Meeting Calendar List

Wednesday, March 2, the City will hold a public Town Hall meeting from 6 to 8 p.m. in the East Mezzanine at City Hall, 72 West College Ave., to discuss the proposal of a new commercial historic district downtown.

This pertains specifically to business owners within a commercial area of Chadbourne Street located north of the Concho River, east of North Irving Street, south of East 4th Street and west of South Oakes Street.

The City is concerned with protecting the historic integrity of downtown buildings and will now require a Certificate of Appropriateness approval from the Design and Historic Review Commission (DHRC) for any exterior new construction, reconstruction, alteration, restoration or rehabilitation, as well as any material change to exterior elements, including signs, fencing and light fixtures visible from public rights-of-way in the district. Applicants should submit, along with their applications, drawings that show all site improvements and full building elevations detailing proposed building materials and colors to City staff and the DHRC.

Approval is not required for interior work.

If you have further questions, please contact the Planning Division at 325-657-4210 or email planning@cosatx.us. Anyone interested in this subject is invited to attend the Town Hall meeting next Wednesday from 6 to 8 p.m. in the East Mezzanine at City Hall.
