place. The approach is to retain the basic content of design guidelines with these improvements:
reformat and reorganize the content to provide a more user-friendly document
update or remove material that was inaccurate
add clarity to the design guidelines by providing intent statements and some additional guidance
include and expand on design guidelines related to historic features to clarify best practices in historic preservation
Most of the material in the updated draft will be familiar to the user, but it may appear in a different location.
Old Sixth Ward Historic District Design Guidelines Workshop
Your participation is important to us. This online activity enables you to review the draft of the design guidelines for Old Sixth Ward Historic District and respond to specific questions. Your feedback will be used to refine the draft.
About the modules:
The presentation and associated questions are provided in four modules. This allows you to move through the material at your own pace and allows you to review all of the document or focus on a part of the document that interests you. Please be aware:
Each of the four modules includes a presentation to watch and a series of questions. It will take approximately 15 to 20 minutes to complete each module.
You may close your browser after completing a module and your responses will be saved once you click the "Save and Continue" button at the bottom of the page. You will not be able to change your answers once you click on the "Save and Continue" button.
Each module must be completed in one sitting; otherwise your responses to the questions in that module page will not be saved.
If you wish to complete a different module later, you may return to the workshop using the same link and you will be taken to the place where you left off.
The workshop can be completed only once from a single device (computer, phone, tablet, pad, etc.) Therefore if there are other people in your household wishing to complete the workshop, they must utilize different devices.
