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.

Please note: Current Old Sixth Ward Design Guidelines are in effect for all COA applications until the changes/amendments have been approved by HAHC.
