Roofs are a highly visible component of historic buildings and are an integral part of a building’s overall design and architectural style. The Historic Preservation Board discussed and adopted a policy on April 2, 2013 concerning styles of metal roofing which would be allowed within the historic districts. The Historic Preservation Board approves metal roofing on a case-by-case basis depending on the style and use of the building. Staff recommends approval of the petition based on the condition that the roof be standing seam or 5V Crimp and that the finish be Galvalume or a light to medium gray paint finish.
