You’re invited to provide input into proposed updates to the city’s Historic Preservation Ordinance. This ordinance provides protections for historically significant properties and archaeological sites. The proposed changes are based in part on priorities in the 2022 Historic Preservation Plan. Your feedback will help inform draft revisions to the ordinance that will be taken through the public hearing process with dates below. Please review the draft markup of proposed updates.
Proposed ordinance changes would go to a future Historic Preservation Commission meeting, then to Tempe City Council. You can view upcoming agendas at tempe.gov/clerk.
