to HDLC Design Guideline Advisory Committee
New Orleans and Central Business District Historic District Landmark
Commission
Public Hearing to receive comment on
Proposed Updates and Revisions to the HDLC Design Guidelines
WHAT:
A joint meeting of the New Orleans and Central Business District
Historic District Landmarks Commissions to discuss and solicit comment
on the proposed revisions and updates to the HDLC Design Guidelines.
In 2008, The New Orleans and CBD HDLC were awarded a Preserve America
Grant to update and revise their Design Guidelines. Design Guidelines
establish the rules, policies and regulations enforced by the
Commissions. Over the past year, the staff and HDLC Commissioners
have been working with a consultant to create new, clear, colorful,
simple to use, accessible guidelines for use by the public. Every
effort has been made to create reader friendly documents that explain
the mission of the HDLC, the principles behind the rules, and the
regulatory process.

New Orleans and CBD HDLC
Consultant Team
Citizens in neighborhoods and city-wide
WHEN:
Tuesday, November 9, 2010, 6:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m.
Grace Episcopal Church, Parish Hall.
3700 Canal Street
Enter at rear from Telemachus Street Parking Lot
WHY:
The City of New Orleans created the New Orleans and Central Business
District Historic District Landmarks Commissions (HDLC) in 1976 in an
effort to preserve and enhance the environmental quality of
neighborhoods; to strengthen the City’s economic base by the
stimulation of the tourist industry; to establish and improve property
values; to foster economic development; and manage growth. These goals
continue to be achieved by protecting and regulating historic
districts and landmarks though the implementation and enforcement of
design guidelines. The HDLC’s current design guidelines consist of
roughly 150 pages comprised mainly of text. This project aims to fix
this situation by rewriting and illustrating the guidelines so as to
make them more accessible. Clear, consistent and accessible
guidelines will help educate, inform and assist property owners with
maintaining and rehabilitating their historic properties . In keeping
with our world class collection of historic architecture, this new
document will set a new standard in what historic district guidelines
can achieve. Recognizing that a person’s home is often their most
valuable asset, the HDLC determined that it is critical to provide
homeowners with the tools needed to sustain or enhance its value. Our
intent is for the new guidelines to function as an owner’s manual for
historic buildings, both educating people so they can better
understand and appreciate the historic value of their neighborhoods
and individual properties; as well as illustrating how to properly
maintain and repair these valuable assets while navigating the
regulatory process. They are full of photographs and illustrations
which help explain what can be a difficult subject. With this
project, the Commissions aim to achieve the following objectives: 1)
Increase the visibility of the local historic districts for residents
and visitors. 2) Educate homeowners and provide them with the tools
needed to preserve their buildings in an appropriate manner. 3)
Increase compliance with HDLC guidelines in order to maintain the
integrity of the districts which are the foundation of the city’s
economy.
