In 2020, the City of Fayetteville (City) and the City of Fayetteville Historic Resources Commission (HRC) were awarded a federal Historic Preservation Fund grant for Certified Local Governments (CLG) to update the Design Guidelines for Fayetteville’s Historic Districts and Local Landmarks (Design Guidelines) to Design Standards, in accordance with North Carolina General Statute (NCGS) §160D-947. A copy of the Design Standards can be found below.

The Design Standards are used by the HRC to conduct evidentiary hearings in compliance with NCGS §160D-406 in the review of Certificate of Appropriateness applications for all real property located in either of the two local historic districts or any of the City’s locally designated Landmarks. There is a strong need to create a tool for citizens, the HRC, and the City that is current with standard preservation practices.
