Orlando
has six Historic Preservation overlay districts that
contain a variety of architectural styles. Historic
districts are established using criteria from the City's
Land Development Code, which includes citizen involvement,
evaluation of the architectural significance of area
buildings, and consideration of the neighborhood's
contributions to Orlando's cultural heritage.
All
changes to structures within Historic Districts are vetted
through the Historic Preservation Board (HPB), which holds
public hearings each month to issue Certificates of
Appropriateness for projects within historic
districts. The City has also designated certain
buildings and signs as Historic Landmarks, alterations to
which are subject to similar review.
