Preservation Standards AND Guidelines August 1, 2012 Each chapter and section of these Standards and Guidelines is organized to provide basic preservation and sustainability advise and specific regulatory principles, requirements and recommendations. Each design chapter section is described with a broad policy statement followed by justification of this policy on both design and sustainability principles. Each design guideline subsection is then presented with the following levels of review: Maintenance Much work can be done to preserve and maintain buildings and properties zoned Historic Preservation or Historic Landmark without review or having to file an application for Certificate of Appropriateness. The maintenance work contained in these Standards and Guidelines may also be known by the definition contained in the Municipal Code as ―Ordinary Maintenance and Repair,‖ as further identified in these Standards and Guidelines, and including regular maintenance of a building and minor repairs (repair by replacement limited to less than 50% of any one feature or component on any one side of a building) in keeping with the circumstances and details and materials of the original design and materials. Such activities will not require a Certificate of Appropriateness for administrative staff approval or Commission approval. Administrative Review Many actions involving changes to the exterior of buildings and properties in the Historic Preservation and Historic Landmark zoned areas may be reviewed and receive administrative staff approval. Such review and approval can typically be provided in a number of days as long as applications are complete, including attachments, and as long as such actions are authorized by the Municipal Code. Historic Preservation Commission Review All other projects require review by the HPC. Property owners are encouraged to contact the Planning Department staff if they have any questions concerning the need for a Certificate of Appropriateness and the level of review required for their specific project. Maintenance, repair and rehabilitation of buildings in Oklahoma City that are zoned Historic Preservation (HP) or Historic Landmark (HL) will have different levels of review depending on the extent of proposed changes (237 NW 35th Street).

Preservation Standards AND Guidelines August 1, 2012 1.4 HISTORIC PRESERVATION AND SUSTAINABILITY Introduction Many cities across the country have adopted design guidelines to promote the preservation of historic buildings and the retention of their original materials. In the sense that preservation discourages the replacement of original architectural features, design guidelines typically are inherently ―green.‖ While design guidelines imply sustainability, making direct links between the two is now the approach of a number of community preservation efforts. Design guidelines embrace the tenets of re-use and maintenance, thus preserving historic buildings and protecting existing resources from depletion. Preservation‘s traditional focus on the aesthetic and cultural significance of historic buildings is expanding to highlight the inherent energy-efficient values of such properties as well. Sustainable Development The word ―sustainability‖ has become a common part of our modern language. One familiar definition that was popularized in 1987 by a publication of the United Nations Commission on Environment and Development is “Sustainable development meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” The concept of this definition is that sustainable development requires consideration of the finite supply of resources. Working with Nature: Site Orientation Historic buildings are often as energy-efficient as new ones. Buildings constructed before World War II were designed, constructed, and sited to achieve optimum ventilation, insulation, and use of daylight. Over the past sixty years, as electricity, synthetic insulation, and central heating and air conditioning systems became standard installations in modern construction, architectural design no longer required attention to the natural environment. Quality and longevity of building materials also became less important, as these modern conveniences could control the interior climate of buildings and materials were readily available to build anew. Dwellings in the city's historic districts were designed with inherent energy conservation methods in the days before air conditioning. This included wide roof eaves, broad porches, windows for cross ventilation (such as double hung windows) and awnings for window shade. (416 NW 22nd Street) Oklahoma City Historic Districts 11
