ARCHITECTURAL PRESERVATION DISTRICT - (AP-3)
This District contains neighborhoods that were constructed post World War II Colonial Revival and a more modern style dwelling which includes
the Pinecrest, Capitol Court Crispus Attucks, and the Arts and Cultural District.
The Arts and Cultural District is a subset of AP-3 and allows for more design freedom of paint colors, sign colors, and site elements to distinguish
this area from other areas in the City. Specifically, Chapter ** windows (page **), Chapter **, acceptable colors (page **), and Signs Chapter
**, Page ** describe guidelines uniquely applicable in the Arts and Cultural District.
Guidelines for the construction of existing buildings/structures are found on pages 3-6.
Guidelines for modifications to new buildings/structures are found on pages 13-16.

EXISTING BUILDINGS - (AP-3)
Preserving architectural features on the remaining historical buildings in the City is one of the principal goals of the Design Review
Guidelines. Maintaining and repairing features such as siding, trim, doors, and windows is germane essential to that goal.
Conservation is preferable to reconstruction because it preserves evidence of past building practices and construction techniques by
retaining original materials. Original wood siding, trim, and architectural features should be retained and repaired on existing
buildings whenever possible.

SIDING – (AP-3)
• Wood siding and trim on buildings listed on or eligible for the National Register of Historic Places (Appendix 1) must be replaced with
wood siding and trim that matches or duplicates the existing material or product.
• Wood siding and trim on buildings listed on the Cities Listing of Buildings 50 years old or older (Appendix 2) should be replaced with
wood siding and trim that matches or duplicates the existing material or product.
• Except for buildings listed on or eligible for the National Register of Historic Places (Appendix 1), the Architectural Review Board may
grant the following exceptions on a case-by-case basis for existing buildings:
1. If the original siding material is wood and it is covered with a synthetic material that cannot be replaced in kind because the
siding
material is no longer available in the market, replacement with other types of similar synthetic siding may be considered as
follows, provided that the original wood material is not removed:
a. Aluminum siding may be replaced with vinyl siding that resembles horizontal wood siding.
b. Asbestos siding may be replaced with vinyl siding that resembles horizontal wood siding.
2. If the original siding material is a synthetic material and cannot be replaced in kind because the existing siding is no longer
available in the market, replacement with horizontal wood siding or similar synthetic siding may be considered as follows:
a. Aluminum siding may be replaced with vinyl or cementitious siding that resembles horizontal wood siding.
b. Vinyl siding may be replaced with cementitious siding that resembles horizontal wood siding.
c. Asbestos siding may be replaced with cementitious siding that resembles horizontal wood siding.
d. Masonite siding or other hardboard sidings may be replaced with cementitious siding that resembles horizontal wood siding.
3. If vinyl siding is approved for use, it shall meet the following standards:
Standard: ASTM D3679 is the accepted industry standard for quality.
Thickness:A minimum of 0.042 inches is required for impact resistance and durability.
Style: A beaded siding with a minimum of 6.5 inches of exposure is required.
Color: White, ivory, and other soft, colonial-style colors are recommended.
