Info

This development is subject to existing historic preservation design review. Review traffic patterns and related environment with the intent of finding and implementing solutions to changing transportation needs while retaining the unique character of each historic districts. Work with building code officials to identify and implement alternate regulations with the intent of preserving historic structures while achieving the intent and purposes of current and future codes affecting life/safety issues. Work with City officials to insure that any infrastructure improvements that effect the character of the district respond to existing design guidelines. Non-Residential Buildings and Districts The character of a great city is, to many, defined by its commercial districts, particularly its downtown. Although half of Oklahoma City’s downtown core was demolished in the 1970s, significant buildings remain. Recent capital expenditures in the downtown core and Bricktown have already resulted in a noticeable increase in economic activity there. Neighborhood commercial districts are part of the identity of, and provide amenities for, their nearby residential areas. Three historic commercial districts (Stockyards City, Automobile Alley, and Capitol Hill) have established Main Street programs, utilizing organization, historic design guidelines, economic restructuring, and promotion activities. Government facilities are important visual elements in the cityscape. Included are facilities of the city, county, state, and federal governments, as well as schools. They include such diverse elements as parks, bridges, schools, dams, airports, and water works, as well as public buildings. Many of these facilities retain their historic integrity. Directions Document and preserve significant historic non-residential buildings and districts. Use incentives, as well as regulations to facilitate preservation. Actions Inventory and establish design review for significant commercial, public, and educational buildings and districts. Prioritize those historic properties based on significance, integrity and endangerment. Develop local tax incentives, including business improvement districts, tax increment financing, and rebates specifically designed to serve historic preservation goals. Promote federal historic tax credits. 75
Encourage listings in the National Register of Historic Places, including government buildings, for recognition and for availability of federal tax credits for income-producing properties. Maintain the historic integrity of historic government facilities. Establish and/or implement an appropriate design review process. Encourage participation in the Oklahoma Main Street Program. Develop incentives and marketing strategies to promote economic activity in historic commercial districts and buildings. Continue to promote Bricktown and the downtown core. Encourage the development of neighborhood cultural districts. Allocate capital funds to renew infrastructure and other works to facilitate revitalization of historic commercial districts. Examine and adopt as appropriate alternate building codes for historic structures. Investigate established codes developed by other cities to supplement existing codes. Stabilize historic dilapidated buildings as an alternative to demolition. Zone districts and high-priority individual properties to require design review based on established preservation practice. 76
