 The
Belleville Historic Preservation Commission is responsible for
administering the provisions of the Historic District Ordinance.
One of its most important features is monitoring and administering the
requirement to obtain an approved Design Review Request (DRR) from the
Commission before any changes are made to the exterior of a property.
An approved DRR is also needed before a building permit can be issued.
The DRR form shall be submitted to the Building and Zoning Department.
The basis for this review is contained in the following guidelines.
When contemplating changes to your building or its surroundings, please
contact us and feel free to request our |
advice and assistance. Design decisions are an important factor in
maintaining an historic and architecturally significant area. The
advice of the Commission is free of charge.The success of Historic
Districts depends upon maintaining a good working relationship between
you, the property owner and the Historic Preservation Commission.
As with all City commissions, volunteer members are residents of the
City of Belleville and extremely interested in Belleville's economic and
social welfare. Please contact us if you are interested in being
your neighborhood representative.
The Commission feels historic |
districting is the most important and effective neighborhood
conversation program available to century-old cities. We are
greatly encouraged by the positive support shown by many of the property
owners and look forward to meeting and working with all of you. If
you are interested in knowing more about neighborhood conversation and
the Historic Preservation Commission, please plan to attend one of our
monthly meetings, which are held the third Tuesday of each month (except
December) 7 pm, City Hall. We look forward to your support in
helping make historic, residential property premier property in our
city.
