Is work on “non-historic” resources in a local historic district reviewed by the Commission?

Yes. The commission reviews all work to the exterior of all resources in the district. A non-historic (non-contributing) resource is one that is less then 50 years old or a building that is over 50 years old that has lost its integrity. The commission applies the same standards to all resources in the district. Typically, because historic material does not exist or has been lost, when the commission reviews work on non-historic buildings it is looking at issues like size, massing and placement to determine how these affect the adjacent resources and the district overall.
