The purpose of a NCD program is to help neighborhoods keep their unique physical attributes through design guidelines and review. Under the proposed program, the city’s Department of Neighborhoods would review requests of neighborhoods to become a Neighborhood Conservation District and would manage a Neighborhood Conservation District Board that would review development proposals to ensure that they are consistent with the distinctive physical character of a neighborhood.
Qualifying neighborhoods would have strong design characteristics that the community would like to see preserved but may not be eligible or appropriate for historic district status.
Neighbors are invited to attend to learn more and share their perspective on Wednesday, April 8, at 6 p.m. at the Phinney Neighborhood Center (6532 Phinney Ave. N.).
