The City Council formally adopted the "Preservation Guidelines and Standards for Oklahoma City Historic Districts" on March 11, 2003. These took effect on April 10, 2003.
The Council also approved a number of amendments to the Historic Preservation ordinance required to support the adoption of the Guidelines and Standards, as well as several other changes sought by HP stakeholders to improve the historic preservation process.
These include providing for the establishment of neighborhood based preservation review committees, redirecting appeals from the City Council to the Board of Adjustment, and inserting provisions that authorize the Historic Preservation Commission to deny requests for demolition of significant historic structures.
For questions on how these adopted changes may affect any work that you may be contemplating to the exterior of your property, or for general questions concerning the City’s historic preservation program, please contact 405 297-2576.
