The designation report listed my building as a “non-contributing” structure, so why does the historic preservation commission still need to review my property?
There are two reasons. First, the commission recognizes that your property is non-contributing and subject to less stringent requirements, but they still want to ensure that any changes are compatible with the district and do not detract from its historic integrity. Second, as difficult as it may seem at the present, your property may achieve historic significance in the future.
