I was reading it earlier, because I'd like to get some kind of confirmation on the point I'd raised-- specifically, would all houses be subject to PHC, or just the historicaly-significant ones? The FAQ addresses this point somewhat directly in this section: "Are the restrictions different for different (types of) buildings? Would the CVS on Locust be subject to the same restrictions as a twin on Pine St.? All buildings must follow the same review process for proposed work. In a district, each property is assigned a classification: significant, contributing and non-contributing. "Significant" buildings are outstanding properties in their own right, either architecturally or culturally. "Contributing" buildings constitute the substantial part of the district. These buildings, while not individually outstanding, contribute to the overall historic fabric and significance of the district. "Non-contributing" buildings are those that do not contribute to the significance of the district, either because they have lost their integrity over time or have been built after the district's period of significance. Although all buildings must follow the same review process, the Commission tends to be more lenient in reviewing changes for "non-contributing" buildings." Now, I have to admit, this is more information than the PHC guy gave me. He hadn't mentioned the three different classifications of buildings; he'd said that buildings built "outside of the period of significance" wouldn't be subject to the PHC. Until I visit the PHC, I have to admit that this FAQ is probably on-target. The text above says all buiildings must pass through the same review process , and that the PHC's "more lenient" on non-contributing buildings. I ought to check as to just _how_ lenient. ---- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to the list named "UnivCity."
