Committee Purpose:
The committee strives to provide a clear and balanced ordinance that
enables the preservation and protection of the authentic and
unique qualities of the National Historic Landmark
District and adjacent areas while providing for excellence in
new design and urban development.
We welcome you to participate in this process by viewing information related to the HDRC
process on the webpage. You are also encouraged to submit your comments to our Project
Coordinator, Sarah Ward, whose contact information is shown below. In addition, at each
meeting we will have time on the agenda to hear from the public.
Please visit our webpage at www.savannahhdrc.org to review all of the presentations, case studies, historical background, and mapping that was developed and analysed to produce the new standards in the ordinance. Comments received during the public comment period (June-July 2009) and the MPC Staff Responses can all be accessed on the website.
