3. Design Guidelines for Westmoreland Place Historic District – Draft ‐ Mayor Ralph Becker has initiated a petition to create Design Guidelines for the Westmoreland Place Historic District in Salt Lake City. Westmoreland Place was designated as a Local Historic District in 2010. These guidelines will amend the Design Guidelines for Historic Residential Properties and Districts (Preservation Handbook) to create an additional chapter for the district. The proposed Westmoreland chapter will supplement the general guidelines in the Handbook and address the specific characteristics of this historic district. For architects, designers, contractors and property owners, they provide guidance in planning and designing future projects. For city staff and the historic landmark commission, they provide guidance for the interpretation of the zoning ordinance standards. Design guidelines are officially adopted by city council. The Historic Landmark Commission will hold a Public Hearing, receive public comments, and review the draft design guidelines.
