PURPOSE AND WORK
In 1986, the City Council established Historic Preservation Overlay zoning to protect, enhance and perpetuate historic structures or districts of special historic value. At the same time, the City established the Landmarks and Historic Preservation Commission (LHPC) to review property owners' proposals for exterior changes to historic properties and sites.
The LHPC has the authority to make quasi-judicial decisions regarding the appropriateness of proposed new construction and remodels that would change the appearance of historic structures or districts.
The LHPC shall conduct its meetings in accordance with Roberts Rules of Order unless other rules are adopted by the Commission.
HOME IMPROVEMENTS REQUIRING HISTORIC REVIEW
Most exterior changes to structures in historic districts must undergo review before they occur. These include:
Call Planning Staff at 541-774-2380 for information on formal reviews.
The Landmarks and Historic Preservation Commission acts on the authority provided by Medford Municipal Code Sections 10.110(L) through (P).
